[Lu Hua] Son, you lost a chicken

Before Sikong Zaixing could speak, Hua Manlou answered Lu Xiaofeng's question on his behalf: "I invited Sikong Zaixing here."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows sideways, and said, "Please Sikong Zhaixing? Why, ask him to steal something for you?"

Sikong Zhaixing wondered: "How do you know?"

Lu Xiaofeng said leisurely: "Apart from stealing, what else would you do?"

Sikong Zhaixing: "..."

Speechless, you are right.

Sikong Zhaixing rolled his eyes and said, "Then guess what Huamanlou asked me to steal?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm not a god, there are tens of thousands of things in this world, how do I know what he asked you to steal? But it probably won't be gold, silver, pearls and emeralds."

Sikong Zhaixing said triumphantly: "Please beg me, I will tell you if you beg me."

Seeing Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng bickering fiercely, Hua Manlou couldn't help laughing: "Save your energy first, let's think about how to get out of this forest as soon as possible."

Sikong Zhaixing gave a "hum" to Lu Xiaofeng, turned his head and continued to lead the way with all his heart.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry, he felt like he was arguing with a three-year-old child.

The question of what was stolen was thus put on hold.

Although the road in the forest is not easy to walk, these three people are all top-notch martial arts experts today, and Sikong Zaixing also knows the way, so they didn't suffer much suffering along the way, and it can be said that they walked very properly.But as the saying goes, "Extreme joy begets sorrow", it can be seen that if something goes too smoothly, you will encounter some troubles, which is really normal.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others are now in trouble, and it's not a small trouble.

Originally, Sikong Zhaixing said that he would be able to walk out of the forest in a few hours, and it was time to rejoice.Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred.

The singing sound came again indistinctly, like weeping and complaining.

"The moon is shining, people are panicking, and the blood moon is shining on the setting sun. Hey, where is another land!"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed immediately.He subconsciously took a step forward to block in front of Huamanlou, and said loudly towards the source of the sound very impolitely: "I don't know which hero it is? What's the point of being evasive, why don't you come out and meet and make friends? "

The voice was still so thin and shrill, and it was mixed with small and small laughter, which was unspeakably weird: "It's not very good. I was just entrusted by someone to give you a piece of advice. You don't have to be so tense."

Hua Manlou, who had been silent for a long time, took the words of this "girl" who didn't know whether she was a human or a ghost. He still looked so leisurely and at ease, as if this was not a forest but his back garden. The voice was not only not shrill. Terrifying and tactful like a warbler's cry.He said: "Girl, please tell me, we are all ears."

The voice suddenly turned cold and stern, and said: "Hua Ruling is not guilty of death! Don't pursue this matter any more, or your life will be in question. The arrow rain in the Bie Mansion and the change of the small building are a warning."

Hua Manlou's tone still sounded calm, but Lu Xiaofeng knew that he was already a little unhappy.Hua Manlou asked back: "My father has always been upright, how could he die without guilt?"

But no one answered him anymore.

Lu Xiaofeng flew up as if waking up from a dream, trying to find the owner of the voice, but it was too late.Except for a few startled sparrows and birds, there was no living thing in the woods.

Hua Manlou calmly said, "Brother Lu, you don't need to chase anymore, that person has already left. She hid far away and caught her by surprise. We missed the opportunity, and it is impossible to chase again."

Lu Xiaofeng fell into silence, he didn't know how to comfort Hua Manlou, he could only say: "Brother Hua, don't worry, I, Lu Xiaofeng, will investigate this matter to the end."

Hua Manlou showed a slight smile: "Okay, let's go together."

Sikong Zhaixing added: "There is also me, Sikong Zhaixing."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said: "With the three of us, what else can't be done? Don't worry, Brother Hua, he will definitely restore your father's innocence."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Okay."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know it at this time, it turned out that sometimes the truth that he worked so hard to find would make people unbearable to look directly at.Now he is just full of confidence and enthusiasm, believing that he can find out the truth about Hua Ruling's murder and find out the hidden meaning behind that weird song.He did have such ability and ability, but he did not expect such truth.He should have thought earlier that there are not many crazy people, at least not as many as poor people.It's just that poor people are sometimes hateful.

After an unpleasant episode, the group of three walked out of the forest very smoothly.Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng were very happy - they had eaten wild fruits and wild rabbits in the forest for several days, without any condiments, the birds were almost fading out of their mouths, and there was no wine to drink.Although Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing are not big alcoholics, they still miss good wine from time to time.

But before the good wine, a well-behaved Confucian question popped up in Lu Xiaofeng's mind that never pretended to be "rules": "Hua Man Lou, don't you need to go back to guard the coffin for your father and arrange the funeral?"

