Master Shen coughed, and the gray on his face faded: “This is my eldest daughter, Yijun. Yijun, this is the son of Tang Zhou Tang, and this girl Yan Dan is the younger sister of Tang son.”
Shen Yijun walked to the table and stared at Tang Zhou firmly: “So it was you? What did you sneak up on at my house last night?”
Yan Dan was very envious. It would be great if she could also talk to Tang Zhou arrogantly, but she didn’t dare yet.
Master Shen came to the round immediately: “Yijun, Young Master Tang is a guest, how do you speak?”
Tang Zhou said indifferently: “I heard a cry last night. I thought it was very familiar, so I followed the sound and looked at it. As a result, I saw the senior Ling Xuzi and Ling Ai.”
Master Shen looked at his eldest daughter and said angrily: “Now Master Tang has made it clear, so you can rest assured?”
Yan Dan looked at Master Shen and then at Shen Yijun. He always felt that there was something wrong with him. As for what was wrong, he couldn’t think of it for a while. I saw Shen Yijun suddenly looked over, her eyes still fierce: “Our Shen family has nothing to entertain the two of us, so let’s leave early.”
Master Shen stomped his feet with anger: “Shut up! You, you, you… I’m really mad at me!”
Shen Yijun looked back coldly, then the corner of his mouth moved, revealing a strange smile, and turned and walked out of the flower hall.
Yan Dan supported his chin and quietly leaned in and said softly, “Tang Zhou, what did you do to this Miss Shen last night? She looked at you with a fierce look.”
Tang Zhou glanced at her sideways, without speaking.
Master Shen’s face turned red and white, and he smiled reluctantly: “You guys, really… poor hospitality, poor hospitality.” He rubbed his hands, as if trying to phrase: “Yijun has been withdrawn since she was a child. I’m a little colder, and I blame my father for not optimizing her.”
Tang Zhou smiled slightly: “Actually, it’s nothing, Master Shen, I think it’s almost time for business. It’s just to get rid of ghosts. The best time is at noon, which is also the time when the yang energy of the day is at its peak. From now on At noon, no one can approach the courtyard.”
Master Shen nodded: “I wonder what else Young Master Tang needs? I’ll let the servants prepare to go immediately.”
Tang Zhou said lightly: “It’s enough to have my junior sister help.”
Yan Dan immediately looked at Tang Zhou warily. She has now been blocked by most of the demon technique, and the remaining point is extremely precious, and half of it cannot be wasted on him.
The two turned back to the courtyard along the promenade, and they really didn’t see a single figure along the way. It can be seen that Master Shen had ordered them. Tang Zhou suddenly asked: “Do you go to bury flowers on weekdays?”
Yan Dan looked at him with a choked expression: “Have you seen a female ghost burying flowers last night? The resentful spirits here are very weak, and they won’t turn into ghosts at all, let alone take shape for you to see. Moreover, this kind of thing that a mortal woman would do to hurt the spring and sad autumn, I definitely wouldn’t do it.”
Tang Zhou said lightly: “It is a man who buries the flowers. If a woman does this, I will naturally not ask you.”
Yan Dan suddenly heard the thorn in his words, and muttered softly: “Since you are a man, why don’t you ask yourself…” She took two steps and suddenly asked, “Is it, is it Master Shen?”
Tang Zhou hummed softly.
Yan Dan shook his finger: “I can give you two ideas now. First, from now on, no matter what you notice, you will treat it as if you haven’t seen it, and leave as soon as you are done. This is the most convenient way. One road is also the safest. Second, delay for some time. As long as someone has done some things, there will always be traces left, and there will eventually be a day when things will come to light. This road is the most dangerous, and you may not have touched it. The truth is dead. So I think it’s better to go the first way.”
“I also think the first way is better.” A cold voice suddenly floated. Yan Dan quickly took a step back. Tang Zhou looked ahead, and saw a slender figure of a woman leaning against the door of the moon cave outside the courtyard, with a gloomy face and vaguely fierce eyes. It was Shen Yijun.
