Lizheng's daughter-in-law brought up the two bowls of hot noodle soup that had been cooked: "There are no good things at home, you two will eat some." ”

Qi Yu and Mu Chenmo hurriedly took it, and a bowl of hot noodle soup was enough to warm their whole bodies in this snowy weather.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law threw two pieces of sun-dried cow dung into the charcoal basin, and Mu Chenmo saw that Qi Yu's face changed significantly when he saw Qi Yu, who was eating noodles.

took a bite of the noodles and greeted Lizheng's daughter-in-law: "Auntie is so skillful, this noodles are really delicious." ”

"There are still in the pot, not enough for your aunt to serve you." The daughter-in-law of Kua's daughter-in-law smiled and walked out.

Mu Chenmo came to Qi Yu's side with a bowl and looked at him funny.

"And it doesn't smell, as for it, didn't you burn cow dung when you traveled?"

"Mu Chenmo." Qi Yu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and looked at her helplessly: "We're eating, eating, don't mention that, okay?" You'll talk about it when I'm done. ”

"I didn't expect that Qi Yu still has a habit of cleanliness." Mu Chenmo quipped.

Qi Yu turned his face and buried his head in eating noodles, silently crying in his heart, his little Mo'er was completely taught by those soldiers and ruffians.

Under the two bowls of hot noodle soup, Mu Chenmo felt that he was warm all over, and moved his hands and feet: "Have you eaten enough?" When we're full, let's go to the house where we died. ”

Qi Yu, who had just put down the bowl, shook his head helplessly, Mo'er's desperate Sanlang's temperament must be changed.

Seeing Qi Yu shaking his head, Mu Chenmo frowned: "Since you don't want to go, then I'll go by myself." ”

Put on a half-dry cotton coat and push open the door, strode out in the wind and snow, Qi Yu hurriedly caught up, this quick temper, he didn't wait for the sweat on his forehead to fall out, it was easy for the wind to enter the body.

Out of the door, Mu Chenmo walked in the direction pointed by Lizheng's daughter-in-law, the sky was already dark, and every house had oil lamps lit.

Walking to the only home where there was no light, the door was ajar, and the whirring wind blew and I don't know whether the door or the window creaked, revealing desolation and weirdness.

Mu Chenmo took out the fire fold from his arms, and saw Qi Yu hand over a candle, and raised his eyebrows: "Where did it come from?" ”

"Brought from Wei County." Qi Yu replied angrily and took the lead in walking to the house.

Pouting, Mu Chenmo followed behind Qi Yu, stingy, didn't he just use cow dung to disgust two sentences when eating, and he still held a grudge.

The courtyard was already covered with a layer of snow, and the bloodstains that Lizheng's daughter-in-law said were also buried, and the two walked to the three rooms on the north side.

The tables, chairs and benches in the hall were neatly arranged, and when I walked inside, the bedding on the kang was scattered, and the blood stains on the ground had turned dark red.

Mu Chenmo stepped forward and lifted the quilt mattress, and saw the three dried blood stains below flowing to the ground, and the two of them walked to the other room, and the situation was similar to the first one, obviously the family was killed in their sleep.

"Mo'er, let's go to the East Chamber to take a look, generally the main family will not stay in the main house." Qi Yu protected the candle with his hand, afraid that it would be blown out by the wind brought by Mu Chen's Moyang quilt.

Striding to the east room, Mu Chenmo found that the door was locked, Qi Yu took the candle and shone it carefully, and the brass lock was shining by the candle.

"It's so new." Mu Chenmo muttered in a low voice.

Handing the candle to Mu Chenmo, Qi Yu took out a thin stick from his sleeve and pounded it a few times at the keyhole.

"Click." The lock is open.

Removing the lock, Qi Yu pushed open the door and walked in first, Mu Chenmo hurriedly followed with the candle, the bedding on the soil pit was neatly folded, and the room looked clean and tidy.

The two of them stood at the doorway, looking at the room that could be seen at a glance, and everything was neat and clean, and there was no abnormality to be seen.

After locking the door, the two of them walked around the kitchen and the utility room to the west, but found nothing wrong.

The candle flame was extinguished, and the two walked out, the fine snow particles had turned into sprinkled snowflakes, Mu Chenmo stretched out his hand and watched the snowflakes melt in his palm.

Who would have thought that kindness would be exchanged for the tragic death of a family, and the woman who opened the door must have regretted that she was not at the beginning, what kind of person could do such a heartbreaking thing.

