After hearing this, Ziling's face changed first, and she returned to normal.

"Childe, have you forgotten that the old man ordered that the abandoned mansion is not allowed to live in, the abandoned mansion has been abandoned for decades, I heard that the haunted in the early years was banned, who would dare to cross the thunder pool without the master's order?" Ziling didn't pay attention to Lu Jingyuan's intentions, but suddenly remembered the rumors that the ancient mansion was not good.

"Now that my father is gone, I am the head of the family, can't I be the master of the Lu Mansion?" Lu Jingyuan slowly stood up, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared directly at the unconscious middle-aged woman on the bed.

"But, Childe ......"

"Don't say anything about it, I'm up to it. ”

As soon as Ziling was about to speak, she was categorically pushed back by Lu Jingyuan, raising her hand to grab the corner of his clothes, but the person stepped out of the pavilion without looking back, leaving her alone at a loss.

"I ...... Is it the wrong thing? She muttered alone.

On the second day, more than 30 craftsmen began to start construction with a huge momentum of iron baskets, there is a huge hundred gardens behind the rockery, with the gradual disappearance of midwinter, the warm sunshine falls into the garden, the thick snow layer disappears, the stone road is slightly wet, there are still remnants of snow water at the junction of the plate gaps, only the fertile soil of the road two still leaves traces of ice and snow, some cold-resistant flowers have a radiant tendency, tomorrow the spring will definitely be a beautiful scenery again.

A high-pitched stone wall cut off the path into the deeper part of the forest, and seven or eight craftsmen held heavy hammers and axes to chisel and shatter the walls, and occasionally the firelight burst into the stones, and after a few hours, a semicircular opening was finally opened up, enough to accommodate four people walking side by side.

Three days later, everything was settled, Lu Jingyuan personally sent Mrs. Gan to the renovated pavilion in Biluo Garden, the courtyard was full of flowers, this place was like a paradise and the cold wind and freezing rain of the outside world had no connection, after staying for an hour, he suddenly sighed, there was such a scenery but no one accompanied him to watch, the empty courtyard stood in it and added a few traces of sadness, for a moment he lost his soul, and disappeared.

There is a figure sitting on the stone pavilion steps on the rockery in Fuzhong.

Soon after, another figure appeared.

The person sitting knew that someone was coming but did not look back, and the person who was standing suddenly stopped and looked at the back in front of him.

"Childe is alone again, I know you're here. After a long time, a woman's crisp voice broke the silence.

Lu Jingyuan didn't turn around, but he knew who was coming, the most popular one in the house was Ziling, in Lu Jingyuan's childhood memory, there was no Ziling, a dusty woman, if you calculated carefully, it was probably five years ago when he was fourteen years old that he knew the girl who behaved tremblingly.

In the impression of that day, the timid girl, she was like a porcelain figure, and she was shattered at the slightest touch.

"What's your name?" the young man in the costume stared intently at the timid girl.

"I ...... I...... It's called Ziling. The girl stammered and it took a few moments to get out a sparse word.

"Oh, Ziling, hello, my name is Lu Jingyuan. The young man opened his big eyes and stretched out his fleshy little hands to try to approach her, while the girl was trembling behind the tall middle-aged man and secretly watched the young man's every move.

"He has no malicious intentions, you go and shake his hand, and people should be embarrassed after a while. The middle-aged man smiled slightly, looked down and saw the girl with straight nerves, and pulled the girl in front of him with a gentle movement of his hand.

"I know that men and women don't kiss each other, I understand the reason, it's too abrupt. When the boy saw that the girl was not at peace, he smiled.

"Oh, I didn't expect to know etiquette so much at a young age, can Jing Yuan tell me who is teaching you to read?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and smiled, a few strands of silver-white hair were fluttering, he was wearing a snow-white robe, and the surface of his clothes was embroidered with a terrifying picture of a dragon covering the sea, the man's face was a little vicissitudes of life, and his sideburns were white, but he still couldn't suppress the majestic heroic spirit from the inside out, like a cliff and a waterfall, there were thousands of troops and thousands of horses and horses unstoppable, and the biggest gap between mortals and cultivators was nothing more than this.

"It's Mr. Sima Nanfeng. The boy replied calmly.

"Sima Nanfeng, oh, is that scholar from the 'Shenxing Pavilion', the most orthodox Confucian palace in our Yan Kingdom?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised, and there was a fine light in his eyes.

