In the deep winter of the mountain village, there are a few wisps of green smoke, and the air is mixed with a hint of sweetness, and a few casual breaths will make people feel refreshed, and the originally quiet village is full of children's laughter!

But with the appearance of the ice edge, the laughter stopped abruptly, the ice reflected the colorful light, it was very good-looking, Wu Nian and the others were curious to lie on the ice, the river was not very deep but the ice was more than five meters thick, Wu Nian felt a chill on the back of his neck, not just the cold air, but also the scene under the ice made him feel shivering!

It just so happened that not far away, Leng Xing led people to pass here, and a group of family members worked together, and after a while, a piece of ice one meter wide and two meters long was lifted ashore, followed by a corpse that had been stuck to the ice!

"Zhao Jiancai?"

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, but the fact was that the corpse lying in the previous year was indeed Zhao Jiancai, who had just escaped, and everyone looked at each other, unable to accept this reality for a while!

There was a wooden bed in the courtyard of the Zhao family, and Zhao Jiancai was still lying on a large piece of ice on the bed, and the noon sun shone on the corpse, and the blood and water lay down!

"What's going on, hasn't Jiancai already run away with his family? How did he die in the river west of the village? Zhao Jianbang asked in disbelief, "If he was killed, then where did some of the people in Leng Hua go, why didn't they come back for help?" ”

The question he was wondering about was also the question that everyone was thinking, Wu Nian stared at the corpse tightly, he had unspeakable feelings for Zhao Jiancai, a man who could endure for eighteen years for love, but died gloomily when the whole family was reunited, the life he longed for may have just begun, and the impermanence of the world makes people!

Leng Xing silently burned wooden stumbling on the side, the successive departures of his family made him more and more cold, no one knew what he was thinking at this time, but he could see that Leng Xing's face was cold and about to frost!

I originally thought that Zhao Jiancai was an important clue, maybe I could find some useful information in him, but I didn't expect that how much hope there is, how big the disappointment, it seems that this trip to prison is unavoidable, I just hope that before the truth is found, Zhao Jiantai in prison is not in danger of life!

The blood and water slipped down one by one, and the courtyard was already wet with a piece of ground, and it was hard to imagine how much blood a person had enough to infect such a large courtyard and the minds of more than a dozen people!

As the flames continued to heat up, the ice under Zhao Jiancai's body gradually melted, and everyone had been guarding not far from him, staring blankly at the corpse in front of him in their minds!

Suddenly, Zhao Jiancai's arm on his chest creaked, and with the traction of the voice, everyone's eyes locked on his hand, "You see, he seems to have something in his hand"

I don't know who shouted this, everyone looked at his hand, Leng Feng rushed over without hesitation, broke Zhao Jiancai's already stiff left hand, and a black and red bead fell from his hand to the ground, bounced a few times and rolled to Wu Nian's feet!

"Bracelets?"

Wu Nian picked up this wooden bead in surprise, judging from the shape and color, it should be one on the bracelet, it seems that this is the last clue left by Zhao Jiancai before he died!

After checking the wounds of the deceased, Zhao Jianbang arranged for someone to bury him hastily, and the Zhao family at this time had no time to sort out the aftermath for him!

The four people in the room sat opposite each other, Leng Xing was still cold and questionable, Leng Feng looked at Wu Nian with his big face in his hands, and imperceptibly, he was used to obeying Wu Nian's arrangement!

"We all looked at the wounds of the deceased just now, it should have been killed by someone who smashed the back of the skull with a blunt object, the deceased's eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly open, he should have been frightened before he died, or he saw something incredible, so he had such an expression"

"And the bead he held in his hand until death may be able to give us the last clue, what do you think of this bead?"

Leng Feng said with a big grin, "It's just a bead on an ordinary bracelet, what can you think, there are too many people who like to play with such things, and if you want to catch the murderer with just one bead, it's just a joke."

"At present, only dead horses can be regarded as live horse doctors, by the way, Leng Xing, have you made any new discoveries recently?"

Hearing the mention of himself, Leng Xing slowly raised his head, "I didn't find anything, the huge village is looking for a coffin buried in the ground, the probability is too small, by the well, under the trees, in the fields, we dug a lot of places and still found nothing, maybe we should find out if there are high-tech tools suitable for searching, just like the minesweeper used by the little devil back then, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to find the black sarcophagus until I die!" ”

Zhao Jianbang and others also suddenly realized, "Yes, I will arrange for you to go to the provincial capital tomorrow, I have a few old friends in the archaeological team, maybe they have this kind of instrument!" ”

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, cigarettes were lit one by one, Wu Nian had a headache and was about to explode, Leng Yue was taken away by someone alive or dead, and Leng Hua's family also disappeared, although it is the dream of many young people to save the beauty of heroes, but it is difficult to practice!

