The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Everyone hurried back to Ayiduo's home overnight.

Ayiduo quickly regained consciousness. She lay on the bed without saying a word, crying silently.

The person she loved most was brutally murdered many years ago. She has always resented him and regretted having given her heart to him.

They once chased each other with laughter on the spring hillsides, picking beautiful magnolia flowers.

They kissed passionately and hugged each other warmly...

They took walks in the town when they had nothing to do, full of anticipation for their future life.

She still remembers every word Xiaobao said to her.

He said, "Ayiduo, I want to retire now, take you home to see my father, and then bring him to town, so that we can live a good life as a family in the future."

He said, "Ayiduo, I wish I could rub you into my bones and never be separated from you again!"

He said, "It would be great if you could turn into a little girl. I could hold you in my hands, put you on my chest, and take you everywhere with me!"

……

They were so happy at that time that even the air was filled with sweetness.

They love each other deeply, and they both believe that they can stay with each other for the rest of their lives, growing old together and never leaving each other.

They had so many wonderful days together, and Xiaobao did not let her down.

Over the years, she never imagined that Xiaobao was sleeping at the foot of a hill not far from where she lived.

The more Ayiduo thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears couldn't stop rolling down her cheeks.

Everyone was in a heavy mood. They finally found the twenty missing officers and soldiers, all of whom had turned into piles of bones.

The little medical fairy came to Ayiduo and held her hand.

"Sister, tell us Shen Xiaobao's appearance in great detail. Xiaowu is good at painting, so let him draw it later. We will try to help you find Shen Xiaobao tomorrow."

Aido looked at the five people surrounding the bed with tears in her eyes.

"Xiaobao, and those soldiers, are they really going to die like this? This is simply a disregard for human life! Is there really no way to seek justice for them?"

Gu Zhanghua's heart was filled with unspeakable sadness. He also wanted to seek justice for the innocent soldiers who died, but the current situation did not allow him to do so.

"Sister, after we help you identify Shen Xiaobao's remains, we must rebury them.

We can only do so much now. We will make other plans after returning to Chuyang and consulting with the Crown Prince of Yue."

Zhao Xuan felt heartbroken when she heard Gu Zhanghua say this.

"Xiao Wu, can we find a new place to bury them properly?"

Gu Zhanghua put his arm around Zhao Xuan's shoulders, looked at everyone, and spoke in a low voice, every word hitting the point.

"Now is not the time to act rashly. If the real culprit learns that we have found this garrison team, I'm afraid we won't be able to protect ourselves, let alone continue to pursue the truth.

Even if I don't say it, everyone knows it in their hearts. More than ten years have passed, and twenty living people have been brutally murdered. They were all enlisted soldiers in the military.

No one from the military or the government cared about it.

Now that I think about it, the sudden emergency withdrawal of defense seemed like a rumor deliberately spread to cover up the murder case.

This is very telling. The power behind this may be difficult even for the Crown Prince of Yue to contend with.

Sister Ayiduo, it’s not that we don’t want to seek justice for the deceased, but we don’t have the ability to do so now.

You are alone and weak, so you must keep it a secret. You cannot tell anyone what happened tonight!"

Every word Gu Zhanghua said made sense. Aiduo's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. She knew very well that she could not avenge Xiaobao and the others.

Her only hope now is the five young people in front of her.

Everyone was very worried about Aiduo's condition, and they gathered in Aiduo's room tacitly, and no one went back to their room to sleep.

They spread their quilts on the ground, sat against the wall, or lay on the ground, none of them felt sleepy.

The corpses in the dense forest appeared in everyone's eyes from time to time.

Ayiduo looked at the five young men.

They were all young, around twenty years old, and had traveled thousands of miles from the Xia Kingdom to this remote Guze Town. Regardless of their own safety, they worked together to find out the truth.

Aido's cold heart gradually warmed up with the company of five little friends.

"You five people know that it's dangerous to continue investigating, so why do you still want to continue investigating?"

Gu Zhanghua smiled faintly.

"You think we are the Jingwei bird, and the Jingwei filling the sea is referring to us!"

Ayiduo was a little confused.

"What Jingwei bird?"

Hao Xiong also asked Gu Zhanghua.

"Brother-in-law, I'm just like Sister Ayiduo. I don't know what Jingwei filling the sea is talking about. Can you explain it to us?"

Zhao Xuan sat next to Gu Zhanghua against the wall, held Gu Zhanghua's arm, and rested her head on Gu Zhanghua's shoulder.

"I love listening to your stories the most. Since I can't sleep anyway, tell us."

Gu Zhanghua spoke in a gentle voice and began to tell everyone a story.

"The story of Jingwei filling the sea comes from the ancient mythology of our Xia State. Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor are the ancestors of our Xia State.

It is said that Emperor Yan had a little daughter named Nvwa. She loved swimming in the East China Sea, which made the sea god of the East China Sea very unhappy.

One day, the sea god rolled up huge waves and submerged the girl, who unfortunately drowned.

The girl's soul turned into a bird named Jingwei, who was determined to fill up the East China Sea to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.

The Jingwei bird looks like a crow, but it is more beautiful than a crow. It has patterns on its head, a white beak, and red claws.

Every day she brought stones and plants from the mountains, flew over the East China Sea, and threw them into the sea.

Although the sea was vast and the branches and stones Jingwei brought were insignificant, she never gave up.

Day after day, year after year, Jingwei persisted in this seemingly impossible task.

This ancient legend tells us that as long as we are like Jingwei, not afraid of hardships and difficulties, and bravely move forward, we will surely win the day!

Ayiduo and everyone else were listening quietly and thinking.

Gu Zhanghua continued speaking.

"I remember seeing a poem called 'Jingwei'. I'll translate it for you.

Someone asked Jingwei, "There are so many injustices in the world, why do you make yourself so tired? Can you handle it all?"

Your tiny body is only an inch long. Every time you bring a twig or a stone to fill the sea, wouldn’t it be impossible to fill the sea even if you wait until the end of the world?

Jingwei told the person who asked it questions.

My wish is to fill up the East China Sea. Even if I die one day and my body sinks into the sea, my wish will not change!

Until the day the sea is filled up, I will never give up!"

Zhao Xuan clapped her hands vigorously.

"Xiao Wu, I really like the story you told! We are the five little Jingwei birds!

No matter how hard and difficult the road ahead is, we must persist in finding out the truth!"

A smile appeared on Ayiduo's face.

"That's very well said! If it weren't for your help this time, Xiaobao and his companions would have been sleeping underground for who knows how many years.

I will continue to misunderstand Xiaobao and live my life in confusion. When I find Xiaobao tomorrow, I will do the same as you and muster up the courage to live a good life with Guoer!"

Hao Xiong stood up, twisted his neck and stretched his legs.

"This story really energized me! It's almost dawn, I'm going to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone."

Guan Liushui also stood up and followed Hao Xiong.

"I can't sleep anyway, I'll go with you."

The Little Medical Fairy saw Guan Liushui walking with a limp.

"What happened to your leg?"

Guan Liushui looked at his left calf.

"It's okay. I was bitten by a mosquito yesterday. It hurts a little."

Xiao Yixiang hurriedly walked up to Guan Liushui, squatted down and reached out to pull up Guan Liushui's trouser legs. Before she pulled them halfway, Guan Liushui cried out in pain.

"It hurts! Sister, please be gentle!"

"I didn't try hard at all!"

Xiao Yixian stood up, looking a little anxious.

"Take off your pants! Quick!"

Guan Liushui subconsciously looked around.

"There are so many people here... You want me to take off my pants in front of everyone? Are you kidding me?"
