"After my father and mother died, I am a father and a mother, I worry about you every day, if you want to be interested, you will marry a wife, so that my sister can worry." The old lady sighed and sat down cross-legged on the futon.

Wu Muyun sat down on the futon opposite her, the two looked at each other, and he smiled bitterly, "Sister Zhijia is worried about me, I won't come back." ”

The old lady pursed her mouth and looked disgusted, "It's time to start a family, don't let your nephew even give birth to a child before you, you are not afraid of other people's jokes." ”

"I am an official in the capital, there are many rights and wrongs, it is inconvenient to bring my family, I am alone, I am free to worry about it, if I am in trouble somewhere, I don't have to worry about my wife and children." Wu Muyun said the concerns in his heart.

When the old lady heard this, she sighed again, everyone envied her husband for making money, and her only younger brother was an official in the capital, and he also relied on it, but he didn't know that the higher he climbed, the more frightened he was.

The old lady then thought of the tiled shed, the almost withering plantation, which was always a hidden danger at the tip of her heart, worried that once this matter was exposed, it would definitely affect her brother's career.

"Sister, but there's something on your mind?" Wu Muyun saw that the old lady was worried, and she was uneasy.

The old lady shook her head, "I'll be relieved to see that you're safe, let's talk about it another day." ”

Wu Muyun nodded and didn't ask any more. He knew that his sister must have been suffering, if not, how could she stop talking like this.

Back in the quiet courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Wu Muyun was still not at ease, so he ordered his entourage to secretly explore the strangeness in it. The entourage only informed Zhang that the room was extremely secluded, and that there were rare plants planted in the Nawa shed.

Wu Muyun planned to take advantage of the darkness to go to the tile shed to see if it was true.

On the side of Chai Yuan, Mo Qiantao took advantage of the night on duty to find out the situation of the Zhang family, she carried the lantern and wandered around aimlessly, and avoided the other servants on duty at night.

In addition to the fact that the Zhang family is guarded in turn, the management of other places is not so strict, which is also where Mo Qiantao feels strange, she first walked around the room, and there were a few strong men guarding the door, drinking and amused, and there seemed to be cooking smoke rising inside.

This night shift is three shifts, isn't it boiling sauce or something? Mo Qiantao thought so.

Zhang's house covers a wide area, but the practical area is so little, it is estimated that half an hour, Mo Qiantao has finished visiting the entire Zhang family, she is hidden in the bamboo forest, and sees the servant of the room walking towards the dark place in the distance, and still carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, Mo Qiantao thought that he was just stealing the food in the room, and wanted to find a no-man's land for a good meal, but after a while, the servant came back, and the bamboo basket in his hand became heavy, and it seemed that it had not been filled.

Mo Qiantao's doubts were aroused, she extinguished the lantern, hung it in the bamboo forest, and walked in the direction of the servant just now. After walking for a long time, I saw a cold tiled shed, and two strong men who were drunk were guarding outside. She had a vague sense that this place was unusual, and then she felt the urge to find out when she thought of the poppy husks that Oda had brought back.

Although Mo Qiantao felt strange why the servants on duty on both sides were drinking, she didn't take it to heart.

She was petite herself, and it was easy to slip in from these two drunks who were lying down.

It was dark and cold in the tiled shed, and by the dim moonlight, she could see the rising poppies without much effort.

The connection between the equally well-guarded house and the tiled shed located in the distance is self-evident, Mo Qiantao frowned tightly and whispered: "Planting so many poppies, it's really a loss of conscience."

She didn't dare to stay longer, and quietly returned to the bamboo forest, and when she took off the lantern hanging on the bamboo branch, a dark shadow flashed, followed by a bright dagger close to her throat, "Don't make a sound, follow me." ”

The man's voice was so low that there was no temperature, and before Mo Qiantao, whose mind was blank, could react, he pulled her towards the rockery in the dark corner.

Her back was against the cold stone, and the uneven corners of her back were stabbing her whole back uncomfortably.

"What are you doing in the tiled shed?" The man asked.

Mo Qiantao listened to the man's voice, but looked down on his appearance, he was like a disembodied, pitch-black shadow.

"I ......" Mo Qiantao looked at your shadow in a daze, and she couldn't speak. I'll just take a look, and no one ever said that you can't go in. ”

The man's hand shook, almost scratching Mo Qiantao's neck.

"You know I've been in the tiled shed, so you've gone in too? So what did you go to the tile shed for? Mo Qiantao was stunned and asked.

The man in black didn't expect her to want to take herself into the ditch, so he immediately changed the topic, "Do you know what is planted in the tile shed?" ”

Mo Qiantao blinked, her innocent eyes wide, and asked, "I don't know, what is it?"

The man laughed sullenly, and decided to give this cunning little girl a small punishment, and the dagger in his hand was slightly forced, and a bloody mark was drawn on the side of Mo Qiantao's throat.

