He glanced at Ah Miao, and his voice revealed two points of melancholy: "That little girl, since she was a child, likes to follow my ass around, always the elder brother is longer and the younger brother is short, how could I have thought that she would be so vicious at the age of seven or eight."

"It's a femme fatale." He racked his brains to come up with a word.

Ah Miao squinted her eyes behind the veil: "How come?" A little child, where does the poison come from? ”

The old man said nonchalantly: "Who knows!" Anyway, she drugged and poisoned the whole family. ”

The warm spring wind swept through the turbid air of Changle Lane.

Ah Miao remembered what happened when she was a child, and sighed softly: "But, how did I hear that the poison was given by the neighbor?" ”

The old man was touching the purse in his arms, and his face changed when he heard this: "What did you say?" ”

Ah Miao looked at him through the veil: "Isn't it?" I also heard that the poison was in the mutton. ”

"Nonsense!" The spring breeze blew the old man's gray hair, and he looked like an ugly cat with fried hair, "The events of that day were seen with my own eyes, how could it be wrong?" If you don't believe it, it's better to leave now and never come back to Changle Lane! ”

He was furious, as if he had been humiliated.

Miao laughed.

Of course, he would not admit that the poison in the mutton was caused by his father.

It's really bold, for decades, their family has lived in Changle Lane unscrupulously. Or did they already believe that the only person who was really guilty was the missing youngest daughter of the Zhong family? As for them, they are the most innocent people.

Ah Miao leaned against the stone wall and did not speak again.

The old man glared at her with his purse in his hand, picked up the duck on the ground and walked forward.

Not far away, is the courtyard of his house.

They are still the "friendly neighbors" of the Zhong family.

Two half-sized men poked their heads out from behind the door and looked at her quietly.

The old man walked over, and one of them knocked on the head: "Look at what, come in!" However, as he said this, he couldn't help but look back again.

In front of the old courtyard of the Zhong family, there was no one anymore, only the wind was blowing quietly.

He froze, shook his head, and walked into the room.

Ah Miao returned to the carriage and asked the coachman to leave. Qiuqiu hurriedly took a square handkerchief to wipe her hands: "Miss, it's so gray outside." ”

This Changle Lane is poor and dirty, and it really doesn't look like what it should be in Leizhou City.

She finished wiping Ah Miao's hands and wanted to polish her shoes again, but was stopped by Ah Miao.

"Ansheng sit down."

Qiuqiu sat back honestly.

When he arrived in Dongshi, Qiuqiu got off the carriage first, lifted the curtain, and stretched out his hand to help Ah Miao: "Miss, come on, it's so lively today, there are still people by the river putting water lanterns!" ”

The sky was still bright, and Ah Miao was a little puzzled: "If you don't have a festival, what kind of river lantern do you put on?" ”

Qiuqiu didn't wait for her to stand still, she had already whispered: "You forgot? The affairs of the Tang family! ”

The coachman drove the carriage to a secluded place.

There were many pedestrians around, and Qiuqiu said: "Do you want to go to see the flowers?" Or look at the lights? ”

Ah Miao did not hesitate: "Naturally, I went to see the flowers." "She came to Dongshi just to see the flowers. In particular, after going to Changle Lane before, seeing the "former residence" and seeing the "old people", she wanted to see those gorgeous flowers and plants even more.

She followed Qiuqiu, through the crowd, and walked to the other end of the long street.

The flowers from Jiangcheng and the flowers from Xiling are densely piled on the shelves.

The trees on the riverbank are full of foliage, and they are full of starry white flowers.

There are small stalls selling food, one next to the other, exuding the smell of incense.

The twilight fell, and no one seemed to notice.

On the surface of the river, round and large lotus leaves have just surfaced. The lotus lanterns in full bloom shuttle between the gaps, like a galaxy entering the sea.

On the second floor of the inn in the distance, a young man in a green shirt was lying on the window, boredly counting the copper plates.

One, two, three...... In the blink of an eye, it's gone.

People say that he is so poor that he will not even be able to jingle loudly.

When he came out of Xiling, he knew that Leizhou was close to the capital, and everything was expensive, but this damn thing was too expensive! It's only been a few days, and he's going to be on the streets.

Don't......

He clutched a copper coin and glanced back at the sword on the bed.

The gorgeous scabbard shows its value.

I don't know, just as a scabbard, will anyone be willing to accept it. However, how should the unsheathed sword be taken away? He sighed and withdrew his gaze, and looked at his right hand again.

The bandages wrapped around his head were already a little dirty.

He suddenly thought: What if you wrap strips of cloth around the body of the sword?

However, if he had the money to buy strips of cloth, what kind of scabbard should he have?

"I'm so miserable......" he leaned in front of the window and let out a long sigh.

In the air, there was a faint sweet aroma. Is it a sugar cake? Or oil cake? My stomach thundered.

Since he stepped into Leizhou, he has not eaten enough.

In the past, at home, although the food was unpalatable, but in the end he couldn't be hungry, which is like now, if the monster is not seen, he will starve to death first.

I really want to go out and buy two bites to eat.

The sixth young master of the Meng family in Xiling greedily breathed the taste of food in the air.

Suddenly, with a shake of his hand, a copper coin flew out.

He exclaimed, rolled over and jumped out the window, reaching out to grab the falling copper plate. But I was too hungry, my body was weak, and I was empty.

The copper plate "ding" and fell on the stone road.

The young man in the green shirt rolled down and slapped the copper plate.

Someone came out of the inn and frowned when they saw him.

He quickly picked up the copper plate, looked back and said, "This is what I dropped!" ”

"Heh......"

Hearing this short laugh that seemed to be mocking and disdainful, the handsome young man's face slowly turned red.

He coughed twice, got up and walked towards the inn, and he didn't want to go halfway until he was halfway there, and a shopkeeper came up: "Meng Gongzi!" Where's tomorrow's room price? ”

The people in front of the inn let out that kind of mocking laughter again.

He looked at the shopkeeper, his face was distressed, and he was still holding the copper coin in his hand.

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Aren't you still looking for the Rausch fox demon?" ”

He was not very old, but his voice was very loud, and when he shouted like this, everyone in the inn heard it.

"Hey, this offspring, I'm looking for a fox demon!"

"Hahahaha, there are no fox demons in the world, it's better to find a fox to pay for the house."

"Really! I should go fox hunting! ”

Laughter rang out.

The shopkeeper pulled the person aside: "It's not that I said that you Meng Gongzi, looking at your appearance, it doesn't look like you've suffered hardships, what kind of fox demon is this good guy, the husband eats and drinks all day long, and all he says is drunk, and he can't believe it at all." ”

"You, let's go home early! What fox demon is not a fox demon, there is no such thing as a monster in the world. Listen to my advice, and you can leave today. ”

The young man in green shirt stood at the bottom of the stairs with a backlight, and suddenly there was no expression on his face.

"He's not talking drunk."
