Chapter 329: Ruins
"The carry-on luggage of the summer solstice, in addition to the necessary silver ticket, the Materia Medica has become a carry-on item in another sense.
When he heard Luo Ying talk about his family's encounter, Xia Zhi had always been interested in a small flower like Blue Snowflake. I have consulted a lot of books, all of which classify blue snowflakes as flowers, and they are not expensive and are common decorative flowers for ordinary people. Moreover, it is usually only circulated in the market in spring and summer, and Luo's improved cultivation method does not seem to have been spread and has been widely used in planting.
There is no mention of blue snowflakes in the Materia Medica, and it is not even mentioned in medical books, in other words, this plant is purely appreciated flowers. Why those rabble are so obsessed with Blue Snowflake, and even go crazy to the point of killing, is a completely clueless unsolved mystery.
Luo Ying went back this time, and Xia Zhi wondered if it was the thoughts of falling leaves returning to their roots? Because he knew that his time was short, he wanted to go back to his hometown while he still had time, which was human nature, but Luo Ying was only in his young age, which couldn't help but make people sigh.
Fortunately, Luo Ying did not look sad along the way, but acted as a tour guide very intimately, introducing the scenery she saw during the trip and the things she was interested in along the way. Sure enough, he has traveled south and north for many years, which is completely different from the peaceful people who only live in a small area like the summer solstice.
On the way, he passed through one town after another, getting closer and closer to Luo Ying's hometown.
The Luo family's estate is located on the outskirts of a bustling town. After not coming back from home for many years, Luo Ying only had a vague impression left in his mind, and he inquired along the way, and was able to determine the specific location under the guidance of the local people.
The older people, when they heard Xia Zhi and Luo Ying inquire about the location of the Luo family's manor, most of them reacted that it seemed that the case back then was a big event, but because they couldn't catch the perpetrator, they hastily dismissed it. After many years, I mentioned it, and only the impression remained.
Xia Zhi was a little worried and paid attention to Luo Ying's emotional changes, but fortunately, he was only faint and didn't have too much sad expression.
The elderly resident who kindly pointed the way asked more.
Luo Ying replied.
Xia Zhi sensitively noticed that the other party seemed to know other relevant information, so he asked.
The older resident replied.
Xia Zhi continued to ask, probably this question was too abrupt, and hurriedly added,
Jumei re-examined Luo Ying and Xia Zhi, and then nodded,
The two thanked the enthusiastic passers-by and followed his instructions to the former site of the Luo family's manor.
Obviously the manor is already in ruins, but there are still people inquiring, and it is the time of the front and back feet. Luo Ying really couldn't think of anyone else who would go to the Luo family manor besides him, so he could only rush over to find out.
Rushing to the outskirts of the city, the flower fields that were originally planted with flowers have now been planted with green crops, and there are large areas of farmland as far as the eye can see, and occasionally farmers can be seen working in the fields. Luo Ying was anxious, the horsewhip almost never stopped, and he wanted to arrive as soon as possible.
Sigh! Luo Ying stopped his horse and turned over and dismounted on the already overgrown stone road. In front of you is the former site of the Luo family manor. Sure enough, as Luo Ying expected, this piece of building was already in a state of complete ruins, the grass and trees were growing wildly, the vines and trees were growing wildly between the ruins and broken walls, and the words on the door were covered by moss. Luo Ying opened it with the blade of his sword, and could vaguely make out a Luo character whose paint had fallen off.
Xia Zhi followed behind Luo Ying, and the two of them walked inside cautiously one after the other.
The buildings of the manor are in disrepair, the wood and bricks are corroded, the collapsed and collapsed, and there are traces of scorching in several places, and you can more or less feel what a tragic baptism it was back then. Luo Ying held his breath and explored the way ahead, according to the news of the passer-by, maybe another person who inquired about the address of the manor was still at the scene. And I don't know what the other party's identity is, and it's not clear whether it's friend or foe, so it's better to be careful.
After a rough turn in the manor, the two of them had already explored all the places except for the pile of ruins where there was nowhere to put their feet, but there was no trace of a third person.
Xia Zhi said.
Luo Ying was a little disappointed, thinking that there would be some unexpected gains. But since you can't touch it, you don't have to be too mediocre and self-inflicted, or just an irrelevant person happens to ask. Luo Ying walked towards an old tree that was growing wantonly, stroked the trunk, and said with some emotion,
Xia Solstice looked closer, and it turned out that there were two cut marks on the trunk, which seemed to be artificially carved.
Luo Ying recalled the scene at that time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xia Solstice picked up a broken tile from the ground and proposed,
Luo Ying was speechless, but Xia Zhi insisted on standing with the trunk on his back, and Xia Zhi took the broken tiles to help Peugeot. Helplessly, there is one thing missing, her height is a hard injury. It's just funny for a short man to give a tall man a sign of height. Fortunately, the hand was long enough to leave a shallow mark on the trunk. Compared to the previous cut, it has indeed grown a lot taller.
The summer solstice marked the mark, threw the broken tiles in his hand behind him, clapped his hands, and said,
I heard a clattering sound behind me, the sound of tiles falling to the ground, and a different sound.
Luo Ying reacted quickly, pulled out the saber in his hand, and flew over to inspect it.
The summer solstice inevitably became a burden, so he hurriedly hid behind a tree and secretly observed.
The other party felt threatened, and immediately pulled out his weapon to receive Luo Ying's first blow, and the two fought with each other's swords.
After a round of fighting, the two people who were fighting pulled away for a distance, and Luo Ying held his sword and asked sharply, "
