Chapter 25: Secrets

"But you went anyway." Sang's gaze was projected onto Chen Rui's face through the hat, which was very young, and he looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he had already taken on too many things that did not belong to this age.

"If I don't go, I won't find the murderer who killed so many people in our Chen family, if I don't go, even if I live, the things in this skin will be dead and rotten." Chen Rui pointed to his chest, and his voice was a little harsh.

"What did you find in the Mobi Pavilion?" After a long time, Sang said such a sentence softly.

"I'll follow that woman," Chen Rui's eyes suddenly turned cold, his fists clenched, and his bones bulged, "The woman who killed my grandfather, parents, and brother, I ...... Finally discovered her secret. ”

***

At first, I didn't notice anything unusual about her behavior, she was shrewd and capable, and her knowledge of ingredients and cooking was far beyond ordinary people, so I always thought that the Peerless Pavilion could be where it is today thanks to her management and God-given talent.

But later, I realized that I was wrong, it turned out that this was only the side that we could see, and the other side of her hidden in the darkness was the real reason for the prosperity of the Incredible Pavilion.

At that time, I had followed her for some days and found that her life was extremely simple and not extravagant at all. She earned so much silver, but she only wore ordinary clothes, ate the simplest food, and even often ate with us, and she never moved her chopsticks to eat the meat and vegetables on the table, only picking some green vegetables and tofu to eat. The place where she lives is also very simple, a courtyard house, there are only three rooms in it, and even the servants are only hired two, which is very different from Lin Songyao's luxury.

For a while, I was very skeptical of my own judgment, could such a person who had no desire for life really be the murderer who brutally murdered my entire family? But when I thought of my grandfather's words, I put aside the doubts in my mind for the time being and continued to follow her.

I finally discovered her secret.

I waited outside her house for a long time that day? Found out that she actually went out in the middle of the night? She's the only one, and no one is following? I went in the direction of the Infinite Pavilion.

I remember my palms sweating with nervousness? Because she went out so alone, she must have to do that? The thing that my grandfather mentioned in his letter. I cautiously followed her and followed her to the Peerless Pavilion.

You won't be allowed to stay in the middle of the cabinet at night? I knew this rule when I came in? And she didn't go directly through the front door, but came to the back door, which had never been opened.

She did a very strange move that I still haven't figured out. She didn't enter the loft through the back door? Instead took out a handkerchief? Carefully wiped the jade steps, polishing them to a shiny and clear color, more verdant than the pines and cypresses in the mountain forest behind.

After doing all this, she went around to the front door again, opened it and walked in. And me? Of course, he quietly followed her and entered the Infinite Pavilion with her.

I was so scared? I always feel that this yard that I am already familiar with is full of weirdness, as if a monster can be drilled anytime and anywhere? gnawed me to the bone. But I guessed wrong, after following her around the pavilion a few times? I came to the courtyard of Yuyin Mountain House.

Yuyin Mountain House? Is it a room where you entertain your guests? I heard that Banzai Ye used to eat here, so this courtyard has been locked since then, and no one is allowed to enter.

But she went in, in the dead of night.

You can't guess what she did, she made a table full of dishes, and filled the big table that could seat twenty people in the Yuyin Mountain House. I was stunned, I didn't know what she was going to do, in the middle of the night, she was cooking so many dishes, who was she going to feast?

But her next move made me guess more or less who the "guests" she was going to entertain were.

After arranging the dishes, she came to the back of the Yuyin Mountain House, and took out a small broken bowl against the two closed back doors, and struck it with her chopsticks. It was at that moment that I experienced one of the strangest things in my life: I felt something that I couldn't see or touch.

This sounds strange, but ...... It's true.

I felt them come out of the barren mountains and old forests outside, pour into the courtyard gate, and when they passed me, they even set off a gust of air, and there was a smell of earth inside. At first I didn't know what it was, but later, when I followed her into the Yuyin Mountain House and peeked outside, I knew what those formless things were.

Chen Rui bit his lower lip fiercely, and after imprinting a few tooth marks on it, he let go again, "It's a ghost, right?" People don't be so gluttonous, you fight for me, you chew profusely, food flies in the air, and plates are smashed without knowing how many are smashed. In less than half a burnt of incense, all the dishes in the house disappeared, and the remaining plates were as clean as if they had been licked by a dog, and not even a drop of vegetable juice remained. ”

Later, I followed them for a while, and the longer I followed, the more frightened I became, there seemed to be some kind of agreement between her and these things, she fed them, and they helped her gather popularity and make the business of the Mobi Pavilion flourish.

Chen Rui seemed to be trapped in a memory, and his face was full of deep pain, "I don't know how my brother, parents, and grandfather disappeared, but I know that I alone will never be able to fight her." Fortunately, at this time, I met Lord Zhao and met you. Lord Zhao has long been famous because of Xu Chong's case, and I have also heard about it, and the most important thing is that I heard that the case in Maocheng also seems to involve evil demons, isn't this exactly what I need? I had no choice but to seize this only opportunity. ”

"Baotian's jade pendant was stolen by you while he was drunk, and deliberately lured us to return to the Wubi Pavilion the next day. You also chose to pretend to meet us by chance when we left, and told Zhao Zimai that you left something in the Wubi Pavilion, so that your disappearance was confirmed. Of course," Sang glanced at Chen Rui's left hand, his little finger was gone, and it was wrapped in a thick white cloth, "The finger was chopped off by yourself, because that night, there were no wild ghosts to come to the Pavilion, and that night, I drove them away." ”

Chen Rui nodded and smiled, "The girl is really smart. ”

Sang Chao took a step forward, its gaze suddenly became gloomy, and its eyes seemed to have two ice cubes in its mouth, "It's over, but no matter how smart I am, I haven't figured it out, how did you not be discovered by the thousands of wild ghosts around her after following Wu Guirong for so many days?" ”
