"Where is Qian Jing?" the killer shouted.
Qian Jing?
It was mentioned in the diary that it was a love token sent by Sister Lin to Su Chengxian. It seems that the killer was not sent by Su Chengxian, otherwise he would not have known that Qian Jing had already given it away. Looking at the development of this plot, "Qian Jing" is probably an important prop, maybe it is a jade pendant that is the key to the treasure map.
It's a pity that Lin Meizi's diary is completely an emotional stream of consciousness, and Qianjing is only mentioned once. Lin Sui'an has too little information, so he can just get the story from the mouth of this killer.
Lin Sui'an stood up and dusted off the dirt on his body, "You are the third one."
The killer was startled: "What?"
"You are the third one who came to rob Qianjing." Lin Sui'an pointed out the window, "The first two are buried outside to be used as flower fertilizer."
"Impossible!" the killer blurted out, and the next second he immediately realized that he had made a mistake. His eyes flashed, and he rushed over with a long knife in his hand. The wind of the knife made the grass mat tingle.
Emma! Seriously!
Lin Sui'an quickly retreated, but within a few steps he was forced to the wall. Seeing the light of the sword and the bloody wind approaching, at this moment, Lin Sui'an's body seemed to have touched some strange switch, and he suddenly stepped out with his left foot. With the help of the wall behind him, the whole person jumped up out of thin air. His body shrunk and turned somersault. When he came to his senses again, he landed firmly behind the killer.
The killer was shocked, and so was Lin Sui'an.
What was that just now? Muscle memory? !
Before Lin Sui'an came to his senses, the killer shouted and slashed with the rotating knife again. The speed of the knife should be very fast, but in Lin Sui'an's eyes it was very slow. She could even judge the direction of the knife, and her body He moved on his own, suddenly lowered his waist and dismounted, and crossed his wrists in a cross shape, blocking the killer's wrist holding the knife.
The blade was standing less than twenty centimeters in front of her eyes, but Lin Sui'an didn't panic at all. She could feel the killer's hand shaking crazily and exerting force, but her arms and wrists were as motionless as iron pliers. This body was telling her that the killer's strength was nothing to mention.
Suddenly, the killer's wrist clicked, sounding like it was dislocated.
The killer was sweating like beads, and the half of his face above the mask was distorted and his eyes were bleeding. "How, how is it possible?! Is it true that the rumor that the Lord of Thousand Purities can fight one against a hundred is true?!"
Wow, she still has such awesome rumors?
"Yes, it's true!" Lin Sui'an said.
No matter if he is true or not, as long as you can scare him.
The killer's pupils shrank violently, he took a few steps back, jumped out of the window and fled into the night.
Lin Sui'an took a long breath, held his chest and slowly sat on the ground. The few movements just now seemed to have stretched the injured area again, but he almost didn't vomit blood, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
The killer said that it was impossible for anyone else to rob Qian Jing, which meant that only a few people knew Qian Jing's secret. This information was good and meant that she was safe for the time being and would not be in danger of being attacked by a group.
I didn't feel the presence of Dantian Qi Rendu's second channel just now. Lin Meizi should have no internal strength, and the killer also fought hard with all his strength. Maybe this world doesn't have the setting of internal strength at all, or maybe he hasn't met a master who knows internal strength yet. People, fortunately, this body's vision and strength are amazing, so self-protection should not be a problem.
After briefly sorting out the valid information, Lin Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the messy room, rubbed his shoulders and stood up, stuffed the diary under the pillow, and lay down comfortably on the bed.
"That's it for now, let's go to bed first."
*
I slept deeply and soundly. When I opened my eyes, the sun had already risen high. The bright yellow sunlight shone on the tattered straw mat, making it look a little lonely.
Lin Sui'an stared at the window blankly. A bird flew over the eaves, bringing a wisp of cool wind.
...She really traveled through time.
After a good sleep, she felt much better. The pain in her chest had disappeared. Lin Sui'an took out new clothes from her bag and put them on. Last night's clothes were stained with sweat and blood. She didn't know if they could be washed clean. Sister Lin's clothes were stained with sweat and blood. The clothes are very distinctive, made of crow-blue cotton, with a round neck and narrow sleeves. The length of the clothes is just past the calf. The pants are very loose, similar to modern lace-up sweatpants. Lin Sui'an imitated the original owner's dress and tightened the trousers, staying in place. I danced a bit and felt quite handsome.
