In this way, after washing, the two of them lay down on the same bed, each wrapped in their own quilt.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
Leng Mo Ran closed his eyes slightly and said casually: "I don't know, let's take a step and see."
Xiao Xixi:? Is it so casual?
She didn’t believe it, he definitely didn’t want to tell her!
Xiao Xixi breathed out dissatisfiedly, turned to face the wall, and ignored him.
The system prompt sounds.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of improving the couple's loving acting skills, and the reward points are 50 points.]
After a hard day, I finally heard something happy.
Looking at the point balance of -608, Xiao Xixi did the math. If she could get 50 points for showing affection every day, she would be able to realize her dream of spending money in the mall after waiting for another 13 days.
Thinking of these, she fell asleep happily.
A dreamless night.
When Xiao Xixi woke up the next day, Leng Moran had no idea where he had gone.
She got up, washed herself briefly with the hot water prepared by the inn waiter, then sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair into a simple bun.
Although she has life skills, it is still in modern times. She can't do complicated buns, but she has learned simple ones.
Leng Moran came in with a food box and found Xiao Xixi getting ready to go out.
He put the food box on the table and said, "Eat quickly, and leave early after eating."
Xiao Xixi sat down at the dining table, opened the food box, and took out warm white porridge, steamed buns, and a few plates of side dishes.
She picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat, then she remembered Leng Moran, looked up at him, and asked, "Your Highness, don't you want to eat?"
"I'm out and there is no prince. I've eaten."
Xiao Xixi held her chopsticks and nodded: "I understand, husband, I want to start eating!"
Then, she picked up her chopsticks and ate quickly, with a pleased expression on her face.
Leng Moran sat aside and looked at her, feeling for a moment that this woman was eating such a simple breakfast into a banquet.
Fortunately, she ate quickly enough and Leng Moran didn't rush her.
After Xiao Xixi finished eating, she quickly packed up her things, and then the group set off and continued walking forward.
There were not many sellers in the county town, so Xiao Xixi asked Feng Yan to buy some steamed buns and some rice noodles. Anyway, they had a carriage and were not afraid of buying too much. This way, they could make their own food if they couldn't buy anything on the way.
I also bought some fresh vegetables and fruits. I don’t know when I will go to the city next time.
Sure enough, at noon, they still stopped at an unknown place with no store in sight.
Fortunately, there is a small river next to it, and you can see nearby villages, so you don't have to worry about wild animals and wild boars.
Seeing the fish swimming happily in the water, Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up, and she turned around and asked Feng Yan: "Can you catch fish?"
Feng Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Leng Mo Ran, who nodded lightly towards him.
Feng Yancai replied: "Yes..."
Actually, he wasn't sure. He had never caught it before, but it shouldn't be difficult.
Xiao Xixi picked up a tree branch and handed it to him: "Come on, I'll keep an eye on you~"
Feng Yan took the branch and walked confidently to the river. He spotted a fish and stabbed it quickly and accurately.
But it was empty.
Feng Yan was not convinced and fished a few more times, but not a single fish was caught.
Xiao Xixi shook her head and sighed: "It seems that I can't drink this fish soup."
She was about to wash vegetables and cook when she heard Feng Yan's exclamation.
"Corpse...corpse..."
Logically speaking, as a guard, Feng Yan shouldn't be so surprised when he saw the corpse. The main reason was that he was immersed in the thoughts of catching fish. When he suddenly saw the corpse, he couldn't react for a while, so he stuttered.
Xiao Xixi raised her eyes and looked over, and sure enough she saw something floating on the river. Since it was far away, she couldn't tell whether it was a corpse or not.
Feng Yan asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to salvage it?"
Leng Moran was surprised that Xiao Xixi was not afraid at all. He said solemnly: "Pull it up and confirm the identity of the deceased."
Unexpectedly, he encountered a murder the day after he left the capital.
The guards quickly fished the person out and found a female body that was swollen and soaked in water. The clothes on her body were in pieces and she must have been torn.
Judging from the degree of corruption of the female corpse, it should not have been long since she was killed.
Leng Moran ordered: "Send someone to the nearby villages to ask if anyone has disappeared in the past few days."
"Also, go to the nearby county government to report it to the officials and ask them to send someone over."
The subordinates took the order and left.
Not long after, some villagers who liked to watch the excitement came over. However, it was noon and many villagers were cooking and eating at home, so not many people came over.
The village chief also came after hearing the news. When he saw that the female body was covered with a layer of white cloth, he asked Leng Moran and others about the specific circumstances of the discovery of the female body.
After hearing this, the village chief lifted the white cloth and took a look at the female corpse. He shook his head and said, "This person is not from my Hedong Village."
Feng Yan asked: "Are you sure?"
The village chief said firmly: "I have grown up in Hedong Village since I was a child. I know everyone in the village. And no one in our village has gone missing recently, so it cannot be someone from our village."
When mentioning the disappearance, another person suddenly said: "Xinghua from Hexi Village has been missing for three days. Yesterday I went to the town to buy noodles and saw Xinghua's parents carrying a portrait and asking from door to door. How pitiful."
Feng Yan caught the information and asked quickly: "Then do you recognize Xinghua?"
The aunt waved her hand quickly: "No, I don't recognize it. Besides, even if I recognized it, I wouldn't dare to look at it. I'm too timid."
Feng Yan looked at the people watching: "Does anyone know him?"
The people looked at each other, and none of them recognized Xinghua, and they could not confirm the identity of the deceased.
A young man volunteered and said: "I have good legs and feet. I will go to Hexi Village to find someone and ask them to come and take a look."
Feng Yan nodded to him: "Thank you."
Soon, a group of people rushed over, and in the middle were two haggard-looking old couples.
The old woman walked over, lifted a corner of the white cloth with shaking hands, and saw the female body lying on the ground. Her tears couldn't stop falling, and she collapsed on the ground with her legs weak.
"It's my Xinghua, my Xinghua."
Others hurriedly helped the old woman and persuaded her one after another: "Ms. Xinghua, people cannot be resurrected after death. Please be more liberal."
Xinghua's father also twitched with his facial features, and tears silently fell from the corners of his eyes.
A group of people cried instantly by the river.
Xiao Xixi felt her heart aching when she heard the crying.
Leng Moran glanced at the crowd and found a man who looked nervous, with unbearable and doubtful eyes flashing.
What he couldn't bear was that his sweetheart was gone like this, and what he was confused about was why his sweetheart was gone.
At this time, the government officials and police officers had also arrived.
When the yamen servant saw that Leng Moran and his party were dressed in unusual clothes, he spoke politely, "Is this the corpse that you guys found?"
Feng Yan nodded, and then told the story of how they passed by, rested by the river, and accidentally discovered the body.
The yamen officer silently made a note in his mind and asked Wu Zuo to check the body.
