"Hasn't Little Six come back yet?" Shen Yu followed at the end and quietly asked Shen Muzhou.

Lin Yanxi looked up at Shen Muzhou, he was silent, his eyes were dark, and he could see the faint worry on his face, "No."

According to the time, it is now close to evening, Xiaoliu set off early in the morning, and the reinforcements should have arrived early, even if there is any situation that does not invite reinforcements, they will send a message back, but there is no news for two whole days.

Shen Muzhou said, "But the dark sentry has already passed the news back to the capital."

The group returned to the ghost town again, which was underground, and there was no difference between day and night, with dim candles shining on the narrow and long staircase, and the sound of water dripping from time to time echoed, all the way down until an open place, and beyond that was the main street of the ghost town.

The ghost town will be open at a specific time on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and will be closed for seven days, after the closure of the city, if you want to enter and exit again, you will have to wait until the first and fifteenth day of the next month.

Today is the last day.

Lin Yanxi asked, "Do you think this ghost town is different from when we came that day?"

I can't say what is different, in short, it is weird, and I am faintly uneasy.

Shen Yu looked to the sides and said casually, "What's the difference? Aren't these stall owners like this, wearing scarves and pretending to be ghosts?"

Shen Muzhou didn't speak, but noticed that there were no customers in front of the stall owners on both sides, and occasionally there were one or two customers standing in front of the stalls, although they looked like they were talking about the objects in their hands, but their eyes fell on them from time to time, and they quickly took it back.

Lin Yanxi threw Shen Yu a foolish look, "You are really a clear stream in the royal family."

The princes of Nan Min can stay in the capital, and they all have their own means, but Shen Yu is completely lucky.

Shen Yu felt that this sounded okay at first, and he pulled the hair in front of his forehead with one hand and said, "That's natural."

Immediately saw Lin Yanxi's meaningful smile, he pointed at Lin Yanxi and asked, "Hey, you little girl, what do you mean!"

Seeing that he reacted, Lin Yanxi hurriedly ran behind Shen Muzhou and grimaced at him.

Shen Muzhou glanced at Shen Yu and said, "Don't make trouble, let's go to Zhihai Tower first."

Meng'er said that these people will not enter Zhihailou to make trouble, so no matter what the purpose of these stall owners outside is, it is temporarily safe to enter Zhihailou.

He naturally took Lin Yanxi's little hand, protected her by his side, and walked towards Zhihai Tower.

Shen Yu was unconvinced and said, "Your eccentric eyes are all home!"

There were no more corpses stacked on top of each other yesterday in front of Zhihai Tower, and as usual, there were a few girls standing in front of the door to solicit guests, as if nothing had happened.

"Yo, you're here."

Sister Lian'er saw them coming, and greeted them out from inside the door.

Lin Yanxi had to admire the skills of these women, and when she stepped forward enthusiastically, it was as if nothing had happened that day, and they were just regular customers here.

Shen Yu pointed at her and said, "That's her! It was this woman who took me and Xiaoliu into the wing room and stunned us."

Sister Lian'er's expression didn't change much, and she still smiled flatteringly, "This son is polite, come in, someone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Polite?

Who's kind to you?

Shen Yu stared at her vigilantly, Sister Lian'er smiled and took Shen Yu's hand, and threw a wink at him, the cold color on Shen Yu's face gradually faded, and she also held Sister Lian'er's hand with her backhand.

Follow her into the building.

Lin Yanxi looked at Shen Yu's greedy female appearance, and suddenly understood why Luo Jingxin didn't like him anymore, and the rumors in the capital were true.

The other girls hugged Shen Muzhou, "The son is so handsome."

A few slender jade hands were about to wrap around Shen Muzhou's arm, and his long knife blocked in front of him and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

When the girls saw this, they didn't dare to be bored anymore and dispersed.

"Come here." Shen Muzhou looked back and beckoned to Lin Yanxi, who was standing on the side, his eyebrows softened a lot.

The girls of Zhihailou immediately threw envious glances at Lin Yanxi.

Lin Yanxi pursed her lips, every time she was like this, pretending to be close to her in front of people caused misunderstanding and suspicion, but in fact, the person in people's hearts was not her at all.

But she was used to it, she obediently walked over, and Shen Muzhou went one after the other, and followed Sister Lian'er into a room.

This time they were more cautious than before, Shen Muzhou picked up the tea on the table, lifted the lid of the octagonal incense burner, and splashed the incense with the tea.

I looked around the room again, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Sister Lian'er smiled when she saw this and said, "Don't worry, this house is very clean."

"Meng'er is waiting for you all day long, her stupid girl, in order to help you, she was punished by the landlord."

Sister Lian'er is only delicate, coquettish and charming, with a unique charm, she always has that kind of seductive smile on her face, and when she mentioned Meng'er, her eyes showed a faint worry, and the smile was also hidden.

Lin Yanxi didn't bring Gu Qing to Meng'er, she let out a hint of shame and asked, "Then is Meng'er okay now?"

Sister Lian'er shook her head and sighed faintly, "She...... Sick, sick heart. What about Gu Qing? Didn't you find him?"

What he wanted to say was like being choked in his throat, Lin Yanxi didn't know whether to answer truthfully for a while.

Shen Muzhou took the conversation and said, "He's dead."

Sister Lian'er was first startled and then sneered: "Come on, his greedy and fearful of death, he finally escaped from the ghost town, he must have changed his mind a long time ago and flew with others, can he be willing to die?"

"I don't think he dares to come back, you don't have to lie to me!"

