The morning light was faint, and the sunlight shone through the light curtains on the brocade quilt not far away, and many people knelt outside, they lowered their heads and said nothing. Under the brocade quilt lay a young man with a delicate face and blue eyes, he was wearing a neat shroud, his face was iron blue without a trace of blood, as if he had run out of oil and dried up.

In the chaos, the young man on the bed only felt that he could still hear the whistling wind in his ears, and the wind was carrying the sighs and whispers of countless people, which sounded very weird.

When I opened my eyes, there was an ancient mahogany bed carved in front of me, and the person next to me knelt on the ground, and the little girl on the side of her hand was even more pear blossoms and rain.

In a trance, he seemed to see an old man with a charity of short stature, the old man stretched out his old and cold hand and caressed his side face, his fingertips trembled slightly, like the dry branches beside the bed, swaying, without a trace of life, the young man stepped back, his throat was as hot as fire, and he made a sound.

The smile on the old man's face became deeper and deeper, and her eyes narrowed together, revealing a row of neat teeth, and it was not difficult to see that she must have had the appearance of a country and a city when she was young.

Later, her figure gradually faded in the air, and disappeared in front of the young man's eyes little by little, he looked at the old man stiffly and a little helplessly, and before his consciousness fell into darkness, he seemed to hear her old voice coming.

"Remember Murong Jiu, don't forget her."

When he opened his eyes, it was still the carved ancient bed in his dream, he only felt that his head was splitting, his eyes were foggy, and there was a slight low cry, and he was surrounded by filial piety cloth, a piece of white flowers, and his eyes hurt.

The sound of crying was shrill and eerie in the cold wind outside.

The boy sat up and saw the little girl kneeling beside his hand, with her hair in a bun, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, looking up at me with red eyes, and finally running out crying.

Before long, a room of people poured into the room, led by an old woman who looked to be sixty or seventy years old in a gorgeous dress, her eyes were red, and her trembling hands helped the young man with a puzzled face to his feet.

He didn't remember who this old woman was, and even the little girl's name Yushuang only found out later, Yushuang said that he was the third son of the Li family, named Li Qiongfeng, who took himself and returned with the wind, and was afraid of Qionglou Yuyu. Since childhood, he has been frail and sickly, and he has six brothers and sisters.

Every day, Li Qiongfeng would lean under the locust tree, holding a peach in her hand, listening to her talk about her previous things with great interest, learning literature at the age of three and martial arts at the age of four, and she was the most clever of all the children.

Born in troubled times, yin and yang reversed a hundred ghosts and walked at night, Li Qiongfeng fought twice with his father when he became an adult, and his father died in battle......

Listening to it from time to time, he will take a bite of a peach, and then smile, how do you say something? Once the success is done, the Qing government is crumbling, Sun Yat-sen is the general, stepping on the dry bones of ten thousand lives to revolution, and there is naturally my father among the dry bones.

As for the name Li Qiongfeng, it is really not auspicious, whether it is returning from the wind or Qionglou Yuyu, they are all lonely.

The days were very boring, he repeated every day to take medicine and eat peaches, and then listen to Yushuang's chattering life, until a month later, Mrs. Li said that it was for Chongxi, and found all the rich businessmen and their wives and daughters within a radius of dozens of miles to come to the house to gather, Li Qiongfeng sat at the door in a crescent-colored robe, silent in the wind, smiling, holding peaches in her hands, watching them come over with gifts to please and flatter.

It's boring......

Later, halfway through the banquet, a monk suddenly mixed in, tall, eyebrows and eyes full of smiles, it really didn't look like the high in the books, he walked lightly, and even slightly swayed, since it was a happy event, it was normal for the monk to come over to ask for some vegetarian food, and Xiao Si at the door was also afraid of stopping him and bumping into the gods and Buddhas, so he simply invited him in.

But he didn't want the monk, so he walked up to Li Qiongfeng, squinted his eyes and grinned, stretched out a hand and pointed it at his eyebrows, and then spoke:

"Li Sangongzi, I won't live long."

