Chai Jiu went upstairs to call Gu Nanyuan, after a while, Gu Nanyuan came down from upstairs.So, the group of them went out, Gu Lin was forced by Gu Nanyuan to stay in the shop, and accompanied Li Ge to watch the shop.

Ye Yin stood up from the sofa and said, "I... can I go with you?"

"You?" Gu Nanyuan looked him up and down, and said, "Did you leave Qiuyu Town yesterday?"

No one told Gu Nanyuan about Ye Yin's departure from Qiuyu Town. I don't know how he could tell it at a glance, but when he said this, Ye Yin's eyes widened and he ran to Gu Nanyuan excitedly. In front of him, it seemed as if he had grasped the last straw: "Boss, do you think I can still be saved?"

Gu Nanyuan pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems that there is no hope."

Ye Yin almost fainted on the spot, and his face became very pale, as if he didn't know what to do.

"In this case, then you can go with us." Gu Nanyuan said, "After all, this will most likely be your last wish."

Ye Yin: "..."

Su Beize couldn't tell whether Gu Nanyuan was telling the truth or joking, seeing Ye Yin's unlucky look, he thought to himself that his mention of the Twelve Dependent Origins might really be just a coincidence.

"What's wrong?" Gu Nanyuan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Su Beize was taken aback, then turned to look at Gu Nanyuan: "What?"

"It looks like you're preoccupied." Gu Nanyuan's voice was very low, the two walked side by side, and only the two of them could hear what they said, "Did someone tell you anything?"

Su Beize couldn't believe it: "...you can see this?"

Gu Nanyuan curled his lips: "Guess."

Su Beize: "...Okay."

Led by Zhao Mingdeng, they soon arrived at the place.

This is a very ordinary house, the door is open, and you can see the scene in the yard very well.

The yard is not very big, the ground is paved with stone slabs and pebbles, but two spaces are specially vacated, and two peach trees are planted, and there is a well between the two peach trees.

At the entrance of the main room, an old man with white hair is sitting on the threshold, and a little girl about 13 years old, sitting next to her, seems to be teaching her what to write on the ground with a branch.

"Grandma, this is your name." The little girl said with a sweet smile.

The old man couldn't speak, he said "ah, ah" twice, picked up the branch with trembling and convulsive hands, and imitated the appearance of a little girl to write and draw on the ground, but he still couldn't write his name.

The old man is 70 years old. She suffered from Alzheimer's disease more than ten years ago. Sometimes she can't take care of herself. She probably forgot what her name is, let alone write her name.

The little girl sighed, resting her chin on both hands, and taught her grandma how to write her own name over and over again.

"Zhiyao, it's time to eat." The little girl's mother called her, "Leave her alone, she's old, living is a burden, what nonsense are you talking to her?"

The little girl dissatisfied: "Mom, don't talk about grandma like that, she used to love me very much."

"Okay, okay, I got it." The woman didn't want to argue with the child, she rolled her eyes at the old man sitting on the threshold, "Come and eat, the food will be cold later."

The little girl ran to eat in the house, and the old man was the only one left at the door.

With a branch in her hand, she was still writing and drawing on the ground, but it was just scribbling.

"As people get older, they tend to be annoying." Chai Jiu said with emotion, "Only children are willing to approach them."

"Do you know what this girl's name is?" Zhao Mingdeng looked at Su Beize with a smile and said, "Su Zhiyao, this family's surname is Su, maybe there is someone named Su Qiuyu in their family."

This little girl is the little girl who went to Zhao Mingdeng's store to buy salt before, and Zhao Mingdeng made a special trip to the small hotel today just to bring them here.

Su Beize said, "Then let's ask."

He searched for so long, but he never thought of using the method of elimination. The whole town is so big. It would be much more convenient to exclude people with the surname not Su first, and then search for the remaining people with the surname Su.

"Hey, Su Qiuyu can't be your relative?" Zhao Mingdeng said suddenly, "Isn't your surname also Su?"

Su Beize was startled, for a moment he didn't know how to answer.He couldn't say that looking for Su Qiuyu was only his mission when he came here, and he could leave if he found someone, right?As for why they are both surnamed Su, that can only be said to be a coincidence.

Ye Yin sized up Su Beize and said, "So you're not a local either? Are you here to join relatives?"

Su Beize said, "Of course not."

Gu Nanyuan said: "He didn't come to join his relatives, but his family."

Su Beize: "..." What defected to the family...

Looking at Su Beize's faintly red ears, Gu Nanyuan was satisfied and felt much happier, and said to Chai Jiu, "Go and ask."

"Okay." Chai Jiu stepped forward, knocked on the open door, and raised his voice, "Excuse me, is Mr. Su at home?"

The little girl's surname is Su, so her father is naturally Mr. Su.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked such a question, Zhao Mingdeng hurriedly pulled him from behind, and said anxiously: "Fuck, the girl is an orphan. I have been dead for a few years. What are you asking?"

Chai Jiu looked a little unnatural, and said in a deep voice, "Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

Just as Zhao Mingdeng was about to say something, the little girl's mother had already walked out of the house.

The expression on her face was definitely not happy, she looked at Chai Jiu and Ye Yin indifferently, then turned her eyes around Su Beize and Gu Nanyuan, and finally fell back on Zhao Mingdeng, and asked coldly: "What's the matter? "

Zhao Mingdeng put out the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his feet, and said embarrassingly: "Mu Rong, they don't know about your family's situation, don't mind. Well, they came here to ask you about someone .”

