Chapter 16 Throwing corpses in the wilderness
Fortunately, the heavy snow had stopped, otherwise Yu Zhi's carriage would have been even more bumpy.
Yu Zhi remembered that there was a mountain temple not far outside Kyoto. There used to be many villages nearby, but I don’t know when the people in this village began to move to farther places. As a result, the mountain temple became abandoned.
Already.
This road happened to lead to Dawen Academy, so he remembered it clearly after going back and forth several times.
Squeak! Then there was a bang, and a lot of vermilion paint fell off the broken wooden door, and it fell to the ground when touched.
Yu Zhi saw that the Buddha statues enshrined in the temple were incomplete and covered with weeds and rags. There were scattered debris everywhere in the temple, and a large hole leaked out of the roof. The wind and snow fell there, and there were them in many places.
snow.
"What a dilapidated mountain temple." Yu Zhi admired. He was extremely satisfied with this place. It was a dark, windy and murderous night, and the place where corpses were dumped in the countryside of the deserted temple. Besides, Baili was not a corpse, so this situation
Jing actually looked up to him a little bit.
Ye Qinghuan carried Bai Li in and put it on the table where the incense burner was placed. It was neither too long nor too short, just the length of Bai Li's height. Because of the cold, Bai Li also shivered a little. Seeing his eyelids moving slightly, Ye Qinghuan was shocked again.
Bai Li was knocked unconscious with one palm.
"Brother Xiaoyu, is this really okay? He is only twelve years old." Qiu Ruoruo is a girl after all. Seeing Bai Li like this, her heart felt soft and touched.
Yu Zhi showed a harmless and innocent expression, as if everything just now was not his idea. "This little guy is very evil-minded. Du Ankang injured Qing Huan, so he always wants to get some interest back."
Qiu Ruoruo recalled Ye Qinghuan's pale face and red blood when she returned to Qiu Mansion, and the softness in her heart disappeared.
After walking out of the mountain temple, Yu Zhi seemed to remember something and ran back. After a burst of fire flashed in the temple, Yu Zhi walked out with a smile.
Qiu Ruoruo asked him, but he didn't say anything, just waiting to watch the show tomorrow.
Yu Zhi saw that the sky had turned white and thought: "I can't go back to Kyoto tonight." At this moment, Yu Zhi suddenly saw the Bai family flag on the front side of the carriage roof, with black silk thread on the white background.
There is a big word "白" embroidered on it.
Qiu Ruoruo was shocked when she saw Yu Zhi's expression was wrong. They actually forgot about this. This was the Bai family's carriage, so the soldiers on duty must have discovered it when they left the city.
"The person on duty is one of the hundreds of households under my father's command. Since he let us out of the city, he must not want to take care of this matter. We will just hammer it out again when the time comes." At this time, Qiu Ruoruo is calmer than usual,
Show a calm demeanor in every big event.
Yu Zhi knew that this was something he had developed since childhood. The Qiu family was even more harsh on Qiu Ruoruo than Li Qingru was on him. Therefore, Qiu Ruoruo was quick-thinking and calm.
"If they know that the young master of the Bai family is in the carriage..." Yu Zhi said.
Qiu Ruoruo said immediately: "They won't know. If they know, dad will not let them have an easy time in order to protect me."
Ye Qinghuan folded the flag of the Bai family, and Yu Zhi continued to drive the carriage away from Kyoto.
In Qiu Ruoruo's view, this is not a big deal. Without solid evidence, everything is in vain, just like Ye Qinghuan was beaten in the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and Yu Zhi disappeared in the Prince Zhao's House. The Great Chu Dynasty is a people who talk about evidence.
In this place, the common people are like this, but the princes and nobles are even more so.
After some time, Qiu Ruoruo could see the appearance of Tiandao Mountain from the car window. From a close distance, Tiandao Mountain, which was only a hundred feet tall, was indeed much more majestic. It was much stronger than the small hill seen from the Kyoto city wall.
many.
"Where are we going?" Qiu Ruoruo shouted loudly. The sound of the carriage was deafening. If Qiu Ruoruo hadn't been so loud, she wouldn't have been able to hear her voice.
Yu Zhi drove the carriage excitedly and responded: "It's almost there. You'll know when we get there."
At the fork in the road, one leads to Tiandao Mountain, and the other is a quiet path that Qiu Ruoruo has never walked through before and doesn't know where it leads. Yu Zhi drove to that path without hesitation, as if he had been there many times
, the carriage did not slow down because of the unfamiliar road.
After bumping for a while, Yu Zhi stopped the carriage and saw a forest in front of him, which seemed to have reached the end. Yu Zhi jumped off the carriage and approached the woods, pushing aside the dense grass left and right, only to see a very small path.
Only one person is allowed to pass.
Ye Qinghuan followed and seemed to come often. Only Qiu Ruoruo looked confused and didn't know what kind of trick Yu Zhi was up to.
The path was quite steep, and there were overgrown weeds on the roadside, and there were many unruly branches that caught Qiu Ruoruo's velvet robe from time to time. Fortunately, Ye Qinghuan walked behind and helped Qiu Ruoruo clean up.
"Qiuqiu, this is our secret base." Yu Zhi whispered. Even though there were only three of them in this empty and remote forest, Yu Zhi seemed to be afraid that others would hear it. "If you can't find me in the future,
, you can come here.”
The road was winding and we walked for some time. At this moment, the sky was completely white. The morning light shone through the not dense forest and shone on the three of them, making people feel a little warm.
