With 1,000 taels of silver to send Mrs. Zhu away, Zhuang Rou went out of the Disaster Relief Division, planning to go over the wall to Zhang's house to have a look.

When they saw Mrs. Zhu, they dared to pretend to be dizzy, then they would definitely take action after they went back, so it was better to eavesdrop, maybe the case would be solved.

So, she touched all the way to the Zhangfujiao Gate, which is a place for people in the back house to enter and exit to buy and do business, which is much more convenient than going through the main gate. The door was closed from afar, and she wanted to climb in from the side, but when she saw that there was no one around, she easily climbed up the wall.

It was not easy to jump from a piece of bamboo planted here to prevent thieves, and she was about to walk along the wall when she suddenly heard a voice from the corner gate.

"Mother Xu, do you always want to go out?" A servant said.

"Yes, you have to watch the corner gate, don't let the idlers break in and frighten the little master." The woman's voice came, and she didn't need to look at Zhuang Rou to hear it, it was the one who was looking at her gloomily in Yunxia Mountain before.

Looks like she's going out.

Zhuang Rou didn't go down to the wall again, but squatted on the wall, watching the corner door open, and the Xu Pozi walked out with a basket and looked like she was going to the street to buy things.

The corner door behind him closed, and Mrs. Xu subconsciously looked at both sides of the path, and Zhuang Rou squatted on the wall next to her, not afraid of her at all. Anyway, she had already been startled, and being found here would only make them even more alarmed.

Mrs. Xu didn't look up, she didn't expect that someone would climb over someone else's wall and squat in broad daylight, but after seeing that there was no one in the alley, she walked out with a basket.

Zhuang Rou followed her from a distance on the wall, and suddenly found that there was a white cat basking in the sun on the wall, and she didn't leave when she saw her, and she was not afraid of people at all. She squatted down and touched a few handfuls of cats, tilted her head and saw that Mrs. Xu had walked out of the alley, so she grabbed a few handfuls of cats, jumped off the wall, and jumped up to follow.

She disappeared with Mrs. Xu, and Qin Qiu, who was supposed to send her friend's corpse back to her hometown, appeared on the wall, he sat down directly next to the cat, and reached out to touch the cat.

Unexpectedly, the docile cat suddenly blew up, raised its claws and gave it to him, if it weren't for Qin Qiushan's speed, his hand would definitely be scratched by it.

When the cat saw that the attack failed, he immediately jumped off the wall and quickly burrowed into the courtyard, hiding without a trace.

"......" Qin Qiu sat silently on the wall, and only after a while did he look at his hand and say to himself, "It's really boring to call Hanako to ignore the cat." With that, he jumped off the wall and followed them out of the alley.

Mrs. Xu is very vigilant, always looking around sneakily along the way, and always looking behind her, looking like she is going out to do bad things for fear of being discovered.

Zhuang Rou leaned against the pillar of a shop and sighed, there were so many flaws and doing bad things, it was simply an insult to the ability to be arrested.

However, she didn't realize that there was someone behind her, who was also swaggering after her without being noticed.

The three of them left Hongzhou one after the other, and Mrs. Xu got into a carriage and headed in the direction of Yunxia Mountain.

Watching the carriage go away, Zhuang Rou also got into a carriage, anyway, sitting in the car, you can't see her when the curtain is pulled down, otherwise you can't run away, it must be a fool's doing.

After the two of them left, Qin Qiu also came to the gate of the city, and before he could stand by the carriage, he was scolded by the coachman, "Where is the name of Huazi, go away and go away, there is no money for you." Hurry up and dodge and scare the guests away! ”

Qin Qiu glanced at them, walked to the small forest on the side of the road with disgusted eyes, looked at the carriage in the distance, and swooped to the tree, jumping flexibly on the branches, chasing them with his feet.

This Yunxia Mountain is not far away, but it is not close, Zhuang Rou has already arrived at Yunxia Mountain but did not get off the carriage, but waited for Xu Pozi to carry the basket up the mountain for a while, she came down and went to the side street to buy two vegetarian cakes to take with her, and also bought a gourd by the way.

