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

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Xiao Yihuo suddenly woke up and sat up, then touched his sore head. For a moment he was still a little confused and didn't understand the situation, and his movements were a little slow.

Xiao Yihuo frowned slightly and looked outside the house.

The night outside had faded a lot, but the fog had not yet dissipated. Instead, it had gathered even thicker, so the room was still dim.

There was a vast expanse of space outside the house, and in a trance, it seemed as if I had come to a place isolated from the world.

"woke up."

A sleepy voice came from beside him, and Xiao Yihuo turned his head to look, but before his eyes fell, something suddenly hit him in the face, and his vision became dark.

"Put on your clothes when you wake up. When the fog clears up in the morning, we'll leave here."

When an unknown object was thrown at his face, Xiao Yihuo was a little unhappy, but that unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Yihuo tore off the thing covering his face and saw Lin Lezhi clearly, who had a tired look on his face but was forcing himself to move his limbs.

Then he looked down at the clothes on his body.

I didn't know when my clothes had been changed and I felt very fresh.

Although the clothes held in my hands do not emit a faint fragrance and do not feel soft to the touch, I can feel that the surface of the clothes is radiating a comfortable temperature.

When the clothes were thrown on my face just now, I already felt the warmth.

Xiao Yihuo turned to look at the pile of firewood on the ground. The fire was still burning slowly, and there were many dead branches next to it waiting to be burned.

If the clothes were still warm, it meant that before he woke up, Lin Lezhi had been warming his clothes for him and had not rested all night.

Lin Lezhi also washed the handkerchief used last night and hung it on a simple rack nearby.

Liu Yunhe's sword was also cleaned.

"It's not dirty. I washed it many times just in case you found it unpleasant. If you don't believe me, try smelling it."

Seeing that Xiao Yihuo was still in a daze, Lin Lezhi stood aside and said in a joking tone.

"You don't know how difficult you were to take care of last night. You couldn't sleep well, sometimes you kept complaining about being cold and sometimes hot. I even had to spare some time to wash your clothes. I was almost exhausted to death, and you're still complaining about it. You..."

"Thank you."

Originally, Lin Lezhi had a lot more to say, but Xiao Yihuo's sudden "thank you" confused Lin Lezhi and he forgot what he wanted to say next.

Normally, shouldn't Xiao Yihuo retort with a joking expression, "Why don't I see you dying of exhaustion?"

Actually said "thank you"?

This is the first time in the history of the world.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

Wait…wait a minute!

The long-lost radar in Lin Lezhi's mind sounded again, and his expression became a little stiff.

Following the principle of having seen pigs run even if you haven't eaten pork, Lin Lezhi has read many novels with two male protagonists in order to get along with the girls.

Generally, if the protagonist in a story suddenly behaves differently, then that is definitely abnormal.

What happened last night, in a story with two male protagonists, wouldn't it definitely enhance the relationship between the two? !

Thinking about the importance of Nan Rongyi to Xiao Yihuo, Lin Lezhi exclaimed "Oh my God" in his heart.

How could he have forgotten about this?

This is not possible...

Lin Lezhi took a step back with a somewhat stiff expression and waved his hand, saying, "No...you didn't do anything last night..."

Lin Lezhi's voice became quieter and quieter, and then nothing could be heard after he finished speaking.

In fact, Xiao Yihuo slept very soundly last night, but his breathing was a little unstable from time to time. He just thought it was fun and wanted to tease Xiao Yihuo.

“Cough… cough…!”

Lin Lezhi coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment, then took out a piece of firewood from the fire and walked towards the statue, saying as he walked: "When you were asleep last night, I was bored and looked around the temple. As a result, I actually found an interesting place. Come and have a look after you change your clothes."

As he spoke, Lin Lezhi's figure was obscured by the large statue, leaving Xiao Yihuo with a relatively private space to change clothes.

Xiao Yihuo changed into clean clothes, took his coat in his hand and walked over.

"Look at the back of this statue."

Xiao Yihuo looked up and saw a sentence engraved on the back of the statue.

"The place to look for is hidden in the soil, where the golden light shines." Xiao Yihuo recited it softly, and then guessed: "It looks like a riddle."

"Yes, I think the same as you do. Hidden in the soil, shining with gold, it's like saying there is gold hidden in the mountain, waiting to be discovered by someone who solves this riddle. Hey, what do you think it is?"

Could it be the gold, silver and jewelry in the coffin and the bottom of the ship?

"How should I know? This is for you."

Xiao Yihuo's tone showed that he was not interested in discussing this topic, and he handed the coat in his hand to Lin Lezhi.

Lin Lezhi also understood Xiao Yihuo's intention, which was to let him cover the smoke and cloud scar on his arm. Lin Lezhi said "thank you" and took the clothes and put it on his arm. He did not put it on immediately, and did not forget to move a small step to the side without leaving any trace.

