Before I knew it, it was getting dark, obscuring the sun overhead.

It was as if there was going to be a rain.

"My brother went to the Taoist temple to get a board, first moved the body to the Taoist temple, and then took some oilcloth, and before he came, don't let the rain wet the footprints around him."

There were traces of scuffles on the ground not far from the corpse, and there were a few shallow footprints, these were all evidence that the yamen could get, and since they saw it, they had to try to protect it.

Xu Qingan had already run fast, but he still didn't expect the heavy rain to come so quickly, and before he could send the body to the plank, the raindrops fell.

The people in the Taoist temple have not been interrogated, so naturally they can't be asked to come over to help, in case anyone "accidentally" damages the evidence, it will be too late to regret it.

"Sister, we can deliver this corpse, forget the footprints! You go to the Taoist temple to take shelter first, I'm afraid the rain is too urgent...... It's not small. ”

A few pieces of oilcloth can cover Xu Qinghuan, but there is still rain in the wind that wets Xu Qinghuan's dress.

"Brother will take someone to send the body over first, be careful, and check it out." Apparently rejecting Xu Qingan's proposal.

Xu Qingan couldn't resist his sister, as long as he ordered someone to wrap the body in an oilcloth before carrying it away.

Qing Huan instructed Feng Xiao to open a piece of oilcloth together and cover it on top of the footprints.

There are also two oilcloths in his hand, one can be used to shelter from the rain with the phoenix, and the other is ......

Xu Qinghuan looked at Song Chengxuan, who was standing under the tree, picked up a piece of oilcloth and walked over.

"Song Gongzi, it looks like this rain will fall for a while, you can cover it too!"

She looked up at him, the rain slid down her sideburns, and her eyes seemed to be wet with rain, like a bright moon at the bottom of the lake, blown by the wind and rippling at the bottom of the lake.

Xu Qinghuan looked up, Song Chengxuan didn't take the tarpaulin from her hand for a long time, he just stood like that, his eyes were deep, he didn't know what to think, they looked at each other like this in their previous lives and in this life, but every time she couldn't guess his thoughts.

In the previous life, they were opponents of each other, and after everything came back in this life, they didn't expect their relationship to change, although they were still wary of each other and suspicious of each other, but they also joined forces because of the investigation of the case, life is really wonderful, even if she lives again, she still doesn't know when something will happen, just like this pouring rain.

The rain trickled down his cheeks, and his eyes flickered slightly, with a certain dangerous and evil brilliance, just like when they were facing each other across a screen during the palace banquet in his previous life, his gaze seemed to be the same......

Finally he stretched out his hand, and she immediately let go of her hand, but she didn't want him to get the tarpaulin yet, seeing that the tarpaulin slipped off instantly, she hurried to pick it up in surprise, but the tarpaulin was caught in her hand again, but accidentally touched his slender fingers.

The fingers weren't as cold as she had imagined, and even in such weather, they were a little warm.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if he was laughing at her panic, she was just careless, and he lost no time in sneering.

Song Chengxuan stretched the tarpaulin open, strode over to the footprints she had covered, and pulled out the short blade at his waist to dig a ravine in the ground to prevent the rain from soaking up.

Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but be amazed that she had forgotten this, if the footprints were flooded, what was the use of her covering them.

waited until Xu Qing'an came back after sending the corpse, and then escorted Xu Qinghuan and Feng Xiao to the Taoist temple.

The road was already difficult to walk, but now that it was raining, it was extremely slippery, Xu Qingan was afraid that his sister would accidentally fall, so he nervously followed the side to protect him.

Climbing up against the wind, the rain beat her cheeks painfully, which made Qing Huan think of the weather in northern Xinjiang, the wind blew on her face like a knife, she was not used to it at first, but slowly it became ordinary.

Now that this body has not been subjected to a lot of wind and rain, she can't help but tremble, she was about to grit her teeth and speed up her pace, but for some reason the wind in front of her suddenly became much weaker, she raised her head and saw Song Chengxuan's tall figure, intentionally or unintentionally blocking in front of her.

Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but be stunned, and wanted to say something, but it was not appropriate to stay in the wind and rain, so he had to walk to the Taoist temple in one breath.

When he arrived at a stable place, Xu Qinghuan was about to step forward to thank Song Chengxuan, but Song Chengxuan did not stop and quickly walked away, as if he was not intentionally taking care of her.

Maybe she's overthinking it.

Xu Qinghuan turned his head to look at the heavy rain outside, a little worried.

Xu Qingan said: "Sister, don't worry, Meng Lingyun will take people to look at those footprints, and it will be fine." ”

"I'm worried about Uncle Lei, I haven't come back for so long."

