[White Snake] Manjin Mountain

On the day Suzhen left Qiantang County, several housewives secretly set off whips at home.

Although the neighbors in the neighborhood said that they came out to give her a lot, the faint sense of universal celebration on their faces was clearly revealed.

Bai Niangniang still has an indifferent attitude towards this. There are so many emperors throughout the ages, no matter how outstanding they are, they will inevitably be criticized by others, let alone a mere Bai Suzhen.

It's just that Bai Niangniang has never been a generous person. Before leaving the house, she even told Xiaohui, the housekeeper, "Remember whoever set off the firecrackers."

A group of three people talked and hit the road like this.

Due to the reputation of Great Immortal Bai before, Suzhen has a lot of personal things in her hand, so she naturally doesn't want to waste her feet when going out at this time.She rented a huge carriage, the body was magnificent, the interior of the carriage was exquisite and luxurious, and even the little brother who drove the carriage looked very upright.If Zen Master Fahai hadn't stopped him with a livid face, I'm afraid he would have to wrap a layer of gold trim on the outside of the car.

In fact, according to Zen Master Fahai's temperament, he would not even sit in a car.It's just that things in Renhe County are urgent, if there is a delay on the road, I'm afraid there will be some trouble again.

Although Renhe County and Qiantang County seem to live next to each other, the mountain road in the middle is especially difficult to walk.Ordinary people will have to walk for three to five days, counting the fast pace.The white lady's carriage traveled day and night, and arrived in the city in just one day and one night.

It can be seen that there is no such thing as spending money in this world.

It was already night at that time, and Bai Niangniang and Zen Master Fahai led Linghua to an inn in the county.One should have food, housing, and transportation, which is naturally better.In Nuo Da's storefront, Bai Suzhen was so rich and powerful that she bought most of it.

Fang Yucai, the shopkeeper, hadn't seen such a generous benefactor for a long time. His smiling eyes could only see two lines.Nodding and bowing, he led several people into the room, while playing courteously in front of him, squinting his eyes and said.

"Young master brought his wife into the door, and the little one felt that the temperament and demeanor were different from ordinary people. Although our land is not big, the Fengshui is the best in Quanrenhe County. You two carefully step, there is a threshold here... The little girl was really beautiful when she was born. When she grows up, she will be as beautiful as your wife. But, you live here, and you have to be a little bit more verbose. Recently, our county is not very stable, and children are often lost. They are all five or six years old, you have to watch your daughter more closely."

Fang Yucai's words happened to poke at the intention of the two of them, so Suzhen asked about those words.

"Where are these children lost? When we came here, we heard some rumors. If the shopkeeper is not busy, he can sit in the room and tell us in detail."

Fang Yucai quickly walked in and said, "Your honored person is willing to listen, but the young one will naturally know everything. It's just this matter, we have to start talking about it half a month ago..."

Fang Yucai told Bai Suzhen that the original Renhe County was originally a Taiping County, not to mention such a major event as losing a child, even petty theft is extremely rare.It was just half a month ago that a village woman suddenly came to the county government office to report that her five-year-old daughter was lost on the street.

The county magistrate hadn't encountered such a big event in the county for a long time, so he immediately took people to investigate, and arrested a bunch of people, street gangsters, who beat and scolded, but no one would admit it, All said he was wronged.Later, when I heard that the child in the county was lost again, I realized that I might have gone in the wrong direction.

Speaking of this, Fang Yucai couldn't help sighing: "Madam, think about it, which child is not the darling of the parents. If they are lost one after another, even those who have not lost their children will be in trouble. If you don't believe me, go to the streets and alleys at dawn , All of them are gone. It’s just that it’s really strange to say this, the lost children were all lost at night. The first few were playful and lost when they went to the mountains to catch bugs and play with grasshoppers. Later, the biological parents watched closely, no one dared to go to the mountains, and this child ran away in his own yard instead."

Bai Suzhen poured a cup of tea for Fang Yucai.

"What does the shopkeeper mean to say that the ones lost before were all lost on the mountain, and then no children dared to go on the mountain, so the county followed suit?"

