Colleagues here are all white lotus [Rebirth]

Xie Yin quietly raised the window curtain and looked out.

The carriage drove out of Gezhou at night, and the night was getting darker, the outside was pitch black, and the shadows of the trees were like swaying ghosts.The only sound in my ears is the sound of horseshoes and wheels.There is no snow in Gezhou, but the air is dry and cold, and the cold wind makes people's faces hurt.

Xie Yin put down the curtain, turned around and realized that there was a faint embarrassment in the air after Gu Lin went out.

He rolled his eyes, looked at the sky and the earth, looked at the lights but didn't look at Chu Yan, restless in silence, "..."

Chu Yan watched Xie Yin turn his face away, his cat eyes reflected the dim light of the Pinghai Lantern, without the gloomy and ruthless expression of "Xie Yin" he was familiar with, a bit guilty and short-spirited in the clarity and an almost imperceptible fear.He frowned slightly, breaking the silence, "That little servant of yours is very skilled."

Xie Yin hesitated for a moment, couldn't help touching his face again, and smiled, "Well, it's a pity that I have to do it again every two days."

Chu Yan suddenly got very close, and his exhaled breath hit Xie Yin's face. Xie Yin's body stiffened instantly, and he retreated in a panic, but Chu Yan stuck his back.Chu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xie Yin's face, "Let me see if there are any flaws."

Xie Yin had no choice but to let Chu Yan look at him with a stiff face, but he didn't know where to put his eyes, so he could only stare straight.

The other party's eyes are deeper than the night, and his expression is often cold. With Xie Yin's paragraphs, it is difficult to see what he is thinking.

Xie Yin lowered his eyelids, and at some point put his hands on Chu Yan's shoulders, not too strong but not too weak, preventing the distance between them from shortening further.

Chu Yan reached out and rubbed Xie Yin's chin, but the latter turned his head but could not escape the control.The man's expression was half a smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Xie to be as beautiful as the capital."

Xie Yin choked, "..."

But Chu Yan quickly restrained his expression, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he murmured as if talking to himself, but every word was dug into the bottom of Xie Yin's heart. "Unfortunately, Master Xie's method of killing people is also unique."

The originally mild atmosphere in the carriage condensed instantly.

Xie Yin was startled, lowered his eyes and stroked the water sac as if avoiding it.If it hadn't been mentioned from time to time, he would have almost forgotten that not only the faction, but also human life stood between King Zhao and himself.And Chu Yan's attitude towards him these days almost gave him the illusion that they get along well.

In an instant, Bo Jue's eyes full of deep-rooted hatred appeared in his mind, Xie Yin didn't even understand whether the resurrection from the dead was a chance given to him by heaven or a disaster that he could not solve.

It was also at this moment that he couldn't wait to analyze the idea of ​​escaping from this identity in his mind. The more he went down, the more he found that he couldn't take it slowly as he thought before, and he might not live long enough to have the opportunity to resign. When the official returned home.

·

The carriage drove along the official road at night, and the men led by Gu Tong solved several "tails" brought from the capital.No matter how powerful Zhou Xingsheng was, he was still a coward. He couldn't stretch his arms so far, but it was certain that there were people tied to him by the same rope in the court.

At dawn, the sound of rooster crowing pierces through the mist, and smoke rises from the fields.Xie Yin was drowsy leaning against the cushion on the car wall, but was awakened by the fresh smell of grass and food in the air.

Going south for half a day here is Huaiyin.Huaiyin was the last stop they entered the south of the Yangtze River. It was not disturbed by ice and snow, people's livelihood was stable, and the market was not inferior to the northern state city.

Around noon, everyone stayed in a clean and convenient inn in the south of Huaiyin City.Both man and horse must be cultivated.

At dusk, Xie Yin woke up from the bed, and the orange sunset shone in the room through the window lattice, very magnificent.As soon as Xie Yin went out, he found it was empty, and the little six were not there. Chu Yan and Gu Lin didn't know whether they were in the room or out.

Xie Yin staggered to the backyard, didn't ask Xiao Er to fetch hot water, but wiped his face with the water just drawn from the well, it was so heart-wrenching, he became sober.I took a photo of the well water, and my face was still normal.

Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes from the stables, Xie Yin looked over, the man next to the horse feeder seemed to be a little boy, and the two of them leaned together to stuff the horse with hay.

Xie Yin shook his face, didn't call Little Six, walked out of the inn through the lobby, and walked towards the brightly lit North Street.Two black shadows followed behind him, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.Xie Yin curled his lips and walked all the way.

With less than one month left and New Year's Eve, the red paper, lanterns, and New Year pictures on the stalls in the shop are slowly displayed.There is an old scholar with a gray beard who writes couplets on the street, and there is also a big girl who sells sweets and cakes.

Xie Yin ate the candy cakes and walked to the couplet shop surrounded by people to watch the excitement for a while. The people who bought the couplets were all asking for "family reunion" and so on. Thinking of his past and present, he I feel very boring.

As he was walking back, he suddenly heard someone yelling, "Catch the thief! That girl who stole the buns!" Xie Yin quickly looked up, and the person who called was the man selling meat stuffed buns next to him, but he was crowded in front of the stall. There were many people around, but I couldn't come out for a while, only to see a thin and small black figure quickly slipped into the alley next to it and disappeared without a trace.

Someone persuaded the man: "Brother, you should accumulate virtue today! They are all refugees who escaped from the south, and they are suffering from the cold today. It's really hard for people to live!"