Filled with water by the spring at the foot of the mountain, she went into the woods unprepared, and went up the stone steps under the cover of the bushes and the trees.

Qin Qiu knew that he could hold on, even if he didn't bring any food, by nibbling on the non-poisonous leaves in the forest, he would be able to track the target for seven days. In order to lighten himself and not lose his goal, he has never brought dry food and water with him, and at this time, looking at Zhuang Rou, who was not busy following people and went to buy cakes and gourds first, he felt a little stupid inexplicably.

But the habit of many years made him not leave the target, but to buy any food, just pluck a grass stalk and bite it in his mouth, and the man also burrowed into the woods.

Zhuang Rou hadn't been in the forest for a long time, and she was wearing a skirt, which had been hung by branches several times, so she pulled up her skirt and tied it to her body, so that she wouldn't be so in the way, and she wasn't afraid that her clothes would be scratched by branches.

After getting used to it, she slid like a snake through the woods, and soon followed Xu Pozi who was walking up the steps. Climbing the mountain twice a day makes Mrs. Xu tired enough, but she has something to come, and she only hates that no one will carry this Yunxia Mountain up the mountain without bringing her own people.

"It's so slow, can't you go faster? Sit down again. Zhuang Rou sat on a stone in a bush, looking at Mrs. Xu through the grass and trees, she sat on the stone steps and pounded her legs for a long time.

There are too many temples on this mountain, and she doesn't know which one she is going to, but she has gone deep into the mountains, and the trees are getting denser and denser, and it is more laborious to move.

Just when she was impatient, two men in green clothes came from under the stone steps above, saw Xu Pozi sitting on the side of the stone steps, and asked a little inexplicably: "Xu Pozi, didn't you just come today, why did you come again?" ”

"Two young envoys, I want to meet the hall master, there is a major matter related to human life." Mrs. Xu quickly stood up and saluted them respectfully.

The two people known as the Qing Envoy had no smile on their faces, and there was some reprimanding in their tones, "Is the hall master what you want to see?" If there is something wrong, you should also go to the green envoy on your side, instead of going directly to the hall master. ”

Xu Pozi rubbed her hands in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "But this matter is a bit big, and the young envoys below may not be able to do it, so I want to come to the hall master to discuss." ”

Hearing her say this, she simply looked down on the Qing Envoy, and the two of them looked very unhappy, "You are just a little believer, and you actually mock the Qing Envoy?" ”

"The green envoy spares his life, the slave and maid have a broken mouth and say the wrong thing, they should be beaten." Xu Pozi knelt on the ground and slapped herself in the face loudly, fortunately, this road is relatively remote, the time for incense has long passed, and only a few people occasionally come down from the mountain.

But they seemed to be very accustomed to this scene, they didn't even look at Mrs. Xu, and when they walked past the Qing envoy without squinting, they bowed and saluted, and then went down the stairs down the mountain.

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and smiled, this scene was very unexpected to her, seeing that Mrs. Xu's mouth was about to be swollen, the two of them asked her to stop and sent her down the mountain.

also sternly warned her that if the green envoy really couldn't handle her business, then the green envoy would report to the hall master, and she had crossed the line in this way.

Xu Pozi had just climbed up, and now she was carrying the basket back, fortunately, it was much easier to go down the mountain than to go up, and before the city gate was closed, she should be able to rush back with her tired body.

But the two young envoys turned their heads back, and they didn't know if they would have to go down the mountain with Xu Pozi again, so they couldn't stand her and went back temporarily.

Qin Qiu was not interested in any of this, he just stared at Zhuang Rou, thinking that she was going to follow Xu Pozi down the mountain again. Suddenly, he saw Zhuang Rou come out of the bushes, return directly to the stone steps, shake the grass on his body and put down his skirt.

She grabbed a few handfuls of hair, straightened her clothes, and went up the ladder to see what kind of temple it was.

