Chapter 20: Peach Blossoms

Li Fan was reminded of the past, and his heart was a little unhappy, and he felt a little stuffy in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Feifei knew that he was causing him to mourn, and he didn't want him to continue to be unhappy, so he had to persuade: "Master doesn't have to blame himself for everything. If you want to blame, blame those bandits, who are vicious and murderous. Such a person will not end well. Besides, you have been stationed in Wangyun City for many years and have killed so many bandits, maybe the group of people back then have died under your sword, so you are also avenging the people on this side. ”

"I hope so." Li Fan got up, picked up his cloak and was about to go out.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"It's a little boring, I'll go out for a walk, you don't have to wait for me."

Li Fan went out and left the general's palace with only one entourage. He rode his horse, passed through most of Wangyun City, and came to the area where the old mansions were located. Passing by the empty Tu house, he only glanced up, and then went straight to the backyard.

The reason why Tu's house was not opened for displaced people to live in was because there was a grave in the backyard of the house.

When he came in a hurry, he got the news that the Tu family had been killed. Back then, he was still a teenager, and he didn't pay attention to other families, even the Tu family, all he paid attention to was just one person, the most beautiful girl in the Tu family.

It's a pity that the begonias in the past withered, and now they are just a dry bone in the coffin. He put her in the coffin with his own hands, covered her with soil, and buried the most hazy dreams of his youth.

Flowers are pinched off at the time of budding, and some things are coming to an end before they have even begun.

Here today, gone tomorrow. In retrospect, he couldn't remember what she looked like. But there is still a hazy picture in my mind:

The peach blossoms bloomed in spring, and the people under the trees had a smile on their lips, looking at him who fell down in embarrassment not far away.

It was the first time he had seen her, and it was the only impression he had of her.

Li Fan stood for a while, until the wind picked up, and then silently left the Tu family.

What Li Fan and Liu Feifei said at dinner did not let the people around know. The next day, Liu Feifei didn't ask where Li Fan had gone at night, and approved Meng's request to go out early in the morning.

Lu Ren, who was frightened that night, can actually be regarded as her relative.

Her sister married into the Lu family and became the continuation of Jingzhao Yin Lu Zhen. Lu Ren is the son of the original partner and the only son of Lu Zhen. When Xiao Meng got married, Lu Ren was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was very favored by her. Especially when Xiao Meng has no children for many years, he treats Lu Ren as a parent. But it's a pity that the loving mother has many defeated children, and Lu Ren began to get into trouble frequently when he was a little older. There was a lot of trouble in a certain way, and his father Lu Zhen was so angry that he wanted to kill him. Seeing that this was not good, Xiao Meng secretly hid Lu Ren in the army stationed on the border, and wrote a letter to ask his sister to help take care of it. She thought that Lu Ren was hiding here, firstly, to avoid his father's punishment, and secondly, if he could take the opportunity to get a small military feat, it would be good to go home to dispel his father's anger.

Although the idea was good, Meng couldn't really let him go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so he arranged for him to be in some relatively safe and inconspicuous positions. Although the arrangement between the two sisters was good, but seeing Lu Ren cowering and looking in a trance in front of him, Meng Shi could only give up the previous arrangement and send him back to Beijing in advance. After all, he was frightened, and his mental state was not good at the moment, in case something went wrong in Wangyun here, he was afraid that he would provoke Lu Zhen's disgust with them.

Meng Shi was afraid of scaring him, so he said softly: "Ren'er, I'll send you back to the capital in two days, okay." ”

Lu Ren hurriedly said okay. His guts were about to be shattered.

"Auntie, I'm going back. There are ghosts in that place, there are ghosts. ”

Meng Shi comforted him: "Where did you hit the ghost so coincidentally?" I guess you were in a daze at the time and heard it wrong. ”

Lu Ren struggled: "I heard it right, there are really ghosts." I saw them, and I saw them killing people and extorting confessions from them, demanding that they tell the whereabouts of 'Changsheng'. ”

Meng Shi was so shocked that he covered his mouth: "You keep quiet, otherwise they will rush in again." They are the men who are guarding the door.

Lu Ren whined a few times before Meng Shi let go of him: "Are you really sure what you just said is true?" ”

"It's true, I can see it so clearly. I could see the blood splattering. Lu Ren stretched out his hand and gestured: "The blood is splashed so high." It can't be wrong, they must have done it again what happened before they died. ”

Meng Shi looked at Lu Ren's expression and tone did not look like a fake, if he really accidentally looked at the shadow of the tree, it was impossible to see the so-called "coerced confession" and "murder". So......

Meng Shi blinked and lowered his voice: "Did you hear clearly, did they say where the 'Immortal' was?" ”

"I only heard that some people said that the map of immortality is in the secret room of the Tu family."

"Where is the Tu family's secret room?"

Lu Ren suddenly remembered the "killing" and screaming he saw that night, and the "buzz" in his head immediately became cringe again.

"Did you hear where the Tu family's secret room is?"

"No, I didn't hear you. Then they were killing, and then they were screaming. Didn't hear, didn't hear......"

Seeing this, Meng also knew that this cheap nephew couldn't be helped. It seems that he either didn't really hear it, or he was so frightened that he forgot what he had heard.

Meng Shi left the place where Lu Ren lived with great thought and returned to the General's Mansion. She reported to Liu Feifei, and sent someone to check where Lu Ren was at the time of the incident to verify whether there was really a ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost.

Compared with Liu Feifei, who had just come to Wangyun City for two years, Meng Shi, who had followed Li Fan here for seven or eight years, still heard about some things in Wangyun City.

Thirteen years ago, in the midst of war, a gang of bandits infiltrated Youzhou, slaughtered the local scholars, and looted their money. Afterwards, the blood flowed like a river, and the blood-soaked red soil could still be seen in the three inches of the ground. Because of the fear of unjust spirits, those houses were sealed later, and no one was willing to take the initiative to mention them, or even deliberately forgotten. It was only recently that it was used as a shelter for disaster victims.

The disappearance of those families is known to the old people in Wangyun City. But this "immortality" is not known to many people among the people.

And Meng happened to have a little impression of this "immortality". It was a secret story about the royal family of the previous dynasty.

The man who was sent to investigate the haunting soon wrote back to Meng. They didn't find any traces of someone doing something strange in the ancestral hall of the Tang family. Then it means that either there are really unjust souls who do not want to be reincarnated; Either that, someone knows about "immortality" and wants to elicit something.

So before Lu Ren set off to return to Beijing, Meng's family letter had already entered the capital before him.

It's just that this letter didn't fall into the hands of her family.

Early the next morning, Meng Shi packed up for Lu Ren and sent him to leave Wangyun City and go back to Kyoto.
