"Hey! This arrangement is very good, so it's settled." Situ Yi was immediately delighted.

It's just that Situ Wen, who was sobbing on the side, was not very satisfied when she heard it. She looked at Song Wuya coldly, bit her teeth lightly, and wanted to say something but she held back.

The matter was settled like this, after Situ Yi left, Song Wuya took Bai Zhuo to rest for a night.

In the days that followed, Song Wuya and Situ Wen buried his father-in-law together, and Bai Zhuo also helped out for more than a month, and only after this time did everything in the house be properly arranged.Situ Mansion's family has a big business, leaving a group of servants to watch the courtyard, Situ Wen packed up some things, took the carriage Song Wuya found, and went straight to Songjiang.

"Sister-in-law, we can enter Songjiang within half a month." Bai Zhuo drove the carriage, together with Song Wuya, they left Xiaoshan with Situ Wen and one of her personal maids.

What Song Wuya didn't expect was that Bai Zhuo, a poor scholar, could actually drive a carriage. It turned out that he had done this kind of business in the past without money.

A group of people left Xiaoshan, after traveling for more than ten days, they finally entered Songjiang territory.

"Brother Wu Ya, it's getting late. I see a light in front of me. It's probably a village. Let's rest here for a night. We'll arrive in Songjiang Mansion before noon tomorrow." Bai Zhuo turned his head to Song Wuya who was beside him. Said, while pointing to the light in the distance.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Song Wuya was not familiar with these things, so he could only listen to Bai Zhuo's arrangements.

Soon the carriage drove into the village, and it was already past the meal time in the evening.Originally, the farmers in this village should have rested at this time, but the lights are on in every house.

"Hey! What's going on here?" Bai Zhuo looked at the bright lights in the village, but he didn't see anyone in the village going out, so he was puzzled.

Song Wuya couldn't figure out why, he frowned and thought about it for a while, then smiled: "Brother Bai, don't think too much, let's find someone to spend the night with."

Bai Zhuo nodded. The carriage drove in the village, looked around, and finally stopped the carriage in front of a family.

"I think this family has a tall courtyard wall, so it must be a wealthy family in the village. Let's stay here for one night."

After saying that, Bai Zhuo got out of the carriage and knocked on the courtyard door.

"Who are you?" An old farmer opened the courtyard door, looked at Bai Zhuo outside the door, turned his head and glanced at Song Wuya sitting on the carriage, and asked.

"Old man, we are passers-by, and it seems to be getting dark, so we want to stay at your house for one night." Bai Zhuo said politely to the old man.

After these words, the old man opened the courtyard door, his face suddenly became tense, and he hurriedly said to Bai Zhuo: "Oh, it turned out to be a passing guest. Come in quickly, come in quickly.!"

Bai Zhuo was overjoyed, and immediately drove the carriage into the courtyard.The old man was kind, he led them into the yard, straightened a place, and signaled Bai Zhuo and the others to tie the carriage to a tree there.

"Park the carriage here, and I will feed your horses some fodder later." The old man was very polite.

The carriage stopped, Bai Zhuo jumped off and tied the carriage to a tree.Song Wuya then got out of the car and opened the curtain.

"Wen'er, get out of the car."

The maid Xiaohuan came out first, and Song Wuya immediately stepped forward, reaching out to help her get out of the car.

Seeing this, Xiaohuan's expression became tense, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, you should come by yourself."

When Situ Wen, who was behind him, heard this, she immediately coughed: "Xiaohuan, don't bark, who is the uncle?"

"Yes, Miss, Xiaohuan said something wrong." The maid Xiaohuan hastily explained.

Hearing this, Song Wuya immediately looked embarrassed and moved away.Xiaohuan blushed, and gently got off the carriage.When Song Wuya saw Situ Wen coming out, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Wen'er, be careful." As he spoke, Song Wuya stretched out his hand to help Situ Wen get out of the car.

Unexpectedly, Situ Wen glared at him, and said angrily: "You should help your Xiaohuan!"

