Chapter 67: The Return of the Little Man

As soon as Su Jingmo entered the cat zhai, he saw Nie Xiaoman coming out to feed the cat, so he smiled at him and said, "Xiaoman, guess what, what did I do today?" ”

Nie Xiaoman stopped, stroked his chin with his hand, and looked Jing Mozhou up and down with burning eyes, but did not give an immediate reply.

Jing Mo secretly snickered in his heart, thinking that Xiao Man must have lost this time. Traveling by boat is the first time I have tasted something new, and I have changed into clean clothes and shoes, there are no traces to use as evidence, Xiaoman must not be able to guess.

Nie Xiaoman suddenly said, "Did you go boating, and you just went home?" ”

Jing Mo couldn't help but be surprised, I don't know how Xiaoman guessed.

Jing Mo said unconvinced: "Okay, even if you are blindfolded again, then where do I go to row the boat?" ”

Nie Xiaoman almost blurted out: "Huang Tiandang." ”

In October of the third year of Jianyan, the Jin army went south for the third time and penetrated deep into the Yangtze River area, broke through Jinling, and approached Lin'an. Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty fled south to Mingzhou. In the first month of the second year, the Jin army attacked Mingzhou, and Gaozong fled to Wenzhou by boat, and the Jin army chased after him. Fortunately, Zhang Gongyu, the general of the navy, led his troops to block the attack in the sea near Taizhou, so that Gaozong was spared.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians from all over the south of the Yangtze River gathered everywhere in the cottages and water villages to attack the Jin army, making it threatened everywhere. After a large number of raids, in February, he was forced to retreat north. Since then, Huang Tiandang has been famous all over the world for the people of Jiangnan who fought against the Tartars.

Jing Mo was even more surprised, and asked, "Strange, could it be that in Huang Tiandang, you saw me?" ”

Nie Xiaoman slowly approached the chair and said, "I have never seen you, but I guessed it by speculating and observing. ”

Jing Mo didn't believe it and asked, "Is that really the case?" So how did you guess it? Can you tell me about that? ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled and nodded, sat up on the circle chair, and said, "It's easy. I was a little surprised when I heard your question, and then I observed you, although you were neatly dressed, but your face was very tired, and your neckline was damp with sweat, which was clear at a glance, it seems that you must have exercised vigorously, so is it Keju? Or hammer pills? Or play polo? None of this is a sport you're good at. I know that you are happy to wrestle, and you have practiced boxing, if you want to practice boxing, you must loosen your clothes and untie your belt, but look at the sweat marks on your neckline, it is not like practicing boxing, and then look at the socks on your feet are stained with water stains, so I suddenly remembered, twenty days ago, Feng Zizhou asked you to go rowing together, you have something to do, and your heart is not old, I think today you must practice the previous appointment, go rowing together. ”

Jing Mo exclaimed loudly: "Xiaoman, you are too smart!" The analysis and reasoning are well organized, and it can't help but be admirable, although you know that I am going to row, but how do you know that I am going to Huang Tiandang? What is the basis? ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "This is completely guessed by observing your hair. Your hair is newly oiled, and you can see that you were blown by the wind when you rowed, and you came back to comb it again, and after you applied the hair oil, it is not easy to be blown by the wind, which shows that the wind is strong. But if today's weather is rowing on the Qinhuai River in Jinling City, your hair will not be blown loose, and there will be the smell of alcohol between your breaths, so it is speculated that you must go to the vast river to row, except for Huang Tiandang, there is no second place? ”

After listening to his words, Jing Mo couldn't help but nod, so he smiled: "Xiaoman, you are always so smart, you deserve to be the first detective in Jinling!" If I had changed my shirt and socks together when I changed my shoes just now, you would have nothing to rely on, and you wouldn't have guessed. ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled and said, "That's right! Why don't you prepare in advance? ”

"It's all my accident!"

