Chapter 279 No One Knows How Dark the Road You Walked On Was
"Have you really seen the person in the portrait?"
Jin Duobao came in from outside, squeezed in between the man and Bai Xiang, and could put his arm around the man's shoulders with his hand.
He took the man to sit down at the examination table and poured him tea enthusiastically. "I know this better than Dr. Lin. Let me tell you! Come on, brother over here, sit down and listen!"
The corner of Xu Gou's mouth twitched when he was greeted.
Who is this chubby guy in front of me? He is even more casual in dealing with people than he is.
"The man in the portrait is called Yan Changhuai. He is the second prince of Da Rui, and the person my good brother Yan Changqing has been looking for."
"He disappeared ten years ago, and no portraits were left. The portraits on the notice were all drawn by the best painters my good brother found based on bone structure."
"The picture drawn in this way will definitely be different from the real face of the person, but my good brother is very stubborn and refuses to give up. He has been looking for him for ten years without interruption, and no one can persuade him to stop. Oh."
"As a good brother and a good friend, I should naturally support him, right?"
"In the past ten years, Jin and his good friends have searched every corner of Da Rui, but they have never found any relevant clues. This is a pity for everyone."
"If you have really seen the person in the portrait, please let me know. I will thank you on behalf of my good brother and will pay you a handsome reward!"
Yan Changqing listened quietly, like a bystander.
On the contrary, the Dog was stroking his chin, not knowing what he was thinking. He hissed, frowned, and then looked at the portraits over and over again by himself.
Weird.
Looking at the earliest portrait, it seemed familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
But when I think about it carefully, I can’t remember.
When he finally came to the conclusion, it seemed like he had never seen this person before.
On the table over there, a line of words reappeared on the square paper:
There has been no news for ten years, maybe he has died, why are you looking for the dead?
Jin Duobao stared at the words, was silent for a moment, and then returned to his carefree and harmless attitude, "If we haven't found him, it doesn't necessarily mean he's dead. Maybe he can't be found because he's still alive. As for the inside story, we need to ask the person involved to find out."
With Jin Duobao around, Baixiang didn't have to handle everything by himself. He could just listen and watch from the side and become more clear-headed.
Her gaze lingered on the mute man for a moment, then moved away without leaving a trace.
The man was dressed in ordinary clothes and at first glance he didn't look like he came from a wealthy family.
However, it is impossible to be able to write beautifully without receiving good education since childhood.
Moreover, he has the aura of a martial artist.
His breathing is longer and more even than that of an average person, his breath is very steady, and he has excellent control over his emotions.
Including his companion, both of them had calluses on their fingertips from years of holding swords.
Such a person, by chance, came to Yuxi Village.
What a coincidence! Have you seen the person Brother Changqing is looking for?
"I have already told you the reason, young man. Can you tell me when and where you have seen the person in the portrait?" When Jin Duobao paused, Bai Xiang stared into the man's eyes and asked.
The man raised his eyes to meet her gaze, then lowered them for a moment and wrote on the paper stroke by stroke -
No city left, ten years ago.
Then, he quickly wrote down two more words:
Not like.
Jin Duobao's mouth twitched.
He didn't know whether he looked like him or not, as he had never seen the Second Prince who had been famous for ten years in Da Rui.
But, not leaving the city?
"Buliu City? South Gate Foreign Trade City?!"
"Brother, you still remember clearly the person I met ten years ago. You are really good at remembering people and events."
"Speaking of which, Da Rui's missing person notice was posted from within the domain to outside the domain ten years ago. It can be seen everywhere. Since you knew the clues, why didn't you post the notice to report it?"
Then two large characters written in graceful strokes were written on the square paper - don't want.
Jin Duobao: "..."Brother, you are really unique.
"Brother, what's your surname? May I ask your name?"
——Cang.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Xu Gou introduced himself, "My name is Ah Xu. I have been wandering the streets since I was a kid, and I don't have a last name. This time I came to Yuxi Village specifically to see Dr. Lin, and to accompany my brother to seek treatment for his muteness."
The two of them were clearly hiding something between the lines, and did not provide detailed explanations regarding the Second Prince.
Bai Xiang did not get to the bottom of the matter. After discussion, he decided to keep the person in the clinic and let the two of them stay there temporarily for treatment.
She needed some time to contact Brother Changqing and inform him of what happened here.
Perhaps, if I can help, Brother Changqing's worry for the past ten years can be resolved.
……
After nightfall, I sat on the roof of the clinic and looked around.
You can see the warm lights of hundreds of homes.
Stars are scattered in the darkness, with a warm yellow halo, accompanied by the occasional barking of passing dogs, full of the desirable atmosphere of fireworks.
"What I have heard the most in recent years is about Da Rui."
Xu Gou gathered his clothes, folded his arms and lay on the roof, looking at the waxing moon hiding in the clouds in the night sky, "Great dynasty, wise monarch, peace and prosperity... Today I finally feel it's real. This is what peace and prosperity look like. There are laughter everywhere. Master, why do they love to laugh so much?"
Of course the master couldn't answer him.
So Xu Gou naturally took over the conversation, "It must be because they live too comfortably, unlike us, who are always in crisis... That's why our warriors have the wildness of wolves and the ferocity of eagles, all because they were forced to do so."
After saying this, he became bolder, raised his hand and poked the person next to him, chuckling, "Next time I lead the troops to attack that Yuan guy, with a surprise attack of one thousand, I can defeat his twelve thousand. Those people like Da Rui are all good-for-nothings who have been fed with good food and wine!"
Yan Changhuai leaned against the roof, holding a jar of wine in one hand, drinking towards the moon.
Baixiang wine, which is as famous as Baixiang tea, has a mellow taste and excellent taste.
But not strong enough.
He suddenly stretched out his lips and smiled, but his smile was silent and his eyes were filled with sadness.
Yan Changqing had been looking for him for ten years.
Everyone in the people of Da Rui knows about it.
The person his grandfather sent to escort him away from Buliu City said a lot of things.
He didn't believe it at all.
But so what?
Accept their apology, then turn around and cry about your resentment and grievances?
Don't make a fool of yourself.
No one knows how dark the road you walked was.
They will just say lightly that you have changed.
Each and every portrait depicts his original appearance.
The gentle and polite second prince.
The simple and shy second prince.
The elegant and mature second prince.
Each one is completely different from the him now.
How could it be like that?
People and things have long since changed beyond recognition.
"Master, I suddenly remembered that the portrait at the bottom of the box looks a bit like the first time I saw you. The facial features are half the same, but the aura is a little different. Am I crazy?"
A tentative word came from a good subordinate next to him.
Yan Changhuai lowered his eyes and looked at him coldly, then poked the bottom of the wine jar on his face.
The dog quickly hugged the wine jar, "...Hahaha, master, don't be angry, I was just joking and asked casually, why did you suddenly get angry?"
There is no doubt about it.
Isn't it you who's getting angry and embarrassed?
