Chapter 382: Previous Life (26) 1 Burned the Fire, 1 Left Untouched
When Lin Qingchen heard what Xiao Jingchen said, she looked at the empty seat, but saw nothing.
Xiao Jingchen said this, which means that his sister is sitting in that position at the moment.
He reached out and poked it again, not believing it, but all he touched was a ball of air.
He was so angry. She was obviously his sister and they had the same blood. Why could Xiao Jingchen see her but he couldn't?
Noticing Lin Qingchen's actions, Lin Zhaoyue: ...
Fourth brother, you are still as childish as ever.
When Lin Qingchen poked her again, she reached out and poked him back.
Fight back, fight back, fight back...
Lin Zhaoyue was enjoying the poking, but Lin Qingchen froze instantly.
He felt his hand was cold, and it wasn't completely cold, but was getting colder by the minute, as if someone was poking his hand.
His eyes were filled with surprise, and he almost asked Xiao Jingchen and Lin Zhaoyue if they were poking him.
But when he saw Xiao Yan here, he shut up again.
With Xiao Yan's personality, who knows what he would do if he knew his sister was still alive.
Humph, he won’t say that!
Well, now Xiao Jingchen can see his sister and he can feel his sister, but Xiao Yan, who has no blood relationship with Zhao Zhao, doesn’t know about Zhao Zhao’s existence.
Lin Qingchen felt happy whenever she thought about it.
If he knew this someday, he would probably be so angry that he died.
Xiao Yan met Xiao Jingchen's clear eyes, his gaze slightly condensed, and finally he nodded.
If she knew that her son missed her so much, she would definitely be happy.
Lin Qingchen was afraid that Xiao Yun would discover something, so she quickly withdrew her hand, with an unconcealable look of pride on her face.
Seeing Lin Qingchen's secretly happy expression, Xiao Yan:...
Lin Zhaoyue: …
When Lin Qingchen saw Xiao Yun looking at him, he put away the smile on his face and picked up the millet porridge in front of him to drink.
Xiao Yan didn't look at him for long and quickly looked away.
After peeling an egg for Xiao Jingchen, he slowly began to eat breakfast.
He has a very good sleeping and eating posture.
Sit upright and eat elegantly.
Fourth brother and he are completely different extremes.
Xiao Jingchen was brought up by him, and Xiao Yan's habits inevitably influenced him. When he ate, he was very similar to Xiao Yan, sitting very upright.
Seeing that Xiao Jingchen specially picked up six crystal shrimp dumplings and put them on the plate for her, Lin Zhaoyue felt so soft-hearted.
Her son is so thoughtful.
The crystal shrimp dumplings were really fragrant and tempting, and Lin Zhaoyue took a big sip.
Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Jingchen putting shrimp dumplings into the empty bowl and said nothing.
Halfway through breakfast, Xiao Yan clenched his chopsticks, frowned, and stood up to leave.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yan looked at him and said:
"Father's hands are stained with oil, go to the purification room."
Xiao Jingchen said "oh" and didn't think much about it.
After Xiao Yan left, Lin Qingchen quickly asked:
"Chen'er, was your mother poking me just now?"
Xiao Jingchen was slightly stunned, but still nodded.
Lin Qingchen immediately became excited and said:
"Zhao Zhao, Fourth Brother can touch you now."
Lin Zhaoyue was also very happy. She didn't expect that her fourth brother could also feel her.
She reached out and poked his face again, but Lin Qingchen obviously didn't react.
The smile on her face faded a little, and she poked him again.
Lin Qingchen couldn't see Lin Zhaoyue, let alone know what Lin Zhaoyue was doing, and said excitedly:
"Zhao Zhao, poke Fourth Brother again."
Lin Zhaoyue poked twice more.
Lin Qingchen felt nothing and shouted in confusion:
"Zhao Zhao?"
Xiao Jingchen, who was standing aside, spoke up and said:
"My mother has already poked it."
Lin Qingchen: ...
