Although Baimu Village is a wilderness village, it is still under the jurisdiction of Yecheng in the south. In Du Sheng's cognition, Yecheng has always been prosperous, there has never been a shortage of materials, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. And Yecheng likes girls, giving birth to a baby girl is a happy thing, for hundreds of years, such a thing as "abandoned baby" has almost never happened in Yecheng.

"So, you even have your own adopted daughter? Don't think that this official doesn't know the strange customs of your wild villages, the burning is in your Gumu Village, and the village chief will light the fire. Du Sheng bent down and looked directly at the village chief with a cold look.

"Spare your life! The grass people really didn't want to kill her, in those sixteen years, people were not grass and trees, and practice was ruthless! The village chief burst into tears, lowered his head and continued: "If the grass people do not calm the anger of the villagers, not only her, but even the grass people's family of ten will suffer!" ”

Du Sheng got up, ignored the village chief, and walked casually in the house, taking a look at the surrounding furnishings in his hands from time to time, trying to unearth some clues.

"Then in the past sixteen years, you can see that she has been abnormal?"

Du Sheng picked up a blue and white porcelain vase and looked at it, identifying it as a fake before putting it back in its place.

The village chief didn't pay attention to what Du Sheng was doing, but just desperately thought about what strange things had happened in the past sixteen years.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something very important.

"Back to my lord! The grass people remembered something! "Since she was twelve years old, she has given us a stone for each of the grass people and her deceased wife, and to this day, there are seven stones. ”

Du Sheng happened to be holding a delicate white jade bottle in his hand, and before he could take a few looks, he stopped, turned his head, looked at the village chief suspiciously, and said, "Stone? ”

The village chief nodded heavily, and raised his hand, pointing to the white jade bottle that Du Sheng held in his hand.

"My lord, this is the bottle you are holding in your hand, and the stones in it are all given by her." The village chief continued, "I don't know where she got these stones, but my deceased wife was reluctant to throw them away before she died. ”

Out of curiosity, Du Sheng opened the bottle without authorization, reached out and pulled out a blood-red stone inside.

Seeing that the stone seemed to breathe, flowing naturally and crystal clear, he saw that the stone was a treasure that only the royal family could possess - glazed stone.

However, in this wild place, how can there be glazed stones? What's more, it's a high-quality glazed stone!

It is understandable that ordinary people like the village chief do not know the glazed stone, but that Qin Rui is not simple.

It's just that the person has been put to death, and there is no trace of him, even if he wants to, he can't find it.

"My lord, the grass people have told the adults everything they know, I hope that the adults will give Bai Mu Village a way out!" The village chief knelt on the ground and moved his knees little by little in front of Du Sheng.

"Yes, but you will no longer be the village head, when the official returns to the imperial city and passes through Yecheng, he will discuss with the local prefect!"

Du Sheng was about to leave the village chief's house, and when he walked to the gate, he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, the official needs to take this bottle of stone for investigation, does the village chief have any objections?"

In the current situation, as long as his life can be saved, he will not hesitate to ask the village chief to go to the soup and fire, let alone a bottle of stones?

"The grass people have no objections, adults can take it if they need it!" The village chief readily agreed.

I saw Du Sheng holding this white jade bottle, without looking back, waving his sleeves and throwing the door away.

Early the next morning.

The sun is particularly bright, and the people in the village get up early to do things, some do laundry and cooking, some go out hunting, logging, all of them are energetic and intensive.

Liuliyue is no exception, she gets up early in the morning and goes to the village chief's house to borrow a kitchen from the village chief.

At first, the village chief was reluctant to do so, after all, the kitchen at home was his deceased wife's favorite place to stay. But when he looked at Liuliyue's face, he suddenly remembered the appearance of his deceased wife, and happened to find that the two were somewhat similar.

Based on this reason, he made an exception to let Liuliyue use the kitchen at home.

Fear of teeth accompanied Liuliyue into the kitchen, she looked at the stove and pot in the kitchen, and recalled the bits and pieces of Qin Rui's life with her adoptive mother in the past.

The villagers peeked outside the village chief's kitchen, only to see that Liuyue was afraid of the teeth, and she was immersed in the dough to make buns. The villagers saw that her method of making meat buns was very skillful, and the method was more similar to the steamed buns of the village chief's deceased wife before her death, which couldn't help but make people suspicious.

After the dough is wrapped in the meat dumplings, she fills the layers of steamers with the raw meat buns, and then she boils the water and starts steaming.

For a long time, the steamer wafted out a burst of fragrance, and the villagers peeking outside the kitchen had never smelled such fragrant meat buns.

Liuliyue carefully sandwiched the steamed meat buns from the steamer to the plate one by one. Dire looked at the fragrant meat bun and almost revealed its original form, but fortunately, Liuliyue reacted in time and picked up a hot meat bun from the steamer and stuffed it directly into Dia's mouth.

"Woohoo! Scald! Scald! ”

The fear of teeth being scalded by the meat buns made the chickens fly and the dogs jumped, and the villagers were very happy to see it.

Liuliyue looked at the fear of teeth so embarrassed and smiled slightly.

