Qinghua Town Series

The next day, after Qin Can told Boss Yu Wan Laoer that he and Cen Xi needed to go to Wuxi Mountain to investigate, the two agreed to take them to Wuxi Mountain, accompanied by Yan San and several subordinates.

When the people from Mount Wuxi saw such a large group of people coming from Heiyun Jiulongzhai, they all copied the guys and blocked the door, everyone was ready to fight.

However, after hearing their intentions, the people in Wuxi Mountain didn't feel too embarrassed, but they refused to let other people from Heiyun Jiulong Village come in, saying that Wu Wei only let Qin Can and Cen Xi into the village.

The head of the family was very happy about this, and asked people to wait for them at the gate of the cottage, but Yan San was unreasonable and insisted on following them.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight again, Qin Can thought he was unlucky, and stood in front of the shining knives on both sides, making everyone give in. Finally, Wu Xishan agreed that Yan San would come with them.

"This is my second brother's room."

Ah Yi brought Qin Can, Cen Xi and Yan San to the place where Ah Liang lived before his disappearance.

"That day, Yunniang's body was lying on the door of the room. When we found her, she was covered with wounds, but my second brother was not in the room. We all thought that the second brother had gone to Qinghua Town, but after that day, we didn't see her again. I haven't seen my second brother either."

Qin Can nodded, "Since your second brother disappeared, has nothing in his room been touched?"

"no."

Qin Can and Cen Xi walked into Ah Liang's room one after another, and then signaled Ah Yi not to stay here. Ah Yi hesitated, and retreated outside the door. Yan San did not come in either, and leaned against the door with a knife in his hand to watch them.

The furnishings in Aliang's room are also extremely simple, with an earthen kang and several cabinets, which can be seen at a glance, but the two still feel that they should search carefully to see if there is anything related to Yunniang's death and his disappearance. relationship stuff.

"Cen Xi, come and see." Qin Can took out a bag of things from under the kang.

It was a bundle, mixed among the ashes of plucked coals and logs, and a half-burnt book.

Cen Xi noticed this book, picked it up and flipped through it, and when he turned to a certain page, he frowned, put the book on the kang, and then took out from his sleeve pocket the paper that Qin Can found in Yunniang's room and wrote The paper with the strange prescription was put on, and the side with the tear marks was put together against a certain broken page in the book.

Although the book was burned a little, the tear left inside and the tear on the paper just coincided.

"What is written in this book?" Qin Can asked.

Cen Xi didn't answer him, and carefully looked at the remaining places that hadn't been burned, and then pointed to a grass painted on one of the pages to show Qin Can, "Look, do the leaves of this grass look like I'm on the cloud? The half leaf found in Mother's stomach."

Qin Can touched his chin and looked, not very sure.

"This book should be some kind of manuscript handed down among the people. There are many prescriptions that I have never heard of written on it. One of them is said to be able to make people die in a state of blood stop and heartbeat for a period of time. , but after the effect of the medicine wears off, people will wake up on their own..." Cen Xi explained to him the contents of the pages before and after the page that was torn off.

"suspended animation?"

Qin Can's eyes fell on the bag. There was no trace of burning on the bag, so it must have been hidden there on purpose. Qin Can hurriedly unwrapped the bag. As soon as he opened it, he was stunned for a moment.

Yan San and Ah Yi, who were leaning against the door, were also surprised when they saw what was exposed in the package they opened.

The bundle was full of gold and silver ingots, each worth twelve taels, so bright that it dazzled the eye.

"It's official silver!" Cen Xi took one and turned it over, and there was an official brand on the bottom.

They then remembered what Boss Yu had said, that there were a lot of official silver in that batch of birth certificates, and they had picked up silver ingots washed down by the stream in the stream at the back of the mountain, but most of the time they picked up silver ingots. They are all bits and pieces of small objects.

"Cen Xi, what do you think?"

"Me?" Cen Xi pursed his lips, and did not answer immediately, but looked down at the fragmented copy in his hand.

"I know this grass!"

Ah Yi rushed in a little excitedly, grabbed Cen Xi's hand holding the fragmented copy, and with the other hand pointed to the grass painted on the fragmented copy.

"I, I have seen it. At that time, my second brother was holding it in his hand. I asked him, and he said that it was picked in Yunlong Mountain, and it was for Yunniang. I didn't understand this thing, so I thought it was Yunniang. What disease, my second brother was worried about her, so he went to help her gather herbs."

