Chapter 237

When I heard Wang Xiaoran say that I could work with him on subsequent cases, I took a deep breath. No matter what, I had to cheer up.

I must save Mai Xiaorou too.

So I asked Wang Xiaoran on the phone what the subsequent case would be like.

Wang Xiaoran didn’t explain it to me in detail on the phone. He just told me and Nangong Fanxong to rush over quickly.

After hanging up the phone, I went to knock on Nangong Fanxong's door. After knocking a few times, I heard her say to me: "I heard it all. Go downstairs and wait for me while I change my clothes!"

Change clothes? I really don’t know what Nangong Fancong is doing.

I went downstairs and waited for about ten minutes before Nangong Fancong slowly came out of the unit building. She changed back to ancient clothes. When I saw this, I was stunned and asked her why she was wearing her previous clothes again and acting like this.

What an inconvenient case.

Nangong Fancong snorted and said, "What I wear is my own business. Do you want to take care of it?"

Seeing that Nangong Fanxing's temper was getting worse, I didn't say any more.

When we arrived at Tangfu Teahouse, we found Wang Xiaoran waiting for us at the door of the teahouse. Seeing Nangong Fan Xing put on his ancient costume, Wang Xiaoran also looked at it for a few more times and then smiled and said: "Taoist Nangong's appearance in ancient costume is really like a fairy descending to earth.

Average, really beautiful."

Nangong Fanxong looked at me and said, "It's a pity that some people think that I am in the way of wearing something like this."

I didn't say anything, but Wang Xiaoran smiled and said: "This case is still in the Taihang Mountains in North China. The place we are going to this time is called Nianzigou. There are currently only seven or eight households in that village."

Nianzigou?

I asked Wang Xiaoran if Nianzigou was related to one of the three colors of white, red and purple celestial foxes.

Wang Xiaoran said: "It's a white fox. Let's get in the car and drive on. I'll tell you slowly on the way."

With that said, Wang Xiaoran led Nangong Fan and I into a black car.

Wang Xiaoran drove the car himself, I served as the co-pilot, and Nangong Fancong rested in the back seat with his eyes closed.

After the car drove for a while, Wang Xiaoran told me this story.

The story takes place in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. At that time, the situation was turbulent, the whole country was at war for years, and the people were miserable.

Many people took their families and hid in the mountains to avoid the war.

The protagonist of the story is Zhao Yinglai, who is from Shanxi. He is a wealthy businessman. Later, because he offended the officials, he fled to Nianzigou with his family.

There are seven people in their family, including his parents, wife, and three children, two girls and one boy.

At that time, Nianzigou had no name, it was just a deep ravine. Zhao Yinglai and his family hid in the ravine to rest when they were tired from running. They were tired and hungry at the time, so they found some wild wild jujubes in the nearby mountains to attack.

When they were eating wild jujubes, they noticed a wisp of cooking smoke rising from the ravine. They had been living on eating wild wild jujubes these days and had long forgotten the taste of rice and noodles. When they saw the wisp of cooking smoke, they seemed to smell the fragrant food.

The taste of steamed buns and millet porridge.

Although Zhao Yinglai's family was fleeing, they took a lot of money with them when they fled, so they wanted to use the money to exchange for some food.

The people living in the deep mountains should not suspect that they are the ones facing lawsuits. They just think that they are fleeing the war, so they should be able to get away with it.

Zhao Yinglai's family of seven continued walking into the ravine. After walking for more than two miles, they found a fenced yard. Smoke was coming from a house in the yard.

There is also a very small roller in the yard. The roller is about the size of a person's arms and only about half a foot high.

And what pulls the rolling stones on the grinding plate is a little fox covered in white.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yinglai's family was stunned. They had never seen a fox pull a millstone, even a small millstone!

After discovering Zhao Yinglai's family, the little fox seemed to be frightened. He broke free from the rope that was tied to the stone and ran into the house.

After a while, a young man in white clothes walked out of the room. He looked handsome, like a scholar.

When the young man in white saw Zhao Yinglai's family, he asked them what they were doing here.

Zhao Yinglai hurriedly told the young man what he had planned in advance, and then said: "We are just passing through here to escape. We have some money with us, and we want to exchange it for some food from you. I don't know if it is convenient."

The young man in white smiled and said: "Of course it's possible. My home is deep in the mountains. I farm my own land and am self-sufficient. I still have no shortage of food."

With that said, the young man in white invited Zhao Yinglai and his family into the house.

Zhao Yinglai curiously asked the young man in white what was going on when he saw a fox pulling a small millstone in the yard just now.

The young man in white said that the fox was raised by him and was very obedient. He often did housework for him, but he would hide when strangers came to the house.

Although Zhao Yinglai was curious, he did not continue to ask because what he cared about most was food.

