Shen Yang looked obedient and listened attentively.

The little girl is so sweet and soft, and the others who have known the news for a long time wish they could open eight of their mouths to gossip about her.

Xie Yanchuan didn't know when he came up behind Shen Yang, found a clean wall to lean against, and crossed his arms across his chest.

He looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, and his eyes were empty.

Among the chattering crowd, Shen Yang briefly summarized the problems of Qifeng Academy.

It turns out that there is an iron mine outside Mingwu City, and the president of the academy mines it privately, making weapons at high prices and selling them to the army. The iron ore is in the bamboo forest behind the academy.

In order to deceive others, he specially built an academy, hoping to cover up the noise of making weapons with the sound of students reading loudly.

As for the lost students, he secretly took them into the iron mines to work as coolies. I heard that Qifeng Academy loses students every year.

In the past, the dean used money to keep his parents' mouths shut, but I don't know what happened this year. The weapons business was good, but the iron ore mining was not available.

He took a desperate risk and kidnapped several students in a short period of time, only to be exposed.

The girl selling fragrant powder threw the melon seed peels into a paper bag aside and cleaned her hands. "When the Yamen found the back mountain, they heard that there was a mass grave with lots of bones inside. The director didn't know how many evil things he had done." Woolen cloth."

The seller of sugar paintings echoed, "I've heard about this too. The bamboo forest next to the mass grave is more lush than other places. Human flesh is used as nutrients."

"But fortunately, the county magistrate solved the case, and the good days of this dean have come to an end."

"Let's just say it's Queen Qiu who wants to kill her."

"It's harmful. I'll kill you ten times or eight times but you won't be able to understand my hatred."

…

Shen Yang suddenly thought of the bamboo forest in the back hill of Taohua Village.

That place has been haunted all year round. Could it be related to the iron mine? The little girl turned her head and looked at Xie Yanchuan.

Mr. Xie didn't receive the signal and was still in a trance.

She handed out the melon seeds in her hand, "Now that the iron ore has been discovered, what about the students who were lost before? Have they been found?"

The little girl's tone was a little anxious, "I have a friend who also goes to Qifeng Academy. After he went missing, his family became extremely anxious."

The Shen family has always paid attention to Dr. Cheng. If he goes back, the village will definitely know.

As soon as Shen Yang opened his mouth, the vendors looked at him with different eyes and sighed.

"Everyone alive has been found."

These words were so cruel that Shen Yang frowned. The girl selling the powder couldn't bear to see it and patted Shen Yang on the shoulder.

"Go back and talk to your friend's parents. Don't wait any longer."

The topic was too heavy, and the vendors who were still gathering returned to their seats.

Shen Yang squatted on the spot, Xie Yanchuan's shadow covered the girl's back, and his voice was gentle and soft.

"If there is fate, we will meet each other in the future, and we will be happy, so relax."

Xie Yanchuan's words seemed to have magic power.

Shen Yang followed him to the garment shop in confusion, where he had his own embroidery room and could also do odd jobs.

When she saw an acquaintance coming, the landlady greeted her personally.

Xie Yanchuan handed over the baggage in his hand. When he was in the capital, he would occasionally accompany his mother to make clothes, and he also knew some of the processes involved.

After placing the deposit, the lady boss went to the back and asked the embroiderer to come over and measure the size.

A familiar little sister brought tea and cakes, and Xie Yanchuan poured a glass of warm water and pushed it to Shen Yang.

Just in time to meet the little girl's suspicious gaze, Xie Yanchuan paused, his expression a little unnatural.

"What's wrong."

There was nothing wrong with that cold face.

Shen Yang suddenly came over, their noses were nose to nose, "Xie Yanchuan!"

The breath of speaking hit Xie Yanchuan's face, and the young man let out an unclear hum.

Shen Yang touched the spoon on the pastry plate and poked it near Xie Yanchuan's neck. She stared at him eagerly.

"Do you know the inside story about Qifeng Academy?"

From yesterday's announcement that Cheng Yu would come back soon to today's comfort, Xie Yanchuan revealed that something was wrong at every turn.

Shen Yang is just slow to react, but he is not stupid.

Xie Yanchuan almost said on his face that if I have any questions, come and ask me.

He swallowed, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hit the bottom of his eyelids, and said nothing.

Water stains dripping from the spoon.

Just when Shen Yang was about to speak, the landlady who came out with the embroiderer covered half of her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyebrows curled up in a smile.

"Hey, what are you two doing? Does the young master have sand in his eyes?"

They are all milk dolls.

The landlady didn't think much about it.

Shen Yang's movements were interrupted and he had no motivation to continue.

She returned to her seat and smiled at the landlady, "No, I'm just joking."

It's not troublesome to simply measure the size of your wrist with a hand cover.

Xie Yanchuan brought a lot of rabbit skins, which might not be enough to make a coat.

However, the embroiderer thought that she could add some cotton and sew a waistcoat for the little girl, all made of white rabbits.

It will not only look good when worn in winter, but also feel soft.

Shen Yang did not refuse and took the measurements of his shoulders and waist.

I decided to pick it up in two days and left the clothing store.

Shen Yang hasn't bought the paint yet. She and Xie Yanchuan are working alone, and the truck is with her eldest brother and the others.

I guess I'll have to ask the shopkeeper to deliver it to the city gate in a while.

The little girl was lost in thought and said nothing. She walked in front alone, with Xie Yanchuan one step behind.

In his eyes, Shen Yang was sulking.

Young Master Xie pursed his lips, his black gauze sleeves hanging at his sides. He took two quick steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Yang.

"Yangyang, Qifeng Academy——"

"This is the place——"

They both spoke at the same time, and Shen Yang pointed to the shop at hand, indicating that this was where he bought the last time.

Xie Yanchuan's voice was suppressed, and she turned to look over, "What's wrong with Qifeng Academy?"

Xie Yanchuan did not explain, but looked seriously into Shen Yang's eyes, "Cheng Yu will be fine."

Just treat some comfort as good intentions.

Shen Yang nodded. He bought a lot of paint, plus the coating, there were more than ten barrels.

Knowing that the goods had to be delivered to the city gate, the shopkeeper waved his hand and said that there was no need to bother, and they would deliver the goods directly to your door.

It's easy to do things if you have money.

No need to burden myself, Shen Yang was at ease and left the address of Taohua Village.

She paid the deposit and arranged a delivery time with the shopkeeper.

It's still early to come out.

Shen Qin and the others didn't know where they were going. Shen Yang stood on the street and walked around twice.

She put her hands behind her back and said, "Xie Yanchuan, would you like to go to Qifeng Academy?"

After all, she was still worried if she didn't see it with her own eyes.

Xie Yanchuan was used to it, and he checked the direction and said, "The academy is far from the street. Let's rent a carriage first."

Initially, looking at Xie Yanchuan's attitude, Shen Yang thought he would be rejected.

She followed behind Xie Yanchuan, her short legs flapping rapidly.

"Xie Yanchuan, you are so kind."

Cheng Yu's disappearance was a worry for Shen Yang. The eldest brother and the others kept asking about Dr. Cheng's whereabouts even though they didn't talk about it.

Now that he finally got some news, Shen Yang had to read it before giving up.
