The next day, the east gradually became pale, and Xu Chi was the first to wake up on the hard kang.

He lifted the quilt and swung his legs out of bed.

Both Jiang Yu and Zhou Qi fell asleep peacefully.

Xu Chi's eyes stayed on Zhou Qi's sleeping face for two more seconds. He didn't know how he fell asleep last night, but he knew it with his toes. It must be Zhou Qi who moved him to bed later.

Looking at it this way, this person has become much more pleasing to the eye.

In fact, when Zhou Qi closes those eyes, his stern or almost combative features are cushioned just the right amount.

If you fill in the lack of that broken eyebrow, this face will have a sense of familiarity that I don't know where it comes from.

Xu Chi retrieved his memory again, but it was still in vain.

While in a daze, Zhou Qi woke up suddenly, and the two stood and lay eye to eye for a moment, but they didn't recover.

"Ah!" At this time, Jiang Yu suddenly sat up in shock, took a deep breath and slammed his chest, "I, I, I, I seem to be haunted at night! I can't open my eyes when I want to wake up! Did I hit a ghost? ? Ah? Isn’t it? It’s so scary, I fucking thought I was dying..."

"Yeah, ghosts are sitting on you and you don't know how to wake up. If it weren't for me, you would have died ten thousand times." Zhou Qi yawned. Playing tricks on cowards, making it scary and making it up, "That female ghost looks old and scary, with such a long tongue, such a big belly, and so much saliva - she came in from the door and sniffed one by one. , I can't walk when I smell you, the young girl has delicate skin and tender meat, it must be delicious..."

"Oh my god! Zhou Qi, you're a donkey! You know it's scary!" Jiang Yu was so frightened that he couldn't choose what to say, and the cat hunched down and burrowed into the quilt, like an ostrich that knows how to bury its head in its wings when it is in danger.

Zhou Qi patted the Kang and laughed.

Looking up again, Xu Chi had already left the door.

Leng Qiu stood guard at the door, holding a branch in his hand and squatting on the ground to write and draw. Seeing Xu Chi come out, he immediately threw the branch and stood up, and calmly erased all the drawings on the ground with his toes.Her hair color is green under the sun, very energetic: "Morning, Xu Shang...Uncle Xu!"

Xu Chi nodded as usual, but his reaction was not enthusiastic.

Only the indifferent brows and eyes were rarely softened.

But it was only fleeting, he ignored the girl's eyes eager to rush up to chat and talk about the old days, and kept walking, passing her by.

Leng Qiu stayed where he was, with disappointment in his bright eyes.

Meeting the child of an old friend should have been a joyful event, but unfortunately, the occasion and timing were too bad.

And for a while... Xu Chi's lips were stretched by the tense tendons, and he had to admit that he was dominated by a strong resistance.It is similar to the timidity of people who travel far away.He refused to take the initiative to inquire about the news of the old man, even if the person with enough identity to provide accurate information was right in front of him.

He dreaded hearing information that might not be friendly to him.

Especially about Leng Mingjue.

At the beginning, she broke up with her father and brother and ran away from home, and then shot and killed her brother who loved her and doted on her with her own hands, all thanks to him.

This kind of regret can't make up for it even if he spends his whole life.

All he could do was stay away from her and her children.

Xu Chi disappeared and didn't come back until the big guy finished breakfast.

Jiang Yu circled around him, booing and inquiring about his health.

"Brother, you didn't eat last night, are you hungry?"

"I missed breakfast too, I left two steamed buns for you."

"Eat as much as you want bro, life-saving is the most important thing!"

Xu Chi obviously felt that he was noisy, so he had no choice but to deal with it: "You eat, I'm not hungry."

"How can you not be hungry..."

Not far away, Leng Qiu sat alone on the threshold, casting eager gazes from time to time.

The object of attention was Xu Chi, but Xu Chi was unmoved.

Zhou Qi observed it for a while and found it interesting.

They were sitting in the courtyard to dry their stomachs when they were full, when the two maidservants came out of the main house with sad faces, discussing as they walked, "Have you really searched everywhere?"

"I've looked for it, I've even looked under the bed, but there's no one there!"

"Before going to bed yesterday, I went to pick out the wick in the room, and it was still there at that time."

"Yeah, that's weird."

"You two young ladies, what are you talking about?" Jiang Yu's attention shifted away from the steamed buns in an instant, and he leaned over gossipingly, "Who is missing?"

He has a childlike face with young teeth, which is extremely deceptive, except for Ren Simiao, he can arouse the maternal love of most female animals.

When the two little maids saw his smiling face, their hearts softened, and each of them tore his hair.

"I'm telling you secretly, the second lady is missing! There's no one left before breakfast."

"Yes, I don't know if he ran away or was taken captive."

Su disappeared?

Xu Chi and Zhou Qi looked at each other, and their first reaction was that the couple eloped at night.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the entire Zhu family.

For a moment, people were in a state of panic, Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Min sat in the hall, and sent their servants to search everywhere. Time passed, and it was almost noon, and no one brought back any useful news.The Min family is a weak girl, and not long after Mrs. Zhu took charge of the family after she fell ill, she was so anxious that she began to sob in a low voice.The old lady Zhu braced herself up, and said sharply: "Why are you crying? You only know to drop golden beans when you encounter something! People are just missing, not dead!"

Zhu Xiao didn't leave the room until mid-sun, and strolled to the main house. Seeing that everyone's expressions were not quite right, he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, everyone is wearing a sad face?"

