There is a girl selling flowers in a basket under the teahouse, and when the window is opened, the strong smell of gardenias fills the whole room.

Yun Qi clasped his arms in his hands, leaned lazily on the edge of the windowsill, and watched the carriage in which Yu Fangjing was riding slowly disappear from the end of the alley.

He chuckled and rolled his eyes: "This slippery head, not only do you want to sell it well in front of us, but you don't want to offend Xue Tai like this, and you can transfer the Zhou family's case to me along the way, killing three birds with one stone." ”

Lu Anran fed a sip of herbal tea into his mouth, and his tongue was slightly bitter, "Listening to the prefect's tone, it seems that the destruction of the Zhou family has something to do with what they are doing now." ”

Let's be clearer, such as entanglements of interests.

Steward Zhou said that Zhou Hou was going to take the whole family to escape, judging from the salute that the Zhou family packed up, this was true. If it wasn't Yaksha asking for his life, then why did he do it? ”

Lu Anran's eyes were as clear as snow, "The Zhou family can't continue to stay here." ”

Yun Qi tapped his finger on the windowsill, "In other words, there is a reason why the Zhou family has to leave." ”

"Maybe Yaksha," Lu Anran paused for a moment and slowly spit out, "It just happened to be an opportunity for Zhou Hou to move." ”

It just so happened that there was a Yaksha murder in Diqiu County, if the Zhou family deliberately publicized the matter of Yaksha with a ghost in their hearts, they would use this opportunity to escape from Diqiu.

Yun Qi stood in front of the window, the sunlight fell into his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on his pure face, "Could it be that it is really as expected by this world, the Yaksha of the Zhou family and the Yaksha encountered by others are not the same species. ”

Lu Anran thought about it for a while and immediately understood, and the implication was that the case of the Zhou family and the other deceased were classified as two cases.

"Mo Yan." Yun Qi summoned outward: "Check the copper mine that the Zhou family dug privately. ”

—

Coming out of the teahouse, Lu Anran glanced at the girl selling flowers twice, her movements were not large, but her head was slightly biased, who knew that Yunqi would see it in her eyes.

"Want?"

Lu Anran denied, "No." ”

Yunqi raised his eyebrows and smiled, his peach blossom eyes revealing a sense of arbitrariness, "Just say it if you want to, I won't laugh at you." ”

He walked over and looked into the flower basket, in addition to the green leaves cut into branches, there were also gardenia bracelets, snow-white flowers around a circle, blooming wantonly among the green leaves.

"Which one?" The clouds are good for a long time.

Lu Anran pursed the corners of his lips, and said with a slumped face: "Garland." ”

Yunqi laughed out loud and threw the silver taels over, "Come on, come on, give me all the garlands in the basket." ”

The flower girl was taken aback, "Childe, there is too much money, I can't find it." ”

"Don't look for it, my son is happy."

The flower girl was overjoyed, so she simply handed the basket out, and said very kindly: "Girl, I'll bring it to you." ”

After a cup of tea, Lu Anran added a wreath to his right hand, and the pink ribbon and flowers were repeatedly wrapped around his slender and white wrist, making the fragrance follow him.

There was not much joy in her eyes, but her eyes were dark, as if she was looking at another layer of things through a gardenia.

Yunqi flicked the remaining flowers in the basket, "Beauty is like a flower, it complements each other, so don't be embarrassed." ”

"Thank you." Lu Anran stroked the delicate snow-white petals, and a low sigh escaped between his lips and teeth.

Yun raised the tips of his ears and immediately asked, "Sigh what?" ”

The two walked to the carriage and did not rush to get up, Lu Anran said: "It is very cold in the north, and the frozen soil has only begun to melt at this time, and there are no such flowers." ”

Yunqi seemed to have an understanding, "If you like it, you can get some southern soil back and cultivate it carefully in the future." ”

Lu Anran didn't answer this question, and said to himself: "The first time I saw this flower, it was actually a painting. ”

"Painting?"

"Well, in my father's study." The words have an aftertaste, with the mist of smoke and rain, "There is such a wreath in the hand of the painter." ”

Lu Anran didn't say that the person on the painting was her mother, and Lu Xun told her-

"The first time I met your mother, she had such a wreath of gardenia on her hand."

At that time, Lu Anran knew the name of the flower, but the bigger doubt was, "Father, why is the place on my mother's face blank." ”

Lu Xun turned his back to her and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Your mother is so beautiful, no matter how good a painter in the world is, she can't paint a penny." ”

To this day, Lu Anran doesn't know what her mother looks like, and the painting impresses her too deeply, so when she sees the same wreath, she can't help but stop.

Before he could leave the city, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Wufang, who did you meet?" Yunqi understands Wufang's temper, and if it weren't for someone blocking the way, he would definitely not stop for no reason.

Without waiting for an answer, the voice of the moon watcher came through the curtain: "Shizi, the villagers from the same village as Miss He He have found it." ”

Yunqi lifted the curtain in a slightly surprised manner, "Where did you find it?" ”

"It can't be said that we found it, it was she who broke out of the mountains by herself and happened to meet our people."

In addition to helping in Longling in the past two days, Guanyue also secretly looked for the village girl He He said, but this girl had a big life, and she was not eaten by Yaksha like the few who disappeared before.

