Seeing that Lin Qing was willing to stay, Second Uncle Xiao recruited a maid to arrange a room for her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And he was obviously a busy man, and after sitting for a while, someone from his clan came to report that he was looking for something.

Second Uncle Xiao got up and ordered: "Ling'er, Rao Rao hasn't returned home for many years, you take her and Lin Xiaoyou around the house." After speaking, he left with the third cousin of the Xiao family.

Xiao Ling was about to take the two of them around the garden, when he heard Aunt Xiao look at Mei Rao: "Don't you want to see your cousin?" ”

Speaking of Xiao Man, Mei Rao was full of doubts in her heart, Xiao Ling and the others were here just now, she didn't want to ask her uncle and cousin in detail, she also wanted to know what happened to Xiao Man in the past few years, so she stayed as good as she could.

But ignoring Lin Qing is not her way of hospitality.

After hesitating, I heard Lin Qing say understandingly: "You don't have to worry about me, I'll follow Miss Xiao around." Miss Xiao doesn't mind, right? ”

"Where is Miss Lin, of course I can't ask for it." A hint of stiffness flashed across Xiao Ling's face, which was quickly replaced by her soft smile.

Seeing that the idlers and others had left, Aunt Xiao hurriedly walked to the door, looked left and right, and then turned around and sighed lonely to Mei Rao: "Rao, today's Xiao Mansion is not what it used to be." ”

With this sigh, the cool breeze swept up and down the delicate corridor, and the canaries in the cages under the eaves fluttered their wings and chirped.

Aunt Xiao looked at the caged birds that hit the wall on all sides: "Rao, now my cousin and you, just like this bird, look at the golden house and the gorgeous clothes, but we can't help it at all." ”

"Auntie, I heard that my eldest uncle has passed away in Chengdongfang City, and my eldest cousin and second cousin are also missing?" Mei Rao moved her lips and finally asked the question.

This topic seemed to instantly make Aunt Xiao more than ten years old, and she said quietly: "If it weren't for a few children, why would I have to survive in the world." ”

"Aunt ......" couldn't imagine that the eldest aunt was pessimistic so far, and Mei Rao was a little moved.

"Rao, you come with me."

The two walked through the hall until they reached the innermost, pushed open the small door of the inner courtyard, and saw Xiao Man sitting on the soft collapse, looking at the sky outside the window

Hearing the movement, she turned her gaze.

She had obviously just washed up, and her black hair was scattered, but because of the faint fragrance in the courtyard and the soft spring light, the woman's clear eyes became clearer and clearer.

Thinking of a scene in the forest, Mei Rao's expression was a little complicated.

After greeting, the three of them sat down at the round table in Xiao Man's room, and Aunt Xiao sighed: "The Xiao Mansion has changed a lot in the past few years, many old people have left, and it is your second uncle's family that has become the biggest!" ”

"Mother?" Xiao Man couldn't help frowning when she saw her mother mentioning family matters to Mei Rao in a daze, she couldn't help frowning, and she secretly gently pulled Xiao's sleeve.

Aunt Xiao patted Xiao Man's hand and smiled gently: "Your cousin Rao is not an outsider, Rao Rao came to kiss us, when you were a child, she also hugged you." ”

"Uncle, what has happened all these years? Circumstance...... Is it really so difficult? "The palms and backs of the hands are all relatives, and the discord between relatives is the most difficult to clear.

Aunt Xiao was sad in her heart, and said softly: "Things have to start from ten years ago. Ten years ago, there were monsters outside the south of the city, and there were monsters that ate people's hearts, and your uncle took Xiao Shang and several side brothers of the Xiao family and some clansmen to remove the demons, but only your second uncle Xiao Shang came back. No one except Xiao Shang knows what the process is, according to him, your uncle died by exploding himself in order to kill the demon beast, and died with the demon beast. The demon is destroyed, but your uncle is gone. ”

Speaking of sadness, Uncle Xiao burst into tears: "In the next few years, the house began to flow unfavorably, first your second aunt died of anger for no reason when she advanced, and after two years, Rui'er went out to practice and disappeared for no reason, and then your cousin Yu went out and lost his trace one after another. I sent many people to search for them, but they found no trace. I have been looking forward day and night for my son to return, but unfortunately ten years have passed, and he has not yet returned. ”

"Power is moving, since your uncle went, your second uncle began to change, at first instigated Rui'er to go out to practice, and then after Yu'er also disappeared, he inherited the Xiao family justifiably."

