My wife is not a demon

The reason why it is desolate is not because the yard is dilapidated, but because the surrounding environment is quite bleak.

A large area of ​​trees covered half of the yard, shrouded in shadows, and the dead leaves piled up on the ground that had not been cleaned for a long time. At first glance, it seemed to come to a barren mountain.

The figures of the servants were even less visible.

There are no other courtyards nearby, only a lonely small courtyard.

When the breeze blows, the sound of 'rustling' leaves on the ground adds a bit of desolation and coldness to this place.

Chen Mu looked at the small courtyard. It was quiet inside, and it seemed that no one lived there.

But out of habit, he still walked over to check.

After approaching, Chen Mu found that the courtyard door was locked with a large black lock, which merged with the dark door.

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, but finally forced it open without using brute force.

After all, it's not time to turn around.

So he bent down a little and looked through the gap between the doors.

Because of the limited vision, Chen Mu only saw a dry well next to the house, which was covered with fallen leaves, and a few clothes were hanging casually on ropes with cobwebs.

However, one of the brighter red baby clothes is neatly hung, and it can be seen that the owner is very concerned about it.

The ticking drops of water prove that the clothes have just been washed.

Does this mean someone?

Just when Chen Mu frowned and thought, suddenly a gloomy scarlet eye stuck to the crack of the opposite door, staring at him firmly.

"Fuck!"

Chen Mu was startled, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

With a slightly faster heartbeat, he looked at the locked door with a nervous expression. The eye that popped out just now was really scary, like a monster.

Of course, it is impossible for monsters to exist in Destiny Valley, so there is a high probability that it is the owner of the courtyard.

Before Chen Mu came back to his senses, there was a rustling sound in the weeds in the corner next to him, and a thin woman crawled out from the crack in the courtyard wall.

Her clothes are ragged, like a beggar.

The hair is even more messy, not much better than a bird's nest, but the pair of eyes on the dirty face are particularly bright.

She rushed in front of Chen Mu quickly, grabbed Chen Mu's skirt, and asked anxiously with a frenzied expression, "Where is my daughter... Where is my daughter... Where did you take her... Hurry up, Come on, she must be hungry... you bring her here..."

Chen Mu frowned at the stench on the woman's body, but when he wanted to push it away, he found that she was surprisingly strong.

"What is your daughter?" Chen Mu asked with question marks all over his face.

It was obvious that this woman was a madman.

The thin cheeks and body were almost skinny, and the already tattered clothes hung on her body like tattered sacks.

"Where is my daughter... Where is she... Bring her here..."

The woman, who was about forty years old, just repeated these few words, tightly clutching Chen Mu's skirt with her skinny hands, and her scarlet eyes were full of nervous questioning.

As the woman became more and more crazy, Chen Mu's skirt was almost torn by her.

At this moment, two guarding disciples who finally heard the noise ran over, and when they saw this, they hurriedly tried to pull the woman away.

But the woman was holding her tightly, and kept muttering, making it impossible for the two disciples to pull apart, until a white shadow appeared, it was the girl Yan'er.

She raised her bare hand, and a silver needle pierced the back of the woman's neck through the cold light.

The woman let go of her hands and fell down slowly.

After falling down, the woman was still struggling to get up, grabbing the corner of Miss Yan'er's skirt, and muttering: "My daughter...my daughter...give it back to me..."

"What are you still doing?"

Miss Yan'er no longer had the gentle appearance just now, her pretty face was covered with frost, and she looked coldly at the two disciples.

The two shuddered, and hurriedly dragged the woman up and locked her in the small courtyard again.

The crack in the corner of the wall that was dug by the woman at some point was also refilled and blocked with sand and gravel.

Chapter 555 Seeing an old friend again?

The mad woman was dragged back to the small courtyard, and the voice of crying and helpless soon faded away.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I surprised you."

Miss Yan'er returned to her former gentleness and tranquility, and when she saw Chen Mu's wrinkled skirts, she wanted to tidy them up regardless of the difference between men and women.

However, Chen Mu took a step back and asked lightly, "That was just now..."

"Her name is Qu Xiangru, and she was originally my Guardian of Destiny Valley."

Miss Yan'er moved her jade fingers and gently stroked a strand of hair beside her ear, her eyes were full of sadness. "I left Destiny Valley 23 years ago because I fell in love with a lover. Who knew that lover abandoned her who was pregnant in July, and Hufa Qu was accidentally poisoned.

In order to save the child, Hufa Qu went back to the Destiny Valley and begged the master to save her, but unfortunately the master tried his best to save her, but failed to save the child.

Since then, Protector Qu has been insane, always thinking that her child is still alive, causing a lot of troubles while insane, but Master can only lock her here... oh..."

Chen Mu looked at the courtyard door that was locked again, and kept thinking about the scene just now in his mind.

Unexpectedly, when he first came to Destiny Valley, he would encounter such a secret thing. Did Destiny Valley let him see it on purpose, or happened to meet him.

Chen Mu had no answer in mind.

He set his eyes on the beautiful woman in front of him.

This girl named Yan'er is the best in both appearance and temperament, with a unique charm of a girly playfulness and a young woman's dignity.

But he couldn't arouse any interest.

It's not that the two are still in a subtle hostile relationship, but that Chen Mu is very repulsive to this woman out of the heart of a man.

You must know that Princess Lu Wuyi, whom he hates, at least sometimes arouses his desire.

"I'll go somewhere else."

Chen Mu smiled slightly, and walked towards a small courtyard in the distance opposite.

"Do you need Yan'er to accompany you?"
