Chapter 237 No.20 Three cases, the white fox pulls the grinder
When I heard Wang Xiaoran say that I can file a follow-up case with him, I took a deep breath, no matter what, I must cheer up.

I must save Mai Xiaorou too.

So I asked Wang Xiaoran on the phone what the follow-up case was like.

Wang Xiaoran didn't go into details with me on the phone, but only told me and Nangong Yuzhang to hurry over.

After I hung up the phone, I knocked on the door of Nangong Yuzhang's room. After knocking a few times, I heard her say to me: "I heard everything, you go downstairs and wait for me, I will change my clothes!"

change clothes?I really don't know what the hell this Nangong Xiong is doing.

I went downstairs and waited for about 10 minutes before Nangong Yuzhang slowly came out of the unit building. She changed back to her ancient clothes. The case is so inconvenient.

Nangong Xiong let out a "hum" and said, "What I wear is my business, and you should take care of it?"

Seeing that Nangong Xiong's temper has come up, I won't say any more.

When we arrived at Tangfu Teahouse, we found Wang Xiaoran was waiting for us at the door of the teahouse. Seeing Nangong Yuzhang wearing ancient costumes, Wang Xiaoran also took a few more glances and said with a smile: "Daoist Nangong looks like a fairy descending to earth in ancient costumes." Generally speaking, it's really beautiful."

Nangong Xiong looked at me and said with a "hum": "It's a pity that some people think that my clothes are in the way."

I didn't speak, but Wang Xiaoran smiled and said: "This case is still in the Taihang Mountains in North China. The place we are going this time is called Nianzigou. There are only seven or eight households in that village."

Nianzigou?
I asked Wang Xiaoran whether the Nianzigou was related to one of the four-color sky foxes, white, red, and purple.

Wang Xiaoran said: "It's the white fox. Let's get in the car and drive on the road. I will talk to you slowly on the way."

As soon as Wang Xiaoran said that, he led Nangong Xiong and I into a black car.

Wang Xiaoran drove the car himself, and I was the co-pilot, while Nangong Xiong closed his eyes and rested in the back row.

After driving for a while, Wang Xiaoran told me such a story.

The story happened at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty. At that time, the current situation was turbulent, the whole country was at war for years, and the people suffered unspeakably.

Many people dragged their families to hide in the mountains in order to avoid the flames of war.

The protagonist of the story is Zhao Yinglai, a wealthy businessman from Shanxi, who fled to Nianzigou with his family because he offended the officials.

There are seven people in their family, his parents, wife, and three children, two girls and one boy.

At that time, Nianzigou had no name, but was just a deep ravine. Zhao Yinglai's family hid in the ravine to rest when they were tired from running. They were tired and hungry at the time, so they found some wild jujubes on the nearby mountain.

When they were eating wild jujubes, they found a wisp of cooking smoke rising from the ravine. They have been living on wild jujubes these days, and they have long forgotten the taste of rice noodles. Seeing the wisp of cooking smoke, they seemed to smell the delicious The taste of steamed buns and millet porridge.

Although Zhao Yinglai's family was fleeing, when they fled, they brought a lot of money in their pockets, and they wanted to exchange the money for some food.

The people living in the deep mountains should not doubt that they are the ones who have been sued by the lawsuit. They only think that they are escaping the war, so they should be able to get away with it.

Zhao Yinglai's family of seven continued to walk into the ravine. After walking for more than two miles, they found a fenced yard, and the cooking smoke came from a house in that yard.

And there is a very small roller in the yard, the roller is about the size of a person's arms, and the height is only half a foot high.

And the one pulling the stone on the grinding plate to turn it is a little white fox.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yinglai's family was stunned. They had never seen a fox pulling a millstone, even if it was just a small millstone!

And after the little fox found Zhao Yinglai's family, he seemed to be frightened, broke free from the rope he was holding on to the stone, and ran into the house in a hurry.

After a while, a young man in white came out of the room. He looked handsome, like a scholar.

After seeing Zhao Yinglai's family, the young man in white asked them what they were doing here.

Zhao Yinglai hurriedly told the young master what he had thought up in advance, and then said: "We just passed by here to escape from danger. We have some money on us. I want to exchange some food from you. I don't know if it is convenient."

The young man in white smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. My house is deep in the mountains. I farm by myself and I am self-sufficient. I still have no shortage of food."

Saying that, the young man in white invited Zhao Yinglai's family to the house.

Zhao Yinglai curiously asked the young man in white what happened when he saw a fox pulling a small millstone in the yard just now.

The young man in white said that he raised the fox, he was very obedient, and often did housework for him, but he would hide himself when a stranger came to the house.

Although Zhao Yinglai felt curious, he didn't continue to ask, because what he cared about most was food.

