Chapter 241
"Let's go there too." Seeing that Ah Xiang came back alone, Xu Jiatong hurried to go.

Bi Shui supported Xu Jiatong, Ah Xiang supported the maid, and the group of four moved to the Zhuangzi.

The western capital is prosperous, but the surroundings of the western capital are not always the same.Especially in the past two years, the North-South War has not stopped, and the East-West War has started again. Some families have relatives in the north and west. After returning home, a war broke out, so he could not return for many years, and Zhuangzi and the house were left deserted.

Those vague houses just now appeared in front of my eyes. The eaves and courtyards are intact and there is no damage.It looks like the owner has left not long ago, or is in a remote place, and no one has found it.

Looking from a distance, there is still a road behind Zhuangzi, but it is overgrown with weeds, and it is hard to see where it leads.

Although there is a distance from the official road to here, it is not too remote.Although it is in the mountains, it is not very hidden, otherwise they would not be easily noticed by them.

The land around the Western Capital, although not every inch of land is very valuable, is still in short supply.If such a Zhuangzi has been deserted for such a long time and is not seized by others, people who come to ask for it will definitely leave a note or engrave a few words on the door so that the owner can see it when he returns.But nothing but dust on this door is dust, and the rest is very clean.

After entering Zhuangzi, even though the scenery was covered by vines, Xu Jiatong still kept an eye on it, not missing any unusual places.

"Ah Xiang, go and clean it up with Mother Zhao. She is old, and the place is full of dust, and the ground is uneven. If she falls, without a doctor, she might be killed." Xu Jiatong ordered.

Ah Xiang was worried about her, and refused to leave: "The maidservant will stay here and serve you with Sister Bishui."

"Go quickly, follow her, don't leave even one step." Xu Jiatong said with ulterior motives.

"Yes." Ah Xiang realized that she was not really smart, but in this crisis, she also became quick-witted.

Bi Shui helped Xu Jiatong to a side room that looked clean. When the door opened, there was a musty smell.Except for a few pieces of furniture, there is nothing in the wing room. The people here must have tidied up before they left.

"Wait a minute, there is something under the couch." Xu Jiatong stopped and stood still while holding the door frame.

Bi Shui stepped forward, bent down to look at it, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's some old clothes, curtains, and so on. This servant is going to get them out."

"No." Xu Jiatong's face darkened, and he thought for a while before saying, "I'm afraid that these things are not clean. What if the person who used them before has not left, but got some kind of disease and disappeared. Although it may have been a long time, but We can't be sure whether the disease has passed or not. You will go back to the carriage in a while, and bring back our burdens and money, and bring the oiled paper and the wormwood and oiled paper brought to Juexiao Temple. Put the oiled paper on your hands, Get things out."

"My servant asked Ah Xiang to come and accompany you." Bi Shui worried that she was here alone.

"Hush" Xu Jiatong looked into the depths of the house, turned around and said in a low voice: "You help me to the back of the wing room, there are too many people talking, they don't know where I am, so I'm fine. You go and come back quickly."

According to Bi Shui, he helped Xu Jiatong to the weeds behind the wing room, and said softly, "Fourth Miss, be careful, Ah Xiang is still trustworthy. If there is any movement here, you should call her first. Even if Zhao Ma and Cheng Ma have evil intentions, Ah Xiang can hold on for a while, and the servants will come back as soon as they go."

Xu Jiatong nodded weakly, covering his figure with weeds.The dislocated knee hurt even more, and beads of sweat fell on the weeds beside her.

Behind the house, I could vaguely hear the movement in the house. Ah Xiang and Zhao Ma were cleaning.Xu Jiatong sat like that for a while, her legs gradually became numb, and a sense of sleepiness came over her, she had to do something to keep herself from falling asleep.

She subconsciously pulled out two handfuls of weeds around her and put them by her feet to see what kind of grass it was.

"Huh?" Xu Jiatong stared at the grass root for a moment.

It was late autumn at this time, and the grass had grown to such a height, it should have germinated and grown in spring, how could the roots of the grass be so shallow?And the place close to the grass roots is also different from ordinary withered grass, as if it has been specially maintained.

Could it be that it was only transplanted here in the past few days?If so, then this deserted Zhuangzi...

Enduring the pain, Xu Jiatong crawled out. There is a main house and three side rooms in the courtyard. Ah Xiang and Zhao Ma are cleaning the main house.She climbed to the corridor of a wing room and touched under the window edge. Although there was a lot of dust on the surface, the window edge was very clean.

There was a bonsai wooden frame not far from the door. Xu Jiatong reached out and touched the place where the legs of the wooden frame touched the brick floor.She touched carefully, feeling all around the legs of the shelf carefully.

There is no accumulation of dust... It stands to reason that if this village has not been cleaned for a long time, and the shelf has not been moved for a long time, the dust accumulated on the corners should be thicker than the floor or the wooden boards of the table and shelf. Some.

If not, then this shelf was probably placed here later or even recently, and this Zhuangzi was probably vacated only recently... Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin...

Xu Jiatong smiled wryly, she was able to beat Lin for a while, but she was so lucky.But Lin's tree has big roots and deep roots, so he can seize the opportunity more often and have greater confidence.

"Mother Zhao, go to the nearby villages to get some food and buy a few jugs of spirits." Xu Jiatong shouted towards the main house.

Zhao's mother came out after a while, and said hesitantly: "Fourth Miss, I don't have any silver on me, just not a copper coin. Our silver and things are still in the carriage. We will clean it up later, let the girl go in and rest. The slaves went to the carriage to get things, and it’s not too late to buy food."

"I still have two silver coins here, you can take them. The house is for Ah Xiang to clean, so hurry up." Xu Jiatong said firmly.

"Where's the clear water? Why doesn't she come to serve the girl?" Mama Zhao looked around, and seeing that Xu Jiatong was unmoved, she asked again, "What do you want wine for? You hurt your bones, and drinking hurts your body."

"I'll ask Bishui to help me set my bones in a while, and I'll always have to clean it up with wine. Anyone can do this cleaning job, but it's better to go to the nearby villages to inquire about it, but it's better to be a mature and prudent person. You go and come back quickly, don't delay." Xu Jiatong said calmly.

"In this barren mountain, only a little girl, Ah Xiang, will serve you. The slaves are really afraid of accidents." Mother Zhao continued to evade.

"If bad people come, Zhao Ma, even if there are ten of you, it's useless. Could it be that you are still a hidden martial arts master? Go quickly, maybe you have left Ding'anhou's mansion, and you don't recognize me as your master Right?" Xu Jiatong looked at her coldly.

 Happy new year! It's 2015, Shuangshuang's first wish is to get a driver's license smoothly, what about your wishes?
