Fast Travel: Debt Repayment Strategy

Chapter 96 Passerby A Online Scrubbing CP18
Night, quietly filled.

The moonlight dispelled the layers of mist, leaving only a gentle solitude, poking in from the window, cautiously and tremblingly, like a thief who has done something wrong, afraid of waking up someone's sleep.

The cold wind slapped the window eaves carelessly, making a creaking sound, which was even more prominent in this quiet room.

Curled up on the bed alone, those eyes are like clear glass gems, glowing brightly in the dark night, so beautiful.

This is a small house under Mo Xuan's name.

Su Mu didn't have much money, and she knew her own strength, so she didn't refuse the other party's kindness and stayed here temporarily.

There is not much dust in the house, and the furnishings are relatively new. It seems that someone cleans it frequently, which saves a lot of trouble.

The small courtyard was cold and not too big, even though she was the only one living there, it still looked so lonely and empty.

The charcoal fire in the stove went out at some point, so the room was cold.

Su Mu wrapped the quilt tightly, shivering from the cold, to death Wen Yu, a dog man, actually believed in that fake Tang Zi.

She muttered, still feeling resentful and dissatisfied in her heart, and couldn't swallow the breath no matter what.

I am illiterate, I can't understand the words at all, let alone tell which one is the account book, Wen Yu obviously knows it.

How can...

Wait, he didn't do it on purpose.

Su Mu lifted the quilt, hurriedly put on his coat and pushed the door out.

The cold wind awakened her reason.

She stood in the courtyard blankly, and couldn't help shivering a few times.

Under the bright moonlight, that little face looked even paler.

If Wen Yu had a plan and went there by himself...wouldn't it be destroying the other party's plan?

If the guess is correct, is he trying to avoid danger this time?
Thinking about it carefully, Mo Xuan appeared not long after Su Mu left the Wen residence, perhaps it was all in his arrangement.

burden……

Do you all think so?So I'm the only one in the dark.

Su Mu clenched her palms subconsciously, her eyes revealed firmness, and the rustling of leaves could be heard incessantly, as if vaguely encouraging something, she quietly made a decision in her heart.

A thin figure was reflected by the moonlight on the eaves. Wen Yu stared quietly at the girl's back, her heart seemed to be carrying a lot of thoughts, heavy, and the white brocade robe was stained with a little frost, and she didn't know how long she stood there.

……

Three days passed in the ordinary life of Xiaoyuan.

Su Mu eats and drinks well. If she were an ordinary person, such a life would be satisfying.

But she knew all the plot and knew that the current peace was just a temporary illusion.

In the past three days, his body has been getting worse and worse. The Gu insects seemed to have gone crazy and devoured the vitality in the body. If he hadn't practiced the Ten Thousand Beasts Art to resist some of it, the oil would have been exhausted.

Now Su Mu is extremely afraid of the cold.

Even if the indoor charcoal fire is strong, you must wear thick and warm clothes.

In the past few days, I haven't gone out for a long time. If it wasn't for someone bringing her meals every day, she might have starved to death long ago.

The food delivery person is the neighbor next door, who always passes the food box in through the small door in the courtyard wall. The person never talks to her, and the window is not big enough for the food box to pass through, and no one can be seen. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl.

It's useless to think too much, so Su Mu simply stopped worrying about it and saved a lot of troubles.

Mo Xuan has always been her source of information. Except for the first day, he has never been here since then. I wonder if something big happened.

Perhaps because she had completely lost understanding of the outside world, she felt even more uneasy.

Su Mu was getting a little impatient for waiting. Although she was afraid of the cold, she could still pass through Renren.

She changed into thick clothes and hurried out in a red fluffy cloak to inquire about news.

If there is any major event in Qi'an City, there will definitely be some news.

Su Mu found a teahouse, picked an inconspicuous corner, and casually ordered a cup of tea.

The teahouse is a good place to inquire about the news.

Not long after she sat down, she heard two literati and guest officials next door whispering.

"Have you heard? Right Prime Minister Wen has not been in court for three days. It is said that he is seriously ill."

"Isn't this normal? Wen Youxiang was often seriously ill before."

"It's different this time. According to the gossip from Dr. Zhang, he has been in a coma for a day. I'm afraid it will be... oh."

"This... Wen Youxiang is a role model for our poor family. He is extremely talented. How could this be so? Heaven is jealous of talents, heaven is jealous of talents!" The man patted the table and sighed, attracting many eyes.

seriously ill?
How could it be, since he had already taken the Gu worms, could it be that Wen Yu's body was still too worn out.

Su Mu was a little worried, and left in a hurry before taking a few sips of the tea on the table, leaving some coins behind.

Calm down, people have already arrived at Wenfu.

The plaque is already covered with white silk.

Although they have only been away for three days, it seems like they have been separated for many years, and a sense of familiarity and strangeness suddenly arises in my heart.

Su Mu stretched out his hand and was about to knock on the door, when someone pulled the door open unexpectedly, with his hand hanging in the air.

Cai Tao was about to leave cursingly with her burden on her back, but Shao Yao stopped her from behind.

Seeing themselves, both of them were taken aback.

"What's going on here?"

"Tangyue, my lord...he's gone." Shao Yao sobbed, her hand that was holding on to Caitao's sleeve couldn't help but loosen.

Caitao seized the opportunity to break free, pushed Su Mu away, and ran away with the burden on his back.

Su Mu staggered and almost fell to the ground, but Shao Yaoyan quickly helped him up.

She opened her mouth, her mouth was dry for a while, she didn't know what to say, and she felt as if she was still living in a dream.

That’s a lie, it’s only been three days since I last saw you.

Didn't someone still arrogantly say that he wanted to drive himself away that day.

"Shaoyao, don't be kidding."

Su Mu didn't notice that his voice was trembling, but he held onto the other party's sleeve tightly, with a serious expression, like a stubborn child who insisted on getting candy.

Shao Yao still had red eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

Seeing this, she already understood something, and something seemed to shatter in her heart.

"Take me to see Wen Yu."

These words had exhausted all the strength in Su Mu's body, she tremblingly pushed Shaoyao away, and walked in stubbornly, every step seemed to be on the tip of a knife.

living room.

A pair of black coffins was quietly placed here.

Mo Xuan, An Jing, Tang Rui, and Tang Zi knelt on the ground.

Yuan Bao and Cai Bao knelt outside with red eyes, and put ghost coins into the copper basin from time to time.

The cold wind scroll carried paper money scattered all over the sky, like a mournful farewell song.

Before Su Mu took a step, she just felt a bloody smell coming from her throat. Her already pale face was even more bloodless. She stood there trembling for a while, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
