"I do know a thing or two, those girls were brought back by Hua Gu from the tribes outside the territory, these tribes are good at riding and shooting, so the horses are not animals in their hearts, but partners, and even more, the horses are worshiped as gods, which shows how important the status is.
Tonight when they heard the horses talking, they thought they had offended the gods by their actions, and that was why they were so afraid.
Girl, am I right?
” "Master Cheng is well-informed, and sure enough, in one sentence," Yan Niang played with her hair and walked forward, "These women are also very pitiful, in order to make a living, they were taken out of their hometown by Aunt Hua, and came here to serve those stinky men, in the final analysis, it is all that Aunt Hua is hateful."
By the way, why didn't the adults bring her back to the house for interrogation, after all, she should not be able to get rid of the deaths of Zhang Dahu and Aunt Zhu. ” Cheng Muyou walked side by side with her, the shadows of the two were stretched slender by the moonlight, "I have no evidence in my hands, taking her back to the house for interrogation is destined to be in vain, at that time I just wanted to bluff her and extinguish her prestige, if I really want to arrest someone, I have to collect clues first, and I can't act recklessly."
But don't worry, girl, I have sent someone to find the bodies of Zhang Dahu and Aunt Zhu, and once there is news, I will definitely bring that Hua Gu to justice.
His pace slowed down, and there was hesitation in his voice, "It's just that I haven't figured out one thing, girl, why do you always come to my hands when I need help, whether intentionally or not, I always seem to be able to get help from girls in times of crisis." ” Yan Niang raised her eyebrows, "What do you think?"
” Cheng Muyou looked at her calmly, "To tell you the truth, I don't know." ” Yan Niang smiled, "Maybe it's because I have the same interests as adults, maybe there's no reason at all, it's just a coincidence, in short, I just helped, and I didn't ask for any benefits from adults, and adults just accept it with peace of mind." ” Cheng Muyou also smiled, the matter of Qi Fenglou was full of twists and turns, and now it was finally resolved satisfactorily, and his heart was extremely relaxed.
He strode forward, "Then I might as well be respectful, Brother Yan." ” As soon as Yan Niang walked into the gate of Jihong Embroidery Village, she was stopped by her right ear who had been waiting for her all night, "I changed into men's clothes, and I went out in a hurry, did I go to Qifeng Tower to attract bees and butterflies?"
” Yan Niang took a bowl of iced sour plum soup he handed over and took a sip gently, "It's not stupid." ” "What's that trick?"
"I was supposed to recruit it, but I was scared away again."
She flattened her mouth.
"Is it because of the Undead Flower?"
Yan Niang sneered, "Aunt Hua is cruel and tyrannical, there are countless bloody cases on her body, and the undead flowers are in her hands, and she will definitely be able to attract countless souls, you say, how good can the business of this Qifeng Tower be." ” Scratching her head in her right ear, "This Hua Gu has exhausted her thoughts, and she wouldn't have thought that it was you who had disturbed her, but you handed over the seeds of the Undead Flower to Xun'er, who are you going to recruit here?"
” Yan Niang stuffed the bowl into his hand, "Why do you have so many problems tonight, I'm tired, go back to the room first." ” The right ear followed up with two steps, "Your injury?"
” "Don't worry, this injury will heal soon."
Jiang Xixi and Liu Xuzhu sat in a wine shop not far from Yunhu Academy, exchanging information gathered by each other.
"He suspects that you deliberately lured him away, so he came back early, right?"
Liu Xujiao nodded, "This is the same as what you just said, there must be something hidden in his room that can't see people, that's why he is so vigilant, but what is that character?"
Can it get into your feet?
” Jiang Xixi lowered her head and pondered for a while, "Yan Niang said that it should be a book, a book that has sealed countless souls. ” "Books?"
Liu Xujiao's eyes lit up.
"What?
Do you remember anything?
Jiang Xi went over.
"My grandfather was a scribe, and his favorite thing was books, and his study was very large, but it still didn't fit the books he collected, and I remember when I was a child, my cousin and I used to go to the study, where books were piled up from the floor to the roof, filling the whole room.
The cousin was naughty, and often pushed those books from a high place, and the angry grandfather beat him up.
But although he beats, but never forbade us to go to the study, he always said that books are the essence of heaven and earth, the ancient and modern Mingjian, if you can be surrounded by the fragrance of books from an early age, you will be able to become a great tool in the future.
Suddenly, however, one day he did not allow us to go to the study, and not only that, but he also put a large lock on the door to keep us completely out. ” "Could it be that he, like the current Hu Zhun, has hidden something in the study that does not see people?"
"I can't see people's things, yes, there is something in the study, and you don't say that I forgot about him."
Liu Xuzhu looked at Jiang Xixi, but his gaze seemed to have penetrated her, returning to that winter night more than ten years ago.
My grandfather was very ill that winter, and he was bedridden all day, and he did not even enter the study for months.
That day, I was playing alone in the courtyard, but I saw my mother and the doctor who often came to see my grandfather come out of his room with a solemn face.
I stepped forward and grabbed the corner of my mother's clothes and asked softly what was wrong, but she was held in her arms, and she said, "Son, the doctor said that your grandfather is very sick and may not survive this winter."
Her tears soaked my hair and my heart wet, and I couldn't play anymore.
For the next few days, I stayed at my grandfather's couch, staring intently at his old pale face, listening carefully to his faint breathing, for fear that if I was not careful, I would lose him forever and never be found again.
But he fell asleep like this, day after day, and his mother was very worried, and she was afraid that her grandfather would fall asleep, and she would not even leave her last words to herself.
I suddenly remembered the books in that room, and remembered that my grandfather had said that these books were his life's work, and that they were the most important thing in his heart wherever he went.
A thought crossed my mind that if I read the book to my grandfather, maybe he would wake up.
Thinking of this, I rushed out of the room and ran towards the study, but the door of the study was firmly locked by an iron lock, and I could not push it open.
I thought that my mother might have a key there, so I turned to leave, but the moment I turned my head, I saw a red light in the study, as if someone had lit a candle on the desk.
I looked at the big lock on the door, and yes, it was locked from the outside, and there was no sign of it being opened, but if so, how did the man get into the house?
I walked lightly, tiptoed up the stone steps, and little by little to the window, looking through the hollowed out window.
