Lin Ye originally wanted to get to know Granny Ping and Yan Fei, but he had no topics to talk about, and he knew that it would be easy to gain Granny Ping's approval, as long as he helped Liyue.
After Shen He completed her mission, she could have left, but Lin Ye got into trouble and she wanted to help him but didn't know how to start.
Lin Ye saw the struggle in Shen He's heart and asked with a smile if Shen He was willing to continue helping him.
Shen He nodded.
Afterwards, the three went to the Wangsheng Hall to look for Zhongli, but they didn't catch him.
As a sly guy, Zhongli can be seen anywhere in Liyue Harbor.
Places he often goes to include Sanwan Buguogang, Heyu Teahouse... and even Zhudian Fang, where he can also be seen with Zhongli and a group of archaeologists who know Prince Yan very well.
It was getting dark at this time. Hu Tao and Lin Ye agreed to meet again early tomorrow morning. She wanted to go back to study the information left by her grandfather.
Shen He stayed at Lin Ye's house.
When returning home, Lin Xiaofeng woke up and called Lin Ye over, saying that he had something to give him, which was a bronze mirror.
……
Chapter 11 Haha! You've fallen into my hands
Lin Xiaofeng never thought that he could survive. His heart was dead after his wife's death. He was lucky to see that Lin Ye did not die because of his mistake when he was dying.
"Aye, I want to give you something. I found it in the bedroom of your mother and me." Lin Xiaofeng leaned against the bed and took out a bronze mirror from his arms.
Shen He did not join in the conversation between father and son. She stood outside the door and looked around, worried that she would meet Grandma Zhang again.
Lin Ye’s dark history...
Objectively speaking, Shen He is a social terrorist. This is an abbreviation. It can be written as social phobia, but to others he is a terrorist.
Gu Chen Jie Sha has a bad temper. Even with her soul bound by a red rope, Shen He still has a bad temper. In the mission Feng Qi He Gui, Shen He coldly warned the people who robbed her that she would really take action.
Therefore, Shen He, a social phobic, also knows that he is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and is not used to the enthusiasm of Grandma Zhang.
Subjectively speaking, Shen He knew a lot of Lin Ye’s dark history, and understood that Lin Ye also had a simple and straightforward side, which she inexplicably found interesting.
It's very contradictory and Shen He can't figure it out.
On the other side, Lin Ye sat on a chair that was moved over, facing Lin Xiaofeng. He took the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully. The mirror surface was mottled and rusty, like a blooming flower.
"[Tongshenghua] obtained the key item, progress 2/3." The system issued a prompt sound.
Judging from the name of the task, there is no doubt that this bronze mirror is of great importance.
"Can you see anything in the mirror?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, with a hint of unexplainable hope in his voice.
Through the mirror, I can only see my own cloudy face.
Lin Ye shook his head.
"Really? I couldn't find anything..." Lin Xiaofeng was a little disappointed. He had expected Lin Xiaofeng to say to Lin Ye bitterly, "A few days after you left, I saw the truth about Xiaojin's death in the bronze mirror. It was in the study. That night, a fierce ghost broke into the study, and Xiaojin faced the monster alone..."
At the end of his speech, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
"I heard from the servants that this bronze mirror was found together with your mother's body. I believe this must be the clue Xiaojin provided me."
"I misunderstood you. There is no father like me in the world who would believe a stranger's one-sided words... Not only did I fail to protect my wife, I almost killed my child."
"Aye, I..."
Lin Ye took a look at Lin Xiaofeng's current condition. He looked much better than when they first met, with his sallow and thin lips, but his face was still pale, his brows were haggard, his body was weak, and his bloodshot eyes didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
"You don't need to say sorry or apologize anymore. I don't want to hear it. It's troublesome. If you say it again, I'll get angry." Lin Ye interrupted directly. He said seriously, "The most important thing right now is to find the murderer and avenge my mother."
"My friend and I did some research today. You also know the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao. We found traces of evil spirits in the study..."
"How is he!" Lin Xiaofeng blurted out, his expression slightly ferocious.
"It looks like he's dead. It was just an illusion. He was killed by another more powerful ghost." Lin Ye said expressionlessly.
