Chapter 35: It's Murder
Just as the hundred-step pit viper rushed towards the night phoenix, Yu Tao jumped lightly and reached out to catch the hundred-step pit viper in his hand.
Ye Fengyuan was scared out of a cold sweat by the poisonous snake, if it weren't for this Yu Tao, I was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe today.
At this time, Ye Fengmian and Shi Changpu hurriedly ran over, and they saw that Yu Tao and Yan'er had come out, so they also retreated. I heard that Yingxue took them to see Yu Tao's residence, and then they found here, and as soon as they arrived here, they heard Yan'er's scream, so they hurriedly ran over, and saw Ye Fengyuan standing in front of the door with a large pot of blooming flowers, and thought that his behavior scared Yan'er, and was about to blame him for a few words, but he saw Yu Tao holding a snake in his hand in the door and smiling at them, so he understood what was going on.
Ye Fengyuan put down the pot of flowers, grabbed the snake from Yu Tao's hand, and scolded angrily in his mouth.
Yan'er saw that there was nothing to do, so she came back to her ability, and yelled at Ye Fengyuan: "You waste, a big man can't even fiddle with a snake, which makes me startled, if it weren't for Sister Yu Tao, I'm afraid I'd feed this snake." ”
Ye Fengyuan was already angry, and when she heard that Yan'er was still counting him, she threw the snake in her face, which frightened Yan'er and crawled into Yu Tao's arms.
Ye Fengmian looked at the snake and wondered, why didn't the snake's two big fangs disappear?
She stretched out her hand and wanted to ask Ye Fengyuan to take a closer look at the snake, but Ye Fengyuan ignored her at all, brushed the snake away, and as soon as he let go, the snake was coiled around his arm, and he sneered at the snake: "Dare to scare me, see if I don't eat you." ”
The snake opened its mouth and spit out the core, but it couldn't reach him, he smiled and walked away with the snake outside, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and smiled at the peach: "Thank you for saving the girl today, and I got a snake soup to give the girl a bowl in a while." This pot of flowers on the ground is for the girl, the gardenia on the girl's head is too plain, where is it worthy of the girl's beauty, or wear this. With that, he walked away.
When Yan'er saw him leaving, she became active again: "What, I don't know if the Daoist people still guard filial piety, can you bring such a bright flower, little poison!" ”
Ye Fengmian looked at Shi Changpu silently, Shi Changpu also looked at Ye Fengmian silently, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Not long after, Ye Fengyuan really personally sent a bowl of snake soup to Yu Tao, and Yan'er was so angry that she screamed, saying that he would eat such disgusting things, it was really disgusting.
The more she screamed, the more Ye Fengyuan laughed, and had to ask Ye Fengyuan to put down the bowl of snake soup, saying that she would eat it later, and when Ye Fengyuan smiled viciously and left, Yu Tao asked Ying Xue, who came in to clean up for her, to take out the bowl of snake soup and pour it out.
Returning to Zhulinxuan from Yu Tao, Ye Fengmian and Shi Changpu couldn't wait to come to the bamboo forest behind, they wanted to see how the hundred-step pit viper in the small shack was doing.
As soon as they entered the bamboo forest, they heard a soft sobbing sound, and they came to find the sound, only to see Yingxue burying something on the ground of the bamboo forest, and there was a bowl of snake soup next to her.
Shi Changpu didn't say a word, rushed straight over, and used a bamboo branch to remove the thing buried in the snow, which was the snake meat in the bowl.
Ying Xue sat on the ground in horror for a while, looking at Shi Changpu with two big watery eyes.
"You raised this snake?" Shi Changpu looked at Ying Xue with tears on his face in surprise, but Ying Xue looked at him without a word.
Looking at Yingxue's tear-stained face, Ye Fengmian's heart softened, she was a little girl who would raise such a poisonous snake, what did she think, other girls were frightened.
"It's the third aunt you let the snake bite, right?" Shi Changpu stared at Yingxue and asked, he couldn't imagine that she was in her teens when the third aunt died, but how did a teenage girl do such a poisonous act, it was murder.
Ying Xue still didn't say a word, just looked at Shi Changpu with those big eyes, but there was no fear in those eyes.
Looking at Yingxue, who had calmed down, Ye Fengmian's heart tightened, how could a person who killed someone be so calm, the third aunt died five years ago, and she didn't follow her mother here at that time, could it be ......
She didn't dare to think about it, her mother had really done such a terrifying thing, she couldn't let Shi Changpu ask anymore, if she really asked her mother something, she was afraid that this stubborn guy would bring her mother to justice without recognizing her parents.
"Yingxue, bury it, my mother called you in front......" Ye Fengmian didn't know how to make up a reason for this girl to leave here quickly.
Yingxue heard that Ye Fengmian asked her to leave, and immediately stood up and ran away.
This time, Shi Changpu looked at Ye Fengmian with his shining cold eyes, he didn't need to speak, Ye Fengmian also knew what he was asking, she lowered her head and said softly: "This is a matter of the Ye family, senior brother, don't ask again." ”
Shi Changpu sneered: "This is a matter of human life, brother Xian!" The truth will come out one day, can you hide it? ”
Ye Fengmian gritted his teeth: "It's just that I brought this snake back." ”
Shi Changpu was speechless, "What she brought back" If this is really to make the matter public, she will definitely stand up for the sake of the second wife and the Ye family. She had just returned from the academy on the mountain, and it made sense to say that she had brought back a snake, but it was a big deal to scold her: poison.
"Feng Mian, what do you know?" Shi Changpu looked at Ye Fengmian with a sad face, he wanted to hear her give him a reasonable explanation, at least tell him the ins and outs of the matter, but he was disappointed, Ye Fengmian didn't have any explanation, she couldn't explain it, and she didn't know the truth of the matter, and now the biggest suspect was the mother who gave birth to her.
"Feng Mian, tell me, is this related to my aunt?" Shi Changpu asked her almost in a pleading voice.
But she knew that she could never admit that this stubborn guy would not bend the law for personal gain, as long as she opened her mouth, her mother might be shackled.
Seeing that Ye Fengmian didn't speak, Shi Changpu confirmed his guess this time, but what disappointed him was that Ye Fengmian would protect the murderer, in his heart, Ye Fengmian should be as upright as him, even her mother, and she will also act according to the law: "Fengmian, do you know the way, how many lives are there here!" There are five people dead in Mingyue Nunnery, five people...... The woman who died was the fifth aunt of the Ye family, did that woman's death also have something to do with your mother? This third aunt was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, right? It's murder, it's murder...... Feng Mian, what are you thinking! ”
