It's 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the Chung Yeung Festival has passed quietly, except for a few children in the outer courtyard who are playing around for a day and planning to rest.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles." The frightened lame man of the Mu family did this kind of work every day, walking from the head of the village to the end of the village, bypassing the courtyard of the main house and going to the backyard tent to pay some rice noodles. The housekeeper said that he would definitely send all the food stamps to the belly of those secret prostitutes, and he had to take care of it, so as not to starve to death like that.

This was the last lap, and the lame man took the gong and pushed open a side door in the outer courtyard, which he was accustomed to, and turned to the tent to be nearer. Then it was an accident that I met Yuelu, who was about to go to find his grandfather after playing in the outer courtyard.

"Are you going to the backyard?"

"No, it's not, go to the account room to get paid, the little boy is a guest, but what do you need a little help?" The lame man bent down and said with a smile, looking happy on his face, but his facial features were twisted together, facing the kerosene lamp, it was really not amiable.

New China's new government and new policies, but this remote small village is not managed, not isolated from the world, but capable of everything. These special families and groups, by virtue of their skills, retain their consistent customs and habits, and implement strict hierarchical rules.

Yuelu's eyes rolled and said, "Is it convenient to take me to the backyard?" I looked for my grandfather, it was so late, I don't know why I didn't come out, take me to see. ”

"I told you before, if there is a big matter in the backyard, you must not enter it if you have nothing to do."

"It's not nothing, I'm looking for grandpa, it's something."

"This ......"

"You just take me there, the rest of the things have nothing to do with you, I am a guest, my request, Grandpa Mu will not blame you."

The two of them walked to the backyard one after the other.

There was no one along the way, and it led to the gate of the courtyard where the parents of the twin sons used to lie down. But there was no one left. The door was open, and the inside was spacious and dark, and the floor was as clean as water, and the breeze blew through the ginkgo trees in the yard, bringing a strong smell that was a sign of what had happened here.

Unlike children like Yuelu who have never experienced it, the cripple is very sensitive to this smell.

It was the smell of blood, the same smell of blood as the slaughterhouse where he had worked. His leg was also accidentally injured by a machine while working there. So I went back to the village and prepared to stay here for the rest of my life.

But the smell of blood was different from those of the livestock, it was faintly sweet.

"Do you smell anything?" Yuelu frowned.

"It's a weird smell, maybe it's a night pot." The cripple joked that he didn't choose and discuss. He's not stupid, not at all.

If there is no harvest in the yard, you should go into the house and have a look. Yuelu walked to the front of the house and reached out to open the door.

What catches your eye is a big laying word.

"Someone from your Mu family died? Grandpa said he was here to play cards, not to the funeral......"

The cripple was also confused.

When someone dies in the main family, there will never be a secret mourning, but what about the coffin? Why do you see the coffin only on the altar? Plus the strong smell of blood before......

Take the first two steps, where there are two platoons. There is no one in the Mu family who he doesn't know, as long as he sees the words on the ranking, he will know it in his heart. I got closer, but I was stunned.

He knew, of course he knew, it was the young master and young grandmother of the main family! Two days ago, the loveliest twins of the main family celebrated their birthdays, and he also sent a special gift, although it is a worthless puppet, but it is delicate and has Lu Ban's skills. The peaceful and warm family that was still enviable that day left like this, and the twins lost their parents at a young age, how pitiful it should be. He is not much older than the child brought by the guest next to him.

sighed and said, "Little boy, let's leave with me, there should be no relatives here, I remember that the guests will settle down in the East Garden, and I will take you there." ”

"Do you know the person on the wooden sign?"

"Of course, they are the young master and young grandmother of the team leader's family, and they have a pair of lovely twins. Bigger than you. ”

Yuelu didn't ask any more, took the lame man's hand, and left the room.

Yuelu said, listening intently, but he suddenly stopped. Then he turned around and looked at me, a little confused. didn't hesitate, he asked directly, he didn't care about my thoughts, he just wanted to know...... "The twins of the year, one of them was the elder brother, and the other must be known to you, the eldest young master of the Mu family." And what grandpa wants to leave to you is also the section of dragon wood that let my brother shed his skin and change his blood, grandpa said that only you know the use. ”

"Thanks to Huan'er's medicine, I have the opportunity to recall what happened back then, so as to remember the details that I overlooked."

"I told you that his miserable situation back then was also because of his apologies, and our five surnames owed him a debt to him...... Not to mention that the early death of his parents was related to this incident, the pain of that experiment and the life of being reduced to a shadow are extremely unbearable. No one wants to lose themselves, standing in this world but living for others, an unknown existence, always living behind others. He knew the meaning of his existence, but it was even sadder, and I wish he had never understood it and really hated us...... It's better than being silent all the time, you know? He paused, then looked like me, "Of the two children, only one has that ability, but ...... He can't have offspring......"

"......" has a tight hand and no offspring! How so! So what is he now? He has been, has become, something that is neither human nor ghostly! Wouldn't that be the ...... if that wasn't even there

"Yes, there won't be a trace...... He understands ......"

I paced slowly, treading through the small paths of the garden, and somehow came out, holding the key to the bank safe. In the safe, there is a dragon wood.

In the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang Temple in Qilian Mountain, I knew his secret, but I didn't know the entanglement behind it.

Nothing is waiting to be pronounced on a predetermined track, and if you are not qualified to know, then it can only flow and appearance.

Obviously, his identity touched on a top-secret incident, even if the five clansmen who carried out this matter were not qualified to know except for the highest five.

I was curious and wanted to find out, but I didn't have the time or energy.

After meeting the moon deer, I am even more sure of this.

"Now that I've got the dragon wood, I need to go back again......" muttered, the dragon wood was an important clue, but it didn't make sense to me in itself. No, it still makes sense.

There's one thing I haven't thought about. When I first saw a scene in an ancient temple, it was quite shocking to me. Now imagine that since the things in it need Shenlong wood, although one has been destroyed, fortunately there is still it in hand. Then there is hope to open it again.

It has been valued by Xiao Han and him so repeatedly, and it must be related to "Mountains and Rivers".

I can't let this opportunity go away for less than a year...... What should be settled should also appear.
