In the middle of the night, like a young bud.

In the depths of Xizi Lake, the surface of the lake is quiet, and there is not even a wisp of breeze. A faint mist slowly rises from the depths of the lake, enveloping the Xiangyi Boat in a picturesque manner.

The woman in front of her is also picturesque. The colorful neon dress has faded, and an ordinary lake-green hairpin skirt is wrapped around the slender figure, but it is extremely unusual. The mist in the eyes of the water was gone, and it was very bright in the light of the red candles. The skin is like congealed fat, the facial features are delicate to the extreme, and the thin lips have a hint of a smile, with a little playful taste.

Ye Li didn't know how to describe this woman, but if he really wanted to say it, it was good-looking.

"Childe's surname is Ye?" Yin Wu's lips opened lightly, and the soft words, with a glutinous fragrance, reminded Ye Li of the sweet dumplings of Wufangzhai that the shepherd took him to eat.

Ye Li's heart was a little chaotic. He remembered the snowy night in Mengzhou City, the good-looking snowman with a beaded hat in Hao's mansion, the elegant short knife in the snowstorm, and the light sigh that entered his heart.

Ye Li's cheeks suddenly became a little hot, could it be that the snowman was the good-looking woman in front of him?

"Miss Yin Wu, have we met somewhere?"

Yin Wu smiled lightly, and there was still a hint of playfulness on the corner of her mouth, "I didn't expect that looking at the honest appearance of the son is actually the tone of those slippery teenagers." Could it be that Childe usually accosted women like this?"

Seeing that Ye Li's face was slightly embarrassed, Yin Wu's smile was even stronger, "Childe is pure by nature, don't learn well from such an unscrupulous boy." Yin Wu has never left this Xiangyi Fang, how can he see Ye Gongzi?"

Hearing Yin Wu's denial, Ye Li was slightly disappointed, but slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Yin Wu in the flower hall, those eyes always have a sense of déjà vu. But for some reason, after entering this inner room, although the woman in front of him was obviously the same person as the flower hall, that familiar feeling was no longer there.

"The girl has not seen me, but she does not know what she wants to say to me?"

Yin Wu stretched out his hand to gently push the small window open, looked at the thickening mist outside the boat, and sighed faintly and said: "Yin Wu saw Gongzi in the flower hall just now, and I felt that Gongzi was very different from those gentlemen in the hall, which made Yin Wu remember some things a long, long time ago. Don't be afraid of childe's jokes when you say it, Yin Wu once had a younger brother, if it weren't for the changes in the family, he would be the age of the son now. I remember when I was a child, whenever it snowed, I pestered Yin Wu to accompany him to build a snowman. ”

Later, Yin Wu took advantage of the gap between dancing, and the more she looked at the child, the more she felt that her eyebrows were vaguely like the old people. Therefore, Yin Wu invited Gongzi to come, but it was just a whim. Maybe what Yin Wu thinks about is nothing more than the younger brother whose life and death are unknown. If Ye Gongzi has any misunderstandings, please forgive me. ”

"Forgive Yin for dancing abruptly, I don't know where my son's family lives, and who are some of them?"

Ye Li lowered his head and thought about it, "It's disappointed the girl, I'm afraid I'm not the person that Miss Yin is looking for." Ye Li has followed his master since he was a child, grew up on the island, and does not remember any other relatives. ”

Yin Wu smiled faintly, and didn't see any disappointment: "My younger brother was five or six years old when he disappeared, and he should remember what happened when he was a child, so it seems that it really has nothing to do with Ye Gongzi." In fact, it was just my own wishful thinking, the Son of Heaven is so big, where are there so many coincidences. ”

Suddenly, the smile on his face was suppressed, and he said with a slight straight face: "Since the son has messed up Yin Wu's state of mind, it can be regarded as fate, and Yin Wu has something to say." Yin Wu fell into the dust, originally helpless. But the son is in his prime, but he shouldn't come to this kind of fireworks place. It's late at night, and I'll have someone take my son ashore later. ”

Ye Li was stunned, as if he didn't expect Yin Wu to say this, stood up and said, "Thank you for the girl's advice, I'm sorry." ”

After speaking, Ye Li wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something.

