The room was so dark that nothing could be seen, and only the moonlight shining in through the door could make people faintly see what was going on in the room.

An old woman lying on the bed, although she couldn't see her face clearly, her arm exposed outside the cup was very slender.

Zhou Xinzhi asked Du Jiu to light the oil lamp he brought, and the room finally emitted light.

The old man saw that they didn't scream, nor did they panic, but just looked at Zhou Xinzhi calmly, as if they wanted to see her through, which made Zhou Xinzhi feel a little strange in her heart, and finally the old woman sighed stubbornly.

"I've disturbed everyone, I'm really unwell, so I'm temporarily occupying your yard, and we'll move out tomorrow."

She closed her old eyes, and her whole breath was weak and disordered.

Zhou Xinzhi frowned, grabbed her wrist, and sure enough, as she guessed, the old man's life would not last long, she waved her hand and motioned for the others in the room to go out first.

Although Du Lisheng was worried, the lady signaled them like this, and he was not good at facing the lady.

After a few people left, she looked at the old man in front of her.

"Old man, I guess you also know that your own body can't survive for long, if you leave the house at this time, whether you will live or die is unknown, and the child you are dedicated to protecting may not be good."

The kid said, if the report is over, he hasn't been caught until now, and it is estimated that the old man has been protecting.

"The little lady is right, but I'm not sure who you are, so ......"

"Aren't you already sure?" Zhou Xinzhi smiled faintly, the old man just looked at her, and he didn't call the girl over, nor did he tell her to run away, it was not so much calm as reassured.

Xiu'e swallowed her saliva, her face was still very pale, and her lips were also dry, which made people feel pitiful when they saw it.

"If you tell me a rough idea now, maybe I can be kind enough to protect this girl for you, and you know that if I want to do something, she won't be able to escape."

She wasn't a good person, but she didn't mind helping these two poor people.

The little lady sat down and said. Xiu'e also felt that her words made sense, and she herself knew that this body would not drag on for long.

When Zhou Xinzhi sat on the bed, she heard the old voice sigh and said slowly.

"Xiu'e is just a slave, and I don't want to ask the little master to sleep with me anymore, if the little lady is willing to help me adopt Xiaoyi, Xiu'e will repay you for being a cow and a horse in the next life."

Zhou Xinzhi listened to her words, but frowned, slave? Little master, it seems that the identities of these two people are not ordinary.

"Don't say this kind of frustrating words, although your body has been sick for a long time, but saving you is just a convenient thing, if the child is left to me, I really can't help it, I don't have children, I don't know how to raise children." Zhou Xinzhi shrugged.

Taking advantage of the old woman's stunned effort, she said a word to the system in her body.

"Hurry up and find me a pair of medicinal materials that this old man needs, this is also the last thing I want you to investigate."

She's not a good person, but she doesn't like people to breathe in her house, and this feeling is simply terrible.

She is not afraid of this after accepting life and death, but she is also afraid of trouble, especially a little ghost who still needs to be taken care of.

"But master, this is your last chance."

The system was a little hesitant, although he was lodged in the master's body, but this ability to investigate would be of great use in the future, and the master would use it for an old woman so casually?

"Listen to me, go."

She didn't know why, but she vaguely felt that this person was saved.

"The little lady is a capable person, there will be great achievements in the future, my body is already broken, there is really no need to treat it, and it is in vain to waste the little lady's silver, and I will leave the house by myself tomorrow ......"

"Who wants you to leave, you have occupied this house for so long, and you just left? That's not going to work. ”

Zhou Xinzhi hooked the corners of her lips and smiled faintly at her.

"Don't worry, your illness is not incurable, it's just a little troublesome, you might as well tell me the identities of the two of you, if there is no threat to me, this mansion is so big, it is more than enough to support two people."

The main thing is that she first has to figure out whether these two people are friends or foes for her.

"Have you heard of the Burning Moon Country?"

"Naturally, I have heard of it, after all, it is a neighboring country, and I have heard that the land is rich and everyone lives a leisurely rural life."

This Yanyue Kingdom was still known to her by chance, the last time the guest who came to the fairy soup brought a strange spice, that is, Yanyue Kingdom's, she studied it for a moment, and it did taste good.

"The lord of the Yanyue country is a good god, and he also believes in the gods, so he specially built a god palace in the palace, and my master was invited into the palace by His Majesty, and the little master was still young, so he was left in Jiuqingmen by my master."

