At sunset, the surface of the lake shimmers with a jagged glow.

On the glittering waterway, a canopy boat slowly moved forward.

In addition to Xiao Rin and the others, there is also a little boat lady.

The residence arranged by Xun Niang for Ning and Xiao Rin was not far from Su Yi's study. According to this little boat lady, it takes about ten minutes to drive along the shore of the lake in a small boat. The boat left the library by the lake and along the shore of the lake for more than a thousand meters, the boat turned into a narrow waterway.

There are no pavilions on either side of this waterway, and the light that is not dim becomes more and more dim.

Ling Ning, who was sitting in the canopy boat, yawned boredly, and lazily leaned on the little boatlady rowing: "Girl, how long will it take to arrive...... Sleepy. ”

The boatlady rowing for the two was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light blue coat and short skirt, with a delicate and lovely appearance, soft curves and beautiful cheeks, with a gentle charm unique to the water town. When it was messily attached to her, she pouted in displeasure, but did not refute it. She looked around and then at the watch in her hand: "...... Four or five minutes, right?"

Her tone was uncertain, as if even she wasn't convinced.

Seeing Ling Ning frowning, the little boat lady hesitated and explained, "I'm not familiar with the residence that Aunt Xun arranged for you, and I don't often go to places in that area...... Not very impressed. ”

"......" Ning quietly turned her head, she could see that this guy was either a newcomer or a fool~

Xiao Rin looked at the little boat lady who was a little distressed, and whispered comfort: "Don't care about this idiot, you can find it slowly, we are also very idle now, so it's not bad to see the scenery on the lake." ”

"Rin, you're calling me stupid again!"

"Am I wrong?" Xiao Rin grabbed Ling Ning's head with one hand and smiled wickedly: "Since you are so unqualified as a disciple, at least be a qualified sister." As a younger sister, isn't it natural for me to teach me a few lessons?"

Taken by Rin's majesty, Ling Ning could only puff out her cheeks and not speak, and she felt happy for Xiao Rin's sister once again in her heart. It's a shame that her age is much different from Xiao Rin, otherwise she wouldn't be treated as well as she is now.

"That...... It should be almost there!"

Xiao Rin stopped playing with the two of them for a while, and she found that the little boat lady looked at the two of them with envious eyes again, and under this gaze, she felt that she should not be stimulated anymore. After a while, the little boat lady seemed to see a familiar building, and her tone suddenly affirmed a lot: "It will be here in two minutes, and this time it will definitely not be wrong!"

“......”

Xiao Rin, who was sitting on the other end of the awning boat, put his legs in the water and looked into the distance with some distraction. After a few buildings, the study room was no longer visible. Pavilions and corridors everywhere make people sincerely feel a wonderful taste of this water garden. In the distance of several pavilions, there is a place where the green smoke is misty, and from the beginning there is some strange tune that faintly envelops the garden.

It took a long time to come back to her senses, and Rin retracted her gaze and asked behind her, "Do you all have ancestors in your family at night?"

"Yes. Looking in the direction of Rin's finger, the little boat lady showed a smiling face: "According to the testament of the second-generation patriarch, every day the old people of the Su family will go to the ancestral hall to offer incense a quarter of an hour before sunset, and this tradition has passed for hundreds of years now. ”

"In this way, you really respect your ancestors. ”

After a little understanding of the situation, Rin didn't pay too much attention to it, it was normal for these ancient families to have a little tradition of their own, and it was not surprising, and she didn't have the meaning of exploring the deep meaning.

After a short time, the boat stopped in front of a chic pavilion.

After thanking the boat lady, the two walked up to the pavilion.

In the jagged waves, the entire attic is connected with pavilions and corridors around it, and it is established on the water. There is only a staircase on the first floor of the attic, except for a dock where the boat docks, and the second floor is supposed to be a living room, with a pair of antique furniture in the antique room. There was also a four-corner table by the window, on which was a pot of tea still hot.

Looks like someone has just cleaned it up.

Enter the third floor of the pavilion, where you will find the bedroom for two.

Before Xiao Rin and the others arrived, the windows of this room had been opened, and the air in the room would not be dull. Xiao Rin walked to the window and enjoyed the scenery comfortably. As for Ling Ning, this guy had already fallen on the soft bed, rolling lazily.

"Rin, Rin......" wrapped himself in a sheet, and Ling Ning called in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Rin leaned against the window, stroking her hair that had been blown away by the evening breeze.

