When Qi Yi went out, he closed the door gently.

Zhu Yuanyu, who was sitting on the bed, was not sleepy, he remembered the whereabouts of Li Zhuangzhuang and Cui'er in his heart, and even Qi Yi, who had just gone out, began to regret it...... He felt that he should go with him, in case none of the three talismans were of any use to him.

But—

Zhu Yuanyu lowered his eyes and glanced at his feet, his shoes had been taken off, and the bright bow seemed to remind him to pay attention to his foot injury.

The initiator was not there, Zhu Yuanyu remembered his awkward feet when walking, and finally untied the bow with his hands, and did not even re-bandage it, leaving the wound exposed to the air, he seemed to feel more comfortable, and the original slight pain of the wound seemed to dissipate without a trace.

The bandaged cloth strip was stained with medicinal powder, thinking that this had wrapped his feet, Zhu Yuanyu carried it with a little disgust, his eyes turned around, looking for a suitable place to put it.

It's a pity that there were no trash cans in ancient times, so Zhu Yuanyu had to take out his handkerchief, spread it flat, put the strip of cloth on it, and then folded it and put it at the foot of the bed.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanyu is a little clean, but this is not absolute, when pushing the carriage, he can not care about the dirty water in the puddle.

After disposing of the cloth strips, Zhu Yuanyu raised the pillow and half leaned on it.

After a while, he changed his position a little uncomfortably.

The pillow of Yuelai Inn is cloth on the outside, and I don't know what kind of flowers and herbs are stuffed inside, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance.

Zhu Yuanyu liked the taste, but he was not satisfied with the comfort of the pillow.

When he was in his hometown, his pillow was specially made, sewn with the softest cloth, without embroidery, and it was simply a simple cloth, which was stuffed with goose down that people had specially collected.

Not only him, Zhu Dafu and Wang Chunmei also asked people to make two, and they liked it as soon as they slept. Later, after going to Beijing, he knew that his mother was extremely filial and would definitely not forget the second elder if he had good things, and then Zhu Yuanyu asked people to make a few more, and specially ordered someone to send them to his grandfather's house, and also asked the embroidery girl to embroider auspicious patterns on the edge of the pillow.

For this reason, Wang Jinyi also deliberately went to Zhu's mansion to praise him fiercely, almost saying that there is nothing in the sky and nothing in the ground. At that time, Zhu Yuanyu didn't bother to listen to him say a lot of unnutritious nonsense, so he ignored it directly.

Although the goose down pillow is comfortable, it feels a little stuffy in the summer for the ancient times without air conditioning. Previously, Zhu Yuanyu had people make bamboo pillows for three summers.

Zhu Dafu and Wang Chunmei also liked it, but after Zhu Yuanyu slept for two days, he began to feel a stiff pain in the back of his head. At first, I thought it was sick, but after asking a doctor but not finding any symptoms, Zhu Yuanyu suspected that it was a problem with the pillow.

He decisively changed back to the previous pillow, and the next day the back of his head was no longer stiff and painful.

When the goose down pillow was made, he slept on the goose down pillow and never changed it again.

When she went out this time, Wang Chunmei was afraid that he would not be used to it, so she specially asked someone to make two goose down pillows and let him take them. Zhu Yuanyu also knew his own fault, so even though he would appear squeamish, he still did not refuse his mother's heart.

Zhu Yuanyu changed her posture again, wondering where Cui'er put the two goose down pillows.

Is it in a carriage?

Or was she taken to the inn by Cui'er and her bags?

There was no trace of any luggage in his room, not even the one that wrapped his clothes, and he thought it might have been placed in Cui'er's room.

Cui'er knew that the two goose down pillows were in her room, so they probably had the same bags in her room.

Zhu Yuanyu glanced at the wall to the left of the room door - Cui'er's room was over there.

He didn't have the key, though.

Yes, the upper rooms of Yuelai Inn are equipped with locks, and this lock will not be used when no one is staying, but when a guest checks in, the key to the lock will be handed over to the guest. The key was given by Zhu Yuanyu from the shopkeeper who led the way, presumably the shopkeeper gave it to him at some point, but Zhu Yuanyu didn't see it anyway.

At noon, when the four of them left the room, Cui'er cautiously locked the door of her room and brought the key with her.

She also locked the doors of Zhu Yuanyu, Qi Yi and Li Zhuangzhuang by the way, but she didn't hold the keys to the two upper rooms, and gave them all to Qi Yi.

Now that Cui'er is not here, Zhu Yuanyu really can't get the goose down pillow, the premise is that the goose down pillow is really in her room.

Thinking that the pillow he was putting on might have been used by countless people, Zhu Yuanyu had a habit of cleanliness again, and hurriedly straightened his waist and no longer leaned on the bed.

Putting on his shoes and no longer feeling like he was sloppy, Zhu Yuanyu walked to the desk, he planned to practice calligraphy while waiting for the return of the three subordinates.

