Chapter 21: Night Stalking

After leaving Mengjun Villa, I went straight to the orchard next to the wooden house.

"I know you'll come to me."

The charming voice of the fox demon came as scheduled. When I turned my head, she was already standing behind me with a twist. It seemed that every move of her could make her body more bends, as soft as a ribbon. As long as you wave your hand, she could wrap around your whole body, making it impossible for you to break free. Of course, there are many people not only not want to break free, but also obsessed with such entanglement, but they don’t know that it is enough to be fatal.

"How do you know I'm here to find you?"

"No one in this world can forget my beautiful appearance, whether it is a man or a woman, so of course you will come to me." She was still slutty, but I knew that she must have known that I had met You Ruojun.

"You Ruojun is sick, do you know?"

"Of course I know, I hope she will die of illness sooner."

"Since she is sick, why don't you take this to attack her? Why do you have to make any deals with me?"

Her eyes flashed, and there were indeed some concerns on her beautiful face.

"Does she have something else to restrain you?"

She turned around slightly, as if she was deliberately avoiding it. I finally understood that what she was really afraid of might not be You Ruojun's demon-turning water.

"If you really want to do this deal with me, it's best not to hide too much, otherwise I will slowly lose interest."

"Are you more interested in this matter than the two secrets I mentioned?"

She immediately hid her loss of consciousness and wanted to change the topic.

There was indeed a tremor in my heart, but I still smiled at her calmly and said, "I'm all interested."

She seemed to hear what I meant.

"Okay okay, if you kill her for me, I will tell you all the secrets I know. This is OK, right?" She looked at me coquettishly, and her eyes seemed to be filled with grievances.

I avoided her pretending pretentiousness and told her seriously: "Give me two months and I will complete the transaction naturally."

She smiled flatteringly and said in a sweet voice: "Okay, in those two months, I will be waiting for you here."

Before she finished speaking, her figure gradually disappeared into the air.

Back at Zhuoyun Xiaozhu, for some reason, the weeping willows in Mengjun Villa always appeared in front of me, and the back of Meng Yunzhong closing the door. In the end, I focused all my thoughts on the scene of meeting You Ruojun. I thought about every detail for no reason, as if I was deliberately savoring the anger and jealousy that I made her, and the bets I made with her. In fact, I also had a question in my heart, who would be the winner of this bet? As I thought about it, I suddenly felt ridiculous. Even if she did not marry Meng Yunzhong, even if I won, so what? Can I appear in front of Meng Yunzhong openly?

When I thought of this, I felt a lot of sorrow. Suddenly, I felt something similar to pain began to spread on me. So I deliberately changed my thoughts. Strangely, I slowly talked about focusing on You Ruojun's weak face, especially the wrinkles that were faintly visible on her face.

I suddenly became interested in her illness. What happened between her and Meng Yunzhong these days? Or what happened to her herself? A demon-catching man has also practiced some spiritual power. How could he inexplicably get such a serious illness?

In a second thought, I remembered what Meng Yunzhong said beside her bed. Then, the image of the man in purple clothes appeared in front of me. They all mentioned a person: Mr. Fu. Meng Yunzhong also said that Mr. Fu's medicine can cure You Ruojun's disease, so what kind of miraculous effects does this medicine have? Will You Ruojun really be cured after taking the medicine?

With this question, I was already outside the door of Fu Yuanwai's Mansion at midnight that day.

Compared with Mengjun Villa, Fu Yuanwai's Mansion is much more ordinary and small, and the furnishings are not unique. In addition to reflecting that the owner has some family background, it seems that there are only a few more villas than other residential houses. The walls of the Yuanwai's Mansion are covered with green vines, and it seems that this mansion is a bit old. There are bright lanterns hanging at the gate, and everything seems peaceful and quiet. It is impossible to see that Fu Yuanwai is a very elegant person, nor can it see that the mansion has any herbal smell. Could it be that there is a master who is proficient in medicine in this mansion? Or is it that the guests invited by Fu Yuanwai?

