87_87686 Night, everything is quiet.

The drizzle fell softly and scatteredly, adding another layer of dampness to the already wet earth.

The cool breeze is blowing slowly, and the people who love to go to the building the most are slowing down.

But at this time, countless black shadows appeared silently, surrounding the house near the alley.

The leader's tone was deep, "One team kills, two teams defend to the death, a quarter of an hour." ”

"Yes."

Obviously it was at night, obviously they were doing something unseemly, but their actions did not mean to be restrained at all, and they broke down the door directly, and the sound came far away in the silent night.

The lights are lit up in the house one after another.

Several courtyard guards stepped forward with their swords unsheathed, "Who are you waiting for...... Ah......h

The disparity in force made the duel a rout, and the resisting person was killed to the ground in three or two blows.

"Kill!"

Screams came from all over the house, and the leader didn't seem to be able to hear them, and walked in one direction with a clear goal.

Pushing open the door with a creak, the man he hadn't seen for many years sat there so calmly, without the slightest panic, looking at him fixedly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, silent only hearing the screams outside, while the man sitting upright still looked as usual.

"You know I'm coming?"

"I knew someone was coming, but I didn't expect you to come."

The man in black had a layer of sadness in his eyes, and ripped off the black scarf, revealing a fairly young face.

"I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect to see each other again in such a situation, do you know where she is?"

The man leaned back and nodded, "I know." ”

There was a momentary pause in the black-clothed man's tone, and his breath was chaotic, "She...... Are you okay? ”

"I won't tell you anything about her, Zhou Zhiyuan." Seeing that his lips trembled, the man stabbed him unhurriedly, "You probably forgot that she gave you the name Zhiyuan." ”

The eyes of the man in black were red, some were unwilling, some were unwilling, and there was even more pain in the depths.

If only time could be reclocked......

As if he didn't want to be seen in his gaffe, the man put the black scarf back on, took out a short dagger from his waist and put it on the desk, his head lowered slightly, "Do it yourself." ”

"Don't want to get my blood on it? Worried that she won't forgive you? The man curled the corners of his mouth, "It's a pity that everything in this world will not be as good as it should be." ”

As he spoke, the man closed his eyes, his breath was light, as if he was asleep.

The man in black closed his eyes, his heart gradually settled, and when he opened it again, the pain in his eyes faded.

This is the path he chose, kneeling, he can only grit his teeth and walk to the end.

The screams outside gradually became almost inaudible, and the man in black leaned over and picked up the dagger and turned around, "Third brother...... Good walk. ”

The man's body stiffened violently, and his face was distorted for a moment, and he lost his breath in a moment.

From beginning to end, he was so proud that he didn't make a sound.

The man in black tensed his body and didn't look back, and when he couldn't feel another breath in the room, he punched himself hard in the chest and strode out the door.

The night is deeper.

*******

On the paved road of green bricks, pedestrians with umbrellas walked in a hurry.

Sanxia looked down at her shoes and skirt hems that were so wet that they didn't have a single dry yarn, and she was uncomfortable with the wet and sticky feeling.

Although the rain knows the season, it has been raining continuously for seven or eight days, and there should be enough water shortages.

"Guest officer, I'm afraid that the rain won't stop for a while, why don't you go into the store and rest? Drink a hot pot to get rid of the chill. ”

The words with a smile made Sang Xia look up, the umbrella was higher, and he saw a smiling face, and then he was higher, and the signboard of Ruyi Building came into view.

The body was really uncomfortable, and Sang Xia simply didn't get along with himself, so he raised his feet and entered the store.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment because of that face, but when he saw her enter the store, he was immediately happy and hurriedly followed.

But I couldn't help but think in my heart, should he call the young master or the young lady at this time? This looks like a beautiful girl's family and a handsome young man!

There are not many customers in the shop.

When I saw someone coming in, I couldn't help but look at it for a long time.

Sang Xia ignored those eyes, and went up to the second floor to find a window seat and sit, "A pot of good tea, and a few plates of your store's signature dim sum." ”

"Eh, well, wait a minute."

Xiao Er's eyes narrowed with a smile, the shopkeeper can say that he will give ten copper plates when he brings in a guest, and if the guest is generous, he will benefit even more.

Seeing that the guests were so cheerful, thinking about their own benefits, Xiao Er's attitude became even more careless, and after finishing the things, he picked up a rag and wiped the edge of the table vigorously, especially the side where Sang Xia was sitting.

Sang Xia slid out two silver nudes in his palm, "The little second brother is a local?" ”

Xiao Er's eyes lit up, but he didn't stare directly at the silver, but his attitude was more enthusiastic, "Yes, the little ancestor is from this Leping Town, and there is no place in this town that the little one doesn't know." ”

"Oh? I see that this place is picturesque, and I have the intention to stay here for a while, I wonder if the little second brother can tell me what taboo customs are in the local area, so as not to cause trouble for a while. ”

"Less...... Small...... The guest officer is really a cautious person. Xiao Er changed his words again and again, finally covered up the past, and habitually picked up a rag and wiped the table.

"To say that our Leping Town is indeed a good place, the scenery is not to say, now is the rainy season, more rain, but the rain has the artistic conception of rain, although the small do not understand, but there are those who read specifically looking forward to this weather, and after a while, the weather is good, the flowers are in full bloom, the lake is full of colors, that is called beautiful, if the guest officer has enough time, you may wish to stay for a few more days, keep it for you to linger."

