Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 136 What did you find?
Three quarters of an hour later, the two reached the river.

"You and I will work separately. If you find any clues, let me know as soon as possible."

Xuan Ye took the order: "Yes."

Xu Ruqing searched on this side, while Xuan Ye went to the opposite side.

After the bitter cold wind passed, a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river, through which the river flowing below could still be seen.Many masts grew on both sides of the river bank, but the weather suddenly changed, and the originally bright green leaves turned yellow overnight.

Compared with the gurgling upstream, the river is more turbulent the further you go down.This made Xu Ruqing suddenly realize a problem, that is, unless the river is still, it is impossible for the corpse to move in the river under such a strong impact.

According to the flow speed of the river and the time of death of the deceased, it is very likely that Wu Xiulian's body was thrown into the river at a distance of about one kilometer upstream.It took seven hours for the body to be washed here along the flowing water, and then found by Li Cuihua who happened to come to the river to wash clothes.

That is to say, this is not the first scene of the crime.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruqing changed direction and walked up.

The higher you go, the more humid the grass is. Xu Ruqing basically has a muddy hole with his feet. Not to mention the dirty white dress that he just changed out of the house, it is very difficult to walk with his feet stuck in the mud.

In the end, she climbed over a steep rocky slope and successfully reached the flat ground. Just as she was holding on to the rocky wall to stand firm, there was a soft green light from the bushes under her feet, which suddenly caught Xu Ruqing's attention.

She walked over and parted the dense bushes, and finally saw what the glowing thing was.

"It turned out to be a jade bracelet." Xu Ruqing picked it up and weighed it in his hand, the weight was not light.

She put the bracelet in her pocket casually, then looked around to observe the environment.The upper reaches of the river turned out to be a natural redwood fir forest, and each redwood fir grows very tall. When you look up, you can't see the end, as if it goes straight into the sky.There is mist in the forest, the temperature is much warmer than that at the bottom of the mountain, and the moisture is sufficient and the air is humid. This is a bit similar to the equatorial rainforest she passed through on a certain mission in her previous life.

Suddenly a figure appeared at the intersection in the distance. Because of the heavy fog, Xu Ruqing couldn't see clearly.

When that person approached, Xu Ruqing couldn't help being a little surprised, she called out to the person uncertainly: "Brother Ma?"

Hearing the sound, Ma Tianlun paused, seemed to hesitate for a while, then turned around and looked at her: "Miss Xu, why are you here?"

"I'm doing something, I happened to pass by."

"Is it about Xiulian?"

Xu Ruqing couldn't deny it, nodded: "Yeah."

Hearing this, the expression on Ma Tianlun's face was a little unnatural, and he asked: "I heard Aunt Wu said that you are very concerned about Xiulian's affairs, and she even praised you to me... It's been so many days, how did you check it?" gone?"

Xu Ruqing sighed: "It's only a drop in the bucket, judging from the only evidence, the day when the truth is revealed is still far away."

Ma Tianlun smiled faintly: "Don't worry, take your time, I believe that with your intelligence and wisdom, Mrs. Xu, you will be able to find out the truth and give Xiulian justice."

"I hope so."

After a pause, Xu Ruqing asked again: "Brother Ma, what about you? What are you here for?"

Ma Tianlun was dull for a moment, then he seemed to think of something, he pointed to the pannier behind him: "I just came back from the city, and suddenly remembered the trap I set here a few days ago, so I came here to see if I got anything."

Ma Tianlun subconsciously stretched the pannier behind him as he spoke. There was a sack in the pannier. It seemed that there was something very heavy in the sack, probably weighing around two hundred catties.

Xu Ruqing felt that the sack was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before...

"Brother Ma, what's in your pocket?"

"Ah, you said this, it's filled with rice bran. It was rewarded to me by my employer in the city. Every time I went to his house to help threshing rice, they couldn't get used to the grain coat that was peeled off from the grain. I I thought it was a pity to throw it away, but the boss saw that I was willing to endure hardship and be honest, so he gave it to me for free."

People in the countryside are poor, and they can’t eat white rice a few times a year. A little bit of rice bran is considered good. Ma Tianlun thinks he is very lucky, and he can get such a big bag of rice bran without spending a penny. Great thing about cakes!
Xu Ruqing nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it looks, this pocket weighs at least two hundred catties, and you've been talking to me with such a heavy thing on your back for quite a while, so you must be tired from standing up too." .”

"I'm not tired, I'm Ma Tianlun, but I'm famous for my strength in ten miles and eight villages. The young man in our village can't carry such a big bag. I'm afraid it's okay to just stand for a while." Ma Tianlun finally What he is proud of is his muscles, and it is also because of his great strength, but his salary is more than twice that of others for the same job.

Xu Ruqing looked up at the sky, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the time passed, and the sky seemed to be getting darker. "I still have things to do, so I won't delay you, Brother Ma, we'll talk about it another day."

"Okay, there are often wild beasts in this mountain forest, so you should be more careful, Mrs. Xu."

"I see, thanks."

Ma Tianlun clasped his hands and said, "Farewell."

Ma Tianlun missed Xu Ruqing walking downstream, looking at his gradually fading back, Xu Ruqing's brows knit together unconsciously...

Before Xu Ruqing could figure it out, a ghostly black figure suddenly appeared behind her.

"princess."

Xu Ruqing was taken aback by the sudden sound, she covered her chest and turned her head to look at Xuan Ye who was standing behind her: "Why are you walking so silently?"

Xuan Ye's face was slightly embarrassed, he pursed his lips and said two words: "Sorry."

"Forget it, just pay more attention next time. How is your side?"

"I have found it."

"Find it? What did you find?"

Xuan Ye knew that he couldn't understand a few words, so he said: "It's useless to talk too much, Wangfei please come with me, I'll know when I get there."

"it is good."

The two returned to the way they had come. This tossing back and forth took a lot of time. Seeing that it was almost dark, they returned to the original place.

There was an indistinct fragrance floating in the dry and cold air. Xu Ruqing smelled the fragrance a little strangely. She coughed.

Xu Ruqing covered her mouth and nose: "Ahem...how long will it take to go? What did you find?"

Xuan Ye, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He pointed to the fire in front of him: "That's it."
