When I returned to Beiyi City, the streets were empty just after the hour. Occasionally, a few dogs barked in the distance, and the cold wind whistled in the ears, and then stopped, as if they had lost their hearings, and the silence was like this.

Su Yi did not go back to the inn, but sneaked into Cao Mansion and secretly came to Cao Lingming's boudoir and knocked lightly on the door.

The door quickly opened, and I saw Cao Lingcheng wearing a thick mink fur, and when she saw Su Yi, she immediately said happily: "Brother Su Yi, why are you here?" Come into the house, it's too cold outside. ”

Cao Lingcheng is simple-minded and ignorant of the world. Just because it was a harsh winter and the night was even colder, he invited Su Yi into the house without any hesitation.

Su Yi saw that the lights in her room were bright, and there were still open books on the desk, so she asked, "Miss Cao hasn't rested so late?"

Cao Lingcheng put the water on the stove and said, "Yes, I've been reading a few medicinal scriptures recently, and I always don't know the point, so I've slept late these days." ”

Su Yi took a book and looked through it a few times, it was full of herbs that he had never seen, so he put it back and asked, "Miss Cao, do you remember the name of that doctor back then?"

Cao Lingcheng frowned and thought hard, and only after a while did she shake her head guiltily and said, "I only heard my grandfather mention it a few times when I was a child, but now I don't remember much..."

"Have you ever heard your father or your grandfather mention him??" Su Yi said.

Cao Lingcheng suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, I remember, my grandfather calls him Mr. Yan, and sometimes he calls him Brother Qi Bai." ”

"Mr. Yan... Qi Bai... Yan Qibai. Su Yi wanted to ask the doctor's name, and then find him through the mountain god, but he didn't want the doctor to be Yan Qibai. I don't know if it's a coincidence.

"That's right, I met an old man in the Crescent Mountain, and he... claimed to be Yan Qibai. Su Yi said.

Cao Lingcheng was overjoyed, not only did Dr. Yan, who had not heard from him for many years, have his whereabouts, but there was also hope for his father's illness. So he hurriedly said, "Brother Su Yi, can you take me to meet him?"

Su Yileng paused for a moment and asked, "Now?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Cao Lingcheng said, "Now, can I go now? I'll go and clean up." With that, he really went to take out his clothes and prepare to change them.

"Wait... Wait..."Su Yi didn't expect that this girl was not wary of him at all, and believed what he said without the slightest suspicion. Such a simple and naïve, if you have been rich and noble, and your life is peaceful, it is also a good thing. But if you wander outside, you will definitely be gnawed to the point that there are no bones left. Su Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Cao Lingcheng stopped what she was doing, turned her head, and looked at Su Yi with a pair of big eyes in confusion.

"When I say that, you believe it, aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?" asked Su Yi.

"Believe it. Cao Lingcheng seemed to have difficulty understanding his words, and said, "Brother Su Yi, will you lie to me?"

"No... But there are too many ill-intentioned bad people in the world, and if you trust others so easily, you will be easily deceived. ”

"But, Brother Su Yi, you are a good person. Cao Lingcheng said seriously, "If you are a bad person, how can you persuade others not to believe in themselves easily?"

Su Yi was dumbfounded, and could only guess to herself: Maybe she has her own standards for seeing people in her heart.

"You pack up first, I'll go prepare some things and come back to pick you up. Su Yi said helplessly. With that, he dived to the kitchen of Cao's mansion, filled the water bag, and packed some food before leaving.

The two of them walked in the forest, the Crescent Moon Mountain at night was extremely cold, and the cold wind was even more through the clothes, scraping on the skin and flesh like a blade, and the pain was piercing.

Cao Lingming's body was wrapped in heavy clothes, revealing only half of her small face under the hood. Rao was like this, and he was shivering with cold, and his teeth were rattling. She underestimated the coldness of Crescent Mountain.

The two of them moved slowly, and at such a speed, they didn't know when they would be able to reach the stone cave, so Su Yi simply squatted down and said, "Miss Cao, I'll carry you on my back." ”

After a long journey and having to resist the severe cold, Cao Lingcheng was already a little tired at this time. Seeing Su Yi say this, he no longer insisted, climbed onto his back and said shyly: "Thank you, Brother Su Yi..."

Su Yi picked up Cao Lingcheng and ran away, and secretly exerted internal force on her. Cao Lingcheng felt that her body suddenly warmed up, even if the wind was blowing, it was not cold. She knew that this must be because of Su Yi, and suddenly a warm current was born from her heart, and she only felt a huge sense of security on her back.

Although he was submerged in darkness, the shadows of the trees were like ghosts, and the howling of the cold wind in his ears was like a ghost crying, but on Su Yi's back, Cao Lingcheng's heart gave birth to a sense of novelty and excitement to participate in the adventure. This kind of experience is something she has never had as the daughter of the Cao family, if it weren't for Su Yi, maybe she wouldn't have had such an experience in her life.

This trip is enough to become an unforgettable memory for her.

After less than two hours, Su Yi returned to the stone cave, and Yan Qibai was a little stunned.

Cao Lingcheng got down from Su Yi's back and saw his skinny appearance, and suddenly couldn't stop her tears, covering her mouth and sobbing. Then I felt a wave of dizziness and was about to collapse.

Su Yi was shocked, and hurriedly took her in his arms and took away her internal strength, which made her face look better.

Su Yi blamed himself again and again, secretly scolding himself for being sloppy and ignoring such details.

Yan Qi found Cao Lingcheng for a long time and asked, "This is... The daughter of the Cao family?"

"Doctor Yan, I'm Cao Lingcheng..."Cao Lingcheng whimpered.

"Cao Lingcheng... Good, good... I didn't expect to see my old friend again in this life, I really won't die..."Yan Qibai said a little excitedly.

Su Yi took out the food in the package and put it in front of Yan Qibai one by one, and said, "Senior, don't be in a hurry to catch up with the old days first, and then talk about eating something." ”

Yan Qibai's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the food, and said, "Okay, talk while eating." Then he grabbed a chicken leg and took a big bite on it.

"Doctor Yan... What the hell is going on..."Cao Lingcheng choked up.

Yan Qibai poured a big sip of water, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "This matter has to start with Han Fei... He practiced a strange magic skill, lived with bats all day long, lived in this cave all year round, and claimed to be the master of the moon cave. ”

"Han Fei... Why does this name sound familiar?" Cao Lingcheng said.

Yan Qibai continued: "I was ambushed by him five years ago, and I have been imprisoned here since I was seriously injured by him. Relying on a few drops of water he gave every day and licking some insects and ants, he barely survived. ”

Su Yi and the others were shocked when they heard this, and it was hard to imagine what kind of torture he had gone through to survive.

"Although I am trapped in a cave, my ears and eyes can still move, and I know all the wind and grass in Crescent Mountain. The disappearance of the child five years ago was also done by Han Fei, who wanted to make the people of Beiyi City lose their trust in the mountain temple and turn the entire Crescent Mountain into a barren mountain. In the end, he forced me to do things for him, but the old man was not a willing man. He wants to do something wrong here, but it's not that simple!" Yan Qibai said indignantly, spitting on the ground as he spoke.

Both of them were moved by his righteousness and were speechless for a long time.
