After dinner, Ziyun and Zhuge Leng called Su Fang out of the guest room, and Ziyun said with a smile: "It's not a secret, we called Miss Su here because we had some questions to ask." ”

Su Fang didn't know why: "Guest officer, please ask, as long as I know." ”

"I would like to ask Miss Su to tell me about what happened a year ago, and what happened after you went up the mountain a year ago. ”

Hearing this, Su Fang's face changed greatly: "Guest officer, what are you ......?"

Ziyun waved his hand and said: "Miss Su, we just came back from the Temple of the Goddess in the afternoon, and then we learned that Miss Chen was indeed attacked by evil spirits a year ago and was rescued by the seventh uncle of the temple, but the seventh uncle has been missing since then. And you know the current situation of Miss Chen, and the token left in the inn is not a vulgar thing. ”

Su Fang was surprised, first of all, she didn't know about Chen Yao's ghost, because the goddess temple concealed it, she always thought that Chen Yao was just injured. Secondly, she didn't know about the disappearance of the seventh uncle, in order not to panic the people in the town, the goddess temple master and brother could only lie that the master was out, and everyone didn't care about it at first, but it was almost a year since the seventh uncle came back, and there were only a few words of gossip.

In the end, it is the token of the Wang family, the old shop of the Su family is a family that has not even been out of Shiqiao Town, where do you know the things on the rivers and lakes, what four families, five major sects are just listening to the chatter between listening to the ears of the passengers, and the details of the situation are unknown. If this matter had something to do with the pair of guests she had met, then Su Fang's guilt would be even deeper.

Su Fang looked at Ziyun and asked, "Guest officer, do you really have a way to save Chen Yao?"

Ziyun shook his head: "I'm not sure, and I don't know what happened at the beginning, so I can only say do my best." ”

Su Fang nodded and said everything she knew. In fact, the matter is very simple, after the disappearance of the mysterious guest, although the people of the Su family were frightened for a few days, but with the passage of time, it was nothing. After that, Su Fang, Chen Yao, and Xiao Ziyuan and other young people in the town invited each other for a picnic.

Everyone grew up together, Su Fang and Chen Yao are good friends, and at the same time they love Xiao Ziyuan of the Xiao family in the kiln factory, seeing that everyone is old enough to talk about marriage, Su Fang finally couldn't bear it, and after everyone got together, he found an excuse to take Chen Yao away, and lied to everyone that Chen Yao had gone down the mountain, taking this opportunity to be alone with Xiao Ziyuan, and then expressing his love.

In her opinion, everyone has played on this mountain since childhood, and when Chen Yao came back, she found that everyone was gone, and she just went down the mountain by herself, and there would be no changes. It was also at that time that she and Xiao Ziyuan really established a relationship. Although she felt guilty about her friends, when she thought of lifelong happiness, Su Fang was ruthless.

But I didn't expect that the news I heard later turned out to be that Chen Yao had lost her foot and injured herself, which made Su Fang feel extremely uncomfortable. I wanted to visit my home many times, but I was dissuaded by good words. Then it was rumored that Chen Yao went crazy.

And after that, the relationship between her and Xiao Ziyuan grew by leaps and bounds, and the two sides got married in just one year, in fact, everyone is familiar with it, and there is nothing to discuss. But Su Fang fell into self-blame because of this, if it weren't for her deception, Chen Yao would not have been left alone on the mountain, let alone go crazy because of a fall and injury. In fact, compared with net worth, in the eyes of the Xiao family in the kiln factory, the Chen family who opened the grain store is a little better than the Su family who opened the inn, which means that Chen Yao is normally more acceptable to her in-laws than Su Fang.

But now in such a situation, not only is Chen Yao crazy, but he also married Ruyi Langjun, and he took away the happiness that should have belonged to Chen Yao, Su Fang stubbornly thinks so this year. If it was fair competition, maybe she wouldn't be like this, but seeing Chen Yao's crazy appearance wielding a knife, and the disgusted look of all the townspeople. Su Fang felt more and more that she had harmed her friends, and even her friend's family, so that the Chen family could not raise their heads in Shiqiao Town.

The closer you get to the wedding, the deeper this guilt becomes. After confiding in Ziyun and Zhuge Leng, Su Fang couldn't hold back any longer, tears slipped down and sobbed in a low voice. She's been driven crazy this year. Because he didn't dare to confide in anyone, everyone didn't know that Chen Yao was stranded on the mountain because of himself. Whether it's a loved one or a future husband.

Looking at the warm town, the festive people, and the crazy best friends, Su Fang, who could only torture her conscience alone, could do nothing but cry silently. Now that I can talk to these two outsiders, I feel a little better.

Knowing this part of the process, Ziyun nodded, it seems that Su Fang's part has little to do with this matter, so the focus is still on the crazy Miss Chen family.

