Chapter 41: The Prey Takes the Bait
At this moment, Night Feather held the painting again and looked at it under the lamp.
The candle flame suddenly crooked, and Night Feather only glanced at it lightly before studying the painting in his hand again. I thought in my heart that Jun Mubai finally replaced those who couldn't move to the stage and found a master, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and he couldn't even feel a trace of murder. Thinking that someone was not there for dinner, she suddenly had an answer.
"There are many thunderstorms this season, are you waiting for thunder to strike while standing on the roof?" Ye Yu folded the painting and put it in the bookcase, and then turned around and saw Lin Chen standing in front of her in a night suit, so he said, "Lin Chen's son is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, how to die, how to look and dress when you die, you have to think about it, otherwise it will become a joke." ”
Lin Chen poured himself a cup of tea when Ye Yu spoke, drank half a cup, and saw that she didn't open her mouth again to be sarcastic, and then said, "I don't know if the night girl is willing to appreciate her face and the moon in Xia Xu Mansion?" ”
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Yu, who had changed into a night outfit, appeared with Lin Chen in the back garden of the Xu Mansion. I saw that the winding path was quiet, the flowing water was peach blossoms, and the green was moist, a group of wealth and luxury. Ye Yu said in his heart that Xu Wei was not as greedy as Cui Yan, but this one place alone was worth Cui Yan's possession, and the high wall covered these tightly without leaking any wind, but he was really an old fox.
Lin Chen led Ye Yu around a rockery, passed through the gap that only allowed half of his body to squeeze through, and lifted the weeds covering the ground to reveal the door of the underground secret room. When Ye Yu went down from above, he was still wondering what kind of mentality Lin Chen had used to find this kind of corner in the first place.
She took the fire fold handed to her by Lin Chen, and as soon as she lit up the secret room, she saw nine coffins neatly placed in the middle. Such a surprise made Ye Yu's figure stunned and frightened.
"I was also scared when I first came." Lin Chen said and naturally held Ye Yu's hand and walked in front of her, "But there was still a ranking in front of me at that time, and it was the coffin of the ninth generation of the Shen family. It is rumored that a Taoist priest had already calculated the fall of the Shen family, and said that if he didn't want his ancestors and ancestors to be dug up by the enemy and whipped corpses, he came up with such an idea. ”
Night Feather only cared about checking the situation around her, and ignored the current state of the two of them. She saw what words were engraved on the coffin, but Lin Chen pulled her forward and didn't look closely. The two finally stopped at the dark passage at the corner of the stone wall on the east side, and could faintly hear the echo of water droplets.
"This secret passage is newly dug." Lin Chen walked to one of the coffins with Ye Yu again, handed the fire fold to Ye Yu, and pushed the stone cover open a palm-wide gap with both hands. As soon as Ye Yu saw this posture, he knew that there must be something strange inside, and he approached the fire fold and looked down, and instantly understood something.
This one should be placed with old arrows, and the mark of the state of Chu is engraved on it.
"Lin Chen, you can't really be a god stick, right?" Night Feather glanced at him with a smirk.
Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, and restored the coffin lid: "When I was eating in the city with you, I saw a car pulling the coffin, and when it was bumped, it made the sound of iron hitting it, and I became suspicious. You weren't so distracted, and I wasn't sure, so I didn't tell you. ”
Ye Yu nodded in approval, turned around and looked at the dark road, and after thinking about what Lin Chen said, he affirmed: "Lead to the coffin shop, the one in the west of the city." ”
Lin Chen hooked his lips: "Exactly." ”
All kinds of evidence in the past pointed to Xu Weishi, Ye Yu was still suspicious, and wondered if someone had framed him...... Ye Yu sneered, looked at Lin Chen, and suddenly said, "You are fortunate not to be a monkey, otherwise you will become a demon." ”
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "It's better to fly to become an immortal." ”
Ye Yu rolled his eyes: "If you are an immortal, all the demons and monsters in the world are immortals." ”
"Well, so you can become an immortal too."
The two of them were arguing endlessly in an inexplicable place, completely ignoring the gusts of wind and creepy, and in the room of Chu Jun in the post house over there, Wutong looked at his hand and felt incredible, and even Li Shentong was stunned.
