After coming out of the old branch secretary's house, Yi Yang took Yu Xin to the foot of the mountain, according to the direction described by the old branch secretary, the two saw a courtyard at the foot of Phoenix Mountain from a distance, the two walked closer, and saw some green plants and flowers neatly planted in the courtyard through the courtyard gate, it seems that someone should take care of it every day, Yi Yang walked to the door, patted the door hard, and shouted a few times, after hearing a woman agree, I saw someone push open the door from the house, passing through the yard and walking towards the courtyard door.

The woman who came out of the house was Nalan Yanran, who she had just seen in the morning, and Nalan Yanran was a little surprised when she saw the two people standing outside the courtyard, pursed her lips and smiled, and then opened the courtyard door and let the two in.

Yi Yang and Nalan Yanran didn't go around in circles after saying hello, and directly indicated that they wanted to visit Nalan Yanran's grandmother, Nalan Yanran didn't ask anything, and motioned for the two to follow her into the back room, Yu Xin looked around left and right, and found that the house was unusually tidy, although the house had common soil kang and fire walls in the countryside, but there were also sofas and desks in the middle of the room, and there were a few pots of various small flowers that could not be named on the windowsill, which was a bit of the feeling of an elegant residence in the city. Yu Xin smiled at Nalan Yanran, and then said, "Lan Lan doesn't seem to be at home, otherwise I heard that someone came to take a look." ”

Nalan Yanran smiled and nodded: "She usually lives on campus, but she only came back to see her mother-in-law on the weekend yesterday, and she just returned to school this afternoon." After speaking, he turned to Yi Yang and said, "Trouble Detective Yi in a moment, my mother-in-law usually rests early, I'll go to her house to have a look." Then he turned and went out of the house.

A few minutes later, Yi Yang heard a coughing sound coming from outside the house, and then Nalan Yanran walked in with an old lady who looked to be nearly 80 years old. Yi Yang saw Nalan Yanran's mother-in-law hunched her back, and she was tired and panting after only a few steps, her wrinkles covered her face, and she looked like she was about to die, but her eyes looked very bright, adding a touch of vitality to the whole person.

Nalan Yanran helped her mother-in-law sit on the kang, massaging her mother-in-law's thighs while introducing the origins of the two people opposite. Yi Yang got up from the chair and took two steps forward, and Granny Xiang, who was slightly louder than usual, asked, "Mother-in-law, we are the provincial police, and we came here to learn something from you."

"My mother-in-law doesn't have her ears back, so she doesn't need to be so loud" Nalan Yanran glanced at Yi Yang.

"Hehe" Yi Yang smiled a little embarrassedly, and then asked his mother-in-law to know the origin of the mountain guards and the rumors of the mountain god.

The mother-in-law covered her mouth with her hand and coughed lightly twice, and then signaled Nalan Yanran beside her not to beat her back, and there was an unusually hoarse voice, as if her vocal cords were torn, and a voice came out of her mother-in-law's mouth: "The mountain keeper is actually watching this mountain to prevent fire." In the past, when the old man was still alive, there were still trees on the mountain, but now the mountains are barren, and there are still any mountain guards. ”

Nalan Yanran explained to Yi Yang: "My mother-in-law suffered from the wind cold when she was young and broke her throat, and the medical conditions were not good at that time, so her voice has been hoarse. ”

Yi Yang nodded clearly, and then asked his mother-in-law: "I heard that there was a murder in the mountain temple a long time ago, and how many people died, do you know the specific process?" ”

The mother-in-law shook her head and continued to say in an unusually hoarse voice: "At that time, I was still young, and I didn't remember much, but a few people were not accustomed to the water and soil and hallucinated and fell off the mountain." ”

Yu Xin couldn't help but interject: "Mother-in-law, two more people have died in the village in the past few days, although I don't know what the reason is, but I feel that it is still related to the previous murder case, we want to know a little more, think about it carefully, is there anything worth noting?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled coldly, opened her mouth, looked at Yu Xin and said slowly: "Little girl, the death of a person is a matter of your police, I guard this mountain every day, how can I know what the reason is?" After speaking, he coughed a few times and beat his chest, and then continued: "I'm old, useless, and I can't remember some things clearly, you young people talk for a while, Yanran has been growing up in the village, if you don't understand anything, ask her."

After speaking, she stood up and signaled to Nalan Yanran that she didn't need to support her, and after patting Yanran on the shoulder, she slowly walked out of the room.

