The young man faced the bright moonlight and said lightly: "Let's talk about the situation of Caiyun first."

"Caiyun is nineteen years old this year. She is Yunyao Xiaozhu who came four years ago. With a good voice, she became the first person of Yunyao Xiaozhu. As for the origin, a flower girl said that Caiyun was a desperate orphan when she came, and she was selling herself."

"Where is Yingying?"

"Yingying was sold onto a boat by her parents when she was seven or eight years old. She came several years earlier than Caiyun. Because she was young, she had been doing miscellaneous work and was later assigned to Caiyun to serve her."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

From this point of view, at least at the beginning, there was nothing to do with Caiyun and Yingying.

"Where is Yingying buried?"

"Young Master, have you seen that earthen mountain?" Lai Xiyaoyao pointed.

With the bright moonlight, you can see a mountain not far away from Jinshui River. The huge monster that seemed to be sleeping under the night.

Lai Xi explained: "These Huaniangs on the Jinshui River are sought after by thousands of people, but they are extremely desolate when they are down and out. They even don't even have a thin coffin after their death. So they jointly paid for the barren mountain as a cemetery so that these miserable women will not be thrown into the mass grave after their death, and Yingying will be buried there."

"Go and have a look."

"Ah?" Lai Xi's voice changed.

Lu Xuan glanced at him: "What, I'm afraid?"

Lai Xi thrust her body and patted her chest and said, "Young master is joking. I don't know what fear is when I grow up so old!"

"Then let's go." Lu Xuan took the lead to the grave mountain.

The glitz and bustle of the Jinshui River gradually faded away, and the graves at night were pitch black, and occasionally there would be gurgling birds, which made it look more quiet and gloomy.

Lai Xi walked forward with fear, pretending to be careless.

"Young master, it seems that it's here."

The sparse moonlight cannot dispel the darkness in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, my eyes adapted to such light and saw the bulging graves clearly.

Lai Xi took a breath of air conditioning: "Hiss, so many!"

At a rough look, there are dozens of graves.

"Young Master, there are only a few monuments erected in front of the graves, most of which are not. Yingying, a maid, probably didn't have monuments erected." Lai Xi looked at the graves and began to worry.

It's dark and there's no monument, how can I find it?

Lu Xuan was not anxious: "Look at which grave has newly burned paper ash."

Even if he was just a maid serving Hua Niang, there was no monument erected after his death, someone would always burn paper money.

The two began to search carefully.

After a while, Lai Xi lowered her voice and waved her hand: "Young Master, here!"

Lu Xuan walked over quickly and saw that there were a lot of ashes in front of the grave and the unburned paper money pressed under the soil.

If you observe the color of the soil, you can confirm that it is a newly raised grave.

"You go to another grave to take a look." Lu Xuan ordered just in case.

Lai Xi looked at dozens of tomb bags and returned to Lu Xuan: "I have seen all the small ones, but there is only this new tomb."

Lu Xuan squatted down and twisted the soil, making up his mind: "Dig."

"Dig?" Lai Xi's face changed, "What are you digging?"

Lu Xuan looked at him and said expressionlessly: "Dig a grave and see if it is Yingying."

Lai Xi was crying: "Young Master, we don't have any tools."

Is this what the servant of the grand prince of the Duke of Chengguo’s mansion should do?

"When I just came here, I found a village not far from the forest. There must be hoes and other things in the homes of those farmers. You can borrow two."

borrow?

Lai Xi was unsure of looking at his son.

"Remember to put more money." Lu Xuan added lightly.

Lai Xi immediately understood the meaning of "borrow".

"Go quickly, I'll wait for you here." Speaking of this, the young man raised his eyebrows, "or you stay here, I'll borrow it."

Lai Xi ran away quickly.

With one person missing, the mountains and forests seemed to be quieter, so quiet that I could hear my heartbeat.

Suddenly, a crow screamed, and a crow spread its wings and flew from the branches to the vast night sky.

Lu Xuan leaned against the tree and waited for the joy, quietly looking up at the moon-like night sky, and somehow thought of Feng Cheng.

After Miss Feng returned, she must have been thinking about the cause of Yingying's death.

The girl was curious and might not be able to sleep all night.

Thinking of this, I felt a little sympathetic.

The boy let his thoughts go far in this quiet forest without others.

I don’t know how long it took, but the barking of dogs came from the village not far away.

Lu Xuan retracted his thoughts and looked there, his expression twisted for a moment.

Lai Xi is a bastard, it’s not reliable to do things at all!

Soon, Lai Xi came with two hoes and panting.

"It's so thrilling. I didn't expect that the family had a big fierce dog."

"Was that owner of the family coming out to check?"

"I heard footsteps when I left." Lai Xi looked embarrassed.

The dog was so hateful, and he shouted so loudly in the middle of the night.

Lu Xuan looked over there again and found that the light that suddenly lit up was gone again and the dog barking stopped.

"It should be that I found the silver left by the little one." Lai Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Lu Xuan stopped talking nonsense, and took a hoe from his hand and started digging graves.

With the cooperation of the master and servant, the newly raised grave was quickly dug up and a dark coffin appeared.

Lu Xuan put down his hoe and covered the coffin himself, revealing the female corpse lying inside.

Lai Xi covered her mouth and looked over and found that the female corpse in the coffin was Yingying drowned in the daytime.

"Young Master, you're not looking for the wrong thing!"

Lu Xuan nodded.

As long as Yingying is really buried here, she will naturally be found.

"Young Master, what will we do after that?"

I would never carry this female corpse to the Duke's mansion—

Lu Xuan looked very happy.

Lai Xi almost knelt down, and at this moment he deeply hated his intelligence.

"You are waiting here, I'll find someone." Lu Xuan explained and left with great strides.

Lai Xi stood among the graves, listening to the occasional crows, looking at the female corpse with a blue-white face in the black lacquer coffin, her eyes were filled with tears.

If I had known this was the case, it would have been better for him to carry the female corpse back to the Duke's Mansion. At least he had a young man by his side.

Time passed slowly, and for the servant who was looking forward to Lu Xuan's return, life was like the year.

"Come back, come back, young master, come back quickly." Lai Xi paced back and forth between the graves, thinking unconsciously.

He was so scared that he couldn't help but look at the female corpse in the coffin.

I just felt that the mountains and forests were dark and I couldn’t see anything clearly. Why do I feel that the moonlight is so bright now?

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the female corpse looks a little different from when she was fished out of the water during the day.

The blue-white face seemed to be more swollen, and the expression was different...

Lai Xi shivered and patted her face gently: How can you scare yourself if you think about anything randomly!

Yes, he is not afraid at all. He doesn't know what fear is when he grows up.

etc!

Lai Xi stopped suddenly, and his hair stood up and looked in the direction of the coffin, facing a pair of green eyes.
