Queen's Detective

"Cousin!" There was only an excited shout, and a red figure rushed towards the door in the posture of a breast swallow.

Chu Yunlou, who came out first, had a terrified expression, and took a step to the right with lightning speed, avoiding it safely.

Ling Ding, who was following behind, was also prepared, and turned to the left to avoid it.

Yan Sanbai at the back was stunned, subconsciously wanting to escape lightly, but just as soon as he practiced, he remembered a certain drunk person who was still pressing on his shoulders, and seeing that he was about to be unable to hide, the drunk suddenly opened his eyes The eyes, the eyes flashed brightly, and he quickly turned around while hugging Yan Sanbai, and then the red figure jumped straight on his back.

Ah, so heavy...

Yan Sanbai didn't need to turn his head to know that now his back was completely stacked with arhats, Li Yan and his cousin, they wanted to murder.

"Cousin, cousin, you are finally back!" The girl in red with bright eyes and bright teeth hugged Li Yan like two balls of fire, one big and one small, which was particularly eye-catching.

Only then did Li Yan mercifully let go of Yan Sanbai, turned around, pushed her away with a finger on the girl's head, and said with a headache: "How many times have I told you, you have to see the person clearly before jumping, What if you pounce on some flowers and plants?"

"No way, other people will hide away when they see me." The girl said happily, and raised her face, revealing a flushed face.

Li Yan: "..."

Li Yan remembered the question she wanted to ask her countless times when she lived in Bird Clothes Lane—are you stupid?

"Okay, Tangtang. If you run out at night, your mother will be worried again. Let's go back." Li Yan rubbed her head, and Xie Xiaotang smiled sweetly and nodded.

Li Yan glanced at Yan Sanbai again, and said: "This is my friend, Yan Sanbai, come with me."

"Ah, I'm Xie Xiaotang!" Xie Xiaotang greeted him happily, then dragged Li Yan away in a bluff, and greeted Yan Sanbai very warmly, as if he had already talked to Yan Sanbai in a few words They became friends, and before they reached the door of Xie's house, they already talked about going to the lake to pick lotus seeds tomorrow.

Yan Sanbai looked at Li Yan, who shrugged.

Well, this is a very special cousin.

When we arrived at Xie's house, the old mansion could still be seen as it used to be. The lights in the house were brightly lit. My lady brought Li Yan home so late. Naturally, it was full of chaos. Cleaners cleaned and greeted guests. Fortunately, it was late at night, and Li Yan's uncle was in office in Yangzhou, and his aunt had already gone to bed, so there was no big commotion.

But when they arrived at the other courtyard where the guest lived, Xie Xiaotang slapped his head, "Oh no, I only asked them to tidy up two rooms, one for my cousin and one for a single one. It happened to be Huangmeiji some time ago, and the rest of the bedding was all cleaned up." I haven't had time to dry it yet."

Xie Xiaotang was rather annoyed, but the corners of Li Yan's mouth slowly curled up into a smile. This smile fell into Ling Ding's eyes, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Actually, if the hero Yan doesn't dislike it, you can follow me..."

"Huh?" Li Yan looked back at him, squinting his eyes, and Danfeng's eyes were filled with a smile, which was really indescribably kind.

Ling Ding shivered, with a cold glow on his back, and immediately changed his words: "How can you not dislike it? I can snore at night, and Hero Yan must not sleep with me."

Unexpectedly, Yan Sanbai said gently: "It's okay, I don't mind."

"No, no, I'm snoring loudly!"

"Then you definitely can't sleep with Brother Yan, Brother Yan, you can sleep with my cousin, I specially prepared a super big, super soft bedding for him, and a new mat, by the way By the way, there are ice cubes prepared in the room to cool off the heat, my cousin is a bit afraid of the heat." Xie Xiaotang naively persuaded, and then asked nervously: "Cousin, are you snoring?"

Li Yan: "...don't fight."

Alone wanted to cry but had no tears, "...I'll fight."

"That's it. Brother Yan, you can sleep with my cousin and sleep well. I will call you early tomorrow morning. Let's go pick lotus together!" After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaotang bounced away, alone Guess, she will definitely have a dream of rowing boats and picking lotus together with her cousin tonight, and the blooming lotus around them will witness their pure and flawless love.

But are you stupid?

