On the dirt road on the outskirts of Yuanjiang County, Yi Shuyuan was walking with his fan waving, while Hui Mian was lying on his shoulder looking very interested.

"Sir, don't we say goodbye to Kuonan Mountain God and Senior Song? And the City God of Yuanjiang County."

"The last time we spent time in the underworld was already considered a farewell, why do we need to make a special trip to say it again?"

Yi Shuyuan is a very casual person, and saying goodbye once is enough, and there is no need to repeat it again and again, especially when there is nothing special to explain.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but excessive intimacy makes Yi Shuyuan troublesome.

"Let's not think about these things for now. It's important to find a doll. Besides, sir, I can finally be a storyteller comfortably. I am from the southwest, my destiny is in the northeast, and I can go -"

——

Some time later, in the Yuanjiang County government office.

After another round of sightseeing, Chu Hang returned to Yuanjiang County. Instead of looking for his uncle first, he went straight to the county government library.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, I will bring you something interesting to show, Yi."

Chu Hang's footsteps paused. It was not unusual for the library door to be closed, but when he walked to the door, he found that there was a lock on the door.

what happened?

Chu Hang grabbed the door lock and took a look. He lay down in front of the door and tried to look inside through the window paper, but he couldn't see anything.

Looking for uncle!

Chu Hang hurried to the chief registrar's office. As soon as he entered the door, there was a "bang" and he bumped into Wu Minggao.

One fell to the ground, the other staggered back, each wailing.

"Ouch" "Ah"

"hiss"

Wu Minggao and Chu Hang were rubbing their shoulders and the other was rubbing their heads. When the former saw that it was his nephew, he immediately became angry.

"You bastard, why are you running around blindly? This is the county government!"

"Uncle, are you okay? I am in an emergency."

Chu Hang quickly went to help Wu Minggao and helped him to his seat. Wu Minggao asked angrily.

"What's the emergency?"

Chu Hang suddenly spoke.

"Uncle, where is Mr. Yi? Did he put the lock on the library?"

"So you don't know that Mr. Yi has resigned from his position as a civil servant and left the county government."

"ah?"

Chu Hang was stunned.

"Gone? Why did he leave so suddenly? How could he leave?"

Hearing this, Wu Minggao became angry again and shook Chu Hang's hand away.

"What? You can't leave? You want Mr. Yi to be a county official for the rest of his life? It's just that you are uneducated and incompetent. Mr. Yi is a great talent, and you can't always stoop to this!"

"No, no, uncle, that's not what I meant!"

Chu Hang felt very uncomfortable now, and he was crying when he explained.

"Did Mr. Yi mention me?"

"well!"

Wu Minggao sighed, why did he have such a useless nephew? He stood up and took out a letter from the wooden box on the bookcase behind him.

"You are indeed mentioned. This is the resignation letter left by Mr. Yi. You are mentioned in the second line at the end. Read it yourself."

Chu Hang immediately took the letter, and Wu Minggao was frightened by his hurried look.

This letter is also equivalent to a calligraphy work, and having a name is equivalent to having a signature.

"You bastard, be careful, don't let me damage this letter!"

"Yes Yes Yes"

Chu Hang moved as gently as possible, and after taking out the letter, he glanced at the front. They were all uninteresting to him, and his name was only on the last two lines.

"I hope Mr. Wu will tell Brother Chu that his matter is not urgent for the time being and don't worry. Yi will naturally visit when he has the opportunity."

Chu Hang frowned, what does it mean to have a chance to visit? So what if there is no chance?

"Mr. Yi, what riddle are you playing with? What is your business?"

Chu Hang put down the letter and made it up casually.

"Yes, I just want to ask Mr. Yi for some advice on calligraphy."

"That sounds like something to say. Well, you've messed it up and forgotten it. I still want to go to Mr. Lin's place!"

Wu Minggao stood up again, glanced at Chu Hang, and put the letter away before leaving.

Chu Hang stood indoors and stared. He thought it would be at least until next year, but why did he leave so suddenly? No, he had to go to Mr. Yi's house to find him!

However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. Chu Hang is destined to not find Yi Shuyuan.

——

August 24th, cold dew, foggy sky in the morning.

On the edge of a clear creek, Yi Shuyuan rolled up his sleeves and walked to the shallows, squatted down and held a puddle of clear water with both hands.

Then Yi Shuyuan patted the clean water on his face and scrubbed it. Wisps of water and water droplets surrounded his hands, but did not splash out immediately.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”

When Yi Shuyuan had finished washing, he withdrew his hands, and all the turbid water spilled out with his hands.

At Yi Shuyuan's feet, there was a gray and white mink doing the same thing, cleaning itself with river water and washing all its limbs and paws.

"Sir, after passing this area, you should reach Xiuzhou, right?"

Yi Shuyuan stood up. Across the river, in the hazy mist, he could vaguely see a village, or rather a village.

"We should already be in Xiuzhou, but this area is relatively desolate and there are no towns in sight."

"Wouldn't it be quick to fly there?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at Hui Mian.

"You guys, let's follow the destiny to find the baby. We are not in a hurry. We are flying here and there quickly. God knows if we have gone too far all at once!"

"Let's go, find someone to buy some food ahead."

“I also need to buy ingredients for cooking!”

Hui Mian said, pulling on Yi Shuyuan's clothes and jumping onto his shoulders a few times.

The river is deep and shallow. There are many large pebbles where Yi Shuyuan meets. The water is crystal clear. He can easily cross the river by stepping on the stones.

The fog never dissipated, but it did not affect Yi Shuyuan's sense of direction.

