Lu Yingyi said: "Sister Wenxiu, you said that Zhuo Yang was picked up by Ling Zun from the mountains? Then did you go to his biological parents later?" At that time, it was already the late eighties, and no matter how remote the mountainous areas were, they gradually communicated with the outside world, how could a child like Zhuo Yang appear alone in the deep mountains and old forests?

Rui Wenxiu's hand stopped, then moved again, and began to light incense and bow, she said: "I should have looked for it, but I didn't find it." My father did it at the time, but ......"

"But?"

Rui Wenxiu said: "However, it may also be gone." She said, "After listening to what you said yesterday, I specially went to check the records at home, Ah Yang's secret weapon in the Rui cemetery is called Tianshui needle, this kind of needle quenched my Rui family's unique poison, but anyone who is injected with the needle will poison the whole body within half an hour, and die of organ failure." ”

Lu Yingyi was taken aback: "That Zhuoyang ......"

"He'll be fine soon, right?" Rui Wenxiu looked at Lu Yingyi and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, Ah Yang's blood can actually be used as an antidote." ”

Lu Ying was confused and said, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I'm afraid that Ah Yang has also been trained by the medicine man, and my father may have known that he would not be able to return home one day, so he cultivated him as the orthodox heir of the dart game. ”

When Lu Ying went back, he saw Zhuo Yang sitting at the table looking at something, and there were two treasures they had brought back from Rui Ruhai's tomb on the table, a broken iron spear head, and a stack of papers. Because the painting was soaked in water, Lu Yingyi asked Rui Wenxiu to send it to the local cultural relics department to find an acquaintance to repair it, but the stack of paper escaped because it was well sealed, and Zhuo Yang is now looking at the stack of paper seriously.

As soon as he saw Lu Ying come in, Zhuo Yang just looked up at him, but he didn't say anything, and looked down at the paper again.

Lu Yingyi: "......"

Lu Ying shouted at him: "Zhuoyang?"

Zhuo Yang ignored him. Lu Yingyi was inexplicable, and walked over to push him: "Hey, what are you doing, didn't you see me, why don't you ignore me?"

Zhuo Yang looked at the papers without blinking and said, "You didn't tell me when you went out with Sister Wenxiu, I slept next to you, and you can see it." ”

Lu Yingyi was speechless, Zhuo Yang's way of thinking was really ...... No, the question is what is delicious about this vinegar! Lu Yingyi said: "Please, you also know that I am going out with Sister Wenxiu, so what can you say I can do with a married woman or a newlywed bride!"

Zhuo Yang glanced at him: "But you didn't tell me!"

"Poof. Lu Ying couldn't hold back one by one, and lay on the table with a smile, why didn't anyone sue him that this big man was actually so clingy and childish! Zhuo Yang looked at Lu Ying and smiled, he originally wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry when he looked at it, and finally sighed and said: "Forget it, I slept stupidly, I dreamed that I was still in Rui Ruhai's tomb before, and I didn't see you when I woke up, thinking you were ......."

Lu Ying stopped smiling, he raised his head and looked at Zhuo Yang for a moment, Zhuo Yang was gradually a little overwhelmed by him, and it was rare to take the initiative to look away. Lu Yingyi grabbed his hand very seriously and said, "Zhuoyang, don't worry, I said that I won't leave without telling you and I won't regret it." After thinking about it, he said, "Either add another one now, I won't leave you to die first, and you can't do it the other way around, you see I have jumped over the cliff with you, I am so affectionate!" Suddenly, he shouted, "Hey, Zhuoyang, you're blushing!"

Zhuo Yang coughed and said, "Don't make trouble, I found something." ”

Lu Ying accepted it as soon as she saw it, but she was actually afraid that it would make a big fuss or she wouldn't be able to eat and walk around, so she hurriedly said, "Uh-huh, what?"

Zhuo Yang handed the pieces of paper to Lu Ying to look at, Lu Ying looked at it for a while, and his face gradually became solemn, most of the stacks of paper were completely uninteresting letters, and there were two maps, the letters were finely creased, and the maps were marked, from the capital all the way to the Chenggu in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, and from the Chenggu zigzag, to a small town called Guixi not far from here.

"The letter was written in code, and it was put in a messenger and tied to the pigeon's leg to carry the message, so there were such creases. Lu Yingyi said, "Mixin, Shaanxi Chenggu...... Shaanxi Chenggu ...... Have you ever milled the king ring?"

