Chu Cheng looked at Lin Boqin and blinked, feeling a little bored.

"I think there's something strange about this case."

Chu Cheng coughed lightly and started talking.

Lin Boqin wrinkled his eyebrows slightly and asked her, "How can you see it?" ”

Because she didn't even go to grab the merit box! But Chu Cheng couldn't say this, she thought about it: "Most of the Qin criminals wanted by the imperial court are extremely vicious. How could this Jade Xuanji only break his leg after meeting Master Xuanming? Did you kill him so that people don't recognize him? Speaking of this, she hurriedly added, "Do you think, when I met that flower thief before, he almost killed all the victims, this Jade Xuanji must be more vicious than the flower thief." ”

Lin Boqin thought carefully for a moment and nodded: "It's okay to guess like this, but maybe Yu Xuanji took the merit box and fled in a hurry, so she didn't kill her." Moreover, it was impossible for Yu Xuanji to kill all the monks who had seen her in such a short period of time. ”

"Do you remember that little novice said that the monks of the entire temple were in a hurry to put out the fire, and he and Master Xuanming had witnessed Jade Xuanji?"

Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this.

Chu Cheng said again: "Anyway, I think there is something wrong with this case, let's go to Bishui Temple to take a closer look and then make a conclusion." ”

Lin Boqin nodded slowly.

But he quickly reacted and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say to see the scenery?" ”

Chu Cheng smiled "hehe", but it was perfunctory with haha.

Lin Boqin was helpless, knowing that she had decided to go to Bishui Temple with her. On second thought, the wind on the mountain is strong, the snow is thick and the road is slippery, in case you are not careful...... Well, it's safer for her to follow her.

***

Yang La waved his whip, and in less than two hours, he arrived at the foot of Xixia Mountain.

The snow stopped at this point, but the steps of Mt. Xixia were covered with snow, and there was a danger of slipping if you were not careful.

Lin Boqin asked Yang La and Chu Cheng to wrap a piece of cloth around their feet, and the three of them slowly walked halfway up the mountain. The scenery along the way is not interesting, the mountains and snow are remnants, the sky is white, and the branches of the dead trees are hung with ice rime, and even the heat can be instantly cooled.

Chu Shen's hand stove was already warm, she held it in her hand and played with it, and said boredly: "I don't know how long it will take to climb to reach Bishui Temple." ”

If she was alone, she would have disappeared a long time ago.

Lin Boqin was slightly panting, he raised his eyes to see the snowy steps of his head, and stopped to breathe, "An hour or so." ”

Chu Cheng sighed, but she didn't want to answer.

Lin Boqin looked back at this time, she lowered her head to play with the hand stove, and didn't look at her feet at all.

Just as she was about to scold her a few words, she saw Chu Cheng's hand slip, and the bronze flower hand stove rolled to the ground, her body shook, and she almost wanted to stand unsteadily, Lin Boqin was shocked in his heart, and with a long step, he had quickly reached out to grab Chu Hui's wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"Li Siniang!"

His shocked and angry voice sounded, and Chu Cheng was still a little inexplicable.

Why is Lin Boqin so much moving? Could it be that the copper flower hand stove is very expensive?

No, she obviously heard Xi Du say that it was less than seventy yuan to buy three!

"Walking and looking at your feet, what are you in a daze? With such a steep slope, can you fall down? Lin Boqin glanced at the long steps behind him, the cliff on the left and the cliff on the right, and suddenly felt palpitations, but instead of letting go of Chu Ji, he unconsciously hugged her tighter.

Chu Cheng was overwhelmed by him, her eyelashes were almost touching his chin, and the newly-born cyan stubble could be clearly seen, with distinct roots.

The tip of his nose smelled the ink on his body, Chu Cheng's heart jumped slightly, and the words that he originally wanted to refute were swallowed into his stomach, and he bit his lip and smiled: "Husband is so worried about me?" ”

Her tone was playful and coquettish, and Lin Boqin suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly let go of her.

The roots of his ears were red, but his face was extremely serious: "Don't talk about him left and right, did you hear what I said to you clearly?" ”

Chu Cheng held back a smile and nodded again and again: "It's clear, you have to look at your feet when you walk, otherwise if you fall down, your husband will become a widower at a young age." ”

"Poof!"

Yang La, who was watching the excitement on the side, couldn't help laughing.

Lin Boqin glared at him, and Yang La immediately stood up straight, not squinting.

Chu Cheng smiled and looked obedient, even if Lin Boqin wanted to talk about her, he couldn't say anything serious, so he had to give up. Only this time, he walked ahead, but he always looked back at Chu Cheng, for fear that she would fall down the mountain if she didn't have a long heart.

Chu Ji was stared at by him, who climbed a mountain and turned back three times in one step!

There was no way, when Lin Boqin turned around again, Chu Ji simply raised his left hand and grabbed his sleeve.

Lin Boqin was stunned, but he didn't say much, and walked straight up, no longer looking at her.

However, he didn't look at it, but Yang La kept watching.

Chu Ji swept it with her afterglow and found that Yang La was looking at her hand holding Lin Boqin's sleeve suspiciously.

Could it be that Yang La saw that something was wrong? is obviously a husband and wife, and they have to pull their sleeves when they go up the mountain, which looks very alienated......

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was such a possibility, so in order to make Yang La not doubt it, she simply quickened her pace and stood side by side with Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin was looking at her sideways, and he felt a cold and smooth hand holding his palm. That hand was obviously very cold, but the heat burned all the way from his palm to his heart, pounding.

