Chapter 51: Snow Moon Tower (5)
A few attempts to investigate were fruitless.
When Yun Lingxiu and the others returned to Xueyue Tower, it was already unitary time.
"Hey...... I'm so hungry......" Nan Rongpu Chu touched his hungry and shriveled stomach and waved his hand at his companion, "Why don't we have a good meal first?" ”
Because everyone lives in different rooms, breakfast is served in their own rooms. Right now, it's the middle of the afternoon, stuck between meals, and it's the time to go up and down. Everyone was tired, and in order to prevent everyone from going back to the room to rest, Nan Rongpu had to ask in advance.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry too." Yun Lingxiu nodded, looked at everyone inquiringly, and saw that no one objected, so he looked around the restaurant, "However, now is not the time for meals......
"It's okay, wrap it up with me!" Nan Rong Puchu raised his eyebrows, called a small servant, and asked him to lead the way towards the back kitchen, "You go to the wing room first, I want to visit the chef of this restaurant for a long time......"
"Oh?" Yun Lingxiu glanced at Nan Rongpu unexpectedly, "Old acquaintances? ”
"With such a good craft, how can it be an ordinary person?" Nan Rongpu was quite proud at the beginning, "This chef used to be the imperial chef of my royal family!" ”
"It's so powerful, I have to go and see it!" Yun Lingxiu patted Yun Yuan's shoulder, "Yun Yuan, are you going?" ”
Yun Yuan was not interested, but looking at the three girls in front of him, he could only helplessly follow and join the men's camp divided in an instant. The three of them followed the servant all the way through the corridor and towards the back kitchen.
Before he could do it, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
"Huh? Has anyone been sick? Nan Rongpu said at the beginning, "Such a strong medicinal smell? ”
"It's Ah Qiu next to Miss Lingji," the little guy said respectfully, "Ah Qiu has won the love of Miss Lingji, and this illness can make Miss Lingji anxious, so she has taken great pains to invite a lot of doctors and boil a lot of precious medicinal herbs......"
"Miss Aqiu?" Nan Rongpu had a flash of inspiration, "Is it the little girl with a round face, who has been following Miss Lingji?" ”
"Childe has a good memory." The little guy smiled and led the way.
"Ah......" Nan Rongpu Chujun's face wrinkled slightly, "She also brought us snacks in the morning, why is this sick......"
"It's strange to say, Ah Qiu has always been in good health, and it is difficult to get sick several times a year. I went out this morning to buy for Miss Lingji, and when I came back, I fell ill. The little guy didn't care, and sighed slightly, "Sure enough, I climbed a high branch, this person, my body is golden......"
"Where's that Ah Qiu's wing?" Yun Lingxiu cut off his words and suddenly asked.
"The ...... in the northeast corner of the backyard" Before the little girl finished speaking, she saw that the boy who asked the question had already walked towards that side with two companions, and couldn't help but shake her head and smile contemptuously, "Another seed of infatuation......
"Huh? Are we going to visit the girl? Nan Rong Puchu asked while struggling with Yun Lingxiu's sleeve in his hand.
"What? The girl brought you snacks in the morning, but now that you're sick, don't you go to offer condolences? Yun Lingxiu let go of his twisted sleeves and grinned.
"That's a snack for Brother Yun Yuan...... Nan Rongpu Chu looked uneasy, and straightened the folds of his cuffs.
Yun Yuan's expression was faint and he did not answer.
While talking, they had come to the backyard, and following the smell of medicine, the three of them found the girl's residence. A beautiful and tall woman was fetching water outside the house, and it was Lingji.
"Miss Lingji......" Nan Rongpu made a salute at the beginning.
Yun Lingxiu and Yun Yuan both bowed.
Ling Ji turned around and saw Yun Yuan, her watery eyes instantly lit up by three points, and she said with a little surprise, "Why are the three sons here?" ”
"It's a bit abrupt......," Yun Lingxiu said with a smile, "We shouldn't have come here, but when we heard that Ah Qiu was sick, we came to visit one or two." In a hurry, I hope that Miss Lingji will not see outside! ”
"In this way, Lingji thanked the three sons for their kindness for Ah Qiu." Lingji bowed her sleeves to show her gratitude, picked up the basin of water, and walked into the house, "That's it...... Childe went into the house and spoke. ”
The three of them entered the room, and the room was still filled with a strong smell of medicine, and behind a curtain, a woman was lying on the bed, babbling nonsense.
Yun Lingxiu looked at the medicine residue in the bowl on the table, and without saying a word, he pulled the two of them to sit down.
"Wait a minute." Lingji brought water into the curtain and carefully wiped Ah Qiu's face.
"Miss Lingji is really beautiful and kind." Nan Rongpu Chu sincerely admired.
"Childe has an overreputation." Lingji bent over and twisted the towel as she said humbly, "Ah Qiu has always taken care of me, this time she is sick, of course I have to take good care of her." ”
"What is wrong with Miss Aqiu?"
At this question, Lingji fell silent. The atmosphere of the room was a little weird at the moment.
Lingji wiped her face and came out of the curtain, her face slightly pale. She walked to the door and closed the door, and said in a panic, "Lingji didn't want to talk about this......" As she spoke, she glanced at Yun Yuan shyly and timidly, gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, "Since you have asked, Lingji will tell the truth." ”
"Aqiu is not sick. She was scared. ”
"Scare?"
"She went to the market today to buy fabrics for me, and when she came back, she was in a hurry, so she took a small road and returned from the trail, and near the old house on East Street, she saw the troupe that performed yesterday...... They ...... "Lingji's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and her body was as weak as a leaf, and she would fall down at any time, and she frequently looked outside the house, as if she was afraid."
"Miss Lingji, don't be afraid!" Nan Rongpu said at the beginning.
"They ......" Lingji steadied herself, "they actually disappeared out of thin air......"
"Ah Qiu is back...... After saying this, he fainted in fright...... She thought she had fallen into an evil spirit, and she kept babbling in her sleep, and she had nightmares...... Listen......"
The room was suddenly quiet, and only a faint but frightened murmur came from the small bed behind the curtain, "No...... Don't ......"
Nan Rongpu suddenly had goosebumps all over his body.
After getting the news, after the three of them thanked them, the back kitchen didn't care about it, and hurriedly went straight to the side room. grabbed his companion and walked towards the ancient house on East Street in Wuxia Town non-stop.
East Street Ancient House.
It was getting late, and under the moonlight, several figures moved.
"There's nothing unusual here." Nan Rongpu pinched the ember bead at the beginning, and after a nervous investigation, he found that the bead did not move, so he relaxed.
"However, it's quite eerie here...... Bai Yu'er looked around, "There is no one, I always feel that the wind is gusting ......"
"According to what the old man said, this is an abandoned house, and it is rumored to be haunted, so no one will patronize it." Ning Pheasant looked around for a week and didn't find anything unusual.
"Strange, it stands to reason that if there is a demon, the Ember Bead should have reacted a long time ago." Yun Lingxiu frowned, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?" ”
"There is nothing in this courtyard except a well, a few houses." Bai Yu'er raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that those people are really ghosts?" Otherwise, where else can they hide? ”
"Hide?"
"yes, vanishing into thin air...... Aren't you looking for a place to hide? ”
"Well ......" Chu Mo's indifferent eyes stared at the dry well, and everyone looked at it.
Several rooms have been searched, but nothing has been found, and now only this well remains.
"Come here!" At this moment, Yun Ling Xiu called, "This well has an enchantment!"
