When Xiao Nianxi finished early, the servant came again after about another cup of tea.

"Xiao Gongzi, the dock master sincerely wants to see you, please come with Xiao, can you see it?"

Xiao Nianxi suddenly remembered that last night, when the master of Xinghuawu left, his face flashed and wanted to say goodbye, it turned out that it was indeed true.

Nian was so hospitable and carefully placed, Xiao Nianxi promised, and let the servant lead the way.

"Xiao Gongzi, please. ”

...

Walking with the servants, Xiao Nianxi carefully saw the structure of the Xinghua Compound, which belongs to a complex and diverse courtyard-style design, and the whole is an independent compound, in which the small buildings are built one after another. The small flowers in the courtyard are full of grass, the apricot trees are slim and elegant, the stone road in the courtyard is neatly planned, looking for a lot of forks to look at, and there are mountain shirt fake stones, red carp rain ponds, beautiful.

One of the forks in the road is the path where the eldest girl and the sixth girl run.

Xiao Nianxi frowned silently and listened to the servant's detailed description of the courtyard scene.

They walked through Tingyuxuan and Xingfang Corridor, stepped on the Tingting Stage and Muting Pavilion, and came to the main room of the dock owner at the end of the courtyard group.

It is also strange to say that the general main house should be built in the courtyard with the side seat of the connecting ear room, but this apricot blossom compound does the opposite, and the two main houses are actually built in the front and back of the compound opposite. The main room where Xiao Nianxi and the others are located is close to the main entrance, and the main room where the main house of Xinghuawu is located is located at the end of the courtyard. Unusual.

This main house is intended to take the pavilion and water pavilion, the grass and trees on the wall are lush, and the apricot blossoms float on a green pond to surround it, and the spirit is alive.

Xiao Nianxi asked the servant what kind of construction method this was, and the servant was happy to tell him that there was an elderly ancestor in the compound.

The ancestor did not like the dust, and the owner of the dock respected it well, so he specially rebuilt the main house to conform to the artistic conception.

I see.

The two gatekeepers, one tall and one short, saw that the servant leader Xiao Nianxi had arrived, and both of them ran over, and the short man said respectfully to Xiao Nianxi:

"Mr. Xiao, the lord and the lord have been waiting for you for a long time, and they also said that they have given you a generous gift, you will definitely like it. ”

Enthusiasm is not yet cold and affectionate, what is the so-called thing of the master of Xinghuawu, and how will he know what I like?

Xiao Nianxi became interested in the porter's rhetoric, so he asked, "What kind of gift?"

The tall porter smiled, "Xiao Gongzi has to be carefully selected, but one is more beautiful than the other." ”

"Tsk, you need to take care of the gift to give, isn't it good to give it to me together. ”

"This... This is too much, Xiao Gongzi is afraid that he will not be able to bear it, but if Xiao Gongzi wants it all, the master may also agree. ”

Xiao Nianxi shook his head, what can't he hold his spiritual ring, how can he say that he can't bear it?

I saw him pouting and saying, "The more the merrier." ”

When the two porters heard this, their expressions were strange, and they immediately nodded and patted their backs and said: "Xiao Gongzi is really an immortal and arrogant, and King Kong is not bad!"

The servant retreated, and the porter followed Xiao Nianxi and stepped into the main room together.

Xiao Nianxi stepped in, first of all, he didn't notice the Xinghua Wuwu Master and the Xinghua Ancestor in a ring robe on the Taishi chair in the middle, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the ancient style table and ink painting in the interior, but was stopped by the twenty or so pure maids who were in their prime.

The two porters stepped up to the side of the old man and the old man who stood up, and began to whisper.

When the two of them heard this, they were surprised, and then laughed generously, they were young and strong, and their energy was extraordinary.

In the face of more than 20 lines of sight of eyebrows and secret autumn waves, Xiao Nianxi Mu Ne, like a winter melon wood, was unmoved. Exactly, it should be unclear.

