笛花 Dihua/Feihua prompt fill for @kingsandbastardz
The groupchat had a burst of inspiration from @lyselkatz's post-canon fanart of silver-haired Li Lianhua and bearded A-Fei, and wanted to play around a little.
[Being officially dead doesn't mean they no longer solve problems. Dead bodies keep appearing with distressing regularity.]
-----
Normally, a dead body found in the streets of Jia Town isn't their problem. But three bodies scattered in different places in one night? Even Li Lianhua's old fox ears begin to twitch as the news breezes through the morning market bustle.
“Don't,” Di Feisheng warns, as his husband stops to inspect some radishes being sold by Sun Erniang and ever so casually inquires about the strange nature of the injuries found on all three corpses.
She claims she doesn't know much, but the excruciating detail with which she is able to describe the blood which was seeping from the corpses’ eyes, nose, and ears, and the bloom of black bruising on their necks when they were discovered, means that the farm wife rumor mill has been hard at work.
After he's wrung out every last scrap of detail that Sun Erniang knows—for her neighbor's cousin’s brother-in-law works at the local yamen—Li Lianhua turns and deposits an armful of radish and cabbage in the woven basket Di Feisheng is holding. The farmer has been well-rewarded for her information, he observes.
Li Lianhua turns, bidding her a good day. He cozies up to Di Feisheng, relieving him of the basket and uses the excuse of steering him through the crowd to hang off his arm so they can convene in low tones.
“So, A-Fei,” says Li Lianhua lightly. “Do you think this is the Qiankun Wudu Shou 乾坤五毒手 or the Tiangang Xuanwu Zhi 天罡玄武指?”
Di Feisheng strokes his beard thoughtfully. Since his retirement from Jianghu ten years ago, between the travels, the sunsets, and the chores to do around Lotus Tower, he's managed to amass quite the collection of esoteric martial arts tomes. Between the two of them, there's not a single technique that can escape their discerning eye, but that doesn't mean that the old fox should be poking his snout where it doesn't belong. If the Emperor ever gets word that Li Lianhua yet lives…well, Di Feisheng doesn't need to remind his husband of how suddenly the quiet life they've managed to lead will come to a juddering halt.
“I'd have to see the bodies myself to know for sure,” Di Feisheng hears himself saying, even though he knows where this is going to lead.
“Exactly what I was thinking,” Li Lianhua agrees, with a mischievous grin playing about the corners of his mouth. “The yamen is that way,” he says, nudging Di Feisheng to turn right down the next street.
“Don't worry,” Li Lianhua continues, before Di Feisheng can even open his mouth to voice his concern. “Sun Erniang’s neighbor’s cousin's brother-in-law works there. They won't tattle on us.”
Di Feisheng merely grunts, and lets his husband lead him onto the next mystery. It's only been a week since the last one. He begins to wonder whether they are somehow cursed, or if his husband is just terrible at minding his own business. Perhaps it's a bit of both.

MYSTERY SOLVED!
I've been wondering for a decade now where was Dominic Cooper (credited as "Allington") in Band of brothers and finally spotted him after an umpteenth rerun of "Currahee"!
He's the one in line after Bill in the spaghetti army noodle scene!

It has been bugging me since ShûiLóngYín started filming.
YáoYao's costume reminds me of a Pili Puppet 霹靂布袋戲 character I liked but I couldn't remember her name. It finally came back to me last night, 別見狂華 a female assassin guardian of the demon realm in the serie 霹靂兵燹之刀戟戡魔錄. Took a couple of pictures from my Pili artbooks and Magazines.
I even have some fanarts of her from 2005 in my piles of old sketchbooks. Her character design immediately caught my eyes, as YáoYao's styling on the camera booting ceremony of SLY did.
The urge to rewatch my most beloved Pili series and maybe catch up with those I missed but there's so many seasons already I don't thinks I have the time and spoons to do it.
