Chapter 21: The Night Detective

Leaving Mengjun Villa, I went straight to the orchard next to the wooden house.

"I knew you'd come to me. ”

The fox demon's coquettish voice came as scheduled. As soon as I turned my head, she was already standing behind me with her body twisted. It seems that every movement of her can make her body bend a lot, soft as a ribbon, as long as you wave, she can wrap around your whole body, so that you can't break free. Of course, there are many people who not only do not want to break free, but are also obsessed with such entanglement, but they don't know that it is enough to kill.

"How do you know I'm here for you?"

"No one in this world can forget my beautiful face, whether it be a man or a woman, so of course you will come to me. "She's still complaining, but I know that she must have known that I've seen You Ruojun.

"You Ruojun is sick, do you know?"

"Of course, I hope she dies soon. ”

"If she's sick, why don't you take advantage of this to do something to her, and why do you have to make any deal with me?"

Her eyes flickered, and her beautiful face was indeed a little more worried.

"Could it be that she has something else holding you back?"

She turned away slightly, as if deliberately evasive, and I finally understood that what she was really afraid of might not be You Ruojun's demon water.

"If you really want to make this deal with me, it's better not to hide too much, otherwise, I will slowly lose interest. ”

"Are you more interested in this matter than the two secrets I mentioned?"

She immediately hid her distraction again and wanted to change the subject.

My heart did flutter a little, but I smiled at her calmly and said, "I'm interested." ”

She seemed to hear what I meant.

"Okay, okay, if you kill her for me, I'll tell you all the secrets I know, so it's okay, right?" she looked at me coquettishly, and her eyes seemed to be really full of grievances.

I avoided her feigned hypocrisy and told her seriously: "Give me two months, and I will complete the deal naturally." ”

She smiled flatteringly and said coquettishly, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you here in two months." ”

Before she could finish speaking, her figure faded into thin air.

Back to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu, for some reason, I always saw the weeping willows of Meng Jun's villa in front of my eyes, as well as the back of Meng Yunzhong closing the door, and in the end, I actually focused all my thoughts on the scene of meeting You Ruojun, I inexplicably thought about every detail, as if I was deliberately savoring the anger and jealousy I made her, and the bet I made with her. In fact, I also have a question in my heart, who will be the winner of this bet? Thinking about it, I suddenly felt ridiculous, even if she didn't marry Meng Yunzhong, even if I won, so what? Can I appear in front of Meng Yunzhong openly?

As soon as I thought of this, I felt a lot of sorrow, and suddenly I felt that something similar to pain was beginning to spread in me, so I deliberately shifted my thoughts, and strangely, I slowly focused my attention on You Ruojun's frail face, especially the wrinkles that loomed on her face.

I suddenly became interested in her illness, what happened between her and Meng Yunzhong these days? Or was it something that happened to herself? A demon hunter, who had cultivated some spiritual power, how could he be so seriously ill inexplicably?

In the blink of an eye, I remembered what Meng Yunzhong said by her bedside, and then, the image of the purple-shirted man appeared in front of me, and they all mentioned a person: Fu Yuanwai. Meng Yunzhong also said that the medicine outside the Fu Yuan can cure You Ruojun's illness, so what kind of miracle effect does this medicine have, and if You Ruojun takes the medicine, can he really get better?

With this question, at midnight that day, I was already outside the door of Fu Yuanwaifu.

Compared with Mengjun Villa, the Fuyuan Waifu is much more ordinary and small, and the furnishings are also featureless, in addition to reflecting that the owner does have some family background, it seems that there are only a few more courtyards than other houses. The walls of the Yuanwai Mansion are covered with green vines, and it seems that this mansion is also a few years old. There are brightly lit lanterns hanging at the gate, and everything seems peaceful and quiet, neither can we see that Fu Yuanwai is a strange person with great elegance, nor can I see that this mansion has any herbal smell, is there still a master who is proficient in medical skills living in this mansion? Or is it a guest invited by Fu Yuanwai?

