When he was about to arrive at the gate of the county government, Meng Wu suddenly stopped, and Xiaoyu said, "What's wrong?" Walking and suddenly stopping, people almost hit you. ”

Meng Wudao: "I ate too much just now, I was in too much of a hurry, and my stomach hurts!" ”

Xiaoyu said: "I told you not to eat so much - what should I do?" ”

Meng Wudao: "I'll go to the yayuan to borrow a thatched house, anyway, I'm at the yamen, I'm afraid that there will be bad guys on the road-you take the swallows in, I'll go to the thatched house-alas, I hate it, people hate it outside, and I don't know if it's clean or not, and I don't know if there's toilet paper-" His voice was far away from us.

I sighed, I wanted to say that Meng Wu was going in the wrong direction, the left courtyard he went to was the county official's residence, and the right courtyard was the errand where the yamen lived-

Xiao Yu looked around and said, "Alas, I also have a little pain in my stomach, is there a problem with the supper just now-ouch-"

I patted her hand and said, "Then you go with the fifth uncle, I know the yayuan, there are bad people inside, I won't be in danger." ”

"Sister Fei is really okay? If you fall and get hurt, Old Man Meng will be angry with me. ”

I nodded and said, "It's really okay, I didn't have you with me, and I planned to come by myself." Go ahead, don't suffocate. ”

"Alright then, be careful, yell if something happens!"

"Well, let's go." I really didn't have the patience to grind with Xiaoyu more, so I went inside first.

Xiao Yu stood in the back for a while, then turned and left.

As soon as I didn't have them with me, I immediately couldn't hide my impatience, and I hurriedly touched inside, to be honest, I was not familiar with this yayuan to the extent that I could touch the door with my eyes closed, and I wanted to calm down and think about it carefully, but I couldn't really calm down.

"Be careful!" I didn't know where I touched it, but I suddenly felt empty under my feet, and I was about to fall, and someone helped me, "Boss Yan?" ”

It was a man, he recognized me and called out my name, but I felt a little unfamiliar with this voice - who else in this yayuan would recognize me except Lord Shangguan?

The strange man who took Yan Cuo with Lord Shangguan just now should be Cao Nan, but this voice is not Cao Nan's voice.

"Brother Xiang?" I blurted out a ghostly sentence.

The man immediately retracted his hand after holding me steady, and said, "You recognize the wrong person, I am not Xiang Wu." ”

I think it's even more strange, how does he know that the big brother I call is Xiang Wu? However, I seem to have heard that Xiang Wu is coming to the yamen to seek an errand, and if he is here to seek errands, he may know about Xiang Wu.

"Who are you? Do I recognize you? "I always felt like I had heard his voice sometimes.

The man said: "I'm a newcomer, I've seen Boss Yan, maybe Boss Yan hasn't paid attention to me - it's so late, what's the matter with Boss Yan coming here?" ”

I hurriedly said, "I want to see my lord, I have something important to see him!" ”

The man hesitated for a while and said, "The adults have gone to bed at night, but he has instructed that if Boss Yan wants to go to the cell to see people, he can go directly without Shangbing." ”

"Really? So can I go to see Yan Cuo now? ”

The man said: "That's what the adults ordered, that is, they know who Boss Yan is going to see - is it the new young man?" ”

I nodded eagerly.

The man said: "I'll take you there, the cell is wet, if Boss Yan doesn't mind, hold my shoulder." ”

I was so anxious that I wouldn't mind, the man's shoulders were broad and his pace was steady, as if he had slowed down to take care of me.

"Yan Cuo, is he okay?" I wanted to find something to deflect my tension and make sure that Yan Cuo was safe by the way.

The man said, "It's okay, I stayed there and didn't speak." ”

"Has anyone come to see him?"

"You're the first."

That's good, as long as you make sure that Yan Cuo is safe and ahead of Song Lingjian and Han Sanxiao, otherwise if they are here, they will definitely not let me see Yan Cuo.

We were going down, step by staircase, the cell was below the level, and I felt the smoky moisture of the straw, and there wasn't much of a chaotic breathing in it, it was quiet, so quiet that it was just the sound of a water tank dripping somewhere—

Originally, the ruins were very peaceful, and there were very few cases, so I think this cell was vacant most of the time.

I followed the man all the way deeper, one hand on his shoulder, the other hand touching the wooden fence between the cells, and naturally counting the number of roots of the wooden fence in my heart.

Seventy-Eight—When he reached the seventy-ninth root, the man slowed down and said softly, "It's here, it's ahead." ”

- The cell was so empty, but they kept Yan in such a cell.

I heard heavy breathing from inside the cell, the sound of chains pulling.

"Yan mistake?" I shouted in that direction.