The young man in white asked Zhao Yinglai and his family to wait in the house for a while, and then he brought a lot of steamed buns and millet porridge.

Zhao Yinglai was very curious. At that time, there were very few white flour steamed buns. Even a wealthy family like his usually steamed white flour with sorghum noodles and rice noodles to make steamed buns. Pure white flour was rarely used, but the steamed buns he eats now

It's pure white flour.

And there are many more on the table in front of him.

Zhao Ying came to ask the young man in white where he got these white noodles.

The young man in white said that he grew them all by himself.

The young man in white probably hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he was very hospitable, so he left Zhao Yinglai and his family to stay here.

Zhao Yinglai and his family were tired from running around for days. They felt that it was quite safe in the deep mountains, so they accepted the kindness of the young man in white and stayed here.

Only then did Zhao Yinglai ask about the young man in white—Bai He.

At night, when Zhao Yinglai got up for the night, he found that the millstone in the yard was spinning again. He took a closer look and saw that the little white fox pulling the mill was back.

It's big, but the weight seems to be not small, and it still grinds those wheat into flour.

Then the little white fox stood up and picked up a small sieve to separate the flour and bran.

Then he put the flour into a pocket.

Then it continued to pull the mill, and Zhao Yinglai discovered that the little white fox did not put wheat on the small mill, but a lot of wheat appeared on the mill out of thin air. The little white fox continued to pull the mill, and then produced new flour.

Come.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yinglai understood that the little noodle was a treasure, a treasure that could grind out unlimited white noodles.

However, Zhao Yinglai did not have any evil thoughts, because he felt that the person who could use this treasure must not be an ordinary person. Maybe the young man in white during the day was an immortal.

And that clever little fox is the fairy pet raised by the gods.

After having this idea, Zhao Yinglai showed special respect to the young man in white in the following days.

Zhao Yinglai and others have been living here for more than a month. On this day, the young master in white told Zhao Ying that since they like to live here, they should build a house here, and he will give half of his land to Zhao Yinglai for farming.

, let them settle here.

Zhao Yinglai also quickly agreed.

Therefore, Nianzigou Village gradually emerged.

Wang Xiaoran's story suddenly stopped at this point. I was a little curious and said, "That's it. Now, what about the young man in white, the magical little nianzi and the little white fox?"

Wang Xiaoran said: "I found these in a book dug out of an ancient tomb in Nianzigou Village. The story ends here. If you ask me what happened next, I don't know."

"But I can tell you something else!"

While Wang Xiaoran was driving, he did not forget to tell the truth.

I asked him: "If you have anything, just tell us directly and don't be too pretentious."

Wang Xiaoran then continued: "I have seen the small grinder in the story that keeps grinding out white flour in another ancient book."

I'm curious about the ancient books.

Before Wang Xiaoran could speak, Nangong Fanxin closed his eyes and said in the back seat: "It appears in the "Blue Paper Heavenly Book". According to the records in the translation of the Heavenly Book, the small roller should be called Yuntian Nian. It is said that it can grind the white clouds in the sky into

Flour for human consumption!”

"And Yuntian Nian is the treasure of the single white fox clan among the four foxes in Qingqiu!"

I am curious to ask what is the "Blue Paper Heavenly Book"?

Wang Xiaoran said: "A long time ago, a heavenly book was written by a Taoist master. To ordinary people, the heavenly book is just a piece of blue paper, but he saw many Taoist techniques, legends, and even treasure maps from the heavenly book. He

So I wrote everything I saw into a book and named it "The Heavenly Book on Blue Paper."

"That book is very famous, but it's a pity that the monk's life was short. The book survived, but others disappeared. No one even knows his name."

Blue Paper Heavenly Book!

I suddenly became somewhat interested in that heavenly book.

At this time, I suddenly had a feeling that what Wang Xiaoran was looking for couldn't be the Book of Heaven, right?

Thinking of this, I asked Wang Xiaoran if it was true?

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled at me and said, "You will know later!"

I'm sure that even if the thing Wang Xiaoran wants to find is not the Blue Paper Heavenly Book, it must be related to the Heavenly Book.

Wang Xiaoran didn't say anything now, and I didn't continue to ask. Instead, I said jokingly to Wang Xiaoran: "You just said that you found this story from an ancient tomb in Nianzigou. I didn't expect that you also work part-time as a tomb robber!"

"

Wang Xiaoran said with a smile: "I was just passing by and happened to find that tomb, and then I went in on a whim, and I made a discovery!"

Nangong Fan said from the back seat: "You should be going for those ancient tombs. As for why you went to find that ancient tomb, there should be some other clues, and that clue let you know that ancient tomb

There is news in there, you definitely didn’t just happen to be passing by!”

Nangong Fanxong and I have the same idea.

Wang Xiaoran smiled and said: "It seems that I can't hide it from you two smart people, so next, I will tell you about this clue!" (To be continued)
