Fallen Leaves Return to the Sycamore Chapter 31 Stealing the Manxiang Building

The two came to the room where Xu Qi'an once lived, pushed open the door, and the light was dim.

Su Qu was about to step in, but was stopped by Xun Liang.

The room was dimly lit, and as I approached the door, I felt a cold smell blowing over my face. Looking at the bed from here, Xun Liang looked for a direction and found that he couldn't see the location of the bed.

Wanxiao was lying, and she didn't light a candle, and she couldn't see the inside of the house from here.

Su Qu immediately understood that Mother Zhang was not found here at all, but why did Wanxiao say that it was Mother Zhang who was found here?

"Mr. Xun, the top priority is to know what happened back then, find the real murderer, and avenge Xiao An......" Su Qu said.

"Yes." Xun Liang looked around Xu Qi'an's room, and suddenly remembered that there was a painting hanging in that room yesterday.

Could it have something to do with that painting?

When I left, I thought the painting was a little weird.

"Let's go and have a look at last night's room." Xun Liang said.

......

Bai Taoli and the wood ghost quietly slipped out of Lingyi and ran all the way to the front of Manxiang Building.

Now there is no one in front of Manxiang Building, and all the women and guests in Manxiang Building have been sent away, but there is still one woman left, who smiles.

Maybe someone is doing something wrong again, but it has only been less than three hours since I learned the news, and now there is no one on the street.

A few fallen leaves on the ground looked particularly pitiful, and a gust of wind blew, and they slid on the ground a few times and then drifted away.

The shops on both sides also closed early, and the lanterns hanging at the door swayed left and right with the wind, and the whole street looked lifeless, perhaps to avoid suspicion, after all, Zhang's mother in this Manxianglou died suddenly and tragically, or in the heart of this bustling street.

Bai Taoli and the wood ghost did not rush into the Manxiang Building after they came here, Su Qu and Xun Liang should still be in the Manxiang Building at the moment, so they walked along this street.

"Wood ghost, it's strange here today...... No one ......" Bai Taoli looked at the empty street, and suddenly an empty sense of loss arose in her heart.

In the past, I couldn't see the end here, but now that there are people dead in Manxianglou, there are no people on this street, so I feel that I can look to the end.

It turns out that the street is not very long either...... Bai Tao Li thought.

Now that Xu Qi'an is gone, she doesn't know what to do about the whole thing...... It's a pity that I can't help Master and Su City Lord.

The wood ghost followed Bai Taoli and walked slowly, both of them having their own concerns.

When will I be able to avenge my people? There was a little more melancholy in the wood ghost's eyes, they had been very happy with Bai Taoli in the past few days, but once she remembered it, she would feel very uncomfortable.

The woman in red has no clues, and her revenge for exterminating the clan has not been avenged. It's not a good taste to make a living.

"Momo Li?!" Bai Taoli was looking down to think about things, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, so she turned around.

It was Wen Yan, who was dressed in blue, looking at her with a smile behind him.

"Old man Wen, why didn't you go to Manxiang Building?" Bai Taoli trotted over, these days, Wen Yan was almost invisible, "Where have you been these days, I can't see your ......"

Fortunately when I was in Zhiyi Pavilion, I almost didn't see Wen Yan much after coming to Luoling City, did I quarrel with my master, or was there something else?

Wen Yan smiled and said, "There are some things...... Let's go, let's go to the teahouse and sit down. After that, Wen Yan took Bai Taoli and the wood ghost to the teahouse opposite Manxiang Building.

........................................

The teahouse was empty, only the shopkeeper was sitting on a stool, and a few juniors were lying in front of the window and yawning lazily: "It's been half a day, and there is no ......."

"It's not, there are dead people in Manxianglou, and the matter hasn't come out yet, who dares to come out." The other Xiao Er said as he wiped the shiny table.

"I don't know who that old woman offended...... shopkeeper poured himself a cup of tea, "and came here to scold us a few days ago." ”

"Heaven is a good reincarnation, maybe she did something immoral......"

"Ah...... I'm so sleepy......"

The shopkeeper was yawning, and Wen Yan said loudly: "Little Er, prepare some tea casually." ”

As soon as I saw someone coming, a few people were a little more energetic, and they quickly got up and poured water, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Several people found a slightly offset position and sat down.

"Old man Wen, what's wrong with you?" Bai Taoli asked as soon as he sat down.

The wood ghost also looked at Wen Yan: "You have been very strange lately, it doesn't look like Wen Yan anymore." ”

Wen Yan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip of the teacup and put it down, looked at Bai Taoli and the wood ghost, shook his head and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"I can't say it, you weren't like this in Zhiyi Pavilion before...... Bai Taoli said, "Is there really something wrong with you?" ”

Wen Yan's eyes were uncertain, and he said later: "There is something ......"

"What?"

"I may have to separate from you when this is over." Wen Yan said, there was nothing strange in his tone, but he felt a little relaxed.

"Why?" Bai Taoli asked.

"There are some things you don't need to know." Wen Yan sighed softly.

