Chapter Seventy-Four: The Ice Cave

Du Heng was furious when he saw it, and he naturally couldn't pull out things like "snail spider" and "gloomy", so he pretended to smile calmly: "Tired? What's greasy? I don't understand, I just don't want to die in vain, I want to see what is down here. ”

Du Heng stepped on the filled dirt bag, pretending to be scared and said, "Wow! I didn't know it was this kind of, I didn't dig it if I knew it. But it's not good-looking to be bare on it, so I can go to the market to buy a stone lion, and I can also ward off evil spirits! ”

Master Fan looked at Du Heng with a smile and did not speak.

Du Heng remembered that Master Fan had often shown such an expression before, and suddenly shuddered, secretly saying that this Fan family was so gloomy......

A few days later, Du Heng really bought a stone lion from the market and put it on the bald land next to the inner lake. Next to a fresh and elegant lake, a stone lion does not look so harmonious. But when the people of the Fan family saw it, they praised it again and again, saying that this stone lion was suitable for the occasion and put it well. Some of them are "diligent", and even carry buckets and rags every day to carefully wipe the stone lion up and down, and carefully.

Du Heng himself also knew that the stone lion was not beautiful, this was just to pretend to be stupid and deliberately make a foreign appearance. So, whenever he listened to people praise his masterpiece, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

I only knew that the immortals would make sycophants, but I didn't expect mortals to clap their ass even louder.

Since the last female corpse turmoil, Master Fan's attitude towards Du Heng has become a little subtle. It is not as natural as it is to other subordinates, nor is it polite as it is to guests, in short, it is very unclear. Although Du Heng felt strange, he didn't want to think about it, he still had a lot of things to worry about, and he couldn't figure out what a mortal thought of himself.

However, when the people of the Zhang family saw Du Heng, it was like seeing the plague god. Sometimes Du Heng would go to the flower market to buy some flowers and trees, and occasionally he would meet the descendants of the Zhang family. What made him strange was that he had obviously not seen the descendants of the Zhang family before, but somehow, these people seemed to be very clear about who they were, and they were afraid to avoid them. Zhang Fugui and Mrs. Zhang did not come to Fan's house to make trouble again, and the days actually stopped.

In the dead of night, Du Heng often climbed on the roof to see the moon, and the cold glow reminded him of Mu Yu. Every time he looked at the moon, he would hold up the soul bottle and look through the moonlight. Although the soul bottle is not transparent, and he can't see anything even in the light, he always feels that Mu Yu's soul is talking to him inside, which makes his heart warm.

The weather is getting colder and the snow is falling more and more frequently, and the inner lake of Fan Mansion is gradually frozen. There are koi fish in the lake, and Du Heng is afraid that the fish will suffocate under the ice, so he often digs a few holes in the ice to let the fish come out to breathe.

One day, Du Heng squatted on the ice to dig a hole, and suddenly heard a slight sigh. He looked up and saw Sanxiu standing by the lake in a trance.

Sanxiu wore a red cloak, like a blooming red plum in the snow.

Du Heng didn't want to bother, so he packed up his tools and prepared to leave secretly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got together, he was stopped by Sanxiu.

"Amu, are you digging ice again?"

Du Heng turned his head and smirked: "Yes, this ice cave is chiseled and frozen, chiseled and frozen, and it is quite annoying." ”

Sanxiu sneered and said, "The weather is so cold, of course it will freeze, what's so angry." ”

Du Heng smiled, scratching his head and pretending to be stupid.

Sanxiu looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he cautiously walked to the ice.

Du Heng was shocked: "Miss, what are you doing?" ”

Sanxiu smiled, "I want to come and see the fish too." ”

The ice was slippery, and she struggled to keep her balance with her hands flat, and almost slipped a few times. When she got closer, Du Heng wanted to reach out to support her, but she just looked at Du Heng's hand and didn't take it.

Du Heng retracted his hand curtly and said, "Miss, why did you come out alone?" Where's my sister? ”

"I let her go to the market with Ku Xing, and she accompanies me every day, it's boring," Sanxiu lowered his head, "just like the fish in this lake......"

Du Heng smiled: "The fish won't be stuffy, I'll be diligent and hurry up and dig a few more holes." ”

Sanxiu looked at the breathable fish coming up from the ice cave, and said a little shyly: "That day, thank you for saving me from the sea of suffering." ”

"Huh? Oh! Du Heng deliberately pretended to be stupid, "I didn't mean to help Miss, I just felt sorry for the flower......"

Sanxiu blinked, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mischievous smile, and said, "Daddy asked you, you didn't say, I asked you, didn't you say it?" ”

"I ......"

Du Heng met Sanxiu's gaze, and in a trance, he seemed to see Mu Yu again. didn't pay attention, didn't control his mouth, and said: "Sister-in-law Xiang was poisoned......

"Poisoned?!" Sanxiu's face turned pale.

Only then did Du Heng realize that he had slipped his mouth, and he wanted to slap himself.

He scratched his head, a little at a loss, and then sighed and said, "Alas, tell the young lady the truth, Sister-in-law Xiang was poisoned, so she became abnormal and killed Mrs. Zhang's maidservant." When Mrs. Zhang made a fuss that day, I smelled an unusual smell on her handkerchief, so I asked my sister to go out and check it out, which exposed Mrs. Zhang's conspiracy. That's all I can say to Miss, and Miss won't ask again. ”

Sanxiu listened to Du Heng in surprise, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Amu, why don't you say 'me'?" ”

"I ......"

Du Heng was surprised in his heart, he suddenly found that the tone he had just spoken had somehow returned to normal.

