Last night it rained the first heavy rain of autumn, and by the time the rain stopped, there was already deep water on the ground, and it had dried out a lot during the day, but there were still deep and shallow puddles.

It was dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, Dong Manman's little man jumped around in order to avoid puddles, pulled the hem of his clothes for fear of falling into the water, and held a small orange lamp the size of a fist, walking very unsteadily, and almost fell down several times.

"Give."

Yuan Jiyue smiled for a long time, stopped, and handed him her hand: "I'll hold you." ”

She was kind-hearted, but Dong Manman was startled by her suddenly stretched out hand, and retreated again and again, slipping under her feet, which was stable. He refused, "Thank you Immortal Master, but I can go well myself." ”

Does he seem to be able to walk?

Yuan Jiyue couldn't cry or laugh, not understanding what he was insisting on.

After walking for two steps, he knelt for so many days, his sore legs, and his swollen eyes couldn't hold on for him, seeing that he stepped on the moss and was about to slip, he was quickly supported by Yuan Jiyue's eyes, and he didn't ask him anymore, and directly supported his waist and hugged the person.

The little one is hugged in the crook of the arm, very relaxed. She coaxed the crying little master and nephew in Wangshuzong, and also hugged them to play, this action is extremely familiar.

Dong Manman subconsciously hugged her neck, and the whole person froze, making Yuan Jiyue suspect that she was holding a stone. She reassured: "Don't be afraid, my sister won't fall you." Don't say it's you, I have a fat nephew, and I carried him up and down the mountain once. ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of falling!"

"What are you afraid of? With me in your arms, you can walk faster, aren't you worried about your big brother? ”

Dong Manman blinked at her: "Didn't the immortal master find out?" ”

Yuan Jiyue was confused: "What did you find?" ”

Dong Manman shook his head, rubbed his head on her shoulder, and didn't speak again.

He was indeed sleepy.

didn't wait for his answer, and Yuan Jiyue didn't care.

Dong Mansion is located in the sixteenth household of Red Sleeve Street, which is a boxy mansion. It can be seen that the usual cleaning people are very careful, there is no water in front of the door, the dark red door and the knocker made of copper have no signs of fading, the door is open at the moment, and there is an old man with gray hair and about fifty years old anxiously circling in front of the house.

On the way, Dong Manman's upper eyelids and lower eyelids kept fighting, but he remembered that his family had been refusing to sleep, and he couldn't sleep either, Yuan Jiyue came to Luoyang City for the first time, and many roads were not familiar, and he had to show her the way in a daze.

When he saw the old man from afar, Dong Manman shouted: "Uncle Liu! ”

"Little master!"

Yuan Jiyue put him down at the door and saw him pounce on this Uncle Liu. Turning to look around, I found a strange place at a glance, there were two large stone lions at the door to ward off evil spirits, the part of their mouths was smashed, and the two stone balls in their mouths were lost.

Any demon or monster can swing into it in a dignified manner.

"The little master is back!" Dong Manman asked the person who delivered the message to come back and said that he would go home tonight, and he waited at the door when he got the news, which can be regarded as waiting for the person to come back.

"Man Man is back, Uncle Liu is not afraid!"

Liu Bo praised him repeatedly.

Dong Manman raised his face from his arms and introduced Yuan Jiyue to him: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to use it when I come back, so I want to invite the master to come, but the master is not at home, so I met the Yuan Immortal Master, the immortal master is the high priest's uncle, and the mana is amazing!" ”

"There is Lao Xianshi and the little young master on this trip, the little one's surname is Liu, and he is the housekeeper in the house." When he heard this, he bowed respectfully. Greet the distinguished guests in the house, "It's cold at night, don't stand outside, the house has prepared a hot meal, and when the two of you are seated, you can start the banquet, drink a cup of freshly hot tea, warm your body." ”

Uncle Liu hurriedly let them into the mansion, and when he entered the mansion, he was embarrassed again: "I just didn't know that the immortal master was coming in advance, and I didn't prepare well." ”

Yuan Jiyue smiled: "It's good to be able to take one with me, I don't even bring chopsticks for a meal." ”

"The immortal master is really good at laughing."

She didn't have time to laugh with Uncle Liu.

She watched all the way.

