Shen Yanchu hit his eyebrows with his fingertips, and a ray of colorful and dazzling light was fleeting.

In this regard, Liu Ruyan's eyes were opened, she leaned closer, looked and looked: "What is that light?" ”

Shen Yanchu put down his fingers and looked at her with a curious face: "It's the seven emotions of people." ”

Seven feelings?

"Can people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows still be visible to the naked eye?" She remembered the puppetry, poking her finger at the center of her eyebrow.

In order to see clearly, her pair of eyes turned into cross-eyed, and Shen Yanchu put his hand to his lips and seemed to be laughing.

Liu Ruyan stared at him, and suddenly approached violently to poke his forehead.

Shen Yanchu couldn't help but stiffen, and wanted to avoid her.

"Good, don't move, let me take a closer look." She straightened his face, and her mouth was still patiently coaxing.

He really stopped moving, and there was nothing he could do about her touch: "Not everyone can see the seven emotions and six desires. ”

"Is that so?" Liu Ruyan put down her hand stupidly.

He changed his words: "It's just that when you claimed to be Langzhong, the peasant woman's eyebrows were secretly happy. ”

Liu Ruyan lay on the table, propped her forehead and muttered: "This is strange, could it be that they like Lang Zhong?" ”

Shen Yanchu picked up the chopsticks: "I'll go to the back of the village tomorrow morning to have a look." ”

If those who are missing leave the valley, they will eventually leave traces on the road.

After eating the noodle soup, Liu Ruyan asked the owner of the house for a basin of hot water, took off the deerskin and shoes, patted off all the snow foam on it, and left it to dry.

She soaked her feet in the water and squinted her eyes, her white toes flushing slightly under the hot water.

Shen Yanchu happened to go back to the house, and when he opened the door, he saw her sitting in front of the couch, soaking her feet in a copper basin.

The tiny toes made a splash, and he glanced sideways, only to feel that the ankle was too slender, like a jade carving in the candlelight.

Seeing that she happened to be looking, Shen Yanchu turned his face away and whispered: "I'm afraid that it won't be peaceful at night, I'll go to the front room to keep vigil." ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and closed the door.

The night was spent peacefully.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ruyan didn't find Shen Yanchu after she got up, but she ran into the woman who delivered porridge.

Sister-in-law Lin put the food on the table in the courtyard and looked into the house cautiously.

She asked casually, "Little brother, what about the Dr. Shen who came with you?" ”

Liu Ruyan almost squirted out a mouthful of porridge.

What, Dr. Shen?

If this peasant woman knew that the doctor Shen in her mouth was actually a terrifying devil, how dare she call it so kindly?

"He's gone to the river, and he'll be back later." Liu Ruyan dealt with it casually.

"Went to the river?" Sister-in-law Lin looked surprised, "It's not peaceful outside this village, and there are often bandits, especially the river at the back of the village. ”

Liu Ruyan picked up the steamed bun and asked absentmindedly, "What's wrong with the river?" ”

Sister-in-law Lin was silent for a moment, glanced at the open space outside the courtyard, and finally whispered in her ear: "On the other side of the river, there are female ghosts haunting, but it's scary." ”

Liu Ruyan was almost choked again.

In this winter, the wind howled in the valley like a whimper, which did sound a little terrifying, and she immediately waved her hand: "Maybe you heard it." ”

Sister-in-law Lin was still more serious, arguing with a determined expression: "The slave family not only heard it, but also saw it with their own eyes, that female ghost has no feet!" ”

"When people walk on the riverbank, their feet will be immersed in the water, and from a distance it really looks like they have no feet." Liu Ruyan denied it.

"Yes...... But the woman was clearly thrown into the river and died last year, and her body was swollen at that time, how could she come back alive? ”

Liu Ruyan finally looked at her squarely: "You saw the drowning person come back?" ”

"Yes, the slave family saw it with their own eyes, and the woman is back."

Taiping Village is not big, less than 100 households, but Shen Yanchu only appeared at noon.

"What did you find?" Liu Ruyan stepped forward.

He walked straight into the side house on the west side, and only after closing the door did he speak: "In the poplar forest behind the village, there is indeed a mountain road that leads to the outside of the valley. ”

"So, those people really left the village?"