I first walked around the Yuanwai Mansion, and then set up a hidden realm to enter the mansion, and walked through all the courtyards, but I found nothing. The main courtyard where the staff lives is a lot of rooms, and it can be regarded as magnificent, but it is the layout and furnishings of ordinary large households, and the other courtyards are more similar, and the people who sleep in it are nothing more than the wives and concubines of the staff, and then the handyman room near the backyard of the staff, in short, inside and out, I have not found a decent room worthy of a pharmacy, and I can't even smell a trace of medicine. Moreover, apart from the night watchman and the maid, no one else walked around in this house.

On this trip, it seems that nothing has been found, and I can't figure it out, how can there be a master who is proficient in medical skills in such an extremely ordinary landlord's courtyard? How can there be a prescription that can cure You Ruojun? Could it be that during the day, they just made an appointment with Lang Zhong to prescribe a prescription for You Ruojun here? Then why make such a big detour?

With a lot of unsolvable doubts, I left the Yuanwai Mansion, even if I went around the Yuanwai Mansion to check carefully, but still didn't find anything unusual, I had to go back to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu stupidly, and then carefully recall the details.

This night passed unusually slowly, and the bet with You Ruojun made me wonder, plus the transaction of the fox demon, the secret of the foreign mansion, and the back of Meng Yunzhong gradually walking away...... As soon as I closed my eyes, many fragmented and broken images continued to appear, many of them flashed by, or overlapped, stirring my chest tight, as if the demon poison had flare up again, and I had to hold the sword of Cangli tightly in my arms. Occasionally, I could hear the sound of Yun Jin sleeping soundly outside, he turned his body slightly, and Zhuo Yun Xiaozhu also shook slightly, this shock only made me suddenly wake up from my vague consciousness just now, and this state lasted until Yun Jin gently rubbed my door open with his nose. Zhuoyun Xiaozhu couldn't tell the difference between night and day, and I relied on Yunjin to wake me up in such a special way every morning, but this time, when Yunjin's huge head poked into the room and looked in the direction of the bed, I was already sitting in the hall.

It seemed taken aback, and looked at me for a moment before putting something from its mouth. It was a rag, and I picked it up, and when I touched its head, it whined comfortably, and when I looked closely, it seemed to be the corner of a scarf. I looked at Yunjin, smiled at it, and nodded, indicating that I understood. In fact, this is the way Yun Jin communicates with me, and these days it has been looking for traces of monsters or other demons around me, and then bringing back something from them to me, so that I can use this as a clue to find, of course, it will point me to the general direction and distance, so that I can find it quickly. Although I wondered how it managed to keep its massive body from being noticed by others, it seemed to have become a habit. Moreover, it always sends me information in this special way in the early morning, so it has time to play with me during the day, and at night I leave the building alone to look for clues.

I grabbed the half of the silk scarf it brought back, leaned to the side of my nose and sniffed it, I thought it would be a faint fragrance, but I unexpectedly smelled the man's unique body odor, I smiled at Yunjin and said, "The clues you are looking for are really getting more and more weird." ”

Yun Jin stuck his head out of the room again, and let out a strange humming sound, but he looked a little proud, as if he had deliberately given me a problem and seemed to have a sense of accomplishment. But then I could only make it a little unhappy.

"Yunjin, I'm going to the town today, I can't accompany you, you can rest in Xiaozhu obediently. "For some reason, I did feel a little guilty when I said this, because I saw Yun Jin stunned for a moment, and then his eyes instantly showed a sad look, he snorted softly, turned around and walked away silently.

"How about I find that monster as soon as possible tonight and come back with you?"

I promised it behind it, but it was still a little lost, and only responded to me lightly, and slowly walked around to the back of the small building.

I sighed, and suddenly felt that I gradually stopped seeing it as a spirit animal, it seemed to have its own feelings and thoughts, it became more and more dependent on me, willing to accompany me all the time, and I also felt more and more that it was very close to me, and began to treat it with an attitude towards people, and would try to take care of its feelings, and feel its mood from its every move. It's just that today, I had to go to the town, naturally because of the bet with You Ruojun.

