Looking back, there is a winding path behind him, and on both sides are rockeries with strange rocks, which is the way Brother Ying came; Looking ahead, the path winds its way in three directions, one to the left and bends deeper into the rockery, the other forward, leading to a moon gate in the distance, far away from the plaque on the door, and one on the right-hand side, paved with gravel, only one step wide, and almost obscured by weeds and a clump of lush old trees without looking closely.

A bright moon had just risen. Today is August 14, although it is not a full moon, but it is also very bright, shining those rockery shadows are enough, a moment of wind blowing, there is a whistling sound in the depths of the rockery, and it seems that people cry, and like a ghost laughing. When I pricked up my ears to distinguish carefully, it disappeared again. Rao is Brother Ying, who grew up with a materialist education mentally, can't help but feel a chill in his back. She stood at the intersection, took the lantern and shone it forward, made sure she didn't see anything she shouldn't see, and then said to herself, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, look, there's nothing, it's all the sound of the wind blowing through the stones, it's an echo, it's okay, it's okay." While comforting himself, he slowly moved his steps, stepped back, and after three or five steps back, turned around and ran.

Just after running two or three steps, Brother Ying suddenly stopped and stood in place in a daze. "No...... No way...... What was that just now? At the moment when Brother Ying turned around, she seemed to see a white light floating in the woods behind her.

"It's not a ghost, is it?" Brother Ying swallowed his saliva, and said to himself in his heart: "Why am I so unlucky, I can drown if I swim, I can be reincarnated in the maid when I wear a lot, and I can meet a ghost if I send something, I ...... Go, my grandmother is a ghost, I'm still afraid of him? Anyway, let's see what the hell the hell is like with the ghost! Thinking so, Brother Ying steadied himself, turned around and went back, and walked to the intersection just now, but his legs said that it was not easy to do anything.

At this moment, a cloud just covered the moon, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, so black that they could no longer see their fingers. A cool breeze blew, and the flame of the horn lamp in Brother Ying's hand also flickered, and it was so dark that it was negligible.

The white light in the distant woods seemed to be faint, floating in the distance.

"It's not a ghost fire, is it?" Brother Ying vigorously recalled the scientific knowledge he had learned in his previous life, "The ghost fire is produced by the combustion of sulfide, it should be blue, right, is there really a ghost in this world?" Isn't it...... Is it Brother Ying's soul? She stayed here until I was alone? Even with this in mind, Brother Ying also took a step, carrying the lantern and slowly pacing forward.

The white light flickered in the dark woods, but it was getting closer and closer to Brother Ying. Brother Ying was standing on the edge of the woods, thinking about whether to enter the woods, and the soul dared to appear, when suddenly a turn, the white light was already approaching, and then, a voice came from the woods, "Who, where are you standing?" ”

"Huh?" Brother Ying was thinking about how to communicate with the ghost, but he didn't expect the ghost to be able to speak, and it was a low male voice, Brother Ying didn't react for a while, and he was so frightened that he stumbled directly, "I'...... I...... Be...... It's ......"

Here, a tall man walked out of the woods carrying a lantern with a white silk jade bamboo bone long-handled lantern.

No wonder I saw a white ball of light, but no one was seen. This man was dressed in a black robe, with a black cloak tied behind him, holding a lantern in one hand and the other behind his back, and his exposed face and wrists were also dark in color, almost blending in with the background behind him.

Seeing Brother Ying stammering here, the man was obviously impatient, "You are the girl in that room, it's so late, hanging around here!" ”

Listening to the tone, it seemed to be the master in the house, Brother Ying hurriedly leaned over to say goodbye, "I'm the girl from Longxiangyuan, I went to send a post to Miss Shu, and I got lost when I came back, and I accidentally walked here." ”

"Mingyue Pavilion is far away from this side, can you get lost here? But lie! ”

"I didn't! I'm really lost. Brother Ying was in a hurry, he didn't care about etiquette, and raised his head to argue at him.

When the man saw Brother Ying's face, he was stunned for a moment, "Why are you?" ”

"Huh?" Brother Ying was a little frightened just now, obviously out of mind, and asked with a raised face following his words, "Ah, it's me...... Who am I? ”

The man smiled faintly, showed a row of snow-white teeth, and said slowly, "I don't care who you are!" Where are you going, I'll take you out. ”

"Oh, yes." After thinking about it, this answer was too disrespectful, and he quickly changed his words, "Yes, thank you...... Yes...... Son. ”

The man walking in front looked back at her curiously, turned around and listened to him whisper, "It's really stupid." ”

Brother Ying slandered: "You are stupid, wearing a black dress in the dark and pretending to be a ghost in the forest, cut!" Neurotic. ”

Brother Ying silently followed him with a small lantern, secretly raised his head to look at his back, and found that when he got closer, wow, he is so tall, almost about 1.85 meters, his broad shoulders are very straight, and he can walk with the cloak behind him flying, like a handsome vampire in a movie.

