Mr. Kezaku

He only knew the location, which was told by Zhao Xingduan, but he hadn't been there yet, so he didn't know how to get there.

The three went around, and finally found a small yard at noon.It looks chic, but it's a bit dated, so it's no surprise that it needs a refurbishment.

Geng Zhi said, "Lord Chu, this place is a bit far from the city, and it's too inconvenient to live here."

Chu Yuyang didn't care, after all, he usually lives with Zhao Xingduan, and buying a house is just to attract people's attention.And the environment here is good, and it sounds good to bring Duan'er here to play here occasionally.

Chu Yuyang said: "Let's go in. I don't know what it looks like inside."

There was a guard outside the house, and he recognized Chu Yuyang when he saw him, and said: "Just say that someone will come to see the house today, I have been waiting here, but I can't wait, I thought it was not coming."

The man led them in, and then withdrew to look at it, letting them take a look at it for themselves. Anyway, this place already belonged to Chu Yuyang, but usually there was no one there, so he wanted to watch it here.

Three people walked in, the yard wasn't very big, but at least it had a scale of three in and three out, and it had a small garden, which was not bad.

Geng Zhi said, "This is impressive. It turns out that I also bought a house like this in the outskirts of the city."

The house has obviously been unoccupied for a long time, weeds have grown in some corners, the bluestone boards also need to be renovated, the doors and floors need to be rearranged.

There is furniture in the room, but none of them are new. They have been wiped clean, but they look tidy.

The three of them walked a long way, and walked around for a whole morning. They were very tired, so they entered the front hall to sit down and rest.

Everyone drank a sip of water, took a few breaths, and felt relieved.

Jiang Liuwu said: "Brother Chu chose this place is really nice, very quiet."

He squinted his eyes and looked out from the door of the hall, and said that the road over there was uneven, and there should be a step in front of the house, otherwise he might not be able to see clearly when he fell at night.

Chu Yuyang and Geng Zhi took a look at the place he pointed, and there was a clump of weeds growing in front of the next house, blocking part of it.The house was indeed bulged because of the uneven ground, making the threshold a bit high.

Geng Zhi said with a smile: "Your eyesight is not good, don't you see that there are steps under the weeds?"

"Yes?" Jiang Liuwu asked strangely.

Geng Zhi said, "Yes."

Chu Yuyang was sitting drinking tea, and saw Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu coming out of the hall door, and ran over to see if there were any steps under the weeds.

Geng Zhi pushed the weeds away, and sure enough, he saw a section of steps made of bluestone slabs hidden underneath, because the grass was far away in front of him, so Jiang Liuwu didn't see it at all.

Geng Zhi said: "Look, the original owner's house has already been paved, and it is more thoughtful than you think."

Chu Yuyang also rested, and they ran to the back to look at the garden again.

The three of them made a big circle before walking over, Jiang Liuwu said, "We should open a small door behind this house, so as not to have to make a big circle every time we go to the garden."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them happened to go around and looked back. There was indeed a small door on the wall behind the house, but it had not been used for many years and was covered with dust. None of them noticed.

Looking at the small door, Geng Zhi was a little puzzled, and said, "You don't have the ability to make your wishes come true, do you? If you want steps, you have a step, and if you want a small door, you have a small door?"

Jiang Liuwu was taken aback when he saw the small door, and couldn't help reaching out to touch it twice, saying, "It feels so strange..."

Jiang Liuwu couldn't tell what it was like.

Chu Yuyang suddenly said, "You didn't live here before, did you?"

Jiang Liuwu said: "I have been in Beijing for a year, and I have never lived in the capital before."

Jiang Liuwu felt that this place was a little familiar, but felt very strange, so he couldn't tell what was going on.But it is indeed as Geng Zhi said, it is almost as if all wishes come true.He thought what a place should be like, only to find that it was already like that.

The last three people went to visit the study room. The study room is very large, divided into inner and outer rooms.

Geng Zhi glanced at the empty study room, and asked Jiang Liuwu, "This time, how do you think we should clean it up?"

Jiang Liuwu was stunned for a while, then murmured: "If... hang a lotus picture..."

Jiang Liuwu stopped talking after halfway, and suddenly walked in, and walked around into the inner room of the study.

Chu Yuyang and Geng Zhi saw that his expression was not right, so they quickly followed him.As soon as they entered the room, they immediately saw the pictures hanging on the wall.

A picture of a lotus flower.

There is not much furniture in the study room, and the books on the bookshelves are all empty, so it looks empty. The lotus flower picture on the wall is a bit conspicuous. I'm afraid I forgot to take it off, so it just hung there.

The lotus painting has been hanging here for a long time, and the ink color is not bright anymore, and it is full of floating soil.

Jiang Liuwu looked at this picture of lotus in shock. If the previous steps and small doors were all coincidences, then what about this picture of lotus?When they meet again and again by coincidence, it can no longer be called a coincidence.

Jiang Liuwu's eyes widened, as if he had difficulty breathing, his face turned pale, and then turned into dead gray, his body was crumbling.

