In front of the flower bed.

The doors of the hut were closed, the windows were hidden, and there was silence.

Surrounded by flowers and green leaves.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

But at this moment, Luo Qingfeng's heart seemed to be awakened to the day he went to Linshan Village to pick up his relatives, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Hey, what about you!"

"If we don't speak, we're going to call the guards!"

Two maids walked out of the flower garden with flower baskets in their hands, holding small flower hoes in their hands, looking fierce.

Luo Qingfeng's gaze was withdrawn from the wooden house in front of him, and he glanced at them and said, "I was endorsing the book just now, so I came here in a trance, I'm really sorry if I disturb the two girls." ”

One of the maids snorted, "Didn't you lie that a girl brought you here just now?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "I just read it wrong, it's not one, it's two,"

Another maid immediately raised the flower hoe in her hand slightly, as if she was about to hit someone, and said with a straight face: "I'm lying again!" I just came here alone! ”

Luo Qingfeng arched his hand and said: "When I was endorsing the book just now, I accidentally entered the bamboo forest, and then I smelled a charming fragrance of flowers, so I came here unconsciously, and then I saw the two girls picking flowers in the flower garden. I thought that the flowers in the flower garden were purple and red, competing for beauty, and they were already extremely beautiful, but the two girls were squatting in the flowers, their black hair was like clouds, their dresses were like flowers, and their appearance was even more delicate and lovely, a hundred times more beautiful than the flowers around. In a trance, I thought it was the flower fairy who had gone down to earth by the two fairies to pick flowers again, so I couldn't help but come over. Wasn't it brought down by two girls? ”

As soon as these words came out, the two little maids who had just been full of fierce faces suddenly "poofed" and smiled, their faces were pink, and they spitted: "Flim tongue, so serious!" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "What I said below is true. If there is deception, you will be burned! ”

The two maids saw that he was good-looking, graceful, and dressed as a scholar, and their hearts were already curious and happy, just to scare him, but at this time, they saw him speak gently, respectfully and politely, and praised themselves like this, and suddenly their hearts couldn't help but be happy, and their attitude immediately became better.

"Are you really the new teacher recruited by the Great Butler?"

"We remember that the teaching gentlemen we recruited were all old gentlemen?"

"You're so young, do you really have what it takes?"

"How did you convince the Grand Butler to keep you?"

"Childe, what's your name?"

The two little maids are only in their teens, it is the season of innocence, and they have never been out of the mansion, and they have not even been to the front yard.

However, Luo Qingfeng didn't have much time and mood.

He answered some questions as patiently as he could, then suddenly looked at the cabin in front of him and asked, "By the way, two girls, the wooden house in front looks so elegant, does anyone live in it?" ”

The taller maid on the left smiled and said, "There is no one living there, it is a place to rest, and there is nothing in the house." ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "Can I go over and have a look?" ”

The shorter maid on the right smiled and said, "Of course, let's take you there!" ”

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly said, "Thank you two flower fairy girls." ”

The two maids immediately covered their mouths and smiled, and one said: "What kind of flower fairy girl, people call Xiaoduo, she is called Xiaomei." ”

Luo Qingfeng glanced at it and remembered it.

The tall and flat-chested one is called Xiaoduo, and the petite and majestic one is called Xiaomei.

"By the way, Miss Xiaoduo, Miss Xiaomei, apart from you coming here to pick flowers, will anyone else come here to pick flowers?"

Luo Qingfeng asked again pretending to be very casual.

"Of course there is, many maids and servants will come, but there are flower gardens in other parts of the house, and there are not many people who usually come, and there will be a lot of people during the New Year's holidays."

"Do you usually come to pick flowers, is it morning or afternoon, or is the sun setting?"

"It's mostly in the morning."

While the three of them were chatting, they had already come to the cabin.

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly took a step forward, walked in front, and said, "Two girls, let's get busy, just go in and have a look by yourself." ”

The two little maids were reluctant, still following him, and said, "Our flowers have already been picked." ”

Luo Qingfeng didn't speak again, his whole body tensed, and he stepped forward and slowly pushed open the wooden door.

"Squeak......

The door opened, and the room was cramped, empty, and empty.

Sunlight poured in through the windows, leaving only the dusty floor and a few petals blown in by the wind.

Luo Qingfeng entered the hut, but still didn't find anything.

Xiao Duo and Xiao Mei also followed in with a basket of flowers, looking at him with happy faces.

"Childe, shall we play in the house for a while?"

"Can you tell us about the outside?"

The three of them stood in the house, somewhat crowded.

