stay together

Late autumn is gradually passing, and the cold wind in the mountains and fields of Shuofang is blowing all the way to the south with the meaning of rolling rime.In the days when there is no warm sun shining, everything in Lai'an seems to be covered with an invisible layer of frost.

The young servant of the Cao family dozed off leaning against the low wall, shivering suddenly from the wind.

He pulled his sleeves and wiped his face indiscriminately, trying to blow back the snot that just leaked out.This inhalation is incredible, besides the cold wind, there is actually...a slight...burnt smell? ? !

what happened? !He barely struggled out of his drowsiness, half-opened his eyes, and the raging flames stung his eyes.

The boy thought he was dreaming, so he rubbed his eyes again, opened his eyes carefully, and looked again. On the edge of the low wall on the other side of the young master’s yard, the lush and lush Xiangfei bamboo was set on fire by something. The bamboo pole and bamboo leaves were burned. It was crackling, and it was falling down with rustling——

"Go water-"

The boy yelled in fright, and soon someone brought a bucket of water to extinguish the burning bamboo.Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the outer wall of the house was only blackened and not affected.But it was enough to scare the Cao family up and down.

The servants standing in the yard were all talking: This is not the first time that the water has been leaked for no reason!

"Ma'am, why hasn't the invited person arrived yet? What can I do if the fire continues like this..."

"Shut up." The lady's eyes were slightly annoyed, and she glanced at the servants who chewed their tongues below, "Of course the master has his plans, don't speculate for no reason! Uncle Li, you give me a good discipline, if you let the master Hearing a little of those pretentious things, even you and he will not spare you."

"Ah chirp-"

Yun Qingyu felt his nose itchy, and couldn't help but sneezed loudly against the cold wind.

Today's weather is really bad, cloudy and rainy.After the rain, Lai'an is really terribly cold.

The damp coldness is like needles, piercing through the skin into the bones little by little, even worse than the winter in Nanhuaidu.

Fusu found a place for them to stay, and it was Yi Youge's support in Lai'an.Yun Hexing saw that Yun Qingyu looked like he was wind-cold, so he hurriedly asked him to find some warm clothes.

As a response, Xu Yan specially cooked a large bowl of ginger soup, and Yun Hexing insisted on pouring it down for Yun Qingyu, and told him to rest obediently at Yiyou Pavilion today.

Yiyouge was entrusted by the Cao Mansion to investigate the fire.Yunhe Xing insisted on following Fusu, which is euphemistically called "seeing the world".

Fusu couldn't hold him back, so he had no choice but to take this large animal with him.

Cao Guiqing finally expected the people from Youyi Pavilion to come over, and quickly asked his servants to invite Fusu and the two into the mansion, and told Fusu about the situation in the mansion in the past few days.

Fusu was not very interested in the set of Xu and Wei Snake, but after hearing a general idea, he asked Cao Guiqing to take them to the burning place to have a look.

The nearest fire point is a row of Xiangfei bamboos in Master Cao's courtyard.

Fusu walked along the row of bamboos, inspecting the traces of running water one by one, knelt down and twirled a bunch of plant ash, rubbing it finely on the pads of his fingers.

Seeing him lost in thought, Yun Hexing also squatted down and put his head together, and said in a volume that the two of them could hear: "I didn't say that, the sky is dry and things are dry, and it is not necessarily a rare thing that this bamboo catches fire...Look... Is something going on?"

"No."

Yun Hexing glanced at the surrounding Cao family, worried that Fusu would be looked down upon by them, and asked anxiously, "Could it be some kind of formation?"

"There is no spiritual power left." Fusu told the truth, he saw Yunhexing like ants on a hot pot, and said: "But something abnormal must have happened. You can also ask them about it, Don't mind me."

Yun Hexing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Fusu, a piece of wood, to be able to detect the impulse in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

He nodded, stood up without hesitation, and asked Cao Guiqing: "Master Cao just said that in the past few months, the Cao Mansion has always caught fire for no reason. I don't know where the other fires are except for the young master's place." Woolen cloth?"

Cao Guiqing opened his mouth and wanted to say all the things that bothered him just now, but Yunhexing interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "We have heard about those things, sir, you only need to tell me where the fire started."

Being robbed by him, Cao Guiqing said embarrassingly: "Actually, it's not too much, and it's not too much. Before that, there was only one calligraphy and painting hanging in my room. Fortunately, I was there that time, so I didn't burn the whole study. ; the mosquito nets and window screens in the house had been covered; the plaque on the side of the moon gate had been caught on fire, and it was burnt and fell down before being discovered; one night more than half of the autumn lotuses in the pond in the mansion were burned."

"When the calligraphy, paintings and window screens caught fire, was there anyone else present besides you, my lord?"

"The calligraphy and paintings were gone that time, but we really don't know about the window screens."

After hearing this, Yun and Qi looked at each other, and they knew the answer in their hearts.At first, I thought it might be caused by dryness, but except for the piece of Xiangfei bamboo in front of me, the other fire objects do not seem to be spontaneously ignited.