I first walked around the Yuanwai Mansion, then set up a hidden area to enter the mansion. I walked through the various courtyards, but I got nothing. The main courtyard where Mr. Fu lives has many rooms, which is considered grand, but the layout and furnishings of ordinary wealthy families are relatively similar. The people sleeping inside are nothing but the wives, concubines and children of the Yuanwai Mansion, and the handyman room close to the backyard of the Yuanwai Mansion. In short, I didn't find a decent house that could be called a pharmacy, and I couldn't even smell a trace of medicine. Moreover, except for the servants and maids who were watching, no one else walked around in the mansion.

This trip seemed to have nothing to find, and I couldn't figure it out. How could there be a master in such an extremely ordinary landlord courtyard? How could there be a prescription for You Ruojun? Did they just make an appointment with a doctor to prescribe a prescription for You Ruojun here? Why do you have to take such a big turn?

With many unsolvable doubts, I left the Yuanwai Mansion. Even though I looked around the Yuanwai Mansion carefully, I still found nothing unusual. I had to go back to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu in disappointment and recall the details carefully.

The night was extremely slow, and the bet with You Ruojun made me confused. With the deal with the fox demon, the secrets of Fu Yuanwai's mansion, and Meng Yunzhong's back gradually walking away... As soon as I closed my eyes, many fragmented and damaged images continued to appear, and many people flashed by, or overlapped together, causing my chest to feel stuffy, as if the demon poison had occurred again, forcing me to hold Cangli's sword tightly in my arms. Occasionally I could hear Yunjin familiar with her outside.

As he whispered to sleep, he gently turned over, and Zhuo Yun Xiaozhu also shook slightly. This shock only made me suddenly wake up from my vague consciousness. This state continued until Yun Jin gently rubbed his nose to open my door. Zhuo Yun Xiaozhu couldn't tell the difference between the night and the day. I used Yun Jin to wake me up in such a special way every morning, but this time, when Yun Jin's huge head reached into the room and looked towards the bed, I was already sitting in the hall.

It seemed to be surprised, and looked at me for a moment before putting something down from its mouth. It was a piece of rag. I went up to pick it up, touched its head, and it made a comfortable whine. I looked carefully and it seemed to be a corner of the scarf. I looked at Yun Jin, smiled at it, nodded, indicating that I had understood. In fact, this is the way Yun Jin communicated with me. Recently, it was it for me to find traces of monsters or other evil monsters around me, and then from them

I brought me something back and asked me to use it as a clue to find it. Of course, it will point me to the general direction and distance so that I can find it faster. Although I was also very puzzled how it made its huge body not discovered by others, it seemed to have become a habit. Moreover, it always gave me information in this special way in the morning, so I had time to play with me during the day. When I entered the night, I left Xiaozhu alone to look for clues.

I grabbed the half scarf it brought back and leaned over my nose and sniffed it. I thought it would be a faint fragrance, but unexpectedly smelled the unique body scent of the man. I smiled at Yunjin and said, "The clues you are looking for are getting weirder and weirder."

Yun Jin stretched his head out of the room again, making a strange hum, but he looked a little proud, as if he had deliberately caused me a problem and seemed to feel very accomplished. But I could only make it a little unhappy.

"Yun Jin, I have to go to the town today and can't accompany you anymore. You can rest in the small building." For some reason, I felt a little guilty when I said this, because when I saw Yun Jin, I was stunned for a moment, and then a sad look instantly appeared in my eyes. It hummed twice gently, turned around and walked away silently.

"How about I find the monster as soon as possible tonight and come back with you?"

I promised it behind it, but it was still a little disappointed. I just responded lightly and slowly walked around behind Xiaozhu.

I sighed and suddenly felt that I no longer regarded it as a spirit beast. It seemed to have its own feelings and thoughts. It relies more and more on me and is willing to accompany me at all times. I also felt that it was very close to me. I began to treat it with an attitude towards people, and would try my best to take care of its feelings and feel its mood from its every move. But today, I had to go to the town, naturally because of my bet with You Ruojun.