The Taoist temple took out a clean cloth towel for everyone to wipe.

Feng Xiao said in a low voice: "What's the matter, we didn't bring clean dresses. ”

"Is this Sister Xu?" A pleasant voice rang out.

Xu Qinghuan looked over and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl holding a lady to step forward, Xu Qinghuan recognized at a glance that these two were the female dependents of the Hong Chuanting family of the Ministry of War.

"Madam, Sister Hong." Xu Qinghuan stepped forward to salute.

Hong Guixia is the only daughter of Hong Chuanting and Mrs. Hong, Mrs. Hong gave birth to her daughter after the cold, the body has been bad, since then there has been no more for the Hong family to add a son and a half daughter, Mrs. Hong is afraid that the Hong family has since broken the incense inheritance, urging Hong Chuanting to take a concubine, partial birth Hong Chuanting and Mrs. are very affectionate, never want to have another person in the room, Mrs. Hong can not resist, so she has to work her daughter-in-law, not only to find medicine everywhere, the fifteenth day of the first month will inevitably send children's play to Buddhism, Taoist temple incense and pray for blessings.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today, Mrs. Hong happened to come to incense.

Hong Guixia stepped forward and whispered: "We didn't bring extra clothes, but my mother and I can put out a pair of clothes for you to change, as long as you don't dislike it, just take it first, and wait for the next person to dry your clothes before changing them, otherwise you will definitely get sick like this." ”

"Yes," Mrs. Hong said, "Listen to Sister Xia, this body can't be careless at all." ”

Xu Qinghuan hurriedly said: "I am grateful for the kindness of my wife and sister, how can I say anything disliked." ”

"Let's go, then." Hong Guixia grabbed Xu Qinghuan.

The clothes were quickly changed, Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, the cold on his body was finally dispelled, Hong Guixia also wanted the maids around her to give Feng Xiao a set of clothes, but the maids of the Hong family were all thin, and the two together could not match Feng Yan's alone, Feng Xiao simply asked for a new set of Taoist robes to wear, and then wanted to learn from Zhang Zhenren's appearance, showing a somewhat unpredictable smile, but her belly sounded at this time.

Hong Guixia pursed her lips and smiled: "We brought vegetarian cakes, you eat the mat and make up the pad, we will have to wait until the rain stops before we can go down the mountain." ”

Mrs. Hong shook her head: "I don't know when the people from the government will arrive, I knew that I would encounter such a thing, so I won't come to incense today." ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "This Taoist temple is very small, how did Madame think of coming here?" ”

Mrs. Hong took a sip of tea: "I heard that this Taoist temple has just invited a Houtu Niangniang, so I want to come to worship." ”

"Mother doesn't have to hide it, just say it directly, Qinghuan must have heard about our family," Hong Guixia saw that there was no one else on the left and right, so she called Qinghuan's name, "My grandmother made a vow, as long as there is a statue or tablet of Houtu Niangniang in Beijing, our family will come to worship, so if there is any Taoist temple in Beijing that invites Houtu Niangniang, it will definitely send a post to our home." ”

Houtu Niangniang is the mother of the earth, in charge of yin and yang conception, and Mrs. Hong naturally came here to ask for a child.

Mrs. Hong sighed: "This Taoist temple is very small, there are not many immortal monarchs, and the master of the Taoist temple has turned into a good fate, and two large halls have been built to worship Houtu Niangniang and Xuannu Niangniang, probably expecting that the Taoist temple will have some incense." ”

Xu Qinghuan was stunned: "Madame said that Xuannu Niangniang is also enshrined in Taoism?" ”

Mrs. Hong bowed her head and said: "I didn't expect that the golden body of the Xuannu Niangniang has not been molded, and there is almost a death in the hall, but I am afraid that no one will come to send incense in the future, fortunately, people outside do not know that the Xuannu Niangniang has been enshrined here, and the Taoist temple only needs to set up another hall and invite another immortal monarch." ”

Xuannu Niangniang is the goddess of violence and peace, and it is understandable that the second wife of Sun came to worship Xuannu Niangniang.

But how did Second Mrs. Sun know that there was a Xuannu Niangniang here, could it be that the Lord also sent a post to Second Mrs. Sun?

Thinking of this, Xu Qing walked out of the door happily, taking advantage of the chaos outside, she wanted to ask Second Mrs. Sun well.

As soon as I walked out of the house, I heard the words outside: "Coming, coming." ”

Xu Qinghuan followed the voice and looked over, Huang Qinghe was standing there drenched and panting, Xu Qinghuan subconsciously turned his head to look at Hong Guixia.

I didn't expect Huang Qinghe and Hong Guixia to meet here.
