Flower Moon

"Since it's a sunken pond, it's naturally at the bottom of the water." Lu Guanting's expression remained unchanged, showing no fear.

Chen Qiubi has been dead for three years. She has no relatives or friends, and her two children have disappeared from this world.In this world, not many people know her, and even fewer remember her.If she is not at the bottom of the river, where else can she be?

"Then that's strange." He Xing pondered for a moment, stared at Lu Guanting closely, and said, "I have sent people to investigate the Zisha River, but there are many women in the Zisha River who have been sunk in ponds, but they haven't found them yet. Chen Qiubi."

"You went to salvage the corpse?" Lu Guanting was shocked.

He Xing shook his head: "No. It's just that our Jiufangliao naturally has Jiufangliao's method. You don't need to know the reason, and you may not understand it. But in short, what I mean is that your child is very Natural death, your wife must also have a secret. You must be prepared."

He Xing didn't know what happened in the Lu family's family, but throughout the ages, there were many people who were chaotic and abandoned. If he was an official in the same dynasty, if he was willing to bow his head and tell the truth to himself, he might be able to find a way to save his life.But now, he gave him three chances, the first time when the incident happened; the second time he sent someone to stay at his house for ten days; the third time, this time.He spoke so clearly, if he still refused to tell, then he really couldn't save him.

This person is deep in thought and full of self-confidence. I'm afraid his self-confidence will kill him this time.

Lu Guanting shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "This official is also a victim, I don't know."

"..." He Xing sighed, waved his hand, and let him leave.

He Xing: "Go ahead."

It looked like looking at a dead person.

After Lu Guanting left Hongshan Temple, he did not return to Shiyongfang Lu Mansion, but went to Zisha River.

Zisha River is the place where women who did not abide by women's morals in Jingcheng were unified and sank into ponds.At the bottom of the pool, I don't know how many women like Chen Qiubi are lying there.Most of them, like her, were wronged.

As the instigator, Lu Guanting naturally knew that she had grievances, but according to his understanding of her, even if she had grievances, she would not complain.

When the stench came, Lu Guanting couldn't help covering his mouth and nose.

In the past, he had never visited this place in person, and it was not until today that he came here for the first time.I found out that the smell here is so unbearable.

The Zisha River is located in the southern suburbs of Jingcheng. Almost all the domestic sewage in Jingcheng is discharged into this river, and the downstream of the river is almost a stinky ditch.There were bursts of bad smell on the river surface, and unknown filth was floating around.There was no sign of breaking ground nearby, presumably He Xing saw the many wraiths floating on the river through the ability that ordinary people do not have.Among them, there was no Chen Qiubi.

Of course there will be no Chen Qiubi.

Chen Qiubi has been obedient and gentle since she was a child, even if she was beaten to death by him, she would not feel resentful.How could He Xing find her trace?
But what He Xing said was so convincing that he had to be suspicious.Could it be that Chen Qiubi has a helper?
If it is said that Chen Qiubi has acquaintances, after much deliberation, he only has Tao Yueer.But Tao Yue'er has not been in touch for several years, will she complain about Chen Qiubi?

impossible.

Tao Yue'er's temperament is more timid and fearful than Chen Qiubi, and she is more controllable than her.Besides, she couldn't protect herself, so where would she have the time to take care of Chen Qiubi?

A voice in his heart told Lu Guanting that it was impossible, but to be on the safe side, another voice told him that it was better to go to Tao Yueer to confirm.

Leaving Zisha River, exiting Chongwenmen, and walking south for two hours, you will arrive at Liujinfang.Although the name of Liujinfang is grand and rich, in fact, it is a well-known slum in Jingcheng.It was also the place where he grew up with Chen Qiubi and Tao Yueer.

Over the past ten years, people in Liujinfang have left and scattered, and there are not many houses left.Along the way, the atmosphere of decay and decay became stronger, and depression swept the land.

Lu Guanting walked all the way, sighing all the way, it is no wonder that the Holy Majesty has believed in gods more in recent years, because he believes that the droughts, floods, and frequent occurrences of strange things in various places must be related to heaven and man.

If heaven and man are not blessed, the fortune of the country will not be prosperous.So the Holy Majesty put all his hopes on the beginning of next year, and the five Tongtians went to Penglai.Therefore, they are even more negligent in taking care of the market.Liujinfang became even more dilapidated.

Suddenly, there were more flowers and trees gradually in the Liujinfang, which was not rich in vegetation, and the flowers and trees became more and more prosperous as they walked forward.

Begonias, apricot blossoms, irises, winter jasmine, and many other flowers that he couldn't name, clustered one after another, and at the end, there was a feeling of a hundred flowers competing for beauty.

Beside the road, towering trees rose up to block out the sun, and under the big tree was a two-story wooden house.It was rebuilt in the place where the three of them originally lived.Surrounded by layers of greenery, it looks like a castle.It can't be seen that it costs a lot of money in every place, it is just built of ordinary trees, which perfectly blends with the surrounding scenery.Naturally, but they are ingeniously crafted, and piled up together, it gives people a feeling that although this is a humble room, it is my virtue.

"Husband, if we get old in the future, we will find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and build a wooden house. We can spend our free time planting flowers and vegetables, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, what do you think?"

"As long as my wife likes it, I will like it. It's all up to you."

……

This scene made Lu Guanting think for no reason that he and Chen Qiubi had a sweet time when they first got married.At that time, he had no fame and money, and the two had less ambitious expectations for the future.There are not as many audiences as later, and people will be satisfied if they have less expectations.I just think it's great for the two of you to be together.

Unexpectedly, the more you have later, the more you will lose.In the end, I lost myself too.

Lu Guanting was a little moved when he saw the spring in his old place. Suddenly, his eyes opened suddenly, his pupils constricted, as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene.

Under the tree not far in front, there was a person wearing a blue dress and a gold pearl hairpin on his head. In the middle of the pearl hairpin, three pearls could be seen shaking back and forth.There are many styles.And on that man's right arm, a golden armband is very attractive.

It was the one that Tao Yueer sent back then.

Lu Guanting's heart speeded up suddenly, almost jumping to his throat.

It's Chen Qiubi!

Is she still alive? !
Lu Guanting walked over in two or three steps, and pulled her arm suddenly, the tentacles were warm.

She is not dead, she is alive.

"... Qiubi?" Lu Guanting said hoarsely, but the next moment, he realized that this person was not Chen Qiubi.It was an old friend he and Chen Qiubi hadn't seen in three years.

It's Tao Yue'er.
