At dawn, there is mist in the mountains, and the dew is cool.

Sitting on the roof, Qin Gutong watched Fang Xingyang spur the horse and head down the mountain with his cronies.He Li appeared out of nowhere, holding Qin Gutong's horizontal knife in her hand, raised her hand and threw it: "Go on!"

Fearing that the horizontal knife at the back of his waist would hit the window of Xiaoxuan, Qin Gutong visited Fangxing Library at night and hid it under the eaves.Afterwards, I went back to pick it up, but the knife was no longer there.Qin Gutong expected He Li to take it away, so he simply went back to sleep.

She reached out to catch it and said thanks.

He Li narrowed her eyes and sat beside her: "It's useless to just thank you, it's better to promise with your body." She said lying on her shoulder.

Qin Gutong didn't move away, just smiled.Compared to He Li, who was full of doubts, she felt more and more strange in this familiar villa.Looking far away, you can see Wei Xunwan, but I don't know what Fang Weiai is doing.Thinking of her carefree appearance, Qin Gutong couldn't help feeling envious.

Miss Fang?

A pair of empty eyes appeared before Qin Gutong's eyes.

He Li lay on her shoulders, lowered her head and fiddled with the keys on her waist.She knew that this bunch of keys could unlock the door of Fang's library, and she also knew that this bunch of keys alone was not enough.Fang Zhongzheng, that old fox, how could he not make a thorough plan.

If a strong method is used, Jun Han Mansion will definitely be alarmed.As the overlord of the Southwest, how could the Jun Han Mansion allow someone to break ground on Tai Sui's head?It's fine as long as you have certainty, otherwise it's not the Palace Master's wish to reveal your strength in advance.

However, now that the Jun Han Mansion has come to the door, it is not known how long Fang Xing can resist.There are bound to be variables if it drags on, so we can only start with Qin Gutong.He Li raised the corners of her lips, leaned into Qin Gutong's ear and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I wasn't thinking about anything." Just waiting.

He Li remembered that the news said that she suffered a misfortune as a child and her parents died. "Could it be that you think of your parents? Speaking of which, I also have no father and no mother. Oh, it's really the same fate."

Qin Gutong was noncommittal, pointing in the direction of Wei Xunwan and said, "Second Miss Fang is afraid that she will be looking for you everywhere, so why don't you go quickly."

After sending He Li to Wei Xunwan, He Xi was coming out with a washbasin. When he saw Qin Gutong, he couldn't help showing joy, and hurried forward: "Miss Qin, why are you here today?"

Looking at her beautiful and gentle face, Qin Gutong thought of what had happened to the Lin family, and couldn't bear it: "I haven't seen you for a few days, so I came here. I happened to meet He Nvxia on the road."

He Li looked at He Xi's shy face, and couldn't help but give Qin Gutong a sideways glance.

Qin Gutong didn't know why, so he smiled at Hexi: "Second Miss hasn't woken up yet? Didn't you say that these days are very hard?"

"My surname is Qin, what are you saying bad things about me!" Fang Weiai rubbed the back of her neck and pushed the door out, pointing at Qin Gutong and jumping up and cursing, "I didn't sleep well last night, it's like a ghost crushed my bed. It must be Cursed by you!"

The sky is green and the lake is clean.

But Qin Gutong's heart suddenly sank into a hole in the ice, and in an instant, black clouds were densely covered, and the mountain rain was about to come.Suppressing the tumbling blood, Qin Gutong had breakfast with Fang Weiai: "You look so bad, did you become a thief last night?"

Fang Weiai didn't hear what she said, took a bite of the silver yam, and muttered: "This lady has practiced martial arts diligently these days, and she sleeps soundly every day. It's just that I had a nightmare yesterday and couldn't sleep well. safe."

"What's the nightmare?" Qin Gutong gave her a piece of stewed lettuce with chopsticks.

"I can't remember." Fang Weiai rarely saw her so attentive, and suddenly he was in a good mood, and his brows opened with a smile.He hesitated for a while holding up the chopsticks, picked up the crystal cake and put it in Qin Gutong's bowl.

He Li laughed at the side, Fang Weiai blushed inexplicably, and quickly picked up another piece for He Li: "Master He, you can eat it too. I don't know if the dim sum in Southwest China suits your taste."

He Li maintained her usual dignified and elegant appearance in front of Fang Weiai, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Second Miss. On Huashan Mountain, our food has always been light."

They talked and laughed softly, but Qin Gutong at the side was full of thoughts: Fang Weiai didn't sleep well last night, she must have been taken to see Aunt Ci by pressing her sleeping point.

Patiently accompanied them to the martial arts field, and fought a few tricks with He Li.Qin Gutong returned to his residence and looked at the opposite library for a long time in the main room.Seeing her, the old woman who delivered the meal greeted her from afar: "Miss Qin, where did you go yesterday? It's cold today, and eating cold food and cold dishes is not good for your health. You martial arts practitioners are in good health, but girls should still be careful." .”

The old woman was chattering, and while taking out the food in the food box, she suddenly paused and stared at the table in a daze.The old woman was stunned for a long time before she looked at Qin Gutong with a helpless expression.

There is a pile of silver on the table, all of which are five taels of small silver ingots.

Qin Gutong pushed forward the money in his hand, and said earnestly: "Since my father left, you have been taking care of me these few years, grandma."

The old woman was a little at a loss.

"I know Brother Zhao is in poor health and broke his leg again, but the wife still wants to marry." Qin Gutong pushed Yinzi further, until it was between the two of them.

