Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Since he didn't want to be disturbed, he could only pray and hope that everything was fine.

After all, wolves would never attack anyone without reason, and for them, this was a sumptuous meal.

When I thought about the desperate look of that man just now, I got so angry that I didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I walked down the mountain road.

But before I ran far, I heard a rustling sound behind me. It turned out that Jinlan had woken up and was desperately running up the mountain. I subconsciously moved to the side, wanting her to go first.

Unexpectedly, although she was very familiar with this road, she could not hold on any longer, her foot slipped, and she fell down the stairs. Even from a distance of more than ten meters, I could hear her screams as she fell to the ground.

Oddly enough, the infatuated man did not follow us, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead on the mountain.

Jinlan's crying made me feel a little distressed. It was such a pity for a woman who was so weak to have such a thing happen to her. But I hardened my heart and didn't want to have anything to do with her.

She looked back and saw that there were no soldiers behind her. She seemed to be frightened. Even though nothing had happened, she was frightened by her own actions.

With a heavy heart, he returned to his hut, intending to pack up his luggage and leave. Unexpectedly, the villagers came out of their huts and showed me joyful looks:

"Ah! Chen Liu, you're finally back. I thought you'd already settled down in the city lord's house, haha!"

"We have taken care of your livestock and driven away the monkeys. Now that you are back, we will leave this place to you. You should take good care of your injuries!"

These guys...

To be honest, if the situation had not forced me, I would not have given up my peaceful life. I am in a good mood now, and even the pain of Dr. Han becoming someone else's wife is not so strong. Until dawn, no one came to disturb me, and everything was very peaceful.

Holding a large piece of wolf meat, I decided to go out and see what was going on. However, halfway through, I heard the sound of a funeral.

Alas, it seems that there are more than one family. I looked down the street and saw seven or eight houses on the hillside, all with white cloth strips. Even Liancheng's mansion was the same. It was rare for so many able-bodied men to leave the mountain city suddenly.

I walked from one household to another, but everyone was busy with the funeral and had no time to care about me. People are dying, and at this time, no one cares so much.

With a heavy heart, I avoided the crowd and walked slowly along the foggy path. I came across a house by accident. Eight coffins were lying in the courtyard. This scene was so shocking that it woke me up immediately.

It was the sudden deaths of these eight families that led to this series of tragedies in Shancheng.

There was a distant relative in the yard. When he saw me coming, his expression was not good. He just asked coldly, "Whose family is this?"

I made up a random excuse, saying that I was the old man's disciple and came to help him. The man listened to me, nodded repeatedly, and said gratefully: "I thought no one would come, but I didn't expect someone to come so soon. Thank you very much."

He sighed and said reluctantly: “Alas, it’s supposed to be a funeral, but now there’s not even a helper, what can an old lady like me do?

It’s really worrying…”

Seeing me ask this, she did not hide it and said directly:

"If it was before, I wouldn't say this, but now, I can tell you."

At the beginning, a fairy came to the mountain city and met that adult. The adult was bending over to pick up firewood. At that time, she was the only one listening to their conversation.

As for the conversation between my master and that adult, the old lady can no longer remember it clearly, but time is merciless. She always kept the matter deep in her heart and dared not tell anyone. Over time, things became a little vague.

What he meant was that twenty-five years later, the city lord would face a great disaster, and he would need the help of his brother-in-law to survive it.

Combined with my personal experience, I roughly understood the whole story: the mayor wanted me to marry Jinlan, so that I could be in the same boat with him and help him get through this crisis smoothly.

But now, a lover who appeared out of nowhere took their lives, proving that his guess was correct and that he had failed in the end.

In fact, if you weren't so impatient and didn't rush to control me, but let me recover slowly, and when my mood was better, maybe I would really have a relationship with Jin Lan.

I am a member of the Chen family, which my grandfather exchanged his life for, so I have the responsibility to pass it on to my descendants.

Alas, people in this world just like to rush around and always try to take shortcuts.

Now, the person is gone and the cause of death is still a mystery. Only women and children are left in the city lord's house. Without a leader, they certainly don't have time to care about me, the "culprit."

