Chapter 91: The Point of No Return (2)
I thought that I would only stay in Xin'an County for a short time, or only rest for a few days as stipulated in the original plan, and then go to Nankang County to find news about Hu Xiaowei. Unexpectedly, several disciples of Lingxian Pavilion who came out of the mountain seemed to have some kind of nosy quality. A few people could have rested peacefully for a few days in Xin'an County, but they still played this trait and took care of something that had nothing to do with them in Xin'an County.
When the sky lit up slightly on the second day, Ouyang Ruolin suddenly woke up for some reason. In a trance, she got up and walked to the window, stopping to watch for a while. Little by little, the sky lit up, and the vendors on the street saw the time to arrive on the street, and then the number of pedestrians also increased. There were passers-by who knew each other well on the street and couldn't help but greet each other again. Ouyang Ruolin seemed to be awakened by this greeting voice, came back to her senses, looked out the window for a while, and then turned back to the bed and sat like that. Gradually, the sky finally brightened, and the pedestrians on the street couldn't help but get up, and the sleeping people finally woke up with this sound and the gradually brightening sky, and Xuan Zhuyi and a few people also got up and packed up their things and prepared to walk around Xin'an County. Ouyang Ruolin's face was full of confusion when she came down from the second floor, Xuan Zhuyi saw her like this, so he asked casually: "Ruolin?" What happened to you? Why is your face so bad? Didn't you get a break last night? ”
Ouyang Ruolin noticed Xuan Zhuyi's question, and replied truthfully: "It's nothing, senior brother, I slept well last night." It was this morning that something happened that I thought was a little strange and a little incomprehensible. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Strange thing? What's wrong? ”
Ouyang Ruolin: "When the sky was still slightly bright this morning, I inexplicably seemed to be awakened by something, so I unconsciously got up and stood by the window to look outside. When it was completely light, I seemed to have a little consciousness of myself, and I turned around and went back to the bed. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Do you think it's strange that the thing that woke you up?"
Ouyang Ruolin: "On the one hand, it's this, and on the other hand, it's my consciousness. Actually, there's nothing strange about it, but I just feel awkward, and I can't say exactly what is awkward and strange. The other thing is that I feel like something is going to happen today. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Don't think too much, maybe it's because you're too tired these days, and if you pay more attention to rest, there should be nothing to do." Don't think about it anymore, nothing will happen with us. Ouyang Ruolin nodded and said no more.
A few people cleaned up casually and went out together. The streets of Sin'an-gun are different from the streets of the capital, but they also look very prosperous. Everyone walked around and walked for another distance, and when they came to the door of a mansion, the eyes of several people were attracted by one person. It was a young woman, sitting on a step not too far from the mansion. Looking at this girl's clothes, she doesn't look like a girl from a poor family, on the contrary, her clothes should be considered a very good one, but now I don't know why, I always feel that she is very embarrassed. As expected, doubts arose in the hearts of the crowd about the girl's identity and why she was sitting here. As a result, the nosy nature of everyone's hearts comes into play. Ouyang Ruolin stepped forward and patted the girl's shoulder gently, and asked softly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" How to sit here? ”
The girl raised her head and looked at Ouyang Ruolin who was standing beside her, describing her as very haggard. Her eyes were originally full of gloom, but the moment she saw Ouyang Ruolin, there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes, but it was just a flash. She didn't say anything, but got up and left. Everyone felt a little strange when they saw this girl's behavior, but they also felt a little uneasy, so they silently followed behind this girl, wanting to see where she was going and what she wanted to do. I saw that the girl walked to a riverside and walked along the river dam all the way inside. Seeing that the situation was wrong, everyone hurriedly chased after them. Mu Zhixi took the lead and rushed to the front to pull the girl back. Ignoring the girl's struggles, they grabbed and pulled her back to safety, and deliberately took her a little farther away from the river. The girl may have been tired of struggling, or she may have felt that no amount of struggle would be useless, so she let the crowd lean her against the tree, and a light flashed in her eyes at some point.
Mu Jinggong: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? You tell us, maybe we can help you? ”
"You can't help me, none of you can help me. Just leave me to fend for myself, and leave me alone. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "We can't say that, since what happened today has been seen by us, we should take care of it."
"Being nosy is going to cost you your life."
Mu Jinggong: "People like us who are running around don't know where their lives have been handed over for a long time, so why are we afraid of you?"
