chills

The next day, Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan came to Taihu Lake again as promised. The fog today was much lighter than usual.Lu Huaiyuan's brows were not at ease - after he went back yesterday, he wanted to discuss with Shen Huaiyu what should be used to make a soul puppet for Shen Lin, after all, even if it was just pretending, Granny Dongzhu couldn't see the flaws.He originally thought that they didn't have such things at hand and had to think of another way, but Shen Huaiyu calmly took out the jade pendant that Shen Lin used to wear every day from the bag.

Lu Huaiyuan simply doubted what Shen Huaiyu was here for!Why did he carry Shen Lin's relic with him?

Shen Huaiyu fiddled with the clear Taihu Lake water a few times, raised his head and found that Lu Huaiyuan was bored alone there, probably knew what was going on, so he splashed some water on him with his hand: "Okay! This is called being prepared."

Lu Huaiyuan crossed his arms, and his voice sounded a little muffled: "It's one thing to tell her yesterday, but another thing exactly, you know."

The dead cannot be resurrected, this is what they have heard since childhood.The souls forcibly recalled by various spells must endure all kinds of pain and suffering, and for those who recall them, it is another kind of torture.Because of this, those spells were classified as crooked ways. The words Shen Huaiyu touched Granny Dongzhu yesterday were sincere, plus Shen Huaiyu was not a well-behaved person, Lu Huaiyuan was a little anxious.

"Of course I know." Shen Huaiyu said softly, "Didn't I say that if one day you die, I will die with you. Even you and I didn't think of any way to resurrect you. You don't think there is anything else Other people are more important to me than you... Master is gone, do you like this?"

Lu Huaiyuan rubbed his arms and drove the boat as usual. Shen Huaiyu's words just now were too straightforward, which made him a little sensitive: "Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing dead or not."

Shen Huaiyu showed a faint smile: "Keep down."

They are still on the Taihu Lake, this is Grandma Dongzhu's territory, so she might not be able to listen to anything she says.

Lu Huaiyuan's expression changed, and he leaned into his ear and said, "Okay... I won't mention these messy things in the future, and you shouldn't mention them either."

The two of them always go around like this, thinking that they should take more responsibility, but in the end it seems that no one can trust anyone, especially Lu Huaiyuan, who has a strong desire to control, always thinking that his senior brother must know clearly, but Shen Huaiyu is not a baby under his protection, what is needed is not these.

It's time for him to learn to let go.

Shen Huaiyu nodded to him with a smile.

The boat was drifting aimlessly on the water, after a while, Lu Huaiyuan saw the old boat with red lanterns on it again, so he rowed there.After the two boats collided, they were tied up with ropes as before, and then boarded Grandma Dongzhu's boat.

Granny Dongzhu did not stand at the bow of the boat to welcome them like yesterday, but was sitting behind her small table in the dark cabin, her hands were constantly sculpting.Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan boarded the boat, the boat was a little deep in the water, and swayed slightly, Grandma Dongzhu didn't lift her head, and said: "Put the things on the table."

Shen Huaiyu took out the jade pendant from his bosom, took two steps forward, placed it squarely on the small table, and then backed away.Granny Dongzhu didn't seem to see him put the things down, she was still engrossed in the little puppet in her hand.

Lu Huaiyuan waited for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Senior, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

The atmosphere is too tense, and poking like this will not help the progress of the matter. It is better to go back and discuss with Shen Huaiyu.

Granny Dongzhu finally pulled her gaze away from the puppet, she glanced at Lu Huaiyuan, and said, "Impotent, young man, be patient when asking for help."

A reprimand made Lu Huaiyuan speechless. He hadn't been reprimanded like this for many years.

"If you're really tired of waiting, just sit and sit in this boat," Granny Dongzhu added, "It won't take too long. In the middle of this period, don't bother me any more."

After she finished speaking, she concentrated on carving again.Lu Huaiyuan let out a long breath, and pulled Shen Huaiyu out of the cabin: "Now is the time."

We must do our best to find Xue Moci out of this boat.

Shen Huaiyu glanced at the cabin and said in a low voice, "She's okay."

"According to this level of concentration, it should be fine," Lu Huaiyuan said in a low voice, "...Just in case, brother, go to the cabin and stabilize her, and I'll take a look outside."

"Okay." Shen Huaiyu nodded without hesitation, and the two quickly split into two groups.

Shen Huaiyu returned to the cabin, and saw that Granny Dongzhu was still carving, she was not distracted, so she breathed a sigh of relief.The entire cabin is full of various daily necessities, even Granny Dongzhu, who is used to tidying herself up, seems unable to tidy up this small cabin.Shen Huaiyu pretended to be interested in the little wooden figure that Granny Dongzhu put on the shelf, and slipped past the narrow bed and cabinet from the corner of her eye, wondering whether Xue Moci's figure could be hidden inside.

It's not absolutely impossible... They have been on this old ship twice, because they were afraid that Grandma Dongzhu would find out their real purpose, so they didn't dare to look around the cabin in a big way.Xue Moci might be hiding in that cabinet, after all, she is just a woman, not very big.

There are many bottles and cans on the cabinet, and there is a bronze mirror. Next to those is the comb with a black hair that Lu Huaiyuan saw yesterday. Looking at it now, the comb has been cleaned up.Shen Huaiyu looked away calmly, not knowing whether Granny Dongzhu discovered this loophole, or simply knocked off the hair while using the comb.

The whole boat shook slightly suddenly, it should be Lu Huaiyuan's movement outside.Shen Huaiyu glanced at Granny Dongzhu, and found that she seemed to be unaware and continued to carve.

"It's good if I didn't find out." Shen Huaiyu said in his heart, "I don't know what's going on with Huaiyuan."

Granny Dongzhu stopped what she was doing, put down the carving knife, and blew on the little wooden figurine lightly. After blowing, she collected the sawdust with her hands, and carefully put the sawdust into a small box.

"Bam—"

Suddenly there was a loud noise on the surface of the water, and the entire boat tilted to one side due to the huge impact force, and all kinds of sundries in the boat fell to the ground with a crackling sound.When the boat was tilted to the limit, it fell to the other side. Granny Dongzhu had been prepared and grabbed the handle inside the cabin.Just as Shen Huaiyu stabilized her figure, she almost immediately realized what happened——Lu Huaiyuan!Something happened to Lu Huaiyuan outside!

Surprised and angry, he looked up at Granny Dongzhu, and found that the old woman was still sitting firmly behind the small table, her figure swaying slightly with the sway of the boat.She stared at him blankly.She didn't seem to care about those fallen sundries at all, and said coldly: "It deserves it."

These two children are still trying to plot against her!
