Wusuduo touched his cheek in confusion: "Is it so obvious?"

Yan Zhou nodded and asked, "Did something happen?"

Wusuduo was tortured by Aunt Wan so much that she didn't sleep all night. She didn't mean to hide anything and replied directly:

"Yesterday, there was a fire in the Lishi Garden. It is said that another personal maid and two guards were having an affair in private, and the conflict caused the fire... Aunt Wan summoned everyone yesterday and stayed up late to copy the garden rules... I copied it quickly. Yes, but I haven’t finished copying it until now.”

After expressing his depression, Wusuduo finally felt a lot more comfortable, yawned long and his eyelids twitched.

"I'm going to bed, you can do it yourself."

She reminded in a low voice: "The guards at the door are very strict now."

After that, he went to the cubicle.

Yan Zhou was thoughtful. It seemed that the fire had heightened the vigilance of the entire village.

At three o'clock in the morning, Aunt Wan asked Yan Zhou and Zhang Ke to gather at the room where they practiced painting.

They said they were learning painting, but in fact they didn't think they could learn it well. They were just trying to show off, asking them to recite the behaviors and habits taught in the book.

Yan Zhou happened to bump into Zhang Ke on the way there, and he was the first to smile when he saw her. Different from the shy and reserved one before, the smile at this time was a bit colder, and the evil look in his moist eyes was highlighted.

Yan Zhou smiled back and watched the other person's back as he left.

Who is she?

……

Aunt Wan was sitting at the tea table, looking at the two girls kneeling in front of her, as if they were tasting the goods carefully.

After seeing Zhang Ke's meek and standard demeanor, he nodded with satisfaction and said:
"It seems... that fire made you grow a lot."

Zhang Ke lowered his head and said nothing.

Aunt Wan laughed: "I called you here today mainly to tell you that the festival will start tomorrow."

"You must prepare well before this."

She then rambled on a lot, generally speaking about many things to pay attention to during the festival, and also threatened, ridiculed and intimidated them, so that they would give up their thoughts of escaping and wait for their choice with peace of mind.

Yan Zhou found it interesting, but there was one point she seemed to have overlooked.

Since they are the candidate brides of the River God, and compared with the hasty sacrifices before, they have a high probability of being selected this time... Out of the mentality of not offending the potential contestants of the future wives of their immediate bosses, they shouldn't say such harsh words.

Moreover, it can be seen from the paranoid love of the River God for Miao Miao in the dream that he will not accept a new person so easily.

Miaomiao said that she was born in a yin year and a yin month in a yin time.

Both my body and Zhang Ke's birth date are yin... Is there any connection between them?

Suddenly, her body stiffened and she subconsciously clenched her hands.

Someone was watching them from a secret place.

To be cautious, Yan Zhou cleared his mind and listened to Aunt Wan's words attentively.

Next to him, Zhang Ke glanced at Yan Zhou calmly and felt a little subtle when he saw that the girl was really listening attentively.

Is this man... really a pure good person who doesn't fight for anything?
She remembered that when they first met, the other person was very calm...not like ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ke frowned slightly.

His gaze didn't stay long. Yan Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the other person leave.

Aunt Wan's eyes moved slightly: "That's almost what I said, you can go back, by the way -"

She added: "Go back and have a good rest. I will take you to the festival early tomorrow morning."

Yan Zhou and Zhang Ke nodded, their eyebrows gentle and calm.

Not noticing anything strange, Aunt Wan waved her hand, signaling that they could leave.

When the two of them walked away, a man with long hair and black robe walked out from behind the screen.

As soon as he came out, Aunt Wan immediately knelt down on the ground and called out respectfully: "Sir." Gong Fu responded casually, and then said: "How are they doing with their physical condition these days?"

Aunt Wan lowered her head and replied: "A certain amount will be added to each meal, which will not harm the body and can regulate the body's constitution. Now it is almost in line with your expectations."

"You just have to wait until the festival..."

"Which one of them do you think is the most suitable?"

Gong Fu interrupted Aunt Wan.

"This……"

Aunt Wan was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to ask her this question, so she thought about it and replied:

"I think the girl in the pine-colored skirt just now is very good, both in personality and appearance."

Gong Fu frowned: "Character? No one can compare to her."

"She's one of a kind."

Aunt Wan knew she had said the wrong thing, so she kept silent for a moment, secretly sighing in her heart that Lord River God loved that person so much that it would be an understatement to say that he was like a pearl or a jade.

Even if someone else looks like her, she will scold her...

"Have there been any strange people in the village recently?"

Recalling the invisible spy in his dream, Gong Fu always felt uneasy.

Aunt Wan shook her head: "No, except for those two little girls, no outsiders have come in."

"But I heard that there was a fire in the Lishi Garden."

Aunt Wan: "It's just a personal grudge between three people. My subordinates have already checked it out. You don't have to worry."

"That's good."

The palace talisman caressed the pink wind chimes on her sleeves, and the crisp collision sound was sweet and moving. This sound... it was as if she was still there.

"There is no room for error in this festival."

-

On the way back, Zhang Ke never returned to his residence and followed Yan Zhou. This state continued until the two of them met You Li.

He seemed to be waiting here on purpose, and said to the two of them solemnly:

"I have found all the remaining possessed people. Let's have a meeting together. The location will be in the wooden house at the foot of Qingshan Mountain. No one is there."

Tomorrow is the festival, but several of them have not even seen the big boss, the River God. A war without any warning is destined to be difficult to win.So at this moment, he didn't care about concealing his identity and directly made the relationship clear.

Yan Zhou nodded and looked sideways at Zhang Ke.

The other party was not surprised.

Yan Zhou raised his eyes slightly. Could it be that the two mercenaries told He Xu?
……

At the appointed time, several people arrived as promised. When they arrived at the scene, Yan Zhou found that except Zhang Ke, everyone else had arrived.Those who came were the two unlucky guys who had signed the master-servant contract with him, plus two people dressed as ordinary villagers.

The two men in ordinary clothes were huddled in the corner, trying hard to cover up their figures, which was very strange.

So Yan Zhou looked at You Li questioningly.

You Li coughed lightly and said: "One of these two people is possessed by a husband who was abused at home, and the other is possessed by a fool who has been bullied all year round..."

The meaning is obvious, these two people have been bullied enough.

Yan Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth, he was so lucky.

When Lao Hei and Hou Hou saw Yan Zhou retreating together, the vigilance in their eyes almost popped out.

The gentle and smiling girl in front of them was the person who almost killed them before... and even now half of their lives were still in their hands.