Lin Xiaofeng realized his own gaffe and coughed weakly a few times.
"You saw the truth of that night through the bronze mirror. What you saw at the end was a fierce ghost... who killed your mother?"
"No, the scene was very brief. I saw the evil spirit having a heated negotiation with Xiao Jin. I couldn't hear any sound. In the end, it seemed like the negotiation between Xiao Jin and the evil spirit failed, and the evil spirit wanted to hurt Xiao Jin."
"Mother's body was found in your and her bedroom... Don't you think there's something fishy?"
"Xiao Jin has always been in good physical condition. I thought she avoided me and ran to the bedroom... Why? I was not at home that night..." Lin Xiaofeng regretted it very much.
“……”Lin Ye was silent.
There were more than ten hired workers at home, but none of them found any evil spirits or ghosts, nor did they hear the mother's cry for help...
"By the way, I want to ask you about someone. Who told you that I killed my mother?"
"... a man in a green shirt, claiming to be able to tell fortunes and misfortunes, appeared out of nowhere and said he knew the murderer who killed Xiao Jin. My state at the time... Alas."
"Do you know his name?"
Lin Xiaofeng tried to recall, "I remember he called himself Taoist Qingyang."
"what about others?"
"He didn't say much. Is he related to Xiaojin's death?"
"I'm highly suspicious." Lin Ye replied, then he was silent for a while, and asked softly, "How much do you know about my mother? In fact, that Taoist Qingyang was right. I do have a dangerous fate and am prone to encountering unclean things."
Lin Xiaofeng was stunned when he heard Lin Ye continue.
"Whether you believe it or not, my mother's death had nothing to do with me, and those evil spirits were not attracted by me."
Otherwise, the system would not allow him to investigate the truth behind his mother's death.
"...I believe it. It's ridiculous for me to say this now, but you loved your mother very much. When you were a child, I was very busy and it was Xiaojin who always stayed with you. You had a very good relationship with your mother and son. I should have firmly believed that you would not hurt Xiaojin."
"...Hmm. I now suspect that my special physique was inherited from my mother. Maybe the evil spirit was attracted by my mother's physique that night, even though they have been living in peace for more than ten years. You are her husband, how much do you know about my mother's past?"
"She lost her memory, and Mr. Bai Shu from Bubulu couldn't cure her, but this didn't prevent Xiao Jin from integrating into the life of Liyue Port... There is one unusual thing, that is, Xiao Jin occasionally thinks of some unfamiliar words. I specifically checked them out, and they are all things that happened in Liyue a long time ago."
"My mother lived for many years?" Lin Ye was surprised.
"Maybe," Lin Xiaofeng said with a wry smile, "Your mother hasn't aged over the years and has always been very young. You know that."
"Has mother ever thought about regaining her memory?"
"No, she once said it would be a very sad memory. Her intuition told her that I completely took over Changhong Bank."
"Haha, I was young and frivolous. I naively thought that no matter what kind of past Xiao Jin had, I would be able to protect her. This past event was slowly forgotten. Now when I think about it, what did I protect?"
Lin Xiaofeng felt extremely bitter.
Lin Ye could not deny it. He felt that he had asked enough questions, so he stood up from his chair and
"I will continue to investigate this matter, otherwise I will not come back. As for you, rest and recuperate. If you have other clues, please tell me."
"I'm still staying in the Lin Mansion. This is my home anyway. Otherwise, I can only cover myself with a small quilt under the Feiyunpo Bridge." Lin Ye rarely joked to Lin Xiaofeng.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Lin Ye's tall and straight back. He knew in his heart that Lin Ye had not forgiven him. From the beginning to the end of the conversation, he never called him father again.
However, Lin Ye still avenged Xiao Jin, and that was enough.
The rest is due to my own fault.
"I'll leave Xiao Jin's revenge to you first, Aye, consider me your father... I, Lin Xiaofeng, beg you."
At this time, Lin Ye was almost at the door. Hearing this, he said something without turning back.
"You got one thing wrong. I didn't come back because of your request. Just like you said, my relationship with my mother is very good..."
“I’m angry too.”
That night, he did not hear his mother's call for help.