Shen Yijun pulled the corner of her mouth and revealed a weird smile: “The people who are near here are already the living dead, do you still want to become the real dead?”
Watching Shen Yijun’s back disappear at the end of the corridor, Tang Zhou tapped his scabbard with his fingers, and suddenly he strode towards the courtyard as if he had made some determination. All puzzles begin here, and they will surely find clues here.
Yan Dan suddenly raised his hand to hold his sleeve, and whispered softly, “You wait a moment.”
Tang Zhou looked down at her: “What?”
She said leisurely: “Let’s first think about Miss Shen’s intentions. When she was in Hua Ting, she had already said that we should leave here. Now she came here to say it again, and we still have to wait without telling Master Shen. Here. So, it can be imagined that she must know the mystery, but she can’t tell it. Then the secrets in this house must be incredible.”
Tang Zhou nodded: “Perhaps what she knows is not complete, it’s just a rough idea.”
Yan Dan hummed, then said: “Then why did she come to remind us of this? Since this secret is in her home, it is likely to be related to her family. Why should she favor outsiders?”
“Then there are two possibilities. Maybe she was kind enough to remind us not to take risks. Or, she didn’t want us to find out what happened, so she threatened.”
Yan Dan smiled slightly: “As expected, brother, it’s really sharp to see things.”
Tang Zhou seemed to smile, and walked into the courtyard again: “Really.” Yan Dan sighed behind him: “In fact, there may be a third reason. She knows that there are people, and thinks she is very Great, knowing that there is danger ahead, she would still jump in to find out the truth. The more mysterious she said, the more the person wanted to do the opposite and jump into the dug trap without hesitation.”
Tang Zhou turned his head and looked at her: “Do you think I will jump into someone else’s trap without hesitation?”
Yan Dan thought for a while, and said honestly: “No.”
“Yan Dan, in fact, you really want to know what this is all about? From the bizarre deaths of people in Qingshi Town, to seeing things in the cemetery, and finally to the Shen family, there must be some connection. I. Is that correct?”
Yan Dan thought about it and had to admit: “Yes.” However, compared to the secrets, she wanted to get rid of Tang Zhou as soon as possible. If Tang Zhou died in the end, she would definitely remember to burn paper for him every Qingming. After all, she is still kind, pure and good conduct.
Seeing her confession, Tang Zhou continued: “I hope you can help me. After all, I can only trust you in the Shen family.”
Yan Dan was flattered: “You are already good enough. I’m afraid I don’t need any help, right?”
Tang Zhou smiled lightly and his eyes were clear and handsome: “The corpse you saw in the haystack before, please think about digging it out.”
Yan Dan was choked and coughed. It turned out that he had said before that people should not come close to the courtyard to dig the corpse. She has a sad look and a soft voice: “Although I am a demon, but after all, I am a woman, you can bear to let me do this kind of rough work?”
Tang Zhou was surprised: “Aren’t the men and women of the flower essence the same?”
“Where did you hear it? How could this be the same?”
“That doesn’t matter. I recognize you until now, and I have never regarded you as a woman.”
Yan Dan gritted his teeth, and it took a long time to suffocate: “You…really good.”
Yan Dan squatted by the side of the pit, looking at the dense and white bones inside. She watched for a while, then turned to look at Tang Zhou, but found that he was looking at herself with complicated expressions. Seeing her looking over, Tang Zhou quickly turned his head and looked at the other side. Yan Dan wanted to regard this scene as “Tang Zhou suddenly repented and was moved by her wisdom and appearance”, but she also knew that instead of waiting for Tang Zhou to be moved by her, it would be easier for Zi Lin to care about her suddenly.
At least Zilin was still a demon with a normal mind, and Tang Zhousheng was cold, hard and hard, and harder to beat than the colorful stone that Nuwa used to patch the sky.
After a while, Tang Zhou suddenly asked: “You only have half a heart?”
Yan Dan couldn’t help sitting on the ground, raising his hand and shaking his eyes: “Tang Zhou, are you evil? Or are you suffering from a cold? Do you feel dizzy?”
Tang Zhou slapped her hand away: “It’s okay, I just ask casually.”
