Chapter 61: The House
Today, the camphor tree still stands here, guarding the house.
It's just that the plaque on the house has changed, and it is no longer 'Shangshu Mansion' but has been replaced by a plaque called 'Li Mansion'.
Just as the door opened, a guest came out of the door.
Zhan Lu saw that the scenery inside the door had also changed, and the cherry blossom tree where she and Chiwi had met was long gone.
The current courtyard is paved with stone slabs, and several potted plants are placed on both sides of the aisle.
and the former Shangshu Mansion are two extreme styles.
In the past, the family loved flowers and plants, and in addition to the aisle, the front yard was not paved with stone slabs, but the soil was maintained, and several cherry trees were planted.
And now the yard is simple and atmospheric, except for potted plants, there is not a single weed.
Zhan Lu was a little lost, but comforted herself.
"Also, it's been hundreds of years, and it's impossible to keep it as it was."
I don't know how many people have lived in this house, and even the bricks and tiles have been renovated I don't know how many times.
The only thing that remains, is the stout camphor tree.
From the moment Shangshu Mansion was seized and all the family members were driven out of the mansion, there was no way back here.
There will never be a return to the way it used to be.
Seeing off the doorman, the door of the house closed again, cutting off the already unrecognizable front yard from the sight of the two.
Twilight took Zhanlu's hand, hoping it would give her some comfort.
He didn't know how to comfort Zhan Lu, after two hundred years, he revisited the old place, the scenery and people were unrecognizable, and he couldn't go back to the scene he missed.
It's impossible to say that you're not sad, sad, or nostalgic, he and Zhan Lu are in the same mood.
So at this time, all he can do is stay by Zhan Lu's side.
There is no going back, but there is still him, he is still there, and they still have a future.
After lingering in front of the house for a while, Zhan Lu pulled Twilight away, and it was getting late, and it was time for them to go back to the inn.
On the way back, Zhan Lu was still a little depressed, and she told Qiandi about her parents.
Zhan Lu: "Qiandu, when I come back to the world, there is actually one more thing to do. ”
"I have been in the afterlife realm for two hundred years, and I have never met the reincarnation of my parents, and I suspect that something happened to their souls."
Speaking of this, she was a little scared, she hoped that the result would be good, she hoped that the souls of her parents were still there, but they were detained by someone.
Instead of being scattered.
She was afraid to see that outcome.
"On the previous mission, when I went to the border with you, I had explored, but I didn't find them there."
A few months before the New Year's Festival, they received a mission related to demons, and the location happened to be at the border pass.
She and Twilight had gone with her, and on the way to the mission, she had gone to the battlefield to investigate.
There are many souls buried in the battlefield, but among the thousands of souls, there is no trace of her parents' souls.
Twilight remembered that she was talking about the monster incident that had nothing to do with the demons not long ago, when Zhan Lu had been to many places in the border pass, and he felt as if Zhan Lu was looking for something.
It's just that Zhan Lu didn't say anything at that time, so he didn't ask.
He comforted softly: "Don't worry yet, I'll accompany you to find it." ”
Zhan Lu nodded: "Hmm." ”
Yes, don't worry too much, now she is no longer the human Zhan Lu she used to be.
Even if her parents are in the worst case, she still has to find a trace of the remnant soul, and then raise it, and then let them have a chance to reincarnate.
She can do it.
If someone would detain the souls of her parents, that person would not have to think much about it, it must be a demon.
Only the demons would do such a thing, even if they had pushed her into the afterlife, they would never let her reunite with her parents.
Or maybe the demons are holding her parents for some other purpose.
When her father embezzled military salaries, some people saw that her father himself stunned the guards and took away the military salaries.
Afterwards, her father could not argue that he had indeed done it.
But that's not what he wants to do, he's just possessed and controlled by the demons.
At that time, she and Chiwi didn't understand the things of demons and demons, and the officialdom didn't recognize these bizarre things, so they couldn't overturn the case.
Looking back now, who else controlled her father at that time except for the demons?
This is in line with what the demon said, Zhan Lu snatched everything that should have belonged to her, so she wanted to take it away from Zhan Lu one by one.
First her parents, her home, and then made her mistakenly think that she was betrayed and killed by her beloved, and died with regret, separated from her beloved's life and death.
It's just that the inner demon didn't expect that she was not an ordinary person, but after her death, she was much more inspired and could sense the inner demon.
I know the tricks of the demons, and I know the truth of everything.
Otherwise, she would really do what the demons wanted.
Zhan Lu felt angry when she thought of this, she had to get rid of the demons in her heart, otherwise she would be sorry for herself.
Before dark, the group returned to the inn to meet.
After sitting down to eat something, Zhan Lu found that Nanque's clothes had changed, and the original coarse linen clothes were missing, and now she was wearing a set of girl's dresses that claimed to be in very good satin.
Liu Qinuo saw Zhan Lu looking at Nanque's clothes, and was a little proud: "How is it?" Look good. ”
Zhan Lu asked, "You bought it for her?" ”
Liu Qinuo was proud: "Yes, a meeting gift for her." "Senior Brother Dai Peijiu also sent a set."
"You didn't discuss it with us when you gave the bracelet yesterday, and we made up the clothes today."
"What's more, her original clothes were not good, and they were all scratched and scratched, and she had to throw them away."
Zhan Lu nodded: "Not bad." ”
Mao Zheng joined in the fun: "We couldn't afford to buy clothes, so we gave away jewelry." Dai Peilan nodded.
Zhan Lu saw that there were two more hairpins on Nanque's head that were not gorgeous, although they were not gorgeous, they were not the worst quality, and they were so good that they were inferior in quality.
Look at Nanque again, with an unconcealable joy on his face.
Zhan Lu asked her, "Do you like it?" The voice was faint, lukewarm, and there was no trace of emotion.
Nanque nodded, her face shy: "I like it." Her voice was raised, not a lie.
Zhan Lu smiled: "Then I'm tired after a day of walking, let's go up and rest early after eating." ”
"There is a vacant room today, and a new one will be opened for you next to us, so you can stay in that room first."
The room is next to her and Twilight, so they can detect Nanfin's movements.
In order not to be obtrusive, Zhan Lu said to Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan: "You two will go back to the room early to rest after eating." ”
Three peers of the same age should be treated equally.
Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan happily agreed: "Okay." ”
Anyway, they didn't want to stay and talk to the adults, and they could go back to the room and play with two people.
Nanque smiled sweetly: "Dinner, can I go to the room to eat?" ”
Zhan Lu nodded: "Go ahead." ”
It's more self-conscious than I imagined.,It's a sensitive child.。
Sensitive and sharp, it is difficult to catch the fox's tail.