“Thank you for telling me so much, don’t worry, I will take care of it.

Go get help."

I handed the wolf meat in my hand to her as a token of my gratitude, and then began to look for familiar villagers. They were all busy, scattered in different rooms, busy.

Due to the rush, most of the procedures were simplified and the coffin was just closed.

I was there because I wanted to take this opportunity to find out how those people died. So many people died overnight, there must be something wrong.

I buried seven coffins, but found nothing. When I finished digging up the first body, one of the bodies sighed:

"Alas, it's all my fault. There's obviously something wrong with the cemetery in the back mountain. Some gods have set up a forbidden area, but they just don't believe it. Now that they're buried, I can't rest easy."

My heart suddenly began to lift.

The cemetery on the back mountain is nothing. I have been there. It is a mass grave. I stayed there for more than half a month to complete a mission.

It seems that the experience of this family is related to the mass grave. I must investigate it carefully when I have time. He is already a little unsteady on his feet, and it is time to go home and rest.

Before leaving, I gathered all the villagers and invited them to my hut to share the remaining wolf meat. Although the meat was a bit too much, it tasted much better than the one at the banquet when it was mixed with some thick porridge made from vegetables and paired with fresh potatoes.

These people do have a conscience. They didn't run away with others carrying things. Instead, they stayed with me for a day and a night. Now they are exhausted and of course they need to replenish themselves.

However, when he returned to his residence, he found it empty. None of the cows and sheep that he had let out during the day were there.

I told everyone to cook and went to the hillside to look for it. Seeing this scene, my heart sank: 7 sheep, 1 cow and 1 sheep

The remaining goats were all covered in blood, but none of them had a complete body.

Judging from the tooth marks on this goat, it must have fallen into the mouths of wolves.

The six goats must have been taken away by the wolves, leaving only one goat and a cow, which were too heavy to be pulled up.

After dinner, everyone went with me to the scene of the incident and carried the sacrificial bull together. He didn't want to throw away a piece of good meat in the mountains.

Before leaving, I insisted on cutting some meat for them to take away, but they refused: "Chen Liu, you can put this meat on the stove to dry. There will be plenty of time in the future. You can't let us bully you all the time, right?

If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell us. No matter what, we regard you as a friend and Shancheng welcomes you at any time.

Shortly after they left, an old woman came to them. This time she came to tell me that she was going to attend the funeral, clearly treating me as a member of the mountain city.

I didn't object because I could put everything behind me.

However, Jinlan has not appeared yet, which is a bit strange. I was chosen by the gods to be the son-in-law. We are a perfect match, a perfect match, a perfect match. If I agree, it will only be a matter of time before I become a senior Feng Shui master.

However, I don’t have too big pursuits. Everything depends on fate. Getting it is my luck, and losing it is my destiny.

In order to find out what the Jin family was up to, I dragged my weak body and walked towards them carefully. The Jin family's New Year decorations had long been dismantled, replaced with white cloth and yellow paper on the ground, a desolate and sad scene.

However, the Jin family members who were immersed in grief did not notice this.

Jinlan was the eldest daughter in the family, but her disappearance was like she had vanished into thin air. I walked around the wall for a long time but could not see her.

Just when I was wondering whether she would go back to sleep, I suddenly heard sobbing behind me, as if someone was quietly wiping tears.

Following the direction of the sound, I found a dilapidated stilt house, and the crying sound came from the second floor.

This wooden house was so dilapidated that when I stepped on it, my face was covered with spider webs. Such a loud noise would wake up even a ghost, not to mention a living person, so the crying sound did stop.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe it. But suddenly, a person in white clothes and mourning clothes shouted to me:

"Who are you? Get as far away from me as possible!"

I looked and it was Jinlan's voice. Why wasn't this girl crying at home?

An abandoned old house is really incredible.

"It's me!" a voice came from behind.

I believed that if she heard my voice, she would chase me away. But, obviously, I underestimated her importance to me, and she angrily said: "Get out!"

This girl has something wrong with her brain!

"We're already engaged, and we're asking them to get out?"