Zhuo Yang nodded: "I only thought of such a thing when I checked and checked. ”

That's right, in the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, in order to frame the first assistant Xia Yan, the minister of power, Yan Song, who went from an official to the governor of the three sides, first instigated his subordinate Qiu Luan to frame Zeng Mo and put him in prison, and then dragged Xia Yan into the water. In that year, Zeng Mill was beheaded and died, and his wife and a pair of young sons were exiled, which was called the first unjust case in the history of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zeng Mill had a loyal subordinate named Wang Huan, he was ordered to leave his family to escort Zeng Mill's wife and a pair of young sons all the way to avoid pursuit, and slept in the open until the exile in Chenggu, Shaanxi, and then took care of the mother and son for 20 years...... The clues are finally halfway through.

Lu Yingyi said: "Could it be ...... Could it be that Lan Su and Rui Ruhai planned to use the means of Guò Cihang Zhenren's manifestation to stop Zeng Miao's execution?" "As we all know, Emperor Jiajing is obsessed with Taoism, and Cihang Zhenren, as a Taoist Jurchen, will definitely arouse Emperor Jiajing's vigilance if there is a vision.

"But they failed, and were disrupted by the White Lotus Sect's people. Zhuo Yang pondered and said, "But why did Lan Su steal the statue of Yu Cihang, is stealing the statue also part of the plan, does Lu Xiuwu know about this? I think there must be some things here that we don't know." ”

Lu Ying heard Zhuo Yang talk about the things of the year, but his mind was constantly thinking about other things, he compared Zhuo Yang's appearance with Lan Su in that painting one by one in his mind, the same resolute eyes, the same straight nose bridge, square jaw, not thin and not thick lips, but Lan Su will look more elegant, Zhuo Yang is much more masculine, Lu Ying looks more and more that Zhuo Yang may really be a descendant of the Lan family.

Zhuo Yang said: "This proves that our guess is right, Rui Ruhai did not immediately live in seclusion after retiring to the rivers and lakes, but went to fulfill Lan Su's unfulfilled last wish, helping Wang Huan escort Zeng Miao's wife and children to the penal colony, but Wang Huan stayed in Chenggu, and he ...... Xiao Lu?"

Lu Ying came back to his senses and said, "Well, what?" He was thinking about whether to tell Zhuo Yang about this inference, if Zhuo Yang knew that he might be the descendant of the Lan family......

Zhuo Yang said: "I think that after Rui Ruhai said goodbye to Wang Huan back then, he went all the way around China in order to escort the descendants of the Lan family to escape from danger, and finally arrived in Guixi. Speaking of this, Zhuo Yang's eyes drifted for a moment, as if he recalled a long memory, "Guixi...... I've been there, Rui Jiming took me there when I was ten years old. He thought for a while, seemed to have an understanding, turned his head to look at Lu Yingyi and said, "It's been a long time ago, and most of them can't be remembered." ”

In fact, there is still some memory, it was late, he was led by Rui Jiming on a secluded path, walked to the end, saw a small house, but the house was locked, looking in from the window, it was full of dust, there was no one left, and after going back, he found that the deer was also gone. From that day on, Zhuo Yang grew up rapidly.

Lu Yingyi said tentatively: "By the way, just now I accompanied Sister Wenxiu to sweep the graves of the Rui family's ancestors, and she told me that Bai Li left the army may have a mission. ”

Zhuo Yang raised his head: "Out on a mission?" he thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "So, I remembered a story I heard before. ”

"What's the story?"

Zhuo Yang said: "It was a veteran who sued me that he once found a problem with a cross-border car during the border anti-narcotics inspection, and it turned out that one of the drug dealers in the car was actually the squad leader when he had enlisted in the army. He said that his mind was in a mess at that time, so he didn't notice that the group of drug dealers had left a backup move, and as a result, the two sides fought hard, they were defeated, several people died, and he thought he was going to die, he hid in the woods, he was wounded, the bullets were gone, and the drug dealers were searching for him everywhere. ”

Lu Yingyi imagined the thrilling scene at that time, most of the drug dealers were outlaws, and because of the heavy sentences, they were all extremely ruthless, and they never left a living when they encountered anti-drug officers and soldiers.

