Mu Yunhan sat in the yard for a while, and Uncle Kang came back.
The first thing is to make sure the patient in the room is still alive and everything is fine.
After receiving a positive reply from the maid, he smiled at her again: "The servant was clumsy and accidentally knocked over the candle. Didn't he scare the lady?"
Mu Yunhan said: "After so many things, few things can scare me anymore."
He walked out without any hesitation and wandered around the courtyard again. He saw several other priests and wives of different ages.
The youngest is the wife of the 22nd priest. She is in a very bad mental state and is surrounded by more than ten people.
The other two are abnormal and crazy.
Anger surged through Mu Yunhan's chest. She suppressed herself hard and asked abruptly: "Isn't it said that there are children? Where are they?"
Uncle Kang was startled, and then he looked around and said to him: "Where did the child come from? Madam, please look over there. This is the stage we just built this year."
I plan to raise a few female gentlemen who will tell stories, sing and play, etc., so as to amuse the ladies and amuse them."
Mu Yunhan knew he couldn't ask, so he didn't ask any more questions and just winked at Xiaomi.
Seeing that it was getting late, Uncle Kang said: "The food has been cooked in the kitchen and the guest room has been cleaned. Please have a rest and have a meal, Madam."
Mu Yunhan didn't dare to stay here for dinner, so he immediately said: "No need to bother, I have something to rush back to, so I'll say goodbye. I will tell the Lord after I get back and let him commend you."
Uncle Kang was also relieved and sent her out almost happily.
Mu Yunhan got on the carriage and stopped smiling.
Zhang Gongfeng stepped forward and reported: "We found out that the person who set the fire was a seven or eight-year-old boy. He was locked up in the woodshed and his whole body was covered with injuries.
He was not in good health and could not speak clearly, but I felt that he was very smart and he probably set the fire to attract his wife's attention.
I originally wanted to take him away, but I remembered that my wife told me not to alert others, so I didn't move."
Mu Yunhan said: "How do you think he is dressed?"
Zhang Zongzong said: "Neither master nor servant. By the way, his inner garment is made of pink silk cloth worn by women."
Except for a few wives of priests, there are no other women in this village who can wear silk.
The child's life story is about to come out.
Most likely it was a defective product born by some lady.
The good ones are taken away if they have talents; the bad ones are left to fend for themselves without talents and are no better than animals.
Mu Yunhan asked Zhang Gongfeng to step aside, leaned on the pillow, took out the note and read it carefully.
It's a very simple drawing.
The painting depicts a forest. There is a rock deep in the forest. There is a short elm tree next to the rock. There is a toad lying under the elm tree.
Not a single word.
But it can be seen that what was painted was this elm forest.
Mu Yunhan put away the drawings, raised the car curtain and looked outside.
It is getting late, and a light mist floats among the elm trees.
The lights in Zhuangzi not far away have not yet been turned on, the high courtyard walls reflect black condensed light, and the two black doors are like giant mouths eating people.
It was as if there were countless pairs of eyes peering at her from behind the arrow holes in the high wall.
Creepy.
"Let's go." Mu Yunhan gave up the idea of searching the elm forest and just wanted to leave this eerie place as soon as possible.
After the carriage reached the official road, Mu Yunhan ordered them to rest by the roadside and ordered the dry food that had been prepared long ago to be distributed.