"Look at what? My aunt and grandmother have been sacrificed like this, why don't you hurry up and feed him medicine and find death! ”
Li Shentong saw that Wutong's black face mode was about to start, and he didn't care how terrifying this matter was, so he directly helped Chu Jun to pour the medicine into his mouth, and muttered: "Little Chuzi, I'm a good person, I'm a good person......"
Just looking at Li Shentong's clumsy movements, he knew that he rarely did the work of serving people, and half of the medicine he fed at one time dripped onto Chu Jun's middle coat. Wutong glanced at him several times, and with his other hand, he took out a handkerchief and wiped away the wounds on the corners of Chu Jun's mouth and the medicine that flowed to his neck.
To be honest, since she had known Chu Jun, she had never seen him so seriously injured. Even Li Shentong said that if it weren't for Chu Jun's unique internal strength and body protection, coupled with Lin Chen's Resurrection Pill, I am afraid that he would be a waste person in the future.
"Feather ......"
Chu Jun called out vaguely, Wutong immediately froze, and said with a smile: "Who should I be?" I was thinking about the heartless one. ”
Since returning from Xufu, Ye Yu slept for two hours and felt sore, dizzy and swollen, got up and drank water, and felt more and more a chill surging in her body, and she didn't have to think about it to know that the underground dark room was too cold and damp to make her suffer some cold. Sleeping like this became more and more restless, and the whole person was half-asleep and half-awake, and he didn't know when it was dawn.
In the past, Ye Yu was about the same time as Lin Chen, but today breakfast was ready and there was no one to see. Wutong was used to seeing her leave the organization without permission, so she thought she was out to do something again. Li Shentong took care of Chu Jun's condition all night, and only went back to the house to make up for sleep when he saw that he had a high fever and no longer sweated at dawn, without knowing at all. Lin Chen always felt that something was wrong, so he went to the room to look for her, knocked on the door for a long time and no one responded, so he pushed the door in regardless of others.
Ye Yu's room was different from the others, the bedroom was blocked by a Western machine, and even Lin Chen didn't know where the switch was. His hand touched the edge, and he stumbled into the knob hidden in the relief, and when the door opened a crack, he saw Night Feather lying on the bed, one arm hanging from the edge of the bed, breathing weakly.
Lin Chen stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed and picked her up, and asked her to turn around and lean on him. As soon as I caught her pulse, I saw her wrist swing away his hand, turn sideways and drill into his arms, and her voice was muffled: "Don't move, you are cooler." I don't mind, you're awkward. ”
Lin Chen only felt helpless when he heard this, and reached out and patted her shoulder: "I'll show you first, and then you can sleep like this after taking the medicine." ”
At this time, Ye Yu had no patience to listen to his ramblings, so he struggled to sit up and took out a bottle of medicine from under the pillow and threw it to him, and plunged over again, no different from his posture just now. Lin Chen poured out a few medicine bowls from the bottle and put them under his nose to smell them, and was about to ask her anything, but she expected to be the first to say: "I have always been frail, the medicine was used to Li Shen's wildband in the past, I just took it, just sleep well." From now on, you shut up and don't move. ”
Ye Yu was impatient here, but Dao Wutong saw that Lin Chen had not returned for a long time, so he came up to look for it, and happened to bump into this scene. I wanted to take advantage of the danger of people to ridicule and make fun of it, but I thought that it was a pity to destroy this atmosphere, so I stopped and hid by the wall to peek a few times, then snickered and quietly left.
Lin Chen didn't notice Wutong, and just looked at the woman in his arms, for fear that her posture would twist uncomfortably. Ye Yu slept in a daze, not knowing if she was out of her strength and sliding down from half-sitting or someone moved her, anyway, she ended up lying on the pillow, the tip of her nose clinging to some good clothes, and the fragrance of plants and trees lingered in the air.
She thought it would be good.
I didn't wake up until the sun set, and when I opened my eyes, I no longer felt that the sky was spinning, and the night feather knew that it was half better. She subconsciously hugged the thing in her arms, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she lowered her eyes, she found that it was a person's arm, and she immediately woke up.
