Ten kinds of flowers 17
It was already midnight when Bao Ruoyou returned home. At noon the next day, Huo Weilou came to pick her up. The two of them went to the princess mansion to visit. The eldest princess was still confused and could not remember the past, but every day He is silly and cheerful, rarely gets angry or crazy, and is actually quite at ease.
She did not recognize Huo Weilou that day. After the three of them had lunch, Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou accompanied her to fold a few wintersweets and put them in bottles. When the sun set in the west, Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou left. To the princess mansion.
Getting on the carriage, Huo Weilou asked the driver to go to the Hou Mansion. Bo Ruoyou said, "Wait a minute." She held Huo Weilou's hand and said, "Master Hou, let's go out of the city tomorrow to have a look."
Huo Weilou's expression became serious.
Bao Ruoyou sighed when she saw his expression. She was also afraid, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until after his birthday to go, but she didn't want to delay it until after the new year. If the case was not solved for a day, this year would be uneasy.
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, "Going to the Ming family now?"
Bo Ruoyou responded, Huo Weilou knocked on the carriage, and the driver turned the horse's head.
This was Bao Ruoyou's decision. In order to celebrate his birthday, he had just said that he would reply to Ming Guilan in three days. Huo Weilou understood this and just held Bao Ruoyou's hand tightly in the carriage.
When he arrived at the Ming Mansion, he reported the reason and was soon greeted by Ming Guilan. When he saw the two of them coming together, Ming Guilan understood instantly. After some discussion and a time, Huo Weilou sent Bo Ruo to You return home.
On the way, Huo Weilou kept a straight face and said nothing. Bo Ruoyou tilted her head to look at his appearance, thinking how cold and terrifying Huo Weilou was when he was in Qingzhou. At that time, she was quite afraid of him, and she never imagined that he would be there. In today's situation, and in the current Huo Wei Building, no matter how much strangers are kept away from her, she will not feel scared.
Huo Weilou couldn't hold back when she looked at him like this. His expression was soft, but the worry in his eyes couldn't be concealed. He fought on the battlefield when he was young, and later took charge of the direct envoys. Everyone knew that he was ruthless and ruthless. I haven't been so indecisive in I don't know how many years.
He intertwined his fingers with hers and said in a gentle voice, "Wear warmer clothes tomorrow. Gui Lan will follow you, so there is no need to worry too much."
I don’t know who he was trying to appease by these words. Bo Ruoyou responded with a smile. Seeing that he was more nervous than she was, she suddenly became relaxed. The carriage drove slowly, and Bo Ruoyou discussed the case with Huo Weilou again. After a long business trip, he regained his composure and composure.
When she returned home, she had dinner with Cheng Yunzhi, and read medical books with him in the study for a long time. Finally, she just said to Cheng Yunzhi: "Father, tomorrow I want to go out of town to see the place where my brother's body was found. Look."
Cheng Yunzhi was naturally worried, but Bo Ruoyou went to Huo Weilou to accompany him, which made him feel relieved.
Early on the next morning, Huo Weilou came to take her out of the city. Ming Guilan waited for her at the city gate. The two parties met and headed towards the Luohe River outside the city.
The sky had been gloomy for many days, and as soon as the group left the city, snow started to fall again, and the cold wind howled by. They drove lightly and simply to the location of the ruined temple.
The banks of the Luo River are now bustling with activity, even more so than before. The gentle **** of the mountain where the ruined temple is located has been cleared of forest. Now it has been bought by the nobles in the city and built gardens. The carriage is parked by the road. Ming Guilan is pointing from a distance. On that hillside, "the ruined temple was right there back then, just a stick of incense away from the riverside lantern market at the foot of the mountain. At that time, the two banks were bustling with the lively boats on the river, and the market was only one long street. Now, But it has become a phenomenon."
Bo Ruoyou looked towards the river in the distance. Along both sides of the river, there were rows of wine shops and teahouses. Various boats were docked by the river. It was not yet noon, but there was the sound of singing music. It is said that in the evening, you can imagine how lively it will be.
Ming Guilan pointed to a remote place in the distance again, "The house I'm looking for is there. It's an old house. It looks good from the outside, but it's deserted inside. I ordered people to make it more dilapidated, and it's even more dilapidated. I found the damaged Buddha statues and decorated it the same as the ruined temple back then, but I don’t remember exactly what it was after so many years, so I can only have a general appearance.”
Bo Ruoyou calmed down and said, "It's okay, let's go now."
Ming Guilan's carriage led the way, and Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou's carriages followed. The cold wind poured in from the gaps in the curtains, making Bo Ruoyou's hands cold, and the closer he got to Ming Guilan's purchase. The feeling of panic in her heart became more and more intense.
Huo Weilou wanted to warm her hands, but she took her hand out of Huo Weilou's palm and said, "Let me go in by myself later. No matter what happens, Mr. Hou, don't worry about me."
She doesn't need Huo Weilou's comfort at the moment.
In the bottom of her heart, four-year-old Bo Lanzhou stayed in that long night forever. Now, she has to return to that desperate and fearful place. She should be frightened and helpless, and she should be isolated and helpless.
When the carriage stopped, Bo Ruoyou's face was condensed, and the uncontrollable tension made her back stiff. She got out of the carriage without Huo Weilou's help, looked at the half-old courtyard in front of her, made a little preparation, and stepped in Courtyard gate.
