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

The time approaching midnight.

Lin Lezhi lay on his back on the boulder, enjoying the breeze around him, listening to the occasional chirping of cicadas and the sound of the surging waterfall, and looking at the stars above his head thoughtfully.

Take it easy.

His state of mind was obviously different from that day when he escaped death.

"You're not sleeping late at night and come here to go crazy."

Hearing Xiao Xu's voice, Lin Lezhi was not surprised. Instead, he sat up and moved to the side, leaving some space for Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu frowned slightly, but still sat down next to Lin Lezhi.

The waterfall is located very high, and the Hongzhu Temple is brightly lit, so you can see the Hongzhu Temple very clearly.

At first, neither of them spoke.

"you……"

The two people spoke at the same time.

Lin Lezhi smiled and made a gesture of invitation with his hand: "You speak first."

Xiao Xu was silent for a while and then said, "You went to Hongzhu Temple today not just to tell him the truth, right?"

"Yes." Lin Lezhi responded, took out the fake red bean from his waist, opened it in front of Xiao Xu, and said truthfully: "I have been in this village for a few days, and I have not seen any trace of Datura flowers here. The only one I have seen is in the mass grave. Where did the seeds in Li Weisheng's hand come from?"

"Moreover, no one in the whole government was spared from the murder of the gang of robbers in Changluan Town. It is definitely not something that could be done by one person. Li Weisheng was taking the imperial examination at that time and it was impossible for him to come back to kill people. Who could be the person who secretly helped Li Weisheng?"

"Why didn't you just ask him directly?"

"If I ask him, he won't tell me. He looks like he really hates me." Lin Lezhi changed the subject and said, "Okay! It's my turn to ask you."

Xiao Xu looked at Lin Lezhi and motioned for Lin Lezhi to continue.

"Do you know...what kind of person Jiang Lian'an is?"

"do not know."

Xiao Xu answered without thinking.

Lin Lezhi said without any surprise: "I think so too. It's useless to ask you."

"Although I have only heard of his name before and never met him in person, this group from Yulong Village is also the first time I have seen him. I think even if someone loses his memory, his personality will not change much. At least after spending the past few days with him, I feel he is pretty good."

This was the first time I sat down and chatted with Xiao Xu in all these days, and it was also the first time I heard Xiao Xu talk so much.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Xu looked at Lin Lezhi and asked, "Even if you have lost your memory, you have not lost your ability to solve cases. I have another question for you."

"You ask."

Xiao Xu stared at Lin Lezhi and said, "Do you think it's possible for a dead person to come back to life?"

Hearing this, Lin Lezhi tightened his hands slightly, then looked away and said, "How can a dead person come back to life, unless..."

Xiao Xu's eyes darkened, "Unless what?"

"Unless that person is not dead at all."

"Is this possible?"

"Of course there is." Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Xu and continued, "Either that person faked his death, or that person found a scapegoat. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be alive."

"Why, did you encounter this situation?"

Xiao Xu retracted his gaze and said, "No, it's just that I can't figure it out."

"What don't you understand?"

"Since you have the ability to solve cases and see things more clearly than ordinary people, why do you always want to die? Is your life so worthless?"

Fortunately, Lin Lezhi was not drinking water now, otherwise he would have vomited all the water out. Although there was no water, Lin Lezhi was still choked. After a "cough", Lin Lezhi raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do I look like that?"

"........."

They looked at each other speechlessly.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Who would let others help kill him? In Xiao Xu's eyes, he was probably a madman who was willing to commit suicide anytime and anywhere.

After a while, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then they let it go.

Counting the days, this is already the fifth day since I came to this world, if the time here passes the same as in the real world.

I guess it has already happened.

"I did forget what happened before I fell into the river, and I don't know why I fell into the river, but I didn't forget everything."

Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly darkened, "What do you remember?"

"You asked me what secret I told the child that day. That's the only thing I remember."

Lin Lezhi's eyes were sometimes bright and sometimes dark. A breeze blew by, making Lin Lezhi's already messy hair even more messy. Lin Lezhi looked at Xiao Xu and said with some sadness in his eyes: "Because of my mistake, I lost a very important person."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Xu's eyes were no longer as cold as usual. He tightened his fists and said, "I'm the same as you, but I always think, it would be better if I had never been born."

Lin Lezhi patted Xiao Xu's shoulder and said, "Don't say that. If you hadn't appeared here, I don't know how many times I would have died. Remember this." Lin Lezhi looked up at the stars in the sky. "Since God has given me the opportunity to live, there must be a reason for it. Cherish it well."

Xiao Xu looked at Jiang Lian'an in front of him, but he couldn't see through her. Then he raised a smile and said calmly, "I will return this sentence to you."

"You really know how to apply what you have learned. Thank you very much!"

The sound of a night watchman announced the arrival of midnight.

A huge fire suddenly broke out in Yulong Village, which should have been quiet at night. Xiao Xu and Lin Lezhi stood up quickly, the firelight reflected in their eyes.

It is the Hongzhu Temple.

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire! Magistrate Li is still inside!"

"No, the door is locked from the inside!"

For some reason, the fire at Hongzhu Temple was particularly severe. Even if the yamen runners wanted to go around to Yulong Waterfall to get water, it would be very difficult.

In just a stick of incense, the Hongzhu Temple was surrounded by raging fire.

Before midnight.

After Xiao Xu and Lin Lezhi left, Li Weisheng held He Yuqing's body and sat on the mat in a daze, still tightly clutching the poem He Yuqing wrote to him in his hand.

Repeated it in my mouth over and over again.

again and again.

again and again.

I never get tired of reading it.

After a long time, Li Weisheng saw the red beans on the ground. They were just scattered by the children this morning, all over the ground in the Hongzhu Temple.

Li Weisheng carefully laid He Yuqing on the ground, and then pulled down all the red silk in the house.

The red silk was also scattered all over the ground.

After doing all this, Li Weisheng returned to He Yuqing's side, took the piece of red silk closest to him, pulled out the silk inside, and found two red beans that looked the fullest from the ground.

Re-weave them into a bracelet.

Then he put them on He Yuqing's and his own wrist respectively. However, Li Weisheng did not take off the old one on his own wrist and wore both on his wrists.

Li Weisheng stroked the scratch on He Yuqing's wrist with his fingers, just as happy as he was this morning, and asked with a happy smile on his face: "Yuqing, after the wedding ceremony tonight, we will start our new life tomorrow, okay?"

Li Weisheng was responded to by silence.

"We will definitely be happy in the future."

As soon as the night watchman rang at midnight, Li Weisheng ignited all the candles in the house onto the red silk, which was connected to the wooden house, and soon caught fire.

The sky was lit up by flames.

That was their wedding night.

In the firelight, Li Weisheng was still holding He Yuqing's body, and his expression seemed to be imagining their future.

"There's something I haven't told you yet. My name is..."

Li Weisheng whispered softly into He Yuqing's ear, whispering a secret that belonged only to them.