When she turned two corners along the mountain, a gorgeous palace appeared in front, and a stone several zhang high stood on the side of the door, with the book: Qingfan Palace, three big characters.

"River Temple?" Zhuang Rou didn't expect that she would actually go to the river temple, this river god she had heard from the people in the state capital, and when she mentioned it, she said that it was extremely effective. The Aoki card in the wooden box in his arms is not from here.

It is also different from other temples, other people's are built in majestic and solemn, and this is like a royal relative's courtyard, gorgeous but not tacky, at this time there is a leisurely sound of the piano came, if it is not for the door of these big words, you have to wonder whose courtyard this is.

After all, it is a place for people to pray and make wishes, and at this time the door is wide open, and occasionally someone comes out of it.

Zhuang Rou walked over, now it was getting late, there were not many people in the Qingfan Palace, she came to the main hall alone, and in her eyes was a tall statue of the river god.

Half eyes are lightly drooping, long hair is shawl, and lying on the side on the wave-shaped base, inexplicably there is a feeling that this river god is lazy and not solemn at all.

She stared at the river god and couldn't help but take a few steps back, trying to see more clearly.

Suddenly, someone behind her laughed and said, "What does Master Zhuang think of this river god statue?" ”

Zhuang Rou blurted out, "A beautiful man who is chic and free." ”

"Hahaha, Master Zhuang is really temperamental, others say that he is solemn and close to the people." Luo Yunfan looked at the statue of the river god and laughed loudly.

Zhuang Rou turned her head to look at the man who was talking, not only knew who she was, but also looked a little familiar, but she always felt that she couldn't remember where she saw her.

"I look at you so familiarly, but I can't remember it, I shouldn't be familiar with you but I've seen it. Who are you? If you don't know, ask directly, the more Zhuang Rou looks, the more she feels that she knows this person.

Luo Yunfan smiled, "When I was in Douhu County, I had a fate with adults. On that day, the adults took a boat to the lake, took off their shoes and socks to play in the water, and I happened to witness the demeanor of the adults on a painting boat. ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Rou remembered it as soon as she heard it, wasn't it the time she met Hua Yulou on Douhu, this person was ......

"You are a fellow party of Hua Yulou, and you are also a flower thief?" She raised her eyebrows and said, she does have the capital to be a flower thief, and she can't pick flowers this year?

Luo Yunfan was immediately amused by her, "My lord said that I was laughing, I am just an ordinary idle person, my ancestors have some shade, so I have no worries about food and clothing, and I met the playboy because of his humor." ”

"I like to participate in Buddhism and enlightenment, these days in the Yunxia Mountain, but greedy for pleasure, other temples are too bitter, so I borrow here."

His eyes narrowed into a line, pursed his lips and smiled: "Today is also a fate with the adults, if the adults are not in a hurry to go back, you can go to the lower residence to have a light meal, and then before the city gate is closed, you can send guards to send the adults back." ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him and smiled slightly, "Okay, it won't be a vegetarian, right?" ”

"No, I am a person who enjoys it, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are indispensable, so naturally I will not treat the adults slowly." Luo Yunfan said and made a gesture of please.

"Then I'll wait." Zhuang Rou smiled and put her hands behind her back, walked in front of him, and walked inside first.

With a smile on his face, Luo Yunfan looked back at the outside of the hall, and his eyes fell on the top of the Spirit Pagoda next to him. Qin Qiu was squatting there looking down, the two glanced at each other, and Luo Yunfan turned around and followed Zhuang Rou.

Qin Qiu frowned, and suddenly found that on the roof of the main hall, there was a flower cat stretching its waist. He tilted his head to look, got up and jumped into the air with a vertical step, turned over a few somersaults and landed lightly on the roof of the main hall, touched it in his arms, and took out nothing.

He stood silent for a long time, and the cat looked at him vigilantly, and finally he crouched down and rubbed his fingers with his bare hands. The cat glanced at his hand and turned away with contempt.

"......" Qin Qiu squatted there and sighed, the smell of dried fish will be exposed.