Without waiting for them to ask, Sister Lian'er took the initiative to open the conversation box and gushed endlessly: "When he came, I didn't think he was a good thing, he was just a weak scholar with a little white face. Relying on himself as a luthier, he can draw, and he is close to his dreams all day long."

"Later, he said that there was a mother at home who asked for medicine, Meng'er, a stupid girl, believed it, forced each other to die, and begged the landlord to give medicine, and the landlord saw the clue and went to investigate the identity of the piano master. And guess what?"

They glanced at each other, and they already knew what was going on, and Shen Yu said indifferently, "He has another good wife in his family, and this medicine is for his wife."

Sister Lian'er waved her hand, and this body stuck a little more on Shen Yu's body, and her fingers pinched his chin and teased, "Childe guessed wrong."

Lin Yanxi was puzzled, "Did you guess wrong?"

Sister Lian'er thought of the past and said hatefully: "He is simply a villain who loves Ronghua, the young lady of the county lord's family is sick and weak all the year round, and the county lord loves this daughter of his very much, and sends out a post, looking for famous doctors and good medicines, and those who can cure the young lady will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver."

"This Gu Qing exposed the post, often approached the young lady on the grounds of cure, and after finding a prescription, he abandoned his dream and left the ghost town, how could the landlord spare him? When she was about to kill him, Meng'er begged the landlord to let Gu Qing go, she was willing to work for Zhihailou for the rest of her life, and she didn't dare to have the idea of redeeming herself."

"The landlord forced Meng'er to cut off one of Gu Qing's hands, and she had no choice but to do so in order to save his life. After that, the landlord gave Meng'er a memory devouring pill, and she should have completely forgotten about this person, but maybe Meng'er loved Gu Qing too much, she remembered all the good things about Gu Qing, but she forgot all the things that happened on the day he abandoned her."

After hearing this story, Lin Yanxi muttered, "It turns out that this is the case between them."

Sister Lian'er asked, "Then Gu Qing can sit as the son-in-law of the county order as he wishes?"

She shook her head and whispered, "No."

The truth is always harder to accept than a lie.

Sister Lian'er asked in disbelief, "Miss County Commander doesn't like him? That's right, that little white-faced ......."

Shen Yu grabbed her shoulders and corrected, "You guessed wrong this time, the young lady of the county order family likes him very much, eloped with him and left the house, and now he is living a very poor life."

Sister Lian'er thought for a while, and her face returned to that seductive smile, "I'll help you call Meng'er."

With that, she twisted her waist and walked out of the room, closing the door gently.

"What are you thinking?

Isn't it?" Shen Muzhou, who had not spoken, asked.

Lin Yanxi sighed abruptly: "I'm thinking about how can this Gu Qing be virtuous, the two women are very affectionate to him, he is full of calculations, and at the same time, I am also glad that he failed to get what he wanted and live a rich life."

He looked at the man, his eyes glowing with softness, and quipped, "Don't think about it, these things are too difficult for you."

The little girl immediately glared at him, not at all disadvantaged, and even now she was not afraid of him.

What does that mean?

She was about to say something when the door of the wing room was pushed open, and Sister Lian'er walked in, and there was no dream behind her.

Sister Lian'er waved her handkerchief and motioned for them to come over, "Let's go, the building will see you."

The three of them followed Sister Lian'er through several doors and walked to a side room, this side room was the one where Meng'er gave them *** last time, and before stepping into the house, Shen Muzhou paused.

He pulled down Shen Yu's sleeve robe and whispered, "Fifth brother, you wait here, Lin Yanxi and I go in, if Lin Yanxi and I can't come out for an hour, you can find a way to throw this out."

Shen Yu secretly took a secret mark from his hand and said, "Be careful."

Sister Lian'er looked back and saw that Shen Yu stayed outside the house and refused to enter, so she understood what was going on, and she smiled, "Be cautious, it should be."

She took out two ribbons and handed them to them and said, "Blindfold."

Shen Muzhou hesitated, and reached out to take the ribbon in her hand, but Lin Yanxi grabbed his wrist and looked at him uneasily.

He looked at her and was stunned, his expression became a little soft, and said, "If you are afraid, just wait outside with Shen Yu, and I will be back soon."

Who's afraid?

Lin Yanxi frowned, grabbed the ribbon in front of him, and said arrogantly, "I'm going too."

Shen Muzhou held the silk scarf in the palm of his hand, and said without hurrying to tie it, "Antidote."

Seeing that she was puzzled, she repeated again, "The antidote to the residual poison of the medicine."

Sister Lian'er quickly understood, and she asked playfully, "Can residual poison attack in the body?"

Lin Yanxi then thought that there was such a thing as residual poison, could it be that the sudden dull pain in his heart just now was residual poison?

In other words, you are tempted? To whom? Shen Muzhou!

She subconsciously glanced at Shen Muzhou with her eyes, his expression was cold, and there was a bit of unnatural panic surging in the depths of his black eyes, completely covered by his indifferent expression.

Lin Yanxi's white little face swept a faint flush, and he said in a stiff tone, "No."

Sister Lian'er looked at the faces of the two, only smiled silently, turned around and took out a porcelain bottle from a small drawer, and poured out two small black pills for the two to eat.

After they tied the silk scarf, Sister Lian'er changed the direction of the ornaments in the four corners of the room, and the dark grid behind a painting opened, and there was a gossip plate in the dark grid, and there were three pointers in the middle of the gossip card.

After the hands were twisted to their corresponding positions, the wooden planks of the bed were lifted, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of them.

After entering the dark passage for about a dozen steps, Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi's blindfolds were taken off.

In front of him was a handsome man, he did not cover his face with a face towel like the others in the ghost town, and on the bed lay a beautiful woman dressed in Western costumes.

"Dreams!"
