After Bai Shan stayed in Mu Xian Yuan for a while, he ordered someone to light a lantern to go back to the house, and Bai Yang also carried a lantern and sent Bai Shan far away, in fact, the road outside is roughly visible, because there is a fifteen moon, but due to the stacking of houses, some corner places are dark because the moonlight is blocked by the corner of the house. Bai Yang saw that Bai Shan had already returned to Baifu under the protection of Zou Xiantao and others, so he turned around.

Just as he was about to walk back to the gate of Mu Xianyuan, he stopped and stayed for a while, wanting to take advantage of the silence of the night and wander around by himself for a while. He extinguished the light in the lantern, and by the gift of the bright moonlight, he walked on the road paved with a light veil of white light, revealing the coolness of the night, no one was noisy, and his heart was infected by the environment and became quiet, the thoughts of the mind were the most textured, and as long as these lines were found, the logic would gradually become clear and organized. He walked while thinking, but he was not walking alone, and now he was following An Ran and Mi Yao, who seemed to be very calm, so there were three shadows imprinted on the silent road, moving aimlessly on the road.

Along the Muxian Courtyard to the north, there is an intersection, and Poplar is now continuing to walk at the intersection, and I don't know when he has been at the intersection to the west stone road. A hundred meters to the west, there are several pharmacies next to each other, and there is a path between the pharmacies that stretches to the north.

Poplar looked at the path, and although he had seen it when he passed by the drugstore here, he had never walked it. This path is only allowed to be crossed by one person, and the two sides are surrounded by high walls made of earth and stone, and the direction of the moonlight at this time is the main path between the two walls, so the two high walls do not block the moonlight. Although Poplar had endless conjectures in his mind, after all, he walked to the path, and his curiosity stopped him, and he was thinking in his heart whether to take advantage of this moonlight to go to the path.

Continue to follow the path, and a door will appear at a certain distance between the two walls on the side of the road, similar to the door on the side of the deep alley of the alley, which connects multiple households, and the candlelight shines through the crack in the door. But at this moment, suddenly a beam of divergent bright light flashed from a doorway, and when Poplar looked at it, he saw that the door was open, so Poplar took a few steps back, and heard an old woman's voice coming: "Wait, are you going back?" ”

Another woman's voice replied, "Well, I'll go back and say goodbye and come back, otherwise I'm afraid it will be inappropriate." ”

"Didn't he let you go? Why do you want to go back, it's almost midnight, so don't bother. ”

"If you don't say a word and leave, wouldn't it make people suspicious,"

Poplar was just outside the door when he heard the voices of two women, one of whom was very familiar. The door was diagonally in front of him, but he did not see a figure coming out of the open door, and he approached the door suspiciously, and with a casual glance, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Through the door, I saw a figure talking to a half-aged woman, who was Swallow, and she had her back to the door, so that she could not see a pair of eyes looking at her back outside the door. Poplar wanted to knock on the door and go in to disturb him, but he dispelled the idea because a word reached his ears, and instead retreated outside the door wall and continued to listen to the conversation inside.

"Pack up your things tonight and leave tomorrow, wouldn't it be a hundred, and why bother looking around, when you decided to take that step, there was no room to turn back." The voice was hoarse, and he coughed twice after speaking, sounding like the voice of an elderly woman.

The swallow's voice came: "But..."

"He is urging you to leave now, what kind of feelings are you talking about, this is good, it is exactly what I want, so that you will not be able to talk about leaving Mu Xian Courtyard and be entangled in detours."

Hearing this, the "he" in the conversation between the two must be himself, and he didn't want to go in and disturb him, and after listening for a while, he was afraid that Yanzi would be embarrassed to see him when he went out, so he immediately left and walked towards the end of the deep path.

Keep walking, the end of the road came to the Beishi Lane Street, and it is an intersection, but this intersection here is unusual, it is the most prosperous place in this radius of 100 miles, and there are restaurants and teahouses standing next to each other.

Poplar walked to the front of the non-drunk building, looked at the non-drunk building and lit the lantern, the window was full of light, faintly heard a few noises, it seems that the advantage of the location is that it has a unique advantage, there is a murder here during the day, which makes people panic, and at night they open the door as usual and continue to do business, people also love to join in this lively, and they are happy to come here.

But think about it, not to mention the death of a person, the last time the plague almost killed thousands of people in the streets, people can still live a light breeze after they are well, just care about the momentary sorrow and happiness in front of them, can not be buffered for too long, the poplar is surging in his heart, even if he does not break the embankment, he must check the valve tightly, he actually has a kind of tyrannical idea in his heart that wants to reverse the situation flashed, seeing that the bright moon was in the sky, he wandered around for a while, and then slowly returned to Mu Xianyuan.

Back at Muxian Courtyard, Vanilla was sitting at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Poplar to come back.

"Why are you sitting here, so late, you don't have to go in to rest, you don't have to sit here as a door god." After Poplar saw Vanilla, he spoke, and after speaking, he passed by Vanilla and entered the courtyard.

Vanilla wiped her eyes, stood up and said, "Young Master Bai, you're back, I have something to look for you, but I can't find it for a while, guess you haven't come back yet, so I'm waiting here for you to come back and tell you." ”

"What?"

"Yanzi, she has already left, I guess she has returned to her hometown."

"Hometown?" Bai Yang asked in wonder, because since the time the swallow came to the Mu Xian Courtyard, he had heard that the Hu housekeeper of the Bai Mansion had said that the Yan and the herb had no relatives because of the famine, and later took refuge in the Bai Mansion, and had never heard of a hometown.

"Her hometown is in Meijing County, I guess she can only go back to Meijing if she leaves here now."

"How do you know she wants to go back to Meijing?" Poplar Fox questioned Vanilla, in fact, although he didn't want to listen to Vanilla's clever words anymore, he actually drove away the swallow because of the vanilla, so he felt guilty about the swallow.

"She told me, and I'm also Meijing, we are fellow villagers, I originally wanted to find her to go with her, who knew that when you asked us to leave Mu Xianyuan in the afternoon, she came back and began to pack her things, and she didn't say anything, and I couldn't find her in a blink of an eye."

"Oh," said Poplar, who didn't say much, took two steps, stopped talking, thought for a moment, but still didn't say anything, and walked towards his room.

The next morning, after some washing, Bai Yang decided to go to Bai Mansion to find his father Bai Shan to completely intervene in the murder case, but heard that the spies of Bai Mansion reported that the Hanging River Yamen had opened an interrogation early in the morning, and heard that the city lord Murong Bao had also inquired about the matter and was intervening in the matter. Bai Yang frowned, thinking that Murong Bao had also intervened in this case, according to the previous practice, as long as it was Murong Bao's involvement in the case, Dong Sishu's anxious character would definitely quickly conclude the case and report it to the court, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and suddenly said: "Not good!" So he left in a hurry, and as he ran, he instructed the spies to immediately inform Bai Shan to rush to the Hanging River Yamen, and he wanted to go immediately to check the situation of the Hanging River Yamen.
