Qin Shaobai woke up and found himself lying at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, lying on the ruins of the Lu family porcelain kiln that had been burned by fire.
There seemed to be a burning smell lingering in the air, which made Qin Shaobai couldn't help but cough a few times.
It is easy to deduce that Zhao Bai stayed here until dawn last night.
Qin Shaobai shook his head as he walked back.
He found that something was very wrong with Zhao Bai recently. First of all, the contents in the handover book were getting simpler and simpler, as if he was unwilling to tell Qin Shaobai his thoughts and opinions. Furthermore, even in this place where he woke up,
It's getting weirder and weirder.
This time, I can be at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. Next time, I don’t know if I will be at the top of Phoenix Mountain.
Today is already the eighth day of March, a beautiful day full of spring. At the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, there are pink willows and green grass, and the grass is growing and warblers are flying.
After walking forward for a while, the decadent feeling of the porcelain kiln was replaced by the strong feeling of spring.
Qin Shaobai also felt a ray of joy in his heart. He looked at the sky. The sun was just right, gentle and gentle, and the wind from the willows that was not cold on his face actually reminded Qin Shaobai of being with Mu Qing.
It feels like a spring outing during the holidays.
In front of him, there was an equally youthful and beautiful face.
For some reason, Qin Shaobai felt a pain in his heart when Mei Qingyi's face appeared in his mind.
Continuing to walk forward, we arrived at a bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves were very green, and there were small bamboo shoots starting to move under the yellow leaves that had fallen to the ground, just waiting for the rain during the Qingming Festival to break out of the enemy.
,Soar.
There are two roads ahead.
One goes around the bamboo forest, and the other goes through the bamboo forest.
Qin Shaobai thought for a while and decided to walk through the bamboo forest.
He had to return to the Qin Mansion before Xiaolan asked him to have breakfast.
These days, he clearly felt that Xiaolan was in a bad mood, and he could no longer let Xiaolan be anxious because she couldn't find him.
After entering the bamboo forest, Qin Shaobai began to regret a little.
The bamboos in this bamboo forest cannot be described as lush at all, and adding n incomparable in front of them is not an exaggeration.
There are almost no gaps between bamboos, just like green walls built of bamboos, layer after layer.
Qin Shaobai carefully searched for a place to stay, step by step, and it felt like it took longer than the circle.
Suddenly, something tripped under his feet, and he rushed forward, bending a bamboo branch.
The bent bamboo actually turned into a crossbow, using its huge rebound force to bounce Qin Shaobai forward.
Qin Shaobai didn't expect such a move, and he forgot to raise his energy for a moment. He just screamed and flew out.
As he watched himself fly over the bamboo forest, he discovered that there was actually a lake outside the bamboo forest, a lake that was ten meters wide.
Before he could restrain his body, he heard a splash and his whole body was shot into the lake.
The lake water was immediately stimulated by the huge momentum, revealing a huge whirlpool.
Then, something seemed to be under the water, and it actually pushed Qin Shaobai up.
Qin Shaobai lowered his head and looked, oh my God, it was a big one, a big one that he had not seen for a long time.
Big, big, you, why are you here?
The big man couldn't answer him. He just leaped up and flew towards the lake shore. His huge body landed lightly on a piece of grass by the lake, and then suppressed the snake's tail like a horse.
Qin Shaobai felt like he was on a slide, sliding down from the big man's tail.
He was about to touch the big man, but who knew that the big man's body had already jumped up, and then slipped into the lake quietly.
In the vast wilderness, Qin Shaobai was left alone, standing by the lake in a daze.
"Young man, is there something in the lake?"
Qin Shaobai turned around and saw an energetic man standing next to him.
Judging from his appearance, he should be around forty, but his eyes are bright and lively, and he is more energetic than the average young man in his twenties.
"Uncle." Qin Shaobai bowed his hands in a very polite manner, "I seemed to have had an hallucination just now, and I was sorting out my thoughts."
"Hallucination?" The man laughed, "You are really interesting as a young man. How can you have hallucinations in this clear sky?"
As he spoke, the man's hand actually grasped Qin Shaobai's wrist: "The pulse is steady and strong, and the beating amplitude is even stronger than that of ordinary people, which means there is nothing wrong with your body at all."
After saying that, he actually lifted up Qin Shaobai's eyelids again and took a closer look at Qin Shaobai's eyes: "The eyes are dark, the eyes are clean, and the heart seems to be quite normal."
Qin Shaobai's heart was gently tapped, and then the middle-aged man stood aside and looked at the lake.
"Since there is nothing wrong with your body and soul, the problem should be this lake. How about we drain the water from this lake and see what's in it?"
Qin Shaobai was inexplicably treated as a patient and had his body and soul examined. He was already surprised, but now he heard this man say that the lake should be drained, and his mouth widened and his eyes widened.
, looked at him.
"You guys, go to Lin'an City and find a dozen or twenty migrant workers. They will give you ten taels of silver per person and drain the lake for me today. I would like to see what monsters are in this lake.
.”
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, five people jumped out of nowhere. They said yes and turned around to find someone in Lin'an City.
"Wait a minute." Qin Shaobai quickly stopped him.
The middle-aged man made a pause gesture: "Young man, do you have any better ideas?"
A better idea? Your idea is already weird enough, I dare you to have any better idea.
For the price you pay, not just for one day, but for ten days of work, many people will be rushing to do it. By then, I wonder if they will be beaten to death for the job.
The second point, and of course the most important point, is that if there is no water, where can the big guy hiding in the lake stay?
"No, I don't have any good ideas. I just want to tell you, uncle, that my hallucination has nothing to do with the lake or the lake water. Look, my whole body is dry, and there is no trace of lake water on it.
"
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man actually came to touch Qin Shaobai's clothes and nodded.
With a wave of his hand, the five people who stood respectfully disappeared again.
Qin Shaobai naturally knew that they had not disappeared, but that they were hiding somewhere. As long as the middle-aged man waved his hand or drank softly, he would come out immediately and do something that would make Qin Shaobai grin.
.
For example, Qin Shaobai didn't like him, so he threw him into the lake to accompany him.
At this moment, Qin Shaobai was no longer in the mood to look for the big guy, and naturally he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the lakes and mountains.
He just wanted to leave quickly.
"You look very different."
Unexpectedly, just as Qin Shaobai was about to move his steps, he heard the middle-aged man say thoughtfully.
Then, before Qin Shaobai could react, he was pulled over by the middle-aged man again.
And this time it was even more outrageous. The middle-aged man actually ordered him to take off his outer robe and said he wanted to feel his bones.
"Uncle, no need." Qin Shaobai realized that he had met a madman. This man was even crazier than Mei Wude.
"What? I feel the bones for you, do you have any objections? You know, everyone who has touched the bones of me has achieved great success, and all of them have been blessed with good fortune. They are all..."
Qin Shaobai was not in the mood to listen to this middle-aged man boasting about himself. He hugged his shoulders tightly and protected his robe pitifully.
"Do you like my five disciples to help you take off your clothes?"
The middle-aged man asked seriously.
Qin Shaobai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He pointed to the sun that had not yet come out, and made the last struggle: "Uncle, it's very cold now."
"Oh, I see."
The middle-aged man looked like he suddenly realized something: "Come here, bring me my cowhide jacket."
Cowhide jacket? What are you thinking about on this March day, uncle?
