Ye Jinyi didn't wait for the boatman to answer, only lowered his head and chuckled: "This is not a simple question, wait for the old man to figure it out before answering." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

With that, she raised her hand and carried Tang Ci to the hull of the boat, jumping on the riverbank of about a zhang.

After Tang Ci barely stood firm on the muddy shore, Ye Jinyi looked at the boatman and said loudly: "Old man, thank you, there will be a period later." ”

"Let's go. Before Tang Ci could react, he was quickly rushed to the other side of the path by Ye Jinyi's arm.

"Brother Ye, is there really anyone living here?" Tang Ci looked at the dilapidated abandoned mansion in front of him, couldn't help but clench Ye Jinyi's arm, and took a step back cautiously.

The huge mansion is no longer as prosperous as it once was, the rubble of the roof has long been broken, the cracks of the broken bluestone tiles are covered with dead grass, half of the beautifully carved eaves have collapsed, and the pillars on both sides of the gate have long lost their bright red color, covered with dust and mud, and it looks very much like an abandoned mansion.

But in this piece of ruin, only the gilded gate and the vermilion plaque engraved with "Lu Mansion" still look brand new, showing a magnificent atmosphere, which is very different from everything around it.

Ye Jinyi looked down at the wet mud on his boots, then at the spotless steps that were cleaned, turned his head to look at Tang Ci and said with a smile: "It would be rude for us to enter from here." ”

After that, Ye Jinyi carried Tang Ci directly through the collapsed lampstand at the door, turned over and swept over the tall green wall, and landed on the bluestone road inside the courtyard wall.

There are dozens of tall pavilions in the courtyard, but they are dilapidated pavilions, almost the same as the situation of the palace gate, all the eaves and walls are broken, but the gates and the plaques of each pavilion are clean, as if someone is wiping them every day.

There are a lot of flowers and trees planted in the yard, and although the yard looks shabby, these flowers and plants are well served, and the flowers are very bright and the leaves are verdant.

The breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers wafts by.

It's winter, but the flowers and plants in this yard are like a warm spring.

But it is precisely because of such a big contrast that it makes this place seem more and more strange and inexplicable.

Tang Ci hid behind Ye Jinyi and carefully observed the surroundings, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ye, will there be ghosts here? ”

Ye Jinyi raised his hand to brush the dew on the petals, and chuckled: "This flower is good." ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

Ye Jinyi was looking down to sniff the pale white flowers, but heard a warm male voice not far away, she looked up, and saw a white-clothed figure at the edge of the flowers, and when she got up straight to look at the past, she found that there was a young man with a polite and gentle temperament, but this man's face was very pale, he looked sick, and he had no spirit, and he seemed to be going to fall down in the next second.

Everything in the courtyard was dirty except for flowers and plants, but the white shirt and white shoes on this man's body were clean and spotless, as if this man did not belong here at all.

But Ye Jinyi is determined, this person is Lu Nian, the son of the Lu family.

Ye Jinyi walked up to Lu Nian, smiled and arched his hand: "Master Lu, it is rude to trespass into your mansion without permission. ”

Lu Nian chuckled, looked around and fixed his gaze on Ye Jinyi, and said, "It's my honor that someone else thinks about me, an unknown person." I haven't thanked Childe yet, why did Childe apologize instead? ”

Ye Jinyi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Under the night brocade." ”

"Night Boy, be polite. After that, Lu Nian coughed lightly, turned his gaze to Tang Ci, and hesitated, "Who is this little boy?"

Ye Jinyi turned to look at Tang Ci, who was silent, and glanced at Lu Nian again, and said, "This is my friend." ”

When Tang Ci heard this, he also stepped forward, bowed his head and arched his hand: "Xiaosheng's surname is Tang, and his single name is a word." ”

If it weren't for Ye Jinyi's inadvertent turning of her head, maybe he hadn't noticed the strange emotions that flashed in Tang Ci's eyes when he pronounced his name, maybe she hadn't noticed that Tang Ci had a slightly unnatural look on his face when he looked at Lu Nian.

Ye Jinyi knew very well that Tang Ci's appearance was an accident, and the reason why she kept Tang Ci by her side was only to have doubts about Tang Ci's identity, but she hadn't seriously thought about what Tang Ci's identity was.

But now, she found that Tang Ci seemed to have only one thing to focus on from beginning to end: the Weeping Blood Sword.

"Little brother, maybe I underestimated you. Ye Jinyi glanced at the book in Tang Ci's hand, and said secretly in her heart.

Lu Nian looked up at the sky and said with a soft smile: "It's a little late, the two of you haven't eaten yet, please." ”

With that, Lu Nian turned around and walked slowly along the stone road.

"Brother Night, don't you think it's all too natural? He didn't seem surprised at all by our arrival. Tang Ci clenched Ye Jinyi's arm and followed behind Tang Ci, lowered his voice and said cautiously.

"It's fine. Ye Jinyi hooked her lips and said softly, and after that, her gaze slowly followed Lu Nian's extremely slow steps.

Lu Nian's body is not ordinarily weak, his feet seem to be a little weak, walking is not only very slow but also a little unstable, in addition, his middle qi is also very insufficient, he has to hold his chest to catch his breath after taking a few steps, he looks weak, and he seems to be more powerless than Tang Ci.

Ye Jinyi only felt that Lu Nian's appearance at this time was very similar to her own appearance when she was seriously ill, but her appearance at that time was even more decadent, because she couldn't bear her weakness and incompetence, but Lu Nian was much calmer, and there was no trace of loss and decadence at all.

"Lu Gongzi's body doesn't seem to be very good. Ye Jinyi froze, looked at Lu Nian's back, and said softly.

When Lu Nian heard this, he turned to look at Ye Jinyi, and he also took the opportunity to block his sleeves in front of his nose, and said apologetically: "The root of Xiaosheng's disease was brought out of the mother's womb, and it has not been cured for many years. ”

Ye Jinyi arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm presumptuous." ”

Lu Nian pursed his lips and smiled: "It's okay, son, please." ”

"Doesn't Gongzi Lu ask?" Ye Jinyi said with a smile.

Lu Nian smiled: "What do you ask?"

Ye Jinyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Ask me why the two of you are here." ”

Lu Nian smiled, raised his feet and walked slowly along the road, and said, "No one has come to this Lu Mansion for a few years and months, and recently, somehow, there are a lot of people who come to my place. Moreover, everyone who came was here for the same thing. ”

Ye Jinyi frowned slightly and said, "What?"

Lu Nian glanced at Ye Jinyi and said with a smile: "Why do you ask knowingly, aren't you here for such a thing?"

Ye Jinyi also chuckled, raised his eyes and stared at Lu Nian, "Is the Crying Blood Sword really here?"

Lu Nian raised his sleeves slightly, wiped them lightly on the tip of his nose, chuckled heartily, and then looked at Ye Jinyi, restrained the gentle smile on his face, and said seriously: "Yes." ”