Min-shi sobbed and explained the whole story, Zhu Xiao suddenly dropped the teacup in his hand, his complexion changed drastically.

"Husband?" Sensing something strange, Min gently wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "Husband, why are you sweating so much? But you wear a lot when you get up?"

Mrs. Zhu saw some clues, and said coldly: "Rong'er is missing, boss, do you know something inside?"

Without answering, Zhu Xiao slapped Min's hand away roughly, turned around and lifted up his robe, brushed aside the crowd, and ran out in a hurry.

"Husband, brother Xiao, where are you going?" The Min family didn't know, so she held up her skirt to follow, "Husband is waiting for the concubine, and the concubine will go with you."

So the Zhu family rushed forward, and they all went to investigate.

The NPCs acted so sincerely, Xu Chi, the specially invited audience, of course couldn't help watching.

A group of people turned around the artificial lake in the backyard and came to a large locked house.There is a bronze tripod outside the big house, and three huge sticks of incense are burning inside the tripod. There is no wind today, and three straight lines of smoke go straight into the sky.

"Husband, what are you doing in the ancestral hall?" Min shrank a little. She never liked to come to the gloomy Zhu family ancestral hall. Except for the anniversary of the death of the master, she almost never set foot here.

Zhu Xiao couldn't listen to others at all at the moment, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the lock tremblingly with trembling hands. He was sweating profusely, and poked it for a long time, unable to align the keyhole of the copper lock. Son.

"Things that are worthless, let me do it!" The old lady hated iron and steel in every word, she kicked the eldest son's ass hard, snatched the key, opened the door, and was the first to step in. go.

Xu Chi's eyelids twitched, feeling that something was about to happen.

"Oh my dear!"

Mrs. Zhu let out a moan, saw something inside the door, suddenly rolled her eyes, fell back and pouted.

"Old lady!"

"Grandma!"

"mother!"

In the confusion, the Min family reached out to catch Zhu's mistress, and the two fell into a ball.

The scene was out of control for a while, and people were turned on their backs.From the shadows of the graceful people, Min saw the large and small shrines containing the ranks of the ancestors, and her gaze moved down slowly, touching the blood-stained futon, the messy clothes, and a dark red embroidered shoe she made herself.

"Ah—" she suddenly exclaimed, her face was like gold paper, her index finger tremblingly pointed forward, "Rong... Sister Rong..."

Zhu Xiao entered the door with his hind feet, and was nailed to the spot as if struck by lightning, then he knelt down with a plop, and quickly backed away with his hands on the ground, he was chanting words, his eyes lost their luster, as if he was overly frightened.

Zhou Qi rushed into the ancestral hall slowly.

Between the fluttering spirit flags, lay a naked female corpse. The scarlet clothes were torn into rags and scattered all over the place. The integrity of the corpse was extremely low. There were deep knife marks all over the main torso. One arm, one leg on the right, and the head rolled behind the door.

In the dark ancestral hall, there was a musty smell that had not been seen for a long time, mixed with a strong smell of blood and incense, and someone pinched his nose and vomited.

Xu Chi and the head at his feet looked at each other in dismay, Su's almond eyes widened in horror, and he could not rest in peace.

A fresh locust tree branch was inserted in her messy bun, and sporadic white locust trees were dotted in her black hair.

The strange scent of locust tree breaks through the smell of blood and invades the nasal cavity.

Next to the head, lay a machete for chopping wood. The machete was curled, half of it was rust, half was blood, and a lock of long, light-colored, almost brown hair was wrapped around the handle.

Everyone is still in shock.

The wet nurse was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled away the 13-year-old granddaughter of the Zhu family.

The scene was silent, as if the still button had been pressed.

Suddenly, without any warning, Zhu Xiao violently jumped up, rushed to pick up the machete, and turned around to chop down the Min family who was sitting on the ground with no color.

"Ah!" Miss Min shrieked with her head in her arms, terrified, and while dodging, she dodged left and right while protecting Mistress Zhu who had passed out in her arms.

"It's none of your business, you start now!" Zhu Xiao's eyes were red, as if he was in a trance, he panted heavily, and pointed his machete at the unconscious old lady Zhu, "This old man must have ordered someone to kill him, She is an inhuman old ghost woman! An out-and-out executioner! Today I will tear her body to pieces and avenge Rong'er for me!"

"But old madam, old madam is your mother, my husband..." The Min family, a weak girl, was pushed far away by her strong husband, then crawled back humbly, hugged Zhu Xiao's thigh and cried to stop her, " Brother Xiao, wake up, are you crazy? You must not commit such a rebellious act of killing your mother!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiao's movements froze, and a sneer slowly appeared on his crazy face: "Who are you calling brother Xiao?"

Min was puzzled, raised her pale oval face, her eyelashes trembled, and tears flowed down her face.

Zhu Xiao bent down and grabbed her chin viciously: "Tell me, who is your Brother Xiao?"

"Xiao... Husband..." Min was pinched in pain, frowned, and tears rolled down, "You, what do you mean by that?"

There was despair in his trembling voice.

"Don't pretend to be a stupid bitch." Zhu Xiao refused to let her go. He seemed to be disgusted with the long-standing hypocrisy and obedience, and finally tore his face and ruthlessly shook his hand away, sneering coldly, "From the beginning to the end, I Brother Xiao who is only one person, what kind of onion are you?"
