The kitchen of the cupola is an old-fashioned wood-burning earthen stove room, and it is really unrealistic to pull up a natural gas pipeline from such a high place, and even the electricity has only been connected in the past two years.

Li Danqing and others went to the kitchen to cook very consciously, but Zhang Dingxin, who was in charge of lighting the fire, lit the firewood.

A few people ran out of the smoke-filled kitchen, coughing loudly, and the rest were attracted by the movement in the kitchen.

Xin Yifan and Li Chengran were the last to come, and the fire was basically extinguished at this time, Xin Yifan looked at the students and all of them turned into big faces, and couldn't help but want to laugh, this scene reminded him of the embarrassment with Qiao Minshan, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Qiao Minshan, I don't know if he had a heart, Qiao Minshan's eyes also looked at Xin Yifan.

The two looked at each other.

was discovered by the careful Li Chengran, she couldn't help coughing, and Xin Yifan retracted his gaze with some embarrassment.

"Oh, by the way, did you just say that you saw the kitchen on fire?" Xin Yifan also asked with some curiosity.

Li Chengran snorted a little unhappily, and then said: "Yes, I saw the place where the fire was burning, but I didn't see the discharge behind." ”

Hearing Li Chengran's tone, Xin Yifan suddenly felt that his head was big, and he could only recite the three-character scripture silently in his heart, and kept drawing circles in his heart to scold the guy who set fire to the kitchen.

Fortunately, Qiao Minshan's phone rang at this time, which was a little embarrassing.

"Hehe, Chengran, tell me what's going on, did you really see it in advance? You tell me who did it!" Xin Yifan also hurriedly pulled Li Chengran and laughed.

"Zhang Dingxin, who else can smoke while lighting a fire. Li Chengran didn't really get angry with Xin Yifan, and pointed to Zhang Dingxin in the distance and said.

The kid was looking at the blackened kitchen, one hand still picking his nostrils.

"Zhang Dingxin!" Xin Yifan shouted, so frightened that Zhang Dingxin almost bleed his nose.

I saw Xin Yifan coming over angrily and yelling at Zhang Dingxin: "You put the fire, didn't you?"

"Ahh

"Shut up! You don't smoke in the kitchen, how can you ignite the cigarette?" Xin Yifan roared again.

Zhang Dingxin shrunk his neck, cringibly took the cigarette out of his purse and handed it to Xin Yifan.

"I see how you still smoke!" Xin Yifan said, took out one from the cigarette case, put it in his mouth, and yelled at Zhang Dingxin: "Fire!"

"Oh!" Zhang Dingxin flatteringly took out a lighter from his pocket, skillfully covered the flame with one hand, handed it over, and then said: "Sir, you are also good at this, you said it earlier, I still have one..."

Xin Yifan grabbed the lighter in Zhang Dingxin's hand and snorted coldly: "There is another one, let it go to my room." After speaking, he turned around and walked over to Li Chengran.

"Xin Yifan, when did you learn to smoke!" Li Chengran protested against Xin Yifan's second-hand smoke with a disgusted expression, and waved his hand, as if this would disperse the smoke wafting over.

"Oh, I haven't smoked it for a long time, it's not Zhang Dingxin's, hehe... When I was in the archaeological team before, it was a day when I smoked cigarettes. Xin Yifan flicked the cigarette ash, and then said to Li Chengran with a smile.

Li Chengran's scholar Ye Zilan pouted, glanced at Xin Yifan, and said: "Now I'm not in the archaeological team again, don't smoke, it's not good for your health." ”

Xin Yifan smiled, and had to quickly extinguish the smoke.

"Yifan!" Qiao Minshan's voice came from behind him, Xin Yifan turned his head, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong, Minshan!"

"I'm leaving, Team Du asked me to go back to the capital immediately. Qiao Minshan's face was lost, and her eyes were staring straight at Xin Yifan, without any scruples about Li Chengran.

"So urgent!" Xin Yifan asked with some puzzlement.

"Yes, Team Du said to let me go back immediately, I was very unhappy to hear it, I guess he went to the Religious Affairs Bureau to ask about something. Qiao Minshan pursed her mouth and said helplessly.

"Then I'll take you to Qianbei Station. Xin Yifan said without thinking about it.

"Forget it, it's going to take four hours. Qiao Minshan said with some hesitation.

"Yifan, you better send Min Shan. Li Chengran said to Xin Yifan, and there was no emotion on his face.

"Oh, okay, Na Minshan, you see when to go. Xin Yifan asked.

"Let's go now. Qiao Minshan said, and then said to Li Chengran: "Sister Chengran, I'll go first, take care." ”

Li Chengran nodded with a smile and did not speak.

Qiao Minshan went to say hello to Chen Xia and his wife, told him about leaving, saying that he had to go back on a mission, and Chen Xia couldn't keep it, and thanked Qiao Minshan again and again.

