Chapter 30: Ten Years of White Bones (11)

The grass teased her nose, and Mingyue sneezed a real sneeze, and was awakened by herself. Her first instinct was that her leg hurt so much that it felt like she had rolled over and over on the rocky floor several times. After waking up, I was confused for a moment, and then I remembered that I had indeed been struck by the stone several times. But there was a wide palm that kept the back of her head in place, protecting her so firmly that it hurt nothing but her legs.

She suddenly remembered, "My lord? ”

"Ahem." The others coughed heavily, as if they were noisy by her sudden voice.

Mingyue sat up and pinched the middle of the crowd, pinching out a deep crescent moon, and Su Yunkai woke up completely. As soon as he woke up, he noticed that someone was touching him. He endured it for a while before he said, "I didn't hurt anything, so I don't need to look at it." ”

"I've fallen my legs, how can you be okay."

Touching him again will really be fine. Su Yunkai grabbed her wrist and sat up slowly, her back seemed to have been punched more than a dozen times, it seemed to be really painful, he looked at her again, "Is your leg hurt?" Is it heavy? ”

"It's not heavy." Mingyue still had to pinch his muscles and bones, but his hands were grabbed and he couldn't move. After staring at her for a while, she reacted and withdrew her hand, "You wait." ”

Su Yunkai saw her standing up as if she was leaving, and subconsciously grabbed her hand, "It's wild here, don't walk around." ”

The wide palm is warm, and the words are even warmer, but the injury on his arm is very frightening to Mingyue, "I won't go far, your hand is bleeding, you have to apply medicine immediately, you cover it first, and I will be back soon." It's spring, and you should be able to find wormwood. She listened to it again, and there was the sound of villagers looking for someone from above, and it was estimated that it would not be long before she arrived here.

Su Yunkai wanted to stand up, but he was injured just now, and if he moved again, he would bleed more, so he watched her walk forward, and when he entered the grass, he could still see the apricot color.

Mingyue really didn't want to go far, but the herbs were ahead, and she took two more steps into the depths, and now Su Yunkai couldn't see her.

"Mingyue?"

"I'm here."

There was no one to be seen, and the sound was vaguely like an echo, and the dense mountains and forests were full of unknown dangers. Su Yunkai was really not at ease, so he reluctantly stood up and walked over there with his arms covered.

Before he could get into the tall and lush grass, he saw Mingyue come out and meet her head-on, which startled her. She covered her heart and said nervously, "I'm scared to death, a bunch of bats hanging upside down, it's black, I thought I had met a monster." ”

"Bats?" Su Yunkai frowned, pulled her to his side, and looked up at the front, "Isn't the bat in the cave?" ”

"There seems to be a cave in front of it, but the entrance to the cave is full of branches, blocking it. I saw wormwood there, so I touched it, and whoever wanted to see a bat. ”

Su Yun was happily puzzled, he didn't care about the pain, and his steps were faster. It didn't take long to arrive at the place where Mingyue ran out just now, and there were indeed many branches on the ground, which seemed to have been pulled aside by Mingyue when she entered. He crouched down to check the broken branches, and his expression was no longer right, "These branches have just been cut off and placed here." When we looked over it just now, it was all green, and we wouldn't have noticed it. But if you remove all the branches, the brown rock will stand out a little more. ”

Mingyue took two steps back and looked forward. The entrance to the cave was a man tall and a foot wide, but because of the grass obstructing the view, and the moss climbing on the rocks, it was not clear to distinguish, "Actually, I still can't see clearly, even if there are no branches in the way, I will think it is an ordinary stone." ”

Su Yunkai turned his head to look at her, "But as a thief-minded, you may think that this place will be easy to be discovered, so you just ran to block the entrance of the cave." ”

"How do you know the man just came?"

"Where the branches are broken, there is still sap flowing out."

Mingyue noticed that when she leaned over and looked, there was indeed juice bubbling out of the place where the branch was broken, and it was obvious that it had just been cut off, "Why are you hiding this cave?" ”

Su Yunkai searched in his arms, found the fire fold, tore his clothes and tied them to the branches to make a simple torch. Seeing Mingyue, she felt strange, "Do you carry a fire fold with you?" ”

"Well, just in case."

Mingyue suddenly said, "Since you joined the office, you have been investigating the criminal department of Dali Temple, which is a habit you developed at that time." ”

"It's not." Su Yunkai thought for a while, "I will carry it with me when I am very young." ”

"......" Mingyue blinked, and said as she walked in with him, "How gloomy was your childhood?" ”

Su Yun smiled, "Elder influence." ”

Mingyue smiled, "Actually, this habit is quite good, and it won't come in handy now." ”

The two talked and entered the cave, and Mingyue was less uneasy because she didn't know the way forward. It's just that the bats in the cave saw the fire, and they were smoked by the heat, and they hissed and fled out.

"Is this a dead end? Could it be that someone is hiding something in it? ”

"This cave is open."

Mingyue asked curiously, "How do you know?" Can you see ahead? ”

Su Yunkai said, "The fire on the torch will fall backwards, indicating that there is a wind blowing in the face, and only a live cave can have a convective wind." ”

"I see."

Su Yunkai used torches to shine around, this cave doesn't know how long it took to form, but there should be very few people coming, otherwise there would not be so much bat dung piled up on the ground. Although it was windy, the smell inside the cave was not good.

