Like Lin Zhiruo, Hongxiu was born in poverty in Ping'an Village.Compared to Lin Zhiruo who lived a life of poverty but her parents were still alive, Hongxiu, who was a dozen years younger than her, lost her parents not long after she was born, and her elderly grandfather has always worked hard to raise her.

Lin Zhiruo lived close to Hongxiu, and she sympathized with Hongxiu and her father very much, so she took special care of her in the village.In addition to going to their house to help her and her grandfather clean up the vegetable garden every day when she is free, Lin Zhiruo’s family will invite the two of them to eat at home during the holidays, and if there are any extra eggs or meat, they will be given to them. .

So in Hongxiu's eyes, Lin Zhiruo has always been a very kind sister.Later, she accidentally rescued Wang Jie and was taken away by him. Their family received a lot of gift money, but she also kept telling her parents who didn't want to follow her to Nanqiao Town to remember to take care of Hongxiu and her. grandfather.Therefore, even after Lin Zhiruo left, Hongxiu's days in Ping'an Village could be considered food and clothing.

For Lin Zhiruo, Hongxiu has always been very grateful.When she was ten years old, her grandfather passed away due to illness, and Hongxiu happened to be found qualified by a master who passed by Ping'an Village, and she simply followed him in the rivers and lakes, learned martial arts, and was introduced to Feiyue Tower by him. .The red embroidery that is engaged in Feiyue Tower often has to travel around various places in Shuo Country, so whenever she passes by a town close to Nanqiao Town, she will stop by to see Lin Zhiruo and bring gifts back for her. Visiting Lin Zhiruo's elder in Ping'an Village.

The two elderly people said that they were used to the peaceful life in the village and would not leave even if they were beaten to death. It was even more difficult for Lin Zhiruo to see them.And as Hongxiu who can walk around outside, she took over the task of taking care of the two elderly people.

Apart from the time that Osmanthus had met a long time ago, Hongxiu also met Lin Zhiruo several times during this period.Lin Zhiruo lived happily before Fang Wan married in, and after that, just as Zhang Steward said, everything was fine at first.Later, when Hongxiu went to visit Lin Zhiruo again, she found that her relationship with Wang Jie had cracked, and her mental state was not what it used to be.Her eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if she had aged a lot overnight, and she had become more bearish.

The last time Hongxiu saw Lin Zhiruo, she seemed to be at a loss, grabbed her wrist and said, "Xiuer, I think the Wang family is abnormal, Fang Wan is so strange. I have been doing evil these days. Meng, dreaming that the fetus in her womb is an evil ghost, and Ajie has been eaten by him long ago."

"No wonder, recently I always feel that Wang Jie in the mansion is not the one I am familiar with!"

Although Hongxiu thought that it might be because Lin Zhiruo had been hit too hard, causing her to lose her mind, she still asked if she could help pick up Lin Zhiruo, mother and daughter, but Lin Zhiruo gave her a hand. rejected.

"She said that something happened to the Wang family, and as the eldest lady of the mansion, she had to guard. She kept saying that she wanted to get the real Wang Jie back. I couldn't take him away by force, so I had to let her go first. "Hongxiu drove Bai Xingge all the way to the Guanyin Temple on the mountain. In front of the temple stood a statue of Guanyin about ten feet high.

After helping Bai Xingge out of the car, she said with emotion: "If only I could have been tougher at the time and ignored her persistent feelings."

Hongxiu's tone sounds very calm, but if you feel it carefully, you can find the broken softness hidden in her voice.

Bai Xingge listened to her narration quietly, without making a sound.Probably because autumn has ushered in, the cold wind at night is a little bit colder than usual.He pulled the cloak on himself without any trace, regretting that he didn't bring extra clothes before going out tonight.

The relationship between the monks in the temple and Hongxiu seemed to be quite familiar. After seeing her clasping her palms and making a slight salute to them, she led them directly into the side room deep in the temple without asking anything.

It was a square, looking empty room with only a futon on the couch.It wasn't until the monk who led them in moved the mechanism in the room, behind the wall with the scrolls hanging behind the couch, that a secret door was slowly opened.

There is a small space behind the secret door, and there is a bed inside, and lying on the bed is Lin Zhiruo who is still dressed neatly and covered with the spells he drew.There was still no sign of rot on her body, and she didn't even stink, instead there was a faint fragrance.

