It only took a moment to hear the voice of Wu Shan behind me: "Third son, you went to Mingyue Mountain that year, did you go to Yingyue Lake under that mountain?" ”

As soon as Wu Shan's voice sounded, Qingzhi pushed Lu Shikang away.

Lu Shikang returned to Wushan and said, "Yes, I went." ”

Wu Shan said: "Then let's go to Mingyue Mountain, can we go to Yingyue Lake by the way?" ”

"Yes."

Lu Yuanqing, who was in the sedan chair in front, said: "I still remember Yingyue Lake, I went to it at night, there was a moon on the lake, and there was a moon in the lake, which was beautiful." When Dr. Kong is a good doctor, let's stay at night on the edge of Yingyue Lake, I remember that there used to be a place to stay. ”

Wu Shan said with a smile: "Our trip is all stained with the light of Dr. Kong going to Lixia Village to practice medicine in the vicinity. ”

Then no one spoke.

Qingzhi lifted the curtain and continued to look out the window.

Lu Shikang took out a book from his arms, which was the "History of Jiangbei Ye", lying on the recliner and began to look.

After a long time, Lu Shikang suddenly said: "Doctor Kong, why don't we talk about some serious things." ”

Qingzhi ignored him, anyway, in his mouth, serious means improper.

I heard Lu Shikang say: "I'll tell you the story of the bronze card again, and you don't have to doze off again this time." ”

"Do you like to talk about it?" Qingzhi Road.

"Dr. Kong is not interested in this story anymore? The boy won't talk about it. ”

Ignore him and continue to look out the window.

I listened to him beside him and said seriously: "I told you last time that there was a thief named Nie Xiao, and today, I will tell his story again." ”

As soon as she heard the name Nie Xiao, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Because she knew that she would talk about the bronze medal later.

"This Nie Xiao is a native of Xia County, which was under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei City six hundred years ago, and in his life, he robbed a total of 30 people's daughters to be the wife of the village. These women bore him sixty-two sons and fifty-five daughters.

His followers spread all over the counties around Jiangbei City, and these subordinate forces occupied more than 60 hills in Jiangbei and the county below, making the Jiangbei people miserable.

"After three years of Great Qiong Qiguan, Qiong II decided to wipe out this Nie Xiao and his followers for the sake of the people of Jiangbei. So, he sent 20,000 forbidden troops south. Nie Xiao heard the news early, and first arranged for his thirty wives and their children to leave Jiangbei, while he himself led the people to fight, and ten days later, all his followers were wiped out, and he himself escaped on the bank of the river in the eastern suburbs of Xia County, Jiangbei City.

He continued, "Many of Nie Xiao's wives and descendants saved their lives because they fled Jiangbei one step earlier. In order to avoid being caught and destroyed at the same time, his wife and descendants fled to Sunjia Village, Jiangzhou, and discussed ways to survive in the world in a forest outside the village. As a result of their deliberations, they scattered everywhere, kept their names incognito, and hid in all parts of Daqiong from then on.

"They decided to change one surname to another, and the descendants of thirty ladies were to change thirty surnames, and in order that the descendants of their changed surnames could find each other and not kill each other, they decided to make a bronze plaque."

Finally hearing the three words of the bronze plate, Qingzhi listened more carefully, although his face was still looking out, but all his attention was on the sedan chair.

Last time, Lu Shikang talked about it here, and he didn't talk about it further.

This bronze plaque is a token of their mutual recognition in the future, and they have also decided that if anyone has a chance to make a comeback in the future, they will gather the whole family again and fight together. They also agreed on a code phrase to be used as a mutually recognizable message. ”

"What's the codeword?" Aoeda asked.

"It's not written in the book." Lu Shikang replied.

He glanced at her and felt a little puzzled, since she also had a bronze medal, she should also be a descendant of Nie Xiao, but why didn't she know the code?

After turning his head, he continued: "I will make a bold guess that after this "History of Jiangbei Ye" was circulated in the world, because the book involved the secrets of Nie Xiao and his descendants, the writer had been retaliated against, and the book that circulated among the people was also looted everywhere by Nie Xiao's descendants. ”

"Why do you guess that?" Qingzhi wondered.

"Other wild histories have signatures, but this wild history does not even have a signature, the reason is nothing more than the fear of retaliation. In addition, most of the people who write wild histories for a place are people who are well versed in local history, and most of them are local knowledgeable and highly respected people, and if he has descendants, he must also have a certain influence, but the writer of this wild history not only has no name himself, but he has never seen or heard who is the descendant of the writer of this wild history, so it is most likely that this person was retaliated against along with his descendants after the book was circulated. ”

Aoeda felt that he had the right analysis.

But she had other doubts, so she asked: "Just now you said that this wild history was looted by Nie Xiao's descendants, so where did you get this book?" ”

"This book was found in the library in the yamen of the prefect of Jiangbei City, and this is probably the only book of "History of Jiangbei Ye" that has been circulated in the world. No matter how strong Nie Xiao's descendants were, the yamen was still a place they didn't dare to break into easily. One day I went to the Yamen to look for my father, because my father was working on a case, so I waited in the library and saw the book on a shelf. ”

Speaking of this, he took out the bronze plaque from his bosom and said, "Coincidentally, a few days ago, a girl threw this bronze plaque in my utility room. That girl looked quite white, who would have thought that she would be the offspring of a bandit? ”

Looking at the bronze plaque in his hand, she said in her heart that sure enough, this bronze plaque had fallen in his utility room that day.

But, listening to him, is he secretly saying that he is a descendant of a bandit?

Then she'll have to defend herself.

She looked at the bronze plaque in his hand and said, "Perhaps, that girl just picked up this bronze plaque somewhere?" How did you conclude that she was the offspring of the bandits? ”

Lu Shikang smiled slightly and said, "There is indeed this possibility." The next time I see the girl, I'll give her the bronze medal back, after all, it's hers. ”

"You just pay her back, what are you doing with me about this?"

"Dr. Kong doesn't know, that girl is actually a little like you."

"There are more people who look like me."

Lu Shikang smiled slightly, "Does Dr. Kong mean that his appearance is feminine?" Isn't Dr. Kong the body of a man and the heart of a woman? That's why I can have the idea of a good dragon and yang for my son? ”

Qingzhi saw that he was not serious anymore, so he ignored him. Instead, he opened the sedan curtain wider, turned sideways, turned his face to the outside of the sedan car, and looked into the distance.

There was silence in the sedan again.

She heard the sound of pages turning behind her, and she knew that he was reading the "History of Jiangbei Ye" again.