Mo Qiantao only felt a cold neck, and there was a hot and humid liquid flowing out, she immediately ducked back, hit the back of her head on the stone, and fainted.

For a moment, the man thought that Mo Qiantao was pretending to be garlic, but he hadn't really started yet, why did he faint first.

*

When Mo Qiantao woke up, it happened to be slightly bright.

The warm sun shone on the white earth, and the snowflakes shimmered as clear as fine pearls.

"Awake?" Wu Muyun put down the scroll in his hand and walked to Mo Qiantao's side.

Mo Qiantao was startled, turned her head suddenly, and looked at Wu Muyun, she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked at Wu Muyun as if she had seen a ghost.

"Is that you?"

Wu Muyun nodded, not intending to argue, but this made Mo Qiantao not know how to deal with it.

Wu Muyun brought a plate of things from the table and handed it to Mo Qiantao, "Hungry, eat." ”

Mo Qiantao looked at the "food" on the plate with a suspicious expression, it was actually poppy husks, and in a hurry, she raised her hand and knocked over the plate.

Wu Muyun glanced at her with a smile, with a relaxed look, "It's okay, there's more." ”

"I don't want to eat it, I won't eat it." Mo Qiantao hid in the corner of the wall, "If you come over again, I'm going to call someone." ”

"Then it's up to the two of us to see who moves faster." As he spoke, Wu Muyun took out the dagger again, and the meaning of the threat was obvious.

Mo Qiantao's eyes sank, "Whether I say it or not, you don't plan to let me go." ”

"If you are well-behaved, you can avoid unnecessary flesh and skin suffering." Wu Muyun's eyes didn't have any waves, calm as a pool of stagnant water, as if licking blood from the edge of a knife, it was just as simple as eating a meal.

"If I make any mistakes, my father-in-law will definitely get to the bottom of it, you have only been in the house for a few days, I have an accident, do you think you will be suspicious?" Mo Qiantao explained to him the powerful relationship and tried to make him sanitize the idea of killing people.

Wu Muyun smiled slightly, "It's just a suspicion, I won't leave any evidence, as for your father-in-law...... Marry another filler, and he should be very happy. ”

Mo Qiantao frowned, feeling that she was unlucky, she woke up and became a junior, in order to save her life, she married herself to an unidentified and inexplicable man, until these messy things in the back, none of them went well.

Anyway, it was death horizontally and vertically, Mo Qiantao simply turned her heart sideways, closed her eyes, and said, "Then you can kill me."

"Then I will slowly torture you until you die of exhaustion." Wu Muyun said lightly, but Mo Qiantao's heart was in her throat, and it was absolutely false to say that she was not afraid.

She understands that this is a world where killing people doesn't have to pay any price for a comeback.

Mo Qiantao stood up with a "sigh", with a fearless momentum, she said impatiently: "Anyway, the old lady is not comfortable living here, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, if you want to kill it, you can do whatever you want." At the end, she looked at Wu Muyun, who was stunned, and said, "I'm going to die, and no one will know the use of that plant anymore."

After hearing this, Wu Muyun didn't react, he walked to the round table and sat down, and continued to flip through the books.

Not much happened, a man came in, muttered a few words in Wu Muyun's ear, Mo Qiantao guessed that the two should be talking about the tile shed plants, and sure enough, after a while, Wu Muyun turned his eyes to her again.

Mo Qiantao raised her head and stared back without fear.

After the man stepped back, Wu Muyun began to look at Mo Qiantao intently, and the meaning conveyed in his eyes made Mo Qiantao unable to guess, so he could only stop confronting him.

"These plants all went into Zhang's room and restaurant, and finally they were eaten in the stomachs of ordinary people in the town, am I wrong?" Wu Muyun no longer persecuted her, but chose a gentler way.

When Mo Qiantao heard this, she also understood what was going on, no wonder the Zhang family's restaurant could stand, all thanks to the poppies planted in the tiled shed, but how did the Zhang family know the role of poppies? And who gave the seeds?

Seeing that she was silent, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"You are the uncle of the Zhang family, don't you understand everything if you ask the old lady? What's the matter with catching my little maid? Mo Qiantao rolled her eyelids, and after saying this, she felt that Wu Muyun was actually a drunkard, not drinking.

Wu Muyun nodded, "That's right." ”

After speaking, he turned around and went out, leaving Mo Qiantao with a blank face to live like a year.

As soon as he stepped out with his front foot, Mo Qiantao peeked at the door with his back foot, and there was not even a guard outside the door, Mo Qiantao sat back at the round table, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, she suddenly understood that Wu Muyun wanted to test herself, whether her mouth was firm.

Wu Muyun is the uncle of the Zhang family, so he naturally helps the Zhang family, and Mo Qiantao has seen through the secrets of the Zhang family, although she has saved her life in time, her head is not very strong after all.

Mo Qiantao stood up and paced back and forth, the most thought that came to her mind now was how to escape from Zhang's house.