Shang Ling: "Girl, believe us, we are not bad people, but out of kindness, I can't bear to see you like this, so I want to help you solve this matter." If you don't have a solution here, why don't you tell us, maybe we can help you solve this problem? ”
The girl hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a lot of determination, and finally spoke: "My name is Lichuqian, and I used to be the eldest lady of Lifu. But now, it's nothing. ”
Mu Zhixi: "What's going on?"
Li Chuqian: "Maybe you should ask the current family members of the house."
Ouyang Ruolin: "The current family member who left the house?"
Everyone thought about it for a moment, and suddenly a picture flashed through their minds. Just when everyone found out that they were away from Chu Qian, next to that, there was a mansion, which was the departure mansion.
Xuan Zhuyi: "Who is the current family member who left the house?"
Li Chuqian sneered and said, "My uncle."
Ouyang Ruolin: "Didn't your uncle drive you out of the mansion?"
Li Chuqian: "It's not that he personally drove me out of the house, but his daughter, my own sister, the eldest lady who is now leaving the house, is leaving Yulan."
Shang Ling: "It's all a family, what kind of grudge do you have, you have to drive you out of the house?"
Li Chuqian: "What else can I do for it?" Isn't that the right that everyone wants? Money, power, status, isn't it what everyone wants? ”
Everyone suddenly didn't know what to say, so they were all silent. Li Chu Qian stood up and said slowly: "This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, so you should not worry about it anymore."
Mu Zhixi: "Leave the girl, don't think about it!"
Li Chuqian: "No, there is no point." If you have anything to do with me, look for me at the temple on the edge of the city. Now I have nowhere to go, and leaving home is no longer my home. That's it, thank you. ”
Mu Zhixi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu Jinggong, who was standing beside him, and stopped saying anything. After seeing Chu Qian leave and confirming that she would not do anything like suicide, everyone also returned to the inn. Today's group encountered this kind of thing, and everyone's mood suddenly felt a little bad. While eating, Xuan Zhuyi began to tentatively ask the shopkeeper about something.
Xuan Zhuyi: "This brother, let me ask you about a person?"
Shopkeeper: "Master Ke, you say."
Xuan Zhuyi: "I wandered around your Xin'an County this morning, and I seem to have seen a good mansion. Do you have a departure from Sin'an County? ”
Shopkeeper: "Leaving the house? Yes! ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "That departure from the house seems to be pretty good from the outside, it must be a big family, right?"
Shopkeeper Er: "Big family! It is the largest family in Sinan-gun! ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "What does their family do?" How big is the family business? ”
Shopkeeper Er: "Their family has a silk cloth village in our Xin'an County, and there are many other shops."
Xuan Zhuyi: "Who is the master of their family?" I think it's not easy to make the industry so big! ”
Shopkeeper Er: "Their family is now in charge of Changfeng."
Xuan Zhuyi: "Now? Listen to what you mean, their family has also changed heads? ”
Shopkeeper: "Naturally, it has been changed." It turned out that the head of the house was from Changyun, and later it was from Changfeng. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "Listen to the name, what is the relationship between the two of them?"
Dian Xiaoer: "They are brothers, and Changfeng is Changyun's younger brother."
Xuan Zhuyi: "I see. What happened to Changyun, why did he suddenly change the head of the house when he left the house? ”
Shopkeeper: "Because the former head of the house left Changyun due to illness."
Xuan Zhuyi: "Sick? What disease? Why did you leave? ”
Shopkeeper: "We don't know the specifics. The news that came from the house at the time of leaving the house was that Changyun left due to illness, and no one has investigated the specific reason. ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "I see. What kind of heirs does this Changyun have? Didn't he have a son? How did the family pass on to his younger brother? ”
Shopkeeper Er: "Li Changyun has no son, only one daughter, named Li Chuqian."
Xuan Zhuyi asked tentatively, "Is this Chu Qian in the Leaving Mansion?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Master Ke, can you taste this meal today to your liking?"
Xuan Zhuyi was stunned for a moment because of this wrong question, but he still replied very politely: "Appetite, appetite."
The shopkeeper smiled: "That's fine." Master, you're a little tired after a day of shopping in Xin'an County today, right? After eating, go back to sleep. People should always have to rest. I won't bother you here, I'll go to the back first, and then call me if you have anything. With that, the shopkeeper ran to the back with a smoke.
Xuan Zhuyi had doubts in his heart at this moment: "Why did the shopkeeper deliberately avoid talking about the matter of leaving Chu Qian?" What's going on here? ”