Yushuang next to her heard this, she was not happy at the time, she picked up the mop pole behind her and slapped the monk's buttocks, the monk smiled and flashed a few times, that look really not like a monk.

The housekeeper Li Rong saw it, frowned, many people who were born in troubled times pretended to be monks and came out to beg for food, obviously the person in front of him was also regarded as a liar, and found a few thugs, the big one was named Hu Er, who was originally from the Mo family in the east of the city, and then the Mo family was bought back by Mrs. Li when something happened to the Mo family.

He looked fierce and vicious, and the muscles on his body were extremely hideous, only to hear that there were a lot of strange things going on in the Mo family at that time, and they all died, but only Hu Er survived.

The monk glanced at Hu Er, frowned, and then shook his head and smacked his tongue, "The yin qi in this mansion is so heavy, and you are full of anger, which is really unlucky." ”

As soon as Hu Er heard this, he made it clear that the monk was going to cut off his own financial route, and he was about to pounce on his sleeves without looking at it, and all the thugs also rushed up, but between the wind and clouds, the sand under his feet was lifted into the sky by a strong force, flying around, and some of them could make a cut in the face.

The monk stood in the middle, his hands folded, his eyes closed, his mouth seemed to be silently chanting something, and everyone couldn't get close between the flying sand and stones, and those knives, guns and sticks were also swept away by the wind and seemed to fly wildly.

"Wait."

Old Mrs. Li walked from behind, looked at the monk with a smile on her lips, folded her hands and saluted: "Hello master." ”

The monk glanced at Mrs. Li, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and then waved his hand:

"It's okay, but it's ...... The Li family is haunted and something big is going to happen. ”

Old Mrs. Li frowned, but the look in her eyes flickered, and finally hooked a decent smile: "The Li family has been a duty and courtesy for so many years, and it is not a big deal, but the master is afraid that it is serious." ”

Li Qiongfeng sat aside, leaning against the wooden door, looking up at the monk staring at the old lady Li in front of him with serious eyes, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little evil, and he suddenly remembered what the monk had just said: "Li Sangongzi will not live long"

He frowned secretly, stepped forward, and somehow, he always felt that the thing in front of him was very smart, and what he said would inevitably happen.

"Mother, since you are a guest, it is better to ask the master to stay temporarily, I am not in good health, and I can also learn some scriptures from the master, maybe it will be fine."

Mrs. Li's face was blue, she turned around and glanced at him fiercely, angrily scolded, "You are not in good health, you are a ...... in the womb" paused, and then turned back and looked at the monk with some defense, "You don't need to learn any scriptures!" ”

Li Qiongfeng paused, didn't speak again, and was helped by Yushuang to sit next to him, but the spectators next to him whispered one after another, saying nothing more than that the Li family was indeed weird, and Li Sangongzi was sick.

The old lady glanced at Li Qiongfeng and sighed faintly, "It's all fate!" ”

The sentence was ambiguous, and before Li Qiongfeng could think about it carefully, Mrs. Li had already asked Xiao Si to arrange for the monk to live in Wanchuntai, a remote garden.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and Li Qiongfeng hid in the afternoon because she was unwell, leaning against the old locust tree in the yard and nibbling on peaches, Yushuang squatted under her feet, chattering while washing clothes.

"It's a nice yard." Suddenly, a somewhat playful voice sounded behind him, and he turned his head to see the monk half-draped in a robe, leaning against the courtyard with a leisurely appearance.

smiled, just wanted to invite the monk in, but unexpectedly the monk had already walked quickly to himself, and when he was a foot closer, he suddenly stood in place and said quietly:

"It's not bad, it's just ......" suddenly approached, and just as the tip of her nose touched the tip of her nose, she stopped, Yushuang let out a low breath and almost kicked over the basin of washing clothes.

The monk's eyes were like a hideous dragon, showing sharp teeth in the darkness, gradually crawling towards him, sucking his soul:

"It's time for you to wake up."

