"I'll go in and have a look."
After listening to Fan Yin's words, Jiang Xixi walked towards the Yu family, she forgot for a while that she had come here to take refuge, and she was no longer a female catcher, so she just wanted to go in and investigate the matter clearly.
"Hey, how can you trespass into someone's house?"
Fan Yin followed behind and grabbed her.
Jiang Xixi remembered his identity at this time, smiled awkwardly, and was about to step down the steps with Fan Yin, but at this moment, the door of Yu's Mansion was opened again, and more than a dozen servants came out of it, each holding a stack of bamboo trays in their hands.
The tray was covered with dots of blood, and from a distance, it looked like the green eyes of a mouse.
"This is a tray for raising silkworms, look at it like this, all the silkworms should have been eaten by rats," Fan Yin shook his head and sighed, "But, where did so many rats come from, they can bite so many silkworms to death, and besides, the Yu family has more than a dozen big cats, how dare these rats still make trouble here." ” As he spoke, a figure sitting on a four-wheeled bicycle appeared inside the door, staring at the trays stained with silkworm blood, his face pale, and his eyes showing sadness.
"No injury, why don't you come out without putting on a piece of clothing, it's windy at night, be careful of catching a cold."
Fan Qing, who had been silent, walked into the courtyard door neatly, and the tenderness in her eyes was almost overflowing.
"You're here too," a wry smile appeared on Yu Wuxian's face, "It seems that the dreams of the whole town have disturbed the affairs of the Yu family." ” "What the hell is going on?
How did so many rats come all of a sudden?
Fan Qing was a little anxious.
"Come in and have a hot cup of tea, I'll tell you slowly."
Saying that, Fan Qing pushed the four-wheeled cart towards the depths of the house, Jiang Xixi seized the opportunity and pulled Fan Yin forward in three or two steps, "We are also a little thirsty, can we ask for a cup of tea." ” "This girl seems to have never been seen before."
Yu Wuxian looked at Jiang Xixi, who was drinking tea, and smiled lightly.
"She's a distant cousin of mine, and she's come to live in Tamsui for a while."
Fan Qing said one step ahead of her.
Jiang Xixi guessed that Cheng Muyou must have asked the Fan family not to reveal his identity to others in the letter, so he nodded yes with a smile.
"What the hell is going on?
I'm dying, unharmed, and tell me the truth quickly.
Fan Qing put down the teacup and asked with a frown.
Yu Wuxian was just about to speak, when a servant walked in outside the door, holding a half-human-high sack in his hand, and blood seeped out of the bag.
"Young Master, what should we do with these cat corpses?
Do you just throw it away?
” Yu Wuxian's eyelids drooped, and he bit his lip, "Let's take it to the mountains and find a piece of land to bury it, after all, they have also protected the Yu family for so many years." ” The servant said yes, turned around with the bag and wanted to leave, but Yu Wuxian stopped him from behind, "How is my mother-in-law, are you frightened?"
” "The old lady is asleep and hasn't woken up, don't worry."
Fan Qing stood up from the chair, a pair of peach blossom eyes widened, "So many cats, all dead?"
” "Tonight, the old slave who kept vigil heard something strange in the silkworm room, so he went to check with the lamp, and before he reached the door, he found that all the more than a dozen cats raised by the Yu family were dead by the door, and each of them had been bitten off their necks.
Walking into the room, by the light, he saw that every silkworm room was crawling with dense mice, which were frantically devouring silkworms, and what was even more strange was that when these beasts saw him come in, they were not only not afraid of people, but also ran straight at him and bit off one of the old slave's noses on the spot. ” Fan Qing rubbed her arms in fright, "So many rats, it's disgusting." ” "And how were these rats driven away?"
Fan Yin was calmer than her sister.
"This is even more strange, according to the old slave, he covered his bloody face and ran towards the inner courtyard, and the rats chased after him, and they came in a surge, like a river at high tide, but suddenly, as if they had received some command, they stood with their feet erect and their ears pricked up, and then they retreated en masse, and in a few moments there was no more shadow of a mouse in the whole courtyard."
Jiang Xixi's eyes rolled: Isn't this scene exactly the same as what he encountered?
It seems that every attack of these rats is indeed directed by something, but, what is this thing, is it silkworm?
"Could it be a silkworm?"
Someone immediately helped her declare what she thought in her heart, Fan Qing had already walked to Yu Wuxian's side, holding his hand as if no one was around, she was like a frightened bird, in urgent need of others' comfort.
Yu Wuxian was obviously touched by this wisp of weakness, he patted the back of Fan Qing's hand lightly twice, and his pale face hung on that faint smile again, "Don't be afraid, the silkworm is just a legend in the end, and it will become more and more evil as soon as it is passed on to the hundred, I think, it is this old slave who is frightened and confused, so he is a little delirious when he speaks, don't worry, even if there is a rat infestation now, we have a way to deal with it, and there will never be another big epidemic like ten years ago." ” When they walked out of the Yu family, it was already the second watch, and Jiang Xixi and Fan Yin's steps stepped on the stone road, making a crisp sound of "clacking".
"Why doesn't Sister Fan Qing go with us?"
She stared at her shadow, and her mind once again showed the appearance of Yu Wuxian looking at Fan Qing, his eyes were full of love but pure like a pool of still water, straight to the bottom, without the slightest blasphemy.
However, he took her as a real treasure, but she trampled his true heart in the mud.
Fan Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "You can't tell, the two of them are the one," she put her two ten fingers together, "Everyone in the town knows." ” "Then what is she doing in the Yu family, after all, she is not married, and it is always bad to stay all night."
Jiang Xixi stared down at the vamp.
"Just because the man is Yu Gongzi, so there is no gossip, you can also see, he is a legless person, what can he do, so the two of them are together, that is, Fan Qing accompanies him all night to talk and read, don't think too much."
Fan Yin said this lightly, there was absolutely no irony, but Jiang Xixi was very uncomfortable in his heart: Yu Wuxian and any woman can't gossip, this is a tacit fact that the people of Tamsui Town acquiesce, but sometimes, it is these things that are taken for granted, but they can hurt people even more, he is in people's subconscious, he is a man who is not a man, this kind of thing is just an established fact for others, but for the parties, I am afraid it is like a knife that has been blunted, Although the cut does not bleed, it is the same pain in the heart.
However, he still accepted it, and turned these innate discrimination into an indifferent smile, which often hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Last time, you said that this kind of flower will bloom when you meet a fateful person, and in Tamsui Town, only Yu Gongzi can pick it, what do you mean?"
