Volume 1 The Man Under the Umbrella Chapter 85 What is Senior Brother thinking?
The year 103, March 26.
The courtyard was full of white flowers and fell to the ground in the courtyard.
Lin Erliang hugged a bunch of case files and looked at them while drinking tea under the eaves.
Jian Shijin walked in from outside the courtyard and looked at the falling flowers with regret.
"Why did you end up so much today?"
Lin Erliang didn't answer, just looked at the things on the table with a gloomy expression, and after a long time, he looked at Jian Shijin who was bending down on the ground to pick up pear blossoms, and said slowly: "Maybe it's not just today." ”
Jian Shijin lowered his head and sniffed the pear blossom in his hand, and when he heard this, he looked back at Lin Erliang with some surprise.
"What do you mean by that?"
Lin Erliang closed the case file, looked at the falling flowers, and said slowly: "There is something wrong with the Heavenly Hell. ”
"What's wrong?"
"There are a lot of prison guards who are out on patrol and haven't been back for a long time." Lin Erliang frowned and said, "The oldest one was five years ago. ”
Jian Shijin pinched a flower and walked over, looked at the names listed by Lin Erliang on the table, didn't smile, was silent for a long time, and asked, "When did you find out about this problem?" ”
"After Bai Fengyu died yesterday, I thought about coming back and sorting out the file." Lin Erliang said slowly, "Then I found out that the number of prison officials reported by the Heavenly Prison was wrong, there should have been two hundred and thirty-four people around Nanyi City, but except for some of the jailers who had been dismissed and died, there were only one hundred and ninety-eight, twelve less. ”
There was silence in the dark courtyard.
"Where did they go for their last mission return?"
Lin Erliang raised his head and said softly, "Nanke Town." ”
Jian Shijin was silent, and pinched the flower in his hand into a ball.
"It seems that we often forget something."
Lin Erliang said calmly: "There are a lot of things to check next. ”
Jian Shijin nodded and threw the filth in his hand out of the courtyard.
"Let's check the inside of the Heavenly Hell first, starting with ourselves."
"If we weren't from the twelfth floor." Lin Erliang looked south.
"Then there must be there."
......
Nandao walked out of the room with an umbrella, Chen He drank with Cao Weiying until midnight last night, and now he should still be sleeping in the gatehouse, but Cao Weiying is holding a book on the side of the stage and watching it.
Nan Dao walked over and took a look, and found that it was the Tianya Sword Sect kendo introduction that he had turned over, a book in the clouds, and I don't know why Cao Wei Hotaru was able to read it.
"Can you read this one?" Nanjima sat down on the edge of the stage and looked at the grass for Hotaru and asked.
Cao nodded and said with a smile, "There are some interesting ideas in this. ”
Nan Dao leaned over and looked at it twice, then sat back down, shook his head, closed his eyes and began to cultivate sword intent.
"It's not good to be too diligent." Grass for the firefly said inexplicably.
Nandao was silent for a moment, and opened his eyes.
Grass for Hotaru smiled slightly and looked at Nandao from behind the book.
The two were relatively silent for a long time.
Nandao picked up the Peach Blossom Sword and Parrot Island on the side.
"Then I'll go out and take a look."
Grass nodded for Hotaru.
Nandao walked downstairs with an umbrella and a sword.
The girl Hang Yue was on the first floor, sitting by the bookshelf, biting the pen, and sitting with a sad face.
When I saw Nandao, I was a little surprised and asked, "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, where have you been these days?" ”
Nandao smiled and said, "It's nothing, my leg is injured, and I have been recuperating for a few days." As he spoke, he looked at Hang Yue holding the book, "What are you doing, you look so distressed?" ”
Hang Yue sighed and said: "Our Wenhua Academy has been very distressed recently, the spring exam is coming, although I know that I am not the material that can be admitted, but I still have to work hard, don't you?" ”
Nandao then remembered the spring exam.
Hang Yue continued: "But I heard that there may be a big event in Nanyi City recently, I don't know if the spring exam will be postponed, if it is postponed." ”
Nandao was stunned and asked, "What's the big deal?" ”
"It's a lot, but I don't know very well, but I heard that the people from the Lingnan Sword Sect have come a lot, and the Nanyi City Inn is really hard to find now." Hang Yue sighed, "But it seems that there is no major movement in those places of the Human Sword Sect, it should just be a false alarm." ”
Hang Yue said, remembering something, and looked at Nandao, "Aren't you learning swords?" Why don't you help me go to the Human Sword Sect and ask? ”
The simple view of the world.
Those who learn swords will definitely be able to go to the Human Sword Sect.
The monasticists must have seen the Hanyakan.
But the human card hall is not right, it is the Sword Sect, and the Human Sword Sect will indeed not stop others from entering.
Especially if you want to go in and play cards.
Nandao thought about it, anyway, he planned to hang out for a while, and it was okay to ask.
After all, I was also a little curious about what happened.
I feel that something is wrong with Nanyi City when I wake up.
After chatting with Hang Yue for a few more words, Nandao went out.
The early morning was bright and the spring was shining, so when passing by the small bamboo garden, Nandao saw that Yun Hu was not nested in the room, but was holding a book on a chair in the path outside.
It should still be the question of the slender life.
Nandao didn't bother him, and walked over lightly with an umbrella.