In addition to the two stone lions, the house is also very strange, now every household has asked for a lot of useful things to do not work, the small door must be pasted with talisman paper to hang wooden signs, there is no one in the Dong Mansion. Entering the door across the courtyard, there must be a charm to correct feng shui, not that it was not pasted, but it was torn, and there were traces of it if it was not torn clean.

"The food is warm in the kitchen, so let the girls serve." Uncle Liu led people to the warm pavilion and arranged for Yuan Jiyue to sit down at the round table, "The eldest young master doesn't know that the little young master is back, the immortal master and the little young master sit first, I'll go and invite the eldest young master to come!" ”

The warm pavilion is the most tightly sealed place in the house, and the windows are closed so that no wind can blow in. In August, the people of the Dong Mansion had already eaten in the warm pavilion, which was really strange, and two pots of charcoal were placed on the table, which burned hot in the warm pavilion. Yuan Jiyue felt the heat as soon as she came in, and when she sat down, she raised her hand to take off her cloak.

Dong Manman also wore one on his body, and when he heard Uncle Liu's words, he didn't sit on the stool, and took the initiative to call someone for Uncle Liu.

They have such a good relationship as brothers.

As soon as Yuan Jiyue untied the tie, she couldn't see his figure anymore.

"Tea, please."

There was no need to call Dong Yuanyuan, Uncle Liu stayed, he took Yuan Jiyue's clothes and handed them to the girl to put them away, and served her tea.

The people in the kitchen have been waiting, and they began to serve the dishes after receiving the order, and the girls and boys rushed in with the vegetables and fish, and Uncle Liu instructed them to set the plates, and did not forget to greet Yuan Jiyue: "What kind of dishes does the fairy master like?" Now let them do a few more! ”

"Don't bother, I love it." Yuan Jiyue held the tea in her hand, lifted the lid and skimmed the tea foam, blew two sips but didn't drink it, she can't drink hot tea now, "I heard the little boy say that there is an abnormality in the house, I don't know who touched it, Uncle Liu knows?" ”

When he mentioned this, Uncle Liu was scared, and his hand on the plate trembled, so he almost didn't spill the soup. He hurriedly put the plate on the table, opened his mouth and said, "It's me, it's me who touched it!" Just three days ago, on the night of the previous day, our eldest young master has always been in poor health, and he can usually sleep for seven or eight hours, and sometimes he can sleep for a whole day! ”

His tone was heavy: "I slept day and night upside down, that day he slept for a day, I estimated that the young master should wake up in the middle of the night, so I brought some food from the kitchen and sent it, and, then..." recalled that time, his cold hair stood on end, "As soon as I entered the young master's courtyard, I saw a person standing in front of the young master's door, with his hair scattered and wearing a red dress, I thought it was a girl, I called her, and in the blink of an eye, the person was gone, and the speed was fast, I could only see a black shadow flashing past!" Certainly not from our house! ”

In the middle of the night, an unknown person wanted to break into his young master's door, and ran at a speed that ordinary people couldn't reach, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, he was scared into a cold sweat, he didn't care about the soup in his hand, and immediately ran in!

"If she hadn't found out, she'd been in! That's not it, the young master! He concluded, "I can see clearly, that figure is a woman!" ”

The hairpin in Yuan Jiyue's arms can also prove to be a woman.

"A female zombie, to be exact."

Corpse?

Uncle Liu stood directly opposite Yuan Jiyue, he looked up suspiciously, and faced Yuan Jiyue's face.

He stared at her stunned, two words rushed to his mouth, he couldn't spit out and couldn't swallow, and he was stuck in his throat.

Yuan Jiyue held the bottom of the cup: "What's wrong?" ”

"No, it's just to see the immortal master's face!" Uncle Liu sighed with a smile, his tone was inexplicably more than two close, and it also contained a deep regret, "Today's immortal master entered this door is fate, our eldest young master is a good person, he has never done a bad thing since he was a child, but he fell ill for no reason," he pointed to the charcoal basin on the ground, "Otherwise, how could it be burned in this day, I'm afraid of the cold." Now that this kind of thing has happened again, I hope that the immortal master will be kind enough to rescue one or two. ”

"Since I've already come, if I can help, I'll naturally help."

Uncle Liu thanked him first: "By the way, I haven't said the name of the eldest young master yet, my name is Dong Yuanyuan." ”

Yuan Jiyue praised: "Good name." ”

Together, the two brothers were perfect.

