The Folk Song of the Qingquan Case in the Northern Song Dynasty

"Master Yi, what's the matter? Are you okay!" Wu Bai yelled.And Xiangquan's heart was as frozen.The side hole is blocked, if so...

He didn't have time to think about it. Seeing that the "well" was extremely unstable and in danger of collapsing, he grabbed the rope and quickly climbed out.

Shui Yun, Wu Bai, and Hei Hei could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Xiang Quan come out.

When Xiangquan stood firm, his whole body was ashamed, and even his white clothes were covered with dirt.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Hei Hei asked anxiously.

Xiangquan just shook his head and described the situation in the cave with a few words.The side cave collapsed, and if Qianqing was inside, it might be a disaster; but he once called Qianqing's name in the cave, several times, but no one answered.

Hei Hei suddenly cried.Xiang Quan has never seen Hei Hei cry, she is not beautiful in herself, and it is even uglier when she cries.But Xiang Quan didn't think she was ugly, his heart itself had no emotion, and now hearing Hei Hei crying, he just felt sad.

The snow was like dust and fell in the village. Xiang Quan never imagined that such a thing would happen under his nose.Everyone has fears, but for Yi Xiangquan, what he fears the most is that an accident happens before his eyes, and he is powerless to stop it.

How to rescue him?The side hole collapsed, and the soil was soft. Digging into the hole again, not to mention the huge amount of work, would only increase the danger.What's more, if you don't know the exact location of Qianqing, how can you dig it?

The cave collapsed, and if a person was in it, it would be like being buried in an earthquake. Even if he was lucky, it would cause many bones to break in his body; if he was unlucky, he would directly suffocate and die.

Clean up...

He would rather delude himself into believing he was fine.

Xiangquan stood up slowly.He had no choice but to think that Yi Xiangquan would have today.Now he can only take the most stupid way, which is also the last thing he wants to do - dig three feet into the ground.To see people in life, to see corpses in death, even if he was buried in the mud dryly, he had to dig it out and bring it back to Yongcheng.

Xiang Quan was not overjoyed or sad, but his face was a little pale, as pale as snow fluttering in the sky, leaving almost nothing but ice-coldness.

Shuiyun comforted Heihei.Her words drifted into Xiangquan's ears.

"Sister Heihei, Mr. Xia is definitely fine. There are so many broken wooden slats on the side wall of the hole, Mr. Xia must rub against these wooden slats and fall, and he won't die! Either Mr. Xia is fatal..."

Xiang Quan took a look at the hole, and saw that there were many wooden strips on the wall of the hole, which could not be seen at first glance.

slats--

Xiangquan was startled, suddenly squatted down and looked into the cave with a lantern, and then showed a surprised expression.He sat on the ground all of a sudden, expressionless.

He is thinking.

The sun was shining brightly this morning. I thought it would be a sunny day, but at this time, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and there was a trace of coldness. There were scattered snowflakes in the black sky, making the sky and the earth look like one.Wu Cun lay quietly in the steep mountains and deep in the jungle, whispering words that others could not understand.The snow on the ground gradually melted, revealing the color of the land.Now that the snow is falling, it seems to fill in the bare ground, and slowly, little by little, fill in the truth of the weird incident in Wu Village.

"Master Yi?" Wu Bai called him.Xiangquan is really a weird person, and Wu Bai also thinks so now.

"Shuiyun, do you still remember the pattern of the paper kite?" Xiangquan asked suddenly.

Shui Yun was stunned for a moment: "The paper kite Wu Bai gave me? I don't remember. The pattern is very complicated, I really don't remember it, I can't blame me!"

Xiangquan just nodded, and slowly stood up, like a winter pine and cypress standing in the snow with a cool look.He calmed down and thought about it, if he really wanted to dig, it would take hundreds of people.But according to the inference, Qian Qing may not be buried in the ground.

"I tried to ask for help tonight, but someone will come to the rescue. After that, I will ask someone to come and dig—"

His last two words entered the ears of the remaining three people like thorns.

Shui Yun was startled and said: "Then, isn't Mr. Xia really—"

Xiang Quan shook his head, it was too early to make a conclusion.He kept the white sarcophagus in the snow in his eyes, and turned to ask the three of them: "You should tell me about the sarcophagus. When I go down the mountain, someone will definitely come to investigate."