What was even more surprising was that a floral cloth purse was found in the clothes roll. There were two slings of copper coins in it. Lin Sui'an counted them and found that there were fifty coins in each sling. The copper coins were in the typical shape of ancient copper coins, round on the outside and square on the inside. It is white, with four characters cast around the square coin hole: Xuanyuan Tongbao.
"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door, "Ms. Lin is awake? The master of the house has invited you." It was Meng Man's voice.
It was probably going to continue the plot of Four Corners of Love in Shura Field. Lin Sui'an sighed secretly, put his wallet in his pocket, thought about it, and brought the diary with him.
The sun was shining brightly outside the door, and Meng Man had two big dark circles under his eyes. He glanced at the mess in the room, and his expression changed slightly.
Lin Sui'an was a little embarrassed: "Last night... it was a bit unexpected..."
"I'll ask the servants to come and take care of things later." I don't know if it was Lin Sui'an's misunderstanding, but Meng Man's face seemed to brighten a little, "Please follow me."
Follow the corridor around the backyard and pass through the ear gate. The front yard has a wide view. There is a pavilion built in the yard, more than ten feet high, with black tiles and columns, a brick platform, and a long bamboo curtain rolled under the eaves. Meng Man led Lin Sui'an up the steps in front of the pavilion. There was a three-sided bamboo screen on the north side of the pavilion. It had no patterns and was very simple and elegant. In front of the screen sat - ah no, sitting on his knees was a burly middle-aged man. Wearing black clothes, with white temples and a solemn expression.
Lin Sui'an understood: This was the head of the Luo family and the benefactor who saved Lin Sui'an: Luo Shichuan.
Luo Kou was on the left side of Luo Shichuan, holding Luo Pa tightly in her hand. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like a rabbit. Meng Man sat on the other side.
There are more than a dozen people kneeling in the east and west directions. Each person has a small table in front of them, equipped with a teapot and a bowl. These people are male and female, ranging in age from their twenties to their forties. The men have rough and dark skin. The woman was wearing a Luo skirt and her hair was in a high bun. They all looked at Lin Sui'an. She was obviously a member of the Luo family.
Su Cheng arrived early, kneeling in the middle with his waist straight, and the back of his neck was covered with fine beads of sweat. There was an empty seat next to him, which must have been Lin Sui'an's seat.
Lin Sui'an first dragged the table and tea table to a place two meters away from Su Chengxian, and sat down with everyone's stunned eyes - ah no, knelt down and complained secretly.
Damn it, this posture is too taxing on the legs.
"Ms. Lin, are your injuries feeling better?" Luo Shichuan asked.
Lin Sui'an: "Much better. Thank you very much, Mr. Luo, for your concern."
Luo Shichuan: "The day before yesterday, Luo and Mrs. Lin discussed something. Has Mrs. Lin made a decision?"
Lin Sui'an: What's going on? Sister Lin didn't say anything in her diary.
Her first reaction was to look at Meng Man. Unexpectedly, Meng Man lowered his eyes and didn't even look at her. Instead, Su Cheng looked over first, with crimson eyes and a sad expression. Only then did Lin Sui'an notice this person. He was pretty good-looking, with regular facial features and fair skin and red lips, giving him the air of a handsome young man. His lips moved, as if to say——
【An Niang...】
"An Niang" is Su Chengxian's nickname for Lin family girls.
Lin Sui'an almost laughed out loud. With this expression and this title, did he think that she would use her selfless love to help him, a scumbag?
"The husband of the Su family has already said that the engagement was only made because your father was kind to him and asked an orphan before his death. He has no feelings for you between a man and a woman."
"Mr. Su Lang is talented, and I, the daughter of the Luo family, are both talented and beautiful. They are a match made in heaven. Madam Lin, why should you stand in the way of someone else's marriage?"
"Su Langjun is from a wealthy scholar family, but what about you, Mrs. Lin?"