As I walked, the previously deserted areas under my feet clearly had the texture of a dirt road, and I could even see some axle marks.

On one side of the dirt road, Yi Shuyuan suddenly discovered a small house. It was really the kind of small house that was only half a person tall.

This is a small temple, usually built on land.

Although it is not as magnificent as a large temple, it at least gives you a place to stay, have a place to get in shape and enjoy the incense and offerings.

But when Yi Shuyuan walked to the temple out of curiosity to see the quality of the clay sculpture, he suddenly discovered that the clay sculpture in the small temple had its head cut off!

"hiss"

Hui Mian on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder took a breath of cold air, and the hair on his body exploded, and he instinctively felt a little uneasy.

"First, sir, the head of the landowner is missing."

"Maybe it's just an empty temple without gods?"

Yi Shuyuan also felt a little numb. This was not the place in his previous life. People had a strong respect for the gods. Who would dare to casually take off the head of a clay sculpture?

"It's true that there's not much incense smell."

Yi Shuyuan said this, but not much does not mean nothing. He took a few steps closer to the small temple, squatted down and looked at the clay sculptures carefully.

"Sir, I feel very scared. Let's leave quickly."

Hui Mian tugged on Yi Shuyuan's hair, not wanting to stay here.

"Oh, you are a monster, what are you afraid of?"

"But."

Being treated like this by Hui Mian, Yi Shuyuan's nervousness was gone, but his sense of involvement was also reduced.

However, Yi Shuyuan knew that his synesthesia was very strong. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand and stretched his right arm into the temple.

"Don't blame me, don't blame me."

After murmuring like this, Yi Shuyuan's fingers touched the broken neck of the clay sculpture, and he felt a sharp feeling like a touch.

The spiritual sense presented a hazy perception in a trance. Yi Shuyuan closed his eyes slightly, leaving only his peripheral vision, as if he wanted to see something from the peripheral vision.

"Meow-"

A sharp and terrifying roar suddenly sounded in his mind, making Yi Shuyuan tremble slightly in shock and suddenly opened his eyes.

It was like a cat's meow, but it was too shrill and too horrifying. It was a sudden change from the second to the fourth. At this moment, Yi Shuyuan's mind was filled with lingering sounds.

It was not like what Yi Shuyuan thought a cute cat could say.

This synaesthesia was so strong that when Yi Shuyuan retracted his hand, goosebumps appeared on his arms.

"Monster! And extremely vicious!"

Yi Shuyuan rubbed his arms and put down his sleeves.

"This monster even dares to chop off the head of the landowner. Sir, let's go quickly!"

Hui Mian was extremely scared. He followed Yi Shuyuan for a long time and continued to practice with Yi Shuyuan, which made Hui Mian's spiritual sense become stronger unknowingly.

Although Hui Mian couldn't have the intuitive feeling like Yi Shuyuan, and it was even less likely that he could hear that horrifying howl, his intuition was not bad at this time.

Yi Shuyuan frowned and looked at the village in the distance.

"Go there first and have a look!"

After all, he was a self-proclaimed person who cultivated the righteous path of immortality. Yi Shuyuan couldn't just sit back and ignore it. He had to at least find out something about the situation.

Just as Yi Shuyuan thought, there was a village over there, and the whole village was surrounded.

Walking along the dirt road, we arrived at the front of the village, where a stone arch was built. Perhaps because it was too early, the two wooden gates were still closed at the moment.

There are obviously people in the village, at least Yi Shuyuan can feel the anger of the people here.

This also made Yi Shuyuan breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that there would be a dead village in front of him.

But Yi Shuyuan also had trouble standing in front of the door.

"Do you think we'll be beaten like thieves if we just jump in?"

Yi Shuyuan joked, and without waiting for Hui Mian's reply, he knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang."

"Is there anyone? Can you please open the door and let me in - is there anyone -"

"Bang bang bang"

The sound of Yi Shuyuan knocking on the door was quite loud, and soon there were footsteps approaching the entrance of the village.

"Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak"

The door was slowly opened from the inside, but it was only opened a crack, and something was stuck on the corner of the door. A man looked out through the crack.

Yi Shuyuan immediately cooperated and walked to the range where they could see clearly.

"Brother, do you look like a Confucian scholar?" "Ask me later!"

Yi Shuyuan heard all the discussions between the two people inside, and he waited for the other party to ask.

"Where did you come from? Are you alone?"

"Yes, I came from the other side of the mountain. I took a ride with a carriage and a horse on the way, and then I walked for a while. When I saw a village here, I wanted to come and buy some food!"

Over the mountain?

Within two words, there were already more than two people inside the door, and another seven or eight men had gathered, some of them holding sticks, iron rakes and other items.

"There is miasma on the other side of the mountain. How did you get here? Didn't you know there was a riot here?"

miasma?

Yi Shuyuan answered almost immediately.

"I don't know. I came here with a team of carriages and horses. When the road got rough here, they stopped taking me. I came from a foreign country and I didn't know there were thieves here."

At one point on the wall of the village, someone climbed up to take a look. Indeed, Yi Shuyuan was the only one there.

Then something was clearly being discussed inside, and not long after, the village door slowly opened.

There were nearly ten men inside the door now, and they saw Yi Shuyuan standing alone outside the door.

When Yi Shuyuan saw this battle, he was so "scared" that he shivered and took several steps back, with a look of panic on his face.

"Hey, hey, I'm just passing by. I have neither money nor goods. I have something to say."

As soon as the people outside the door were frightened, the people inside the door became more relaxed.