Sanxiu shook his hand and said with a smile: "Don't 'me', I don't want to, as early as the day of Yizhuang, I knew that Tian Tao was not an ordinary person, and you dug up the body of Xiang's sister-in-law by this lake, so I knew that you were not an ordinary person." Your real name isn't Amu, is it? ”

Du Heng smiled helplessly and said, "Miss is smart and clever, and she can even see this." ”

"What's so clever about that? In fact, my father can see it, but he doesn't want to say it. Sanxiu smiled even more cheerfully, "So, what's your real name?" ”

Du Heng glanced at Sanxiu deeply, then looked away, and said, "Miss, let's call me Amu." ”

Sanxiu smiled softly and said, "Okay, since you have something unspeakable, I don't want to ask more." ”

Du Heng looked at the leather gloves on Sanxiu's hands, and suddenly said, "Miss, you really ......"

Sanxiu followed Du Heng's gaze, also looked at the gloves, and then nodded lightly, his eyes were sad.

Du Heng saw the white breath exhaled from Sanxiu's delicate nose, and suddenly thought of the day when Mrs. Li deceived the corpse, the female corpse blew on everyone's faces, and then thought of the gossip of the two entourages who carried the corpse, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Miss......" Du Heng asked tentatively, "Li Niangniang parked in Yizhuang, but your grandmother?" ”

Sanxiu was like being struck by lightning, she looked at Du Heng's eyes in a daze, her face was bloodless.

"You...... How do you know? ”

Du Heng looked at Sanxiu with sympathy and said, "I'm just guessing. People will not cheat the corpse for no reason, besides, Li Niangniang absorbs the anger of the living at night, and the corpse is extremely agile and powerful, and it is not like ordinary people can cheat the corpse. ”

He paddled his feet haphazardly across the ice, and the thin snow on his face was drawn into the ice hole.

"I heard two of Master Fan's entourage say that day that Li Niangniang has some relationship with Old Lady Fan, and it seems that she still has Old Lady Fan's flesh and blood," Du Heng secretly glanced at Sanxiu, "And this flesh and blood is unknown later, and you have this 'stunt' ......"

Sanxiu's eyes were very complicated, alternating between shock, sadness, and pain, and then passing away suddenly. She looked up at the clouds in the sky, and said faintly: "You guessed right, Li Niangniang is indeed my grandmother, and my 'father' is actually my uncle......

Du Heng didn't interrupt, just listened patiently.

"Since I can remember, I haven't seen my father and mother, and my current father has always raised me as an adult." Sanxiu lifted the leather gloves up, "Although I am not my father's biological daughter, my father has always treated me very well, and he has never even married a wife in his life, because he is afraid that others will bully me when they see that I am an outsider." These things were also told to me by my father later. After I learned the truth, my father said that I could call him uncle when there were no outsiders, but I was still willing to call him Daddy, because he was the only one who was most like my father......"

As he spoke, Sanxiu's eyes filled with tears, and his voice choked.

Du Heng couldn't see a girl crying, every time he saw a girl crying, he didn't know what to do. He rubbed his hands awkwardly, wanting to touch Sanxiu's arm but didn't dare.

"However, what do you mean when you say that my grandmother cheated the corpse, 'not something ordinary people can do'?" Samsu suddenly stopped crying.

Du Heng's expression became serious, and he said, "Miss, I don't think this 'stunt' of yours is not a curse. ”

"What's that?"

Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "It should be some kind of divine power." ”

"Divine power?" Sanxiu seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and suddenly laughed, "How can there be a divine power in the world that always takes people's lives?" If that's the case, then don't have this divine power. ”

Du Heng smiled awkwardly, explaining these things to a mortal was indeed like a fantasy.

Sanxiu's eyes glanced at Du Heng's hand, and said with concern: "Amu, are you cold?" ”

Du Heng looked down and found that his hands were red from the cold, and his fingertips were even a little unconscious.

I am really becoming more and more like a mortal, although I have not experienced much harsh winters in Ganzao before, but if I have cultivation to protect my body, how can I freeze my hands numb because of this cold. It's really not what it used to be.

"Hearing you say that, I feel a little cold." Du Heng smiled, looked at Sanxiu's leather gloves, and quipped, "Miss, you must be very warm wearing leather gloves, right?" ”

Samsu looked down at his leather gloves and fell silent again.

Du Heng realized that he had said the wrong thing, he pretended to cough twice, looked at the warm sun on the horizon, and said with a smile: "Miss, look, the weather is so good today, and there is no one around, why don't you take off your gloves and breathe?" ”

Sanxiu shook his head and said, "Aren't you human?" I've taken off my gloves, I'm going to be dangerous for you! ”

Du Heng patted his chest with a big grin and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid." Besides, the two of us just stand still here, as long as you don't touch me, I'll be fine. ”

Sanxiu looked at Du Heng's fearless appearance, smiled, and gently took off his leather gloves. Her hands were slender and slender, and her bones were distinct, as white as water.

Du Heng narrowed his eyes.

This hand is so similar to Mu Yu's hand.

Suddenly, a koi fish jumped out of the water in the ice cave and almost jumped onto Sanxiu's clothes. Sanxiu was so frightened that he dodged, but the soles of his feet slipped and fell straight to the ice hole.

Du Heng didn't have time to react, and subconsciously reached out to pull Sanxiu's hand. The moment the two hands touched, Du Heng only felt that Sanxiu's fingers were cold and slippery, so thin that he could hold the bones with a grip.

Sanxiu stood firm, and was surprised to find that his hand was actually holding with Du Heng's hand, and Du Heng looked good, and there was no change at all.

"You...... Are you alright?! You won't die! Sanxiu cried with joy.