"He was lucky, almost no one came to the hiding place, until finally, the squad leader came to him. They were all trained in the same army, and this veteran's jungle hiding skills were actually taught to him by the squad leader, so he thought that he was really going to finish this time, who would have thought that the squad leader was about to walk in front of him, but he didn't come over, just a few steps in front of him, turned around and left. ”

"Gone?" Lu Yingyi said, "If you see it but pretend not to see it, then that squad leader is an undercover agent." ”

Zhuo Yang shook his head: "I don't know." The veteran said that he was the only one left alive in their team of five at that time, and he also thought that the old squad leader might be undercover, but he hadn't seen this person since, so he didn't know if this person was undercover or not, or even if he was still alive. He said, "So Bai Lixun may or may not have a mission, one day he didn't return to the team, we don't know the truth of the matter, but he finally returned Xiaoqi to us, at least it didn't make a big mistake." ”

Lu Yingyi said: "Ah, the thing about Xiaoqi is actually like this. He told Zhuo Yang about Xiaoqi's illness being cured, Zhuo Yang listened, his expression changed slightly, Lu Ying knew that Zhuo Yang was very smart, if he could think of something, he thought Zhuo Yang should be able to think of it quickly.

After saying everything that should be said, Lu Ying stopped and looked at Zhuo Yang, Zhuo Yang pursed his lips and was thinking, the corners of his mouth drooped, his brows were slightly locked, and he looked like the man who didn't smile again. Lu Ying waited for a while, and saw that he didn't react, so he said tentatively, "Zhuoyang, you...... Have you ever wondered ......"

Zhuo Yang waved his hand to stop him at this time, then shook his head and said, "I don't have to think about it, I don't have to think about it, the reason why I am here today is because the roads I have traveled in the past have nothing to do with those people and things that have been around for a long time. ”

Lu Ying was slightly shocked, he thought that Zhuo Yang had already understood. The cave where he and the fawn were living at that time was very close to the place where they later walked out of the woods, which suggests that Zhuo Yang may not have been an accident when he was left there as a child. Maybe someone also kidnapped him and forced his relatives to take him to explore Rui Ruhai's tomb, but he folded in the sea of Shura where the red flowers bloomed or other institutions, since Lu Yingyi already knew that Bai Li had already entered Rui Ruhai's tomb, it would not be outrageous to speculate that Bai Li had already cleared some of the mechanisms for them before they entered. This is also enough to explain why those verses were not passed out until Rui Jiming and Bai Lixun's generation, because Rui Ruhai did not leave a word about this tomb for his family at all, he only left the trick of opening the tomb to the remnants of the Lan family who were brought to Guixi by him, and this is also closely related to what Bai Lixi said before that he found some inheritance patterns in Rui Ruhai's tomb.

Today's Xiaoqi, maybe it is yesterday's Zhuo Yang, the difference is that Zhuo Yang lost his relatives, but he met Xiaolu, and one person and one tiger survived until he was adopted by Rui Jiming!

One qiē may be a coincidence, or it may be the will of heaven, or it may be the inevitability after countless planned coincidences, Lu Xiuwu, the young head of the Lu family four hundred years ago, and Lan Su, the head of the Lan family, and Lu Yingyi, the descendant of the Lu family, and Zhuo Yang, the descendant of the Lan family, who met by chance in Qiangwei Villa four hundred years later...... Lu Ying thought of the painting, and thought that Lu Xiuwu could no longer bet on any darts in the second half of his life, and locked himself in his room every day and desperately painted one after another Yuci Hang's portraits, everyone thought that he was depressed because of the frustration of losing the world's first dart in the game, but no one knew the real pain in his heart...... He lost the love of his heart, this grief was heartbreaking but could not be vented to the outside world, and even a bystander could not let him know, he could only silently shut himself up, depressed thinking about that person, suffering alone, enduring alone, until finally he was only in his early forties, and his soul returned to Huangquan...... Perhaps, for Lu Xiuwu, death is liberation, and this death has come too late, too late!

Lu Ying thought about it, and couldn't help but exhale from his chest, he reached out and grabbed Zhuo Yang tightly, and repeated it again very solemnly: "Zhuo Yang, I won't leave you to die first, so don't leave me either, promise me." ”

Zhuo Yang looked at Lu Ying for a while, and finally nodded solemnly: "I promise you." He said, "Xiao Lu, I'm homesick, let's go home." ”

Lu Ying nodded: "Okay, let's go back." "He now has a home, a true lover and friends, and it's been the happiest time since he left home as a teenager!
