The Liu family? I didn't react for a moment. But when he saw a small servant standing behind the old man, respectfully holding a tray in his hand, covered with a delicate cloth, he immediately thought that this must be the bounty given by the owner of the big mansion.

So we went downstairs, and Rui Wei kept walking towards him, while I stood far behind.

When the old man saw Rui Wei, he bowed to the ground and said, "You are Rui Wei girl!" I am Liu Ding, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, and I specially sent the bounty to the girl. ”

Rui Wei didn't step forward, and asked with a straight face, "How do you know that I am the one who should receive the bounty?" ”

Liu Ding smiled faintly and said: "The girl doesn't know, there is nothing in this Hejian County that my master doesn't know." ”

I listened to his tone, and I couldn't help but think to myself, if you really have such a great ability, why do you need an outsider to deal with those snakes?

Liu Ding saw that Rui Wei still didn't move and just looked at him suspiciously, so he turned his head and greeted me: "Little brother, come over and get the bounty for the girl!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Rui Wei, but she didn't look at me, lowered her head and said coldly to Liu Ding: "You probably recognized the wrong person, we are just outsiders passing by by accident, and we are useless, please take it back!" ”

Liu Ding was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he reacted immediately, and still said politely: "The little one is just a subordinate, he only does what the master tells him, no matter whether you accept it or not, I will leave it today." It is categorically impossible to take it back. ”

With a wave of his hand, he asked the guy behind him to put the tray on the table, and the idlers around him had already seen this scene in their eyes, and they also heard the "bounty" rhetoric, and they couldn't help but gather around, looking at the plate and ready to move.

I'm afraid that there will be more incidents if this continues, so I glanced at Rui Wei, and she said to Liu Ding helplessly: "Okay, let's take it first." When you turn around, you will be sent to the Lord. I don't want you to make a trip, and I don't send it. ”

Liu Ding saw that things had taken a turn for the better, so he was naturally overjoyed, and gave Rui Wei another salute, and turned around and left with the servant.

We quickly picked up the tray and took it back to the room upstairs.

As soon as I entered the house and closed the door, Rui Wei said to me: "You and the two of them go through the front door first, go outside the city and wait for me, I will take care of this thing and go to meet you!" ”

Although I saw that the old man was a little weird, I didn't understand what made Rui Wei refuse to accept these bounties, and wanted to ask what happened, but Rui Wei said eagerly: "Hurry up and go!" I'll explain that to you later! ”

In desperation, I had no choice but to quickly go downstairs, call Wang Shaoting and my father, pack my bags, drive a horse, and run out of the city.

Hurried out of the city, found a shade and stopped. Wang Shaoting poked his head out of the car and asked me, "Where did Rui Wei go?" Who came to her just now? ”

"It's the one who came to give the bounty." I say.

Wang Shaoting felt a little strange: "What happened to the person who sent the bounty?" Why leave in such a hurry? ”

"The person who gave the bounty is a little strange, even if he has seen Rui Wei, he shouldn't have seen me, but it seems that he naturally thinks that we are together." I say.

Wang Shaoting also groaned when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that we were watched last night?" ”

"I don't know," I said, "but it's not a good feeling to feel like we're in control." ”

He asked his father again: "You are well-informed, have you heard of the origin of the Liu family in this river?" ”

He thought for a moment and said: "When you say this, it seems that when you were chatting with my friend, he mentioned that there is a big family in the local area, who seems to be a royal prince, and all day long mysterious and secretive, and it is rumored that their house is not clean, and then it really happened to be a disaster, and the family moved away or something." I don't know if it's the Liu family you went to. ”

I felt uneasy in my heart, and I immediately regretted that I shouldn't have let Rui Wei act alone. After she took the bounty, she could only go to one place, and that was the Daoist Zhang, and I should follow her anyway.

After waiting for about half an hour, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he saw Rui Wei running over from afar.

"You're here!" I shouted at her.

"Well, let's go!" She waved at me, shouting.

I took her to the front and sat her down, and I rode forward. As he walked, he asked, "It's all taken care of?" ”

"Well, I've left all the bounties in the void." She said.

"Huh? All left, why? "I was surprised.

She squinted at me and said, "That's my stuff, why can't you keep it all?" ”

I hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, I mean to say, you have worked so hard for this, why don't you take a penny, I don't think that Taoist priest looks like a person who needs help!" ”

But Rui Wei didn't answer me, but took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve. When I looked at it, it seemed to be the silk handkerchief that Daoist Zhang gave her when he left.

She opened the handkerchief, leaned over to me, and said, "Look at it." ”

I looked sideways, and there was a figure drawn on it, one horizontal at the top, two short horizontal in the middle, and another horizontal at the bottom. What I've seen in this thing is the "leaving" hexagram in gossip.

