Although Zhang Yifan thought so in his heart, he had never seen a fairy after all, and although the phenomenon in front of him was difficult to explain, it was too far from the image of a fairy in his mind.

Sorting out his thoughts, he walked towards the other skeleton.

The corpse was strange, it was a headless corpse, and it was unknown where its head had gone, and its clothes were already rotting. The package next to it revealed some of the items inside, a book that looked a little worn, a jade plaque, and a bead.

Zhang Yifan stepped forward to check it, there was only a part of the dilapidated book, and the back seemed to have been torn off, and there were three ancient characters of "Huo Yan Jue" written on it, which seemed to be a secret book of internal strength.

The jade plaque is only half the size of a palm, and its shape is square and simple. On one side is the word "Burning Sky", and on the other side is a picture with flames, which looks very delicate and makes him feel a little happy in his heart.

As for the beads, Zhang Yifan didn't see anything after looking at them for a long time, the beads are the size of a thumb, and the surface is round as if there is moisture, and there is nothing special about it.

Zhang Yifan looked at these things, but what he thought in his heart was to bury the bodies of these two people, and take these objects as a reward for himself.

As soon as he said he would do it, he wrapped the object with the baggage he carried, and tied the turtle shell to his back. Then dig two small pits with a demon wedge, put the bones in them, and fill them with earth.

Zhang Yifan finished packing these up, and when he was about to leave, he found that there was a bag left behind the bones in the center of the movement. The bag is delicate, well-preserved, and wrapped with rope.

He was a little curious, and stepped forward to pick up the bag and wanted to open it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it, and it was useless to knock and smash and drag. In desperation, Zhang Yifan had no choice but to put away the object according to the curiosity in his heart and began to look for a way out.

Zhang Yifan found that the cave was closed and there seemed to be no way out, but he didn't feel stuffy in the cave, thinking that there should be a vent. Zhang Yifan looked around but found no sign of the vent, and finally he had to return to the entrance of the undercurrent at that time.

When he came to the entrance of the undercurrent, Zhang Yifan found that the undercurrent at the entrance had disappeared at this time, and the water flow at the entrance of the cave had stopped flowing.

Zhang Yifan's heart eased slightly, and he felt that it was more appropriate to go out at this time. When he walked out of the cave and was about to go out, something strange happened.

The river actually bypassed his body automatically, forming a shelter space that could accommodate two people, and he found that he could actually avoid the water.

Zhang Yifan felt very amazing, and guessed whether it was because he had some kind of device with the function of avoiding water. Involuntarily, he thought of the bead.

Back in the cave, he placed the beads in the cave and approached the entrance with other things. And this time he failed to avoid the river, and he immediately returned with joy, holding the beads of water to avoid the water.

"Haha, I finally saw the legendary water-repellent beads, it turns out that there are really water-repellent beads in this world!"

"With this water droplet, the river is no longer an obstacle, and I can calmly leave this cave, and this cave can also be my secret stronghold. ”

Zhang Yifan now determined the function of avoiding water beads, and began to prepare to go out. He didn't find any missing cattle in the cave, so he followed the direction of the original undercurrent and explored in the possible direction to see if he could find any trace of the oxen.

Although the water beads can avoid water, he still has to walk forward carefully, and it is easier to touch the water when he walks faster, and the entire water shelter space is unstable.

By avoiding the water beads, Zhang Yifan quickly searched the nearby waters and found that he was currently near the sluice.

And since the two ploughing oxen that disappeared were not in the cave, they must have been taken elsewhere with the undercurrent. Since there is no word near the sluice, the search range is large, and this undercurrent is now gone, and he feels that there is no chance of continuing to look for it now.

And Uncle Chen, they didn't come as agreed today, and there should be something important happening in the yamen. So Zhang Yifan decided to go back to the yamen first, retrieve the wedge tomorrow and come here before noon to see if there is an undercurrent, and this time it should be much more convenient to have a water bead to explore along the undercurrent.

Zhang Yifan first went to Zhongcun to pack up and put everything away, he turned over the broken book by the way, because it was an ancient text, he found that many words in it were not very recognizable, so he thought about going to the bookstore to buy a ancient dictionary to study.

As for why Zhang Yifan didn't look for Zhang Songpu, the main reason was that he still felt that he couldn't explain the source and process of the book, so he didn't ask for the time being.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yifan returned to the yamen and went to report to Wang Zhutou first.

He reported the relevant situation to Wang Zhutou, of course, he hid the cave he explored, and subconsciously felt that this was a very important secret to him, and he couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so fortunately he didn't say it.

Zhang Yifan only said that he had some clues through the undercurrent, and if he went to investigate again tomorrow, he should be able to find the whereabouts of the missing farming cattle. Wang Zhutou praised Zhang Yifan's good performance, but also told him to pay attention to safety and not act blindly, the undercurrent is still more dangerous, especially for people with bad water quality, Zhang Yifan nodded yes.

Then Zhang Yifan asked about Chen Zhu's whereabouts, Wang Zhutou's expression became serious, and he gave Zhang Yifan a rough reason.

It turned out that there was a murder on the edge of a fishing lake outside the city, and a fisherman was found dead on the boat. Because there has been no homicide in the county for several years, Wang Zhixian attaches great importance to it, and he asks Wang Zhutou to set up a special team to deal with this matter and strive to solve the case quickly.

