Shen Linfeng followed their brother and sister all the way. When he walked to the door of the ancestral hall, he was stopped by Elder Kong.

"I'm sorry young man, this is the place where our fox clan worships, and no one who is not from my clan is allowed to enter. ”

Shen Linfeng nodded understandingly, and was about to turn around and wait outside the door when he heard Xiaoyu shout.

"Cumber, wait......"

"What's wrong?"

"He's not an outsider! He's from Xiaoyu...... Even if he isn't a fox clan, he should be someone close to our fox clan, right?"

This Elder Kong is not a stubborn person, and after listening to Xiaoyu, he also feels that there is some truth. When he was about to be on the side, he said with a smile: "Young man, then please!"

"Thank you!"

Inside the house, the candlelight was still dancing.

Kong Hai looked at the four red characters in the drawer in a daze.

"This was written by my father?"

Elder Kong replied truthfully, "If you look at the handwriting, it doesn't look like it was written by your father. However, I found this ......"

After speaking, he took out the jade pendant with a red rope from his waist.

"You two shouldn't be unfamiliar with this thing, right?"

Xiao Yu looked startled and took it with both hands.

"Dad once told me that this jade pendant is my mother's relic. I didn't expect him to wear it all the time. ”

Elder Kong sighed, "You may not know, but I know very well. This jade pendant is worn by your father almost all the time. Think about it, why did it suddenly appear in the drawer of the ancestral hall?"

"Does it mean that my father came before he died?"

"That's right, look at those four words again. The color is dark red, apparently written in blood. ”

Kong Hai's face was solemn, he turned around and asked, "Xiaoyu, did you see your father before he died?"

"Yes, you had a big fight with him that day over the Ba Ye affair. You are nowhere to be found, and my father has often asked me about your whereabouts. One day, I overheard him say something that he was going to invite him to dinner. Also, when he came to me, he was pale and coughing. I asked him if he was in trouble, and he waved his hand and said it was okay. Also said...... Concubine Feng had already fed him the medicine. ”

"Concubine Feng?" Kong Hai said with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's the maidservant who has been serving by my father's side, and she's Baye's niece!"

"You mean he married his father?"

"Yes, and it was Ba Ye who went to tell his father in person. ”

"When did this happen?" Kong Hai showed a look of urgency, and a hint of ominous premonition slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Yu thought about it carefully, and said after a while: "It should be the second month after you left!"

"You just said that your father kept coughing when he came to look for you?

Xiaoyu replied: "After my father married Baye's niece, I found that his health was getting worse day by day. My father said he was suffering from the cold, but I didn't care. ”

The brother and sister continued to ask and answer, and Elder Kong next to him seemed to hear something.

"Xiaohai, your suspicion is ......"

Kong Hai interrupted him with a wave of his hand, without affirmation or denial.

"Elder Kong, where does that handmaid live now?"

Elder Kong sighed and said, "After Ba Ye became the peak master, this servant girl was expelled from the Tianhan Palace. However, I seem to have heard someone mention that she now lives in a snowcock farm on the edge of the north cliff. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Kong Hai's mouth.

"Let's go, let's go meet this former Feng Concubine for a while!"

Snow Chicken Park, located in the north cliff outside Yufeng City. It is built on the edge of a steep cliff surrounded by snow.

After Shen Linfeng and Kong Hai's brother and sister left Yufeng City, they traveled all the way to the north. Instead of neatly covered with ice, there was a large expanse of snow.

Amid the snow, a winding path stretches forward. After a while, a large man with a black beard dragged a wooden plank forward. And on top of the planks are more than twenty wooden cages.

The big man was dressed exactly like the rest of the city's citizens, a plush shirt and shorts that just reached the knee. Xiaoyu once said that this kind of clothing is made from the fur of a dead snow fox. The surface is soft and shiny, and the fox fur is thin but very warm.

However, the big man opposite Shen Linfeng was an exception, not only was the clothes on his body not soft and smooth, not even a single fluff was visible, only a thin layer of fox skin was left on his body. The same is true of the pants on the legs, which are tattered and patched.

When Shen Linfeng passed by this big man, he couldn't help but look at it twice. I saw that in each wooden cage behind him was a snow-white animal.

"This is the snow chicken, which the citizens of the city have to eat for three meals a day!"

After listening to Xiaoyu, Shen Linfeng looked at them again. The appearance is not much different from the ordinary pheasant under the mountain. Except for a pair of black eyes, almost all other places on the body are pure white.

The black-bearded man couldn't help but look at Shen Linfeng twice as he passed by.

"Who is he?"

Xiaoyu replied, "They are handymen who specialize in transporting snowcocks in the city. And these people were generally condemned by the peak master for making mistakes, so they were punished to work as coolies here. ”

Shen Linfeng nodded.

The three of them walked forward in the snow, about half an hour later. A low wooden courtyard wall came into view.

Shen Linfeng walked forward, a tattered wooden door was half-open and half-hidden, and above the wooden door was a piece of wood covered with icy edges, and in the center of the wood hung a plaque that could not see himself clearly.

You don't need to ask Shen Linfeng to guess that this plaque must have the words "Snow Chicken Garden" written on it.

The dilapidated wooden door left a deep mark on the ground. There are more than a dozen planks in the yard for transporting snowcocks. From time to time, a man's laughter could be heard from inside a broken window.

The yard is huge, but there are only two houses for the inhabitants. Most of them are in a dilapidated state, and the snow on the roofs has not been cleared, so some roofs have collapsed, and those that have not collapsed look crumbling and extremely dangerous.

"All those coolies live in this kind of place?" Xiao Yu showed a surprised expression.

"Well, the townspeople can't tolerate them, and it's good that these people can live in such a place now. Kong Hai replied coldly.

"Shh

Shen Linfeng suddenly put his finger to his lips and motioned to the Kong Hai brothers and sisters to whisper.

Kong Hai dragged Xiaoyu and walked forward slowly, and Shen Linfeng was lying under a window as if listening to something.

"Haha...... Okay, you stinky boy, okay, get out of the way and let Lao Tzu have a good time. ”

"You're in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm the right time to get up, get out of here. ”
