Chapter 382 Found someone
She told the story lightly, without any intention of claiming credit.

Xuan Yu looked at Shen Luo, "Old Shen, did you find the explosives?"

Shen Luo shook his head, "I didn't find it! What about you?"

"I didn't find out either!"

Ye Weilan hastily continued: "Those people said that the explosives are hidden in caves on the mountain, and that there are several caves under the mine. If the caves collapse, the mine will be destroyed."

Xuan Yu frowned tightly, "Old Shen, what do you think?"

Shen Luo said lightly: "Rest for one night, and go to investigate tomorrow!"

"That's all there is to it."

Ye Weilan eagerly asked: "Master, Uncle Xuan, have you found Uncle Song?"

Shen Luo shook his head, "There are too many people on the mountain, and we didn't get too close, but don't worry, Master will give you an explanation if you see people alive or dead."

Ye Weilan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Shen Luo found that Ye Weilan's complexion was not very good, so he asked, "Lan'er, your complexion is not good, are you sick?"

Xuan Chen replied on behalf of Ye Weilan: "That's not true, this girl drove all night in the heavy rain and passed out after she found me, but I've given her medicine and she's much better."

"Then you have a good rest, Brother Chen, your father and I are going to study the distribution map of the mine, would you like to come and listen to it together?" Shen Luo looked at Xuan Chen with a half-smile.

Xuan Chen shook his head, "No, I'd better stay and take care of Lan'er, she's sick and needs someone to take care of her."

"That's good! Take good care of her!" Shen Luo didn't force him, but just called Xuan Yu to leave the shack.

Ye Weilan couldn't help asking, "Why don't you go and listen?"

"It's more important to take care of you!" Xuan Chen said as he sat beside her and lay down with his arms around her. "Okay, go to sleep!"

"Hey..." Ye Weilan struggled awkwardly in his arms. "Xuanchen, let me go, I can sleep by myself, I don't need you to hug me."

"Be obedient!" Xuan Chen patiently explained to her the reason why he hugged her to sleep in her ear. "It's cold in the mountains, and the cold air on the ground is heavy. You have contracted typhoid fever and your resistance is low, but I am a man with strong yang energy. If I don't hug you to sleep, your illness will only get worse."

After listening to his explanation, she gave up struggling. She knew what he said was right. The ground was cold, but his arms were very warm. Lying in his arms, she couldn't feel the cold at all.

"Go to sleep, have a good sleep, and you'll be fine when the sun rises." He whispered in her ear, the voice that used to annoy her, but now it became the voice that reassured her the most.

Under the comfort of his magical voice, she gradually fell asleep.

……

When he woke up again, it was already daylight.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw his two big black grape-like eyes, looking at her without blinking.

Her face turned red instinctively, and she spat at him lightly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Of course it's because my wife is pretty!" He said hoarsely, and suddenly leaned over, put his forehead against hers, and laughed after a moment of silence. "The fever is gone!"

Embarrassed by his actions, she blushed and said, "Xuan Chen, let me go!"

He took a deep breath, let her go obediently, then got up and went aside, and handed her some neatly folded clothes, "Here, I've cleaned your clothes for you, put them on. Bar."

She sat up, took the clothes with a flushed face, and whispered: "You go out first!"

He smiled, got out of the shack, and stood on the open space outside to take a few breaths of fresh air.

Dabao, who had disappeared early in the morning, suddenly came in from the outside with a pheasant in his mouth, and he put the pheasant at his feet.

The clever Dabao lay there expectantly looking at Xuan Chen, he wanted to eat roast chicken!

When Xuan Chen saw the pheasant, his eyes lit up, and he called Luan Ying over loudly, and ordered Luan Ying to go to the stream and pick up the pheasant.

He heard footsteps behind him, knew that Ye Weilan had come out, so he turned around, hurriedly trotted and pushed her back into the shack.

"It's cold outside, put on your cloak before going out." He grabbed her cloak from the ground, wrapped it around her body, and put on her even the drapery hat. "Your body is still very weak, stand outside for a while, and come in after taking a breath of fresh air. I'll go pick some herbs, and I'll make chicken soup for you later, so as to nourish your body."

"Hmm!" She looked at the ill-fitting clothes on his body, which obviously didn't belong to him, so she couldn't help laughing. "Hurry up and change your clothes, this one is so ugly."

He bared his teeth and smiled, seeing her go out, he put on his own clothes that she had changed, and then went out, dragging her back to the shack who was breathing fresh air.

"You rest here, don't go out until I come back."

After instructing her, he left the shack and went into the woods to pick some herbs and came back. Luan Ying also brought back a pheasant that had lost its feathers. After cooking a pot of chicken soup, Luan Ying asked Luan Ying to roast the remaining pheasant for Dabao.

