Yun Fan and Sikong Yujiu did not leave immediately. The reason for this was that not long ago, Yun Fan accidentally learned clues that might be related to the mountain demon from Qin Mengyao's son, Xiao Shankou.
Therefore, what Yun Fan said to Qin Mengyao just now was actually not a complete lie, but half truth and half lie. He did learn some important clues from Xiaoshan.
So, what is going on? This has to start with the conversation between Yun Fan and Xiao Shan last night.
Let's go back to last night.
At that time, Xiaoshan said: "Sister Ye is such a nice person, I don't want anything to happen. Why not ask the uncle on the mountain to save my sister? My uncle's martial arts are so good."
"Uncle on the mountain!?" Yun Fan whispered, and then asked curiously: "Who is it?"
As if he realized that he had made a mistake and said something that he shouldn't have said, Xiaoshan quickly said: "It's still nothing. I promised my mother never to tell anyone."
"Yes, you should keep your promises when you have promised others," Yun Fan said appreciatively.
Xiaoshan said worriedly: "What about Sister Ye?"
Yun Fan looked at Xiao Shan and said with certainty: "Don't worry, Sister Ye will be fine. Brother Yun has already seen your sister Ye's face. Her nose is round and shiny. In addition, her two Curved eyebrows... Anyway, don't worry, Sister Ye will be fine. I promise you."
Perhaps he realized that what he said was too obscure for a child like Xiaoshan. Yun Fan didn't say too much, and since the fortune teller couldn't reveal too much secrets, he didn't continue to talk about Ye Ruyan's appearance. (As for the specific reasons, they have been introduced in the previous article, so I won’t repeat them here)
"Really?!" When Xiaoshan heard this, he quickly pointed to his nose and asked, "What about me? How is my nose?"
Yun Fan looked at his face carefully and stared for a long time. Then, he suddenly reached out and brushed away the bangs in front of Xiao Shan's forehead. He happened to see a very small and obvious scar on his forehead. From the look of it, it should have been something he had done not long ago. Leave.
"There is a scar on your forehead. This scar should not last long. If my prediction is correct, it will only last about half a year."
As soon as Yun Fan finished speaking, Xiao Shan couldn't help but exclaimed in excitement: "Wow! Brother Yun, you are so awesome. You guessed it right the first time."
Then, Yun Fan said with a smile: "Extend your palm and let me see it."
Hearing this, Xiao Shan quickly stretched out one of his hands.
Yun Fan lowered his head to look at his palm and said slowly: "There is a broken pattern on the ground of the palm. You should have suffered a great disaster half a year ago..."
One thing to note here is that in palmistry, there are three main lines, namely the intellectual line, also known as the "human line", the emotional line, also known as the "sky line", and the life line, also known as the "earth line"; so They are the three main patterns of heaven, earth and man, and there is also a marriage line, also known as the "wind pattern".
"Yes...yes!" Before Yunfan could finish speaking, Xiaoshan nodded in acknowledgement.
After a while, Yun Fan stared at his face again and said solemnly: "Even so, I see that your heaven is full, your earth pavilion is round, and your hall is bright. You should have noble people to help you when you are in charge. If I guess, Yes, this person should have helped you escape."
"Brother Yun, you are really clever and can predict things like a god. You are absolutely right." Xiaoshan lowered his eyes slightly and slowly narrated: "One day half a year ago, I secretly ran to the mountain to play without telling my mother. Unexpectedly, I accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell off the cliff. Fortunately, my uncle showed up in time to save me. He also carried me and flew to the top of the cliff. His martial arts is really amazing!"
As soon as he mentioned the uncle who saved his life, Xiaoshan couldn't help but get excited with joy. It was obvious that he really admired that uncle.
After hearing Xiao Shan's story, Yun Fan couldn't help but be secretly surprised. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked: "Have you seen the uncle who saved you?"
"I don't know him." Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "I only know that he wore a silver mask, covering half of his face. My mother said he didn't want people to recognize him."
"Did that uncle carry anything with him?" Yun Fan continued to ask.
Xiao Shan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked like he was remembering: "He seems to be carrying a silver flute with him. He looks quite beautiful."
"!!!" Yun Fan was shocked and secretly surprised: Silver flute, unparalleled Qinggong, wearing a silver mask... this series of symbols. Isn’t this the hallmark of white ink painting? ?
He was almost certain that it was Bai Mo Hua himself who rescued Xiao Shan. This discovery surprised Yunfan!
Yun Fan couldn't help but secretly sigh, tonight's harvest is really gratifying.
After returning to his room, Yun Fan thought again about the disappearance of the bride and the rescue of Xiao Shan in Meizhen in recent days. Xiao Shan was rescued by someone who might be Bai Mo Hua half a year ago, and Meizhen also It was only six months ago that strange incidents of brides disappearing for no reason began to occur one after another. The two coincided with each other in time, and the mountain demon who robbed the bride also had unparalleled dexterity skills. Various signs indicate that this is definitely not a coincidence. !
A coincidence can be said to be a coincidence, but if so many coincidences are connected together, it is not a coincidence, but an inevitable result.
From this moment on, Yun Fan came to a conclusion in his mind, the only conclusion, that is, the so-called mountain demon who was the man behind the disappearance and robbery of the Meizhen bride was exactly what he was trying to find. "Silver Flute Scholar" white ink painting. And this conclusion is completely consistent with his previous conjecture.
