156 Cannibalism
Two days is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
It was not long for Yu Fuyao, Yu Fuyao hid in the guest room of the Fuhua Inn for two days, and completely fell into the pile of small medicine bottles, day and night, leaving one answer after another, writing that Yu Fuyao felt that he was about to become mechanical. Because she's been sitting there just one thing over and over again.
If it weren't for the occasional Yu Haoran who would come in to accompany her, maybe Yu Fuyao would feel that he would almost forget what to say.
It's not short, but it's for Cheng Yuanrui. Cheng Yuanrui didn't go to the Fuhua Inn for two days, but went to Lin'an Town.
I didn't have time to say anything to Yu Fuyao, but I sent Bai Zu to the palace and reported to Cheng Yuanwei.
Cheng Yuanwei listened to those superficial reports, was silent for a long time, and then gave a few more orders to Bai Zu, and then sent him away.
What was ordered between the two, let's not say it for the time being, but it was Cheng Yuanrui who stood in front of the small dilapidated house in Lin'an Town and frowned.
That's right, it's a small dilapidated house, located in the corner of Lin'an Town, cobwebs, broken walls, and it can be seen that it has been abandoned for many years. But even so, in Lin'an Town, it has been expanded and renovated many times, but this small dilapidated house still exists, as if it has been forgotten, or, deliberately, forgotten?
"Whose place is this?" Cheng Yuanrui asked Bai Yun.
"I didn't find any land deed records in the government, so I don't know whose it is, but some people say that they have seen a masked man who once settled here, and it's a woman." Bai Yun said behind Cheng Yuanrui.
"You think it's a charm?" Cheng Yuanrui asked.
"The subordinates are not sure. It's just that there is something unusual about the storage zĂ i here. Bai Yun replied.
Cheng Yuanrui was still a little frowned, and after walking a few steps around the place, he walked to the side alley.
Bai Yun also hurriedly followed, looking at Cheng Yuanrui's direction, he knew what Cheng Yuanrui meant. "Several families in the neighborhood have asked, but no one knows whose house it is."
"It's broken like this, but it can also block the rain and the sun, why isn't there even a beggar here?" Cheng Yuanrui asked Bai Yun as he walked.
"This ......" Bai Yun couldn't answer.
Cheng Yuanrui didn't wait for Bai Yun's answer, and walked straight to one of the houses. But it was one of the families who could see the condition of this small dilapidated house when he looked up.
Bai Yun hurriedly knocked on the door for Cheng Yuanrui before he did. Cheng Yuanrui did not stop it. But after Bai Yun knocked on the door, he let him retreat.
It was a woman who opened the door, and she opened only one crack in the door, and looked warily at the few people in front of her house. "Who are you looking for?" â
"Big sister. I'm here to see the land. I want to buy the land in front of the house, and I want to know something. Cheng Yuanrui said with a pleasant face.
The woman listened to Cheng Yuanrui's words, but still didn't open the door. He replied directly: "We don't know where it is, it's been like that since we lived here, I haven't seen anyone come back." â
"How long has your family been here?" Cheng Yuanrui asked.
"It's been more than ten years." The woman thought for a moment and said.
"All the time? It's also surprising, I think this place is good, has no one taken a fancy to it? Cheng Yuanrui asked curiously.
The woman looked around carefully, and when she saw the white clouds, she pursed her lips and did not speak.
"That's my subordinate, don't worry." Seeing this, Cheng Yuanrui hurriedly said.
The woman was still very careful, and after looking at it for a while, she opened the door wider, and leaned her head closer to Cheng Yuanrui: "This son, I don't think you look like a person who is short of money, so I will give you a word of advice, don't buy this land." â
"What? Is something wrong? Cheng Yuanrui's surprised look made the woman a little satisfied with her vanity, so she secretly approached again.
"Didn't you notice that there wasn't even a beggar in there?" The woman said to Cheng Yuanrui.
"I've seen this, is it because the government is strict with this place?" Cheng Yuanrui guessed.
"Official?" The woman sneered, as if mocking Cheng Yuanrui's lack of imagination, "This local government can't manage it!" â
"Is there anything else the government can't control?" Cheng Yuanrui continued to be surprised.
"This house will eat people!" The woman said to Cheng Yuanrui mysteriously, "Those beggars, basically they didn't come out alive after they went in!" The woman said with her head half-bowed, somewhat uncertainly, with a shadow on her face.
Cheng Yuanrui gasped and looked at the woman with round eyes, as if he was frightened.
The woman was very satisfied, and couldn't help but open the door a little more, and the person stood outside: "I advise you, it's better to give up here, there are a lot of people who fancy this place, but no one really buys it, who knows what happened?" The woman half-covered her mouth, half frightened and half admonished.
"Thank you, eldest sister, for mentioning it." Cheng Yuanrui stood there and thought about it, and finally arched his hand to the woman, thanked her, and then left with a calm face, as if he was struggling for something.
The woman also saluted casually, and then smiled and watched Cheng Yuanrui leave.
"Childe?" Bai Yun said tentatively to Cheng Yuanrui. Of course, he heard what the woman said.
Cheng Yuanrui looked back at the door that closed quickly, and motioned for Bai Yun to leave together. Halfway through, Cheng Yuanrui asked Bai Yundao, "Have you heard of these things before?" â
Bai Yun shook his head: "I've been here a few times before, but no one in these houses is there, and it seems that they have all gone out." â
But after a pause, Bai Yun remembered something again, and said again: "There are also people who haven't opened the door." Bai Yun remembered that he had heard some movement in the room.
Cheng Yuanrui did not speak. Bai Yun is more hands-on, presumably when he went to ask at that time, he was also dressed like this. Cheng Yuanrui looked at Bai Yun. Dressed in black and masked, it's no wonder people don't open the door.
But it stands to reason that these messages should not be difficult to find out.
"Keep an eye on the people around here." Cheng Yuanrui instructed Bai Yun, "Remember to be careful not to be discovered." â
"Yes!" Bai Yun replied in a low voice, beckoning to the side, and a secret guard appeared beside him.
"Hear me?" Bai Yun asked in a low voice.
"Yes." The man replied.
"Go ahead." Bai Yun didn't say much. The man saluted and vanished.
Then, there were a few slight sounds of breaking the air. But the voices were not directed directly to the hut just now, but ran in the other direction for some distance, before each found a route and turned back to where they were supposed to go.
Cheng Yuanrui nodded slightly, got into an inconspicuous carriage parked a few streets away, and left. (To be continued......)
