Volume 7 Chapter 34

Lin Xi came out of the water.

It's dark outside, but it's much brighter than in the quarry, so Lin Xi can see it more clearly.

Instead of going down the river, he got out of the water and climbed straight up the cliff.

There is moonlight.

The clear stream of water flowed down his skin, making his skin look smoother, more elastic, full of a kind of hidden power.

His black hair fluttered slowly in the night, and the fresh mountain wind inhaled into his chest and lungs, making him more satisfied with his own state, only feeling as fresh as a complete rebirth.

In the moonlight, Lin Xi slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.

He looked around silently, and saw the trace of someone stationed on the opposite cliff, but no one appeared in his sight again. So he stretched himself hard, his muscles and bones made a slight burst, and then he took a long breath, turned around and walked into the forest behind.

Under the moonlight, the mountain forest is more quiet. Lin Xi suddenly smells a refreshing faint fragrance.

Attracted by the elegant fragrance, Lin Xi, who was a little surprised, walked under an old tree. Then he suddenly realized that it was a bunch of orchids with tiny purple flowers.

……

At the foot of the mountain, in a small village and a house beside a small canal, an ordinary woman with a cloth towel is kneading her face.

This kind of flour rubs hard for half an hour, then uses the big stone to press, the dumpling which makes will be very delicate and smooth.

All of a sudden, the woman who specially made noodles for the dumpling shop felt that someone was looking at her, and she turned around in surprise.

Then she opened her mouth in surprise.

She saw a young man in rags smiling at her embarrassed.

The young man's coat was almost all broken, but to her surprise, the young man gave her a sense of extraordinary cleanliness.

Coupled with the shyness and politeness of the young man, she intuitively felt that he was not a bad person and didn't make any surprise calls.

Then she saw a bunch of lavender orchids in the hands of the young man.

"Are you a Cailan from the city?"

The ordinary middle-aged woman, who was also a little shy, had some reactions. She rubbed the flour particles on her rough hands and said, "it's too late to go out of the mountain and lost her way. So far, she has come out? Can I help you What do you want to eat? "

"But congratulations on finding such an orchid." The faint fragrance came from the air. The woman, who was usually only accompanied by heat and dough, looked at the lavender orchid in the young man's hand and said with admiration.

Orchids have always been very valuable in Donglin province. There are Cailan people in the provincial city. Yunqin orchids are also expensive in dark color. Such a cluster of purple orchids is worth a lot of silver.

The young man shook his head with embarrassment, indicating that he didn't need to prepare any food for him, but looked at the clothes hanger outside the house with embarrassment.

There is a common men's coarse cloth clothes on the clothes hanger.

The middle-aged woman suddenly understood. She smiled and said: "if you want to go to the provincial capital, you can't be naked. If you don't like it, this dress will be given to you."

"Thank you." The young man also smiled. Obviously, he thought he was too formal. So he came up and put the orchid in his hand on the windowsill in front of the woman. "Here are some orchids for you."

This As soon as the woman stayed, she knew that the orchid was valuable. Even if she had to refuse, the young man waved to her, took the dress, and disappeared into the night in a few steps.

The middle-aged woman is like a dream, but the orchids with elegant and dark fragrance are real.

She knew that the orchids might be worth at least one year's hard work, but looking at the thin but fresh flowers and smelling the quiet fragrance, she liked them more and more, but she was reluctant to take them out for sale. Finally, she found a clean tile basin and planted them carefully.

She likes it with all her heart.

……

In the bright moonlight, general Yun Qin sat on the river beach with a solemn face. Looking at the cheerfulness of his subordinates who had followed him for a long time, his cool face also showed some soft lines.

Dozens of cloud Qin soldiers in black armor buried pots on the beach of Lianghe River to make rice.

More than ten days later, Lin Xi still hasn't appeared, as if it has disappeared from the world. The monks and the army have been removed one after another, the mountain closure order has been lifted, and the layers of steel wire nets that block the sanmaofeng mountain stream to the Lianghe River exit have all been collected. Although they haven't played any role in the encirclement of Lin Xi, these steel wire nets also have a lot of big hooks Fish.

Especially many of them are still very fresh.

His dozens of elite soldiers in black armor are happily taking out the most fresh and fat big fish from these steel wire nets, scraping scales and killing fish for cooking.

