Chapter 329: Looking for a needle in a haystack

"Why should the mountain god be gracious?" He asked knowingly.

"As soon as the mountain god was happy, he rewarded us mountain people." The village chief patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "It's cold here for us, it's not as cold as in the south, and it's a good thing for the crops to fall heavily here. ”

Ah Yi didn't understand how snow became a good thing when it was out of season, but when he saw the people of the same village walking by, he had a smile on his face, so he slowly believed that maybe it was really the mountain god who was in a good mood, so he gave a reward selflessly, and then thought about it, maybe it was the mountain god who left Mr. and Mrs. Shen down as guests, so he was happy.

He still waited every day, waited for thirty days, the snow stopped, he also knew that he must not be able to wait for the two people, took out the treasured note and looked at it again, the words on it were all known, Mrs. Shen said, as long as you keep going to the southeast, you can find it, he checked the objects they left behind, checked them again, took some money and clothes, made a package, and went on the road without hesitation.

He promised Mrs. Shen that if they didn't go back, he would go to Tiandu to bring a letter to Shen Gongzi, and what he promised others must be done, Ah Yi just didn't expect to go this way, and actually walked for several months before reaching his destination.

Shen Nianyi never interjected, and after listening to him quietly, he was completely sure that Ah Yi was not lying, and these words were all true and credible: "Then you can't be sure that they have suffered misfortune, but they just entered the mountain and never came back." ”

"Shen Gongzi, how heavy the snow fell, it was already cold in Liangzhao Mountain, when they entered the mountain, they only brought a few days' rations, a full thirty days, if it wasn't for the mountain god asking them to stay, where else could they go, since they were invited, they would not come back." Ah Yi said very seriously, "Shen Gongzi, this is a good thing, I just watched them like immortals, and they really became immortals." ”

Shen Nianyi is the kind of person who absolutely refuses to give up without seeing the corpse, knowing that there is no point in arguing with Ah Yi on this issue, people have traveled thousands of miles, but in order to keep a promise, it is already very commendable, he called the Qing sister-in-law twice, but no one was seen, knowing that the Qing sister-in-law could not accept the news of A Yi's return, I am afraid that she will be flustered at this time, and she will not be able to do things.

Seeing Xiao Ye listening to the greeting and touching it, this child has lived at home for a few days, and he is actually silent, and he is also a knowledgeable person, and at this time he lowered his hands and said: "Lord Shen, Sister-in-law Qing just fainted, and we carried her into the house to rest." ”

As soon as Shen Nian was concerned about the safety of his parents, his heart was also up and down: "Xiao Ye, you take this person down to take a bath and rest, if there is ready-made food in the stove room, give it to him, if not, you will buy some money and come back to entertain guests." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Shen, I can still handle these little things." Xiao Ye took Ah Yi away, the two of them talked and laughed, Xiao Ye walked to the door, turned around and glanced at Shen Nianyi quickly, leaving a message clearly, he will talk again to see if there is any cattiness.

Shen Nianyi held the corner of the table, sat down slowly, and when he listened to Ah Yi's words, he tried his best to keep himself calm, but at this time, he wanted to immediately leave the official business in his hand and set off for Liangzhao Mountain, his body moved and knew that it was not so simple, even if he sat on the fastest horse, it would be a long time to come and go, not to mention that his parents were together, much stronger than his ability, he was still unfamiliar with life when he got there, and he couldn't do anything at all.

Therefore, don't be impulsive, just afraid that you will not find someone, but you will miss other major things.

He thought about Ah Yi's words from the beginning again, and did not let go of every detail, feeling that his mother's attitude was clearly knowing something, and the instructions before entering the mountain clearly knew that he might not be able to come back, otherwise he was so far away, how could she entrust a teenager at will, if Ah Yi was a little tired, he would not have sent this message at all.

Mother is not such a reckless character, and the father is more calm and reliable, and will not be reckless and cut off all his retreats.

In this case, should he stand still, and wait to see other news, Shen Nianyi tried to convince himself that he could not act impulsively, but he wanted to stand up after sitting firmly, after all, it was his parents, and it was difficult for him to really make a hard-hearted attitude, and even the young sister-in-law fainted on the spot when she heard the bad news, not to mention, it was his dearest.

No, no, the two of them shot together, no one in the world can win, and they will not give their lives to the unfamiliar Liangzhao Mountain in such a daze, Shen Nianyi took a deep breath, and after thinking about it over and over again, more than an hour passed unconsciously.

Xiao Ye came and knocked on the door, saying that it had been arranged, the guests had eaten a hot meal, and took a bath, probably because he was too tired on the road, fell asleep, and couldn't wake up when he shouted, and said that he wanted to set the other party's words several times, and the other party was not at all guarded, asking what to say, but the answer was simple, I am afraid that it is not like a fake.

