CHAPTER XXXII

The old man sat on the edge of the bed, touched the pair of delicate and ingenious jade locks casually, and asked, "Which of you likes this thing?" I give it to her! ”

Liu Muya's flashlight shot straight at the past, shining on the small and delicate jade lock.

Liu Muya likes everything, she prefers the phoenix crown, but she didn't speak, she would never pull down her neck and say yes, after all, she is so arrogant.

Mu Ziyou said unceremoniously: "I want it!" ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked at Mu Ziyou, who was a little bright in the darkness.

This simply surprised Shangguan Han, with his understanding of Mu Ziyou, she would never ask for other people's things, as small as a penny, she would return them in full.

Liu Muya glanced at Mu Ziyou, and the disdain was only clear to herself, and no one noticed it.

Xie Tiannan was startled at first, but he looked carefully at the jade lock in the old man's hand for a while, the jade lock was crystal clear, the jade lines were beautiful, and the most surprising thing was that the jade lock that was interlocking in pairs was instantly opened in the old man's hand.

Everyone thought it was strange and thought: Is there a mystery?

The old man buckled the two jade locks again, and then handed them to Mu Ziyou.

The light of the flashlight followed the jade lock to Mu Ziyu's hand.

Mu Ziyou held it in the palm of his hand, and he didn't see the way out of the door after looking at it for a while.

Liu Muya ran out of patience and moved the flashlight pillar to the phoenix crown curtain.

The old man didn't reveal the secret, but coughed a few times, and when he coughed, the long hair on his forehead swayed a few times, revealing that terrible dignity.

Happened to shine a flashlight on his face, although Liu Muya had seen it for less than a while, she was still scared half to death, and shouted: "My mother! It's ugly! ”

Shangguan Han tugged on Liu Muya's arm, and Liu Muya hid behind Shangguan Han again and stuck out her tongue.

"Does beauty and ugliness really matter?" The old man said, as if in a questioning tone.

Liu Muya poked her head out and replied: "Then you don't need to say!" ”

Shangguan Han tugged Liu Muya again and signaled her to stop making a sound.

"yes!" The old man sighed.

"Many years ago, my grandfather built this house here, and he built it exactly as he wanted, and he felt that he deserved the most spectacular and beautiful.

I was born here since I was a child, until one year the housekeeper brought a girl who was two years younger than me.

I was only 10 years old at the time, and I felt very kind when I looked at this strange little girl in front of me, especially her smart and watery eyes, which I loved as soon as I saw it.

Her name is Late Autumn! With the name of autumn, it is as sad as autumn. ”

The old man paused, he choked for a while, and touched the phoenix crown beside him. To continue:

"She just smiled at me, and that smile was intoxicating.

We didn't guess anything, and she had to ask me everything.

There are few men in our family, and I have a sister who doesn't like late autumn, and she always likes to send her to do some tiring work.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said a few words to my sister, because I was an only son, and my sister didn't have a problem with me, so I intensified my venting in late autumn.

Because of this, I didn't confront my sister in person, but secretly helped Late Autumn.

In the long river of time, people have grown up slowly, and late autumn is no longer the ignorant little girl, but has grown into a slim beauty.

Even her sister, a recognized beauty, was jealous of her and targeted her everywhere.

When I grew up, I thought I could protect the late autumn, but unfortunately I was wrong, and this was the beginning of the catastrophe. ”

The old man paused, and touched the phoenix crown with a trembling hand, and Liu Muya suddenly said, "I'll just say it!" Old-fashioned stories, you still don't believe it! The ending is clear at a glance, do you still need to listen to it? ”

Liu Muya's voice was very low, she just wanted Shangguan Han to hear it, but the old man heard it clearly.

Shangguan Han didn't get angry, but just tugged Liu Muya again and motioned her to stop making a sound.

The old man did not continue to tell the story, but said, "If you don't want to hear it, you can leave!" ”

Shangguan Han hurriedly said: "No, your story is very attractive, we are all willing to listen to it." Right? Everybody? ”

Mu Ziyou responded first: "Hmm! What happened to late autumn later? Mu Ziyou listened fascinated, and his eyes lit up.

Xie Tiannan also responded and threw out a question: "What about her?" Why not here? ”

The old man's hand trembled, and the crutches almost slipped out of his hand.

Mu Ziyou squatted in front of the old man and held the trembling hands, she seemed to have forgotten the old man's ugly face, and did not show the slightest fear and disgust.

Liu Muya was taken aback, staring at Mu Ziyou for a while, she couldn't figure out that this girl was not afraid, and she was so close to the old man.

Her goosebumps had already fallen to the ground, and she shivered uncomfortably.

Shangguan Han understood Mu Ziyou's behavior, this is Mu Ziyou's pure and good nature.

Xie Tiannan has a new understanding of Mu Ziyou, but she was originally timid, but she was not as timid as she was at the beginning, but used a pure conscience to comfort the injured people.

The old man's heart seemed to be comforted, and he began to speak again.

"I am in love with Late Autumn, and I am secretly selfish for life.

I thought that as long as I returned from studying abroad, I would be able to create my own world for us with my knowledge.

But something big happened during my time abroad.

In the era of war and chaos, there are crises everywhere, but this crisis was caused by my sister.

My sister was deceived by a sanctimonious man who was a true bandit.

As soon as the man entered my house, he found his long-hidden accomplices and looted my family's gold and silver treasures.

He didn't spare my parents and the people who hired them, and locked them in the basement in the dark.

Not to mention my sister, who has long been taken by him.

Late Autumn was also targeted by him, Late Autumn is smart, and at the beginning, he made his face unhuman and ghostly, and went crazy at them.

The bandit was so frightened that he didn't want to see her, she had a chance to escape, but she didn't want to abandon me, she thought that as long as she stayed here, she would wait until I returned.

The bandit leader was afraid that the matter would be publicized, and wanted to kill these people to get rid of the trouble.

In the late autumn, in order to save my family, she removed her disguise and revealed her true appearance.

Gifted and intelligent, she wanted to use beauty tricks to seduce the bandit leader and take the opportunity to let my parents and servants go.

The purpose of late autumn was achieved, and the bandit leader had already fallen when he saw such a beauty.

The title of Lady of the Zhai gave her freedom in and out, and my parents, including my sister, were saved.

After they fled, she was left alone to face the endgame. ”

The old man couldn't cry when he said this, and when he mentioned the past again, his heart hurt like a knife.

Everyone wants to know what happened? No one dared to ask, just waited quietly.

Everyone's mood was extremely low, and their hearts were like a big stone pressing down, except for Liu Muya, who was indifferent.

She only thinks that this autumn is stupid, and she should take care of herself when she is not alone, no wonder she is only worthy of being a lower-class person.
