After Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan got off the shuttle, they did not go to Xiangcheng in the center, but slowly followed the place where the two of them had bypassed when they took the shuttle to Loucheng.

Xiangcheng is the center of Chenzhou, but Loucheng is slightly remote, just near the junction of Chenzhou and Qiaozhou. It's just that because of the abundance of Chixi grass and dew maple moss two kinds of medicinal materials here, the city has gradually formed outside the medicine field medicine garden, although the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion in Chenzhou is in Xiangcheng, Loucheng also has the largest branch, and the two medicinal herbs are more lively than Xiangcheng when they are mature every year.

It is not far from the maturity period of medicinal materials this year, and the people sent by various families to collect medicinal materials are estimated to come to Loucheng soon, so after approaching Loucheng, Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan are extremely low-key, and Xue Yuan will also disguise himself every day before going out.

Xue Yu's codex, Xue Yuan only secretly read it in a hurry, and soon after that, it was forcibly taken away by the Xue family, and most of it had been destroyed, so in addition to the obviously different record message, Xue Yuan did not have more information to analyze, so he had to follow the trajectory of Xue Yu's arrival in the building eight years ago.

Eight years ago, Xue Yu, as a child of the Xue family, came to Chenzhou Loucheng to buy medicinal materials, and temporarily lived in the Dongcheng Villa, which was in the best part of the building.

The east of the city has long been circled together, and many places in the city are different, built extraordinarily gorgeously, and there are no other houses nearby, which is very clean. There are several other gardens there, which belong to the major top families and sects in Kyushu today, the Xue family is one of the four major families in Kyushu, one of the four families of Feng Xue and Li Tang, and the other gardens are naturally also in it. Except for the miscellaneous servants who sprinkle and sweep and those who only go in to serve when these people come every year, ordinary people cannot enter that area at all.

Not to mention Xiao Luo, Xue Yuan took the opportunity to fake his death and leave the Xue family, and he can no longer use the identity of the Xue family, so naturally he can't enter another garden.

Therefore, the focus of the investigation between the two was on the civilian area not far from the east of the city.

There are many Chenzhou people who are somewhat shallow and cultivated here, some of them are sprinklers and sweepers in the Dongcheng Garden, and a large part of them are self-recommended when they live here for a long time and recruit people to do work in the Garden every year.

Although the children of these families and sects are arrogant, there are also some people who bully people with poor temperament, and they are not very easy to serve, and sometimes they may have to worry about their lives if they are unlucky, but the wages are high, and there are often "rewards", sometimes they are spirit stones with excellent color, and sometimes they are even low-level elixirs. These things are nothing to the children of the family sect, they can be appreciated at will, but for ordinary people and casual cultivators who are at the bottom, they are extremely rare good things, whether they are used for cultivation or sold for money, they are all extremely useful.

And some people will try their best to send their children to serve for a period of time during this time, looking forward to having good qualifications to enter the eyes of nobles, enter the door wall, and have a better future.

In any case, this area where civilians gather exists because of the Higashiro Garden, so it has become the place where you know the most about the Garden. Xue Yun and Xiao Luo observed here in a low-key manner for several days, carefully and cautiously screening the subjects who could be further contacted and questioned.

Dongcheng Tea House.

Xiao Luo sat at the table, his slender fingers rubbing and playing with the empty cups on the table, and looked at Xue Yuan, who was leaning against the window across the table and looking outside:

"There are less than two months left before maturity...... Are you thinking about the four families who are coming this year?"

Xue Yun was slightly stunned, and half-lowered his eyes: "...... Well. ”

Xiao Luo raised his hand and added a cup of hot tea to Xue Yun and himself: "Are you guessing the candidate from the Li family?"

Xue Yun raised his eyes to look at Xiao Luo, looking a little deflated: "...... Is it so easy to see what I'm thinking?"

Xiao Luo laughed, and his palm moved, if it weren't for the table, he would have rubbed it on top of her head at this time: "It's not easy, only my level can see it, don't worry." ”

Xue Yun pursed his lips, but he couldn't help but glance at him.

The smile on Xiao Luo's face deepened by two points, and he felt very relieved that Xue Yuan, who had been nervous, could rarely relax and reveal a little bit of his youthful nature.

But......

"After all, that Yanran of the Li family is still too young, and I am afraid that she will not come to Chenzhou this time. ”

It has been seen by Xiao Luo, and Xue Yun is no longer surprised after being pointed out by him at this time.

“...... I know. ”

Xiao Luo thought for a while: "Didn't you say that you had left clues for her? Now she should be able to guess that you are just faking your death?"

“...... Well. ”

"So be it. Xiao Luo leaned back in his chair: "It's not a good time now, even if it seems that the Xue family has believed in your death on the surface, we have to be cautious, not to mention that we are still investigating...... Later, when it is calmer, we will go to Cangzhou and let you meet her. ”

Xue Yun's fingers on the table moved slightly, and slowly clenched into fists.

“...... Xiao Luo...... You said...... Am I ...... Don't see her...... Is it better?"

"'Don't want to be involved' again?" Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Xue Yuan, you are really not cute like this." ”

"I ......"

