Chapter 44
“Did Suwan not marry out of the village, but martial uncle Duan Peng?” Zhou ziruo guessed and contradicted: “no, village head Su seems to respect martial uncle Duan Peng. If his sister marries martial uncle Duan Peng, there’s nothing to hide! Is it true that martial uncle Duan Peng didn’t marry Su Wan, but took her away from her family? ”
“This is unreasonable. If Su Wan’s departure from the village is really related to martial uncle Duan Peng, what happened 30 years ago that the Su family lost a daughter, not only quietly, but also actively conceals the villagers, and even doesn’t complain about the person who abducted her? ” Lu LiXiao road.
Zhou ziruo, with the rich experience of modern people’s thunder drama, instantly made up his mind a story about a young girl from the mountain who was in the age of jasper and a young Yingwu who came back from studying in Xianshan. They fell in love with each other in the grove and eloped with each other in secret. The two elders didn’t want to make a fool of themselves, and they joined hands to hide the truth.
At noon, Lu LiXiao caught some fat fish from the river and roasted them for lunch. After dinner, Lu LiXiao sat down under a big tree and had a rest. Zhou ziruo, who was full of wine and food, burped heavily on him and met Duke Zhou.
Returning to the village in the afternoon, Lu LiXiao went on to ask some old people about Duan Peng. Duan Peng was too young when he left the village, and the image of the old people in the village only stayed on “the child of Duan family who was taken away by the immortal to repair the immortal”. However, he did not have much memory of Duan Peng’s return to his hometown 30 years ago. I think Duan Peng’s return to Daohe village was very low-key.
After nothing, Lu LiXiao inquired about Su Wan. Although people in the village are more familiar with Su Wan than Duan Peng, except for her strange marriage, they all praise her for her good health, warm temperament and so on.
Lu LiXiao asked village head Su’s two brothers who were away from home with a try attitude. Unexpectedly, he got some useful information.
It is said that the Su family’s four brothers and sisters have been in a good relationship since childhood, and the two elders also love their youngest daughter Su Wan very much. But on the eve of Suwan’s marriage out of the village, for a period of time, the old village head and his wife locked her at home all day long and did not allow her to go out. However, the three brothers, who had always been close friends, had a big fight in the village, and their heads were broken. Soon after that, Suwan disappeared. After a long time, people in the village learned from the old village head and his wife that she was married. Two years later, the eldest three of the Su family left home one after another. The old village head had to pass the seat to his second son Su Zhongfan. Two years after su Zhongfan got married, the old village head and his wife died of illness. The other two sons of the Su family came back for a funeral trip. During these years, they only sent people to send some things outside during the Spring Festival, and never went back to Daohe village.
About the Su family and Duan Peng, I only heard so much about them. At dusk, Lu LiXiao went back to the fence yard of the village head’s house, only to find that the house was empty and the Su family’s father and daughter were not at home.
Lu LiXiao sits down on the stone in the yard to sort out the clues he gets today. Zhou ziruo jumps out of his arms and runs to the bucket beside the well. He grabs the edge of the bucket to see the fat fish inside.
The roast fish at noon was so delicious that Zhou ziruo could not help licking his mouth and stretched his head straight into the barrel.
Lu LiXiao happened to see his fox puckering his furry buttocks, balancing his two short legs, and sweeping his big tail happily. Suddenly, an unstable wooden barrel turned over, water spilled all over the floor, and the whole fox fell to the ground in a big shape. He got up and walked over, grabbed the fox’s tail and put Zhou ziruo out.
The fat fish was lying on the ground. Lu LiXiao took half a bucket of water from the well and threw the fish back. Then he spread out Zhou ziruo, who was all wet, on the stone and went to the house to get a dry towel.
Zhou ziruo was lying on his stomach, and suddenly he felt his sight fell on him. He looked up and saw that Su Jin had come back. He was standing beside him, looking at him with a confused look.
Zhou ziruo’s pitiful “Wuwu” two times, Su Jin’s eyes lit up a new brilliance, and then turned into a little soft and warm, stretched out a hand to him. At this time, the voice of the dead fat chicken got in the way, “we’re back!”
Su Jin immediately retracted her hand, lifted the bucket of fish by the well and went to the kitchen.
Zhou ziruo is more and more sure of the morning’s conjecture. Su Jin’s cold and lonely appearance is all pretended. Because he was a small animal outside, she didn’t hide the girl’s nature when she faced him alone.
Lu LiXiao came out with a towel and wrapped Zhou ziruo in it. He asked Mu Qijun and Lengmo, “what do you know?”
Lengmo is looking at Lu LiXiao’s gentle packing for Zhou ziruo. In fact, he has long felt very strange. This fox is clearly muqijun’s fox. Why is it so close to Lu LiXiao? And Lu LiXiao has left Qingyang mountain. Where is Zhou ziruo who went alone to prove Lu LiXiao’s innocence?
“Oh…” Leng Mo came back and said, “we heard that martial uncle Duan Peng once ordered a baby kiss.”
“Baby kiss?”
