Outside, the sun sets and the moon rises, and so it goes for another two days.
Bai Zhi saw Shen Yanchu boil the hunted pheasant into meat porridge, then put it into a small bowl and stirred it with a spoon until the temperature was moderate.
"She knows clearly that you made this porridge, so she won't be able to swallow it. Why do you make it again?" Bai Zhi took the porridge bowl.
Shen Yanchu: "The porridge this time tastes sweet, which is your usual method. He won't recognize it."
Bai Zhi held the bowl: "Although I don't know what's going on between you two, but there is some misunderstanding, so it's better to talk it out."
Shen Yanchu shook his head: "I have completely forgotten my past life and cannot remember many things clearly. Maybe I will leave after he recovers."
"Where do you plan to go, brother Shen?"
"Wulu Mountain." Shen Yanchu said calmly, "It's time to go back."
In the room, Liu Ruyan looked at the two black jade pieces hanging by the bedside, slowly spinning in the breeze.
Two identical pieces of black jade, with Yaizhu engraved on them.
As far as she knew, only the Lord of Cang Ming Sect could wear the jade pendant, and Shen Yanchu had always been by her side, so how could he leave the jade pendant in Liujiazhuang.
The sun shines through the screen window and shines on the black jade, reflecting a warm color. She stares at the jade pendant on her head, and a beam of white light flashes in her eyes.
She immediately sat up and held the jade pendant that emitted white light in her palm.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was a scroll in Yaizhen's mouth.
Liu Ruyan took off another jade pendant and held it in her hand to compare it repeatedly.
——No, there is no scroll in the mouth of the black jade she picked up in Liujiazhuang, which means that this jade may be fake!
Thinking that this jade pendant was forged by the real murderer, making her mistakenly believe that Shen Yanchu was the mastermind behind the scenes, a stern look flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes.
In her previous life, she had been searching for clues to no avail, so she framed him for the crime!
She approached the window and looked in the direction of Liujiazhuang.
Not long after they left Zhuangzi, officers and soldiers searched Liujiazhuang. The bones of Uncle Quan and others were also transported to the city, and it was said that they would be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation.
If the search for the iron box yields no results, the imperial court will definitely issue an order to arrest Liu Ruyan.
When she is behind bars, how can she redress the injustice of the Liu family... No, she has to find a way to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
The next morning, Liu Ruyan walked out of the house facing the morning glow.
"Bai Zhi, you came just in time. It's time to set off."
Bai Zhi looked towards her and saw that she looked sluggish and her expression was not good: "This is your first serious illness and your body is still weak. It's better to rest for a few more days."
"It doesn't matter." She said with a smile, "I usually have a good foundation, but this is the first time I've been sick in so many years. I didn't expect that I couldn't afford to fall ill and slept for so long. Since I'm fine, it's better to get out of the valley as soon as possible."
Bai Zhi thought for a while: "Forget it, what are your plans next?"
Liu Ruyan raised her head slightly and looked at the warm winter sun in the distance, her eyes as if frozen.
"Uncle Quan and the others need an explanation."
Looking at her slender back, Bai Zhi sighed slowly and said solemnly: "The future is extremely dangerous, and Bai is willing to help you."
"Thank you." She nodded calmly.
"Ding, the plot character Bai Zhi has a loyalty value of 5, totaling 90."
Ye Xun promptly reminded: "Baizhi and the host have reached a consensus, and they will definitely help the host in the future."
"I trust him."
While Bai Zhi entered the room to pack her things, Liu Ruyan glanced at her torn clothes: "What clothes are there in the system mall?"
Ye Xun appeared, swiped the screen casually, and said with a proud smile: "I have a complete range of clothing here, all styles are available, which one does the host want?"
She took a look and saw that there were costumes for people of various statuses, which meant that she could disguise herself anytime and anywhere.
Looking further down, a black slim-fitting dark dress caught her attention.
——A few golden willow leaves are embroidered on the chest, and there is also a dark gold tassel tie in the middle of the waistband.
She exchanged this black dress and wore it, and her hair was tied up with a dark gold hairband.
As soon as Bai Zhi stepped out the door, she saw a slender figure standing in the small courtyard, sharp and heroic, like a sword made of steel tempered a hundred times.
When I got closer to her, I found that she was holding a small dagger and cutting half of the blackened willow branch into a slender shape.
Liu Ruyan is very good at craftsmanship. A seemingly ordinary willow branch instantly turned into a wooden hairpin in her hands.
The burnt part was shaped like a flying swallow and was inserted into her bun.
She raised her eyes and looked a little pale.
Finding that Bai Zhi was alone, she raised her voice and asked, "Where is Shen Yanchu?"
"Brother Shen left the valley last night and said he was going back to Wulu Mountain."
Liu Ruyan remained silent.
"He could sneak out of the valley by sneaking into the officer's boat, otherwise he wouldn't have left in such a hurry." Bai Zhi explained kindly, not wanting her to think that Brother Shen left without saying goodbye.
"Those who should leave will leave sooner or later." Liu Ruyan said absently, "Just leave."
"Before leaving, he also asked me to pass this to you." As she said that, Bai Zhi held out a scimitar.
"Han Yue." Liu Ruyan's eyes flickered as she touched the sword that had gone through many vicissitudes of life, and finally tied it to her back as if she had made up her mind.
Looking in the direction of Liujiazhuang from a distance, the north wind passed by and lifted a strand of black hair on her forehead, just like those years when Aye smiled and gently caressed her forehead.
"Let's go." She turned her face.
The two of them walked to the river. Liu Ruyan dragged a raft from the bottom of the tree. When Bai Zhi boarded the raft, she plunged the long pole straight into the water.
On the raft, the two of them were speechless. She held the long pole silently until a neighing sound echoed in the silent valley.
"Eh-er-"
A horse ran toward the shore. Its coat was as black as ink, its hooves were all white, and its mane was flying.
The horse looked at the raft that was getting further away, neighed, and jumped into the water. For a while, white waves splashed layer by layer, and the water splashed endlessly.
Liu Ruyan rowed towards it and called out: "Yebai!"
The horse broke through the water and landed firmly in the raft with a muffled sound.
She stretched out her hand to caress the horse and called to her lips: "Yebai, Liujiazhuang is gone, the scout camp is gone, they are all gone."
Yebai's black eyes were shining brightly, and he let out a mournful cry as if he could understand the words.
"Fortunately, you are here." Liu Ruyan hugged the horse's neck.
Ye Bai is the offspring of a war horse and a prairie wild horse. When she was born, she was weak and was expelled by the horses until she met her and brought her back.
By the river, the raft slowly came to the shore.
Liu Ruyan looked at the cornices and brackets on the other side that she could no longer see clearly. She suddenly lifted up her clothes, faced the vast river, and knelt down.
Liujiazhuang is the last pure land in her heart and her only bond.
Now she lives on in the world, all she wants is to give them an explanation.
Liu Ruyan bowed her head to the ground.
This bow made her feel ashamed of her father's upbringing.
Bowing down and worshiping again is a gift from Uncle Quan for his teachings.
Finally, there are ten soldiers from the scout battalion who were born to serve their country, but after their death, they are burdened with eternal infamy.
