The Chenghuang Temple Fair caused an uproar in the city. The government ordered a thorough investigation of the people of the demon sect, and the cruel rumors about mortals becoming demons became more and more powerful.
Song Mu and Zhu headed home. Thinking of the scene just now, they felt a little scared along the way.
"Brother Mu, this is still too dangerous now. From now on, let's not go to crowded places like that and concentrate on studying at the county school."
On the way, Mrs. Zhu warned Song Mu like this, and Song Mu naturally nodded in agreement.
Nowadays, Shiyang County is looking like a storm is coming, which makes Song Mu feel a little worried.
After returning home, the second uncle looked anxiously at the door of the house early. Seeing Song Mu and others emerging from the alley, he hurried over to check on Song Mu and others.
"Brother Mu, it scared me to death. I was working on the wall in the south of the city, and suddenly I heard someone said that something was going on in the west of the city. I watched the crowds running around in Chenghuang Street from a distance, thinking that you were there too... "
Song Liangda's chubby face was full of sorrow. It was only at this moment that he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three of them were safe.
"Second uncle, don't worry. We encountered that incident, but we discovered it in advance and walked away." Song Mu quickly helped his second uncle, who was a little weak in the legs, to go into the courtyard.
Song Mingwei hugged Song Liangda happily at this moment and said in a sweet voice.
"Dad, my eldest brother was there today to help catch the bad guys. He just took a pen and wrote on the paper, and like an old god, he sent out big white clouds, and those guys who were beating people stopped moving."
Yaya's eyes lit up when she said this, but Song Liangda was so excited when he heard these words that he quickly turned to look at Song Mu.
"Brother Mu, is this true? Didn't you just leave with your second aunt without saying anything?"
Song Mu grinned. He didn't expect the little girl to betray him right now, so he could only respond.
"It's not dangerous. I just wrote a Qingming poem casually. I didn't get close to it from beginning to end. Later, Master Jiayu came too."
"That won't work. You are just a child now. Those people are very cruel and will kill people!"
"Brother Mu, you must stay away from this kind of thing in the future!"
Song Liangda's attitude towards this matter was extremely tough, and he almost spoke to Song Mu in a commanding tone.
Song Mu naturally lowered his head and agreed. Ever since his father died, his second uncle had regarded him as the most precious thing and nothing could go wrong. It was human nature for him to do this.
However, when encountering that kind of situation, it is up to Song Mu to decide what to do.
After helping Song Liangda rest in the courtyard for a while, Song Liangda was ready to go back to work, while Zhu took Yaya to do the work in the courtyard. Seeing that it was getting late, Song Mu also got up and prepared to go to the county school.
"I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword... to see the prosperity of the world..."
Song Mu was humming a tune while packing things in the room. Recalling today's chaos, although Song Mu only helped a small amount, he felt quite a sense of accomplishment.
This is the first time that I have actively used poetry to fight in a real sense, and achieved good results.
Who said that literati Tongsheng has no fighting ability.
Song Mu hummed a song and put his book bag in his pocket, ready to go out, but suddenly paused when he stepped out of the threshold.
Then Song Mu turned his eyes left and right, returned to the room with a somewhat surprised expression, and suddenly raised his head upwards.
On the beam of the house, a person was sitting swaying on it, looking at Song Mu with two small eyes.
"You..." Song Mu was speechless.
Sitting on the beam is Li Mo'er, the poet of the Li family, who has been missing for the past few days.
At this moment, she was looking at Song Mu with squinted eyes. When she saw Song Mu's expression of surprise, she waved her hand and the door was gently closed. Li Mo'er fell down and made a silent gesture towards Song Mu who was standing there blankly. gesture.
At this moment, Li Mo'er was still dressed like a Qingtian Guard, but she looked a bit dusty.
Song Mu looked at the other party blankly, saw the other party looking around, then looked at him again, and then asked in a low voice.
"Miss Mo'er, why are you here?"
"Well -, it's a long story. Anyway, Mr. Song, I'd like you to take shelter here." Li Mo'er said calmly, sat down on the chair next to him, and looked around like a golden sword.
"Mr. Song, this place is really rundown. Don't you think the wooden bed will feel uncomfortable when you sleep at night?"
Li Mo'er curled her lips and said, then she took Song Mu's teapot on the table and drank the water without any courtesy.
Song Mu was a little stunned when he saw this thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl behaving like this, completely lacking the ladylike appearance of the past and the heroic Jinshi demeanor that night. However, he quickly said respectfully.
"Scholars don't pay attention to these things, but Miss Mo'er, shouldn't you have left Shiyang County? Why are you still here?"
Song Mu was very confused, but Li Moer didn't answer anything at all. Instead, he looked outside the yard and then spoke.
"Master, do your family members often come in this room?"
Song Mu frowned and shook his head.
"My second uncle and my aunt will not disturb my study, and I usually eat in the kitchen."
Li Moer nodded with satisfaction, but Song Mu suddenly realized something and asked.
"Miss Mo'er came to me, presumably because of something?"
Li Mo'er grinned, then swayed on the chair leisurely and whispered.
"Well, I've been tired from running around recently. Let's take a rest here, Master. Of course, Master, please don't tell anyone else."
"Then I don't know how long we should take a break for?" Song Mu asked through gritted teeth, already feeling that Li Moer had some purpose for appearing here.
"Well, I don't know. Probably, maybe, anyway, it's just, um... I'll leave when the time comes."
Li Moer said incoherently, looking at Song Mu with a pair of innocent eyes, and then asked with a grin on his face.
"Mr. Song, you won't even do this small favor, right?"
Song Mu shook his head, raised his hands and said, "Miss Mo'er said this to offend Song Mu, but single men and widows cannot live together in the same room. If Miss Mo'er wants to find a place to live, Song can help. "
"Hmph." Li Mo'er snorted coldly, not giving Song Mu any face at all.
"No, it's just fine here."
Li Mo'er seemed to have thought of something again, and said to Song Mu again.
"Don't tell this news to anyone. I believe you can do it, okay?"
At this point, Song Mu naturally understood what Li Moer was going to do.
She might have sneaked into Shiyang County quietly, maybe it was something related to the Qingtian Guards, and she planned to just lurk here without alerting the snake.
Reminiscent of the killing of the fox demon before and what happened today on Chenghuang Temple Street, Song Mu didn't think it was a bad thing for a Jinshi to live here.
And Li Moer seemed to have seen through Song Mu's thoughts, shaking his head and said.
"It's good if you understand, sir. Also, when I'm here from now on, please keep yourself safe."
Song Mu grinned and wanted to say why he was so unclean, but when the words came to his lips, he just cupped his hands.
"Then Song will take his leave. We still have homework to learn in the county school today."
"Go." Li Moer waved his hand, looking a little indifferent. Song Mu pursed his lips, turned and walked towards the door.
"Wait." At this time, Li Mo'er suddenly said again. Song Mu stopped and turned his head, only to hear Li Mo'er say.
"When you come back, please remember to come back with a pound of vinegar."
Song Mu's face was full of astonishment, and he could see that the other party had a calm expression. His brows furrowed, and he could only nod helplessly, and opened the door and went out.
Li Moer watched Song Mu leave the yard, but his expression changed a bit. He took out a rag from his arms and murmured.
"Let's see how you hide this time."
