When Yinzhen heard this, he suddenly felt emotional and sighed: "Oh, sometimes I would rather be born in an ordinary family. Even if I have to run around for a living, it would be better than this."
From the moment he landed, Yinzhen was like a son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson. He didn't need to worry about the livelihood that ordinary people care about. However, the burden on his shoulders was also much heavier than that of ordinary people. For Yinzhen, he longed for ordinary people's lives.
It's not a lie.
"That's not possible." Ling Ruo said suddenly, and at the same time reached out to hold Yinzhen's generous palm, "If the Fourth Master were an ordinary person, I would have no chance of meeting the Fourth Master."
Yinzhen knew that she was comforting him, and smiled and said: "I'm fine, but I suddenly felt emotional." Looking at the shore getting closer, he said to the boatman: "Tell me again about the demons in the West Lake.
Bar."
When he heard this, the boatman got angry and said angrily: "I don't know what's going on. It used to be peaceful for so many years, but just last year, I could always hear sounds at the bottom of the lake every night, like there was a big snake.
It's like it's rolling inside, which is scary. It's because of this that the idea of a snake demon spread like wildfire.
I don’t know exactly which one spread the news. In short, since then, the business of nighttime lake tours has dropped a lot. Even outsiders have heard about it and are too scared to come to the lake. It was like the previous night.
I can do at least ten business trips down here, and it would be nice to have two or three trips now, ugh."
The boat finally docked amid the boatman's complaints. After landing, Ling Ruo waited for Yinzhen to finish paying the boat fare and go back to the inn. Unexpectedly, she suddenly felt someone pat her back. She turned around subconsciously, only to find that there was nothing behind her.
There was no human figure, only a flash of green seemed to flash in the night sky, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Who?" Lingruo was shocked and asked the seemingly deserted surroundings, holding back the countless goosebumps that suddenly appeared on her body.
"What's wrong?" After Yinzhen paid the money, he happened to hear her scream and hurriedly came over to ask. When Ling Ruo felt that someone was patting her on the back but couldn't find anyone, he also frowned. This place is really
There was evil everywhere. As for the boatman, upon hearing this, he quickly collected his money, tied the boat to one side, and left in a hurry. Apparently he was afraid of getting into bad luck.
"Let's go back to the inn first." Before leaving, Yinzhen heard another "dong" sound. It was so muffled that he couldn't tell whether it was underground or at the bottom of the lake. It sounded particularly scary in the dark night.
After returning to the inn, he found that Yinxiang had been waiting in the room. When he saw Yinzhen coming in, he hurriedly handed over a small note, "At noon, I received a letter from Fei Ge in the mansion, saying that they found silver coins flowing to Hangzhou.
Basically, they all go from Liutong Bank. I have already gone there in the afternoon and haven’t found anything suspicious yet, but I think the shopkeeper clearly has something to hide.” Liutong Bank is a famous big bank, similar to Baoshun.
Bank accounts are generally spread all over the country.
Yinzhen thought for a while and said: "Since there is this clue, we must seize it. That's it, I will go with you early tomorrow morning."
After that, Yinxiang asked Ling Ruo about their day's itinerary. When he heard the rumor that there was a snake demon under the West Lake, this guy was so excited that he was eager to catch this snake demon. If it really happened,
What a fine old snake, the snake's gallbladder and snake skin are all treasures.
Ling Ruo was speechless for a while when he spoke. She still has lingering fears when she thinks about that moment just now. There should be no ghosts or demons in the world, but she turned around almost at the same time she was photographed, and still couldn't find any trace.
This is too incredible.
While they were talking, Li Wei walked in. He had been following those people all day today. He called Qian'er and said, "Please tell me, Fourth Master and Thirteenth Master, if I find out about the group of people following us, I will
We stayed in the Yunlai Inn, which is also a room with a local name, a few rooms away from us."
When Yinxiang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and sneered: "You are so brave. You followed us and stayed in an inn without telling us. Is it really easy for me to bully you?"
"We live in an inn. They can keep an eye on us at all times. As long as we don't find out, we won't know each other even if we bump into each other. It's so dark under the lamp!" After saying this, Yinzhen asked Li Wei what else he had discovered.
.
Li Wei said that the group was very cautious and he did not dare to follow them too close. After they entered the room, they stood at the stairs for a while. He did not hear any useful information, but he vaguely heard the cry of pigeons.
Sound, presumably they also relied on carrier pigeons to communicate with the person in the capital.
The distance between Beijing and Hangzhou is thousands of miles, and the mountains are high and the rivers are long. There are many detours, and even a good horse traveling thousands of miles away is not easy to get back and forth. In contrast, pigeons that can fly freely in the sky are much faster and more convenient.
Yinzhen's heart moved, and he ordered Li Wei to pay attention to that group of people and also to pay attention to the carrier pigeons. If he could intercept their letters, he could seize the opportunity. Only by knowing the enemy can he be in an invincible position.
Early the next morning, Yinzhen and Yinxiang went out. Before leaving, he asked Ling Ruo to rest in the inn. However, Ling Ruo was always thinking about what happened last night. Who slapped her on the back?
I'm sure it wasn't my imagination. At that moment, there was really a person or...something standing behind me.
For the first time in her life, Ling Ruo had doubts about her long-held beliefs. What secrets were hidden in the picturesque West Lake? Is the legend of the white snake and the green snake true?
Curiosity kept scratching Ling Ruo's heart like a cat's claw. After much deliberation, he decided to go to West Lake again. After a quick snack, he took Mo Yu with him.
During the day, the West Lake was still full of tourists and bustling with people. In the past, Mo Yu would have been extremely happy to see such a lively scene, but at this moment, he seemed frightened and uneasy, following Ling Ruo closely and not daring to leave.
For a moment, a leaf occasionally fell on her shoulder. She was so frightened that she jumped up, attracting a lot of attention from both sides.
Her appearance made Ling Ruo burst into laughter. He shook his head and comforted: "Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you'll scare yourself to death before the monster comes. Don't worry, even if there is a monster, it won't dare to appear in broad daylight."
.”
After Mo Yu hurriedly patted the fallen leaves off his shoulders, he held Ling Ruo's sleeve and said seriously: "No, I heard Mr. Shu said that only ghosts are afraid of the sun, and demons don't care, otherwise neither can the white snake."
Marry Xu Xian."
Ling Ruo knew that the theory of ghosts and gods had penetrated deeply into Mo Yu's heart and could not be changed by a few words. She stopped talking and continued walking with the tourists. Soon she arrived at the place where she boarded the boat last night. It was dark last night and she did not pay attention.
At this moment, I discovered that there was a bamboo forest that grew very well not far away. The autumn mood did not leave any trace on them. They were still tall and green. The dense bamboo leaves blocked the sunlight that fell, making the bamboo forest full of light.