"Since ancient times, the existence of gods and spirits has been a metaphysics, but Your Majesty is obsessed with this, and all the big and small things will be asked to my master before deciding, and the master has obtained the true inheritance of the ancestors, and those eyes can also see the life and future of all things in the world, but it is limited, and it can even be said that there is a backlash."

"The life and death of a person can be seen but not said, the number of human lives can be seen but not said, and there are only some small things that can be said, such as natural disasters, which can be prevented, and the point can be stopped."

Speaking of which, Zhou Xinzhi can almost guess it, it is nothing more than the unpredictable heart of the emperor, who accommodated everything at the beginning, and then became insatiable in the future, and finally caused the disaster of killing.

"Later, His Majesty was not satisfied with these little things, he wanted to know his lifespan and his life in the future, but Shizun refused to let go, after all, it is not a trivial matter to fight back, this is also a fatal thing, even our disciples will be affected, in the end, Shizun died under the emperor's knife in order to save us."

"The emperor thinks that our Jiuqingmen are all rabble, and they are all deceitful, and ordered to exterminate our entire Jiuqingmen, and the disciples fled to death, and the lord told me with the last trace of aura that I want to protect the life of the little master, so I will take the little master and run away."

"But there are a lot of emperors, where can I really escape completely, and in the end, I have no choice but to flee here, but I was burned by fire and wounded by arrows along the way, because I had no money to be beaten, and I couldn't bear it."

"When I fled here, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I had to rely on the little master to go out and find food."

After saying the matter, Zhou Xinzhi also knew the inextricable relationship between them, as for whether this old man had such an ability, she was not interested, after all, her future should not rely on any fate, it should depend on herself.

"Then why do you trust me so much?" From the first time the old man saw her, she knew that the man was not guarding against her.

"I said, the little lady is a capable person and will make great achievements in the future, and it is because of this that I believe that the little lady has a good mind." What Xiu'e didn't say was that her life was not only a success, but it should be said that she could change the fate of the country.

But she couldn't say any of this, and fortunately, the little lady didn't ask too many questions.

"That's it, you will be wronged here tonight, tomorrow I will find someone to clean up this house, and you and the child will sleep here in the future, I don't often live here these days, I will work for you to watch, tomorrow I will bring medicine, you will eat for a while, and then the body will recover on its own, but it is a disease caused by overwork, plus a long-term illness has not been treated, don't think it is a terminal illness."

"This ......" Xiu'e's eyes widened, and she didn't know how to react, and she suddenly received such a great favor, she didn't know how to reciprocate.

"Don't feel gracious, I haven't found anyone in this house yet, you two will stay in the house, you can do things for me, as for your talent, you can hide it or try to hide it, I'm not interested, it doesn't mean that others are not interested."

Zhou Xinzhi said this, got up and was about to leave.

"Doesn't the little lady believe in fate?" Xiu'e looked at her dashing back and asked, but saw Zhou Xinzhi shaking her head, and she didn't know if she believed in her fate or denied her words.

"I believe, just a few months ago I didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world, but now I believe it, it's not that I don't believe in fate, I just think that what God arranged makes sense, but my own fate is still determined by myself."

After saying this, she went out, leaving Xiu'e behind her with a stunned face, and it took a long time to laugh.

It didn't take long for Tang Xiaoyi to come in from outside, with a tangled expression on her face.

"Aunt Xiu, are we moving out tomorrow?" has long been accustomed to living a life of eating and sleeping in the open, and it is rare to find a place to live temporarily, Tang Xiaoyi is also a little reluctant to go.

By the light of the oil lamp, Xiu'e rubbed her little head.

"Little master, we don't have to go anymore, the lady of this house is a good person, the little master can always live here in the future, we must remember the great kindness of this lady."

Tang Xiaoyi heard that she could live here, not to mention how happy she was, and the whole person almost jumped up.

"Okay, I also think that sister is a good person, when she saw me just now, she didn't shout to report to the official, but told me to be quiet, as if she was afraid that I would be discovered."

She said the scene of the first time she saw those people, Xiu'e nodded knowingly, and didn't say anything more.

This night, both of them felt much more at ease, I don't know if it was because of Zhou Xinzhi's assurance, or because they had found a long-term place to live.

"Master, this investigation is exempt from you, and I found this medicine for you, a total of a month's dose, all of which are Chinese medicine, and the woman's body needs to be conditioned."

Back at the post station, the system suddenly spoke, but she was still a little surprised when she heard that the number of investigations had been waived.

"What's going on? Why was it suddenly waived? ”
