Ping'an County Ya.

Wei Cheng is in the courtyard, oh no.... Now it should be the successor, the jailer and the half-hanged son as Xu Zhou's courtyard.

Wei Dao left, and this courtyard naturally fell into Xu Zhou's name.

It is said that a house for white prostitutes is still very fragrant, but I don't know if the county government will take it back in the future, if they take advantage of Wei Dao's absence, take back the yard, or assign it to other servants, it will be greatly impossible.

The yard was wet because of the rain that had just fallen.

The scenery in the courtyard is still the same, with old locust trees, ancient wells, and several gray tile houses...... And maidens and cats.

Jiang Hongdou moved out of the house and put it on the steps under the eaves, his straight and slender legs were naturally close together, and the little black boy with his own fast movements, one step ahead of the other old black cats, jumped on Jiang Hongdou's knees first, his head rubbed back and forth in the girl's arms, and his round eyes were open, as if to say: "Hey, little fairy, come and stroke me, come and stroke me, come and stroke me......"

The girl sitting on the pony "looked" ahead, stretched out her snow-white hand, put it on the head of the little black cat, and stroked it along its back, from top to bottom.

Xu Zhou, who was sweeping the floor in the courtyard, saw it, stopped his movements, and reminded with a broom: "Senior sister, don't hold it, that little thing loves to lose hair the most, and the clothes are hard to wash." ”

After Wei Dao left, Jiang Hongdou's daily life all fell on Xu Zhou, who was a big resentment, cooking and washing clothes on weekdays, and everything was not lost, this is the price of playing and cultivating, not like at home, food to open the mouth, clothes to stretch out the hand.

"It's fine." Jiang Hongdou chuckled.

The evening breeze blows through the ends of the hair, simple and beautiful.

Forehead..... You don't have to do the laundry, it's fine. After quickly sweeping the floor, Xu Zhou went to make a fire to cook: "Senior sister, what do you want to eat tonight?" Senior brother will do it for you. ”

Jiang Hongdou thought for a while and said, "Soy milk." ”

"How can anyone drink soy milk at night?"

"That.... Face? Jiang Hongdou paused.

"Okay!"

Well, it's that Xu Zhou simply wants to eat noodles, as a pure northern man, Xu Zhou likes to eat pasta more than rice.

After a while, two bowls of steaming noodles are out of the pot, topped with fragrant pork dumplings, sprinkled with a pinch of chopped green onions, and it is very appetizing to watch.

The two sisters and brothers sat side by side, both holding a big bowl of noodles in their hands, and they were so happy that they were not happy.

"Hiccup~"

Xu Zhou burped, took the lead in eating a large bowl of noodles, got up and went back to the kitchen to fill a large bowl of noodle soup, and when he came back, he inadvertently asked, "Senior sister, why can't you see with your eyes?" ”

After getting along for so many days, Xu Zhou still couldn't resist his curiosity.

According to Wei Dao's previous statement, Jiang Hongdou was suffering from a serious illness three years ago, and his eyes suddenly couldn't see, and his eyes were forced to be covered with white silk two fingers wide.

But this reason is obviously not convincing, how can any evil disease suddenly make the eyes blind?

Shouldn't it be a gradual process when the eye can't see?

Like myopia? Presbyopia?

Therefore, Xu Zhou felt that there was another hidden secret.

Jiang Hongdou put down the chopsticks and talked about her eyes, but the girl did not avoid it, but replied generously: "There is something wrong with the practice." ”

Xu Zhou raised his eyebrows and nodded secretly..... Sure enough, Senior Sister Cheng didn't deceive me, unlike the bad old man who ran away, and didn't say a word of truth in his mouth.

"Have you seen the doctor?"

"Master showed it, and said that it was not easy to treat." Jiang Hongdou continued to snort, his pink lips were full of juice, and Xu Zhou's heart tightened.

"Then the old man still sees a doctor..... Well, he does see a doctor. Halfway through Xu Zhou's words, he suddenly remembered that Wei Dao also had the name of a southern divine doctor, so he changed his words and immediately persuaded: "It's okay, the world is too dirty, out of sight and out of mind." ”

"But I still want to see it..... Haven't seen enough yet. ”

Xu Zhou looked at the serious look on the girl's face, and he didn't feel good in his heart: "What does Senior Sister want to see?" Senior brother will take you tomorrow. ”

"Really?" Jiang Hongdou shouted happily, raised his eyebrows, and his waist was subconsciously straight, but the next moment the momentum of the whole person weakened again: "Forget it, the big companion won't let me run around." ”

"It's okay, we can dress up a little so that acquaintances can't recognize us, so we can go out... Anyway, I haven't visited the capital yet, I heard that the Confucius Temple is very lively, every night falls, the lanterns on the whole street will be lit up, reflecting the same as the day, dignitaries and nobles rush to go out, talented and beautiful people chant poems against each other..... Senior sister should accompany junior brother to go shopping?"

When Jiang Hongdou heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose an arc.

The last little head melon was like a chicken pecking rice, and nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay." ”

.......

Imperial City Division, Imperial Prison.

A bottomless underground cage, dark and dark.

A few dim oil lamps emitted a faint light in the corridor, and today the edict welcomed a new guest, nicknamed Playboy, who is a member of the Demon Sect and one of the most talked about in the capital recently.

Interrogation cell, a man in a single coat, wielding a rattan whip in his hand, tirelessly.

In the middle of the way, the playboy was pumped and passed out several times.

But he was woken up by the man in various ways, and then smoked again, which was bound to gnaw off the hard bone of the playboy and get some real material out of his mouth.

At the beginning, the playboy could still hum a few times in pain, but now he can't make any sound in his mouth, and he is at the mercy of others.

The man was tired of pumping, so he sat down and drank a bowl of water to rest for a while, and then changed to another person to continue smoking.

"Damn, it's a really hard mouth."

"It's not.... It's the same as the first few times I came in. ”

"Grandma's, what's wrong with being alive, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the demon taught them to do, making them so desperate."

"Who knows...."

The two men chatted without a mouthful, listening to their words, the people of the Demon Sect seemed to be the same.

Smack-

The sound of the whip drowned out the conversation between the two men.

The interrogation lasted until the next morning, when the sky showed the first whiteness of the fish's belly. Looking at the playboy hanging in mid-air, he couldn't find a complete piece of skin on his body. Before leaving, the man broke the mouth of the young man and fed him a bowl of brown decoction.

This decoction has a saying, it has the purpose of relieving pain and strengthening the spirit, so that the playboy will not even be able to survive today.

The large iron door of the interrogation room creaked shut.

The room was silent, and only the faint breathing of the playboy could be heard.

I don't know how long later, the playboy suddenly had a convulsion all over his body, trembling incessantly, and the chains on his limbs rattled incessantly.

A little finger-long, dark red little insect slowly crawled out of the playboy's mouth, the worm had antennae, the head poked out first, and the antennae searched the air to distinguish the direction.

"Bah."

The little bug landed on the ground and crawled out through the crack in the door with great speed.

The playboy's half-closed eyes slowly closed, a bleak smile appeared on his face, and his lips murmured: "The Divine Cult is immortal......"
