Chapter 205: Sandalwood Photo (4)
After Lu Weilou left, I looked at Lin Suwen and said angrily: "Where did you go just now, it makes it easy for me to find it." ”
Lin Suwen replied: "Just take a walk." ”
There were snowflakes on his body, which blended with the white clothes, except for a few bits and pieces on his black hair, like broken jade in his hair.
I glanced at him, thinking that when I was talking to my senior brother just now, I offended him proudly for a while, and unnaturally avoided my gaze, looked at the plum blossom by the bridge and said, "Just now...... I'm sorry......"
"Everyone has known each other for so long, I actually don't understand, why do you always ignore us, afraid that when we talk, we forget you, and you will feel left out, so I ......"
He was sullen and said, "I won't talk about you again in the future." ”
Lin Suwen was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay. ”
"Actually......"
He wanted to speak again and again, and only after a long time did he say, "That's fine." ”
I couldn't understand what he was saying, whether it was when we were talking, whether I left him aside and didn't ask, or whether I was deliberately teasing him just now.
I can only laugh and say: "It's best if you're not angry, in fact, I'm most afraid that you will be angry now, and I'm still thinking about how to apologize so that you can get angry......"
Lin Suwen didn't answer, obviously he didn't want to talk in depth on this topic, and I could only stand aside with a weak heart.
To be honest, it's a bit inexplicably apprehensive.
The snow, falling quietly, falls on the plum blossoms, forming a layer of fine ice crystals.
Lin Suwen showed no sign of going back.
After a moment, he spoke lightly and asked, "Why did you and that person walk together?" ”
Thinking of Lu Weilou, I hurriedly explained: "I'm going to look for you, he has to follow me, just took the opportunity to test him." ”
"The result?"
Lin Suwen's tone sounded a little careless.
It's more like a small talk without words, which is a precious thing for him, after all, Young Master Lin has always cherished words like gold and doesn't like to talk to people.
I shook my head and said, "He told me that when I was assassinated that day, the scent of plum blossoms I smelled was not his, and their disciples in Xifeng Valley each had a sachet made of plum blossoms, and when something happened in Xifeng Valley, the reason why Mei Liyun didn't call him back was because he felt that he was treating His Royal Highness in Shengjing and didn't want him to be distracted. ”
Lin Suwen stopped talking.
I added: "Indeed, if I were him, I would definitely not do something that I knew would reveal flaws, but I still burned myself, but I suddenly remembered one thing just now. ”
"In the past, there was a murderous demon in the Western Regions, in just two months, he killed seventeen people in a row, the master learned of this, and ordered me to investigate, and it turned out that every time that person killed someone, he had to leave clues on the deceased to find him, you may not believe it, the demon knew that I was looking for him, and he also pretended to be a wandering traveler, and sat with me on a roadside stall and drank tea together."
Lin Suwen frowned slightly: "Why?" ”
I smiled lightly and knocked on the jade flute in the palm of my hand: "If we ordinary people can understand the thoughts of the devil, then the devil is not called the devil, but after he was discovered by me, he once said that it is a blessing to be able to meet me, I think, the so-called killing and killing is more like a game in his eyes, taking human life as a bet, pretending to be smart, to show off something to the world." ”
"Anyway, let's observe for a while."
On the second day, we entrusted the horses to the innkeeper and gave him some extra money as a reward for taking care of our luggage.
The innkeeper was very enthusiastic, and gave us a lot of dried wild goat meat before leaving, the smell was still very strong, and the senior brother couldn't help frowning just by smelling it from afar, although he didn't know what the boss was obsessed with the wild goat, but he was kind, and Lu Weilou and I still accepted it.
Perhaps we were getting closer and closer to Lumei Villa, and along the way, we chatted with the local mountain people, but we heard a lot of news.
Lumei Villa, about 30 years ago moved to the Northern Regions, of course, in order to hide the identity, the plaque outside the villa did not have a few big words written on it, but through the description of the mountain people, it should be Lumei Villa.
According to them, the mountain village is hidden deep in the snow, and the people outside do not know where they are, but every once in a while, people from the village will come down the mountain to buy ingredients.
I once saw a person who thought that his practice had reached the realm of transformation, and he also had the intention of living in seclusion in the mountains, and wanted to stay away from the world, but in the third year after he left, I saw him standing on the streets of Zhongzhou and playing playing and performing arts.
When I met my old friend in a foreign country, I was in tears and told me that it costs a lot of money to live in seclusion, and that he was a hairy warlock, who could not plow the fields or farm, and that even eating was a problem, and that in less than three years, he had spent all his savings and had an extra debt, so he had to pay off the money by performing on the street.