Hearing Ah Yi say this, Cen Xi and Qin Can looked at each other, and then Cen Xi asked him, "When did that happen?"

Ah Yi thought for a while and replied, "Probably not long before my brother disappeared."

When Cen Xi heard about it, he got up, held the fragmented copy in one hand, and put the other behind his back, thinking while slowly turning around in the room, everyone looked at him and dared not make a sound.

After a while, Cen Xi suddenly smiled and nodded, then turned around.

"I know what's going on!"

Cen Xi asked Ah Yi to call Wu Wei, Boss Yu, and others to a place where they could talk. After a while, the two groups gathered in the meeting hall of the village, just like that day in Heiyun Jiulong Village. The two groups were divided into two sides. While sitting, the expression on the face is not very good-looking, and there is a murderous look around.

When everyone was here, Cen Xi said, "I already know what happened to Yunniang's corpse..."

Someone from Heiyun Jiulongzhai below shouted loudly, "Did the Wuxishan gang do it?"

"You fart!"

The people in Wuxi Mountain were about to jump up. Wu Wei and Boss Yu slapped the coffee table next to them at the same time. There were two "bang" and "pop", and the two coffee tables turned into two piles of waste wood.

Boss Yu raised his hand and bowed to Wu Wei, "I think this is Heiyun Jiulongzhai, and I'll send one back to you later."

Wu Wei laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Boss Yu's temper is better than before." Then he waved his hand, "It's not in the way! Why don't we just have a tea table! Quiet me, and listen to what the county magistrate has to say."

When Cen Xi saw that they were all at peace, Qin Can nodded to him, and then continued, "Many people in Heiyun Jiulongzhai watched Yunniang be buried, but Yunniang appeared in Wuxi Mountain again the next day. Why? ? Could it be that Yunniang really cared about Ah Liang after her death, so she died but her body was not stiff, so she walked here?"

The people below looked at each other, but they were not sure.

Cen Xi smiled calmly, took out a cloth bag from his sleeve pocket, took out a piece of dry grass leaf from it, and showed it to everyone present, "The key is this."

He took the fragmented book in Aliang's room again, and waved it up, "We had no clue at first, but after we found the half-burned book in the soil in Aliang's room, everything became clear." It’s all cleared up.”

Cen Xi turned to that page and compared the blade of grass in his hand with the picture on the book. The sawtooth pattern on the edge of the blade of grass was exactly the same as the picture on the book.

"There is a prescription written in this manuscript, which can make people suspended animation after taking it. I think A Liang found this book somewhere, saw the prescription written in the book, and came up with Yunniang together. The method of feigning death to hide it from everyone, and then going away together.”

There was an uproar below.

"We found a tunnel in Yunniang's room leading to the mountain road at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, and found this package full of gold and silver in Aliang's room. Obviously they had planned it, but... something happened in the middle misfortune."

"What happened then?"

Cen Xi took out a silver ingot from the bag, and turned the bottom to the people below. After seeing the stamp on the bottom of the silver ingot, there was an uproar below, and Wu Wei whispered three words...

"Birthdate... Tsunade?"

The voice was very low, almost inaudible under the noisy discussion of other people, but it fell into the ears of Yan San who was closer to him, and Yan San glanced sideways at Wu Wei.

Cen Xi waited until everyone became quiet again before continuing to speak about the conclusions he had deduced based on these clues.

"It is recorded in the fragments that the grass found in Yunniang's stomach is the key to the fake death medicine. It is called "Shen You", and it likes dark and humid places, and it mostly grows beside mountain streams.

"A Liang saw this manuscript by accident, and thought that Yun Niang could try this prescription. After everyone thought that Yun Niang had died and was buried, A Liang dug Yun Niang out again, and the two of them fled away.

"Yunlong Mountain is rich in treasures. The two searched along the mountain stream. They did not expect that they found this kind of grass. After that, everyone knew that Yunniang was put under house arrest, but she dug a tunnel in the room. She died suddenly early in the morning, and the people of Heiyun Jiulongzhai thought she died of exhaustion due to excessive grief, so they buried her.

"After that, Ah Liang came to Heiyun Jiulong Village through that tunnel, went to the back mountain, and dug Yunniang out of the grave. The two should have left together, but why did Yunniang appear in Wuniang with stab wounds all over her body? Xishan, but Ah Liang has lost his whereabouts?"