Huo Weilou was a few feet behind and followed her slowly.
The snow in the yard was mottled and overgrown with weeds. The doors and windows of the main room facing it were all broken and fell to the ground. At this moment, several dark window holes were blowing with the cold wind. Bo Ruoyou walked slowly to the door and took a look. We arrived at the leaning Buddha statue inside the house.
The base of the Buddha statue has collapsed, and the body of the Buddha is mottled with vermillion paint. The ground is covered with dust, and spider webs are knotted on the beams. The bright yellow curtains hanging around it are dirty and damaged. Bo Ruoyou can vaguely hear the rustling of mice in the dark. Voice.
Ming Guilan put a lot of thought into it.
But Bo Ruoyou looked at the scene in front of her. Apart from the feeling of palpitations, she didn't think of anything else in her mind. She stepped into the room, and when she glanced around, she caught a glimpse of the low cabinet under the west window.
The short cabinet was waist-high, and the door was tightly closed. Above it, the cold wind raised a few shabby curtains, swaying up and down, and Bao Ruoyou slowly held his breath.
The weather that day was as cold as today, the sky was darker than now, and the cold wind howled outside the window. A pair of four or five-year-old siblings were thrown to the ground like cargo.
They were lightly drugged. When the murderer saw them sleeping, he found the prepared ropes and tied their hands and feet. Just a few months ago, a boy who was two years older was arrested because of his own injuries. Due to negligence, he escaped from here.
The rope was tied quite securely, and the murderer smiled mockingly, turned around and walked out the door.
It was so cold on the ground that the cold brother and sister woke up from their sleep. The four-year-old brother, who was already weak and timid, began to cry repressedly. Even though the sister was afraid, her survival instinct made her think How to escape.
Bo Ruoyou's eyes wandered around and he caught sight of the broken tiles piled up with dust on the ground.
Yes, tiles. My sister curled up and touched the tiles, and clumsily cut the rope that tied the two of them in the dark. The door was closed, and it was dark night outside. There might be ghosts hidden in the howling cold wind. Just go out and devour them.
However, they have to escape, the bad guys will come back, and they have to escape.
The younger brother became more and more frightened, and the elder sister couldn't help crying. At this moment, the strange bell rang. The sound of the bell became clearer and more melodious, but in such a cold night, it was extremely eerie and terrifying. The sound of the bell was getting closer and closer, and the fear of extinction made them unable to move. At this time, through the thin dim light of the window lattice, they saw the low cabinet in the corner.
Cold sweat broke out on Bo Ruoyou's forehead. The cold night of twelve years ago and the light and shadow of today intertwined, making her feel like a dream. In the yard, Huo Weilou and Ming Guilan were waiting in the distance, but she felt There was a gleam on her back, as if the murderer was watching her from outside that night.
She subconsciously walked towards the low cabinet.
Her heart was about to jump out of her chest. In the whole dilapidated hall, it seemed that only the short cabinet was the safe place. She became more and more frightened, and her steps became faster and faster. When she walked to the short cabinet, she grabbed the cabinet. The door opened.
The short cabinet was divided into two floors, which was much smaller than she imagined. Her forehead twitched suddenly, and she suddenly couldn't think of how to hide next, and the cold wind behind her made the curtains rustle, as if The murderer's footsteps were approaching, and Bao Ruoyou's breathing became rapid, her whole body lost strength, her eyesight turned black, and she fell softly amid a burst of unstoppable trembling.
The fear that only appeared in dreams had a clear control over her. It seemed as if someone was speaking in her ear. She carefully identified it and found that it was the cry of a child. The childish cry was like a dull knife cutting into her heart. , Gradually, the crying became real, as if it was in the cabinet in front of her. Bao Ruoyou was so scared that she closed the cabinet door and wanted to escape, but she couldn't stand up. At this moment , the devil-like footsteps in the dream were clearly approaching her.
A pair of hands grabbed her.
The fear of death caused her to burst out with strength. She struggled desperately, but her vision was getting darker and darker. At this moment, she touched something in her hand. She gritted her teeth and pierced the hard object with all her strength. On that person...
"Youyou!"
"Youyou——"
In the boundless darkness, a distant call awakened her consciousness. Bo Ruoyou opened her eyes in the endless chill, and met Huo Weilou's worried gaze.
She was carried into the carriage. Her whole body felt as if she had been fished out of ice water. Her fingertips could not stop trembling. Her deep and beautiful eyes were dark and empty, as if her soul had disappeared, leaving only a shell. .
"Youyou, wake up, wake up quickly——"
"Is she not awake? I want to be accurate!"
"No, don't delay, return to the city immediately..."
Huo Weilou's voice was far and near, and Bo Ruoyou's consciousness flickered on and off like a weak candle. Huo Weilou held the person in his arms and held a hundred-jin bow without shaking. His hands were a little unable to hold her firmly at this moment.
"Injury..."
Just when Huo Weilou was in a state of panic, her weak hoarse voice rang out. Huo Weilou hurriedly lowered his eyes to look, only to see Bo Ruoyou raising his right hand tremblingly. She was empty. There was a gleam like a firefly in his eyes, and he said with difficulty: "The murderer was injured... there must be scars on his body..."
