Chapter 238 Ruyang Qilie
The eyes of several people suddenly drifted to Fourteen, and it was only then that Bo Ling noticed that Fourteen was leaning over as if to probe for something.

Fourteen's movements stopped, and he took a step back, so that his body would no longer block the sight of Bai Ling and the old woman.

Then, he pointed to the bottom of the display shelf very calmly, "Is it possible to see the things here?" The old man asked several times as usual before he understood Wei Shishi's meaning.

She stretched her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "It's best not to."

"……better not?"

"Because there is nothing to see inside..." the old man said slowly, she looked at Wei Shishi and Bai Ling, with a kind smile in her eyes, "...just a little old woman's collection, a little memory of the past. "

"I took the liberty." Wei Shishi said softly.

Bai Ling called Wei Shishi back to her side, and then she discussed with the old man the pattern she wanted to order.

Bo Ling and the old man went to the indoor display racks and carefully looked at the color of yellow and white roses on each snuff bottle.

"Did Aunt Shen put red roses here?" Bo Ling asked curiously.

"I don't do that very often." The old man replied, "Usually when there are orders from outside, I write. The white rose is also very beautiful, isn't it? Don't you want some, sir?"

Bo Ling smiled, "That's another kind of beauty, but it's not the one I'm looking for."

Ah Li sat on the side the whole time, hearing that Bo Ling seemed to be asking questions about Qiangwei all the time, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.He cast his eyes on the bamboo basket that Wei Shishi wanted to explore just now, and he only felt that there were real clues there.

But a coffee table divides the room into two sides, the inside and the outside. The old woman is already standing in the narrow aisle leading to the inside. Forcibly going in will only make people suspicious.

Bo Ling's conversation lasted for half an hour, and she seemed to be having a great time talking, while Wei Shishi sat at the side drinking tea and refilling himself with water, as if no one wanted to dig into the details further.

This was very different from what Ah Li expected to ask—he had expected that Bai Siyao would use some unexpected means to trick out some words that the old lady would not easily mention to outsiders.

But now it seems that tonight's time seems to be wasted, he might as well investigate it himself!

In the middle of the night, the three of Bo Ling left from Hua Lane. Before leaving, Bo Ling even bought three or five snuff bottles that she saw as particularly eye-catching.

The old lady sent them to the door of her house, and Bo Ling thoughtfully advised her to stay and not to send them off—as if she was really a guest who simply came to pick things up.Ah Li looked really tight in his chest, silently followed behind Bo Ling and Shisi, without saying a word.

When he got to a place where there were no one around, Bo Ling turned his head and looked at A Li, "You've done a great job, A Li."

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned, his uneasiness just now was aroused by Bai Ling's unreasonable praise.

"What a great achievement, I didn't find out anything at all." A Li muttered.

Bai Ling shook his head and smiled.

A certain kind of unyielding young man's heart suddenly became high-in fact, he saw that there was no malice or disdain in Bai Ling's smile, but it reminded him of the mixed appreciation that Bai Yi often showed towards him when he was persuading students And helpless complex expressions.

He looked at Bai Ling, who was about the same age as himself—even a few years younger, and seriously angrily said, "I don't know what Bai Siyao is laughing at?"

"It doesn't matter anymore," Bo Ling waved his hand, looked up at Fourteen, and said softly, "I guess this Aunt Shen stayed in Ruyang for a long time when she was young."

Wei Shishi looked at her.

Bo Ling fumbled in her sleeves, and arranged the several snuff bottles she had just bought in her hands one by one. With the dim light of the roadside lights, she picked one of them and handed it to Fourteen, "Look at this. "

Fourteen took it, and there was a flower he didn't recognize painted on the inner wall of the snuff bottle.

"There is a Nanhuang volcano outside Ruyang Pass. There is a strange plant called sword chrysanthemum on the mountain. This kind of plant is very long-lived. It is said that it can live for more than 90 years and bloom only once in its life. Therefore, the local people believe that the petals of sword chrysanthemum can be used for medicine. Disease." Bo Ling said softly, "This kind of flower is very easy to recognize, because when it blooms, it often has long white petals all over its body, like a sword."

Is there a white long-petaled flower spreading all over the body?Wei Shishi looked at the snuff bottle in his hand, and the painting on it was indeed as described by Bo Ling.

"Then there is the white rose." Bai Ling held up a snuff bottle again, "The rose she painted is not an ordinary rose, but a very rare variety of white rose, which is usually called 'white jade beauty' in Ruyang. , this kind of rose is not only used as an ornamental, but also has a very important use as medicine and spices, which are said to have a calming effect.

"The soil of the Nanhuang Volcano is very suitable for growing 'Bai Yu Mei Ren', because this flower loves the sun and is not resistant to humidity, so it needs to be planted in well-drained, loose and fertile soil, and it needs a lot of fertilizer.

"I asked her just now if she had raised the roses in this painting. She said that she had done so, and she could grow seedlings directly by taking the seeds of roses—but this kind of thing is almost impossible to do without volcanic soil. There should be some flower farmers in Beijing raising 'Baiyu Meiren', but they must only use the young shoots from that year to raise seedlings, otherwise the survival rate of this flower will be very low."

Bo Ling talked about two more paintings of the snuff bottle in his hand.

"These clues point to her having lived in Ruyang area, so she is so familiar with the unique plants there."

While thinking about it, Bo Ling said, "If the information given by A Li earlier is credible, and she has lived in Baihuaya for nearly 20 years, then the matter will be easy to investigate. We only need to look at 20 years ago, What happened in Ruyang that resulted in criminals being escorted to Beijing—and it was a major case involving all men, women, children, and family members, so there may be some clues to the identity of this old woman."

Hearing this, Wei Shishi's eyes shivered slightly, he had already noticed something, and Ah Li's previous anger was gone, he stared blankly at Bo Ling, "...how do you know this?"

Bo Ling thought for a while and replied seriously, "Because I read a lot of books."

Ah Li's expression was complicated after hearing this, and he clenched his teeth with a serious face.

Bai Ling looked at him, with a somewhat imperceptible smile on her face, she knew that after A Li returned tonight, she would probably start busy with reading and writing.

Although seriously pursued, after Bo Ling came to Da Zhou, besides "Da Zhou Law", he read most of all kinds of story books.Being able to know so much by ear and eyes is also thanks to having a father who always goes to deep mountains and old forests for nothing.

However, there is no need to clarify this point with Ali for the time being.

After bidding farewell to A Li, Bo Ling and Shishi rode back home. The two rode very slowly in the dark, and deliberately ran around the market outside Chaotian Street twice more, so that Bo Ling could find the feeling of riding .Although in the end, Fourteen had to dismount and lead his and Bo Ling's mounts forward at the same time, but Bo Ling really worked hard.

She really has no talent in riding horses, and this has always been something that Wei Shishi, who is self-taught in riding, cannot understand.

In the dead of night, there was no one on the street, only the footsteps of two horses and Fourteen could be heard.

Bo Ling held the iron ring in front of the saddle tightly with both hands, and looked down at the person in front of him, "Xiteen, did you think of something when I mentioned Ruyang 20 years ago?"
