Chapter Seventy-Five: Each Bears a Ghost Child (1)

"Tiger head, cross the river and go to the boundary of Luoning County!" , Shi Yuning said happily as he looked at the several ferries by the river.

"Yes! It's finally home, this time the tolerance is not close, let's be out for almost a month! Nie Xiaohu stretched his waist for a long time.

"But isn't it, I don't know what happened to Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Maozi, I really miss them a little!" As he spoke, Shi Yuning strode towards a ferry.

"Boatman! River! ”

"Okay, a few officials, please get on board!" An elderly boatman greeted him warmly.

In addition to Nie Xiaohu, Tang Yibin and Shi Yuning, there was also an elderly couple, a middle-aged woman with a little girl of five or six years old, and a lady wearing a green silk dress, a jeweled lady, followed by a pretty little maid, the two sat at the bow of the boat, the lady looked out at the water, her face was slightly melancholy, she seemed to have something on her mind, and there was a heavy anchor under her feet.

"Let's sail!" With a high-pitched cry from the elderly boatman, the boat slowly sailed away from the shore and slowly sailed towards the opposite shore.

"Xiao Yun, look, there's a beautiful waterfowl over there!" Just as the boat was in the middle of the river, the lady sitting in the bow of the boat suddenly pointed to the river in the distance and said with a little excitement.

The little maid beside the noble lady hurriedly looked in the direction of her finger when she heard the sound, and Nie Xiaohu looked over unconsciously.

"No, miss, where are you?" , the maid Xiaoyun said with a frown while poking her head out and watching.

Nie Xiaohu also looked at the water blankly, and there was not a single bird.

"Isn't that right? Right there! The lady stood up sharply as she spoke, leaned out of the boat, and pointed with her hand to the left front.

At this moment, due to the sudden action of the noble lady, the ship was unstable and shook violently.

"Miss be careful!" , The maid screamed and reached out to grab the noble lady, and Nie Xiaohu and the others were also taken aback.

But it was too late, and I could only hear "Ah! A shout, followed by a "poof! With a loud bang, the noblewoman was plunged into the river, and a huge wave splashed down on everyone in the boat.

Including Nie Xiaohu, all the people in the boat were stunned by the scene in front of them, no one spoke, no one moved, and they all froze on their seats.

"Miss~~~~!" , The maid Xiaoyun came back to her senses suddenly, looked at the splash on the surface of the river and shouted heartbreakingly.

"Help!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted, followed by "Poof!" He jumped into the river, and another huge wave hit.

Tang Yibin and Shi Yuning each wiped a handful of water droplets on their faces, you look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads blankly, neither of them knew water!

Before the two could speak, two hands were put on the side of the boat, and Nie Xiaohu's head was exposed.

"Pull me up!" , Nie Xiaohu hurriedly called.

"I said Tiger Head, you don't know how to jump in the water, you dare to jump, fierce!" , Shi Yuning patted the horse's ass and Tang Yibin pulled Nie Xiaohu into the boat.

"The water is so cold, my feet are cramping!" , Nie Xiaohu hugged his right leg and grinned.

Shi Yuning and Tang Yibin couldn't hold back their laughter, and the two of them almost didn't hold back their internal injuries.

"Boatman, hurry to the shore!" , Nie Xiaohu shouted loudly.

"Oops!" Only then did the elderly boatman react and speed up the frequency of rocking the boat.

After the boat docked, Nie Xiaohu immediately organized people to start a search and rescue operation, and the river suddenly became lively, with more than a dozen boats shuttling back and forth on the river, and dozens of people in the river were looking around.

Finally, near noon, the noble lady was found in a reed bush near the shore not far downstream of the river, and she had drowned, and after the body was recovered and brought ashore, the maid Xiaoyun knelt beside the corpse and cried bitterly.

Nie Xiaohu carefully inspected the corpse, the corpse was pale, and the hair ornaments such as the beaded flowers and phoenix hairpins were neatly worn on the head, Nie Xiaohu looked at it, and his originally stretched brows gradually wrinkled.

"This girl, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad, you get up, I have a few questions I want to ask you", Nie Xiaohu said with a frown.

"Official, excuse me", Xiao Yun heard Nie Xiaohu's question, hurriedly stood up, wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, and looked at Nie Xiaohu timidly.

"What's your name?"

"The maid's name is Xiao Yun, and she is my master's personal maid," Xiao Yun said with a sob.

"What is your master's name, and where does he live?"

"If you go back to the official master, my master's surname is Lu, called Lu Youruo, who lives in Luoning County and is the owner of Lu Ji Silk Village."

"Are you sure that the deceased is your master?" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly came out with such a sentence, and even Tang Yibin and Shi Yuning on the side were stunned.

Xiao Yun was also stunned for a moment, involuntarily turned her head to look at the corpse on the ground, and then nodded mechanically, "Yes, yes." ”

"Are you sure you're right?" , Nie Xiaohu asked again.

"Official... Sir, why do you ask this? Can I still admit my mistake? Xiao Yun looked at Nie Xiaohu with puzzled eyes.

"Lu Ji Silk Village, I remember!" , Shi Yuning suddenly patted his head and said, "I heard that Master Lu of Lu Ji Silk Village has twin daughters, and the sisters are born like flowers and jade, almost identical, after Master Lu passed away, Lu Ji Silk Village will be jointly managed by the two sisters, I don't know if the one who died is my sister or my sister?" ”

"What this official said is right", Xiao Yun nodded and said, "My family is indeed two twin misses, the eldest lady is named Lu Youruo, and the second lady is named Lu Youlan, since the death of the old man, the business in the family is managed by the eldest lady, the second lady never asks about business, she is not interested in it, the one who died, it was my eldest lady Lu Youruo who died", Xiao Yun glanced at the corpse, and couldn't help crying.

"Twin sisters? It's kind of interesting. ”

A sneer appeared on Nie Xiaohu's lips.
