"It's okay, we can look for it elsewhere, after all, Xiangwu hasn't been out of the house before."

The implication of this is that the evidence must also be in the house. Su Mu nodded after hearing this, and said, "Today is the first seven days of Xiangwu, let's go to the small kitchen and prepare something to eat for her later." ”

So I spent the whole morning in the kitchen.

The two sons don't touch the spring water with their ten fingers, and the number of times they go to the kitchen adds up to no more than one slap, and it is already difficult to chop wood and make a fire, let alone stir-fry with a spoon.

Sometimes the oil doesn't boil at all, and sometimes it passes completely. As long as it is a little more complicated, there are four or five times to return to the pot. When a few dishes are fried and put away, the kitchen is as if there is a war.

When the two came out, it was already noon, and the lunch was used in the main courtyard, and at the end they turned in the direction of the west courtyard.

Lin Jian inadvertently turned around, just in time to see Mrs. Su hurriedly walking over, but when she got closer, her face was embarrassed, and she seemed to have something to say.

Su Mu didn't seem to notice it, and still walked forward, Lin Jian secretly pulled someone and smiled at Mrs. Su, "Mother chased it out, is there something to order?"

This elder Xu was ashamed of Xiangling's matter, and caught up with Xiangwu's accident, so a few days have passed, and it seems that it is the first time that they are talking to each other like this. Lin Jian looked at it seriously, and the unnaturalness on Mrs. Su's face became more obvious.

"Today is the seventh day of Xiangwu, and my mother is afraid that you will not do anything, so I remind you to cook a meal in advance and put it away, and when it is night, don't come out."

"Well, it's already ready." Lin Jian nodded hurriedly, but Mrs. Su didn't mean to withdraw, Lin Jian pinched Su Mu's arm in the dark, and motioned for him to say something too. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what Mrs. Su wants to say is obviously not this.

One moment, another moment.

Su Mu didn't speak, so the atmosphere was a little unspeakably embarrassing, Lin Jian had to turn around with a dry smile, "Then let's go back first." ”

"Wait." Mrs. Su was in a hurry, Lin Jian turned back to look, and found that her expression had changed suddenly, a little sneering, and a little flattering, "Amu ......"

Ever since Su Mu was called back from the academy, the mother and son have been a little bit out of touch. Lin Jian knew it, so he had no choice but to push Su Mu now, "Husband, come back to your senses." ”

Fortunately, Su Mu also cooperated, and immediately made the appearance of being interrupted in the middle of the fugue and returning to his senses.

Mrs. Su didn't break it in her eyes, but she didn't have the twist before, "You still have to go to the West Courtyard in the afternoon." Xiangling is pregnant, and I am afraid that she must be careful in what she says and does. ”

"As for your brother, my mother also roughly knew what happened before, and if it became like this, there must be something hidden."

"Okay, my son will pay attention." Su Mu didn't have any extra words, Lin Jian had no choice but to chase after him, "If the husband is measured, mother can rest assured." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Su was going to continue, the two hurriedly greeted each other and walked out, until they reached the small wall of the west courtyard, and then stopped.

"When it comes to pregnancy, my heart is very empty. However, the mother doesn't seem to have much resistance to Xiangling's child, and it sounds okay. ”

Walking a long way against the wind, Lin Jian could hear the trilling sound in his throat, Su Mu didn't say anything about the previous sentence, but helped him pull his collar together.

The two walked all the way inside, and along the way, they also met a family member patrolling nearby.

Here in the West Courtyard, in fact, Lin Jian has not come a lot of times.

In the past, Su Mu always gave him the feeling of having a cold face and an uninhibited smile. In addition, he is in the same academy as Su Lian, so he is naturally closer to him. So I came to my uncle's house ten times, eight times out of ten. Nine will turn here.

But since he passed through the door, he has been separated by a layer of identity, and he has been a little more guarded, speaking of which, the number of times Lin Jian has come here again is almost a handful.

The last time I came in was because of Xiangling, Lin Jian thought of this, so she couldn't help but glance at the courtyard, the place where she was kneeling was still an open space, but she didn't know when she splashed water, and now there was a thin layer of ice under it.

Neither of them looked surprised to see them come in.

Xiang Ling owed a bow to the body, Lin Jian glanced at it and found that she was sitting on a low stool, next to which there were some plain clothes made of paper, not much, but very exquisite.

Somehow, Lin Jian felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, Xiang Ling saw him staring, and hurriedly raised his head, "Today is the first seven of Xiangwu, and the slave and maid plan to take these out and burn them later, so don't look at it." ”

When the four eyes met, they didn't see any panic, Lin Jian suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and turned to greet Su Lian.

In the blink of an eye, the two brothers had already chatted a few words, and although Lin Jian didn't hear it, he could also see some of the meaning of confrontation from the posture of standing and sitting.

Su Lian sat on the side of the bookcase, which was full of spread paper. Most of the regular script on the edge are regular, and the few pages near Su Lian are obviously messed up.

Cursive writing is clean and fast, smart and colorful, and the current place is chaotic and disorganized.

Lin Jian looked at it and had a feeling that it was written when she was deflated when she was a child.

"You're not quiet."

Lin Jian was still in place, but Su Mu opened his mouth.

"How?"

The pen in Su Lian's hand paused, but it was only for a moment. By the time I put pen to paper, it was noticeably better.

"Look at these words, it's all messed up."

Before the ink dried, Su Mu did not shy away from it, and the ink immediately stained his fingertips. The already messy paper is even more unbearable.

"Brother came here today just to teach me how to write?"

The heart that had finally sunk was disturbed again, and Su Lian's attitude changed suddenly. However, compared to the first time I was questioned, it was much better.

