Li You looked at the birthmark on the back of Master Li's neck, and didn't say anything for a long time, just sighed incessantly. He was very glad that he didn't tell Yuzhen's words, otherwise he might not be able to help Yuzhen, but he would have lost his life.

"I wonder why that woman wants you to look for an old man?"

Looking at the old man Li, Li You didn't say a word for a long time, just said a few irrelevant words perfunctorily, and called the maid over and told him to help the old man back to the room to rest.

At the time of dinner, there was a big feast. Li You held the chopsticks and stared at the food on the plate motionlessly, his face full of confusion. Hua Mei had already seen that something was wrong with him, but she didn't say anything.

And No. 3 has an excellent appetite, and although he does not make a sound when he eats, he eats exaggeratedly. Li You secretly glanced at him several times, and he didn't know whether to tell him about it.

"No, if they let their family know that I am going to murder the old man, they will have to pick my skin." Li You also made up his mind, took a few bites of food, and left the table early. At this moment, he just wanted to go to the door panel to see if he could call the female ghost out and discuss countermeasures.

The night in Chang'an City is not as bright as Li You imagined, probably because of the war and the curfew at night. However, the moon that has just risen brightens the grass and wood utensils in the courtyard.

It is said that this peach nourishes the body, the apricot hurts people, and the dead are buried under the plum tree, Li You looked at a half-high tree in front of the low house, and said in his heart that this should not be a plum tree.

For some reason, since he knew that Old Man Li was the murderer who killed Yuzhen, Li You felt that there might be dead people buried everywhere. Thinking of this, he didn't waste any more time and walked forward quickly.

In short, it's dark, and Yuzhen may appear at any time. He walked slowly into the wall next to the low house, looked at the door panel and whispered, "Miss Yuzhen, I have found the person you are looking for now, hurry up and come out to discuss what to do?" ”

In this way, he muttered for a long time, and did not see Yuzhen again, and he couldn't help but wonder if she didn't follow when he walked away with the door panel. Or, he was removed by an immortal family on the way.

Just when he was persevering, two drums sounded outside the courtyard, Li You's throat was a little dry, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and turned to lean against the door panel, thinking that for a while, there might be no one else in the house except for the night guard, why did this Yuzhen still refuse to show up?

He walked up to the "garlic bowl" and pounded the herbs in the bowl with a stone mallet, looking a little listless.

Hua Mei followed him as early as when he left. Seeing him talking to himself to the door panel, he didn't make a sound, and secretly observed. Seeing that he had given up, he walked lightly from outside the courtyard wall to the courtyard.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Eh, but it scares me to death, why are you silent in the aisle?" Li You threw down the stone mallet in his hand, walked up to her and whispered, "I have one thing, I don't know if I should tell you or not." ”

Under the moonlight, Hua Mei's eyes were extremely gentle, and she looked at Li You and whispered, "Say it." ”

"But, after listening to it, you may be confused."

"Well, it doesn't hurt to just say it."

Li You looked up at the starry sky and sighed: "Miss Yuzhen, that is, the female ghost attached to the door panel, said that the murderer who murdered her may be your family." ”

"What?"

"I mean, the person who poisoned Yuzhen with medicinal wine may be Master Li."

Hua Mei's eyes widened, she looked at him directly, and said tremblingly: "I'm not talking about this, I mean, the voice you just spoke, what, how did it become a woman's voice?" ”

"Huh? A woman's voice? Did you hear it wrong, no, it may be that Yuzhen is here. After speaking, Li You hurriedly looked around.

And Hua Mei hurriedly reached out and grabbed his shirt, and continued: "I'm sure it came out of your mouth, when you first said that it was an adult who murdered Yuzhen, the voice was not your voice, it was a woman's voice. ”

After listening to Hua Mei's words, the hairs on Li You's arms stood upside down, and an inexplicable fear eroded every nerve in him.

If you want to say that the ghost is possessed, it is unlikely, then you should be like in the film and television drama, and lose consciousness. From beginning to end, he thought he was very sober.

At the beginning of the second watch, the entire mansion gradually quieted down, and at this moment, in the lonely backyard, only the nervous gasps of a man and a woman could be heard.

The breeze came slowly, driving the dead grass and broken branches in the courtyard, making a rustling sound, like an immortal ghost whispering in the ears of the two.

"Grunt", Li You swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his mind was in a mess, and all kinds of monsters and demons were dancing strangely in his brain.

Hua Mei also felt that this matter was too incredible, she once heard Xiao Liu tell him that there were really demons and monsters in the world, and she firmly said that he was talking nonsense, but the words that came out of Li You's mouth just now were indeed women's voices.

The surrounding atmosphere forced her to want to hold Li You's arm, but because she couldn't see his face, she couldn't help but think crankily in her mind, the current Li You was still not him.

"Lang Jun, are you still you?" Hua Mei asked in a whisper. Li You turned his head slowly and leisurely, as if the growth of trees and the sprouts of grass, which made Hua Mei's heart rise to her throat.

She followed the rotation of Li You's head, took two steps back, staring at Li You's face without moving, and when his delicate face was completely illuminated by the moonlight, Hua Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and then she pretended to be angry and said:

"Why don't you say a word, you want to scare me to death?"

Li You looked at her pale face, lowered his head, first walked to the courtyard wall, poked his head through the arch, and searched for a long time before walking back to Hua Mei and whispering: "I know what's going on, but this idea is a little awkward." ”

"Awkward? What do you mean. ”

"It's just that I think this thing is not what we see, and there is a reason for it. Moreover, I believe that Yuzhen is not a female ghost. ”

Hua Mei was a little confused by his words, scratching her head and looking confused. Li You frowned tightly and sighed uncontrollably, still thinking repeatedly about whether he should tell the truth.

He knows that the price of truth is often painful, which is why he is entangled. Since beating him, all kinds of seemingly strange events have been nothing more than weaknesses and defects in human nature.

Leaning down, Li You stared at the "garlic bowl", looked up and asked Hua Mei: "Do you know what the herbs are here?" ”

"Look at this dry petal, it may be Tripterygium wilfordii, and there are some arsenic stones mixed in it. Wait, this one looks like coriander? ”

"Is it all poison?" Although Li You had not heard of these herbs, looking at the ant corpses on the ground, he was sure that they were not medicines used to treat colds.

And the flower girl nodded, and then shook her head and said that coriander is a kind of herb with a paralyzing effect.

This also confirmed his conjecture that for a while, everything could be completed. Standing in the lonely courtyard, he regretted his decision to give up and continue to cross, and after careful consideration, he said to Hua Mei:

"I'm afraid, we'll have to find a chance to confront Yuzhen."
