The man with shifty eyes did not speak, but just stood there quietly. Shen Yan and the others glanced at the man and spoke.
"Then let's see if he can go into the mountains this afternoon."
When Lu Daxin saw that Shen Yan didn't say anything, he felt a sense of competition in his heart. He thought that Shen Yan must have seen this person somewhere before, but it was not convenient to reveal his identity now, so he kept silent.
"Your Excellency, it is difficult to enter the village this afternoon. It is cloudy today and there is thick fog on the mountain. If I force myself to enter the village, I cannot guarantee my safety."
After hearing Shen Yan's question, the man finally spoke. His voice sounded a little hoarse, but it was still pleasant and did not match his appearance.
After hearing what he said, Shen Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the clear sky outside, and then said with a smile.
"It's cloudy today? Then why is the sun still hanging in the sky?" Shen Yan said with a little sarcasm, but the man's expression did not change.
After hearing Shen Yan's question, the county magistrate smiled and responded: "Sir, please believe what this person said. This person was injured in his early years and has always had injuries on his legs. As long as his legs hurt today, nine out of ten times the weather is bad."
Hearing what he said, Shen Yan looked the man in the coarse cloth shirt up and down, and then he noticed that the man in front of him had a lame leg and walked with a limp.
Chen Yan put away his previous sarcastic tone and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know, but you sent me a message that there is fog in the mountains today, so we won't take the risk. Although it is more important to catch the murderer, personal life is also important."
Chen Yan bowed slightly to the man to express his apology, but did not insist that he must go to the Black Water Mountain today.
But fearing that they would have to wait another day like this tomorrow, Lu Daxin suggested, "It's getting late today, and this brother has a leg injury, so why not let him stay with us in this inn for one night? If the weather is good tomorrow morning, he can take us directly to Black Water Mountain."
Hearing Lu Daxin's proposal, Lu Wan and the others all expressed their agreement and looked at the county magistrate and the man.
Before the family could say anything, the man bypassed the county magistrate and spoke directly to Lu Daxin. He saluted in Lu Daxin's direction and said, "Then I'll trouble you all."
The county magistrate saw that the grown man had already spoken and it was not easy for him to say anything in rebuttal, so he said, "In fact, this man is also a distant relative of mine."
The county magistrate sighed as he spoke, and then continued, "Then I will leave my cousin to you gentlemen for the time being."
After finishing speaking, the shilling led Shen Yan and the others out of the government office and sent them to a post station not far from the government office.
"I will take my leave first." Then the county magistrate left and glanced at the man a few times before leaving.
After the county magistrate left, Lu Wan circled around the villager a few times and then asked, "What's your name? I can't keep calling you a villager, can I?"
The man quickly looked up at Lu Wan, then lowered his head and said, "My name is Zhang Cheng, and I'm a villager from Lushui River."
After sending him off, he stopped talking and stood aside waiting for Shen Yan, who would assign him a room.
There were still many unoccupied rooms in this small courtyard. Chen Yan glanced at him and said, "You can choose a room to live in. It's only for one night, so you can live there as you like!"
After saying this, Shen Yan looked at him for the last time, turned around and went back to his room. Seeing Shen Yan leave, Lu Wan and the supporting actress looked at each other and followed Shen Yan back to Shen Yan's room.
The two monks, Yelu Changqi and Yelu Changchen, were confused. They didn't know what had happened to these people. They just blindly followed Chen Yan and returned to the room.
After returning to the room, Lu Daxin asked hurriedly: "Why, is it someone you know? Why haven't I seen him before?"
After hearing what Lu Daxin said, Shen Yan shook his head and received: "Although I don't know him, he always gives me a very familiar feeling. I always feel that this person shouldn't be like this."
As soon as Shen Yan said this, Lu Wan immediately felt the same way. He also felt that the voice of the person in front of him did not match his own, and it felt like they were not the same person.
"He gives me a very similar feeling to a good friend of mine, but it's a pity that friend has died on the battlefield."
Chen Yan said with great regret and shook his head. His good friend was not called Zhang Cheng, but Chen Feixu.
That person has a special identity. He is a good friend whom I met at the border. That person is very interesting, but also gentle enough, and it is always difficult for people to dislike him.
That person is very talkative, unlike the person in front of him who is taciturn. That person loves beauty and cleanliness, and always likes to collect some very beautiful gems, jades and the like.
In short, he is a completely opposite person to the guy in front of him, but for some reason, these two people always give Shen Yan a very similar feeling.
The villager named Zhang Cheng was not staying quietly in the house he chose at this time, and there was no sign of his leg problems.
