Chapter 44
has a problem!
She knows some tricks for tying yellow ribbons on trees, but it is something for modern foreigners. There seems to be a song called Yellow Ribbons on Old Oak Trees, which symbolizes longing and longing, and is usually used to welcome the return after a long absence. loved ones.

Could it be that there is such a saying in this era?Moreover, who hung these yellow ribbons?
Master Li?

So, who is he missing and caring about?Could it be... the memory of the late Second Master?
But why did Liu'er have such a big reaction?
Mo Zixu couldn't help but also picked up the ribbon on a tree in front of her to play with. The fabric was of the highest quality and the tentacles were smooth. As for the rest, there was no handwriting, no special decoration, and she could no longer see anything strange.

"Liu'er, what's wrong with you?"

When Mo Zixu asked this question, Liu'er was quietly wiping the corners of her eyes, and when she saw her lady asking, she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, miss, this servant just...just remembered an old friend, he has seen a lot. Knowledgeable, it is said that there is a yellow ribbon hanging on the tree, which represents longing and love... Sigh, Miss should ignore the servants, the servants are just hurt by the sight, let's go to the old man."

Mo Zixu nodded his head lightly and didn't say anything, but Liu'er's words hit her heart with no seriousness, and for a while, nothing could erase it.

The two masters and servants left the apricot orchard and walked directly along the secluded path without any destination.The two of them remained silent, each having their own concerns, and they didn't even know that they were gradually going into the most northwest corner of the Qi Mansion.

When Mo Zixu came back to his senses, he realized that he had come to a place overgrown with weeds. It seemed that this place had been abandoned for a long time, but there was a stone road going straight through it. At the end of the road, a stone hut could be vaguely seen at the intersection of two walls.

Unexpectedly, there is such a nondescript hut in Qifu, which is surrounded by magnificent buildings.

Mo Zixu strolled over, but Liu Er grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Liu'er glanced at the stone house and said hesitantly, "Miss, let's not go there, the stone house looks very eerie."

Mo Zixu nodded, not because he couldn't agree, but because he agreed with Liu'er's last sentence. The small stone house was lonely among the weeds in the corner, and it looked quite gloomy.

No one around heard the news that the old man had been found, Mo Zixu brushed Liu'er's hand away subconsciously, and walked forward, she always felt that the stone house was weird, maybe there was someone hiding inside?

Liu'er followed closely behind, brushing the weeds between Mo Zixu and those in front of him.

When the two got closer, they realized that it was a locked stone house. The iron lock was rusty, and it seemed that it hadn't been opened for a while, and the grass in front of the stone house had no trace of being trampled on.

It seems that the old man Qi is not hiding here.

Mo Zixu sighed softly in her heart, she guessed the wrong direction again.

Liu'er behind her covered her breath, frowned and said, "Miss, let's go quickly, this place is not only gloomy, but also smells of rancidity... This servant will be frightened just looking at it."

Mo Zixu nodded, and finally took another look at the room before leaving.

She didn't intend to ask the eldest grandma or anyone what kind of place this is, because, based on some memories in her mind, she could guess that this was probably the place where the Qi family carried out the execution.

As for the rotten smell emanating from the stone house...

She no longer dared to think about it anymore, the result of her imagination was too cruel, she had better pretend that she didn't know anything.

The whole house was mobilized, and after searching for two or three hours, there was no sign of the old man Qi.

The boy guarding the door knocked his head to pieces, and he also insisted that he never saw Mrs. Qi leave the mansion.I have searched everything that can be found in this mansion. Is he hiding in that corner?
Seeing that the sun had set and the sky was getting dark, it was even more difficult to find someone.Master Qi lost his temper and paced back and forth in the main hall, wishing he could grab the heads of a few servants and use them as stools, "Tell me, what's the use of praying for you?"

The aunt Gui who was taking care of Old Master Qi was crying as if her own father had died. When Mo Zixu came in, she had already knelt there.

Mr. Qi sat wearily on the seat, panting heavily, and after calming down his anger for a while, he pointed at Aunt Gui who was over half a hundred and said sharply, "You...you compare the old man's behavior and words today with those in the past. Tell me all the different places in detail!"

Aunt Gui lowered her head in a hurry, and recited the words she had repeated countless times, "Before this morning, the old man was no different from the past, but after breakfast this morning, the old man suddenly said that the back of his head hurt so badly, and the slave girl's heart ached." Thinking, could it be that the pillow on the pillow was too high last night, and the pillow fell? So, the servant girl pressed the back of the old man's neck, and when he pressed it, he became dumbfounded, because this is also a common thing in the past, the servant girl I didn't care about it, and after about half a stick of incense, the old man suddenly said... said..."

"say what?"

After being drunk by Master Qi, Aunt Gui hurriedly lowered her head, "The old man said, he misses the second master! He said that the second master died a miserable death, and he sent a white-haired man to a white-haired man. The second master fulfilled his wish, so that he can go to see the second master without any worries!"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Gui almost put her head on the ground, not caring about the plaster on her hair and face, and waited for Master Qi's hair without letting out a breath.

At this time, the main hall was quiet, and no one dared to say anything.

At this time, people still hold a very pious attitude towards ghosts and gods, so the words of the old man Qi made them think that the soul of the second master has returned, and they want their father to fulfill his wish!
Involuntarily, all the people had a kind of gloomy feeling of standing on their heads.

Mo Zixu stood among the crowd, also silent. If she uses modern thinking to understand, she feels that the old man Qi is likely to return to the light, and the person is about to die, expanding the regret in his heart, and wants to achieve the final wish.If not, then the old man Qi's brain suddenly cleared up, and he remembered the past that was unbearable but could not be completely forgotten.
