strange village

"Have you found the blueprint?" Dongyue quickly got up from the sofa when she saw the person coming, and suddenly gained momentum.

The person who came was Shuang Ye, and what she held in her hand was a rather thick cowhide envelope.

Shuang Ye is not short, with a slender figure, and her face is a little more angular than the average woman, but she has a unique beauty. At this moment, her bony white fingers are pinching a cowhide envelope and handing it to Dongyue: " Young Master Qing got stuck at the Master's place, so I had to send it over."

how?Master Chu made things difficult for him? "Dongyue started to unpack the leather bag, which is quite heavy.

"That's not true, it's just that there are a lot of things at home recently, and I need to discuss many things with him." Shuangye replied.

"Give it so happily?" Dongyue asked.

"Well, I'll give it." Shuang Ye said, not surprised.

Chu Yunfan seemed to have no intention of obstructing their search for the secret room. It seemed that the suspicion of him was overwhelmed.Thinking of this, Dongyue opened the seal of the envelope, took out the drawing inside, glanced at it briefly, and handed it to Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao flipped through the stack of drawings, it was really quite thick, and divided half of it and handed it back to him, "Look separately, hurry up."

Dongyue took the drawings and looked at them: "There are quite a lot."

Such a yard is almost as big as a resort villa area, so there is no reason for it.

Dongyue carefully turned over the drawings in her hand and said, "Why can't I see anything?"

"You thought there would be a red line circled there, and then the word "secret path" would be marked?" Zhu Yao said, burying his head and continuing to look at his drawings.

"Isn't that so?" Dongyue's spiritual world seemed to have been shocked.

"Even if there is that kind of blueprint...at least the one given to us is not." Zhu Yao said with difficulty, and looked up at him.

"But these few photos, I can't see anything?" Dongyue said, looking at Zhu Yao eagerly.

That look seemed to be seeking an affirmative answer from the other party, telling him that this thing could be discerned.

"" Whose house is this? "Zhu Yao raised his head and asked Shuangye, pointing with his slender fingers to the courtyard in the center of a drawing.

"Let me have a look." Shuang Ye reached out and took the blueprint. She looked at it carefully for a moment and said, "I'm not too familiar with this kind of blueprint, but it looks like Miss Axuan's small courtyard."

Chu Xuan?Dongyue was puzzled.

"Look, the current Chu family's courtyard has been expanded. It used to be this big. This is the heart, and it's the best location." Shuang Ye pointed to the building in the center and said, "It used to be that Chu Yunfei and his wife lived here. Later, when Chu Yunfan took charge of the house, he built a lot of construction work and expanded the courtyard. Look at your courtyard, which was built later and is still very new. After the expansion, Chu Yunfan opened up a new place for himself, which is much more grand than before. So Miss Axuan was allowed to live in the main courtyard before, what's the problem?" Shuang Ye looked at them suspiciously.

Zhu Yao rubbed the blueprint with his hands, looked at it carefully, and said, "According to this, this does not seem to be the earliest blueprint. It should have been redrawn during the expansion. I'm afraid I won't be able to see anything if I look at it again. gone."

Dongyue couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, but she still didn't give up and looked through the other part of the drawings again, but she found nothing.

"Actually, the same is true for the oasis in this area. It wasn't that big before. It should be said that it was gradually developed after the prosperity of the Chu family."

"What kind of family, building an oasis in the desert? There is a mine at home?" Dongyue said the interrogative sentence, but she was sighing.

"Well, the family does have a mine." Shuangye answered him calmly.

Several people worked blindly for half a day, until the evening, they saw Mo Tan coming with Axi, followed by a strange boy.

"Axi! Why are you here?" Dongyue looked surprised when she saw him.

"Ayue, Ayao, let me introduce you. This is my best friend Chongmu. My sister hasn't heard from me for several days, and she hesitated on the phone. I knew there was a problem. It's not Chongmu. My father asked him to deliver things, and I didn't know that something happened here, so I followed along."

The young man seemed to be worried about his sister, but he didn't know if it was because of the company of his friends, instead of looking worried, he seemed very happy, probably in the same mood as he was at a party with friends.

Dongyue patted him on the shoulder and said, "I still know how to love your sister, not bad, young man."

The young man seemed a little uncomfortable being praised, turned his head slightly, and said, "I'm here with Chongmu, we're leaving after he finishes his work."

"Hey? Didn't the bid not let go? You don't know?" Dongyue asked, and looked at Mo Tan again, did you mean you didn't tell him?

Or did the situation change when I didn't know it?

"Oh, look at my memory. I forgot to tell you just now. Now this Chu family's territory is only allowed to enter, not to exit. Moreover, it is very dangerous, can't you think of it?" Mo Tan said with a smile, looking at himself from time to time younger brother.

"What?!" Axi was shocked.

Dongyue and Zhu Yao looked at each other.

But the strange boy said: "I remembered, my dad came here like this. I was in a hurry and forgot to tell you, but I thought you were coming to find sister. I thought you... I'm sorry, you don't want to give birth to me angry."