As the sun set, a thin layer of dark golden light condensed on the tips of Xiao Rin's hair, and a few strands of hair shimmered under the brilliant gold in the breeze. Xiao Rin stretched out his hand to smooth out his messy hair, and there was an indescribable feeling in every move, and his thin body seemed to be charming and sexy. In Ling Ning's eyes, Rin, who was a little immature in appearance, actually revealed a different kind of charm.

It's like a starry star hidden in the dark night sky, and no one knows it. It's like the dazzling Milky Way light belt, no one can reach it. Xiao Rin at this moment is completely different from the impression she usually gives people, it is a deeper charm that precipitates under a thick mystery.

"Rin, I see that you seem to be a little more mature...... Although it's still a baby face~~"

Hearing Ling Ning's words, Xiao Rin's face darkened, and her originally comfortable mood was instantly shattered, she grinned at Ling Ning, and said in a bad tone: "Don't talk nonsense, if you are poor, I won't take you back!" "This guy just owes a lesson!!

Although "......" Ning did not refute, it was not difficult to see her dissatisfaction from the small gesture of pouting.

For this kind of small action, Xiao Rin directly ignored it and returned directly to the original question: "Say it quickly, it's uncomfortable." ”

Ning's expression became serious, and he asked in a low voice, "Rin, are there too few people from the Su family?" There are definitely no more than twenty people we have seen along the way, including those little ghosts." Compared to this big and excessively large forest garden, isn't there a little bit of a crowd here?"

Xiao Rin also noticed this, and she explained to Ling Ning: "This is not unusual, Luo Ya once talked to me about it a long time ago. Don't look at the Su family's garden so big, in fact, the Su family living here is full of more than 200 people. This is still the addition of men, women and children. ”

"Make no mistake, that's why people need to build such a big place? I don't think the houses here are worth it. Ling Ning jumped up from the bed and Ning came to the window, she pointed out the window...... Around the small lake, there are scattered pavilions, each with dozens of rooms. In the darker and darker sky, red lanterns are lit in the antique pavilions.

Ling Ning said very seriously: "Fight local tyrants and divide real estate!"

Xiao Rin looked at her serious appearance and suddenly smiled.

"Don't Rin think it's a waste~"

"It's a waste. Xiao Rin said indifferently, and then explained to her: "Don't look at the Su family now, but the number of people in this family hundreds of years ago was much more than now. At that time, the Su family and some relatives had a total of more than 1,000 people, and it was a famous big family at that time. Now that the family is weakened, there are fewer and fewer descendants. The ups and downs always make people sigh. ”

Ning immediately frowned when she heard this: "Not to mention the expansion of the family, there are actually fewer and fewer people in this family?" I heard Xiao Yin say that there used to be a dead corpse that also made a family disappear, where did it come from......"

Speaking of which, Ling Ning has also been studying with Xiao Rin for a long time, although this guy has never used his heart, but he has also learned a lot about the events that happened in the netherworld. For example, the example in her mouth: a long time ago, there was a Zheng clan in Henan, and the original large family of thousands of people died in just 50 years. More than ten years after the death of the family, a demon exterminator who traveled here dug up a dead body in the main house of the Zheng family, which has become a haunted house.

"Remember what that dead corpse was?" Xiao Rin asked with a smile.

“...... It's been months, who can remember it so clearly!"

Xiao Rin smiled and stretched out his hand to flick on his head, even if Ling Ning had such a strong physique, he covered his head in pain: "I can't think of this, you are really not serious enough...... Also, the dead corpse you're talking about should be 'Domain Rebellion'. There was a grudge before death, and he was buried in the spiritual vein after death, and in a hundred years, the corpse qi infected the spiritual vein, destroying all the feng shui. The most powerful thing is the infestation of the spiritual veins, but the 'Reverse Domain' corpses will suck the bloodline people protected by this feng shui with the support of resentment. Through the connection of the bloodline, the soul of the entire clan is devoured, and finally the cause and effect of the bloodline of the clan are condensed. ”

Rin shook her head in disappointment, and continued: "Strictly speaking, 'Domain Rebellion' has been counted as four generations among zombies, as long as that dead corpse absorbs the spiritual energy of the corpse veins, it can completely break away from the shackles of life and death, regenerate flesh and bones, and condense consciousness with the void. ”

“...... Should I feel sorry for him?" Ning thought about it and nodded decisively: "It's a pity. ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. Rin didn't say anything, no regrets, no joy.

