Chapter 24: A Long Absence from Family

Shuangmuzi did not stop all the way until the barren mountains in the western suburbs that the old man said.

The barren mountains in the western suburbs are located in the westernmost part of Liangcheng, where the barren mountains are continuous, and there are often wild beasts infested, so there is no one to live;

When they entered the mountains, Shuangmuzi and Cui'er were already silent.

"I said, girl, you found Lihuagang, but here, I really can't walk." Cui'er sat on a broken piece of wood, out of breath.

Shuangmuzi looked at Cui'er, thinking that she was tired; And the entrance to the barren mountain should be only here, according to the old man's words, it should be not far away;

Shuangmuzi continued to walk forward, and couldn't help but worry in his heart, after all, it was a barren mountain, and there were two women at this time, if something happened, it would be difficult to do; Thinking about it, a familiar tree came into view in front of me; The tall pear trees are full of round and plump autumn pears.

Frost Muzi stepped forward excitedly; It is incredible that there is such a pear tree in such a barren mountain.

"This is the pear flower gang that Frost Girl is looking for?" At this time, Cui'er also followed; Looking at a pear tree, I was also amazed.

"I hope so." Frost Muzi walked in.

Among the pear trees, it is like a huge labyrinth; Frost stopped after making two turns; staring ahead, motionless;

Cui'er then followed Frost Muzi's eyes; I saw that on a large stone tablet erected, the two big characters of 'Lin Fu' were carved;

Shuangmuzi walked to the stele with heavy steps, knelt down in front of the stele in a daze, and gently stroked the words on the stele with her jade hand, where her family is buried, her cheerful childhood is buried, and everything about her will be buried; For so many years, her only fantasy was to be able to see her relatives again; Although, she had known for a long time that this was the case.

I don't know how long it took, Shuangmuzi still knelt like this, letting the tears fall on his face, there were so many things he wanted to say in his heart, and he forgot how to speak for a while.

"Frost Maiden?" Although Cui'er didn't know why Shuangmuzi was, she couldn't bear it when she saw Shuangmuzi so sad, so she stepped forward and reminded.

Shuangmuzi was moved, but he stared at the stone tablet in a daze, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Cui'er shook her head lightly and stepped aside.

After a while, Shuangmuzi finally had some reaction, and said, "Cui'er, what time is it?" ”

"Girl, it's almost time." Cui'er walked gently towards Frost Muzi.

Hearing this, Shuangmuzi took a deep look at the stone tablet and slowly got up.

"Beware" Cui'er stepped forward with an arrow.

Because Shuangmuzi knelt on the ground for too long, his legs were already numb, and he accidentally fell when he got up.

"Let's go back." Shuangmuzi glanced at Cui'er, barely supporting her body.

Cui'er was not at ease, and kept helping Shuangmuzi to leave.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the sky; Looking at the departing back, the corners of the mouth outlined a very beautiful amplitude.

"Dark Soul" only listened, and a man's voice was like ice.

"Subordinate in" is another black shadow, flashing in front; This voice is a woman.

"In the future, you will be responsible for the safety of the people." The man's tone was still as cold as frost.

"Yes......" the woman said crisply.

The man glanced at the stele, his eyes showing solemnity, and then prepared to leave.

When the man meant to leave, the woman called "Young Master"

The man just stopped, didn't answer, and didn't turn around.

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "The young master ordered his subordinates to check, and his subordinates have already found out." ”

"Say," the man's extremely cold voice sounded.

"About ten years ago, someone saw a young girl with outstanding appearance in a small village in the north; According to the investigation of his subordinates, the 'Li's' fisherman near Xiaoji Village had taken in this person, and later because of his poor family, he bought and sold it to Yanyulou, and this person was the person who was investigated by the young master. The woman recounted them one by one.

"Is the message accurate?" The man reconfirmed.

"This is what the girl once left, and the Li couple felt guilty about the girl, so they kept it." The woman took something from her waist and offered it with both hands.

The man stretched out his hand to take it, hesitated for a moment and said, "Inform the people of the 'dark workshop' to step up their practice and pay close attention." ”

The woman replied with her head bowed, and there was another black shadow, and the person was gone.

The man looked at the hairpin in his hand, his sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his expression seemed to be sad and happy.

When she returned to the Yanyu Building, the sky was already glowing, and Shuangmuzi didn't know how she walked all the way, but she only knew that her tired body made her unable to support it.

"Oh, my aunt, where did you go this day, I almost reported to the official." As soon as I entered the Yanyu Building, I saw that Du's mother pounced on her anxiously.

Shuang Muzi just lowered his eyes and didn't seem to listen to Du's mother's words.

"Yo~~ I said Muzi, why are your eyes swollen like a peach?" Mother Du saw that Shuang Muzi was in a trance, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and she asked curiously.

"Oh, Mother Du, don't you know, the slave maid and the frost girl were back early, but unfortunately they met a few thieves halfway, and saw that the frost girl was good-looking, so it was difficult, fortunately she met the nobles to help, otherwise" Cui'er knew that Shuang Muzi was not easy to explain, so she made up a lie to relieve her.

"Oh, how unreasonable is that there is such a person in broad daylight." Du's mother did not suspect it, but avoided her feet with an angry face.

"Not really." Cui'er mingled on the side.

"Come, come, come, Frost Girl must be frightened, sit down and have a cup of tea to relieve herself." Du's mother pulled Shuangmuzi and sat down at the table.

"Muzi went back to the room first." After shuangmuzi gestured, he turned to leave.

"This" Du's mother looked at the departing figure, angry and happy.

Cui'er explained; "Mother Du, Miss Shuang is very frightened today!"

"Go, go," Du's mother waved her handkerchief impatiently.

Cui'er also bowed her head; Because Gao Jin was going to take Shuangmuzi and others on a trip recently, Du's mother did not ask Shuangmuzi to appear; And Shuangmuzi has always been worried.
