After Tang Zi Qi came out of Bi Mansion, he went to Pang Da Hai's Earth Wood Restaurant.

Because of Bi Wen Xuan's instructions, Pang Da Hai was extremely cooperative. She first went to see He Luo, who was unscrewing the biogas lamp's valve. After such an incident had occurred, he was temporarily being held captive by Pang Da Hai in preparation of being pursued. When Tang Zi Qi arrived, he was lying on the bed in the hut, tossing and turning.

Hearing that she was sent by the Crown Prince to investigate this case, the young He Luo immediately sat up, staring at her with his big eyes, instantly filling her with tears. But suddenly he lay down again, without a word.

"Xiping, is this your attitude?" Tang Zi Qi sat on He Luo's short chair and said unhurriedly, "I heard that you called yourself wronged previously, you can now defend yourself."

"What's there to defend!" Xi Ping sat up again, "One man should take responsibility for the work. Those brothers died because of my negligence, it was me … Sorry about that. "

"So, to make them die and rest in peace, the only thing you can do is to not let the perpetrator get away with it, and not hide everything from your heart, right?"

Siping hesitated for a moment, then slowly sat up again and asked with wide eyes, "Will the True God forgive me?"

"I don't understand your teachings, but I believe that the true God will recognize honesty."

Siping gritted his teeth, as if struggling internally. At first he thought he was wronged, but no one paid any attention to him. He waited and waited, unwittingly resigned himself to his fate. He felt that everything was his responsibility, and he didn't want to betray his friends. But when Yu Ren said this, the hope in his heart was raised again.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The day I checked the day all the biogas lamp were installed … The night before we were to leave for the mountains, a good friend of mine came to see me. He brought wine and food, we drank a lot, and I got drunk. When I woke up the next morning, he was already gone. "

"He's gone?" Tang Zi Qi said, "Maybe he left first?"

"No, I never found him after that. He seems to be missing. Honestly, if he hadn't disappeared, I wouldn't have suspected it. "

"You mean, he did something to the biogas lamp?"

Siping shook his head. "I didn't say it, and I don't know what happened. When I think of my dead brothers these past few days, my heart … The accident was my fault in any case. But I just want to find out. I also hope that my suspicions about him are wrong. "

Tang Zi Qi asked: What's the name of this friend of yours? "What is their origin?"

"His name is Falling Mountain Wind. We can especially talk about him. But I don't know where he came from. "Friends only need to know each other's heart, there's no need to ask so many questions."

Tang Zi Qi sighed. He Luo was just like that. As long as he looked properly, he would be able to make friends with others. Who cares about his background? If it was in the Wanzhou City of the Yuezhou, there would at least be a mother name and a family that could be distinguished, but the people in the Lanzhou were all scattered He Luo. Some were travelling and some were travelling, some were traveling, and even though there were people like Pang Da Hai who lived here, it was not part of the system. It was indeed difficult to track down a lone missing He Luo.

Tang Zi Qi asked about the appearance and signs of the Falling Mountain Wind, and so on. After coming out, she asked Pang Da Hai a few things. Pang Da Hai knew nothing about this Falling Mountain Wind. Then he could only use Xue Yin Shu's power to investigate. He shouldn't be unable to find any clues.

He said he wanted her to investigate, but of course, she wasn't the only one there. Xue Yin Shu's strength in Qiu Ye Jing and even the Lanzhou would be coordinated with each other as much as possible. She held out a hand in silence, still a little incredulous at times, one that would one day hold the rope that guided them.

Is that what the man wants?

"Where is the crow's beak?"

Pang Da Hai coughed, "The crow's beak has been busy these past few days. There are countless people who have been asking him for guidance. It's dinner time right now, so we're probably being dragged to the main hall again. "

He Luo was the most hardworking, and respected the wise. After showing off his abilities like a crow, everyone naturally respected him like he was a god. In addition to his gratitude for risking his life to save others, he was also full of worship for his superb techniques. Everyday, there were people who had to acknowledge him as their master, and there were also people who came to poach him, making Pang Da Hai extremely annoyed.

But the crow's beak still did its own thing. If someone pestered him with a question, he would give them some pointers. But there was no need to talk about taking a master.