Muqijun opened his folding fan and put on the posture of storytelling. However, when he came into contact with Lu LiXiao’s lukewarm eyes, he changed it to “Keke” and said in a short voice: “the other family’s surname is Liu. A widow and her daughter are often taken care of by the two elders of the Duan family, so she made a marriage. At the age of seven or eight, Mr. Duan was taken to Qingyang mountain. After living in the village for two years, the two mothers and daughters of the Liu family moved away. ”
“Is Liu’s house still there?” Lu LiXiao asked.
Muqijun said: “at the end of the village. It’s late today. We’re going to have a look tomorrow. “After a while, village head Su came back with a big basket of Shanzhen on his back. A few people were embarrassed to let the Su family wait on him and helped him get a big dinner.
After dinner, when he came back to Duan Peng’s house, Lu LiXiao found an old wooden bucket, cleaned it and bathed in boiling water. By the way, he soaked Zhou ziruo, who was full of fishy smell.
Lu LiXiao cleaned himself first, and then put soap horn on Zhou ziruo’s hair. His strength was not light or heavy. Rubbing it on his body made Zhou feel very comfortable. The fragrance of soap horn replaced the fishy smell, and his depressed mood gradually brightened.
After washing carefully, Lu LiXiao holds Zhou ziruo’s armpit and raises him to look at him. Zhou ziruo’s hair is all wet through. When he sticks it on his body, it looks smaller and more attractive.
Lu LiXiao smiles, and Zhou ziruo feels that he is electrified at that moment.
After taking a bath, Lu LiXiao sat on the bed, wiped Zhou ziruo’s hair with a towel, and patted him on the bottom. Zhou ziruo remembered Lu LiXiao’s bad behavior in the farmer’s Chaifang, and immediately threw his big tail to cover the two round ox in front of him. Seeing his alert reaction, Lu LiXiao pinched his tail and got up to pour the water out of the bucket.
In the middle of the night, if Zhou ziruo was sleeping soundly in Lu LiXiao’s arms, “tick” rang out clearly in his ears.
When he opened his eyes, he still couldn’t tell the dream from the reality. Lu LiXiao lay on his side, holding him in his chest with a powerful arm. They were so close, but he couldn’t hear his breathing, only his ears echoed –
tick
Zhou ziruo suddenly feels creepy. He wants to wake Lu LiXiao up, but he is like a ghost, unable to make a sound or move.
Tick
Tick
Tick
I don’t know whether the feeling of cold is from the air into the heart, or from the depths of the soul spread out, climbed up the spine, if Zhou had a kind of fear about to suffocate! At this time, Lu LiXiao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He took out Zhang Lanfu from under his pillow and said something in a low voice. Then Lanfu burst into a light blue fire in the dark.
The door sounded again, as if something had broken through the door. Lu LiXiao threw the blue symbol in his hand to the table, and half of the candles on the table lit up the turbid light.
Warm back to Zhou ziruo, his body recovered action, afraid of holding Lu LiXiao’s neck tightly, shrinking in his neck socket, shivering.
Lu LiXiao’s warm and broad palm gently rubbed the hair on his back and comforted him: “don’t be afraid. If it makes me fall asleep, it’s the limit. Besides scaring you, I can’t do anything to you.”
“Why does it scare me…” Zhou ziruo asked.
“To scare me. Let’s get out of the village quickly. ” Lu LiXiao road.
Zhou ziruo looked up at him and said, “it doesn’t want us to go further, that is to say…”
Lu LiXiao said: “that is to say, what we have inquired about today does contain information related to it.”
Zhou ziruo suddenly realized something. That thing specially chooses him to frighten, because Lu LiXiao, as a man, is full of Yang Qi and can’t get close to him, but as a demon, he has Yin Qi! Lu LiXiao beat it away just now. I don’t think it dare to come again. Will it change its target to scare another demon, muqijun?
In the middle of the night, muqijun heard the sound of dripping water in his sleep. He turned over to avoid the rain.
But the voice is like a shadow, followed by drilling into the ear: “tick…”
Mu Qi Jun impatiently raised his hand to sweep away the non-existent rain, and the ink blue and white Jue hanging on his waist came out. With a flash of light, the sound disappeared completely.
This movement woke him up. He had a dry mouth, so he got up and went out to look for water. When Runhou plans to go back to his room and continue to sleep, he notices that there is a little light under the crack of the door in Su Village’s long room.
He came to the door of prime minister Su’s house with a light step. With a light push, the door opened silently. Through the crack, he saw Prime Minister Su standing in front of the wall with his back to him. There seemed to be a picture scroll on the wall.
After waiting for a few moments, the village head in the room just stood in front of the picture and did not move. Muqi Jun’s previous curiosity idea disappeared.
In the daytime, I asked for news in the village. I happened to hear that village head Su’s wife had drowned. Village head Su was so devoted to his wife that he refused to go to bed for a long time. It’s estimated that he was thinking of his dead wife when he didn’t sleep in the middle of the night.
Mu Qi Jun shook his head with emotion and quietly went back to the room to continue to sleep.
