Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 48
After coming down from Lingze Mountain and returning to Xitan Village, Bai Sanxiu's face was still red.Murong Ke had already been waiting in the village, and when he saw her, he was surprised: "What's wrong with your face?"

"...It's cold in the mountains, it's blowing." She knew that if he didn't tease her, his surname would not be Murong.

"Blowing is also blowing white, how can blowing red be sweating."

"Fengchi, night sweat, do you understand!"

Li Quan finally opened his mouth to help her out: "How?"

"Is it worth talking about business as soon as we come up? I brought your clothes here for you, let's change into clean ones first." Murong Ke muttered like an old woman, "Look at the muddy bodies of you two, thank you for being able to bear it till now." .”

So Bai Sanxiu and Li Yan went to wash and wash up separately, so that she had a chance to calm down her hot cheeks.When she was woken up by birdsong this morning, she found that she was not only leaning on Li Guan's shoulder, but also drool three thousand feet from her sleep, all falling on his jacket.Li Quan, on the other hand, didn't sleep all night, closed his eyes and rested his mind, feeling that she woke up, and asked her with concern, is her neck okay?
Alas, it's not her neck that's the problem!
After changing his clothes and leaving the house, Li Quan was already dressed and was eating the steamed buns and pickles prepared by Qin.Seeing this, Bai Sanxiu went into the kitchen again, and after a while brought out two bowls of ginger soup, and handed Li Quan a bowl, "Si Zhi, drink some too, to drive away the cold."

Li Quan took it and drank it down.After the two had finished eating, Murong Ke began to talk about his investigation results: "According to what the villagers said, I went to Fengyifang and found an old charcoal seller. He said that he gave the girl to a couple surnamed Sun. Later, the family moved When I went to Datongfang, I rushed to ask again, and the girl had already married to the east of the city. Her husband’s house was easy to find, but it was said that the girl went back to her natal family to visit relatives a few days ago.”

"Master Murong is saying that the girl claimed to go back to her mother's house, but she didn't go back, and now she doesn't know where she went?"

"Yes, I had someone notify the Sun family. When I went out of the city to look for you in the morning, the two families had already reported to the authorities. In fact, it was a deformity, and it was just a six-toed. As for the young woman in the mountain temple, selling charcoal Weng also saw one, and I drew it according to his description."

When Murong Ke unfolded the scroll, Bai Sanxiu couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.She quickly took out the four portraits painted by Li Guan and put them together with that painting. In contrast, Murong Ke was also very surprised.Because there is a woman in the four portraits, with a mole on the eye, which is obviously the same person as Murong Ke's painting.

Next to the four portraits painted by Li Quan, the approximate year when the woman appeared in the villagers' memory is also marked, and the most recent one is more than ten years ago.These four people all have a very common square and round face shape, but they are different in fat and thin, and they also have different facial features.For a while, I couldn't see why, but Bai Sanxiu always felt that something was weird.

After finishing the painting yesterday, Li Quan and Bai Sanxiu hurried up the mountain and didn't have time to look at it. At this time, he carefully observed the four paintings, thinking deeply.After a long time, he said: "I have already made an agreement with the villagers, and ask them to find a few people to enter the mountain and clear the road to the mountain temple. Lao Mu, you can go with them."

After all, being a close friend for many years, Murong Ke knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard it. "It's better to hold the old lady Miaozhu for you, isn't it?"

"Correct."

Bai Sanxiu was at a loss, "What is Si Zhi going to do?"

"You go to the temple with me and search for it."

Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and said, "I guessed that you were going to do this. Then, I brought your mahogany knife for you too."
