This request was not excessive, and the scholar hurriedly agreed, ran to get a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to his uncle.

I don't know if it's because of the presence of Du Zhong next to him, this scholar seems to want to prove himself in front of him, so a letter is written with dragons and phoenixes, iron and silver hooks, and the wording is also deliberate.

Du Zhong only glanced at it, and didn't even bother to say anything.

After Du Ruo read it, he was embarrassed to say anything, but secretly hoped in his heart that this scholar's uncle was also a reader who could read and break sentences, otherwise he really didn't know what to do when the time came.

Leaving the academy, in order to avoid long nights and long dreams that are prone to change, Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou set off immediately, saying that they would finish solving the strange case of the murder house and go home for a day or two before returning to Beijing to resume their lives.

In order to assure her father that she would do what she said, Du Ruo also left Du Qu behind, although the little girl was a little reluctant and wanted to go to Tonghe County with her, but she also knew very well that she couldn't help with her own skills, so she could only watch Du Zhi follow Du Ruo and them to set off together.

The scholar's uncle's family lived at the junction of the two counties, and the first place they settled was there.

After walking for more than an hour, Ye Yuanzhou finally found a place when they stopped to drink water and take a short rest, and opened his mouth to ask Du Ruo about the doubts he had just held back all the way.

"When I saw my uncle yesterday, I felt that his temperament seemed to have a little bit of an old naughty boy, but when I went to the academy with him today, I felt that he was like a high-minded and arrogant person, with an estranged attitude and few words."

Ye Yuanzhou was embarrassed to say that Du Zhong was a little bit of a broken mouth in front of his daughter, and he was afraid that Du Ruo would be unhappy, so he deliberately expressed it a little more subtlely: "So I can't help but be a little curious, which one is the real character of my uncle?" ”

"Both." Du Ruo was not surprised at all by Ye Yuanzhou's curiosity, "My father has two faces.

His frame to outsiders is not small at all, he ignores everyone, and if he can explain things clearly in one sentence, he will not say a word, not to mention that words are like gold, but also with a little bit of that meaning.

But back at home, he didn't have any shape at all, he used to be a talking basket in front of my mother, and then my mother went early, and he told me all the words that couldn't be held! ”

After finishing speaking, Du Ruo paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "When you played chess with my father last night, what did he say to you?" ”

"Many." Ye Yuanzhou nodded.

Du Ruo touched his nose, brushed his robe while clearing his throat, stood up from the big stone where he was resting, and looked up at the sun in the sky: "Look, it's not too early at this hour, let's hurry as soon as possible!" ”

Du Zhi was on the side, and when he heard his young lady's words, his expression was a little puzzled: "Miss, when did you see the sun so accurately?" ”

Du Ruo cleared his throat, pretending that he hadn't heard Du Zhi's words, and secretly sped up a little and walked towards the tree where the horse was tethered.

Ye Yuanzhou lowered his head slightly, suppressed the smile that had reached the corner of his mouth, and when he raised his head again, he had already recovered his normal color, got up and strode after Du Ruo, helping her untie the reins tied to the tree.

The group continued to hurry, walked for more than an hour, and finally came to the Zhuangzi where the scholar's uncle's house was located.

The scholar's uncle, surnamed Tong, originally moved to the county seat of Tonghe County because of business, but because he was frightened by the murderous house, he couldn't do business, so he simply moved back to the ancestral house at the junction of the two counties and lived by collecting land rent.

As soon as he heard that he was introduced by his nephew, Boss Tong was extremely enthusiastic, and he didn't even ask what the identities of Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou were, so he greeted people home.

However, this Boss Tong is indeed a person who has not studied very seriously, holding his nephew's handwritten letter, frowning and looking at it for a long time, feeling that every word on it can almost be called known, but it is put together, and there is no meaning of a sentence that he can understand.

However, Boss Tong felt that his nephew was a person who read sage books and university questions, and the friend who was able to make him write a letter must not be an ordinary white ding.

Especially looking at Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou, their appearance is extraordinary, and their temperament is also outstanding to everyone, he doesn't care whether he can understand the content of the letter, he immediately treats the two of them as guests and warmly welcomes them into the door.

Du Ruo couldn't laugh or cry, although this Boss Tong trusted them extremely much, she still had to make an introduction, although it couldn't be said that she came here on the emperor's orders to make an unannounced visit, another identity can always be said.

She only said that she was the daughter of Du Zhong, and she was a classmate with Boss Tong's nephew, because she had always liked to collect all kinds of strange legends, and heard about the murderous mansion in Tonghe County, and happened to learn that Boss Tong used to live next to the murderous mansion, so she asked her classmates to write a letter for herself, and wanted to come over to ask one or two.

Boss Tong heard that it was Du Zhong's daughter, and he was immediately overjoyed, who in this area of Yuzhou does not know that Duanshan Du Jia is a strange person, and the others are a famous doctor.

Du Ruo's own high school hall temptation flower has long been famous.

Having such a distinguished guest come to the door can simply add a bit of glory to his township.

But as soon as he heard that the distinguished guest had come to inquire about the ghost house in Tonghe County, Boss Tong suddenly collapsed.

"Two distinguished guests, this world is so big, there are great rivers and mountains everywhere, why do you two want to inquire about such unlucky things!" Boss Tong shuddered, "That house is not only fierce, it's just very unlucky!"

I have a good yard, stunned because it is close to the murderous house, I can't live in it, I can't sell it, I just want to rent it out at a low price, just to add a little bit of yang, that's all no one cares! ”

"What kind of family did the house live in before? There is nothing to do with the neighbors, and it should have nothing to do with feng shui, so why did that one become a murderous house? Du Ruo asked.

Boss Tong sighed heavily: "What can I say!" This thing is so strange! Those of us who used to live in the neighborhood also secretly discussed it in private, and we all wondered if their house had collided with something to make it like this. ”