Lin Chen always looked down at her silently as soon as she opened her eyes, seeing that her eyes were clear and smart, he finally let go, but before he could open his mouth, Ye Yu raised his arms with both hands and threw them out, and then turned over like a nobody.
Lin Chen hissed, rubbed his left arm, which had long been unconscious, with his other hand, and moved his shoulder a few more times, hearing the sound of his joints. He had known for a long time that this woman was a hard-hearted master, and it was not surprising that she was treated like this.
"Your subordinate has been waiting at the door for a few hours, don't pretend to be asleep yet, tell him to come in and ask what is going on."
As soon as Ye Yu heard this, he was about to get up, Lin Chen reached out to help, but she dodged sideways and sat up, squinting at him: "The clothes I made for you are all Yunjin, and the left and right are my own belongings, and you will wear coarse cloth and rotten clothes after carefully crumpling them!" ”
He had been following her for a while, and Lin Chen had long been accustomed to her various methods of reversing the attack mode, so he cleared his throat and leaned forward to pretend to be a frivolous boy and smiled at her: "There is a saying that brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes." I really have to take good care of the clothes made of Yunjin. ”
Ye Yu sneered: "Then do you know what a toad wants to eat swan meat?" ”
This sentence not only did not choke Lin Chen, but made the corners of his mouth grin wider: "You don't have to remind me, if it weren't for your swan being sick, I wouldn't let you go." After saying that, he got up directly, straightened his clothes and walked out with his head held high. has been together for a long time, and naturally knows that every time she suddenly changes, she must have a purpose, doesn't she just want him to avoid it, why bother so much. When he opened the door, he bowed his head to the man who was guarding outside, and the man immediately went in and replied.
Ye Yu was still sitting on the bed, recalling that she had just been like Lin Chen, she felt that she was blind before.
What a righteous gentleman, but a good show!
Thinking about it like this, I was a little uncomfortable, and when I saw someone coming in, my tone was slightly unkind: "What's wrong?" ”
The man was also very good at observing words and feelings, and said with bated breath: "The inspector who arrived in Nanping a few days ago made Wang Si enter the Xu Mansion in disguise at noon today, and stayed in the Xu Wei Courtyard for a quarter of an hour before leaving. Because the place was heavily guarded, his subordinates couldn't get close, and I don't know the details. ”
"Wangs? Is it Wang Li's cousin? After getting the confirmation, Ye Yu leaned against the bedpost and pondered for a moment before asking, "But he is engaged to the daughter of the military department?" ”
"Exactly."
Night Feather smiled meaninglessly and waved his hand: "Stand down." ”
Wutong had been waiting outside the door for a while, and when he saw that the person who had calmly gone in and replied before stepped out of the threshold, he let out a sigh of relief and immediately laughed without giving face, all the way to Ye Yu.
She saw that Yun Yeyu was changing clothes behind the screen, so she sat down in front of the dressing table and fiddled with the jewelry on it, and quipped: "Look at how scared you are for other people's young men!" People like you just change their faces quickly, one moment they are as tender as water, and the next moment they are cold to the king of Hades, but Lin Chen is also a thick-skinned person who is not afraid of death, otherwise how can he stand you? As he spoke, he picked a hairpin and put it in his bun, and looked left and right in the mirror.
Ye Yu walked out from behind the screen, looked at her indifferently and said, "The hairpin has been quenched for seven steps, but be careful not to puncture the skin." ”
Before the words fell, Wutong immediately pulled out the hairpin and threw it on the dressing table, and when he turned around and wanted to pounce on Ye Yu's neck, he saw that she didn't even have a bloody lip, so he pouted: "I heard about last night's incident, but your body is too weak." ”
"Anyway, I'm content, if I hadn't practiced martial arts since I was a child, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have bones now." Ye Yu paused, "Don't talk about this, what did Cui Yan do?" ”
"I wanted to spare that thing's life, but I might as well be killed." Speaking of Cui Yan Wutong, he remembered something, took out an iron token and put it in front of Ye Yu: "That's it, I found it in his bedroom." ”
