"Who? Who's coming out? Mu Xiaowu pulled out his hand vigorously, and looked at the old woman in front of him while rubbing his wrist: her eyes were cloudy, her hair was all white, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be carved out with a knife, it was said that she should be about the same age as Yan Bailin, but it seemed that she was more than ten years older than the well-maintained Yan family elder.

"Who are you talking about?" Mu Xiaowu asked again.

The old woman leaned over, an old walnut-like face almost touched Mu Xiaowu's face, and said in a trembling voice, "That red cloth, he still covers it, but the face under the cloth has changed." Dark, crumpled. And eyes......" she shuddered, as if she had seen the monster she had described, "the eyes were like coals of fire, and the black was red, and I didn't dare to look at them, but if I looked at them more, it seemed that I would be sucked in by those eyes......"

"Red eyes." Mu Xiaowu showed a rare serious expression on her face, she frowned, thought for a long time, and finally spoke again, "Do you know him?" ”

This sentence seemed to prick Mrs. Yan, her body shook heavily, and then she waved her hand at Mu Xiaowu heavily, shaking her head and saying, "I don't know him, these things have nothing to do with me, I don't know anything, don't let him come to me......"

"I know it's none of your business, but I always have to know who he is to help you, right?" Mu Xiaowu lowered her voice and patted her on the back of her dry hand as if comfortingly.

He ...... It was a long time ago, at that time, Qingcheng was not as big as Jiayan, Jiayan ......" she took a light breath and asked if the donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, "Jiayan...... Jiayan ...... Are you okay? ”

"He's fine, he woke up last night." Mu Xiaowu was a little impatient, "Old Madam Yan, let's go back to yesterday's incident, who is that "he" you keep talking about?" ”

As soon as this sentence was asked, a soft call suddenly came from behind him, "Old lady, it turns out that you are here." Immediately after, Cui Yun walked over like a gust of wind, followed by four or five little girls, and when she saw Mrs. Yan, she hurriedly looked around her back and forth, for fear that she would hurt somewhere.

"Miss Mu, I'm really sorry to disturb you." Cui Yun apologized with a smile, and ordered someone to take Mrs. Yan back to the room, "My old lady has not been very good all these years, and her spirit has been good and bad, so I didn't scare you." ”

She has a kind smile and good manners, and she looks like a big lady in charge. However, what Mu Xiaowu noticed was her clothes, she was wearing a brocade and vermilion dress, with white satin trim on her sleeves, and pale pink embroidered shoes, which were very luxurious. Her appearance is also very outstanding, tall, with slender bones, a small jade-like face, a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes, the corners of her eyes are slightly hanging, and she laughs and seduces her soul.

Of course, she is also beautiful, but she is two completely different beauties from the young lady. One is as beautiful as a lily, and the other is as gorgeous as a peony.

Mu Xiaowu cleared his throat, "The old lady said she saw something strange last night. ”

Cui Yun's smile deepened, and she also took Mu Xiaowu's hand affectionately, "Her old man has to make trouble like this from time to time, you will understand after living for a long time, if her words are taken seriously, there will be no need to do anything else every day, and these things alone will not be able to deal with it." According to me, the old lady probably had a nightmare last night. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Mu Xiaowu's face was a little soothed, Cui Yun looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "I always say that they don't do things carefully, and sure enough, although the girl's clothes are good, there is some jewelry missing on her head to match, you come with me, let me help you dress up again." ”

***

Cui Yun matched Mu Xiaowu with a jade flute, carved and decorated, and four round turquoise stones were inlaid on the left and right earlobes, which matched her skirt very well.

However, after hearing that this jade flute was an antique and worth a thousand gold, Mu Xiaowu temporarily put away his flying personality, and walked steadily, for fear of falling that thing.

What's more, now, she and Mu Cripple are sitting at the main table of Yan Bailin's sixtieth birthday, facing a circle of high-ranking officials and nobles, so they dare not be presumptuous. With a smile on her face, she stared at the exquisite dishes in front of her, and tried her best to suppress her hands and hearts that wanted to feast on them.

Yan Qingcheng thoughtfully ordered someone to put a few dishes in front of the two of them, Mu Xiaowu smiled at him gratefully, and then sent a completely different smile to Yan Yuchi, who glanced at him.

Mu Cripple didn't eat much today, and now his attention was completely attracted by the good bottle of wine. Mu Xiaowu only vaguely heard Yan Bailin introduce the name of this wine is called Autumn Dew, which is made by putting a pot or other utensils at the bottom of the grass when it is cold in autumn, collecting the dew that drips after the leaves are upside down, and then mixing this dew with more than ten kinds of herbs such as agarwood, wood incense, cloves, herbs, sandalwood, osmanthus, white lotus, licorice, etc. Its taste is clear and pure, and its color is clear, but because it costs a lot of money and manpower, and more importantly, it is a gift from heaven, so it is extremely precious. It is not easy for ordinary dignitaries to get a small pot, even if they are a high-ranking family like the Yan family, they only get five bottles.

Mu Cripple's alcohol consumption was not good, and he was also an old person, so he was a little drunk after only eating a few cups, and he actually talked about the previous conjuring of spirits in front of a group of people.

"Fishermen...... The fishermen are the most numerous, they are buried in the sea, and their bodies cannot be recovered, I ...... The scarecrow was used to replace the corpse, put on the clothes of the deceased, and then call back the ghost lost in the sea, and introduce it into the scarecrow for burial. ”

"There are also some souls who have died in other places and can't find their way back, so I will also cast spells, in order to return to the roots and souls to their hometowns. By the way, there are still many people who died in vain, they died unjustly, and they don't want to enter reincarnation, so they can only use copper needles to force their excess. ”

Mu Xiaowu suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless, like chewing wax. What to say about death in vain on other people's birthdays, what to say about reincarnation, is also something that only Mu Cripple can do. Mu Xiaowu saw that the people at the table were looking at the two of them with strange eyes, and her face was a little unbearable, but she also knew that once this Mu lame drunken chatterbox was opened, others would not be able to accept it, not even her.

Impatient, she had to take a painful look at the table full of treasures, stood up and said with a smile, "My grandfather drank too much, I will send him back to the room to rest first, everyone is delicious, hehe, delicious." ”