On the desk, because he wrote a letter before, he still put his accustomed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zhu Yuanyu skillfully grinded the ink, felt that it was almost, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and began to practice calligraphy on the rice paper pressed with the paperweight.

Feeling that the light in the room was insufficient, Zhu Yuanyu came back to his senses, and at this time, the desk was full of rice paper full of words written by him, which were scattered messily.

Usually he practiced calligraphy either Qi Yi or Cui'er was waiting on the side, but it was the first time he tried to practice calligraphy while grinding ink, and no one followed the rice paper on the desk.

Zhu Yuanyu put down the brush, loosened his muscles, looked up at the window, and the hollow paper wooden window was covered with orange and red with gold, indicating that it was already evening and the sun was about to set.

Not only did Li Zhuangzhuang and Cui'er not come back, but Qi Yi was also nowhere to be found.

Zhu Yuanyu frowned lightly, stood by the desk for a while, and finally decided to find someone by himself.

Afraid that if the three subordinates came back and didn't see others and went out to find him and miss each other, Zhu Yuanyu left a note, and when he went down to the first floor, he specially explained a few words to the shopkeeper, so that the shopkeeper could see his three subordinates and ask them to wait for him in the room obediently, no matter how long it will take, he will definitely come back.

Although the shopkeeper didn't even raise his eyelids, Zhu Yuanyu knew that he heard it.

There was also a courteous shopkeeper next to him who was talking enthusiastically, Zhu Yuanyu knew what he was thinking when he saw his immodest look on his face, ignored him, glanced at the shopkeeper and walked out of the Yuelai Inn.

By this time the sun had set, it was starting to get dark, and the moon was slowly climbing into the air.

The Yuelai Inn was still crowded with people, gobbling up invisible maggots.

The shopkeeper who was ignored by Zhu Yuanyu sneered contemptuously at his back, and when he heard someone leaving, he immediately turned around and walked to the table with a happy face and brought the leftovers into the kitchen backyard.

Zhu Yuanyu didn't know which direction the three subordinates were in, and the talisman given to Qi Yi didn't react, so he had to choose a direction based on his feelings.

There seems to be no curfew in Youxi City, and there are as many people as during the day.

Some of the street stalls have lanterns hanging up, and it looks very atmospheric.

If it is just the candlelight of the lantern, it may be a little boring, but tonight's moonlight seems to be extraordinarily bright, coupled with the lights of the restaurant next to the street, Zhu Yuanyu walked all the way, as if he was still in the bright lights of the previous world, and he was very nostalgic.

After walking for a while, Zhu Yuanyu found that the surrounding scenery was a little familiar, and after a closer look, it turned out that he had gone around to the street where the old couple set up a noodle stall.

Zhu Yuanyu stopped, and if he continued like this, he might not find anyone at dawn.

After thinking about it, he decided to look for help.

Youxi City knew at a glance that it had been stored for a long time, and there were ghosts where there were people, so Zhu Yuanyu wanted to find a few wandering spirits on the street and ask them to help find his three subordinates.

However, most of the geists are generally muddy and have no autonomous consciousness, so it may not be easy to ask them to help find someone.

But who is Zhu Yuanyu!

What he wanted to do, no matter how great the difficulty was, could stop him from moving forward.

Geists do not have autonomous consciousness, and that is because they have been dead for a long time, and the memories that were once human beings when they were alive are closed, and as soon as someone reactivates their memories, then the autonomous consciousness will return.

Zhu Yuanyu just wanted them to help find people, and didn't want to cause chaos in Youxi City, so he would monitor their behavior and give them an excess afterwards.

Zhu Yuanyu walked roughly around, and then stopped in a corner where he felt that the yin qi was heavier.

Generally, there are fewer people in places with heavy yin qi, so Zhu Yuanyu looked around with confidence and began to concentrate on summoning spirits.

He mobilized the spiritual power in his body and converted it into a yin force that could attract the spirit to subconsciously lean over, and this kind of yin power would generally make the spirit feel very comfortable, and he would involuntarily come forward.

Soon, Zhu Yuanyu saw three Ah Piao swaying over.

a woman with long hair to hide her face;

a child, glazed over;

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

It's still a family?

Zhu Yuanyu was a little surprised to see the three Ah Piao swinging hand in hand, and stopped the yin power that was radiating outward for a while.

It was the first time he had seen his family turn into a ghost.

What kind of natural disaster* will turn a good family into a geist?

That child is like a copy of a man, carved out of a mold, with thick eyebrows and big eyes completely inherited, that is, Ah Piao, who looks dull and full of eyes.

The man didn't have a dull gaze, but his eyes stared straight ahead, which made people feel cold. Fortunately, it was a wandering spirit, otherwise Zhu Yuanyu would have thought that he was going to attack him.

As for the woman, she didn't know how to get it, according to the law, the long hair that should have been scattered behind her back was all pulled in front of her, and Zhu Yuanyu couldn't see her appearance at all.

For a while, Zhu Yuanyu and the three Ah Piao were silently "communicating" in a dark corner.
