Ling'er walked into the house and wanted to see where Brother Qi Yang lived.
After Ling'er adapted to the darkness, she could vaguely see the layout of the room. This is a very small room, so small that it can only fit a small bed. Other than that, it can't even fit a large table, let alone other wardrobes and so on.
The house is too small and doesn't even have windows. Fortunately, the weather is dry at this time, and there is no musty smell even if there is no ventilation.
Ling'er only took one step to reach the bed, and couldn't help but lean over and touch the bed. The bed was very hard, with only a thin mattress covering it, which was vastly different from the guest room she stayed in.
Is this the good treatment Bing'er said? Ling'er bit her lip, feeling very distressed, but she knew that Brother Qi Yang wouldn't care about this. Brother Qi Yang could endure hardship better than anyone else.
Ling'er sat on the bed, wanting to wait for Qi Yang to come back. She knew that Brother Qi Yang wouldn't be back for a while, but how could she be willing to go back like this?
I don’t know how long it took, but just when Ling’er was yawning again and again, she heard some movement outside.
Ling'er thought it was Qi Yang who was back, so she ran out without thinking. However, the figure under the faint moonlight was very strange.
"Miss Ling'er?" the person suddenly said.
Ling'er recognized the voice and said in surprise: "Brother Zhang?"
The person coming is Zhang Ziran.
Zhang Ziran didn't speak again, but waved to Ling'er and left Nanyuan first.
Ling'er immediately started Qinggong and followed him.
Zhang Ziran stopped when he was far away from the backyard.
"Why is Miss Ling'er there?" Zhang Ziran asked strangely.
"I..." Ling'er hesitated before saying, "I'm looking for Uncle Yang."
"Girl, you are too courageous!" Zhang Ziran scolded, "This is Beifeng Village, a den of bandits. Aren't you afraid of being in danger if you run out alone in the middle of the night?"
Ling'er knew that she was wrong and lowered her head without daring to say a word.
"Master Ji gave us a task tonight, so he left Young Master Zhong Long in the courtyard to protect you and Mr. Ji. Isn't Young Master Zhong Long too negligent? He didn't notice the girl leaving the courtyard?" Zhang Ziran did not ask why Ling'er ran out, but instead blamed Zhong Long.
"What mission?" Ling'er asked curiously.
"That's it. The leader of Village Teng called together the brothers who came from Jinniu Village tonight and asked who knew the inside story of the murder case in Gaoyakou Village. No one answered at that time. Master Ji thought that among these people, there were some from Jinniu Village Xizuo will definitely escape secretly tonight, so he asked us to guard everywhere. I will be responsible for the east area and find a way to contact 'Uncle Yang' at the same time." Zhang Ziran replied.
"Uncle Yang seems to be away." Ling'er said.
"I discovered it before I went down," Zhang Ziran said.
"Do you also know which room Uncle Yang lives in?" Ling'er asked in surprise.
"No, I only knew that he lived in the backyard before I came down. If he was here, he would definitely show up in the backyard when he noticed that he came down." Zhang Ziran said.
"That's it." Ling'er nodded.
Ling'er knew that Zhang Ziran was the only person who knew Uncle Yang's true identity, so he hesitated to confirm Uncle Yang's identity with Zhang Ziran. But she finally decided not to ask. Firstly, it was because Zhang Ziran was willing to tell her without knowing; secondly, as long as Uncle Yang was Qi Yang, she could recognize him when she saw him.
"I'll send the girl back first! The situation tonight is special, it's safer for the girl to stay in the yard." Zhang Ziran didn't give Ling'er a chance to object, and motioned for Ling'er to follow him back.
Ling'er glanced at the backyard reluctantly before following Zhang Ziran's pace.

One night passed, and Ji Cangyu and the others' work was in vain. The few minions who came to seek refuge from Jinniu Village did not make any move.
And Ling'er also had no sleep all night, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of Qi Yang, and her longing lingered in her heart and she could not get rid of it.
Early in the morning, Bing'er waited dutifully in the yard. When she heard some movement in the room, she brought the washing things in.
"Miss Ling'er, how did you sleep last night?" Bing'er asked with a smile.
Ling'er had two big dark circles under her eyes and nodded guiltily.
Bing'er didn't expose Ling'er and said, "You freshen up first, and my servant will bring you breakfast later."
"Okay. By the way, when do you start cleaning here?" Ling'er couldn't help but ask.
"You want to see Uncle Yang, right? It will start at dawn." Bing'er replied.
"So early!" Ling'er frowned. I'm afraid Brother Qiyang has been exhausted these days, right? I have to work during the day and can't have a good rest at night.
"Yes!" Bing'er said while tidying up the room.
"Then which yard is Uncle Yang responsible for cleaning?" Ling'er asked again.
"He has to clean every yard." Bing'er replied.
"What? There are so many yards and he cleans them all by himself?" Ling'er asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Bing'er didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Ling'er couldn't believe it. Beifeng Village was bullying the hard workers!
Bing'er smiled and said: "You are the eldest lady, so naturally you don't understand the life of servants like us. We are all used to it."
Ling'er thought distressedly: "Although Brother Qi Yang was not born as a young master, he is also a respectable second master Qi in the capital. I didn't expect that he would be reduced to cleaning your yard! And you said he is used to it!"
"Although Uncle Yang has a rickets on his back, he works very efficiently." Bing'er said.
"If I want to see Uncle Yang, where should I go to find him?" Ling'er asked quickly.
"You don't have to go anywhere, just wait here. When he cleans this yard, you can see him." Bing'er said with a smile.
"How long will it take to wait?" Ling'er frowned, how could she wait?
"This slave doesn't know." Bing'er said with a smile, "If you don't wait here, you won't be able to find him. Because no one knows where he started cleaning, and no one knows where he has been cleaning at this time. "
Ling'er felt melancholy that she couldn't find Qi Yang for a while, but at the same time she felt that this was a good idea. In this way, Qi Yang can move much more freely.

Ji Cangyu discussed with Teng Fei and planned to separate the seven minions who came from Jinniu Village to persuade them one by one, hoping to find clues about the murderer.
Ji Cangyu and the others went to get down to business, while Ling'er checked Teng Fei's wife's pulse, wrote a prescription for conditioning, and then couldn't wait to find Uncle Yang.
But there are so many courtyards in Beifeng Village, where should you find them?
Ling'er could only try his luck, pretending to be wandering around and choosing a few courtyards to visit.
There were no people in these courtyards, and Ling'er didn't want to arouse suspicion. She paid attention to which courtyards had their fallen leaves swept, and which courtyards had their fallen leaves still scattered on the ground, and in her mind she figured out a cleaning route for Uncle Yang.
Then Ling'er waited for Uncle Yang to show up on the route she planned.
This is a small, uninhabited courtyard with only a few small pavilions, which is suitable for playing chess or playing the piano when you have nothing to do.
Ling'er was sitting in the pavilion, and soon she heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of "swish! swish! swish!" sweeping the leaves.
Ling'er stood up excitedly and stared closely at the direction of the sound. But the moment Uncle Yang's figure appeared at the door of the courtyard, a strong feeling of disappointment surged in Ling'er's heart.
Uncle Yang is not Qi Yang!