He looked at the sarcophagus, and then at Shuiyun.

Seeing Xiangquan looking at the sarcophagus, Heihei knew what Xiangquan wanted to ask.She looked at Shuiyun's pale face and nodded slightly.

"Who is the woman in the sarcophagus? How was she killed?"

Heihei was taken aback.Dumb child did die unexpectedly - but Yi Xiangquan knew this, which is really surprising.

"Please take a step to talk." Wu Bai asked Xiangquan to follow him, and returned to Wu Bai's room, and then he told the story of the mute's death.He talked about it from the day Qianqing entered the village until the arrival of Xiangquan.

During this time, Xiang Quan kept frowning and remained silent.He seemed to be sorting out his thoughts, but Wu Bai just shook his head: "Some of the tragic things are predestined, and some... are man-made. Since Granny Meng fell off the cliff, the dumb sister died for no reason, and Miss Quze unexpectedly left the village , Mr. Xia suddenly disappeared, Feng Jiuniang was at large, and followed the money..."

Xiang Quan shook his head, he seemed very tired.I didn't close my eyes all night last night, and today is so exhausting.

"I make a living as a fortune teller. I wandered around and encountered countless strange things. However, what happened in your village is the strangest of all strange things."

Wu Bai raised his eyebrows: "How do you say that? I think it's just the death of Mister Dumb..."

"No." Xiangquan closed his eyes and said a firm "no".

Wu Bai was taken aback.Xiang Quan turned and said: "These incidents seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are extremely closely related and extremely complicated. This is... one of the most 'ingenious' cases I have ever seen."

"Why do you say 'clever'?"

Xiangquan stood up and went straight out the door: "Ingenious causal relationship. But in just a few days, a series of strange things happened in the village. It seems ordinary, but there are hidden secrets. If I guess correctly, the cause and effect of these things The source is that folk song."

Wu Bai was stunned: "How could it be? There are indeed similarities between what happened in the past few days and folk songs, but, but, these things have nothing to do with each other at all! Since Mr. Yi is a fortune teller, do you want to mention it? And curses, ghosts, and the like, but I don't believe in it!"

When Xiang Quan went out, he seemed to want to go back to the house and take a nap, maybe because he was too sleepy, the bright light outside the house hurt his eyes.He narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed: "I'll take a break and sort out the answer later. This case is very difficult to solve because it is too trivial, but put together in one place, the result is unique."

Xiangquan slowly walked into the snow.Wu Bai looked at his back, but heard him say a few words.

"Soon, soon. When Xia Qianqing is found, it will be soon."

Seeing this, Wu Bai knew that Xiangquan couldn't take it anymore, both physically and mentally.He intended to ask "why wait until the dark night to ask for help", but the words came out of his mouth, but he swallowed them again.

At this time, heihei settled the water cloud and went to cook.There were a lot of accidents today, and I was busy for a long time, but the food must be done after all.Heihei deeply understands this truth, no matter what happens, food must be eaten.

She was busy in the kitchen for a while, and then went to fetch water from the small river.

In the past, she and Mute carried it together, but now only Hei Hei is left.She couldn't help walking desolately on the gravel path. This path was taken by Hei Hei from childhood to adulthood, and she didn't know how many years she would have to walk in the future.The village is there, and the people are there.She might stay in this village for the rest of her life, what a frightening thing it is.

Maybe it will be better after moving to the village.However, a small mountain village is a small mountain village.

Hei Hei sighed.Did Feng Jiuniang do so many wrong things in order to get rid of this fate?Ten years later, will Hei Hei become the same as Feng Jiuniang?

She was thinking wildly, and felt that Cangshan Mountain was like an iron wall, completely sealing off her thinking.After she walked over the edge of the gully, she unconsciously looked down the gully.

With just this unconscious glance, the bucket in Hei Hei's hand fell to the ground with a bang.She squatted down with her eyes glazed over, and the dirt rubbed against the coarse cloth skirt.But Hei Hei didn't care - she was almost stuck to the ground, just to get closer and see what was under the gully.

She saw it, she really saw it!

Hei Hei's throat moved, and she was so excited that she couldn't make any sound, her heart was beating wildly, and the blood in her brain was rushing up. After she took a deep breath, she uttered a burst of surprise——

"Master Xia! It's Mr. Xia! Quick! He's under the ravine!"