The old woman's eyes were red, she touched her eyes, and said with a choked voice: "Miss Qin, old woman, I know you are kind-hearted. But you are alone, and these are personal money...I...Why do I ask you for this money for no reason, you still take it back go."

Qin Gutong smiled slightly, and pulled the old woman to sit down: "Grandma, this money was not given to you for no reason. I have a few things to ask you."

The old woman was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Qin Gutong puzzled and moved.

"I heard that the old lady died of illness?"

"Yes." The old woman nodded, and Qin Gutong handed her a piece of silver.She held the silver, her palms were hot.

Qin Gutong asked again: "Master never married again?"

The old woman nodded, and Qin Gutong stuffed another ingot of silver.She quickly said: "Master and Madam are a couple in need, and their relationship is good. Back then..."

After hearing her pause, Qin Gutong immediately took a piece of silver.The old woman's face flushed immediately, and she spoke without panting: "At the beginning, there was a shameless bitch who used some indecent means, and was finally kicked out by the master. The master's wife is very good."

Qin Gutong fell silent, the old woman looked at her and then at the pile of silver on the table, and swallowed.Qin Gutong raised his eyes and stared at her, the old woman felt trembling at the sight of her, and stammered and asked, "Qin, Miss Qin?"

"Grandma, I heard that the second young lady is not the wife's own."

The old woman's face turned pale immediately, and she looked outside the door.

Qin Gutong grabbed a handful of silver and stuffed it all into the old woman's hands: "Grandma, I know that the master treats you well. Eldest brother is also thanks to the master for seeing a doctor and taking medicine, but why don't you think about it, the master is so good at medicine, why the elder brother has never recovered .”

Startled, the old woman stood up again.The suspicion and resentment that had been suppressed for a long time were all aroused at this moment.It's like a dam burst and can no longer hold back the tide.

"These money is enough for my eldest brother to be a rich and idle person for a lifetime. Although the Fang family is powerful, if you are looking for a city where martial arts are banned, are you afraid that they will find it?"

After speaking, Qin Gutong waited quietly.

"Miss Qin, I'm afraid I don't know anything about what you want to know..."

"It's okay, you just need to tell me what you know. Start from the beginning and speak slowly."

"...Okay." The old woman took a long breath and slowly recalled, "I am a carpenter at the foot of Heming Mountain, and I married from a foreign country. At that time, Fang's family was very dilapidated. I heard people in the village say that It was said that Master Fang's alchemy was crazy and stupid, so he almost sold his wife and son. Later, he said that Master Fang even sold his son when he practiced alchemy, which was ugly.

I don't know what happened, but the Fang family got better afterward.I also heard that Mr. Fang has mastered alchemy and often goes out to sell medicine.The money from selling medicines is used to buy medicinal materials, and this has been going on like this.

Many years later, Young Master Fang made his name in the Jianghu, and everyone knew that he went to the mountains to practice martial arts.Everyone was looking forward to Young Master Fang's return. There were many wild animals in Heming Mountain, and people often died, so the Junhan Mansion couldn't control it even if it was far away.Those fast arresters in the county have superficial martial arts skills, and they often lose their lives even if they can't kill a tiger in the mountains.

Looking forward to it, Young Master Fang came back with a girl who looked like a fairy.That girl was born, and she was prettier than the person in the painting.But within a few days, Fang's family ran into trouble.The fire burned half the sky red, and I could see it clearly from the bottom of the mountain.Everyone thought that the Fang family was going to be burnt to death, but after a few days, Master Fang took people down the mountain to set up many coffins. "

Qin Gutong got a glass of water and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman gulped and drank, and then said: "Ever since I was the head of the house and left us mother and son, I can't sleep at night, thinking about the past. Otherwise, there are so many things that I can't remember. I don't know if it was burnt to death. Too many people, too many wronged souls. People disappeared in the villages and counties around Heming Mountain, and my head of the family also left at that time. Alas, during that time, it was really difficult for people to live. Every household posted yellow talismans. Close the door and lock the windows in the dark, lest the evil spirits catch them. I told you, later I found a pile of dead people in the valley, just like the hill."

The old woman narrowed her eyes: "Later, I found a lot of Taoist priests to do it, and then I gradually stabilized. After a few days, the Fang family began to rebuild. I heard that Master Fang saved a big man. I still remember that the carriage transporting goods has been going all the way from the foot of the mountain. Arranging to the mountainside, this high-rise compound just rises on the ground. I also entered the mansion at that time."

Although the old woman talked a lot, hearing Qin Gutong's ears, instead of solving the problems in her heart, she was full of doubts.She was patient and listened to the old woman continue.

"At that time, there were not many people in the mansion. The master was busy making alchemy, so he couldn't see anyone all day long. The young master was in seclusion, and he couldn't even see his shadow. At that time, Hero Qin was in charge of everything in the mansion." The old woman said, He glanced at Qin Gutong, afraid of poking her heart.

Qin Gutong didn't care, and nodded slightly, motioning for her to continue, but the old woman stopped.She wrung her hands and looked out of the house nervously.Qin Gutong didn't urge her either.The old woman was in a panic, and the money in her hand was scalding hot.

She licked her lips and said in a low voice, "Miss Qin, please don't spread this word."

Qin Gutong nodded, and said with a comforting smile: "Grandma, who have you seen me gossip with all these years?"

The old lady knew more or less the secrets of the library.Hearing this, he nodded, leaned close to Qin Gutong, and said in a low voice, "Second Miss is the daughter of County Magistrate Lin."