"May I ask Mr. Cao to take us to see the lotus you mentioned just now?" Fusu patted off the ashes in his hands and stood up.

Now that Cao Guiqing encountered such a strange thing, he really had nowhere to ask for help. Right now, there are only these two young people who can rely on him, so how could he say no.He immediately took the two of them to the lotus pond.

This time, everyone had something on their minds, so they walked quickly, and they walked for half an hour.The Yun family is also not small, but Yun Hexing was led to turn left and right in this Cao mansion, and he still couldn't help sighing: This Cao family is really big!

Cao Guiqing invited the two of them to the Moon-Watching Pavilion, where they could see the half pond of lotus on the opposite side of the pond.

Yunhe Xing looked at the moon-watching pavilion up and down, and felt that the Cao family would enjoy it. If it were placed in midsummer, the garden would be full of lotus fragrance, and the full moon would be reflected on the surface of the other half of the pool. Shadow into three people"? !

He just clicked his tongue in amazement, but Fusu's eyes were fixed on the scorched black lotus.

The dead branches licked by the flame still gave off a faint burnt smell, but Fusu still keenly smelled the faint smell of barbecued meat.

He glanced left and right, and seeing that no one else raised any objections, he couldn't help frowning.

His petty movements could not escape Yun Hexing's eyes, Yun Hexing saw his expression changed, and immediately approached him calmly: "What did you find?"

"I smell burnt meat."

Yun Hexing immediately turned his head and asked loudly: "Master Cao, what kind of animals do you keep in this pond?"

Cao Guiqing was taken aback by his question, then shook his head and said, "Only carp."

This is obviously not the answer that Fusu wanted, Yun Hexing glanced at him, and didn't want to get involved in so many circles anymore, so he asked straight to the point: "With all due respect, I don't know who has your family ever had a grudge against?"

The question of Yunhexing was like a thunderbolt on the ground. When it was thrown out, everyone in the Cao family turned pale.

Some people were dumbfounded, some kept their mouths shut, and some whispered to each other with erratic eyes.

But Cao Guiqing remained calm in this matter, his eyes changed slightly, and he glanced around at the people behind him who had their own ulterior motives, and they all lowered their heads in silence.

When the discussion disappeared, he said to Yun Hexing solemnly: "Why did Mr. Yun say that?"

Yun Hexing and Fu Su exchanged a look, and they were confident: "Since Mr. Cao has told us so many things about the trouble, and he asked Youyi Pavilion for help, Mr. Cao must have an answer in his heart."

"There are not many demon spirits in the Cao Mansion, so it's nothing to worry about. I took a rough look with this Master Qi. They shouldn't be the cause of the fire. It's more likely that someone deliberately set up an array to catch the fire."

Hearing that it was man-made, Cao Guiqing's face darkened even more.

But he still denied it: "Our Cao family has always acted openly and aboveboard, and never took the initiative to make enemies with others." Although he said so, several servants behind him had different expressions.

Seeing that Cao Guiqing was very tight-lipped, Yunhexing couldn't ask why, knowing that it would be useless to stay in Cao's mansion any longer, so he could only tell Cao Guiqing that he needed to go back and do some research.

Cao Guiqing was asked about the feud just now, and he was upset for a moment, and he didn't want to keep two more people, and asked them to send the two out of the house.

He was originally a guest of the Cao family master, but he was kicked out immediately. Seeing Cao Guiqing's posture, Yun Hexing couldn't help but slander him secretly.

On the contrary, Uncle Li had a kind face and personally sent the two young people out.Yunhexing's attitude towards Cao Guiqing was not very friendly, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of Cao's house, he immediately complained a few words.

"Obviously he was being targeted, but he still doesn't want to tell us. I don't think Mr. Cao really wants to find out who set up the formation to kill him."

After hearing this, Fusu glanced at Uncle Li who stayed where he was respectfully, and nodded in agreement.

Yun Hexing also paid attention to Uncle Li's face, and said nonsense: "But the people who set up the formation are quite popular. I think he wants to burn the entire Cao Mansion."

Uncle Li lowered his eyes the whole time, as if he didn't care, he sent the two young masters out without saying a word.

"Aren't you going?"

The two passed a street corner when Yunhexing stopped suddenly.

Hearing Fusu's question, Yunhexing made a silent gesture towards him, pulled him to him, and squeezed into the crowd.

Fusu froze for a moment, although she didn't know why he did it, she still let him move without moving.

The coolness of October was defeated by Yun Hexing's body temperature, and the breath of the other world was cut off by the other party's spiritual energy. For a moment, his displaced soul was stabilized.

Fusu took a deep breath and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Hide for a while, someone is following us." Yun Hexing said next to his ear, the skin behind his ear trembled from the heat.

But Fusu didn't dodge, and still lowered his eyes and asked him: "A member of the Cao family?"

"It doesn't look like it, but the figure looks familiar."

After confirming that the other party was going to the other side, Yun Hexing let go of Fusu's hand.

But he still leaned into the other's ear and said: "But the people from the Cao family just took advantage of the chaos and stuffed me with something." He spread his hands to Fusu, and there was a small roll of silk lying inside.
