Chapter Seventy-Three: The Orchid and the Fox (3)

Lin Yuan came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Luo'er's disgusted face, he didn't panic, and smiled casually: "According to what Deng Nan said, the "Continuation of the Xiang Zhai Lanpu" is not the ancestral inheritance of the Deng family, but Deng Zhiyin's own private acquisition, we can suspect that the origin of this book is related to the Lord of Eagle Valley Valley, this is one of them!" ”

Seeing Luo'er nodded, Lin Yuan continued, "Second, when we were in Fengling, Zhishu looked in the direction of Langu twice, once when you mentioned Langu, and the second time when you mentioned Mr. Langu, I guess that maybe Zhishu followed Deng Zhiyin to Fengling Langu and met Mr. Langu, even-" He looked at Luo'er and said slowly, "Deng Zhiyin may have a lot of friends with Mr. Langu!" ”

Lin Yuan's words were like a big hammer hitting Luo'er's heart hard.

She didn't have time to think about the meaning, and she didn't have time to analyze the possible relationship between Wang Jiehuan's disappearance and Deng Zhiyin, she was now full of pictures of Wang Jiehuan and Deng Zhiyin meeting and knowing each other, talking about the way of orchid art together, and even silently wrote a whole book of "Continuing Xiangzhai Lanpu" for her.

Unbeknownst to her, he meets another person, and they hit it off at first sight, and they share similar interests.

He did for her what he had done only for himself, and even did what he had never done for himself.

"Luo'er?" Lin Yuan shouted to her worriedly.

After he said his inference, Luo'er looked lost and depressed, her face was pale, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lin Yuan called her twice, but Luo'er still didn't respond.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Luo'er woke up and turned her head blankly.

It's the book of knowledge that is back.

Zhishu pushed the door and saw Lin Yuan, he was a little surprised, and was about to speak, when suddenly a gust of wind hit, and his right arm was tightly clamped.

"Deng Zhiyin has known him for a long time, right? "Continuing Xiang Zhai Lanpu" was also hand-copied by him and given to Deng Zhiyin, right? Luo'er tightened her face, glared at Zhishu fiercely, and asked her through gritted teeth.

Zhishu had never seen Luo'er look so fierce, he was shocked and frightened, but he bit his lower lip and didn't say anything.

Not speaking is also a gesture.

Luo'er let go of her hand, her eyes still staring at Zhishu tightly.

"You once accompanied Deng Zhiyin to Fengling Lan Valley, where you met Mr. Lan Gu, Deng Zhiyin hit him off at first sight, and he also gave Deng Zhiyin the long-lost manuscript of "Continuation of Xiang Zhai Lan Pu"!" Luo'er said slowly, as if she had calmed down.

Zhishu lowered his head with red eyes.

"Then tell me, when did they meet? How long have you known each other? Did he reappear after Deng Zhiyin's death? Luo'er asked coldly, her heart was cold.

At that time, he left her in Xueling County without an explanation, and it was not long after Deng Zhiyin's death that he rushed over regardless of the news after receiving the news.

It turned out that in his heart, there was already someone more important than her.

Zhishu's eyes closed, knelt down, and Luo'er looked at her condescendingly.

"It was February of the third year of Yuan Hunt, Deng Niangzi Mu Fengling Lan went to Fengling, got acquainted with Huan Gongzi, Deng Niangzi was assassinated in January of the fifth year of Yuan Hunt, and knew each other for less than two years, after Deng Niangzi died, Deng Dalang found the "Continuation of Xiang Zhai Lan Spectrum", under torture, found that Deng Niangzi and Huan Gongzi had a private relationship, but Huan Gongzi has not appeared, Deng Dalang sent someone to Fengling to visit, and there is no news of Huan Gongzi, Deng Dalang thought that Huan Gongzi was unkind, so he was angry and sent down the people around Deng Niangzi before his deathβ€”β€”"

Zhishu answered one by one, and in the end, there were tears rippling, and I don't know whether I felt sorry for Deng Zhiyin's unladylike encounter, or was frightened by Luo'er.

"He didn't show up?" Lin Yuan groaned, "On the twelfth day of March in the fifth year of Yuanzhen, he suddenly disappeared from Xianhuling, if he didn't go to Huazhou, where would he go?" ”

Luo'er sneered and said, "Just because the Deng family didn't see him doesn't mean he hasn't come-" looked down at the top of Zhishu's head, "Where is Deng Zhiyin buried?" ”

Deng Zhiyin is an unmarried daughter who died horizontally, and she can't enter the ancestral tomb of the Deng family according to the rules, Deng Nan chose another feng shui treasure land with mountains and rivers behind her, and specially built an elegant small garden, and buried Deng Zhiyin in the garden, named "Zhiyuan".

The old servant who watched the courtyard heard that he had come to worship Deng Zhiyin, so he didn't stop them much, and led them to Deng Zhiyin's tomb after a few simple questions.

Deng Zhiyin's tombstone is made of white buttresses from the Jin Kingdom, which is upright engraved with Deng Zhiyin's surname, place of origin, date of birth and death, etc., surrounded by flowers and grass Yin patterns, there are several plates of offerings neatly placed in front of the stele, clean and tidy.

It didn't look abnormal, but Luo'er just glanced at it and fixed her gaze.

With a flick of the left sleeve, the offering in front of the monument was swept aside, as if he did not hear the angry reprimand of the old servant guarding the garden, Luo'er walked up step by step, squatted down, stretched out his right hand, and stroked the carving of Fenglinglan on the lower right corner of the tombstone.

Just by the touch of his hand, he knows that it was carved by that person, the nick is shallow, and the wind bone is contained, Fengling Lan is obviously slender and soft, in his hands, he is always a little more proud than others, but there will be an extra young leaf on the far right, small and small, and the tip of the leaf is slightly drooping.

This is the form of Fengling Orchid that he used to carve only on the sugar rice cake in Fengling's house, which was originally only seen by the two of them in this world, but now it appears on Deng Zhiyin's tombstone and is viewed by countless people at will.

He's been here!

Maybe it's still there!

This thought suddenly flashed in Luo'er's mind, and her body rushed out as if she had her own consciousness.

"Luo'er!" Lin Yuan was so shocked that he didn't even have time to think about it, so he chased him out.

Zhishu is still appeasing the angry old servant.

Zhang Yang looked at Luo'er and Lin Yuan in the direction where they disappeared in a daze, and finally found his voice: "Your landlord is so fierce?" ”

The corners of Mo Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and finally responded: "It's the first time I've seen ......."

Luo'er ran on the streets and paths inside and outside Huazhou City, and the treetops on the walls and trees, and her ears were full of the wind whistling brought by running, as if the whole world was cut off.

He's been here! He's probably always been here!

He came to worship Deng Zhiyin, left his own traces on her tombstone, and he may even have stayed here for Deng Zhiyin, not asking about the world, desperate, just to accompany another person.

He may be near Zhiyuan, or he may be living in seclusion in a corner of the city, or he may be living at the foot of the mountain outside the city.

There were traces of his walk on the land, there was the breath he exhaled in the air, he had stayed under the tree, he had gazed at the dusk here.

Find him! Find him!

Luo'er gritted her teeth, searching for every possibility and impossible, and a wave of grief and indignation surged in her chest, so that she couldn't think, she just wanted to find that person, ask him, ask him-

What to ask him?

Luo'er suddenly stopped, and her heart was full of sadness.

Maybe he didn't have him here at all, maybe he just came once a long time ago, left the mark of that orchid, and then left, he wouldn't necessarily stay here, she couldn't find him at all, what could she ask him? Even if he found it, what should he ask him?