Suddenly, in a whirlpool, Li Qiongfeng's body shook, only to feel that there was darkness in front of him, and the voices of countless people echoing in his ears, Yushuang, Mrs. Li, Hu Er, and ...... The monk.

In the dream, I seemed to see five people with different personalities, four men and one girl, walking in the two worlds of yin and yang, turning their hands into clouds and rain, but there are too many terrifying and hideous evil ghosts in the world.

Conspiracy, fire, life and death, all flashed in front of his eyes, those struggling and sad faces, made him feel powerless, life and death were really in a thought.

In his dream, he saw the monk, who still looked like a hanger, but his eyes were so serious that he couldn't stop being timid.

"Wake up, this is not yours."

"Who are you......" I frowned at him and paused, "I, who are you?" ”

The monk suddenly smiled lowly, raised his bony hand, and slowly stretched it out in front of him, his fingers were long, but they were terrifyingly white, like lifeless dead wood, exuding a terrifying yin aura.

"Go find them, go wake them up."

Waking up in a dream, Li Qiongfeng sat up in astonishment, cold sweat soaked his high-grade brocade bedclothes, and Yushuang outside heard the movement, and hurriedly pushed open the door and poured him a cup of tea.

"Third Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Nope." Li Qiongfeng shook his head, and suddenly grabbed Yushuang's arm, which made the other party exclaim in surprise, he raised his head and looked at Xiaohong, "What about that monk?!" ”

Yushuang frowned, and took the teacup from Li Qiongfeng's hand with a puzzled face, "How can there be any monk?" You're sleeping, aren't you? ”

Suddenly a cold wind blew outside, and the window opened with a 'clang', and both of them were shocked, only to hear Yushuang turn around and shout, "Qiuyin, go and take a look." ”

There was a sigh from the outer hall, Yushuang hurriedly walked to the side and added two pieces of carbon, and took a mink fur from the cabinet to put it on him, and muttered in his mouth:

"The wind and cold at night, you need to wear more, tonight the old lady came to urge the meal, you are asleep, and you will be taken to the small kitchen behind." As he spoke, he bent down and glanced at Li Qiongfeng, his face full of concern that could not be concealed

"But woke up hungry? I'll let the girl eat hot, and you can put on your clothes and use some of it. ”

Li Qiongfeng looked at the jade frost in front of him inexplicably, and only felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, he was served by the maid to put on shoes and dress, and sat down at the dining table nervously.

"Isn't there a monk during the day today? Living in Wanchuntai, did he sleep? ”

Yushuang's face instantly stiffened when she heard the name of Wanchuntai, and she turned her head to cloth vegetables, and even her movements were a little flustered: "What do you say, that Wanchuntai has not lived in people for many years, how can there be any monks?" ”

Li Qiongfeng only felt that his eyes were blank, there was a rumble in his mind, he held the other party's hand, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Yushuang's expression stiffen, and almost subconsciously pushed him aside, the disgust in his eyes actually made Li Qiongfeng feel that he had seen it somewhere, and the familiar heart was hot.

Hiding something in his heart, a meal tasted like chewing wax, and he felt uncomfortable eating, Li Qiongfeng hurriedly took a few bites, and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

After eating, Li Qiongfeng lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, Yushuang slept outside, the sound of even breathing came, and suddenly the curtain on the carved bed moved, Li Qiongfeng turned over, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his legs, and hurriedly sat up, called Yushuang over, reflected the dim light, and gasped when he saw the two blood-red tooth marks on his legs.

Yushuang snorted, and hurriedly asked the people outside to come in and hold the lamp, and it didn't take long for a room of people to walk in, led by a middle-aged woman wearing a brocade dress and looking luxurious, she was holding a handkerchief in her hand, looking nervous but extremely indifferent.

Seeing that Li Qiongfeng looked down at the wound on his leg and didn't move, Yushuang reached out and pushed him, then turned his head and secretly whispered to the lady Nunu, reminding:

"Third master, haven't you seen the old lady yet?"

