"Leshanzhuang" the day before yesterday the porridge relief of the ten-mile pergola is still there, the half-old tables and chairs are placed neatly, and the wipe is very clean, the bluestone road is also carefully swept and sprinkled with water, the afterglow of the sunset is very soft, to the ancient green beast head door cymbals on the black oil gate, cross a thin layer of gold.

It seems that it is no different on weekdays, but a vendor selling lotus root flour dumplings on a cart passes by, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

................... Where did the boisterous people and the boisterous voices go?

The sound of chariots and horses crushing the bluestone pavement and the men driving the cars whipping their horses, the cold noise of more than a dozen servants in front of the door welcoming and sending off guests, the laughter of girls coming from the high courtyard walls, and the sound of Yueqin pipa flute playing Jiangnan songs.

That lively and joyful atmosphere seems to be frozen in the passing streamer for a moment, and there is no way back.

The afterglow grew lighter and lighter, and the spring breeze became cooler, and the vendor shook his head and stepped up his steps, and the mother-in-law of the family was still waiting for the money to buy rice for the pot to live.

A big tiger-skinned cat jumped out of the threshold along the crack in the door, meowing and snorting, and left the corner without looking back.

The door was not bolted, it was opened by the big cat, and then poured into the wind, knocking on the small half of the door with a dumb squeak, bringing people an indescribable sense of sadness.

Although Shen Zetang and the others came for the second time, they also felt that this place was unusual.

They slowly and firmly walked to the threshold, but they stopped, looking inside at the unicorn wall made of Douban Nan, tightly covering the scene inside.

There was not a single servant, and there was no voice.

Shen Huan Shen Rong took the officials around the Zhaobi and went in to explore the road first, but he didn't come out for a long time, Shun Yu's heart suddenly jumped, there was always an ominous premonition, and then looked at Shen Erye, he stood with his hands behind his back, his complexion was calm, and he waited patiently.

Shen Huan walked out of it, he was a rough and straightforward person, he had something in his heart, and he would say it like pouring beans, but at this time, he had a strange face, and he hesitated for a long time before he arched his hand and said: "Second master, let's go in and see it by myself." ”

Shen Zetang said hello, crossed the threshold and bypassed the wall, it was a wide courtyard, the plum blossoms had withered, the trees were pulling branches and sprouts, there were craggy mountains and rocks, and the spring water was flowing, he saw Shun Yu looking around, unconsciously far away from himself, and stretched out his arm to pull her behind him.

Shun Yu glanced at him, blushed, pursed his lips and followed obediently.

Yang Qing looked stunned.

The officials were all waiting at the Yimen, and when they saw them coming, Shen Rong hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a report, Shen Zetang frowned slightly, and walked through the garden to Zhao Qingqing's courtyard.

Shun Yu became more and more frightened, the day before yesterday she was led by the family and took the officials through this gravel road.

At that time, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, there was a mother-in-law sweeping the path on the brush, the maid picked the plum branches with the most flowers, carefully inserted them into the bottle, the gardener was planting trees, the little girl in Tsing Yi ran around, and a crazy woman with hairpins on her head was eating a plate of hot cakes in the sun.

Shun Yu finally knew why his heart was always worried, it turned out that there was no one here except them, but the strange thing was that the mother-in-law's broom was carefully leaning against the trunk of the tree, the bottle with plum branches was placed on the side of the road, the pomegranate sapling was cultivating the soil, the Tsing Yi boy's shoe fell off, and the hot cake in the dish was put down after biting it.

It seems that after they left "Leshanzhuang" that day, the people here also left suddenly.

And in a hurry, he put down what he was doing and fled in a hurry.

Now this is a deserted garden, and only Spring has not abandoned this place.

..............

Shun Yu found that in the courtyard of the house, the large screen of the carved gold eight treasures was lonely on the porch, she tugged on the sleeve of Shen Erye's coat, and pouted at that place.

Second Master Shen slowed down, looked at her, and then looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Like it?" ”

Shun Yu nodded fiercely, looking at him with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

Second Master Shen hummed and said no more.

Shun Yu had to look back as she walked, her heart was empty, there was a kind of beloved thing she once had, and she could never find it back in this life.

to Zhao Qingqing's "Qingyun Pavilion", but when he saw that the door was wide open, Shen Huan was already waiting in the courtyard, and when he saw Shen Erye waiting for a few people, he greeted him and said: "Lord Zhao and his wife are in the room." “

Yang Qing's face was happy, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that they are here." “

Flicking his sleeves and hurriedly walking towards the room, Second Master Shen couldn't help but smile: "Lord Yang, it's better to wait for me to go in together." “

Yang Qing waved his hand and said loudly: "This village is full of strangeness, I want to ask him for a clear ........" Before he could finish speaking, he opened the curtain and entered.

Shen Erye and Shun Yu approached the front of the corridor when they saw the curtain slam open, and Yang Qinghuo ran out with a burning buttocks, his face was as earthy as he could speak.

Shun Yu poked Shen Huan's arm: "Didn't you say that Lord Zhao and his wife were inside?" How did he look like this, as if he had seen a ghost? “

Shen Huan's thick eyebrows were raised, and he said with a suppressed smile: "I haven't typed half a word, Lord Zhao and his wife are indeed inside, it's just ....... He's dead. “

"Dead?" Shun Yu was shocked, and before he could say more, the guards had already opened the curtain, and Shen Erye took the lead in entering the room.

No wonder Yang Qing will be bluffed into this way, even if he is brave and fat at first sight, his heart will tremble.

But seeing Zhao Shoushan sitting in the Huanghuali official hat chair, propped up on the chair handle with one hand to support his cheeks, and holding the book in the other, as if he was asleep after looking at it, he was too thin, and he became more shriveled and short because of death.

When you get closer, you will find that in addition to the bleeding from the seven orifices, his face is blue, his lips are blue, his skin is blue, and even his nails are blue.

Shen Zetang looked at it for a long time, walked to the bed, the big red brocade tent was gently closed, he raised his hand and lifted half of it, there was a woman lying upright on the bed, the big red mattress was covered with chest, she held her hair in a bun, five or six withered plum blossoms on her sideburns, her face was powdered, her complexion looked ruddy, as if she was dreaming something, and even her chest seemed to be slightly undulating.

Shen Zetang stared at the big red mattress with heavy eyes, there were no wrinkles in the box, and the corners were carefully tucked up, showing how careful and cautious the person who served this lady was.

He asked Shun Yu to retreat to the window, and then called Shen Huan and Shen Ronglai, I don't know what to whisper, the corners of his lips were pursed, his face was solemn, Shen Huan held the bronze sword, and Shen Rong held the Qianniu knife.

Shun Yu leaned against the window to watch their actions, heard the curtains fluttering, and raised his eyes to see that it was Yang Qing who walked in, he had already regained his composure, and walked towards Shen Zetang.

Shun Yu always had a strange feeling, she subconsciously caught up with Yang Qing in three or two steps, grabbed his sleeve tightly, Yang Qing looked back at her strangely: "What do you do if you hold me, I have something to .......say to Lord Shen." “

At this point, Shun Yu saw that Shen Erye was holding the corner of the mattress and opened it violently, but when he saw the red waves rolling, a big snake coiled on the woman's chest with a thick mouth of the blue and quiet bowl rushed towards Shen Zetang's door as fast as lightning.