Today's town is extremely lively, as if it was a day to go to the market. Even the originally quiet gate of Mengjun Villa was bustling with stalls, and occasionally pedestrians would come over to take a look. The servant named Yingfu was still slowly sweeping the dust at the door and with the unnoisy voices, the entrance of Mengjun Villa presented an extremely peaceful picture. Even the gate of the villa was open, and it seemed that he was deliberately absorbing harmonious popularity.

I was still wearing a folk girl's long skirt, slowly bypassing the pond and weeping willows at the entrance of Mengjun Villa, pretending to be picking up the girl's house rouge powder on the stall. Then, when I raised my eyes again, the gate of Mengjun Villa was already in front of me, and the fresh and clean smell flowing from the village made me feel very comfortable because the smell was also mixed with his smell.

The servant named Yingfu was still waving the broom next to me, and he didn't seem to notice that I was slowly walking towards him until I stood in front of him. When he looked up, he was a little surprised and stopped his work, and then he looked confused. In addition, I deliberately showed some cowardice and hesitation, which made him even more confused.

"Brother, is there a man named Meng in this house?"

"Uh...yeah." He realized after a swaying heart, "That's my master's sworn brother. Are you looking for him?"

"Um……"

"Then wait, I'll go in and pass the message for you."

I quickly called him, "I'm here not to meet Meng Yunzhong like this."

"No need, brother! I just want to ask you to bring me something for him." As I said that, I took out an envelope from my sleeve, which contained a sweat towel. It was discovered when I was cleaning the wooden house a few days ago. Its owner was naturally the person I wanted to meet in the house.

I handed the envelope to Yingfu, saluted him, thanked him, and turned around and left. After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but look back at the gate of Mengjun Villa. Even though there was a deliberate component, there was still a hint of expectation and concern from the heart. An ordinary mahogany door was still open and open. The person in my heart was in a certain place, but I couldn't go in at this moment, and I felt a little disappointed. I saw Yingfu holding the envelope in his hand and still standing in place looking at me in confusion. I nodded to him again, and turned around and left anxiously.

Walking among the crowded crowds of the market, I seemed to be unable to hear what people were saying or doing. Before I knew it, I walked to the other end of the market. When I looked up, I saw that it was Fu Yuanwai Mansion. As soon as I came back from the loss of consciousness, I saw that the gate of Yuanwai Mansion was half-closed, and there seemed to be sighing voices. I wanted to avoid it, but then I thought that now I am just an ordinary folk woman from top to bottom, and it is not surprising that I just walked by the market. So I stood openly on one side of the gate, waiting for the gate to open to see what the people living in Yuanwai Mansion looked like.

After a while, the old door was opened by an old servant wearing dark brown cotton clothes. Then he respectfully gave it to the side. Behind him was a young man in brocade robe, dressed in a somewhat particular manner, with a high-quality Hetian jade pendant on his waist and a closed origami fan in his hand, which looked unusual. This man knew that he had some status in the mansion at a glance.

"Young Master, please walk slowly."

The old servant stepped aside and bent his waist but politely sent the young man out of the door. Sure enough, this man should be the eldest master of the Fuyuan outside the residence. No wonder he was full of the aura of a wealthy man, but he didn't look arrogant and extravagant, and he was a bit elegant and not annoying.

He smiled at the old servant and then stepped out of the threshold gracefully. I stood by and watched his every move with my eyes, but I still couldn't see how different he was from ordinary people. Until he left the door and walked around me, I suddenly stood there. He was actually turbid evil spirit! To be precise, it was demon spirit. I immediately had many speculations, but no matter what, I also concluded that he was not like a demon. In this way, this official's mansion was not as simple as I saw it.

When the young master gradually drifted away, I didn't obviously turn my head and think about his back carefully. Could it be that there is a demon beside him? But looking at his appearance, it is not mysterious or fearful. Perhaps this demon is just hidden in the mansion, and no one knows his identity yet.
