The sky is like ink, and it returns at night.

In recent days, the capital has stopped a lot, both openly and secretly, and even the gates of the four sides have been opened as usual, allowing people to go out of the city and enter the city. Xu Zhou originally planned to go out of the city on these two days and go to Lujiazhuang outside the city and Yun Niang's hometown to have a look, but tomorrow he will go to Yipin Xiangfu Lou again, and the date of going to Lujiazhuang to pick up Yun Niang has to be postponed.

In the past few days, Xu Zhou has somehow panicked in his heart, like a big stone hanging on his chest, as if something big was about to happen.

It is said that a woman's sixth sense is very accurate, Xu Zhou feels that his sixth sense is sometimes very accurate, he is just hoping in his heart now, Yun Niang in the countryside is really as the Bai family's cousin said, but there are many things in the countryside, and there are many relatives in the Lu family, so it takes a lot of time to visit one by one, and he will not be able to come back for a while.

Qingshui Street, the old residence of the Xu family.

Xu Zhou cleaned up his mood, leaned on the door and listened for a long time, but he didn't hear the sound of the rushing water, so he pushed the door in with peace of mind.

If not, if he sees something that shouldn't be seen, Xu Zhou is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed, and he is even more afraid that the cousin of the Bai family will wait for Yun Niang to come home and complain: Cousin, brother-in-law is a shameless thief, peeking at me taking a bath!

That, Xu Zhou really can't speak.

Pushing the door in, the courtyard was quiet, and the cousin of the Bai family had already slept.

Xu Zhou casually plugged in the door bolt, tiptoed, and went back to the house to sleep.

Rub –

Suddenly, in the darkness, a cold light flashed.

The sound of a long metal whistle sounded, and Xu Zhou wanted to hide, but it was too late.

What a fast sword!

Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, dozens of long sword remnants appeared in front of him. The sound of whirring swords kept ringing in my ears, and each sound heralded the long sword piercing my ears.

In the courtyard, the white harrier eagle held a sword in his right hand, with Xu Zhou as the center, and played a set of nameless sword moves.

If he made a mistake, Xu Zhou would go to see the king of Hades.

A quarter of an hour later, the white harrier retracted his sword and returned it to its sheath, with a high ponytail on his head, even more chic and uninhibited, but his face was still gloomy, and he seemed to be still angry with last night.

Xu Zhou suppressed the heart that was about to jump out, exhaled a breath of turbidity, stretched out his thumb and exclaimed:

"Cousin, good swordsmanship!"

"You know swords, too?"

The white harrier eagle held the sword in his arms, glanced sideways contemptuously, and asked rhetorically.

"I don't understand." Xu Zhou shook his head, hurriedly diverted the topic, and said, "Cousin, why don't you sleep so late?"

"Waiting for you!"

Xu Zhou subconsciously took a step back, uneasy in his heart: "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”

"Kill you!"

The white harrier eagle shot a resentful gaze directly, and Xu Zhou only felt that it was cold from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit cover, and his death was not far away.

Last night, I accidentally bumped into it and looked the white harrier eagle up and down.

This morning, Xu Zhou ran away before dawn, afraid of facing the white harrier eagle, I don't know how to explain, it's good now, my cousin's anger has not disappeared, and he wants to kill!

"My cousin is really joking, it's late at night, let's go back to the house and sleep early." Xu Zhou pretended to be calm, and made a joke, and wanted to bypass the white harrier eagle in front of him.

Knowing this, Xu Zhou would not come back to sleep, and it was not impossible to get together for one night in the county office.

Xu Zhou went to the left, and the white harrier eagle followed to the left, always blocking in front of Xu Zhou, not taking a step.

"Don't make a fuss."

"I didn't mess with you."

Xu Zhou was helpless, knowing that the white harrier eagle was angry, and he would have killed it long ago, but he still had to wait?

"What happened last night was really a misunderstanding, my brother-in-law will compensate you for it, even if this matter is over, okay..."

The white harrier eagle wrinkled his nose and snorted softly: "You still dare to say it?" ”

As he was talking, he was about to draw his sword again, but Xu Zhou hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." All the mistakes are my brother-in-law's fault..... That's it, what do you want, my brother-in-law bought it back and apologized for you, do you think it's good? ”

The white harrier eagle pushed Xu Zhou away with one palm, widened the distance between the two, and said, "Forget the apology...... Today my cousin has a letter from the country, and in the house, you can read it for yourself. ”

The wind is howling!

Xu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything more, and rushed into the house like a 100-meter sprint.