"Okay, don't think nonsense, we can't go now, you can't trust the rest of the Li family, you can't do anything for the time being. If you really can't help but think about it, you might as well think about it...... After meeting in the future, how can you calm the anger of your good sister, it is more realistic. ”

Xue Yuan's body stiffened, and he subconsciously shrank his neck.

Xiao Luo saw her reaction and snorted lightly.

Li Yanran, mentioned in the words of the two, was born in the Li family of Cangzhou, one of the four major families, and is a friend of Xue Yun who grew up together since childhood, and the two are also somewhat related. Xue Yuan's mother, Li Jinglan, is the daughter of the Li family, the cousin of Li Yanran's father, and Li Yanran's cousin. Li Yanran's mother died early, her father devoted herself to practicing Shaoguan's only daughter, Xue's mother Li Jinglan, who was an aunt, often took Li Yanran to the Xue family in Mianzhou, Li Yanran stayed in the Xue family every year since she was a child, and grew up with Xue Yu, although she was not taken with Xue Yu to see Xue Yu's friends Xiao Ding and Xiao Luo, but she also knew that these two people existed, and she had heard a lot about Xiao Luo, another playmate, from Xue Yuan's mouth since she was a child.

Of course, Xiao Luo also heard Xue Yun mention a lot of things about Li Yanran.

Three years ago, Xue Yuan's father Xue Yu and mother Li Jinglan passed away one after another, and Li Yanran was also managed and failed to rush from Cangzhou Li's family to Mianzhou to see Xue Yuan, Li Yanran and Xue Yuan for the first time after that, and the last time Xue Yuan met before leaving the Xue family was half a year ago, Li Yanran easily got permission to rush from Cangzhou to Mianzhou to see Xue Yuan, who had fallen into the quagmire from the clouds, but there was no strength and means to help, and he was taken back to Cangzhou by the Li family after not staying long. It's just that Xue Yuan, who already had a plan at that time, left a lot of hints for Li Yanran, and asked her to open Xue Yun after hearing some "news", and sealed a layer of forbidden and destroyed after reading it with spiritual power.

Compared with Xiao Luo, although Li Yanran guessed what she wanted to do because she understood Xue Yuan, she was bound to the family and was not free. I was already guilty because I couldn't come in time three years ago, and I was anxious because of my powerlessness, and I met Xue Yuan's "I don't want to be involved" again......

Just as Xue Yun was thinking about Li Yanran's possible reaction following Xiao Luo's words, and when he was beating the drum in his heart, there was a cheering voice from the lower floor of the teahouse.

The two turned their heads to look, and saw that on the platform erected in the hall on the first floor, there was already an old man with a white beard and a ruddy face, which looked very energetic.

"Uncle Yu is here!"

The people in the entire teahouse were refreshed after the old man took the stage, and their attention was focused on the stage.

Even Xue Yuan, who has always had something in his heart, was attracted without exception.

Uncle Yu is an old man who lives alone in the civilian area in the east of the building, and has no relatives and children, but he is kind and gets along very well with his neighbors. Uncle Yu has a small asset, and it seems that there is no need to spend money on cultivation materials for higher cultivation pursuits, and it is enough to support himself alone, but he will often come to the teahouse to tell people some stories when he is bored for a long time, and he has the right to be a storyteller. Some of the stories he tells are from books, some are stories left by people who come and go, and some are small anecdotes in the market, but no matter what, he can tell them in a fascinating way. In addition, Uncle Yu sometimes comments on some things that happened in Kyushu, excavates and analyzes some small details that have been ignored before, and in addition to listening to books, there are also people who come to ask Uncle Yu for news.

In fact, this Uncle Yu is also one of the key observation objects of Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan.

Downstairs, Uncle Yu's voice sounded, and all other movements were silenced.

Today, Uncle Yu didn't talk about any major events in Kyushu, sectarian disputes, or neighborhood anecdotes, but a story about lovers who went through hardships but failed to become married. The story is very simple, two men and women who also carry family feuds understand each other and support each other all the way, and after finally getting revenge, the man is victimized by the adulterer, and the woman is nowhere to be found, and their story is gradually unknown.

Such a simple story became rich in Yu Bo's mouth and became quite moving.

Many people who listened to the book, including Xue Yuan, were a little immersed in it.

And Xiao Luo ......

After the story was told, Yu Bo arched his hand to the stage and got up to leave, went out of the teahouse and returned to his residence, and chatted with a few acquaintances on the way, saying that he would come back to tell some interesting stories in two days.

Xiao Luo pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and looked at Xue Yuan:

"Let's go, let's ...... Go and pay a visit to this Uncle Yu. ”

Xue Yun raised his eyes and looked over, a little surprised: "You have already decided to choose Uncle Yu......?"

Xiao Luo stood up, raised his hand and rubbed the top of Xue Yuan's head, who had not yet gotten up: "I think this Uncle Yu should know a lot of things, maybe ...... After looking for him, we don't have to look for anyone else. ”

Xue Yun pushed Xiao Luo's hand away and stood up, exhaling: "If that's the case...... Even if it's a bit of a risk, it's worth it. ”
