Chapter 32 Burial
In addition to the adopted daughter of the original owner, the Xu family also has a biological daughter and a young son.
The eldest daughter Xu Shanshan should be seventeen years old this year, and the youngest son is six years old.
Maomao asked her: "Shan, what should we do now?"
Xu Shanshan patted the dust on his hands and said: "First go and find out what the Xu family has committed."
"Who should I ask? The old woman just now seemed to be very taboo about this matter."
Her eyes were as calm as stars: "Of course I should ask someone who knows about this matter."
>For example?
"Nan Fengxu."
The Xu family and the Nanfeng family have always had a good relationship. The two families have also arranged baby marriages for their children. Clear the gap.
But Nan Fengxu and Xu Shanshan have always been in love with each other, and they will not be indifferent to the Xu family's affairs.
Nan Fengxu planned to enter an official career in the future, so he was studying at the prestigious Yingtian Academy in Huainan.
She came directly to the entrance of Yingtian Academy and waited quietly until noon, when the students had an hour to rest, and then some people came out to relax one after another.
A thin man came out with several classmates. He had delicate features and fair skin. He was wearing a fitted blue college robe, and he looked elegant.
This person is Nan Fengxu.
He seemed to be in a gloomy mood recently, with a frown on his face. People around him were laughing and talking jokingly, but he remained silent. Occasionally, when called, he would respond in a daze.
"Nan Fengxu."
Hearing someone calling his name, and it was a woman's voice, Nan Fengxu turned his head strangely, and happened to see someone waiting at the door of the academy. of Xushan Mountain.
At this time, Xu Shanshan changed her clothes again. She followed the original owner's dress in her memory, reforged a cloud gauze top, and gathered hibiscus as a dress. The color was rich and colorful.
But the complicated bun was too difficult to do, so she just wore a loose side braid and no makeup.
In this way, there is an "appropriateness" of both shades and lightness, which neutralizes the gaudy color.
After all, she was someone she had been with for several years. Even though she looked different, Nan Fengxu quickly recognized her based on her facial features.
"Xu Shanshan?"
He was surprised at first, then his face changed, disgusted and angry: "Why are you coming to me?"
"This is not a suitable place. Talk, I have something to ask you.”
She glanced around at the gossiping students at the entrance of the academy, and motioned to Nanfeng Xu to follow her if he didn't want to be watched and curious.
Nan Fengxu didn’t want to deal with her again, but...he hesitated for a moment, but endured the rejection and followed her.
The two of them arrived at a secluded place. Nangong Xu seemed to treat Xu Shanshan as a female gangster. Not only did he stay far away, he also looked vigilant to protect himself.
It’s no wonder that Nangong Xu is so defensive, because the original owner did give him some kind of medicine. If he hadn’t been determined and only focused on Xu Shanshan, he might have become the husband-in-law of the original owner. .
He was the first to ask: "Why did you come back suddenly? Didn't you leave with your master?"
"I just arrived in Huaijiang today. I have been to Xu Mansion."
"You want to ask about Xu Mansion?" Nangong Xu understood the reason why she came.
"Someone told me that the Xu family had committed a crime, so the house was ransacked."
Seeing that her expression was calm and not moved at all, Nangong Xu was so angry that his face turned red: "You are here to gloat and laugh at the joke, right? The Xu family has really raised you for so many years in vain. You are just a white-eyed wolf!"
Being scolded in front of you will make even a good-tempered person feel uncomfortable. , not to mention that Xu Shanshan is not an easy person to get along with. Her eyes were slightly cold, and the smile on her lips was sharp and sharp: "You don't need to judge who I am. I just want to know what happened to the Xu family? Where are Xu Shanshan and Xu Shuishui."
< br>
As soon as Nangong Xu heard Xu Shanshan's name, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Shanshan, Shanshan was sent to Black Island, that hell-like place. I don't know now... whether she is alive or dead."
He sucked it Sniffling, feeling utterly sentimental.
"The Xu family didn't commit any crime, they were framed and harmed. But I don't know what happened...My parents refused to ask me to investigate, and they didn't let me intervene. I only know that... this matter may be related to the Lei family."
Xu Shanshan listened to him quietly and then said: "Where are the two elders of the Xu family buried?"
"What do you want to do?! Xu Shanshan, I beg you, please let them go Xu Shanshan Come home, the Xu family is like this now. Whatever grudges you had with them in the past should be settled. If you really still have any conscience, considering how miserable the Xu family is..."
< br>He finally expressed what he was thinking: "Ask your powerful master to save Shanshan and her brother."
He heard that Xu Shanshan's master is known as the best fortune teller in the world. It's very powerful. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, it is still a hope.
However, Xu Shanshan's words directly broke the last hope in his heart.
"The grass on the grave of the divine fortune teller is probably taller than that of the Xu family."
"...Is he dead?" Nan Fengxu's face turned pale and he took a step back dejectedly.
"Let me ask you again, where are the bodies of the two elders of the Xu family buried?"
When her thin eyelids pressed down, she felt naturally strong and inviolable.
Nan Fengxu trembled, his tongue froze, and he shivered in his heart. When did she become so powerful?
"No, I don't know. They should have been dumped in a mass grave. I heard others say that corpses that are not collected are thrown there. I secretly went there to look for them and collect them as a filial piety for Shanshan, but then The place is too big, too scary, I, I never found it..."
He mumbled, with a look of guilt and pain on his face.
This man is like a flower in a greenhouse. He looks beautiful and innocent at first glance, but in fact, once he loses his comfortable environment and shelter, he has no resilience at all and will only be ravaged by suffering until he can't recover.
To put it clearly, he is the kind of person who can share wealth but cannot share adversity.
“Take me there.”
"What are you going to do in a place like that?"
Xu Shanshan was too lazy to answer his boring question. She only gave Nan Fengxu a look as deep as a pond and asked him to lead the way.
There was a large mulberry forest on the outskirts of the city, and next to it was a dried-up quagmire. When Nan Fengxu came here, he suddenly stopped. The reason why he did not continue walking was——
The pit in front has now turned into a corpse pit filled with dead people.
Looking up from the abandoned children and lonely old people to the hillside not far away, they saw numerous graves and earth bags, and the hoarse cries of crows in the dead woods...
The sky was already dark, and a blood-like color was sprinkled on the cemetery. There was silence all around. When the wind blew, Nan Fengxu seemed to be able to hear the breathing of the deceased.
He was feeling cold all over, but he saw a woman in Xu Shanshan who was so bold. She was walking forward, as if she couldn't even see the bones in the gloomy surroundings.
"Xu Shanshan——"
Nan Fengxu's heartbeat was so fast that it was in his throat, especially when it was almost night, and the lack of light in this ghost place was even more terrifying and heart-stopping.
"Just wait for me here."
Looking at her graceful back in the wind, Nanfeng Xu was stunned.
He didn't expect her to be so persistent. Is this an awakening of conscience after growing up, or is she becoming more vicious and not even wanting to let go of the corpse?