"Well, I don't know what happened to Mr. before, and he never mentioned it, Mr. opened a academy in Yangzhou to teach Confucian classics, and he is very friendly and has always been very good to students, but Mr. sometimes treats some adults outside the academy as well as the protégés in the school, and his face is dark, so scared that those people dare not say a word. ”

"Although we don't know what happened to Mr. before, Mr. Now Mr. is a very good gentleman, and Mr. is very knowledgeable, omniscient, and omniscient, as if there is no gentleman between heaven and earth who cannot solve puzzles. The young man did not forget to make an exaggerated gesture of opening his arms while spitting lotus flowers in his mouth, and he was innocent and laughed at the middle-aged man who was usually silent and indifferent.

"This is true, your husband is not only rich and knowledgeable, but also a true gentleman who dares to speak decent words, otherwise he would not bear the charge of great rebellion, he dismissed the official in a fit of anger and left the capital, and since then he has disappeared, and he does not want to find his trace in Yangzhou. ”

"Oh, so Sir is such a daring husband. The boy listened to something he had never known before, as if he had climbed to the top of the mountain to clear the clouds, and looked down at the mountains and ravines at the soles of his feet.

"Stop, stop, I said I leaked, you little kids still don't want to know these things, don't be obsessed, don't make mistakes and blame me when the time comes. The middle-aged man suddenly put away the chatterbox, and the young man was a little unfinished but embarrassed to speak, so he glanced at the girl, and sure enough, under the chatter between the two in the clouds, the hanging stone in the girl's heart inadvertently sank into the pool.

"Ziling, you will follow Brother Jingyuan in the future, he is one year older than you, he will definitely be able to protect you, do you say?" The middle-aged man bowed his head and spoke to the girl but glanced at the young man meaningfully, and the young man suddenly took a reassuring pill and swore to pat his chest.

"As long as I, Lu Jingyuan, am here for a day, no one will want to bully Ziling! Ziling is my own sister!"

"Well, Xiao Jingyuan must remember your promise, be an upright gentleman, and don't break your word. The middle-aged man smiled again, and looked at the young man a little deeper.

"Ziling, go ahead, I'll come to see you every thirty days in the future, okay? Also, don't forget the most precious thing of your Cao family, people can die, lives can be lost, but this is not to be abandoned, this is also the last thought your father left for you." In the second half of the sentence, the man lowered his body slightly, and put it next to the girl's ear, and then under the staring of the middle-aged man, the girl bit her lip and nodded slowly, hearing the most important response, the man in the robe relaxed and then slowly turned around, no longer lingering.

The girl with a porcelain-like complexion was a little silent, her expression was stunned, and before she knew it, there was a clear bloody tooth mark on her lower lip, and the young second son of the Lu family stretched out her hand to take the girl and walked back to the study.

Witnessing the two thin backs gradually disappearing, the middle-aged man who had been hiding in the corner of the alley was swollen, his messy hair covered half of his face, he burst into tears, the wind whistled and the clouds dispersed in an instant, and the light of the sky from the east swept the earth, and he seemed to be ten years old with a shining golden light.

"Big brother, I'm sorry for you......"

Lu Fu occupies a vast area, the natural topography is different, although there is no high mountains and flowing water, but there must be no shortage of hills and ditches, as the saying goes, "although the sparrow is small, the five organs are complete", this word is used here to taste appropriately.

There is a small hill near the underground stream canal of the mansion, a hexagonal Pixiu pavilion was built on the top of the hill, there is a cave under the platform pier and the path is ten steps down, it is a natural mountain stream and wild spring, the clear flowing water gushes out of the big stream pool that surrounds the mountain and flows to the foot of the mountain, the stream channel has sand and gravel deposits, colorful and colorful, when the sun shines directly, the pebbles of different sizes under the water surface are folded out of the strange rainbow mang, this mountain and this water record all the stories of Lu Jingyuan's youth.

"At this time, the great cold side is coming to an end, the climate is still extremely cold, you have always been thin-boned, don't be contaminated with wind cold and humidity. I don't know when Ziling stood at the foot of the stone pavilion steps, holding a heavy brocade in his arms, standing still, looking at Lu Jingyuan's slightly bent back, his heart tightened.

"Ziling, did you say I did the right thing?"

