Zheng Jin saw that he couldn't stop Lang Jun, so he was so anxious that cold sweat was pouring on his forehead, so he said again: "Although Ah Jiu is strong, he is not pure yang after all, it is best to lead the outer court to join him again." ”

"No need, Auntie forgot, I also have Xiangrui Town."

Li Tong flicked his fingers at the Yongchang jade coin on his waist as he spoke, he just wanted to find out what was going on in the case of trying to keep it as secret as possible, whether it was someone doing a ghost or a real supernatural event, how could a group of people rush in in a hurry.

Zheng Jin glanced down at the Yongchang jade coin, and her mood was slightly settled, but she still told Li Tong to wait for a while, and she hurried out again, and found peach charms and other evil spirits for Lang Jun to put away.

So the three of them formed a ghost hunting team and went straight to the west garden in the mansion.

Li Tong's family mansion is located in the southwest corner of Lushun Fang, Yishui just flows eastward because of his mansion, and the separation between the mansion and the river embankment is only a dozen steps, and part of the water flow is directly introduced into the house, forming a lake and pond covering an area of seven or eight acres in the house, and the pond is gardened.

Regardless of anything else, in terms of scenery alone, Li Tong's mansion is really good. Shendu canals, Yishui is the clearest, its water is two, flows into the city from the east and west square districts of Changxiamen, and gathers the west of Xianfang in the city to become first-class, and continues to flow to the east.

Bai Juyi's "Chishang Chapter" has: the prosperity of the capital's climate, water and wood is in the southeast corner, the southeast is in the track, and the victory in the northwest is in the northwest corner. This is to show off his Crawler Mansion.

In other words, the mansion that is so beautiful in later generations that Bai Juyi is full of praise is located on the south side of the Li Tong Hedong Palace, and the two houses are separated by a water, and the beauty of the water and wood of the Hedong Wangdi does not need to be said. Bai Juyi's mansion covers an area of only 17 acres, and the Hedong Mansion is more than twice as large as his home.

In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi's good friend Yuan Zhi lived in the letter workshop, and the two were separated by a Yishui singing and continuously. Thinking of these humanistic stories, Li Tong has a bit of a sense of bad taste for a third party to intervene.

After passing through the left compartment across the courtyard, the three of them came to the outside of the West Garden. There are no servants to live here, which shows that Zheng Jin is very secretive.

A long corridor separates the courtyard, and there is a north-south brick wall separating the garden and the house, the wall is painted with vermilion, and the inside and outside are mixed with peach and plum. Now it is midsummer in May, the branches and leaves of the fruit trees are luxuriant, the peach blossoms are scattered, and some branches have hung fruits, the green color is red, and the fruity fragrance is attractive.

Li Tong was about to cross the arch, but was pulled by Zheng Jin: "Ah Lang really wants to ......"

"How can you not dare to enter your own courtyard."

Li Tong smiled slightly, and then went inward again.

There is a path paved with bluestone in the garden, in addition to the peach and plum behind the wall, there is a bamboo forest at first, the green bamboo stands upright, green and pleasant. There are patches of gardens between the bamboo forests, and flowers and trees are planted in the gardens, or cattails are grown.

But it can also be seen that it is indeed lacking in care, the grass and trees are too prosperous, and even there are melon vines crawling on the stone path, and some melons and fruits have grown to the size of a fist.

Passing through the bamboo forest, the vision gradually opens up, there are weeping willows growing by the water, the long and narrow garden pond is crystal clear, and there are stone embankments, rockeries, pavilions and pavilions for viewing the scenery around the pond.

The sill of the garden surrounded by wood and stone is covered with moss, and there are unpruned flowers and trees growing wantonly in the sill, including common flowers such as peonies and peonies, as well as flowers that Li Tong can not identify, all of which are in full bloom and are extremely gorgeous.

The pond formed by Yishui into the garden occupies one-third of the space of the whole garden villa, the north corner of the garden pond is built with a three-storey pavilion, and there are chambers on both sides of the pavilion to hug, and the building is a peach forest, and the pavilion can overlook the garden landscape.

However, the most eye-catching thing in the garden is a small island made of earth and rocks in the center of the garden, and Li Tong found that the Tang people particularly like this kind of river island surrounded by water on all sides. Shendu Garden, Jiuzhou Pond, including Taoguang Garden in the south of Xuanwu Gate, and even the Tianjin Bridge across Luoshui, the bridge foundation is located in the middle of the river on two symmetrical river islands from north to south.

Such a river island is surrounded by water on all sides, and there are both water and wood scenery in addition to privacy, and houses are built on it, and the scenery is pleasant.

The area of this river island in the garden pond is not large, and it should be between two or three acres from a distance, and it is an oval. There are dense irises growing in the part that is connected with the pond water, and there are two eaves pavilions in the front and back in the northerly position, because there are grass and trees to cover it, standing on the shore can not get a glimpse of the whole picture of the river.

Zheng Jin saw Lang Jun walking towards the trestle bridge connecting Hezhou, his expression became nervous again, and he said in a low voice: "Ah Jiu hurry up, you must protect the king!" Poultry used to be grazed here, and after a night they disappeared......"

Zheng Jin's nervousness also made Yang Siqiao become nervous, the bamboo cane in his hand creaked, he followed closely behind the king, and the rough breath that snorted and spewed straight into the back of Li Tong's head, so that Li Tong became a little nervous: "Ah Jiu, you step back, I always feel the fierce ghost squirting behind me." ”

Hearing the king say this, Yang Siqiao's face collapsed, revealing an embarrassed expression that seemed to cry and laugh, and he could only suppress his breathing, but he still didn't dare to fall too far behind.

"This garden is really beautiful. If there is no trace of it, you can live here for a long time to escape the heat. ”

Li Tong walked onto the trestle while enjoying the scenery.