Shen Nianyi listened silently, without making a sound, Xiao Ye stood by the door, waiting patiently, and then he asked Sister-in-law Qing is better? Xiao Ye replied, pinch the middle of the person and wake up, Sister-in-law Qing has her own standing medicine, she has taken two pills, and she rested first.

Shen Nian nodded and said: "You told her not to be anxious, there are too many debatable things about this matter, and the loss of contact may be a temporary diversion to another place, not necessarily an accident." ”

Xiao Ye snorted, lowered his head and didn't speak, probably because he couldn't hold back some words: "Lord Shen, that person said before going to bed that he would go back when he woke up, I asked him why he wanted to go back, and he only said that he had already done things, of course he wanted to go back." ”

"I see." Shen Nianyi raised his head, his face still showed a three-point haggard look, "Sister-in-law Qing is not here, you can help take care of it first, if there is anything unusual, come and tell me immediately." ”

"Yes, Lord Shen." Xiao Ye got this sentence, so he quietly retreated, Shen Nianyi smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect to ask such a sleepover child to help.

Since Ah Yi has fallen asleep, then no matter what, he must wait for him to wake up before he can continue to ask carefully, Shen Nianyi knew that he was trapped in the house like this, but the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so he simply went out and went straight to Dali Temple.

When he arrived at Dali Temple, he immediately told Qiu Cheng to find out the map of Xishu Kingdom, and took care of all the brochures that recorded Liangzhao Mountain and sent them over.

Qiu Cheng saw that his eyes were slightly red, and he was so frightened that he was almost speechless: "My lord, but there is an important case?" ”

Shen Nianyi slowly shook his head and said, "No, you go and find it first, I'm a little tired and don't want to talk more." ”

Qiu Cheng heard this, and he didn't dare to squeak, so he quickly took someone to rummage, Shen Nianyi sat on the chair, half-closed his eyes, he was restless in the center of his home, that is, he could feel a little at ease when he returned here, probably because he had handled too many cases here, so he was able to be extraordinarily calm.

After a while, Qiu Chengcheng found all the maps of Xishu, Shen Nian cleaned up the table, spread out the sheepskin map smoothly, and looked for the terrain of Liangzhao Mountain on it.

"My lord, there are not many records in the file of Liangzhaoshan, but I am afraid that there are only a few words and phrases mixed in it, I have two people to check there, please wait a little longer."

As soon as Shen Nian found the intersection of the two countries, he really found Liangzhao Mountain, his fingers crossed the terrain of the mountain, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, only listening to Ah Yi's words, he didn't think how big Liangzhao Mountain was, and at this time he knew that the mountain was huge compared to the map, which was beyond his imagination, and he was afraid that those villagers in Xishu, leaning on the foot of a mountain, couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture at all, but it was a small corner in front of him, begging for some life.

If it is said that the parents have the intention to go into the mountains to investigate, and they have gained, let alone thirty days, about a hundred days may not be able to go around, not to mention that it is snowing heavily in the mountains, and it is even more difficult to walk, Ah Yi said that they do not bring much dry food, but he knows that his father is carrying pills, and he is very hungry to eat one pill, and then he can make do with the snow water for a long time.

Although it was just a guess, he also felt that his heart was not so panicked, he looked at the map carefully three or four times, and even took Qiu Chengcheng to squeeze his head over and ask while looking: "These places that adults have seen are all vast and sparsely populated, and they have been peaceful all these years, and there have never been wars and disputes." ”

"Two Mountains, Two Mountains." Shen Nianyi repeated these three words in a low voice, as if he hadn't heard Qiu Cheng's words at all.

Why, the more he repeated it, the more familiar he felt about this place name, always like he had heard it in other places, other people's mouths, maybe it was a long time apart, or maybe it was just a glimpse at the time, and the impression left was too weak, so he couldn't remember it for a while.

Waiting until the middle of the night, someone took the records of Liangzhao Mountain, one by one, from the corners of various books were copied out, Shen Nianyi looked at the stack of papermaking paper one by one, the front was bland, only said that it was a cold place, and wrote what crops are suitable for planting, and what wild animals are there.

His eyes were attracted by one of them, Liangzhao Mountain is divided into two seasons by the locals every year, the warm season and the cold season, with the Danxia on the top of the mountain as the dividing line, and because the mountain is mostly ice topography, when the wind direction changes, there will be different levels of musical scales, which is called by the local people is the mountain god singing, in order to imply that the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year, and the harvest will be good.

These words were almost exactly the same as Ah Yi's words, Shen Nian looked down again and again, but he couldn't find other useful clues, he raised his eyes and asked, "Only so many?" ”

"My lord, there are only so many things that can be found in Dali Temple, and others, maybe there are some other books in the palace, but to read the books in the palace study, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how easy it is to say." Qiu Cheng replied in a low voice, "I have an idea, why don't you go and find the Xishu people who often come and go in Tiandu, maybe there will be a harvest." ”
