Yinxiang shook his head and said to Ling Ruo: "See, others always say that the fourth brother is indifferent, mean, and unsentimental, and I want him to see that he is clearly a bad and good person, and he takes everything on himself." ”

Ling Ruo smiled, turned the red agate bracelet on his wrist and said, "It is because of the heart of the Fourth Master Bodhisattva that the Thirteenth Master will serve the Fourth Master alone in so many elder brothers." What the world wants to say is up to them, the so-called road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time. Even if the people of this world don't understand the hard work of the fourth master, I believe that after thousands of years, the fourth master will be given justice. ”

Yin Zhen smiled, no longer took the topic, but asked where Ling Ruo was going today, he obviously told her to stay in the inn, don't walk around, after all, the people here are not familiar, and the West Lake is rumored to be a demon, and Hangzhou is not as peaceful as it seems.

"If the concubine doesn't go this way, I'm afraid that there will be some things, and we will still be kept in the dark." At that moment, she carefully told the second uncle of the eldest girl that instigated the eldest girl to spread the demon in the West Lake.

After she finished speaking, Yinxiang was the first to shoot the case, and shouted angrily: "What a king and eight lambs, dare to love is that he made rumors, so hateful, if I let me see it, I will not be able to break his bones and feed the dogs!" "I think they have two elder brothers, but they were actually played around by a flat-headed people.

Yin Zhen closed his eyes and slowly knocked on the table, constantly thinking about the whole thing in his mind, it seemed to be a rumor, but what was involved behind it was definitely not simple......

After a long time, Yin Zhen opened his eyes openly, "If I'm not mistaken, this rumor should be to cover up the sound coming from the bottom of the West Lake." ”

"At the bottom of the West Lake, what can there be?" Yinxiang looked puzzled, can't there be gold underneath, right?

"I don't know what to say." Yinzhen pushed open the window and glanced at the sky outside and said: "After nightfall, let's take advantage of the lack of people to go to the West Lake, I always feel that this matter is very strange." ”

Yinxiang spread his hands and said that it didn't matter, and then they waited in the inn until dark, because they knew that those who followed him lived in the inn, so they asked the shopkeeper, and left from the back door, so as not to attract more attention, only one Zhou Yong went with him.

After arriving at the West Lake, they found a no-man's corner, and Zhou Yong dived into the water, the West Lake is not deep, even the deepest part is less than a zhang, and the shallow place is only three or four feet.

Zhou Yong plunged into the water, and the broken lake was quickly calm again, and there was no longer one person in the lake, but when Zhou Yong went into the water, Yinzhen and they clearly heard a few muffled sounds, which seemed to come up from the bottom of the lake.

After a while, the peace was broken again, Zhou Yong climbed up wet and wet, and said to the Yinzhen brothers who had been waiting on the shore: "The second master of Qiqi, the slave swam around the bottom and found that there was nothing but silt. But the minions noticed something very strange. ”

"What is it?" Yinzhen perked up and hurriedly asked.

Zhou Yong endured the cool feeling of the autumn wind blowing on his body and said: "When the slave dived to the bottom of the water, he found that the water below was much warmer than above, as if swimming in warm water. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yinzhen and Yinxiang looked at each other, although the underwater temperature is indeed higher than the water surface when there is no sunlight, but Zhou Yong should also understand this matter, but now he alone points out this matter, which means that the underwater temperature is not a star and a half higher than the water surface.

"Could it be that there is still a fire under this West Lake?" Yinxiang looked incredulous, generally only in places where there is ground fire, the water temperature will be higher than that of ordinary places, and the so-called hot springs are formed, but this West Lake has never heard of ground fire for thousands of years.

Yin Zhen didn't answer his words, but turned around and went back to the inn, things are getting more and more confusing, West Lake, rumors, earth fire, what does all this represent?

When Yinzhen was still clueless, someone couldn't hold back and was ready to do it......

The next day, although he got up early in the morning and found that it was raining, Yinzhen remembered Fang Lian'er's affairs, so he went to the prefect's yamen with Yinxiang early in the morning, and he also wanted to ask Chen Yuanjing about the West Lake.

Not long after Yinzhen left, Ling Ruo also got up to make up and was changing clothes under Moyu's service, when there was a knock on the door outside, but it was Zhou Yong's voice, "Lady, there is a person outside who claims to be the second uncle of the eldest girl looking for you, saying that he has something important to see, do you want to see him?" ”

The dog went to the mansion with Yinzhen, and Li Wei and a few guards brought out of the palace were responsible for keeping an eye on the gang of people, so that in addition to Ling Ruo and Moyu, there was only one Zhou Yong left in the inn.

"Him?" Ling Ruo was stunned, what did he do when he came to find himself, could it be that something happened to the big girl? Thinking of this, she hurriedly changed her clothes and said, "Let him come in." ”

Zhou Yong took the order and left, and after a while, there was a knock on the door again, and it was the second uncle of the big girl who came in with Zhou Yong with a smiling face, after signaling Zhou Yong to go down, Ling Ruo didn't have time to take a sip of the mare's milk specially prepared by Moyu at the inn, and asked: "You came to me, but something happened to the big girl?" ”

Hearing this, the second uncle of the girl showed a look of self-blame, "Don't hide it from the lady, when I got up early this morning to call the girl for breakfast, I found that she was not in the room, and I searched all the neighborhood and didn't find her. The lady also knows that this girl is not very good-minded, and I am really afraid that she will be bullied. "From the moment he came in, he has kept his hands behind his back.

Mo Yu handed the lukewarm mare's milk to Ling Ruo, and when she turned around, she glanced at the second uncle of the eldest girl with a sneer, "You are asking this very strangely, the eldest girl has lived with you for more than ten years, and my master has only known her for a few days, and you can't find your second uncle in terms of estrangement, how can my master find it?" ”

Ever since he heard the second uncle's personality from those neighbors last night, Mo Yu has been very ashamed of him, and he won't have a good face now.

The second uncle of the eldest girl was speechless by her, and rubbed his hands curtly and said, "It's not that there is no way, otherwise I don't want to trouble the lady." ”

Ling Ruo was also ashamed of this person's behavior, but he was worried about the missing girl, lest something happen to her, he drank mare's milk and thought for a while: "That's it, you wait for me for a while, and after I clean up, I will go outside with you to find it, and the girl should not run far." ”

"Hey." A subtle hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the second uncle, and he stepped aside and waited for Ling Ruo to leave.

At this time, Mo Yu muttered on the side, "I didn't treat the big girl as a human being before, and taught her to spread rumors everywhere, but now I'm worried about the safety of the big girl, is it because my conscience has found out?" ”

Mo Yu's unintentional words woke up Ling Ruo, yes, how could a person who had never ignored the big girl suddenly become so concerned and caring? This is by no means explained by a sentence of "conscience discovery", and the most important thing is that she never told the eldest girl where she lived, so how did the eldest aunt find here?

The more Ling Ruo thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he was about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly was covered by a hand covering his mouth and nose, followed by a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and he suddenly lost consciousness.
