Shen Qiu came back earlier than Ah Liu, and Shen Shuyi was still worried about it all afternoon, for fear that he would break in recklessly, not to mention that the business could not be done, they would have to each have a board, so they were so panicked that they could only breathe a sigh of relief at night.

However, it is this breath that is relieved, and the real fear has not yet arrived. After sleeping for two days in a row, he couldn't be refreshed, so he kept pretending to sleep until the second half of the night, the room was quiet, Shen Qiu didn't snore or grind his teeth when he slept, and even the sound of breathing was very subtle, and it was really impossible to tell whether he was really sleeping or fake sleeping.

Supposedly, who sleeps in the middle of the night? But he had stepped on this pit many times before, all during the New Year's Festival, and he couldn't get up in the middle of the night and wanted to go out to play, but as soon as he moved, Shen Qiu asked coldly, "Why are you going?" Over time, the more he watched in the middle of the night, the more he didn't dare to run around.

But tonight he had a reason to run, in the past, most of his movements were in the first half of the night, this time he deliberately waited later, he also thought about it, if Shen Qiu didn't sleep again, he would have to go out even if he ran.

I thought it wouldn't be so unlucky, but as a result, Shen Qiu really didn't sleep, he was just about to get up and move, when he heard the sound of Shen Qiu turning over and getting out of bed, Shen Shuyi was startled, and immediately began to hypnotize himself, and he didn't dare to breathe faster. In the darkness, Shen Qiu barely made any loud noise, got dressed and went out.

Listening to the door closed, he opened his eyes and looked up, while breathing a sigh of relief, he was also quite curious, yesterday was to go out in the middle of the night, and today is again, is the "work" not finished yet? He subconsciously touched the jade piece on his wrist, but there were still only two cracks.

He didn't think much about it, why not run at this time? Of course, it's still important to get down to business, get out of bed and quickly get dressed and run out, at night he often has people on duty in front of the hospital, so he didn't even go to the gate and went directly over the wall, but unfortunately his skills are not very neat, and he turned over a few times before he passed.

After being discharged from the hospital, he ran directly to the back door, passing by rows of small rooms, and pushed open the door of Ah Liu's house with familiarity.

"Liuzi, wake up, where's the thing?" He shook Ah Liu awake, but fortunately there was only one person living in this house, so he didn't need to be too restrained.

Ah Liu got up sleepily, took a cloth bag and stuffed it into his arms at his feet, yawned and said: "There is only this set left in the tailor's shop, you can still wear it, the hairpin is stolen from my mother, you will use it." With that, he fell backwards and snored after a while.

Shen Shuyi was happy, and he didn't look at the things inside, he said "thank you" to Ah Liu, who was already sleeping soundly, and ran to the back door with his back on his back, and just arrived at the corner, but found that there was also a person at the back door who was about to go out.

It was Shen Qiu, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, empty-handed, pushed open the door and walked out.

Shen Shuyi looked around for a long time and didn't dare to move, for fear that Shen Qiu would suddenly kill a horse pistol, wouldn't it be embarrassing? He was also a little strange in his heart, if he was doing something, why didn't Shen Qiu go from the front door, but took a long detour to the back door, and he didn't seem to have anything on him, how could he "work"?

After waiting for a long time and still not moving, he ran over in small steps, opened the door a crack, and saw that there was no one, and then cautiously got out.

At the discharge gate, he trotted all the way to a small courtyard and stopped at a small courtyard, in front of which a carriage made of wooden planks was almost ready, and he hurried into the hospital.

"Senior brother, wait for me!" As he ran, he shouted, and several young people were busy loading the car, holding a few puppeteers dressed up in the scenery, as well as gongs and drums and other things.

At the door of the house, there was a young man in a black robe, and when he saw him yelling, he hurriedly signaled him to silence him, and pretended to scold: "What time did you come?" I'm going to have to wait for you to be delayed. ”

Shen Shuyi grinned and nodded in response: "Senior brother, wait a long time, give me a few minutes to change my clothes, I am sure it will not be late." So saying, he ran into the house, and the young man grabbed him and tore open the cloth bag from his back.

"You're not going to do it, are you?" He looked at him suspiciously.

Shen Shuyi pulled back the cloth bag and hugged it in his arms, the time was indeed too late, and said as he walked: "As for, absolutely!" Then I went inside, and as soon as the door was closed, there was no movement.

The young man stood outside the door, his face was a little strange, and the person who was carrying things next to him came over and asked him, "Sir, is this gong big or small?" And the erhu, it seems that it's time to be oiled. ”

"Take both, let's take the erhu first, and it's not for the living, if it's low, it's low, there's no problem." He replied and instructed a few more words, "You guys load the car first, and I'll go out in a while." ”

The man answered, and the young man looked left and right, and pushed the door into the house.

Inside the house, Shen Shuyi was also a little difficult to open the clothes in the cloth bag. This is a complete set of women's clothes that he asked Ah Liu to buy in the tailor's shop yesterday morning, the style is old and it doesn't hurt, but the color is really a little stumbling, he is a man in the end, and the color is too bright to hold up, but the one in front of him is a bright purple.

