Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 206 Lucky Star
Yan Ci Wan put down the pigeon, opened the door and looked out, and saw Xiao Wang coming back. Not only that, he also brought Xiao Ke, Chao Lu and Uncle Jiu.

As soon as Yan Ciwan saw Chaolu, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Alu, you're here just in time. I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Zhaolu was delighted to see her friend was safe and sound. She ran over and asked, "What happened?"

She pulled Chaolu to the table and pointed at the pigeon lying on the table.

"Can you help me cure it?"

Zhaolu was a little embarrassed: "When I first studied medicine, I treated small animals such as cats, dogs and rabbits, but I have never treated birds. I am not sure if I can do it."

Yan Ciwan encouraged her: "Just give it a try, I believe you can do it!"

Zhaolu put the bag on her shoulder aside and rolled up her sleeves: "Please get me some hot water."

"it is good!"

Yan Ciwan ran out excitedly and saw Xiao Wang, Xiao Qi and Uncle Jiu still standing in the yard. Then she remembered that she had not yet said hello to Xiao Qi and Uncle Jiu, so she stopped and smiled brightly at them.

"Xiao Dalang, Uncle Jiu, welcome!"

Xiao Yu glanced at the east wing behind her and asked curiously, "What are you and Chao Erniang busy with?"

Yan Ciwan explained, "I found a wounded carrier pigeon and would like to ask A-Lu to help heal it. I have to go get some hot water. I won't chat with you guys for now. Bye."

After saying that, she ran out in a hurry.

Xiao Wang took Xiao Che and Uncle Jiu into the west wing. Uncle Jiu put the bags he and Xiao Che brought into the closet.

Xiao Wang felt very guilty: "Brother came to see me specially, but I ended up getting him involved in this case."

Xiao Qi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"Xie Zhishi is my superior. Now he has been murdered. Even if you are not here, I have to come here to check the situation."

Yan Ciwan walked very quickly and returned soon with a copper kettle filled with hot water in his hand.

She rushed into the east wing and poured hot water into the basin.

By now Chaolu had cut off all the feathers near the wound. She pulled the crossbow arrow out of the pigeon's body. She wet a handkerchief with hot water and carefully cleaned the blood around the wound.

Yan Ci Wan was afraid that she couldn't see clearly, so he lit the candlestick and placed it in front of her.

Zhaolu said, "Open my bag. There are medicines for treating external injuries."

Yan Ciwan immediately did as he was told. After opening the bundle, he found many bottles and jars inside and asked, "Which one is it?"

Chaolu looked up and said, "The red bottle."

Yan Ciwan picked up the red bottle, uncorked it and handed it over.

Chaolu sprinkled medicine powder on the pigeon's wound and then wrapped the pigeon with gauze. Because it was poisoned and unable to move, the entire rescue process went extremely smoothly and it did not struggle at all from beginning to end.

Chaolu went to wash her hands and asked, "Where did you get this pigeon?"

"This is the pigeon raised by Xie Li, the judicial officer. I just saw him using this pigeon to secretly communicate with people outside the mansion, so I shot the pigeon down. I will release it out of the mansion after it recovers. We should be able to find the person who communicated with Xie Li by following it."

Zhaolu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Yan Ciwan said sincerely: "Thank you, you came just in time."

Chaolu smiled shyly: "I saw that you haven't come back yet, and I was very worried, so I shamelessly insisted on coming to the governor's mansion with Xiao Dalang to find you."

Yan Ciwan asked about the situation of others.

Chaolu said truthfully: "My mother, Mrs. Xiao and others are still staying at Yunkelai. After Ah Yun was drugged, he rested in the inn for a day and has now recovered."

Yan Ciwan looked at the bundle beside him and asked, "Looking at your attitude, are you planning to stay here?"

Chao Lu nodded: "Well, we heard that you were involved in the murder of Governor Xie, so we also want to do our part to find the real murderer as soon as possible and help you clear the suspicion." "Has the Grand Master agreed to this?"

"Well, it was Xiao Dalang who came forward to talk to the head of the pavilion, and he has agreed to let us stay." Chaolu said this with a bit of embarrassment, and spoke cautiously. "I didn't even ask you what you thought, but you took the initiative to let us stay..."

Yan Ciwan took her arm and said with a smile: "Luckily you are here, otherwise the clue of the pigeon would definitely be lost. You are definitely my lucky star!"

Chaolu pursed her lips and smiled. She liked the feeling of being needed and affirmed.

"It's great to be of help to you."

Tuk Tuk!

Hearing the knock on the door, the two people in the room paused their conversation.

They all turned their heads to look at the door and saw Xiao Wang standing outside.

Xiao Wang asked them, "How is the pigeon's injury?"

Yan Ciwan motioned for him to come in and take a look for himself.

After getting permission, Xiao Wang walked into the room and saw the pigeon wrapped in a blanket. It seemed that its life was saved.

The three of them sat down by the brazier.

Yan Ciwan recounted the process of how he caught the pigeon.

Xiao Wang said in a deep voice: "Xie Li is colluding with outsiders, there must be some unknown secret hidden in it."

Chaolu speculated: "Could it be that Governor Xie knew their secret, so Xie Li killed them to silence them?"

Yan Ciwan touched his chin and said, "It is possible, but we must first find out who is secretly communicating with Xie Li and what they are plotting."

Chaolu looked at the pigeon again. She would only know everything after the pigeon recovered.

Yan Ciwan leaned back and complained, "Have you noticed that from Xiangzhou to Luzhou and then to Yizhou, every time we enter the city, we encounter a murder case soon after."

Xiao Wang added: "And you will be treated as a suspect every time."

Chaolu actually wanted to complain about this for a long time, but she was afraid that saying so would make Ning Ci unhappy, so she kept it to herself. Unexpectedly, Ning Ci would take the initiative to say it now.

Yan Ciwan smiled bitterly: "I am so unlucky that I have implicated you as well."

Zhaolu shook her head vigorously: "That's not true! It's not your fault, you are innocent. If you want to blame someone, you should blame the murderers. Don't blame yourself for this."

Yan Ciwan sighed: "I have been treated as a suspect three times in a row. I have to wonder if I have committed a crime of Tai Sui."

Xiao Wang took out a sachet from his sleeve pocket: "This is a sachet I made myself. It contains some spices that can calm the mind and spirit, as well as a peace amulet. Wear it and it may be of some use."

Yan Ciwan took the brocade bag, opened it and took a look. There was indeed a folded yellow talisman inside.

She looked at Xiao Wang and asked, "When did you ask for the amulet?"

“This is a lucky charm I drew myself.”

Yan Ciwan was surprised: "You can also draw talismans?"

Xiao Wang explained: "My master, Taoist Mo Dao, has been practicing Taoism for many years. I learned a lot of Taoist knowledge from him, including drawing talismans."

"Then can you perform rituals to exorcise ghosts?"

Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment before he said, "I have followed my master to do rituals in a Taoist temple, but I have never seen a ghost..."

Yan Ciwan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a big smile.

"It doesn't matter whether you've seen a ghost or not, as long as you can perform a ritual!"