Cen Xi shook his hands, and the gold and silver ingots rolled to the ground one after another, and he pulled out the cloth that wrapped these things.

"Yunniang usually spins some cloth, makes some embroidery and sells it in Qinghua Town, and this piece of cloth is actually the silk handkerchief that Yunniang usually uses."

Shake it open, it is embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and there is a word "cloud" in the lower left corner.

"Although some people often pick up beads, broken jade and other things in the stream at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, these silver and gold ingots cannot be moved by the gurgling stream. I think it should be Yunniang who is looking for "Shen You" ’, I accidentally found the batch of birthday cards that were lost that year.”

"Yunniang is not greedy. Maybe she also knows that this thing will cause trouble to her upper body. She only wants to leave here, so she only took a little bit. It is used for living outside after running away with A Liang. But after A Liang knew it, he got up Greed, asked Yunniang to tell the location of the birth date, the two had a dispute, and then Ah Liang..."

"Nonsense!" Ah Yi jumped up violently, pointing at Cen Xi with trembling fingers, his face flushed angrily, "You, you... how can you conclude that my second brother was greedy for money and murdered based on these things?" The excited look seemed to be He wanted to rush forward to fight Cen Xi desperately, but fortunately, several people around him held him back.

"I can't draw conclusions right now, I'm just speculating, but if this is the case, I still need to find your second brother and confront him face-to-face."

Cen Xi walked up to him step by step, with an indifferent expression and a calm tone, "Maybe your second brother's disappearance is just a cover, you actually know that your second brother killed Yunniang, and you are afraid that people in Heiyun Jiulongzhai will take revenge on him if they find out. , so fled. You stay here to confuse everyone's eyes and ears, making people think that Yunniang loves so much that she refuses to rest in peace after death, and took your second brother away with her corpse."

"I didn't! My second brother is really missing!" Ah Yi argued loudly.

Cen Xi didn't allow him to argue, "You keep him under surveillance, the next step is to find Ah Liang!"

"let me go!"

Ah Yi let out a loud roar, and with a sudden burst of brute force, the people who were holding him were thrown away, and then he grabbed the knife from the person next to him, and before Cen Xi could react, he pulled him in front of him, The knife in his hand rested on his neck.

"Cen Xi!"

Seeing that Qin Can was about to step forward, Ah Yi tightened the knife in his hand to Cen Xi's neck a little bit. He was agitated, his ears and neck were flushed, and the veins on his forehead were also bulging.

"Don't come here, or I'll take his head!"

Then he turned his head to Cen Xi, gritted his teeth, "I knew for a long time that you two and Heiyun Jiulongzhai were in the same boat, and you were all out of one nostril. How much benefit did you take from them to frame my second brother and Mount Wuxi like this? "

Ah Yi supported Cen Xi, stepped back, and exited the meeting hall, surrounded by everyone.

"Ah Yi, put down the knife!" Wu Wei moved the person in front of him aside, frowned, and said slightly angrily, "Even if you don't agree with his reasoning, you shouldn't do that!"

"Master, this is clearly a trick conceived by the people of Heiyun Jiulongzhai. They made us unrighteous, and then took the opportunity to disintegrate our Mount Wuxi."

Qin Can was naturally nervous about Cen Xi's safety, but there was nothing he could do to help him, so he could only worry on the sidelines, scratching his head and thinking about how to save Cen Xi.Suddenly he saw Yan San standing there, calmly pressing his hand on the handle of the knife, his wrist shook, and the long knife made a light "click".

Qin Can took a deep breath, not daring to breathe, and then saw a white light flickering in front of his eyes, Yan San had already jumped out, and the green calf knife swung at Ayi.Ah Yi sideways avoided, but he didn't let go of Cen Xi, instead he pushed Cen Xi in front of him, using him to block Yan San's saber.

Yan San was forced back by his knife, Qin Can rushed up to grab his arm, "Don't hurt Cen Xi."

Yan San glanced at him coldly, "Shut up, stupid monkey!"

He broke away from Qin Can's grip on his hand, and fought with Ah Yi again.

And the others were also in a mess, people on both sides didn't know whether to fight or help arrest people, Ah Yi saw that he couldn't beat them, so he dragged Cen Xi and ran to the back of the mountain.