Chu Yuyang and Geng Zhi rushed over to support him, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Liuwu was breathing very quickly, and looked extremely difficult, his eyes were almost closed, as if he had passed out, but obviously he didn't pass out.

Jiang Liuwu's lips opened and closed, muttering: "She, she's going to be strangled to death...I'm not lying, I saw it with my own eyes, and I heard that person talking, why is the body gone?"

Chu Yuyang quickly patted Jiang Liuwu's face, but the next moment Jiang Liuwu tilted his head and passed out.

Geng Zhi picked him up and ran to the bed.

Chu Yuyang said: "Let him sleep first."

Geng Zhi was a little worried, and said, "Is he too tired?"

Chu Yuyang said strangely: "Jiang Liuwu, has he never lived in the capital before? Why do I feel that Jiang Liuwu has lived in this place before? It's obviously not a coincidence that there is a picture of a lotus flower on the small door with steps." , but said it subconsciously from memory.”

Geng Zhi also found it strange, and said, "I don't know either. He did come here a year ago, but he didn't know about it before. We need to find out about it."

Chu Yuyang nodded, and decided to ask Zhao Xingduan to inquire about Jiang Liuwu after going back.

Jiang Liuwu didn't wake up after falling asleep, and slept for more than an hour.Chu Yuyang looked worried and asked Geng Zhi to find a doctor.

The doctor read it and said that there was nothing wrong, but that he was overthinking, and gave Jiang Liuwu a prescription to soothe his nerves.

Geng Zhi went to decoct Jiang Liuwu, and Chu Yuyang guarded Jiang Liuwu, afraid that something would happen suddenly when he woke up.

Chu Yuyang felt a little drowsy after guarding, and suddenly heard a "wow", Jiang Liuwu, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and sleeping peacefully, suddenly sat up.

Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Jiang Liuwu glanced at Chu Yuyang, then remembered where he was, slowly shook his head, and said, "No, I'm fine, I'm really sorry just now."

Chu Yuyang waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Geng Zhi is decocting medicine for you, you can lie down for a while."

Jiang Liuwu shook his head and said, "I still have something to do, I want to go first."

"Ah?" Chu Yuyang said, "Is your body okay? Your face is still very pale."

"There is something important, don't worry about me." Jiang Liuwu said.

Chu Yuyang couldn't stop him, Jiang Liuwu just ran away.Chu Yuyang hurried to find Geng Zhi and told him that Jiang Liuwu had left.

Geng Zhi was so angry that he was half dead, and said, "Why is this person like this?"

The medicine was still boiling, but the patients all ran away, and Geng Zhi couldn't drink it by himself, so he didn't boil it at all.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Yuyang and Geng Zhi were going back to the city, otherwise they would not be able to enter the city gate after dark.

Chu Yuyang and Geng Zhi left the house, and then walked all the way back.

Geng Zhi was still complaining, saying, "Jiang Liuwu, what's the matter? He's running so fast..."

Geng Zhi was halfway through speaking, when suddenly his mouth grew too big, he pointed to the front, and said, "Is that Jiang Liuwu?"

Chu Yuyang looked at it with her head, and her mouth grew too big.

It turned out that Jiang Liuwu ran away first, but he didn't go very far, and he didn't know where to get a shovel, so he dug in a corner.The sky was gray and dark, and he was digging alone, looking a little scary.

Chu Yuyang ran over and said, "Jiang Liuwu, what are you doing?"

Jiang Liuwu was taken aback by him, he didn't expect them to come over and said, "Nothing."

Geng Zhi took a look and said with a dark face, "Are you looking for that corpse again?"

Jiang Liuwu pursed his lips and said nothing, but it was obvious that Geng Zhi had guessed correctly.

Geng Zhi suddenly snatched the shovel from Jiang Liuwu's hand, Jiang Liuwu wanted to snatch it back, but obviously there was a huge difference in strength, he thought Geng Zhi would throw away his shovel, but after taking it over, Geng Zhi stopped to help him dig hard, Neither speak.

Jiang Liu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I'll just do it myself."

Geng Zhi said in a nasty voice, "With your slender arms and legs, and your short stature, what strength do you have?"

Chu Yuyang: "..."

Suddenly her knee hurt so much, Chu Yuyang felt that she was so innocent, how could she be implicated.

Geng Zhi was digging, while Chu Yuyang and Jiang Liuwu stood and watched, and when Chu Yuyang was tired from standing, he squatted down to watch.

Geng Zhi dug a deep hole, sweating all over in winter, and said, "Is it here? It's already this deep."

Jiang Liuwu said, "I don't know..."

"All right, all right." Geng Zhi said, "I'll dig a little deeper and have a look."

Chu Yuyang realized that gradually, the sky was getting too dark, and she couldn't see how deep the pit was.I'm afraid the gates of the city are closed now, so they won't be able to enter the city.Fortunately, that house is not far away, so you can go back and stay for one night.

Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, Zhao Xingduan reckoned that she would not be able to leave the palace, Chu Yuyang didn't have the motivation to go back when she thought about it, so she just followed Jiang Liuwu and Geng Zhi to continue digging.

