After saying this, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "I forgot, you can't speak at all, but I know you know everything, so let me tell you about it." ”

Ling'er looked at the Milky Way that seemed to be still flowing in the sky, her hand hung down and rubbed the corner of her clothes, and after hesitating for a while, she finally slowly said the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

"I don't know why you killed Miss, just as I don't know why you saved me from being discovered by that person. But I always feel that killing people is not what you want, but saving people is your heart's desire. It's unfair to Mademoiselle to think so, and I can't forgive you on her behalf, but as far as I'm concerned, I can't hate you anymore. ”

"It's strange that I feel a little sorry for you even though I know you're a bloodthirsty monster. I spent three days in the wooden box, and I felt that hundreds of years had passed, not because of darkness and fear, but because of loneliness. I felt the lines on the wall of the box, and when I felt that I couldn't stand it any longer, I suddenly thought of you. How did you get through it? For such a long time, you are alone, trapped in this narrow world, how do you survive? ”

"I am an orphan, I was bought by the Yuan family at a very young age, although the young lady is very good to me, but that loneliness is seeping into my bones. I often think that the world is so big, but I am alone, like a drop of water in the ocean, which is dried up by the sun one day, and it is estimated that no one cares. So, I understand your feelings. ”

Do you understand? It looked down at her, and suddenly hated that it couldn't speak, and if it could, it would tell her now: it was a drop of water, drifting with the tide for many years, and still not finding its own home.

"Whew...... Boom ......"

There was a strange noise in the grass behind him, and the weeds fell to the sides, revealing the familiar figure of Ling'er. He seemed to have been hiding there for a long time, and now he finally couldn't help but show up.

The moonlight shone on his face, and the throbbing veins on his forehead were clearly visible.

"As I said, if anyone is seen by an unrelated person, that person must die, whoever it is. So, even if Wei'er is dead, I don't have a word of resentment against you. However, you hid her from me, are you worthy of me? ”

He took a step forward, quietly retracting his gaze from the wooden harrier and slowly moving it to Ling'er's face.

The annual kite festival is held in Lucheng as scheduled, and in the suburbs outside the city, masters from all walks of life are putting their hand-made kites into the sky, taking advantage of the wind, so that their works can be displayed in front of the people who come to watch and the merchants who come to Lucheng to buy kites.

The highest flying are the two dragon head centipede kites, they are about 20 feet long, the main body is made of many red and yellow round monoliths, extending to the sides of the body "feet" not only imitate the feet of centipedes, but also maintain the balance of the kite, the structure is very exquisite.

The two kites are bull-headed antlers with shrimp-like eyes, a short snout, wide eyes, and turn with the wind when the wind rises, which is vivid, but also does not lose the vigor and majesty of the dragon.

"This is the new work of Chen's kite shop, it is more than twice as long as last year's, and it looks really magnificent."

"I heard that as soon as the Chen family's new kite this year came out, it was sold out, and even people from the capital came."

"No way, this Chen uses Chen Gongzi, not only can he read well, but even the kites are well pierced, and all the improved kites of the Chen family are from his skillful hands. You say, how can others give birth to such a capable child, and if you give birth to my family, you can't do anything, it's really more popular than people. ”

"What are you angry about, your family doesn't open a kite shop, the most angry person should be Yongsheng, I think their family didn't come at all this time."

"Yes, but not long after Miss Yuan left, the young master of the Yuan family ...... Alas, it is estimated that Master Yuan is not in the mood to open the shop anymore. ”

The sound of gossip and discussion reached the ears of Mu Xiaowu, who walked through the crowd, she stood on tiptoe and looked around, and when she saw a lonely figure standing alone on the outer edge, her eyes lit up, and she whispered to Zhao Zimai beside her, "Childe, Chen Yong." ”

Zhao Zimai looked in the direction of her finger, and saw Chen Yong standing by the city wall, holding the spool in his hand, gently pulling the thin thread tied on it.

At the end of the thin line was the blue-green butterfly kite, which had become somewhat worn.

"The two largest dragon head centipedes are from Chen Yong's hands, he didn't release them, but he put this butterfly kite here, which shows that he has a deep affection for Yuan Wei, but we misunderstood him. But he was misunderstood, so why didn't he explain? Mu Xiaowu looked at Chen Yong's back and muttered.

"He doesn't care, he just needs to be known by one person." Zhao Zimai glanced at Mu Xiaowu and said with a smile, "Xiaowu, you are really smart where you should be smart, and confused where you shouldn't be smart, this is good." ”

"Praise me or scold me," Mu Xiaowu shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, but a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Childe, let's really leave Lucheng like this?" ”

Zhao Zimai squinted at her, "The real murderer is dead, all the Fushou ointment has been confiscated, what are you going to do if you don't leave?" ”

Mu Xiaowu's eyes flickered, "What about the wood harrier?" ”

"This evil creature often only appears once in hundreds of years, and the affairs of Shuntian Mansion are busy, so it is impossible for me to stay here and guard it." He replied with a serious and well-reasoned answer.

Mu Xiaowu then clapped his hands and said, "It's just right, the old man and I are also going to the west and go the same way as my son, so that we don't have to worry about food and lodging on the way, and with you as our company, we won't be lonely." ”

Zhao Zimai crossed his arms and looked at her for a long time, finally shook his head and smiled, looked at the crowd, and then lowered his voice and said, "I can't hide anything from you, but how can you guess that I pretended to leave Lu City?" ”

"I don't know what to do," Mu Xiaowu glanced at him, "Lord Cao hates Mu Harrier to the core, for fear that he will not be able to avenge his wife." But you just left, but he looked calm, without the slightest intention of retaining, which is too unreasonable. ”

Seeing that her and Cao Min's plan was easily exposed by her, Zhao Zimai stood still, looked back at Mu Cripple who was sitting on the horse, and then said softly, "Although Yuan Changli is dead, I have always been a little uneasy in my heart, and so is Lord Cao, because except for those blessings and longevity ointments, there is no confession or human evidence to support this case." In addition, the wooden harrier has not yet been caught, so I can't leave easily. ”

"But who is Childe doing this scene for? Do you really suspect that the real culprit is someone else? Mu Xiaowu was puzzled.
