Everyone was silent in place, only Shen Jiangge, who had never spoken, asked hesitantly: "You say, her name is Li Mengzhi?" ”

"yes."

Li Wen replied with great certainty.

Shen Jiangge took out the letter given by Uncle Li in her arms, and her eyes fell on the big words "Li Mengzhi received", and she couldn't help frowning.

- People are crazy, how should I ask for this Uncle Li's medicine?

#############

Pingning Town is a small town in the west, with tea merchants from southern Xinjiang passing through here in the south, salt merchants from the south of the Yangtze River in the east going all the way to the west, and Huaibei, a military stronghold in the north, so it can be regarded as lively.

In the west, you can see the inscriptions of literati and ink writers everywhere.

Regardless of whether they are famous or not, and whether they are well written or not, literati are very popular in the West.

Walking on the streets of Pingning Town, two or three out of every four or five pedestrians passing by are dressed as scholars, and even some are reading books in one hand and holding the vegetables they just bought in the other.

"No wonder the world says that the cultural heritage of the West is rich, and the top spot every year is none other than the West people, so it seems that it is worthy of its name."

Although Ling Yun'er grew up in a pile of men after being a general, she still respects literati.

"In the west, every family has a study room for their children to read, and even the poorest ones will make room for a bookshelf."

Li Wen smiled faintly and said: "Therefore, in Yanxi, many families look inconspicuous, but in fact, there are people in the family who are big officials in Bianjing. ”

"Take the Mo family as an example, although the Mo family is located in the northernmost corner of the town, Mo Jinzhan of the Mo family is the person who is relied on by the saints today."

"It seems that this is indeed a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Ji Yuhan nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Li Wen's words.

"The Li Mansion you are looking for has arrived."

Li Wen dismounted, pointed to the plaque that was already full of dust, and said.

Shen Jiangge looked up, but saw that the original golden plaque was covered with cobwebs, and even the copper handle was covered with a thick layer of ash.

The red door was locked, and there was not even a single finch at the door.

There are only two stone lions, one left and one right, and I don't know how many years they have been quietly guarding this place.

Knee-high weeds had already grown in the crevices of the stone, almost submerging the white jade steps.

"Here, is the Li Mansion?"

Shen Jiangge thought about the dilapidated appearance of the Li Mansion, but when it really arrived, the real scene was even worse than she imagined.

"Well, yes. I'll go and knock. ”

Li Wen nodded, took a few steps forward, pulled open the copper buckle, and gently knocked three times.

Inside the door was quiet, and there was no movement.

Li Wen hesitated for a moment, and just wanted to knock again, but he heard the door "squeak-" and was opened by a withered hand.

Through the crack in the door peeked the head of an unkempt woman.

Her clothes were shabby, with a hole on the left and a patch on the right, and it looked like a piece of clothing had been worn for an unknown number of years.

Her hair was messy like a chicken nest, with a few sticks of dead grass interspersed between them.

Her face was withered, her face was sallow, her body was so thin that only her skeleton remained, and her eyes were sunken deeply, her gaze dull and cloudy.

"Shhhh

She glanced at a few people in a panic, put her finger to her lips and nervously made a silent motion.

"Auntie, it's me, Wen'er!"

Li Wen did not dislike Li Mengzhi, but took her hand and said with concern.

"Wen'er? Which Wen'er? Are you sent by him to kill me? I don't know anything, I don't know anything......"

Li Mengzhi seemed to have seen the devil, and after chattering, he pulled his messy hair, and shook his head frantically like a demon for a while.

She shuddered, screamed, and stumbled towards the house.

"Auntie!"

Li Wen was worried that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly followed.

Shen Jiangge and the others had no choice but to dismount and follow into the Li Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the Li Mansion, Shen Jiangge saw weeds coming out of the cracks in the stone and growing wildly, with ruins and broken tiles everywhere, and even the only pavilion was left with a shell.

After a while, rats jumped by, making Ling Yun'er scream again and again.

"Here...... Can it be lived? ”

Ling Yun'er looked at the bleak scene around her in disbelief and said suspiciously.

"If Li Mengzhi has been crazy for fifteen years, then the dilapidation here is understandable. I just don't know how she has spent the past fifteen years. ”

Ji Yuhan shook his head and said with a sigh.

"I think this Li Mengzhi is really crazy, what we are looking for may not be there......"

Qi Ge lowered his voice and said in Ji Yuhan's ear.

"Well, if that's the case, then it's hanging."

Ji Yuhan's gaze fell on a desk in the main hall.

The desk has fallen into disrepair and has fallen off specks of red paint, but compared with the clutter in other places, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk are neatly placed.

He looked closer, and the ink in the inkstone seemed to have just been polished.

"Strange ......"

Ji Yuhan was just about to step forward to take a closer look, but he heard a sharp voice behind him-

"You were sent by him, you were sent by him! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you! ”

He turned his head suddenly, but saw Li Mengzhi holding a brick and smashing it towards him viciously!

Ji Yuhan skillfully turned sideways, Li Mengzhi pounced, and the whole person lay on the desk, splashing the ink in the inkstone.

In an instant, her already yellow face had a few more black inks.

It seems that it is even more miserable.

"Senpai, be careful."

Shen Jiangge couldn't bear it, stepped forward and pulled up Li Mengzhi, who had fallen to the ground, and took out the Jinpa from his arms.

She was just about to wipe the ink stains on Li Mengzhi's face, but Li Mengzhi curled up and took a few steps back.

Li Mengzhi trembled and shrank beside the corner of the desk, her frightened eyes fell on Ji Yuhan's body, and she kept holding her head and chanting: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me......"

Shen Jiangge saw it in his eyes, and his heart was inexplicably sour.

She squatted down, looked at Li Mengzhi, and said sincerely: "Senior, we are not here to kill you, don't worry." It's dirty here, I'll wipe it for you. ”

Li Mengzhi hesitated for a moment after hearing her words, she swept her gaze to Ji Yuhan, and then fell on Shen Jiangge, the panic and fear in her eyes gradually faded.

Shen Jiangge saw that she was quiet, so he took a Jinpa and gently wiped the ink off her face for her.

Her movements were very gentle, for fear of frightening Li Mengzhi again.

And Li Mengzhi looked at Shen Jiangge directly, and the messy hair on her forehead blocked a touch of deep relief and joy in the depths of her eyes.

Shen Jiangge raised his eyes and met her eyes, and he was stunned.

——This kind of look is the same as when she first saw Li Mengzhi, it seems that it is no longer cloudy and chaotic, but instead it is a lucidity that makes her feel delusional.

But it was only for a moment, Li Mengzhi grabbed Shen Jiangge, and almost cried and laughed madly: "You go away, you go away!" You go!! ”

Shen Jiangge was pushed out by her, and the whole person stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