Do you know what you have done, your cousin will not love you, but he will be grateful to your cousin!

"Well... I'm leaving too, I'm going to try if the quilt here can cover my snoring." Ling Ding found an excuse and hurriedly withdrew.

Yan Sanbai stood in the courtyard, looked up at the bright full moon, but didn't take a step.

Li Yan leaned over, "The moonlight is pretty good tonight."

Yan Sanbai raised his eyebrows rarely, "Are you sober?"

"It's true when it's fake, and it's not true. People just spend their time in this half-drunk and half-awake state, and it's not beautiful to put it bluntly."

"My lord is already beautiful enough, why not pursue the truth once?"

Yan Sanbai had a rare friendship with Li Yan, but Li Yan smiled, "Don't call me prince, just call me Qinghe, this is my nickname."

Yan Sanbai heard this name countless times tonight, and blinked, "Haiyan Heqing?"

"Yes." Li Yan said: "Reciprocity is a courtesy, where's your name?"

Yan Sanbai shook his head, "My parents left early and didn't have time to pick it up for me."

These words were a bit heavy, but when Yan Sanbai said them, they never gave people a heavy feeling, which probably belonged to Yan Sanbai's gentleness.

Li Yan can understand this tenderness, but his parents died early, so it is really unnecessary for them to comfort each other, it is better to say, "Go to bed early."

Sharing the bed with Li Yan made Yan Sanbai a little nervous, and he couldn't help but think of Li Yan's weird behavior when he was on the boat.But tonight Li Yan was very peaceful, the two slept on each side without interfering with each other.

Yan Sanbai gradually relaxed, attributed the strangeness of the past two days to his own superstition, and soon fell asleep.However, what he didn't expect was that there was more water in the south of the Yangtze River and more mosquitoes.

When he got up early the next morning, he felt itchy in many places on his body, and he scratched it casually, which made it even more itchy.I quickly got up and looked in front of the bronze mirror, only to find that the collarbone and several places in the neck had been bitten by mosquitoes, and there were small red spots, which swelled slightly after being scratched.

Behind him, Li Yan dragged a pair of wooden clogs and kicked past him, glanced at his neckline, and showed a meaningful smile.

Yan Sanbai was suspicious, and didn't think of any tricks for a while, so he covered it up casually and went out.

When I opened the door and went out, I met a lonely person, who originally greeted him normally, but when he saw the red mark on his neck, he suddenly had a terrified expression like he had seen a ghost, and there was a sigh in his eyes.

At this time, Xie Xiaotang rushed over to ask them to have breakfast, and when he saw the obvious red mark on Yan Sanbai's neck, he immediately said 'ah', "Why have you been bitten so much, I'll get you some later Just a little potion, it's very refreshing, it can relieve itching and repel mosquitoes!"

"Thank you." Yan Sanbai thanked with a smile, this girl is very enthusiastic.But what about alone?It's weird...

Little did he know that Lone Ding was breathing a sigh of relief, luckily, luckily.

Xie Xiaotang's mother, Xie Qiaoshi, was also at breakfast. Unlike Xie Xiaotang, who was in a hurry, Xie Qiaoshi was gentle and generous, and her voice was gentle and gentle, and she looked at Li Yan with loving eyes.Even Yan Sanbai, who had never met before, also felt the love in her words and deeds.

After breakfast, Xie Qiao took Li Yan and Yan Sanbai to another courtyard to visit the old couple Xie. The two wanted to be clean and did not eat and live with the younger generation on weekdays.

"Hey, look who is here, isn't it my little Feng'er?" The old lady smiled from ear to ear when she saw Li Yan. Li Yan went over and took her hand and squatted down in front of her, so she couldn't move. The old man can touch his head as before.

"Grandma, I see you are here." Li Yan smiled flatteringly, "Miss me?"

"How can you not think about it, oh my sweetheart. I haven't seen you for two or three years. Look, why are you handsome again?" When grandma looks at her grandson, it's the same as beauty is in the eyes of beauties.

"Cough." Mr. Xie couldn't do anything about his wife's love for his grandson, and his eyes turned to Yan Sanbai, "This little friend is..."

Yan Sanbai clasped his hands in salute, "I'm down Yan Sanbai, I've met Mr. Xie."

"Ah, it's that child from the Yan family." Mr. Xie immediately paused, then waved, "Come here, let me take a closer look at you."