Two baskets of flowers came in, and the house was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the two girls were delicate and cute, innocent, and did not know how to avoid it, and they wanted to listen to the story in this room.

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Go out, there is still something to do, and when you have time, you will come and tell the two girls." ”

So saying, he squeezed the two of them out of the doorway.

Xiaomei immediately exclaimed "oops", covered her full chest and blushed and said, "Childe, you have squeezed into someone's house!" ”

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly apologized outside the house, but he did not let his guard down.

The two little maids came out of the house, both red-faced, glaring at him.

"Dengzi!"

"It's on purpose!"

"Humph! Let's go, ignore him! ”

The two maids pouted, carried the flower basket and left.

Luo Qingfeng had to apologize again and leave.

He glanced back at the wooden house behind him, looked around again, and secretly wondered in his heart: if someone really entered, it would not have disappeared suddenly, and this wooden house must be strange. The maid named Lian'er brought him over, I don't know what it means? Is it a demonic illusion, or what?

He was now a cultivator of the Open Heaven Five-Star Realm, and if it was an ordinary illusion, he should not be confused.

If it's really an illusion, then this demon is even more terrifying.

Thinking like this, he quickly followed the two little maids out of the flower garden and into the bamboo forest.

"Childe, do you want to go through the back door?"

The two little maids were only angry for a while, and they were reluctant to part with him at this time.

Luo Qingfeng said: "Yes, can the two girls help lead the way?" ”

Ah Duojiao smiled: "Yes, yes, then what benefits do you give our sisters?" ”

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "When I come back, bring sugar gourds for the two girls to eat." ”

"Sugar gourd?"

When the two little maids heard this, their faces were full of doubts, and they didn't seem to know what the sugar gourd was.

Luo Qingfeng said strangely: "Haven't you eaten it?" ”

Both shook their heads.

Ah Mei swallowed her saliva and said, "Is it delicious?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said secretly: Poor.

It is estimated that the house is not allowed to sneak that kind of thing in, and the two maids have never gone out, so until now, they have not eaten or seen it.

Luo Qingfeng said: "It's delicious, don't tell anyone else, when I come back, I'll bring it to you to eat." ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were immediately full of joy.

"Childe, don't lie to people!"

"If you lie to us, hmph, we'll go and tell the big butler that you despise us!"

Luo Qingfeng nodded solemnly.

The two of them were overjoyed and led him to the back door.

Luo Qingfeng followed behind him, silently remembering the road again, and secretly wondered in his heart: This road should not be forgotten just now, why did he walk and walk to the bamboo forest?

If it's a monster, it's even more terrifying.

Could it be that there was a problem with the lunch he had before? Otherwise, with his cultivator's physique and spirit, it would be impossible for him to be affected so easily, and he would not even forget the path.

"Childe, it's here! Just go through the front garden, we can't go over, there are guards. ”

The two maids stopped in front of the garden gate.

Luo Qingfeng thanked him and prepared to leave.

Ah Mei hurriedly reminded again: "Don't forget, Childe, sugar gourd!" ”

Luo Qingfeng nodded, and just after taking a few steps, Ah Duo suddenly said, "By the way, Son, which courtyard do you live in?" We'll look for you then, or you won't find us. ”

Luo Qingfeng said secretly in his heart: Is this because I am afraid that I will deceive people, and I even remember the address?

"Green Bamboo Garden."

He replied and walked away quickly.

I don't know if Sister Nightingale has already entered the house at this time.

When he reached the back door, the guard stopped and asked him a few words, and then let him out, presumably having received orders.

Luo Qingfeng went out from the alley, made a big circle, and came to the street that led to the front gate.

Walking around the corner, you can vaguely see something under the steps of the gate.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that no one appeared, he didn't waste any more time, and left directly and walked towards the Demon Suppression Courtyard.

Judging from the current situation, he will definitely not be able to go back in a short time, so he needs to leave a note for Senior Bai, so as not to make the other party wait in a hurry when he gets it, and it will be troublesome.

Think about it.

The treatment in Ning Guofu seems to be much better than that of the Demon Suppression Courtyard.

In an independent courtyard, the maids are served, there is meat every day, there are only four days of teaching in a month, there are twenty taels of silver, and occasionally there are large rewards, and there is no one to disturb there, so you can practice with peace of mind.

If it weren't for the advanced Demon Suppression Academy, he would have been really tempted.

However, now he has not participated in the new disciple ceremony of the Demon Suppression Academy, and he has not signed a treaty, so he can regret it at any time.

However, Ning Guofu is too weird now.

If it weren't for the fear of Sister Nightingale's safety, he would definitely not dare to go in.

Thinking about things all the way, he quickly returned to the North Courtyard.

