[Comprehensive Onmyoji] Combination of Flowers and Plants

"Why do people dig holes? People live on the ground."

"Probably to hide food?" Hua Manlou laughed as he said, "Or there is some shady secret."

"Do humans like to keep secrets underground?"

"Humans like to hide secrets in various places. They always feel that what they hide will never be found, and the bad things they have done will never be found."

Yingcao nodded receptively, "Monsters are never afraid of being discovered when they do bad things, they just fight if they are discovered."

Hua Manlou laughed, he couldn't imagine what it would be like for this cute little girl to say "fight"...

Of course Yingcao didn't know what he was thinking, so she moved a stool by herself and sat by the window to bask in the moon.Plants are phototropic, and without light, even plants that turn into monsters cannot survive.

Hua Manlou was helpless, and took out a white cloak to put on her.Although he didn't know if monsters were afraid of the cold, he still remembered the cool touch just now.

Early the next morning, when Lu Xiaofeng saw Yingcao coming out of Huamanlou's room, his expression was like this: °(°ˊДˋ°)°

He didn't know what happened at all, why was he in the same room all right?Why leave him alone in the vacant room? 【fog

However, his expression was too colorful to be seen, and Yingcao couldn't understand it, and no one kindly answered him.

The three followed the servants to have breakfast, Qi Donglin had been waiting at the door for a long time, when he saw the three people coming over, he hurriedly explained, saying that his father always had breakfast in his yard, and he would not see them until after dinner .His complexion looked much better, and he probably slept well last night, maybe it was because of the peach petals.

After the few people finished eating, Qi Donglin ordered the butler beside him to see if his father had finished eating, so that it would be inconvenient to meet guests.In fact, it was a bit impolite for the son to urge his father like this, but his father was too unreliable. The guests stayed all night, and it was shameful that he had never even met him.

Hua Manlou took the opportunity to quietly tell Lu Xiaofeng the honest thing, and asked him by the way: "This Master Qi doesn't welcome you very much?"

"You may not believe it." Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, "I have been to Ge'an Villa no less than ten times, but I have never seen that Master Qi."

"That is to say, he may not know about your friendship with Mrs. Qi?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, "I don't know about that, but that Hongyu girl was right in saying something last night, the relationship between Mrs. Qi and Master Qi is really not very harmonious." He smiled and said, "Otherwise I am such a good friend, how could I not introduce it to my husband-in-law!"

After he finished speaking, both of them laughed, and Yingcao looked back and forth a few times, not knowing where the point of laughter was.

What Lu Xiaofeng said was very clear, I don't know what kind of old master Qi is, but Mrs. Qi is obviously guarding against her husband.Moreover, before Mrs. Qi passed away, she only asked Lu Xiaofeng to take care of her son, but she didn't say that she even took care of her son. Does it mean that this old lady who has been shrewd all her life has already guessed something?

Near noon, everyone finally saw this Master Qi.He looked pampered and in very good spirits, in stark contrast to the listless servants.A few people were kicked out without saying a few words. The old man said that he was tired and wanted to take a nap.

After returning to the guest room, the three of them continued to discuss the matter behind closed doors. Lu Xiaofeng said, "Master Qi is really in good health. He ate well and slept soundly. His complexion is much better than his son's."

Hua Manlou also laughed and said, "Believe it or not, it's impossible to be too peaceful about such a thing as haunting."

"Indeed, unless he knows who the ghost is, or who is doing it."

"Maybe he is a ghost himself." A gentle girlish voice said.

The two of them were taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the little girl.

Yingcao pointed to Master Qi's yard, and then pointed to Qi Donglin's yard, "Last night, he went to that maid's room, and he came out of the ground."

"...the father and the maid in the son's room have an affair... This is the first time I have seen such a lustful and hungry ghost..." Lu Xiaofeng muttered to himself... He wanted to run away, but he couldn't figure out why he was investigating the poisoning case. The more I check, the more I gossip...

Hua ManLou raised his forehead, and for the first time he felt that the little girl should be kept away from Lu XiaoFeng... What is this all about? Are people in Jiang Hu so careless nowadays?

In the end, Lu Xiaofeng, who had a lot of experience, recovered first, "So, Hongyu is pregnant with Master Qi's child? But yesterday she said a lot of things that were not good for Master Qi? Are they all misleading?"

Hua Manlou also said: "Today in that Master Qi's room, I also heard voices coming from the ground. If Master Qi walked through the tunnel yesterday, then maybe the tunnel was dug by Master Qi."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "The tunnel must have been dug after Mrs. Qi's death, and it may be almost finished."

"Since it was inside Miss Hongyu's house who went through the tunnel, then this girl must know about it."

"So, we can ask this insider." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, and he walked to the door and said to the servant outside: "The tea made by Miss Hongyu last night is really mouth-watering, my two friends They are all tea lovers, can I invite Miss Hongyu to make another pot?"

"The guest will wait for a while." The young man saluted and trotted away.