Lin Ye silently recalled the dark history, most of which were related to his mother. After losing her, these memories became warm, but also became needles that pricked his heart.
In the evening, Lin Ye was in his room, and Shen He's room was next door.
The light was on in the room. Lin Ye was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, studying the bronze mirror.
If this is the mother's, Lin Ye and she have the same physique, can we try it with blood?
Lin Ye took out his sword to convince the man with reason, and pricked his fingertip with the sharp thorn. A drop of blood dripped onto the mirror and stained his lips.
The light flickered, and Lin Ye saw himself in the mirror smiling. Then the rusty red mirror surface seemed to be wiped clean and looked brand new. The content of the mirror was a dilapidated courtyard with an ancient well in it.
Lin Ye’s eyes went dark.
When he woke up, he found himself in the courtyard in the mirror. Before he could observe more carefully, he heard a beating and a grunting sound from behind.
The amazing thing is that Lin Ye seems to be able to understand here.
Haha, you still fell into my hands! Go to hell!
Chapter 12: The Unfaithful Man Lin Ye
The pounding sound from the back was not loud, and with Lin Ye's physical fitness as a level 20 mortal master, he could completely ignore it.
There was no real murderous intent in his mumbling words.
However, for the sake of caution, Lin Ye slowly turned his head, his body tense, and clenched his other hand, ready to use reason to convince others at any time.
A glance back and a smile make her look charming.
This is a girl in ancient costume, with delicate and dignified features, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth, which is very consistent with the aesthetic of Liyue people.
She was wearing a chest-length skirt, the main color was bright red but not gaudy, it set off her flawless white skin, and the fabric was embroidered with colorful flower patterns. Her long black hair was tied up into a simple ponytail with a silver hairpin.
When the girl in ancient costume saw Lin Ye looking back at her, she smiled innocently, her black eyes as warm as jade, clear and clean.
"Gulu."
(hey-hey)
Like a silly roe deer.
Lin Ye was infected by this purity and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Then he saw the girl in ancient costume smiling, lifting her skirt, raising her legs, and kicking himself with her little feet in white embroidered shoes.
"Jili! Gulu Gulu?!"
(You’re still laughing! Am I funny?!)
As for being kicked on the back by a beautiful girl, Lin Ye had no special quirks, so he quickly dodged forward, ran a few steps, turned around, and had already taken out the weapon to convince her with reason in his hand.
The sharp edge of the mace made the girl in ancient costume "know the etiquette" and not make indecent moves such as chasing and hitting.
But she frowned, puffed up her cheeks like two buns, and glared at Lin Ye angrily.
"Miss, you and I have never met before. There is no reason for us to meet each other. Why are we fighting each other on this first meeting today?" Lin Ye asked politely, holding a mace.
Then, the attack was directed towards the house.
"Excuse me, young lady. Since you brought me here, you should at least tell me where this is, right?"
The girl in ancient costume had an angry expression and her tone became aggrieved.
"Gulu gurgle ...
(Lin Ye, you have changed. You went to ask that immortal to drive me away, and now you have turned your back on me. Now it is clearly you who brought me here, and I don’t know anything about it. You just bully me…)
Lin Ye was stunned.
Three useful pieces of information can be obtained from the words of the girl in ancient costume.
First of all, you are possessed by a ghost at the beginning, and it turns out that the ghost is you. Secondly, she doesn’t know where this place is. Finally, from what the girl said, you are very familiar with her?
Lin Ye has a very obvious characteristic in his personality, that is, he is very curious. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, and he is not a cat. If he really wants to, he can buy a cat to ward off disaster.
As the saying goes, you raise a cat for a thousand days, but only use it for a moment.
The girl is a ghost.
Lin Ye looked at her again and saw that she was standing on solid ground and there was a shadow behind her, so she didn't look like a ghost. However, from her mumbling words, Lin Ye remembered the mumbling words he heard in his ears when he put on the fairy treasure, which was unique.
"Gil! Gulp!"
(What are you looking at! Haven’t you seen a beautiful girl before?)
"I have seen it, but I have never seen a beautiful girl who can't speak human language." Lin Ye said honestly.