After walking for a long time, the light of the torch became weaker and weaker, and it was almost impossible to support it. There is nothing to burn in the cave, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to see the road under my feet by relying on the little light of the fire.

"Tick, answer."

It seems that I walked to the place where the spring water flowed, and there were droplets of water dripping down on the way. It hit the torch right on it, and the torch sizzled. Su Yunkai raised the torch to take care of it, and there were droplets of water dripping above his head. Perhaps the rain was concentrated in spring, so there were water droplets in places that did not run on weekdays, just because he saw that the moss had not been removed from the places where the water droplets had condensed, and the dripping water was a little dirty. If there is water all year round, the water will be clean.

At this pause, both of them felt that the wind was stronger, which meant that they were not far from the exit.

The two of them withdrew their gaze and continued walking.

Sure enough, after walking only five feet of the road, I saw a glimmer of light. It's just that there's still something blocking the exit, and this time it's rocks.

Su Yunkai pushed the stone with his body, thinking that it would be very difficult, who wanted to use his strength three or four times, only to feel that his body moved forward, and he almost rolled out with the stone.

It was still daylight, and the sun was shining in, so that the two people who had been walking in the cave for a quarter of an hour could not adapt to it for a moment, and their eyes were tingling. When I stretched out my hand to block it, I felt a big stone rolling down my ears. Looking through the cracks of my fingers, I saw that there was a steep and dangerous ground in front of me, and a mountain forest scenery.

But looking into the distance, Su Yunkai paused.

It was high on the mountain, with a wide view, and it was three miles away, full of villages. The distance is too far to see the appearance of the village, but you can see that the village is very large, and even the mountain road opposite can be faintly distinguished.

Mingyue stretched out her legs and tried the steep place, feeling that she could still go down if she was careful. Seeing Su Yunkai looking at it carefully, he whispered, "What's wrong?" ”

"That mountain road is where we passed when we came to the palace." He suddenly remembered something, "At that time, it took us three days to come down from the mountain road to the palace, but in fact it was not far away, just because there were mountains here, and we had to go around one mountain after another, and it took so long. ”

Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "Yes, if there is a bandit in Yangjia Village, every day from this shortcut to the opposite mountain road to rob and come back, there is no time to be there." ”

When Su Yunkai heard this, he looked down at her and smiled slightly, "This analogy is better." I think...... What Yang Baijia saw that day was also this cave. ”

"Are you a god again?"

"No, look at both sides."

The bright moon probe looked to the left first, and couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately looked to the right, already surprised.

-- On the left and right sides of the exit of this cave, there are dense commercial land!

Shang Lu has not yet borne fruit, but Mingyue also recognizes its branches. The wild fruit that Yang Baijia picked for everyone on June 15 ten years ago was Shanglu.

She suddenly became uneasy, "You guess...... The murderer did something unspeakable with this shortcut, and then was discovered by Yang Baijia, who was picking the fruit, so he killed him? But Yang Baijia is timid, even I am afraid of such a dark cave, how can he dare to come in? ”

"Do you remember, Yang Qianli told us just now that Yang Baijia said that he caught a lot of rabbits and came back? I think he may have found a rabbit on the mountain, and then went into the cave in order to catch the rabbit, but when he got to the bottom of the cave, he didn't catch the rabbit, but he saw a mountain full of Shanglu fruits. ”

Mingyue thought silently, as if this explanation could be established.

The more Su Yunkai thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out. The relaxed look in his eyes has gradually disappeared along the way, what is the murderer in such a hurry to hide this cave? Is it really to go and come back as a bandit?

"Let's go back first, lest Yang Qianli and they can't find anyone. After going down the mountain, go directly back to the palace. ”

A few days ago, the people of the government surrounded the grove, and now more officers and soldiers have come to Yangjia Village to guard a cave on the mountain. As soon as the cave appeared, the place connected was still Mojia Village, which was thought to be three days away, which made the villagers feel strange and incredible at the same time, and they had not found it for so many years. If it weren't for the bright moon girl who inadvertently fell into it, I am afraid that that place would be hidden for a lifetime.

But...... What are you doing with so many officers and soldiers?

As soon as Mingyue's injury was bandaged, she went to the study to find Su Yunkai. She knew that at this time, he would definitely not lie down in the room, not in the yamen, or in the inner ya's study.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the corridor, she saw a servant coming out of the house, his steps hurried, and he didn't stop to say hello.

Bai Shui happened to come out too, and when he saw her, he glanced at her lap and frowned, "Go back and rest." ”

Mingyue didn't answer, and asked, "Is there progress in the case?" ”

"Well, the lord has already sent someone to Yangjia Village, now let me go to Mojia Village to find someone to question."

Mojia Village? Mingyue thought about it, wasn't that the small village they saw outside the cave? She said, "Then you can go quickly." ”

Bai Shui read the letter that Su Yunkai had opened to him at noon, and had some questions to ask, but now that the investigation was important, he suppressed the words and was busy going to Mojia Village. As soon as I turned the corridor, I almost hit someone, and when I looked up, I paused, and immediately said with a straight face, "Don't get in the way." ”

Qin Fang originally wanted to dodge, but he was not happy when she was fierce, straightened his waist and looked at her with low eyebrows, and said word for word, "Partial, no." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a bear paw slammed into him, instantly fanning him aside, and the force was so great that it almost didn't embed him in the wall!
