Chapter Ninety-Six
Seeing that Yuan Cheng had been staring at him, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Chu Yi asked.
Yuan Cheng cleared his throat and said, "You look good." ”
"He's been lonely for a long time, and his brain isn't very good." Liyan explained.
Chu Yi nodded suspiciously.
"Okay, let's all go and rest, let's go to Liuzhou early tomorrow morning."
"Liuzhou?" Chu Yi was surprised.
"Questions?"
Chu Yi looked at Liyan, thought for a moment, and said, "No problem." ”
"Then have a good rest, and we'll go buy horses early tomorrow morning." After a pause, he said again: "By the way, the money to buy the horse should also be your own." ”
“…… I know. ”
Early the next morning, Liyan really bought a horse and came back. By the way, she also brought back a message about the Feng family. Cui committed suicide in prison last night, but was found by the jailer and rescued. Later, he was taken back to his home by Mrs. Feng.
"It's not lawful, isn't it?" Chu Yi said.
"yes, though, it's their family business."
"You...... Don't plan to care? ”
"What can I do, arrest Cui Shi in prison, or poison her?"
Chu Yi suddenly had nothing to say.
"So, don't you care about the living?"
Liyan frowned, why didn't she care, but she let the Liang family meet with Feng Changbai's mother and daughter, and let them untie the knot.
"The living have their own law to govern, but I can't control it."
Chu Yi frowned and looked at Liyan, he found that he had nothing to say again.
"Alright, don't talk anymore, we're still on our way."
"I ask one last question, what are we going to do in such a hurry?"
Li Yan turned his head to look at him and said seriously: "Let's go to find someone, it's too late, that person may be gone." ”
"What are you looking for him to do?"
"One last question."
Chu Yi bowed his head and said, "I know, let's hurry." ”
The three of them hurried on a starry night, but were trapped in Ping'an Town by a heavy rain.
Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Liyan rubbed his temples to calm himself down as much as possible. It's the weather, not the people, and she can't be angry.
"With such heavy rain, the person you are looking for should not leave, we still have time." Chu Yi comforted and said.
Liyan thought to himself, maybe they would have left a long time ago. However, she didn't say it. She also pointed to him to help her deal with Chaoyue, but she couldn't offend him at this time.
"Well, you're right. That way, we won't have to leave too early tomorrow morning. "I said nothing.
"Uh, okay."
Subsequently, Xiao Er brought the meal.
After the three of them finished eating silently, they drove Chu Yi and Xuan Nian to rest. She released Yuan Cheng.
"Huh? What about Chu Yi? ”
Liyan said helplessly: "Can you not care about him so much?" ”
"He's a living relative of the Imperial Family, if we stay with him, will he be able to take us to the palace?"
"You ghost, what are you doing in the palace?"
Yuan Cheng said excitedly: "That's the palace, I didn't go there when I was alive." I'm dead now, but I feel like I'm going there once. ”
"I don't know if he will take us to the palace, but if he finds out and we already know his identity, it will definitely not be possible."
"If you don't say it, I won't say it. How could he possibly know? ”
Li Yan glanced at him and said, "Just look at his eyes, a fool also knows that there is a cat in it." He just hasn't figured it out yet, and if you continue, he'll definitely understand. ”
"I ...... I" Yuan Cheng knows that he is really not very good at lying, no, compared to Liyan, he is not very good at all, he is not very good at all.
"Then we'll tell him, hide it from him, and he will find out one day."
"There's no hurry."
Looking at Liyan's expression, Yuan Cheng suddenly understood her thoughts.
"Do you want to...... Take advantage of him, right? ”
"I'm still thinking about it."
Yuan Cheng was seriously entangled, he really wanted to go to the palace, but he also wanted to achieve his goal. If Liyan really decided to take advantage of that guy, then he would definitely not take them to the palace.
"Why don't you use him when he takes us to the palace?" Yuan Cheng suggested in a low voice.
"It's not that far, you're thinking too much."
Yuan Cheng was happy in his heart, that is, they could still go to the palace.
"Okay, I see, I won't look at him again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck, lighting up the night sky.
"You rest early, I'll go back first." After that, without waiting for anything to be said, he dodged back to the small wooden box.