"My little lady is not deeply involved in the world and has little knowledge. I would like to advise you that it is important for people to know themselves."
"The Luo family will not treat Mrs. Lin badly. If you are willing to terminate the engagement, the Luo family is willing to give you six guan of money for travel expenses and send you to Ding'an County to find your relative."
"My Luo family has been kind to Madam Lin for saving her life, and we have already given in to this. Don't be ungrateful."
All the clan members started to "persuade" one after another. One said the first half of a sentence, and the other followed the second half of the sentence. They were quite organized, as if they had rehearsed many times. It seemed that they had "persuaded" the original owner many times before.
Lin Sui'an listened without saying a word and scratched his forehead, "How much does a pound of pork cost now?"
This sentence came out of nowhere, and everyone in the room was stunned.
"Let me put it another way," Lin Sui'an pulled his numb legs in front of him and changed into a cross-legged sitting position, "How many kilograms of pork can six guans buy?"
Everyone was even more shocked, looking at Lin Sui'an as if he were looking at a crazy woman.
Only Luo Shichuan's expression did not change at all. He glanced at Lin Sui'an and said, "Five hundred dollars can buy one pig, and six dollars can buy twelve pigs."
"Hey, that's good, Su Lang, you are actually worth twelve pigs." Lin Sui'an said with a smile.
"Lin Sui'an, please don't bully me too much!" Su Cheng was furious first, and everyone started to slap the case, and they were about to rush up and beat Lin Sui'an.
"I agree to terminate the engagement," Lin Sui'an suddenly stopped smiling, "Su Cheng first, return Qianjing to me."
*
Much beyond Lin Sui'an's expectation, Qian Jing was not a jade pendant, but a rather peculiar ring-headed sword. It was unexpectedly carried up by two strong men.
The knife is very heavy, but Lin Sui'an feels just right in his hand. The scabbard is made of black iron. The surface is dark and grainy, without any patterns. The handle of the knife is engraved with the word "Qian Jing" in seal script. Pull the knife out of the sheath. , the blade is narrow and straight, three fingers wide and two feet long. The blade has dark green spots, I don’t know whether it is rust or mold, making the entire blade look green.
The knife looked heavy and worthless. No wonder Su Cheng returned it to her without any hesitation.
"Can you sign the divorce agreement?" Su Cheng asked angrily.
Lin Sui'an sheathed the sword and said, "Okay."
Su Chengxian and the Luo clan members were obviously relieved. Meng Man brought the four treasures of the study to Su Chengxian and Lin Sui'an on a tray. Su Chengxian couldn't wait to sign and sign, but Lin Sui'an was not in a hurry. I read it over and found that Su Chengxian and her name, age, appearance, place of origin, engagement place, date, official media signature, location where the marriage certificate was archived, reason for terminating the engagement (collaborative annulment), location, date, and official media signature Chapter (temporarily blank), the place of origin (Xuanyuan County) to which the annulment letter is to be sent, etc.
Only then did Lin Sui'an understand why Su Chengxian had been forcing her to break off the engagement. The marriage system in this world was very cumbersome and strict. To get engaged, you had to ask an official media to write an engagement letter, and submit a copy of the engagement letter to the government where your household registration is located to keep it on file. , if there is no cancellation letter, the engagement will remain in effect. If you enter into another engagement without breaking off the engagement, it will be regarded as bigamy. Not only will the engagement be invalid, but you may also be punished.
The annulment letter signed by Lin Sui'an must first be confirmed by the local official media, and then sent back to his place of origin. Only after the official confirmation from the place of origin is correct, Su Chengxian and Luo Kou can discuss marriage.
According to the time in the original owner's diary, it would take at least two months to go back and forth from here to Xuanyuan County. Lin Sui'an was very satisfied, which meant that she still had a lot of time to interfere with the marriage between Huang Su Chengxian and the Luo family.
Lin Sui'an probably took too long to read the marriage certificate. Su Chengxian and the Luo clan were a little anxious. Meng Man lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember what I said?"
Lin Sui'an looked up and saw Meng Man looking at her faintly, and couldn't help but think of his expression last night, which was also like this...how to describe it, a bit depressed and ferocious.