Seeing her mother-in-law's somewhat unkind attitude, Yi Yang looked a little embarrassed, looking at Nalan Yanran and didn't know what to say. Nalan Yanran smiled lightly, got up and took a cup on the table, poured hot water for the two of them and handed it over, and then said, "Mother-in-law doesn't like to come into contact with people when she is old, so don't be surprised." In fact, these legends of the mountain gods are also false, can you still believe it when you are a policeman? ”

Yi Yang frowned, touched his forehead with his right hand, turned around and glanced at Yu Xin, and then said to Nalan Yanran: "Yes, you are right. It's not too early, so we won't bother. ”

Just as she got up to leave, Nalan Yanran's expression was a little hesitant, but after biting her lip, she still said to Yi Yang: "Detective Yi, the beautiful song you wrote before I pondered at home for a day today and composed a tune, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Yi Yang was a little stunned, he didn't expect Nalan Yanran to make this request at this time, but he still nodded and sat down again. Nalan Yanran took out the sticky note paper that Yi Yang had written in the morning from her pocket, looked up and smiled at Yi Yang and Yu Xin, and then sang softly: "A glass of green ant wine, three hundred gold." But begging the concubine to laugh, green silk wipes the bamboo qin. The red face is empty and tearful, and the dynasty has fallen into love. When the beauty saw the white head, she groaned in vain. ”

Yu Xin felt that the melody she sang this time was very different from the rhythm in the morning, but there was an extra sense of winding paths and extremely ethereal, and after Nalan Yanran finished singing, she felt that the beautiful voice was still hanging over the beam, and the aftertaste was endless, and she couldn't help but applaud a few times gently. Turning his head to look at Yi Yang, he found that Yi Yang was also fascinated by what he heard, and he was fascinated.

Nalan Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Yi Yang: "Great detective, after listening to your poem, I also had a sudden inspiration, and I also made a song at home during the day, do you want to listen to it together and give me some advice?" ”

Yi Yang couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only nod, and Yu Xin was also very curious, sitting with Yi Yang and listening attentively. This time, Nalan Yanran did not sing the poem directly, but hummed an unknown but particularly beautiful melody with her mouth, and then the ghostly voice of the empty drum sounded again: "Last night, the wind was sluggish, and I saw the smoke go out." The stars are like rain in the distance, and the waning moon hangs in the sky. Relying on the recitation of Luo Fu, I saw that the green shirt was wet. That year, people broke their bowels, and they are still related to this day. Today there is Luo Yi, and I am always in a dream. There is a time to meet and a time to break. The shadow of the past is still there, only afraid and sad. It is better to say goodbye to leave, so as not to be Sauvignon Blanc. ”

Yu Xin looked at Yi Yang as if he was completely attracted by the beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics, and his eyes gradually closed. I also felt tired, and my eyes became heavy. The song seems to have the power to lead people into dreams. At this time, Nalan Yanran's singing voice seemed to become high-pitched, and the singing voice came again: "He is still in the old age, and he still hates the pink skeleton of the past." Don't ask for colorful butterflies to become wings, just for the Ming Dynasty to become sad. ”

Yu Xin saw that as Nalan Yanran's singing gradually improved, Yi Yang's eyes were completely closed, as if he had fallen asleep deeply. When Yu Xin was about to close her eyes, she seemed to see the corners of Yi Yang's mouth turned up, as if she was smiling playfully. At this time, Nalan Yanran had already finished singing, she quickly shook her head, and tried to open her eyes to make herself sober.

Yi Yang opened his eyes a little confused, and smiled at Nalan Yanran: "Good poetry, good melody, I'm a little fascinated by it!" Nalan Yanran smiled: "It's just that I suddenly felt it, but I saw a smile." Yu Xin saw Yi Yang stand up and pat his body, and hurriedly got up together. Yi Yang looked a little tired, yawned and raised his hand to say goodbye to Nalan Yanran. Nalan Yanran also got up to send the two out of the house.

When passing by the courtyard, Yi Yang pointed to a row of small blue flowers in the corner of the courtyard and said, "I haven't seen these small flowers here, what kind of variety?" Nalan Yanran looked in the direction of his finger, and then said, "I don't know where my mother-in-law found the flower seeds, but they are very supportive." After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Yi Yang again: "I heard you say that the village party secretary drowned by the river today, and the forensic identification was suicide, the chief detective still feels a little strange?" ”

Yi Yang paused for a moment, rubbed his forehead and said, "There may be some problems, but there is no evidence to be sure, but the fake ones must not be true." ”

"Huh?" Yu Xin found that Nalan Yanran covered her mouth with her hand, as if she showed a stunned or disbelieving expression, and immediately lowered her head as if hiding something.

Yi Yang didn't pay attention to Nalan Yanran's expression, turned his head to look at the row of small blue flowers and walked out of the gate with Yu Xin, turned around and waved his hand to Nalan Yanran, and then said to Yu Xin: "Tomorrow we will leave for Shengjing early to meet someone." ”

After Nalan Yanran returned to the house, she found that her mother-in-law had sat on the kang at some point, and looked at her with some solemnity, she sat silently beside her mother-in-law and stopped talking, I don't know why her mother-in-law's hoarse voice was a little gloomy: "Your singing voice is not good." ”
