Chapter 11: Re-entry into Mufu
In the inn, Chen Ke stayed awake all night, looking at the gradually clear sky, and his heart was even more anxious.
There was a 'creak' door, and Chen Ke rushed out quickly.
"Senior sister!"
"Senior brother. Get up so early..."Before the word 'bed' was spoken, Chen Ke was seen looking tired. "What's wrong? Why is your face so bad?"
"Where did you go last night?" Chen Ke stared at Murong Zhen with burning eyes.
"I... I went out for a walk. Seeing that the senior brother frowned, he hurriedly changed his words: "Senior brother, you don't look very good, let's go and rest." ”
For Murong Zhen's vague disclosure, Chen Ke's anger suddenly broke out. "Didn't you go out and say hello beforehand? Did you know I was worried all night. After roaring in one breath, Murong Zhen, who didn't look stunned, strode away with a body full of anger.
She was in a hurry all night, and she could still talk about it casually. Six years have passed, and she is still living in her own world so cautiously. Probably in her eyes, she is just a passerby.
"Senior brother. There was a soft call outside the door. "Don't be angry, it's my fault. I'll greet you when I go out in the future, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry..."Murong Zhen hung his head and stood in front of the door silently confessing. In the past six years, you and the master's meticulous care have brought me to where I am now, and I am really sorry for making you angry this time. "I'm sorry. ”
Since she was a child, Murong Zhen had never been so low-voiced, and it seemed that she was really frightened just now.
"Alright, alright. Tell me something in the future, so that I don't have to worry about it like a headless fly. ”
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Murong Zhen raised his head happily, and saw Chen Ke leaning on the door frame, looking at her fixedly.
"Senior brother is not angry!"
"I can't get angry. Chen Ke looked at Murong Zhen playfully.
Murong Zhen's face turned red, and he took out something from his sleeve robe and handed it to Chen Ke. "Senior brother, do you recognize this?"
In the palm of the hand, an object with a pitch-black body, cumbersome surface carving, and unknown material is impressively placed in the palm of the hand. When you look closely, you can see that the tendons and lines inside seem to be moving.
"Where did this thing come from?" Chen Ke rubbed the object in his palm, his face full of questions.
Murong Zhen then told what happened last night. The more Chen Ke listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. "Nonsense!" After drinking, seeing that Murong Zhen was silent, he slowed down his tone, "That's it, you go back and rest first." After speaking, he waved his hand and sent Murong Zhen away.
"Senior sister, do you think there's something strange here?"
Murong Zhen looked around at the broken bricks and tiles around and shook his head blankly.
"Look at that!" Chen Ke pointed to a nearby dirt pit, "Someone has obviously moved here." ”
For the road walked, imagine the spring season, I don't know what kind of unique scenery it will be.
"Is there something in your house?"
Murong Zhen smiled bitterly. "I don't know. I only remember that my father received a letter, and it wasn't long before something happened at home. ”
Patted Murong Zhen on the shoulder. "Let's take a look. ”
didn't go far, Chen Ke grabbed Murong Zhen and hid in the rockery next to him.
"Division..."
"Shhhh ”
In the distance, several people dressed in Jianghu costumes slowly crossed over.
"Hey, Junzi, you said that the second steward asked us to be stubborn and find something to break the scriptures, what does he mean?"
"Yes. Since it's a scripture, can't we go to the monastery to find it? You say, what kind of effort are we sending to dig in this place where birds don't?"
"Yes, yes. ”
"Alright, that's what the top commanded, we're going to have to do it. It's all gone, let's get to work. ”
As soon as someone tugged at the sleeve of his shirt, Chen Ke looked down and saw Murong Zhen walking forward cautiously. Looks like I guessed right.
"Senior brother, here!" Just thinking about it, Murong Zhen, who was leading the way in front, called lightly, and pushed open the door in front of him, "Come in first." “
"Senior sister, where do you say that scripture they are talking about?"
"I don't know. I just want to know who killed my parents now, and as for what scriptures, I'm not interested. ”
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows. "You said you didn't think that the death of your parents might have something to do with that scripture?" Murong Zhen's ruthlessness for a moment moved Chen Ke slightly. When dealing with other people's affairs, he can always be calm, and once he touches the people close to him, he immediately dances like an angry lion.
"You two go over there. You, you, and you look ahead, and you guys look around. ”
The abrupt voice startled the two people in the room. They glanced at each other, looked at each other, and involuntarily slowed their breathing.
"Big brother, this place has been abandoned for so long, where can we find it?"
"Look around. The man who had spoken before spoke again. "The master of the door said that the thing is here, and you have to find it even if you dig three feet into the ground. ”
"But didn't we find it a few times before?"
"You kid has so much nonsense, let you find it!"
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange for someone to search carefully. ”
The person who took the order to leave gradually moved away, and the person who was called 'big brother' before was silent for a moment, and suddenly said respectfully. "Steward!"
"Liu An, is there any progress?" a low, warm voice sounded, making people feel comfortable.
"The subordinates are incompetent and have not been found. ”
"Heh, according to Yan'er's temperament, you don't have to go to a hidden place to find it. Remember, the most dangerous places are also the safest places. ”
Sensing the change in Murong Zhen's feelings, Chen Ke silently shook her fist clenched with anger, Murong Zhen, who was on the verge of anger, couldn't help but relax his body, and through the dilapidated window lattice, a lonely figure gradually moved away with the whistling north wind.
After a moment of silence, Murong Zhen, who had been silent, spoke silently. "I think I know what they're looking for. ”
"Senior sister..."Chen Ke didn't know how to speak for a while.
"I know that man. Murong Zhen looked out the window fixedly, falling into memory. "He is my mother's senior brother, I heard Uncle Qin mention it. Speaking of this, a layer of anger was shrouded in vain, and the tone of his voice was also full of endless fierceness. endured the tears rolling in his eyes, but he was still stubborn and did not drop a drop. "Without him, my father and mother would not have died!"
"Senior sister, what do you want to eat?" Coming out of Murong Mansion, Murong Zhen couldn't lift his spirits in frustration. "Let's go back and rest after eating these. ”
"Little two, three upper rooms. ”
After the sound of horses' hooves ticking outside the door, one person led the way to the door and quickly looked around, only then nodded quietly at the two behind him.
"I'll bring the food to the room later, so I don't have to bother if it's okay. ”
"Guest, please. After speaking, Xiao Er took the lead in leading them upstairs.
"I'm full. Senior brother, I'll go up first. ”
As everyone went upstairs, Murong Zhen opened the door sullenly. The middle-aged man who was about to enter the door next to him glanced back faintly, only to see a light-colored figure flashing by.
Chen Ke glanced at the barely touched food on the table, and beckoned Xiao Er to move the food to the room. After taking two steps, he hesitated slightly, and then turned to the counter and asked for a jar of wine.
Pushing open the door, in the orange light and shadow of the room, the figure standing against the light by the window looks hazy and blurry against the golden light.
After a long time, Murong Zhen turned around, met Chen Ke's concerned gaze, sat down at the table without a word, picked up the wine jar and poured several sips. The spicy sensation pours in the mouth and burns all the way to the stomach.
"Senior brother, come and have a drink with me. Murong Zhen interrupted Chen Ke's words about to speak at the right time, picked up the teacup and poured two cups. I didn't say much, and I drank it all in one go.
