The night slowly spreads over Mo Mansion. A few candles are like a dim light on the sea, which cannot illuminate the night. Instead, they reflect the sky of the trees, the pavilions, and the vast and deep courtyards, emitting a feeling that is earlier than autumn. Cold meaning.
Cheng Ting sat in the second hall, facing the cool breeze, and ate four bowls of rice. After eating, he burped, looked up at the sky, and felt that his stomach and heart were heavy.
He stood up holding his belly and walked slowly to the front hall. He thought about everything that had just happened in the room and closed his mouth tightly to prevent his words from escaping out as soon as his upper lip touched his lower lip. .
My uncle woke up and he was one of the few people who knew.
His uncle asked him to keep the secret. If he spilled the beans, Yin Nan would not hesitate to take action and sew his mouth forever.
He saw the big yellow dog lying by the door, so he squatted over, took a handful of it, and whispered: "Uncle, let me tell you..."
The big yellow dog dared to be his father, but he didn't dare to pick on his uncle. He stood up on his four legs and swayed away.
Cheng Ting was dumbfounded and watched the big yellow dog go away. He could only stand up and walk out. As he walked, he was secretly excited.
His uncle entrusted him with an important task!
He has lived in the cracks of the Cheng family for many years and suffered a lot of abuse. Cheng Taishan had a blind eye but did not recognize Taishan, thinking that he was just a master and a talented person. Now it seems that he is still an uncle who has a sharp eye and knows a hero.
Cheng Ting, who was still worried just now, immediately gathered up all his strength and walked along the avenue to the front hall. As he walked, he turned his wrist and secretly said that he would never let down his uncle's expectations. If the killer dared to come, he would dare to slap the killer out.
While walking, he heard the intermittent sound of the xun. It was the Qiang people brought back by Mo Lingfeng who were playing the xun while hiding under the Lingxiao flower stand. Read the book
The music is out of tune, and the sound of the xun is hoarse and mocking.
He also thought that everyone in the fortress should learn to play the xun. When the Jinlu soldiers came to the city, they all took out the xun and blew them to death.
He walked into the front hall with all kinds of strange thoughts, where Pang Dahai was waiting with clothes.
"Haidai," Cheng Ting collected a few unique snacks and wrapped them up to bring to Xu Huiran, "Don't leave yet, you go change into Mofu's clothes."
He turned around and found someone to get a short green and brown suit, and then whispered in Fatty's ear: "Miss Mo brought back a Qiang man, who has his hair braided. He should be playing the xun under the towering flower stand outside the study. Come over, Sneak up to him and show your face, don't let him catch you."
Pang Dahai was very loyal to the Third Master and changed into his clothes without saying a word.
Cheng Ting lowered his voice: "If you show up, leave the house and go back. Don't tell anyone."
"Don't worry, Third Master." Pang Dahai picked up the broom from the corner and went to the Lingxiao flower stand.
Cheng Ting watched Fatty Dahai tiptoeing forward, and remembered Mo Qianlan's words, "Qiang people are as keen as eagles and can detect anything strange."
To force out the killer hiding in the dark, Mo Qianlan only used a Qiang man, Zell. He used Zell as a thread, and with a gentle tug, he could pull the thread of the entire conspiracy.
No one was better suited than Zell to "discover" the killer.
Cheng Ting walked out of the front hall, waiting for the opportunity. At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart - Mo Qianlan woke up from his drowsiness, but he could still clearly know that there was an extra Zell next to Mo Lingfeng. Could it be that he could listen when he was asleep? Talk to others?
If Mo Qianlan was not ignorant and could hear all the sounds outside, then every moment he spent lying in bed would be torture.
It's like a conscious soul trapped in a body that cannot escape, unable to speak, move, or see, leaving only endless loneliness.
Along the corridor outside the study room, soaring flowers fill the wall shelves, and the branches and vines are like two dragons facing each other. The flowers and leaves are fluttering, green and red, swaying in the wind under the moonlight and lights. Zell sits under the shadow of the flowers, listening to the wind blowing the leaves. Magpie birds sing and fly, adjusting the tune little by little.
The scene he admired would soon wither away.
A servant spread incense in the study, blew out the candles everywhere, put out the incense sticks, closed the doors and windows, and finally put on the copper fish locks.
Even if no one enters or exits the study, servants will always clean it to prevent dust from contaminating the bookshelves and causing pests and ants to infest.
When the servants came out, they also brought out the precious fragrance. As they passed by Zell, the fragrance swarmed in, overpowering the rich smell of grass and trees, and penetrated his nose.
Even if the servants leave, the fragrance still flows out from the cracks in the doors and windows, and flowers bloom all the way.
Zell liked smelling this fragrance very much, and Mo Lingfeng was also smelling this fragrance. When he put on the armor, he would often think that it was soft flowers blooming on the cold armor.
Mo Lingfeng was still unconscious, but he knew she would wake up - the Qiang people knew more about bows and arrows than the Han people. He believed that he had taken out the arrow completely and Mo Lingfeng would not die as a result.
But the second hall was overcrowded and there was no place for him to stay, so he could only hide here and ask God to bless Mo Lingfeng to get well soon.
The smell of potpourri lasted for a long time. A servant carried a broom and placed the fallen leaves on both sides of the bluestone path as he walked. When passing Zell, he raised his head and his eyes met Zell's instantly.
Zell had never seen the servant's eyes in Mo Mansion.
The servant always lowers his head, his eyes falling in front of him, no more than three steps away.
This man in short green and brown clothes had an ordinary face and a slender build. He quickly lowered his head, picked up a broom as if nothing had happened, and left the place.
Zell felt something was wrong, immediately stood up, and chased him two steps away. However, this man had already reached a dark place where the candlelight could not reach, and disappeared in a flash.
He put away the xun and hurried to the second hall. The lights in the second hall were bright and the smell of medicine was strong. The servants stood with their heads bowed. The nanny and aunts had already retreated into the west wing. Li Yitie was sitting on the corridor of the east wing, thinking about the prescription.
There was obviously no sound, but Zell felt noisy. Yin Bei crossed his arms and sat on the corridor, leaning against the pillar with his eyes closed to relax. When he heard someone coming in, he looked over with lightning eyes.
Seeing it was Zell, he closed his eyes again.
Zell walked to the stone steps, took a long stride, walked up the three stone steps, stood next to Yin Bei, and lowered his voice: "A real face has come in."
Yin Bei raised his head suddenly and his voice rose uncontrollably: "Where is it?"
Li Yitie looked over, and Yin Bei quickly stood up, hiding the look of shock on his face, and at the same time walked to the window with his feet and knocked lightly.
"Anan."
Yin Nan's calm voice came from the window: "Say."
"A stranger has come in, please guard the young man and the young lady."
"knew."
The room became quiet again, and Yin Bei walked to Zell with a solemn face: "Where did you see it?"
Zell answered truthfully: "Outside the study, he became suspicious when he saw me and disappeared."
"Don't run around." Yin Bei stepped down the stone steps, walked out of the second hall, and quietly went to gather people, hoping to catch the turtle in the jar.
Zell also walked out, looking for those abrupt eyes - Mo Lingfeng was his enemy and he couldn't let her die in the hands of others.
