At night, the mountains are so silent that you can't even hear the sound of insects.

Chu Xiao hugged Tong Xiang's waist and jumped into Dr. Liu's house.

Since they had been here during the day today, they were already familiar with the environment here, and they came to the mourning hall in a short time.

Sure enough, as expected, although it was late at night, Dr. Liu's family in the mourning hall was guarding.

Some of them were yawning silently, but none of them left.

Tong Xiang took out a bag of medicinal powder from his pocket and threw it towards the mourning hall.

In an instant, all of them fell down in a daze.

Tong Xiang handed Chu Xiao a pill, "Eat this." ”

"What is this?" Looking at the thing similar to a hawthorn pill in his hand, Chu Xiao hesitated a little.

Tong Xiang sighed helplessly, and then responded coldly: "If you want to go in and sleep with them, then you can not eat." “

After saying this, Tong Xiang walked in freely.

Chu Xiao followed behind Tong Xiang in a gloomy manner, "I just want to relieve the tense atmosphere." ”

"You turn this on."

Tong Xiang pointed to the half-closed coffin and gave orders in a calm tone.

Chu Xiao didn't grind anymore this time, and directly started to help Dr. Liu's corpse up.

Tong Xiang stepped forward and carefully examined Dr. Liu's body, and indeed found no wounds.

"Could it be poisoning?"

Chu Xiao looked at this result and asked in a low voice.

In fact, Tong Xiang had already thought of this, and took the ancient ring to Dr. Liu's body for an examination early, but he didn't find any toxins.

This inevitably made Tong Xiang a little puzzled, could it be that Dr. Liu really died of natural causes, and they thought too much about all this?

However, after a conversation with the old woman, Tong Xiang always felt that she knew something.

There was nothing found on the corpse, so Chu Xiao could only obediently put it back.

Dr. Liu has saved countless people in his life, and he deserves a good home.

Just as Chu Xiao was holding Dr. Liu's head and gently lowering it, he felt as if his fingertips had been pierced by something.

Looking at the change in Chu Xiao's expression, Tong Xiang became vigilant, "Did you find anything?" ”

Chu Xiao's eyes glanced at his fingertips, "I think there's something here." ”

Tong Xiang hurriedly climbed up, and when she saw the silver needle that only showed a small point, her eyes became fierce.

"It turns out that this is the real cause of Dr. Liu's death."

The two of them looked at this silver needle, their faces became solemn, if it was really the silver needle that caused death, then why did the old woman hide it?

If the old woman didn't know, then how did that person stick a silver needle into Dr. Liu's head in full view?

Just as Tong Xiang and the others were entangled, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

Tong Xiang looked around the room, but he didn't see a hiding place.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Chu Xiao simply hugged Tong Xiang in his arms, jumped up and jumped onto the beam, ordinary people would not notice such a place.

After a while, the old woman arrived late, still holding a few cups of hot tea in her hand.

When she saw her children and grandchildren sleeping in the mourning hall, her brows suddenly furrowed.

"That's how you keep the spirit?"

Hearing the old woman's voice, the people who had just fallen asleep woke up.

Tong Xiang didn't give them heavy medicine, as long as someone called them, they would wake up.

Seeing his mother's angry expression, the eldest son and the second son hurriedly stood up, lowering their heads and not daring to look directly into their mother's eyes.

The second son had a weak heart, and hurriedly explained: "Mother, we don't know what's wrong, we were in a daze just now, and our eyes couldn't help but close together. ”

"Shut up, why didn't you see you when you went to the gambling house at night before, you used to be a night owl at night, and now you are sleepy?"

The old woman had been resentful of her son for a long time, and she thought that his son would change when he came here, but she didn't expect it to be this virtue.

Seeing his mother so angry, the second son immediately shut up.

The old woman walked up to her eldest son and sighed softly, "You have always been steady, why did you make such a mistake today?" ”

The eldest son didn't dare to contradict his mother, but lowered his head and responded apologetically: "It's my fault, I'll pay attention to it later." ”

In the end, it was her own child in front of her, and the old woman was not very ruthless.

She handed the hot tea in her hand to the children, "Okay, you've worked hard these days, if you really can't hold on, then rest for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, she slowly turned to look at Dr. Liu's coffin, "Your father doesn't care about these details. ”

Tong Xiang stood on the top, looking at the old woman's heroic appearance, his eyes were full of envy.

Although I have never seen the way the old woman and Dr. Liu get along, and even think that the old woman is a little strong, it can be seen from her eyes that the two of them must have spent their lives together.

What happened just now, Dr. Liu's children were more vigilant than before, Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao stood on the beams of the house leaning on each other, and they couldn't get out for a while.