Lin Sui'an quickly signed the marriage document and pressed his fingerprints. Meng Man's pupils shrank sharply and he brought the marriage document back to Luo Shichuan for review. Luo Shichuan looked at it and nodded, and veins popped out of Meng Man's hand holding the wooden plate.
Everyone in the Luo clan was delighted.
"That's great. I, the Luo family, have married the Su family. From now on, we will have the blood of a noble family. When Mr. Su gets an official position in the imperial examination and high school, Luo's future will be limitless."
"Yes, given time, I, Luo Shi, will definitely become the second Yangdu Hua Shi!"
"Mr. Luo is careful, if these words spread, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!"
"Afraid of what he will do. The Su family is a noble family with a history of hundreds of years. A mere Hua family is not worth mentioning!"
"Mr. Su, are you confident about this scientific examination? We in the Luo family also have some connections. If necessary, please feel free to ask."
Lin Sui'an looked at the faces of these people with great interest. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. His face suddenly wrinkled up. The tea was bitter and astringent. It was too unpleasant to drink. He held it in his mouth while holding back from spitting it out. Be prepared to spit it back out when no one is paying attention.
Su Chengxian held his head and neck high, and his smile became brighter amidst the flattery. He looked at Luo Kou from a distance and said, "I first met you in the mist of Chunxi River, and the cold moon is as close as my eyebrows."
Lin Sui'an: What is this for? Why did you start reciting poetry all of a sudden? And why does this poem sound so familiar? Among the Three Hundred Tang Poems?
The Luo clan members shouted: "What a love poem!"
"This poem is wonderful. Although the words have stopped, the meaning is not finished. There seems to be joy and a trace of sadness."
"The charm is natural, light and flavorful, subtle but not revealing."
"One disappears and one appears, one is empty and the other is real, the artistic conception is elegant and the meaning is profound."
"Ms. Luo, do you have an answer?"
Lin Sui'an was stunned: What is this for? Poetry reading comprehension?
Luo Kou's face was crimson, her eyes were sparkling, and her heart was full of her Su Lang. She raised her voice and replied, "Red flowers have seasons, but love has no season, and the water flow is infinite like Lang's will."
The Luo clan members clapped their hands and shouted: "Good answer!"
"Pfft -" Lin Sui'an squirted out a mouthful of water.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Lin Sui'an with contempt on their faces.
"This village girl is too shameless. She has already signed the annulment document, why are she still here?"
"You can't even understand a love poem. You are indeed a vulgar person."
"Listening to my former fiancée and other women reciting love poems together is really humiliating."
Lin Sui'an wiped his mouth with his sleeve and looked at Su Chengxian with a look of disbelief. Su Chengxian glared at Lin Sui'an with disdain and continued to chant to Luo Kou, "Thousands of miles away from the world of mortals, there is no one who doesn't - "
"No one knows love!" Lin Sui'an and Su Chengxian shouted the second half of the sentence almost at the same time.
This time, Su Cheng was shocked first, the Luo clan members were stunned, but Lin Sui'an smiled.
It turns out that the "love pledge" mentioned in the diary is not the literal meaning she understood, but that there really is a process of "love pledge" in this world. According to her speculation, eighty percent of the time it is to recite a love poem with the person you like in public, which is similar to modern public practice. Confess.
The poem in the diary was not written by the original owner to express his feelings, but was given to the original owner by Su Cheng first.
"Sister Lin, how did you know-" Luo Kou's face turned pale, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled.
Su Cheng looked at Lin Sui'an in shock. When he saw Lin Sui'an took out the diary and shook it, his face suddenly changed. He got up and grabbed it with his hands, "You——"
"Your uncle!" Lin Sui'an slapped him in the face. Su Cheng flew out in a spin and lay on the ground for a while.
Lin Sui'an walked up to Luo Kou under everyone's horrified gaze, knelt down and unfolded the paragraph where the original owner recorded the love poem. Luo Kou unfolded the ropa with trembling fingers. There was a poem embroidered on the handkerchief, which was exactly what she and Su had just said. The song Cheng Xian recited was exactly the same as the original owner's diary.
"You don't even bother to rewrite a love poem," Lin Sui'an said softly, "Do you really think he has feelings for you?"