According to her own words, she was picking mushrooms in the mountains, and when she heard someone talking and was curious to follow, she got lost, and then looked at the people around her, all of them were barren mountains. However, she was lucky enough to find a cave and stay overnight, and after dawn she wandered through in a daze, allowing her to walk out unintentionally. ”

Yunqi nodded after hearing this, "You send her back, and by the way, warn the people in the village not to enter the mountains at will again in the near future." ”

In fact, there is no need for the government to give a special order, and those who are still secretly trespassing into the forest now are all people who do not want to die, and it is of little significance to warn them or not.

The carriage started running again, and Lu Anran pondered: "He He......"

"Huh?"

"Some talent for studying medicine."

"That's what you're talking about?" Yunqi's face was full of disbelief.

Lu Anran raised a pair of clear eyes, "Otherwise?" ”

Yun Qi was disappointed and said: "This son of the world thought that you were going to be jealous!" ”

Lu Anran: "......"

—

Except for the soil that is different from other places, Monkey Mountain is left with the same rocks, trees, and small villages scattered in the valley.

The only amazing place, the rhododendron blooming in the middle of the mountainside, the flowers are red like brocade, red like flames, lined with the green mountains recklessly, the clouds and mist wander, and the ups and downs are more delicate than the haze.

The two were still at the foot of the mountain, looking up for a moment, Yun Qi sighed: "The flowers bloom and fall without interruption, and spring comes and goes is irrelevant." ”

Lu Anran cared more about the land under her feet than about appreciating the flowers, and she swept the ground a little with a silver hairpin, "the same as the red mud stained with the soles of Zhou Ting's shoes." ”

Yun Qi was dissatisfied, and pressed the jade bone fan on her shoulder, "Do you have to be so uninteresting?" ”

Lu Anran looked diagonally upwards in his posture, "No matter whether someone asks about it or not, the fragrance of flowers and butterflies comes naturally." ”

"It's not that you don't understand, but you see the essence." Yun Qi bent over with one foot, his hand resting on his knee to support his chin, and his face looked lazy, "Lu Anran, there is something that the son of the world is more curious about. ”

Yunqi rarely called Lu Anran's name directly, so she was stunned for a moment before responding: "What? ”

"You're really always pure-hearted, what will make you lose your temper?"

Just like at this moment, Lu Anran's eyes are forever calm like a mirrored lake without waves, as if any joys and sorrows in the world are integrated into it, and it becomes a pool of stagnant water, which cannot stir up any splash.

"You're only seventeen, and you live the same life as seventy, don't you think life is boring?"

Lu Anran wrapped the soil in his hand in a cloth, looked at Yunqi with a pair of eyes clearly, without any emotional fluctuations, calm and calm, and said in a sparse tone: "Pure heart and few desires are self-satisfied." ”

Yunqi slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, Qingjun's face was particularly beautiful against the background of rhododendrons, as if he was aroused by something, and his black eyes jumped with light, "You have a heart of ice, and I am covered in red dust, you say, between us, who crosses whom?" ”

Lu Anran's hand shook, and the soil leaked out of his palm.

—

When he walked towards the valley, Lu Anran was rarely restless, like a piece of cake being intricately branded, steamed to the point that both sides were scorched.

Obviously said something like that, in the blink of an eye, Yunqi was like no one, the tails of his eyes were upturned and he smiled naturally, and the jade bone fan pointed forward, "There is a village ahead, go and see." ”

Lu Anran followed Yunqi slowly, stepping on the dirt marks he had walked on, his eyes retracted from his face, and he quickly gathered his mind, but a touch of self-deprecation flew under his eyes.

How could she forget that even though the person in front of her has two faces, it is true that he is ruthless, and it is true that he is playing in the world. She became stupid because she messed up her mind for a specious remark.

Abandoning all distracting thoughts, Lu Anran nodded: "There is nothing on the Monkey Mountain, and there is no sign of anyone passing by in the place where he enters the mountain, maybe he did not go up the mountain at all, but went to the village." ”

The two of them thought that there were probably no people in the village at this time, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they actually gathered a bunch of people and formed an arc, and the figure in the middle showed half of the head and the ingot-shaped glaive crown.

Yun Qi snorted lightly: "Yo, I met the demon hunting Taoist again, this is?" ”

The people in the village were attentive, and no one noticed that the two strangers who joined in at some point, a pair of eyes as if they were not enough, just staring at the every move of the blue-robed Taoist priest in the center.

The Taoist peach wood sword danced, and the yellow fu spontaneously combusted, causing the villagers to exclaim again and again, and he shouted softly: "Between the six combinations, within the four seas, the demons are hidden, and a charm is found." The evil spirit will go quickly, and I will give my emperor's life. Haste as a law. ”

After some action, the charm fell into the big porcelain bowl, he poured half a bowl of water, raised his hand and gave it to the person next to him, and said with a posture full of fairy wind bones: "The evil demons are all gone, there are still wandering spirits that have not returned, drink this bowl of talisman water, and within a day, you can return to the soul." ”

Lu Anran moved his gaze and found that there was a child lying on the wooden board behind him, and the one holding the bowl was estimated to be the child's father, who was grateful to the Taoist priest and was busy feeding water.

As soon as her brows furrowed, a voice next to her came out before her, "Slow, what's the use of this rune, why don't you let me see it, how about it?" ”
