When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

"Don't be afraid, everyone. These Yin Fires won't hurt anyone. They are only moving because of the wind we brought with us. If we don't move, these Yin Fires will naturally stop moving."

Seeing this, Jiang Lian'an immediately spoke to comfort him.

After that, everyone stopped moving forward.

Jiang Lian'an is right about this. Yin Fire is actually the spontaneous combustion of phosphine gas in the air. The colors we see in daily life are mostly green and blue.

Since the ignition point is very low, the resulting Yin fire will not cause harm to humans.

But in ancient times, most people would regard it as a ghost when they saw it, thinking it was a ball of evil fire and associating it with the legend of ghosts and gods.

but……

This gas is produced more frequently between graves.

Lin Lezhi lowered his eyes and squatted down, holding the torch close to the ground and using his hands to pull away the weeds under his feet. The weeds here were not as lush and green as when he came in. The leaves looked a little yellow and the soil on the ground was relatively loose.

"The soil here is different!"

Lin Lezhi spoke out.

Everyone felt the weakness in their feet when they walked, and upon hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on the ground.

After looking at it, Jiang Lian'an said, "The soil here seems to have been turned over by someone."

"General."

Hong Mingxu looked at Cheng Su standing beside him and asked for his opinion.

Cheng Su thought for a moment and said, "Call all the people who can be used here to dig up this piece of soil."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Hong Mingxu immediately ran in the direction he came from. Because of Hong Mingxu's running, the Yin Fire floating around him was driven to float behind him.

While waiting, Lin Lezhi looked around and discovered that not only was there something wrong with the grass, but the trees here were also sparser than elsewhere, the trees were much shorter, and their leaves were yellow.

He looks malnourished.

Knowing that the Yin Fire would not hurt people, everyone's fear of the Yin Fire was slightly alleviated, but on this dangerous and unknown lake island, no one could relax.

Cheng Su formed a circle with the loose range of soil, and each person was responsible for the area in front of him.

We didn't bring any tools like shovels on this trip to the lake island. The pots and pans we had left in Huaifeng Village, so we could only dig the soil with the help of knives and hand strength, or with relatively sturdy tree branches we picked up from the surrounding area.

Fortunately, the soil is loose and does not require much effort.

But for such a large area, the overall movement is still relatively slow, and due to the repetitive movements, it is somewhat boring and monotonous.

"Son."

Liu Yunhe was closer to Xiao Yihuo, and he spoke softly with admiration in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Liu Yunhe moved a little closer and whispered, "Master, you were really smart just now. You thought of clearing the weeds around the fire to cut off the fire. How did you come up with that? Why didn't I think of that?"

Xiao Yihuo's eyes paused for a moment, and then he said softly: "I have also heard people talk about it before."

Xiao Yihuo only said this lightly, and didn't say anything else. His eyes were focused on the work at hand. Seeing Xiao Yihuo so serious, Liu Yunhe naturally couldn't be lazy. After nodding thoughtfully, he continued with the work at hand and said with a smile: "I see."

Liu Yunhe was digging the soil with great concentration. Xiao Yihuo turned his gaze to Lin Lezhi who was not far away, but after just one glance, he looked away.

He withdrew his gaze, and a look of thought rose in his sharp eyes, as if mixed with some ambiguous emotions.

Just now, before Lin Lezhi went to put out the fire, he looked at her with a firm look and a look of entrustment. After a brief encounter, Lin Lezhi turned around and took off his clothes, and intentionally touched the plum blossom hairpin in his hair.

The fire in front of him was a reminder to Lin Lezhi of that night in Yulong Village.

From childhood to adulthood, he has only seen two real fires.

The first scene was the night when Ayi died in the sea of ​​fire, which was also the night when he and Ayi got married.

There is another scene, which is the night with Lin Lezhi in Yulong Village.

The night scenes of these two shows were like fires in the daytime, and they are deeply engraved in my mind.

The room where the wedding took place was in a remote and quiet part of the palace, with no other residences nearby.

It was Ayi's request.

By the time he arrived, it was too late.

Even the weakest fire would feel hot and painful if it accidentally burned the skin, but that night, he did not feel the blazing flames were hot at all. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart, icy cold.

I have lived in the imperial palace since I was a child. The palace is heavily guarded and the palaces are separated by long distances. In addition, there are people patrolling every hour, so it is difficult for a large-scale fire to occur.

Once discovered, the fire can be quickly extinguished.

Even if he was not favored in the palace and was treated harshly on a daily basis, he was still a prince. Even if the fire was nearby, the palace servants did not dare to order him to put out the fire.

In this respect, he is undoubtedly lacking.

So, when he encountered such a thing, the first thing he thought of was not the solution, but a blank.

That night in Yulong Village, he was also like that.

Lin Lezhi suggested to Village Chief Ji that cutting off the surrounding trees be used to isolate the fire. Because of this, the fire did not spread to the forest near Hongzhu Temple.

As the digging continued slowly, someone suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Bone...head, dead man's bones——!"