"What?" Li Qiongfeng paused, turned his head in disbelief and looked at the woman with sharp eyebrows, and gasped, this was completely different from what he dreamed of, that kind and amiable old lady didn't know how to become this unsmiling woman, who obviously looked only about forty years old, was actually called an old lady?

Although he was confused, because of the jade frost next to him, Li Qiongfeng still bowed his head and saluted, "Old ...... Old lady. ”

"Third master, you should call your mother." Yushuang sighed, and reached out with hatred on her face and pushed the confused Li Sanye in front of her, but somehow, she always felt a little confused, but she couldn't say anything was wrong.

"Mother." Li Qiongfeng whispered.

"Yes." The lady gave a slight sigh of encouragement and then turned her gaze to the doctor, and then softened her voice, "How is it?" ”

The doctor stood up and saluted, lowered his head, frowned, and shook his head, "The wound on the third master's leg, was it bitten by a snake, or is it a ......" paused, as if he was hesitating something, "Extremely venomous snake." ”

Li Qiongfeng's face changed, she gasped, and watched the wound on her leg turn black, and she became more and more restless.

But when she looked up again, Mrs. Li had no color on her face, she just ordered her subordinates to catch all the snakes in the yard and kill them, and found a few little girls to come over to suck out the poisonous blood for Li Qiongfeng, and went back.

Yushuang followed the doctor and concentrated on memorizing the medicinal materials, then took out a piece of silver from the box and handed it over, and the doctor bent down and retreated.

"You are leaning here, and a girl will come over every half an hour to suck out the poisonous blood for you, don't worry, there are all kinds of precious medicinal materials in the house, and you will be fine."

Yushuang said as she made the bed for Li Qiongfeng, stuffed a soft pillow on his back, and then turned her head and waved her hand, a girl in a coarse cloth walked in, kneeling beside Li Qiongfeng's bed, there was still a lot of nervousness and fear on her little face, Li Qiongfeng frowned, looked at the wound on her leg, and silently put down the rolled up trouser leg.

"No need, go and rest."

"Third Master......" Yushuang was stunned, lowered her head and looked vigilantly at the girl kneeling at her feet, and walked over, "You have to suck out the poisonous blood." ”

Li Qiongfeng hesitated, looked at Yushuang's unquestioning gaze, and finally compromised and stretched his legs, the little girl covered his soft thin lips on his calves, and after a sharp pain, the poisonous blood was finally cleaned up.

He was lying on the bed, in a cold sweat, looking at the top of the window with gloomy eyes, Yushuang leaning against the side, half-supported arms, drowsy.

The dim candlelight, Yushuang's steady gasping sound, and the sharp pain like collapse just now made Li Qiongfeng's consciousness more and more chaotic, and with the arrival of sleepiness, he also slowly fell into darkness.

It's just that this time I met the monk again in my dream, Li Qiongfeng ran to the other party in two steps, stretched out his hand to hold the monk's arm, and looked anxious:

"Who the hell are you! Who am I! ”

The monk smiled slightly, stretched out his arm from his hand, and pressed his thumb on Li Qiongfeng's eyebrows, "You will remember, before this, you have to work hard to live, Lady Li." ”

Suddenly, a sharp pain in his leg pulled Li Qiongfeng back from the dream in an instant, the window didn't know when it was opened, the cold wind blew him with a shiver, the girl before was kneeling by the window to suck out the poisonous blood for him, this time he didn't look hideous because of the severe pain, but remembered what the monk said, embankment Mrs. Li, try to live.

Don't...... Will Mrs. Lee kill him?

Early the next morning, the doctor came to treat Li Qiongfeng again, unexpectedly, the injury on the leg was not relieved, but there was no tendency to spread, no matter what, it was a decent relief.

And every day, different high-grade medicinal materials were also sent into Li Qiongfeng's 'Bihuatai' one after another, and in addition to taking medicine, he leaned against the old locust tree in the yard and nibbled on peaches.

