"Dao Chief, please come in." The little maid led the man in white to the West Wing guest room through twists and turns.

"Little brother, if you have something, just call the poor outside."

"Okay, Chief, you rest."

After the little guy left, the man in white immediately began to breathe cross-legged, and he heard that there might be clues here, and he had been running all the way for many days without closing his eyes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bai Dao Chief, my lord, please go to the dust washing banquet." Two hours later, the servant knocked softly on the door.

"Here it is."

The red candles are flickering, and the lights are brilliant. At night, more lights were lit in the house, and people changed into brightly colored clothes, and the haze seemed to have diluted a little.

There is a special banquet hall in Hufu, which is made of fine mahogany, and in the middle is a long table with cutlery neatly arranged on it.

Mrs. Hu did not attend, and there were two empty seats under Mr. Hu, and the eldest lady and the second lady sat on the left. On the right sat the eldest young master, the second young master.

"Daoist, please take a seat." Master Hu sat in the middle and greeted.

Seeing the man in white coming in, the two young masters moved a seat, reflecting the importance they attached to the man in white, but why did they always have two chairs vacated?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the man in white returned to the West Wing, it was already night.

After the dust washing feast, he also took a pretext to visit the mansion to observe, and then carefully browsed the room.

Hu Mansion is really a big family, and even the guest rooms are so luxurious. Mahogany doors and windows, crystal curtains, ivory long tables, fragrant wood bookcases, sandalwood carved beds, blue and white porcelain vases, jade pixiu, agate cranes, gilded lions...... However, these out-of-the-box furniture items are strangely combined together, and they are quite harmonious, and they are probably all luxury goods sent by different guests, so they are placed here without a place.

"I can't imagine that I, Bai someone, will have the opportunity to live in such a luxurious place!"

Removing the veil, there was a dignified and personable man in white, who was not an old Taoist, but a famous and beautiful Bai Qiuchi in the rivers and lakes - Bai Daxia is also.

A few years ago, for some reason, Bai Daxia retired from the rivers and lakes, and he was nowhere to be found, and some people even said that he was dead. But now he appears in the richest non-official family in Mirror Lake City, the Hu family. The Hu family has been in business for generations, and their business is prosperous, and they can be regarded as one of the world's famous businessmen. The Hu family's family prospered to Mrs. Hu's generation, and due to the war, the family had to move to the old house in Jinghu City, but after the old house was renovated, there were many strange things in the family. Mrs. Hu's husband, Hu Jintong, died violently, and the cause of death is unknown. Then the eldest son and the second son of the family all died mysteriously, but the boy who was running around all the year round was spared and became the only heir of today, Hu Jianghai, the old man. He married three wives successively, the eldest lady gave birth to the eldest son Hu Yanshi and the second son Hu Yanbin, the second lady gave birth to a pair of twin daughters Hu Nianci and Hu Nian'an, and the third lady gave birth to a frail and sickly boy Hu Yanping. Master Hu stopped repairing the old house, but revived the family business, and nothing strange happened for many years, until the appearance of this bloody and tearful baby.

Bai Qiuchi sat at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and thought about what he had seen and heard today.

First of all, the layout of this mansion is very strange.

At that time, people pursued to create infinite scenery with limited space. In order to enrich the landscape level, some use the obstacle landscape method, which has reached the artistic conception of "the mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village"; Some use the scenery separation method to separate the garden landscape into different scenic spots. Generally, the garden is arranged in front of the house to enrich the landscape level, and most of them are rockery barriers, but Hufu is a huge lotus pond, and there are no rockeries and plants around it.

This huge pool, the big one can be called a lake, the water is turquoise, the blue is very pure, but it is not clear, the more blue it is, the more it shows the depth of the lake. It has entered autumn, but the lotus flowers in the pond are undefeated, and they are still like freshly bloomed.

The rooms are built around the pool, but there is a certain distance from the pool, and it extends indefinitely, and there are rockeries and trees behind it, which grow luxuriantly, but you can't say their names. Even the well-informed Bai Daxia feels lonely and unheard.

The room layout seems to be the opposite of a normal home, as if it is projected by a mirror.

Besides, the people in the house are very strange, they are very calm, and they are terrifyingly calm.

Mrs. Hu is the highest status in the family, and everyone has to act according to her face. She looks like she eats fasting and recites Buddha and does not attend the banquet, but her carelessness in playing with Buddha beads and her indifference to her own great-granddaughter seem to be extremely contradictory, not to mention that she has no objection to the so-called Taoist elder at home to "exorcise demons". Master Hu and the eldest lady don't seem to have much of a problem at present, except that they are too calm, but the eldest young master, as the father of the child, reacts too coldly, and the strange atmosphere between him and his wife is also suspicious. The maid named "Cui'er" before deliberately said terrible words, as if she wanted to see how scared he looked. The other subordinates were pretending to be panicked, their bodies were too stiff, and they could still hold the lights and close the windows in such an orderly manner after the lights went out. In the entire Hu Mansion, except for the young lady Lan Coning, who had a normal reaction, the others were numb and stiff about this bloody and tearful baby, and occasionally they could hear the sound of frolicking from behind the rockery and the sound of talking and laughing from the room.

At the banquet, everyone was not like ordinary big families, the conversation between them was boring, and there was an indescribable feeling between the questions and answers, could it be that there were more outsiders like him? There was no much discussion about the child's affairs during the banquet, and Master Hu only asked him to investigate well before leaving the table, the two ladies talked to themselves, the eldest young master had been drinking and did not speak, and the second young master was even more silent, and he didn't even move his chopsticks a few times. Lan Se Ning did not attend with her, obviously afraid that she would lose control of her emotions again. Others who have not yet met are also not well judged.

For a while, Bai Qiuchi, who had always been shrewd and witty, couldn't figure it out, so he had to rest early and wait and see what happened.

How do we approach the truth?

Is this baby girl with red tears the person he is looking for?

The rain did not stop, and the calm night was not as calm as it seemed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a dream.

Red, rambling red......

It's strange that in the dream, she was as red as fire, burning enthusiastically.

She smiled lightly, with pale red tears in the corners of her eyes, red like lotus, trembling beautifully.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although there were many people in the Hu Mansion, Bai Qiuchi was not asleep, and he was awakened by a small sound outside the window.

What is it?

The snow-colored veil covered his handsome face, and Bai Qiuchi silently pushed open the door and chased after him with light skills. I saw a small blue fluorescent firework rise into the air and spin three times, falling straight into the lotus pond, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, without splashing a drop of water.

There is something strange in this pool.