"I don't see it." Shen Yanchu continued, "Some villagers asked me if I was a medicine merchant or Langzhong, and I replied to the medicine merchant, and they told me that the news about Huang Zhi was wrong, and asked me to leave the village quickly, and said that bandits were rampant outside, and only that mountain road could get out of the valley safely. ”

"I also went to see that road, and there were traces of a fight along the mountain road for a few miles."

Liu Ruyan fell into deep thought: "In this way, the villagers are lying, and the road behind the village is not safe. ”

"That's true." Shen Yanchu responded, "That road is hidden between mountains and rocks and forests, but it is conducive to committing crimes, plus the medicine merchant has carried a lot of property, I am afraid that it has already encountered misfortune." ”

Liu Ruyan looked back and thought carefully: "Last night I claimed to be Langzhong, but the villagers didn't let me out of the village......"

"They need Lang Zhong!" The two said in unison.

"By the way, there is a river behind the village, did you see it just now?" Liu Ruyan relayed what the village woman heard again.

"It's really strange, but there's nothing strange in the world, so you might as well go over and take a look."

"No, no, no." She hurriedly shook her head, "If you want to go, don't take me, I still have to find Bai Zhi'......"

After the half-pillar incense, beside the river, Liu Ruyan stared at a certain demon with a sad face.

Shen Yanchu stood on the surface of the ice, chiseled a small piece of thin ice, threw the silver wire in the ring into the water, and injected a trace of true qi to manipulate the silk thread.

Liu Ruyan retracted his gaze, just that, the emperor is big at dinner.

She went into the woods and gathered some firewood, and when she had set it up, she spread a layer of hay and lit the sparks with matches, waiting for his fish to take the bait.

After less than half an hour, Shen Yanchu withdrew the silver wire and walked to her who was roasting the fire on the shore: "There are no fish in the river." ”

"How come there are no fish?" She was surprised that Taiping Village was built near the water, which relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water.

"I don't know, I've changed several places, but there are no fish."

"That's weird." Liu Ruyan wandered along the river.

She walked along the river out of the village, eventually finding the end of the river outside the poplar forest, which seemed to be blocked by frozen mud downstream.

"What did you find?" Shen Yanchu asked not far away.

Liu Ruyan squatted in the snow and watched, and beckoned to him from afar: "The snow traces here are wrong." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yanchu also looked in the direction she was pointing. On the same flat ground, there were two kinds of snow marks.

She inserted the branches into the snow and measured them individually: "The snow in this area is indeed thinner than in other places, in other words, it is only when the field has been turned over and then snowed for this to happen." ”

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan turned around and found a shovel from nowhere.

Shen Yanchu looked at the shovel in her hand, and his eyes changed.

That's right, it was the one that buried him in the first place.

Liu Ruyan glanced at him and stepped the shovel into the snow with her foot: "Now I know that I regret it, didn't you say you wanted to follow me?" ”

Shen Yanchu's face did not change: "Since you have chosen, you will have no regrets." Although I don't know what to do with the past, but when I first woke up that day, all the past events have been forgotten, but I have a little impression of you. ”

"Can you not be impressed?" Liu Ruyan muttered in a low voice, the long-cherished enemies of the two worlds are still the kind that are entangled to death.

As she spoke, she thrust her shovel into the snow again, and the snow foam was piled aside.

Looking at her slender arm, Shen Yanchu was silent, and finally said, "Let me come." ”

He stretched out his hand, and his slender and powerful hand held the shovel, but he inadvertently touched her, Shen Yanchu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously let go of his fingers.

Liu Ruyan thought that he wanted to repent, so she immediately grabbed his hand and stuffed the shovel into his hand.

There was still her residual warmth on the shovel, Shen Yanchu shook his head slightly, tightened his palms to shovel off all the layers of snow on the ground, and piled it on the side of the clearing.

"The mud is soft and doesn't look like frozen top, it's been turned over in the past." Liu Ruyan leaned down and twisted the soil on her fingertips, "Keep digging down." ”

As he said, he plunged the shovel deep into the soil, revealing what was buried deep in the ground as the soil was turned over.