A hand-strung bead, that's all, how can you find the murderer? There are no less than 100 bracelets in Miaotou Village alone, even if the murderer is found one by one, I don't know what year and month it will be, and can Leng Yue wait until that time?

The bead is dark red all over, with clear lines on it, Wu Nian counted it, a total of six lines run through the head and tail, it seems that he can only find some clues from its body, Wu Nian took this bead to visit home and wanted to get some information!

However, after walking almost half of Miaotou Village, no one can clearly say the name and source, only knowing that this bead has been played with for many years, and the thick pulp is enough to explain!

Wu Nian, who was slightly disappointed, walked on the road, greeted by a group of primary school students, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the school had already ended, and the curling smoke rising from the village was to welcome them!

"Brother Nian" The children greeted him cordially and then passed by, and a boy stopped, "Brother Nian, your injury has been healed, look at the way you walk, you don't look like an injured person"

"Xiaobao, thank you for your concern, Brother Nian has recovered, how are you doing, are you naughty, have you studied hard?" Wu Nian stretched out his hand to dust off the snowflakes on Xiaobao's hat and asked with concern!

"I'm still a middle school student, my grades have been quite stable, our homeroom teacher recently took sick leave, the new substitute teacher is humorous, I like his class, I don't want to leave the class after listening"

"Then study hard, being admitted to a university is the only way out for our rural children"

"Okay, Brother Nian, my mother is still waiting for me to come home for dinner" After speaking, Xiaobao waved his hand and walked towards the village!

"It's time for me to go home for dinner, too" Wu Nian doesn't remember how long it has been, how long has it been since he heard his mother standing at the gate shouting his name and asking him to come back for dinner!

Aunt Wu seemed to know that her son would come back for dinner, there were already two small pots of vegetables on the dining table, steaming sauerkraut and pork stewed vermicelli, and two red peppers scorched by the stove fire were placed next to them, and she drank a few glasses of white wine with Uncle Wu, touching her slightly bulging belly, Wu Nian stepped aside with satisfaction, waiting to go to the kitchen to brush the dishes!

Sitting on the kang with some hot buttocks, the three of them chatted happily, "By the way, Nian'er, your father-in-law is looking for you to go back, do you have any new discoveries?" ”

"No, but Zhao Jiancai didn't run away, but died, and the only clue was gone" Wu Nian shook his head, fiddling with a hand string of beads!

"Has the cause been found out, and have any clues left?"

"I was killed by someone who smashed my head, leaving only such a bead, it's useless" said Wu Nian and handed the bead to Uncle Wu!

"What beads? Let's listen to it" Although Aunt Wu can't see with her eyes, her intuition tells her that the beads are not so simple!

"It's a bead on a bracelet, wooden, with six wood grains on it, dark red, and it's in Zhao Jiancai's hand."

"Six stripes? The wood comes with it, it's not carved, right? ”

"It should be brought by itself, and I asked many people in the village, but I don't know what kind of wood this is."

Aunt Wu took the beads and stroked it, "Maybe I can know a little, according to legend, Manjushri Bodhisattva once went to the Western world to return, and there was an extra cane in his hand, it is said that the cane was blessed by a superb master of Buddhism in the West, and it can ward off evil spirits and relieve disasters, Manjushri buried the cane in Wutai Mountain, and soon grew a strange tree, only because the tree texture is clear and special, and the branches naturally generate six stripes, so it is called Liudaomu or descending dragon wood, Mu Guiying also uses Liudaomu to break the heavens, and later Liudaomu is widely spread, but the number is limited, Only a few monks have Wutai Mountain, and there are many monks from other places who go to Wutai Mountain to ask for six trees to come back to make beads, but it is generally not at the level of the abbot, and it is difficult to have! ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Wu Nian seemed to think of something, but what he never expected was that his mother lived in a mountain village all the year round, and he didn't know a few big characters, so he could actually know the legend about Liudaomu, which was unexpected by him, and said goodbye to his parents, Wu Nian returned to Zhao's house, lying on the bed and thinking!

Zhao Jiancai and the others have just left for half a month, and the goal is still obvious, it is impossible to go to Wutai Mountain, so it can only be that the nearest temple can get Liudaomu, maybe he considered the reason why no one dared to use force in the Buddhist holy land, so he chose to take refuge temporarily, who would have thought that something would happen in the end!

It seems that before going to prison, I will visit a nearby temple, and all the temples that I can walk to within fifteen days will become my destination!

Wu Nian found the old people in the village again, carefully inquired about the location of all the nearby temples, and then sorted them according to the size of the scale, and visited them in turn!

Within the jurisdiction of the local county, there are only three decent temples, and the largest temple is none other than the Songhua Temple in the town, which is the only temple with an open eye......
