It burned overnight and was not extinguished until dawn.

Fortunately, the courtyard of this back house is relatively independent, there are no buildings around, and it is adjacent to the water, so it does not cause any harm. As soon as the sky was bright, there were still flames coming out of the fire from time to time, but they disappeared again.

Black smoke rose and the air was filled with a scorching smell.

The courtyard of this backyard has been abandoned for so long that it has almost become a paradise for snakes, rats and poisonous insects. After a fire, the snakes and rats were burned clean, and the corpses of poisonous insects would be turned out from time to time in the scorched black, which also made Yang's heart tremble.

If Yang Shouwen doesn't put this fire, God knows when these poisonous insects will sneak to the front.

Everything else is fine, but a few children are in danger. January is often taken by Yang's side, which is somewhat safer. But Qingnu and Zheng Qian are still half-sized children, and when they are naughty, they are easily injured by poisonous insects.

"Son, I'm glad you cleaned up this place last night, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."

Looking at the corpses of the poisonous insects that Hei Da and they turned out of the fire, Yang also had palpitations.

And Yang Shouwen looked tired, and said softly: "In this way, presumably those cow ghosts, snake gods will also have some scruples." ”

He couldn't tell the reason, but he vaguely felt that there was something strange about this house.

Last night, Wukong suddenly barked, and Dayu Night chirped, all of which didn't seem normal.

Wukong and him have not been for a day or two, these four mastiffs have inherited the character of Bodhi back then, and they generally do not bark unless the existence of danger is determined. The so-called dog that bites people does not bark! Wukong's four temperaments are roughly like this.

As for Dayu, if it weren't for the discovery of the situation. It won't be easy to sleep at night.

So. There must be a situation.

Is it human?

Yang Shouwen ruled out this possibility first. Even if Goku's speed can't work. Dayu has always lived in the courtyard. If there were really people, Dayu would definitely attack at the first time, instead of hovering in the air and sending out a night call.

Is it a ghost?

Yang Shouwen shuddered and vetoed this possibility.

Not to mention whether there are ghosts or not, even if there are ghosts, it is impossible to leave no clues at all.

Clue!

Yang Shouwen arranged for Yang and the others to go back to the room to rest, and he and Jeddah were two. One person took three Kunlun slaves and slowly searched in the courtyard. Last night, a search was carried out and nothing was found. But Yang Shouwen felt that whether it was a person or a ghost, if something really appeared in this mansion last night, there would definitely be clues.

But the result ......

The sky is already bright and the morning sun is rising.

A red sun hung high in the sky, and the blue sky was cloudless.

The wind blowing from the water surface of the Cao Canal blew into the haunted house with a trace of water vapor. Brush on the body. It was lukewarm and felt very comfortable.

It's also the best season of the year. The weeping willows next to the pond are swaying, and the peaches and apricots in the garden are even more brilliant.

Early in the morning, Yang took Uyou and others, accompanied by Yang Jasmine and Jeddah, to North City to buy daily necessities. With such a large yard, there are a lot of things that need to be purchased, and Yang Jasmine even drove the carriage out.

Zheng Qian was studying upstairs, and Qingnu was playing chess upstairs.

With those four Persian maids in it, and six Kunlun slaves in the backyard to clean up under Tana's leadership, there could be no more accidents.

Besides, there are four dogs and a monkey in that building.

Yang Shouwen stood on the corridor of the pool, looking at the sparkling water in a daze.

Last night, whether it was Wukong or Dayu, they all chased to the side of the pool, and then suddenly lost their target. Could it be ......

He leaned on the railing and looked into the pool.

The water in the pool is clear, estimated to be two meters deep? There is a touch of blue, and there are a few lotus leaves floating on the water.

A few fish swim freely in the water, looking carefree. The water is so clear that there is nothing suspicious about it. Yang Shouwen suddenly remembered that Zheng Lingzhi had said that this pool seemed to be connected to the canal outside.

Could it be that someone has sneaked into the pool from the outside?

If that's the case, it can also explain why Dayu and Wukong didn't move when they got to the edge of the pool.

"Orb."

"The slave is here."

This jewel is with Nata, another woman who can speak Chinese.