That's impossible. He didn't feel anything just now.
"Zhao Zhao, try poking Fourth Brother again."
Lin Qingchen suspected that he was too excited just now and that was why he ignored it, so he calmed himself down.
Lin Zhaoyue poked twice more.
Lin Qingchen still felt nothing. He looked at Xiao Jingchen, who said:
"Aniang just poked it twice."
Lin Qingchen really didn't feel anything, and said uncertainly:
"hand?"
When Lin Zhaoyue heard his words, she knew that she was happy in vain.
"Zhao Zhao, you're..."
Lin Qingchen wanted to say something, but when she heard footsteps outside, she knew Xiao Yan had returned, so she immediately shut up.
When Xiao Yan came in, Lin Zhaoyue discovered that his eyes were red. Although he tried his best to look normal, he could not hide the fatigue in his eyes.
Did he just vomit again?
Lin Zhaoyue frowned.
After breakfast, Xiao Yun neither went to court nor returned to the palace, but accompanied Xiao Jingchen to read and practice calligraphy.
Lin Qingchen wanted to play with Xiao Jingchen for a while longer, and seeing that Xiao Yan was really annoying here, she said:
"Your Majesty, you haven't attended court for several days. If you don't go now, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Xiao Yan was watching Xiao Jingchen practicing calligraphy. Upon hearing this, he said:
"There are people to take care of the affairs of the court, so there is no need to worry."
He is worried, what the hell is he worried about?
This kingdom doesn't belong to his Lin family, who should he love...
But when Lin Qingchen saw Xiao Jingchen's soft face, all his mental activities stopped.
His nephew's surname is Xiao...
After thinking for a long time, Lin Qingchen decided to give the list to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked at the obviously old folded paper that Lin Qingchen handed to him and raised his head to look at him.
Lin Qingchen felt a little awkward:
"This is the Luban lock that my mother accidentally broke when she gave it to Zhaozhao by my eldest brother. Some place names fell out of it. I went to see two of them. Both are contact points of the remnants of the previous dynasty. I guess the records above are the strongholds of the previous dynasty in Anguo."
Xiao Yan took it and opened it.
Most of the information on it was what he had extracted from Liu Yiyi before and had already destroyed. The rest overlapped with what Feng Mian had found, except that there was one more place on the list.
It is Yunyao Village located at the foot of Baizisi Mountain.
Xiao Yan took the list to the study, and soon Feng Mian appeared in front of him.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Xiao Yan looked at her and said:
"When you went to investigate Baizi Temple, did you go to Yunyao Village?"
Yunyao Village is not the only way to Baizi Temple, but it is the closest village to Baizi Temple. If their people had stayed overnight in Yunyao Village for convenience, they might have alerted the enemy.
Feng Mian pursed his lips slightly and said:
"I went to investigate Baizi Temple with Master Shen. Master Shen is a delicate person and has been living in the county town. We have been very careful and have not been discovered. Master, is there anything wrong?"
Xiao Yan handed the list in his hand to her. Feng Mian exclaimed after reading it.
"How could this happen?"
There are hundreds of people in Yunyao Village, it is impossible that they are all from the previous dynasty. If that was also one of the strongholds of the previous dynasty, they would not be able to tell who are the remnants of the previous dynasty.
"Master, this..."
"Leave no one behind and set it on fire!"
"Yes, Master..."
……
Yunyao Village.
A teacher in blue was sitting leisurely on a rocking chair and teaching. He had a handsome face but his facial features revealed a certain disharmony, which made people feel awkward at first glance, as if his face was fake.
He held the textbook, looked at the hourglass beside him, and said:
"The time is up. I'm going to check. No one is allowed to move."
Upon hearing this, the little kids really took their hands away from the snowman and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Their favorite class is Mr. Ye’s.
No need to memorize or practice calligraphy, just play. Today, Mr. Ye even held a snowman-making competition.
The man in green stood up and went to look at the snowman they had made.
They pinched it horribly.
He didn't stop until he came to an exquisite snowman.
