The woman's sharp nails sank into the flesh of her neck, as if she was about to tear Chen Mu's neck, causing bursts of pain.

The bloody red pupils were filled with resentment.

Chen Mu reluctantly stretched out a finger and gently tapped on the woman's shoulder. The latter's roar stopped abruptly, leaning against the edge of the bed softly like a thrown puppet, only breathing.

She still stared at Chen Mu with resentment.

She opened her chapped lips and wanted to scream, but she couldn't make a sound, and tears dripped from her eyes.

Chen Mu touched his neck, turned his head and looked at the pale moonlight seeping through the broken window mullions, his expression a little surprised.

For a long time, he asked faintly: "Girl Yan'er is your daughter. Back then, Han Dongjiang lied to you that the child was not kept. In fact, he secretly hid the child with the intention of raising it as Human Cauldron. But why didn't he kill you? Did you imprison you in this place? Why?"

Chen Mu couldn't understand.

With Han Dongjiang's current status as the head of the Valley of Fate, it is easy to get rid of the Qu protector and will not be noticed.

Why imprison her here?

Are you trying to threaten her daughter with her?

But Miss Yana has been completely brainwashed now, and she doesn't need to threaten at all.

"Female...children...female..."

Qu Hufa tried to make a hoarse sound like a mosquito croak in his throat, and his painful expression was like a blade sliding across the esophagus.

Chen Mu looked back and looked at the woman's thin cheeks and said softly: "Although your daughter is alive, she can't come back anymore. Now she is just a tool by Han Dongjiang, and she is willing to make this tool."

Chen Mu paused and continued: "If you want to leave here, I can help you. Change your environment, change your status, and start again."

The woman tried to lift her claw-like fingers and hooked the puppet doll on the ground...

She picked up the puppet doll, patted it lightly, humming an unpleasant but gentle tune, and the hideous anger on her face was replaced by serenity.

Chen Mu turned his head, glanced over the dusty pills on the ground, and sighed inwardly.

Having been imprisoned for more than 20 years, it would have been crazy to change to another person.

Chen Mu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Twenty-two years ago, the lonely wanderer who was still the head of the Valley of Destiny suddenly insulted Han Dongjiang's wife. There is material evidence, and the personal evidence... is you."

Chen Mu looked directly at the other person: "At that time, did you see the loneliness wandering insults Madam Han?"

Although he knew that the situation of the other party could not give an answer, he still had some expectation in his heart. Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, the woman ignored her, only immersed in her daughter's world.

Chen Mu saw that the inquiry was fruitless, so he had to get up.

When he was about to leave, he looked at the woman again and said, "No accident, I will become hostile to Destiny Valley.

Now that my lady is missing, I can't get rid of the old man Tianji? When I find her, maybe the Valley of Heaven will not let my lady leave. At that time...I can only live with the old man Han Dongjiang.

And it must be me who survived in the end. As for girl Yan'er, whether she can live or not depends on her own good fortune. "

After speaking, Chen Mu turned and walked towards the door of the house.

This is equivalent to saying hello to the woman in advance, not that he is cruel to kill her daughter, it all depends on whether the other party is acquainted.

When Chen Mu walked out of the house and came to the small courtyard, a slight wind bell rang.

A string of old and broken wind chimes hung under the eaves.

The wind chimes are like blood, blooming a little glamorous and poignant in the dark night.

Chen Mu stopped under the eaves, looked up at the broken wind chime that was blowing in the wind, and his lacquered brown eyes were lightly pensive.

Behind him, the ghost bride is like a jade.

A dark red wedding dress carries the love and hatred that has been deposited in the years, like the secluded eyes under the red hijab, looking at the blowing wind chimes together.

Chen Mu seemed to have a reaction, and turned to look at the ghost bride.

This time he was not afraid, and asked indifferently: "Is Hu Hu Fa really mad or fake? If it is really mad, was it psychological breakdown due to the death of his daughter, or...someone made her mad."

The goddamn bride said nothing, Chen Mu sneered: "You always like to kill some ungrateful guys. Back then, the guardian Qu was abandoned by the lover. You don't want to kill him? Don't tell me that you are not dead."