It was too dark, Jiang Liuwu went to get a lantern, Chu Yuyang carried the lantern, Jiang Liuwu commanded, and Geng Zhi dug a pit.

Geng Zhi moved quickly and had good physical strength. He finished several holes in a short time, and almost dug the surrounding area into a honeycomb.Looking at it from a distance, the piles of dug up soil feel like grave mounds, quite scary.

Chu Yuyang asked: "Have you got it?"

Geng Zhi was so tired that he said: "There is nothing but soil."

Chu Yuyang held her chin and said, "Then you dig a few more times."

Jiang Liuwu took a look at Geng Zhi and said, "Let's dig a little more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuyang suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder.

This frightened Chu Yuyang half to death. In the middle of the night in the wilderness, Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu were in front of him, but someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Chu Yuyang's legs were so frightened that she couldn't even scream, and almost fell to the ground.

The outstretched hand immediately hugged him to prevent him from falling into the pit behind him.

"doing what?"

Chu Yuyang turned around abruptly, and realized that it wasn't a ghost, it was Zhao Xingduan who patted him on the shoulder.

But when Chu Yuyang thought about it carefully, it was no different from seeing a ghost. Shouldn't his family be in the palace?

Zhao Xingduan put his arms around him, patted his face twice, and said, "Are you frozen?"

"Duan'er? Why are you here?" Chu Yuyang asked in surprise.

Zhao Xingduan said with a dark face: "Of course I'm looking for you."

"Aren't you in the palace?" Chu Yuyang asked.

Zhao Xingduan said: "It's so late, the birthday banquet is over long ago, the queen mother is old and can't stand the toss, so I naturally came out of the palace."

After the birthday banquet was over, Zhao Xingduan went out of the palace to go back and forth to the palace, but he heard that Chu Yuyang did not return at night.He immediately went out to look for someone, and he couldn't find anyone in Dali Temple, thinking of taking out his house in the suburbs, he went out of the city to look for him.Unexpectedly, before he reached the house, he saw Chu Yuyang squatting on the ground on the way, and he didn't know what he was doing.

How could Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu not know Prince Duan, and they were extremely surprised to meet Prince Duan here.

Geng Zhi stuck the shovel into the hole, and wanted to climb out to greet Prince Duan, but he heard a "ding", a crisp sound.

Chu Yuyang asked strangely: "What's inside?"

Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "It sounds like the jade is broken."

Jiang Liuwu was startled, and said, "Don't stop, Geng Zhi will continue digging."

Geng Zhi hurriedly took the shovel and dug a few more times, and sure enough, he saw something green in the soil. When he dug it out, it was a broken jade bracelet.

Jiang Liuwu looked at the jade bracelet in shock, and said: "Yes, it is this person, it is her. I remember this jade bracelet, it is her. What I see is her!"

Jiang Liuwu was obviously very excited, Geng Zhi felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect that Jiang Liuwu was not talking nonsense, it turned out that what he saw was true.

"Dig, dig, dig!" Chu Yuyang immediately became excited, pointing to the pit and said, "There is still something in the ground."

As soon as the lantern was illuminated, there was still something in the soil, but it looked a little strange, it was a white thing.

Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "What is it?"

Chu Yuyang rubbed her chin and said, "It looks like a finger bone."

As soon as he said that, both Geng Zhi and Jiang Liuwu gasped.Geng Zhi hurriedly continued digging down, and finally found the other half of the broken jade bracelet, as well as the finger bones that Chu Yuyang said.And it wasn't just the finger bones, a corpse was slowly dug up.

Geng Zhi dug out the corpse. The corpse had a bracelet on its left wrist. It seemed to be a woman.Jiang Liuwu said that he knew the jade bracelet, which proved that this woman was the one he saw being strangled to death.

only……

Chu Yuyang looked at the corpse, blinked, and said, "Oh, this is so strange."

Jiang Liuwu looked confused, as if he couldn't believe it, staring at the corpse, unable to say a word.

Geng Zhi was also dumbfounded, and said, "Jiang Liuwu, are you sure it's this? Why are they all turned into bones? This, this is a bit fast."

The body they dug up was the bones of a woman, who had been dead for a long time.

And the first time Jiang Liuwu said that he saw someone was killed with his own eyes was less than half a year ago.

Chu Yuyang is now more sure of his thoughts, and said: "He said that what he saw may not be what he saw that day, but his memory. He once saw someone get killed. But for some reason, he Lost part of his memory again, so even he himself can't figure out what's going on."

Zhao Xingduan suddenly said, "There are still things."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone noticed that there was something in the pit, which looked like a jade bracelet.

Geng Zhi jumped down and carefully dug out the jade bracelet, but did not break it this time.But he was stunned when he dug out one, there were more than one below, a total of six were dug out one after another, plus the jade bracelet on the wrist of Bai Gu, there were seven jade bracelets in total.This is really jaw-dropping.

Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "There are seven jade bracelets around the corpse? What does this mean?"
