"Could it be that Suwan didn't marry far away from the village, but married Uncle Duan Peng?" Zhou Ziruo guessed, then contradicted: "No, Village Chief Su seems to respect Uncle Duan Peng, if his My sister married Uncle Duan Peng, so there is nothing to hide! Could it be that Uncle Duan Peng did not marry Su Wan, but took her away from the Su family?"
"This is what is unreasonable. If Suwanli Village is really related to Uncle Duan Peng, then what happened thirty years ago that caused the Su family to lose a daughter not only silently, but also actively concealed it?" The villagers didn't even complain about the person who abducted their daughter?" Lu Lixiao said.
Zhou Ziruo, relying on the rich experience of modern people in thunder dramas, instantly imagined a mountain girl in the jasper years and a heroic young man who returned from studying in Xianshan fell in love with Xiaoshu, and they secretly married each other and eloped together. The two parents did not want to make their family ugly. It's a bloody drama to hide the truth together.
At noon, Lu Lixiao caught a few fat fish from the river and grilled them for lunch. After the meal, Lu Lixiao sat under a big tree to take a rest. Zhou Ziruo, who was full of wine and food, lay on him with his limbs spread wide and hiccupped, meeting Duke Zhou.
After returning to the village in the afternoon, Lu Lixiao continued to find several old people in the village to inquire about Duan Peng. Duan Peng was too young when he left the village, and the old people in the village only thought of him as "the baby of the Duan family who was taken away by the immortal to cultivate immortality". I don't have much memory. I think Duan Peng was very low-key when he returned to Daohe Village.
After finding nothing, Lu Lixiao inquired about Suwan. Although the people in the village are more familiar with Su Wan than Duan Peng, except for her bizarre marriage, they always praise her for her succulent nature, gentle temperament and so on.
Lu Lixiao asked Village Chief Su's two brothers who were traveling far away with a mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he accidentally picked up some useful information.
It is said that the four brothers and sisters of the Su family had a very good relationship since they were young, and the two elders also loved the young daughter Su Wan very much. But on the eve of Suwan's marriage to 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 brothers and sisters had a big fight in the village, and their heads were broken. Suwan disappeared shortly after that, and it was not until a long time later that the people in the village learned from the old village head and his wife that she was married. Two years later, the eldest and third sons of the Su family left home one after another, and the old village head had to pass the position to his second son, Su Zhongfan. I came back for a funeral, and these years I only asked people to send some outside things during the festivals, and I never went back to Daohe Village.
About the Su family and Duan Peng, I only heard so much. At dusk, when Lu Lixiao returned to the fenced courtyard of the Su village chief's house, he found that the house was empty, and the Su family's father and daughter were not at home.
Lu Lixiao sat down on the stone in the yard and sorted out the clues he got today. Zhou Ziruo jumped out of his arms, ran to the wooden barrel by the well, and grabbed the edge of the wooden barrel to look at the few lively fat fish inside.
The grilled fish at noon was so delicious that Zhou Ziruo couldn't help licking his mouth and sticking his head straight into the bucket.
Lu Lixiao inadvertently looked over, just in time to see his spirit fox sticking out its furry buttocks, holding its short legs vigorously, sweeping its big tail around cheerfully, suddenly an unstable wooden barrel tipped over, and water spilled all over it. The ground slipped under his feet, and the whole fox fell to the ground in a big shape. He got up and walked over, grabbed the fox by the tail and lifted Zhou Ziruo upside down.
The fat fish was swaying desperately on the ground, Lu Lixiao fetched half a bucket of water from the well and threw the fish back, then spread Zhou Ziruo, who was drenched all over, to dry on the stone, and went to the room to get a dry towel.
Zhou Ziruo lay on his stomach, suddenly felt eyes on him, looked up, and found that Sujin came back at some time, and was standing beside him looking at him with ignorant eyes.
Zhou Ziruo made pitiful "woo woo" twice, and Sujin's eyes lit up with a strange brilliance, and then turned into a little soft warmth, and stretched out a hand to him. At this time, the voice of the dead fat chicken interrupted, "We are back!"
Sujin immediately withdrew her hand, picked up the bucket of fish by the well and walked to the kitchen.
Zhou Ziruo became more and more sure of his guess in the morning, Sujin's indifferent and withdrawn appearance was all fake. Because he was a small animal on the outside, she didn't hide her girlish nature when facing him alone.
Lu Lixiao came out with a towel to wrap Zhou Ziruo, and casually asked Mu Qijun and Leng Mo, "Did you hear anything?"
Leng Mo was staring at Lu Lixiao's gentle action of packing Zhou Ziruo in a daze. In fact, he has long felt very strange, this fox is obviously Mu Qijun's spirit fox, why did he become so close to Lu Lixiao when they met? Lu Lixiao also left Qingyang Mountain, where did Zhou Ziruo go to prove Lu Lixiao's innocence
"Oh..." Leng Mo came back to his senses, and said, "We found out that Uncle Duan Peng once ordered a baby kiss."
"Baby dear?"
