It was late at night, and in the silent courtyard, the only candle flame was flickering, and a hoarse and slow voice could be faintly heard whispering something.

In the room, Qin Shu sat at the table and listened to the old woman for a long time, the candles were from long to short, and the candlelight was from bright to dark. She didn't get tired of it, her expression was as usual, and her eyes were faintly flowing with moonlight.

Suddenly, a light breeze struck, and the faltering candle flame was extinguished in an instant, leaving only the coldness of the moonlight in the whole room.

The old woman looked out the window angrily, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and a streamer flashed on the tree not far away, as if in response to the old woman.

She could only turn back helplessly, and said to Qin Shu with a half-smile: "My old woman doesn't count as soon as she speaks, if it's late today and the candle flame has been extinguished, why don't you go to sleep first." If the girl still wants to hear it, the old woman will continue to talk to you tomorrow. ”

Qin Shu withdrew her gaze from the window, Ying Ying smiled, and said softly: "Then I won't disturb my mother-in-law's rest, this clothes will be placed here first, and it is an honor for the little girl to be my mother-in-law's listener."

Hearing this, the old woman lowered her head, her eyes showed a girlish joy, and the loose flesh at the corners of her mouth rose upward. A man snickered for a while, and was about to raise his head to speak, when he saw Qin Shu already getting up and approaching the inner room.

The old woman raised her hand and said in a loud voice: "Girl, if there is something at night, you can call the old woman at any time, I have always slept lightly!"

After a while, I heard Qin Shu's soft voice coming, "Okay, mother-in-law should go to bed early." ”

In the inner room, Qin Shu was half-sitting on the edge of the bed, her skirt was scattered on the edge of the bed, and some of it fell to the ground, stained with a lot of mud, and the skirt that had been scraped was even more embarrassing.

The night was already deep, but the moonlight was getting brighter and brighter, shining brightly on the clothes on the bed. Qin Shu picked up a shirt, groped carefully, and had a general idea of her identity.

She lowered her head and fell into deep thought, things were far more troublesome than she thought!

The whole world was silent, and the old woman outside seemed to have fallen asleep, and Qin Shu could still hear her breathing from time to time. After sitting quietly for a while, Qin Shu put the purse in her sleeve on the bed.

She couldn't open this purse before, and the two drawstrings on the side seemed to be just decorations, and no matter how hard she tried, she didn't react at all.

As the night fell, Qin Shu's clear eyes drooped like a burden, and her eyes were tired, and this half day seemed like a lifetime to her. Rubbing her eyes gently, Qin Shu put her purse next to the pillow, took off her troublesome coat, and lay flat on the bed.

In modern times, she is also alone, with no family, friends and no friends, so there is no regret. The only thing she can't give up is her tarot cards, which have been with her for more than ten years, from childhood and ignorance to seeing everything.

When she went out that day, her heart began to panic, and she couldn't calm down, but she never thought that it would be a farewell.

Slender fingers caressed the pendant around her neck, the smooth and delicate touch led her drifting thoughts back, what the hell is going on with this pendulum? And the purse, she fumbled around, and there seemed to be a lot of cardboard in it, with the ancient papermaking technology, there was such paper?

With doubts, Qin Shu's eyes slowly closed, she was too tired.

Moonlight refused to let her go, and quietly climbed up her bare arm, which still had scratches from climbing the tree before, and was now scabbed. The small and dense wounds were particularly glaring on the white and snowy arms.

In her sleep, Qin Shu's brows were still frowning, her lips were tightly pursed together, a layer of dense fine sweat was covered on her forehead, and her face was even paler, which made people feel distressed.

The surroundings were all black, and there was no light in sight, and after a while, a gentle but eager voice came, "Shu'er, go away!" This is the order of the piano family, and it cannot be violated! ”

Qin Shu's heart swelled with a sourness, her eyes were sour and unspeakable, she groped in the dark in a panic, trying to find out where the sound was, but there was only darkness in front of her, and there was no hope in sight.

Qin Shu moved towards the source of the sound, the sound was still suddenly in the sky, she looked aimlessly, stretched out her hand and was at a loss, her body trembled, and she couldn't say a word in her mouth.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of soldiers again, and a light suddenly appeared in front of her, and she struggled forward, her legs were already weak and trembling.

This piece of heaven and earth seemed to hear her heart, and the sound of soldiers was getting closer. Knives, swords, guns, spears mingled, and a cruel cold light illuminated the sight in front of them.

In a pool of blood, a woman with disheveled hair fell to the ground, still holding a string of jewels in her hand, the white and flawless jade had been dyed a beautiful red, and at the bottom was a pendant, hexagonal and single-tipped, like the one Qin Shu wore around her neck.

"Tick, tick" blood dripped from the woman's cheek, and the sound seemed to be urging people to get into trouble.

The tears in Qin Shu's eyes instantly surged down, and she ran towards the front even harder, but she couldn't move her hands and feet, and there seemed to be a pair of hands behind her, grabbing her and walking back.

She struggled, but the strength of her hands became heavier and heavier, tightly locking her between her arms, her spirit gradually became trance, the picture in front of her became blurry, and a sense of powerlessness permeated her heart.

"Mother!"

Qin Shu opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes were flustered, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and the tip of her forehead and nose was densely covered with a layer of fine sweat. She sat on the bed, pressed her hand to her heart, beating extremely fast.