The White Harrier Eagle shook his head in the back, muttering in his heart: I don't know how long the few letters left by the sect leader can last.

Before Lu Yun left, he had imagined today's situation, so he left a few letters in advance, and instructed the white harrier eagle that if he couldn't stop it, he could take it out, and a letter could be delayed for several days, and these letters could be delayed for as long as two months, to say the least.

Entering the hall, Xu Zhou saw a letter on the table, he hurriedly moved a stool and sat down at the table, rubbing his hands and looking forward to Yun Niang's letter.

The candle was placed in a corner of the table, emitting a dim candle light.

Xu Zhou picked up the letter and glanced up and down, the dark yellow ordinary envelope was sealed with wax, and the cover was written with six big characters: "Husband Xu Zhou personally opened".

The font is delicate, the strokes are rounded, and it is pleasing to the eye.

Xu Zhou couldn't wait to open the wax seal, poured out two thin pieces of folding letter paper from it, unfolded it, and looked at it from beginning to end.

"Xiaozhou, seeing the words like faces, has been separated for a few days, and I miss it very much.

It's a bit boring to stay in the country, I get along with some chickens, ducks and geese every day, they don't like me, they always chase and peck me behind their buttocks, and I really can't run away from them, and they peck all over the yard and shout...... In the end, it was after the younger brothers and sisters laughed that they stepped forward to help me out. ”

Xu Zhou read, unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, chuckled, and shook his head.

Just imagine: every day, there is a girl in a cloth skirt and embroidered shoes, who is chased around by the chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, wah-wow, and several children sit on the threshold in unison, laughing and rolling forwards and backwards.

This picture is very warm and funny to think about.

Read on:

"In addition to the annoying chickens, ducks and geese in the countryside, there are many interesting things, such as flowers all over the mountain, blooming from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which are beautiful and beautiful; There is a small river in the east of Zhuangzi, the river is not wide, but there are a lot of fish in it, every three or five times, Xiaowen Xiaowu and the two of them, will take me to the river secretly to catch fish and touch shrimp, by the way, there are crabs, it hurts to clamp people...

In addition to these, I have visited my neighborhood every day for half a year, taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, as well as the kind and kind village chief.... On the third day after returning to the countryside, some relatives came to the house, and after that, the news somehow spread, and people came to the door every day, and I had to go out to return the gift, which was very troublesome.

By the way, I also went to Bai's house, and met my cousin's mother, who was a kind and kind old woman, and she asked me where my cousin had been all these years, and asked me if I had seen my cousin, and why didn't my cousin come home to take a look, and I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I could only tell a little lie, and I didn't know if it was right to do so..... I was so entangled,"

Looking at it like this, the letter quickly reached the second page.

"Xiaozhou, I'm sorry. I still have to go home for a month, the situation in the countryside is very complicated, I can't say a word, you don't have to worry about me at home, I can take care of myself. ”

"How are you at home? Is the liquor store still open as usual? You can make a lot of money in a day, but don't let the liquor store stop. ”

"Lu Yun's own handwriting."

The letter ended abruptly, and the corners of Xu Zhou's upturned mouth never let go.

In the silent hall, the needles could be heard, and the dim candle flame swayed from side to side.

Xu Zhou put the letter written by Yun Niang on the table, went to the late Daddy Xu's tablet table, opened the drawer, and took out the pen and ink that was not often used from it.

Laying paper, grinding, Xu Zhou thought that no matter what, he should reply to a letter.

In the old inkstone, which is still missing a corner, the ink paste gradually takes shape, exuding a unique ink fragrance.

When he was about to pick up a pen and dip it in ink to write a letter, Xu Zhou's nose inhaled slightly, smelled a familiar smell, and his face was stunned.

I don't know what the hours were, and it wasn't until the sound of the bangs on the street that Xu Zhou came back to his senses.

The brand-new letter paper on the table, the ink drops dripping from the tip of the pen, the mud soaked in the lake, and the large black patch of the letterhead, obviously could not be used anymore.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the four delicate small characters "Lu Yun's handwriting" on the table, Xu Zhou laughed dumbly, his body trembled, his laughter was intermittent, and he was a little crazy in the night.

At this moment, Xu Zhou seemed to understand.

Many clues are gathered in one place, and things are gradually becoming clear.

Why is the ink block in the study of the Marquis of Yunyang exactly the same as in his own home?

Yun Niang, who has not even eaten enough since she was a child, why did she write a good hand?

Why, why..... As soon as Yun Niang left home, there was a demon cult robbery in the capital?

Also, cousin of the Bai family.... Who the hell is she?
