"You go with me, we can check that matter together when we get back." Xiao Lei whispered in Shi Manman's ear.

Xiao Lei ordered Zhang Xu to investigate the results of the copper lock, which was the same as Xiao Lei thought, without the slightest clue. That lock is the one that locks Xiao Lei's study. Because Xiao Lei spent almost all of his days in the study, the lock was left in the corner and never moved, and the key was also put together with the lock.

The only thing they know is that the lock is there, and the key is nowhere to be seen. Yunxi jumped out to identify Yalian that day, so their suspicions were focused on Yunxi. In their observation, they found that Yunxi's guts could not be the mastermind at all, so Shi Manman asked Xiao Lei to transfer Yunxi to her courtyard before Xiao Lei left, and still be a rough maid.

"It's not just that." Shi Manman stared at Xiao Lei's slightly lost gaze after being rejected. She sighed softly, "There are some things I think are simple. You're leaving just in time to get out of the vortex here, and I want to prove something. ”

Xiao Lei was stunned and wondered: "What's the matter?" "Shi Manman actually had something to hide from him.

"It's not convenient to say here." Shi Manman glanced around with his peripheral vision, and the gaze that seemed to drift here unintentionally.

Xiao Lei took a deep breath to stabilize the increasingly obvious sense of powerlessness in his heart, took a step back and said, "Take care of yourself, wait for me to come back." ”

Shi Cranberry trembled slightly in her sleeves, she suddenly thought of something, reached into her sleeve and took out a hairpin. The inky black material is simple without a trace of lines, but the length of the stone vine's palm may be shorter if you want to curl your hair. It's this strange hairpin, and there is nothing else to praise except for the warmth of the tentacles.

This hairpin was given to her by Xiao Lei when Shi Manman took a fancy to her in a stall. At this time, Xiao Lei looked at the stone vine who handed him the hairpin suspiciously, and he didn't know what the other party meant.

"When I was bored playing a few days ago, maybe because of the material, I found that this hairpin can store spiritual power. My spiritual power is different from ordinary demons, and I don't have demonic energy. You can avoid the evil with it, and I can sense you. The stone vines turned into a line and passed into Xiao Lei's ears, but there was another saying in his mouth: "Let you see things and think about people." ”

This sentence was followed by the secret sound of the stone vines, and there seemed to be some ridicule and an unknown sour taste in the tone.

Yalian couldn't help but laugh out loud for a while, because she saw that Yun Bi's blue face was getting darker and darker. The girl's move is really ruthless.

Xiao Lei was obviously embarrassed by Shi Manman's words, it was not the first time he had heard Shi Manman's confession, but this was indeed the first time he said something that made him blush in front of everyone.

"I ...... I'm going. Xiao Lei took the hairpin and carefully put it in his arms, as if he was carrying this piece of tofu, for fear that he would be crushed by himself if he was not careful.

Looking at their appearance, I don't know where Xiao Lei didn't plan to take the maid on the road at all. Grandmother Xiao is not an uninteresting person, she stopped talking when she saw her grandson's attitude, Xiao Jin even quipped: "Miss Shi's straight temperament is really enviable, but Lei'er is twisted like a woman." ”

Grandmother Xiao coughed and said, "It's almost time, and there will be time in the future." ”

Xiao Lei looked at Grandmother Xiao, a trace of worry crossed his eyes, he heard the dissatisfaction from his grandmother's words, and his grandmother's gaze at Shi Manman, without the kindness of the past, became jealous and worried.

"If the Xiao Mansion is not comfortable, it will not be lived. Don't grieve yourself. After Xiao Lei whispered the last sentence in Shi Manman's ear, he finally disappeared in everyone's eyes after the horse's hooves flew.

"Let's disperse. Jin'er, where is your mother? Why didn't she come when Lei'er traveled? Grandmother Xiao turned her head and asked Xiao Jin, who was supporting her.

Xiao Jincai's stretched face stiffened, and he slowly spoke: "Auntie, she ...... Sick. ”

"Sick?" Grandmother Xiao was stunned. "Your body has finally improved, but your mother is sick all day long. Hmph, I'll just say it's unlucky. Grandmother Xiao walked into the gate of the Xiao Mansion with Xiao Jin's support, and Shi Manman was left behind by them, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

The cold wind blew all morning, and the stone vines pushed open the wing room, and the heating of the charcoal stove came in instead. The little hooked snake "swished" and sat on the charcoal fire plate, squinting comfortably at the corners of its eyes.

This year's temperature dropped faster than usual, and it was not yet late in winter when a thin frost formed on the roof. Shi Manman, perhaps because of his perennial residence at the peak of Kunlun, is happy about the arrival of such a season. The low temperature allowed her to find a trace of reluctance to be related to Kunlun.

"You really can't find Lu Guang?" Shi Manman sent Yun Bi and Ya Lian away, and asked the little hooked snake again.

Since that time when Lu Guang was lost in Yuan Changqing's mouth, no matter how hard the little hooked snake tried, he couldn't smell a trace of Lu Guang.

"Can't find it." The little hooked snake replied lazily, not even wanting to open its eyes to meet the stone vines.

"Huh? The smell of blood? The little hooked snake finally opened its eyes and looked at the window to the east.

Shi Man's sense of smell was not as sharp as that of the little hooked snake, and after the little hooked snake reminded her, she walked to the east window, and after opening it, she felt that there was indeed a faint smell of blood. Because of the cold weather, the smell is not obvious.

She leaned out of the window and looked around.

After winter, the withered residual flowers hang and wither, and occasionally the stubborn withered flowers have wrinkled lines, but they are high and unwilling to fall into the sludge. lost his glamorous appearance, and trembled in the wind. Only one of the petals is still bright red.

The stone vines rolled over and walked towards the withered flowers of many strange colors. Squatting down and stretching out his white fingers, pinching and pulling out the two fingers. The withered flowers trembled even more, and even shook off the petals that had long been unable to support them, and fell to the ground.

She placed the more colorful petal in the palm of her hand, leaving a powdery red layer on her index finger.

She put her palm close to her nose and sniffed, the breath of blood burrowing into her nose.

A breeze blew away the fragments of flowers in her palm, Shi Manman slowly stood up and looked in a certain direction, and the next moment he didn't care about the little hooked snake lying by the window and didn't want to come out, and jumped in the direction where the wind was blowing.

Between several ups and downs, Shi Manman avoided the sight of all the people on the road and landed steadily in a courtyard.

Since the fire broke out in Moyuanju, the stone vines have never come in the daylight. At this time, Mo Yuanju has changed. The ruined side rooms had been completely repaired, and the wood paint still exuded a faint fragrance, but the bare green bamboo near the study testified to the disaster that had occurred in the courtyard.

At this time, there was no one in Xiao Lei's courtyard, the courtyard door was locked, and all the subordinates were temporarily arranged in the guest room where Xiao Lei temporarily lived. Mo Yuanju waited until a few days before Xiao Lei came back, and no one would come in to take care of it.

"Come out." Shi Manman stared at the closed doors and drank coldly.

"It's boring. You found it. The voice of the owl sounded from behind a door, and the stone vine raised her hand and threw a gust of wind from under her sleeve, flying towards the door from which the voice came from.

The crimson wooden door was shaken open, and a slender figure dressed in a blue and black shirt and golden silk python boots appeared in front of Shi Manman's eyes.

Demon Zhi's face and gloomy gaze, his lips were stained scarlet with blood at this time. The male and female indisputable appearance, isn't it that I haven't seen An Ge for a long time?