"Hahaha! It's because of an accidental mistake that it became a clue to crack, otherwise, I don't have the clairvoyance in mythology, how can I peek into your secret? ”

"So I'm so well prepared, you can't guess?"

"Not necessarily, you should know that no matter how cunning and cunning a person is, at best he can only hide his face, but not his heart. All the camouflage in the world cannot be done seamlessly, so meticulous that there are no loopholes at all. No matter how treacherous and slippery you are, you will still be able to take care of one or the other, and it is inevitable that you will be slack. Sometimes the loopholes are too small for people with insufficient intelligence to be aware of. If you want to be an official who deals with criminal names, you must pay attention to the smallest loopholes and not let them escape your eyes. ”

After listening to Xiaoman's explanation, Jing Mo had nothing to refute, and he was completely convinced by Xiao Man in his heart, not to mention that what Nie Xiaoman said was well-founded, and no matter how strong he argued, it was useless, so Jing Mo stopped making things difficult for him.

After another three days, Nie Xiaoman actually proposed to ask Jingmo to go to the city wall for a walk, and it was not far from the city wall. Now it's just early spring, and Jingmo doesn't have any official business in the Zhenfu Division that day, and he has nothing to do, so he often walks with Xiaoman. When you climb the castle wall, you will be greeted by the east wind, and after taking a deep breath, you will feel very comfortable.

Originally, the foot of the wall was full of withered yellow weeds, but at this moment, you can find tender green new grass among the weeds, which has the meaning of awakening and rejuvenating the sun. Looking down at the wheat field below the city wall, the seedlings are about an inch or two high, and there are pea seedlings in between, which also show a tender green color. Along the river, high and low, it is covered with lettuce.

Some old farmers put down the plough and lay down under the eaves, a hard day's work, and at this moment stretch their muscles and bones to rest. Outside the walls were peasant houses, some of which were built facing the stream. On the bank of the small river is a tall willow, a trace of willow sagging lightly brushes the water surface, the flowing water is ruthless, as if to pull the willow to flow into the distance, the water surface reflects the willow shadow of Na, like a shy beauty, half push and half on. The scenery is beautiful and intoxicating.

The Yuhuatai area is elegant and secluded, the scenery is charming, full of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the countryside is near, the city wall is far away, it is very lovely, if it is compared with the noisy noise of the Zhonghua Gate, it is like a paradise, a good place for the Wizard of Oz.

Nie Xiaoman pointed to the spring color and laughed loudly: "I haven't climbed the city wall for several days, and the spring color is already so strong!" ”

Jingmo said, "But isn't it? Spring is luring tourists, and we shouldn't let it down! ”

The two of them climbed from the city wall to the top again, condescending, looking down, the river is around the foot of the city, and the sail shadow on the water is faintly visible. Looking to the west, you can see many peaks of Sanshanji, the peaks are shrouded in the sunset, and suddenly appear, like a beauty in evening makeup, peeking through the tulle, sometimes seeing faces, sometimes disappearing suddenly. We look up at the clouds and the mountains, and we have a lot of fun.

After staring for a while, the two of them walked slowly along the city wall, where several parts of the city wall had fallen into disrepair and the path was blocked by masonry. The two also saw one or two old and abandoned artillery, lying deep in the weeds and trees, and after many disasters, they still did not wake up.

After a while, the two of them came to a defective place, and stopped looking. Originally, the city wall was about three zhang wide, and the bricks and stones were piled up to form a slope. There are a few naughty children running up and down the ground in the flawed places.

Seeing this, Jing Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now the Japanese slaves are ravaging half of the south of the Yangtze River, and the city wall is very important, and there should be someone to manage it full-time and maintain it every year, but I didn't expect to dare to ignore it. Grandpa Cheng moved the capital to Beijing, and all the relics of the old era were gradually wiped out and submerged, and the city wall seemed to be tired and wanted to sleep, so it lost its supporting strength and fell into decline.

Suddenly, Jing Mo heard Nie Xiaoman's surprised cry: "Hey, Jing Mo, what do you see this thing is?" ”