"What are you doing here? See me jokes? Yan Cuo said coldly, but his voice still made my heart instantly calm, just be safe.

The man said, "You guys talk slowly, if you have something to call me, I'm at the door." "Then he walked outside.

I don't know what to say, if I could, I really don't want to face him, but it's a matter of life and death, and I always have to worry about his safety.

Yan Cuo sneered and said, "Pretending to be benevolent and righteous in front of others, and secretly coming to stir up schadenfreude, you are this kind of person, Yan Fei?" ”

I bit my lip and said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Yan said wrongly: "You're alone?" Shouldn't you bring your friends and family to see what happened to me? ”

I trembled and said, "Yan Cuo, don't be like this-"

Yan Cuo rudely interrupted me: "Don't act anymore, there's no one else here, don't you feel disgusting?" I beg you, let me stay quietly and not disgusting, and kill or chop whatever I want. ”

I kept shaking, which I couldn't control, and I tried to change the subject to hide the purpose of my visit: "I have something I haven't figured out, and I want to ask you." ”

Yan Cuo said impatiently: "Shangguan Yan asked you, what kind of generosity are you pretending to be there, isn't it actually the same baht." ”

"Yes, you're right, there are some things I have to ask."

Yan Cuo ignored me.

I asked him, "Did you do the haunting in Zhuangzi?" The bleeding murals and grimaces on the walls aren't my nightmares, they're real, are they? ”

Yan Cuo seemed to lie down, but his breath was facing me, as if admiring his own masterpiece: "That's right, I did it, it's all a simple little trick, but it can scare you stupid and ignorant woman half her life, it's really fun and painful—if it weren't for the sudden reappearance of your two nosy friends, it would be no problem to scare you half crazy." ”

I bit my lip and pretended to be relaxed, "Is it so fun to scare me crazy?" ”

"yes, it's fun, it's fun."

"I always thought that someone was watching me in the dark, are you following me?"

"It's me, all the illusions that you feel scared and worried about are hallucinations, I designed them." Yan Cuo said viciously.

I clenched my trembling fingertips tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I never understand why you hate me so much, and if I am sorry for you in any way, I apologize to you-"

Yan Cuo interrupted me viciously, "I don't need your apology!" Keep your hypocrisy and go to the underworld to see your conscienceless father! ”

I snorted and said, "It doesn't matter if you hate me, but please tell me that this is just a fact that you faked because you wanted to hit me, and Daddy didn't die-"

"Don't mention that man to me, he should have died a long time ago, sixteen years ago! He should have died sixteen years ago, and he would have died a hundred, so my mother wouldn't have to suffer so much, and there would be no Yan Cuo in this world......" Yan Cuo's voice was slightly choked, what kind of experience would plant such hatred in his heart.

"Your mother, she ......"

"Shut up! I won't allow you to preface my mother in front of me! Yan Cuo suddenly jumped like thunder, waved his hand violently, and the iron chain hit the prison rail, making an abrupt and sharp dull sound.

"Yan Mistake—" I cried timidly.

"You go!" Yan Cuo's heart was beating fast, and her breathing was also very short.

He hated me so much that he couldn't hide it, and used the most vicious words to drive me away, Yan Cuo, what have I done, you want to hate me so much?

"I've confessed everything, what else do you want? If you're here to see what I'm going to do, it's too early, exile or beheaded, you'll be able to see it when the time comes. Yan Cuo's voice suddenly moved farther away, his heartbeat and breathing slowed down, as if he was desperate for everything, vaguely, I seemed to hear him sobbing forcibly-

How familiar the sobs were—and the hateful look in his eyes as he opened them with rage—

Sideways - memories from that dream, the boy who cried in the alley and suddenly rushed out and knocked me to the ground!

Yan wrong!

On that evening five or six years ago, the boy who gave me an extra scar on my leg was Yan Cuo!

My eyes were hot, and my veils were instantly moist and hot, it turned out that I really hated me for many years, and he was always by my side, but I didn't know it.

Yan Cuo saw me crying, and was immediately enraged again, and said viciously: "What are you doing here?!" Don't look like you've been wronged in front of me, I tell you, I never owe you anything! You get out of here immediately, if you don't get out, I'll call someone! "Boom!" With a thud, he threw the chain against the wooden fence again, and my hearing was still so sensitive that my cold hair stood on end.

"The kid who knocked me down five years ago was you, right?"

"Yes, it's me! I have long known your existence, I know where you live, what kind of business you do, and I know who you are around and what their temperament is. But you never knew that there was another me in this world. Isn't it ridiculous? Yes? ”

"Now that you know, why never come to us? Where's Daddy? "Since he knows about my existence, then Daddy must know about it.