He looked at the snowman, then at one of the boys, and said:
"You made this?"
The little boy nodded.
"Nice pinch,"
The little boy immediately looked proud after receiving the teacher's affirmation.
The man in blue changed the subject and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that white alone is a bit too monotonous. It would look better with a little red."
"red?"
The little boy looked puzzled, looked around and said:
"But Master, there is no red here."
The man in blue looked at him and said:
"Are you sure you haven't?"
The little boy looked around again and whispered:
"Master, really not."
The man in blue smiled and looked at him and said:
"Human blood is red, try it."
As he spoke, the man pulled out the ruby-encrusted dagger from his waist and handed it to him with an encouraging look in his eyes.
The little boy swallowed, and with his silent encouragement, took the dagger he handed over.
The man in blue saw him take the dagger, touched his head and said:
"Good boy, give it a try by cutting your hand."
The little boy's hands were shaking, his eyes fixed on the dagger in his hand, and he didn't dare to make a move.
The man in green frowned slightly, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his voice, saying:
"What? You don't even dare to do such a small thing? How are you going to accomplish big things in the future?"
When the little boy heard this, he immediately said:
"Master, I dare."
As he said this, he gritted his teeth and ruthlessly cut his finger. Immediately, blood gushed out.
Looking at the bright red blood, the man in blue had a hint of secret excitement in his eyes and praised:
"What a good boy! Go and try dripping some blood on it."
The little boy walked up to the snowman and dripped the blood onto the snowman.
The hot blood dripped onto the snowman, melting into blood pits one after another. The snowman did not become more beautiful, but instead looked particularly creepy.
"Master...is it ok?"
The little boy was a little scared and spoke.
"So do you think the snowman has gotten better looking?"
The little boy shook his head honestly and said:
"No."
"It didn't become more beautiful because you don't have enough blood. Blood is the most beautiful color in the world. It can dye everything in the world red."
Looking at the bleeding wound, the little boy finally burst into tears.
At this time, a woman hurried over and her face turned pale when she saw the scene.
But when she saw the man in blue, she didn't dare to say a word, but bowed respectfully and said:
"Mr. Ye."
The man in green nodded.
The little boy saw the woman coming and cried out:
"Auntie..."
The woman walked up to him and shouted:
"You're crying out after losing just a little blood. How are you going to kill enemies in the future? We are surrounded by enemies. If every one or two of them are as cowardly as you, how can we shoulder the responsibility?"
After being scolded by the woman, the little boy didn't dare to cry loudly. He suppressed his tears and sobbed.
As soon as the man in blue stretched out his hand, an attendant handed him a piece of white gauze.
The man in blue took the gauze and walked up to the little boy. Just as he was about to bandage him, the woman immediately said in panic:
"Mr. Ye is a tough kid, so a little bleeding won't be a problem."
The man in blue heard this and said softly:
"You can't let him bleed all the time, you should bandage him!"
The man handed the gauze in his hand to her, and the woman immediately thanked him profusely.
"He is a good boy, so the dagger is given to him."
The woman looked at the ruby dagger, knelt down immediately and said:
"Thank you Mr. Ye."
As he spoke, he pulled the little boy down to his knees and said:
"Hurry up, thank you Mr. Ye!"
The little boy didn't understand, but he still followed his mother's instructions and knelt down and said:
"Thank you sir."
The man in blue hummed lightly and said:
"That's all for today's class."
After he left, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, took the ruby dagger from the little boy, looked at the little boy and praised him:
"Niu Niu was awesome today, so brave..."
The man in blue left the academy and walked into a bamboo garden, saying:
"How is the situation in the palace?"
"Everything is fine. Xiao Yan has been poisoned by the love poison. He can't make any waves now."
"Okay, tell the princess to speed up. I don't want to stay in this broken place anymore."
As the man in green spoke, he took off the human skin mask on his face. This man was none other than Lin Yanzhi, who had been missing since the battle of Beiyang Pass.
