The quiet and deep courtyard offers a view every five steps.
The Du family can be regarded as a new local prominent family that has risen over the past century. This house has been expanded several times, but it has been built very magnificently, without much of the temperament of a nouveau riche.
"Miss, you are back."
Seeing a group of women coming together, the servants and servants all asked for their greetings.
"Is my uncle back?"
The woman among them, who was called "Sister Du" by the women next to her, asked.
A man who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly replied: "To answer the question, Miss, I just got a letter from my uncle. He is still in Fuzhou City. It will take another seven or eight days before he can come back."
"Well, you go ahead."
Du Yunniang waved her hand and sent all the servants away.
Several women nearby immediately gathered around him.
"Sister Du, where is the strange object you mentioned?"
"That's right, we've arrived at your Du family, and your son-in-law who came to visit you is not here, so don't hide him and show him to your sisters."
The chatter was filled with criticism of Du Yunniang.
It's really annoying to whet their appetites like this.
Du Yunniang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Sisters, don't worry, come inside with me."
She led the way first, and then the other women let her go and followed her in expectantly.
After passing two small courtyards, we stopped in front of a locked courtyard.
Du Yunniang took out the key and unlocked the door, called everyone in, and closed the door tightly.
The group of people entered the courtyard and immediately looked around. There was nothing unusual in the courtyard, except for a small tree that looked like a weeping willow.
Densely packed branches stretched out from the ground, showing a light black-purple color, swaying gently in the wind.
One of the thicker branches seems to be stained with a little crystal color.
"This is……"
All the women had a look of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
Du Yunniang's pretty face turned slightly red: "This is the strange thing I was talking about! That night, I heard a strange noise in the courtyard, and then I saw such a strange tree in the courtyard."
"Just a tree?"
"What's so strange about trees!"
When all the women saw this, they couldn't help showing disappointment.
With such a long-lasting body and at the right age, they can't even subdue their unsatisfactory husband. How can they believe that a tree can make Du Yunniang so cheerful and energetic?
"Did Sister Du hide it secretly and tease us with this broken willow tree?"
Some people couldn't help but scolded.
"Sisters, you don't know. This tree is definitely considered magical! Just because it can...eat people..."
Du Yunniang blushed and said quickly, "If you don't believe it, just take three steps closer to it, and then you will know the beauty of it!"
One of them, a mature woman who looked less than forty years old, volunteered and said, "Then I'd like to give it a try. If you lie, sister Du, don't blame me for turning against you when the time comes."
As she spoke, she walked to the small black willow tree.
"What's this-ah!"
The originally slightly disdainful look in her eyes suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but let out a scream. She quickly turned around, only to see a few of the thin branches next to her suddenly stretching out.
The branches that bend and change are very powerful.
With a gentle tug, she was pulled closer, and her whole body was almost lifted up.
"Woo!"
The woman only felt that those branches easily penetrated into the clothes, and their flexibility was almost better than ordinary people's hands. The next second, her expression completely changed.
"This, this is indeed a strange, strange, um, thing."
The voice was trembling.
When several other women saw this scene, their eyes widened and they covered their mouths one by one. Instead of panicking, they became a little eager to try.
After watching for a moment, the woman fell to the ground again.
But he was already like mud, his eyes were rolled up, and he looked like he was in a daze.
But that expression undoubtedly showed how she felt. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
"I come!"
Next to him, a woman in her thirties who had been married for just a few years immediately stepped forward.
"Sister Li, come one by one, why worry? It's better to let sister try it first, sister is afraid that you won't be able to grasp it!"
A woman next to her quickly grabbed one of her arms.
While they were fighting for it, Du Yunniang said: "Let's go together, why fight! This rare thing is not that simple. Even though it is small, it is very powerful!"
The few remaining people who were ready to move heard the words and tentatively stepped forward together.
Sure enough, there were suddenly more branches stretching out from the small tree, and the women exclaimed and were immediately hung up by the branches.
It's like there are many flowers growing on the branches.
Blooming in the gentle breeze.
When Du Yunniang saw this, she couldn't help but walked over.
Warm wind blows gently.
The branches swayed slightly.
Fortunately, the location of this small courtyard is relatively deep and quiet, and the courtyard walls are tall. Even if the sound is louder, you still need to worry about being overheard.
"call!"
But under the cover of these sounds, an unknown sigh came from the underground of the small courtyard.
A new chapter!
It was his voice.
"It's pitiful that someone like me, Zhang, who has lived half his life, is here today!"
Zhang Congxin was lying on the ground, looking extremely miserable.
Only half of the torso was left buried in the ground, and all the limbs were missing. There was even a strong sword energy left at the incision, which continued to prevent the wound from recovering.
It can be seen how hard he suffered when he left to save Han Qianyun.
He was lucky enough to escape with his life, but now he can only hide in the ground, not even daring to risk his life, so he can just relax with this country woman and wait for an opportunity to recover from his injuries.
"My life is so miserable!"
Zhang Congxin sighed again.
"That's all, Lao Zhang, although my injury is better, but my body is still damaged. I'm afraid there is no hope of recovery in this life, so I will reluctantly continue to stay here for a little longer."
I'm tired of seeing rivers and lakes scenery, but this kind of rural countryside is quite to my liking.
Zhang Congxin has finally come to terms with it. Although these days are dull, they still have a different flavor than before.
Thinking this way, the big branch-like tendons stretched even more powerfully.
Like a whomping willow tree.
"I shake, I shake, I shake like crazy!"
He was very excited, but the women hanging on the tree couldn't stand it anymore.
It's like flying through the clouds, or riding the wind on land.
For a moment, they could hardly tell where they were.
My brain is completely blank.
After an unknown amount of time, several women got off the ground and helped each other out of the small courtyard.
The courtyard became peaceful again.
Zhang Congxin is also quite satisfied.
Not to mention anything else, after getting through it like this, he became more and more able to control the big muscles in his body.
"If this continues, maybe one day, relying on the incomplete tendons in my body, I can reshape the Black Bodhisattva's true form!"
For a moment, Zhang Congxin's heart was filled with fighting spirit again.
