Born to be a monster

Drunken Red Pavilion.

"Cough, first of all, you are too young to go in; secondly, boys are not allowed in; lastly, the Zuihong Pavilion does not accept customers during the day." The man who picked up the customers at the door looked at the two children in front of him, and there was something hidden in his eyes. Can't help contemptuous.

The two of them had already put on human skin masks, and replaced them with faces that could only be considered pretty.

Gu Luoling took out a piece of silver from his pocket: "Our mother stayed with you overnight last night, and she hasn't returned home today, so Dad is already angry."

The old man was startled, it turned out that they were the two children of the guest officer.

But someone stayed here overnight last night and hasn't returned this morning?

There should be, right?

The old man took the broken silver resolutely, and said: "The time for a stick of incense."

Xia Moyan immediately rushed into Zuihong Pavilion.

Gu Luoling smiled and said politely, "Thank you."

The two walked into Zuihong Pavilion, and bumped into the old man they met last time.

It's really a narrow road...

Xia Moyan frowned invisibly, and immediately his eyebrows fluttered: "Hello Bustard, I want to find my mother. She came here last night and didn't come back all night. Father is very worried."

The old man glanced at Xia Moyan, the clothes were luxurious, and he presumably was the daughter of a wealthy family, so he said flatteringly: "Miss, don't bother the other guests."

Xia Moyan sneered in her heart, but nodded seriously on her face.

However, Gu Luoling was grabbed by the arm by the old man, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"Are you the young lady in the pavilion?" The old man rubbed his chin, and decided that Gu Luoling was the young lady from the Zuihong Pavilion.

Gu Luoling twitched her eyebrows, and almost didn't sneer.

Xia Moyan immediately protected Gu Luoling, and said indifferently: "Sorry, he is my brother."

The old man was startled, let go of his hand quickly, and said in a panic: "I offended you, my lord, forgive me."

Although Gu Luoling was unhappy, he didn't feel like having a fit, so he just nodded perfunctorily and left without hesitation.

Xia Moyan smirked and "comforted" the old man: "Don't worry, my brother is 'magnanimous'."

So generous that it will pull your skin off.

After finishing speaking, Xia Moyan turned around and ran away after Gu Luoling's footsteps.

Gu Luoling was running in the corridor, and suddenly stopped, closed her eyes, and moved her ears slightly.

Xia Moyan waited and watched with bated breath, it seemed that Gu Luoling was impatient to search one by one and was about to use martial arts.

"To the left." Gu Luoling said lightly, and his figure became ethereal in an instant.

Xia Moyan twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, so he had no choice but to run with difficulty on his short legs.

In the leftmost room of the cloister, the red-painted wooden door shone brightly in the sunlight.

Gu Luoling lazily sat on the corridor railing, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Xia Moyan panted heavily, shrunk her shoulders, and stared at Gu Luoling with mournful eyes from time to time.

"Squeak-"

Xia Moyan pushed open the door, feeling suffocated, wood dust was flying in the air, it was obvious that this was a newly furnished room.

"Is anyone there?" Xia Moyan suddenly felt a chill on her back, and the situation was like something written in a thriller novel.

"Who?" The child's voice was still there, mixed with a little sadness.

"I'm Xia...Mu Yan." Xia Moyan lied and walked into the room in the dark.

The boy lit three candles, and the room became much brighter.

"What do you want from me?" the boy asked confusedly.

"Uh..." Xia Moyan struggled to find Gu Luoling, who had disappeared for a long time, "Then what...you know about the Empress Dowager?"

The boy was obviously taken aback, lowered his head slightly, and his voice became a little hoarse: "I know."

"Don't cry," Xia Moyan saw the reddish eye circles of the boy, "I shouldn't have asked you this question, I'm sorry."

The boy wiped his eyes and said stubbornly: "I won't cry, she said she doesn't like people who cry."

Xia Moyan's mind flickered, the boy was dressed in smoky blue, and Yin Mo's slightly green figure was reflected in her eyes.

No, how could she let someone else replace Yin Mo?

Xia Moyan shook her head and continued to ask, "What's your name?"

"...My name is Mo Ranyao." The boy turned his head away, his eyes misty, as if looking towards the unreachable future, "She never asked my name that day, I'm afraid she has forgotten me long ago."

Xia Moyan smiled wryly, if she had forgotten, she would not have come here.

Ink dyed away...

Ink is dyed to the limit...