Tang Zi Qi went to the great hall where He Luo and the others were eating. Sure enough, the crow's beak was placed at the head of the long table. He Luo's workers crowded around him as they poured wine and sliced his flesh. The crow's beak looked indifferent, its posture casual, but its expression was hard to read.

Tang Zi Qi did not go in. He looked through the window for a while, only to realize that Crow's beak was acting a little weird, but he could not figure out what was weird at the moment.

After He Luo and the others finished the plate of guinea pig meat, the crow wiped its mouth with a towel, and she suddenly realized what was happening.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. He turned and left, thought for a moment, then blew his whistle, after a while, the person Xue Yin Shu had given her appeared beside him.

"From now on, I must ensure the safety of that He Luo called Wu Tuo Mountain. She made the arrangements and the guard left.

She bid farewell to Pang Da Hai, and turned her head back. When He Luo and the rest had left, each of them returning to their own residences, she avoided the eyes and ears of the onlookers and went to the door of Crow's beak.

After the matter of resting in the mountain, Pang Da Hai arranged a spacious room for Crow's beak. At the moment, Tang Zi Qi still did not want to reveal himself, he could only peep through the window.

The first thing Crow's beak did when he returned from the dinner was to open the stove in the corner of the room. As the weather began to warm up, most of the heat stoves in the houses had stopped burning, but the coal had not been cleaned up to keep out the spring cold. The crow's beak fiddled with it for a moment, then he took out a wrapped paper bun from the stove. After opening it, he found a white and fat steamed bun inside.

Tang Zi Qi could not help but burst out laughing. This should be food that he had hidden away beforehand. If he wasn't so hungry, he might not have taken it out.

The crow chewed on a few mouthfuls of mantou and said indifferently: "Miss Feather, it isn't polite to peek at other people eating."

Tang Zi Qi did not want to hide it at first, so he smiled and pushed the door and entered.

"I'm impressed by your mental fortitude for putting down so many delicacies at the dinner table." she said, smiling as she entered.

The crow opened its mouth and sneered. It ignored her and continued to eat its own steamed bun. Tang Zi Qi thought for a while, then took out a small leather water bag from his waist and threw it towards him. The crow caught it with a complicated look in its eyes. Tang Zi Qi laughed: "The steamed buns are dry and astringent, it would be better to eat with water." She added, "Don't worry."

The crow no longer hesitated. It opened the water bag and took a big gulp.

After he finished eating, Tang Zi Qi said: "Since this place is already so unsafe, why are you still not leaving?"

Crow's beak had a hesitant expression. He pretended to eat and drink at dinner, but in reality he had disposed of all the food without eating anything. It could be seen that he held an untrustworthy attitude towards everything around him. However, he was still quietly staying in the shop. He only calmly said, "I can't leave."

"Is there someone important to you here, or is it something important?" Tang Zi Qi went straight to the point, "You suspect that someone is trying to kill you, do you know who that person is?"

Crow's beak was silent for a long time, as if it had tacitly agreed to everything, but it did not say anything else. In the end, all he said was, "My destination isn't here."

"Mr. Crow's beak, sometimes it's easier to be honest." Tang Zi Qi sighed, "We can also be considered friends that shared life and death together, right?"

"He Luo, once you have identified someone as your friend, you will definitely not harm or make use of them." The crow looked at the Feather woman in front of him, "That's why sometimes He Luo is especially cautious when making friends. Sometimes, there are even some that I don't dare to make friends with."

Tang Zi Qi also did not pester him any further, and laughed straightforwardly: "Alright. But I'm glad you drank my water today. I believe that one day, we will be honest with each other. "

As he ate the steamed bun, he said loudly, "I hope so too."

"There's one more thing I need you to know." Tang Zi Qi said casually, "I have already ordered people to protect you in secret. Of course, I told them not to get too close so you wouldn't be upset. However, if you encounter any problems, don't forget to yell for help. If you dislike steamed buns and have no appetite, you can ask them to bring you something good to eat … "

"I do not need Yu Ren's protection!" Crow stood up, furious.

"It is not up to you. If I don't tell you, you won't know. Now, just keep pretending you don't know. " Tang Zi Qi ignored him, and said almost mischievously. She could have kept this a secret from him, but that would have been her sincerity.

The crow wanted to say something, but the Feather girl had already walked out of the house.