Hua Manlou replied: "It is very important to investigate the cause of death, my father will not blame me. There are my elder brothers and the others at the funeral, and they will handle it properly."

A thought flashed through Lu Xiaofeng's mind, but he didn't say it out loud.He smiled and said: "But as your friends and your father's descendants, Sikong Jiexing and I should go to the funeral."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "If so, I didn't think about it."

Huamanlou didn't understand why Lu Xiaofeng suddenly went to attend the funeral for his father instead of continuing to follow the clues to trace his father's death.Wouldn't it be more direct and faster to follow the clues of the disguised servants in the villa, the killers in the small building, and the singing in the brothel?The only explanation he could think of was that Lu Xiaofeng wanted to investigate this matter based on the behavior of various people at the funeral.But what if the murderer didn't show up at the funeral?

Hua Manlou didn't ask because he believed in Lu Xiaofeng.

Believe, isn't it one of the most beautiful things in this world?

certainly.And Lu Xiaofeng also knew that Huamanlou believed him, because he also believed in Huamanlou.His trust in Huamanlou is incomparable.Although he also trusted Sikong Zhaixing, Ximen Chuixue, and the honest monk, and he trusted enough to entrust his life, but this kind of trust was still different from the trust in Huamanlou.

For Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Man Lou is a unique Hua Man Lou.

For Huamanlou, Lu Xiaofeng is also the unique Lu Xiaofeng.

They are all happy people, since they have already decided to go to Jiangnan Hua's house to mourn Hua Ruling, naturally there is no reason to dawdle.After a short rest, the three of them bought three of the best and most expensive horses in a nearby town, and hurried towards Hua's house in the south of the Yangtze River.

After changing horses a few times, Jiangnan Huajia is not far away.

At this time, the first seven have not passed.

The Jiangnan Huajia, which was full of flowers in the past, is now full of bleak atmosphere.Not only because it was late autumn and the flowers and plants were withered, but also because there were white cloth strips hanging everywhere, showing that the legendary richest man in the south of the Yangtze River was going west.Only the circles of colorful paper flowers on the wreath are in full bloom, as if celebrating death.

The breath of death permeated the mansion.

As soon as Huamanlou entered the flower house, servants came to offer white linen clothes, even Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing received white cloth strips.Hua Manlou followed the servants to change clothes, while Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing went in first.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng saw an acquaintance here.

The acquaintance, with a shiny bald head, was bowing his head and chanting, and he was wearing a cloak that everyone could wear with a bit of compassion. He mixed with a group of monks and recited the pharmacist's mantra for Hua Ruling.

Who else would this person think of other than an honest monk?

Lu Xiaofeng hadn't seen the honest monk for a long time, at this moment he really wanted to tease the honest monk who only spoke the truth.

It's a pity that the honest monk also saw him when he turned around.The honest monk quietly moved his position, and then mixed into the crowd, trying to escape.

Lu Xiaofeng was still thinking about how to get the honest monk out of the monk pile without alarming others, but now he came out by himself.Lu Xiaofeng very rudely blocked the honest monk's way.

"Honest monk, why are you so honest as a monk here?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

The honest monk had a sad face: "Why do I see you, Lu Xiaofeng, everywhere? The honest monk is always honest, and he is always a monk. Isn't it a matter of course for monks to recite scriptures?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "The honest monk, has he done anything dishonest recently?"

The honest monk said: "The honest monk has always been very honest. When did you do something dishonest?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Did you watch the eldest girl sleep?"

The honest monk repeatedly begged for forgiveness: "That's what happened to the honest monk, why do you make fun of him every time you see him?"

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to tease a few more words, but was interrupted by a voice.He heard Hua Manlou's voice, Hua Manlou was calling him: "Lu Xiaofeng."

Turning around, Lu Xiaofeng met Shang Huamanlou's eyes.Looking back, the honest monk had already managed to escape by taking advantage of his flashy kung fu.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't care too much, and went to Hua Manlou's side on his own.

Hua Manlou changed into a white linen dress, which was no longer the silk and satin she usually wears.The pain of losing a loved one is unbearable even for Huamanlou, who has always been calm and happy.Although he was still calm, there was a bit of sadness hidden under the calm.

Lu Xiaofeng knew that it would take time for this sadness to fade away. Although he had never had such an experience, he had seen a lot in these years of traveling around the rivers and lakes.But Lu Xiaofeng still felt a little sad.He had an urge to hug Huamanlou gently and tell him not to be sad.

In the end, Lu Xiaofeng didn't do anything, just smiled and said to Hua Manlou: "Hua Manlou, are you here?"

The author has something to say:

Lu Xiaofeng asked the honest monk about sleeping with a girl... I remember that in the original book, he liked to catch the honest monk and ask him this question, hahahahahahaha cute
