borrowed the gray bird from Hai Feiyu, and Lu Taozhi embarked on the way home.

Tang Guo, Jiangning County.

Holding the big cat, Lu Taozhi walked on the familiar street, but his mood was a little complicated.

The streets haven't changed, and neither have the hawkers on both sides of the street.

Only a year has passed, and the changes in Jiangning County are too small.

But she turned the world upside down.

When she left here, she fled in the wilderness, like a lost dog.

Now that she is back, although she has not returned to her hometown, she is no longer the little girl who was bullied and powerless to resist before.

"Sugar gourd! Sell sugar gourd!"

A hawker walks by, hawking as he goes.

The big cat stared straight at the red sugar gourd, sucked his saliva, and then looked at Lu Taozhi with a smile.

The two made eye contact.

"Sister, this sugar gourd is not sold in Tangcheng and Cuizhu Town, it looks quite special, it is better to buy some and go back and give it to Bai Rou'er to eat." ”

"I think you want to eat it yourself, right?"

"Nonsense, how old am I to eat children's stuff?"

Lu Taozhi smiled lightly, but still stopped the vendor selling sugar gourds.

"Uncle, I bought all your sugar gourds. ”

Holding a large handful of sugar gourds, in front of the public, it was inconvenient for Lu Taozhi to put them in the storage bag, so he walked directly to the back of the county office, the Zhou Mansion.

Father, Zhou Zhengyuan is the county magistrate of Jiangning County.

Zhou's house was her former home.

Just once.

......

At this moment, the Zhou Mansion is full of lights, and the people are also busy.

"The red lantern is hanging too low over there, a little higher, no, no, it's still too low. ”

"Today is the second lady's big day, and I have been cheered up by twelve points, who dares to make a mistake, see that Mrs. doesn't pick your skin. ”

The front was full of joy, but in a firewood room behind, there were screams.

A rough woman was beating a maid with a broom

"Madam, Second Miss, please, save the slave and maid, the slave and maid really didn't mean it. ”

"Aunt Ma, don't fight anymore. ”

The maid cried and begged to dodge, but Aunt Ma whipped more fiercely.

"Today is the second miss's big day, you broke the second miss's acacia cup, and you still have the face to plead?

Aunt Ma continued to smoke while scolding, and the maid was so painful that she couldn't help but hide, and fell to the ground, crying helplessly and desperately.

Syllable!

Another broom was drawn, and the maid's throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

But even so, Aunt Ma had no intention of stopping.

The maid watched the broom draw again, and the despair in her eyes intensified, and she felt that she was going to die today.

Looking at her extremely sad appearance, Aunt Ma did not have any pity, and there was a sneer in her eyes.

As a slave and maid, she doesn't know her duty, she can't even tell who is her master, and she deserves to be killed.

If she pities this little girl today, then the person who falls into this situation next time will become her.

With a cold glint in her eyes, Aunt Ma pumped harder.

Beat this little girl to death early, so that you can go forward to ask for a reward.

Today, the second lady came out of the cabinet, and the lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and acted generously.

At this moment, the broom in Aunt Ma's hand was only half an inch away from the little maid's face.

If this broom goes down, the little maid will not die, and she will definitely be taken to half her life.

Bang!

At that moment, the door of the firewood room was kicked open.

A stone flew in first and hit Aunt Ma's wrist.

"Ahh

After relieving this pain, Aunt Ma's eyes showed a hint of annoyance, "Who?

In the firewood room, except for her, there was only the maid who was still lying on the ground, and there was no one else at all.

But the pain in Aunt Ma's hand is definitely not an illusion.

Aunt Ma had the courage to run outside the door to look, and there was no half of a figure outside.

Aunt Ma couldn't help but shudder, and her heart was furious.

Could it be, there are ghosts, right?

Looking at Aunt Ma's frightened and strange expression, the little maid showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Miss, are you back?"

As she spoke, the little maid cried again, "Miss, are you back to save the slave?"

Aunt Ma was even more furious when she cried.

"Ghosts!

Aunt Ma screamed in surprise and ran for her life, the frightened look, the speed, it really looked like there was a ghost chasing behind her.

Looking at her running back, Lu Taozhi shook his head and smiled, took off the invisibility charm on his body, turned his head, and looked at the little girl.

"Xiaolan, are you okay?"

The maid Xiaolan saw Lu Taozhi's figure the moment she saw Lu Taozhi's figure, her eyes widened, her pupils shrank, and she muttered to herself.

"I shouldn't really be dying, right, actually seeing the eldest lady?"

Lu Taozhi took her hand, passed in a trace of aura, healed her injuries, and asked in surprise, "Who told you that I was dead?"

The pain in Xiaolan's body suddenly disappeared, and the lost strength also returned, and she was even more convinced that she was dead, and when she came to the underworld, she suddenly heard Lu Taozhi's words, and then she realized it later-

"No, why is the eldest lady's hands hot?"

As she spoke, she pinched herself again.

The pain came, and the doubts in her eyes became even thicker, "I'm actually fine, so you are still alive, Miss?"

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Taozhi's answer, Xiaolan was pleasantly surprised.

But she quickly showed her worries, "Miss, the second lady sent people everywhere to find you, and finally found a corpse in the mass grave, saying that it was yours, if she knew that you were still alive, she would definitely not give up, while no one found out yet, you should leave quickly." ”

Xiaolan ran to the door of the firewood room as she spoke, wanting to see if there was anyone outside, and when she walked to the door, she was directly frightened.

The shout of Aunt Ma before actually attracted even the lady, and many people are walking this way at this moment.

Madame scolded as she walked, "On this happy day, you dare to say that it is haunted, if there is nothing for a while, see if I don't pick your skin." ”

Aunt Ma's face was still white at the moment, as if she had lost her soul, "Madam, how dare the old slave lie to you, there is really a ghost, and it is definitely the ghost of the eldest lady who has returned." ”

Hearing this, Madame was even more disdainful.

The girl didn't find it at all, and the corpse was also pretended to be someone she randomly found with a similar figure, with the girl's life, this will not know where to fool around, the ghost who brought it?

Walking to the door of the firewood room, Mrs. saw Xiaolan's panicked appearance, her eyes narrowed, and she asked directly, "Is that girl back?"

Xiaolan was even more panicked, and a little desperate, she turned her head and wanted to ask Lu Taozhi what to do, but there was no one to see.

Could it be that you climbed out of the window?

Xiaolan quickly shook her head and denied it, "What is Madam talking about?"

"You dare to pretend to be garlic with me!" the lady scolded angrily and raised her hand to fan.

But before he could fan Xiaolan, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist.

She looked up in annoyance, but she was so frightened that she sat down.

In front of him, a flaming phantom loomed.