Su Mu didn't say anything, just gently pushed Lin Jian, who immediately realized it and beckoned straight to Xiang Ling.

When Xiang Ling got closer, he seemed to point casually, "Xiang Ling, take a look, do you know this word?"

Coincidentally, Su Lian happened to be Sun Yang's "Soma Sutra" right now, so the whole article was full of the word "horse", Xiangling was stunned for a moment, Lin Jian immediately chased after it, and nodded, "Xiangwu also told me before that you have been learning calligraphy, and you are very attentive and hardworking, although you can't easily read the whole book, but it's so simple, you should know it." ”

"Acquaintance." Xiang Ling couldn't move for a while, I don't know if it was an illusion, she even felt a sense of yin wind behind her.

"Let me ask again, around eighteen or nineteen, did you hear Xiangwu mention to you something made of paper, whatever it is?" Su Mu stepped forward to help with the conversation, but there was a sudden "bang" behind him.

Xiang Ling was frightened, and immediately ran towards the door, fortunately, but the wooden door was opened by the wind.

"Nope." When she returned, her face had regained its calm.

Su Lian was stunned for a moment and sat down stupidly, burying his head in getting the pen.

"It's a small thing like closing the door, as long as you do it alone."

Su Mu kindly reminded.

"Oh." Su Lian's hand shook, and the next stroke was crooked, so his face became even more ugly.

"Mother said you should think carefully about the matter with Xiangling."

Lin Jian left this sentence, and the two walked out. There seemed to be footsteps behind him, but no one looked back.

It was strange that the two of them had no ghosts in their hearts, and when the night fell, Su Lin and the others put the food in the courtyard of Xiangwu and ran towards the west courtyard.

At this time, it was the end of the month, and the moon only rose for a short time before dawn, so the whole Su Mansion, except for the place where the lamp illuminated, was completely dark.

Lin Jian hid at the base of the wall, leaning on Su Mu's half body, at first he just grabbed someone's arm, and then he couldn't wait to rub himself into the other party's body.

He tried desperately to hold back his breath, but he could still feel the muffled trill. Although the heat that Su Mu sprayed on his neck was enough to make his heart tremble. But Lin Jian couldn't care about these things.

Because it's not far from the window, there's a good show going on at this time.

White.

Hair.

The howling cold wind seemed to tear the night apart, leaving a ghostly shadow outside the window.

One.

Two.

Three.

Lin Jian tried her best to suppress the trills in her throat, and counted silently in her heart.

"Otherwise, I'll send you back first, and when this side is over, I'll tell you everything that happened."

Su Mu hugged the person tighter, and Lin Jian turned around immediately, but he really couldn't see it really. But he still shook his head, "No need, I'm with you." ”

Not to mention that staying alone in bed at this moment is more frightening, and besides, he must stay here to see what the situation will be in the West Courtyard.

After all, it didn't last too long, Lin Jian came back to his senses again, and he could hear a scream inside.

"Believe, believe?"

It was Su Lian's voice. There were many ghosts outside, and it was his screams that were even more terrifying.

"The slave doesn't know. The slave doesn't know. ”

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Ling's voice also sounded.

Then there was the rattling of bells, mixed together, and the slightest useful thing could not be heard.

Lin Jian was dragged back to the east courtyard until he was pulled, and he only cared about coughing violently for a while.

But he didn't care about this, and his voice was squeezed intermittently, "I...... Ahem, I see, it's faith. Xiangwu her...... She didn't know who had seen the letter with Cousin Lian. ”

Later, the heavier night pressed down, and there was no movement all night, but Lin Jian knew very well that there were some things that could not be hidden.

After last night's experience, the West Courtyard is still very miserable.

When the two entered, Xiangwu didn't know what he was rubbing his head while squatting under the steps, and when he got closer, he found that it was a pool of red blood. It looked a little dazzling on the dusty bricks, and Xiang Ling was holding a rag in his hand, which was also stained with a large amount of blood at this time.

She rubbed hard, and even her shoulders and entire upper body also rose and fell, Lin Jian knew very well that it was just chicken blood found temporarily, but now she was still uncomfortable.

He glanced at Su Mu, who patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything, just motioned to go inside.

Su Lian was still on the side of the bookcase, but yesterday's paper was gone, but it was replaced by a chessboard.

There were black and white chess pieces on it, and Lin Jian stared at it for a moment and was a little dizzy. He doesn't understand this, and when he usually has friends to play against him, he can only sit on the sidelines and act as a dog-headed military advisor.

"Do you think you're a black or a white?"

Su Mu asked this, and Su Lian's arm was sending out, but he stopped at the moment. He was holding a black disc between his fingertips, and now he was almost about to fall, smashing the whole chess game.

The game of one's left and right hands is originally to consider the situation of both sides, and it is an excellent way to calm the mind. This time, however, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"It looks like it's coming to an end." Lin Jian also probed the past, no matter how bad he was, he also knew that the basis for judging the victory or defeat was the number of last survivors. At the moment, although the chessboard is dizzy, it can still be seen which is more and which is less.

The sunspots are not only few, but they are also surrounded by whites, which is already a trend of encirclement.

Su Lian didn't answer, stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally put the one in his hand back into the chessboard, and when the chess pieces collided together, there was a slight sound.

"Brother come here, there must be something to ask."

There was a mess on the bookcase, and Su Lian didn't clean it up. Instead, Su Mu sat down and sat down, "We haven't played together in a while, why don't we take this opportunity to have a game?"

It's obviously a 100,000 urgent matter, but now it doesn't seem to be in a hurry. But Su Mu must have his considerations in this way. Lin Jian also took the opportunity to sit on the side, "Since it's a family playing together, it's not interesting to have a lottery." Rather than winning or losing in one game, the losing side must answer a question from the winning side. ”
