Passing through the long corridor outside the miscellaneous department, walking along the deserted forest path, a stick of incense, then walked to an empty and overgrown courtyard, Shen Qiuyu brushed away the weeds, walked in, but saw a gray-clothed old woman trembling and cleaning the courtyard.

Seeing that it was early autumn, although there were not many fallen leaves, the dust and weeds made the whole courtyard even more gloomy, Shen Qiuyu moved slowly, approached the old woman, and called softly, "Dumb mother-in-law." ”

The old woman's sweeping hand froze, and when she saw Shen Qiuyu, she was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly put the broom aside, wiped her calloused hands, took the food sent by Shen Qiuyu, and cast a grateful look at her.

Shen Qiuyu also seemed to be accustomed to this kind of silent communication, and said with a smile: "Dumb mother-in-law doesn't have to be so polite, I think that when I was studying in this Taiyuan Miscellaneous Service Department, I didn't cause you much trouble, and I came to talk to you every night, you can not dislike me, it already makes me very happy." ”

The dumb mother-in-law waved her hand and pointed to Shen Qiuyu's lips, but saw Shen Qiuyu take her hand and said, "You don't need to pour tea for me to drink, I'm not thirsty, but I really want to ask the dumb mother-in-law for help today." ”

Shen Qiuyu told the dumb mother-in-law the details in the courtyard, and the dumb mother-in-law first shook her body after hearing it, and then her eyes were filled with tears.

"This is the forged robe of the great hall, torn into this...... It's a lot of work to think about, mother-in-law, if you can't recover, don't be embarrassed, I'll find a way. ”

The dumb mother-in-law patted Shen Qiuyu's hand lightly, and then picked up the sleeve of the brocade robe and looked at it carefully, this gaze did not seem to be looking at the degree of tearing of the sleeve, but like looking for something.

"What is my mother-in-law looking for?

Shen Qiuyu asked like this, the dumb mother-in-law seemed to know something, she shook her head hurriedly, and then made a few gestures, which could be regarded as Shen Qiuyu's words to help her restore the sleeves of this forging robe.

"Then there is Granny Lao, today I brought you your favorite peach blossom soup, and now that it is close to early autumn, there will be no fresh peach blossoms, and the taste will be slightly worse, mother-in-law should not mind. ”

The dumb mother-in-law smiled, and then sat down with Shen Qiuyu's help, opened the food box and took out the food, and ate it carefully.

"Mother-in-law, you eat slowly, I still have to practice today, so I won't accompany you much, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

Shen Qiuyu was about to leave, but she heard the dumb mother-in-law pull the corner of her clothes a few times with a few "hums", looked into the wing room of the dilapidated courtyard, and motioned Shen Qiuyu to go to the inner room with her to take a look.

"Mother-in-law, you shouldn't be living here forever, are you?"

The dumb mother-in-law did not respond, but took Shen Qiuyu into the house slowly, although the furnishings of the house here are old, but every object has not fallen dust, and the overall structure is clean and tidy, which is enough to see that the dumb mother-in-law has lived here for many years and is diligent in cleaning.

Seeing these tiny details, Shen Qiuyu couldn't help but glance at the dumb mother-in-law, but the dumb mother-in-law walked straight inside, took out a delicate box, carefully opened it and took out an object, handed it to Shen Qiuyu, and took the object wrapped in red cloth.

"Mother-in-law, this emerald bracelet ...... It's too expensive for me to accept. ”

Shen Qiuyu put the bracelet away again and handed it to the dumb mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, this emerald bracelet has been with you for a long time, and it can be preserved so well, it must be the thing in my mother-in-law's heart, and I can't accept it." ”

The dumb mother-in-law smiled knowingly, pushed the package back to Shen Qiuyu, and then moistened the ink, and wrote tremblingly on the rice paper: "The phoenix among people can bear this thing." ”

"Mother-in-law, you can actually write!" Shen Qiuyu's pupils shrank slightly.

The dumb mother-in-law put down the green ink pen in her hand, sighed slightly, and then looked out of the window in a distracted manner. ”

Shen Qiuyu was shocked, closed the door of the house, stood on one side, and always stared at the amazing transformation of the dumb mother-in-law.

"It's just that the situation of this Taiyuan sect is too complicated, and the old man has to pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to protect himself, and he is still alive in the deserted backyard of this miscellaneous department. ”

"Mother-in-law, you...... Isn't there any problem?"

Shen Qiuyu sat down and took the rough hand of the dumb mother-in-law, "Over the years, you have been cleaning the courtyard here alone, and your life is so poor, why do you want to be here?"

"It's a long story, Miss Shen, you are so kind-hearted, the old body really doesn't want you to get involved in this struggle with no turning back. ”

"Mother-in-law...... Qiu Yu is immoral and incompetent, but I hope to share my mother-in-law's worries, no matter what, I will keep these secrets for you. ”

Shen Qiuyu saw that the dumb mother-in-law hesitated slightly, and hurriedly put her fingers together, wanting to swear to the heavens, but was stopped by the dumb mother-in-law, "Silly girl, over the years, the old body has also understood your temperament and temperament, and knows that you are not willing to succumb to the gray level and be a disciple of the outer mountains, have you ever considered your future development?"

"I haven't thought about it, it's just that others always say that I'm a fool and a dream. Shen Qiuyu smiled helplessly.

"You have a bad fate, but you have your own Qiankun Star Array, the old body gave you this emerald bracelet is just a pity, you must not be good to take it with you, it will come in handy at a critical moment. ”

Shen Qiuyu's face was puzzled, and he looked at the dumb mother-in-law in confusion, but saw the dumb mother-in-law getting up with difficulty, walked to the door of the house, and sighed: "The old body is also a person who is about to enter the earth with half of his body, and he could have told the girl the cause and effect, but the reincarnation of heaven has its own fixed number, and the old body can only tell you that the old body once followed the king of Changyuan to fight the country, and then accompanied the main hall all the way, but it was just ......"

Shen Qiuyu didn't make a sound, but listened carefully to the dumb mother-in-law Xu: "It's just that time has passed, and the old body has finally been defeated by those dirty past things that know too much about the royal family and will be killed and killed." ”

"Sure enough. ”

Shen Qiuyu sighed after hearing this, but once again hated Nangong Jun's behavior, and then asked, "Then, this forging robe can be regarded as a problem set for me by the main hall?"

"This Changyuan Hall Nangong Jun is like the king of Changyuan Shangnangong Yong, he is suspicious by nature, the girl stands up for that disciple like this, can she think about her own safety?"

Shen Qiuyu bit her lip and fell into deep thought, it was indeed a little too reckless according to her temperament, if she had waited and watched the changes before, would the situation have become different.

"It's just that the old body will restore the forged robe for the girl, and the girl will also have a condition according to the old body. ”
