It was already the time to hold the lamp, but the Yongguo Mansion was the same as usual, with only a few lights scattered and scattered.

"Fourth son, the old slave asked people to light up all the lights in each courtyard, you are back, it must be lively." Xiang Bo walked in front with a lantern, and the light stretched the shadows of the master and servant.

Shen Xiao's voice was faint: "No need, it's good like this, I want to walk around." ”

Xiang Bo didn't ask any more questions, and through a corridor full of pothos, Xiang Bo pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said, "That's the plum garden where the prince lives." ”

Meiyuan is the residence of the prince Shen Yuan, and it is also his cave house, where he died.

"Let's go in and have a look." Shen Xiao's voice was still faint, and he couldn't hear joy, anger and sorrow.

Xiang Bo walked a few steps faster, knocked on the gate of the plum garden, knocked for a while, and no one came to answer the door. Seeing Shen Xiao frowning slightly, Xiang Bo explained: "After the accident between the prince and the lady of the prince, all the people in this garden were taken to the edict prison, and after coming back, the old slave took matters into his own hands and sent them to the Zhuangzi in Changping. ”

The old lady is Shen Xiao's grandmother, who has been dead for many years.

Shen Xiao nodded and didn't ask again.

At this moment, with a squeak, the gate of the plum garden finally opened from the inside, and a gray-haired old servant poked his head out.

Uncle Xiang said loudly: "Old Yang, the fourth son is back!" ”

Lao Yang was stunned, looked at Shen Xiao, and then at Lao Yang, and asked in disbelief, "Fourth son?" Is it really the fourth son? ”

Xiang Bo said: "That's right, this is the fourth son, the fourth son is fine." ”

Lao Yang looked at Shen Xiao blankly, Shen Xiao patted him on the shoulder, raised his leg and stepped into the threshold.

As the name suggests, the plum garden is named after the plum tree. At this time, it is the height of summer, and you can't see the plum blossoms in the garden, but as far as the eye can see, the old plums are all some years old.

Shen Xiao walked around the plum garden and said to Xiangbo: "This garden is very good, I will live here tonight." ”

Uncle Xiang was taken aback, since the prince and the wife of the prince both died here, the plum garden has become a murderous house, even if the people in this garden were not sent away, no one wants to come here, and the few people who are responsible for cleaning and serving the flowers and trees are all bold.

"Fourth son, if the old slave asks someone to clean up tomorrow, you can live here again." Xiang Bo said.

"In the middle of summer, just let the spinach and them move a bamboo bed, I only stay for one night, and I don't have to move the crowd." Shen Xiao said.

Xiangbo's heart was sour, the fourth prince wanted to accompany the prince here.

"Okay, the old slave will go tell Miss Spinach."

As he spoke, Xiang Bo handed over the lantern in his hand, there was only one lamp at the door in the plum garden, and there was no lamp oil in each room.

Shen Xiao didn't reach out to pick it up, he shook his head and said, "No need, you can take it and take it." ”

Uncle Xiang couldn't refuse, so he had to walk out with the lantern, Shen Xiao looked at Lao Yang, who had been following them, and said, "Uncle Yang is also old, go to bed early." ”

Lao Yang didn't seem to hear it, he still looked at Shen Xiao blankly, and Uncle Xiang knew that he couldn't hear clearly at all, so he pushed him and said, "Let's go, don't make trouble for the fourth son." ”

Lao Yang muttered, "It's true, it's true." ”

When the two of them walked away, Xiang Bo said with a smile: "You old thing, your ears are not good, but your eyes are quite good." ”

Lao Yang was still muttering: "It's really like." ”

"Of course it's like it, nephew and uncle, how can it not be like it." Xiang Bo said.

Xiang Bo walked out of the plum garden and specially told Lao Yang not to close the door. After a while, I have to send the bamboo bed over, but Lao Yang's ear power is not good, so as not to knock on the door and not hear it.

The gate of the plum garden is hidden, leaving a crack in the door.

Xiang Bo carried the lantern and soon disappeared into the night.

In the darkness, a figure flashed out and quietly pushed the door in.

Shen Xiao sat on the beauty under the porch, and through the window, it was Shen Yuan's new house.

The inside of the house had been repainted, and there was no trace of blood anymore, but he had heard that Shen Yuan and his wife had almost lost the last drop of blood at that time, and the blood had flowed from the house to the outside.

Shen Xiao sniffed, after so long, he could still smell the smell of blood, this was his brother's blood, his brother was here, shedding the last drop of blood in his body.

He sat under the porch, his eyes looked away from the window little by little, he didn't need a lantern, Xiang Bo wouldn't know, he could see at night.

Suddenly, he heard a voice...... It was the sound of the wind, the sound of the wind that night walkers took away when they walked.
