In fact, it is really not that easy to enter the gate of Ye Mansion.

As soon as they reached the door, a group of doormen surrounded them, asking questions as if checking their household registration, making them overwhelmed.

"See that over there?" One of the guards with a knife pointed to the side of the guide. Today's weather is good, and you can see the tall and luxurious architectural silhouette of the south.

"That house is gone. The tree is very windy, and we can't help it. Another person explained.

Shanhai seemed to be expecting this ending, and shook his head helplessly, ready to give up this path. But if they were lucky, when a few people just turned around, a four-carried sedan car stopped at the door. The curtain opened, revealing the face of a woman. She has just the right amount of light makeup on her face, and her skin is well maintained, so she can't tell her specific age.

"Yo, these are ......"

Shi Wuqi reacted quickly, and immediately judged that this person must have a good identity, and hurriedly went up to salute.

"Ah, a few of us, I want to visit the Ye Mansion master. We are friends of the two sons and daughters of the house who met in the rivers and lakes, saying that there is any difficulty, and although their names are mentioned in Cangyu City. ”

The woman's face changed slightly, and she asked with some eagerness which of the two children they were.

"Gongzi Ye Linxi, Qianjin Ye Zixu."

The woman's surprised eyes were not hidden, and the people carrying the sedan chair on the side also looked at each other a few times. They watched the woman carefully, she stabilized her emotions, and someone helped her out of the sedan chair. She took a deep breath and asked them seriously:

"Is that true?"

Before they could reply, another gatekeeper interjected:

"You have to be careful, maybe the gangsters stole the names of the two and want to infiltrate the Ye Mansion!"

The woman waved her hand, saying she knew what she knew. She re-examined the few people in front of her and asked:

"Do you know who I am?"

"Hmm, you'......"

"The head of the house is not in the house, now, I have the final say."

"Disrespectful, you are the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Ye family......"

Shi Wuqi and Shanhai followed closely and saluted again, and the other three girls did the same. Ye Mu nodded slightly and said to them:

"Don't blame me for being ruthless, the head of the house is not there, if I let you into the house, I can't bear the responsibility for the slightest mistake."

"We've heard," Shan Hai raised his head, "the Takifu in the south of Cangyu City seems to have encountered an accident?" ”

"Well, you disgraced people must have suffered a lot outside. You're right, but now the whole city is in a state of panic. We are indeed afraid. When the head of the family heard about this, he wrote to me and told me to be careful. You say you know my son and my daughter...... So how are they? ”

Shi Wuqi's mind immediately appeared with two faces sleeping very peacefully.

“…… It's good, it's good. ”

Wu Qi and Ah Luan sang and harmonized, picking and choosing, and told them about Qinglize. After removing the parts that worry the elderly, there is not much left. Although I don't know whether it's true or not, Ye Mu listened to it seriously. The old man was very relieved to learn that his daughter could still fill herself with soup and water.

Mu Wan pinched a cold sweat on the side.

But in the end, Ye Mu still has concerns about them. However, she did believe the words of a few people, and knew that they were people from the rivers and lakes, so she dragged someone to get them a silver ticket. It's not a big number, but it's enough to solve the urgent need.

Ye Mu also told them that the water in Cangyu City was all lukewarm, especially in the south, and the water was hotter. Among the mountains over there, there is a volcano that has been dormant for a hundred years, and there may be no more movement. There is an inn in the southeast of the city, which is famous for its many large hot spring pools, which attract many travelers from other places. It's just that since the Taki family case, because it is too close, the business is not so easy, and the price has dropped again and again. If they're going to rent a shop, don't go to the South Side. There are a few shops near Yefu, all of which are good, and she can write a letter to let them take care of them.

"Thank you very much" Shan Hai bowed, "We will pay more attention." ”

"And that shop ......," Ye Mu muttered, "I heard that it was haunted, and no one went there." ”

Okay, let's go there.

Some people have a good heart to eliminate violence and peace, some people just join in the fun, some people not only join in the fun, some people don't care what they do at all, and one is not even a person, let alone an idea.

The five of them rode horses and ran to the hot spring hotel in the southeast of Cangluo City.

It is always good to say that it is good to eliminate violence and peace, it is purely to join in the fun, at least a few people in the rivers and lakes still take care of other people's affairs, which is always good.

When I arrived at the place, as Ye Mu said, it was empty--it was better to say that there were no people along the way, and there were all patrols, yamen and imperial court teams back and forth. They were caught two or three times, interrogated repeatedly, back and forth on those few questions. Perhaps none of them looked like they had any motives or dangerous goods, so they let them go. It's just that the farther south they go, the more visibly they feel that the atmosphere has become more tense.

In the whole huge store, the boss was lying alone in front of the counter, with a virtue like long grass. As soon as he heard someone enter the door, he first rubbed his eyes and scratched his thinning hair, as if he suspected that he had not woken up. When he looked at it and confirmed that several people were here to complain, he was surprised and delighted, and sobered up a lot.

