hard work

These days, although Wen Huaizhou has enjoyed the life of staying with the bitter boy, but apart from practicing calligraphy, he does not do other things that exceed the rules. The world ignored it, but had to stay in this courtyard to "torture" the poor children.

Naturally, Ku Tong couldn't say a word of complaint, otherwise the three young masters might cause trouble again.

But being so restrained, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I took the opportunity to ask Wen Huaizhou to raise the matter of lifting the ban.

Wen Huaizhou went to bed with Ku Tong last night, smelling the fragrance of camellia, he felt better physically and mentally after sleeping, and his sleep quality improved a lot. This morning, he dragged Ku Tong up for breakfast.

A drawer of steamed buns, red bean cakes, shortbread, preserved egg porridge... all kinds of color, flavor and taste. This poor boy who likes to eat a little bit of food has also eaten a lot these days. Of course, besides eating by himself, he also keeps going Bring food to Wen Huaizhou.

"Master, eat more, this steamed bun tastes great, it must suit your taste." Kutong got used to getting along with Wen Huaizhou these days, so he is no longer afraid of Wen Huaizhou. When he said this, his eyes were smiling like crescent moons, Like a cute little fox.

Wen Huaizhou glanced at him, took a bite out of it, took a few mouthfuls of other dishes, and then stopped leisurely.

"But suffocated in the courtyard?"

Hearing this, Ku Tong felt that there was something interesting, so he nodded sincerely, staring at Wen Huaizhou with stars in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Wen Huaizhou turned his eyes away a little uncomfortably, but he was extremely happy in his heart. Being looked at by such a beautiful woman would make everyone happy.

Kutong was also determined by Wen Huaizhou's character of being soft and not hard, and he showed a look of admiration during this time, which gave Wen Huaizhou enough vanity.

Wen Huaizhou raised the corner of his mouth and rubbed the top of Kutong's soft hair, but found that the touch was very good. The more he looked at Kutong, the more pleasing it was to his eyes. It was rare to say softly: "You can go out, but remember, don't be bullied by someone again." gone."

Ku Tong suddenly jumped up happily, raised an innocent smile to Wen Huaizhou, and said with a youthful voice unique to teenagers: "Thank you, young master!"

Wen Huaizhou's earlobes turned red quietly, his eyes dodged left and right, he glanced at Ku Tong for a moment, and his fingers on the table looked at the table irregularly.

But Kutong didn't notice this, instead he ate the food on the table with all his heart and got Wen Huaizhou's special permission. Take it away, what a waste.

Wen Huaizhou didn't know, he thought it was normal for Ku Tong to grow his body and eat a lot, and even watched him eat with great interest, but he ignored the boy's urging him to go to the morning court for a long time, and it was time to leave Just stood up.

Seeing that Wen Huaizhou had finally left, Ku Tong hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to him happily, "Be careful all the way."

Wen Huaizhou didn't know which muscle was wrong, hearing this made his whole body feel comfortable, it seemed to have opened up a certain memory deep in his heart, anyway, he was even more reluctant to leave, and pulled Kutong to hug him tenderly.

Ku Tong really had nothing to do with him, so he went up and hugged Wen Huaizhou's waist, resting his head on Wen Huaizhou's shoulder, letting him smell the fragrance of his camellia with all his strength.

Yes, Ku Tong has long discovered Wen Huaizhou's little habit. Wen Huaizhou often gets upset because of some trivial things. In order to prevent Wen Huaizhou from affecting the innocent, Ku Tong quietly releases this taste to please him.

Wen Huaizhou was hugged by Kutong at this moment, and his body and mind were greatly disturbed. He wished he could not get up because of him. He greedily absorbed the fragrance of Kutong's body, and felt that the smell was unbelievable.

Seeing this, the boy waiting for the bus turned pale with fright, and begged Wen Huaizhou to get on the sedan chair quickly, otherwise he would really be late!

Hearing this, Ku Tong quickly let go of his arms and was about to raise his head, but Wen Huaizhou hugged his whole body, his strong arms tightly restrained Ku Tong's waist and shoulder blades, and finally took a deep breath, and then let him go.

Wen Huaizhou left without looking back, only waved his back to Ku Tong and said, "Go home early."

It seems that he is afraid that if he takes another look, he will really be unable to move a step.

When Wen Huaizhou got into the sedan chair, Ku Tong was still pondering over his last sentence.

Come back home?

Ku Tong suddenly asked himself mockingly: "Where is my home?" Then he looked up at the vast sky and remained silent for a long time.

Now that the ban on Kutong has been lifted, the first thing to do is naturally related to Wen Huailan.

Kutong has been in the temple since he was a child, and he knows a thing or two about psychics and even exorcism. What's more, he often looks on when Master Jingkong performs the practice for the benefactor.

But Ku Tong often sat by the window in a daze these days when he had nothing to do, but he saw something strange in a courtyard northwest of Wenfu. Ku Tong didn't perceive any real evil, but he could see it twice. A puff or two of black smoke rose from there.

Ku Tong knows in his heart that some people are unwilling to die like this when they die wronged. They would rather leave a soul after death and not follow him into the next life, and also want to entangle the person who killed him for the rest of his life. Secondly, it can be regarded as a mark for himself in the next life , warning the next life not to repeat past mistakes.

And the only person in the Wen family who has died in the past few years and died in a very tragic way is Wen Huailan, and Huailan often went to Qingyun Temple during his lifetime, and she is the only one who knows this method and can do it.

It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, so Ku Tong immediately set off for the northwest.