After hearing this, the stall owner had no choice but to give up, sighed and complained, "I also have to support my family..."

Xie Yin made a gesture, and a guard following him appeared instantly. Xie Yin compared the direction in which the thief was escaping, and the guard nodded and chased after him.

But it took only half a stick of incense, and the guard came back to report.Xie Yin was instructing the little six sons who came out to look for him to hold the food he bought, and after hearing what Jinwei had found, the two followed Jinwei to the Town God's Temple one after the other.

The Town God's Temple in Huaiyin was built a hundred years ago, but it is now in dilapidated condition, and there are usually homeless people and beggars living there.Xie Yin and Xiaoliuzi came to the Town God's Temple, and heard the voice of a little girl inside through the wooden door whose hinges were jammed. When they looked inside, the little girl who had previously stolen meat stuffed buns was helping a girl lying on the hay. The young man on the road was fed. The young man was pale and his eyes were blue, and he was very weak.

Xie Yin lifted his clothes, avoided the cobwebs at the door and stepped into the threshold, the two of them looked at him together.Xie Yin sharply saw the little girl stuffing half of a bun into her clothes, her pair of bright black eyes were vigilant like a wolf dog.

Xie Yin took a look at the Town God's Temple. Several prayer flags had been torn down and used as mattress pads. There were cobwebs everywhere, and there were signs of sweeping on the ground. Firewood was burning in the middle, and the bricks and stones paving the ground were all burned. black.

The young man frowned in doubt, coughed once or twice from time to time, and looked like a long-term sick person.Xie Yin whispered a few words to Xiao Liuzi, and Xiao Liuzi put a smile on his face and passed the pastry in his arms. The little girl was very wary at first, but seeing Xiao Liuzi smiling happily, the young and handsome young master raised eyebrows. Soft, gradually let go of his vigilance, took the pastry, stuffed one piece into his stomach in two or three bites, and took another piece to feed the young man two bites.

Seeing this, the young man wanted to stand up but was completely powerless, so he could only sit against the wall supported by his sister.Little Six found a stool for Xie Yin to put a candlestick on, wiped the dust and put a handkerchief on it for Xie Yin to sit on.

Xie Yin looked at the two of them who ate a few yuan and were choked to find water and didn't bother to say thank you, so he said, "You two are from Jiangnan?"

Hearing this, the young man suddenly became vigilant, and asked cautiously: "This young master is..."

Xie Yin said: "My brother and I originally wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River to do some business, but today we arrived in Huaiyin and learned from other people that the frost disaster in the south is so severe? However, the imperial palace newspaper did not say that the ice disaster was so severe, why are there so many refugees? "

The young man looked relieved, and smiled wryly, "Nearly ten people have froze to death in the village of Xia's hometown alone. It's more than terrible. In Xia's family, I make a living by fishing, but in such weather, the river is frozen." I lived there, and my family lacked food for the winter. So I took my sister-in-law to Huaiyin to find my aunt who was married, but I accidentally fell into the water on the way, caught wind and cold and had no money to see a doctor. After entering Huaiyin City, I found that my aunt’s house had already I don't know where I moved to, and I couldn't find a place to live for a while, so I had to rest in this Chenghuang Temple."

Xie Yin chatted with the young man again and found out that his family was from Yushui Village under the jurisdiction of Zhanyuan County. His name was Du Yi, and his younger sister was called A Ling.Yushui Village was only two or three days away from Huaiyin on foot, so the eldest son and younger sister were asked to come to the uncle's house to borrow food.Du Yi originally wanted to persuade his parents and elders to come to Huaiyin and seek refuge with his uncle, but the old people insisted on not leaving home, and the food at home was definitely not enough for the whole family to travel, if they all came to Huaiyin, they would have no way out.Unexpectedly, Du Yi fell into the water halfway and got sick, and couldn't find his aunt's house. He had been delayed for several days, and he had eaten up all the dry food on his body. He had to rely on his younger sister to go out with other people in the Town God's Temple to find something to eat every day.

When Du Yi said this, his face became paler. As the eldest brother, he would not only be unable to protect the younger sister, but would become her burden, but there was no way to relieve the current predicament.

Xie Yin added some words, and after thinking about it, he still didn't ask them about the blood letter sent by a hundred people from Yushui Village, so as not to reveal his identity prematurely.

Xie Yin asked someone to send Du Yi to the hospital. The brother and sister heard that they were going to Yushui Village, and the terrain of Yushui Village was peculiar. The first time a foreigner enters the mountain, he either gets stuck in a carriage or goes off the road. So he asked Ah Ling to lead them the way.Xie Yin thought that this would be a good time to get acquainted with the villagers, so he agreed, and left some money to Du Yi, which he gave to the doctor in the hospital, and then took Ah Ling back to the hotel.

At this time, Chu Yan had just returned to the inn and was writing a letter in the room. A guard stood in front of him and reported in detail what Mr. Xie Yinxie had done today.

Chu Yan listened intently, until he heard that Xie Yin had saved the two brothers and sisters in Yushui Village, his strokes paused, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and when the guard finished speaking, he said, "Come here if you want to sleep It's too appropriate to put the pillow on. Send two people to watch over Du Yi."

"Yes!"

After Chu Yan finished writing the letterhead, he sealed it with wax paint, put it in a wooden box that must be opened in order, and gave it to the guards, "Send it to the capital."

The guard retreated in response.