It doesn't matter whether Lumei Villa has money or not, but a mountain villa, dozens of people, are still nested in the ice and snow, can't grow vegetables, can't hunt, if you don't come out to buy from those mountain people, what do you eat every day, you can't all gnaw on ice slag, right?
But from the mouths of the mountain people, they learned that those people had also gone down the mountain to purchase, but in the next ten years, there was no trace, and when they thought that those people had left the northern region, a few days ago, there were traces of mountain people's activities here.
Lin Suwen and I specially asked, the time when those people appeared basically coincided with the time when Senior Sister and Lu Weilou came to the Northern Regions.
In other words, it wasn't until Lu Weilou and his junior sister came to the Northern Regions that those so-called Lumei Villas began to appear.
For this, I can only think of two explanations, one is that my sister was deceived, and the other is that we were deceived by my sister.
These clues, of course, I asked Lin Suwen to investigate behind my sister's back and Lu Weilou, since I came to the Northern Regions, the two of them have watched me closely, especially that Lu Weilou, he will not leave an inch, he can find an excuse to follow wherever I go, fortunately, they have nothing to fear about Lin Suwen, maybe Lin Suwen is usually silent, and he is used to being alone, and they are also used to it.
According to my analysis and Lin Suwen's analysis, more than ten years ago, there must have been an accident in Lumei Villa.
That accident led to the collapse of the whole village of Lumei Villa, and it is also possible that the whole village was relocated, so in the past ten years, the mountain people outside the snow region have not heard the news of them coming out to purchase.
Now, what I especially want to know is whether the senior sister and Lu Weilou took us to meet are the people from Lu Mei Villa, and what kind of relationship they have with Lu Weilou.
Thinking of my junior sister's oath of words and spirits, once there is a conflict, Lin Suwen and I are not their opponents.
Fortunately, there is a senior brother as a companion on this trip, and the oath of words and spirits has no effect on him, so he doesn't have to worry that his junior sister will control his actions, but Lu Weilou's person, what is the depth, I am not sure, I can't let the senior brother follow us on the adventure, I was going to find a reason to break him apart, but I didn't expect that the senior brother was very wooden, and if he didn't explain it to him, he would never be able to avoid that bend.
At the foothold at the bottom of the mountain, when we told him to turn back, the senior brother was stunned and said, "Scarlet, do you mean that Lin Gongzi left his ink pool sword in the previous inn?" ”
It's no wonder that Senior Brother doesn't believe it, even I feel that this reason is too nonsense, after all, Lin Suwen has always been meticulous, and the Mochi Sword is the treasure of their family, and it has always been inseparable from him.
However, they don't believe it and can't help it, this is what Lin Suwen and I originally designed -
Senior brother didn't know about the junior sister and Lu Weilou, if he took the risk to tell him, with his upright temperament, he was afraid of extraneous branches, so I discussed with Lin Suwen and decided to hide it from him first, and then split the senior brother halfway, the senior sister didn't know that we had discovered that she would swear a spiritual oath, so the departure of the senior brother would not arouse their suspicion and jealousy.
But after thinking about it, we couldn't find any reason to separate our senior brother from us, so we could only decide to sacrifice the ink pool in the end.
That sword was naturally deliberately placed in the inn by Lin Suwen.
"How could something so important fall on the inn?"
The senior brother complained angrily: "Lin Gongzi definitely won't be so careless, Scarlet, this matter must be related to you, right?" ”
“……”
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
After a moment of stiffness, he could only laugh dryly: "Senior brother, how should I say this......"
"I thought his sword was very interesting, so I borrowed it to take a look, but I didn't expect that I forgot it when I left, Lin Suwen thought that the sword was still watching, so he didn't ask me for it, and he came and went, no one mentioned it, and it really fell in the inn."
"You, you, the ink pool is the treasure of Lin Gongzi's family, he handed it over to you, just believing that you can collect it, how can you be so rash? If you lose it, I'll see what you pay him! ”
My brother stood up and raised his fist and almost hit me on the head.
I thought to myself, although that ink pool is the treasure of the Lin family, there is only one in the world, no matter which thief steals it, it is a hot potato, knowing that it is the Lin family's thing, and dare to covet it, is it because his life is too long?
But in order not to make the senior brother suspicious, he could only cover his head and joke to him: "Oh, I know it's wrong, if the senior brother goes back now, maybe he can still find it." ”
As he spoke, the senior brother had already packed his things and was ready to get up.
"I'll look for something first, and I'll teach you a lesson when I get back."
The senior brother carried the burden on his shoulders and said, "Without further ado, you go to find that Lumei Villa first, remember to leave a mark on the road, and I will catch up with you as soon as possible." ”
I hummed and said, "There is Senior Brother Lao." ”
Senior brother gave me an angry look again.
Turn around and walk into the snow.
