In ancient times, if you wanted to meet someone, you had to pack your bags and set off. Even if you walk for several nights, climb several mountains, cross several rivers, come to him/her and say a few short words, lie down in the rice fields together, look up at the stars. Then they said goodbye with their hands, crossed several rivers, climbed several mountains, and walked for several nights. Untied his bag, he fell alone in the rice paddy field, looking up at the stars. Dream and think about him/her slowly until you die.

Bodhidharma Mountain.

The East China Sea, the setting sun, and the setting sun, like freshly cast bronzes, rush along the horizon and sprinkle on the spindle-shaped hull of the "Mr. Sai", dyeing the copper coins in the round sky into gold coins.

The airship was suspended over the hillside of the island, and Qin Beiyang was the first to get out of the pod and climb down the hanging soft ladder. When his feet jumped to the ground, overlooking the rocky sea of Dharma Mountain, he saw a girl wearing a Western schoolgirl uniform.

She ran with her skirt in both hands, her wide-brimmed hat blown away by the wind, spinning like a small golden point of light and flying towards the setting sun, her curly black hair flying in all directions, like a galloping rose.

The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing. Seeing a gentleman, don't you like it?

"Anna!"

Qin Beiyang hugged her, but he took half a step back, a thousand words, I don't know where to start? Only then did she realize that she had come to report her funeral.

Ouyang Anna's fist beat his chest, she babbled a lot of nonsense, tears rolled in her eyes, and finally asked: "Qin Beiyang!" Did my father send you to pick me up? ”

"Your Daddy ......"

Before the words fell, the soft ladder under the pod climbed down another man, wearing a long gown, Ye Ke couldn't pout his top hat. Ah You followed closely, and Ye Ke could not hold her on the ground.

Qin Beiyang didn't dare to answer Anna's question, and looked up at the airship hanging in the air: "What should I do with nine colors?" ”

The pod poked out the head of a young beast, followed by most of its body.

Ah You shouted: "Don't jump!" ”

The sea surface reflects the waves of the setting sun, making the nine colors so colorful that everyone can't open their eyes.

Only Qin Beiyang, he saw a flying beast, between the sea and the sky, drawing a rainbow version of the arc.

Nine colors fell to the ground, rolling like a puppy, shaking his head and tail, but unscathed.

Ouyang Anna rushed before Qin Beiyang, hugged Jiu Se, kissed its red mane, like an old friend who had been reunited after a long absence.

Above them, an American technician poded out of the pod and waved goodbye. The airship could not stay on the island and had to return to Shanghai by the same route. The copper coin pattern in the round sky rose into the sky, re-turned the propeller, and flew in the direction of the setting sun.

Qin Beiyang touched the nine colors and watched the "Mr. Sai" melt on the bloody horizon of the remnant sun.

"Are they all your friends?"

Anna obediently greeted Ye Kenan and Ah You. Qin Beiyang first introduced Ye Kenan, the style of a famous detective in the capital, no matter how big girl or little daughter-in-law touches it, they will all throw themselves to the ground. Ah You replied timidly, and wanted to shrink behind others, but Anna grabbed her hand: "What a beautiful little sister!" ”

When it was dark, Ouyang Anna led them up the mountain to the stone house under the lighthouse. Although she is a young lady from Dharma Mountain on the sea, she was born on the island after all, she lit firewood and turned on the oil pot, and Ah You also came to help, and the two girls made a dinner at sea.

After spending most of the day on the airship, Qin Beiyang was already hungry and ate a lot of crabs, kelp, octopus and mussels, all of which were ingredients that he had never eaten before. Even Ye Kenan, a famous detective in the capital, praised the seafood delicacies on this island again and again.

After being full of wine and food, Ouyang Anna asked the question again: "Is my father okay?" The day he ordered me to return to the island, I was worried about him. ”

Qin Beiyang was still hesitant, and Ye Kenan generously told the truth: "Miss Anna, Mr. Ouyang is no longer alive. ”

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Anna was silent for only a moment, and then replied calmly: "I guessed it!" He had already had a premonition that something big was going to happen, but he didn't know which day would come. He sent me to this isolated island so that I could escape this calamity. My father said that a man can die, but he can't escape. He preferred to stay at home and wait for those people to arrive. And he understands that his daughter Anna, as long as she lives in this world, will avenge her father. ”

Ye Ke couldn't help but admire: "Ouyang Sicong has a daughter like you, under the nine springs, you can look at it!" ”

"Anna, now Qi Yuanshan and I have become suspects in killing your father, and the whole of Shanghai is plastered with a bounty warrant with my photo." Qin Beiyang simply asked her to decide for herself, "But Ah You can prove it for me......"

"No need to explain!" She blocked Qin Beiyang's mouth, "If you were guilty, you wouldn't come here with Inspector Ye." ”

"Qin Beiyang came to the island this time, firstly, to report his funeral to you, secondly, to avoid being wanted in Shanghai, and thirdly, to clear his innocence with you." Ye Kenan said in his place, "I am an agent in the capital, and I have no jurisdiction in the Shanghai Concession. However, this island is a territory under the direct jurisdiction of the Republic of China, and in the name of the Minister of Internal Affairs, I can investigate Ouyang Sicong's case. ”

"Tonight, if you don't dislike it, please live in this stone house." Ouyang Anna turned around and said to Ah You, "Sister, you can sleep in the same room with me." ”

Naturally, Qin Beiyang and Ye Ke could not sleep in the same room, and the nine colors curled up at his feet. The old house of the Ouyang family was in disrepair, except for Anna's bedroom, everything else was dilapidated and ventilated on all sides. Two men, a young beast, huddled in a large mosquito net, slept on their feet.

Qin Beiyang is a northerner, and he has also lived in the imperial mausoleum underground palace, and he has seen the snowstorm on Taihang Mountain, and he lives on this isolated island in the East China Sea tonight, but his face is full of snot from the cold.

The cold of the south, the slightest bite, penetrates deep into the bone marrow, like a knife cutting and pricking a needle, making people have nothing to hide. There is no charcoal basin, let alone a fire kang, so you can only rely on body temperature to dispel the cold. Ye Kenan was also shivering from the cold, but fortunately, the nine colors were shining, which surprised the famous detective in the capital.

The first time he slept with the tomb beast, Qin Beiyang felt that he had returned to the underground palace and become the emperor in the coffin, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. I remembered that half a year ago, in the mausoleum of Yuan Shikai in Taihang Mountain, the little wolf he adopted was finally killed under the bayonet of the pigtail army. This time he swore that he would never leave his friends again, whether it was a wolf or a small town grave beast.

Unable to sleep, Qin Beiyang quietly got out of bed, and Jiuse immediately raised his head. He put his finger on his lips and let Jiu Se stay on the bed, afraid that without its heat, Ye Kenan would be frozen to death.

Walk out of the stone house and come to the top of Midnight Mountain. He circled around the base of the lighthouse and found a small door, which led up a spiral staircase to the top floor.

At the top of the lighthouse, the bright light almost blinded the eyes, and the electric current made a humming sound, overshadowing the wind on the top of the mountain.

Someone screamed, and Qin Beiyang's crotch was kicked.

Hurt!