When I came to the library pavilion, the door was still locked, and it was obvious that the white senior and Granny Ning had not yet returned.

He took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from his storage bag, left a note, and sandwiched it between the cracks in the door, and then left.

Out of the north courtyard, he first went to a few butcher shops, spent four taels of silver to buy a lot of cooked meat and put it in a storage bag, then went to the grocery store to buy a large bag of lime powder, and then went to the bookstore to buy a few books, hugged them in his arms, and then walked towards Ning Guofu.

As soon as I walked to the street leading to the front door, I suddenly saw a group of guards and servants, hugging a sedan chair, walking towards the alley in front.

Then, it stopped at the door of Ning Guofu.

When Luo Qingfeng was looking carefully, he suddenly found that the tall figure standing on the right side of the sedan chair was somewhat familiar.

The figure was wearing a white shirt and red dress, the same as the figures of several other women holding weapons next to her, but the tall and graceful figure was particularly eye-catching.

"Sister Nightingale!"

It looks like she's blended in with the women's guards!

Luo Qingfeng was about to take a closer look when several guards behind him suddenly turned around and looked at this side vigilantly.

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly hugged the book and turned to leave.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately walked to the back door alley of Ning Guofu.

Judging from the pomp and circumstance of the sedan chair just now, it should be a nobleman in the house, and it is also a very expensive nobleman, it is estimated that it is a certain lady.

I don't know if the other people from the Demon Suppression Courtyard have already entered, except for Sister Nightingale.

While thinking about things, I walked forward.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had forgotten to buy sugar gourds for the two little maids, and that he would like to inquire about something from them when the time comes.

Anyone in the house is suspicious, and they are useful.

He immediately turned around and returned to the street, and after searching for a while, he finally found a seller of sugar gourds.

After thinking about it, he directly bought five skewers, wrapped them in oiled paper, and threw them into the storage bag.

Only then did he return to Ningguofu.

When he entered through the back door, the guard asked him solemnly, opened every book in his arms and examined it, and prepared to search his body.

At this time, a crisp voice sounded in the garden in front: "That's my son-in-law!" The chief steward has let the slave and maid wait for him here! ”

When the guard saw her, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

He also said: "In the future, there will be an identity nameplate, or someone in the house will lead you to enter and exit, this is the rule of the house." ”

Luo Qingfeng agreed, took the book, and left.

Xiao Tao trotted over, helped him take the book in his arms, and gasped: "Childe, I'm sorry, slave...... The slave maid was just cleaning the yard and was late......"

Luo Qingfeng said: "It's okay, I just arrived." ”

When the two walked through the garden and walked to a place where no one was, Luo Qingfeng pretended to be very casual and asked, "By the way, Xiao Tao, have you heard of a maid named Ah Lian?" ”

When Xiao Tao heard this, she was surprised: "Sister Ah Lian?" is to serve the fourth lady, but I heard that some time ago, she has left. Childe knows her? ”

Luo Qingfeng secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, there is such a person.

He said again: "Isn't it very beautiful, with a beauty mole at the corner of your mouth?" ”

Xiao Tao nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Ah Lian is very good, Childe really knows her?" ”

Luo Qingfeng didn't answer, and asked again, "What does it mean that she left?" Was it sold? ”

Xiao Tao thought for a while and said: "The slave maid doesn't know, the maid on the fourth lady's side said that Sister Ah Lian left very suddenly, she was still playing and laughing with everyone the day before, and she left the next day, everyone said that it was estimated that Sister Ah Lian's family suddenly had money, and came to redeem her." However, she didn't say a word to everyone, which was a little strange. ”

Luo Qingfeng's heart moved, and said, "Did any maids see her out of the house?" ”

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "Where do the slaves know, but those maids who are good with Sister Ah Lian should not know, otherwise they won't privately complain that Sister Ah Lian is not righteous and doesn't say a word when she leaves." ”

Luo Qingfeng didn't speak again.

Obviously, the maid named Ah Lian is not out of the house, something should have happened, and the house deliberately concealed it.

Looks like he's going to have to check it out again tonight.

The other party suddenly appeared and led him over, and it seemed that there was no intention of harm, and nothing terrible happened.

Maybe it's not magic, it's something else.

A master and a servant soon returned to the green bamboo garden.

Xiao Tao carried the books directly into the room and placed them on the bookshelf next to them very seriously.

When Luo Qingfeng entered the house, he found that there was no quilt on the small bed outside, but on the big bed in the inner room, there were two pillows, one large and one small.

Xiao Tao saw him looking at the big bed inside, and suddenly blushed, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.