After working hard for so many days, things finally came to light, which was indeed a happy event for Yun Fan. At the very least, all the hard work and dedication these days have paid off. Finally got a little reward.

And the reason why he deliberately revealed this just now was just to test Qin Mengyao, to test her reaction and see if she really had something to hide from them? Is it really related to the mountain demon? Now it seems that things are almost exactly as Yun Fan expected. Judging from Qin Mengyao's reaction, she did hide something from Yun Fan and the others about the mountain demon's robbery of the bride. He can be sure that even if Qin Mengyao is not one of the mountain demons, he must be an important insider on this matter.
Since she is an insider, the next thing will be much simpler. Yunfan can use her as a breakthrough to follow the clues, find the mountain demon, and rescue the kidnapped brides and Ye Ruyan. It is only a matter of time.
And Yunfan left Sikong Zhenjiu behind to work together to come up with a perfect plan for this matter.
After all, it is better to have one more person to discuss the matter with than to fight alone.
Sikong Yujiu looked at him and said slowly: "Boss Qin must be hiding something from us. She kept telling us not to get involved in this matter, so I felt strange. To tell you the truth, I saw her sneaking up the mountain twice. , but it still cannot be proven that she is related to Bai Mo Hua."
When Yun Fan heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up in a mysterious arc: "It didn't happen before, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen now."
Immediately, Yun Fan told Sikong Zhenjiu everything he had found out from Xiaoshan last night.
After Sikong Yujiu listened carefully, he couldn't help but suddenly realized: "Yin Flute Scholar... is Bai Mo Hua?! No wonder Qin Mengyao protects Bai Mo Hua so much. It turns out that Bai Mo Hua is Xiao Shan's savior."
"There will be no one else but him." Yun Fan said with certainty.
In the past, they still couldn't understand why Qin Mengyao knew that the bride's robbery was related to Bai Mo Painting, but why she was so protective of him and kept silent to them. Now, they understood. It turned out that she was repaying her kindness. After all, Bai Mo Hua once saved Xiao Shan’s life. What she did was reasonable and understandable.
Yun Fan continued: "Boss Qin is our only clue now."
Sikong Yujiu: "It's a pity that she refused to tell. She must be more careful now. I think it will be difficult to find any clues from her."
Yun Fan smiled and said: "But that's not necessarily the case. Have you ever heard of a saying called Bai Mi Yi Shu? As long as she still looks for Bai Mo Hua, we still have a chance."
After hearing this, Sikong Zhen looked at Yun Fan with a knowing smile and said nothing.
——————
At this time, a good show of "Sanniang teaching her son" was going on in the inn.
Qin Mengyao learned from Yunfan that it was her good son Xiaoshan who leaked the white ink painting to Yunfan, so she hurried back. I came back for no other reason than to clean up and discipline Xiao Shan.
"Kneel down!" Qin Mengyao was so angry that her voice became louder. Her face was covered with frost, her eyes were filled with anger as she looked at the hill in front of her, and a cane in her hand was heavily slapped on the table beside her. (How could she be willing to really fight)
Xiaoshan had never seen his mother look so angry before, so he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down in front of her. He lowered his head slightly and looked at Qin Mengyao aggrievedly.
Qin Mengyao put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and scolded her with wide almond-shaped eyes: "How many times has my mother told you not to tell anything about your uncle? Have you remembered it? Have you listened to what my mother said?"
Xiaoshan lowered his head slightly and said softly: "I remember! But..."
"But you couldn't help but tell it, couldn't you?" Qin Mengyao was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face was red.
This time, she was really too angry. She had told him so many times and her words were almost worn out, but he still didn't remember it and told others about Bai Mohua's rescue.
Xiaoshan said aggrievedly: "I don't understand. Sister Ye is such a nice person. Now she has been captured by the mountain demon and is facing great danger. Why don't we ask uncle to help save her?"
Of course Xiaoshan didn't know. In fact, the uncle who rescued him and the mountain demon who captured Ye Ruyan were basically the same person. Although Qin Mengyao knew, it was impossible to explain to him. She didn't want that uncle's image in Xiaoshan's mind to be completely overturned, nor did she want Xiaoshan to be exposed to these bad things prematurely.
"You are still young and there are many things you don't understand yet."
Xiaoshan whispered: "If you don't understand, just explain it until I understand it. Just like pushing Pai Gow and shaking dice to compare, I will understand it as soon as you explain it."
Qin Mengyao was silent for a long time after hearing this. She didn't know what to say anymore: "How can this be the same? Uncle is your savior. Do you think something will happen to uncle?!"
"Of course I don't want to!"
The anger in Qin Mengyao's heart eased slightly. She sat down in front of Xiao Shan and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want something to happen to your uncle, don't mention anything related to your uncle to anyone in the future. Do you understand?"
"Oh!" Xiao Shan nodded seriously after hearing this, and then said, "What about Sister Ye?"
Qin Mengyao helped him up from the ground, pulled him to her side, and said softly: "Sister Ye is a member of the world, and it's better for us to stay out of the affairs of the world. Mother knows you have good intentions, and I believe Sister Ye The auspicious man has his own destiny, and he will come back soon, safe and sound."
Xiaoshan: "Is what you said true?"
Qin Mengyao put her hands on his shoulders and said seriously: "When did mother lie to you?"
"..." Xiaoshan nodded seriously after hearing this, thinking that his mother had never lied to him.
Looking at Xiaoshan's small face, Qin Mengyao couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on her lips.