At the moment, although the season has not yet officially entered the ambush, the temperature is getting hotter. Li Tong's house is adjacent to Yishui, which is much cooler than other places, but it is also hot and stuffy in the daily room.

The plants and trees in the garden pond are flourishing, the flowers are flourishing, and there is living water flowing, the water vapor is steaming, the cool breeze is blowing, and it is much more refreshing than the previous courtyard.

He was still enjoying the scenery here, but Zheng Jin's face became more and more frightened, he approached and grabbed the crook of his arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Did Ah Lang hear it, did he hear it?" ”

Li Tong listened attentively, and sure enough, there were some sharp sounds mixed with the wind and birdsong, which sounded like a whimper, which was very weird. He turned his head to look at Yang Siqiao again, only to see that this Kong Wu eunuch was also nervous at this time, and it was obvious that he had also heard those strange voices.

"Auntie is not as good as ......"

Li Tong originally wanted Zheng Jin to stay temporarily, but he thought that many horror film groups were wiped out from the separation of the members, so he raised his hand and patted Zheng Jin's arm in the crook of his arm, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be nervous, even if there is a monster, it is difficult to hurt the king, I want to see what kind of weirdness is pretending to be a ghost!" ”

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked straight to the trestle, carefully discerning the direction from which the strange sound was coming from.

The further he went, the clearer the strange sound became, and although Zheng Jin was frightened, he saw that Lang Jun was still stubbornly moving forward, so he gritted his teeth and followed, and tried to restrain himself from making a sound.

"What's that?"

When approaching Hezhou, Li Tong saw a corner of the trestle pile sticking out of a cage that seemed to be made of green bamboo, and raised his hand to point. Yang Siqiao leaned out of the trestle and gently hooked it with a bamboo cane, and then hooked out a bamboo basket with a large belly and a narrow neck, and the water drained out, and there were two palm-sized, lively swimming fish in the bamboo basket.

"It's a fishing basket!"

Yang Siqiao wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned to the king and said, he shook his hand and poured the swimming fish into the pond water, and found a few soaked white chicken bones at the bottom of the bamboo basket.

"No, it's not a house slave who sets ......"

Zheng Jin stammered and said: "I entered the park first, there were not many people, and I noticed that it was strange, and I didn't let others enter again." Who's doing this? ”

Li Tong grabbed the bamboo basket and shook it, and saw that the front end of the bamboo basket had a small mechanism made of thin bamboo pipes, similar to a pan flute, and bent down to try to dip in the water.

"Ju, how is that?"

When Zheng Jin saw this scene, his eyes widened, and he turned a little embarrassed: "Who is it?" Dare to do such teasing? ”

Li Tong's fingers touched the green stubble of the bamboo basket, and the corners of his mouth were raised, which was obviously not an old thing. He threw the bamboo basket on the deck of the trestle bridge and shook the water stains on his hands: "Keep walking, let's see what is going on today!" ”

Yang Siqiao walked forward, waving the bamboo cane in his hand, sweeping away the reeds that jumped to the bridge deck, and did not forget to turn around and advise: "The king is careful of slippery feet." ”

After crossing the trestle bridge and arriving at the river island, the dense reeds flooded the original road. Reeds, a fast-growing aquatic weed, will grow barren if they are not tended in one season, making the river island feel barren and dilapidated.

Yang Siqiao waved his staff to draw a barely feasible road, and then turned around and helped the king to walk over, and after passing through the reeds, he came to the open space of the river island, where one side was still a garden, and the other side was the building on the river island. Dead grass and weeds are scattered on the flat ground paved with bluestone, and there are even thin bamboos that pry up the ground and grow out of the cracks in the stones.

This kind of river island environment is good, but because of the abundance of water and grass, the requirements for gardening are higher, and a little neglect will appear deserted. Even the pavilion building was obviously dilapidated due to water vapor erosion, peeling paint color, water invasion and insect damage.

Yang Siqiao was about to step forward to open the doors and windows of the pavilion, but Li Tong raised his hand to hold it, pointed to the obvious moss stampede marks on the ground, and waved his hand to signal a temporary retreat. Now that it has been determined that it is a human track and not a sneaky one, the three of them are still too thin, although Yang Siqiao can fight, who knows if there is any strong bow and crossbow in the gap of the closed pavilion that is pointing to the outside world.

Although Yang Siqiao was a little unwilling, he did not dare to risk the king's life, escorted Li Tong and Zheng Jin back to the trestle and said: "Auntie and accompany the king to exit the garden first, and then ask the king to decide." ”

Zheng Jin looked ashamed and afraid: "Ah Lang Yuan paid me, but I believed in the monster in vain, and I was infiltrated by thieves ......"

"It's not a big deal."

Li Tong waved his hand, signaling that Zheng Jin didn't have to blame himself, after confirming the traces of the person, when he exited just now, he carefully observed the environment of Hezhou, and then found that the flower branches in the garden had obvious traces of being taken care of, guessing that it should not be a strong man sneaking in to do something assassinating and dangerous, otherwise this killer would be too lively: "Maybe a certain fugitive slave is hiding here." ”

"Just try it."

Yang Siqiao believed in the judgment of the king, turned back to the pavilion with a bamboo cane, ran in a snake line and shouted: "Where are the thieves, dare to violate your mansion? Hurry up! Otherwise, the guards will surround the pond and die on the spot! ”

Suddenly, there was a cracking sound in the other side of the pavilion, and then a nimble figure shot out and disappeared into the dense reeds. Li Tong stretched out his head to look, and could see a figure swimming in the clear pool water, swimming into the distance like a fish, and the speed was staggering.

"This—This is ......"

Zheng Jin was directly stunned when he saw this scene. Li Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing great interest.