He squeezed the chicken leg out of washed leaves and handed it to Ye Weilan, watched her eat it, and then fed her some chicken soup, she yelled that she couldn't eat any more, so he ate her leftover chicken leg and chicken soup .

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Xuan Chen said: "I'll go out and see what's going on."

"I'll go with you!" Ye Weilan slept for a day and a night, felt that his bones were soft from sleep, and wished to go out for a stroll, so she quickly stood up and walked out with him.

Xuan Chen had no choice but to take her out together, when he saw a group of officers and soldiers escorting a dozen men over, he walked over and asked loudly, "What's going on?"

The officers and soldiers of that team were in charge of guarding the sentries. After hearing his question, someone replied: "The one who went to pick up the food was just caught by us."

The people in Sujiazhuang will send the grain to the mountain regularly every year, but they will not send it directly to the mine, but will send it halfway, and the mine will send people to meet it halfway.

In this way, the coolies captured by Sujiazhuang can avoid knowing the whereabouts of the mine.

At this time, Baili Xiao, who got the news, walked over in a big stride, waved his hand and said, "Everyone is under arrest, and they will ask for confessions one by one."

Suddenly, Ye Weilan saw a person among the arrested crowd, and couldn't help saying: "Uncle Song?"

Song Hengzhi described his hands tied up with ropes in a state of embarrassment, and was tied into a string with the others. Hearing her voice, he suddenly raised his head and called out in disbelief: "Lan'er..."

"Uncle Song..." Ye Weilan ran up to him, saw the rope on his body, and stretched out her hands angrily to untie it, but the rope was tied very tightly on Song Hengzhi's body, and she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she had no strength in her hands. Can't help cursing angrily. "Who is this who tied up Uncle Song? Hurry up and let go!"

Xuan Chen came over to help her untie the rope on Song Hengzhi's body.

Ye Weilan cried and said, "Uncle Song, I have found you, but I'm so worried."

At this time, Song Hengzhi still looked like a handsome scholar. His originally fair face was tanned and thin, his beard hadn't been shaved for an unknown amount of time, and his dark blue robe had long since been torn. It's out of shape, its hair is disheveled, probably never combed after being arrested.

"Lan'er, stop crying, am I alright?" Song Hengzhi looked at her lovingly, as if looking at his own daughter, he really loved this girl as if he were his own daughter. "Lan'er, how did you find this place?"

"Lan'er, let Uncle Song go to the shack to rest for a while, let him drink some water before talking." Xuan Chen reminded Ye Weilan not to rush to ask questions.

Ye Weilan sniffled, wiped away her tears, helped Song Hengzhi into the shack, and helped him sit down on the oilcloth mat, "Uncle Song, how did you get arrested?"

Xuan Chen handed Song Hengzhi a water bag, Song Hengzhi drank a few sips of water, gasped and said, "It's hard to say, I went to Tianhe County to take up my post that day, got up early and left the inn, and planned to take a look around the neighborhood, and also to understand the people's sentiments, I was looking at the crops by the side of the road, and when I felt a pain in my neck, I didn’t know anything. When I woke up, I found that I was locked in a farm, and there were four or five men with me. Later, Someone gave each of us a backpack filled with salt, and they drove us into the mountain. Only when we got to the mountain did I know that there was a gold mine, and we were all captured miners.”

Song Hengzhi recounted in detail what happened after he was arrested.

Xuan Chen interrupted suddenly and asked, "Uncle Song, have you found any gunpowder in the mine?"

"Gunpowder?" Song Hengzhi asked in surprise. "Is there gunpowder in the mine?"

Xuan Chen nodded, "It is said that there are, and they are hidden in the cave under the mine."

Song Hengzhi smiled wryly and said: "Since I was arrested, I was driven to move stones at dawn every day. In addition to the two meals a day, I would be locked up when it got dark. I didn't have a chance to look around, so I inquired There's been very little news."

Ye Weilan said: "I came here to find you. Now that I have found you, I will take you out of the mountain now."

"Lan'er, don't worry, we'll talk about it when my father comes back." Xuan Chen stopped him. "Uncle Song is now an official. This matter must be reported to the emperor in a written note. How to write the note is up to my father. It is one thing to be kidnapped by a kidnapper, but another thing to go deep into a tiger's den."

Ye Weilan suddenly realized that what Xuan Chen said was right, Song Hengzhi is now an official, and he has to report every word and deed to the emperor. If he was simply kidnapped as an official, it would be a disgrace to the court. Criminal.But if it is said that he got a clue and went deep into the tiger's den to investigate the gold mine, then not only is he not guilty, but he also has merit.

"Then Uncle Song can take a rest here first, Brother Chen, you ask Luan Ying to help Uncle Song get something to eat." Ye Weilan wanted to understand this, and no longer insisted on sending Song Hengzhi out of the mountain, but placed Song Hengzhi in the Rest in the shack.
