When everything was complicated, troubled and depressed, Chu Yan's voice, like a clear water, washed his mind, causing all the chaotic forces to disappear.
He raised his head and saw Chu Yan's beautiful eyes, which were like black mercury dripping on white mercury. They were so dynamic that it made people look at them and gave them hope.
"Young Master..." Chu Yan opened her red lips slightly and called him softly.
She is a smart person.
She was about to follow the boy to find Gong Xin; but when she heard that Gong Xin was at Jinyiwei's place, she calmly stopped her steps, stopped walking, said nothing, and waited for Ye WuMian to return. When you regain your consciousness before making a decision, you look like you are letting Ye WuMian make the decision.
Ye Wumian responded, looked at her with a look of help, and said: "Chu Yan, you know my details and my situation. If you were me, what would you do at this moment?"
Ever since he saw the wanted list, he had made up a fake name, "Luo Jing, Luo Zizai", but so far, he had only used this fake name with Gong Xin's family.
Chu Yan, on the other hand, knew his true identity and understood the deep roots, what he was embarrassed about, and what he was afraid of.
It was precisely because of this that he asked the above question, wanting to tell her the difficulties and listen to her decision about the future, so as to use it as a reference.
Chu Yan's jewel-like eyes were full of smiles and he did not answer directly.
Instead, he asked tentatively: "Then it depends on the young master's heart. If the young master feels that he and Dr. Gong are just a temporary doctor, he has done his best, and you have paid for it. If you settle it in pairs, there is no need." Owed, then, his son was snatched away, so he had nothing to do with the young master. The young master did not need to pay attention to it, and there was no need to be afraid that the Jin Yiwei was in the inn. He only waited for Yun Sheng to recover, packed up his things, and continued to the Wugong Mountain. go."
Ye Wumian had a numb face and squinted his eyes: "Miss Chu, I asked you to give me advice, but why do you come to entertain me!"
Chu Yan smiled playfully and said sweetly: "Hehe, Yan'er is teasing the young master!"
She looked at Ye Wumian with eager eyes: "Just imagine, the young master and the little guy Yunsheng are not blood relatives. They only receive food from his relatives, but they are willing to lend a helping hand to save him from fire and water, and are even willing to save him for his illness. , I purposely stayed in an inn, delaying my trip to Wugong Mountain. With such a heart, shining brightly in the sun and moon, he could be called a Bodhisattva, how could he be like what I just said..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Wumian's face was tingling. He stretched out his hand to look at it, and actually got goosebumps all over his face.
The small compliment mentioned above is acceptable, but "the sun and the moon are shining brightly" and "can be called a Bodhisattva" are too much.
"Miss Chu, please put aside your flattery for now." Ye Wumian asked her to stop angrily.
Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, but her mouth, which was supposed to speak, was smiling without showing her teeth, and had no intention of speaking at all.
Ye Wumian finally understood that this girl had chosen not to speak for the time being.
He nodded secretly and said: "I'm confused too. The situation is complicated at the moment. Even if Chu Yan understands some of my situation, she can't make plans for me. After all, it involves a lot of inconveniences for me. She's afraid that it won't be perfect and it's too abrupt. Me, it made me angry, so I kept silent."
He looked at Chu Yan, and Chu Yan happened to look at him. The two actually looked at each other and smiled. A feeling of connectedness arose spontaneously in Ye Wumian's heart.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that for a long time in the future, this little girl, who was full of resentment when she was singing, but sunny when she wasn't singing, would be by his side.
"I hope it's an illusion..."
Stop talking too much.
Seeing that Chu Yan could not make decisions for him, Ye Wumian allowed his thoughts to unfold, trying his best to connect all the aspects that he had previously considered, and even sorted out the connections in some corners.
At some point, he discovered a blind spot.
"Doctor Gong accidentally mentioned yesterday that he, like us, has been staying in this inn these past few days and has never been able to go out. Young Master Tingxian has never been taken out. So, what was the reason for the crime? How do people know that there is a child in this room?"
With so many difficulties at hand, Ye Wumian decided to start with Dr. Gong first.
Other difficulties can be avoided or dealt with later, but this baby, after being taken away, will be scattered into the sea of people after being taken away, and it will become a lifelong regret for the parents.
Not even a moment's delay!
Chu Yan answered excitedly this time: "I think the person who committed the crime either heard the baby crying outside the door, or came to see Dr. Gong!"
Ye Wumian nodded and said: "That's right. In the first case, unless we are on duty outside Dr. Gong's door day and night, we can't investigate, so we won't mention it for now. In the second case, the scope is much smaller, especially if there is a person looking for The woman Dr. Gong treats..."
Chu Yan showed a smile that said, "The master has finally enlightened himself." He said, "The master is referring to the woman who lives in Pingxiang but came back from Wugong Mountain?"
Ye Wumian smiled and said, "Exactly."
After a pause, Ye Wumian sorted it out in his mind, and then looked at her and said, "Miss Chu, I have a plan that I need your cooperation to implement. I wonder if you are willing to help?"
Chu Yan's eyes shone brightly, as if the rain came after a long drought, with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Yes! But, sir, after I help you implement it, can you call me Yan'er?"
Ye Wumian felt a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
He still thinks that calling her Yan'er is a bit too intimate. Judging from the current relationship between the two, it seems that it has not reached this point.
Of course, once or twice once in a while, it's not considered over the top.
After thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay, then I will call you like that when the time comes."
Chu Yan clasped his fists excitedly and said, "Yan'er can run with the help of the young master!"
. . .
This day is the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
In the evening, the sun has long been blocked by the hills and is no longer as warm as it was at noon. But rarely, it's not too cold either. In Pingxiang County, people along the streets are willing to come out for activities.
A kind of Nuo opera seems to be popular here. Walking through the streets at night, you can easily see people wearing various bronze masks, walking around: fanged ghosts, plague gods, generals, animals The... styles are rich, to name a few.
When other people saw it, they didn't think it was special, nor were they frightened. It seemed to be a commonplace and normal thing.
There are even notices in red cloth and black letters posted outside the doors of tea shops and restaurants, saying that at what night and where, people will gather to perform Nuo dances to commemorate someone, or to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, etc. He also stated that everything has been reported to the government for registration, so you can participate with confidence.
After reading these, Ye Wumian felt novel, so he walked into a handicraft shop and picked out a Nuo opera mask.
I didn’t ask who the mask was based on. I just thought it looked ugly and fierce and would scare people when worn at night, so I paid for it.
Just as he was about to put it on casually, Chu Yan's graceful figure appeared in his eyes, and his waist was like a willow blowing in the wind.
"Sir, as you expected, the woman did come to the inn in person to seek medical treatment from Dr. Gong, so she must know that Dr. Gong has a child... This is the woman's address in Pingxiang, where she went when she saw the doctor. Keep it, it should be true, sir, please keep it."
After handing the note with the address to Ye Wumian, she was also attracted by the Nuo opera masks and started picking them up in the shop.
After searching for a long time, I finally saw a mask in the shape of a demon cat among the ugly faces. It was extremely charming and bewildering, just like a demon girl among cats.
Chu Yan liked it, so she picked it up happily and put it on her face. Looking back, she looked forward to it.
"Hey! Master, does it look good?"
However, where is the figure of Sleepless Night?
There was only the greasy smile of the shop owner: "Girl, the goods in our store are deemed to have been sold once you wear them. Two hundred copper coins, thank you!"
