Yu Yan and Yu Lixiao glanced at each other, jumped off the roof, and quickly stepped into the small temple.

The father and daughter were startled by the sudden appearance of the two, Mengdie quickly got up, stopped in front of the old man, and asked nervously, "Why are you here?" ”

"Miss Mengdie, don't be afraid, I just want to know the truth, what are you doing here?" Yu Yan asked softly.

"Find the person who has a bad heart, and take him back to see my sister." Mengdie hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Hey." The old man's sigh was mixed with too much helplessness.

Yu Yan squatted down, grabbed the old man's sleeve and looked at his wrist, there was a deep scar on his wrist, it looked like he had been seriously injured, and his tendons had been broken.

"Why are you so badly injured?" Yu Yan covered the old man's sleeve and raised her eyes to look at him.

Mengdie sat down cross-legged beside the old man's legs, and said softly: "My father was originally a spiritual snake guardian, I have a younger sister, named Mengdan, who is two years younger than me, Wusi was adopted by my father, he was only ten years old when he came to my house, I was seven years old that year, and my sister was five years old. My father taught him to collect medicine and raise snakes. My sister has liked to run behind him since she was a child, and she likes him very much. I was born and chose to be the guardian of the spirit snake, so my sister has to recruit a son-in-law to continue the incense for our family. ”

She paused, her eyes turned red, and she stroked the old man's wrist and said, "Wusi agrees to be our family's son-in-law, he is very good to his sister and Daddy, and Daddy teaches him everything." However, because we were not allowed to marry with foreigners, Daddy gave him the mantle of my family at the cost of cutting off his own tesuji, and in exchange for the permission of his people to recognize him as a member of our Yama tribe. ”

"Dream Butterfly......" The old man shook Dream Butterfly's hand and sighed long, "Forget it, don't worry about it, let's go home." ”

"Daddy, let me finish......" Mengdie hugged his shoulder, became excited, and said quickly: "We didn't think of it, Wusi is very bad and has no conscience." The night before he got married, he suddenly ran away and took Daddy's holy snake and holy book with him. This is a great thing for us, and the holy snake is life for our people. Losing all of this, our family became traitors to our clan, and everyone looked down on us and rebuked us. I'm the guardian of the snake, and I'm getting by, but my father and sister were driven out of the village, and they weren't allowed to enter, and everyone ignored them. My sister couldn't afford to be sick, and I really couldn't stand it, so I came out to find Wusi, and I had to ask why he did this, and why he betrayed our hearts. ”

"Actually, you like thoughtless ......," Yu Yan blurted out.

Mengdie's face suddenly turned white.

Yu Yan knew that she had guessed correctly, she was a saint, so she couldn't marry her sweetheart like other women. What's more, Mengdan also likes thoughtlessness, so Mengdie silently retreated and fulfilled her sister's love.

Therefore, when Mengdie saw Mo Wenli, her eyes would glow.

"There's nothing wrong with liking people, and the snake guardian is also a human." Yu Yan took her hand and whispered, "I have a feeling, thoughtlessness is in my ears, he must be avoiding you." ”

"Then I must ask him why he did this to us. We have sworn before God that we are faithful and sincere, why should He break his oath. ”

Dream Butterfly's lips trembled slightly, and she looked sadly at the incense burner outside the small temple, and in the smoke, there was a faint sprinkling of moonlight.

Yu Yan knew in her heart that the person she liked by Wusi must also be Mengdie, and Mengdie must be forced to swear by Wusi that she would be good to Mengdan.

――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line――――――――――――――――――――――――

Back at Xu's house, it was already dawn, and in more than an hour, the Xu family would open the door of the mansion to welcome relatives and friends who came to celebrate their birthday.

The slaves were preparing for the birthday feast during the day. The red lanterns had long since been hung, the hall was covered with a delicate new carpet, and firecrackers and fireworks were piled up like a hill.

Mrs. Rujiao wore new clothes and came out of the side courtyard with all the ladies with a spring breeze on her face.

The monks' wooden fish voices were much shallower, faintly coming from the direction of the side courtyard.

The second master and the third master are all dressed up, and they are talking to the ninth uncle in the side hall. Xu Tongyao was also there, his delicate cheeks were slightly sunken, and he was thinner than when he first saw him two days ago. Cai Xiang served tea on the side, and made eye contact with him from time to time.

"The daughter-in-law has a small birth, and he waits day and night, and he hasn't slept yet." Mrs. Rujiao explained heartbrokenly.

Yu Yan nodded lightly and walked over slowly.

"Ma'am." When Xu Tongyao saw her coming, he generously bowed and greeted her.

Cai Xiang also hurriedly saluted, offered tea, and walked away quickly.

"Is the young boy going to take the big test this year?" Yu Yan looked at the little ink under his ear and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm studying for a book and want to take the autumn exam." Xu Tongyao hurriedly said.

"The young boy is really hardworking...... Yu Yan pointed to the root of his ear.

He raised his finger and wiped it, showing a little embarrassment, and whispered, "Madame is smiling." ”

"Is it Caixiang?" Yu Yan asked bluntly.

Xu Tongyao was stunned.

Yu Yan shook her head and whispered: "If it's sincere, why hide it, if it's the wind, why disguise." ”

Xu Tongyao's face gradually became ugly, and he only whispered yes and walked aside.

Yu Yan looked around, she already knew almost everything about the situation in this mansion. Cai Xiang and Xu Tongyao grew up together, but I am afraid that they have already had affection, but she is the daughter of a servant, such as Mrs. Jiao
