"Phew!"

Yun Ximian woke up with a horse bark, due to the sudden braking, Yun Ximian fell forward, fortunately, Chu Ziqing grabbed her wrist quickly, so that she did not have close contact with the floor.

"What's going on?!" Yun Ximian patted his chest and gasped for breath with palpitations, and pulled up the curtain to ask about the groom.

The groom said embarrassedly: "Hualu Ma is too tired and reluctant to go, it's all because we usually raise it too delicate, please forgive me!" ”

The groom said here, and the other two deer horses sat silently cross-legged on the ground, looking fearless.

Yun Ximian: "......"

Forget it, what's the deal with two horses? Yun Ximian shook his head and said, "It's okay, then let's find an inn to live in first." "The town isn't far from here anyway.

"Howler!" The groom replied with an accent.

Hualuma seemed to understand the meaning of the two people's words, stretched out his legs and stood up, the groom led the deer horse, but it refused to run any further, and the groom had no choice but to let it sway slowly and slowly to the town.

At this time, it was not too late, the sky had just darkened, and every house was lit up, and the groom casually found an inn and took the deer and horses to rest first.

"Three rooms." Yun Ximian said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took his eyes off the abacus, and when he saw Yun Ximian's valuable clothes, his eyes immediately lit up, revealing his gold-encrusted teeth and flattering: "Okay, okay, does the son still need other services?" ”

"Other services, what services?" Could it be that there is also a late-night snack service? Yun Ximian came to be interested.

The shopkeeper's eyebrows and eyes gestured: "I am familiar with the proprietress of Yihong Courtyard next door, if the son needs it......"

Yun Ximian didn't hear clearly, she was carried upstairs by Chu Ziqing, Yun Ximian looked confused, she didn't figure out what the situation was now!

"Uncle Shi, it's not early, let's wash and sleep early." Chu Ziqing glanced at the shopkeeper, who felt as if he was being targeted by a wild wolf, so he trembled in fright and shrank under the counter as a turtle.

"Oh, okay." Yun Ximian didn't think about it so much, but thought that Chu Ziqing was tired of hurrying, and agreed.

Yun Ximian and Chu Ziqing went back to their rooms, I don't know how long it was, Yun Ximian woke up from meditation, looking at the sky outside the window, it should have only been an hour, it was almost half past two in the middle of the night, thinking that now that there is no one downstairs, she can still go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

As long as he thought of those fragrant snacks in modern times, Yun Ximian felt that his stomach was beating a drum.

There was no light downstairs, Yun Ximian groped against the wall to the kitchen, only to find that there was already one more person in the kitchen, and an inconspicuous candle was lit in the kitchen, illuminating the inn junior who was nibbling on buns.

"Huh? Are you here to eat, too! Xiao Er was stunned when he saw Yun Ximian for a moment, and suddenly said, "I still have two buns here, do you want to eat them?"

Yun Ximian saw that Xiao Er ate so deliciously and nodded.

Xiao Er smiled and showed eight big white teeth, the pair of thin skin and tender hands handed over two fragrant buns, Yun Ximian's gaze stayed on her hand for a second, and then immediately took over the buns, this Xiao Er is also a woman dressed as a man, it is too obvious, right?

After eating the buns wordlessly, Yun Ximian was completely sleepy, thinking that there was nothing to do, and it was good to go for a walk on the street, just stood up and walked towards the gate, Xiao Er suddenly grabbed her wrist, Yun Ximian subconsciously shook it off, Xiao Er didn't care, grabbed his hair and said, "Are you going out?" I advise you not to go out on such a big night, and beware of being haunted by ghosts! ”

"Haunted by ghosts? How so? "Sure enough, it's ancient, and you still believe in ghosts and gods. Yun Ximian, a person from modern times, was not only not afraid, but even became interested.

Xiao Er looked left and right, and found that no one else was there, so he leaned over and whispered: "It's the Chu family that was wiped out more than ten years ago, the people who went out in the middle of the night before were found dead on the street by others the next day, and what is even more strange is that they don't have the slightest wound on their bodies, but their faces are pale, and they look like a dead man alive, and the messenger of the river god told us that the Chu family who was destroyed is too resentful, and we need to pay tribute to the river god every six months, so as to protect the lives of the rest of us!" ”

The Chu family? Yun Ximian frowned slightly and asked, "What are you talking about the River God Emissary?" ”

"The River God Emissary is not a thing! He is the messenger of the river god in the world! Xiao Er's tone couldn't help but get a little louder, but he was afraid of something, his voice gradually declined, and he said carefully: "I think the river god messenger is very gentle, but Aunt Li just said that the river god messenger killed her husband, it's really inexplicable!" ”

Yun Ximian knew that there was a story in it as soon as he heard it, and he was not in a hurry to go out, so he sat back down and listened to Xiao Er talk about what happened in their town.

"Her husband?"