Ever since I saw this woman, I have been thinking about the snowman in Mengzhou City, and my heart has been a little confused, and I almost forgot my original intention of coming here.

"The girl has lived in Hangzhou for a long time, she should be well-informed, I don't know if I have heard about any business in Jiangnan that has lost a huge amount of silver recently?"

"Why did Childe ask this?"

Ye Li always felt an inexplicable trust in the good-looking woman in front of him, so he didn't hide it from her, so he told what happened on Chinese New Year's Eve in Dangyang County.

Yin Wuxiu frowned slightly, "Although I live in the boudoir and haven't seen guests for a long time, there are a few good sisters who come and go." If there is news about something as big as this, they will definitely mention it in their daily chats. But Yin Wu had never heard of it. Judging from Yin Wu, there are two possibilities for this matter, either the owner of the lost silver has concealed this matter very tightly and has not revealed the slightest news, or there is another hidden truth in this matter. ”

Yin Wu paused for a moment, seemed to think of something, and said again: "How sinister the rivers and lakes are. With the pure conscience of the child, many ghost tricks have not been seen through. So no matter what the truth of this matter is, it won't be as simple as Childe's appearance. ”

Ye Li was stunned, he didn't expect that even Yin Wu hadn't heard of it.

Did the little girl with the beaded hat just disappear out of thin air?

"Childe doesn't need to worry, Yin Wu will definitely pay attention, if there is news, someone will definitely inform Childe. Childe still left first, and your companion seemed to be drunk, so I sent you off the ship together. ”

............

It's late at night.

When Ye Li returned to the hall, it was quiet, and everyone seemed to be thinking about their own thoughts. Only Simon Fugui eats a sip of snacks and drinks a sip of wine, and it seems that no matter what the occasion, he will always have a good appetite.

Seeing Ye Li come out of the inner room so quickly, everyone showed a slightly shocked expression. It seems that the red girl is right, Yin Wu is looking for this black-clothed young man to go in, and she really just wants to say a few words.

Qi Hanfeng seemed to be very happy, although he didn't deliberately show it, but the light smile regained a few points, and the wine glass in his hand began to bottom out.

Only Yao Lun's expression was the most complicated. Some are puzzled, some are disappointed, and some are angry.

The shepherd was still lying on the desk, seemingly drunk until now. I don't know if it's because the amount of wine he drinks is too small, or if the wine here is too intoxicating.

Ye Li touched him.

The shepherd straightened up, looked around a little dazedly, and then came to his senses, "I didn't expect the wine here to be so strong." I wonder if I'm missing something?"

Ye Li looked at him, didn't feel anything abnormal, and said, "There's nothing wrong with us here." I'm going to get off the boat, I don't know if you're going to go. ”

"What about Miss Yin Wu?" Seeing that Ye Li didn't answer, he walked out without stopping, and the shepherd smiled bitterly, so he had to follow, but there was still a little vanity under his feet, "Since you came with you, you naturally have to go with you." It's just a pity, why was he drunk at this time, otherwise he might be in Gentle Township now. ”

As the shepherd spoke, he shook his head again and again, as if he regretted it.

"Looks like there's nothing to do with me here. Although this daughter-in-law is good-looking, there are too many robbers, and I won't fight. Therefore, I still got off the boat with the two of you, maybe I could catch up with the crab roe buns that Pin Xianju had just come out of the cage. Ximen Fugui stood up, picked up a piece of pine nut cake on the table, and stuffed it in his mouth.

The young man in Tsing Yi followed behind and walked towards the door.

............

Ye Li stood at the stern of the boat and watched the lights of Xiangyifang gradually fade away. There was silence all around, except for the sound of the Tsing Yi boy shaking the wooden oar. The fog gradually thickened, and the lake in front of it was no longer visible, and there seemed to be some kind of ferocious monster waiting to be devoured in the thick fog.
