Chapter 106
Looking at the ups and downs of the river, Hua Rujin couldn't help but recall Ye Chengwei's clean face in her mind.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, since you met him, he always seemed to be calm and breezy, as if he was indifferent to everything, but he always defended himself.

On the contrary, she herself always likes to be suspicious of others from time to time.

"Hey, I promised to prepare dark dishes for him today."

Looking up at the sky, there was no horse, and I was afraid that it would be too late to rush back.

Thinking about his poor cooking skills, he might as well not show his ugliness.

Just as he was about to get up and walk back, an unpleasant stench suddenly came from the surface of the river.

She fixed her eyes and found that the nearby river was like a stagnant ditch that couldn't flow, and the water quality was extremely black.

She walked to the riverside, took a handful of river water and sniffed it carefully, and found that there was a sour smell like coke in the river water.

"This is a bit strange."

The flowers are like a brocade. Looking far away, I always feel that the color of the entire river is not the same.

She first went to the southeast, and the river near the mountains near the river bank looked like a pool of stagnant water, and even the shallows could not see the situation in the river.

And the closer to the direction of the mountains, the stronger the stench in the water.

But she checked carefully near the mountains and found nothing abnormal, and there was no trace of the mountains being scorched.

"Strange, why did the river turn black, and where did the smell of charcoal come from?"

Hua Rujin was very confused.

In order to find out the difference, she walked in the opposite direction to the southwest again. She didn't know how far she had walked, and she could see that the river water became extremely clear. Although it was not clear to the bottom, it was not as dark as before. Feel the kindness of the connection between water and sky.

"Could it be that the river in the southeast has also become a river of quicksand, and there are some ghosts and ghosts living in the bottom of the water?"

Hua Rujin muttered to herself, seeing that it was getting late, she didn't dare to stay here alone, and started to rush towards the city.

Ye Chengwei came back from Yizhuang very late, and Hua Rujin was not found in the post house.

Thinking of the rift I had with her today, I felt a little sad for no reason.

But after thinking about it, this girl is just a lawyer to earn money, and even if the sacrifice to Jiang is found out, it will not be of any benefit to her.

The little girl of the Cheng family was not related to her, she just wanted to take care of this matter because of some sympathy.

When she wakes up, she will understand her painstaking efforts sooner or later.

Thinking of this level, he felt a lot more relieved.

Just looking at the twilight, he was a little worried that this girl hadn't returned to the post house yet.

Worried, he left the post house, only to see the old beggar lassing the horse leisurely in front of the door.

With sharp eyes, Ting An immediately recognized that the horse was the one Miss Hua took today.

"Senior, why is Miss Hua's horse with you?"

Ting An asked puzzled.

"Oh, my apprentice is filial, knowing that the old beggar has bad legs, so he gave up the horse to me and asked me to go back to the city first."

The old beggar replied without blushing, looked at the indifferent Zhuangyuan Lang, suddenly frowned, shook his head in a strange way and sighed bitterly:

"Hey, there are some people who just like to ask for trouble. They obviously did a good thing and insisted on making themselves heinous and disgusted by others. This is great. Everyone can't get down."

As he said that, he looked up at the sky on purpose: "I heard that Jiang'an County is not stable at night. My apprentice has been making a splash in the county recently. I don't know if someone will seek her bad luck."

Ye Chengwei lost his composure immediately when he heard this, and hurried towards the south of the city on a big black horse.

Ting An hadn't recovered from the old beggar's words, he held his chin and thought for a while, and then looked at the old beggar suddenly: "Old man, are you talking about my son?"

But the old beggar showed a faint smile towards Ye Chengwei's leaving direction without paying attention, and then strolled in the street swaggeringly.

On the way, they happened to meet Shu's carriage unexpectedly.

Shu Jinxuan saw the figure of the old beggar in the carriage, and quickly stopped the carriage.

Thinking that my cousin had already worshiped this strange old man as her master, she immediately treated him with a lot of respect.

Walking up to him, he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Did the old man go to the post house to visit his younger sister?"

"Sister sister?"

The old beggar raised his eyebrows: "Oh, it's the second son of the Shu family."

He was indeed an infatuated man, who followed him all the way to Jiang'an County.

It's a pity for his old lady.
Nie Yuan is ultimately harming others and oneself.

Thinking of this, the old beggar shook his head regretfully: "I heard that girl went to inspect the Yamen with Zhuangyuanlang today, so she should be with Zhuangyuanlang at this time."

"I see."

Shu Jinxuan had already heard Ah Si's report on this matter this morning.

The inspection department is not a place he can go to, so there is no need to worry if Ye Chengwei is with him.

But it made him uneasy that the two of them hadn't come back so late.

Just as he was about to go to the post house, the old beggar dragged him to a distant wine shop:
"It's said that I love my house forever, and there is a saying that one day I will be a teacher and my life will be a father. I am now the master of that girl. She is very disrespectful to me as a master. Second son Shu, you have to be filial for your cousin. I also just rushed over from Jiangling City, and I am thirsty, Second Young Master Shu, you will accompany the old beggar and me to drink two more cups today."

"I"

Shu Jinxuan was dragged directly into the wine shop by the old beggar before he could evade it.

The old beggar asked for a lot of delicious food and wine, and pestered Shu Jinxuan to change the cups, and it didn't take long for the elegant young man to get drunk.

"Hey, I haven't had enough fun yet, why did Second Master Shu fall down first?"

The old beggar looked at Ah Si who was frowning, and waved his hands resentfully: "Forget it, help your son upstairs to rest."

Ah Si saw that his young master was so drunk that he couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed, so he had to follow the old beggar's order to carry him upstairs to the guest room.

In the wine shop that gradually became quiet, the old beggar's joyful expression before was also followed by a lonely face. Thinking back to the conversation with the girl by the river, he felt very uncomfortable, and began to drink heavily. Finally, He fell headfirst on the table.

Hua Rujin walked north along the forest path until she could no longer see any scenery clearly. Thinking about what she had seen and heard in the past few days, she suddenly felt a little panicked.

"There really aren't zombies in this world, are there?"

With this thought, she unconsciously thought of the scene described by shopkeeper Hu, and she felt a little creepy for a while.

Thinking of the thousands of floating corpses in the Chu River made people feel even more numb.

When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of light horseshoes on the path.

Looking into the distance, she saw a cluster of torches slowly approaching towards her in the night.
