The climate in the mountains was changeable, and it was clear all day, and when the sun set, a large cloud suddenly gathered, and a torrential rain fell without warning.

Nangong Zhi asked people to build a simple pergola under a few big trees, looked at the heavy rain outside, turned to Yunqi and said: "If the rain doesn't stop until dark, we can only stay here for the time being, and wait until dawn to continue." ”

After searching for more than a day, it stands to reason that even if the location of the fall is slightly different, it should not be so far away, but so far there is no clue, I don't know if they are looking in the wrong direction.

Yunqi looked at the rain curtain and was distracted, He He came over and said the words of gratitude that had been wandering in his heart all day.

The two of them are one left and one right, because of the visual difference, from the sight of several people in the back, it seems to be leaning together.

"Pry Lu Anran's corner is here." Lu Taotao sat on the tree and shook a pair of short legs, and his tone was inexplicably a little excited.

Guanyue hugged her arms and closed her eyes to recuperate, Mo Yan rolled her eyes, "What nonsense are you." ”

Lu Taotao shook his head and said: "Look, what is the saying called, see the stitches?" Loved by others? Or is it half-hearted? ”

Mo Yan said coldly: "Pretend to be crazy and stupid." ”

"Hey, you don't hate Lu Anran, you should feel a bad breath at this time."

Mo Yan's palm was on his abdomen, and there was a scar there, the mark was difficult to erase, as ugly as a centipede crawling over, but without this scar, he might have died a long time ago.

Thinking about the origin of the scar, his eyes became subtle, and he said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Lu Taotao sighed: "Man, the mouth is not right." ”

"You should be worried that the surname Lu is dead, and you won't be able to live."

Lu Taotao made a grimace and said with a smile: "Miscalculated, Lu Anran has already detoxified me, hahaha." ”

Mo Yan turned his head to look at her in surprise, "When did it happen?" ”

"What's your business?" Lu Taotao quickly threw this sentence back.

The sound of the rain beating the leaves, making the voice rustle, Mo Yan touched the wound that would itch on a rainy day, and said, "She's really strange." ”

I didn't know what to say, and I didn't want anyone to answer.

However, Lu Taotao had to join in the fun and answered, and said: "What are you a good person, a good person doesn't pay for his life, and the evil ghost will not fall for a thousand years." ”

Yunqi was still stunned by the rain, He He said a few words of gratitude on the side, and before Yunqi reacted, others were like souls wandering out here, laughing peach blossom eyes slightly hooked all over the body, and when he didn't smile, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold, and his eyes were full of alienation.

He He was a little embarrassed and was about to leave, Yunqi turned around and said, "You often go to this forest? ”

"After a few times of collecting medicine."

"Can you show me a map of the terrain around here?"

He He hesitated: "I don't know how to draw." ”

"It's okay, you describe it, I'll draw it."

He He said it simply, and it is also very general, most of them use there is a mountain there, there is a forest on the left, and there is a stone mountain over the grassland on the right and then it is still a forest......

Yun Qi took a branch and painted it on the ground, and suddenly stopped at a certain point, pointing: "Is there a low mountain here?" ”

He He thought carefully, "It's not a low mountain, I remember that there was a year when a torrential rain caused a flash flood, which washed away half of the mountain, and those stones collapsed there, and the grass and trees grew again after a long time, it looked like a low mountain." ”

There is still an impression of the fact that the heavy rain washed away the mudslide, and as a result, many villages in the opposite valley have become ghost villages.

He stared at this place for a long time, threw a tree branch and quickly found Nangong Zhi, who commanded his guards to camp and perform their duties, "I probably understand why we can't find them." ”

Nangong stopped waving back the others, "What do you say?" ”

Yunqi grabbed Nangong Zhi's wrist and pulled him back to his original position, "Look here, because the woods blocked the line of sight before, we didn't find that there was actually a low mountain blocking the way in the middle. ”

After Nangong Zhi looked at it for a while, he immediately understood what he meant, "If the prince and Miss Lu are on the other side of the low mountain, we will miss the opportunity to meet them." ”

The two looked at He He together, He He was slightly stunned, and reacted: "There is no road to go straight there, if you go in the past, you still have to take a long detour from the front." ”

He He thought it through, the path she took everyone was indeed carefully chosen, if she didn't find it again, she turned around from the front intersection to the other side of the low mountain.

"By the way, Fourteen is in that position, will they choose to swim out from the bottom of the lake?"

"No, it won't." The two spoke in unison and looked at each other after speaking.

Nangong Zhi shook his head: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dizzy." ”

This answer is a bit unexpected, He Hexin said, isn't it motion sickness, how can there be people who are seasick in the world.

Yun Qi pressed the root of his teeth and said lightly: "Lu Anran is a landlubber. ”

The north is not as many rivers and rivers as the south, and nine times out of ten it will not swim.

Nangong Zhi asked He He to talk about the detailed route again, and decided to divide it into two teams, one group set off overnight, and the other group searched according to the established route, and then the signal was agreed.

After thinking about it, Yunqi said, "I'm still with you." ”

Nangong Zhi's eyes flashed with consternation, the clouds he had come into contact with were a little flamboyant, he didn't speak very seriously, and he always choked with himself intentionally or unintentionally, but it could be generally seen that this person had an attitude towards many people and many things.

Therefore, suddenly being so serious, does it mean that Yunqi cares too much about Lu Anran?

"What questions does Shaosuke have?" Yun Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying not to laugh.