After she finished plating, she came to Du Sheng's house with a plate of meat buns with Fear Tooth.

The Red Armor Army guarding the door, as soon as they saw Liuliyue coming, they blocked her way with their spears.

"I wonder what's the girl's business?"

"Well, the little woman made some meat buns, and you, and Master Du, shouldn't you have used it earlier?" Liuliyue cleverly asked Dreadtooth to hand the meat buns he brought to the Red Armor Army guarding the door.

"Thank you, girl, please wait here, and pass it on when you go down."

After a while, the Red Armor Army guarding the door invited Liuliyue into the house. Afraid of teeth and unwilling to see Du Sheng, Liuliyue slowly stepped into the house alone.

As soon as she entered the house, she felt that the demonic power in her body was sucked away again, but the power was the same as before, and it was not strengthened.

She walked towards Du Sheng tremblingly, only to see him sitting on a chair drinking tea and reading a book, while his personal guard stood quietly in the wind.

At this time, her heart was suddenly attracted by a strange force, constantly tugging at her heart, as if calling her. She endured the discomfort of her heart being tugged on, carefully surveying every corner of the room.

It wasn't until her gaze stayed on the sandalwood cabinet beside Sui Feng that the strange power waned slightly.

A white jade bottle was placed on the sandalwood cabinet, and next to the bottle was a blood-red glazed stone.

At a glance, Liuliyue remembered that those blood-red glazed stones were the reason why she had lived in the human race for five hundred years.

Du Sheng saw her standing stupidly in place, thoughtful, so he called her softly: "Miss Yuerin? ”

His call worked very well, Liuliyue came back to her senses all of a sudden, in order not to let Du Sheng see through, she could only continue to act.

Liuliyue breathed a sigh of relief, raised the plate in her hand, and said, "My lord, this is a meat bun made by the little woman herself, the adult shouldn't have used it earlier, right?" So..."

As soon as the words fell, Du Sheng gave Sui Feng a look, and Sui Feng immediately stepped forward to take Liuliyue's plate, and as a matter of course, picked up one of the meat buns and tasted it.

I saw that after he chewed a few bites, he glared at Liuyue coldly, and then put the remaining meat buns in front of Du Sheng.

"My lord, please use it slowly." After the two of them confirmed each other's eyes, they respectfully returned to their original positions with the wind, no longer bothering.

Sui Feng's excessive caution made Liuyue very uncomfortable, but she didn't show it on her face, and only lowered her head silently.

In the past, only the royal family needed slaves to taste food during meals, but this Du Sheng was just a court official, and he was so cautious, which was indeed a bit abnormal.

Du Sheng picked up a steamed bun, the fragrance was tangy, then he took a bite, chewed it slightly, his eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't expect this meat bun to have an endless taste, more interesting than the delicacies of the mountains and seas he usually eats.

"I wonder what Miss Yuerin's plans are for the future? Do you want to stay here, or do you want to go anywhere? ”

In order to quickly stabilize the demonic power in her body, as well as those glazed stones that she is determined to get, Liuliyue must follow Du Sheng, otherwise she will miss the opportunity and regret it.

Liuliyue remembered that the closest town to Bai Mu Village was Yecheng, and it would take at least three days to get there. She was desperate to see if Du Sheng would be willing to send her there.

"The little girl's home is in Yecheng, and she will probably go back these days."

As soon as the words fell, Du Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Liuliyue's whereabouts happened to be the same as himself.

"Coincidentally, you and I just happened to be on the way, so it would be better to go with the official's convoy early tomorrow morning, so that there would be a good response on the road."

"The little girl thanked the adults first." Liuliyue smiled with satisfaction, she didn't expect things to be easier than she imagined.

Although Du Sheng likes to eat the meat buns made by Liuliyue, his expression is still cold, Liuliyue can't see through his expression, and can only keep guessing his thoughts.

He also seemed to know that his attitude made Liuliyue feel confused, so he had to put down the bun in his hand, coughed a few times, and said lightly: "This meat bun tastes good." ”

"If the adults like it, the little woman will retire first."

After speaking, Liuli Yue smiled and retreated.

After sending Liuliyue away with the wind, he instructed the Red Armor Army guarding the door not to disturb anyone on the grounds that "Lord Du is resting".

When he had finished explaining, he peeked out from the door, looked left and right, and only closed the door gently when there was no suspicious person nearby, acting very cautiously.

Du Sheng in the house, he opened a cabinet and took out an imperial post from it, which was the secret summons sent by the saint to him today. He put Huang Ti on the table, thinking about what would happen to the Imperial City to make the Holy Lord so anxious and ask him to leave for the Imperial City immediately.

Sui Feng also looked at the imperial post on the table, and said, "Childe, please forgive your subordinates for being stupid!" This morning, the Holy Lord sent a secret decree to urgently summon Gongzi back to the Imperial City, how could Gongzi still have time to take care of that Yuelin girl? ”

Du Sheng's thoughts were disrupted, he raised his eyes to look at Sui Feng's puzzled expression, and then looked at the last meat bun on the plate, thought about it, then took this meat bun and got up, and stuffed it into Sui Feng's hand with his own hands.

"You can eat this bun too."
