Forbidden City

Chapter 47 What happened?

The second uncle's words startled me, and I subconsciously looked at Mu Yi, she frowned slightly, probably also surprised by the second uncle's words.

I asked my second uncle: "Aren't you fighting with Lexus? Look, your face is swollen." The second uncle touched his face, and said with white eyes: "Where is this swollen? I wanted to go up the mountain Going to hunt wild animals, and I ran into a wild boar, damn it, got hit by that damned wild boar."

boar?Obviously, the second uncle was lying.He regards me and Mu Yi as wood with zero IQ.However, since the second uncle does not admit that he had a fight with Ling Zhi, there must be his reasons, maybe there are unavoidable difficulties. In front of Mu Yi, it is inconvenient for me to ask further questions. I am relieved to see that he is safe and sound. At present, What worries me the most is Ling Ziyao.

Seeing that Mu Yi and I didn't ask any more questions, the second uncle waved his hand in relief and said, "This mountain is not fun, let's go back, damn it, I'm starving to death." He walked down the mountain without looking back. .Mu Yi and I didn't move, the second uncle walked five or six steps, turned his head to look at Mu Yi and me, blinked his eyes and asked, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go?"

Mu Yi was thoughtful, and walked down the mountain.I walked up to my second uncle and asked, "Second uncle, where is Ziyao?" The second uncle said, "Didn't you tell me? At home." I hurriedly asked, "At your house?" The second uncle said casually: "At your house , why is your daughter-in-law at my house?" I hurriedly stood in front of my second uncle and stared at him and said, "Is she not at my house?"

"Oh? Really?" Second Uncle evasively said, "Maybe go hide somewhere, you know, she is a ghost, she can't always appear in the daytime." After he finished speaking, he walked forward quickly.I stood where I was, suddenly feeling bad.Mu Yi also stopped, and looked at me in blank dismay.I feel that Second Uncle must be hiding something from us.

After returning home, I made a special trip to look for my second uncle's house, but I didn't find Ling Ziyao.I wanted to go to the secret room, but my second uncle said that the mechanism of the secret room has been destroyed, and no one can get in now.

"Impossible, there are so many treasures inside, you can't destroy the mechanism." I think the lies that the second uncle said are becoming less and less technical.The second uncle said: "Those treasures, your second uncle, I never wanted to own them. The reason why I destroyed the mechanism was to make the transparent coffin buried in it forever, so that it would not be found by Ling."

"You're so naive!" I couldn't help but say, "The surname Ling knows where the secret room is, why does he have to go in from the organ? He can punch a hole."

"It's easy for you to say, how can it be so easy to make a hole?" The second uncle snorted.

"The tombs of so many emperors in ancient times have been stolen, you are just a secret room..."

"You've watched too many movies." The second uncle interrupted me and said extremely displeased: "No matter what you say, you can't enter the secret room. If you want to find your ghost wife, go to your house to find it. Anyway, my house doesn't have one!"

It seemed that the second uncle was going to turn his back on him, so I had to carry the child out of the second uncle's house, and saw Mu Yi standing at the door with his arms crossed, his eyes looking straight ahead, with a pensive look on his face.

At this time, the child woke up, opened her eyes and looked at me, and I looked at her, and she raised her eyes and looked to both sides, probably did not find her mother, and suddenly opened her mouth and burst into tears.Mu Yi was disturbed by the child's crying, and said to me: "Let me hug you, go make milk powder for her."

"Okay, thank you!" I put the child in Mu Yi's arms, and hurried to my house to make milk powder.

This time I brewed more, there was almost a bottle, Mu Yi said in a daze, "So much brew, can she eat it?" I said, don't underestimate her appetite, it's big.Mu Yi took the baby bottle and stuffed it into the child's bottle. As soon as she touched the pacifier, she stopped crying immediately, and then gulped down the milk powder.In just a few minutes, I drank this bottle of milk powder and saw the light!

Mu Yi was dumbfounded, "This brat drinks more than me."

I said, do you feel that she seems to have grown a lot, like six or seven months old?I can hardly wear this dress anymore.Mu Yi nodded, and said seriously: "It's impossible to grow up like this, I have to think of a way." I hurriedly asked her what she thought of, and Mu Yi said, "We must let her grow up like an ordinary person. She grows like this. It's too scary, and it will get farther and farther away from the essence of human beings."