He's a ghost, so it's not surprising that he's afraid of thunder.
The thunder came quickly, and Li Yan turned his head to look out the window and sighed slightly. If that person really has left Liuzhou, it can only be said that this is the will of heaven.
This night, Liyan didn't sleep peacefully. In her dreams, she felt that many people were looking at her. When I asked them, they didn't say a word, just stared at her silently.
When she woke up, she couldn't forget the resentful eyes of those people staring at her in her dream. This made her wonder what she had done in the past to offend so many people.
But when I think about it, I don't remember that she once offended so many people.
Could it be that these were done during the ten days she lost consciousness?
There was a knock on the door, interrupting the thoughts.
“…… It's time for breakfast. Xuan Nian said.
"Well, I'll go down now."
After the rain, the sky is clear, and the air is exceptionally refreshing.
At breakfast, Liyan took the opportunity to inquire and finally relieved after making sure that there was no blockage on the road ahead.
"Have you heard, the crazy daughter of the Hu family is gone." The middle-aged man next to him said to the person at the table.
The tablemate sympathized: "With such a heavy rain last night, she is afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”
"Who said it wasn't, that kid was also pitiful, dumb, and crazy again. The Hu family is still looking for it everywhere. It rained so hard last night, and I don't know where she can go? The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Qi looked at Liyan, his eyes full of curiosity.
Liyan warned it with his eyes not to speak.
When they got out of the inn, Xiao Qi couldn't wait to ask, "What is a dumb man?" ”
"It's just someone who can't speak."
"Why can't you speak?"
"There are many reasons for this, it may be innate, or it may be something that happens later in the day, causing the vocal cords to be damaged and unable to speak." Let's look for books
Xiao Qi was surprised: "You know so much. ”
"Well, so you'll have to study hard in the future."
Xiao Qi nodded seriously and agreed.
Out of the town, several people were getting ready to get on their horses.
Liyan was attracted by the broken temple on the side, to be precise, it was the coughing sound in the broken temple.
Xuan Nian also heard it, and he turned his head to look at Liyan.
Chu Yi looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we leaving?" ”
Xiao Qi on Xuan Nian's shoulder also looked at the broken temple and asked, "There are people in there, right?" ”
After a battle between the heavens and the people, he finally led everyone into the ruined temple. She's been delayed for so long, and she doesn't care about this time.
The already dilapidated temple was even more unbearable after the heavy rain.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, and some of the wood had been washed away by the heavy rain and lay across the road.
The roof of the house is also in tatters, and Liyan shook his head, it is not a wise choice to hide from the rain here. Hopefully, they'll come just in time and the man hasn't frozen to death.
Li Yan soon found a girl in the corner of the main hall who was shivering and coughing, dressed in azure clothes. Her clothes and hair were soaked, and it was clear that she had been here when it rained heavily last night.
Li Yan carefully observed her surroundings, if there was a ghostly aura, she should not be mistaken.
This reminded Liyan of what the previous diner said, could she be the daughter of the Hu family.
"You...... Are you okay? Liyan asked softly.
When the man heard this, he raised his head, his face flushed with an abnormal red, and he should be feverish.
After seeing the three of them, she was frightened and shrank back suddenly. But behind him is the wall, and there is no way to retreat.
"We're passing by, we won't hurt you, don't worry." Liyan continued to speak to her softly.
The girl still looked at her warily, and did not speak.
"Girl, are you surnamed Hu?" Liyan asked tentatively.
Who knows, when she heard this word, she was really excited.
Li Yan sighed in her heart, it seems that God really doesn't want her to find the Soul Suppression Bead so quickly.
"We've heard a few things about you in town, and your family is looking for you. We can send you back. ”
But as if she had heard something terrible, she shook her head desperately, saying that she did not want to go home.
Li Yan thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem that he had heard that someone in the Hu family had died. So where did the ghost energy on her body come from, and why was she so afraid to go home?
"You don't want to go back, that's okay. But let's find a place to change your clothes first, shall we? If you continue to wear wet clothes, you will get sick. ”
Liyan's persuasion was completely useless, and she didn't want to leave the ruined temple anyway.