Hongxiu said: "Wang Yuexi sent two letters, one of which mentioned that she suspected that her mother had been killed, and even felt that everyone in the mansion, including her second mother and biological father, wanted to kill her. So While seeking help from Feiyuelou to return her mother's body, she also hopes to invite some magicians who are good at metaphysics to help investigate the situation of the Wang family."

At this point, a helpless smile appeared on Hongxiu's face: "Even the people in Ping'an Village have personally said that sister Zhiruo died of illness, not to mention that there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to ghosts and gods. Even if there is, if Mr. Xie finds out, Feiyuelou might not even be involved in the matter of escorting the body."

"But sister Zhiruo is a great benefactor to me. We love sisters. Something happened to her, and she may even be killed by others. I definitely want to investigate this matter myself."

Bai Xingge said clearly: "So that's why you sneaked into Wang's house at night?"

Hongxiu clasped her arms around her chest and nodded: "I didn't expect Yuexi to die in the end, but judging from the letter she wrote to me before, I don't believe she would commit suicide easily. Although Mr. Bai helped her later, but I was afraid that if I said this in advance, it would startle the snake, so I thought about collecting evidence first.”

Bai Xingge patted his palm lightly with his fan, rolled his eyes and said, "For things like this, it's faster to ask me than to collect evidence by yourself."

Many people feel that what they do will never be known as long as no one is there to see it.Ever thought that these things will not only be included in the life crimes by heaven and earth, even where they didn't find out, maybe there will be a second and third pair of eyes like Osmanthus looking at them.

Now that Hongxiu mentioned this matter, Bai Xingge stopped by and told the cause of Wang Yuexi's death, which he heard from Osmanthus fragrans.Hongxiu didn't feel hysterical after hearing this, she still looked calm as usual, only her clenched fists betrayed her inner feelings at the moment.

Bai Xingge narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, in my opinion, Fang Wan will not end well in the end. I don't know who was brainwashed to conceive the evil fetus with her own body. Do something so ignorant."

But what Hongxiu mentioned just now, Lin Zhiruo suspected that Wang Jie was no longer him before his death——

Sometimes, the person next to the pillow is indeed the one who can feel the change in the partner's temperament the most.Hongxiu thought it was just Lin Zhiruo's insane nonsense, but Bai Xingge thought it might not be so.

"Since Miss Hongxiu happened to be near that servant when he had an accident, I wonder if she saw the murderer who killed him?"

Hongxiu shook her head and frowned: "No, I only had time to hear a cry and found him dead in the toilet. If someone nearby really tried to escape him, I should be able to detect the breath left by the other party. But it's strange Yes, I didn't feel the presence of other people around me at that time. At that time, I was afraid that his death would alert others and expose my identity, so I fled the mansion in a hurry."

"That's it." Bai Xingge nodded and didn't say anything more, but asked another question, "I read some books on the way to Nanqiao Town, and I want to confirm some things. I don't know if Miss Hongxiu would mind , let me touch Madam's body?"

Hongxiu has always had a good sense of the fair-looking Bai Xingge, so she backed away after listening to it: "Master Bai, please go ahead."

In the past, out of respect, Bai Xingge tried not to touch the corpse if there was no need for it. After all, he was not a coward, and he couldn't see any problems or the cause of death if he looked directly at it.It's just that he was still very puzzled as to why Lin Zhiruo's body was not corroded for such a long time, so he took out several books from the baggage he was carrying to search, and finally let him find something, which probably corresponds to it The preservation of Lin Zhiruo's remains.

Bai Xingge walked to the bed, stared at Lin Zhiruo's body several times, and then found a sewn sachet at her waist.He took off the dark purple sachet, turned to Hongxiu and asked, "Miss Hongxiu, do you have a sharp weapon that can allow me to cut this sachet?"

Hongxiu glanced at him, then reached out to him: "If you don't mind, Mr. Bai, I can do it for you."

Bai Xingge came to his senses, the Jianghu people were very careful in handling things, and it was indeed inconvenient to hand the weapon directly into his hands.

Hongxiu pulled out a short knife from his waist, and cut a hole for him where the sachet was full.It can be seen from the cracked opening that the sachet contains a blue-purple flower, each about the size of a thumbnail, but the petals are folded together as if forming a blue-purple flower in the shape of a phoenix.The flowers in the pouch had been dried in the sun, but Bai Xingge discovered its identity by virtue of its unique shape.

"This is the phoenix flower." Bai Xingge said to Hongxiu, "This kind of flower is not easy to find outside. It is special in that it only blooms on the land irrigated with poison."

