Volume II, Chapter 54
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and even Lu Xingyun shivered. The flame was beating even harder. Long Qing'er rubbed her eyes and stood up. Perhaps, because she knelt for too long, Long Qing'er's feet were weak and she almost fell. If it weren't for Lu Xingyun stepping forward to help her, it would really be hard to say.
"Ahem. Lu Xingyun coughed dryly and said. "Miss Long is fine. It's not too early, so let's go back to our room and rest. ”
At this time, Long Qing'er was leaning on Lu Xingyun's arms. Perhaps because she was too lonely, Long Qing'er didn't immediately break away from Lu Xingyun. This surprised Lu Xingyun. It's just that the situation is special now, and Lu Xingyun doesn't think much about it.
Actually, a woman is a very strange animal. Either they will love you unconditionally for a lifetime, or they will hate you for a lifetime without regrets.
"Hmm. It's okay, thank you Lu Daxia. Long Qing'er's ears were a little red.
"Then Miss Long, let's rest early. I'll come back tomorrow. Lu Xingyun let go of Long Qing'er and was about to walk out the door.
"Lu Daxia, I think my father's death should be related to that letter. Hearing Long Qing'er's words, Lu Xingyun retracted the foot that had already stepped out of the door.
"Letter, what letter, Miss Long has seen that letter?" Lu Xingyun turned his head to look at Long Qing'er.
Long Qing'er nodded, but still bit her already pale lip and said, "I met a few days ago, and my father took a letter, but I don't know the content of the letter. ”
Lu Xingyun had hoped to get some useful clues. But. Lu Xingyun was not too disappointed, and it was normal for Long Qing'er not to know the content of the letter. At least, Lu Xingyun now knew that maybe Long Tianxiao's death was really related to that letter.
"Miss Long. Can you know, where did he put the letter?" Lu Xingyun had already turned over Long Tianxiao's body when he checked Long Tianxiao's body during the day today, but he didn't find the so-called letter.
"Lu Daxia still call me Qing'er. Dad is dead, and I'm not Miss Long anymore. Long Qing'er didn't answer Lu Xingyun's words, but said this.
Lu Xingyun also smiled awkwardly, "That's okay." In that case, then I will be Qing'er's eldest brother from now on. No one is going to bully you. ”
Hearing Lu Xingyun say this, Long Qing'er's tears fell so silently.
"Alright. Qing'er. Don't cry. Isn't there still a big brother?" Lu Xingyun stepped forward and helped Long Qing'er wipe away the tears left on his face and said.
"Hmm. Brother Lu, I remember that day my father went into his study after getting the letter. I also went to the study today to look for it, but I didn't find anything. Long Qing'er wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Now, take me to see it. Maybe the eldest brother can find something?" Lu Xingyun looked at Long Qing'er comfortingly.
Soon, Lu Xingyun and Long Qing'er came to Long Tianxiao's study.
After searching in the room for a long time, Lu Xingyun didn't find anything like a hidden grid.
"Brother Lu, what do you see here?" Lu Xingyun, who was still looking for a dark grid on the side, was also startled by Long Qing'er's sudden shout.
"What's wrong?Qing'er?" Lu Xingyun looked at Lu Xingyun with some puzzlement.
Long Qing'er didn't answer, but pointed to the candlelight lamp printed with the colors of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum on all sides of his hand.
Lu Xingyun also seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and hurriedly ran over to take the lampshade away.
And so it was. Lu Xingyun sighed. I saw some black debris left around the lampholder, which was obviously a sign of burned paper.
Lu Xingyun was a little disappointed, but just as Lu Xingyun was about to put on the lampshade, a gust of wind suddenly blew away the remnants of the confetti. At this moment, Lu Xingyun's eyes widened. Because, he found that there was still a piece of unburned paper underneath the blackened confetti.
Lu Xingyun hurriedly picked up the piece of shredded paper that was not half the size of a little thumb, and saw that the word "wood" could be faintly seen on it. Although it is a "wood" word, for the current situation of Lu Xingyun, it is better than burning nothing left.