After all...... Among everyone and everything, only the old locust tree and the peach made him feel familiar, and everything else was strange.

Xiaohong sat on the chair in the room, holding the embroidery frame in her hand, and the silver needle pierced the satin in her hand, her fingertips hurt, she pulled her hand back, looked at the embroidery frame that fell under her feet and the blood stains on her fingertips, and frowned.

Her eyes drifted to Li Qiongfeng outside, and a trace of familiarity suddenly surged in her heart, she lowered her head and steady her breathing, but she still couldn't stop feeling strange.

Someone told her that her name was Yushuang, and she was a first-class girl in the Li Mansion, who served Li Qiongfeng on weekdays, and some people even said that she had already been defaulted to by the old lady as Li Qiongfeng's aunt.

But Yushuang somehow would always be awakened by nightmares, and she would see many hideous and terrifying grimaces, which pounced on themselves with their teeth and claws, and shouted the word revenge.

Did she ever kill someone? Still is...... What did you do to hurt the heavens and reason, so that you would recruit a ghost to entangle yourself?

Li Qiongfeng felt Yushuang's gaze, and when he turned his head, his eyes were met, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then turned their faces away and shifted their gaze, not the expected heartbeat, but felt that there was a familiar smell between the two, just like friends who knew each other, but for some reason they became strange.

He sat up suddenly, and suddenly twisted his head in the direction of Yushuang, but the place just now was empty, and the embroidery frame was thrown on the ground, but Yushuang didn't know where to go.

Li Qiongfeng was excited in his heart, the thought just now made his blood circulate all over his body extremely quickly, and a ray of sunlight was suddenly projected on the dark and confused road, and he stood not far away, looking at the place illuminated by the sun, and secretly vowed that he must find the reason why he forgot everything.

Just thinking about it, a burst of piano suddenly sounded in his ears, Li Qiongfeng stood up, listened to it for a long time inexplicably, and saw that the maids around him were busy with their own work, slowly stood up, tentatively looking for the source of the sound, walked out of Bihuatai, and walked around to a long-abandoned courtyard in a few steps.

The sound of the piano came from inside, Li Qiongfeng swept away the weeds and bent down and walked in, there was a dry well in the yard, a swing that had been broken, turned his head, and next to the faded mahogany pillar was sitting a woman wearing a water-blue skirt, in which was a woman with a moon-white tattooed bandeau, her long hair shawl, and two jasper hairpins diagonally inserted in her bun.

The eyebrows are picturesque, although there is no smile on the face, but the obsidian-like eyes and the red lips have a charm that will suck people's souls.

And the arrogant appearance of playing the piano by himself has turned that already beautiful appearance into a unique taste.

Li Qiongfeng stood in place, before he could get close to the mahogany door behind him, it was suddenly pushed open with a 'crunch' sound, Yushuang's cheeks gradually revealed from behind, he was stunned, saw Yushuang's face full of panic, ran to himself, looked back at the woman, hesitated, and asked:

"Third master, why are you here?"

Li Qiongfeng pursed her lips and was silent, Yushuang took a deep breath, and continued with some embarrassment, "This girl was injured a few days ago, I thought that I would provide for her here for a few days, and then send her out later." ”

Yushuang saw that Li Qiongfeng never spoke, thinking that she was angry, so she hurriedly walked to the woman's side, opened her hand slightly, and there was an indescribable stubbornness on her obedient little face at this time.

Li Qiongfeng looked at her like an old hen protecting her cubs, and suddenly smiled, too familiar, this kind of stubbornness and hostility really made him too familiar, walked in front of Yushuang in two steps, and as soon as he raised his hand, he was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

No, scared, to be exact.

Under the woman's long skirt, a long white tail suddenly flicked, and her originally cold and beautiful appearance revealed two sharp teeth with her smile, and her facial features gradually distorted and changed into another look.

Is that...... A fox's face.
