After speaking, he got up: "Mother-in-law, I'll help you wear beads, do you want to make bead curtains?" ”

Speaking of this, a shy smile suddenly appeared on the mother-in-law's old face: "Yes, I want to wear it and hang it in this room, when the wind blows, it makes a loud noise, think about it, is it romantic and warm." ”

Granny Wu seems to have a girl hidden in her heart, and she still has infinite expectations for that mood.

Mo Shaozhi smiled lightly and said softly: "Well, that must be very beautiful." ”

Granny Wu giggled happily when she heard this.

The dog and cat, who were already asleep, woke up in an instant and stared at her.

Gao Lan opened her sleepy eyes slightly, and saw Mo Shaozhi wearing beads with her mother-in-law, the little civet cat holding the cat in her arms, the dog lying under her feet, and Bai Qingli lying on her side, her mind wandering......

Serenity.

She smiled slightly, and did not open her mouth to disturb the leisure.

Gao Lan opened his eyes again, and it was already early in the morning.

They were all already asleep.

Gao Lan doesn't know when he sleeps, he has been eating, sleeping and sleeping lately, and he has no concept of time for a long time.

Suddenly saw her mother-in-law looking at pushing the door out, Gao Lan thought she was up at night, but seeing that Xiao hadn't come back for a long time, Gao Lan was sleepy again, yawning again and again, trying to hold her eyelids, and looked out the window.

Reflecting the moonlight, she seemed to see a person standing in the courtyard, dressed in white, with long hair hanging down on his back, such a beautiful back...... After thinking about it, she fell asleep helplessly.

"The old man visits the young palace master." Granny Wu leaned over and acted carefully.

"You know that I don't like the people of the Shuangsha Palace," the man's voice was lazy and cold, "but I remember that you have a little nurturing affection for me, and today I am here to remind you, leave here as soon as possible, this is Xue Linglong's territory in Xuejiazhuang, he has a vendetta with the Shuangsha Palace, and he will definitely eradicate you." ”

"Thank you for reminding the young palace master, alas, the old body, I've been hiding here in Wushe for a while, I don't want to leave, what should come will always come, if I really die here, it can be regarded as providence." There was a calmness in Granny Wu's old voice.

"Well, if you want to die, no one can save you, but don't bother other people." The man's voice grew colder, and as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and flew away.

"The old body understands." Granny Wu leaned over.

When she returned to the house, she lit the lamp and woke them up one by one.

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing here?" The little tanuki rubbed her sleepy eyes with a look of surprise.

"This day has begun to whiten, you have to go to the northwest mountain, let the chicken bathe in the first ray of morning light, that effect is the best, hurry up, one person hold a chicken, just go on the road, wait for Gao Gongzi to be good, you don't have to come back, the chicken is left for you to eat on the road." After saying that, Granny Wu sat down in her chair a little tiredly, and continued to wear beads.

Although Mo Shaozhi was a little suspicious, she saw that her mother-in-law was so insistent, so she motioned for them to prepare to leave.

It was still dark outside.

Several people helped Gao Lan onto his horse and prepared to leave.

I heard a deep voice from behind: "You little boys, I like each of you, and each has its own characteristics." In the future, we must be good, and don't forget our original intention. Don't go down the wrong path, do the wrong thing, and regret it. ”

Bai Qingqing was a little reluctant to her, turned around and went back to the house, and took her old hand: "Granny Wu, you have to be good, and when we come back and pass by, I will bring you something delicious." ”

Mo Shaozhi also came over: "Mother-in-law, thank you for your hospitality, we are grateful." ”

The little civet cat also muttered: "Mother-in-law, I really want to stay with you for a while, the chicken soup you made is also delicious, we will definitely come back to ask for a bowl again, but this time we will not kill chickens without permission." After she finished speaking, her mother-in-law laughed too.

"Alright, let's go, it's too late to go." The mother-in-law's voice was a little choked.

A few people reluctantly went out.

Walk towards the hill that my mother-in-law said.

But after walking for a long time, I was moving away from the mountain, and I never saw the mountain.

The day is getting brighter.

"If you can't find a place to find it, will you miss the opportunity?" Bai Qingqing held the chicken in his arms and said worriedly.

saw that Mo Shaozhi did not respond for a long time.

The little civet cat called: "Brother Mo, Brother Mo." ”

At this time, Mo Shaozhi came back to his senses, and his face tightened: "Don't you think it's a little strange? This black woman woke us up in such a hurry...... Why was it so rushed when it could have been told in advance the night before? ”

Bai Qingqing pondered for a moment: "Seeing her like that, is she in a hurry to drive us away?" ”

"Before leaving, I saw that her beaded hand seemed to be trembling, you think about it, where there is a big night to start wearing beads, it seems that she is in a hurry to put on the beaded curtain." Mo Shaozhi had a skeptical look on his face.

The tanuki asked, "Is that something?" ”

"Otherwise, let's go back and see, if there is really something, we can help!" White turned the horse's head lightly.

"It's okay, anyway, Brother Gao is not bad for a few days, and it's okay to delay coming back today and tomorrow." After Mo Shaozhi finished speaking, several people rode back.

When he was about to arrive at Wushe, Mo Shaozhi suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and lowered his voice: "I seem to smell blood......

A few people quietly dismounted, cautiously approaching the courtyard.

The sky has lit up slightly.

The closer they got to the yard, the stronger the smell of blood.

Until they walked into the courtyard, the sight of the courtyard shocked each of them.

I saw my mother-in-law lying in a pool of blood, surrounded by hacked black chickens......

Bai Qingqing quickly hugged her mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?" How so! ”

Mo Shaozhi glanced at it and sighed sadly.

The little civet cat wept bitterly: "How can this be? In the blink of an eye, a peaceful hut is in such a miserable state. ”

Gao Lan also sat slumped aside.

The three chickens that were placed at the door flew over and crashed to death on the wall......

Mo Shaozhi was shocked: "No! ”

Seeing the last chicken, it wailed against the rising sun, and let out a huge heart-rending wail, as if it had cut through everything...... Died of exhaustion in an instant.

Gao Lan fell in response.

Mo Shaozhi carried her into the house.

The curtain of the mother-in-law has been hung. Although he could see that the beads on the back were worn crookedly, Mo Shaozhi could even imagine that her mother-in-law was full of joy when she saw the bead curtain hanging.

Bai Qingqing hugged her mother-in-law in her arms for a long time.

It's getting white.

Mo Shaozhi took a closer look at the traces left around, combined with the wound on her mother-in-law's neck: "Mother-in-law was strangled to death by four people, and it can be seen that it is Xuejiazhuang's life-killing chain......"

"Isn't this Xue Jiazhuang a famous and decent family in the rivers and lakes! Why is it so brutal! Why kill such a kind old woman! Bai Qingqing's eyes were red, and the blue tendons on his forehead were bursting.

Mo Shaozhi said with his hand: "Brother Bai, do you remember what I told you before I came, this Wu Granny is likely to be a person from the Shuangsha Palace, so she will have this way to crack the Cangliang Incense, before the Shuangsha Palace was in its heyday, it had a lot of grudges with various factions in the rivers and lakes, and now in the territory of Xuejiazhuang, how can it tolerate the existence of the people of the Shuangsha Palace." ”

"No wonder my mother-in-law said something like that when she left—don't go down the wrong path, do the wrong thing, and regret it." Bai Qingqing's eyes were dim, and his eyes were full of tears.
