windy cold

Chapter 28

When Lu Wanfeng woke up again, he was no longer in Yanqinghe, what caught his eye was the old carved wooden bed of the inn, and the sun in Shenshi slanted into the window, just like the people who had worked hard all day, they finally had a rest, lazy and lazy.

Qin Chuhan sat on the edge of the bed and meditated with his eyes closed. As soon as he moved his body, Qin Chuhan opened his eyes, walked over and said, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm..." Lu Wanfeng sat up, his mind was still not clear, he shook vigorously, and suddenly remembered, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Qin Chuhan said: "Not long ago, I only slept for a day."

"Master Ji Chen, where are they?"

"Take Jiyuan with Zhuqing and go back to Chaohua Temple."

Lu Wanfeng thought for a while, then asked, "What about Suxi?"

Qin Chuhan took him to the South Pavilion.

As the evening approached, it was time for the South Pavilion to open, but it hadn't opened before due to the heavy fog of the epidemic.Although the fog dissipated this morning, the south hall has changed from the old days of drinking and drinking. Plain white silk is hung in every corner of the hall, and the air is cold and lonely.

No one in the hall was sick, and the ladies and gentlemen who usually wore heavy makeup all put on filial piety clothes, and went silently to the inner courtyard of the Zuonan hall, where an old mother was taking a stack of neat clothes, and putting them one by one into the burning clothes. In a hot brazier.

The old mother saw him and saw a stranger, got up and said, "Grandfather... this is..."

Qin Chuhan thought about it for a while, but before he could speak, a turtle slave came out and said, "Nurse Hui, he was the guest that the owner welcomed to the inner courtyard that day, and his surname seems to be Feng."

Lu Wanfeng saw that it was the turtle slave who came to the south hall to guide them last time.

"So that's how it is," the nanny saluted Qin Chuhan respectfully, and said, "Thank you benefactor for sending Xi'er back, I can't repay you for your kindness; please wait a moment for benefactors to finish burning Xi'er." My son's relics, I'm good to entertain the two of you."

Lu Wanfeng observed that this nanny had a calm posture and a very good figure. She must have been a rare beauty when she was young. She also called Su Xi very affectionately, and everyone respected her very much, which shows that her status is not low.

"Mommy, take your time, we are not in a hurry."

Madam Hui sat back, her body was much weaker as she was older, with a thick bun on her head, it seemed that her head would be crushed when she looked down at the brazier.She murmured some words of blessing for her death, her unpainted face seemed to be filled with a smile, but upon closer inspection she seemed to be crying.

Lu Wanfeng and the others withdrew to the outside of the crowd, waited for a while, and when the burnt items were finished, the nanny came out and took the two of them to the inner courtyard of the Younan Building.

This is a small and elegant courtyard, planted with some crape myrtle trees, the color of which is purple with pink, it is also cool and tender, the path leads to the small house on the inside, there is no plaque on the door, white plains hang all over the window edges.

The hut is very simple, with ordinary tables, chairs and benches. If one looks out from the house, no one would have thought that such a small courtyard is located in the biggest romantic place in Jizhou City.The only unique thing was the small lamp on the table that glowed with lavender light. Although it was daytime, but with a little bit of clear purple light, it seemed that the whole room had more flavor.

Lu Wanfeng knew at a glance that there was an amethyst stone in it. The business in the south hall was good, and there were many wealthy businessmen and famous families who patronized him. He was not surprised to have these things, but he couldn't help but think of the one he fell to the bottom of the river. It was a pity. .

"I once heard from Xi'er that he met a Mr. Feng who was going to Kunlun. It must be your benefactor... There is something here that I want to entrust to you," she took out a small one from the drawer. The brocade box was handed over to him, and he begged, "Xi'er, he always wanted to take this thing to the Chaohua Temple in Kunlun. I don't know what's in it. Now that he can't go again, I have to make my own decision and ask you to replace it." He sent it."

Aside from Su Xi's act of revenge, Lu Wanfeng actually likes people like him very much, and he really regrets that he has come to this point, so he took it solemnly and promised: "I will do my best to help him fulfill his wish." .”

Madam Hui knelt down gratefully, but he quickly pulled her up and sat on a chair, "Mama Hui, please don't beat me up."

She wiped away her tears: "It's been a long time since I've seen someone like Engong who doesn't despise us."

Lu Wanfeng said: "There are tens of thousands of ways to make a living, how can they be classified into three, six, or nine grades, isn't it just for making a living?"

Nanny looked at him for a while, then laughed: "No wonder Xi'er praised Mr. so much, I feel relieved when I hand over this brocade box to you."

Lu Wanfeng briefly studied this brocade box. It was about the size of a palm and very light. It was made of high-quality mahogany and was tightly sealed. When you tapped it lightly, you could hear an empty sound. It shook slightly, but there was no sound. I couldn't figure out what it was thing.

However, he didn't intend to open it to see it. The northwest was the direction of Kunlun, and he was going there. After all, Su Xi had surprised him so much, so let him make this wish for him.

Madam Hui took out another light yellow handkerchief, which was embroidered with delicate and lively pictures of peacocks. It seemed that it had been washed many times, and the color had faded a lot.She said to herself: "Just now when I was looking for the brocade box, I remembered this handkerchief. It was left by Xi'er's mother. I will burn it for him later. After all, it is just a thought."