The winter afternoon is not as piercing as the early morning, but more sunshine shines on the ground. When Kutong came out of this Fengyanyuan, there is a lake. The center of the lake has formed into pieces when the snow fell a few days ago. The ice stone cracked a few places under the sunlight, and after walking a few more steps, Ku Tong came to a small garden, passed through several holly trees, and actually saw a gray tile wall.

This place is very quiet, and there is a large bamboo forest behind, which reminds Ku Tong of Fenglan Mountain hundreds of miles away.These bamboos are tough and straight, and the leaves are covered with snow and frost, but they still can't crush their waists, but they have a special temperament.

Ku Tong couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while, but when he turned his head, he was startled by the sudden appearance of the person.

Wen Huailin still had that gentle smile, and today he happened to be wearing a turquoise cloak, which was even more upright and handsome than this bamboo.

Wen Huailin stepped forward, looked at the bamboos with his hands folded, and said to Kutong, "Why did my brother and sister come to me today, are they feeling better?"

Ku Tong was extremely surprised that this was Wen Huailin's courtyard... He thought about it, but replied calmly: "Second young master, don't worry, my health is much better. Because I stayed in the courtyard for a long time, Today I was finally able to go out for a stroll, and I saw a bamboo forest here, and I couldn’t help but think about it, and thought of the bamboo in Fenglan Mountain, so I came here to take a second look."

Wen Huailin expressed that he understood very well, and said indifferently: "Siblings and sisters don't have to be jealous, you can come to this bamboo forest if you have time or not... Since you are all here, why don't you come to my courtyard and have a cup of tea?"

Ku Tong was taken aback, remembering that the last time he was with him, Wen Huaizhou was so angry that he didn't return home for a few days... Although he didn't care about Wen Huaizhou, but he thought that he was indeed Wen Huaizhou's concubine, walking here with other brothers It's not a good thing to be so close...

Wen Huailin seemed to see his worries, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, brother and sister, I was too abrupt last time, and I apologized to Huai Zhouhao, but if my brother and sister really don't want to come to our courtyard, Huai Lin will take care of himself." It's very understandable."

Ku Tong was silent for a long time, but he still agreed. After all, the black smoke rose from this direction. If Wen Huailin was really related to Huai Lan's death... then Ku Tong would definitely not let him go.

From the backyard to the front, it is the main entrance of Yunqi Garden.This yard is really unusual. In addition to many refreshing green plants, there is even a small shallow pond. A few koi are leisurely in it, which is very beautiful.

In addition to Wen Huailin's courtyard, there is another courtyard next to Wen Huailin's house, not to mention the promenade next to Wen Huailin's house, where servants come and go.Seeing this, Wen Huailin explained to him that there were not many servants living in the front and back of the bamboo forest, and there were dozens of them.

Ku Tong did indeed see large and small houses gathering beside these main courtyards. It would be too arbitrary to say that the black smoke came from Wen Huailin's courtyard, so Ku Tong suspected that Wen Huailin's heart was a little shaken again.

After entering the room, it was really elegant and tight, except for some clutter on the side table, everything else was very tidy.

Ku Tong's eyes naturally fell there unconsciously, he knew these booklets, and occasionally saw them on Wen Huaizhou's desk... A white light flashed in Ku Tong's mind, isn't this the memorial that Wen Huaizhou often wrote?

He took advantage of the gap between Wen Huailin's instructions to his servants and sneaked over to look. It happened that a few of them had been opened. Ku Tong concentrated his attention and tried to understand the words on it, but found that he knew very few of them.

Just when he was distressed, he suddenly recognized a few characters he could recognize - "Turk".

Ku Tong hurriedly took another step forward, barely read a line, and Wen Huailin who was on the side had already come over to cover it up.

Wen Huailin still smiled very warmly, but his tone was full of apologies: "This is a memorial that will be reported to the emperor in the next few days. It has been changed several times but it is not good. It has not been cleaned up here, and it has become so messy. Made you laugh."

Ku Tong quickly shook his head, took the cup of tea as if nothing had happened, and asked casually, "Young Master, has anything happened in the city recently? I think the third young master is also about this Turk."

Wen Huailin raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that my younger siblings could even recognize such a rare word like Zhen. A group of Turkic people suddenly came from Gaoping County, and the court was arguing over this matter."

Ku Tong asked, "How do you say that?"

Wen Huailin took a sip of tea, and frowned slightly: "The Turks and I, Yongchang, have established diplomatic relations. It would be unjust to expel these people, but after the Turks came to Gaoping, they often heard that the young lady of the family It's gone, but it's already..." After finishing speaking, he sighed.

Ku Tong seemed to understand, and felt angry in his heart: "Why don't you just deal with them according to the law of the country?"

Wen Huailin shook his head regretfully: "It's not easy to catch them? We have neither evidence nor qualifications to discipline a foreigner."

Ku Tong was silent, swallowed his tea, and suddenly said: "Master, believe it or not, I am not the murderer who killed Huai Lan. Can you tell me how many wounds Huai Lan has on his body?"

Wen Huailin was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Kutong to mention this person, he sighed deeply and said: "We are all a family, I believe you. Wu Zuo did come to check it, except for the obvious injury on his body ...Huailan's arms are marked by being tied up, and her neck is also ferociously red, she was strangled to death..."

Kutong couldn't hear the words behind, but felt that what he guessed and thought in his heart gradually became clear, and now there was only resentment and injustice in his heart.He greeted Wen Huailin a few words, and left in a hurry.

It's true that Ku Tong didn't know many words, but it was a coincidence that he happened to know all the first lines of the memorial, and he couldn't help clenching his fists by his side.

He looked up at the sky, and then he was obliged to leave the gate of Wen Mansion.