Xin Yifan drove the car, Qiao Minshan sat in the co-pilot, until he went down the mountain, Qiao Minshan said: "Yifan, I am a little envious of Li Chengran. ”

"Hmm, huh?" Xin Yifan, who was concentrating on driving, was a little surprised when he heard Qiao Minshan's inexplicable words.

"What I said is true, she can accompany you at all times, but I still have my own mission!" Qiao Minshan stretched her legs, adjusted the seat back again, put on a comfortable posture, and then said to Xin Yifan: "Yifan, after I go back this time, I plan to tell Team Du some things, what do you think?"

Xin Yifan was silent for a while, and said: "You decide for yourself, there are things that you want to hide, but you may not be able to hide them." ”

"Yifan, you really don't have to worry about anything, I've been with Team Du for four or five years, he is a very upright person, open-minded, and he is also very knowledgeable, what can and can't be said, he knows much better than me. Qiao Minshan said to Xin Yifan in a relaxed tone, Du Gang is her master, and Qiao Minshan trusts him very much from the bottom of her heart.

Xin Yifan felt a little sour when he heard this, "Okay, then you can tell your fair master everything, I don't have an opinion." ”

"Okay, then should I tell him that I like you?" Qiao Minshan turned her head and looked at Xin Yifan with a smile, her face full of playfulness.

Xin Yifan was a little speechless by her, so he simply didn't speak and concentrated on driving.

"Hmph, I'm more generous than Li Chengran, she doesn't know how happy she is when she hears that I'm leaving!" Qiao Minshan saw that Xin Yifan didn't speak, and deliberately stimulated him to say.

"Min Shan, it's actually better to leave, I really don't understand Taibai, it's safer for you to stay away from the land of right and wrong, really. Xin Yifan was silent for a long time before he said this.

"You tell a policeman to keep her out of danger, Xin Yifan, you're so funny! Don't say I'm a policeman, even if I'm not, you're in danger, will I still ignore it!" Qiao Minshan said with some dissatisfaction.

"That's not what I mean, Min Shan, the main thing is that Taibai is too dangerous, you and I have seen his strength, we can't fight at all, and now we don't know what his plans are, what plans are, I feel like a lamb stared at by a hunter, with nowhere to hide. Xin Yifan exhaled and said the uneasiness in his heart.

After Qiao Minshan listened to Xin Yifan's words, she didn't speak, how could she not know how terrible Taibai was, just take the kidnapping of Xin Yifan's parents this time, I don't know where to find Taibai now, let alone arrest him with evidence, even if she arrests him, Qiao Minshan really can't imagine how the police can catch Taibai.

"Yifan, I haven't been able to figure out what Taibai wants to do, he wants you to work for him, why do you have to kidnap your parents, I think he went directly to the Taoist Academy to find you, it should be the same as that night, who can stop him, why do you have to go to great lengths to lure you to the mountain city, and then guide Fanshan to come. Qiao Minshan also expressed the doubts in her heart.

Xin Yifan smiled bitterly: "This is also a question in my heart, have you noticed that he is like raising me and my family in captivity! This is also the reason why I think it is a good thing for you to leave!"

Xin Yifan's words seemed to wake up Qiao Minshan, as if he really said it to Xin Yifan, Taibai is now enclosing Xin Yifan and his parents, Li Chengran and Li Mo, and his six students in the cupola, so what is Taibai going to do?

Thinking of this, Qiao Minshan said with some uneasiness: "Yifan, it's really like you say this, and soon Lingheng Sanren will also go to the Celestial Temple, will he..."

"That's not it, if he wants to kill us, it's easy! I just don't know his purpose now, I can only take one step at a time, Min Shan, you still don't want to get involved in this matter after you go back." Xin Yifan said a little lonely, like a lamb to the slaughter, full of helplessness and resignation.

"No, Yifan, we can't do this, let's go back, let's run away quickly!" Qiao Minshan sat up suddenly, almost wanting to grab Xin Yifan.

"Where to escape, do you really think Taibai can't find me, so many people, where can I go? Forget it, Min Shan, I really want to see what this Taibai wants to do!" Xin Yifan said, in fact, he had another idea in his heart, he wanted to figure out how Taibai and Shu Jingyan had so many similar habits.

"I was still hesitating just now, whether to report everything here to Team Du when I go back, looking at the current situation, I have to tell Team Du everything as it is, Yifan, don't worry, Team Du will never care!" Qiao Minshan said seriously.

Xin Yifan was a little ignorant of how to answer Qiao Minshan, he just shook his head and said: "Taibai has not restricted my freedom, what do you say to Team Du?" Minshan, promise me not to come back, at least not to come back until you understand Taibai's purpose." Xin Yifan stopped the car, looked at Qiao Minshan's eyes, and said very solemnly.
