Chapter 162: Nothing to do and wait for the east wind to blow
Xiao Yue asked anxiously, "What happened to that old study?"
Ah Niu thought for a while and said: "The lock on the door in the study has been opened, I pushed the door open and walked in, and found that there was a lot of dust inside, but there were no insects. ”
Xiao Yue thought of the footprints she saw last time, and she hurriedly asked, "Are there footprints on the ground?"
"Yes, and ... Ah Niu thought for a while and said, "Some of the footprints have been lightened by the dust, but there are still some footprints that are obvious. ”
Xiao Yue was afraid to go to the study, she could only ask Ah Niu, "Most of the obvious footprints you see are new, do you look carefully at the footprints of one person, or are they multiple people?"
Ah Niu thought about it again and said, "In the past, the old footprints seemed to have two or three people, but later the new footprints were only one person. ”
Xiao Yue asked again: "Are the new footprints the same compared to the old footprints before, or are they different?"
Maybe it was because he was used to it, Ah Niu still subconsciously scratched his inch head, and then said: "I didn't pay attention to it, but it looks similar." ”
Xiaoyue felt that this matter was still a bit serious, after all, there was no one living in the back garden now, Ah Niu and Steward Huang lived in the front hall, and the backyard was locked at night to prevent people from entering or leaving, and she was not at ease to let Ah Niu live alone in the back garden.
Xiao Yue lowered her head and pondered for a long time, she suddenly came up with a plan, she said to Ah Niu: "Ah Niu, Linglong should make pastries in the kitchen now, you go to her and ask for some flour, and then sprinkle the flour thinly on the floor of the old study." ”
"Okay. Ah Niu always remembered the rules that Xiaoyue taught him, that is, he couldn't ask more and say more, he just had to do what she told him.
Watching Ah Niu leave the study, Xiao Yue thought to herself that this person seemed to regard his back garden as a no-man's land, and if he didn't think of any way, he would be bullied casually.
However, she thought about it again, this person came and went in her own house, but she didn't bother herself, she was afraid that he was also a passerby, but the fact that he knew his identity was still more troublesome.
After a while, Xiao Yue saw Ah Niu carrying a big basin and walking towards the old study, and when he sprinkled the ground with flour, then the next time this person came, he would find that Xiao Yue was guarded, at least not so unscrupulous.
After Ah Niu did all this, Yun Yan also came back.
"Childe, the people who came sent them away, but when I was about to go to Wenfu, I met Mu Shi on the road, and he said that Lord Wen would come to you in the afternoon and let you not go out. ”
"Oh, okay. It's almost noon when you see the sky, you go and see if lunch is ready, although I'm not very hungry yet, but I'm afraid that Lord Wen will come in a while, so let's eat on time. ”
"Okay. Yun Yan hadn't come to sit down for a while, and rushed to the kitchen again.
After Xiao Yue saw her leave, she stared at the old study room thoughtfully.
Accompanied by Xu Chengchang afterwards, she went to see the wall, and she found that the wall in the back garden was completely adjacent to King Mu's Mansion, which showed that the man in black was probably inextricably linked to King Mu's Mansion.
I don't know why, a person suddenly appeared in her mind, it was the man who had snatched wontons and river lanterns with her, she had a self-consciousness, she felt that he was the man in black, but she was not sure, after all, she had been photographed a few times, and now she hoped to meet this person again, she must find out his identity.
At noon, Yun Yan came to invite Xiaoyue to lunch, and everyone in the family ate in the front hall, except for Lao Chen, he always liked to accompany his horse to eat.
After eating, Xiao Yue explained some things about the New Year to Steward Huang, because Steward Huang left home for the first time and spent the New Year in other places, so Xiao Yue allowed him to go home to see it after the New Year, but during the New Year, he still needs to take care of it inside and outside the house.
Linglong didn't want to go home either, she felt that the days with Xiaoyue were her happiest days, and she told Xiaoyue that it would be good to send her moon silver home.
Lao Chen is a lonely old man, and he definitely has no place to celebrate the New Year, so he also stayed in Yingyue Xuan.
Not to mention Xu Chengchang and Yun Yan, they must accompany Xiaoyue for the New Year, so that although there is no Xiaolan to accompany her this year, Xiaoyue should be able to have a lively year.
After the explanation, Xiao Yue took Yun Yan back to the study, and then took out the account books at home and prepared the New Year's reward and moon silver.
The two of them were talking in the study, and before they knew it, it was afternoon, and they didn't even know when Wen Youyou entered the house.
Wen Youyou knew that Xiaoyue had been very busy recently, and had bought a new inn, so he asked Mu Shi to inform Xiaoyue in advance, so as not to run in vain.
When he came to Yingyue Xuan, Steward Huang didn't need to inform Xiaoyue, and he was familiar with the way, he took Mu Shi and walked all the way to the back garden, but looking at the study from a distance, he found that there was a man standing at the door of the study.
This discovery made Wen Youyou a little uncomfortable, at first watching Xu Chengchang do things here in Xiaoyue, and then living together, he felt awkward for a while, and finally looked pleasing to the eye, why did a strange man come again.
Wen Youyou was trying to ask Xiao Yue to understand, but before she could reach the door of the study, she was stopped by this man.
"Who are you?"
Wen Youyou found that this person was as tall and short as himself, and the strange thing was that he had a cloth towel on his face, and he couldn't see his appearance, and his head was cut short, as if he had escaped from prison.
If it weren't for the simplicity and vigilance in his eyes, he would definitely think that this person was either a traitor or a thief.
"Who are you?"
Ah Niu did not show weakness and said: "You are a guest, you should register first!"
When Wen Youyou heard this, he was angry, "I'm a guest, then what are you?!" After speaking, he was about to bypass Ah Niu and walk out of the study.
But unexpectedly, Ah Niu's figure was very flexible, and he immediately kept up with Wen Youyou's pace and blocked him again.
"Until you make your identity clear, I won't let you get close to Childe!"
Wen Youyou learned the art of strengthening the body in Qingshan, which is actually fist and foot kung fu, he saw Ah Niu like this, and he also had fighting spirit in his heart, and the two of them compared in the back garden.
"Did you say you wouldn't let you, see if you have the ability!" Wen Youyou took a sharp step forward to the right, and then walked straight to the study.
Ah Niu saw that his clothes were not ordinary, although he had doubts, but he was also worried that if he let people in, the son would blame himself, so he turned to the right rear side, pushed his feet to the ground, and fell lightly in front of Wen Youyou, blocking his way.
Wen Youyou saw that this person was in a strange shape, but his kung fu was not weak, and he had the intention to test it, so he slashed at his front face.
Unexpectedly, Ah Niu's reaction was really fast, and he turned his head again, dodging his palm.
Wen Youyou didn't expect him to react so quickly, and he didn't dare to underestimate him for a while.