"Say, maybe we can help you?"

"You guys? Hmph, two little kids who don't have the same hair, I don't understand what I told you. Wen Yan stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth.

After coming to Luoling City in the past few days, he suddenly remembered some fragmentary memories, and he didn't know if these memories were his...... The people inside looked like him, and there was a woman, and there were some other people...... Sometimes my head hurts when I think about it.

So he wanted to walk around by himself, by the way, to see if all his memories would be remembered, so that he could help Xun Liang find other broken spirits.

"Old man Wen, you're not interesting enough!" Bai Taoli was a little annoyed in her heart.

Although Wen Yan has lived for a long time, he basically spends most of his time in Zhiyi Pavilion, and he doesn't know a lot of other things, how can he say that she doesn't know what he said?

I didn't say anything, I just said I didn't know.

"Okay, I've already told Xun Liang all these things, if you want to know, you can ask Xun Liang, of course, he won't necessarily tell you," Wen Yan said with a smile, "You two, did you want to go to Manxiang Mansion secretly?" ”

Bai Taoli understood that Wen Yan wanted to tell them something important, it was clearly like he wanted to detain them and prevent them from going to Manxiang Building.

"No, it's just a casual stroll, it's not fun to walk around the City Lord's Mansion." White peach and plum heart is weak.

"Tao Li, don't make Xun Liang angry in the future, what he said, you listened to it, that snowy night, he was indeed not a good person." Wen Yan took a sip of tea, chewed a snack in his mouth and said.

Bai Taoli looked at Wen Yan: "You say the same ......"

"Tao Li, I also don't think that snowy night was a good person, he took you away like that despite our obstruction that day......" The wood ghost lay on the table and looked at Bai Tao Li.

"What am I supposed to tell you...... Snowy nights, others are actually quite good......" Bai Taoli said with her head down.

He won't be a bad guy.

"It's just the feeling for you now, if it takes a while, he will show his feet," Wen Yan said, "You little girl, I just think that this kind of man who looks white and clean, and looks okay is not a bad person...... It's no wonder that people are disguised......"

Bai Taoli nodded as if he didn't understand: "That'...... Have you and Master also disguised? ”

Wen Yan choked on a mouthful of water: "Ahem, cough, cough...... Tao Li, we are not the same as the snowy night. ”

"But you haven't been with him, how do you know that he must be a bad person?"

"Have you ever been with him, Taoli?"

"Nope." Bai Taoli shook his head, what level of getting along is really getting along?

If it's living together, then no, if it's confiding in each other, then there should be......

"Tao Li, you are still ...... young," Wen Yan looked at Bai Tao Li and said, "When your spiritual power reaches a certain level, you can sense whether the other party is an enemy or a friend through your spiritual power." As he spoke, he looked down at the wood ghost.

Wen Yan remembered that after rescuing the wood ghost that day, Bai Taoli said that he wanted to take the wood ghost with him, and he used his spiritual power to feel a very strange light on the wood ghost.

Red is an enemy, blue is a friend, but there are two kinds of light on the wood ghost, which is a combination of red and blue, so he can't tell whether the wood ghost is an enemy or a friend.

But after coming for so long, the wood ghost didn't do anything to hurt them, and he didn't think much about it.

Wen Yan felt that she shouldn't have told Bai Taoli this just now, besides, the wood ghost was also here, if someone used her one day, she told others what he said today, once the other party hid the light on his body, he would not be able to make a judgment.

Bai Taoli looked at Wen Yan: "So powerful?" How long have you lived, old man Wen? ”

Wen Yan shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

"Old man Wen, when are we leaving?" Bai Taoli asked, seeing that the day was going to get dark, and if she didn't go to Manxianglou, she wouldn't be able to go.

But now Wen Yan is looking at them here......

"Looking at the sky, Xun Liang and Su Qu should go back to the City Lord's Mansion now, and I'll leave too," Wen Yan got up and left, "You two play slowly." ”

"Thank you, Old Man Wen!" Bai Taoli said with a smile.

After watching Wen Yan walk away, Bai Taoli pulled up the wooden ghost who was about to fall asleep and also walked out of the teahouse.

The clouds on the horizon darkened, and there were still no people on the street, but the difference before following the teahouse was that some houses lit candles, adding a glimmer of light to the empty street.

The door of the Manxiang Building was closed, and there was no light from the top floor from the first floor to the third floor.

Bai Taoli gently pushed open the door of Manxiang Building.

"Squeak-" Bai Taoli's heart was about to jump to his throat: "Wood ghost, come quickly." ”

The wood ghost transformed into its original form and slipped through the crack in the door.

"It's so dark, wood ghost."

"Meow ......"

A candle lit up.

"Timber, did you find the candle?" Bai Taoli is not so scared.

"Meow...... It's not me, I've become the original form, how can I light a candle with my hands......" the wood ghost said.

"That'...... Who is that......" Bai Taoli was so frightened that she stammered.

The wood ghost jumped onto the shoulder of the white peach plum.

"It's me." A familiar voice rang out.