Because of the abnormality just now, even if Lin Lezhi wanted to act normal, he would subconsciously pay attention to Xiao Yihuo's expression.

In the dim firelight, Lin Lezhi discovered that Xiao Yihuo's eyes were fixed on him.

"What...what happened?" Lin Lezhi said somewhat nervously, "There's no one else here. I'll put on my clothes when I leave later."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yihuo's eyes showed a hint of confusion and disgust, and he joked, "Did you rub your back against the statue last night because you felt itchy?"

"Do I look like someone who has nothing to do? Why would I rub against the statue for no reason?"

"Then why are there red marks on your clothes?"

red?

Lin Lezhi followed the direction where Xiao Yihuo's gaze rested and pulled his clothes forward. There were indeed red marks on the scratched places on the clothes, and there were also some on the sleeves.

Lin Lezhi could still see some traces of dirt between the gaps in the fabric.

Under the firelight, the colored areas on the white cloth appeared clearer.

Lin Lezhi thought about what happened last night and explained, "I didn't rub it on the statue. I rubbed it on the dirt when I accidentally fell into the Hundred Bone Pit last night."

"I know."

Xiao Yihuo's answer was so clear and concise that Lin Lezhi was confused.

"you know?"

"Don't forget who gave you the medicine last night."

"You...you know how...!"

Before Lin Lezhi finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yihuo's slightly raised mouth corners, with three big words clearly written on his face without any concealment.

'Just teasing you'.

It is said that emperors have deep minds and that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, but it has never been said that it is so boring.

Lin Lezhi was silent for a long time, feeling somewhat amused and annoyed, then he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, shook his head and said sincerely: "You are really boring."

Xiao Yihuo did not refute, but just smiled and replied softly.

"Each each other."

Lin Lezhi then moved the firewood in his hand towards the statue in front of him. The surface of the statue was originally covered with paint, but now it has faded.

There are indeed some red water drop-shaped marks on the body of the statue, and there are also tiny cracks on the surface of the statue.

After walking around the statue, I found similar traces on its predecessor.

Lin Lezhi looked up at the roof above the statue. There was damage on the roof and mist was drifting into the house.

"It seems that after the villagers of Huaifeng Village were killed, no one repaired this place for a long time, causing the earthen temple to fall into disrepair. The red paint on it also fell off after being exposed to the sun and rain, which resulted in such traces."

After that, Lin Lezhi looked at the sky outside the temple, then looked at Xiao Yihuo and said, "How do you feel now? Can you walk?"

Xiao Yihuo thought for a moment and said, "It's fine now."

"That's good." Lin Lezhi raised his lips and said, "When I went out to pick up branches last night, I found a bluestone road in the weeds. Let's go over and take a look. Maybe another Huaifeng Village is there."

"it is good."

After saying this, Lin Lezhi put out the firewood that was about to burn his hands, put Xiao Yihuo's coat back on, and went to the front to put out the fire in the house.

The moment the light was turned off, the room, which was already dim due to the fog, became even darker.

Lin Lezhi bent down beside the fire and tried to pick up the things he had taken out of the inner pocket of Xiao Yihuo's shirt last night, but when he picked up something, his eyes suddenly darkened.

"what happened?"

Xiao Yihuo noticed that Lin Lezhi's movements were a little slow, so he stepped forward and asked.

Lin Lezhi looked at a small cloth bag on the ground. Because there was a heavy object inside, the opening of the bag was a little loose, and he could see something inside that was glowing with a blue-green light.

Lin Lezhi picked it up from the ground, handed it to Xiao Yihuo and said, "Look."

Xiao Yihuo reached out and took it, then took out the thing inside. The thing that was shining with a blue-green glow was the cracked white jade inlaid with silver that he and Lin Lezhi had found in the basement of the abandoned house.

And the place where the faint light was flashing was exactly the crack of the white jade.

Xiao Yihuo touched the crack of the white jade with his fingers and found that the edge of the silver edging showed slight signs of loosening.

Looking closely, the edge of the silver bag seems to have been pried open.

Seeing this, Lin Lezhi didn't wait for Xiao Yihuo to speak, but skillfully took out Xiao Yihuo's knife from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yihuo.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Yihuo's eyes, and then he used a knife to gently pry the jade stone. Unexpectedly, he pried it off so easily.

After prying it off, there were marks engraved on the silver bottom inside.

The two men looked at each other, then took off all the white jade on top and illuminated it with a fire stick.

Finally I read all the small words engraved on the silver base.

Engraved above.

'Looking for it, it's hidden in the soil, where the golden light shines'.

There are two inconspicuous small words engraved on the lower part of the silver bend near the edge of the jade pendant.

'Qiao Ying'.