When he walked to the front yard of the Hanging Courtyard, he saw that Chen He had already gotten up, holding a broom, humming a tune on the road and sweeping the ground.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw Nandao walking with an umbrella and a sword, and Chen He greeted happily.
Nandao walked over and asked curiously, "Why are you sweeping the floor here?" ”
Chen He swept the fallen leaves together, and said, "Mr. Mei also drank with Mr. Xie yesterday, and now he hasn't come yet, so I just swept the ground." ”
Nandao reached for the broom: "I'll come, I forgot that this is my life." ”
Chen He didn't give the broom to Nandao, and said teasingly: "When you limp to sweep the ground, I don't know when." ”
Minamijima chuckled softly and said, "But I'm a cultivator, so I can use a broom like Edgeworth." ”
Chen He said stubbornly: "You still focus on recuperating from your injuries. ”
"Okay." Nandao held an umbrella and gave way to the side, and Chen He swept the ground and walked over.
"By the way, are you going out in the sun? Why don't you take the Tianyan car? ”
"Forget it, my driving skills are too poor, I'm afraid of hitting people."
Chen He laughed, "If you have time to learn more from me, I am the best person in Nanyi City." ”
When he went to find Nandao that day, Chen He drove all the way to half of Nanyi City, and he didn't hit anyone, and his driving skills were indeed first-class.
Nandao laughed softly, for a long time, looked at Chen He and said, "Thank you." ”
Chen He didn't answer, and continued to hum the tune and sweep the ground.
Nandao then walked out of the gate of the Hanging Temple.
The Hanging Courtyard is in the south of Nanyi City, and the Human Sword Sect is in the north of Nanyi City.
Naturally, it will take a long time.
Fortunately, Nandao was not in a hurry, so he walked slowly, and it took a long time to stand at the gate of the Sword Sect again.
I don't know if they will still turn themselves away now.
Nandao thought.
Then I saw two figures, one large and one small, sitting on the steps of the gate.
The big one is Chen Huaifeng, and the small one is naturally Hulu.
Chen Huaifeng looked at the young man with an umbrella who came with a sword, and was shocked for a moment, but quickly hid that look, and nodded to Nandao with a slight smile.
Although Nandao didn't know why the person who looked very gentle and was still holding a cup of goji berries would smile and nod to himself, but others are polite, and he is not rude himself.
Holding his sword and saluting, he said, "I've seen two senior brothers." ”
Hu Lu raised his eyes and glanced at Nandao, and said lazily, "Master is not here. ”
Nan Dao was silent for a while, and said, "I'm here to find Senior Brother Zhang Xiaoyu Zhang." ”
"Oh, come in and turn right."
Chen Huaifeng took a sip of tea, smiled apologetically at Nandao, and said, "I'm sorry, he's been sitting at the door for too long, and he's in a bad mood." ”
Nandao remembered the time when he was rejected without saying a word at the beginning, such an attitude may have been calculated?
So he bowed and said, "Thank you, two senior brothers." ”
Chen Huaifeng made way for Nandao, Nandao said thank you again, and then walked through the door.
The two people at the door watched the figure of the young man in the door limp away, turned around, and looked at each other for a long time.
"What is Senior Brother thinking?"
"I'm thinking, it's really like that."
It's a lot like that, of course, it's not.
Chen Huaifeng held his sword and pondered at the door.
He had also heard the story of cause and effect in the South Island.
......
The South Island follows the direction from which it came last time, all the way to it.
I didn't see the little girl named Cong Xin near the wooden house outside the pool, and I didn't know where she went.
I think the peach blossom that was given to her at the beginning has withered.
Thinking of this, Nandao fell silent.
Where did the peach blossoms come from?
He forgot.
So he went into a pool.
Zhang Xiaoyu was looking at the flowers at the bridge, and the sword marks that sometimes appeared on his face had shallow and looked much better.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoyu's story Nandao does not know.
So when he saw the faint sword marks on Zhang Xiaoyu's face, Nandao just thought that it was a sign that he had been sleeping on his stomach for a long time.
"Why is Senior Brother here?"
Zhang Xiaoyu heard the voice, turned around, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Nandao, and then turned his head a little weakly, laughed awkwardly, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see what Master does here on weekdays." ”
"Oh." Nandao didn't delve any further, walked over and sat down under the peach tree.
Zhang Xiaoyu's heart was weak for a while, then he turned around, looked at Nan Dao and asked curiously, "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”
Nan Dao nodded and said, "It should be fine, thank you senior brother that day." ”
On the day he went to kill Hua Wuxi, the attitude of that Nanchu Great Witch was very strange.
Nandao guessed that Zhang Xiaoyu must be nearby.
Zhang Xiaoyu tilted his head and pretended not to know, and said, "What are you talking about?" ”
Nandao smiled and said, "Nothing. ”
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the peach blossoms and didn't say anything, just sighed, "I don't know when the master will come back, I haven't played cards for a long time." ”
Nandao then remembered the purpose of his visit.
"I heard that something is going to happen to Nanyi City?"
Zhang Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Nandao and asked, "Who said that?" ”
"The people in the courtyard."
Zhang Xiaoyu was silent for a while and said, "No." ”
But soon he denied himself.
"Possibly."
Zhang Xiaoyu lay down with some distress and said, "I don't know, the fog is too big, we can't see clearly." ”
“.......”
"Senior brother."
"What's wrong?"
"Shall we run away?" Zhang Xiaoyu said worriedly.
“.......”