At night, Jin Xinyuan felt that his stomach was a little hungry, so he took his sister and Xiaoqin downstairs together.

The little two downstairs hadn't rested yet, and when he saw Jin Xinyuan, he immediately greeted him, and asked with a flattering face: "Guest officer, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

Jin Xinyuan paid him a lot last time, so he was naturally willing to serve Jin Xinyuan.

Jin Xinyuan didn't even look at the menu, "Just get a little supper and come over, it doesn't need to be too good, just fill your stomach." ”

Jin Xinyuan's expenses in the past two days are too big, and the most important thing is that Tong Xiang has not been reimbursed, so he naturally has to be more frugal.

When Xiao Er heard this, his face immediately became much more ugly, he thought that this time he might not be able to get some benefits from it, but he didn't expect such a result.

Seeing Xiao Er walking away sullenly, Jin Xinyue took Jin Xinyuan's hand, "Why don't you eat some of your favorite foods?" ”

Jin Xinyuan didn't want his sister to worry, so he squeezed out a smile on his face, "Eat too much big fish and meat, and it's good to eat some light food occasionally." ”

Jin Xinyue sighed slightly, took out a money bag from his waist and put it in front of Jin Xinyuan.

"You don't have to worry about money, I still have some here."

Looking at the bulging money bag, Jin Xinyuan's expression was instantly stunned, "Why do you still have money, didn't I take it all?" ”

"Not only does Miss have it, but I also have it here."

Xiaoqin took out the money bag on her waist in Jin Xinyuan's unbelievable expression, and stared at Jin Xinyuan arrogantly.

Jin Xinyuan pushed the two money bags to the middle of the table and stared at the two people in front of him with a serious expression.

"What else are you two hiding from me?"

Jin Xinyue avoided Jin Xinyuan's eyes, "We were robbed on the first day we came here, and after that, I began to pack the money separately." ”

Xiaoqin nodded in agreement, "Yes, not only do we have money, but we also have it at home, Miss said, this is called leaving a way back for yourself." ”

"Then where do you have so much money?"

Jin Xinyuan couldn't understand it, obviously he had been in charge of Rendetang for so long, why didn't he have the money in his hand and two girls who didn't have anything to do all day.

Jin Xinyue touched Jin Xinyuan's head dotingly, "For so many years, although we can't go out, grandpa hasn't given us less monthly money, and we can't spend it, so we all save it." ”

"That can't be so much."

Jin Xinyuan once again questioned, he also has monthly money every month, even if he usually buys some things, he will not be so much worse than his sister.

Jin Xinyue looked at Xiaoqin, who was sitting on the side and smirked, "Xiaoqin's money is also placed here with me, plus some jewelry that you and grandpa usually give, it adds up to more." ”

Jin Xinyuan sighed deeply and lay on the table.

"I'm a failure."

As soon as Jin Xinyuan's words fell, a familiar voice came from beside him.

"Jin Gongzi, Miss Xiaoyue, what a coincidence."

Jin Xinyuan immediately raised his head, and his eyes became cold, "Whether it was a chance encounter or a deliberate encounter, only Zhao Gongzi, you know." ”

Zhao Yiqing was slightly stunned at first when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Jin Gongzi is really joking, I came here to discuss business, and this inn is not opened by your family, so I can naturally come and live."

As soon as Jin Xinyuan wanted to refute, Zhao Yiqing's subordinates walked over, "Childe, the room is ready, you can go up." ”

Xiao Er also came over with a simple meal at this time, "Guest officer, your meal is ready." ”

Jin Xinyue knew that his younger brother and Zhao Yiqing were not dealing with each other, and there was no Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao at this time, if he really caused something, he was afraid that it would not be easy to deal with it.

Jin Xinyue grabbed Xiao Er, who was about to leave, "Trouble the little brother to send this meal upstairs." ”

"Miss Xiaoyue doesn't want to see me like that?"

Zhao Yiqing's eyes stared at Jin Xinyue tightly, and he asked coldly.

Jin Xinyue didn't look him in the eyes, she chuckled, "Zhao Gongzi is really joking, it's getting late, it's a little cold here, it's better to go upstairs." ”

Jin Xinyuan also said on the side: "Please also ask Zhao Gongzi to rest early, so as not to delay your business tomorrow." ”

"Then dare to ask where Miss Tong and Master Chu went, why didn't you see them?"

Looking at Jin Xinyuan, they were about to go upstairs, and Zhao Yiqing asked them.

Jin Xinyuan paused slightly, and then said slowly: "Since you have already lived here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to see them, you will naturally meet tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Yiqing looked at Jin Xinyuan and they disappeared from his sight, his face suddenly became indifferent, and a terrible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
