Bai Ya frowned and hesitated a little, and the hand holding the whistle became tighter and tighter.
This was the first time Wen Xiaoyun saw a helpless expression on Bai Yao's face.
Wen Xiaoyun knew that Bai Yu's life had been very depressed and difficult these years. Qin Qi, who can be kept by his side at all times and knows all his thoughts and secrets, must be a very important existence to him.
Since time traveling, Qin Qi's shadow has always been with Bai Yao she saw.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Qi is the shadow of Bai Yao. The trust and affection between them has surpassed that of any relatives and brothers.
She thought that in all these years, Qin Qi should have never failed to respond to Bai Yao's orders. He could be as calm and calm as Bai Yao, but he would also be so confused and panicked.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Bai Yao's wrist, "Brother Bai, Qin Qi is so loyal to you. If he doesn't see you, nothing will happen to him. I trust him."
Bai Yao's eyes changed slightly, and he turned his gaze dully, looking at Wen Xiaoyun, his eyes darkened a little.
Wen Xiaoyun raised his head, his round eyes sparkling and unusually firm, "Quickly give instructions to the other brothers in the dark, tell them to rush to the aid of Brother Qin."
Bai Yao's fingers suddenly trembled, then he picked up the whistle and blew three long whistles toward the river.
The whistle was melodious and reverberating, just like the cry of an oriole, turning to the sky one after another.
For some reason, Wen Xiaoyun also felt a little sad when listening to the whistle.
"Come here, young man," She Pi, who returned to the campfire, said in a faint voice while holding out branches and adding firewood. "While you are all waiting for others, it's just a good time to listen to my story."
Wen Xiaoyun turned around and saw She Pi staring at the burning flames. She paused for a moment before nodding, "It must be very insightful to hear the stories of seniors."
After saying that, she took Bai Yao and walked back to Yinnuo's temporary shack.
Although Bai Yao's movements were a little stiff and seemed distracted, he still followed Wen Xiaojun's movements and sat down by the bonfire together.
He stared blankly at the wood that was gradually burned in the campfire, his face cold and expressionless.
Wen Xiaoyun looked at the orange firelight that couldn't even warm his profile, and felt very depressed. But he still managed to cheer up, looked at She Pi, and asked curiously: "Is the story of senior related to the ambush of Wen Xiangjiao?"
She Pi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wen Xiaoyun, with a glint of approval in his eyes, "That little girl is really a genius."
As he spoke, he turned his head again and looked through the gap in the fence wall to the calm river in the distance. "I think you all know the Wenxiang Cult's style of doing things very well. I don't need to explain it."
Wen Xiaoyun frowned unconsciously, followed the direction of She Pi's eyes and looked far away, thinking: "It is true, Wen Xiangjiao's behavior style is to pretend to be a layout design of various gods and ghosts. But those previous cases were like this Doing it, firstly, can hide the real murderer, and secondly, it can shock people and pave the way for their planned appearance. In today's ambush, there are only five of us victims and bystanders. There should be no reason for them to do this again. Let’s mobilize all the people to plan some ghost murder case.”
Hearing this, Bai Ya finally had some reaction. He raised his head and looked at She Pi beside him and asked coldly: "Senior, the most important thing is that our route is temporarily decided. Even if there are really believers hiding in Yanzhou Mansion all the way Only by following the juniors could they learn about this waterway, and they would not have the time to lay out such a complex and sophisticated ambush in advance."
She Pi twirled his beard and laughed, "What you said is all right, but there is one thing that existed far before your judgments."
Wen Xiaoyun asked: "What is it?"
She Pi: "When did the Wenxiang sect come up with the idea, or habit, of committing crimes under the guise of various ghosts and legends?"
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes flickered, and She Pi indeed pointed out a question that she had never thought about before.
She Pi continued: "The series of major cases in Yanzhou Prefecture were all planned for a long time before they were realized. The choice of such crime methods has two motives that the little girl analyzed, but there is also a deeper reason. .
That is, they are very familiar with all kinds of ghosts and legends, and they are very good at committing crimes in the name of gods and ghosts.
To become good at something, they must have done it often before.
If they do this for a long time, they will develop a habit. As long as they make a game, they will easily blame it on some ghost or ghost, making people unable to see the key point. "
Wen Xiaoyun nodded, "Indeed."
She unconsciously recalled the various encounters she had with Wenxiang Sect. Whether it was against General Tiger or Lady Dice, Wenxiang Sect was indeed full of spooks and ghosts.
She Pi continued: "And I happen to know an ancient legend about this river. I was thinking that if someone from the Wenxiang Sect really planned the layout, would they habitually base the layout on that legend?"
When he heard the word layout, Bai Yao's eyes suddenly froze, "What legend?"