Hua Manlou smiled slightly, "So straightforward... aren't you afraid to startle the snake?"

Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to smile bitterly, "I wish I could hurry up and startle the snake so that the master can be kicked out, who has the patience to know these things..."

Hua Manlou said narrowly: "If you make a promise, you must keep it for a lifetime. Who makes you have many friends? Sometimes it is inevitable to get involved in some troublesome things."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and shook his head.This really has to be guarded for the rest of his life, if it is Master Qi who poisoned him, even if the truth is found out, there is nothing he can do, a word of filial piety can crush Qi Donglin to death.In the future, I can only watch Qi Dong leave and get poisoned again, or wait for him to be poisoned and find him a good doctor?

Yingcao continued to secretly observe the two people. In her past life, she had never seen such a way of getting along.When monsters meet, they usually fight, and even if they occasionally make friends, they get together less and leave more.There is no way, the lives of monsters are too long, and even if the strong feelings are diluted in this long time, they will become cold.And after following Master Seimei, he ran around every day on the road to save Heianjing. Although he got along well with his companions, there was really no such slapstick friendship.

Is this human friendship?Yingcao looked at the two with some envy, no wonder so many monsters are willing to be friends with humans, it is really warm...

"What is Xiaocao thinking?" Lu Xiaofeng teased her, probably because the little girl looked gentle and dull, so even if he knew that the little girl was not human, he still liked to tease her for nothing.

Yingcao thought for a while and asked the two of them, "Is it because human life is too short that you value so much?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked back: "Do you know what we value?"

Yingcao said honestly: "Money, food, feelings."

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Xiaocao is too right. In this life, people value not only money but also food and love... But there is one thing wrong. In fact, money and food are the same thing. Money and food are the same thing. It’s for eating, and eating well is for making money... As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world’s hustle and bustle is for profit..."

Yingcao nodded, just about to say something, but suddenly jumped off the stool with a little excitement, and said, "There is a gardenia blooming nearby, I'm going to see it!"

The two nodded quickly, Lu Xiaofeng squinted his eyes strangely, and wanted to make some jokes, but when he turned around, he saw Hua Manlou frowned slightly, with a helpless expression on his face.

Lu Xiaofeng knew what he was thinking, he was thinking about the phrase "Human life is too short".Most people who practice martial arts live longer, but this longevity is far worse than that of ordinary people and monsters.If Huamanlou really had a heart for the little girl, how could he have the heart to leave her wandering alone for such a long time?

Thinking of this, he sighed.Compared with not being able to ask for it, it is more painful to know each other and not be able to stay together!

Hua Manlou smiled instead, he shook his head, his expression relaxed, and he said, "You don't have to be sad, let alone for me, I didn't ask for anything in the first place."

"What if... she also has feelings for you?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Ah Ying is pure and kind by nature...I guess she is not too old among the monster clan, if she is not seduced by someone, she must not have such thoughts."

Lu Xiaofeng felt a little uncomfortable, leaned on the back of the chair and smiled intentionally: "The little girl is innocent and cute, she possesses supernatural powers, even if you don't act, it's hard to keep other people's eyesight."

Hua Manlou smiled: "Although Ah Ying is innocent, her intuition is very accurate. What's more... can we let her go?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng sighed again.He knew that Hua Manlou was not pretending to be a gesture, but really wanted to open up, but it was precisely because of this that he had a sense of absurdity that good people rarely get rewarded.He also didn't expect that his friend fell in love with such an impossible person.

A knock on the door broke the silence of the room.

Miss Hongyu walked in, followed by Yingcao with a satisfied face.

Lu Xiaofeng got up and closed the door, jokingly said: "Miss Hongyu is really good at hospitality, we were eagerly waiting for her fragrant tea, but she came empty-handed."

Hongyu also laughed, "Although Hongyu is dull, but after all, it has been practiced by the old lady for many years. The old lady once said that the host should treat guests politely, and it is also polite for the guest to be a guest. , it must be because you want to eat meat, if you ask for water, it must be because you want to drink... You guys asked Hongyu to make tea, so Hongyu came to ask... Do you have anything to ask your servant? ?”

Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly, "I didn't expect Miss Hongyu to be so eloquent, as expected, Mrs. Qi came out... I just don't know, after the death of Mrs. Qi, Miss, you became Brother Qi's person, or Master Qi's person ?”

Hongyu was startled, her face suddenly turned pale, she dropped the handkerchief in her hand, and looked at the crowd in horror.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't bear it, and besides, the girl was still pregnant, so he said gently: "Don't be afraid, we brought a genius doctor with us on this trip, and the genius doctor can tell you are pregnant at a glance, so we thought about asking You... According to my understanding of Brother Qi, even if you are lovers and concubines, you are absolutely in love, but I am entrusted by Mrs. Qi to find out the truth about Brother Qi's poisoning, so I have no choice. I don’t want to ask you: Who is the father of the child?”

Hongyu's eyes turned red, and tears fell down her cheeks. After a long time, she tremblingly said: "Master...forced me..."