The young man was thinner than Ah Xi, and his life was pure and gentle, his voice was light and clear, his demeanor was not as energetic as the young man beside him, but he looked extraordinarily gentle and elegant. He wore light-colored clothes, refreshing and refreshing. Pretty flattering.

A Xi quickly shook his head and smiled, "Don't get angry, don't get angry, I'll be with you no matter what you do."

Not far away came a cold glance from Mo Tan.

"Chongmu met the two older brothers. I heard Axi talk about you." The boy said.

Seeing that he was young, Dongyue looked quite polite, nodded to him, and said, "I heard that Axi often goes to play with you, and we get along well."

The boy smiled and nodded, Dongyue leaned over and patted the shoulders of the two boys, she was quite envious of the precious friendship of childhood playmates.

"Then since we're here, we can only stay here. If we can't find the murderer, we can't go anywhere." Dongyue said.

"Really? I saw someone going out just now?" Axi said.

"What!?" Dongyue was taken aback and looked at Mo Tan.

"Well, that's the new servant who came in recently. He's in charge of shopping. The things are all pre-ordered. Those who deliver goods can't come into this yard. If they come in, they have to be locked up here, and they have to go back. It's for business, so she went out to pick up the goods, and it's not far from the door, so it can't be considered as going out." Mo Tan said.

"Does Chu Qing know about this?" Dongyue asked.

"I will tell him. To be honest, I didn't expect this matter to be delayed for such a long time. With such a large population, the Chu family will always be short of supplies and need to be replenished. Prisoners can't be caught, and strict defense is not an option. I have to let people go when I have checked them out, we are willing to stay here, but maybe some people are not willing, nights are long and dreams are many, so don't make any trouble." Mo Tan said, as if he had made a careful plan.

In the evening, a few people made an appointment to go to Mo Tan's residence for dinner. There were so many people that it happened to be lively, and being with the children would save boredom.

There were a lot of people, and there were a lot of dishes on the table. Dongyue put a few children's favorite dishes in front of Chongmu and Axi. They were fried fish sticks in tomato sauce, roasted tofu with salted eggs, Sweet and sour five-willow eggs, and crispy sweet potatoes.

Ah Xi’s food is delicious, and his appearance is quite heroic. Chongmu is completely different. He chews slowly in small bites, which is quite pleasing to the eye. There is not much talk at the table, and the child actually helps them serve vegetables, "Brother Ah Yue , this is delicious, here it is."

Mo Tan sighed: "Chongmu is really a good boy, he is much sweeter than my family's."

"Elder Sister, you can eat too." Chong Mu said and also brought some food for Mo Tan.

Mo Tan laughed happily, and in a blink of an eye, he was even more dissatisfied when he saw his own brat, but he didn't say clearly: "Amu is young, so sensible, your father taught you really well."

"I'm fourteen, I'm an older child, I have to learn to do everything." Chongmu replied obediently.

After a while, the meal was almost finished. Dongyue suddenly thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, what did you bring for your father?" Dongyue asked.

"This time he hasn't been home for a long time, so I brought him some newly made clothes. There are also some medicinal materials, which are usually replenished directly by the Chu family, and we occasionally helped buy them a few times. It seems inconvenient to get the goods now, so I can only bring some from home and use them first.”

"Who is not in good health?" Dongyue asked.

"It's mainly some regular heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, as well as soothing and nourishing medicinal materials, and some consumables. It's not the most important. Life-saving medicines can't be missing at all times." Chongmu said.

"The second wife has been weak for a long time, and the tonic is constant, probably what he wants." Mo Tan guessed.

"Then among the things you brought, is there anything like chamaejasma?" Dongyue asked suddenly.

Mo Tan immediately changed his face, and said: "He is a child, what can he know?"

Mo Tan tried his best to wink at him, but Zhu Yao kept silent, but seemed to understand Dongyue's question, because he was a child and he was not skilled enough in lying, so it was worth asking.Besides, who is more qualified than a doctor in the matter of poisoning and drugging?

Chongmu didn't feel offended, nor did he hesitate about this question, he just thought for a while, and then said: "There should be some, chamaema chamaema is not a rare medicinal herb here, it's quite common, but it's common They are concocted potions and ointments, and they can only be used externally, which is different from the poisonous ones."

Dongyue understood, and asked again: "Then will your father extract that poison?"

Chongmu nodded proudly and said, "Of course."

Ah Xi who was at the side quit, stopped Chongmu from continuing, and said, "Ah Yue, are you doubting Chongmu and Dr. Chong?"

"Eh? Me, neither."

I was almost stuttered by a child asking me.

"He's just curious about this poison." Zhu Yao hurriedly opened his mouth to help him, and then received Dongyue's grateful glance.

This kid is really difficult to deal with, although Chongmu is innocent and well-behaved, but Axi has insight into human affairs, so it's not easy to fool him.

Although he didn't speak again, his vigilant eyes showed that he was very sensitive to all topics related to Chongmu. It seemed that it would not be easy to pry more information from them. The look in his eyes seemed to imply to them that this person was covered by me. He was obviously a child, but he exuded a domineering air inexplicably.

Not to be offended, Dongyue looked at Mo Tan, she just smiled helplessly, it seems that she can't control this brother who has a lot of ideas.