Her real name is Ozhdun Tana, which means orb in Turkic. She was born in Broken Leaf and grew up on the shores of Atami (present-day Issyk-Kul Lake) before moving to the Central Plains with her family. I thought that I would return to my hometown after making enough money in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect to be attacked by horse thieves and my family was killed. Baozhu survived by luck, but how can a teenage girl live in a foreign country? There was no way, she had to sell herself as a slave and came to Luoyang.

"Which of you is better at water?"

Baozhu is now in his thirties, and he has long passed the cardamom years.

But it is precisely because of this that she can be regarded as experienced and quite stable.

Compared to Tana, the orb is as immobile as a mountain, while Nata is as aggressive as a fire. Completely different personalities, but they complement each other.

Baozhu thought for a moment, "Zabusu in the front yard is very water-based. ”

"Oh?"

"He is a native of Tibet, and according to him, he was born in Guazhou, and there is a river in his hometown called Shenshui. The Netherworld said that the water was very cold, and it was very deep, and the current was very fast. He claims to be able to swim a few times in the dark water, and the water quality should not be bad. ”

"Go and call him."

Guazhou?

It seems that Wang Anshi has a song "Night Park Guazhou", I don't know if it's a place.

Yang Shouwen is not very clear about the place names of this era. However, I vaguely remember that Wang Anshi's Guazhou seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Guazhou mentioned by Baozhu is in Tubo, that is, Qinghai, which should not be a place. Anyway, with the migration of the times, the place names have changed a lot. The Guazhou of the two dynasties is not the same, and it is not uncommon.

He immediately turned his attention to the pool, looking at the fish in the pool, and fell into deep thought.

Zabusu is not tall, that is, more than 160 centimeters.

She has a dark complexion and looks very lean.

He followed Baozhu and came to Yang Shouwen, first bowed to Yang Shouwen, and then said a long paragraph.

"Zabusu said, what did Aaron call him to command."

Yang Shouwen thought about it for a while, and took out a grain of gold from the leather bag on his body.

The gold was cut out of the bread of gold, and a grain weighed only half a tael. If you exchange it on the market, you can exchange it for about four dollars in Luoyang. Of course, there is a premise for this, and that is that you can prove that the gold is yours.

"Let him go into the water and help me see if there's anything unusual underwater."

Yang Shouwen said, handing the gold to the orb, "Well done, this gold is his." ”

Baozhu's face was calm, and he turned his head to translate to Zabusu.

After hearing this, Zabusu nodded again and again.

Without saying a word, he took off his clothes and jumped into the pool of water, making a splash.

"Ah Lang, you are ......"

"Nothing, I just want to know what's going on in this yard."

With that, he turned around and watched the movement in the pool.

Zabusu's water quality is indeed good, and after a fierce man went down, it took more than ten minutes before he emerged from underwater.

He muttered a few words, and then plunged into the water again.

"How?"

Baozhu smiled: "He said that he found a water gate over there and was about to swim out from the water gate to see the situation." ”

Got a water gate?

Yang Shouwen's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

He didn't ask anything, but continued to wait in the cloister...... After a few more minutes, Zabusu emerged from the pool and shouted loudly.

"He said the water gate was so small that he couldn't get through."

"How big?"

Baozhu immediately asked Zabusu a few words, and Zabusu swam to the bottom of the cloister, grabbed the edge of the cloister with both hands, and burst out of the water with a sigh. This guy just jumped into the water, naked. Now that he came out of the water, even if he was facing a woman in front of the jewel, he did not show the slightest shyness, and he looked very generous.

As for the orb, he turned a blind eye to his appearance.

Ha, that's so bold!

Yang Shouwen couldn't help muttering in his heart.

He said that the water gate was about two feet long and about a foot high, and in the middle there was an iron railing made of pig iron, the thickness of an arm.

He tried, and his head could get out, but his body couldn't. ”

Yang Shouwen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Nazabusu and said, "Good job, let him put on his clothes quickly." ”

Baozhu turned his head and said a few words to Zabusu. Zabusu nodded, picked the clothes off the ground, and held out his hand. (To be continued......)
