: Counting the Heavens and the Earth and Counting the People’s Hearts

Xin Yi also saw Cheng Cang boarding the boat.

The wooden window was facing the shore, and he walked through the Sizhou Pier under the night sky. His tall body looked particularly energetic among the busy crowd.

"At this point, I think there is something urgent, right?"

She said something to herself, but saw Xiang Ling next to her blushing.

Poof! Xin Yi blinked slightly, "You can bring a pot of tea to the prince later."

Xiang Ling: "Sister..."

Seeing her shyness, Xin Yi beamed with joy, "It's just a pot of tea, why are you blushing? If you don't want to send it, then I'll ask Xingyuan to deliver it, Taoyu will do..."

"I'm going, I'm going, why don't I go?"

Xiang Ling didn't know her temper, so he gave her a shy and smiling look, twisted around and walked out.

Xin Yi sat at the wooden table by the window, looking at the vinegar fish on the plate and the fish soup in the cup, sighed, and called Xing Yuan.

"Take the vegetables and warm them on the stove. The prince will bring them out when he wants to eat. I will go to the third girl's place to eat."

The three children ate alone in the cabin, because Fu Jiuqu was so damn mysophobic that he would not feel awkward eating with anyone except Xin Yi. In order to take care of his face, Xin Yi had always been accustomed to this matter

Hold him.

Now that he refused to eat it, she went to use it with the child.

The ship was very large, loaded with supplies, and had many cabins. The three little ones were dining in the third room on the right. When Xinyi entered, the three little ones were eating, and there were fish soup and vinegar fish on the table.

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"Is the fish cooked by aunt delicious?"

When Yi Nian and Er Nian heard the voice, they put down their chopsticks to say hello.

San Nian's expression was languid, his movements were half a beat slower, his little face was flushed, he softly called "Mother" like a coquettish person, and then nothing happened.

"What's wrong?"

Xin Yi stepped forward and touched her forehead, which felt slightly warm.

"Is Sanbao feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No..." San Nian shook his head, leaning against Xin Yi like a pitiful little boy.

"Put your tongue out, Mom, take a look." Xin Yi held her chin and coaxed her in a gentle voice, "When we are sick, we can't hide it from Mom, and we can't turn a minor illness into a serious one."

Sannian stuck out his tongue obediently, saw Xin Yi frowning, and whispered:

"Sambo is not sick, but his head is dizzy. He will be fine after some sleep. I don't want my mother to worry."

"Silly child." Xin Yi put her little hand down, felt her pulse, and after a moment of silence, asked Xing Yuan to go to the warehouse, bring the medicine box over, find a bottle of pills, feed San Nian and take it, and let Tao Yu boil it.

Ginger soup.

"In a few hours, the city gate will open. Once you enter, the city lady will give you a prescription and go pick up the medicine."

Sannian nodded sensibly, drank a bowl of ginger soup as her mother asked, and then closed her eyes.

Xin Yi didn't dare to leave, so he ate some food casually and stayed in San Nian's room. When Yi Nian and Er Nian saw that their sister was sick, they sat aside obediently and stared at her nervously.

When Fu Jiuqu came in, Sannian had just broken out in a hot sweat, his face was red, and his hair was soaked.

"Xingyuan, go get hot water." Xin Yi ordered the girl while bending down to wipe the child's sweat. Yi Nian and Er Nian were also busy handing the veil to their mother.

The ladies were busy in a huddle, and Fu Jiuqu stood to one side and no one paid attention.

Fu Jiuqu coughed lightly, "What's wrong with San Nian?"

Only then did Xin Yi notice his presence and turned to look over, "She may have caught the cold from the commotion on the boat these days. I just took the medicine and let her sleep for a while..."

Fu Jiuqu passed over her belly calmly.

"Let them watch, and you go to rest early."

"The child may still have a fever in the middle of the night, so I have to keep an eye on him."

Xin Yi responded casually, then frowned and asked him as if he thought of something.

"Cheng Cang came to see you at this time, why?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her: "I've been away for a few days, and something strange happened in Sizhou City..."

As soon as he heard the strange thing, Xin Yi became interested, and his eyes were much brighter than before. Fu Jiuqu looked at her like that, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked back at Yi Nian and Er Nian.

"It's getting late, you two should go back to your room and go to sleep."

The two children heard that something strange had happened, and they were pricking up their ears to hear what was going on. Who would have thought that Uncle Fu would chase them away?

Although they were all curious, Yi Nian was obedient and responded obediently.

Er Nian looked at Fu Jiuqu and Xin Yi with a sad face.

"Mom, Uncle Fu, how could you treat a child like this... I'm so excited that I won't be able to sleep. If a child can't sleep, he won't grow taller and will get sick like my third sister."

Fu Jiuqu's face dropped, "What reason are you looking for? Go to bed quickly!"

Xin Yi saw Er Nian's mouth flattened, dissatisfaction written all over his face, and smiled softly.

"What Uncle Fu wants to say must be something that children cannot listen to. That's why he asked you to go down. If you listen to things that cannot be heard, then you won't be able to sleep."

"Mom..." Er Nian pouted when he saw that his mother didn't help him.

Xin Yi patted his back comfortingly and winked at Yi Nian.

"Go to bed, I have to get up early to study tomorrow."

He handed over his hand with a thought: "Yes, my son is resigning."

Er Nian was dragged down by his brother amid his whining.

After the two children disappeared, Fu Jiuqu turned away the two girls and told Xin Yi seriously.

"Cheng Cang said that there is a magic fortune teller in Sizhou City. He can calculate the heavens, the earth, and the hearts of the people. He can calculate everything."

Xin Yi didn't expect that he was talking about this and laughed softly.

"It's just bragging. Aren't these pretenders always like this? What's so weird about them?"

Fu Jiuqu fixed his solemn gaze on her.

"There is a wealthy family in Sizhou City. Their youngest son has been missing for more than a month, and the police have not found any trace of him for a long time. There are rumors that he was abducted by a kidnapper, but this magic fortune teller said that he was in the river, looking like a charred corpse...

He said, "There are eleven others in the river, all boys and girls."

Goosebumps popped out of Xinyi's skin, "Is it true?"

Fu Jiuqu said: "The family was dubious and hired people to salvage for three days. They actually pulled the corpses out of the river. There were a total of twelve charred corpses, which were neatly sunk in the river, as if they had been set on fire.

…”

Xin Yi pondered for a moment, "If I were an official in Sizhou, I would definitely send someone to arrest that magic teller immediately and find out the truth!"

"Caught."

Fu Jiuqu spoke in an understatement, but Xin Yi sensed something unusual from his tone.

"How to say?"

"The divine fortune teller explained that twelve boys and girls were burned to celebrate the birthday of the River God. As for who worshiped the River God, he could not calculate. He could only calculate that it was a man who did it. The man came from the southeast.

Come..."

Southeast of Sizhou?

Xin Yi subconsciously thought of Yangzhou where he was going.

"Then what happened to the fortune teller?"

"It was released the next day."

"Let him go so easily? Don't the officials suspect that he is seeking wealth and killing his life in order to fulfill his reputation as a fortune teller?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her and smiled coldly and charmingly.

"The divine fortune teller made a fortune for Zhizhou Lu Yongfu in prison, saying that Zhizhou's concubine had an affair with the housekeeper, and the concubine's son was not his biological child..."
