The world is enchanting, the handsome man is so enchanting

Chapter 312
Standing in front of the Xiao family's former main house, Yu Qing's face was stunned, and she couldn't believe what she saw.In an ordinary ruined house, a few dead trees in front of the door swayed their withered and yellow branches lonely.The dark gray dry and cracked stone wall is covered with dark red patches everywhere, soaked in blood, leaving an eternal imprint.

Lichens grew between the cracks of the bricks. The grayish-yellow lichens were dry and black, and they stood in clusters, resembling moldy green bricks.The old gate is crumbling, and the rusty iron ring has lost its former light.The Spring Festival couplets at the door have long since disappeared after years of wind and rain erosion, and only a few pieces of red paper left to prove that they once existed.

One or two crows flapped their wings and flew across the sky, screaming, and the gray-black figure disappeared into the desolate dead house in a blink of an eye.

"This is the house where Mrs. Xiao used to live?" Yu Qingyan asked in surprise.

It is so dilapidated that its former glory has long been lost.In addition, there is no plaque at the door, and there is no sign that symbolizes the Xiao Mansion, so Yu Qingyan asked this question.

"It's here!"

The house in memory is here.Although, Feng Yuli never expected that today's Xiao family's old house would be even more dilapidated than he imagined.

"What about the plaque?"

Yu Qingyan asked, "How can there be no plaque in a mansion of a wealthy family?"

"Probably dismantled in that melee."

Lv Junliu pointed to the remaining traces above the gate and told Yu Qingyan, "See if there are any holes in these nails. Obviously, there was a plaque nailed here, but it was torn down for various reasons."

Yu Qingyan still couldn't believe it, she struggled with the last trace of doubt, and asked: "What evidence do you have to prove that this is the former residence of the Xiao family?"

"Although none of us have ever been to the Xiao family's main house."

As Sanshao Qian said, he pushed open the door and walked in, "However, if this is really the main residence of the Xiao family, I believe there must be ancestors' spirit tablets enshrined inside. Let's go in and have a look, and we'll know the result."

The crowd followed Third Young Master Qian and walked into the Xiao residence.

The desolate courtyard was overgrown with weeds, branches and leaves all over the ground, and no one took care of it. It had long been covered with thick dust.As soon as the footsteps stepped on, a large amount of dust was raised, choking Yu Qingyan coughed for a while, and quickly covered her face.

The altar in the lobby has long been covered with thick dust, and it is white.When I touched it lightly with my fingers, I found that the dust was a foot thick.

Just as Qian Sanshao said, there are censer fruit cakes enshrined on the altar.The cakes have long since moldy and turned black into black stones, the fruits have been wrinkled and withered due to years of dehydration, and the incense candles in the incense burner have long been burned out, leaving only the remaining wooden branches standing quietly.A god tablet was enshrined on the altar, covered with a red cloth, and a thick layer of dust fell.

"There is only one spirit card."

Such a result was obviously beyond Qian Sanshao's expectation.His hand touched the red cloth lightly, wanting to pull the red cloth off to see who the name on the tablet was.

Lv Junliu came from behind, and stopped Qian Sanshao's impulsiveness, "It is disrespectful to the ancestors to touch the spirit cards of the ancestors without authorization."

"Whether this spirit card is the ancestor of the Xiao family has to be seen to know!"

Qian Sanshao did not listen to Lu Junliu's advice, and stretched out his hand to tear off the red cloth covering the spirit tablet.

The dust was flying, and the red cloth fell, revealing the golden characters on the exquisite rosewood spirit tablet - the spiritual position of the best friend.

"what?!"

Yu Qingyan's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the big gold characters on the spirit card, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Qingyan's spirit position?! What's going on?!"

Qian Sanshao looked back at Yu Qingyan in surprise, and was also very surprised.Looking down along the big characters of "Qingyanzhilingbit", the small characters next to it clearly read - Xiao Mengli Gongli!

Qian Sanshao said: "This spiritual seat belongs to Xiao Mengli, and this is indeed the main residence of the Xiao family."

Lv Junliu asked in amazement: "Why does Xiao Mengli enshrine Qingyan's spiritual tablet?"

Receiving Yu Qingyan's murderous gaze from the side, Lu Junliu quickly changed her words, "I mean, what is the relationship between this woman with the same name as Yu Qingyan——Qingyan, and Xiao Mengli? Xiao Mengli Why do you want to enshrine her spiritual bit at home?"

Feng Yuli and Bai Xiaoyue knew the answer.However, none of them wanted to answer Lu Junliu's question.Because this story is quite long and complicated to tell, she will know when Yu Qingyan recovers her memory in the future.

"It says 'best friend' here..." Pei Yekai said, "This woman should be Xiao Mengli's good friend before his death. Because of the accidental death, Xiao Mengli was deeply saddened, so he set up her memorial tablet at home to mourn her."

best friend...

Suddenly, Yu Qingyan's heart was beating violently, and an indescribable feeling filled all limbs in an instant, sour, astringent, lingering, and numb.She suddenly felt limp and limp in her limbs, and if she hadn't tried her best to control it, she would almost collapse to the ground.

what happened?Why did a mere spirit card cause her such a big reaction?What is going on here?
A sense of ominousness suddenly arose in her heart, and a sharp voice neighed in her mind: leave here—leave here—leave here——

"This woman has the same name and surname as Yu Qingyan..."