Because Wang Zhutou needed to receive a big man from the six doors of the state capital, he arranged for the experienced Chen Zhutou to lead the team to deal with the murder.

When Zhang Yifan heard about the murder, he was very excited and said that he wanted to participate in it. Wang Zhutou couldn't cry or laugh, and told him to settle down, deal with the current cattle loss case first, and then take him to see the opportunity, so as to stabilize him.

After Zhang Yifan dealt with the yamen matter at hand, he pondered that the bookstore should not be closed yet, so he said goodbye to Wang Zhutou and ran towards the bookstore on the south street of the county.

The whole Yan County is not big, with a radius of about ten miles, and there are only two streets in the north and south. The main merchants on South Street sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, poetry and classics, etc., and of course there are many small restaurants, so there are many tourists, and many nearby squires and scholars like to come here.

When Zhang Yifan came to South Street, it was a meal, so the whole block was full of tourists, and the shopkeepers shouted one after another, so it was not lively! Zhang Yifan was happy in his heart when he saw this scene of leveling, and he was also proud of his identity.

Zhang Yifan has always been resolute in his work, and he did not delay time on the road, and came directly to the bookstore. At this time, there were many people around the front of the bookstore, and people were pointing inside, as if something was going on.

Zhang Yifan didn't go in immediately, he asked a big man at the door, "Uncle, what's going on inside?"

"Oh, Zhang San'er, who killed a thousand knives inside, played tricks again, he stole people's money, but was stopped by a scholar inside, he was angry and started beating people, the scholar lady saw it and blocked the scholar's fist, and the scholar was beaten and vomited blood! Now everyone is blocking the door to prevent him from escaping, waiting for the yamen to catch him!" The big man said angrily.

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he was immediately furious, this Zhang San'er!

Zhang San'er is a well-known mixed youth in the county, an orphan who has no father and mother since he was a child, so there is no one to discipline him. Zhang Yifan knew that Zhang San'er occasionally stole people's money, but he rarely beat people, and he usually entered the Yamen Eden board, so he didn't expect him to dare to hurt people with such courage this time!

Zhang Yifan pushed aside the crowd, came to the bookstore, and saw the scene in the store. The things in front of him made people cry and laugh, Zhang San'er was held by a man who looked like a scholar, and there were some blood stains on the corners of the scholar's mouth. Zhang San'er's belt was pulled by a little lady, and there seemed to be a fist mark on her face.

Zhang San was a dumb man, his expression was anxious, and he muttered, "You let go!" I didn't want to hit her, I just wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect her to come over. ”

"Zhang San'er! Your courage is getting bigger and bigger! You actually steal money and hurt people! Don't stop!" Zhang Yifan drank.

"Ouch, Brother Fan, you can come, this is really wronged me, I just stole a guest's money, and I haven't stolen it yet. This scholar pulled me hard, I pushed him in a hurry, and he actually vomited blood, which is really not for me to beat. He didn't let me go in the back, I made a gesture to hit him, but I didn't want to really fight, how did I think this little lady rushed up, this... I'm not to blame for that. Zhang San shouted aggrievedly.

"Oh, then it's a fact that you stole and I will find out about the beating first, don't you want to escape!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Fan. You see if you tell them to loosen it first, my trouser pockets are about to come down, this is going to be ugly in public!"

"Two, I am the county yamen to arrest Zhang Yifan, this person was taken by me to the yamen to ask for the crime, you see if you let go of your hand first. This son, let's see if you should deal with the injuries first. Zhang Yifan clenched his fists and said to the scholars.

When the scholar and the little lady heard Zhang Yifan say this, they let go, then sorted out their clothes, and said to Zhang Yifan: "Xiaomin Chen Shenzhi is a child in Shenhu Village, this is my lady Wu Yulan." When we were buying books in the bookstore, we saw this Zhang San'er stealing people's money, so we stepped forward to stop it. Xiaomin vomited blood because of his own physical reasons, infected with lung cold, and occasionally vomited blood, which is no wonder this Zhang San'er. But the little people were hit hard by this guy, and I asked the master to punish this guy severely. ”

Zhang Yifan had a general understanding of this matter, it was not how bad it was, and after summing it up, he had an idea in his heart. "Zhang San'er, do you have any money on you?"

"Brother Fan, I only have two coins of silver. ”

"Well, take it out and make amends to this son and lady!"

"Well, that's all I have for Brother Fan, and dinner hasn't arrived yet. Zhang San'er said with a bitter face.

"It's okay if you don't give it, and when the board comes, I'll ask the adults to add twenty more to you, so that you can be quiet at home for a while." ”

"Don't, don't, Brother Fan, can't I give it. Zhang San'er hurriedly responded with a sad face.

Zhang San gave the silver to the scholar, and then took the initiative to stand behind Zhang San. Zhang Yifan asked Chen Shenzhi to pay attention to his body, buy some supplements with silver, and the scholar thanked him, and then took the little lady to say goodbye to Zhang Yifan. Zhang Yifan evacuated the crowd, then asked the bookstore owner to buy two ancient dictionaries, and then left South Street with Zhang San'er.
