Chapter 21 The Right Ear

"Sir," Seeing Cheng Muyou walk into the mansion, Jiang Xixi hurriedly pulled Xun'er and walked towards him in a hurry, "What's going on? Have you found out the result?"

Cheng Muyou nodded slightly, then touched Xun'er's little head, "Be good, let the wet nurse take you back to the room to sleep. No matter what happens tonight, don't go out."

Xun'er raised her head, "Dad, when I was having snacks today, I suddenly remembered something. I did see that little girl named Xiaozhai before."

"Have you seen it?" Cheng Muyou and Jiang Xixi asked at the same time.

"Well, it was the day when I got lost. At that time, my whole head was confused and my body was very soft. I really wanted to find a place to sleep. At this moment, I vaguely saw a little girl about the same age as me. Yes, it was Xiaozhai. She walked up to me and asked, Brother, do you know how Qinxiangzhai left? But I was so sleepy that I couldn't even say anything, so I ignored her. Then I walked and walked, not knowing how far I walked, until I saw a big stone, and couldn't wait to fall asleep on it."

"Qinxiangzhai..." Cheng Muyou murmured and said these words, "It turns out that Xiaozhai ran out of the sedan chair to find Qinxiangzhai."

"Sir, why did she take such a big risk to Qinxiangzhai?"

"Maybe that place has a particularly important significance to her," Cheng Muyou sighed, "By the way, you go to the Tianzhu to release Mrs. Huo later, and then escort her home. It has been found that the cause of the children's death was not an epidemic, but someone was a gulp, so there is no reason to detain her again."

"Getting a Gu? What does this mean?" Jiang Xixi's eyes widened in fear.

Cheng Muyou glanced at Xun'er and said, "I'll tell you in detail when I'm back after finishing my work. Let's go first." Jiang Xixi had just walked out a few steps, but was stopped by him. "Call Shi Jin, we're going to close the Internet tonight."

My right ear lay on the window and looked out attentively. There were many people gathered outside the window. They were divided into two groups, one group was ambushed inside and outside the yard, and the other group climbed onto the eaves to ensure that the sky net was airtight and that even a bird could not fly out.

"Hey, there are really many people coming. It seems that Lord Cheng is going to catch this monster that is swearing tonight." He greeted behind him with his right ear, but found that Yan Niang did not respond at all. She was thinking at the candle, and her face showed a look that he couldn't understand.

"Yan Niang, what are you thinking?" He squatted at her feet with his right ear, and waved his hand gently in front of her eyes.

"I never understood why Xiaozhang died that day. There was no epidemic at all. How could the murderer know that she would die if she went out that day? Now, I finally figured it out." She laughed at herself. The laughter was very cunning, and the hairs in her right ear stood upright.

“For… why?”

"Right ear, before they have arranged the arrangement, you go out and help me with something." Yan Niang suddenly said this to him.

"What's the matter? It's midnight." He was stunned.

"There are faults and debts, and she should go to the murderer who killed her." Yan Niang sneered and squeezed out these words from her teeth.

Jiang Xixi hired a sedan chair and asked Mrs. Huo to sit inside. She followed her by the sedan chair and walked towards the Huo Mansion in the night. Half a month of prison life made Mrs. Huo, who was used to being pampered, exhausted. She just walked out of the cell with Jiang Xixi's support, but it would be impossible to walk back to the Huo Mansion like this.

The night in Xin'an City is still as quiet as ever, but occasionally there will be a sad cry of birds. The black of the night permeates the air, woven into a soft net, covering all the scenery, and every grass and tree is not as realistic as in the daytime. They all have blurry and empty colors, keeping their secrets, making people feel like dreams.

Jiang Xixi listened to the footsteps of her stepping on the ground and asked in the sedan chair, "Madam, I don't know whether to ask about it or not. If there is any abrupt point, please forgive me."

"Miss Jiang, please speak."

"Xiaozhai... likes to eat Qinxiangzhai's snacks?"

The person in the sedan was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Xiao Zhu doesn't like those, but her mother loved the snacks there very much during her lifetime." She sighed softly, "Miss Jiang, although you told me that there is no epidemic in Xin'an City, and Xiao Zhu doesn't die of illness, but I still feel sad. If I took her tighter that day, she wouldn't have died."

"Madam," Jiang Xixi felt a strong feeling of pity. She lost her mother since she was a child, so she had a deep understanding of the pain of losing her mother. "Look at it, things in the world are unpredictable. I believe that Lord Cheng will definitely catch the real murderer who killed Xiao Zhu..."

The sedan chair suddenly shook twice, and the leading sedan chairman suddenly knocked the sedan chair to the ground, pointed to the front and let out a terrifying scream, "That... what is that?"

Jiang Xixi looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a thin figure walking out from the shadow of the eaves step by step, then slowly turned into a narrow alley and disappeared.

"Is that... a child?"

"Which child from a family came out in the middle of the night and walked with his feet on his feet, could it be that he was a damn?" The sedan chairwoman was so scared that his voice trembled.

"Yes... it's a little shabby..." Mrs. Huo poked her head out of the sedan chair at some point. Her eyes were wide open, and tears unknowingly covered her thin and pale face.

"Xiao Zhu?" Jiang Xixi pulled out the sword and walked forward, "I'll go and take a look."

"Girl," the sedan chairkeeper called her, "Don't go, we don't care about anything after you leave. If you don't say anything about hitting a ghost in the middle of the night, do you still want us to pay our lives?"

Jiang Xixi glared at him, sighed helplessly, and then stuffed the sword back into the scabbard, "Forget it, let's go on." She looked at Mrs. Huo and comforted softly, "I'm afraid you're not reading it wrong. You're in a bad spirit now. There are willow catkins floating all over the sky, so there are also people who recognize the wrong ones. Let's go back to Huo Mansion first."

Mrs. Huo nodded and lowered the curtain. The group set off again and headed towards the Huo Mansion. However, this time, the sedan chairman's pace was much faster. However, while passing by Xiao Hu who had just turned into the child, Jiang Xixi still looked inside deeply.

She was stunned because she found that the figure had not yet walked away, and the white clothes appeared and disappeared in the shadows. But Jiang Xixi was strangely not this. She found that there was another person walking in front of the figure. The man wore a gray cloth hat on his head. He was not tall and jumped around when he walked.

"Right ear." This is the only name that popped up in Jiang Xixi's mind.
