Chapter 345: The Shadow Behind the Tree
The demon and I crept our heads out of the kitchen door, and I crouched underneath with his head on top of mine.
What caught my eye was Mu Xue's sister-in-law.
I thought: Why is she here?
When she saw that we saw her, she beckoned to me and motioned for us to come over.
The demon and I looked at each other and decided to go over.
"Sister-in-law!" I called her. But there are still doubts in my heart, and the second brother clearly said that she has returned to her hometown. But why is she here at this time?
"You have doubts about my presence?" Mu Xue looked at me and said.
"You know my temperament, I'm also a more direct person, my second brother told me that you went back to your hometown." I'll be honest.
As soon as Mu Xue heard what I said, her face immediately changed. Then he pulled me aside and said to me, "Xiao Man~"
As soon as her words changed, I knew something must have happened.
"That's the purpose of my coming to you today, you must not tell your second brother." Mu Xue suddenly grabbed my hand.
I was taken aback by her actions, and my knee-jerk reaction was to immediately withdraw my hand.
Mu Xue was also shocked by me, but she quickly seemed very natural, and then took my hand and said, "Xiaoman, I didn't treat you well before, my sister-in-law was not good, my sister-in-law has a small belly, you adults have a lot, don't worry about your sister-in-law." ”
"It's all family, what are you talking about?" I don't want to say much.
"I'm here today to ask you something." Mu Xue held my hand and never let go, obviously still very nervous.
"If there's anything you want, you can say it directly." I patted the back of her hand to give her a sense of security.
"Actually, what I want you to help me with is that I must not let your second brother know about my return."
"Why?"
"Our son was taken away." As soon as Mu Xue finished speaking, she squatted on the ground.
"Who took them?" I immediately panicked.
"It was taken away by the maids." Mu Xue began to cry again after speaking.
"Why is the maid catching a child?" I looked at the evil spirit in confusion.
The demon shrugged at me.
"It's okay, if you see the other person and know who the other person is, it's better than not knowing." I comforted and said, "When dawn, I'll go to Luofu to see it in person, so don't worry." ”
Mu Xue squatted on the ground and only knew how to cry, at this moment, I looked at her and really couldn't bear it.
Then, I motioned to the evil spirit to help Mu Xue into the house to rest.
"You get up first, go into the house and sleep first, and I'll get you something to eat later, and don't worry about anything." Don't worry, there's me. I said.
The demon kept winking at me: 'You just believe in her?' ’
I ignored the evil spirits and settled Mu Xue before going out.
The evil spirit followed me closely. "You just believe in her like that? And let her into your room? ”
"She's my sister-in-law, if something so big happens, I don't help her, who else can help her?"
"Shouldn't she go back to your second brother, what can she do here?" The evil spirit was very puzzled, and his tone was very impatient.
"The child was lost, and she certainly didn't want that to happen. What parent would want their child to be caught? Mu Xue's sister-in-law must also be uncomfortable. At this time, you don't have to talk so much nonsense. I said.
"Do you think she didn't hurt you badly enough?"
"Why did you start to become like Tang Seng as soon as you came to my side, you all became mother-in-law and mother-in-law, little brother is like this, Zixuan is the same when she comes to me, and now it's your turn." I said to the evil spirits.
"It's not because I'm worried about you~" The evil spirit pouted, and muttered very quietly: "I don't know how many times you have to be deceived before you come to your senses." ”
"It's as terrible as you say." I looked at him earnestly, then handed the cooking spoon to the evil spirit and motioned to him, "Here!" ”
"You're going to get her food, I'm not going to do it." The evil spirit refused to help.
"Oops~ My good evil spirit, you can help~"
"You can do whatever you want me to do."
"My sister-in-law hasn't eaten yet, so you can do it~"
"Not good."
"I'll give you six pairs of candles~ plus a pack of incense." I made a please, please, please, please, p
"When the time comes, you'll know the pain."
I took him by the arm and said, "The evil spirit is the best." Then he made a 'shhh' gesture to him: "Don't wake up the little brother, he has to go to the yamen tomorrow." ”
"You're treating me like your little brother, aren't you?"
"Hey~"
When we got everything ready, we called Mu Xue at the door of the room, but we didn't hear the response from the house.
"Sleeping so hard?" The evil spirit said disdainfully.
"Could it be that something happened?" I hurriedly pushed open the door, but Mu Xue was not found in the house.
I was in a hurry, and the evil spirit found a letter on the table, which should have been left by Mu Xue when she left, and the evil spirit handed me the letter: "Miss, look at this!" ”
I read the words on the letter, it was indeed Mu Xue's note, which read: Xiaoman, I really can't rest assured of my son, so I decided to go to him. Don't read it. Mu Xue!
"Where is this? It's clear that the trap has been dug and waiting for someone to jump in. "The mouth of the evil spirit is raised.
"I'm still not worried about her." I guess I'm worried about my life all my life.
"Are you really going to die?" The demon said in horror.
"If it's really the maid who caught it, then if I come forward, at least I have a little face, at least my identity in their eyes is Lan Caihong." So saying, I walked out.
"Wait for me." The evil spirit chased after him.
"Didn't you say it was a trap? Are you still coming along? I couldn't help but joke.
"It's because I know it's a trap, so I can't see you jumping in and don't stop it, and even if I can't stop it, I can't watch you die by yourself. Accompaniment~It's always okay~" The demon deliberately leaned his head close to my ear and said to me.
"Poor mouth~"
We're all moving towards where we're going.
"It seems that someone is following us~" The evil spirit motioned for me to look at the shadows underground.
It's true, I just thought the evil spirit was just trying to scare me, but when I saw the shadow he said, I realized that he wasn't lying.
The shadow was hiding behind a tree, and although the demon and I saw the shadow, we still walked forward on our feet to avoid the other party noticing that we had found him.
I frowned intently, turned around and said to the evil spirit, "Did you add more salt to the dish on purpose?" It makes me feel thirsty even now. ”
The evil spirit is very smart, it reacted instantly, and it cooperated very well. "Hey~ How do you know?"
As I spoke, I deliberately slapped the demon on the head, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.
The evil spirit came over: "Who?" ”
The thought of the man I had just seen gave me goosebumps all over my body.
The man behind the tree was Chen Biao. (To be continued.) )
