Chapter 41: Uprooted
The family is still hiding in the cave where they had been sheltering from the locust plague, not far from the waterfall, and the previous battle almost affected the three of them. Fortunately, the vicious battle ended at the waterfall, otherwise it is really hard to say whether the three of them would have died because of this.
Because I don't know what the outcome of the battle was, there was no bonfire in the cave. Erxi wanted to rush out of the cave more than once, but when he thought of Gu Yuan's advice, coupled with the half-pull and half-pull of Defu and Sanqiao, he could only continue to suffer in the cave in a hurry.
Time passed minute by minute, seeing the starlight crawling all over the night sky, Erxi couldn't hold back any longer, turned his head to the two people snuggling behind him and said, "I went out to find my brother-in-law, you pay attention......"
"Where do you want to go?" A figure suddenly appeared outside the cave, with two horns on his head and long ears, it was Gu Yuan who had returned from Songjia Village.
"Brother-in-law. Erxi stepped forward in surprise, and the two people sitting on the ground also got up to greet him.
Gu Yuan said very calmly: "It's a disciple of Lieyang Palace who came, and it has been resolved." ”
"Will the Lieyang Palace come to find trouble?" asked Sanqiao, who rarely spoke.
"I'm worried about that, too. Gu Yuan also had concerns in his heart, if he fell easily, after all, he could go anywhere, how should the Defu family be settled?
"We had to move out. ”
This is the safest way, their whereabouts are unknown, and there are disciples of the Lieyang Palace who come to find them, but they can only rush into the air.
"We ...... Where are we going?" Defu wanted to stay, the older he gets, the more he doesn't want to be too far from home, his wife is still buried in the woods, and if he doesn't want her to endure loneliness, he has to move his grave......
Gu Yuan thought for a while and said, "You can go anywhere in Shangzhou." ”
Erxi was surprised: "Still in Shangzhou?"
Gu Yuan glanced at Erxi and said, "Otherwise, where do you want to go?"
Erxi was puzzled: "Staying in Shangzhou, isn't it easy for Lieyang Palace to find us?"
Gu Yuan asked in his words, "In addition to the dead disciples, have there any people from the Lieyang Palace seen my appearance?"
"This is for yourself, how do I know?" Erxi's tone was not friendly at all, which made Gu Yuan a little embarrassed, and he couldn't continue if he was ready.
Gu Yuan scratched his head and said, "Shall I ask you again?"
Erxi immediately understood, and said, "No, of course no one has seen your appearance." ”
Gu Yuan was even more embarrassed, and when he was ready, he didn't have a bit of momentum, "Since no one has seen me, how can they know that I killed the disciples in their sect?"
"What should they do if they ask the people in the village?" Erxi was a little worried.
"Are you stupid?" Gu Yuan said with white eyes: "How can the people in the village know where we have gone?"
"That's true. Erxi nodded matter-of-fact and said, "Then do as you say." ”
If an ordinary disciple died in the hands of Gu Yuan, the Lieyang Palace would not have worked to find people, and the disciples with high status would be different, they were a wealth to the Lieyang Palace, and it was the face of the Lieyang Palace.
There are spiritual treasures on his body, as well as valuable pills, and Li Rong's identity is not difficult to guess.
......
Fengchi Town is in the southeast of Shangzhou City, and the smell of wine wafting from the town can be smelled from a few miles away. Most of the wine drunk by the people of Shangzhou City comes from Fengchi, and the most famous is the lotus wine.
There is also a crystal clear waterhole in Fengchi Town, hidden among the plane trees, the legend is that the waterhole is formed by the gathering of morning dew, and there are often phoenixes living here in ancient times, but now it is rare.
Steward Zhou of Caifu introduced the customs of Fengchi Town to Gu Yuan and others, and at the same time introduced the four of them to the ancient mansion. The house has been uninhabited for many years, the courtyard is overgrown with wild grass, and the corners of the walls are covered with traces of moss peeling.
Since the wild boar forest came out, the four of them traveled all over the villages and towns of Shangzhou City, and finally were attracted by the aroma of wine in Fengchi Town, and under the instigation of Erxi, they chose to stay in the rich Fengchi.
When he came, Song Defu looked at the wild boar forest that had been razed to the ground, and he had no hope of finding his wife's bones. Later, after Gu Yuan separated the three of them, he used the technique of "Summoning Spirits" to summon Sanqiao Niang out of the ground.
From this, Song Defu probably knew why his wife's bones crawled out of the ground during the locust plague and moved like a big living person.
He was angry, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly, so he could only reluctantly use a thin coffin to collect his wife's bones, and after being put into the storage ring by Gu Yuan, he waited to find a new home for burial.
After staying in the inn for more than ten days, the four of them finally found a suitable house.
"This house is the old house of our Mrs. Caifu, a few years ago, Mrs. Cai's relatives passed away one after another, and the house was uninhabited, so it was abandoned. "Steward Zhou is not confused in his recent years, his body is quite tough, and he has served in Cai Mansion for more than 40 years.
The ancient house is backed by the green mountain, and when you push the door out from the backyard, there is a cobblestone-paved sheep intestine path leading to the top of the mountain, which is also one of the reasons why Gu Yuan and others want to buy the house, bury the bones in the mountain, and you can go to worship at any time.
The house has three small courtyards, sixteen rooms, and a rockery lake, and a cool water pavilion is built by the lake.
The four of them walked around with Steward Zhou, Gu Yuan suddenly stopped, pointed to a half-collapsed room and said, "This room ......"
Steward Zhou's eyes flickered for no reason, and he said casually: "If no one takes care of it, the house will be washed down by the rain." ”
"Oh?" Gu Yuan said with a smile: "I heard that there are more than 300 servants in the Cai Mansion, so why can't they divide a few people to clean the house for Madame?"
Steward Zhou sighed: "It's Madame's order." ”
"Huh?" Erxi, who was holding a sugar gourd in his hand, bit down a hawthorn ball and said vaguely: "This is her original home, can you forget it when you get married?"
Steward Zhou shook his head and said, "How dare you talk too much, what Madame says is what it is." ”
Then, Steward Zhou added, "Madame can't help but be hurt when she arrives here, and the master won't allow her to come after fainting a few times." In the past, people were often sent to clean it, but after a few years, the lady ordered that nothing in the house be touched, and no one came. ”
Song Defu was puzzled: "Why is this?"
"I don't know. Steward Zhou scratched his back and said, "What Madame is thinking is not something that our subordinates can ask." ”
After continuing to walk around the house for a while, walking through all the rooms, Steward Zhou said, "The situation in the house is roughly like this, what do you think?"
Defu's family was very satisfied, Song Defu rubbed his hands and said, "The house is excellent, that's the price......
Can you be more accommodating?"
Steward Zhou refused without hesitation, and said: "In a house like Fengchi, I only need forty, and my brother still thinks it's inappropriate?"