There was a laughing voice, a low male voice was laughing, the laughter was mixed with a soft whirring coquettish voice, Yuan Jiyue heard that it was Dong Manman's voice, he was still very restrained when he got along with her, and he was still a little childlike in front of his eldest brother.

The curtain was lifted.

Dong Manman was pulled in by an adult man, thinking that it was his eldest brother Dong Yuanyuan. I saw that he was wearing a blue-green fur-collared robe, medium height, and a feminine appearance. The body is very thin, the wind on the road, and when he comes in, he is pounced on by the heater, and he coughs twice.

He complained that Dong Manman was not concentrating on martial arts practice and secretly ran home, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Dong Manman saw that he was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly pressed him to the chair.

"It's okay." Dong Yuanyuan pinched his face and followed his strength. Seeing someone he didn't know at the table, his smile didn't fade, "Girl?" ”

Yuan Jiyue had already stood up by herself, and said in a timely manner: "In Xia Yuan Jiyue, it is a disciple of the Wangshu Sect who has attained the immortal stage. ”

Dong Yuanyuan's face changed suddenly. Maintaining a half-squatting position, his eyes were groggy, an unknown light was floating, and his lips were pursed together.

In a blink of an eye, he changed again, straightened up with a polite smile on his face, and made a gesture to Yuan Jiyue to please, asking her to sit down first, and then he sat down.

"I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, first I came back with Manman, and then there was an immortal master who got the immortal period, this house is deserted, there have been no guests for a long time, it really caught me off guard."

"And I am honored."

His voice was gentle, smiling again and again, and he couldn't tell that he was still gloomy at the last moment, and the speed of this face change was so fast, Uncle Liu, who lowered his head and put his head on the plate, didn't notice it, and Dong Manman, who was a child, didn't notice it.

Yuan Jiyue could see it clearly, and she could feel that he didn't welcome herself, and she insisted on pretending to be hospitable, really... It's weird.

From the time she entered the door to the present, she found that there were too many things wrong with the Dong Mansion.

There must be a mystery here.

"Young master, you have a big heart, and you say you don't have to worry about these idle things, but what kind of idle matter is this!"

During the banquet, Uncle Liu was also on the table, and Yuan Jiyue was treated as a guest.

Uncle Liu's attitude towards this eldest young master is different from that of ordinary masters and servants, perhaps because of his age, in addition to being respectful to Dong Yuanyuan, he also speaks with a tone of unease between the elders and the juniors.

"No, I'll take it upon myself to invite people back."

"You also know that I am not in good spirits on weekdays, and some things are heard from my left ear, and I go out from my right ear when I follow them, and I can't put them on my heart at all." Dong Yuanyuan begged for mercy and smiled at Uncle Liu, and bowed his hand in the emptiness. Dong Manman sat next to him and buried his head in eating, obediently not interjecting, he raised his hand and intimately added a spoonful of soup to Dong Manman, and did not forget to greet the new guests, "Immortal Master, don't be polite, it's the same as in your own home." Try this black chicken soup, the meat is stewed badly, and the Chinese medicinal materials are stewed together, which is replenished and easy to restrain . ”

Yuan Jiyue responded with a smile.

"The immortal master should know about the events of that night." Dong Yuanyuan said and put the big spoon back and pushed the soup bowl towards Yuan Jiyue. After doing this, he rubbed Dong Manman's hair and asked tentatively, "I don't know what the immortal master thinks?" ”

Talking about business, Yuan Jiyue put down her chopsticks and said thoughtfully: "When I first arrived in your mansion, I didn't dare to make a decision. It's just that there is something that makes me suspicious, I walked in all the way from the door, I found that the feng shui in the house was deliberately destroyed, and I heard Uncle Liu talk about what he saw, and the things were strung together, I think the eldest prince may not be safe at this time. ”

Uncle Liu swallowed a mouthful of food, and echoed in a loud voice: "I'm afraid that the young master will bother, I didn't tell the young master before, the time when our house was destroyed was before the woman appeared, I thought it was someone's prank, so I didn't care, but now it seems that it is not, why don't you destroy other families, and specially pick our family?" ”

"That's a strange thing." Dong Yuanyuan frowned, "Does the immortal master know anything about the monsters behind the scenes?" ”
