Duan Zhen'er sorted out Xun'er's clothes and utensils one by one, brought him a few packs of snacks, and also loaded a few bamboo cats and slingshots that she personally made for him, and then handed over the huge burden to Jiang Xixi, and said with a smile, "There are too many things, a little heavy, it's troublesome girl." ” Xun'er took her hand, "It's just that I went to live at my grandfather's house, and it's not that I won't come back, auntie, if you miss me, you can come to me at any time." ” Zhen'er squatted down and gently stroked his round head, "I wanted to go out, but your grandfather wouldn't let me, and even your father wouldn't help me speak, so I think I can only be trapped under this four-corner sky." ” Jiang Xixi smiled at her, "Third Miss, don't worry, the adult has already told the master, when the thief is caught, he will not detain you all day, you wait patiently for a few more days, when the time comes, where can you go." ” Duan Zhen'er nodded, "I also hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible, not for myself, but for the second sister, six years have passed, and the murderer has not been caught, so she must be difficult to let go in the sky." ” Jiang Xixi comforted on the side, "Don't worry, this day should not be far away." ” As soon as they walked out of the inner courtyard, they saw Li Shen coming in from outside with a little girl with a vegetable-looking face, her eyes were closed, her hair was unkempt, and she only had one breath left to hold on and not die.
"Brother Li, what's wrong?
Who is she?
Duan Zhen'er stepped forward, she looked at the little girl in Li Shen's arms, her face was full of sympathy.
"I don't know where the little beggar who escaped, he fainted from hunger in front of our house, and the master asked me to bring it in and take care of it for a few days."
Li Shen hurriedly hugged the little girl and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Duan Zhen'er sighed, "This girl looks the same age as me, but she is so pitiful, it can be seen that I feel that I am trapped at home by my father every day, and I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness." ” "Auntie, you said that the beggar that Uncle Li was holding was the same age as you?"
Xun'er's voice came, and it was no longer crisp, but a little timid.
"Isn't it?
She looks like she's in her prime, and she should be about a year old from me. ” Xun'er bit her lip and hid behind Jiang Xixi little by little, "Less than a year old with you?"
I clearly saw that Uncle Li was holding an old woman, and her hair was gray."
Duan Zhen'er and Jiang Xixi laughed at the same time, and Jiang Xixi even raised two fingers and waved them in front of his eyes, "Why is it so young, my eyes are so flowery, I can't even tell the age." ” Xun'er was teased by the two of them, but she was not angry, but ran out from behind Jiang Xixi, and chased towards the inner courtyard in three steps and two steps, "It's obviously an old lady, she is still glaring at me, and her eyes are very fierce." ” But as soon as he ran a few steps, he was dragged by Jiang Xixi, "Whether it's the old lady or the little girl, we have to go, the carriage is already outside the door, and your grandfather is waiting for you to go back at home." ” The midsummer night was a bit cool, the sky was clear, the moonlight was white, and the courtyard was gilded with a layer of silver ash.
Duan Zhen'er sat in front of the window, staring at the moonlight, but her thoughts drifted into the distance unconsciously: there was a dead person in Bianliang City recently, although her father didn't tell her, but she still learned about it from the discussions of the servants, and I heard that it was a girl from the streamer building who was killed, and the skin on her whole body was missing when she was found, the same cause of death as the second sister.
That's not all, when Li Shen came back from outside today, his eyes flickered a little, she asked him if there was another accident outside, he only kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything, but from his demeanor, Zhen'er could guess one or two, there must be another woman who was peeled, he couldn't help but be afraid, so he hid it from her.
Duan Zhen'er looked into the distance, it seemed that the murderer who killed the second sister six years ago had come to Bianliang to commit the crime again, she thought that the incident that happened in Xin'an was just an example, but she didn't think that he would come to Bianliang so quickly, and he killed two people at once.
Who is he, and why is he so bold and dares to commit another crime in the capital six years later?
This kind of behavior is simply a blatant provocation to the official authority, or is it that he is confident that he has this ability and can easily get out under the strict defense of the government office.
And judging from the current situation, that person has obviously not been caught, otherwise my brother-in-law would not have been away from home all day and has been patrolling outside, but in this dignified Bianliang City, the prosperous Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty, where can he hide as a murderer who has killed countless people?
Thinking of this, Duan Zhen'er was in a mess, she was impatient, and a layer of fine sweat beads floated on her head, she simply stood up, walked to the basin and washed her face, just about to wipe it clean, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the courtyard.
She was shocked, and blurted out two words in her mouth, "Eldest sister." ” The man didn't respond, he walked towards the windowsill step by step, and walked to the window, Duan Zhen'er saw clearly that she was the little girl who was rescued by Li Shen today, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's you, do you feel better." ” The little girl's face didn't move, and her tone was very stiff, "Thank you Miss for your concern, my body is fine." ” After saying that, she walked straight into Duan Zhen'er's boudoir and picked up the exquisite enamel colored rouge boxes on her table to play with.
Duan Zhen'er didn't take her abruptness to heart, a little girl who fled from the army, it was normal for her to not understand the rules, so she smiled, "Do you like these rouge gouaches?"
It's all made in our family, and I don't need it on weekdays, I just put it here for a show, and if you want it, I'll give it to you. ” The little girl stiffened her neck, a meaningful smile oozed from her face, she looked at Duan Zhen'er, and her smile became stronger and stronger, "These things really can't get into my eyes, I have a good thing here, let the girl try it, use it, you will know that these rouge gouaches from your family are just some vulgar things that can't be put on the table." ” Duan Zhen'er was stunned by what she said, thinking that this little girl's tone is not small, no matter what they say Yuchunlin, they can be regarded as one of the best incense powder shops in the country, how can they get to her, they will become garbage goods that cannot be put on the table, but she is not angry, and only stretched out a palm to her, "If the girl really has good things, take them out for me to see, Zhen'er is shallow, I really want to see what treasures the girl has." ” "Do you really want to see it?"
When she said these four words, a meaningful light flashed in her eyes, which made Duan Zhen'er's heart tighten suddenly, but the words she said were difficult to take back, and she stretched out her palm forward again, "Please also ask the girl not to hide it deeply." ”
