According to the government, it is very spiritual. Generally speaking, according to this plot, a single seedling must be left behind.
The two of them were talking in low voices when they soon arrived at Mo's residence. As soon as they entered the street, they found it unusually quiet. There were almost no pedestrians passing by, and even people passing by in the alleys nearby were in a hurry.
“Ouch~”
The carriage stopped. Boss Wu looked at Chen Li, then at the somewhat dilapidated gate. "Do we have to go in?"
Chen Li smiled at him, "Uncle Wu, you forgot that we were refugees before. We have seen all kinds of monsters and demons along the way."
Yes!
"I was just too worried. How about this? Uncle Wu will go in with you."
I just called myself uncle, this Shen girl. It’s not good to let a little girl go in alone.
Seeing that he was obviously very scared but tried hard to pretend to be calm, Shen Li put on a nice smile on her lips, "Uncle Wu, you stay here and watch the carriage. Just wait for me. I will be out soon."
"You..." Aren't you afraid of being alone?
He swallowed the last few words. He dared to go in alone, so he must not be afraid.
I've given it my all. I'm old now and can't understand what these young people are thinking, so I'd better not make things worse.
"Okay, then be careful. If anything happens, just yell."
"Um."
Chen Li took the key from his hand and walked towards the slightly open door. Seven or eight years is enough time for a once prosperous and bustling mansion to decline.
Judging from the gate and the stone lions at the entrance, one can still see the former prosperity of the shogunate, but now the gate is dilapidated and the lock on it cannot be removed, which can't stop people who want to enter.
There were a lot of unknown liquids on the door, and a bit of sealing paper remained on the door, all of which told of its decline.
Although the lock couldn't stop it, she still had to show respect. She picked up the copper key and opened the door. With a "creak", the scene inside slowly appeared in front of her.
No one had opened the door for a long time, and a cloud of dust blew in. Chen Li stepped back when pushing the door to avoid inhaling the dust.
The inside of the gate was overgrown with weeds, not only the flowers next to it, but even the blue brick road was covered with weeds more than one meter tall.
Maybe someone took care of it in the past, but ever since rumors of it being haunted began to spread, no one has come to clean the house anymore. No wonder it hasn't been sold for so many years.
He turned around and waved to Uncle Wu outside, then walked in without hesitation.
Chen Li walked around for a while. This was a house with five courtyards. After so many years of wind and sun, and no one to maintain it, it was basically scrapped.
However, you can still vaguely see its original appearance, which is still quite good. I believe it will be still quite good after spending money to repair it.
After all, the location is here.
Chen Li looked around and didn't find anything special. However, there was a yard that had become a living place for stray cats, with more than a dozen kittens in it.
"Meow~"
Chen Li walked over and observed carefully. The cats were a little wary of his sudden appearance, but not much.
We also found several cat bowls and water in the yard. It seemed that someone was keeping this cat here.
Haha, this is interesting!
This house is haunted and no one dares to approach it. Who keeps a cat here?
Chen Li spread out her mental power, but did not find anyone inside. However, the wall behind the house had collapsed, and it was large enough for an adult to pass through.
There are four secret rooms, three of which have been searched and are empty, and there is a very small place that seems to have not been discovered, with a box hidden inside.
After making an unexpected discovery, Chen Li withdrew his mental strength and walked over there.
At this moment, Pei Yu and Tian Qing stood outside the damaged wall. "Master, this is the Mo residence. Should we go in now or at night?"
"Now, let's go."
"yes."
After finally finishing the trivial matters in the capital, he learned that the account book was in the Mo Mansion, so it was natural for him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to look for the account book.
Tianqing thought to himself that the master was so anxious this time that three horses died along the way. It seemed that the matter was settled this time.
Chen Li walked through the overgrown garden and came to a yard. She walked straight into the room, opened the broken dressing table, raised her fingers and tapped the floor tiles lightly.
"Knock~"
The sound coming from someone indicated that there was nothing underneath the floor tiles.
The floor tiles were pried open to reveal a box underneath. The shell was not locked. Chen Li opened it and saw several account books. They were hidden so secretly, it seemed that these account books were not simple!
Otherwise, just put it back!
Just as she was about to stuff it back, she noticed someone approaching outside the yard. When Chen Li hid behind the bed, she released her mental power to take a look, and haha, it was actually an acquaintance.
It’s been less than two months since we last saw each other. How come we meet again so soon?
Tsk, this person can't just come here for no reason.
Chen Li suddenly remembered the wooden box in her hand. She couldn't have come here just for this thing, right?
Thinking of this, she held her breath and wanted to see what the master and servant were up to.
Tianqing walked in and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the footprints in the room. When he saw the empty dressing table and the empty floor, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Master, this..."
The duck that was in hand flew away!
Pei Yu also saw it. His face was a little gloomy at the moment, and his eyes were full of violence. How could this be?
The place hadn't had time to recover yet, and this guy was just one step ahead of him. Could there be another traitor around him?
"who?"
A sharp gaze turned to the back of the bed. Tianqing also drew his own knife and stood alert, then shouted, "Come out!"
Just as Chen Li was about to step out, she heard the sound of wind by her ears, and saw Pei Yu holding a sword through the bed curtain, attacking her fiercely.
Wow!
Chen Li quickly dodged, this was no joke.
When Pei Yu saw clearly the person hiding behind the bed, he suddenly loosened his strength and changed the direction of the sword in his hand.
“Miss Shen!”
Chen Li still took a few steps away. When she heard his voice, she looked up, only to find that the man suddenly changed direction and rushed straight towards her. She was caught off guard and was hugged by him.
The tip of my nose was filled with the faint scent of pine from the man's clothes.
"Hmm~"
Tianqing heard the noise and ran over. Seeing this scene, he quickly turned his back. Do not look or listen to anything indecent...
Chen Li stepped on his boots, and instantly her footprints were left on the clean boots.
"let go!"
Is this person addicted to hugging?
Pei Yu couldn't play dumb anymore, so he relaxed his left hand and took a few steps back. "Did I hit you?"
Chen Li touched her nose with one hand. Is this man wearing armor?
I almost got a nosebleed!
