As soon as Jiang Xixi returned to Xin'an Mansion, he went straight to the file room, opened the boxes sorted by year, picked up the blue files inside, and flipped through them carefully.
It contains the files of all the cases that have occurred in Xin'an since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are about 20 boxes alone, so it is by no means easy to consult.
It wasn't until the sunset that she finally found what she was looking for, and she couldn't help but feel happy and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
She just wanted to read the case word by word, but found that she didn't recognize a few big characters, and she could only barely see that this case happened near Bulaotun and was a missing case.
Jiang Xixi pinched his chin, "What did the adults say when sorting out the case files?"
The man lost money?
So a man goes out of the city, and then he can't find anyone again?
She scratched her head and looked at the dense handwriting on the case file, but she couldn't see anything more.
The door of the dossier room was suddenly pushed open, startling Jiang Xixi, who was concentrating on guessing the words, she squinted and found Xun'er standing at the door, looking at herself happily, "Sister Xi, I haven't seen you since I came back from the school, it turns out that you are hiding here, saying, did you deliberately play with Xun'er to hide the cat." ” Jiang Xixi's heart suddenly lit up when she heard the word school, and she beckoned to Xun'er, "Come here, my sister is going to test you today, and see if you have listened to Mr.
Lecturing well." ” "Test me?"
Xun'er pouted dissatisfiedly, "When is my sister the same as my father, I can't see me relaxed for a while, as soon as I go home, I am reading and writing, and now I even have exams, I knew that I would go to Xiuzhuang to find my right ear to play chess, and he and Yan Niang will not bother me with their studies." ” Jiang Xixi couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he saw what he said, but he still pretended to be serious on the surface, and put the case on Xun'er's lap, "Well, it's these words, if you read them out and listen to them with your sister, if you know everything, I will have a reward." ” Hearing the word reward, Xun'er's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Xixi, "Is it okay for Sugar Dun'er?"
” "It's a deal."
Xun'er had a sweet smile on his face, pointed at the words on the case file with his fingers, and read them one by one, he read intermittently, without breaking sentences, and when he encountered a word that he couldn't remember for a while, he would pause, and he would draw it in the palm of his hand for a long time before he even guessed it.
But Jiang Xixi still understood the cause and effect of the whole case, it is about the second year of Tianping Xingguo, it has been eight years since now, in March of that year, there was a man named Li Meng who left home in the afternoon and never came back, the family thought he was in the casino, so he didn't go out to find someone, but for three days, Li Meng never went back, the family was anxious, so they sent people everywhere to look for him, but the people in the casino said that he only stayed here for one day, and left after losing a lot of silver, as for where he went later, they don't know.
Li Meng's family panicked and hurriedly reported to the government, and the government posted a notice to look for the person, but it was not until a month later that someone came to report the case, and the man said that he had gone to another place, and after returning to the city, he saw the notice and knew that he had met the person in the portrait outside the city.
The man who reported to the official was a timber merchant, and a month ago he went to Luoyang to transport a batch of timber, and it was raining in the sky that day, and he sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the countryside, but at this moment, he saw a man walking on the muddy path in despair, the man had no backpack, but he was holding a wine bag in his hand, and a straight road was crooked by him.
The vendor hurriedly stopped the driver and shouted at the man, "Hey, brother, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, where are you going, do you want me to give you a ride?"
But the man waved his hand at him, staggered forward step by step, bypassed a mountain bag, and the man was gone.
When the merchant came back from Luoyang, he found that the man he had met a month ago had been painted on the notice of the government, so he hurriedly came to report to the official.
Later, the government sent people to look for a long time where the two met, but they still didn't find any trace of the man, so they had to give up, everyone thought that Li Meng ran away from home because he lost money and was embarrassed to face his family.
According to the vendor, he was drunk and delirious, and it is possible that he fell into a ravine or river and lost his trace.
Xun'er finished reading it easily, and stretched out her palm, "Sorry for my sister, what about Sugar Dun'er?"
” Jiang Xixi pointed to the three words on the file, "These three words are 'Bulaotun', right?"
” Xun'er nodded, "Didn't I tell you?"
That man met Li Meng near Bulaotun, okay, my sister has to talk about it, now you can buy me candy. ” When Yan Niang returned to Jihong Embroidery Village, the green onion fried waist slice in the right ear had just come out of the pot, and the waist flower that was burned into a roll of hot oil was spread on a layer of green and tender shallots, and the oil was steaming, which looked very attractive.
He knew that Yan Niang didn't eat greasy, so he put the dish next to him and served her a bowl of gruel, so he smashed his mouth and feasted on it.
After swallowing a few pieces of meat in a row, he remembered and asked her, "Is there anything to be gained by going out today?"
But I found the brute. ” Yan Niang shrugged, "No, I went all over the foot of the mountain, but I didn't find it, it was hidden, and it was hidden deeply, I didn't even smell it." ” He picked up a piece of meat in his right ear and stuffed it into his mouth, "Strange, where can it go?"
” "I didn't find the mole, but I did find another one, which may have something to do with the beast."
"What?"
Yan Niang held her cheeks, and a pair of bright eyes looked behind her right ear, "Do you know how the earth mole was born?"
” In his right ear, he swallowed another piece of meat, "The big ones are the little ones." ” Yan Niang sneered, "Zhuolu battled, with countless casualties, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou killed the sky darkly, and the blood flowed like a river."
Later, Chiyou was defeated, beheaded by the Yellow Emperor, and beheaded and buried, and Chiyou's head turned into a blood maple forest, shading the soldiers who died in the Jiuli tribe.
Seven hundred and forty-nine days later, a goat with four horns rushed out of the maple forest, which was the earth mole, and some people said that it was transformed by the blood of Chiyou, and it was a divine beast.
But they guessed wrong, the earth mole is not a divine beast, but a fierce beast that loves to eat the essence and blood of virgins, so after doing evil in all directions, he was driven to the underworld by the Yellow Emperor with Xuanyuan. ” The right ear finally put down the chopsticks, "Wait, is that maple forest actually a blood maple forest?"
” Yan Niang nodded, she took a sip of porridge and moistened her throat, "However, the Blood Maple Forest alone is not enough to attract the Earth Mole, I also said that it was born in the corpses of the soldiers killed in the Jiuli Tribe, so in addition to the Blood Maple Forest, there must also be a place where the corpse is extremely heavy to attract the Earth Mole to appear and summon it from the Infernal Hell." ”
