Through analysis and observation, coupled with the steward's recommendation from the previous tip-off, Lou Li believed that the owner's wife was a good candidate.
It can be seen from the fact that she did not allow others to disclose the illness of the owner of the tea estate, and only one person in the village leaked the news. It can be seen that she has a lot of prestige in the tea estate.
According to Xia Xi's understanding, part of the business in the village has been handed over to this lady for a long time.
Everything will happen naturally.
Yuan Xiangzhi got out of the carriage with Duan Yu, still looking sleepy.
On the way, she and Duan Yu were talking and laughing, they seemed quite intimate, but they did not shy away from the presence of an outsider like Xia Xi.
Xia Xi saw it and cast a contemptuous look at Duan Yu.
After all, she analyzed it before departure, and the reason why Duan Yu dared to say disrespectful words to Master Xiao was probably because he had an underground relationship with Master Xiao.
But now that he is carrying Uncle Xiao behind his back, he is so close to Yuan Xiangzhi, this is really...
Xia Xi couldn't help but think of a saying, that is - "The more beautiful a man in this world is, the more he will lie, as if he is sincere to every woman.".
Xia Xi was a little depressed. Originally, Duan Yu came to do things with her, but now she felt that she was redundant.
Ever since, the puppy guarding food reappeared, and when she saw Duan Yu chatting with Yuan Xiangzhi, her little oval face was filled with unhappiness.
At this time, Yuan Xiangzhi took a look at Xia Xi, and whispered to Duan Yu: "Uncle Xiao actually asked you to follow such a small iceberg, junior brother, you must be bored recently."
Duan Yu responded quietly: "Senior sister, you can even see this."
Xia Xi pretended to be nonchalant, but she "heard" the whispered conversation after all.
Because she can see what others are going to say from the shape of their mouths.
She has always been used to being lonely. Many people inside and outside the Xizi Building respect her very much and regard her as one of the future leaders.
She also enjoys this state very much, but for some reason, after seeing Duan Yu and Yuan Xiangzhi talking and laughing, and Duan Yu admitting that being with her is boring, the young Xia Xi felt sour.
She didn't know why this happened, she just felt a complicated loss.
This was the first time Xia Xi, who was still young, experienced this feeling.
Hmph, why should I care about an embroidered pillow who is just a few years old and hasn't even passed the Second Stage Condensation Qi.
Xia Xi thought this way, but she still couldn't help but feel this way in her heart.
However, as the three of them walked, they realized that something was wrong.
The huge tea house was empty, and I occasionally met a few servants, all of whom looked a little dignified and panicked.
Because the owner had just died, there were still white flags hanging in the village, fluttering in the wind, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.
When they got here, Duan Yu and Yuan Xiangzhi stopped joking.
The three came to the main hall and found that Mrs. Meng was not waiting for them in the living room.
It stands to reason that they had announced their whereabouts in advance, and the always sensible "Mrs. Meng" should have asked someone to wait here.
There was only one little maid in the hall.
After seeing the three of Xia Xi, he quickly saluted and said, "Madam is waiting for everyone in the backyard."
So, the servant girl took Duan Yu and the others to the back.
Duan Yu could tell that besides her buttocks, this maid was also very nervous, even a little scared.
It can be seen from the shaking of her hands.
In the end, the servant girl stopped in front of a courtyard and said, "My lords, the lady is inside."
Looking at the courtyard with some peeling black door paint, Xia Xi and Duan Yu's expressions became dignified.
Because they have been to this place before, it is the warehouse where the corpse of the owner of Meng was found before.
There are a few white banners hanging on the warehouse. It has rained for the past few days, and the corpses of a few small black spiders are stuck to it, which looks quite damp.
Could it be that after the death of her husband, the wife is so sad that she still stays at the place where her husband died, dressed in mourning?
Duan Yu wanted to ask about the maidservant's condition, but found that she had already retreated.
The boxy warehouse door was ajar.
As the "little brother" among the three, Duan Yu stepped forward and pushed the door lightly, and the door opened.
The windows of this warehouse are very small, so in this cloudy day, it is dark, like a cave.
"Ma'am?" Duan Yu asked in his slightly magnetic male voice.
A white candle was burning in the storeroom, and there was no response.
Inside, like last time, there are many water tanks.
Looking at these brown water tanks and the water stains on the ground, Duan Yu felt uncomfortable.
The white candle was in the middle of the storeroom, covered by the surrounding water tanks, and the flame could not be extinguished.
Like last time, it looked silent and gloomy here.
The white candle used to pay homage to the dead stood there, half-burned, but he didn't see where his wife was.
"lady?"
Duan Yu asked again.
His voice floated in the huge warehouse, but it didn't sound like him in the back.
It's like another person is imitating his speech.
The three of them glanced at each other, and their expressions suddenly became alert.
This is not right.
Yuan Xiangzhi stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and the exquisite silver knuckles were already worn on his hand, while Xia Xi held the sword hilt at his waist.
At this moment, only two splashes were heard, and the lids of the two water tanks next to the three of them tilted, and the water flowed out.
Xia Xi was so frightened that she jumped back suddenly and bumped into her body.
Although she is a talented girl, her realm is much higher than Duan Yu's, but she is still a little girl, and it is human nature to be afraid in this weird atmosphere.
But Duan Yu performed much better.
He has seen a little bit of the world.