However, in the end, she fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion.
Liyan found a blanket and asked Xuan Nian to wrap the person.
"Let's go, let's go back."
They first took someone to see the doctor, and then asked where the Xia Hu family lived and how the girl was crazy.
It turned out that the girl's name was Hu Juan, the second daughter of the owner of the pork shop on East Street, and she also had an older brother and sister. My brother is married, my sister is married, and she will be married soon.
Five days ago, her sister-in-law's maiden brother Liu Cunwen came to see her sister who was about to give birth. As a result, the next evening, he died by the river. After that day, Hu Juan went crazy. Some people in the town said that she was frightened because she saw Liu Cunwen's body.
"How did the man die?" Liyan asked.
The doctor glanced at Liyan strangely, and Liyan hurriedly explained: "I'm going to write a detective drama next, ask about it, so that it can be used as a reference." ”
Chu Yi looked at the serious resignation, and he couldn't help but wonder if she was really preparing for such a play.
"Those who were stoned to death, I heard, their heads were going to be smashed. I don't know who has such a big grudge against him. ”
Li Yan immediately understood that the murderer had not yet been arrested.
"Hasn't the murderer been caught yet?" Chu Yi asked.
The old doctor shook his head and said, "No." ”
As he spoke, the old doctor also wrote down the prescription.
"When you get back, make sure to change her wet clothes right away. Take another hot shower, remember? ”
Liyan bowed his head and said, "Remember, thank you, doctor." ”
"Well, let's get the medicine and go quickly."
The door of the Hu family's pork shop was still open, and there was only a chubby middle-aged man.
"Hello, is it Miss Hu Qian's father? We sent Miss Hu Qian back. ”
Butcher Hu looked up at Liyan, who pointed to the person wrapped in a blanket in Xuan Nian's hand.
The middle-aged man immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Yong damn, Qianqian is back." ”
In a few moments, a woman opened the curtain and came out.
Seeing Hu Qian in Xuan Nian's hand, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"Miss Hu's clothes are still wet, it's better to ......"
"This way, this way." The woman hurriedly greeted them.
So, they took Hu Qian into her room.
Then, with the help of Liyan and the woman, she was given a clean dress.
Li Yan carefully looked at Hu Qian's room, there was also a ghost aura in it, and it was even stronger than the one on her body. It looked like the ghost had been following her. Could it be that she went to the temple to avoid ghosts?
"Thank you girl, I don't know the girl's surname?"
"My name is Liyan, you don't have to be polite."
"Where did Miss Li find out about my family?" The woman asked.
"In a ruined temple outside town."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Hu Qian on the bed, her eyes full of melancholy.
"Does Madame know why Miss Hu went to the temple?" Liyan asked.
"The girl doesn't have to call me Mrs., just call me Sister-in-law Hu." She sighed heavily and said, "My daughter is timid and can't speak. I saw something I shouldn't have seen that day, and I was scared. She's been crazy ever since, and I was thinking I'd find someone to check it out. But this person has not been found, and she has run away first. Fortunately, she met a girl, and if she hadn't met her, people wouldn't know where to find it. ”
Sister-in-law Hu obviously didn't know anything, and she thought that she could only wait for Hu Qian to wake up before she could know what was going on.
"Grandma, grandma, is the little aunt back? Let me ask. ”
"Rui Rui come in, it's your little aunt who is back."
A short time later, a girl with a double bun entered the house.
The child looked at Liyan curiously, then looked at Hu Qian on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, why is my little aunt's face so red, is she sick?" ”
"Yes, your little aunt is sick. However, don't tell your mother, just tell her that your little aunt is back, okay? ”
"Well, grandma, I won't tell my mother." The little girl said seriously.
Sister-in-law Hu touched her head and said, "Good boy, go ahead." ”
The child left Hu Qian's bedroom lightly.
"Brother, can I touch it?" She stared at Xiao Qi on Xuan Nian's shoulder, and said expectantly.
Xuan Nian glanced at Xiao Qi and saw that there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, so he carefully hugged it down.
The child slowly put his little hand on Xiao Qi's back, and his face showed a satisfied expression.
"Thank you, brother." With that, she smiled and ran away.
