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

Lin Lezhi panicked for a moment, wondering if this kid had discovered something.

Lin Lezhi pretended to be relaxed and jokingly answered, "I'm not Jiang Lian'an, am I a ghost?" Halfway through, Lin Lezhi had an even more outrageous idea in his mind, and said to Xiao Xu mysteriously, "Or, am I the river god of Yulong Waterfall, and I'm here to pick up my bride."

"..."

Lin Lezhi's words successfully silenced Xiao Xu for a moment.

"But just now when Miss Wan'er said you were Jiang Lian'an, you looked as if you had never heard of it."

"Did I?"

"I just said what I thought. Maybe I was overthinking it. Sorry."

Lin Lezhi had no idea what was going on. If he avoided answering the question, it would only arouse suspicion. He also didn't know if he could go back. It would be better to go with the flow and acknowledge Jiang Lian'an's identity.

"I actually lost my memory and didn't know who I was. When I woke up, I was in the river. I almost lost my life."

A hint of suspicion flashed across Xiao Xu's eyes.

"Since you have lost your memory, why did you agree to help Sun Wan'er find the body? The people in Yulong Village seem to be deliberately hiding something. This matter must not be that simple. Why did you get involved in this mess?"

Lin Lezhi responded without thinking, "What the girl said just now is true. A girl who is eager to find someone will not lie to me. Besides..." Lin Lezhi clenched the branch in his hand, his eyes darkened, "Didn't you also promise to help Miss Wan'er? If I can help her fulfill this wish, it would be a good thing."

When the girl handed him the hairpin just now, Lin Lezhi accidentally saw Sun Wan'er's exposed skin, which looked like plum blossoms.

She has the same disease as Su Li and she will probably not live long.

Presumably it was for this reason that Mother Zhao let her leave Chunhua Tower.

Seeing that he had almost picked up all the branches, Lin Lezhi stood up with a bunch of branches.

"This should be enough. Let's go back. It's freezing outside."

"Ah."

Back in the temple, Lin Lezhi piled the branches together. Xiao Xu took out the fire starter from his arms and lit the branches. Lin Lezhi called Su Wan'er to sit around the fire and warm themselves together.

After running for so long, Lin Lezhi finally had a warm fire and showed a satisfied expression.

Unfortunately, it was not convenient to take off clothes in front of Miss Wan'er. Lin Lezhi took a look at the wedding dress thrown on the ground and rejected it in his heart.

Just as Lin Lezhi was stunned, Xiao Xu took out a set of clothes from his bag and threw it over Lin Lezhi's head.

"Hurry up and change your dirty and wet clothes, then I will help you treat the wound on your head."

Lin Lezhi wanted to curse at first, but when he saw that it was a set of clothes, he lost all his temper and said like a lackey: "Okay, thank you Brother Xiao."

Seeing this scene, Su Wan'er, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Lin Lezhi hid to the side to change clothes, his eyes accidentally swept across the left hand of the stone statue.

On the left wrist of the stone statue, there is a very discordant piece of jewelry. Compared with other delicate accessories, it looks very rough and it is obvious at first glance that it is not a piece of jewelry made of jade, gold or stone.

It looks like an oval bead strung on a thin string.

Lin Lezhi raised his hand and asked, "That bead is the red bead mentioned in the poem's title."

Sun Wan'er nodded.

"Yes, the red bead is also called acacia bean. I heard from the villagers here that the red bead was made by Li Weisheng himself and given to He Yuqing. He Yuqing always carried it with her as a token of their love. Even when she got married, she refused to take it off."

"When I found Sister A-li's hairpin under the Jade Dragon Waterfall, I saw the red bean tree next to the waterfall. I guess they made the promise under that red bean tree."

When mentioning Su Li, Sun Wan'er's eyes showed a hint of loneliness again.

Lin Lezhi returned the plum blossom hairpin in his hand, which was faded by running water and had many cracks, to Sun Wan'er and comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss Wan'er, I will definitely help you find Sister A'li."

Hearing Lin Lezhi say this, Sun Wan'er's eyes lit up with joy, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

"Miss Wan'er, there's no need to thank me. It's getting late. Take a rest."

When Xiao Xu was treating his wound, he took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and applied the cool paste on his head.

With the help of the fire, it wasn't that cold at night. The three of them took turns sleeping and soon it was morning.

At daybreak, before the villagers came in, the three of them walked along the path outside the Hongzhu Temple towards the Yulong Waterfall. It only took them about five minutes to reach the Yulong Waterfall.

There were still lanterns floating on the water that had fallen from upstream last night.

The water mist condenses, and from a distance it looks like a fairyland on earth.

Although I had personally experienced the power of this waterfall last night, I could not help but feel a little frightened when I saw the vigorous and cascading water.

Lin Lezhi exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "No wonder this place is called Yulong Waterfall."

Xiao Xu followed Lin Lezhi's gaze and asked casually, "What do you mean?"

Lin Lezhi raised his finger and drew the shape of a waterfall in the air.

"Most common waterfalls fall straight down, but you can see that there is a big bend in the middle of this waterfall. When the waterfall flows to that position, it looks like a jade dragon lying down, and then it flows down like a jade dragon dancing between heaven and earth."

Xiao Xu's gaze fell on Lin Lezhi, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "So, you have really traveled to many places."

"of course."

Although I searched all of them online while writing, you can travel to mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas without leaving home.

As we got closer, we found several red bean trees under the waterfall.

Summer is the season when red beans ripen and they are bright red.

Some of the red beans, either ripe or blown away by the wind, fell into the water and showed signs of sprouting.

Lin Lezhi picked a red bean from the tree and played with it in his hand.

However, the relaxation did not last long as they heard hurried footsteps behind them. The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw Village Chief Ji walking in with the villagers.

The villagers came in early in the morning and saw the wedding dress on the ground of Hongzhu Temple. They hurried to Yulong Waterfall to check the situation.

But he saw that Lin Lezhi and the other three were still alive, with expressions of shock and horror on their faces.

The hand holding the cane was shaking slightly, and even the voice of the village chief was trembling, "You... why are you still alive?"

Lin Lezhi pretended to be disappointed, shook his head and said, "To be honest...it's a pity that I didn't get to meet the legendary river god. Your river god is too weak. He only dares to bully women, not men."

"How dare you slander our Lord River God like this!"

Village Chief Ji was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, several strong guys beside him came forward to support him. Village Chief Ji said angrily: "Quick! Catch them for me!"