After all, the wild god knocked on his door at night.
He just wanted to go forward and lift the wooden lids of the two water tanks, but Yuan Xiangzhi had already taken the first step to do so.
With two bangs, the wooden lid was lifted to the ground, revealing the inside of the tank.
Two jars filled with water, and two people nesting in them.
The woman on the right is pale, it's not who they are looking for Mrs. Meng.
And in the other tank was a young man, Lu He who had tipped off the news before.
Both of them were soaked in the water. What was strange was that there were beard-like things attached to the corners of their mouths, just like the whiskers at the corners of a carp's mouth.
Seen from here, the two of them looked like strange fish emerging from the water at both ends, very strangely tight.
Obviously, just like the owner Meng that day, they were out of breath.
The wife and the steward also died in the same way.
The three of them looked around with alert expressions.
For a while, this boxy warehouse really looked like a vicious tomb.
Xia Xi bravely tried to determine the cause of Mrs. Meng's death, but at this moment, there was another crash, which made Xia Xi tremble in fright, and almost sat down on the ground.
I saw another head popping out of the water tank where Mrs. Meng was.
That head with white hair and beard was the owner of Montaigne who had just died.
Zhuang Zhuang's slightly protruding eyes rolled, and suddenly he smiled sinisterly, and said: "Miss Xia, Miss Yuan, hello, this one is very face-to-face."
As he spoke, he looked at Duan Yu.
His voice was so smooth that it gave goosebumps all over his body.
The child Xia Xi was a little frightened, and said with a look of fear: "You, aren't you dead?"
Chapter 99 Miss Su Became a Negative Textbook?
In the early morning, Duan Yu was wearing a light blue sword robe with the ruler sword on his back, looking very energetic.
He went out of the room on time and found Xia Xi just standing there, waiting for him.
But in the next second, a slight look of astonishment appeared in the eyes of both of them.
Because of the shirt bump...
Xia Xi's little lolita is also wearing a light blue sword gown, and even the pattern on her chest is very similar.
So the two standing together couldn't tell whether it was a couple outfit or a parent-child outfit.
As usual, Xia Xi looked indifferent, but before leaving, he finally muttered - "Can you change your outfit?".
Duan Yu retorted: "Why did I change it?"
Xia Xi said: "Because I am in the third realm, and you only have the second realm."
Duan Yu shook his head and said, "That's not enough. I'm older than you, and I'm taller than you."
As he spoke, he moved his long legs and arms.
Xia Xi said coldly: "Uncle Xiao asked you to follow me, not me to follow you, you should know what it means."
Duan Yu retorted: "Uncle Xiao said so, but I don't necessarily want to listen to her."
This time, it was Xia Xi's turn to be dazed.
Xiao Hongying was able to secure that position here in just a few months, all because of her courageous killings that everyone feared.
Unexpectedly, there appeared a guy with signs of deceiving his master and scorning his ancestors here.
She had to think of a rumor, and after looking at the handsome face of the man in front of her, she couldn't help but confirm it.
However, Xia Xi was not the one to give up easily, and said, "My room is in the east courtyard, at least three hundred steps away, and it's only a few steps away for you to go back."
This time, she no longer suppressed others forcefully, but spoke the truth.
Duan Yu said: "Begging for help should not be in this tone."
Xia Xi clenched her fists tightly, but endured it, and finally said: "Then I will trouble you."
She said this with a look of disgust and coldness, even though it was when she was begging for help.
This scene always reminded Duan Yu of the comics he had read before, and the maid showed the master Fatci with a look of disgust.
Duan Yu saw it in his eyes and always felt that this was not a good idea.
Because if this little girl continues to develop like this, she might become the second Miss Su.
Alas, why did Miss Su suddenly become a negative teaching material?
But thinking that it was the first time the little girl asked him, and he respected the old and cared for the young, he reluctantly agreed to his request.
It's not scary to bump into a shirt, whoever is ugly is embarrassed, and wearing similar clothes to me is really embarrassing for this little girl.
Duan Yu came out in his old sword robe and followed Xia Xi out.
As a result, when he was leaving the building, a black figure rushed into his carriage and sat down.
Duan Yu looked at the red-haired beauty who was close at hand, and asked in surprise, "Senior Sister Yuan?"
After Duan Yu came to this building, he only met Yuan Xiangzhi a few times, because the other party was always on the go, busy enough, as if one person had several jobs.
Yuan Xiangzhi was also very depressed. She just wanted to use her beauty to catch Duan Yu, so that Duan Yu couldn't stop, and followed her as a traitor. Who would have thought that there would be a lot of things when she went back to the building, and she would be tired many times. As soon as the legs are kicked, they fall asleep as soon as they touch the pillow.
Not to mention seducing Duan Yu, even having a meal is tiring.
After seven days of running around, she managed to barely complete the three tasks assigned by the building, and finally gained a moment of peace.
However, as a gold medalist, Yuan Xiangzhi met Duan Yu by chance when she was returning to the building, and her professionalism allowed her to see the needles. She got into Duan Yu's bed without a break, bah, got into Duan Yu's car.
Yuan Xiangzhi asked the coachman to continue on his way according to the plan, while she sat in the carriage and said with a charming smile: "Junior brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"
Looking at Yuan Xiangzhi's seductive eyes and smile, Duan Yu said naturally: "I really miss it."
