Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mystery Grows

"Return the elixir, a bottle of medium-grade spirit stones. The guy from the Dan Pharmacy put the bottle of Returning Spirit Pill in front of Murong Ni, and looked at the child in front of him wearing a miscellaneous disciple's uniform with a little disdain in his eyes.

Murong Ni's little hand squeezed it gently, and then took out the medium-grade spirit stone from her pocket and put it on the table: "I want a bottle of spirit pill." ”

The guy was a little surprised, but when he saw that the medium-grade spirit stone was a genuine medium-grade spirit stone, he didn't have any further doubts and handed the thing to Murong Ni.

After walking out of the Dan Pharmacy, Qiyi stepped forward, Murong Ni raised her hand and gently touched its head, and said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer, Qiyi, let's wait a little longer......"

Qiyi nodded obediently, then lowered his body and motioned for Murong Ni to sit down.

After Murong Ni sat up, Qiyi quickly flew in the direction of Luoyang Peak.

It was late at night.

When Murong Ni came to the door of Kong Xiaogu's house, it was just like that night, the dim light was still on in the simple house, but today, the light was darker.

Thinking of the grandmother with a kind smile on her face that day, and Sister Kong embroidering in the dim light, it was as if it was still yesterday.

And the slap yesterday also landed firmly on Murong Ni's face, and it is still red.

She lingered outside the door for a moment, then walked over to it and knocked lightly.

There was no movement in the room.

Murong Ni knocked on the door again, but there was still no answer, she was puzzled for a while, and then reached out and pushed the door open.

The old wooden door creaked open, and the scene in front of her was like a carving knife, which was stubbornly engraved on Murong Ni's heart.

There was the cold corpse of the old man lying on the ground, Kong Xiaogu sat aside in a daze, the warm yellow light in the room jumped, but people couldn't feel a trace of temperature.

A stream of cold wind came from behind Murong Ni, and she suddenly turned her head to look outside the house-

It's snowing.

The cold wind blew into the house, blowing up Kong Xiaogu's dry hair, which should have been black, but at this time it had already caught a few silver threads, and blew the candlestick, and the oil lamp was crooked, and the hot lamp oil dripped down the lampstand, and the room was dark.

"What else are you doing here. Kong Xiaogu didn't turn her head to look at her, she only opened and closed her peeled lips, and slowly said this sentence, her mood was extraordinarily calm, and she was a little dead and silent.

Murong Ni looked at the corpse of the old man on the ground, and the hand holding the spirit pill was pinched and loosened, loose and tight, she was stunned, her whole body seemed to be blown through by the cold wind outside the house.

"Ding-" The bottle of the elixir in his hand slipped down suddenly, and he made a crisp sound when he hit the ground.

Murong Ni raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and just took a step into the room, Kong Xiaogu's tired voice came again.

"Let's go. ”

Murong Ni froze in place.

"Don't come again. ”

"Sister Kong, I'm ......"

"Don't call me Sister Kong again. ”

"I ......" Murong Ni said indifferently, "I'm sorry......"

Kong Xiaogu didn't speak again, just looked at the old man lying on the ground as if he had slept peacefully, and tears flowed down his eyes that had been dry.

Murong Ni didn't know how long she had been standing outside the door of this room, but she remembered that when she went back, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the snow was still falling, getting heavier and heavier.

The door to the courtyard was wide open.

Murong Ni didn't think much about it, and walked back in a daze, there was no light in the house, and Sister Xu didn't come back tonight.

Later, for a long time, Murong Ni only saw Tong Wei, Tong Yue and Wan Xiaodie in the courtyard, Sister Xu never came back, and Sister Xue never came back.

Murong Ni didn't talk to anyone either, at first, Tong Wei and Tong Yue were nervous that she told the truth of the matter, and came to visit Murong Ni several times, trying to get some words out of her mouth, but it didn't work, and these days, Wan Xiaodie also took a break from work for several days, but they all locked themselves in the house and didn't contact people, Tong Wei and Tong Yue The two sisters wouldn't ask about her situation, and Murong Ni was also catching up with the previous change, and she couldn't get back to her senses for a few days.

On this day, because of her own malaise, Murong Ni got better after being scolded by Gu Ning'an at Qingye Peak, and returned to the compound, and suddenly saw that all the flowers planted in the courtyard had died because no one took care of them, so she knocked on Wan Xiaodie's door.

Murong Ni knocked, and before the people inside could answer, the door of the east room opened.

Tong Wei walked out of the house with a smile, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Murong Ni's hand, and said while pulling her into the east room: "Little Nier, Tong Yue and I thought that you would ignore us from now on, making us both sad and sad for a long time, now you are finally willing to speak, come and play with the two of us for a while!"

Murong Ni looked at Tong Wei's appearance, then stretched out and pointed to the withered flowers in the yard and asked, "These flowers are all taken care of by Sister Xue, why are they all dead now?"

Tong Wei's eyes moved, and then said: "Ah, these flowers, because Sister Xue went down the mountain to go home, no one takes care of these flowers." ”

"Sister Xue went home, didn't you just meet your family?" Murong Ni looked puzzled.

At this time, Tong Yue came up and replied, "This...... Sister Xue went home this time, and she will never return to our Kunlun faction again. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Murong Ni frowned.

"Oh, little Nier," Tong Wei saw Murong Ni like this, so she tugged at her sleeve and continued: "You see you frowning again, Sister Xue is going home to live a good life, we should be happy for her!"

"Yes, yes, you haven't bothered to care about the affairs in our courtyard for the past two days, and Sister Xue also saw that you were sad and sad, so she didn't tell you before leaving. Tong Yue also hurriedly echoed and said.

"What about Sister Xu," Murong Ni then asked, "I haven't seen Sister Xu for many days. ”

"Sister Xu," Tong Wei's eyes turned quickly, trying to think of her words: "Sister Xu, she ...... She also went down the mountain, saying that her family arranged a blind date for her, and she was picked up by her brother and sister-in-law not long ago!"

"Then why didn't I know about this, why didn't Sister Xu tell me?" Murong Ni looked at the two sisters in front of her, and the doubts in her heart were still not eliminated.

Tong Yue hurriedly answered: "Oh, little Nier, you are a busy person, Sister Xu is afraid that telling you this news will make you sad and not work hard, so she didn't tell you!"

"Yes, Xiao Nier, you go to Juyifeng every morning to make money, Sister Xu can't bear to disturb you when she sees that you are becoming more and more promising. Tong Wei also nodded and said.
