God knows how happy Chu Cheng was at this time.

She had been drenched in the rain all night, could not find her direction, was hungry and cold, and was very sorry for her impulsiveness, when she heard someone call her "Mrs. Lin".

The words "Mrs. Lin" sounded so pleasant to her ear for the first time.

Chu Ji held a monstera leaf to block the rain, strode in front of Lin Boqin, and saw that he was wearing a robe, wearing a hat, and his eyes were covered, revealing only a well-defined jawline and thin lips.

Obviously, judging from his pursed lips, he was not as happy as Chu Cheng.

"Li Siniang." He almost bit out a few words between his teeth, "Are you going too far?" How did I explain to you before leaving, and how did you promise me? Now you have let dozens of officials brave the torrential rain and unknown dangers to find you, wasting manpower, material resources, and time! Remember, from now on, I will never condone any of your requests. ”

He scolded him, but Li Siniang didn't make a sound, and he didn't talk to him as usual.

Lin Boqin raised her hat suspiciously, but saw that Chu Cheng seemed to have been fished out of the water, and her wet clothes wrapped around her slender body, looking very weak. She was pitifully holding a turtle back bamboo leaf, and the rain was dripping, because of the long rain, her delicate little face was extremely pale.

Chu Ji knew that she was wrong, she shouldn't think it was foolproof, she shouldn't be too complacent about herself...... Unexpectedly, Lin Boqin's first sentence when she found her turned out to be an accusation of splitting her head and covering her face.

Of course she was angry, but she didn't bother to quarrel with Lin Boqin, so she only lowered her head and said "oh".

Lin Boqin didn't expect to drink her, but when he got such a word, it was like a punch in cotton, and it was like training a stupid student who had never changed his teachings.

The woman in front of her shoulders is shaved and her waist is as simple as she is, and she is delicate as if she is about to faint in the rain for a while. Lin Boqin clearly knew that he couldn't be deceived by her appearance, but he still couldn't help it, raised his hand to take off his robe, and draped it over her.

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment.

Lin Boqin's body temperature seemed to be still on her robe, and it was raining heavily, but she felt that her cheeks were a little hot.

Lin Boqin wore a light cyan straight jacket, and he wore a large hat, but his shoulders were still wet. The light cyan fabric was soaked into a dark green by the rain in a blink of an eye.

"Let's go."

He no longer glanced at Chu Hui, and beckoned the other two officials to blow the whistle and prepare to leave the forest.

Chu Ji hurriedly followed him and gathered his clothes: "Lin Boqin, I'm really not reckless...... That crazy old woman, we met in Pingshan, she smashed your shoulder. And I chased her because of her toes...... Same as Su Yu! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Boqin suddenly paused.

He turned around and twisted his eyebrows: "See clearly?" ”

"It was raining, but I wasn't mistaken."

Lin Boqin stared at her for a moment, turned his hand behind his back, and scolded: "So what? Even if you find out that the case is related, you shouldn't be a woman to interfere. When you chase her, not only can't you catch people, but you also get lost...... Li Siniang, there is a word called 'gains outweigh losses', has your private school teacher taught you? ”

"Taught." Chu Cheng raised a pair of watery eyes, her eyes were resolute, "I also taught a word, called 'Don't miss the opportunity'." ”

If she chases after her, if she catches the crazy old woman, will the case of Li Zhongyi and Su Mei be closed sooner? Does Su Yu not have to be entangled all day long? Chu Cheng only cared about these, and didn't think much about the rest.

"Sophistry."

Lin Boqin heard her start to speak strongly, glared at her unhappily, and walked straight forward.

"Lin Boqin, stop and listen to me."

"What are you going to say?"

"I almost caught her!" Chu Ji tugged at his sleeve, "It's just that I don't know why she disappeared out of thin air!" It's simply not possible. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared ten meters away! ”

Lin Boqin only thought that she was excusing herself, and didn't believe it at all: "Li Siniang, you don't have to lie now, how can people disappear out of thin air, you and I will believe it?" ”

He shook off Chu Hui's hand, looking annoyed.

Chu Ji brushed aside the lush grass, and hurriedly caught up with her: "But, ......" Before her words fell, she suddenly felt that her feet were in the air, and the whole person lost her balance and fell.

"Li Siniang!"

Lin Boqin turned around and squatted down, but saw a big hole hidden in the grass diagonally behind.

Chu Ji's voice came from below: "Lin Boqin, this ...... It seems to be a secret passage dug by people! ”

Lin Boqin did not doubt that there was him, so he summoned two officials, took off his hat and handed it to the two, and ordered: "Stay here, wait for Gu Xiancheng to come, and then send someone down to check together." So saying, he jumped into the hole.

"Think twice, adults!" The two officials were at a loss, so they had to stay at the entrance of the cave and wait for Gu Jingtong's arrival.

Lin Boqin jumped and found that the height of the cave was not deep.

Chu Cheng took off her heavy robe, twisted the rain on her body, and asked, "Is there a fire fold?" ”

Lin Boqin touched it, and took out a blow from his sleeve, and the secret passage suddenly brightened.