Gu is something that is said to be refined from the five poisons, and its effects vary according to the way the refiner intends to use it.Among them, the most commonly heard is what kind of love Gu, He|Huan|Huan Gu, etc., which are used to control emotions.And the methods of casting Gu are even more diverse. He once heard from his master that those masters who are good at using Gu poison can even unknowingly cast Gu on the target without touching the opponent.

Overall, it's a very dangerous thing.

"Gu poison?" Hongxiu was stunned, as if she didn't expect to get such a result.

Bai Xingge asked her: "Do you know which sects in Jianghu are good at using Gu poison?"

"The most famous one is the Five Poisons Sect." Hongxiu replied, "But the Five Poisons Sect has a rule that it will not easily use Gu poison to harm others, unless it is an enemy relationship. Logically speaking, the Wang family should not have any relationship with the Five Poisons." There's nothing involved."

"In addition to the Five Poison Sect, there are also many sects, large and small, that are good at using Gu. Among them, there are good and evil, and there are all kinds of people. If you really want to investigate, it will not be easy. thing."

Bai Xingge continued: "Although the phoenix flower is related to Gu poison, it doesn't necessarily mean that Lin Zhiruo and the Wang family's affairs must be related to Gu poison. I just happened to know from ancient books that this kind of Phoenix flower is caused by poisonous poison. It grows under irrigation, so that within a few feet of its existence, even poisonous snakes dare not approach, let alone those insects that specialize in eating corpses. In addition, it is born mysteriously, and the flower also contains a kind of spiritual power. So there was a saying in the past that as long as you put phoenix flowers on the body, the body will not rot for a long time."

It's just that phoenix flowers are rare, not all Gu masters who are good at using Gu techniques or cultivating Gu insects can raise them.This kind of flower can be said to be priceless, and it is a very rare medicinal material for Gu masters who are good at manipulating Gu insects and refining poisons. Not many people are willing to sell it, just to preserve the corpse.

Bai Xingge felt that the people who put this sachet on Lin Zhiruo's body, even if they did not belong to those sects that are good at using voodoo, definitely have something to do with them.

After confirming the safety of the body with Hongxiu at Guanyin Temple, Bai Xingge went down the mountain with her and returned to the inn in Nanqiao Town.

In the darkness, no one noticed a blue butterfly flapping its wings slightly on the Guanyin statue in front of the temple.

·

Bai Xingge originally thought that he came out quietly this time, hiding it from everyone, and thought that it would be good to go back to his room quietly at that time, but he didn't expect that when they went back, what they saw was the inn being killed by Feiyue Building. The scene of people guarding the circle rigorously.

He could even see people rushing in and out, as if they were looking for something.

When Hongxiu, who was always calm, saw this situation, she felt a little guilty: "Mr. Bai, didn't you leave a note to explain when you went out?"

Bai Xingge's silence was more like an answer.

He is used to walking sideways in the palace, and has always gone his own way. As long as he doesn't leave the palace, no one cares what he does.What's more, he came out this time because he wanted to confirm Hongxiu's affairs without alarming others, so he didn't leave any notes.

Ah Zhu, who was wandering anxiously outside the inn, finally found him who got off the carriage, stared at him, and ran towards him with a mournful face: "My lord, my God, you, where did you go all by yourself in the middle of the night?! "

Everyone's movements stopped when Ah Zhu's call sounded. He also saw Xie Jingshen who came out of the inn slowly after receiving the notification, and stood at the door looking at him from a distance.

However, his complexion can be said to be almost as dark as the color of his clothes.

After a moment of silence, Bai Xingge answered Azhu's question with a smile: "I went out with Miss Hongxiu at night, so naturally I went to chat about romance."

Probably because his expression was too correct when he said this, his tone and attitude were very serious, so people really felt that he just went to talk about the stars and the moon with the serious red embroidery, and he just came back after talking.

A Zhu who heard his words was full of panic. Bai Xingge was afraid that he would be worried, so he called out Ying Yi and Ying Liu: "Did you forget that they are following me? Indicates that they are not there."

Yingyi and Yingliu are also the reasons why Bai Xingge dared to go so boldly to meet Hongxiu alone.He doesn't communicate much with the two of them on weekdays, but he knows that most of the time, especially at night when they are particularly vulnerable to surprise attacks, they will stay near him.

"The young master, if you want to go out next time, please tell me." Azhu said aggrievedly, looking as if he had been abandoned by someone.

Bai Xingge's heart softened suddenly, and he also felt a little guilty: "Okay, I will definitely bring you with me next time."