"This ......," I mused, "really has a deep meaning, leaving, literally, and at the same time referring to the south, meaning let's go south?" ”

She glared at me and said, "What! You can see it clearly! ”

I took a closer look, and in the blank space under the big hexagram figure, there were two small characters written in red handwriting, which were written in a crooked and curvy manner, which was even more difficult to understand than the hexagram above.

"It'......," I squinted, hesitating as I looked.

"Let's go." Rui Wei said.

"Isn't this walking!" I raised the reins in my hand.

"I mean, those two words are: Hurry up." Rui Wei had an angry and funny expression.

"Look, I don't mean let's go! He wrote those two words as redundant. I laughed.

Rui Wei was speechless, put away the silk handkerchief, and ignored me.

I said as if talking to myself while driving: "This is strange, obviously he led you to Liu's house, and when you turned around, you solved the matter, and he played mysticism again, asking you to go quickly or something, what is his intention?" You believe in him so much? ”

Rui Wei was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I originally had some doubts in my heart, but I just think that we are just passing immortals anyway, and after the matter is resolved, take the money and leave, don't pay attention to so much, now it seems that I may have thought too simply." ”

"Oh? This is strange enough, but what is even more suspicious? ”

"Yes, when I investigated, I also heard a saying that their family was originally a little strange, and there were other residents around the house, but then they all began to encounter all kinds of strange things, some died unexpectedly, and some disappeared, and the people moved away one after another because they were afraid. It had been a long time since everyone suspected that the house was unclean. But their family really asked people to hunt ghosts, and it only started this year. ”

"It's strange, is it because their family hasn't been victimized for the time being, so they don't want to sit on this matter?" I'm also puzzled.

"Well, I originally planned to let Zhang Yuzhao get his name after the matter was settled, and I only needed a bounty. Therefore, during the investigation, they all inquired from the side, and did not have direct contact with their families. The Liu Ding who came to pass the word, I met him once at the door of the place where the Liu family lives now, and I only took a face-to-face photo, so I know him, he shouldn't know me. As a result, she didn't know my name and knew where I lived. ”

I nodded and said, "There were so many people around you when he came just now, and he shouldn't have known that I was with you, but it seems like he already knew." ”

Rui said worriedly: "It seems that our every move is completely well understood!" ”

"Anyway," I said, "now that we're out of the river, we don't have to worry about anything strange about it." It's a pity that the fifty taels of gold! ”

"You know gold!" Rui said angrily. Then he looked into the distance, his little face was tense, as if he couldn't let go.

But I think she also understands the situation we are in, even if everyone has a curiosity that is suppressed in their chests, and they can only stay in the dark for a while.

After walking south for a while, we still left the official road, and turned into the small road to the southwest, compared to the official road this road is much more difficult to walk, it was already narrow, after a section, a river appeared on the right side, and as the terrain gradually increased, it sank into a mountain stream, and the slope of the hill on the left side became more and more steep, and it was extremely steep, and our carriage became as if walking on the mountainside.

Today's weather is not particularly good, a little gloomy but not raining, and the air is full of hot and humid feeling, which makes it difficult to feel happy.

I drove my horse cautiously, hoping that the road would pass quickly.

When he came to a corner, he suddenly heard a faint "rumbling", and felt an extra tremor in the bump of the carriage itself.

This is...... I followed the prestige, and saw from a distance that there were several large rocks rolling down towards us on the top of the mountain next to me, although occasionally hindered by the grass and trees in the middle of the mountain, the speed was constantly accelerating, and it was only a few dozen meters away from us!

The horses were affected by the tremors and neighed uneasily, and it was definitely too late to drive away!

I was in a hurry, turned around and lifted the curtain, grabbed the arms of Father Yan and Wang Shaoting and dragged them out, while shouting: "There are falling rocks, run away!" ”

Rui Wei and I saw the falling rocks at the same time and had already jumped out of the car, but in the face of this sudden crisis, I was also in a mess for a while!

It was only a few seconds, and the boulder was already overwhelmingly pressing, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I shouted to the three of them: "Come with me!" Then he walked to the edge of the cliff next to him, slipped down the edge and stepped on the protruding stones, and climbed the edge of the cliff with his hands, clinging to the cliff to keep it from falling.

The three of them immediately understood, and quickly followed us to take refuge, and almost at the same time, we heard only a few loud "bangs", mixed with the neighing of horses, and several large rocks mixed with dust, grass clippings, and countless fragments of carriages whistling over our heads, and falling straight into the river below, but because the momentum was too strong, it did not hurt us hanging on the edge of the cliff.

After a long time, the four of us still had palpitations and did not dare to move until we heard that there was no sound at all above, and we breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go up?" Rui Wei said.

I held out a finger and shook it at her, and then made a "shhhhh
