You are back

Chapter 18
Yushu stared blankly at Li Yan, stood up for a moment, picked up the thatch that Li Yan threw over one by one, and arranged them neatly.

Li Yan plucked away the thatch in the circle in one breath, reached back and said, "Give me the knife."

Yushu hastily drew out the knife and handed it over.

Li Yan took the knife and started digging.Yushu squatted behind Li Yan's side, stretching her neck to watch her dig the soil.

In the middle of the circle, a hole was gradually dug out by Li Yan. When the last ray of sunlight and moonlight filled the ruins, the knife in Li Yan's hand made a crisp sound.

What the knife pierced was a palm-sized, rusty small box. Li Yan used the knife to pry out the box and patted the soil. The box was not locked, so he opened it casually. Inside the box was a dark green camphor leaf. .

Yushu stared at the camphor leaf, "This belongs to Missy! This is..."

Li Yan rubbed his hands on his clothes, and reached out to pick up the leaf. It was an emerald leaf. Li Yan held the leaf in his palm. Under the bright moonlight, the leaf lying in Li Yan's palm exuded a soft luster.

Holding the leaves, Li Yan squatted down to pick up the box, turned it over and over, and saw that it was a red copper box, covered with a thick layer of copper rust on the outside, but as bright as new inside, this box was extremely well made.Li Yan looked at it again, but she couldn't see anything. She knew nothing about copper and craftsmanship.

He weighed it in his hand, Li Yan suddenly raised his hand and threw the box far away.

"Miss?" Yushu was taken aback by Li Yan's toss.

"It's okay, we'll stay here overnight before leaving." Li Yan held the emerald leaf and turned to look around.

"Miss, this place is full of rocks. It's too cold at night..." Yushu advised hesitantly. She wanted to stay here for a while longer, but it was too cold at night.

"It's okay." Li Yan replied casually, a little distractedly, saw a large stone with a flat surface, climbed up, stood up and looked around.

A gust of cool night wind blew, Li Yan raised his arms, closed his eyes, and felt the coldness of the night wind blowing on his face. The thick emerald green vitality comes...

After standing for a while, Li Yan put down his arms, sat on the stone, spread his hands, and looked at the emerald leaves in his hands.

Yushu also climbed up the stone, took out all the clothes in the bag, and wrapped all the clothes that could be wrapped around Li Yan.

The night was cold. Li Yan curled up on a stone and had a night of chaotic and noisy dreams. The first ray of the morning sun shone on Li Yan. The chaos and noise turned into a roaring fire and rushed towards his face. Li Yan jumped up in fright and was stabbed by the rising sun. His eyes were sore for a while, and he couldn't help the tears flowing.

"Are you okay?" Chen Yanfeng looked down from above and asked with concern.

"It's okay, the sunshine is too dazzling." Li Yan blocked the dazzling morning sun with his hand, "Why did you come in?"

"I didn't see you until midnight. I was afraid that you would be eaten by wild animals, so I had to come in and look for you. You can sleep in a place like this... Yes, this is your home. Let's go. I don't like it here. It's uncomfortable to come in. You've been freezing all night, so you have to quickly find a place to drink a bowl of hot soup. It's best to take a dip in the hot water, otherwise you'll be in trouble if you get sick." Chen Yanfeng stood up, jumped off the stone, stretched out He took action and motioned for Li Yan to jump into his arms.

Chen Yanfeng picked up Li Yan, and Yushu jumped down by himself. The three of them walked through the piles of rocks and emerged from the ruins, heading straight to Yuzhang City.

Chen Yanfeng's rule is to find the best inn no matter where he goes. The best inn in Yuzhang City is indeed quite good. Li Yan drank a bowl of ginger soup and took a comfortable hot bath. Yushu had already woven that emerald leaf into a thin silk rope and tied it around Li Yan's neck.

The lady who works at the inn knocked on the door and brought in a large bag of clothes. Chen Yanfeng also said, "That Mr. Chen said, please change the two girls into the clothes in here."

Yushu opened the bag, which was full of muslin clothes often worn by wealthy people in the market. Yushu frowned, and looked at Li Yan. The silk dress with the pointed belt down wraps it up.

Li Yan came out, and there was a woman standing at the door. When he saw her coming out, he hurriedly bent his knees and signaled: "This girl, that Mr. Chen said, if the girl is ready, please go to the elegant room A. The girl will go from here." Go forward, at the end, go downstairs and turn east."

Li Yan thanked his mother-in-law, and together with Yushu, followed the mother-in-law's instructions, and entered the Jiazi elegant room.

In the private room, Chen Yanfeng's expression looked a bit gloomy. Seeing Li Yan come in, he looked up and down first and said, "These coarse clothes... are okay. Sit down. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, what's the matter with you?" Li Yan sat down, looked around the table, and signaled Yushu to serve her a bowl of soup first.

"En." Chen Yanfeng's face darkened, "It's something, I have to go to Yichun, and I'll be leaving in a while. You two?" Chen Yanfeng looked very embarrassed and hesitant.

"What happened?" Li Yan was surprised.

"It's nothing serious." Chen Yanfeng paused, and sighed, "Yuzhang prefect Zhou Hao committed a crime, alas!" Chen Yanfeng sighed again, "The imperial envoy of the imperial court has arrived in Yichun, and they want to copy and kill everyone. Zhou Hao and I The house is old, before he dies, he has to take a look and see him off."

Li Yan was stunned, "What do you want to kill everyone?"

"I didn't ask in detail, that person Zhou Hao... Oh, what can happen? You are just a fish in a pond fighting for me. I will leave in a moment. There are 50 taels of silver here. You can take it. Duoyunjian brought it down Stop wearing those clothes, they are too eye-catching, you..." Chen Yanfeng told Li Yan with concern.

"I'll go with you, I want to see it too." Li Yan interrupted Chen Yanfeng.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Yanfeng was startled, then laughed again, "You don't know Zhou Hao...and...it's not impossible, by the way, you are a girl from the Li family in the capital, right? Someone from the Li family in the capital is an official in Huainan country? Why don't I know? But these few years I don't ask about world affairs... You didn't come from the capital, did you?"

"Why do you say I'm a girl from the Li family in the capital?" Li Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked hastily.

"That place is the old house of the Li family in the capital. Seeing how you look, you often hear the elders talk about the old house in Yuzhang, right? Your Li family still remembers the old house in Yuzhang, which is really unexpected. I thought I forgot everything from top to bottom." Changing the topic, Chen Yanfeng became the usual Chen Yanfeng again.

Yushu was stunned. Li Yan glanced at Yushu, "How did that house become like that? Was it before the Li family moved to the capital, or after they moved to the capital?"

"Huh? You're not a girl from the Li family in the capital?" Chen Yanfeng was surprised.