"I don't know if it's right or wrong, I just hope that Childe can feel better, and if it accumulates for too long, it will become a heart disease. ”

Lu Jingyuan stared at the beautiful scenery under the mountain in a daze, the people under the mountain are talking and laughing, the people on the mountain are lonely, the wind is mighty, the world is vast, the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, the heavens don't know how to laugh?

"I'm hungry, I've brought you some hot pastries, and I'll eat a few bites while it's still cold. Ziling quietly put on a brocade robe for him, lifted the mahogany incense box and lifted the lid, it was Lu Jingyuan's favorite plum blossom paste.

"You suddenly mentioned that I was really hungry, you are really a roundworm in my stomach, I can't hide anything from you, I feel like I'm like a slippery one in your eyes, how can I not hide anything from you? You can't be a goblin, right?" Lu Jingyuan pulled his shirt and suddenly regained his expression, turned his head and stared at her with an extremely suspicious gaze, but his right hand was touching the incense box.

The mouth is honest and honest.

"Cut, who will pay attention to you all the time, how can there be such a good person in the world, you must be daydreaming!"

"Also, who do you say are goblins! You're goblins! Your whole family is goblins!"

"As you say, I'm a goblin, and you're from my family, so are you. ”

"You, you, why are you so flamboyant!"

"Hahaha, I have Ziling like the world, and thousands of gold will not be exchanged!"

"Bah, I'm not yours, I'm not married yet, don't try to take advantage of me!"

"Hmmm......"

The master and servant went down the mountain leisurely after a fight, perhaps they had never been to the forbidden backyard before, and the two wandered around the neighborhood for a while, the deserted courtyard was so big, so big that it was unimaginable, and the westernmost part of the tour suddenly found an old temple, the temple was crisscrossed by the withered old wood branches, and only a clear corner of the eaves was faintly leaked.

"Ziling, I look at the backyard is pretty good, why haven't you let people in. ”

"Second son, I always feel that this place is gloomy, and there is a wind blowing behind me. Ziling looked at the strange old temple and couldn't help but feel worried in her heart.

"If you come, you will be safe, we are all here, so we will go in and find out, and besides, what are you afraid of with me? Could it be that I can still leave you and run away if there is danger?"

The old temple has suffered from years of wind and rain, and it has already been full of holes, several walls that seem to be thick and thin are also cracked and concave, the wall is covered with moss and stone moss, and there is no plaque on the door beam.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look, it looks like this is a Taoist ancestral hall. Carefully pushed the door and stepped into the hall, the dust around him was shocked, Lu Jingyuan raised his hand and waved to hold his breath, the left and right window lattices were unblocked, and the light shuttled in in a flash, this ancestral temple enshrined a golden statue, the statue held a sword in one hand and a pagoda in the other, wearing a dragon scale armor, the appearance was majestic and solemn, and the eyes were like torches, as if there was charm.

In the center is the main god, and there are two ghosts in the underworld on the left and right, who bend down and breathe with low eyebrows.

"It's really strange, what kind of ancestral temple is this, the main god is actually in charge of the two yin, it's the first time I've seen it when I'm so big, or in my own yard, it's also strange. ”

Lu Jingyuan looked at the golden statue and chattered, but Ziling suddenly screamed in horror.

"There are foxes!"

"Where!" he looked back, and sure enough, he caught a white shadow, so he strode out.

"Childe wait for me!" Ziling reluctantly ran out with him.

"This cunning big-eared thief, running really fast on four legs, I can't catch up. Lu Jingyuan pressed his palms on his knees, his face full of chagrin, just a few steps, really just a few steps.

"Childe, let's go back, don't get lost for a while!", I don't know how many steps I chased, there was no trace of the ancestral temple behind me, the fog was hazy, and the green smoke was shrouded at a glance, not like a fairyland, not like hell, just like the mass graves of barren mountains and mountains in the world.

"Ziling, look! There is a well here, and there is a monument on the well!"

A diameter of three feet long dry well is covered by a garden-shaped stone slab, there is a big stele on the slate, the lower part of the stele is worn out, there are seven or eight overlapping and staggered deep concave scratches on the surface of the stele, as if it has been tied by chains, a large mass of wild grass and vines covers it, Lu Jingyuan waved his knife and slashed a few times, cut it cleanly, and suddenly saw half of the inscription.

There are two big characters that are particularly eye-catching, "tired of winning"