Yan Dan looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly became interested: “If I say, I only have half my heart left, do you believe it?”
Tang Zhou squinted at her, “Do you think I can believe it?”
Yan Dan stretched out her hand: “I also asked casually.” She stood up and brushed the ashes on her body: “Besides this skeleton, I am afraid there is something else under the ground. Do you want to have each one? Dig up and have a look?” She turned and walked away for two steps, after thinking about it, and then turning around: “I’ll go sit by the lotus pond over there, and you will slowly think about it here. Something you can’t figure out, maybe I can tell you the answer that is closest to the truth.”
Tang Zhou looked down at the skeleton, there were no scars, and it seemed that he had not suffered any harm before his death. But if this is the case, why are there so many resentful spirits in this house? He thought of two sisters Shen Yijun and Shen Xiangjun. They looked so similar, but they could be recognized at a glance. What is the purpose of what Shen Yijun said before? Is it a warning, an exorcism, or a trap? Since Master Shen will bury flowers here, he should have seen this skeleton, why has he never mentioned it?
He used the scabbard to re-cover the soil on one side of the bones, and suddenly thought that the soil here is so messy, it must be because of frequent excavation and stirring, and the thick bones are buried so shallow, I am afraid that it will be buried soon. The time when the Shen family moved to Qingshi Town is not too short. They may indeed not know that someone died violently in the house, but how could they not know the origin of this skeleton?
He wanted to clarify his thoughts, but he couldn’t connect one thing after another.
Tang Zhou stood up and walked aimlessly around in the courtyard. He saw Yan Dan sitting on the edge of the lotus pond. He got a handful of fish food from nowhere and threw it into the pool. The fish wagged its tail to swim. Come and compete.
He walked over and stood beside Yan Dan.
Yan Dan fed the fish for a while, then smiled and asked, “I can understand what the fish said, do you believe it?”
She said this when she entered the cemetery. Tang Zhou almost knew that when she spoke, the truth and the false must be spoken together, and at least half of the ten sentences were unbelievable. For example, if this sentence is spoken indiscriminately, then the next sentence must have some truth, the next sentence may be the truth, and the last sentence must be made up. Unless he loses his heart, he won’t take everything she says seriously.
Yan Dan sighed and said quietly, “You really don’t believe it. If you don’t believe me, I can understand the words of fish, but it is strange that someone can understand the language of birds.”
This sentence was exactly what he was thinking. Tang Zhou calmly said, “Second Girl Shen is always more credible than you, not to mention some people with different abilities.”
“These two Shen girls are compatriots, and I think they are also the least alike sisters in the world. Even people who have just met them can tell at a glance who is sister and who is sister. As far as I know, compatriots Sisters’ temperaments are not so different unless they are in very different situations, but they have been together since they were young.”
These few words are probably the truth. Tang Zhou nodded: “You know it clearly.”
Yan Dan looked far away: “Because I also have a sister, she and I were born almost exactly the same, many people will admit their mistakes.”
Tang Zhou said lightly: “Even if they look alike, there will still be differences.”
“Yeah, everyone will like her. She has the same look, but she looks very noble and gentle. When you talk to her, you don’t want to make jokes, you just want to tell the truth.” Yan Dan closed slightly. Upper eye, “But there will still be people who will admit their mistakes. Everyone will mistake me for her, but no one will mistake her for me.”
Tang Yiyi was stunned. From recognizing her until now, he has never seen her care about anything. Comparing heart to heart, he would not be able to stand it if it was changed, and no one would be willing to be the shadow of another person. Yan Dan stretched out his hand: “If you really sympathize with me, just remove this restriction.”
Tang Zhou looked at her, and slowly said, “I am a sister who sympathizes with you, but someone will mistake you for her.”
Yan Dan smiled slightly, bright eyes and white teeth: “This is no way. But as it seems now, after a hundred years, you might have a chance to see her. I’m afraid you will sympathize with her more then and even with me. She has the same face.” She threw the last bit of fish food in her hand into the lotus pond, her clothes fluttering, and she looked like a fairy from a distance.
