Li Huaiyun felt something was wrong, so he lowered his head and glanced at the jade pendant around his waist. Since entering the alley, the token had always maintained a little brightness.
The token has brightness, which means that there are monsters lurking nearby in the alley and even in the nearby area.
However, judging from the brightness, this monster's cultivation level is not high, and he should be able to handle it alone.
Li Huaiyun glanced at the lantern hanging at the door, then opened the door and walked inside.
This is a bungalow with a small yard. The decoration is simple and slightly outdated.
He walked straight forward and stood in the middle of the courtyard. In this cramped little courtyard, roses were planted with beautiful flowers on one side of the wall, and there was a well on the other side.
When Li Huaiyun walked to the house, he saw someone pushing the door out of the house.
When Li Huaiyun saw the person coming out of the house, he was stunned for a moment, then he sank down, gathered energy into his fists, and shouted loudly, "Who!"
They saw a woman wearing red cloth coming out of the house.
The woman's eyes met theirs, and her whole body trembled. She was also frightened, she quickly shrank back, clasped her hands on her chest, and asked sternly, "You... who are you? Why are you doing this?" Break into my house!”
Li Huaiyun was also a little puzzled. Didn't he say that no one lived in this place? Why are there women here?
He looked at this woman carefully. She was wearing ordinary red Hanfu, with a wooden hairpin in her hair. Her face was slightly rounded, with slender willow eyebrows and a small cherry mouth.
Even though she was wearing loose clothes, she still couldn't hide her plump figure, especially her voluptuous thighs and wide hips, which made her buttocks look even more upright.
This woman's beautiful face doesn't seem to appear in a place like this.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The woman shouted in a horrified voice, "This... I want to ask you again! Why did you appear in my home?"
"Your home? I heard others say that no one lives here, so I came to take a look!"
When the woman heard this, she was silent for a moment, with a gloomy look on her face, as if she had been greatly wronged.
She said with a sullen face, "All the women here say that. They all want me to die and are afraid that I will seduce their men. There is no one to live in. It's just that my man is no longer alive, so I can only let them spread rumors and bully me!"
"That's right!" Li Huaiyun thought for a moment. This woman is beautiful and her husband is dead. All the men around her have thoughts about her, and it is normal for women to be jealous and exclude her.
"You two, leave quickly, or I will report you to the police!"
Li Huaiyun winked at Mu Yuan and indicated that she should ask her. They were all women, so this woman would not be so vigilant.
Mu Yuan understood what Li Huaiyun meant. She also wanted to know the woman's tragic experience, so she comforted her, "Sister, don't be afraid. We are all women. I will help you."
"Humph! So what if they are all women, I won't believe these nonsense!"
This woman seemed to have been deceived by the group of women outside. Mu Yuan continued, "You are right if you don't believe it. I have also been deceived by those women who pretended to be kind. If it was not a crime of murder, I would have killed that bitch with a knife." ”
There was a hint of resentment in her voice, and she was definitely not pretending.
Li Huaiyun thought, what happened to Mu Yuan?
Mu Yuan's true feelings made the woman in front of him calm down.
"Have you ever had the same experience?"
"Yes!"
Mu Yuan continued to ask, "Sister! Can you tell us what happened? What did those people do? Why do you say this place is uninhabited?"
"Since my husband's death, people living nearby have been bullying me as a widow. Those people spread rumors and described me as a woman who can do anything for her husband. And those men desperately want to take advantage of me, and some even want to use me as a wife." Evicted from home to take possession of this house,"
The woman cried out in grievance, "I really have no choice. I wish I could throw myself into a well immediately."
Li Huaiyun looked at the well on the other side and found that the outer circle of the well was actually carved with Taoist charms and scriptures. At the same time, there was a Taoist charm paper affixed to the manhole cover.
He turned to look at the woman and found that there was nothing suspicious. "Since there is such injustice, then we will definitely report it to the government for you, so as to deter those with ulterior motives."
The woman didn't quite believe what he said and sighed, "Really? Faced with such injustice, I have already given up."
"Please rest assured, sister," Mu Yuan walked up and patted the woman's back gently, "If the government doesn't do anything, then I will directly report to Nahun... to the emperor."
"What? I'm just a peasant woman. How can I ask the emperor to help me?"
"You are in such a situation, why can't you ask the emperor to help you!"
Li Huaiyun frowned, why is this woman so confidant? It seems that she still has very little experience and has no contact with society.