Today's town is extremely lively, it seems to be a market day, and even the originally quiet Mengjun Villa gate is bustling with a few stalls on both sides, and occasionally pedestrians will come over to take a look. The family named Yingfu was unhurried and still swept the dust at the door, and the voices of people who were not noisy, the door of Mengjun Villa presented an extremely peaceful picture, even the door of the villa was open, and it seemed that it was also deliberately absorbing the popularity of harmony.

I was still wearing a folk woman's long skirt, slowly bypassing the pond and weeping willows at the entrance of Mengjun Villa, pretending to be on the stall with the girl's rouge gouache, and then, when I raised my eyes again, the gate of Mengjun Villa was already in front of me, and the fresh and clean smell flowing from the village made me smell very comfortable, because this smell was also mixed with his smell.

The man named Yingfu was still waving his broom silently beside me, and did not seem to notice that I was slowly walking towards him, until I stood still in front of him, and when he looked up, he was at first a little surprised, stopped what he was doing, and then looked dazed. In addition, I deliberately showed some cowardice and hesitation, which made him feel even more confused.

"Little brother, may I ask if there is a person surnamed Meng in this house?"

"Uh...... Oh, yes. He shook his head before he reacted, "That's my master's sworn brother." Are you looking for him?"

"Hmmm......"

"Then you wait, I'll go in and help you get the word out. ”

I hurriedly stopped him, I didn't come here to meet Meng Yunzhong like this.

"No, little brother, I just wanted to ask you to bring me something for him. As I spoke, I took out an envelope from my sleeve, which contained a sweat towel, which I had found a few days ago when I was cleaning the wooden house, and its owner was naturally the person I wanted to see in the house.

I handed the envelope to Yingfu, saluted him, thanked him, and turned away. After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but look back at the gate of Mengjun Villa, even if there was a deliberate component, there was still a faint trace of expectation and concern from my heart. An ordinary mahogany door, and it was still open, and the person in my heart was somewhere inside, but I couldn't go in at the moment, and I felt a little lost. I saw Yingfu holding the envelope in his hand, still standing there looking at me in confusion, I nodded slightly to him again, quickly turned around and walked away eagerly.

Walking in the crowded crowd of the market, but it seemed that I couldn't hear what people were talking and what transactions they were making, so I unconsciously walked to the other end of the market, and looked up to see that it was the Fu Yuanwaifu. As soon as I came back from my distraction, I saw that the gate of the Yuanwaifu was ajar, and there seemed to be a sighing voice. I wanted to avoid it, but when I think about it, I'm just an ordinary folk woman from top to bottom, so it's not surprising that I'm just passing by here when I'm visiting the market. So I stood on one side of the gate openly, and waited for the gate to open to see what the people living in the outer house looked like.

After a while, the door that had faded for a long time was opened by an old servant in a dark brown cotton cloth, and then he respectfully stepped aside, and behind him was a young man in a brocade robe, dressed a little exquisitely, with a high-quality Hetian jade pendant pinned to his waist, holding a closed origami fan, which did not look ordinary, and this person knew that he had some status in the mansion at a glance.

"Young Master, you go slowly. ”

The old servant stepped aside and bent the old waist but sent the young man out of the gate very politely, sure enough, this person should be the eldest young master of the Fuyuan Outer Mansion, no wonder he has the air of a rich man, but it doesn't look very arrogant and extravagant, so much a little elegant, not annoying.

He smiled at the old servant, and stepped out of the threshold gracefully. I stood aside and watched his every move, but I still couldn't see how different he was from ordinary people. It wasn't until he went out and bypassed me that I suddenly froze in place, and there was a turbid evil qi on his body! To be precise, it was demonic energy. I had a lot of speculations, but anyway, I concluded that he didn't look like a demon. In this way, it is true that this foreign government is not as simple as I seem.

When the young master was getting farther and farther away, I turned my head to ponder his back indistinctly, could it be that there was a demon beside him? But looking at his appearance, it was not mysterious or frightening, maybe this demon was just hidden in the mansion, and no one knew his identity yet.

Originally, I could have followed him to find out what was going on and found the prescription that could cure You Ruojun, but now I can't, because I have another more important thing.