"I heard you're haunted here?" Mu Wan got straight to the point.

"What? No, absolutely nothing. "The shopkeeper's righteousness is strict.

Shi Wuqi rolled his eyes in the back - what inn would admit that its territory was haunted. But looking at this reaction, eighty percent of them can't run.

Shanhai also felt that her question was a little rash, and hurriedly stopped her. As usual, they asked for two rooms. The shopkeeper kindly introduced them to how unique the scenery here is, and the mountains are outside the window; He also said how nurturing the water quality here was, and he didn't say a word about the vendetta and rumors of hauntings in Takifu.

It's not hard to understand. After all, which hope of doing business flies to the duck in the mouth.

The shopkeeper led them to three horses, and finally introduced the whole empty backyard, saying that this is the best place to enjoy the coolness. Shi Wuqi suddenly remembered something and asked him if he wanted to buy a horse. The shopkeeper patted the horse's back and admitted that these are all good breeds, but unfortunately there is no income recently, and there is no spare money, otherwise he really wants to keep one. When he spoke, he sighed between the lines, and seemed to be genuinely interested in good horses.

Ah Luan looked at him, then at the horse, and asked, "Why is business bad lately?" ”

"Because, uh......" the shopkeeper rolled his eyes and scratched his hair again, "yes, you, uh, you're outsiders, and you don't know what happened here......"

"Homicide case" Mu Wan finished speaking for him, "Notices have been posted on the streets and alleys. ”

"Yes, yes, homigre," the shopkeeper bolted his horse and quietly pointed to the side of the guide, "See, the highest room...... It's the one who died. Because they were afraid that the murderer was still nearby, and we were in a very good location, so scared that no one dared to come. ”

"That's what I said," Shi Wuqi shrugged his shoulders, "With such a big battle, the murderer would have already gone away." ”

The shopkeeper sighed.

"I hope he goes, but I'm afraid he'll get away with it; I hope he is still in the city, but I am afraid that he will harm the next family. A few guest officers, to tell you the truth, I am the only one who looks at such a big store - it's not to blame other people, they are all scared away. ”

Shanhai, who had been silent, suddenly turned around and asked him, "Scare away?" How scary is the matter of the Taki family? ”

"Well, it's not all Takifu...... Ah, uh, even though the government has banned all the news, some people still say that it was a terrible scene. ”

Dai Luan was energetic: "How scary?" ”

"Oh, the little girl's family is still interested in this kind of thing," the shopkeeper crossed his waist, "and a lot of people have died." Lord, lady, several young masters...... There were also a few family members who stopped the murderer and several concubines who protected the master, all of whom were killed. The only ones who survived were the subordinates who were far away at the time, and there were some timid maids who hid. Oh, the baby in swaddling clothes was spared, maybe he didn't notice it...... They died miserably, as if they had been pierced by some sharp weapon, with thousands of holes, their hearts, necks, and fatal places were all holes, and blood was flowing out of the ground, which was terrifying...... And not a single murder weapon was found at the scene. ”

Shi Wuqi thought for a while, and then returned to the shopkeeper and said, "This technique is really cruel. It's just that...... Are there so many holes in each corpse? It's a special technique, and it's ...... It's hard to do. ”

"Who knows. Maybe it will change when it is passed on to ten, hundred, and then it will change its taste. Hey, guys, don't let me finish...... As a result, I was scared and said I wanted to check out. Uh, you're not checking out, are you? ”

"Don't worry, it won't."

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. He explained something else to them, and even told them where the kitchen was, and that they could do whatever they wanted. No way, there is really no cook. If you want the shopkeeper to cook in person, it's fine, but it may not taste good.

It's easy to blow away the shopkeeper who talks endlessly, and several people immediately gather around to discuss.

"I look at the shopkeeper, there must be a ghost in my heart" Mu Wan was so sure, "Have you ever felt any demonic energy?" Is it really a ghost, or is it a monster? ”

Shanhai shook his head: "It's hard to say. It's an open terrain, there are no people, and it's close to the mountains, so it's normal if it's a little cold. But it's hot here, and you see the pool—it's steaming indeed. In terms of temperature, it is not easy to judge whether there is yin or not. As for the traces of the demon, no trace has been found for the time being. ”

"I see that there is a problem," Shi Wuqi looked around, "Although I haven't seen anything famous at the moment, the shopkeeper must have hidden something, and even fools can see it." However, we are not in a hurry anyway...... It's not expensive here, so let's live in it first, and I have to wait for half a month to see if the garrison is relaxed. I guess that at this time, the correspondence and caravans will also be strictly scrutinized, and it will be delayed for a while. ”

Having said that, people are really anxious when they hear it. But think about it again, the ten thousand ghosts who have no whereabouts were sent away lightly by Gao Yuejun's sentence of walking eastward. If she's true — though they may not believe her quite anymore — there's no telling how long it will take.