Yan Sanbai hesitated for a moment, then walked forward slowly.Mr. Xie looked at him repeatedly, and finally sighed: "You don't look much like your father, but you are as extraordinary as him. Son, don't be nervous, your father and I are old friends, you are here Just like in your own home, don't be reserved."

"Thank you, old man." Yan Sanbai smiled, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Cousin! Brother Yan! We're going out to swim in the lake, hurry up!" At this time, Xie Xiaotang came in and called out again. After coaxing a few words like honey, the old lady mercifully let her grandson go out to play.

There are many lakes in Yingtian Mansion. Xie Xiaotang claimed to have traveled [-] hectares in the south of the Yangtze River, so he carefully selected, avoided those places with more tourists, and chose a place with few people but with unique scenery. The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun, bringing some coolness to this hot summer day.

The booked boat was already waiting on the shore, the four of them boarded the boat, Xie Xiaotang was sitting on the bow, Li Yan and Yan Sanbai were sitting on both sides rowing, they had a leisurely time alone.

Xie Xiaotang is very experienced in picking lotus pods, and she kept them accurate. She peeled them for the two boatmen while she picked them, and said like a proud kitten: "How is it? I picked a good place, and it's quiet. The lotus seeds are delicious. Go a little further and there is a cool pavilion over there, it’s very comfortable to sit there and enjoy the breeze.”

The pavilion that Xie Xiaotang pointed to was not far ahead. Li Yan and Yan Sanbai took a look at it, and then decided to follow the little girl's mind. A small boat sailed from the lotus at the place, and a middle-aged man who was almost young and wearing a bamboo hat was holding a pole and nodded to them on the boat when he was approaching.

"Several, sorry to bother you."

"What's your business sir?" Li Yan leaned against the railing and looked at him.

The man smiled apologetically, "To tell you the truth, this lake is my son's private property, and it is not open to the public on weekdays. The few of you who came here today are honored guests and should receive them, but my son has been ill recently and cannot see you. Customer, so neglected."

"Ah, I didn't even know there was an owner here." The other party said so respectfully, Xie Xiaotang blushed, "I've picked a lot of lotus pods, and I'll pick some from my pond some other day to compensate you, okay?" good?"

"Miss Xie, don't be so polite. My young master said that the little lotus pod should be a greeting gift for you guys." Although the man is a servant, he has an extraordinary bearing, "If you guys are interested, In your spare time, you can go to Wumei Villa as a guest."

After finishing speaking, the man pushed the boat away again.

Xie Xiaotang was still upset, so Li Yan asked: "Do you know the son he said?"

"How could I know? I only came to this lake last year. At that time, there was no one here."

At this time, Ling Ding pointed to a painting boat in the distance and said, "Is it on that boat? It belongs to some young master."

"It should be... right?" Xie Xiaotang simply stood up and looked into the distance, the painting boat looked very luxurious.Li Yan also saw it, and couldn't help being aroused. You must know that even if he is the king of Luoyang, he has never owned such a luxurious painting boat.

He turned his head and hooked Yan Sanbai's eyes, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"It's not good to disturb others' self-cultivation like this?" Yan Sanbai said.

Li Yan smiled wildly, "He is sick, don't you have medicine?"

Only then did Yan Sanbai remember the medicine from Yaowanggu, thinking that this is good, it can be regarded as repaying the love of the lotus pod, so he prepared to row a boat to visit.

But just as they boarded the boat, shouts came from the shore.The shouting can be heard from such a distance, which shows how eager the man is.

Taking a closer look, he was still an acquaintance - Chu Yunlou.

Li Yan knew Chu Yunlou's character well, and it would never be like this if there was no urgent matter, so Dang even had to give up the boat trip and return to the shore first.

Chu Yunlou anxiously paced along the bank, saw that Li Yan had finally arrived, hurried up to greet him, and said without waiting to ask, "Brother Ying is gone!"

At the same time, on the boat.

A white palm was holding the gauze curtain, her sickly pale face was hidden in the shadows, but those jet-black eyes kept looking out, following the lotus-picking boat away.

Suddenly, he coughed violently a few times, and the bright red blood stained his pale lips, making him extraordinarily alluring.

He stuck out his tongue and licked it lightly, as if he had tasted something delicious, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