"I was indeed still alive"

This time the ghost bride spoke, although her voice was pleasant, but it was pierced with coldness.

This is her first conversation with Chen Mu.

Chen Mu obviously didn't believe it: "Girl Yan'er told me that the Immortal Cave was abandoned many years ago, and that the painting has always been in the Immortal Cave. Inferred from time, it is at least 70 or 80 years old."

"that's not me."

The ghost bride speaks slowly, saying every word.

Not you?

Chen Mu was stunned.

Thinking back to the painting carefully, and comparing it with the ghost bride in front of me, it still feels very similar.

"Then who are you? Who is the bride in that painting?"

Chen Mu frowned puzzled.

The ghost bride has a faint tone: "I won't tell you, I can only tell you that the bride in that painting is not me."

"Then when did you die?" Chen Mu asked rudely.

"March last year."

The scarlet red lips under the red hijab opened slightly. "...The ninth day."

On the ninth day of March last year...

Chen Mu said ‘oh’, but then his face became a little weird.

Because he suddenly remembered that the date when he married his wife was on the ninth day of March last year.

Could it be a coincidence?

Or is this woman just teasing him on purpose?

The ghost bride looked at the window of the house under the red cover, and seemed to be able to see the mad woman Qu protector inside: "Her husband... is from Guanshanyuan, even if I want to kill it, I can't kill it."

"How do you know?" Chen Mu asked.

"A crazy woman, why is she crazy?" The ghost bride smiled slightly and pointed to own chest. "The hatred in her heart, the resentment in her heart... these will not disappear with madness."

"I want to ask her something, can you tell me to communicate with her."

Chen Mu said.

The ghost bride gently shook her head, and the red hijab on her head fluttered with the wind, faintly revealing her pale jade chin and gorgeous red lips: "Everything depends on yourself. If she trusts you, she will naturally give you clues."

"I have limited time..."

"That's your business." Ghost Bride said lightly. "I can't help you either."

"Okay, then I ask a question about you."

Chen Mu stared at each other closely: "Why do you keep pestering me? If you think I'm a bad person, you can come and kill me. I didn't wear the Bixie beads that Zhiyue gave me. What are you worrying about? Or, you What do you want to use me for?"

Facing Chen Mu's question, the ghost bride remained silent, her erratic figure seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time.

After a long time, she said grimly: "You will know that this is what you owe me, and I will definitely let you and her repay it!"

"What owes you? What repayment?"

Chen Mu was at a loss. "Who is she you talking about? Has something to do with me?"

Click!

Suddenly a big night wind blew, and the wind chime fell to the ground.

The guardian Qu in the room seemed to hear the movement, and began to work hard to break free of the iron shackles on his feet, trying to pick up the wind chimes, and his mouth made a hoarse voice that seemed to cry like a scream.

Chen Mu walked under the eaves and picked up the wind chimes slowly.

When I looked up, I found that the ghost bride was missing.

Chen Mu looked around for a while, returned to the house, and handed the wind chime to the emotionally out of control Qu protector.

The latter hugged tightly in his arms, with tears on his face:

"He will come back... He will come back to save his daughter... I won't leave us alone... He said, our family of three find a place to live in seclusion, happy Life..."

"Who is he?" Chen Mu asked.

He could feel the woman's deep love for that man. Although mixed with resentment, he still loved each other after all.

Wind chimes are her only hope.

Expecting that man will come back and save her and her daughter.

Qu Hufa didn't even hear, but just muttered to himself:

"I was sitting in front of the lakeside cottage that day... The wind bell that day was really nice...because he said that as long as he heard the wind bell, he would come back..."

Hu Hufa Qu turned and looked at Chen Mu, the soft light in his eyes seemed to recall the past. "...I clearly heard the sound of horse hooves that day... but he rode away on a horse..."

She asked Chen Mu: "Why did he leave, why didn't he stop...why..."

"Maybe... he's just a passer-by."

Chen Mu was silent for a long time and said softly.
