Xie Yin went back to the inn, only to see Chu Yan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, on the corridor on the second floor, and suddenly thought that he had found a "guide" on his own without discussing it with Chu Yan, so he couldn't help feeling guilty.

Sure enough, Chu Yan walked down and glanced at Du Ling who was following Xie Yin, and then turned his gaze to Xie Yin, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xie Yin coughed twice, and asked the little six to take the little girl to the kitchen in the backyard to get something to eat, and then briefly explained the cause and effect. Yan's expression.

Chu Yan showed an expression of surprise without distraction, and did not express his opinion on Mr. Xie's self-assertion. Xie Yin finally relaxed.

It just so happened that he had been stuffed with a piece of sugar cake this afternoon, and at this moment he was cooing inappropriately, and his face turned a little red.

Fortunately, Chu Yan kindly untied him, and said, "I've sent people to prepare dinner. Brother Qing, sit down first."

Xie Yin shuddered when he heard the word "brother Qing", hurriedly found a clean table and sat down, stretched his head to look at the kitchen in the backyard, so he didn't see the flashing smile on His Highness King Zhao's face.

In the early morning of the second day, a group of people boarded a carriage and set off to Yushui Village, Zhanyuan County. Since everyone except Du Ling was male, they hired a carriage for Du Ling in Huaiyin before departure.

All the way south, it was getting colder and colder, and the hillsides with a slightly higher altitude showed signs of being frozen. To prevent the carriage from slipping, iron locks were specially tied to the wheels.That's the case, and I didn't enter Zhanyuan until the afternoon.

Yushui Village is in the northernmost part of Zhanyuan County. As Du Yi said, Yushui Village is almost entirely composed of jagged rocks, and the road to the village is narrow, steep and very hidden.Even with Du Ling guiding the way, Xie Yin's butt was still going numb.

The carriage drove to a slightly flatter ground and could no longer go on. There was an extremely narrow rock crevice in front of Du Ling.

Everyone was helpless, leaving three guards to set up a tent near the carriage, and the rest continued to go to Yushui Village.

Sure enough, not far away, there was a natural barrier. A rock cliff was split in two by the power of ghosts and gods, leaving only a gap in the middle for people to pass through.And this rocky cliff is dangerous and steep, if one is not skilled enough and has no equipment, it is almost impossible to climb over the rocky cliff.

The gap between the rocks is not too short, and several people walked carefully, so it took nearly half a minute to see the sky again.

When Xie Yin came out from the crack in the stone, he was overwhelmed by the scenery in front of him.On the empty flat land surrounded by steep cliffs in front of you, there are criss-crossed fields, and the thatched cottages are covered with snow.

The village was surrounded by steep cliffs, Xie Yin looked back at the crevice where a gleam of light came out, it seemed that this was the only way to enter and exit the Yushui Village.

At this time, although the sky was getting dark, the surrounding area was still brightly lit due to the radiance of the snow.

Xie Yin was about to follow the people ahead to the village when he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help squatting down and touched the stone wall next to the exit with his hands.

There is no snow or ice on the stone wall, and it is still rough and cold. The weeds that originally lived in the cracks did not survive in this kind of weather.

It's just... Xie Yin wiped it vigorously, and looked at his thumb, it seemed that there was something else mixed in the black stone chips...

Chu Yan saw the young man who didn't know what he was doing there, and after seeing his movements, he understood. Gu Lin beside him immediately took out a clean handkerchief, knelt down and wiped it on the place Xie Yin wiped, and then looked at the handkerchief Then he stood up and showed it to Chu Yan, and said in a low voice, "It's blood."

His voice was very soft, because Du Ling, who was very excited to go home, had already walked far ahead and didn't hear it, but Xie Yin, who had been silently watching Commander Gu's seemingly more professional movements, heard it.He shivered, and then... thinking that no one was watching, he quietly rubbed his thumb that had brushed against the stone wall on the hem of his clothes.

Chu Yan frowned slightly when he heard what Gu Lin said, but he almost couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth when he saw Mr. Xie's small movements.

"As expected of the young minister of Dali Temple."

Xie Yin heard this compliment that sounded insincere all of a sudden, twitched the corners of his mouth, and expressed his vague feeling, "It seems to be the shape of a personal handprint." not coming out...

The faces of several people were terrified when they heard this. Little Six had trembled a little since Commander Gu said it was blood, but when he heard his master's words, he was startled and trembled, "Could it be someone..." It was only halfway through the conversation that he realized that the prince was there, so he quickly stopped talking.

Everyone looked at the empty village illuminated by the snow, and fell silent.

Xie Yin compared the size of the bloody handprint. It should have been left here after being seriously injured and could only crawl. He seemed to be desperately trying to escape from this village.

Thinking about the many possibilities, a chill ran up the back of his spine.

The picture in his mind was getting more and more bloody, Xie Yin silently approached Commander Gu who seemed to have the highest force value in small steps.

"Your Highness?" Gu Lin's expression was also very solemn, just as he was asking Chu Yan in a low voice, there was a sudden cheer in front of him, and everyone looked over involuntarily.

Ah Ling ran at the front, and after discovering the bloody fingerprints, two guards caught up with her, and when she was about to let her stay where she was, a person suddenly came out of a thatched house at the entrance of the village.

The man was wearing a rough blue and black cloth coat, hung a bamboo hat commonly used by fishermen on the nails on the outer wall, stared at A Ling for a while, and slowly laughed and cursed, "Where did you go?!"

After being disturbed by him, many people suddenly appeared in the village, and the village, which seemed to be quite empty before, suddenly became lively.

Xie Yin twitched the corner of his mouth, dare to admit that this was all made up by their own imagination.
