Chapter 340: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Shu'er, Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi were familiar with the road, and took Yang Yi and Wei Ergou all the way through the alley, and I don't know how long they walked, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou felt that there was a courtyard house full of low.

Walking through the labyrinthine alley, Li Shu'er took Yang Yi and Wei Ergou around a few times, and suddenly flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were startled, at first they thought that Li Shu'er had slipped to er, but when they looked again, they found that Li Shu'er was already standing on a long corridor ten steps away from them and waving at them, and Na De'er's expression was still very clear in the moonlight.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were wondering to themselves, and after taking a closer look at the surrounding houses, they instantly understood why Li Shu'er chose to hide here. Originally, this large area of dwellings is a typical northern courtyard style dwelling, which is characterized by the separation of the houses that make up the courtyard, but the houses are connected or not connected by corridors, and each house has a solid exterior eaves decoration, the courtyard area surrounded by the houses is larger, the doors and windows are facing the inner courtyard, and the exterior is covered with thick walls. The roof truss structure adopts a beam-lifting frame.

On the one hand, this form of dwelling can accept the cool natural wind in summer and have a spacious outdoor activity space, and can obtain more abundant sunshine in winter and avoid the invasion of cold winds.

At this point, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou fully understood why Li Shu'er chose this place as their hiding place.

Seeing Yang Yi and Wei Ergou there in a daze, Liu Ruoxue stepped forward and kicked the two of them hard, and said, "Stupid, let's go!" ”

"Ahh Yang Yi and Wei Ergou nodded hurriedly, followed Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi into a door, and then passed through a shadow wall, only to see the corridor where Li Shu'er appeared, God knows how Li Shu'er's legs and feet are so neat, he can run away in the blink of an eye, if he didn't vomit blood just now, would he have to jump directly on the roof.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and followed Li Shu'er into a courtyard house at the end of the cloister.

An old man stood in the courtyard with a lantern, his eyebrows and beard covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and he looked like he had been waiting for a long time in the cold night.

"Old fairy, you're back, but you're worried about the death of the little old man, go to the house quickly, the little old man has already built a stove and scalded the vegetarian wine, and you and a few brothers and sisters warm up, and the little old man will arrange for the little one to go to watch the wind." As soon as the old man saw that Uncle Li was back, he hurriedly greeted him, and said babbling in his mouth.

"Oh, you old thing, this dead cold day, what are you doing here, come in, come in." Seeing that the old man's beard was white, Uncle Li felt deeply unsatisfied, and at the same time, there was a burst of warmth in his heart, justice was in the hearts of the people, no matter how the government and Shen Ruchao slandered themselves, these simple villagers were willing to risk their lives to protect themselves, and what they never forgot was the little favor they had helped them in the first place, how could it not make people feel emotional.

At that moment, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou followed Li Shu'er into a room with a mixed structure of brick and earth, the room has an inner and outer suite, and a larger one outside, with rough and unpainted rough wooden tables and chairs, on the table is a coarse porcelain oil lamp, and a jar of old wine soaked in hot water, on the table is just a few dishes such as sauced beef, sticky cakes, etc., but a pot of charcoal fire in the center of the ground is burning, roasting the whole house is spring, so that Yang Yi and Wei Ergou are happy to put the jar they are carrying aside, I sat down in my chair and let out a long breath of comfort.

Through Uncle Li's introduction, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou knew that the old man's name was Zhang Xiwang, when the old wife was sweeping the tomb, he was haunted by the evil ghost, and he was about to die, but fortunately, Uncle Li took the initiative to come to Zhang's house after hearing it, and fought hard with the three ghosts who wanted to find a substitute, so that the life of Zhang Xiwang's old wife was saved.

It is also based on his trust in Zhang Xiwang that after Li Shu'er took Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi to get out of the mansion, the first thing he thought of was to go to Zhang Xiwang to avoid the limelight for a while, and then plan for the next step in the long run.

After settling Li Shu'er, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, Liu Ruoxue, and Zhongli Yiyi, Zhang Xiwang knew that there must be important matters to discuss between Li Shu'er and these apprentices, so after pouring wine and serving a meal for them, he closed the door and went out to watch the wind without mentioning it.

After half a night of intense and exciting fighting, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou did not feel hungry, but they felt dry and bitter in their mouths, seeing the clear old wine, integrating their minds, they were not humble, they took the bowl and drank it dry, two bowls of mellow wine went down, the two of them blushed and looked at Uncle Li and smiled: "Uncle, should you tell us something?" ”

"If you want to talk about this, it's really a child without a mother, it's a long story, hehe" Uncle Li sat at the table, beckoned Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi to sit down, took a sip of wine first, and then took a sip of his thoughts, and then spoke slowly.

It turned out that in the face of the tragedy of Lu Jingtian's mansion in Cangzhou City, the disappearance of a big family surnamed Chen in the south of the city, the bizarre fire in the mansion after Li Shu'er and them left, and a series of strange things such as the mysterious courtyard house that once hid ancient wells and crazy bones, Li Shu'er always felt that there seemed to be some kind of internal connection between all of them with his years of experience in walking the rivers and lakes, vertical and horizontal yin and yang, so after coming back this time, he specially chose to live in the Cangzhou Mansion, which is like taking advantage of the advantages of many people, more information, and more clues coming and going from the mansion. See if you can find the looming thread that ties it all together.

But what Uncle Li didn't expect was that he checked and checked, but unexpectedly found that there were many doubts about Shen Ruchao, and this was indeed beyond Uncle Li's expectations, and even Uncle Li subconsciously always resisted and never wanted to admit it, because, in Uncle Li's impression, Shen Ruchao was full of poetry and books, ambitious, sympathetic and loving to the people, and honest in government, let the blood stain their own hands that should have been a wonderful hand to write the article? What is his motive?