I just feel my heart sinking, I understand what Mu Yi means, growing at this speed can only be called a ghost.I also finally understood why Ling Ziyao asked me to prepare clothes for children aged one to five all at once.

The second uncle came out, looked at the child, and asked me to cook.I looked at the child, Mu Yi seemed to have a good understanding with me, and said to me: "I'll hold the child, you go."

I went to my house to cook, and I was thinking about what to cook. The second uncle came over with a hen and told me to kill the chicken, and then said in a low voice: "After eating, you and Mu Yi take the children In the city, I didn't ask you to come back, so don't come back."

"Why?" I looked at my second uncle, extremely puzzled and said, "I haven't found Ziyao yet."

"Don't look for her yet." The second uncle almost ordered.

"No, I won't leave until I find Ziyao." I said firmly.

The second uncle grabbed my shoulder, stared at me, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Feng, you must listen to me this time, and leave immediately after eating!"

I also looked at my second uncle, and found that his face was very serious, and I asked puzzledly: "What happened? Why do you want me to go? And Ziyao, do you know where she is?"

"Don't ask any more questions." The second uncle said: "You have to trust me, I won't hurt you, we are the only two people in our Yu family, and you are my only relative in this world. To put it bluntly, everything I have done , half of it is for you. There is definitely a reason for what I told you to do, understand?"

I don't understand, I really don't understand.However, I didn't know how to answer my second uncle for a while.I have a lot of doubts I want to ask, but seeing how my second uncle looks like, he won't tell me.

"Kill the chicken." The second uncle said.

"I won't kill." I'm telling the truth. Since I was a child, I have never killed a living being.The second uncle shook his head helplessly, picked up a kitchen knife, and chopped off the chicken head.

With one slash, the chicken's head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out immediately.

"You don't even know how to kill a chicken. It's a waste of your life. Look, how easy it is!" The second uncle said, throwing the chicken on the ground, and the headless chicken kept bouncing back and forth on the ground, which was horrible.

Too cruel!

But cruelty is cruelty, since it is killed, the meat still has to be eaten.

During the meal, the child fell asleep obediently, and Mu Yi put her on the bed. When I went to see her, she immediately stretched her index finger to her mouth and gave me a soft hiss, and then stretched out her hand to drive me out of the door.I suddenly felt that this Muyi was more like a child's mother.

Halfway through the meal, the second uncle looked at Mu Yi and me, and asked when Mu Yi was leaving. Mu Yi thought about it, stared at him and asked, "Do you want me to leave early?" What kind of words are you talking about, you are a guest, and our peasant family has no other qualities, but hospitality. You come to our house as a guest, of course I hope you can stay for a while."

"Really?" Mu Yi said flatly, "Your chicken is quite delicious, I plan to eat all of your chicken before leaving."

"That's easy to say." The second uncle slapped his hand on the table and said generously: "I still have two old hens at home. I will catch them all for you later. You can take them back and kill them if you want. If you want them to lay eggs, you can keep them." That, I promise, is many times better than the feed chicken you buy in the city."

Mu Yi snorted lightly, and said with a slight smile: "You are still driving me away, what exactly do you want me to do, just tell me."

I looked at my second uncle and reminded him with my eyes, don't play charades with Mu Yi, she is not an ordinary girl.

The second uncle chuckled twice, put a chicken leg into the Muyi bowl and said, "That's right, Feng Feng is going to take the child to the city, and after dinner, I would like to trouble you to drive him there."

"Where's Ling Ziyao?" Mu Yi asked.

The second uncle said: "Isn't she a ghost? After giving birth to a child, the merits and virtues are complete, and then - go to reincarnation and start a new life."

Mu Yi didn't ask any more questions, but just gave me a meaningful look.

I know that things are definitely not like this, it is impossible for Ling Ziyao to rush to reincarnate without even taking another look at the child.But, why did Second Uncle hide Mu Yi and me?Moreover, he was in a hurry to ask us to leave. What happened between him, Ling Zhi and Ling Ziyao this morning?
