A Xiǎo-type wind and snow, all traces of all traces were covered, the white wilderness, extending in all directions, there was no directional road at all, naturally I didn't know, where to search, a group of guards scattered in all directions, after a long time, all returned, nothing was found, Yan Lide's body and mind were cold, his hands and feet were weak, he only felt that his eyes were black, the sky was spinning, and he fell down.

Before the "proprietor ......" fainted, Yan Lide vaguely saw the guards coming, constantly calling, barely refreshing, wanting to say something, and then his head cracked, and he didn't know anything.

"Brother."

Just when the guards were at a loss, Yan Liben arrived with the follow-up people, worried, and found that Yan Lide had fainted and was unconscious, so he was even more anxious and rushed over, supporting Yan Lide, and kept calling, and at the same time said sharply: "What's going on?" ”

"The clue is broken, and the proprietor is overly worried, so ......," the guard explained in a low voice.

"It's broken." Yan Liben was frightened, looked around the surrounding environment, and found that everyone unknowingly, followed the traces to the wilderness, it seemed that it had just snowed, the air was cold, the snow was all over the ground, covered with grass and trees, and naturally included the whereabouts of the thief, whether the thief could be found or not, Yan Liben didn't care very much, the important thing was that Yan Wan'er couldn't be lost.

"Go find it." Yan Liben said urgently, very out of shape.

"Found it." The guard bowed his head and said, "Nothing has been found." ”

Yan Liben was stunned, desperate in his heart, and with a bit of luck, he said loudly: "If you can't find it, then continue to look for it, search carefully, and find any clues until I find it, and there will be a lot of rewards." ”

A group of guards hurriedly answered and dispersed in a hurry.

At this time, Yan Lide also woke up faintly and grabbed Yan Liben's arm, and said in a weak voice: "Liben, how is Wan'er?" ”

"It's okay, Wan'er is fine." Yan Liben hurriedly comforted: "Brother, don't worry, we will be able to find her." ”

Gravity pinched his forehead, and with Yan Liben's support, Yan Lide slowly stood firm, looked blankly at the Quartet, his heart was full of grief, his face was blue, then turned red, and finally turned into a gray face, crying sadly: "Wan'er ......"

"Brother, it's okay, Wan'er must be fine." Yan Liben reluctantly endured, did not cry, and continued to comfort.

Yan Lide looked sad and muttered: "Along the way, except for those who went back to report the news, a total of nine people died, and Wan'er's shinv was also among them......

"But there is no Wan'er, which means that she is fine." A thought flashed through him, and Yan Liben hurriedly said: "By the way, the thieves are looting, it's just asking for money, it's a big deal, it's to kidnap Wan'er and ask us for ransom." ”

"Really." Yan Lide said in a trembling voice, thinking that this might be xing, not nothing.

"Really, it must be true." Yan Liben said repeatedly, also a little self-comforting.

The search work, there is not much progress, the wind and snow have wiped out the traces, such a cold weather, there are relatively few people traveling, no one has seen the trace of the thief, there is no clue, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

One hour, two hours, three hours, the mood changed from hope to despair, and in the end, he was numb, but Yan Lide did not give up, and kept yelling: "Find, keep looking, you must find Wan'er." ”

A group of guards, with a weak agreement, spit out the mist, barely cheered up, and slowly searched for it, until dusk, the sky has dimmed, and if they don't return to the city, they will spend the night in the barren mountains tonight.

Now is different from the future generations, in the barren mountains and wilderness, there are often poisonous snakes and beasts, and they came in a hurry, not even bringing dry food, after searching for most of the day, everyone was hungry and tired, exhausted, and could no longer walk, but they didn't dare to complain to Yan Lide, so they had to look at Yan Liben with blank eyes, hoping that he could help say something.

Living up to expectations, Yan Liben raised his head and looked at the sky, hesitated, walked to Yan Lide's side, and said in a loud voice: "Brother, if you don't return to the city again, I'm afraid it will be a curfew......"

"I can't find Wan'er, I won't go back." Yan Lide said that in just a few hours, he seemed to have aged a few years, his manes were stained with some frost and snow, and his eyes were dull, like an old man in his last years.

"Brother, it's not a way to look for it like this." Yan Liben said: "It's better to go back to the city, notify the officials, and let them send officials to help search...... Or, those thieves have already posted in the house and extorted money......"

Obviously, Yan Lide was moved by this sentence, thought about it for a moment, looked at the dim sky, and nodded slightly.

No one cheered, everyone hung their heads, identified the direction, slowly walked towards Chang'an City, walked a few steps, and a guard stepped forward and asked softly: "Proprietor, xiǎo five them...... What should I do? ”

"The pack horses, all of them will be brought back and buried thickly, and their families will be supported by the Yan family in the future." Yan Lide said bitterly.

The guards hurriedly responded, feeling somewhat relieved, at least the proprietor is not a merciful person, as long as there are no worries, everyone is naturally not afraid of selling their lives......