Chu Hui's face was as usual.

She stepped forward and explained to Lin Boqin in a low voice, saying that she was afraid that Yang La would suspect Yunyun, and with her calm tone, Lin Boqin's beating heart gradually calmed down.

He lowered his face and said, "Why do you care about other people's eyes? ”

Who knew that Chu Cheng replied confidently: "I don't care about others, I care about you." Yang Lahu Yu has the biggest mouth in the county government, if he finds out that you and I are estranged, I can't figure out how to arrange you in the county government! She looked at Lin Boqin with a look of disbelief, and hurriedly continued, "In case they say behind their backs that you are 'not pleasing to your wife' and 'you are being snubbed by your wife,' won't the majesty of the county order of Qingyuan County be greatly reduced?" ”

“…… Nonsense. ”

It took a long time for Lin Boqin to hold back these words.

But he didn't shake off Chu Cheng's hand, and even hesitated for a moment, wrapping her soft and slender palm tightly into his palm, unwilling to let go.

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, let him lead him, lowered his head and pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yang La, who was behind him, looked at the intimacy between the adult and the lady, but he only had a cold knife at his waist, and suddenly felt sad. However, he looked at Chu Cheng's hand again, thinking that the green jade bracelet was really good-looking, and he went back to buy one for his wife!

An hour later, the three of them finally touched the gate of Bishui Temple.

In the past, the novices were guarded at the gates, but since the fire broke out, the temple gate was closed, and there was still a lot of dust left behind by the fire at the door, and no one cleaned it.

Yang Ladang walked over first, raised his hand and patted the door, and after a while, the temple door was opened a crack, and a novice's bald head was poked out, and he apologized: "Donor, our temple is closed, and you want to go to Daci Temple in Fengshui County with incense." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to close the door, but Yang La hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "Don't don't, we're not here to make incense, we're here to investigate the case." ”

Hearing this, Na Shami's body stiffened, and he looked at him suspiciously, but saw that he was carrying a big knife in the yamen and a soap boot on his feet, so he immediately reacted and hurriedly opened the door: "It turned out to be an adult in the county, please come in quickly." ”

Yang La briefly introduced the identities of Lin Boqin and Chu Mi to Na Shami, and Shami nodded again and again: "It's good that the adults are here, please be sure to catch Yu Xuanji quickly." ”

Chu Ji next to her turned dark.

Because she didn't want to see her, Chu Cheng deliberately looked at the monk more.

He was wearing a long monk's robe in an earthy yellow jacket and a coarse scarf around his neck, which looked quite warm. Chu Cheng thought of the one named Qinghui, who always wore thin monk's clothes on a cold day, and couldn't help asking: "This master, I heard that this fire has caused very heavy losses in the temple?" Don't even have winter clothes? ”

Na Shami turned around, thought for a while, and then said seriously: "The clay sculptures of the temple have been burned a lot, and there are still a few monks' houses that need to be renovated, and there is nothing else to lose." But the brothers in the temple have to eat fasting, and they have no money to buy fresh vegetables, so they are eating sweet potatoes these days, and they don't know when they will be able to survive until the beginning of spring, and there will be a harvest in the vegetable garden. ”

Chu Cheng let out an "oh", carefully observed the surroundings, and did not ask again.

The novices took them to the monastic house where the merit boxes had been kept.

This is the senior brother of Master Xuanming, where Master Xuande once lived. After Master Xuande passed away, this place was specially vacated as an accounting room. The room is simply furnished, with only one window open and facing southwest.

Lin Boqin raised his hand and pushed the window, and the temperature in the room plummeted. What catches your eye is the mountainside style of Xixia Mountain, with snow-covered forests, misty clouds and smoke, and cold winds rushing in like heavy snow, blowing on people's cheeks, like a knife scraping.

Chu Cheng shuddered, hurriedly closed the window, and muttered, "It's so cold." ”

Lin Boqin didn't know what he thought, and his expression changed slightly.

He turned his head to look around the room and asked, "This room has been cleaned?" ”

"Although Master Xuande went to the Western Bliss, the house was cleaned every day and kept spotless. ”

Lin Boqin pondered for a moment and then asked, "On the day of the incident, who was responsible for cleaning this place?" ”

Shami frowned, thought for a long time before saying, "The monks in the temple except for the abbot all take turns to clean, who is it that day, and I have to ask the other senior brothers." The matter was so big that Shami didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he bowed to Lin Boqin, "Your Excellency, please wait a while, the poor monk will go and inquire about it." ”

When the novice was gone, the room fell silent again.

Lin Boqin looked through the room carefully, Chu Cheng had a small abacus in his heart, so he suddenly covered his stomach: "I'm not feeling well, I want to go to the thatched house." ”

Lin Boqin glanced at Yang La at the door, frowned, and said casually: "There are outsiders, are you more reserved?" ”

Chu Cheng couldn't help laughing, she stepped forward, and a pair of bright moon eyes blinked: "Oh, it turns out that Yang La is an outsider...... Are you my insider? ”

“……”

Lin Boqin's tense face burned slightly, and the hand in his sleeve was shaken.

Chu Cheng estimated that he would not answer with a shallow face, so the corners of his mouth curled, and he couldn't help but laugh and went out.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and just crossed the threshold when she heard a low but firm voice behind her: "Yes." ”

She was suddenly shocked, and when she looked back, she saw Lin Boqin with his back to her, carefully looking at the Buddhist scriptures on the desk, as if she had not spoken at all.

Chu Cheng pouted in frustration.

…… Well, she must be hallucinating.
