A plum tree was planted in the corner of the backyard of the Yin family, and the calyx contained snow at the beginning, and the branches were shining.

When Lu Anran came back, he passed by, and he originally wanted to take a look at Baimei, but he saw two figures standing behind the tree, unable to see their faces clearly, their clothes were staggered in the wind, and they were very close.

As if sensing someone, the figure on the left moved, leaving a page of dark green robes and chasing the wind.

Immediately after, another person came out from behind the tree, twisting his waist and swaying, holding his temples, showing a charming smile: "Miss Lu is back, how is the road repaired?" ”

Lu Anran said hello, "It will take a few days." ”

"It doesn't matter, Miss Lu can stay for a few more days, but there is nothing to entertain in the countryside, Miss Grievance is." Wei is wearing a peach-colored jacket, with a white collar and a circle of hair arching his face, which is both bewitching and glamorous, and has a mature style in his bones.

Seeing Wei's, he suddenly thought of what happened just now, and Lu Anran's fingers suddenly went numb, as if there was still a slight cool touch in the corners of his eyes, and his eyelids fell slightly, covering the expression in his eyes.

"Since Miss Lu knows a lot about this world, she should know that this world doesn't like young women, and she loves you the most for a pure beauty who doesn't understand the world."

Before the shame and anger could strike, the man had already let her go and retreated, leaving only the sound of wild laughter in the cold wind, which was extremely flamboyant.

The light in Lu Anran's eyes moved slightly, and this person rose from the clouds, if it was rumored, he was extravagant and uninhibited, which was really annoying.

Separated from the Wei family, Lu Anran had just returned to the door, Chun Miao hurriedly came back from the other side, and saw Lu Anran hurriedly said: "The slave and maid have been looking around, where did the young lady go?" ”

Obviously, he worked the front and back feet of a bucket of water, but Chun Miao came back and found that Lu Anran was not behind him, so he hurriedly went out to find a big circle.

Lu Anran just opened his mouth to speak, but he heard a few strange noises, and then a little girl's whining and crying pierced through the snow.

"Let's take a look."

—

'Smack-' The whip slammed into the ground, and the volley sent out a bit of cold air.

In the cold winter moon, the little girl knelt on the ground and whimpered and cried, but she did not dodge, her young body trembled spasmodically, her hands held her head, her fingers were red, and there was a bloody scar on the back of her hand.

The man was holding a rattan whip in his hand, his dark green back slowly turned around, his eyes were red, and his expression was fierce, which startled Lu Anran's master and servant who came to the window to stand.

Chunmiao glanced at Lu Anran, cleared her throat and said loudly: "Hey, a child, you beat you so hard, you are still not human." ”

Interrupted by a voice outside, the father and daughter looked up at the same time.

"Disturb Miss." Yin Tianming instantly cleaned up his emotions and said with a dry smile: "Children are disobedient, and they only have a long memory after two hits." ”

Chunmiao muttered: "If you are disobedient, you can't beat you to death with a whip, how pitiful such a child is." ”

Yin Tianming put down the rattan whip and nodded: "The girl is right, in fact, it is just to scare her, how can you really fight." Seeing Chunmiao staring at the wound on the back of the child's hand, she said embarrassedly: "That's accidental......"

Before leaving, Lu Anran turned his head to take a look, and the corner of the dark green clothes suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Chunmiao saw Lu Anran stop and wondered.

Lu Anran shook his head: "It's okay." ”

—

After lunch, Sister-in-law Tian sent some swallow mud soft cakes as she said.

I heard that this is a local specialty, tender wormwood, small thorn grass and so on into the pot to boil, then add swallow mud, float off the top layer of gray, knead in glutinous rice flour, it becomes a turquoise swallow mud soft cake.

Swallow mud is chalky ash, which is unique to Northern Yan.

Sweet and glutinous and soft and fragrant, it is very suitable for Lu Anran's appetite, but Chunmiao can't stand the sweetness and greasyness, and said with a straight smile: "Miss has been sweet since she was a child, and likes to eat small tea and pastries. ”

Lu Anran wiped his fingers with a brocade handkerchief, picked up the tea bowl and pushed the tea foam off with the tea lid, and said lightly: "You have this kung fu, why don't you go outside and pick some plum blossoms to make plum blossom cakes, and you won't waste the beautiful white plum tree." ”

Chunmiao went to find a basket, and said, "The slave knows that the young lady is eyeing the white plum blossoms." ”

"Wait." Lu Anran shouted to Chunmiao, who stepped out of the threshold with one foot, got up and straightened his clothes, "I'm with you." ”

Light snow drifted in the sky, dotted like stars, stained with black hair, and danced lightly.

Chunmiao walked forward with a basket, stretched out her hand to pick flowers, and saw a person squatting in the corner, and said in surprise: "Miss, don't you see that the granddaughter of the Yin family?" ”

The little girl squatted with her back to the master and servant, holding a small wooden stick the thickness of a finger in her hand and poking it on the ground, not knowing what she was doing.

Lu Anran saw that she was still dressed in the morning, compared to herself wrapped in a thick cloak, it could be called thin.

"It's so pitiful that without a mother is equivalent to having no father." Chunmiao Nunu mouthed, motioning to Lu Anran to look over, "The back of the hand is not bandaged." ”

So he felt compassion, "Miss, the slave still has a little medicine in her hand." ”

Lu Anran hesitated and nodded in response.

Chunmiao took out the small porcelain vase and shouted as she approached, "Little girl." ”

The girl stopped and turned slowly.