Returning along the way, collecting the body of the murdered servant Shinv, when he saw the body of the thief, a guard couldn't help but how, waved his horsewhip and chouled it, hitting the nearby grass and trees, not biased, but deliberate, after all, in ancient times, the dead were great, and the act of digging up the grave and whipping the corpse was shameful to the world, and the guards did not have the courage to dare to risk the condemnation of the world and do this kind of thing.

"Lao Lu, don't be angry." One of the guards snorted: "Don't pay attention to it, just let him be here in the wilderness of violent corpses, and there is no place to bury him, and he is destined to be just a lonely wild ghost." ”

"That's right, when jackals, snakes and insects come out at night, they must be dead and deserve to go to hell." Someone agreed, and cursed.

Everyone echoed it, but they couldn't find a living thief, so they had to take the dead out of anger.

Yan Lide suddenly said, "Bring ......"

"What?" The guards didn't hear clearly.

"Take the thief's corpse with you." Yan Lide said coldly, his eyes burning with flames.

A young man's guard didn't understand, and said urgently: "Boss, why, they are ......"

"Xiǎozi, shut up, listen to the owner's orders." An elderly guard shouted, saying nothing, and carried the thief's body on horseback, while the others came to help.

Yan Lide nodded lightly, his eyes were red, and he continued to go back along the way, waiting for him to walk a few steps away, and the older guard said softly: "Hun Xiǎozi, you are not clever at all, don't be blinded by anger, these thieves' corpses are of great use, maybe you can find some clues from them." ”

The young guard suddenly realized, tilted his head, and saw the familiar faces on horseback, and then he was sad, sad and indignant, gritted his teeth, and said: "Don't let me catch you ......"

Abandon the horse on foot, the speed is very slow, back to Chang'an City, the big mén has been closed, but the so-called curfew, just for ordinary people, Yan Liben showed the fish charm that represented the identity, asked to enter the city, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to the general on duty, the Yan family brothers, in the imperial court, can be regarded as a prominent magnate and the like, the general on duty is also happy to sell this face, as soon as the order is given, the soldiers quietly opened xiǎomén, welcoming Yan Lide and others into the city.

The general on duty walked lightly, without the mood to speak, Yan Lide led everyone to the direction of the mansion, Yan Liben stayed, and said politely: "General, admit it, ...... in the future"

His eyes swept over the horse's back, and the general on duty was stunned, after all, he had also seen the world, he instantly restrained his mood, skillfully politely got up, and said a few words, Yan Li took his leave and left.

The group disappeared at the corner of the street, and a soldier said: "General, the situation doesn't seem right, the one on the back of the horse seems to be a corpse ......"

"Silence, it's not our business." The general on duty reprimanded, frowned and thought about it, and said softly: "If someone asks, just answer truthfully, don't hide it." ”

"Understood." The soldier nodded hurriedly.

Looking at the empty streets, night fell, there were only a few dim lights, with gusts of cold wind, swaying, the general on duty seemed to have some premonitions, and sighed lightly: "Maybe, it's another monstrous disaster, or a little involved......"

Soon after, at the end of the alley, the brightly lit place was the Yan Mansion, but everyone did not have the joy of going home, and the pace became heavy, and the speed was very slow, especially Yan Lide, who was silent and didn't know how to treat Wan'er to his family after returning home.

However, no matter how long the road is, it will come to an end, Yan Lide suddenly stopped, stopped in front of the dividing line between light and dark, hidden in the dark side, and then stepped forward, it was in front of Yan Mansion Mén, the light range of the two large lanterns hanging, the candlelight was soft and full of warmth, but Yan Lide did not dare to move.

The same is true of everyone behind him, with sad expressions and grief in their hearts, and together with the horses, they seem to be able to feel the sadness of their masters, and they swing their heads uneasily and neighing softly.

After a long time, the fist in Yan Lide's sleeve trembled slightly, and he said astringently: "Let's go." ”

It seemed that they were waiting for Yan Lide and the others to come back, but the mansion was not closed, and a servant was waiting beside him, and when he found everyone's figures, he had a surprised smile on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said happily: "Ah Lang is back." ”

Yan Lide's expression was indifferent, his mind was in a trance, and he slowly walked towards the big mén, without raising his feet at all, and when he touched the steps, he was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, the guard was clever and found that the situation was wrong, and he hurriedly pulled his arm, so as not to cause an accident.

"Brother......" Yan Liben came to help, he wanted to comfort a few words, but he didn't know what to say, he sighed softly, his eyes were gloomy, sad and helpless.

The servant guarding mén seemed to have something to say, but when he saw the appearance of everyone and noticed the heavy atmosphere, he obediently swallowed the words back to his stomach, and together with Yan Liben, he supported Yan Lide into mén with his heart.

"Father, uncle......"

When he arrived in the front yard, the gentle voice came from the corridor, Yan Lide was stunned, looked up, a familiar figure, under the reflection of the orange and yellow lights, indescribably weak and beautiful, Yan Lide was suspicious in a dream, in hell, but he saw heaven.