Fang Yucai slapped his thigh.

"Exactly. It's just that this group of children was found in the suburbs for no reason later, and the county magistrate hurriedly asked, who kidnapped you? It turned out that they were all a group of people who didn't know what to ask."

Suzhen's index finger on the small table drew circles on the table over and over again, and asked Fang Yucai thoughtfully.

"Then what kind of mountain is this on the edge of Renhe County?"

The shopkeeper said: "I don't even have a name. We only know that this mountain existed a long time ago. Because of its shape, it looks like a crane from a distance, so we call it Hefeng Mountain in private."

Hefeng Mountain.

Bai Niangniang frowned slightly, as if she was wondering if anyone among the goblins had come to Hefeng Mountain to build a cave.

The shopkeeper saw that the "madame" stopped talking, and wondered if he had said something wrong.After the words were finished, the room became quiet, and it was inevitable that I was a little embarrassed. I looked around and found that the "husband" of "Mrs. Pei" was packing up his things not far away.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this young master has not spoken since he entered the door. When "Madam Pei" was talking to him, Xianggong Pei was packing his things.The two of them carried a lot of things, several big wooden boxes, and they didn't know what they contained. Mr. Pei looked at his thin body, and he couldn't breathe when he moved it.

At this time, thinking that everything that should be cleaned up was done properly, Mr. Pei came in again without a word, took the teapot from the small table where the two were sitting, and sat on the other side to drink slowly.

Fang Yucai felt that he should say hello to the "man in charge", so he said with a smile.

"May I ask if your family of three are here to visit relatives or friends?"

However, I don't know if Fang Yucai's voice was louder, or "Pei Gongzi" didn't expect him to talk to him, and he choked up the tea just down his throat.

After choking, he still had a daze on his face, coughed a few times before replying: "That's not my daughter."

The smile on the shopkeeper's face froze after hearing this, and he quickly answered, "That must be a niece? It is said that nieces follow uncles. Look at this girl's appearance, she is..."

"Mr. Pei" said again: "It's not my niece either."

Fang Yucai was about to utter a sentence, didn't you pick that child up on the road?There was only an apologetic smile on his lips.

"Then... Maybe it's like Madam. Speaking of which, I have never seen the man in the couple clean up. It can be seen that the relationship between you and Madam is very good."

"Mr. Pei" put down the teacup that he had just brought to his mouth.He is usually a quiet person, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays. When he talks a lot, it must be to maintain his "clean reputation".

Zen Master Fahai pointed at Bai Suzhen, who was lying on the chair and dangling her feet comfortably, and said, "I don't have a good relationship with her at all. I tidy up because she can't do it at all. She's not me... ..”

"Not you what?"

The white lady who had been watching the "lively" for a long time suddenly stopped the conversation, a white gauze suddenly turned from the chair, and twisted gracefully to speak opposite him.

"Isn't it just that I didn't give birth to a son for you? It's not like this or that. After a while, I'm afraid you won't recognize me as a daughter-in-law?"

While talking, he also stepped forward to stretch the little monk's clothes affectionately twice, and said apologetically to the face of the shopkeeper.

"Our family's temper is not going well recently, don't mind. Let the kitchen prepare some food in a while, half and half of meat and vegetables, and only use one pan to fry the vegetarian ones. I have a bad health recently, and I can't eat any meat and oil stars."

Naturally, the shopkeeper repeatedly said yes, and then looked at the person next to Suzhen, his face was really ugly, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran away quickly after receiving the order.

Zen Master Fahai was about to explain again, but there was no one to be found.Turning to look at Bai Suzhen at the side, it was a smiling villain Dezhi.So, no more tea.Close the door, lock it, and go back to your own room to chant scriptures.

When it was time for dinner, Madam Bai crawled under his window again, and asked him lazily.

"I'm so angry that you can't eat fireworks?"

The candles in the room flickered twice, after a while.The window slowly opened a small crack, and one arm took the two steamed buns from Suzhen's hand with precision.Fu hesitated for a while, took away the vegetarian food in the other hand, and closed the window again with a "bang".

Silent all night.