Qi Yu hugged Mu Chenmo: "Don't think about it, it's snowing heavily, let's go back and rest, hurry early tomorrow, and strive to get to Dunhuang County when it's dark." ”

Mu Chenmo nodded, looked at the closed door of the family, and sighed, after such an incident, it should really be fortunate to have a family to take them in.

As soon as I walked back to the courtyard, I saw that Li was wearing a leather jacket and a leather hat and holding a lantern and was about to go out, and saw that the expressions of the two of them were obviously relaxed.

Reprimanded with a black face: "It's not a peaceful year, you still don't walk around, hurry back to the house and sleep, and you'll be in a hurry tomorrow." ”

Qi Yu responded continuously, hugged Mu Chenmo and walked towards the east chamber, and turned around and asked when he pushed the door.

"Lizheng, let's lock it up at night."

"What kind of lock is locked, the money for a copper lock is enough to eat for half a month, who has spare money to buy that ornament." Li entered the house with his forehand behind his back.

Mu Chenmo looked at Qi Yu, Qi Yu motioned for her to speak in the house, the two entered the house, and Qi Yu began to dust the snow on Mu Chenmo's body.

"I'll do it myself, how did you find out that there was a problem with the lock." Mu Chenmo took the snow by himself, and by the way, he helped Qi Yu also pat the snow on his body.

Qi Yu patted the snow on his body and asked, "The General's Mansion locks the door, do we lock the door of the Palace?" ”

"Aren't there maids and servants in the palace and the general's mansion? Of course, there is no need to lock it when someone watches. Mu Chenmo looked at Qi Yu puzzled.

Mu Chenmo also has a black line, in her previous life, she had to check the door several times when she went out, whether the door was locked, I really didn't think about it, don't the people in the village usually lock the door?

Qi Yu couldn't understand how someone who was usually very smart could make a mistake in this matter.

"Think about what you just said."

After pondering for a moment, Mu Chenmo raised his head in surprise: "Could it be that the lock was locked by the murderer who killed that family." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Chenmo rushed out, Qi Yu pulled her back, didn't this woman know how to rest, didn't you see, just now they went out for a spin, are they ready to go out to find them?

"Go to bed first, and come back tomorrow when you go out, and then look for it, in case the murderer is from this village, it won't be exposed."

Stopped, Mu Chenmo felt that what Qi Yu said was very reasonable, so he sat on the warm kang that was burning, and the comfortable person lay down directly.

Turning around and walking out of the door, Qi Yu asked for a bucket of boiling hot water from Lizheng's daughter-in-law, and walked in with a wooden plate.

I was just about to call Mu Chenmo to wash his face. feet, found that the person had fallen asleep, distressed took off the shoes and socks with a cloth dipped in hot water and prepared to scrub her.

I saw Mu Chenmo sit up with a grunt, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Qi Yu's movements, and he stammered.

"You, you're going to wash me. Foot. ”

Qi Yu nodded, Mu Chenmo looked at the cloth towel in Qi Yu's hand and quickly took it and wiped his face, and soaked his feet in the basin a little embarrassed: "I'll come by myself, you can wash it too, it's cold and the water is cool fast." ”

Moved a chair Qi Yu sat opposite Mu Chenmo, took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in, and his big feet kept rubbing his little feet.

Mu Chenmo's forehead jumped suddenly, if it weren't for the fact that he just wanted to wash himself. For the sake of the feet, it has already erupted.

Qi Yu smiled thiefly, seeing that Mu Chenmo was already on the verge of an outbreak, he picked up the cloth and hurriedly wiped Mu Chenmo's feet.

"Qi Yu, you don't have to do this." Mu Chenmo sighed helplessly.

Qi Yu wiped his feet and cleaned up the basin and glanced at the person sitting on the bed: "My own lady doesn't love herself, let others hurt." ”

Hearing Qi Yu's words, the corners of Mu Chenmo's mouth rose unconsciously, and she saw Qi Yu's care for her all the way in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.

Seeing Qi Yu lying down, he took the initiative to cover him with a quilt: "Qi Yu, am I not a woman at all now." ”

"Fool, sleep, you just do it, you don't have to change." Qi Yu took Mu Chenmo into his arms and extinguished the oil lamp.

Shrinking in Qi Yu's arms, Mu Chenmo thanked the great god of crossing in his heart, it turned out that good people are really good and rewarded, and the happiness that he longed for in the previous life was filled by this ancient prince.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said silently in his heart: "Qi Yu, thank you, thank you for warming a soul in another world with love and tolerance." ”

As if in response to her, Qi Yu lowered his head and gently kissed Mu Chenmo's forehead: "Sleep." ”
