A snowstorm fell for a few days, dotting the entire northern land with a little silvery white.

In the wind and snow, a carriage came from the north, and Bazhou City was about to be seen.

The driver of the car was a middle-aged man who was close to confusion, with dark skin and a sturdy figure, with the simplicity of a farmer's child, who did not feel cold in the wind and snow, but on top of his frowning brow, snowflakes fell on it and condensed into ice chips, showing that his mood was not very good.

Not far behind this carriage, a white horse seemed to be the same color as a snowflake, if it was about to leave, like a shadow.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Bazhou City, the person behind him had been following him, not only was the coachman and man not in a good mood, but the person sitting in the carriage had a somewhat gloomy face.

"Uncle Dumbfounded, we won't enter Bazhou City, you can take us to Silver Leaf Town first!" said a very calm voice from the carriage.

After the driver was stunned, he was slightly stunned and did not answer, and then a middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Stunned baby, let's go to Silver Leaf Town first!"

"Young Master, did the people from the Orthodox Sword Sect have bad intentions and have been following us for several days?"

In the carriage, sitting in the group were Nie Lin, Gu Menghan and Liu Chengang, who had returned from the Sword Beast Forest.

Liu Chengang said: "I will go to Yinye Town in a while, and I will naturally see it!"

The baby was silent and drove silently.

After a short while, the carriage passed by the side of a bare wooded path and entered a large road outside Silverleaf Town.

When I arrived at the street in the middle of the town, I saw the vitality of a few furniture shops in front of them, and the sound of chisels making wooden tools was faintly heard, which made people feel that this town was still popular.

Gu Menghan lifted the window of the car, looked at the scene in the town, frowned, and after lowering the curtain, his face was frosty.

Liu Chengang saw her unhappy expression and said, "What's wrong?"

Nie Lin said: "It turns out that there are a lot of residents in this town, but now there are few people, so it must have found something that made most of the people in the town move away!"

Liu Chengang didn't ask again, and after a while, the stunned baby drove to the end of the road behind the town according to the position Nie Lin had explained, and then let the carriage stop firmly on the snow.

He glanced ahead, but sighed and said, "Two young ladies have arrived, alas, ......"

Nie Lin stepped out of the carriage first, and he wondered why this stunned uncle sighed, when he turned his head and saw that Gu Menghan's home was already a scorched earth and broken tiles, burned to the ground, and the medicine garden was also barren, his face changed again and again, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

After getting into the carriage immediately, he saw Gu Menghan put down the curtains, although his expression was very calm, the frost on his face and the coldness made him feel the anger and sadness in her heart.

"Let's go back to the academy with me first!" Nie Lin looked at Gu Menghan and said.

"I want to go over and have a look!"

Saying that, Gu Menghan got out of the carriage and walked back, Nie Lin had no choice but to follow the carriage, and when he passed by the medicine garden, he saw Gu Menghan's body trembling, there were many flowers and plants that she and Gu Zhiqiu had worked so hard to transplant, and now they were in a mess, barren and decadent, and the traces of man-made destruction were very serious, which showed how angry she was in her heart.

Walking to the scorched earth and gravel, Gu Menghan swept the surrounding snow with a branch, as if looking for something in the broken ruins.

"What are you looking for?"

Nie Lin also explored on the side, picked up a few still intact apparatus used by the pharmacist to concoct medicines, and saw that Gu Menghan didn't say a word, cleaned out a place, and lifted up a stone slab on the ground, and saw that there was a pot of 'illusory purple dizzle' that she had been carefully cultivating.

It's just that this potted plant has died.

However, Gu Menghan saw that it was still there, and the gloomy look on her face eased a little, she took out the flower pot, carefully rummaged through the dry soil with a dead branch, and after taking out two hard pieces of mud like stones, she carefully put them away.

Nie Lin saw that it must be the root left by this illusory purple distiller, so he asked, "Can you still use him to plant it again?"

Gu Menghan said: "These two roots are exactly what I need, he can't be planted as seeds, grandma is right, a pharmacist, can't be too persistent about a material that will be discarded at any time, as long as it meets the demand, I see this dead violet today, I understand the truth in grandma's words, this fire can be regarded as a complete end!"

Nie Lin seemed to hear the voice: "You know these things, who did them?"

"Let's go see Mr. Wangqiu!"

Gu Menghan turned around suddenly, and no longer cherished the place where she had lived for two years, and after saying something to Nie Lin that made him scratch his head, he walked away first.

Liu Chengang inquired about the news from the only few townspeople at this time, and then he also came over and said to Nie Lin: "The people in the town said that a fire here broke out one night, and three townspeople died at home that night, and then the next day, there were people in the town who died of strange poisoning, a total of eleven people died, so the townspeople didn't dare to stay here, thinking that it had something to do with what happened here, so they left, and only some refused to leave, investigated the cause, and finally found a poisonous corpse in the mountain behind the town caused by polluting the water source......"

"Knowing that there is no one, it is also a lack of virtue to burn other people's houses!" muttered to the stunned baby, turned the carriage around, and after a few people got into the carriage, they drove towards Tianlu Academy.

......

At this time of the year, most of the students of the academy have gone home on vacation, and few people will live here except for some people who stay on duty.

When the carriage drove to the gate of the academy, after Nie Lin got out of the carriage, he saw Su Bozao at the door, looked at him with some surprise, and said, "Boy, why are you only coming back now, I remember that you only took three months off?"

Nie Lin didn't explain anything, he did take a three-month leave, but he didn't expect to fall into the abyss, and then he was trapped in the valley, he originally promised to participate in the Sword Boy Contest in Xiazhou on behalf of the academy, but now he broke his promise, and he was somewhat worried in his heart.

Seeing Nie Lin's expression, Su Bo didn't say much, but said, "It's good to come back safely, Mr. Lu has to come to the academy every day to wait for your news, and now it happens to be there, don't forget to go!"

After Uncle Su opened the door, when Nie Lin entered the door, he asked again, "Uncle Su, is Mr. Wangqiu still in the academy?"

"Alas......" Su Bo suddenly sighed, and when Nie Lin heard this, his heart tightened, and he said, "What's wrong?"

Su Bo said: "Soon after you left, Mr. suddenly became seriously ill, Mr. Lu invited a doctor to come and see, saying that it was difficult to treat his heart disease, and he was very sick, you are his only student, after seeing Mr. Lu, let's go to the Lu Mansion to have a look!"

Nie Lin quickly stepped into the academy, and Gu Menghan went in together, but Su Bo looked at her in surprise and didn't say anything.

......
