Section 14 Concealment

After the three of them were full of wine and food, they walked to the east of the city, and the counties in the northeast of the city were more prosperous than other places, and there were many merchants who lived here temporarily, and it was not uncommon to see a few blonde and blue-eyed outsiders.

Bypassing the bustling center, the three of them came to a remote place, surrounded by unique tile houses in the south of the Yangtze River, which looked like farmhouses, but they were also very elegantly decorated.

The three of them stopped in front of a door, and the couplets on both sides of the spring had turned white, which was one of the families of people who had been dug out of their hearts but came back to life. Hu Lu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after waiting for a long time for the door to open, what came out was a young woman in her twenties, dressed in plain clothes, looking simple but elegant.

After learning of the intention, the woman hesitated for a while and invited the three of them into the door.

It's not big inside, it's a small courtyard when you go in, there are all kinds of herbs in the yard, it seems that this is a family of doctors, like other people's homes, there is no abnormality, after Hu Lu they went in, the woman came with tea, holding a few months old child in her hand.

"What is this girl, what is your name? ?" Qingyuan asked.

The woman got up, put the child in the cradle next to her, looked haggard, and replied softly: "Everyone else calls me Yun Niang." ”

"Yun Niang, our sudden visit is very abrupt, in Xia Qingyuan, is your husband at home?" Qingyuan continued to ask, as polite as before.

Yun Niang shook her head, "In the past, at this time, he should have collected herbs on the outskirts of the trees in the east of the city, but since he came out... So he went to the west of the city, and if you want to ask about that, please go back, forgive us for not being able to tell you. Yun Niang's appearance is very resolute, and she can't see that a soft woman can also show such a look.

Long Yuan heard that she wanted to dare them go, and hurriedly said: "Yun Niang, we know that that incident hit you very hard, you may not mention those things anymore, and live as if nothing happened, but Yun Niang, you are a person who understands, you should understand that as long as you are in Lingxiao City, you must not be left behind." ”

In fact, Yun Niang is scrupling about what other people know, such a family, the couple plus their newborn child, should be a happy and happy life, after digging out the heart, I thought that her husband was dead, and the thin woman in front of me may not be able to understand by ordinary people at all, and now that she is resurrected again, she naturally cherishes it very much, and does not want to break such a peaceful day.

Yun Niang was still silent, and looked at the sleeping child in the cradle.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the three of them didn't want to force it, and were about to go out, when suddenly a man's voice came from outside the door: "Everyone, please stay." ”

Hu Lu looked outside the door, only to see a sturdy man in his twenties, with a little dark skin, carrying a bamboo basket behind him, with a lot of herbs in it, it seemed that it was the woman's husband, Yun Niang saw that her husband was back, and hurriedly greeted the door, and then the bamboo basket behind him wiped the sweat on the young man's forehead with his sleeve.

The man walked straight in, like Hu Lu and they saluted, "Three, the insider, the countryside and village woman, I don't know the number of etiquette, I neglected the three, I hope to forgive me, the contemptible surname is Li, and the single name is a virtuous character." Although this Li Xian looks no different from an ordinary man, judging from his speech and behavior, he can be said to be worthy of his virtuous character.

After Qingyuan told Li Xian what he meant, Li Xian took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and motioned Yun Niang to retreat.

"Looking at the posture of the three celestials, they must not be mortals, if some of the information below can help you, it will naturally be a good thing. In the next from the next to study medicine, inspirational hanging pot to help the world, cure the disease and save people, if the three can capture this demon, in the next is grateful. ”

"Then tell me what happened. Hu Lu said.

The man looked like Hu Lu, and suddenly his eyes gathered, staring at Hu Lu with suspicious eyes, and the three people who looked at him didn't know what was wrong.

Li Xian noticed the faux pas, so he no longer looked like Hu Lu, he seemed to be reminiscing, and said slowly: " That day, as usual, I collected herbs in the east of the city, and was about to go home when the sun was about to set, suddenly the wind was blowing, the fog was filled, and I couldn't see the road ahead for a while, I thought it was the fog before the night, so I quickened my pace, but I didn't expect that on the way down the mountain, a monster in red clothes suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, the fog was too big to see what it looked like, it was some distance away, but I didn't expect to suddenly come to my face, I saw her appearance, two eyes flashed and stared at me, and then stretched out a sharp claw, at that time I only felt severe pain all over the body, and fainted, and I seemed to have reached the underworld during the coma, There was a lot of unjust spirits floating around, thinking that I was dead, but I didn't expect to be resurrected. After saying this, Li Xian was extremely excited, and his whole body trembled.

Hu Lu listened and whispered: "Then we still don't know why he came back from the dead." ”

Qing Yuan didn't speak, just walked slowly like Li Xian, and pressed Li Xian's hand with his hand, and soon, Qing Yuan frowned, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Then what happened during the three days you were unconscious. Long Yuan asked.

Li Xian took a few deep breaths, picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water, "My insider said that I didn't come back that day, so I went to look for me with my neighbors, and soon found my body at the foot of the mountain, I was out of breath at that time, but three days later, at night, my wife fell asleep in front of my mourning hall, and when she woke up, she saw a money bag thrown on the ground, which contained a lot of gold, and attached a note that said, Your husband is fine. Saying this, Li Xian's mood stabilized a little, and he took out the note in his pocket.

The three of them said goodbye to Li Xian and planned to go to the eastern suburbs of the city where Li Xian had an accident.

Long Yuan had been at the forefront, and Qing Yuan had been tightening his eyebrows, as if something was going on.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak all the way, Long Yuan deliberately pretended to be pensive and said, "There are three doubts about this matter. ”

Hu Lu looked at Long Yuan, "What's suspicious?" ”

"First, why does this monster have to take his heart when he kills people, and return it after taking his heart. Second, the note left by this monster seems to be that she didn't want to hurt anyone, as if there is something unspeakable. Third, this Li Xian's words seem to be very true, but he is hiding something from us, why should he hide it from us?"

"How do you know he's hiding something?" asked Hu Lu.

Long Yuan looked mysterious, leaning close to Hu Lu's ear, Hu Lu's face was full of doubts, Long Yuan said softly: "Intuition~"

Hu Lu knew that he had been fooled, and raised his hand to push away Long Yuan, who was smiling, the sky gradually darkened, and a mist had risen unintentionally, as if a huge conspiracy was brewing.