In these matters, the long river of time was not enough to hinder her gaze.

The whole thing started and ended, all the cause and effect, she had already witnessed in the last moment.

"The Su family is not the Zheng family in Henan. It is itself a branch of the ancient Chinese heritage, and its ancestors are famous exorcists, how can ordinary disasters make his people die. ”

"That's right. Ning agreed, but her doubts did not diminish.

The mere cycle of prosperity and decline is not enough to explain this strange phenomenon.

"Okay Ling Ning, we don't need to take care of the Su family's affairs, since they haven't asked outsiders for help, they will definitely deal with it. ”

When he was in Maoshan, Xiao Rin also asked Luo Ya this kind of question, but Luo Ya never answered it positively, just ...... Judging by her face at the time, she should know something.

.........

In the room, Xiao Rin took a volume of "Tai Shi Induction Heart Sutra" from the void from time to time and read it quietly, while Ning nestled in bed and played PSP. She came prepared, and after knowing that this trip would be far, this guy brought all the electronic devices with him: the mobile phone was fully powered, backup power, PSP, MP4, apd, and the small bag was full of these electronic products.

In order to ensure the safety of the battery, Ling Ning also deliberately learned from Xiao Rin the Great Runic Seal [Tree of Life] spell she created.

After that, Ling Ning used the [Tree of Life] talisman to calculate and give birth to a wonderful use, this kind of use is not complicated, and the effect is also very simple, it can only convert any form of power into 220 volts of voltage and current......

Haha, Xiao Rin still appreciates Ling Ning's behavior. This proved that Ling Ning had learned something again, and by now, she had been able to modify the [Tree of Life] spell equivalent to the thirty-three major runes of Maoshan Mountain. Although it was only a small skill for terminal use, in the sense of a higher level, Ling Ning improved.

Thinking like this, Xiao Rin turned around and looked at Ling Ning.

Alas, the progress is not obvious enough. ’

...... Ling Ning is playing a little game called Defend the Radish!

Time passed, the sky was getting dark, and it was already hazy outside the window.

At about ten o'clock, Xunniang sent them a supper.

"The cross-bridge rice noodles that have just come out of the pot, my craftsmanship is not bad~" Smiling confidently, Xun Niang handed the chopsticks into the hands of the two. Because the eldest lady's schedule was irregular, she stayed quietly by her side after the two left, until Su Yi woke up just now.

After Su Yi finished dinner, she brought a supper to the two guests.

"It's so fragrant~~" Looking at the crimson layer of rice noodles, an attractive fragrance came to the face.

"Hurry up and eat it, although it won't be cold, but it's better to eat it early. ”

"I ...... I'll eat it later, and I'll talk about it when I clear this level. Swallowing his saliva, Ning decisively withdrew his gaze and focused on the game in his hand. Silently lit, my heart was a little gloomy. It looks like a tempting food, but it doesn't have much appeal to her.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, she looked like she was greedy when she was eating, but only Ling Ning herself clearly knew that this was just the surface. She is more envious of the act of eating by others than those that are beautifully prepared.

"Eat early, don't play too late. Smiling and reminding, Xun Niang was ready to leave, pointing downstairs: "After eating, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table on the second floor first, and I'll clean it up tomorrow." ”

"Uh-huh," Rin replied, who had already eaten half a bowl, slurred.

"Go to bed early, it might be a bit noisy at night, don't worry too much. Out of the door, Xun Niang reminded.

.........

In the end, the two bowls of cross-bridge rice noodles went into Rin's stomach, and Xiao Rin rubbed his stomach very satisfied.

And Ning could only pull out a bottle of pale red drink from the bag he carried with a bitter face, and drank it in a huff.

"Rin, I'm tired of drinking these flavors, can I get some strawberry milk flavor next time?" After drinking a bottle of apple-flavored drink, Ning pestered Xiao Rin and said, "Make me some milk-flavored next time, I haven't tasted milk for a long, long time." ”

Rin didn't hurry up and picked up a tissue to wipe the grease stains on the corner of his mouth: "That's fine, but my memory has always been not very good, maybe I forgot about it when I took the bowl downstairs...... Heck, that's bad. With that, Rin regretfully picked up the bowl and prepared to go downstairs.

"Don't, don't you just want me to get it for you, can't I go?!"

Ling Ning, who knew a lot about someone's bad character, got out of bed decisively, picked up the bowl and walked downstairs.