Hearing this, Song Wuya felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Situ Wen get up and get out of the carriage, he immediately stepped forward and hugged her, letting her scream strangely, and carried her off the carriage.

This sudden scene caught Situ Wen by surprise, and couldn't help but secretly reached out and squeezed Song Wuya's waist.

"Hey, Wen'er, why did you do such a cruel thing to your husband?" Song Wuya was really hurt by this.

Seeing the old man watching from the side, Situ Wen stopped entangled with Song Wuya, and politely wished the old man a blessing.

Seeing this, the old man just chuckled, obviously he had seen such flirting before.

"It's getting late, and it's cold in the mountains, so let's go into the house." The old man smiled and said to several people.

Song Wuya helped Bai Zhuo unload the carriage, and the four of them turned around and followed the old man.

"Hey? Old man, this junior sees that your family is not an ordinary family, so why bother you, an old man, to open the door?" Song Wuya looked around repeatedly, but did not see anyone else. ask.

Hearing this, the old man sighed: "A few people died in the village recently, and my three sons all went to help. I lost my wife in the early years, and the three sons have not yet married. There is only one in the Gu family."

"How many people died? Oh, birth, old age, sickness and death are also human nature." Song Wuya nodded, but he didn't find it strange.

Hearing this, it is not difficult to explain why the whole village is lit up.It is an ominous thing for the dead to mourn, and there are indeed such customs in some places.The reason why the lights are on at night is also because I am afraid that those who have died will become wandering spirits and will look for places where no one lives to stay.

"Hey! In less than half a month, twelve died." Hearing Song Wuya's words, the old man shook his head and muttered while leading the way.

As soon as he said this, Song Wuya was shocked: "Twelve people died? Old man, are these twelve people dead?"

It is really strange that this is not the case. After all, although the village looks not small, it is impossible for twelve old people to die in half a month.

Sure enough, the old man stopped and turned to look at Song Wuya: "It is true that twelve young masters died, but they were all young and middle-aged!"

"A young man? How did he die? Could it be that he contracted some serious disease?" Song Wuya couldn't figure it out even more.

There were twelve people in a row, all young and middle-aged, so Song Wuya could only think about death from illness.

However, after his judgment, the old man shook his head again: "No, he was bitten to death by a wild beast!"

"Oh! Was it bitten to death by a wild beast? No wonder we knocked on the door just now, and you told us to come in quickly, presumably because you are afraid that we will be hurt by wild beasts?" The old man looked at Song Wuya intently, and said with a little doubt.

After hearing this, Song Wuya took a deep breath, nodded and stopped asking.

"This beast is vicious, and I don't know if it is a wolf or a tiger. What makes people wonder is that it just bit the throat of a person, and did not eat the corpse." The old man continued to move forward, and the mouth Muttered again.

Song Wuya, who had no doubts at first, now began to doubt again.Just like what the old man said, how can this beast bite the throat of a person, but not eat the human body.This is really unreasonable. After all, the purpose of wild beasts attacking people is only for food.

"Let's not talk about this, you should rest first. I don't know if the young master and miss have eaten?" After the old man finished speaking, he asked the others if there was something to eat.

At this time, he brought several people to the front of the room.

"Let's stay here tonight, exactly two rooms." The old man said and led a few people into the room.

Hearing this, Song Wuya hurriedly took out a few taels of silver from his bosom: "Thank you, old man, for staying overnight, and I hope that I will prepare some food for us. I hope that this little tael will be accepted by me."

"You don't need it, my son. This old man's house is empty and it is empty. Simple tea and light food are not worth a few copper coins. How can I collect your money? I hope you will take it back, otherwise this old man will drive some of you away." Unexpectedly, the old man still What a warm hearted person.

Seeing this appearance, Song Wuya had no choice but to give up, took the money back, and lived in the room with peace of mind.

He shared a room with Bai Zhuo, and Situ Wen shared a room with the maid Xiaohuan.After settling down, Song Wuya remembered what the old man said just now, and the unresolved doubts enveloped his heart again, and he always felt that this was not an ordinary thing.