Mu Qijun opened his folding fan, posing as a storyteller, but after meeting Lu Lixiao's lukewarm eyes, he changed to "cough cough" and said shortly: "The other party's family name is Liu, and a widow with a daughter often accepts The two elders of the Duan family helped and took care of them, so they made a marriage agreement. Senior Duan was taken to Qingyang Mountain when he was seven or eight years old, and the mother and daughter of the Liu family lived in the village for two years before moving out."
"Is the Liu family's house still there?" Lu Lixiao asked.
Mu Qijun said: "It's at the end of the village. It's late today, we plan to go and have a look tomorrow."
After a while, Village Chief Su came back with a big basket of mountain treasures on his back. They were embarrassed to let the father and daughter of Su's family take care of them, and helped prepare a sumptuous dinner.
Returning to Duan Peng's house after dinner, Lu Lixiao found an old wooden barrel, scrubbed it clean, boiled water to take a bath, and soaked Zhou Ziruo, who was full of fishy smell, in it by the way.
Lu Lixiao washed himself first, and then rubbed soap on Zhou Ziruo's hair. The strength of his hands was neither light nor heavy. Zhou Ziruo felt particularly comfortable when he rubbed it on his body. The fragrance of soap replaced the smell of fish, making him depressed The mood gradually brightened.
After washing it carefully, Lu Lixiao held Zhou Ziruo's armpit with both hands, and lifted him up to size him up. Zhou Ziruo's hair was all soaked, and when he stuck to his body, he looked smaller and more lovable.
Lu Lixiao smiled slightly, Zhou Ziruo felt that he was shocked at that moment.
After taking a shower, Lu Lixiao sat on the bed and dried Zhou Ziruo's hair with a towel, and patted his buttocks. Zhou Ziruo remembered Lu Lixiao's bad behavior in the farmer's woodshed, and immediately covered his front with his big tail. Two round OX. Seeing his vigilant reaction, Lu Lixiao pinched his tail, got up and poured out the water in the barrel.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Ziruo was sleeping soundly in Lu Lixiao's arms, and a "tick" sounded clearly in his ears.
When he opened his eyes, he still couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. Lu Lixiao was lying on his side, a strong arm casually holding him to his chest. They were so close, but he couldn't hear his breathing. Only the ear echoes—
tick tock...
Zhou Ziruo suddenly felt creepy. He wanted to wake Lu Lixiao up, but he was like a ghost pressing a bed, unable to make a sound or move.
tick tock...
tick tock...
tick tock...
I don't know whether the cold feeling penetrated into the lungs from the air, or spread from the depths of the soul and climbed up the back. Zhou Ziruo felt the fear of being about to suffocate! And at this moment, Lu Lixiao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, took out a blue talisman from under his pillow and said something in a low voice, and the blue talisman burst into light blue flames in the darkness.
The door panel slammed loudly, as if something had broken through the door, Lu Lixiao threw the blue talisman in his hand on the table, and half of the candle on the table lit up with a muddy light.
The warmth returned to Zhou Ziruo's body, his body regained its mobility, and he hugged Lu Lixiao's neck tightly in fear, shivering against his neck.
Lu Lixiao's warm and broad palm gently stroked the hair on his back, comforting: "Don't be afraid, it's the limit for 'it' to make me fall into a deep sleep, and there is nothing it can do to you except to scare you."
"Why did 'it' come to scare me..." Zhou Ziruo asked.
"To intimidate me. Let's leave this village quickly." Lu Lixiao said.
Zhou Ziruo raised his head to look at him, "'It' doesn't want us to investigate further, that is to say..."
Lu Lixiao interface: "That is to say, what we inquired about today does contain information related to 'it'."
Zhou Ziruo suddenly realized something. That thing picked him out to scare him, because Lu Lixiao was a man with a strong yang energy and couldn't get close to him, while he was a monster with a yin energy! 'It' was beaten away by Lu Lixiao just now, so it probably doesn't dare to come again, so will 'it' change its target to scare another monster—Mu Qijun
In the middle of the night, Mu Qijun faintly heard the "tick" dripping sound in his sleep. A scene of rain appeared in his dream, so he turned over to avoid the rain.
But the voice followed like a shadow, and then got into the ears: "Tick tock..."
Impatiently, Mu Qijun raised his hand to sweep away the non-existent rainwater, revealing the black and blue flowers hanging from his waist, with a faint green light flashing, the voice completely disappeared without a trace.
This movement woke him up, his mouth was a little dry, so he got up and went out to find water to drink. When I moistened my throat and planned to go back to my room to continue sleeping, I noticed a little light peeking out from the crack in the door of Mr. Su's room.
He walked lightly to the door of Village Chief Su's room, and with a slight push, the half-covered door opened a crack silently. Through the crack, he saw Village Chief Su standing in front of the wall with his back to him. made a scroll.
After waiting for a few moments, Village Chief Su in the room just stood motionless in front of the picture scroll, and the previous curious thoughts in Mu Qijun's mind disappeared.
During the day, I was inquiring about the news in the village. I happened to hear that Mrs. Su's wife had drowned. Mr. Su was so affectionate with his wife that he refused to continue her life. It is estimated that he was staring at a painting in a daze during the middle of the night because he was thinking about it. dead wife.
Mu Qijun shook his head with emotion, quietly returned to the room and continued to sleep with his head covered.
