Actually, let Chu Lu go back, it was also Chi Zhongtian just decided, after all, Chu Lu is the biggest water bandit leader on the Jialing River, it is difficult to guarantee that this water ghost on the Fuling River will not know him, in case he knows the identity of this Chu Lu, I am afraid that what he wants to do will not be easy to do.

Anyway, there's nothing to do here, so it's good to let him go back early.

Sending Chun Lu to a small boat, Chi Zhongtian did not take a boat back to Shunqing Mansion, but returned directly to the village just now, and came to the house with a red cloth hanging again.

"Anyone?" Chi Zhongtian shouted from outside the door.

"It's coming!"

Soon, a woman's voice was heard, and the door was opened.

The one who opened the door was an aunt about forty years old, wearing a blue torn jacket and a square scarf wrapped around her head, I don't know if she was afraid of the cold.

"Can you live here?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

"Of course you can, you can really look for it, I'm the cleanest one in the village, please come in!"

Saying that, the aunt enthusiastically let Chi Zhongtian into the house.

After entering, Chi Zhongtian looked around, this room is not big, except for the middle, there is a small room on the left and right, and two cloth curtains are used as doors to cover the door.

"Please!" said the aunt, she walked towards a room on the left, reached out and lifted the curtain, and let Chi Zhongtian in.

There are no furnishings in the room, just a bed and a table, although it is simple, but it is really clean, and the pool smells for a long time, and there is no smell.

"It's good, it's good, how much does it cost to stay for a night?" Chi Zhongtian asked as he looked at it.

"It's not expensive, fifty wen!" said the aunt with a smile.

Fifty wen In Chi Zhongtian's opinion, that is not money, Chi Zhongtian is touching his whole body at the moment, and he can't find fifty wen, and the least on his body is also one or two silver ingots.

"Auntie, let's do it, you get me some food in the evening, and I'll give you a tael of silver, do you see enough?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

When the aunt heard this, she immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Enough, enough, enough." ”

"Okay, it's a tael of silver, you take it. After Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, he handed over the silver.

"Thank you for this son, you are really generous, not to mention handsome, and you are so generous!" After the aunt took the money, she also looked Chi Zhongtian up and down, her eyes were full of joy.

Chi Zhongtian just said that he wanted to go back to Shunqing Mansion, it was just a momentary thought, he wouldn't go back, this time and again, how much time would have to be delayed, Chi Zhongtian promised the king, three days at most, things will definitely not be done today, Chi Zhongtian thought that he must find out about the water ghost before tomorrow night, and then he has to solve the matter of that Fuzi after he goes back, after all, he is also related to Jiang Xianda, and it is not good to always detain others like this, no matter how you say it, Jiang Xianda has not offended himself.

After the aunt went out, Chi Zhongtian felt bored alone, so he simply sat on the bed, began to close his eyes and ponder, and carefully combed through the events of that day in his mind, for fear of missing any details.

Chi Zhongtian has long known by now that details cannot be missing, and sometimes a detail is missing, which may lead to a complete collapse of the entire situation.

After thinking about it for a while, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Near the river, it was even colder at night, and Rao was strong in the pond, so he couldn't help but tighten his clothes, and walked back and forth in the house a few times, moving around to ward off the cold.

After a while, there was a movement outside, as if it was the sound of placing dishes and chopsticks, and soon, the aunt's voice came.

"Childe, let's eat. ”

Chi Zhongtian casually agreed and walked out.

At this time, a small wooden table had been set up outside, and two chairs had been placed, and two pots of vegetables had been placed on the table, which did not smell very fragrant, but had a fishy smell.

"Childe, there's nothing good to eat in this place, why don't you make do with it?" the aunt asked tentatively.

"It's okay, it's okay to eat, I'm not particular. Chi Zhongtian said with a smile, then sat down on the chair, picked up the flatbread in the box next to him, and took a bite of it.

After eating a few bites of flatbread, Chi Zhongtian picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a few pieces of fish and meat to eat, to say that the taste, it is really far worse than eating in Jishui Village, but fortunately, Chi Zhongtian has eaten fish once today and also ate some pancake roll beef on the shore, so he is not very hungry now.

The aunt saw that Chi Zhongtian ate quite deliciously, so she happily sat opposite and ate with him.

While eating, Chi Zhongtian asked casually: "Auntie, you are alone at home." ”

"My man is a fisherman, and he usually doesn't come back for ten days or eight days when he goes out, no, he just came back yesterday and left again this morning, so I'm usually alone. The aunt replied very enthusiastically.

"Oh, then it's not easy for you to be a woman at home by yourself. ”

In fact, Chi Zhongtian's words were nothing more than ordinary kind words, but to the aunt's ears, it seemed that Chi Zhongtian cared about her very much.

"Well, who said it wasn't, Childe, look at your age, it's not that big. ”

"It's not big, it's not big, it's in your twenties. Chi Zhongtian replied with a smile.

"In your twenties, tsk, you came out alone in your twenties. The aunt said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. Chi Zhongtian didn't seem to want to say much to this woman, so after finishing speaking, he began to eat with his head bored.

After eating for a while, he felt almost full, so Chi Zhongtian said, "When I'm full, I'll rest first." ”

"Are you full?" Eat a little more, or may I make you some more porridge?" asked the aunt.

"Thank you, then you don't have to, I'm full, don't bother. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Alright, then you can rest. The aunt saw that Chi Zhongtian really didn't want to eat, so she didn't persuade him again.

After Chi Zhongtian returned to the house, he looked left and right, but he didn't see where the door of the house was, except for a curtain of cloth, there was nothing.

Presumably, the people in the mountain village are simple, and besides, this is an inner house, and if there is no door, there is no door, and I am afraid that the thief will not succeed.

Thinking like this, Chi Zhongtian didn't care about this, went directly to the bed, took off his shoes and coat, and then moved the quilt on the bed to the side, and covered his clothes on his body after lying down.

I don't know weishenme, and the world in the pool is subconsciously reluctant to cover the quilt here, I don't know if it's dirty or something else.

Not long after lying down, Chi Zhongtian couldn't stand it a little.
