My breath froze for a moment.

Feeling my trembling, Aunt Hong immediately understood, she followed my gaze to the other side, was silent for a moment, and said with a slight choked throat: "I have asked, Madame's spiritual position is really not in it." ”

“……”

"Miss, do you want to go in and have a look?"

“……”

My throat was also a little stalking, but this time it wasn't like when I mentioned it before, my heart was always unspeakably sour, but I had an inexplicable thought that made me feel incredible churning in my chest.

I didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Then, I looked at the two tall plane trees, I don't know how long they had been planted, but I think they were probably planted when the ancestral hall was established, and the trunks were so thick that several adult men might not be able to hold them together, and when I looked up, I couldn't see the treetops, as if they had been straight into the sky.

Aunt Hong looked at the sycamore and chuckled: "I remember that someone said back then that the two sycamores planted in front of the Yan family's ancestral hall were planted well, and they could attract phoenixes." ”

“……”

Phoenix?

When I heard these two words, my heart palpitated again.

But I still didn't say anything, only a faint smile appeared on my face, and I subconsciously looked back at the two halls, Aunt Hong saw me like this, thinking that I was still unwilling in my heart, and she probably had been angry, and said hatefully: "When I think of the future, maybe in a few decades, that woman will go in under the name of Mrs. Yan family, I am angry in my heart!"

“……”

"She, just by virtue of her, is she also worthy of being called the wife of the Yan family?"

“……”

"She's far worse than Madame!"

I turned my head to look at her, smiled and patted the back of her hand gently, and said, "Forget Aunt Hong, there are some things that are already facts, so don't think about it anymore." ”

“……”

"Let's go. ”

"Hmm. ”

She helped me walk back slowly, and as I walked through the long and narrow alley, I asked her, "Aunt Hong, is it convenient to send letters here?"

"It's not very convenient here, and people will only go out for half a month to send letters to the town. ”

"Oh......"

"What's the matter, Miss, you have a letter to send?"

"Well, I've written a few letters to the capital to give me a wonderful message-" Seeing her somewhat puzzled look, I said, "Li'er." ”

"Miss Sun, is she still in the capital?"

"Because of some things, she was reluctant to follow me into Sichuan. I don't know what the situation is out there now, but after I left the capital, I sent her a few letters, but because I couldn't stay in each place for too long, I couldn't get a reply from her. Still, I wanted to write to her and let her know that I was okay. ”

"If the eldest lady wants to send a letter, of course you don't have to wait, I'll ask them to deliver it right away. ”

"This time, if the matter can be resolved smoothly, I hope to hear back from her - in Bishan. ”

Aunt Hong turned to look at me: "Bishan? I heard-"

I hadn't mentioned Liu Qinghan's matter to her before, obviously this also surprised her, and I smiled faintly: "Aunt Hong, I will make it clear to you after this matter is over." That Liu Sanye, he handed over all his family business to me, if nothing else, I will stay in Bishan for a while. ”

Her eyes widened and she gasped.

Obviously, Liu Qinghan's family business is so strong that everyone in Xichuan knows about it, and when she suddenly heard that I got such a gift, even she was stunned.

She ate and said, "He is the eldest lady—"

I smiled and said, "I said it, I'll talk about it later." ”

She still couldn't come to her senses, and nodded dumbly, so I grabbed her arm and walked with her, reminding her as I went, asking her to find someone to deliver the letter to the town for me.

The next day was a great day.

However, after the beginning of autumn, this is the case, an autumn rain and a cold, even if it is a sunny day, you can feel the coolness in the wind getting worse and worse.

The letter to the wonderful words was sent from here.

The fourth one.

Now that I think about it, she is really right to refuse to go with me, going south and north like this, and there are dangers everywhere, I am really not at ease with her, she is in the capital, at least it is safer than following me.

It's just that when I miss her, it's too uncomfortable.

I walked on crutches and asked Aunt Hong to accompany me to the entrance of the village, watching the young man who was found by her to deliver the letter leave, the back of the man had disappeared, but I had not left, but stood under the tall gantang tree at the entrance of the village, looking at the lush woods in front of me, and the wind kept blowing from inside.

I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Aunt Hong, those people - the people who chased and killed us that day, you said they were dealt with, how did they deal with them?"

Aunt Hong also looked at the forest in front of her and said, "It's buried there." ”

“……”

"This is the rule of Gantang Village. ”

“……”

"Whenever an outsider enters the pine forest in front of him, there will be a patrol to report it, and if an outsider dies in Gantang Village, if he is not related to the villagers, he will be buried in that forest, not counted as a person in the village. ”

My heart moved slightly, and I muttered, "Isn't that a lonely ghost?"

Aunt Hong's voice was a little indifferent: "In this world, there are many lonely souls and wild ghosts. ”

I looked back at her, and when I saw a glint in her eyes, I knew that she was thinking of her mother again.

In the past, I was naturally distressed, and even had a lot of bad conjectures, but this time, after returning from the cliff, I always had some almost crazy thoughts in my heart, and I couldn't get rid of them in my mind.

Seeing Aunt Hong so sad, I said softly, "Aunt Hong, I want to ask you something." ”

She turned to look at me, "Huh?"

"You, you-" I hesitated how to speak, so as not to scare her, let alone make her crazy, I said softly, "Have you ever thought that my mother she-"

Just as I was halfway through my sentence, I suddenly heard a commotion from the direction of the river not far ahead.

Someone, stepping into the river.

I heard the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of water splashing, and the sound of people talking.

Suddenly, Aunt Hong's breath and I tightened, and the two of us turned our heads together to look at the forest in front of us.

I heard the sound of someone riding into the woods, and the luxuriant foliage was rattled, but it seemed as if they had stopped again, and remained silent for a while.

Just when Aunt Hong and I looked at each other, and she couldn't even hold back her desire to go forward and investigate, a group of people slowly walked out of the forest.