Nangong Zhi: "I just think that Yun Shizi treats Miss Lu a little differently." ”

Yunqi chuckled, and his peach blossom eyes were a little frivolous, "I'm worried that there will be less work in the Criminal Division in the future." ”

Nangong stopped bowing his head, "Then let's prepare ourselves." ”

Behind Nangong Zhi's back, Yun Qi's upper eyelids slowly fell, the smile on the corner of his mouth also converged a little, and his starry eyes turned a thousand times, floating and sinking with a vagueness that he couldn't analyze.

—

Lu Anran and Zi Sangjin found a cave not far from the lake, the cave didn't know how deep it was, it was very damp inside, and the more it went, the darker and more empty it became, as if with the sound of 'ticking and ticking', the echo was constantly amplified.

The two of them were extremely tired, and their legs were not suitable for walking more, so Lu Anran proposed: "Let's sit down and rest first, it's best not to be too far inside." ”

In general, Zi Sangjin is not as troubled as Yunqi, and he will not be as willful as Feng Qi, so he sat down at the entrance of the cave, and when he looked up, he just saw the torrential rain, and he couldn't help but feel lucky.

It's obviously a small thing, but because he remembered that he had never encountered such a subtle luck in his life in the past seventeen years, he had a complex feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain.

Lu Anran gathered the dead branches and hay around him to polish the fire, and after the fire rose, he even felt a little more secure.

It rained so hard that it seemed like water was pouring directly from the sky, and soon small pools of water were building up at the mouth of the cave.

Zi Sangjin pressed on his abdomen, paused, and the hunger in the emptiness burned inside, but there were only two people here, there were no servants for people to send, and he also had the pride of being a man, so he was always embarrassed to wait for the girl to find food.

So, Zi Sangjin waited for the rain to light up, and stood up little by little by holding on to the stone wall.

"You're looking for something to eat?" Lu Anran saw it and asked.

There are a lot of dead branches and leaves in the cave, and after eliminating them, it is easy to know Zi Sangjin's thoughts.

Zi Sangjin nodded, and was about to step out, "It will be more inconvenient when it gets dark, I will go nearby now to see if there are any fruit trees that can be eaten." ”

Lu Anran didn't stop it, and asked more: "Your Highness can do light work?" ”

Zi Sangjin's back stiffened, he didn't turn back, but turned his head and said, "I haven't practiced martial arts." ”

Lu Anran didn't dwell on this issue, but pointed out a problem, "I just observed that the trees here are very tall, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach them. ”

"There's always a way." Although Zi Sangjin didn't know what to do.

"His Royal Highness's internal injuries are more serious than mine, so let me go." Lu Anran originally thought that it would be more convenient for Zi Sangjin to do light work, but since he wouldn't, it would make no difference who went.

Zi Sangjin frowned, as if he was being looked down upon, and just as he was about to speak, he saw something rushing straight over, hitting the mountain wall and making a dull crashing sound.

Zi Sangjin opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say it for a long time.

Lu Anran looked at Zi Sangjin, and then at the hare that ran out of nowhere and knocked out, "Your Highness doesn't need to go out." ”

The grey rabbit is still fat, enough for two to have a dinner.

When it was almost baked, Lu Anran took out two porcelain bottles from the bag he carried and sprinkled a bunch of powdery things on them.

Zi Sangjin looked familiar, this bottle was exactly the same as the pill she contained, and said, "What are you spilling on it?" ”

Lu Anran cherished the words like gold, "Medicinal powder." ”

"Are you okay after eating?"

"Stop bleeding and remove stasis, improve qi and nourish the spirit, and eat left and right, I added lemongrass to it, which can be used as a seasoning."

Zi Sangjin believed that she was evil, but it tasted really good, if you ignore Lu Anran's being too calm when peeling and peeling the internal organs, so he looks particularly perverted, Zi Sangjin thinks that this dinner is okay.

Because of the rain, the hour was still early, and the sky was gray and foggy, especially dark.

The firelight of the cave jumped on the two of them, and Lu Anran added some dead grass and branches into it from time to time, "Has Your Highness found it?" ”

"What?"

"There are a lot of branches and dead grass in the cave."

Zi Sangjin put his right leg flat, leaned against the mountain wall, changed his position, and said, "Well, it's not like an animal nest." ”

Animals spend the winter filling their burrows with dry vegetation, but most do not choose caves that are too wet, and there are no signs of large animals living here.

"Your Highness, look at this." Lu Anran's fingerbones buckled and knocked on the mountain wall next to her.

Zi Sangjin moved a little over, looked closer, and vaguely recognized a few words, crooked, extremely naïve, "Flowers, what wind, birds...... It's like a child's random handwriting. ”

Lu Anran said: "Children don't come here casually. ”

Zi Sangjin was full of excitement, "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't know." Lu Anran touched the words, like using a small blade, but also like a sharp stone, the carved traces were not deep, only a few white marks were drawn on the stone wall, "Identifying from the traces, it shouldn't be a long time." ”

"Someone has settled in this cave with a child?" Zi Sangjin said that this inference was a little ridiculous, "No one will fall off the cliff like us." ”

They also discovered during the day that this place was not inhabited, it could also be said that it was inaccessible, and there was still a possibility of activities around the path under the cliff, who would run to this area.

"Is there a mark on the top of the place?" Lu Anran raised his head and asked.

"Children can't climb that high."

The two of them couldn't get to that position anyway, so they had to give up.

Listening to the sound of wind and rain, Lu Anran threw a branch into the fire, turned his head sideways and asked: "This dynasty is still martial, with the qualifications of His Royal Highness, he can also make a difference." ”

Zi Sangjin half-blinded, the orange warm light shone on his face, and as he pulled down the corners of his mouth, it was a little cold for no reason, "Do you want to know the reason?" ”
