Chapter 29: Encountering the Dead
"Auntie, we've been living here for more than ten days, when can we keep going? ”
After Shen Changhao swallowed the last bite of rice, he looked at Yu Min and asked. At this time, the two were sitting in the room of a small inn, and in order to avoid contact with people as much as possible, Yu Min asked Xiao Er to deliver the food to the room.
After staying at the Yuelai Inn for five days, Yu Min fully recovered, originally they wanted to wait for Chen Qi to come back, thank you in person and then leave, who knew that Chen Qi never returned to the inn after leaving, Yu Min was worried that things would change over time, so he left a letter of thanks to Chen Qi, asked the store to hand it over, and then left with Shen Changhao.
At noon on the second day of leaving Yunzhou City, Yu Min took Shen Changhao to a small mountain village, this village is not big, only a dozen households, but it is distributed on both sides of the official road, and after this village, the official road enters a long and narrow valley.
The two were about to enter the village, Yu Min suddenly felt that something was wrong, this should be the time to make a fire to cook, but the village was silent, and there was no cooking smoke.
For the sake of safety, Yu Min asked Shen Changhao to hide in the woods on the side of the road, and quietly approached the village to check. This look scared her out of a cold sweat, there were dozens of people in the village, dressed in the same costume, it seemed that they were all martial arts practitioners, some of these people were carrying corpses, some were cleaning the blood stains on the ground, and from the clothes worn by those corpses, it was clear that they were villagers of this village.
Yu Min didn't dare to delay, immediately returned carefully, took Shen Changhao to leave here quickly, and returned to Yunzhou City.
Yu Min stroked Shen Changhao's head, and said with a loving face: "Big brother has helped us enough, we can't go to make trouble for others anymore, let's stay here for the time being, and when Auntie hears that the front is safe, we will continue to hurry." ”
"Hmm~" Shen Changhao nodded.
"We can't trust anyone until we get to my uncle's house, and we can't take any risks until then. ”
"Hmm~" Shen Changhao nodded again.
"Auntie has something to go out for, if you really feel bored, you can practice the mind in the room, but don't practice the sword, that will be too big, it will be easy to attract the attention of others. ”
"Hao'er knows!"
Yu Min nodded with a smile at Shen Changhao, then left the room and left the inn.
Yu Min left the inn and walked aimlessly on the street, she didn't have anything to do, she just wanted to come out and walk. When she first came to Yunzhou City, the few days she spent recuperating at Yuelai Inn were the easiest days she had in the past few months, she didn't have to worry about being frightened and rushed for days, and the mother-in-law who took care of her chatted with her, so that she forgot everything for a while.
If she could, she would like to live like that forever. But she knew that she couldn't, the family's blood and revenge had not been avenged, and Shen Changhao, he was the only bloodline of the Shen family, so he must be sent to Butterfly Mountain Villa safely, let him grow up, and revive the Shen family.
On the way to escape, especially in the two days in Yunzhou after the property was robbed, she didn't eat, and she was sick again, she really wanted to die, so that she could be relieved and go to her husband.
Thinking of her husband, Yu Min couldn't help but feel heartache, her eyes were moist, and she endured it. She can't forget the gentle affectionate pat that her husband gave her with a smile at the end, and she can't forget her husband's love for her on weekdays. She was originally an orphan, adopted by the Shen family, grew up in the Shen family, the Shen family had no women, so they treated her like their own, and when they grew up, they married her to Shen Qingxu, who was the same age as her and had been a childhood sweetheart since childhood.
"Brother Xu," the corners of Yu Min's mouth raised slightly, revealing a shallow smile, and said softly, "Wait for me, I'll go to you when I settle Hao'er." ”
At the beginning of the lanterns, Yunzhou City at this time is more prosperous, and people come and go on the streets. Yu Min walked for a while, worried about Shen Changhao's safety, so he walked back.
"Why is this person so familiar?"
A middle-aged man of medium stature passed by Yu Min, and inadvertently she glanced at the man, but this glance made her feel like she had seen this person somewhere.
"Could it be that you recognize the wrong person?" Yu Min was a little suspicious of himself, "Impossible, I must have seen this person, it should be in the Shen Mansion...... Who is he?"
Yu Min didn't leave the Shen Mansion often, and she didn't see many outsiders, she was trying to recall everyone she had seen in the Shen Mansion.
"It's Senior Brother Yu!" Yu Min was suddenly startled, although he hadn't seen him for eight years, after all, he had been together since he was a child, "Why is he here?" Do you want to tell him what happened to Shen Mansion, after all, he grew up in Shen Mansion since he was a child, although he was expelled from the sect in the end, he should not forget the kindness of his master, with his help, Hao'er will be safer." ”
When Yu Min thought of this, she was about to speak, but she suddenly stopped again, "No! It's been eight years, if he really still has an old affection for Shen Funian, he won't not contact the people of Shen Mansion for so many years, Brother Xu said that Shen Fu has been looking for him for many years, he can't not know, so why doesn't he go back? If people don't go back, they should pass on a message back, there must be something wrong here, so why is he doing here at this time? Do you want to follow and take a look?"
Yu Min looked at Yu Qingxin's distant back and was a little entangled, she wanted to know Yu Qingxin's current situation and see if there was any possibility of helping her, but she was also afraid that he would not let go of what happened back then, which would bring danger to herself and Shen Changhao.
"Forget it, he was expelled from the division back then, and it had nothing to do with the Shen Mansion, so don't think about letting him help now. ”
Thinking of this, Yu Min continued to walk forward, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, "No, in the past eight years, the Shen Mansion has sent so many people, and all the connections between the rivers and lakes have not been found, there must be a problem with him appearing here at this time, I have to figure it out!"
Yu Min immediately turned around and chased in the direction where Yu Qingxin was walking.
Yu Min didn't chase far before she saw Yu Qingxin's back, she didn't dare to get too close, and kept quietly following in the distance, until she saw him enter a restaurant.
"Yueyun Restaurant, what is he doing here?" Yu Min thought and entered the restaurant.
Yueyun Restaurant is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Yunzhou City, with a total of two floors, the first floor is a hall that can accommodate 20 tables, and the second floor is full of private rooms.
"Welcome!" As soon as Yu Min arrived at the door, four young and beautiful women dressed in gorgeous costumes standing on both sides of the door immediately bowed down to greet him.
Before the voices of the four people fell, they immediately greeted a young and beautiful woman, this woman's clothing and outfit were slightly different from the four standing at the door, her face was full of smiles, she saluted Yu Min, and said, "Welcome!
Yu Min looked around the entire hall, it was dinner time, the hall on the first floor was full, and she didn't see Yu Qingxin.
"There are four of us in total, and the others will arrive later, is there a private room here?" Yu Min said with a smile.
"You coincidentally, there happens to be a private room upstairs, which is reserved for you. The woman said to Yu Min's eyebrows.
"Can I go and see the private room first? I'm going to have a distinguished guest. ”
"Of course, you please! Madame is from other places, our Yueyun Restaurant is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Yunzhou City, you invite people to eat here, you must have face. The woman said as she led Yu Min to the staircase, "Be careful of the steps, someone will naturally take you over to the second floor." ”
Yu Min nodded, then raised his feet and walked up the stairs to the second floor. At this time, the woman shouted at the second floor, "Reception on the second floor, a distinguished guest!
As the woman's voice fell, a sweet voice came from the second floor, "Watch the steps, welcome!"
Yu Min reached the second floor, and a woman who was as beautiful and dressed as the woman just now was standing at the top of the stairs to greet her.
"Welcome! After speaking, the woman led Yu Min down the corridor to the west.
