By now the turmoil had come to an end, and the vast encampment gradually became quiet.

Gu Shinwei walked in front silently, leading Chu Liangchen and Han Shiyan all the way north. He didn't stop until he was a little further away from the camp and confirmed that no one over there could hear him.

On the right side of the official road is the water channel, and the sound of gurgling water is particularly clear at this moment. Going further, there are endless fields, patches of green.

Gu Shiwei stopped and turned around, asking Chu Liangchen straight to the point, "Who did you learn your ability to drive away snakes from?"

Chu Liangchen misunderstood. His face turned pale and he shook his head at Gu Shiwei, "I didn't release those snakes. If you saved Xiaojing, you are my reborn parents. How could I release the snakes with you among them?" ?”

Gu Shiwei sighed lightly. She knew that Chu Liangchen, apart from Wang Jing, had no sense of right and wrong at all.

I didn't expect that until now, he would still be so arbitrary.

She thought and glared at Chu Liangchen, "Even if there is no me inside, you can't just drive the snake away and kill people."

"I know you weren't the one who drove the snake away. What I'm asking is, who did you learn this skill from? Then God is not your father, so how can he still allow you to have such skills as soon as you were born?"

Chu Liangchen breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Gu Shiwei's eyes brightening a little.

"I learned it from my aunt."

When Gu Shiwei heard this, he looked at each other with Han Shiyan.

The spring breeze blows on Chu Liangchen's face, blowing up Chu Liangchen's sleeves slightly. A small green snake hidden inside pokes out its head curiously. It looked at Han Shiyan, then at Gu Shiwei, and decisively selected it. The weak one among them, Han Yushi, spit out the letter.

Han Shiyan's scalp went numb and he subconsciously touched the crossbow.

As soon as those fingers touched the cold wood, his body froze.

no! Isn't he a civil servant? Civil servants who are moved by emotion but judged by reason, and who can at best hit the wall with their advice, why are their first thoughts now when something happens is to take action!

Gu Shiwei and Chu Liangchen couldn't understand Han Shiyan's entanglement. After all, they had already taken action without thinking when something happened.

When Chu Liangchen saw the little snake coming out, he reached out and touched its head and blocked it back.

"The name of this snake is Yuxi. Your Excellency, please see that its whole body is as green as jade. It is made from ordinary bamboo leaves and greens fed with poison. Snake exorcists call it a ghost lantern. If it bites you, there will be a ghost on the grave." You can only raise a will-o'-the-wisp, like a light guiding you to the underworld."

As Han Shiyan listened, his mind turned over and over again. Chu Liangchen had been hiding snakes around him. Didn't anyone in Kaifeng Mansion notice it? Wouldn't someone with this kind of ability be able to kill everyone in the dungeon?

He wrote a memorial of several hundred words in an instant, but then he heard Chu Liangchen say again:

"This was just selected from the snake group. This snake driver is not very particular. The snakes are messy in color and vary in fat and thin, which really makes people feel uncomfortable. Only this ghost lantern is uniform and bright in color. At first glance, Just like a noble prince..."

Han Shiyan hesitated and tore up the memorial in his mind titled "Eighteen Points to Check and Fill in the Lacks in the Kaifeng Dungeon" and looked at Gu Shiwei speechlessly.

He finally discovered it after meeting Gu Shiwei.

The modest, courteous, and gentle people around him seemed to have suddenly died. You can't find a normal person within a ten-mile radius! The noblest son among ghosts and snakes, Chu Liangchen kept Wang Jing because he was the noblest among men, right?

Han Shiyan muttered silently, but saw the joy on Gu Shiwei's face.

I saw her giving a thumbs up to Chu Liangchen, "Well done! I was worried before that if you rushed out to drive away the snake, you wouldn't be helping me, but you would be grabbing the shit basin in public, for fear that we would be left empty-handed! "Everyone in the two countries is eager to find a murderer immediately to deal with the dispute. If you show up, it will be like a sheep that took off its hair and jumped into the stew pot and served it directly to the table."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand towards Chu Liangchen's sleeve. Where could that green snake still have the fierce look that it had when it grinned at him before?

It twisted its body almost into a twist, and touched Gu Shiwei's fingertips with its head obediently and flatteringly.

Han Shiyan was speechless for a moment. He felt that the crossbow he was hiding was about to twist with anger.

How come these days, even snakes are willing to wait for someone to order their food? Bully the weak and fear the strong! Flattery villain!

"Does your young master know how to get home? Could you drive him back to find his original owner?"

Chu Liangchen nodded after listening to Gu Shiwei's question. He bent down and put the little green snake on the ground, and then let out some weird hissing sounds from his mouth.

The green Yuxi first turned around a few times like a headless fly, then leaned out and continued to swim north.

"Why is Yushi Han looking so angry? Could it be that he drank too much in this wind? The wind blowing today is not from the northwest!"

When Han Shiyan came to his senses, he was speechless for a moment. What could he say? Can he say that he is scolding a snake and a dog for looking down on others?

When Gu Shinwei saw that he was silent, he shook his head and raised his hand to pat his shoulder, "It's not your fault that Dayong is so messy. Don't be too sad. If you are so angry in this wilderness, , there is no coffin to bury the body.”

Han Shiyan took a deep breath and was about to fight back when he saw the green snake jumped over the ditch and ran straight to the fields as if it had wings.

Seeing that Gu Shiwei and Chu Liangchen were already following him, he didn't dare to stop anywhere. He raised his feet and trotted after him. He couldn't ask the snake to wait for him, could he?

Entering the wilderness, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, and even the sound of water in the ditch could no longer be heard.

"When I was a child, I was fostered in other people's homes. I never met my parents. My aunt was a wanderer and she came to visit me about two or three times a year. Every time she came back, she would teach me some kung fu and how to repel snakes. ability."

"The family that raised me was a boatman on the Bian River. I could walk and swim. When I was seven or eight years old, I started running boats and fishing for corpses."

Gu Shiwei listened carefully and asked calmly, "How can you confirm that she is your aunt?"

"Everyone who has seen me says that I look like my aunt. My happiest day every year was when my aunt came to see me. After all, at that time, I thought he was my only biological relative. When I was ten years old, , I asked my aunt where my parents’ gravesites were.”

"They never showed up. I thought they were dead. My aunt laughed loudly at the time. She said she wanted to take me to meet my parents."

When Chu Liangchen said this, his expression was particularly calm. He looked at the little green snake swimming in front of him, his eyes full of softness.

"We went to a village near the Bianhe River. It had white walls and gray tiles, and small peach blossoms were planted in the corners. When I followed the boat, I would often pass by that garden. At that time, I was thinking in my heart, my father and mother-in-law You are so close to me, why don’t you come to see me?”

"The yard is full of birdsong and flowers, and it looks like a fairyland on earth. It's the first time I've been to a place like that."

"I saw my father and mother for the first time in a small yard. They were tied to a deck chair and sitting in the yard basking in the sun. Their whole bodies seemed to be withered, their lips were black and blue, and only a few bits of them were left. Their breath is bad. There are traces of poisonous snake bites all over their bodies."

"My aunt turned her own brother into a snake-man. She's just crazy."

Gu Shinwei and Han Shiyan stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked at Chu Liangchen in front of him in disbelief.