Stretching out her hand to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead, Qin Shu put her eyes on the window, and in a dream, the sky had turned bright, and a dawn light lit up in the distance.

I recalled the scene in the dream, but it was pitch black, and nothing else. Qin Shu's eyebrows frowned slightly, she must have dreamed of something! Why can't I remember?

Qin Shu's brows furrowed deeper, her slender and delicate fingers pressed her temples, why did her heart hurt so much? She lifted the futon, inexplicably a little irritable, what is the secret of her body!

Although her heart was already like a mess, Qin Shu still restrained herself and didn't let her emotions explode.

Go to Qin Lou, and her problems will be solved. That was the message she had received from the old woman's words last night.

Qinlou is the first force in Qincheng, but its information network is all over the Southern Dynasties, and all the rivers and lakes are found. Thinking of this, Qin Shu couldn't wait to find Wei Feiyan, she didn't like to know nothing like this.

Qincheng is mixed, and it is also a good place to inquire about the news, so for the sake of prudence, she still decided to go to Qincheng to inquire first. The deep meaning in Wei Feiyan's eyes when she left, Qin Shu saw it all in her eyes, she would not be stupid enough to expose all her hole cards in front of a completely unknown person.

Qin Shu cut through yesterday's clothes with hairpins, simply made a veil, and found a simple plain clothes to change into. The green silk is fixed with a hairpin, leaving a piece of hair like a waterfall, scattered around Yingying's waist.

After tidying up everything, Qin Shu hung the veil on her face, leaving only a pair of eyes, clear as water, not stained with smoke and dust.

It was still early, everyone was still asleep, Qin Shu was alone, walking on the official road The glimmer of the morning light washed away the tiredness in her eyes, and added a bit of holiness to her.

In the farmhouse, a white figure flashed into the house, and the old woman immediately bounced up from the bed, the smile on the corner of her mouth was suppressed, and she said with a serious face, "Why are you here?"

The sound was clear and clean, not at all like the previous hoarse sound!

"If I don't come, the landlord should come." Bai Ying chuckled and sat down on the side. His eyes swept over the room, and he said in disgust: "Your house is really dilapidated!"

The old woman got out of bed, and by the way, she took out a red whip from under the pillow and put it on the table, and the white shadow's body shook slightly, he was not less affected by this whip!

The old woman was obviously very satisfied with Bai Ying's reaction, and said with a smile: "I see that your skin and flesh have been a lot tighter recently, why don't I help you loosen it?" It just so happens that my red flame may not have been on the human body for a long time. ”

"Hehehe" Bai Ying laughed dryly, and said with a smile: "No, why be so angry, you just finished the mission, you should rest and relax, it's better to keep this red flame."

The old woman pinned the whip to her waist, bowed her head in satisfaction, and raised her eyebrows, "Even if you know each other, when will the landlord come?" ”

Listening to the voice of the old woman and girl, and then glimpsing her appearance, Bai Ying only felt that his eyes had been whipped.

"Yueren, you better change your costume back, the landlord will come in a while, you don't look good." Bai Ying knew that the people of Yiyue would not listen to his words, so he had to move out of the landlord to protect his eyes.

"Really?" Yiyueren also looked her outfit up and down, she thought it was very good, and this time the disguise was the most satisfying for her.

However, thinking that the landlord only had beauties and beautiful things in his eyes, Yiyue people still put away their strange thoughts, and said loudly: "Then wait for me to make up, you are so good to stay, don't move!"

Bai Ying lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "I want to move, why can you bear with me!"

When he looked up, he saw Yi Yueren staring at him, his eyes were slightly bent, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and his voice was delicate, "What are you talking about?" ”

Bai Ying shuddered again, and said with a sneer: "You go, I will inform you when the landlord arrives."

"Hmm." Yiyue nodded in response, and no longer bothered with the white shadow, and turned around and walked into the inner room in a dashing manner.

Not long after the Izuki people left, the white shadow's gaze wandered around the room, and a streamer of light caught his attention.

With a wave of one hand, Bai Ying lifted the futon on Yiyueren's bed, and saw the clothes inside, Bai Ying immediately took the clothes in his hand, and looked surprised, "This silk thread is actually the heavenly silk of Lianguo, that is really the eldest lady of the piano family!" It seems that the landlord is too worried. ”

"Why am I so worried?" Bai Ying was still sighing, when he heard a voice as low as jade, and a pressure instantly hit his heart.

He immediately put down the things in his hand, put them away with a gentlemanly temperament, and said respectfully: "See the landlord."

As if hearing the movement outside, the Yiyue people also hurriedly walked out of the inner room, their eyes were like peach blossoms, and their bodies were like the delicate wind of the willows. She leaned lightly, and her tone was respectful with a hint of adoration, "See the landlord." ”

Wei Feiyan's footsteps moved slightly, and he came to Bai Ying's side in a breath, and his eyes that had been slightly drooping looked at the clothes on the table casually, and said regretfully: "It is indeed the heavenly silk of Lianguo, I originally thought that I would go and get some back to make a dress in my spare time, but now I have entered the mouth of Dayue."

"If the landlord wants it, the moon man will pick it up." Yiyueren said proudly, the lotus step moved lightly, standing two feet away from Wei Feiyan, Wei Feiyan didn't like to be close to people.

Wei Feiyan didn't answer Yiyueren's words, but turned to Bai Ying, his thin lips opened lightly, and asked, "Did you find anything last night?"