The rain outside stopped, and while the three of them in the inn were telling their past, a figure stood outside the window of a house in Shiqiao Town.

This family is the family of the woman holding the child in the bazaar, and the child is still crying for several days, and the family has no way to do it. When the woman saw that the child's lining was wet again, she laid the child on the bed and went out to find it clean.

At this time, the window slowly opened, and it was the crazy woman Chen Yao standing outside, her slightly wet and scattered hair proved that she had come in the rain, she turned over and entered the house, one hand still had a blood-stained knife. She came to the bedside and looked at the crying child, and then the knife fell.

……

Although there was a lot of rain the day before, it was a good day to turn around, and the old Su family store also began to prepare, tomorrow is a good day for Su Fang to get married, Su Dad even dug up his daughter Red who had been buried in the yard for more than ten years, and the women in the neighborhood also came to help, Su Cheng, this kid, was still heartless, running before and after playing, and taking away a piece and a half of the prepared food.

Su Fang's mood also improved a little, maybe Ziyun gave her hope, maybe she could really cure Chen Yao's madness. Although she is also skeptical, she can only hope for this.

It has been said before, this morning Ah Shou came to the inn to find Ziyun and Zhuge Leng, and the three of them went to the Chen family's grain store together. On the way, Ah Shou also said that the affairs of the Chen family were simple.

The head of the Chen family, Master Chen, is a single family member, and there is a habit in the town that the babies born that year will be ranked in order, and Master Chen is the sixth born that year, so the same generation is called Chen Lao Liu, and the younger generation is also called the sixth uncle. Of course, this is a common title in the town, and if it is a big family like the Xiao family of the kiln factory, it also has a different title.

The Chen family has three children, the eldest daughter Chen Ying and the second daughter Chen Yao were both born to Mr. Chen's ex-wife, but Mrs. Chen later died of illness, and then Mr. Chen married another one, which gave birth to the youngest son Chen Li.

As for the family relationship, it is good, and the stepmother can't say how good it is for Boss Chen's two daughters, but it's definitely not bad. After all, the town is so big, if there is a stepmother who treats her daughter harshly, the Chen family's face will not be good. Besides, there are only two girls on the left and right, and when they are old, they will give a dowry. gave birth to the only son of Boss Chen, everything in the Chen family belongs to the son in the end, and the mother does not have to be a villain in vain.

After the eldest daughter got married, Chen Yao slowly reached her age, and she became more and more smart, and the people in the town thought that she could achieve good things with the big Xiao family, but it turned out to be such a thing.

Zhuge Leng suddenly asked, "Since this is the case, didn't the Chen family think about disposing of this daughter?"

"Xiao Leng. Ziyun scolded him, which was too straightforward.

Ah Shou heard the meaning, and said directly: "It's nothing, in fact, the Chen family has not been easy this year, after all, Master Chen feels sorry for his daughter, if Chen Yao hadn't made too much trouble, they wouldn't have tied her up, and they didn't get enough to see a doctor and take medicine, but it didn't get better." And everyone in Shiqiao Town knows the roots, even if outsiders come, they can't hide anything. Don't look at everyone who says that the Chen family is not, but if they really do something that they shouldn't do, I'm afraid that the town won't be able to tolerate them. ”

Ziyun nodded and understood what Ah Shou meant, it is true that the Chen family feels sorry for their daughter, everyone knows each other, and naturally there is no one in the local area who is willing to marry Miss Chen, that is, from other places, and they all know what happened after a little inquiry. As for the secret of death or abandonment, it is difficult to hide it here. Don't look at everyone's accusations against Miss Chen, but if you really do this, you can imagine what kind of person you are like when you do this to your own daughter, and the whole town will not be able to tolerate the Chen family at that time.

Zhuge snorted coldly: "Hmph, hypocrisy." ”

Ziyun shook his head: "I haven't suffered from others, don't persuade people to be generous, Xiao Leng, these people are just ordinary people, and it's not easy." ”

After that, they talked about Miss Chen's illness again, at first Chen Yao did shout that he had bumped into a ghost, and he couldn't stop calming him, but then Uncle Seven used a talisman to dispel the evil spirit, and Chen Yao was quiet for a while. Later, she was still shouting that there were ghosts, and she didn't get better, so she could only be a medicine to calm her nerves, and she gradually stopped crying over the years, but she went to the street every once in a while to swing a knife and cut people.

Zhuge Leng suddenly asked, "Then how many did she cut and wound?"

Ah Shou recalled: "In this way, it seems that she has never cut anyone. ”

Ziyun was also puzzled: "Xiao Leng, why do you ask that?"

"Actually, the day before yesterday ......"

When she met Chen Yao wielding a knife and slashing people, it was Zhuge Leng who subdued her and reluctantly fought with her, her strength and speed did not exceed that of an ordinary woman, but in the indiscriminate swinging of the knife, there was a faint inclusion of some kind of discipline, but if you really want to say what kind of knife technique she is, it doesn't look like it, it is all straight hard moves.