When the woman heard what Mu Yuan said, she immediately pointed toward the house, "In this case, you two, please come into the house to discuss in detail, and you must seek justice for me."
The woman walked into the room and lit a candle on the table. The firelight shone on her face, giving her fair face a hint of oil.
Li Huai turned his head and looked at Mu Yuan. He asked softly, "What do you think? Is this woman suspicious?"
"It's suspicious. I just touched her back, and it felt soft and moist."
"Uh! Does that mean she's wet when touched?"
"That's probably the truth." Mu Yuan responded, "Just be careful in everything. I feel like this place is a bit evil."
"Yeah! Be careful."
The two of them walked into the house together. The furniture inside was of relatively good quality, and the floor and other places were also cleaned without any dust.
Li Huaiyun thought to himself that this woman pays great attention to hygiene.
The woman got two chairs from elsewhere, placed them in front of the table, and then said in a thin voice, "No one usually comes here, please sit down!"
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan sat on the chair. The legs of the chair were a bit uneven and tended to sway from side to side. Moreover, he felt that the chair should be used frequently, after all, the armrests were rubbed a little slickly.
There is a bowl of leftover rice on the table. It has turned a little yellow. It must have been there for a long time. There is a half-burned candle in the candlestick. The workmanship of this candle is not very good. From time to time, there will be a slight crackling sound, like burning. Like oil.
He looked around and saw a small table in the corner with a spiritual plaque on it. It was the spiritual tablet of the woman's husband. It had the man's last name written on it, Sun. There were three incense sticks in the incense burner, which were half-burned, and the fragrance was filled with them. The whole house.
Mrs. Sun brought two cups of tea, "You two, please use it slowly!"
Li Huaiyun picked up the tea and took a sip. As soon as he touched the water, he felt a chill surge through his body. There was an indescribable taste in the tea, with a slight fishy smell.
He put down the tea cup and said, "Madam, can you tell me in detail? Why do these people treat you like this? There are still people who want to occupy your house."
"It's not just the house, there are people who want to occupy me!" Ms. Sun said, her eyes filled with tears, "My husband was drafted into the army a year ago, but within half a year, news came that he had died."
"A year ago?" Li Huaiyun felt a little surprised by this. He turned to Mu Yuan and asked, "A year ago, there was an army recruitment?"
Mu Yuan shook her head, "I definitely don't know about this!"
"Madam, do you know what kind of army that is?"
"I don't know about that! He came back with some silver and told me that he was drafted into the army and he got a lot of salary every month!"
"I was still worried about whether I was going to the border! But he still didn't say anything. He only told me that I would have a good life in the future!"
"After those people found out that my husband was dead, they came to my home for various reasons and excuses. What can I do as a woman? I can only drive them away with a smile. It's fine if they take advantage of me. After all, shopping is all about shopping. , but also rely on these men.
When those women saw men like this, they felt embarrassed, so they tried their best to exclude me, and even poured sewage in front of my house. "
Sun covered her mouth with her hands, lowered her head, and began to sob softly.
"This is too much!" Mu Yuan knocked on the table hard, "I will definitely seek justice for you."
Really just highlight one thing and believe whatever the other person says! Li Huaiyun complained in his heart.
"Regarding this aspect, we will definitely go back to investigate. When the time comes, those people will be dealt with if the evidence is conclusive," Li Huaiyun thought for a moment, "By the way! There is one more thing I want to ask Madam. Last night, there was news here It was a loud noise, I don’t know if you heard it! I heard that many people heard it.”
"This..." Mrs. Sun looked embarrassed, her voice stuttered a bit, "I... I don't know what to say!"
"Madam, if you have anything to say, please say it!"
Sun lowered her head, still shaking her head slightly, her body was shaking a little, and she seemed to dare not speak.
Seeing this, Mu Yuan immediately comforted her, "Sister, don't be afraid of revenge. As long as there is any injustice, we will definitely help you and won't let you have any worries."
"Really?" Sun asked softly.
"certainly!"
"There is a temple near here that enshrines a god. On the fifteenth day of every month, people are required to go to serve the god. Since I was alone, the manager of the temple forced me to go!"
"What!" Mu Yuan knocked on the table hard again, "Such a thing still exists in Kyoto! Didn't you report it to the official?"
Mrs. Sun cried out in pain and responded in a weak voice, "How to repay? Do I no longer want to live here?"
"Serving the gods, in fact, the so-called gods are just people pretending to be gods, right?"
Sun nodded slowly, a look of pain appeared on her face whenever she thought about it.
"What does that have to do with the scream last night?"
