When Gu Zheng left the imperial capital, he also told everyone his contact information. If he wanted to find him, he would send him a letter. Phone calls could not be made in the mountains. However, after returning, Gu Zheng never paid attention to this mailbox. When he went to the post office, he found that the mailbox he rented was filled with various magazines. He was shocked. He hadn't cleaned it out for several months, and then he realized that the piles of these things were so heavy.
There were not many letters, only three in total, two of which were sent by Feng Yu, and one was sent to him by Xiao Fei. Looking at the time, the longest one was sent by Feng Yu last week. Yes, this girl sent it by express delivery. Xiao Fei’s one only arrived yesterday.
When he was at the post office, Gu Zheng opened the letter and read it. He couldn't take the letter back to the mountains and read it again. After reading the letter, he still had to reply. After returning to the mountains, it would be much more troublesome. It would be a lot of trouble to go in and out. easy.
Feng Yu's letter was mostly filled with greetings. He also asked Gu Zheng how he was living in the mountains, how the scenery was in the mountains, if he needed company, and so on. He also told Gu Zheng to take care of his health, etc. The enthusiasm revealed in the letter made Gu Zheng here. It felt as warm as spring on a cold day. The contents of Feng Yu's two letters were similar, and the information revealed in the lines of handwriting made Gu Zheng smile endlessly.
Xiao Fei's letter was much simpler. Xiao Fei told Gu Zheng straightforwardly that he had returned from the Holy See and had killed many demons on the European continent to vent his anger on Gu Zheng. Soon, he would come here to fight with Gu Zheng. Let’s talk about the Jade Slips. Since the last time he drove the Jade Slips to kill Ferdinand, he discovered that his body has mutated. This mutation has brought great benefits to his body, so he I can't wait to look for Gu Zheng, hoping to learn more about the jade slips from Gu Zheng.
In this world, no one knows the secrets of jade slips better than the jade keeper. Xiao Fei thinks so.
Judging from the time, it is estimated that Xiao Fei will come here to look for him in the next two days.
Gu Zheng left some traces so that Xiao Fei could find him and track him into the mountains.
After sorting out the letters, Gu Zheng put all these things into the backpack he brought. The backpack was so stuffed that he could barely put all the magazines in it.
After Gu Zheng finished doing this, he immediately set out to buy rice. Now he can only consume so much, and with Xiao Fei who can eat almost as much as him, I am afraid that he will have to go out to buy rice every three days, but Gu Zheng would not be polite to Xiao Fei. If Xiao Fei stayed with him for a long time with a shy face, then Xiao Fei would naturally be responsible for these heavy tasks.
When he walked to the rice grain store, Gu Zheng unexpectedly discovered a very strange phenomenon.
The small town at the foot of the mountain is similar to the one in the deep mountains, covered with snow. However, around the rice grain store, Gu Zheng discovered that within a radius of about fifty meters from the rice grain, the trees were still green and there was no snow on the ground. The grass on the roadside was lush and lush, and the most outrageous thing was that Gu Zheng actually saw that the two peach trees in front of the rice grain store actually had a tree of beautiful flowers.
Not only Gu Zheng, but also many people in this small town thought it was very strange.
There were a lot of people coming and going at the market in this small town. When many people saw this strange phenomenon, they stopped to watch the strange thing and gathered in front of the rice and grain store. It was very lively.
Gu Zheng smiled. Such strange things happen every year, and there are so many this year. As a descendant of the Mo family, he knew the saying that "everything abnormal will lead to monsters". He quickly found an old man to inquire carefully, and asked about this winter The peach blossoms are blooming here, what is going on?
Gu Zheng has lived in this area for nearly ten years. Although he doesn't know much about the people in this town, he also knows that this kind of strange thing has never happened in this town. It seems that this is the first time such a thing has happened. .
The old man was also very talkative. When the young man asked, he told him what he knew.
The old man said that he had lived in this town for seventy years and had never seen anything like this happen. However, the two peach trees in front of the rice grain store had a story. It had already appeared in this small town before. The owner of the shop was named Yang, and Yang Ji’s rice and grain shop has been doing the rice and grain business in the town to this day. At that time, there were already two big peach trees. When I was a child, I heard an old man at home say that someone had been hanged on this peach tree. The deceased was a concubine of the owner of the rice grain store at that time, but the specific tree was unknown.
But when the old man grew up, during the Cultural Revolution, the owner of the rice and grain store was arrested and used as capital and criticized, and eventually died in a cowshed. His wife finally couldn't stand the stimulation. On a dark and windy night, He also hanged himself on the peach tree at the door. This incident left a deep impression on the old man. The old man even remembered that it happened in the winter of 1967. At that time, there was heavy snow in the mountains.
However, a few years ago, the daughter-in-law of the son of the current owner of a rice and grain store had an argument with her husband one night. In anger, she hanged herself from the peach tree in front of her door. This incident only happened three years ago, and many people still remember it. Remember this happened.
Gu Zheng frowned when he heard that there were three murder cases on these two peach trees. He wondered: "There are so many deaths on these two peach trees, why doesn't the owner cut it down?"
The old man shook his head and said: "How can I cut it? This Yang Ji rice and grain shop was originally an outsider. It is said that he found a geomantic treasure here and built a shop. The two peach trees in front of the door are said to be used for A person who attracts wealth. Over the years, Yang Ji has made a lot of money. How can he be willing to cut down trees? Now the winter near Yang's house is like spring. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing. Alas..."
Gu Zheng nodded, but Gu Zheng disagreed with the suggestion that this place was a geomantic treasure. He thought that although this place was good, it could barely accommodate people. It was nonsense to use peach trees to attract wealth. But in this strange winter moon, peach blossoms bloomed. Gu Zheng thought about it and realized that something must be at work. The three lives on these two peach trees left a faint shadow in Gu Zheng's heart. He I always feel that this town may have become dangerous because of the appearance of this peach blossom. It’s just that there are too many monsters in the world, and Gu Zheng doesn’t know what is causing trouble here. If he discovers that there is indeed something If a monster appears, don't blame Gu Zheng. This area is the area covered by the Mo family, and no monsters or monsters can be allowed to cause trouble again.
ps It seems that there is no fifth update today, I hope there will be one tomorrow...