Behind the forest was a large open space with many tree stumps on the ground. On one side of the tree stumps were two not-so-tall wooden houses, which were obviously carefully taken care of by someone. The feeling of sudden enlightenment made the tired Qiu Ruoruo feel refreshed.
What shocked Qiu Ruoruo the most was the towering giant tree standing more than ten meters away from the wooden house. It was nearly ten meters high. It can be imagined that this cypress tree has experienced hundreds of years.
"Come on, it took me half a year to take care of this." Yu Zhi said quite proudly.
Qiu Ruoruo glanced at Yu Zhi enviously, still immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of her.
There is a stream in front of the wooden house. Because it is winter, the water flow is not too much, and many fish are hiding. On the other side of the stream is the back mountain of Tiandao Mountain. The place where Yu Zhi and others are standing is close to Tiandao.
Halfway up the mountain.
The heavy snow that has been falling continuously for several days has left the ground covered with snow. The three of them stepped on the snow and made a soft sound, which sounded extremely comfortable.
Ye Qinghuan cleared a small piece of open space and lit a fire, while Yu Zhi brought a few sweet potatoes and a jar of wine from the wooden house. It was obvious at a glance that Yu Zhi had been running this place for a long time, and he even had to eat
All ready.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you only told me about this wonderful place now." The morning light broke through the clouds and fell on Qiu Ruoruo. At this moment, she was like a fairy, and her skin that could be broken by a blow made people feel a little bit...
Intoxicated.
Yu Zhi thought to himself, the little girl has grown up after all, and in a few years she will become a bewitching beauty.
Yu Zhi didn't respond. He was busy going back and forth. He threw the sweet potatoes into the fire and roasted them. He also warmed a pot of wine. He also took out a lot of dried fruits and the aroma was overflowing after taking a bite.
On weekdays, only he and Ye Qinghuan came often, and only two benches were made. Simply, Yu Zhi brought a stone for himself, which was of the right height.
"This is peach blossom wine. I finally got it from Professor Murong. There were three pots, but my aunt took away two pots. Fortunately, I was clever enough to save the remaining ones." Yu Zhi's plain words were full of endless meaning.
The tone of his voice was enough to make Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan feel how "fighting of wits and courage" Yu Zhi was asking the academy to do.
The wine was getting warm. Yu Zhi poured it for the two of them. He was always very generous.
After warming their bodies, the aroma of wine and peach blossoms also echoed in the three people's mouths. The good thing about this peach blossom brew is that the aroma of wine does not leak out, and the fragrance is saved.
"Qiuqiu, after the mission's matter is settled, why not follow Brother Xiaoyu to Jiangnan for a walk, okay?"
Qiu Ruoruo didn't understand why Yu Zhi suddenly said this. Maybe he just wanted to go to Jiangnan. "If Brother Xiaoyu wants to go, I will accompany you. I'm afraid the prison hospital will never let you go."
Yu Zhi was embarrassed, and then said in a very firm tone: "Auntie, it shouldn't happen this time."
"Then, where is that lady?" Qiu Ruoruo asked jokingly, "Brother Xiaoyu, don't you want to find that lady? Oh, it's all in vain that I still want to help Brother Xiaoyu find a good marriage and promote a good marriage.
Marriage in an excerpt of a play."
Before Yu Zhi could speak, he heard Ye Qinghuan's voice, "Which lady is she from?"
The other two people were shocked. It was rare for Ye Qinghuan to open his mouth and bring up such interest. As expected, everyone has the desire to gossip, and it was burning brightly.
Qiu Ruoruo couldn't help but laugh, and the sweet potato in the fire also overflowed with fragrance. Qiu Ruoruo took a bite and felt that the taste was much better than those delicacies in Baiwei Curie.
"Brother Xiaoyu, does the prison prison know about this place?" Qiu Ruoruo asked.
Yu Zhi said flatly: "You must not tell her, otherwise how could you two drink the peach blossom wine taught by Murong? Besides, there are only the three of us in this place, and I don't want to bring anyone else here."
Qiu Ruoruo felt warm in her heart and nodded vigorously. She looked at Yu Zhi. Although the man opposite him had the reputation of being a shameful person, Qiu Ruoruo would always regard him as her brother. It was innocent and refreshing.
There are also some little scoundrels. These beautiful things are hidden by him under the infamous reputation of asking for shame, and also under his deliberate disguise.
Seeing Qiu Ruoruo in a daze, Yu Zhi said: "Eat quickly, after rest, we have to visit the mission. Qing Huan, too, I will need your help later. The guys on the grassland may not be what they are.
You are so kind-hearted that you have set your sights on my Qiuqiu, Qinghuan, you can't hold back."
Ye Qinghuan ate and sipped the peach blossom stuffing, and responded loudly: "Of course, I will beat him till his head is bloody. Ruoruo's idea is also something they can do, right?"
After saying that, he fell down and drank all the peach blossom wine in the wine glass.
Qiu Ruoruo was startled, she had never seen Ye Qinghuan like this before, and said blankly: "Is Brother Ye drunk?"
Yu Zhi laughed loudly, "It's true. This guy pours wine as soon as he touches it."
Qiu Ruoruo also laughed. Ye Qinghuan's appearance really refreshed her seriousness. She had always thought that Ye Qinghuan was aloof and aloof, but she didn't expect to be such a "hot-tempered person".
