After coming out of the Yamen, Song Ye took Song Yan straight to Dongshi and started his day's patrol work.

Just after Song Ye had just rectified some irregularities in several small stalls, he suddenly heard someone shouting in a small alley next to Dongshi,

"It's gone, it's gone, please come quickly!"

There was actually a fire in broad daylight,

Song Ye is a street patrol officer. No matter what happens in the markets and streets he is responsible for patrolling, he must rush to the scene to inspect the situation as soon as possible.

Therefore, Song Ye immediately picked up Song Yan and ran towards the alley where the fire was.

Deep in the alley, thick smoke was seen drifting out from a small yard.

Song Ye was very familiar with this small courtyard, because this courtyard was where Uncle Shui Sheng, a villager from Qiuyu Village, once lived.

Two years ago, Uncle Shui Sheng's family fled to the south to avoid the war and never came back. Later, the Hundred Bone Demon Lord used the Whisper of the Wind God to destroy the village, but the damage to the Shui Sheng family's house and courtyard was not serious. , Song Ye also repaired it a little afterwards.

Later, when Yancheng began to be built, many craftsmen came in, and several craftsmen temporarily lived in this courtyard.

Until now, this small courtyard has not been demolished.

In fact, the entire alley where the small courtyard is located is equivalent to a small "slum area" in Yancheng. It belongs to an area where no large resources have been invested in construction. This place is not even marked on Yancheng's planning map.

When Song Ye rushed to the door of this small courtyard, a woman wearing a green skirt suddenly jumped out of the courtyard.

She hurriedly explained to the panicked neighbors around her, "It's okay, it's okay, the fire has been put out!"

Her face was darkened by the thick smoke, but Song Ye recognized her immediately.

"Murong Qingyi?" Song Ye asked unexpectedly, "Why are you here?"

Murong Qingyi looked at Song Ye, "Are you the yamen brother who showed me the way that day?! I live here!"

Song Ye was a little surprised to learn that Murong Qingyi originally lived here.

You know, her surname is "Murong". The Murong family is one of the four major cultivation families in Li country, but they are notoriously wealthy.

Many guests of the Murong family with foreign surnames can live in big houses and have groups of maids coming and going.

And she, a clan member with a blood relationship with the Murong family, was not only treated like a maid by Murong Jingtian and the others, but she was also arranged to live in such a place?

Although the place where he lives, Song Ye, is not much better than here,

But not far away, there is the private residence of Murong Jingtian and others in Yancheng. It covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, has gardens and hundreds of houses. It is impossible that there is not even a room for Murong Qingyi.

Obviously, Murong Jingtian and others were maliciously bullying Murong Qingyi for some unknown reason, and Murong Qingyi seemed to be accepting it without any intention of resisting.

Moreover, Song Ye had already explored her cultivation before. Her cultivation was the highest among Murong Jingtian and others. It was not that she was incapable of resisting them.

"Yes, why do you know that my name is Murong Qingyi?!" Murong Qingyi suddenly blinked his big curious eyes and asked,

Only then did Song Ye realize that he had accidentally let it slip. After all, they had only had a quick interaction before, and Murong Qingyi had never told him her name.

Song Ye learned her name from the exploration interface.

But it was not difficult for Song Ye to answer this question. He smiled and said, "Look at my clothes. I am an errand in a government office. It is very easy to know your name!"

"Then why are you looking up my name?" Murong still blinked her clear and bright eyes,

Song Ye immediately changed the subject and said, "Okay, now that the fire here has been put out, I have to continue to inspect other places!"

After saying that, he quickly ran away with Song Yan. When the neighbors saw that the thick smoke coming out of the yard was gradually getting less and less, they thought that nothing was wrong, so they all dispersed.

Just when Murong Qingyi was about to close the courtyard door and return to the house, a figure suddenly appeared blocking the door that was about to close.

Murong Qingyi looked back and saw a scrawny old man with white hair standing by the courtyard gate, leaning on a cane.

"Little girl, I came from far away and walked a long way. Can I come to your house and ask for a drink of water?" the old man said slowly,

Murong Qingyi saw that the old man had a kind-hearted look and was very skinny, which made people feel uncomfortable, so he did not doubt that he was there and said, "Of course!"

After welcoming the old man into the yard, Murong Qingyi went into the house to fill him with water.

When she came out of the house with a bowl of cold water, she saw that the old man had entered her kitchen without permission.

There was still some soot coming out of the kitchen. It was obvious that this was the kitchen that caught fire just now.

'Oops! ’

Murong Qingyi secretly screamed that something was wrong.

She immediately ran to the kitchen, but it was too late. Everything in the kitchen had already entered the old man's eyes.

The old man had a strange look on his face at this time. His pupils were dilated and the corners of his mouth were tilted to an exaggerated angle.

Where the old man looked, he saw a small alchemy furnace, and the thick smoke came from this furnace.

The old man suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the alchemy energy seeping out of the alchemy furnace, with an expression of great enjoyment.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since I smelled such wonderful elixir energy!”

Immediately, he turned back to look at Murong Qingyi, "Little girl, is this the elixir you made?"

The "criminal tools" were all discovered, and Murong Qingyi could only admit, "Yeah!"

Obviously, the fire was caused by an accident she accidentally caused while refining the elixir.

"What you are refining must be the marrow blood pill!" The old man still looked kind and kind.

Murong Qingyi looked surprised. She didn't expect that the old man would know what kind of elixir had just been refined in the furnace just by smelling a faint scent of elixir.

"Yeah!" She nodded again.

"Little girl, did you know that you have an excellent talent for alchemy? The furnace marrow blood pill you just made is better than those made by the so-called first-class alchemists!" The old man praised sincerely,

"Thank you. This is actually my first time trying to make this kind of elixir. I don't know if it is good or not. I accidentally almost set the whole room on fire!" Murong Qingyi said sarcastically,

"Can I take one of your marrow blood pills?" the old man begged Murong Qingyi,

Murong Qingyi was worst at rejecting people, so she nodded and said, "Yeah!"

After getting Murong Qingyi's permission, the old man suddenly pounced on the alchemy furnace, like a wild beast that had been hungry for a long time.

The old man quickly scooped up the three red marrow blood pills from the furnace and swallowed them into his stomach.

The old man clearly said he would only eat one, but he ate all the three in the stove.

Due to insufficient raw materials, Murong Qingyi could only refine these three marrow blood pills at one time. After all the hard work, he didn't eat any of them, and all of them ended up in other people's stomachs.