With a lantern in front of him, he took Brother Ying to the depths of the rockery. Originally, it looked like a deep and terrifying place outside, and someone accompanied me, but I thought it was okay. The sound of the wind is the sound of the wind, no matter how you listen to it, you can't hear the scary place, the rockery is the rockery, and no matter how scary it is, it is just a stone that can't be moved. I've been here for so long, Brother Ying is walking on thin ice all the time, and I can't wait to be cautious in my sleep, but now, she feels safe and steady in her heart, Brother Ying feels strange, this little sense of security is actually given by a stranger who has just met.

The two walked silently for a long time until they came to an open space. The man pointed to a road under the bamboo forest and said to Brother Ying, "Follow this road all the way forward, see the Moon Lake to the left, and you can see Longxiang Garden along the lake. You don't always meet me. ”

The doll leaned over and replied, "Thank you Childe for mentioning it, Brother Ying remembers." ”

The man thought seriously for a moment, and then asked, "Oh, your name is Brother Ying." Is your sister's name Yan Wu? ”

Brother Ying thought in his heart: I have already played with this stalk once, and on the surface he was silent, and replied word by word, "Hui Gongzi, my sister's name is Xiaoque." ”

"Oh." After a word, there was no sound for half a day.

Brother Ying lowered his head and waited for him to speak, and waited for a long time without moving, so he had to secretly look up to see what he was doing, but he didn't expect him to look down at her, facing his eyes squarely, she hurriedly lowered her head, and secretly frightened: Those eyes are so familiar!

"It's so late, you can go back." There was silence for a long time before such a sentence came out.

Brother Ying stabilized his voice, "Yes, then I'll retire first." ”

"Wait!"

Brother Ying couldn't help but look up, wondering what was wrong with him. I saw him look at her with a smile, and show his snow-white teeth, like a good-looking vampire.

"I'm Shi Ming, if you meet me in the future, call me Young Master Ming. Or, when no one is around, it doesn't matter if you just call me Shi Ming. Don't call me Childe, it sounds like an outsider. ”

Brother Ying was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly leaned over and agreed, "Yes, Young Master Ming." ”

As if with a sigh, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes, Young Master Ming."

Brother Ying measured his proportions, retreated step by step, and after reaching three or five meters, he turned around and flew away. The footsteps walked fast, and the brain also recovered, turning quickly: This is the legendary second son! Why did he come back at this time, I heard about Chunxian, no, he is a son, and he can manage Lao Tzu's family affairs? Either he came back for the holidays, so how could he go home at night and appear in such a remote place, isn't she the only one in the entire general's mansion who knows that he is back? Or...... Brother Ying's mind was a mess.

Although his mind was confused, Brother Ying still carefully identified the direction, this time he did not get lost, through a bamboo forest, and sure enough, he saw a sparkling wave not far away, across the lake, he saw the green jade pool where the young grandmother lived in the distance, and the lights were bright. Brother Ying guessed that the eldest young master Shi Zheng should have returned to his yard at this time, and he didn't know if he was discussing this public case at home with the eldest young grandmother.

As expected by Brother Ying, in the side room of Luyupu, Shi Zhengzheng and the eldest and young grandmothers were drinking each other, and there were four kinds of fruit and side dishes on the bed table, one holding a lotus cup, but both of them were silent. The one who was holding the pot next to him was just Qinglian. Shi Zheng held the wine glass, staring at the red and bright wine, and his mind no longer knew where to go. The young grandmother on the opposite side waited slowly, not in a hurry or in a hurry, and the smile on her face was faint.

Qinglian next to her couldn't see it, and said softly, "Young Master, Young Grandma is waiting for you to drink, why do you still take Qiao and dry Young Grandma there." ”

"Oh!" Shi Zheng came back to his senses, raised his cup and raised his hand to the eldest young grandmother, "Offended, I just thought about the things in the yamen, but somehow, I was distracted, I have been older in the past few years, and my spirit is not as good as in the past, I will punish myself with a cup, and the young grandmother will spare me this time." ”

Originally, the eldest and youngest grandmother was teaching Qinglian a lesson, "Master drinks, how can you interject!" Hearing Shi Zheng say this, he turned his head and smiled, "When I say this, people who are not yet thirty years old will say that they are not in good spirits and make people laugh!" It's just that you've been entangled in official business recently, and there have been some troublesome things at home, and I don't blame you for being tired, it's me, and my spirit has been very short these days. Fortunately, the eldest lady felt sorry for me and took care of my face, otherwise, I would have lost face. ”

"That's not going to happen." Shi Zheng drank a glass of wine, Qinglian hurriedly stepped forward to fill it, Shi Zheng said lightly, "An Rongtang's affairs, it's not something you can manage, a few girls over there, relying on a little familiar face in front of the old man, all of them don't know how to be safe, and there is Qiu Zhen as an example, let alone the sky is thick, through this matter, let them have a long memory, it's just that you have worked hard, and you have to worry about these things, the eldest lady knows it in her heart." ”

The eldest grandmother also slowly drank the wine in the cup, "It's worth it with you, it's not in vain to waste this effort and heart." But what's going on here? ”

Shi Zheng's eyes were scattered and he didn't know where to look, "Let's let it go, there is something in front of me, but it is more important than this!" ”