The secret passage is not big, and the two of them can't pass side by side, so they can only stand one after the other. Chu Cheng deducted a piece of soil, rubbed it, and said, "It seems that this secret passage is not newly dug, and the soil has dried up." ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect her to be keenly observant, and bowed his head: "Follow me." ”

In the enclosed space, Chu Cheng was still a little nervous, she was a bold person, but at this time, her heart was a little up and down.

Lin Boqin seemed to sense her emotions, he thought for a moment, pinched the corner of his sleeve with his left hand, and handed it to Chu Hui: "Pull, don't get lost." ”

He meant to let Chu Cheng pull his sleeves, but Chu Cheng misunderstood.

She looked at Lin Boqin's slender hand, but she felt even more nervous...... After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and took his palm.

Lin Boqin's body stiffened slightly, he didn't say anything, and led Chu Cheng all the way forward.

Chu Hui's hands were cold, as if they were boneless, slippery and soft. Lin Boqin couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, this feeling was very strange, and he had never experienced it for more than 20 years.

"I said the crazy old woman would disappear." Chu Cheng pursed her lips, "Now you know I didn't lie to you, right?" ”

Lin Boqin, he said "um".

The corners of Chu Hui's mouth showed a shallow arc: "Lord Lin, you wronged me before, should you apologize?" ”

"Apologize?"

"You wronged me for lying."

“…… I'm lying in vain. ”

Chu Cheng was even more proud, she smiled and said, "I'll just say, I could have caught that crazy old woman!" And I suspect that the crazy old woman is pretending to be crazy and stupid. ”

There are too many people in the palace who pretend to be crazy and stupid, and there are seven in the cold palace alone in order to win the emperor's attention.

Lin Boqin frowned when he heard this, obviously disagreeing: "The fault of this matter is still yours, don't change the concept." ”

"How can I have the concept of secretly changing, it's not that I said, you go back and give me a 'female arrest fast', and I will help you in the future case, and I will ensure that you get twice the result with half the effort."

Lin Boqin said: "It's more appropriate to do more work. ”

Chu Ji was still arguing with him, but Lin Boqin suddenly stopped: "Wait." ”

"What's wrong?"

Chu Ji subconsciously clenched his hand, making Lin Boqin stunned.

Lin Boqin brought the fire fold close to the wall of the secret passage, but saw a round and white thing peeking out of the dirt. Chu Cheng raised her hand and touched it, only to feel cold, the texture was rough and smooth, it was difficult to describe: "What is this?" ”

However, Lin Boqin stared at her with an indescribable expression: "That's a long-buried skull. ”

“…… What skulls? ”

"People."

As if she had been electrocuted, Chu Cheng almost jumped up in shock, and wiped her hand on Lin Boqin's body.

Lin Boqin: "......"

Chu Ji also remembered, and her voice became a little trembling: "That...... Pingshan used to be a mass grave, so this secret passage will have skulls embedded here? ”

Lin Boqin bowed: "Not bad." ”

Chu Cheng has always been very bold, and the only thing she is afraid of is ghosts. In the past, the old lady in the palace often told her ghost stories, what water ghosts were terrible and hanged ghosts, but now the more I think about it, the more terrifying I feel.

"Let's go quickly." Chu Cheng urged.

It was the first time Lin Boqin saw her show a timid expression, and he thought it was funny.

The further you go, the wider the passage becomes, but after a while, a rudimentary fence appears in front of you, blocked with stones on both sides.

Lin Boqin handed the fire fold to Chu Hui, bent down to remove the fence, and entered a simple cave.

There was a moldy, broken mat in the hole, with hay underneath, and it looked very dirty. There was a candle on the rough low stool, Chu Cheng hurriedly lit it, and in an instant, the furnishings in the cave became clear. Chu Hui's eyes were sharp, seeing that there seemed to be something hidden under the broken mat, she hurriedly reached out and took it out, but couldn't help but exclaim "ah".

It is a dilapidated paulownia tablet.

"The lotus position of the shepherd of the Xianci Liang clan." Chu Cheng read out the words on the tablet and looked up at Lin Boqin, "Who is Liang Muniang?" ”

Lin Boqin frowned: "I don't know." ”

His eyes fell on the corner of the cave and saw a straw man less than six inches in place. Lin Boqin picked it up and saw that the straw man was full of fine needles, and when he turned it over, he saw a crooked name written in ink on the back of the straw man: Zhu Chengye.

"Who is Zhu Chengye?" Chu Cheng craned her neck and asked.

Lin Boqin still replied, "I don't know." ”

Chu Cheng snorted: "I don't know this, I don't know that, I don't know about paying off the parents of Yuan County." ”

Lin Boqin glanced at her and didn't care.

At this time, Chu Cheng found that there seemed to be something piled up on the other side of the cave, covered with a linen cloth, and there were quite a few of them.

She stepped forward, twisted the corner of the linen, and opened it violently, and suddenly the smell of dirt and fishy came to her face, and in front of her was a pile of white bones!

The gloomy cavern, the bones-laden and claustrophobic space is almost hard to breathe.

Chu Cheng's frightened soul was scattered, and he hurriedly hid behind Lin Boqin, revealing a pair of slippery eyes.

For some reason, Lin Boqin thought it was funny.

He walked up to the pile of white bones, raised his hand and picked up a leg bone to look at it, and said in a light tone: "I'm also afraid, I'm also afraid, pay off the wife of the parent official of Yuan County." ”
