The summer breeze is blowing, the cicadas are chirping, and the clouds are galloping on the official road.

It's been twelve days since Yun Yi left the capital.

As he continued to move south, Yun Yi's mood became more and more excited. He thought of the broken Taoist temple, and remembered the Qingxu Daoist. I remembered the hard brother.

The two of them have gone to the battlefield in the north, are they okay now?

Yun Yi was a little worried.

A majestic figure appeared in front of him, and it was Yunzhou City. Looking at the outline of the city from afar, Yun Yi thought of the unlucky Meng Qiuyan.

Is she still alive now? Has she escaped Yun Shu Pavilion's calculations? Yun Yi doesn't know.

He didn't stay in Yunzhou City, and drove his horse directly to Bazhou City. Black Pine Ridge is a must-see.

Looking at the blackened pine forest from afar, Yun Yi remembered the fire last year and the mysterious man in black. Who the hell is he, is he from Yunshu Pavilion?

Yunyi has nowhere to guess. He hated Black Pine Ridge, this bandit's den that looked like cow dung.

Fast horses rushed into Black Pine Ridge. Yun Yi's expression became tense, and his nerves tensed. But to Yun Yi's surprise, until he came out of the Black Pine Ridge, he didn't see a single mountain bandit, as if the mountain bandits were taking a nap.

It's really hot. No wonder the bloody atmosphere on the official road in the Black Pine Ridge is so strong.

In front is Bazhou City, two hundred miles away from Black Pine Ridge. There were two little girls in the city, both named Yunduo.

When Yunyi entered the city, it was already dark, and the air was still stuffy, which was very uncomfortable. If you go to a restaurant or tea shop to take a break, it should be more comfortable.

Yun Yi went to a green building.

As soon as Yun Yi appeared, the little guy in the Qinglou greeted him with a smile on his face, and greeted him very warmly.

Yun Yi handed over a tael of silver and ordered, "Take care of the horse." ”

After speaking, he walked into the flower hall on the first floor. The girls who were showing off their flowers, seeing that Yunyi's face was white and tender, rushed forward one after another.

Yun Yi looked left and right, took out two taels of silver, handed it to a girl, and said with a cold face: "Go and invite your mother out, the kid has something to ask." ”

Seeing this, the girls shook their handkerchiefs and walked away in a huff.

Yun Yi waited for a while, and then saw a half-old slowly walking down from the upper floor. She is almost forty years old, but she still has the charm. A light gauze coat wraps around the body, revealing a pink-white neck. A pair of treasures on his chest swayed, as if he wanted to break free from the restraints.

Yun Yi only glanced at it, and then felt his mouth dry and hurriedly looked away.

"Little official, what is the important thing you want to do with the slave family?" The old bustard's voice was soft, and his eyes were like silk, and he swirled around Yunyi's body.

Yun Yi's cheeks were red and hot. He bowed and saluted, "Hello ma'am, I want to see the clouds." ”

"Clouds?" the old bustard stared at Yun Yi, her eyes full of vigilance: "Who are you?"

"I was entrusted by someone to send a hundred taels of silver tickets, and I wanted to hand them over to her personally. Yun Yi opened his mouth and lied.

"By whom, how do you know she's here?" said the bustard's voice.

"I am from the capital, and I am entrusted by Qian Zhuangzhuang, the son of the head of the household department. Yun Yi simply brought out a great god.

"Hubu Shangshu?" The old bustard pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, son, please follow me upstairs." ”

Yun Yi was in a room on the second floor and saw Yun Duo. She is learning the piano, and it is estimated that she will be a Qingqi person in the Qinglou in the future.

Yun Yi handed over the silver ticket first, and in the little girl's hesitant gaze, he explained: "Entrusted by a friend, I sent it to you, so keep it for you." ”

"Thank you, brother. The clouds smiled sweetly.

When Yun Yi heard the word 'brother', he couldn't help but tremble all over. That's what Xiaomei used to call herself.

Yun Yi gossiped with the little girl for a while, and then took off her shoes. The little feet are very clean, white and tender. Yun Yi sighed in disappointment.

......

Leaving the Qinglou, Yun Yi took a look at the sky and saw that it was not early, so he had to stay in an inn. After a hearty meal, he returned to his room and continued his practice until dawn.

After breakfast, he hired a carriage and rushed to Hongyuanwai's house.

Yun Yi very respectfully asked the porter to hand over the visit post to Hong Yuanwai. When he went out to greet him, he was a housekeeper who claimed to be surnamed Song.

Steward Song already knew Yun Yi's intention, so he took him directly to the backyard and met the maid named 'Yunduo'.

The little girl's face is a little dark, her skin is dark yellow, I don't know if she has a disease or poor nutrition.

Yun Yi secretly handed over the hundred taels of silver tickets, but the little girl was so frightened that she retreated.

"Take it and take off your shoes. Yun Yi said softly.

The little girl took the silver ticket in a reserved manner, hid it in her chest, and then took off her shoes. Yun Yi shook his head in disappointment again.

After leaving from Hong's house, Yunyi went to Qinglou to get a horse, left Bazhou City, and rushed to the four villages of 'Falling Flowers and Flowing Water'.

Falling flowers and flowing water is the homonym of the surname, and the four villages are at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, sixty miles southwest of Bazhou City.

When Yunyi arrived at Qingfeng Mountain, the morning sun had just overflowed the mountain. The gauzy white mist kept tumbling, and slowly dissipated under the urging of the sun.

Yun Yi saw three little girls with the same name in the village. The owner of the village said that these three little girls have been in the village since they were born and have never gone out.

Yunyi returned in defeat again.

For the next eight days, the cloud wings kept heading south, but slowly. Along the way, he saw twenty-three 'clouds'. It wasn't until this point that Yun Yi figured it out. Not all of these little girls are surnamed Yun, and 'Yunduo' is just a code name.

The little girl he had seen before was not the person he was looking for.

Yun Yi finally arrived at Liangzhou City. Looking at this ruined city, he thought of last winter. From here, I followed the caravan and went all the way north. It's been almost eight months and I'm finally back.

There has been a change in itself, but the city is still dilapidated. The cloud wing still continued to the south.

He saw a few more 'clouds'. They live either in villages or deep in the mountains. But they ...... Yun Yi could only sigh.

Yun Yi finally returned to the Taoist temple.

After an eight-month absence, Yunyi saw it again, and his heart was still irrepressibly excited. The Taoist temple is even more dilapidated, and the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans inside have not been stolen by anyone.

There is dust everywhere, but there is no trace of life anymore.

Yun Yi left again with tears in his eyes. Whether he can come back in this life, Yun Yi can't say for sure.

There are still 700 miles to go, and Yunyi's journey to find relatives has come to an end. Yunyi was looking forward to it, but panicked even more.

The next stop is an extremely remote cave, and the nearest tile kiln village is also thirty miles away. The priests of the Temple of Origin stumbled upon it while preaching. There lived a father and daughter, and life seemed to be very difficult.

Yun Yi bought two sets of clothes and some daily necessities in Wayao Village, and drove over on foot without riding a horse.

Nameless mountain, mountain has no name. The missionaries gave it a name: Bald Mountain.

There are no plants on Bald Mountain, not even a root grass can be seen, and there are stones everywhere.

There is not a single resident in its vicinity. At the foot of the mountain, there are rocks rolling down from the mountain, and weeds grow in the rocks. Among the weeds, there are snakes, there are rats, and there is a path that is not very clear.

The road leads to the back of the mountain. There is a cave behind the mountain.

Before Yun Yi could get closer, he smelled a burnt smell and a strange smell of meat.