"Xiao Mansion he took it, until your uncle died, Rui'er and Yu'er disappeared, and our orphan daughters and widows also knew that they couldn't afford to support the Xiao Mansion. But he shouldn't want to marry Man'er to Xia Ming, the son of Xia Sanye, for just a few pills. This summer, no one in Ming Fanli City knew that he was a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he relied on the pills to fill in the cultivation of several layers. Moreover, over the years, he has often deducted my and Man'er's cultivation resources, and I'll just do it, but his delay in Man'er's cultivation to advance can be described as ill-intentioned! I didn't want to doubt him, but one by one, he was the one who benefited in the end, so I couldn't help but doubt it. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man's fists clenched, her nails had sunk deep into the flesh, and her forbearance eyes became more and more determined.

And when Mei Rao heard this, she couldn't calm down for a long time.

That kind of action actually came from her second uncle, who was low-key and gentle and devoted to cultivation?!

How can people become so powerful?!

She did not doubt what her aunt said, the death of her uncle and the disappearance of her cousin, no matter what the process was, these were the realities in front of her. Besides, when she was in the forest, she had already noticed that the girl was very neglectful of Cousin Man, which would never have happened if it had been in the past. And after she entered the house, Uncle Zhang led them to the eldest aunt in a panic, for fear that they would be robbed halfway, and the second uncle's family hurried to take care of them, and finally even Lin Qing's guest room was ordered by the second uncle, all these clues show that the second uncle has taken control of the Xiao Mansion, and the eldest aunt and Xiao Man are not doing well.

Mei Rao couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect her to come back this time, and the Xiao Mansion no longer had the happy scene of the past. She held Xiao's hand: "Auntie, I have suffered you and my cousin all these years. ”

Once comforted, Xiao's tears became more and more turbulent, and although Xiao Man's eyes were slightly red, he tightly suppressed the tears that he wanted to shed. She wiped her eyes and said with a forced smile: "Mother don't worry, God has eyes, that summer and tomorrow have been bitten to death by demon beasts today, Xiao Shang can't beat my idea for the time being." ”

As he spoke, a hint of imperceptible fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Xiao sighed, "I hope they can stop for a while." But Man'er, that Xia Sanye bluntly said before that he would not give up, will he trouble you again? ”

Xiao Man sighed slightly in her heart, her mother has been protected too well by her father for so many years, and the affairs of her father and brothers have made her heartbroken, so don't let her worry about other small things, so she smiled and said: "It's okay, this matter has nothing to do with me, it's just a routine inquiry." ”

Hearing her say this, Aunt Xiao felt a little relieved, and pulled Mei Rao and said: "Rao, I don't want anything else now, my aunt only begs you, when you go out, can you help me pay more attention to the whereabouts of your two cousins, and after Xiao Shang succeeded to the head of the family, he no longer sent people to look for ......"

Mei Rao nodded with emotion: "This matter, even if my aunt doesn't say it, I will pay more attention to it." ”

The night soon fell, and a shallow moon bud appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds, and the courtyard of the Xiao Mansion was lit up one after another.

In the guest room, Lin Qing sat on the edge of the table, his fingers lightly clasped on the table, thinking about tonight's plan of action. Today, she specially asked Xiao Ling to take her around the Xiao Mansion and touch the terrain of the Xiao Mansion.

"May Fourth, red dates, today's one-day trip to Xiaofu, have you all remembered the layout of several courtyards?"

May Fourth couldn't help but throw her a "you stupid mortal" look: "I'm not ashamed, I've never seen a person with such a bad sense of direction." Even a spirit beast as small as a red date has to help you remember the way! ”

Lin Qing glanced at him five and four: "Did you know me on the first day, don't you know how I got the honor of "King at the Bottom of the Maze"?" I have the courage to admit my shortcomings! I'm going to visit the Xiao Mansion at night, in case the lights are blind, it's not good to go to the wrong yard. ”

In fact, of course, she also remembered the way, but she was just prepared.

Red dates have always been very active in helping Lin Qing, and they said in their purses: "Don't worry, the main silver is there, and the main silver will not get lost." ”

Lin Qing was happy: "It's still my best jujube!" ”

Wusi rolled his eyes, and after a while, he said angrily: "I also remember everything." ”

“…… Uh, you're well-behaved too. "That's weird!

In the middle of the night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Lin Qing, who had hidden his figure, took a treacherous step and swept towards the main courtyard like a ghost.

The moon was gradually obscured by dark clouds.

At night, I can barely see my fingers.

Lin Qing bent on his waist and lay on a roof of the main courtyard.

It's good to enter someone's house, and the layers of formations outside don't need to be broken, she sent a voice to May Fourth: "May Fourth, you use your heart to perceive and see which house the baby you want is in now?" ”
