Chapter 40: Tell the Truth
"In this way, Tong Yue is not here, can you help me pick it up, I am really in a hurry to use this embroidery, so I ......" the woman said.
Murong Ni nodded at her: "Then you wait a while, I'll show you." ”
"Eh, thank you!" the woman said hurriedly.
Murong Ni turned around and walked into the courtyard and walked towards Tong Yue's room.
When she came to the house, she first took a cursory look, and suddenly found a red handkerchief on top of the low cabinet beside it, on which was embroidered with beautiful tie flowers with needle and thread, and walked towards the low cabinet.
Murong Ni picked up the embroidery, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly saw a gap open at the bottom of the low cabinet, and the contents seemed to be full.
She was stunned for a moment, then opened the bottom drawer, and when she boarded, a cabinet of medium-grade spirit stones appeared in front of her.
As far as she knew, Tong Wei and Tong Yue sisters came to the Kunlun Sect as miscellaneous disciples because their families were patriarchal and often beaten at home, and their original families were not rich, where did they get so many spirit stones?
Murong Ni took a cursory look at the number of spirit stones, which was about a few dozen or one hundred, and then closed the drawer again, and walked out with the embroidery sample.
After dinner, Tong Wei and Tong Yue walked out of the Lingcai Hall hand in arm, Tong Wei turned around and glanced at Wan Xiaodie who was following behind her, and said angrily: "Go faster! Look at your wooden appearance, you have no chance in your life!"
Tong Yue also turned her head to look at Wan Xiaodie, and then smiled at Tong Wei: "Sister, you can tell what she can say, she has to bring her to dinner together, I want to see it, even if Murong Ni asks her, she doesn't dare to say anything!"
Tong Wei glanced at Tong Yue, then looked in the direction of Wan Xiaodie again, and said with a sneer: "Wan Xiaodie, I advise you not to make any ideas in your heart, don't forget who the other party is, as long as you dare to leak the slightest rumor, you and your father don't want to live!"
As the words fell, Wan Xiaodie's figure shook slightly.
Tong Yue pulled Tong Wei and said, "Sister, what do you care about her, in my opinion, even if Murong Ni knows about this matter, she won't dare to make any move!"
"Okay, okay," Tong Wei also turned her head to look at Tong Yue, and then said, "Let's go back quickly, I guess at this point, Murong Ni should be in the courtyard soon." ”
Tong Wei and Tong Yue quickened their pace to go back, and suddenly a voice came to them.
"It's Tong Yue!"
Tong Yue raised her head and saw the woman walking towards her.
"Aunt Li?" Tong Yue's voice was full of doubts.
The woman smiled and raised the red handkerchief in her hand, and then said: "I went to your courtyard just now to find you to get the embroidery, and you are not there, so I will ask the new man in your courtyard to help you get it, okay, now I have told you, then I will leave!"
After finishing speaking, the woman's figure walked away, leaving only Tong Yue with a puzzled face.
Suddenly, Tong Yue's face changed, and she exclaimed, "Oh no!"
When Tong Wei and Tong Yue arrived in the courtyard, Murong Ni was drying her freshly washed clothes.
Tong Yue and Tong Wei stood at the door, glanced at each other, and then walked into the courtyard.
First, Tong Wei smiled: "Ah, Xiao Nier is doing laundry." ”
Tong Yue also continued: "We just came back from the Lingyu Hall, Xiao Nier, have you had dinner?"
After hearing the voices of the two of them, Murong Ni looked over, and then said lightly, "I ate outside." ”
Tong Wei really couldn't think of anything to communicate with Murong Ni, so she had to go back to the room with Tong Yue and the others.
After returning to the room, Tong Yue hurriedly opened the drawer full of medium-grade spirit stones and counted them one by one.
"One hundred medium-grade spirit stones, no less, no less," Tong Yue breathed a sigh of relief after counting, turned her head to Tong Wei and said, "It seems that she didn't find it." ”
"Let's take advantage of Murong Ni's absence tomorrow to quickly store these spirit stones, it's too dangerous to put them in this house. Tong Wei said.
Tong Yue nodded, and then closed the drawer.
"Then let's go tomorrow. ”
No one knows when Wan Xiaodie returned, but at night, Murong Ni heard a small knock on the door.
Murong Ni put on a dress, then walked to the door of the room, listening carefully to the knock outside.
"Little Nier...... Little Nill ...... "The man outside shouted in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.
Hearing this, Murong Ni hurriedly opened the door, and then pulled Wan Xiaodie through the door.
"Little Nier!" Wan Xiaodie was slightly surprised, but saw that Murong Ni cautiously looked outside to see if anyone had noticed, and then closed the door again.
After Murong Ni closed the door, she turned around and walked to the table, and found a stool to sit down at random.
Seeing this, Wan Xiaodie's eyes moved slightly, lowered her head, and whispered, "Little Nier, I ...... before I didn't mean to hide it from you. ”
Murong Ni pointed to another stool opposite her, and then said, "Sit down and talk." ”
Wan Xiaodie originally thought that Murong Ni would be angry with herself because of what happened before, but she didn't expect that her emotions were calm now, so she walked towards the stool she pointed to.
"You tell me first, where Sister Xue went. Murong Ni looked at Wan Xiaodie and said with a serious face.
Wan Xiaodie's eyes moved slightly, and then said, "Sister Xue, she has indeed gone down the mountain. ”
"What about Sister Xu?"
"Sister Xu, she ......" Wan Xiaodie raised her head to look at Murong Ni, her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice couldn't help choking: "She...... She's in the back mountain. ”
Murong Ni looked at Wan Xiaodie's appearance, and her heart couldn't help but sink, not knowing that she had stood up, and looked at her with a frown.

Back Mountain
On the thick snow, a corner of a withered grass-colored mat was exposed.
Murong Ni was wearing only thin clothes and ran in that direction, and Wan Xiaodie behind her planted several heels on the ground in order to keep up with her.
Running to the mat, Murong Ni looked at the things in front of her in a daze.
The snow-covered straw mat wrapped the woman's corpse, and the blood on the ground was frozen at this time, and the woman's hand was still exposed, and her eyes were round, and she looked dead.
Hot tears overflowed from Murong Ni's eyes.
"Sister Xu...... Sister Xu...... "Murong Ni knelt on the snow, looked at the corpse rolled by the broken mat, and cried bitterly.
Wan Xiaodie finally chased after her, and when she saw the woman in the mat, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Who did that?" Murong Ni said in amazement.