The young man saw it from behind him, couldn't help but smile, and asked, "You don't really plan to put it on, do you?" How big a grudge does this have with the Zhou family, do you have to dress up like this? ”

Shen Shuyi also pulled her hair, frowned, and said, "Why can't you wear it?" Ye is naturally beautiful, come, help me put it on. As he spoke, he also held back his anger in his heart, and began to change his hands and feet quickly.

He changed while the young man laughed, and in the end he changed it, and he didn't know whether he was angry or tired, but he was sweating in his head, and there happened to be a mirror on the table, he sat at the table and spread his hair out, and simply pulled it into a bun, and then inserted it into the broken copper hairpin that Ah Liu stole from his mother, although it looked a little shabby, but it was not out of line.

"How?" Shen Shuyi showed his head sideways, he was still young, many aspects that were too masculine had not yet been revealed, and his hair was thinner and softer than that of ordinary women, it was really difficult to see what was greasy if he didn't look closely, plus the night was dark and the wind was high, it was definitely not a problem to sneak into the Zhou family.

However, this is a fair opinion, acquaintances are different, I have seen too much of the old look, and it is estimated that this dress is a woman, how can I see that something is wrong. His senior brother didn't speak, his face was slightly gloomy, but he obviously didn't want to smile.

Shen Shuyi rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked out of the house to the gate of the courtyard to get into the car, and the people on the side of the car were full of surprise when they saw him, and the young man didn't say much when he came up, and these people naturally didn't dare to ask more.

The wooden cart was pitch black, and there was no light, Shen Shuyi leaned on his eyes to take a break, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "My master went back a few days ago?" ”

The young man's voice soon came, "Well, I came back the day before yesterday, and I was rehearsing a new play for Senior Brother in the past two days, why do you want me to bring two sentences?" ”

Shen Shuyi sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, don't make him angry again." He just suddenly thought that on the night he entered the Dark Sun Mirror, four-year-old Hong said that he had something to say to him the next morning, but unfortunately, he couldn't listen to it at the time, and now he had to wait for the month to pass and go back to Jiangzhen to ask.

The car stopped for more than half an hour, and a person outside shouted, "Please sir——"

The young man had already taken care of his clothes and slowly got out of the car, Shen Shuyi followed him, and there were five or six white-clothed Zhou family members standing outside the car, all with gloomy faces, as if it was his own father who died.

"Labor leads the way." The youth arched his hand.

The one who shouted was the housekeeper of the Zhou family, surnamed Tao, who was only about forty years old, and his appearance was very capable, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but bow his head slightly, this one recognized him.

On the day of the funeral, Shen Shuyi was of course not good in bright purple clothes, but fortunately, the troupe had a surplus white blouse, and he put one on the outside, only revealing the dark skirt underneath, which was not conspicuous, but when he passed the door, Steward Tao glanced at him lightly, and did not find anything abnormal.

The door is in, but he still doesn't dare to let go of this tone for a while, the Zhou family is different from the Lu family and the Shen family, the Zhou family is famous, the family is big, and there is Mrs. Tai in charge, the specifications in the house are strict, if you are not careful, it is easy to be caught.

This first step has become, the second step is to find Zhou Jingchen, and it is another problem, his father is about to go out of the funeral, he must serve in the ancestral hall at this time, this outfit is okay to fool others, I am afraid it will not be enough to see in front of Mrs. Zhou, so I have to think of calling him out unconsciously, the biggest problem is that if Zhou Jingchen refuses to see him at this time, then his trip will be really in vain.

Steward Tao led them to the courtyard, and the puppet stage in the middle of the courtyard had been largely set up, because the time could not be delayed, a kind of person began to get busy, and Shen Shuyi also knew that it was not abrupt to help twice once in a while.

After a while, Steward Tao had something to leave, and the young man came up to him and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Shen Shuyi was carrying the wooden shelf, the weight was quite light, he didn't have a good idea at this time, so he threw it into the young man's arms nearby, and said, "I don't know, besides, I should take care of the food later, right?" ”

The young man slapped him in the face and said, "That little bit of interest, you will know how to eat and eat in one day." Then he took the pile of wooden shelves and put them on the stage.

It's a blessing to be able to eat...... He said in his heart, grinned on his face, and said, "It's good to work if you don't eat enough." ”

After a few words of gossip, he began to bury his head in the platform again, and the courtyard was hung with white lanterns with yellow light, Shen Shuyi looked at the courtyard, and always felt as if something was missing, no, he had been missing something since he came out at night.

What's missing? He pondered for a long time, until he suddenly reacted when he saw the white and swaying mourning word, there was not a single ghost in Quyun City tonight!

This is naturally impossible, where there are living people, there must be dead people, and there must be ghosts if there are dead people, but now the ghosts in Quyun City seem to have all been captured, and there is not a single one, blame him for not seeing ghosts on weekdays, and he didn't even notice it for a while, but when he thinks about it, he feels more and more weird.

Such a strange situation on the morning of the first seven obviously does not mean a good sign.
