The final result of the chasing match was that Mr. Xue Ruitian was thrown to the ground by two girls under continuous interference from the outside world, and then they beat him up with a cushion. Xue Ruitian was beaten to pieces. When I got up from the ground, I was feeling dizzy.

"I said that you two didn't save me and didn't go over to help me. Aren't you too unloyal?" Xue Ruitian limped back to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha and sat down, rubbing himself. He grabbed his neck and complained, "Those brats are the same. They are all so bad. Not only do they not help, but they are not helpful at all. They have no conscience at all. I hurt them all the time."

"How dare they make trouble with you like this on weekdays? Why don't you just take advantage of today's Chinese New Year to argue with them?" Shen Cha poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Ruitian and handed it to him, "Okay, don't be depressed. You sir are generous. Let them go. After the New Year, it won’t be too late to deal with them properly, right?”

"I like what Xiao Cha said. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It's not too late to wait for a month. What's the point of waiting?" ?See if they are...ah?"

"Talking is a must, but not now." Shen Haolin looked at Qin Zheng and Yan Bo who had been tired of spending the whole night together and didn't care what happened in the Nuan Pavilion. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Cha'er has arranged for Xiao Wu went to check, and when we have the exact information, we will ask them. Now we don’t have any information, and we will definitely be fooled by the two of them. By the way, there is one more thing to ask you, I forgot about it just now. .Looking at the map, is that ancient city closer to us or closer to Liao and Jin?"

"The ancient city belongs to us. Liao and Jin can't get through, so don't worry. Even if they know it, they can only catch up! They have a lot of chaos and troubles in their own country. It will take a lot of time to return to peace. Yes!” Will she also know about the existence of this ancient city?"

"The master left all the books related to medical skills to Miao Miao. The other notebooks and knowledge are all here with me. The master was afraid that I would be bored when I was recovering from illness, so he gave them to me to relieve my boredom. There are indeed many interesting insights in them." Shen Cha yawned and leaned against Shen Haolin, "I asked Merlin to move all those things to Huqiu. My brother and I will double them when we go back. Also, father's notes, I wonder if it also records stories about the ancient city and desert flowers."

"Okay, let's each look for relevant clues and share them together after we find them." Xue Ruitian looked at the noisy group of people over there, "This matter is limited to a few of us, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Jingjing know, the others I won’t tell Hongye, and don’t tell Jin Miaomiao and the others. We still have eyes in the city. If those people find out..."

"I understand, Brother Xiaotian, don't worry! That's what I told Xiao Wu. No one can tell this matter. Let him check it out in person and quietly." Shen Cha smiled at him and looked at The person who came to the dining room brought the dumplings over, "It's almost midnight, Brother Xiaotian, why don't you show everyone the fireworks that have been transported all the way from Xijing?"

"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me." Xue Ruitian patted his forehead, stood up and greeted people, "Qiyun, Xiao Jiujiu, Xiaojiu, and you three..." He pointed at Li Yu, Zhang Jinghe Mo Kai, "Follow me and go put flowers!"

This group of children followed Xue Ruitian like little rabbits. Jin Miaomiao and Hongye also followed. The shadows and guards also ran to the door to watch the fun. In the entire Nuo Pavilion, there were only Qin Zheng, Yan Bo, Jin Jing, Shen Cha, and Shen Haolin.

"Why don't you two go and put it away?" Jin Jing sat where Xue Ruitian was sitting just now, picked up a pair of unused chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and put it in her mouth, "You should put two pieces of small tea, go there If there is bad luck, the new year can eliminate disasters and eliminate diseases."

"Brother has already prepared it for me. When we get back, we can put it away ourselves instead of joining in the fun with the children." Shen Cha put a few dumplings into Shen Haolin's bowl, looked at Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, and asked, "Master and Uncle Yan don't give up either?"

"Your master has already prepared it. We will release it after we get back." Yan Bo said with a smile, "You have no energy this night!"

"I was pulled up after not getting enough nap. If I had followed her, she would have slept through the family dinner tonight." Shen Haolin touched Shen Cha's head and fed a dumpling into her mouth, " Let’s continue talking when we go back and set off the firecrackers later. We have to get up early tomorrow!”