Chunmiao was stunned for a moment, forgetting what she was going to say later.

I saw that the girl was not wronged and cried silently, or she was pitiful, but she was smiling and had a very cheerful expression.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Anran walked over.

"Hehe, Su Su is digging sweet potatoes, Su Su loves Daddy the most, and he wants to bake sweet potatoes for Daddy." The girl tilted her head, smiling, her voice was innocent and crisp, her eyes were dark, and the cold wind was blowing, inexplicably with a little cold and evil atmosphere.

Although the girl's expression was delicate, it gave Lu Anran and Chunmiao a terrifying feeling.

"Miss, this Yinjia Village is weird everywhere, and everyone is not normal." Chunmiao's hairs stood on end when she remembered the little girl's appearance just now.

Lu Anran looked back, and the little girl continued to poke the ground with the trunk, and her small and thin body seemed to grow there in the cold wind of hunting.

"Don't talk nonsense, we'll leave here in a few days, and the people and things in the village have nothing to do with us."

Chunmiao thought about it and sighed: "I hope everything goes well, and there will be no more accidents on that mountain." ”

It's just that everything didn't go as people wanted, and the mountain stopped collapsing at night, but something bigger happened.

There was a life case in Yinjia Village, and the one who died was Yin Tianxiang, the second son of the head of Yinjia Village.

Lu Anran hurried over when she heard the news, and before she stepped into the threshold, a folding fan was opened in front of her, and a gentle voice sounded in her ears: "There are dead people inside, you dare to go?" ”

Lu Anran glanced at him, and said in a light voice: "The dead are not as difficult as the living." ”

"Heh-" Yun Qi snorted lightly, and glanced at Chunmiao, who was about to go in with Lu Anran.

Chunmiao bowed her head and moved out of her place, thought for a while, and finally stood at the door of the room.

The houses in the village are simply furnished, with carved windows, pine beds, a wardrobe, a pair of tables and chairs, and a few boxes.

In addition to Lu Anran and Yunqi, there were originally Village Chief Yin and Yin Tianming in the room, as well as the Wei family who found the body.

It was probably too shocked that everyone didn't react, so Lu Anran saw a bathtub in the center of the room at a glance, half of the naked man lying in it, and the other half kneeling on the ground.

The floor of the green bricks was wet, and a lot of water was dripping down the edge of the barrel.

Lu Anran stepped forward to see the corpse, but Village Chief Yin finally came back to his senses, his face was gray, his face trembled, and his voice trembled, "Tianming, don't help your brother up quickly." ”

Yin Tianming's feet seemed to have taken root, and he swallowed his saliva, "...... Yes, Father. ”

I don't know if Yin Tianming's strength is weak or the corpse is dead, he didn't get two of them out, but splashed himself with water, and finally succeeded, and when he raised his head and looked at Yin Tianxiang's wide dead eyes, he let go in fright.

'Bang-' The sound shook as he watched the body smash to the ground.

Lu Anran stepped forward past Yin Tianming, looked down at the tightly wrapped belly pocket on Yin Tianxiang's head, and the embroidery fell in the middle of the forehead in front of him, a chrysanthemum.

"Ahhh It's a ghost, a ghost kills, a ghost kills—"

Sister-in-law Tian appeared at some point, came out from behind Lu Anran, and screamed in a loud voice, which startled Lu Anran and slipped the soles of her feet when she stepped into the water.

Yunqi grabbed Lu Anran's back collar, leaned over half of his demonic face and quipped, "I still say I'm not afraid." ”

At this time, many people heard the wind and came, and the room was crowded with people for a moment, all listening to Sister-in-law Tian's yelling, and the wind outside hissed and exhausted, and everyone's hearts instantly became furious.

"Ju! The Kim family's maiden name is Xiangju, and the Kim family turned into a ghost to kill people! Sister-in-law Tian tripped over something, fell to the ground and crawled backwards again and again, terrified.

Everyone looked at each other and scrambled to move back.

"Shut up!" Village Chief Yin's thin face had slightly protruding cheekbones, and his cheeks were sunken in, especially serious, he clenched his fists, endured the pain of losing his son, and said with a blushing face: "Sister-in-law Tian, you are so alarmist again, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Sister-in-law Tian had already crawled to the door, holding on to the door frame, her legs were still weak and shaking, stroking her chest and looking too frightened, but her mouth was unforgiving, "Village chief, take a look for yourself, a bath bucket can drown people, even if a ten-year-old child stands up straight, the water is not more than his neck, is it still Tianxiang himself wrapped his head and stuck into the bucket to drown himself?" Isn't that what the hell is? ”

Sister-in-law Tian gave herself courage a few times, and spoke more and more smoothly, "Also, everyone is sure of it, don't say that my sister-in-law Tian is talking nonsense, no woman or girl in Jin's embroidery village can catch up, except for her, who can embroider chrysanthemums as alive, not to mention a chrysanthemum character on it."

Which one in the village has a chrysanthemum? Except for the Jin family, there is only Sanniang and her six-year-old baby, do you think it is possible for the village chief? ”

was pulled by Sister-in-law Tian like this, and the people in the village gradually showed fear on their faces.

"The Jin family helped my married daughter embroider a mandarin duck hijab, and she is the only one in our Yinjia Village, and no embroiderer is as good as hers."

"Yes, look at the chrysanthemums on the belly pocket, we can't embroider them."

"That'...... Are you saying that it's really the Kim family's change, the change is a ghost......"

"It's hard to say that I owe her when I'm alive, and I'm here to collect the debt!"
