Chapter 416: Secret passages
"What is that woman, have you ever met?"
In the house courtyard deep in the alley of Xima Bridge, Lu Chen and the old horse sat in the courtyard and drank. After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Chen asked the old horse like this.
The old horse shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the woman, I really don't know her origin." Then he paused, and after a moment of groaning, he said: "I and you were in Qingshuitang Village for the first ten years Living, in recent years, after you fled south to the chaotic land, I only helped with some trivial things outside, and finally moved to live in Qingshuitang Village, so for all these years the situation in Xianmeng League, except Fuyun Division here I know a little bit, but I don't know much about the situation in other halls. "
Lu Chen nodded, and seemed to know what was happening to the old horse. After thinking for a moment, he later said, "The woman claims to be a true immortal league, but she ca n’t possibly be from the Fuyun Division. Otherwise, she ’s dead and blood. There won't be no news from Yingying. So, you have to go over to find out if there is a woman named Song Wenji in Xianmeng recently and see what it is. "
Old horse said: "It's okay, wrap it on me."
Lu Chen smiled, reached out and picked up the jug, and started pouring wine into Lao Ma and his own glass.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Chen and the old horse both got up early. After finishing finishing, as usual, Lu Chen took a large piece of monster meat and threw it to A Tu, and then passed away the black dog.
In the past few days, Ah Tu has been a fairy-like day. He eats or sleeps every day. Except for dogs who do n’t drink, they can really be said to be drunk and dreamy.
After sending Atu, Lu Chen came out with the old horse. The old horse said to Lu Chen: "I went to the Fuyun Division to find the Bloodyingtang Master today, and told her about the past few days, and inquired about yesterday. News of that woman. "
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, you can go, but I'm afraid that these things may not get an answer soon. Don't rush back today, do your work there."
The old horse glanced at him and said, "Where are you going today? Could you go to the next person on the list?"
Lu Chen hesitated, but shook his head, "No, stop today. I think this is a little strange, as if there is something I didn't want to understand, think about it." After saying a pause, he To the old horse again: "Today I find a chance to go to the butcher shop yesterday to see if there are other things missing. That Rui Xiaotian must have a strange identity, that is, the woman named Song Wenji may know something?"
The old horse nodded and said, "Well, be careful yourself." Then he went away.
Lu Chen watched the old horse's back disappear on the bustling street under Ximama Bridge. After gazing for a long time, he turned a corner and embarked on another road.
Yesterday's butcher shop didn't open today as a matter of course, which also disappointed the neighbourhood ladies who like to come here to buy meat. Before Lu Chen came here, he was a bit worried that these people might go to the butcher shop to check what happened. The situation inside could not help but be revealed.
In the swift, lightning-like battle of yesterday, the young butcher Rui Xiaotian, who had a mysterious origin and a mysterious identity, suddenly triggered some institutions, ran away after chaos, and then Lu Chen and Song Wenji were unable to track them. Left there. However, those agencies are located in the house. In fact, from the appearance, at least this butcher shop has no problems. When Lu Chen came over, this was what he was worried about.
But to his surprise, although the butcher shop was closed, it didn't attract anyone's attention and attention, including those neighbourhood ladies who came here every day and did not know whether to buy meat or look at their faces. Some of them walked to the butcher shop door, often stayed for a while, then turned away and did not have any intention to knock on the door, which also surprised Lu Chen.
When no one passed around for a while, Lu Chen stepped out of a hidden corner on the opposite street, and pretended to pass by casually, and walked in front of the butcher shop.
The next moment, he frowned suddenly, only to find that he had posted a note on the door of the butcher shop, with a few lines written on it:
"The old mother in the owner's home is very ill and has to return home to take care of it overnight. This store is closed for a month. For inconvenience, please forgive me."
That note is not particularly large, but it is still very conspicuous on the door panel. At the same time, the handwriting on it is neat and neat, and looks pretty good. I probably saw this note, so the women who came here had to leave here.
Lu Chen didn't stop in front of the butcher shop, even his eyes seemed to just swipe over the note, and then walked over.

After half an hour, Lu Chen had jumped in from a concealed wall behind this house, cleverly and cleverly.
The house was silent and there were no figures moving, but the scattered clutter scattered around seemed to be telling about the sudden chaos of yesterday. As for the original owner here, it is naturally unknown at this moment. Lu Chen stood in this small courtyard and thought for a while, and found that he still couldn't find any clue from the magical powers when Rui Xiaotian ran away yesterday.
He looked back and saw the peach tree of yesterday, the blooming peach blossoms swaying in the spring breeze fluttering in the wind nothing seems to have changed. Compared to the mess around, this peach tree is probably the only thing still neat and beautiful.
Lu Chen gazed at the blooming peach blossom for a while, then walked over and entered Rui Xiaotian's bedroom yesterday.
He was no stranger to this room. In fact, he had searched here carefully yesterday and found a secret passage, but otherwise he never found anything of value.
Today seems to have more time. He searched more carefully than yesterday, but as time passed, at the end, when he walked out of the bedroom again, the gains were still the same as yesterday.
However, the look on Lu Chen's face did not seem to be frustrated, but rather a thoughtful look, after a moment of groaning, he whispered to himself: "It's so clean? Could it have been a shadow counterpart ... ... "
After standing at the door for a while, he walked towards the peach tree in the courtyard. Now that he has explored and inspected almost all the places in this house, Rui Xiaotian is so clean that he has nothing left to trace his identity.
Lu Chen even felt that if he didn't see Rui Xiaotian selling meat here yesterday, he might not believe that this person lives here.
However, there is one last place left.
There are two secret passages in this house, one in the bedroom and one under the peach tree.
Yesterday, Song Wenji always stood under this peach tree and never left. Lu Chen always suspected that there was something weird in that place. Today I have to search it thoroughly.
When these thoughts passed in his mind, he had already walked under the blooming peach tree, the breeze blew, his placket moved slightly, and he seemed to be back to the season full of peach blossoms in Qingshuitang Village.