It was almost half a stick of incense time when the fireworks were set off and the dumplings were eaten. The family banquet was over. Everyone said good night to each other and then went back to rest. Shen Jiu was grabbed by Shen Haolin and told him to be careful when he went back. Go to bed immediately and don't be late tomorrow morning. Shen Jiu knew this was a big deal and didn't dare to fool him, so he agreed honestly.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha asked Ying Shiqi and Ying Shiba to send Qin Zheng and Yan Bo back to their yard. They took Mei Lin and Mei Zhu back to Huqiu. They moved out the prepared firecrackers. Shen Haolin and Shen Cha Each person ordered a box and looked at the banging firecrackers flying into the sky. They silently wished each other good health and good luck in the new year.

After setting off the firecrackers, the two of them went to take a bath one after another. When they returned to the bedroom, Mei Lin and Mei Zhu had neatly placed the notes and travel notes left by Master Huilan on the soft couch.

"I don't want to watch it tonight, I don't have the energy. I'll watch it again tomorrow after I come back from the ancestor worship!" Shen Cha dried his hair, threw the handkerchief outside, yawned, climbed up on the bed, and got under the quilt. "Brother, don't you have anything to ask? About that desert flower."

"I vaguely remember that I heard you talk about this desert flower before, right?" Shen Haolin left only one candle and extinguished the others. Then he got into the quilt and put Shen Haolin out. Cha held her in his arms, kissed her forehead, and said, "I didn't care at the time. It must have been when you were very ill, so I thought you were talking nonsense, right?"

"I'm sorry that my brother still remembers this." Shen Cha found a comfortable position in Shen Haolin's arms and slowly closed his eyes, "This is the second time that Master pulled me back from the hell gate. It's really scary to think about it. I am lucky to be alive today, and I was saved by the master one after another within a month. That night, my brother came back to see me, and I told you the story that the master told me during the day. After you listen Just smile and say those are just stories, don’t take them seriously.”

"Okay, I was wrong, I wronged you, forgive me!" Shen Haolin hugged Shen Cha a little tighter, "I can confirm that this ancient city and the Desert Flower exist, but... ...that desert flower, tea, that can allow the owner to see what he desires most in his heart, no matter what, I will not believe it. There should not be such a miraculous thing in this world. I think, if In other words, I might understand."

"Brother is talking about... illusion? The kind of thing that can make people imagine?" Shen Cha hummed twice in a daze, took a deep breath, and continued, "This is very possible. , I am also more inclined to this statement. I originally heard Miaomiao say that there are many plants in the world that have such effects and can cause people to hallucinate, which is exactly the same as thinking during the day and dreaming at night."

"That is to say, it is very likely to cause people to hallucinate, right?"

"That's what happened, but I feel that even if it's an illusion, it's actually my own selfishness that's at work."

"The human heart is the scariest thing."

"That's right. One more thing, I think my father and the others have never been to that ancient city at all. From the beginning, Brother Xiaotian's inference is probably wrong. The most likely thing is that Aunt Xue noticed the uneasiness of the old master, For various reasons, most of which may be due to her dependence and love for the old marquis and her determination to protect her family, she confessed her past to the old marquis and wrote such an article. The so-called words that solve the puzzle and learn the painful truth, and the notes that record the feelings between each other." Shen Cha paused for a moment, "We can boldly guess whether there is such a possibility, then A prince from the Kingdom of Jin threatened Aunt Xue with their past relationship, and threatened that if she didn't do what he asked, he would tell Mr. Marquis about their past. I think that the prince from the Kingdom of Jin could do something like this We have all seen what Wanyanxi is like. His brother is more scheming than him, and his methods are even more fierce. Moreover, he turns his back on others and takes advantage of all the people or things that can be used. This is not the Wanyan family. Is this what people always do? So..."

"So, do you think Aunt Xue had no choice but to confess? This is possible." Shen Haolin nodded, "Think about that time, we were confronting the Liao and Jin coalition forces, and the situation was very stalemate. As the leading commander, There is no way they could have gone that far."

"The master once said that it takes five days to travel from our place to the nearest entrance to the desert, not to mention that the ancient city is deep in the desert. If they go there, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth. , this does not guarantee whether they can find the ancient city. Therefore, it is unlikely that they have actually been there. As for where the map and the treasure map came from, they really need to ask Master or Uncle Yan. "

"Let's ask Uncle Yan. Your master... not only won't answer, he might even beat us up."

"Brother, is this a sign of bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