"Hearing you say that, I'm really going to stay and see."

"Don't worry, the little one won't dare to fool you." Xiao Er has been smiling, also attentive, and careless, but there is no flattery that makes people dislike, "There was no taboo in Leping Town in the past, but something bad has happened recently, you are a foreigner, in order to avoid trouble, you still don't go to Tongqian Lane in the south of the city." ”

Copper Money Lane!

Sang Xia's eyes flashed, "Why?" What's going on there? Is it only the locals who go or is it ......"

"Not really, it's just that the locals are taking a detour now." Xiao Er looked around, and saw that there was no one else upstairs except for a guest officer who was a few tables away from here, so he bent down and approached and whispered: "There were originally big families living in the town, and I don't know who offended someone killed the door some time ago, there are forty-two people, that movement, according to the people who heard it, it was scared to death, and the people who lived near there recently said that there was movement in the house from time to time, and the town was rumored to be in Nafu. ”

Sang Xia also leaned his head over and lowered his voice, "Haunted? ”

"That's what I said, as for whether it's or not, I don't know if it's small, anyway, the little one is cowardly, and he will never go over there."

This is very simple, Sang Xia smiled, "How is that family?" Could it be the same people in the town who have a grudge against them? ”

"That's not it, the official has checked it, and said that the murderer is not from our town, it's not that I look down on our people from Leping Town, and the big guys don't have the ability to do such a thing.

Besides, the Guan family is very good, although it has nothing to do with people like Xiao, but every year when there is a disaster, they will be kind and generous, and the relationship with the official master is also good, and the young masters and young ladies are said to be very easy to talk to......"

As if he felt that he was talking too much, Xiao Er suddenly closed his voice, and his eyes glanced around uneasily.

Seeing this, Sang Xia didn't ask any more questions, threw the silver over, and it just fell into his arms.

Xiao Er skillfully hid in his sleeve and bowed down happily to retire.

The tea was just cool, Sang Xia took a sip and turned his head to look out the window.

It rained too much, and it was already foggy in the distance, as in a painting, and it was indeed beautiful.

Wet and uncomfortable, Sang Xia didn't sit for a long time and went downstairs.

Walking not far away, the feeling of being stared at made her suddenly turn her head, and the umbrella moved up, casting a gaze at the man upstairs.

There, where she had just had tea.

Probably didn't expect her to be so alert, the man was stunned at first, and then smiled at her like a spring breeze.

Sang Xia tugged at the corners of his mouth and turned to leave.

She was careless, this was clearly another guest on the second floor of the Ruyi Building besides her, although she was sitting with her back to her, but she would not remember the clothes.

No matter how low the voice is, those who have a heart may not be able to hear it.

Inevitably, there are many dreams at night, and there can be no longer delay.

The moonless night was so dark that the rain that had been falling for days stopped at this time.

After counting the hours, Sanxia jumped up the high wall, then quickly bent down, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he jumped down, and was satisfied to see all the guards lying on the ground.

Aunt Wu's medicine worked as always.

After such a catastrophe, the Guan family looked messy everywhere, but in just a few days, there was a trend of decay everywhere.

Just looking at this messy courtyard, you can imagine what kind of panic and despair the Guan family experienced at that time.

Thinking of her mother's gaffe of knocking over the teacup when she learned that the Guan family had destroyed the door, Sang Xia closed her eyes and her heart was clear.

She may not be able to help her mother, but she can't do nothing.

Along the stairs of the road, there are still blood stains in the places that have not been touched by the rain, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, as if the wind and rain have not been able to dispel the smell of blood in the air for several days.

Although the Guan family was once extremely brilliant, after the rapids receded, it seemed to erase the former glory from the world, not only did they never mention it, but most of the people who came and went were ordinary people.

With such a mentality, the layout of Fuzhong is naturally just normal.

Sang Xia found the place where the Guan family lived.

Unexpectedly messy, the cabinet door was wide open, the clothes were shaken open and thrown on the floor, the long cloth was a little tangled to the feet, the kettle on the table was overturned, the cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, and the stool was tilted upside down......

I don't know how many people she came over, but I don't know if the people in front of her have found anything useful.

Sang Xia came to the bed with a clear purpose, touched under the bed, and sure enough, he felt a bulge that was not very obvious.

Pressing down hard, a wooden plank slid down the edge of the bed in the originally smooth place, revealing a small dark compartment inside.

There weren't many things inside, a few letters, a jade pendant, a red rope that had faded a little, and three small ears of rice tied into a bunch.

The ears of rice withered like withered grass, and few people could recognize them at a glance, but Sang Xia lost his mind for a while.

For as long as she can remember, her mother would often come out with a box to look at.

There were a lot of things in it, cheap and valuable, including this red string of not good texture and the small ear of rice.

She grew up and watched the red rope fade and the ears of rice wither.

What is the relationship between this Guan family and his mother?

Anyway, these things are precious to the abnormal, and it's always right to take them back.

Carefully took out the things and wrapped them in his arms, and restored the bed to its original state, Sang Xia looked around and lifted his feet to leave