Although he was regarded as a distinguished guest for no reason, Xiao Nianxi still felt that he should pay attention to some etiquette and have a correct attitude towards others, he took the lead and said: "At the banquet last night, I watched if the master of the apricot blossom dock had something to ask for, and now I am here, the owner of the dock said that it is okay, and I will definitely help if I can do what I can." ”

The canal housekeeper on the side was secretly proud, and sighed excitedly that he had made a mistake and really helped the master.

The master of Xinghuawu originally prepared a bitter speech, but he never thought that Xiao Nianxi was so refreshing, he looked at the ancestor and smiled, and the big stone in his heart instantly croaked.

Don't say that these more than 20 maids, as long as Xiao Gongzi helps him, even if he asks someone to buy fifty maids from those poor countryside to give him, what does it matter?

Thinking so, the master of Xinghuawu suddenly smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet Xiao Nianxi,

He asked him, "Is Xiao Gongzi satisfied?" he meant the little girls around him.

Xiao Nianxi replied: "Satisfied, the master of the dock has bothered." He thought that he was referring to whether it was satisfactory to eat and live in peace.

Xiao Nianxi was worried that the master of Xinghua Dock would be embarrassed, so he said, "I don't know what the owner of the dock is talking about?"

The master of Xinghuawu looked excited, and led Xiao Nianxi to the lotus pond, "This matter is a long story. Xiao Gongzi, please listen to me slowly. ”

Rewind to a late night two months ago.

That night,

No wind

No rain

Frost-free

No snow

No month

No light

But it is freezing to the bone and gloomy.

Suddenly, a series of life-like footsteps were particularly piercing in the darkness, breaking the silence of the apricot blossom compound.

Tu Ge and the concierge guards on night were patrolling the corridor in a daze, quietly talking about women's wine, eating, drinking and merrymaking.

Suddenly, they saw a few servants with lantern rods running around in the black light, and this bewildering scene made them suddenly alert, so they stopped and stayed where they were, watching the servants run desperately to the past, but strangely, their steps were flustered, and there was no purpose at all.

One of the guards watched for a while, and was going to go down to the porch to ask what was going on.

Tu Ge'er used to be a hunter, so he has always been cautious about movements in the night.

He relied on his eyes to adapt to the darkness and Mingrui's extraordinary ear to hear it, and suddenly his head burst into sweat, only to see him quickly grab the guard brother who had moved, and then ordered a group of people to squat down immediately, and hide behind the beam with him.

Seeing that he was so nervous, the tall and low porter was scared for no reason, and suddenly felt his heart pounding to his throat, and hurriedly squatted down and leaned against Tu Ge'er.

The short porter kept his voice to a minimum, and asked Tu Ge'er with a distorted face what he had found, and Tu Ge twisted his nose and said in the same volume: They are not breathing.

Hearing this, a dry person's heart groaned, and goosebumps were aroused instantly.

They crouched in fear, peering out through the cracks in the porch, staring intently at the running servants.

In their eyes, the servants ran back and forth as if they were crazy, they stomped on the bushes, and then stepped on the stone road, and suddenly saw a servant hit the tree three times, and then turned back and ran, and tripped over the rock, and then got up and turned to sprint, and then slammed his head against the tree and made a dull noise, and he went back and forth, even if his head was blooming and white, he never stepped down, and he saw that the straight sect Tu Ge'er and others were terrified.

They also saw a servant slipping under his feet as he stepped over the straw shop, and fell straight to the sharp fence that had been broken by the blow, and was violently and bloodily pierced, and the tall porter was the most timid, and suddenly felt dizzy, and if it had not been for the short porter's support, he would have fainted, and the others would have been no better, and they were all gasping and tingling.

And what is even more terrifying, the scene that makes everyone's stomach and spleen cramp, is that the servant who was broken through the body began to struggle wildly, and in a long time, he actually broke his body into two pieces, he pumped out a strong smell of blood in the sound of blood and clicking, the lower body fell to the ground and continued to twitch, and the upper body dragged all the way to the bloody belly and intestines and crawled and squirmed on the ground, Tuge saw with his eyes that this direction was coming towards them.