Indeed, although he can ensure that he will not easily get into trouble, but from A Zhu's point of view, he doesn't know anything, and he must be very worried about his safety.

A Zhu and the others would find out that he was not in the room ahead of time, which happened to be because of Xiao Wei.I really like Bai Xingge, but due to Xie Jingshen's previous surveillance, Xiaowei, who has never had the chance to get in touch with him, wanted to take advantage of the dead of night to find him to accompany him to tell stories, but because he couldn't be called no matter how much he shouted. , and finally he ran to Azhu crying, and told him that Bai Xingge didn't respond no matter how he called, and finally found that he was not in the inn.

Bai Xingge glanced at Xiao Wei who was hiding behind Ah Zhu shyly and guiltily, and asked after thinking for a while, "That's why you like me so much?"

Xiao Wei nodded shyly: "I like it."

Bai Xingge smiled softly, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and only said: "Actually, I may not be as good as you imagined."

Not too close, not too distant.

This is his consistent attitude towards others, and it has been like this since he was a child.Even if he saw such a cute child liking him, he would not feel the same joy for him.

Sometimes he also wonders if he has cultivated too much with a pure heart and few desires, and he has cultivated himself into a heartless guy.

Otherwise, why did everyone envy Ji Junyan's favor, but he didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, and even wanted to escape?

Perhaps, he will never try hard to like someone in his life.

Because he doesn't know what it feels like.

After comforting Azhu, Bai Xingge looked at Xie Jingshen who was still in the distance and stared at him coldly.Judging from the expression on his face, it is not difficult for Bai Xingge to guess that he made a lot of assumptions when he left.

He guessed that the most common among them was that he was indeed a liar from the palace, successfully stole some information from the people from Feiyuelou, and fled to send news to the palace.

Xie Jingshen's many suspicions indeed included this, because it was a coincidence that he had just learned not long ago that several of the pigeons that delivered the news at Feiyuelou were found dead in the end because they had not delivered the news for a long time. on the way.

Even Ying, who was about to help him pass some more confidential news back to Feiyue Tower, was attacked not long after he set off from him, and turned back to him after being wounded.

Fortunately, there is no serious problem.

Not to mention Xie Jingshen, almost all the people in Feiyuelou thought a lot when Bai Xingge quietly disappeared.

When Bai Xingge walked in front of him, Xie Jingshen reminded: "Before you arrive at Zhaixing Pavilion, don't forget that you are still detained by me."

"I can change my mind at any time, and I will not let you go to the Xingxing Pavilion, but continue to hold you in my hand to threaten the palace."

Bai Xingge tried his best to look calm: "I didn't go out alone. With people from Feiyuelou watching over you, I can't run away for now."

Before leaving, Bai Xingge took another thoughtful look at Xie Jing, and then said inexplicably: "Also, I advise you not to be so hostile all the time. When you are pulled into the gate of hell, don't blame me for not saving you." you."

The man surnamed Xie didn't know what he did again, the dead air that had been slightly better a few days ago surged up again today, and a few curses would not be enough for him to suppress it.

The conversation between Bai Xingge and Xie Jingshen did not avoid the people around them, so they asked the guards of Feiyue Tower to listen in.The few of them were calm on the surface, but when their eyes met, they all found the turbulent waves in each other's hearts.

Mr. Bai really deserves to be a master of the state, how many people dare to talk to their landlord like that?After saying this, Bai Xingge is the No. 1 one who can still enter the inn intact.

They were communicating in astonishment with their eyes, when suddenly there was a loud sound of flower pots shattering behind them, causing them to turn around and look.

Xie Jingshen was standing at the entrance of the inn, looking down at her feet slightly.And where his eyes fell, at a distance of about a finger's length from him, there lay a flower pot that fell from the sky.Falling to the ground like this, the basin was smashed to pieces.

The waiter in the inn hurriedly ran downstairs and kept apologizing deeply to Xie Jing: "I'm sorry! I was just cleaning up the room where the guests left, and the basin by the window suddenly fell down for no reason..."

Seeing this scene and hearing the words Bai Xingge left for Xie Jingshen, the guards suddenly felt a chill behind them.

And with the cold wind all over his body, Bai Xingge, who felt really cool, couldn't help asking Azhu to add an extra quilt for himself.

Two days later, the Wang family sent someone to report that Wang Jie, who was away on errands, had returned.

The author has something to say: Although Xie Jing's words are often broken by Xie Jing's words every day, but I thought about it, and according to the actual situation, I think...