Seeing this, Long Qing'er's delicate brows furrowed, a little disappointed. But Lu Xingyun held the piece of paper like a happy child. Long Qing'er looked at Lu Xingyun puzzled.
"Alright, Qing'er. Look at your frown. Lu Xingyun took the piece of paper with the word "wood" and shook it in front of Long Qing'er's eyes.
Long Qing'er said a little angrily, "Brother Lu." That's all that's left, why are you still ......?"
"Haha. Qing'er. What is this. I think it's better than having nothing left. At least now I have a little clue. Lu Xingyun shook the piece of paper in his hand again.
Seeing Long Qing'er's puzzled look, Lu Xingyun continued, "At least this word 'wood' can tell us a lot of things. For example, it's like a part of a place name, or the name of an animal or plant, or something else related to wood, or a person's name, or something like that. ”
Hearing Lu Xingyun say this, Long Qing'er finally stretched out her frowning brows, and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Lu, you are so smart, you can think of so much." ”
"Huh. Qing'er is also very smart. Lu Xingyun put the piece of paper away and said.
It's just that when Lu Xingyun said the name on the piece of paper again, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, "It's not so coincidental, right?" Lu Xingyun quickly flashed a person in his mind. Of course, these Lu Xingyun just flashed in her mind, Long Qing'er naturally didn't see it, and Lu Xingyun didn't plan to tell her about this somewhat coincidental thing.
"Brother Lu. That's where you get in trouble. Regarding my father's death, only you can help me. Long Qing'er looked at her toes with some gloom.
"Hmm. Rest assured. Qing'er. It's just that now, it's not too early. Tomorrow, I'll come back to see you. Lu Xingyun comforted him for a while, and Long Qing'er left.
Originally, Long Qing'er wanted Lu Xingyun to live here, but under Lu Xingyun's repeated insistence, Long Qing'er didn't keep it.
It's not that Lu Xingyun doesn't want to live here, but if he stays here, he will inevitably be inconvenient for his future actions. Therefore, Lu Xingyun, only after promising Long Qing'er that he would come to see her often, did Long Qing'er let him leave.
Since Dongfang Hai left that day, no one knows where he went. Including Lu Xingyun too. It's just that no one noticed that when Dongfang Hai turned around and went downstairs, something was wrong with Dongfang Hai.
Yan Wuying, Yu Broken Soul, Shui Ruoxuan, and Xiao Du Kang also disappeared into the night after Lu Xingyun left.
On the night of June 16, the full moon was in the sky, but the moon did not seem to be as round and bright as imagined.
At this time, in a small forest three hundred miles away from Huayang City, a thatched hut could be faintly seen. Although it was June 16, the sky that was still clear at the moment was overwhelmed by a sudden black cloud.
In the hut, there was no light. However, it is certain that there are people.
"It's been a year. Unexpectedly, it was really successful. You say, should I thank you, or should I ......" The voice sounded a little erratic.
When the voice finished speaking, it burst out laughing. In this woods shrouded in black clouds, hearing such a sound would undoubtedly send chills through the heart.
Looking at it like this, the voice seemed to be talking to someone, but, for a long time, there was no second voice.
Suddenly, the voice rang out again, "I'm sorry. I forgot about you...... Old friend, we haven't talked like this in a long time, have we?"
There is still no one to answer, and if someone is here, it will be almost the same if they are not scared to death. It was so dark, and the leaves rustled in the wind. Will you stay here and talk alone?
The sound was always so far around the woods, sometimes far away, sometimes close.
"Hmm. When you get that done, I'll reunite you with her. When the time comes, you'll really thank me!" the voice said with some excitement.
"Alright. I called you from afar, just to prove it, and of course, is this the result? Not bad. If they do something new, just let me know. Of course, I will also be around you at any time. Go back. The voice wandered erratically through the four types of huts.