The young man in white asked Zhao Yinglai and his family to wait in the house for a while, and then he brought over a lot of steamed buns and millet porridge.

Zhao Yinglai was very curious. At that time, there were very few white flour buns. Even in a rich family like his, they usually steamed white flour with sorghum noodles and rice noodles to make steamed buns. Pure white flour was rarely used, but the steamed buns he ate now It is pure white flour.

And there are many more on the table in front of him.

Zhao Yinglai asked the young man in white where he got these white noodles.

The young man in white said that he grew them all by himself.

The young man in white probably hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he was very hospitable, so he left Zhao Yinglai and his family to live here.

Zhao Yinglai's family was tired from running around for days, and felt that it was safe in the deep mountains, so they accepted the kindness of the young man in white to stay here.

It was only at this time that Zhao Yinglai asked about the young man in white——Bai He.

At night, when Zhao Ying woke up at night, he found that the millstone in the yard was turning again. He looked carefully and found that the little white fox pulling the mill had returned. It is big, but the weight seems to be not small, and the wheat is still ground into flour.

Then the little white fox stood up unexpectedly, and picked up a small sieve to separate the flour from the chaff.

Then put the flour into a bag.

Then it continued to pull the mill, and Zhao Yinglai discovered that the little white fox did not put wheat on the small mill, but a lot of wheat appeared on the mill out of thin air, and the little white fox continued to pull the mill, and then produced new flour Come.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yinglai understood that the little roller was a treasure, a treasure that could grind white flour infinitely.

But Zhao Yinglai didn't have evil thoughts, because he felt that the one who could use this treasure must not be an ordinary person, maybe the boy in white during the day was a fairy.

And the little fox full of aura is the fairy pet raised by the gods.

After having such an idea, Zhao Yinglai paid extra respect to the young man in white in the days to come.

Zhao Yinglai and others lived here for more than a month. This day, the young man in white said to Zhao Ying that since they like to live here, they should build a house here, and he will give half of his own land to Zhao Yinglai to plant. , Let them settle down here.

Zhao Yinglai also quickly agreed.

Therefore, Nianzigou Village gradually came into existence.

Wang Xiaoran's story suddenly stopped at this point, and I was a little curious: "This is gone, and then, what about the white-clothed boy, and that magical little roller and little white fox?"

Wang Xiaoran said: "I found these from a book dug out of an ancient tomb in Nianzigou Village, and the story is recorded here. If you ask me, I don't know anything about it."

"But I can tell you something else!"

While driving, Wang Xiaoran didn't forget to show off.

I asked him: "If you have anything, just tell us directly, don't keep it secret."

Only then did Wang Xiaoran continue to say: "I have seen the small mill in the story that continuously grinds out white flour in another ancient book."

I am curious about ancient books.

Before Wang Xiaoran could speak, Nangong Xiong closed his eyes in the back seat and said, "It appeared in the "Qingzhi Tianshu". Flour for human consumption!"

"And Yun Tiannian is the treasure of the Shanbaihu clan among the Four Heavenly Foxes in Qingqiu!"

I am curious to ask what is "Blue Paper Book from Heaven"?
Wang Xiaoran said: "A long time ago, there was a heavenly book written by a puppet master of Taoism. Ordinary people read the heavenly book as just a piece of green paper, but he saw a lot of Taoism, legends, and even treasure maps from the heavenly book. He I wrote all the things I saw into a book and named it "The Book of the Blue Paper."

"That book is very famous, but it's a pity that the ascetic's life was very short. The book stayed, but the others disappeared. No one even knew his name."

Blue paper book!

I suddenly became interested in that heavenly book.

At this time, I suddenly had a feeling that the thing Wang Xiaoran was looking for could not be the heavenly book, right?
Thinking of this, I asked Wang Xiaoran if it was him?

He froze for a moment, then smiled at me and said, "You will know later!"

I'm sure that even if what Wang Xiaoran wants to find is not the blue paper heavenly book, it must be related to that day's book.

Wang Xiaoran didn't say anything now, and I didn't continue to ask, but said to Wang Xiaoran jokingly: "You just said that you found this story from an ancient tomb in Nianzigou, I didn't expect you to be a part-time tomb robber! "

Wang Xiaoran said with a smile: "I was just passing by, and I happened to find that tomb, and then I went in on a whim, and I found something else!"

Nangong Xiong said in the back seat: "You should be going for those ancient tombs. As for why you went to find that ancient tomb, there should be some other clues, and that clue let you know that the ancient tomb There’s news here, you definitely didn’t happen to be passing by!”

I have the same thought as Nangong Xiong.

Wang Xiaoran smiled and said: "It seems that I can't hide it from you two smart people, then I will tell you this clue!"