Xuanyuan Zhiming's interesting eyes swept across the pale as paper Yu Qingyan, "This shouldn't be a coincidence..."

"Coincidence! Maybe it's just a coincidence!"

Lan Lingyu chirped, how could she understand the deep meaning of Xuanyuan Zhiming's words.He said: "There are so many women named 'Qingyan' in the world, it's just such a coincidence, what's so strange!"

Xuanyuan Zhiming smiled without saying a word, and cast his eyes on the quiet Bai Xiaoyue, with a strange expression flashing in his eyes.

Bai Xiaoyue's expression was indifferent, as calm as before, without any emotional fluctuations, Xuanyuan Zhiming couldn't see what Bai Xiaoyue was thinking from Bai Xiaoyue's face for a while.

"A woman also named 'Qingyan', the fate arrangement is really ingenious..."

Bai Xiaoyue seemed to acquiesce to Lan Lingyu's words, but Xuanyuan Zhiming always felt that there was something in Bai Xiaoyue's words, and the content was definitely not simple.

Pei Yekai said: "Regardless of the relationship between this Qingyan girl and Xiao Mengli, we can confirm one thing, this is the main residence of the Xiao family."

"Do you want to search?" Lu Junliu asked, "Looking for the clues left by Xiao Mengli back then?"

Feng Yuli said: "I don't think it is necessary. This place has long been abandoned, and there will be no special discoveries. Besides, after the tragedy happened that year, Xiao Mengli's children once cleaned up the house. Decades have passed, here No valuable clues will be kept, let's go to Xiao Mengli's cemetery."

"Okay! Let's go then!"

……

Leaving the Xiao family's main house, they stepped into the dead and deserted city again.

As the sun sets, the setting sun is like blood, reflecting the western half of the sky red.Bai Xiaoyue looked at the setting sun in the distance, and said softly: "It's dusk, it's going to be dark, we can't go to the cemetery today. Go back to the Xiao family's main house first, and find a place to rest."

"Huh?" Yu Qingyan exclaimed upon hearing the sound, "Are we going to spend the night at the Xiao family's main house tonight?!"

Bai Xiaoyue said: "Although we passed a lot of houses along the way, most of them are dilapidated and incomplete, unable to shelter from the wind and rain. Although the Xiao family's main house is old, it is still in good condition. It is our best choice."

Feng Yuli nodded in agreement with Bai Xiaoyue's opinion, "Besides, this is the closest to the Xiao family's main house, and it takes only a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. Let's rest for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

Yu Qingyan rubbed her head, although she was still a little reluctant, but since everyone said so, then she should obey the public opinion.She said, "Okay!"

……

Back to the main house of the Xiao family, they need to spend the night here tonight.Lv Junliu and Pei Yekai went to collect firewood to start the fire, and Bai Rushuang went to the well in the backyard to fetch water for cooking.Although all the food in the kitchen had become moldy and smelly, making it inedible, the stove was intact and the pots and bowls were still there, which could just be borrowed from them.

Bai Rushuang ordered Lan Lingyu to wash the dishes, and Bai Xiaoyue and Feng Yuli dragged Yu Qingyan, Xuanyuan Zhiming, and Qian Sanshao into the backyard, saying they wanted to clean up a few vacant rooms and come out to stay tonight.However, due to the fact that no one has lived in it all year round, the room has long been covered with thick dust, which is unbearably dirty.If you want to clean it, you don't know how long it will take to clean it thoroughly.After all, they just stayed for one night and left tomorrow.After discussing with everyone, they finally decided to take out the quilt from the locked box and go to the yard to make a bed for one night.

Dinner is the fish left over from lunch.Fortunately, Bai Rushuang had the foresight to let Pei Yekai catch a few more before leaving.Now, just to make their dinner today.

Bai Rushuang scraped the scales of the fish, dug out the internal organs, washed them and threw them into the pot, added spices, and soon, a pot of fragrant fish soup came out of the oven.Just smelling it, people can't help but move their fingers.Soon, the fish soup was scraped up by a group of hungry wolves, and there was not even a little residue left.

After eating and drinking enough, Yu Qingyan lay comfortably beside Feng Yuli, looked up at the clean starry sky, and asked lightly, "Is it beautiful?"

"pretty."

Tonight, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the stars are twinkling, the beautiful sky is so clean that there is no trace of impurities, it is so pure, it makes people feel refreshed.

Yu Qingyan turned her head to look at Feng Yuli, quietly and silently.

At the beginning, Feng Yuli was still calm and composed.Gradually, he couldn't stand it anymore.Her gaze was like an invisible pressure weighing on his heart, making him unable to meditate and find peace.

He turned his head, avoided her sight as if nothing had happened, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm watching, what's on your mind."

Feng Yuli couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, still avoiding her gaze, "Then did you see it?"

Yu Qingyan remained silent.She hid beside Feng Yuli, with her shoulders touching his shoulders, she raised her head, still looking at the boundless starry sky, and said softly: "Ever since you stepped into Baihua Town, I have felt that you are preoccupied. I hope, this is just my illusion .”

Feng Yuli was stunned.

Facing such a sensitive Yu Qingyan, he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"You are, and so is Yue!"

Suddenly, she added something, turned her back to Feng Yuli, and said nothing.

Feng Yuli was silent.He wanted to say something to ease the weird atmosphere, but he couldn't utter a single word.
