After Ah Jia had set up the horses and concealed the carriage, several people pushed open the door and walked into the empty villa together.

Ah Jia walked in the front to open the way, Helan Xuanyi didn't know martial arts, and walked in the middle with Lu Qinghuan, while Pei Yuan walked in the back.

After the four of them crossed the wall, they passed through the hanging flower gate and walked along the central hall to the inner wing.

It is the height of summer, and the flowers and leaves in the courtyard that have not been pruned for a long time are lush and green, like beasts ready to attack in the dark night.

Soon Lu Qinghuan understood why Pei Yuan had a solemn face before.

Although the night was dark, Pei Yuan gave each of them a piece of fluorite for lighting, and with the faint light of the fluorite, Lu Qinghuan could see that the verandah, courtyard, and steps were full of dark brown traces, some were splash-like, some were naturally stained circles, and some were drops of dot circles......

Lu Qinghuan had seen so many of these traces that without carefully distinguishing them, he could easily guess that these dark brown traces were all left after the blood dried up.

Apparently, there was a murder here.

It's just -- she quietly looked around, and saw that although there was a lot of blood, there were no bones. Could it be that the murderer also took the body away after committing the murder? But why is there no trace of dragging on the ground? It's as if the body disappeared out of thin air after the murder.

However, she didn't have the leisure to investigate the scene carefully, and she didn't plan to investigate, the aura presented here was too weird, and it was no wonder that even Pei Yuan felt dangerous.

The wind and rain were even more frenzied, and although she walked under the eaves of the porch, the splashing rain still made her clothes a little wet, and when the cold wind blew, she felt cold.

"Sneeze ......"

The sudden sound of sneezing was very clear in the empty night.

"Do you have a cold?" Pei Yuan behind him asked her in a low voice.

Lu Qinghuan raised his head, his eyes swept over the worry on Helan Xuanyi's face, who looked back, and shook his head gently. "It's okay, just get some sleep."

Pei Yuan was about to say something, but Ah Jia, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to a few people: "It's here." ”

Several people's attention was immediately attracted by Ah Jia.

It's a small compound. If it weren't for the flowers and branches that mop the floor, as well as the messy landscape trees, it would be very chic here, and even a plaque hanging on the lintel would not fall, with the three big characters of "Living in Peace" written in a dignified font.

Maybe it's because of its age. With the three words of Anju, the gold paint peeled off a lot, and after being washed by the rain, it showed a mottled sense of obsolescence.

"Do you want to stay here tonight?" Lu Qinghuan knew that there were usually only two or three rooms in this kind of small courtyard, but there were four of them, and one courtyard would not be able to live.

Pei Yuan, who was behind him, said softly: "Yes, just live here." ”

Saying that, he instructed Ah Jia to investigate the situation inside, and said to Helan Xuanyi: "Tonight, I will wronged Shu Ming and sleep with me, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Helan Xuanyi has been away for several years, and has already developed a temperament that is at ease with what happens. At this moment, after listening to Pei Yuan's words, he nodded, and he agreed.

Pei Yuan said to Lu Qinghuan again: "You will sleep alone in the side compartment later, you must be vigilant at night, I will take turns with Ah Jia on duty at night, in case something happens." ”

Among the four of them, Ah Jia's martial arts are first-class, so naturally there is no need to worry, although Pei Yuan has never shown his strength, but he can convince people like Ah Jia. If you think about it, she must be good, she has been practicing hard these days, and it is more than enough for self-protection, so it will be calculated. Only Helan Xuanyi, who doesn't know martial arts, is the most dangerous.

This small courtyard is surrounded by a two-person high courtyard wall, except for the courtyard gate directly opposite the main wing, there is no other entrance, which also makes the side compartment next to the main wing more secure.

Pei Yuan's simple arrangement, but he considered all the circumstances, and Lu Qinghuan nodded in agreement. He said softly, "You guys should also pay attention to safety!" ”

After a while, Ah Jia returned from the chamber and nodded to Pei Yuan, signaling that it was safe inside.

Lu Qinghuan hugged his package and planned to go to the side compartment to settle down, but was stopped by Helan Xuanyi.

"Qinghuan, you suffered from the wind and cold on the road, I will boil you some cold medicine later, and then go to sleep after drinking."

Lu Qinghuan responded with a smile, and then walked towards the side room.

At night, the rain finally stopped, and the clouds in the sky were illuminated by the moonlight and gradually dissipated.

Lu Qinghuan stood under the eaves of the wing room, feeling the cool breeze after the rain, as well as the rich fragrance of night flowers in the air.

"Can't sleep?" Pei Yuan leaned on the pillar and asked Lu Qinghuan softly.

Lu Qinghuan looked back when he heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed, he looked around with some surprise, and said solemnly: "Do you feel it?" ”

Pei Yuan, who was on the other side, also had a straight face, staring at the outside of the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, Lu Qinghuan felt a black shadow flashing on the roof, and Ah Jia flew out of the courtyard.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Qinghuan said, "Pei Yuan, what do you think happened here?" ”

Pei Yuan chuckled, his tone was a little cold in the lonely night, "No matter what happened, it has nothing to do with us, if you want to take the opportunity to get involved with us, I will definitely make him regret it." ”

Pei Yuan has always been gentle, looking like a piece of moist mutton fat white jade, but once he touches his bottom line, then he will reveal a trace of coldness all over his body, like a sharp blade that has just been unsheathed.

Such Pei Yuan obviously has a handsome face, which is fascinating, but the temperament exuded by his body is even better, making people almost unable to take their eyes off.

Lu Qinghuan looked at him and was a little stupid. It wasn't until the light in Pei Yuan's eyes turned into a touch of smugness that she suddenly came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed, and she withdrew her gaze with an embarrassed expression.

Turning his head, he looked to the other side, but fell into another pair of deep eyes.

That's Helan Xuanyi.

Helan Xuanyi held a bowl of steaming medicinal juice in his hand, and his expressionless face was dyed with a trace of sadness. He silently watched Lu Qinghuan and Pei Yuan look at each other affectionately, wanting to leave, but he didn't want to leave.

He saw Lu Qinghuan's red cheeks and the shyness in his rippling beautiful eyes, a touch of pain crossed his heart, and he said lightly: "Qinghuan, drink the medicine." ”

Qinghuan Qinghuan, from now on, can I only call your name, cold and lonely, and say goodbye to Huan?

Lu Qinghuan didn't feel sick, walked over with a smile, took the medicine bowl in Helan Xuanyi's hand, thanked him, drank the medicine on his back, and then took a long breath, wrinkled his little face and said bitterly: "It's so bitter...... It's so bitter......"

Helan Xuanyi silently took back the empty bowl, because he knew that Lu Qinghuan was particularly afraid of bitterness, and he added a lot of licorice to this medicinal juice, but he didn't expect her to be bitter.

took out a purse from his sleeve, handed it over, and said softly: "This is my own sour plum, you can taste it." ”

Lu Qinghuan's face was happy, and he was about to take it, but a figure appeared from the side, and he intercepted the sour plum first, and then he heard Pei Yuanliang's voice and said slowly: "Qinghuan, the medicine is bitter, I will eat this sour plum for you!" (To be continued.) )
