Suddenly, a cool breeze blew the branches of the pomegranate tree much more.

Feng Cheng and Lu Xuan cautiously approached the firewood room to find out.

There was no window in the firewood room, and the two dilapidated doors were hidden, and through the crack in the door, Ouyang could be seen kneeling down somewhere and kowtowing.

Feng Cheng and Lu Xuan glanced at each other and continued to look inside.

As seen in front of the pomegranate tree, Ouyang kowtowed and read silently for a while, and then began to burn paper money again.

There was a lot of firewood piled up in the firewood room, and Ouyang's movements were very careful.

The smell of burning paper money gradually wafted out the door.

When the clouds are surging like this, in the dead of night, the nose is filled with this smell, which is inevitably chilling.

Looking at the woman who burned paper money with a pale face, Feng Cheng thought silently: If she appeared at this time, she would be able to scare people to death without wearing a mask.

Ouyang Shi cleaned up the burned ashes and stood up, carrying the basket and walking out with light steps.

Feng Cheng and Lu Xuan immediately hid, watched Ouyang Clan walk out of the firewood room to cover the door, and went to the kitchen again.

Feng Cheng wanted to follow, but was pulled by Lu Xuan.

She looked sideways at him.

Lu Xuan shook his head lightly and motioned for her not to move.

It didn't take long for Ouyang to come out of the kitchen, much faster than he had stayed in front of the pomegranate tree and in the firewood room.

Feng Cheng did not hesitate to cast a "Fortunately for your reminder" look to the young man next to him.

Lu Xuan raised the corners of his lips reservedly.

Ouyang looked left and right, raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and slipped into the main room lightly.

Feng Cheng and Lu Xuan approached the window of the east room and listened for a while, but there was no sound except for the snoring that had never stopped.

Lu Xuan pulled Lafeng Cheng and pointed to the courtyard door.

Feng Cheng nodded.

Staying any longer is obviously not going to be rewarded.

The two of them climbed out of the courtyard wall and walked down the deserted street.

Feng Cheng whispered in the night breeze: "Ouyang Qing's wife's behavior is so strange tonight, why did she go to the firewood room to burn the paper money under the pomegranate tree?" ”

Later, when I entered the kitchen, it was not difficult to guess that I must have disposed of the ashes left by burning paper money.

Lu Xuan thought for a while and said, "The biggest possibility is that there were corpses buried in those two places." ”

"All buried?"

"For example, it was originally buried in one place, but later it was moved to another place for fear of being discovered. The woman burned paper in both places for peace of mind. ”

"If so, we need to determine where we are buried."

"There's no need." Lu Xuan's tone was relaxed, "Whether it is buried under the pomegranate tree or in the firewood house, it will be natural to know when the time comes." ”

Feng Cheng patted his forehead: "I got the tip of the horns." ”

Lu Xuan is right, there is no need to make a choice, just dig it all up.

As for the possibility that the bones of the corpses could not be dug up in either place, Feng Cheng thought that it was almost none.

The Ouyang family has never moved, but has only expanded the house, and the bones of the pair of masters and servants are undoubtedly in this house.

"The victim's message still needs to be more understood. From tomorrow onwards, I will arrange for someone to come and watch every night, so you can stay at home with peace of mind. ”

Feng Cheng hesitated, but swallowed the words that the victims were two people.

If the people arranged by Lu Xuan did not gain anything, it would not be too late for her to find a suitable excuse to mention it.

"Lu Xuan, let's separate at the intersection." Feng Cheng pointed ahead.

Lu Xuan glanced at her lightly: "I'll send you back to Shangshu Mansion first." ”

"Thank you very much." Feng Cheng did not refuse.

Before the two of them reached the intersection, a gust of wind blew, and raindrops the size of beans fell.

The rain fell rapidly, which caught Feng Cheng off guard.

Lu Xuan's reaction was much faster.

He grabbed Feng Cheng's wrist and led her to the eaves of a shop on the street.

The rain was pouring down, and rain curtains were soon hung under the eaves.

Feng Cheng looked at the boundless rain curtain and muttered, "Will it thunder?" ”

Lu Xuan moved his eyebrows slightly.

Feng Cheng seems to be paying special attention to "thunder".

Inexplicably remembered that night when the thunder and rain suddenly fell, she Yin Yin told him to beware of the scene of being struck by lightning.

Lu Xuan looked at the girl beside her and came to a conclusion: she was afraid of thunder.

It seems normal for girls to be afraid of thunder.

Lu Xuan decided to comfort the other party: "There will be no thunder, it is rare to thunder at this season-"

Before he finished speaking, a thunderclap exploded, and even the earth seemed to shake.

Lu Xuan pulled the corners of his lips in embarrassment.

Feng Cheng took a step back with a white face, his back pressed against the cold wall.

A hand reached out and took her hand.

The boy's hand bones are distinct, and the girl's hand is slender and soft.

In the middle of this rainy night, two hands suddenly shook hands and made them both stunned at the same time.

Lu Xuan quickly let go of his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Don't be afraid, it's just thunder." ”

The night was thick, quietly covering the tips of the young man's reddened ears.

Feng Cheng pressed his palms together and smiled: "I'm not afraid." ”

It's not so much fear as awe.

Even the emperor can be killed by thunder.

In short, she doesn't like thunder.

"I'm not afraid, your face is still so white?"

Feng Cheng raised his hand and touched his cheek, wondering: "Hasn't my face always been white?" ”

She had also been distressed before, and felt that a big white face was too rouge, until she realized that she could pretend to be sick at any time, and decided to go with it.

Rouge is not just used for use, the faster you use it, you can buy more and better looking new rouge.

Lu Xuan thought about it and was silent.

It's good not to be afraid, he's not a person who likes to worry.

The young man folded his hands and looked at the boundless rain curtain in distraction.

When he was a child, he went out with his second brother to play, and he also encountered such a rain.

Boundless, as if you can't wait.

Later, they couldn't help but run home in the rain, and the second brother fell ill that night.

His mother was so angry that she hit him with a branch in a vase.

The flower branches are obviously very thin, but the whipping on the body is like a pain in the heart.

The servants who had not taken good care of them because they were playful were never seen again, and it is said that they were punished and sent to Zhuangzi.

He doesn't like rain, especially heavy rain.

It reminds him of his sick second brother and the flower branch that whipped him.

"Lu Xuan." In the sound of the rain, the girl's voice was clear to the ears.

Lu Xuan looked at her sideways.

Feng Cheng is still dressed as a man tonight, but there is no disguise on his face.

The cheeks were wet from the raindrops that flew diagonally into the eaves, and so were the eyes that were as clear as water.

Lu Xuan was suddenly curious about what she was going to say.

Maybe...... She wants to pour out her thoughts?

For example, why is it more customary to call him by his name?

Lu Xuan silently decided that no matter what Feng Cheng said, he would not laugh at her.

And when he thought so, he unconsciously gave birth to a little expectation.

"Do you like cats a lot?"

"Like what?" Lu Xuan thought he had heard it wrong.

"Flower cat." Feng Cheng curled the corners of his lips, and felt happy when he thought of Laifu.

When it was Laifu, she was very glad to meet a boy who loved cats.

Lu Xuan was silent for a moment, and confirmed again: "You said that a flower cat like Laifu who is fat, greedy, and likes to pounce on people?" ”
