The sun shone obliquely into the room, and the warm afterglow reflected on Xingrou's couch, perhaps because he was tired yesterday, after returning from the secret room, he fell asleep with the book in his arms. Xingrou opened her eyes and called, "Someone, is the city lord back?"

The girl came in response, knelt on the ground, lowered her head and said, "Miss, the city lord did not return all night, but the word came early in the morning, and he returned at noon." You came back to the room last night, looking tired, the slave wanted to wash you, and when you came back from the water room, you were asleep, holding this book in your arms, the slaves and maids did not dare to disturb, and asked the young lady to forgive you!"

"It's okay, get up, don't kneel on the ground at every turn in the future, I don't need these etiquettes in my room, get some water, wash and change clothes" Xing Rou's voice was a little weak, and she said absentmindedly

"Miss, but you're worried about the city lord?" the girl seemed to see through Xingrou's thoughts

"Well, I've been here for a few days, and I still don't know what your name is?" Xing Rou remembered that the girl who was serving beside her didn't even ask her name.

"Miss Hui, the slave's name is An'er. The girl replied

"An'er, is your real name?" Xingrou asked again

"No, Miss, her real name is Qinglan. The name was given by the lord of the city. After the girls entered the house, they all followed the surname of the master's family, so now the slave maid is named Leng An'er."

"That's a good name, but what about your family? You said before that you only came to Fuzhong three years ago, and you didn't mention your family. ”

The girl choked up a little and said, "Miss, three years ago, I was in the middle of a mutiny in the city, my parents had died, and I was the only one left in the family, and I was sold into slavery in order to bury them. It just so happened that the city lord saw it, helped me bury my family, and gave me some silver, so that I could find a good family to live in, and I voluntarily entered the house as a slave to repay the city lord's kindness. ”

When Xingrou heard this, she felt a little pity in her heart. Yes, there was a mutiny in the city, the people suffered, the times have changed, the war has not stopped, and I don't know how many people like this girl are. took An'er's hand and said: "An'er, you are a good girl who knows how to repay your kindness, your parents can rest in peace in the spirit of heaven, don't be sad, I will also be your family in the future, don't call me Miss, just call me sister"

After hearing this, An'er hurriedly shook her head and said: "Miss, by all means, An'er has the honor to enter the city lord's mansion and serve the city lord, Miss is a blessing that I have cultivated, although the city lord is indifferent and indifferent on the outside, but he has special care for us subordinates, Miss, you have a gentle personality and kindness, and we have nothing to say, we must not cross the distinction between master and servant."

"An'er, I have no relatives and no reason, I have lived for two lifetimes, and there is only one person around me to protect me and miss me, but I know it a little late, you will be my sister in the future, and I will have one more relative, are you right?"

After An'er heard this, tears fell drop by drop, although she didn't know the meaning of the two lives in Xingrou's mouth, but when she met such a young lady, she really came from several generations of cultivation, and she didn't dare to refuse again, and secretly swore in her heart that she must serve her well and protect her well. So he knelt next to Xingrou, put his hand on Xingrou's leg, and called: "Sister"

"Silly girl, get up quickly, don't cry, it's not good-looking to make a face early in the morning. Xingrou's voice was as gentle as the sun, warm and refreshing.

"An'er, do you know how to get to Yuncui Mountain?" Xing Rou asked

"Sister, do you want to go to Yuncui Mountain, no one can go up the mountain without the city lord's edict."

"How come I haven't heard of it?"

"Sister, everyone in the house knows that it is the forbidden land of the city lord, and they don't even dare to mention it?"

Xingrou fell into contemplation again, Yuncui Mountain, the art of rebirth, the messenger of the dead, it seems that he still has to go to the Yan genius.

"Sister?" An'er called softly

Xingrou came back to her senses and said: "An'er, go and prepare lunch, the city lord should come back!" Tell the housekeeper, prepare the city lord's change of clothes, boil some boiling water, one day and one night, it should be tired. ”

"Okay, An'er will go and prepare, sister will rest first"

Seeing An'er retreat, Xing Rou got up and picked up the nameless book, which was written by Leng Yue to Xinghai, flipped through a letter that fell out of it, Xing Rou picked it up gently, for fear of breaking it, opened the letter, and did not sign it, only to see that it was written:

Tonight and night, the king returns to the night, on the shore of the Lechuan River, do not enter the reincarnation, and wait for the king

On the other side of the Yellow Spring, the soul of life is reborn, and the thunder robs a hundred ways, without hesitation, looking at Jun'an

Xingrou was dumbfounded when she saw it, this is ...... Isn't this my own experience? How could it be? Leng Yue knows it? No, what the hell is going on? Xingrou was a little helpless, but she didn't know what to do, and when she was stunned, she saw An Er walk in: "Sister, the city lord is back"

Xingrou hid the book in her hand behind her, got up and tidied up her clothes: "Where is he?"

"The city lord is in the study," An'er replied

"I'm going to see him. “

Every step Xingrou took, she was terrified, afraid that Leng Yue would find out that she had entered the secret room, and more of her fear came from the letter about her experience, although it was not signed, but it was really creepy. Unconsciously, when I came to the study, I saw Leng Yue, my face was a little haggard, as if I was sick, I hurriedly walked to the front and asked, "Brother, you... Are you alright?"

Leng Yue saw Xingrou coming, and was just about to get up to speak, but one of them didn't stand firmly, and his body fell to Xingrou, and in an instant, the two of them looked at each other and fell to the ground. Leng Yue hurriedly got up and helped Xing Rou up: "Xing Rou, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Xingrou laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, my brother also blushes?"

Leng Yue didn't dare to look up at her, and said, "I know it's a joke on my brother!"

Xingrou asked again, "Is my brother sick?"

"It's okay, just rest for a day, um..." Leng Yue hesitated, as if she had something to say

"Brother, what you want to say, just say it, between you and me, don't be too taboo"

"Yesterday, you followed me to the city gate?"

Xing Rou thought to herself, oh no, how did Leng Yue know, did he see it? Pretending to be calm, she said: "Before returning home yesterday, I suddenly thought that the rice cakes at the city gate were very delicious, so I went to buy some, and I didn't follow my brother."

Leng Yue settled down and said: "No wonder when I came back, the housekeeper said that I hadn't seen you, I thought you went to the city gate with me, and what you want to eat in the future and tell me, I'm not here, just ask the housekeeper to buy it, don't run around alone, it's not safe."

Xingrou nodded secretly happily: "Brother, let's go eat, I'm hungry." “

Leng Yue and Xing Rou went to the main hall to eat together, and after eating, Leng Yue went to rest, saying that she would go out at night, and Xing Rou also went to sleep, thinking that Leng Yue went out, she could also go to Yantian.