Her hands trembled slightly, and when she got close to the amethyst lamp on the table, the veil turned black, Lu Wanfeng's eyes widened, and when she took it away, the veil changed back to its original color.

He realized that purple would turn into black when it shines on yellow, so what he saw when he dropped the amethyst stone in the river made sense. The black shadow wrapped around Meng Mei's feet was actually her light yellow clothes, no wonder It feels slippery to the touch, and it feels like this when the cloth is wet with water. The water ghost is invisible. It must be that Meng Mei's clothes fell off during the struggle, and the water ghost picked them up and put them on her body. Clothed water ghost caught on a boat.

Mother Hui found him looking back and forth between the lamp and the veil, and hurriedly explained: "Sir, do you think it's strange? I laughed at Ling Yi too, but she is like that. She likes both yellow and purple, but the two are in harmony." Together we will change."

Lu Wanfeng curled his lips and said, "Nurse and Suxi's mother should be very good sisters."

Madam Hui folded the veil carefully, and stroked it lightly. The colorful phoenix on it was about to take off, but she turned her head reluctantly. The bright eyes were full of charms, and there was the moon hanging inside. Lonely.

"Back then, Xi'er's mother and I were sisters. We made an appointment to save enough money to redeem ourselves and leave here together... It is said that women in brothels need to be ruthless to survive, but Ling Yi is a passionate woman, and she met a romantic again. Wu Wenfei, you have deceived Lingyi so hard with your flattering words!" Mammy said angrily, "I always advise her not to have real feelings, we are not from the same family as the Wu family, but she stubbornly chooses to believe in Wu Wenfei, against her mother's will, Secretly gave birth to Xi'er, even killed a benefactor, and ended up being beaten and kicked out of the brothel..."

She didn't continue, but Lu Wanfeng already knew the ending, poverty, illness, raising children, waiting for the person who will never appear again to fulfill his promise...until he couldn't hold on anymore, he asked his son to recognize his father. It was intercepted by Meng Weizhen, and there was everything after that.

He said, "What plans does Mammy have in the future?"

Older people are always a little sentimental, so Madam Hui managed to force a smile: "Xi'er has taken good care of the south hall, and everyone in the hall really respects him. Now that he's gone, he can last a day." Just one day, I know that I don't have a few years to live, so I hope these poor children can live better."

Soon the government came, and as everyone expected, Suxi used evil things to harm the people in the city. Fortunately, with the help of an expert, most of the people in Jizhou survived, but those people who became walking corpses He couldn't be rescued, Su Xi would be responsible for countless lives, and now that he is dead, Nan Guan will surely suffer along with him.

The south hall was surrounded in a threatening manner, Lu Wanfeng accompanied the nanny to drive out, the leader at the head was very vicious, causing panic in the hall.

Soon another man in blue came out of the gate, with a blue fairy sword on his back, his facial features were ordinary, maybe he would forget his appearance in the crowd, but he was very kind when paired together, his gestures were gentle and friendly, In addition to harmony, there is an inviolable majesty.

When the aggressive leader saw him, he immediately bowed and obsequiously approached him. The man was also polite, and he returned the courtesy and chatted with the leader. After a while, he was let in, and several people followed behind him.

Lu Wanfeng looked over from a distance, his face suddenly changed, the Lu family had arrived, and the leader was his elder brother Lu Jianglin!

He immediately turned around and hid in the crowd, while Qin Chuhan remained in place with a calm demeanor.

Lu Jianglin obviously came here for Qin Chuhan, and walked straight over, with a gentle smile in the corner of his eyes, and said, "I heard from the commander that there is a Taoist priest in snow clothes here, so I came here without stopping. It turned out to be you."

Qin Chuhan nodded and said, "Although we know that Jizhou sent a distress letter to the Lu family, I never thought that the head of the Lu family would come in person."

"I happened to be passing by nearby, and a letter from the family said that Jizhou was in trouble, so I turned a corner by the way, thinking that I was late, and I was relieved to see you in the city."

Qin Chuhan described the experience of Jizhou with him, omitting Lu Wanfeng's part, "The water ghosts in the river need to be expelled by the head of the Lu family. , can still be cured."

"These Lu family should do their duty," Lu Jianglin said with a smile, "Brother Qin has been traveling recently, did you find the whereabouts of my unfilial brother?"

"No." Qin Chuhan shook his head calmly.

Lu Wanfeng shrank back again, thinking that he was guilty, and he dragged an honest man into the water just like that.

Lu Jianglin felt a little troubled, "Mother's body is getting weaker and weaker. I really want to ask Wanfeng if he did it, but I never see him..."

Qin Chuhan said: "The Skynet has been restored, and the real culprit will surely be arrested and brought to justice."

Lu Jianglin said: "I hope it is true."

The two didn't talk any more, the Lu family still had to negotiate with the government, especially since the Meng family collapsed after the First World War yesterday, leaving only Mrs. Meng and the Miss Meng family who has not yet woken up. Meng Weizhen's body still needs to be salvaged, but before The epidemic and the water ghost must be settled.

Lu Wanfeng found an opportunity to slip out from the backyard over the wall, and knocked out a soldier who noticed something unusual.

Qin Chuhan was waiting outside. Today the city closure order was lifted, so they didn't go back to the inn, but left Jizhou and went straight to Kunlun.

The author has something to say: I was late in posting yesterday, and I am guilty.