The general knew that his subordinates seldom had such a time of relaxation and happiness, so his mood was also affected and he was also happy because of their happiness.

"Master Lu!"

However, just as some of the killed fish have been put into the pot, and the smell of hot oil has spread out on the river beach, suddenly a soldier's hurried exclamation disrupts the calm.

"What?"

General Yun Qin's face became colder and colder. He knew that there must be something different. He just jumped in front of the soldier.

The soldier looked at him and took a deep breath, but he didn't speak. He just handed the big fish in his hand to him.

In the moonlight, he immediately saw clearly that there was a hook in the belly of the fish, a simple hook made of fish bones, and a broken line connected with it, which was made of bark.

His body stiffened for a moment, and suddenly turned to the direction of the mountain stream.

An incredible and shocking emotion filled every part of his body.

The mountain stream was completely blocked in the past, and no one else could fish in it Even if it is fishing, there is no need to use such a simple thing.

So there is only one possibility, Lin Xi!

Lin Xi is still alive He has been in the mountain stream!

All the elite soldiers in black armour who knew that they had changed gathered in a moment, and they all saw the hook in the belly of the big fish immediately, and they also immediately responded. Suddenly, silence and incredible shock spread among the group.

……

……

On a hot afternoon, many people couldn't bear the heat and sleepiness outside. When they began to take a nap, a young man walked into the provincial capital of Donglin.

Maybe he thought the sun was too dazzling. He took a lotus leaf to block the sun. It seemed that he was walking aimlessly in the streets of the city.

In addition to his handsome face and clean body, the young man did not attract the attention of ordinary people in the provincial city.

However, just after the young man entered the provincial capital and walked less than a thousand steps, the peaceful afternoon of the provincial capital suddenly became noisy.

A lot of people surrounded the young man, and then more people in official uniforms came, and even the sound of iron hooves rose. Many soldiers rushed to the street.

The young man with a lotus leaf is just waiting quietly. Standing in the shade of a willow tree, he calmly looks at the officials and soldiers with all kinds of unspeakable emotions outside him. He looks at Xiao tieleng, who finally appears in front of him. He laughs innocuously and says: "what's the matter, Mr. Xiao? Why are so many people like the enemy? "

……

There is a pond in the courtyard of a quiet mansion in the provincial capital.

Xue Wantao looked at the goldfish in the pond and then drank a bowl of strong and bitter medicine.

The gauze he had replaced was finally free of blood, and the injury finally began to improve.

There was a rush of footsteps breaking into his ears, and a servant entered the courtyard quickly. He was afraid to go to the front, but stopped at the gate of the courtyard, bowed his head, and trembled: "Lin Xi is still alive It's in the provincial capital. "

"Snap"!

The thick porcelain medicine bowl broke into pieces in Xue Wantao's right hand. His face slightly twitched. Pieces of broken porcelain shot into the pond in front of him. Many of them stabbed into the body of the swimming goldfish. The pond in front of him became a blood pool.

Xue took a deep breath and raised his head.

He felt the killing intention swimming in the air, from his body, and from the provincial city, somewhere in his imagination, from Lin Xi. It's just from his imagination, but it's very real.

At about the same time, Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan also heard the rapid footsteps in another courtyard in the provincial capital.

When she walked out of their houses, she only saw the face of the officials of the Ministry of criminal justice who had entered, and then she began to laugh. Her teeth were bared with laughter, and all the worries and gloom in the past ten days were laughed out, so that her usually very weak girl was also full of rebellious and unruly at this time.

Looking at the officer, she asked proudly, "Lin Xi is back? Where is he now? "

……

The rooms of the criminal division are very high and the colors are cold and hard, so they are also cool and refreshing in summer.

Lin Xi is very happy to sit on the chair and drink tea.

Around him sat more than seven officials of five grades.

Xiao tieleng sat in the seat nearest to him and drank tea without expression. For a while, no one spoke.

Suddenly, Lin Xi put down the cup of tea in his hand and waved to the door with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan come in from the door.

Looking at Lin Xi, who has no lack of the anything, they both let go of the their hearts, breathed a sigh, nodded to Lin Xi and laughed.

"Where have you been these days?"

At this time, Xiao tieleng also put down the tea cup in his hand, and his voice sounded coldly.

Also at this time, the afternoon sun at the door was blocked by the human figure. Xue Wantao, wearing official uniform, also came in from the door.
