The person who came was tall and dignified, and he was the man who had an argument with Zhou's mother in the picture.

This is Zhou Ningyue's father, a Jin Linwei who works as an errand in Fusi in Beizhen.

Xin Yu looked at it quietly, and Zhou's father opened his mouth: "Go home and get something." Yue'er, are you going out with friends? ”

Zhou Ningyue looked at Xin Yu: "I'll send my friends out." Sister Kou, this is my father. ”

Xin Yu saluted: "Uncle, good." ”

Father Zhou nodded: "You guys have fun." After saying that, he raised his feet and walked into the door.

"Sister Zhou doesn't have to send it."

"Sister Kou has to come and play with me when she is free." Zhou Ningyue was in a good mood and invited with a smile.

"Good. You can also come to the bookstore at any time to play, and I am usually there. ”

Bidding farewell to Zhou Ningyue and Ji Cailan, Xin Yu returned to the bookstore.

Xiaolian saw that Xin Yu's face was not very good, so she brought a glass of warm water with honey to moisten her throat.

Honey water in the mouth, moist and sweet.

"Xiaolian, is it fourteen today?"

Xiaolian unexpectedly Xin Yu suddenly asked this, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, today is fourteen." ”

Xin Yu held the teacup, looked out the window, and muttered, "It's time for the Midyear Festival." ”

At that time, everyone had the custom of worshipping relatives and friends on these days of the Midyear Festival, and in the picture she saw, who did Zhou's mother burn paper money for, and made Zhou's father angry?

Will the events in the picture happen tonight, tomorrow night, or the day after tomorrow?

Xin Yu slowly drank the honey water and made a decision.

Zhou's mother burned paper money behind Zhou's father's back, obviously not for the ancestors of the Zhou family. Looking at Zhou Ningyue's temperament again, it doesn't seem like it can be cultivated by living in a long-term dispute between her parents, and it is unlikely that Zhou's mother burned paper money for the deceased person of her mother's family.

There must be a reason for the strange thing, but unfortunately she can only see the picture and hear the sound. Then go and hear it for yourself, maybe it will be rewarding.

"Girl, do you still drink? Slave go pour another glass? Xiaolian guessed that the special festival of the Midyear Festival aroused Xin Yu's sadness, and she spoke carefully.

"No need." Xin Yu smiled, "Take the black dress that the nurse made earlier, I'm going to wear it at night." ”

Xiaolian blinked and reacted, "You're going out at night?" ”

She said that how could the girl ask Mama Fang to make an all-black dress, it turned out to be a night dress!

At this moment, the stories she heard played a role, and Xiaolian made a bold guess: "Girl, you shouldn't know kung fu, right?" ”

"Yes." Xin Yu said calmly.

Xiaolian covered her mouth to stop screaming, and looked at Xin Yu with burning eyes.

Ah, the girl actually knows kung fu, and the chivalrous girl in this story really exists!

No wonder the girl climbs the tree so neatly, no wonder the girl is so calm when she encounters anything.

"Girl, are you a chivalrous woman who walks the rivers and lakes with a sword?" Xiaolian asked in a low voice.

Xin Yu stretched out her hand and patted the excited little maid: "I'm not a chivalrous girl, I just know some kung fu." Just look at the story, don't take it seriously. ”

"Oh, oh." Xiaolian answered, but the villain in her heart was still screaming.

Ahh

Xin Yu didn't know Xiaolian's thoughts, and said with a smile: "So you don't have to worry about going out, I'll go out to do something at night." ”

After night, Xin Yu changed into a black dress, quietly left the bookstore under Xiaolian's eyes, and went straight to Jixiangfang.

When the full moon is in the sky, the night breeze is slightly cool, and the streets and alleys have faded away from the liveliness of the day, and they are empty.

The sound of snorting was heard, and occasionally a drunk man staggered by, and there were also sporadic pedestrians in a hurry.

Xin Yu carefully avoided it, and climbed onto the wall from the position that he had quietly observed during the day outside the wall of the Zhou family's courtyard, and jumped in quietly.

She hid by the pyre and looked out at the main house.

The lights in the room were not yet out, and sometimes I could see a figure reflected in the window flickering by.

Mosquitoes were indispensable next to the pyre, and Xin Yu waited patiently without moving, waiting until midnight.

She looked up at the position of the full moon in the sky, compared it with the picture, and made sure that it was not tonight.

After going back, Xin Yu slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and changed into black clothes at night and went out again.

On the night of the Midyear Festival, there was not even a single pedestrian on the road, and the air was filled with the smell of burning paper money, which made the bustling and noisy capital a little more gloomy and unfamiliar during the day.

It was another night of feeding mosquitoes in vain, Xin Yu made up for sleep during the day, and the shopkeeper Hu couldn't help but come to Xiaolian to inquire, and asked the owner if he was not feeling well if he hadn't been there for the past two days.

On the night of Sixteen, looking at Xin Yu, who was dressed in black, Xiaolian finally couldn't help but ask, "Girl, do you have to go out every night?" ”

Xin Yu glanced up at the full moon in the sky and shook his head slightly: "I shouldn't go out tomorrow night." ”

Waiting for Xin Yu to walk into the night, Xiaolian suddenly had a guess: The girl should not pretend to be a ghost in the two days of the Midyear Festival!

Somehow, the more mysterious the girl's behavior became, the more confident she was that the girl would be able to return to the Kou family's wealth.

Xin Yu entered Zhou's house and hid in the old place.

The two days of waiting did not make her depressed, but became more and more calm.

The pictures she saw will happen in the near future, and since the scene of Zhou's mother secretly burning paper money is not two days ago, it must be tonight.

Xin Yu's judgment was not wrong, and after waiting for an hour, when everything was silent, the door of the main room quietly opened.

A person walked out lightly with a basket, and it could be seen under the moonlight that it was Zhou's mother.

She looked very careful, looked back at the door frequently, made sure that nothing was alarmed, and ran to the laurel tree in the corner.

Xin Yu looked at it intently, and saw Zhou's mother kneeling there, taking out the folded paper money from the basket and lighting it, muttering something silently.

The yellow paper burned in the basin, reflecting Zhou's mother's sad face.

Xin Yu turned her gaze and looked at the door of the main room.

A tall figure stepped out, pausing for a moment, then striding to the corner.

Zhou's mother turned around vigilantly when she heard the movement, but because the yard was not big, Zhou's father had already come to the front.

Xin Yu saw the panic on Zhou's mother's face, and then was pulled up by Zhou's father just like in the picture.

Unlike the silent images, she heard the two talking.

"What are you burning paper money for, aren't you afraid of causing trouble!"

"I burned it quietly at home, and no one saw it, how could I cause trouble?"

"No one sees? Don't you know how powerful Jin Linwei is? Under the moonlight, Father Zhou's expression was gloomy.

Zhou's mother was also angry and pushed his hand away: "Jin Linwei, Jin Linwei, if I hadn't believed you, Queen Xin wouldn't have died at all!" Woo woo, I hurt the queen-"

Father Zhou's face changed greatly, and he lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Are you crazy? If you want the whole family to die without a place to be buried, you can't do it! ”

"You let go!"

While the two were pulling, Zhou's mother accidentally fell and pressed one hand into the basin burning paper money.

The screams sounded, alarming the sleeping people, several people came out one after another, and even Zhou Ningyue hurriedly ran out with her clothes on.