Yan San chased after him, stopped for a while in front of a dark forest where he couldn't see the bottom, and then chased in.

When Qin Can saw that the others were standing still, he became furious, "What are you all doing standing here? Why don't you hurry up and save people? Did you hear me?! I told you to save people!"

"That road goes to the depths of Yunlong Mountain..." someone in the crowd said so.

Qin Can froze for a moment, and then yelled at Boss Yu and the others, "Why are you motionless? Why don't you go save people?! I told you to save people, do you hear me?!" At the end of the talk, he was hoarse, his eyes were red and he almost went crazy same.

Boss Yu sighed and patted Qin Can on the shoulder.

"At least the third child is following...Brother Qin, don't worry, we will save people, but this mountain is very evil, we can't go in so rashly."

When Qin Can heard him say that people must be saved, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had seen hope, but when he heard the words behind him, his eyes immediately darkened again.

Boss Yu turned to the human behind him and said, "Go back and get ready, we will go into the mountains to find someone."

"We're going here too." Wu Wei said beside him.

Boss Yu looked at him with a surprised expression, but Wu Wei smiled back, "For the past few years, I have been thinking about what happened at that time, what happened in the mountains back then, I think, maybe I really want to go back to There, you can find it.”

Boss Yu looked at him for a while, then turned around, "Don't delay here, go back quickly and get the guy into the mountain to find someone."

"Yes!"

The people from Heiyun Jiulongzhai followed Boss Yu and Lao Er Wan to go back, and other people from Wuxi Mountain also went to prepare ropes, torches and other things.

Qin Can was about to follow Boss Yu and the others, but turned back to look at the mountain forest worriedly, and seeing Wu Wei standing there, he asked him, "Boss Wu, do you really not remember anything about that year? ?”

Wu Wei turned back and smiled, his rough face was full of loneliness, "You don't believe it, even I don't believe it, why don't I remember anything..." After finishing speaking, he looked down at his raised right hand, It was as if he had grasped his hands twice unconsciously.

Qin Can didn't say any more, seeing that Boss Yu and the others had gone far away, he hurried to catch up.

"Three masters!"

"Young Master Cen!"

Qin Can stood behind the cottage leading to the depths of Yunlong Mountain, looking anxiously in the direction of the forest.

The sky quickly darkened, and light spots rose one after another in the woods, moving slowly, almost connecting with the stars in the sky in the distance, making it impossible to distinguish where is the boundless sky and where is the bottomless abyss .

The voice of calling the two names echoed in the valley, mixed with the whistling of the mountain wind, it sounded a bit shrill.

"Cai Cai, when will we find Xixi and San Dangjia?" Xiao Jiu Niang tugged at Qin Can's sleeve and asked him with a small face raised.

Qin Can bent down and picked him up, "I'll find it soon."

"San Dangjia and Xixi have to come back early. People can eat people in Yunlong Mountain. Last year, Xingren and Nuomi were the most courageous. Xingren ran into the mountain alone...and never came out again..." Xiao Jiuniang was deflated With his mouth deflated, Dou Da's tears fell down.

Qin Can patted his head to comfort him, but at the moment he was very disturbed, there was always a bad feeling lingering, and he couldn't shake it off, so he could only pray secretly, hoping that there would be nothing wrong with Cen Xi and Yan San...

Boss Yu asked Qin Can to go back to the cottage to wait, and Xiao Jiuniang and the others followed him, adding to the chaos in the team.

Although Qin Can was unwilling, he still brought Xiao Jiuniang and the others back to the cottage, but walked up and down the room all night without feeling sleepy at all. It was only in the early morning that he was worried and anxious all night, and sat at the table with his hands on his hands. With his head rubbed, he fell asleep in a daze.

"Pu Yuan..."

Qin Can slept very lightly, and woke up in a daze when he heard the voice, and saw Cen Xi sitting at the opposite table.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Qin Can jumped up excitedly.

"Cen Xi, you're back, you scared me to death..."

Qin Can stretched out his hand to give him a hug, but he didn't expect to go straight through Cen Xi's body, staggered twice, and managed not to fall to the ground.

Qin Can turned his head in disbelief, and saw that Cen Xi was still sitting there in the same posture, and he didn't turn his head to look at himself.

"Cen Xi, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Qin Can walked over again, reaching out his hand to touch his shoulder, but the next moment, the incredible thing happened again——

His hand went through, and he could only see Cen Xi, but couldn't touch him.

