Ye Liyan and Jin Gongzi left Huai'an City, and it only took three days to take the mountain road to the Valley of the Medicine King.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, all the people are riding horses, and the little geese are not good at riding, and they have been left behind many times.

"It's a hassle to walk with a woman." The little guy next to Jin Gongzi complained in a low voice.

Jin Gongzi didn't say a word, but Ye Bing, who was riding by on the side, glanced at him obliquely, and the little guy was frightened by her murderous eyes, and almost fell off the horse.

Jin Gongzi laughed.

The little guy had a bitter face and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

The night left the mourning and urged the horse to walk in front of the team, climbing high and looking into the distance.

Yaowang Valley is halfway up the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like a piece of emerald jade embedded in the mountain.

Exotic flowers and plants in the valley, springs and streams.

The valley is surrounded by strange rocks and narrow mountain paths, and there is only one path leading to the valley.

Ye Liyan reined in the horses, and his brow couldn't help but furrow.

"Senior brother, you wait for me......" Xiao Yan panted and urged the horse to catch up, "Senior brother, what are you looking at?" ”

Ye Liyu stared down the mountain for a long time, silent for a long time.

Jin Gongzi also came over at this time, looked at Ye Li's line of sight for a while, and said in a low voice: "But what did you find wrong?" ”

"It's too quiet."

"Huh?" Jin Gongzi was stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and raised his voice to stop the team.

Xiao Yan was anxious, "Senior brother, aren't you going to go into the valley to save your master?" ”

Ye Liyan ignored Xiao Yan's anxiety, stood there and watched for a while, and then turned his head, "We're late." ”

"What?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You...... How did you know you were late? ”

Ye Li's eyes were cold, "Xiao Yan, to be honest, didn't you really see Jiang Siyin?" ”

Xiao Yan's lips twitched twice, "No...... No. ”

Ye Li's eyes dimmed as he looked at the little goose.

Seeing this, Jin Gongzi whispered: "Isn't she your junior sister, don't you believe her?" ”

The night left the death slowly.

Xiao Yan was not far from them, she heard Jin Gongzi's words clearly just now, and when she saw Ye Liyan nodding, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

"Senior brother, I don't know why you became like this, we grew up together, and the person I trust the most is you, but since you left the valley, it's like a different person, I don't know what I did badly, so you don't even believe me."

The corners of Ye Li's lips twitched slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile: "If you tell the truth, I will believe you." ”

Xiao Yanhuodi's eyes widened, "I really didn't lie to Senior Brother!" ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Ye Liyan, and he urged the horse to turn around and go down the mountain.

The crowd followed.

After entering the Medicine King Valley, they didn't even see half a figure along the way, until they reached the hinterland of the valley, and the pungent smell of burning firewood suddenly wafted in the air.

Ye Liyan raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, "Beware of poison." ”

Before coming, Shopkeeper Xu prepared a lot of medicine for them, and each of them took out a purse containing the antidote from their waists and stuffed one into their mouths.

Ye Liyan casually threw one to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and then took it and ate it.

Further on, the terrain gradually rises and it is impossible to ride a horse.

So they abandoned their horses and hiked up the stone steps that circled through the mountains.

As the smell of burning firewood became stronger, people saw many of the thatched huts in the valley turning to ashes, leaving only black char residue on the ground, emitting thick smoke.

The little goose stumbled after Ye Li, and almost stepped on the corner of his skirt several times and fell to the ground.

She reached out and wanted to pull the corner of Ye Li's clothes, but when she saw the other party's cold side face, her hand trembled and retracted.

The expression on Ye Liyan's face was really terrifying, she had never seen her senior brother like this......

"Why is there no one here?" Jin Gongzi said strangely.

"You'll see it after here." Ye Liyan said in a deep voice, and his tone was like an ice ballast, and people felt a chill in their hearts when they heard it.

Ascending the stone steps of the mountain, the entire Medicine King Valley Huo Ran appeared in front of everyone.

The scenery of the mountains and rivers is beautiful, and the tall library on the cliff can be faintly seen in the distance, and it is like a fairyland in the mist.

However, at this moment, people have no intention of admiring this peerless beauty, and everyone's eyes fall on the stream in the valley.

The clear stream, meandering and flowing, traverses the entire Yaowang Valley.

Ye Lixian was all too familiar with all this, and as a child he had jumped over the rocks between the streams countless times to collect medicine in the woods on the other side.

He is always followed by two small tails: Jiang Siyin and Xiaoyan.

At that time, the water of the stream was as clear as a silver ribbon.

By this time, the water had turned completely red.

Yin Hong's water flow was blocked by the corpses lying prone in the stream, forming a small blood-colored lake.

The overflowing lake water has a fishy smell and flows slowly.

Xiao Yan said "ah", his legs and feet were weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

Ye Liyan stood there, staring fixedly at everything in front of him.

Jin Gongzi sighed: "Sure enough, it's late." ”

The crowd looked around and found nothing unusual, so they gathered at the stream.

Ye Liyan crouched on the shore, examining the body of a dead medicine boy.

Jin Gongzi leaned over, "How?" ”

"Dozens of knives in the body, blood loss and death." Ye Li's face was expressionless, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, "Everyone else is like that." ”

The medicine children in the Medicine King Valley are all children of homeless poor families, and the oldest is only twelve or thirteen.

Jin Gongzi looked at the corpses in the water and shook his head.

If it is said that it is murder, it is just a knife to go down, these medicine children are still half-old children, but they are not directly hacked to death by the knife, but die of excessive blood loss.

"It's really poisonous." Jin Gongzi sighed.

Ye Bing led his men to search everywhere, but in the end they found nothing.

The corpses in the water were fished up from the water, lined up on the shore, and inspected one by one.

Ye Bing and the others quietly stood aside.

Ye Lixian was about to stand up after examining the corpse, when suddenly he saw a piece of cloth peeking out of the finger of a dead medicine boy.

A very small one, with dark bluegrass stripes.

Ye Liyan took the small strip of cloth out of the dead medicine boy's hand.

Ye Bing found it and leaned over, "What is this?" ”

Ye Liqi held up the piece of cloth, and through the sunlight, the dark lines of bluegrass on the cloth were clearly recognizable.

Ye Li's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

The medicine boy was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and there were not many people who could wear such good materials in the Medicine King Valley.

In addition to Xiao Yan, only the Medicine King himself, as well as him and Jiang Siyin, have this privilege to wear clothes made of this material.

The pattern of the blue grass is the symbol of the Valley of the Medicine King, but there is no such pattern on the clothes of the night left, and he has always been used to wearing purple clothes.

So the only possible ......

The night is gone, and his breathing is not noticeably short.

At this moment, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Hey, why is Miss Xiaoyan gone, she was still here just now?" ”