"That's right, it's Li Dazhuang who died on the street before, I heard that he wanted to go to the mountains in the middle of the night to chop some firewood for the next day, who knew that he would die as soon as he went out, you didn't see Aunt Li crying like that, it's really pitiful, but even if she is pitiful, she can't blame the river god messenger! Everyone said that Aunt Li was crazy, and everyone said that it was the messenger of the river god who killed her husband. Xiao Er shook his head and said.

"That's pathetic." Yun Ximian nodded sympathetically, but he couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart, the rumors were groundless, but not all of them couldn't be believed.

"What about you, why do you want to dress up as a man?" Yun Ximian spoke, his voice tight and elegant, as if with a little smile.

"Huh? How do you know? Xiao Er was surprised, but when he saw Yun Ximian's expression that seemed to be smiling, he suddenly felt excited, completely wilted, and said depressedly: "I think I pretend to be a boy and pretend to be quite similar, why do you recognize it at once?" ”

Yun Ximian knocked Xiao Er's head funny: "Where is there a Xiao Er who does hard work will have a pair of slender jade hands with fine skin and tender meat!" ”

"Really!" Xiao Er suddenly realized, looked down at his hands, and pondered for a moment.

"What's your name?" Yun Ximian asked.

"Meng Zilin, Wang Shuangmu's Lin!" Speaking of his name, Meng Zilin squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Meng Zilin, a nice name." Yun Ximian also smiled lightly, simple children always made her love.

"Right? This is my mother's name! Meng Zilin heard Yun Ximian's praise and said happily.

"Then your mother must be a very gentle person." Yun Ximian was full of emotion, her relationship with her mother is neither good nor bad, her mother is busy with work and rarely cares about her, even if she goes to school on weekdays, even her mother has to rush to film on holidays, and she has no time to take care of her.

Meng Zilin finally met someone who could talk, that mouth was like a little sparrow chirping and not listening, Yun Ximian nodded and responded, and when Meng Zilin said that he was a little thirsty to drink water, Yun Ximian finally asked, "Do you know where the Chu family is?"

————————————

The Chu family is located in a remote alley in Yangxu Town, because this road has been scrapped a long time ago, and the road is full of layers of dust and fallen leaves, Yun Ximian has to carefully avoid the cobwebs above his head, and finally arrived at the gate of the Chu family after a lot of hardships.

On the vicissitudes of life, the old plaque is desolately engraved with two words - Chu Mansion.

The door was already broken, Yun Ximian just gently pushed the door frame, and most of the wooden door was broken, and all the debris was full of small holes eaten by insects.

The courtyard is still desolate, and you can see black-brown blood stains after walking a few steps on the ground, and a large area of blood stains makes Yun Ximian's head a little dizzy, how many people have killed to have so much blood?

Yun Ximian calmed down, carefully bypassed the courtyard, passed through the second layer of gates, there were many scattered houses in the wide perspective, Yun Ximian paused, and walked towards the nearest house here, in case something happened, it would be convenient for her to escape.

Fortunately, Yun Ximian's crow's mouth did not come true this time, and when he walked into the house, except for the dust generated by opening the door, Yun Ximian choked a few times, and there was no other unlucky thing.

"Spiritual Position...... This is an ancestral hall?" Yun Ximian took a closer look, it turned out that this was an ancestral hall dedicated to the spiritual seat, and the one on top was also surnamed Chu.

There is a table under the spiritual seat, there is an old book on the table, Yun Ximian opened the book and looked at it, and found that the name of the Chu family was recorded in it, Yun Ximian looked very carefully, she thought that she should be able to find Chu Ziqing's name in it, sure enough, on the last page of this book, the penultimate name is Chu Ziqing's name, and after him there is a name called Chu Ziyan.

Chu Ziyan...... It must be his sister. Yun Ximian remembered the innocent little girl in the description, frowned and sighed, and put the notebook back in his hand.

In addition, there is a white porcelain plate at the bottom of the agarwood seat on the table, the two things are connected together, there seems to be something engraved on the front of the agarwood seat, Yun Ximian wiped it with his hand, and the words on it finally revealed its true face - Luo Shen Zhu!

"Bang dang!" Yun Ximian was so frightened that he stepped back, and his panicked sleeve accidentally knocked down the bottom of the agarwood seat, and the porcelain plate fell to the ground and split into pieces, revealing a note at the bottom of the plate.

Yun Ximian hadn't recovered from the blow of this news, looked at the note, hesitated for a moment and picked it up, and opened the note a few times to see the contents:

Light worry, my mother hopes that you will not be blinded by hatred, do not avenge us, and live well.

The word is Juan Xiu's small letters, but Yun Ximian saw a woman's tenacity in it.

Who is this man called Light Sorrow?

Yun Ximian then walked around it again, I have to say that the pattern of the Chu family is still very large, although it is a little smaller than the Purple Emperor, but no matter how you look at it, it is also a big family, Yun Ximian took almost an hour to finish all the rooms.