"Pu Yuan, I've been thinking, in fact, I shouldn't have come here with you."

"Cen Xi, tell me what happened first?"

But Cen Xi just continued on his own, "I hope that after I'm gone, you can restrain yourself a bit... Even if it's not to cater to the bets of His Highness the Crown Prince, it's also for the people of Longtai County."

Qin Can shook his head, "Cen Xi, why can't I understand what you are talking about? Cen Xi?"

Cen Xi, who was sitting there, suddenly disappeared out of thin air after saying those few words. Qin Can rubbed his eyes. There was indeed no one at the place where Cen Xi sat just now...

"Cen Xi?... Cen Xi!"

Qin Can woke up suddenly, the sunlight coming in through the pane was very dazzling, he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, it took a moment to get used to it, and then he stood up abruptly.

Qin Can looked across the table, but there was nothing there, and the door was closed, it didn't look like anyone had come in at all.

"Cen Xi..."

Qin Can only felt that the uneasiness in his heart was getting heavier and heavier. This dream was too unlucky, maybe something happened to him...

No!Will not!Nothing can happen to Cen Xi!

Qin Can suddenly woke up, stumbled to the door, opened it and walked out.

The cottage was not as noisy as usual, Qin Can grabbed the shoulder of the oncoming person and asked, "Is Cen Xi back yet?"

The man shook his head, "Mr. Cen has not been found yet, and there is no news of the third master."

Qin Can let go of him and ran towards the back mountain.

"Hey, Lord Qin! You can't go there!"

"Let me go! I'm going to find Cen Xi!"

Regardless of people's obstruction, Qin Can got into the woods of the back mountain.

"Cen Xi!"

"Cen Xi! Where are you?"

There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and it made a clicking sound when one stepped on it, one foot was high and the other was low, making it very difficult to walk.

The trees in the mountains have grown for dozens or even hundreds of years, tall and dense, with vertical and horizontal branches, and open crowns with lush branches and leaves.

Like a bird's canopy, it covers all the sunlight that shines on it, only a little bit of light falls through the gaps in the branches and leaves, shining like a firefly.

Even though it was sunny outside, it was dark, cool and windy in the woods.

Qin Can called Cen Xi's name while running, the morning dew that had not yet dissipated fell on him, and the dwarf thorns growing on the ground scratched his clothes, and he didn't know how long he ran until he was too tired to walk anymore stopped.

Qin Can leaned his back against a big tree and panted heavily. After recovering, he realized that he didn't know where he had gone.

Looking back, the road along the way was blocked again by bushes, surrounded by dense trees, as if no one had ever been there, unknown birds made shrill calls on the trees above, and occasionally there were one or two There was a long ending sound, like the call of a wild animal, and under the darkness deep in the trees, there seemed to be something hidden, and it was staring at this place.

Only then did Qin Can become a little scared. It was so dark in broad daylight, and the surrounding trees all looked similar, and he couldn't even find the way. I can't get out either.

But he remembered that the creek at the foot of the mountain came out of Yunlong Mountain. He just had to find the water source and follow the direction of the water flow, so he could always get out. Now the key is to find Cen Xi.

Qin Can looked around, but he didn't notice it just now, and he didn't know where to go now. At this time, the bushes not far from him shook.

"Cen Xi?"

Qin Can walked over, pushed aside the branches and leaves, and found a wild rabbit underneath. He was about to turn around a little discouraged. He was startled suddenly, and looked over again, and found that one of the rabbit's front legs was wrapped around one of its front legs, which seemed to be from the clothes. Torn strips.But before he could see clearly, the rabbit hopped and ran away.

"Hey! Come back! Shhh! Come here!"

But how could the rabbit understand human words, and jumped forward on its own, so Qin Can followed it and chased after it, but after all, it was not as good as it was not blocked by the bushes at the bottom. After chasing for a long time, the wild rabbit squatted there He gnawed the grass roots.

Seeing that he could catch it with a hook, he didn't expect that there was a slope below. The leaves that had been laid there for many years blocked Qin Can's sight, but they couldn't bear his weight.

When Qin Can stepped down, the ground sank suddenly. The rabbit was startled by the sound, and ran away with trembling ears, but Qin Can was not so flexible, he stepped on the ground and rolled directly down.
