The night was as dark as ink, the wind was strong, and the tiles on the roof were blown by the wind.
Mu Run, who felt relaxed after taking a bath, felt so comfortable lying on the gently warm duvet.
During the days when she was waiting for Su's mother in Sujiazhuang, she couldn't sleep well every night. She had to drink nutrient solution every day to support herself, otherwise her body would really be unable to bear it.
"Dong dong dong~" There was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" The tone was not very good. Anyone who was about to fall asleep would not be happy if he was disturbed.
"Madam, I have to go out for a trip, which may take three to five days." Shi Xuan's voice came from outside the door.
Mu Run immediately replied: "Go ahead, come back whenever you want, I can't control you."
"I..." Shi Xuan listened to her unhappy tone and couldn't guess whether she agreed or disagreed, "Well, I have something urgent. And if my father-in-law and mother-in-law return to Beijing, I may not be able to accompany them.
Come along and say hello."
"I know, what else?" Mu Run turned over and adjusted to a comfortable position.
Shi Xuan replied: "No more."
Mu Run grunted and fell asleep.
Shi Xuan waited for a while and saw that Mu Run didn't speak before leaving.
Early the next morning, Mu Run remembered what Shi Xuan said yesterday and hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Shi Xuan——"
There is no response, that is to say, the person is really gone.
He went out in the middle of the night and said it would take three to five days. What was he doing? Looking at the valuable furnishings in the room... As the saying goes, a horse will not grow fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without external wealth. What is he going to do?
Made extra money?
"Okay, it's time for me to get down to business." These days, I have been in Sujiazhuang and made many insinuations, confirming that the Su family does not know Su Xiao's true identity.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Su Xiao's identity is checked or not. With the spiritual root as an important clue, as long as she catches it and investigates it, she won't have to worry about finding the murderer.
After avenging Su Xiao, she will go to Zhen Continent. The first thing to do now is to go to Youdu.
Mu Run drank a bag of nutrient solution, put on a gauze hat to cover her face, and went out.
She stopped a donkey cart at the street corner and headed to Tongtian River Pier.
When she got to the place, she looked for the boatman who had planted the dogwood tree, but she couldn't find it even though she looked around.
"Does this girl want to use a boat?" A boatman asked when he saw Mu Run walking back and forth.
Mu Run nodded, "Yes, I'm looking for a boat with dogwood planted in it. Does the boatman know you?"
When the boatman heard that Mu Run was looking for the Dogwood Boat, he was a little surprised and asked, "Girl, are you going to Youdu?"
Mu Run nodded, "Yeah."
The boatman said: "The girl came at the wrong time. The dogwood boat only comes after the sun goes down."
"It's so late." Mu Run looked at the sky and saw that it wasn't even noon yet.
"Since the boatman knows Youdu, can you go?"
"To go to the underworld, you have to go through the Ghost Gate. The waterway inside is winding and dangerous. I don't have that ability."
"I see. Do dogwood boats only exist after dark?" Mu Run took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve pocket, about twenty, and handed them to the boatman.
The boatman's eyes lit up. He could only earn a few dozen for a whole day's operation, so he hurriedly answered: "Generally speaking, it's only available after dark. Because in Youdu, the market only opens at night and rests during the day. However, I
I actually know someone who is in the dogwood boat business."
The boatman looked around, and finally pointed at a boatman who was sleeping on the boat, "That's him. I'll go ask the girl if he can drive the boat."