The most important thing is that no one paid attention to it at that time, although she was an ordinary person, the knife was fast and ruthless, and when everyone didn't react, she had already swung two or three knives in a row, and Hao Laosi, who sold meat, attacked her with his back and missed, and now thinking about it, it is very problematic.

Ziyun and Ah Shou didn't expect to have such a stubble, and they felt more and more that Chen Yao's madness was not simple, so the three of them quickened their pace and came to the Chen family's grain store, only then did they know that Boss Chen had gone to buy goods, because the distance was not far, and he should have come back yesterday. It's just that the sudden rain showers yesterday afternoon delayed it, and I guess I should be back this afternoon. After all, tomorrow is the wedding banquet for the Xiao family, a big family in the town, to marry a new daughter-in-law, and Boss Chen has to attend it no matter what.

came to the back house of Boss Chen's house, and it was the current Mrs. Chen who entertained them, and fortunately it was Ah Shou who came with Ziyun and Zhuge Leng, or two strangers came to ask about Chen Yao, and caught up with Master Chen's absence, Mrs. Chen would never let them in.

When I heard that it was about Chen Yao again, Mrs. Chen's face was embarrassed, in her early years, she was counting on this girl to be able to marry a big family like the Xiao family, which would also be good for her son, who would have thought that she would become a crazy woman in the town. Not to mention his reputation, how to deal with it is also a trouble. Now even many parents of children don't let their children play with their sons, is their son wronged?

Mrs. Chen said: "Brother Shou, it's not that my aunt doesn't believe you, this is the situation of the second girl in my family, you also know the ...... that Uncle Seventh also showed it to you" This pair of young men and girls doesn't look like capable people no matter how you look at it.

Ah Shou assured: "Aunt Liu, don't worry, these two friends of mine are from famous families, not only have vast magical powers and are highly cultivated, but also well-informed. To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that their master had a little relationship with my master, these two Taoist friends would not have made a special trip to us, which is something that they can't ask for for any amount of money. Moreover...... Miss Chen is already like this, how bad can the situation be?"

Mrs. Chen thought to herself, and besides, it was not the first time that Ah Shou had come to the door, but although Master Chen was sometimes annoyed with Chen Yao's crazy form, he would beat her with a bamboo stick, but after the beating, he felt sorry for his daughter, and hurriedly gave him medicine, and then secretly wiped his tears behind someone's back. If this is to let him know that there is a stranger secretly contacting, after thinking about it, he said, "The master is not here now, why don't you wait for him to come back?"

At this time, Ziyun said: "It's normal for Madam to be worried, this treatment is not overnight, we will naturally discuss the details with Master Chen later, but we haven't seen Miss's illness yet, and we don't dare to make judgments, just ask Madame to let the two of us see each other, with Taoist friends as companions, how about we not offend Miss Chen?"

Ah Shou also took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Aunt Six, even if you don't treat it now, you have to take a look." When the time comes, when Uncle Chen comes back, we can also come up with an explanation. ”

After all, Mrs. Chen is a small-town woman, and she has no opinions, but she is afraid that something will really happen. I want to let them see it, what if the old man gets angry? But if you don't see it, if these two people really have the ability, if the treatment is delayed, the old man will not spare himself.

But then I think about it, there won't be anything with Ah Shou present. The Seventh Uncle and apprentice of the Temple of the Goddess did have a reputation in the town, so she asked carefully, "Just to see?"

"Well, just looking. ”

Mrs. Chen took the three of them to a small room in the backyard, which was originally used to store sundries, but now it is used to lock Chen Yao. Not only was there a big lock on the door, but even the two windows were nailed by wooden boards, but the strange thing was that Chen Yao could always run out of the house.

After opening the house, I saw that Chen Yao was really tied up with a rope in the house.

Mrs. Chen probed her brain with palpitations, and Ziyun smiled: "Xiao Leng, it's inconvenient for us to move, you can take Miss Chen's pulse." Mrs. Chen has to watch from the sidelines, so as not to make any mistakes?"

Mrs. Chen was frightened, she had seen Chen Yao's terrifying appearance of swinging a knife and slashing people, although she was just staying there silently now, but who knew when she would get sick again, she hurriedly said: "No, no need, you watch first, I'll go to the front yard to have a look, Brother Shou and your two friends will stay for dinner at noon today, and my aunt will prepare for you." With that, he left.

Ziyun shook his head, and Zhuge Leng was not diagnosing the pulse, but clasped Chen Yao's wrist for a moment, Chen Yao also recognized this woman who had subdued herself, just now she was still wondering, how could someone come in when it was not time to deliver the food?

Just when Chen Yao was puzzled, Ziyun said: "Miss Chen, don't be suspicious, I know that you are not crazy at all, we are here to help you......"