The woman's name is Su Murong, in her 40s, she doesn't look very young, her skin is loose and yellow, her temperament is cold, and she looks like she rejects people thousands of miles away.The little girl was born to Su Murong and her second husband, who passed away due to illness five years ago.But Su Murong's first husband died earlier, 20 years ago. It is said that he was caught by that kind of thing while running with Xiaosan, and there was no bones left.

The little girl's grandmother was the mother of her first husband, so Su Murong didn't like her very much, and only Su Zhiyao was willing to get close to her.

Su Murong frowned, and said vigilantly, "Who?"

Zhao Mingdeng paused and said, "Su Qiuyu, have you heard of this name?"

Su Murong's face didn't change a single bit of expression, and she didn't respond to the name, she said: "I haven't heard of it, I don't know, you go ask someone else."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Zhao Mingdeng wanted to say something else, but Su Murong had already turned around and returned to the house, and even closed the door, shutting a group of them out.

"This woman is too strange." Ye Yin said, "If you don't know, you don't know. What kind of attitude is this?"

Su Beize was also in a daze. There was no flaw in the woman's reaction, which was unpredictable, and it was difficult for him to determine whether the other party was lying or not.

Chai Jiu said: "Boss, let's go back first, I'll come back later to inquire, I'm sure I can find out something."

"Let's go." Gu Nanyuan said.

"Boss Gu, look at this..." Zhao Mingdeng wondered, "I'm going back first too? It doesn't matter if no one is watching at the commissary, I can't leave for too long."

Gu Nanyuan looked at him with a half-smile and said: "It doesn't matter if you look at that canteen or not, you come back to the small hotel with us, just to tell us about Su Murong."

Zhao Mingdeng said: "But..."

Chai Jiu drew three banknotes and waved them in front of his eyes. Zhao Mingdeng shut up instantly without any hesitation, and his attitude became faster than flipping through a book. hostel."

Su Beize: "..." You unscrupulous mayor.

Back at the small hotel, Gu Lin was sitting at the front desk with a dark face, while Li Ge was standing beside him tremblingly, his face was very nervous and cautious.

As soon as he saw Su Beize and the others coming back, Li Ge immediately breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, and said, "You guys have come back, if you don't come back, my body will be cold."

"Father!" When Gu Lin saw Su Beize and Gu Nanyuan, he laughed immediately, jumped off the chair, ran towards Su Beize, and then threw himself on him, hugging him tightly and not letting go.

Su Beize bent down to hold Gu Lin in his arms, and said with a smile, "Duanzi lost his temper again?"

Just now when they went out and left Gu Lin at home, Gu Lin was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare not listen to Gu Nanyuan's words.Su Beize also found out now that Gu Lin is very obedient in front of him and Gu Nanyuan, but not so in front of others. When he gets angry, even Chai Jiu and Li Ge are afraid of him.

Gu Lin said solemnly: "I didn't lose my temper."

Su Beize pinched his little face, and pressed his forehead against his, making Gu Lin giggle.

Zhao Mingdeng next to him was stunned. Gu Lin knew something about him. He was a taciturn and serious child. Every time he saw him, he rarely saw him smile, let alone act like a child like now. I laughed out loud... Bah, I'm just a child.

But, what is the origin of this Su Beize?

He looked at Gu Nanyuan suspiciously, but Gu Nanyuan just smiled at him, not intending to answer his doubts at all.

"Close the door, we won't do business today." Gu Nanyuan said.

Chai Jiu went over and closed the door of the small hotel, and they sat down around a table. Fruits, melon seeds, and snacks were prepared on the table, so that they could have a long talk.

Zhao Mingdeng was impolite, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, ate them, and went straight to the point with them: "Su Murong is the child bride-in-law of the Su family, so her surname is Su. Her first husband died 20 years ago. At that time, their daughter was still in the mother's womb, and the husband had an affair before she was born. The public said that the husband eloped with Xiaosan, sneaked out of Qiuyu Town, and was caught and eaten by ghosts. Up, it's not like that."

Zhao Mingdeng is a good storyteller, he is very good at capturing other people's curiosity, and to put it bluntly, he is good at playing tricks.Su Beize hugged Gu Lin a little tighter, feeling that something terrible would happen next.

"How about asking Li Ge to take Gu Lin upstairs?" Su Beize said, "Won't children be scared?" Children are generally afraid of ghosts, right?

Hearing what he said, Gu Nanyuan smiled and said: "It's okay, Gu Lin is not too young, so I can take this opportunity to exercise his courage."

Su Beize: "..." Tuanzi is only four years old now, is it really okay to listen to ghost stories?

Li Ge also said with a smile: "Yes, our little boss is very courageous, ghosts, when you see him, you can only..."

In the middle of Li Ge's words, Chai Jiu suddenly stabbed him in the waist with his elbow, the pain made his face flushed, tears were about to come out, and he couldn't continue.

Chai Jiu's hand was so strong that Su Beize felt pain just looking at it.

Chai Jiu didn't pay attention to Li Ge at all, and continued the topic just now: "What is the truth?"

Zhao Mingdeng said with a serious expression: "In fact, he was thrown into the well in the courtyard of Su Murong's house and drowned alive."

Su Beize: "..."
