"hiss!"

It seemed like a thunder thunder was shaking the air above the head, accompanied by the noise of countless people whispering and crying in their ears, which were constantly mixed together, like countless ants squirming and biting their scalp, trying to get into their bodies.

Du Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and a gray-green curtain was torn apart in front of his sight, gradually returning to a little color from black and white, although it was still dazzling after a moment.

At the same time, a numbness that was lost and regained came from all over the limbs and rushed straight into the soles of the feet. It seemed that after squatting for a long time, the slight tingling sensation of sudden standing up all over the body. Even the strongest person in his mind could not bear such stimulation.

After a long time, the inexplicable pain finally gradually dissipated, and the five senses that gradually recovered also made him quickly realize his strange situation.

The blue sky, the slightly swaying shade of trees and... the cold river water.

"I'm in the river now?"

Du Bai, who was wet, used his hands and feet together, stood up in a mess and found that the so-called river only spread across his thighs, and there were a few colorful carp wandering slightly at his feet, touching him gently from time to time, as if he was looking for food on him, not afraid of people.

But he soon realized that something was wrong. It was not a river, but more like a square pond.

A pool in an ancient mansion that is often found in TV series.

Then I saw the surrounding tiles and landscape walls, garden-like paths and pavilions that can only be seen in TV dramas.

"Hengdian Film and Television City? Suzhou Garden? Or..."

He turned his head slightly and looked at it. He tried to walk forward but staggered unnaturally. As if he realized something, he suddenly looked down at his outfit.

A silk single shirt that is obviously of great value has been completely wet and stuck to the skin by water. Even though it should be summer now, there are still waves of unnatural chills that make people tremble.

This unfamiliar outfit made Du Bai realize that something was wrong.

As his eyes fell further down the water, he could vaguely see the slightly rippling green water surface reflecting a thin, sick young man. Although his facial features seemed to be considered a handsome man, his unfamiliarity made his heart stumble.

"I'm traveling through time?"

His eyes were a little confused. Why didn't he even remember the little bit of his mind? He only remembered his experience on earth, but knew nothing about this new body.

This is not "time travel"!

As a comrade who was deeply poisoned by novels, he immediately began to calm himself down and try to think about his current situation.

First of all, you must not let others see that this body has been occupied by the magpie's nest. According to the degree of ignorance in ancient times, it is very likely that you will burn yourself to death as a demon and a ghost!

Then, try to pretend to inadvertently figure out what your identity is on the basis of this.

Fortunately, this outfit should have a good background, at least it should be a rich young man. Finally, I don’t have to work hard like those time travelers to start a family.

"Then why did the predecessor drown in this small pond?"

Du Bai suddenly remembered this question and frowned slightly, always feeling something was wrong.

But at this moment, a noisy sound came from a distance, with a hint of crying tone that made people understand it, but there were indeed many people walking towards this side.

He was stunned, but he didn't expect to make any expression to deal with it properly. From the other side of the cave, a few servants dressed in servants and a few women dressed in plain clothes quickly came.

Just when he could not dodge his eyes, he strangely discovered that the other party's movements seemed to have stopped instantly, and he widened his eyes and looked like he was seeing a ghost.

Du Bai's mouth twitched slightly, and wanted to wave his hand and say hello friendly, but he felt that this method might not be suitable for the current situation.

After a moment of silence, one of the old milfs raised the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the tears, and screamed in his throat: "Son-in-law! Son-in-law! Bodhisattva bless you, Son-in-law is fine!"

It seemed that her voice woke up the others. A group of people woke up like a dream and immediately rushed over, surrounding Du Bai like stars holding the moon. The son-in-law called him and looked confused, but he didn't know how to respond. He could only pretend to be calm and nodded, trying not to reveal his flaws, but he was thinking in his heart.

"What's wrong with me getting married? My son-in-law? Xi is a father? Bah, Xi is a husband?"

I don’t know which clever maid called me first and my son-in-law that my body was wet. Immediately, two anxious mothers urged me to prepare hot water and clean clothes for changing. Don’t let my son-in-law catch a cold.

Du Bai, who had adapted to this enthusiasm, let the servants support him and walk out along the path without saying a word. According to what they said, it should be going to the room in front of him.

What he cared a little about was that although the tone of the people here spoke a little strange, they were indeed in Chinese. They just didn’t know which era they had come to...

Just as he was thinking in his heart, the woman who had been using an embroidered squid to wipe the water stains on his face saw that he did not say anything, and thought he was angry about this incident. She immediately comforted her softly: "Son-in-law, don't worry, the girl who pushed you into the water has been locked in the woodshed by me. When the eldest lady comes back later, she will definitely be fair to you. At that time, whether it is to break the slut's legs and throw them out or sell them to the brothel, it will be your words..."

Although it was a consolation, it seemed that the so-called Lier was not regarded as a human being in his tone, just like a livestock they could deal with.

As a modern person, he is somewhat uncomfortable with this.

But if you don’t mention these things for now, he won’t suddenly become kind-hearted. After all, there are already a lot of useful information he can extract from what he said just now.

The little maid named Li'er was the culprit who caused her to drown her predecessor and caused her to travel through time? It is not clear what made her dare to murder her master like this, and there are many secrets in it.

Also, I said I would wait for the eldest lady to come back to make the decision...

Is it the wife you inherited?

This kind of thing needs her to make decisions, which proves that she doesn’t have much say in this family, or that she is completely under that wife.

Either the wife is strictly in charge, or the family background is declining, or it is the so-called... son-in-law?

Du Bai nodded thoughtfully, his face was cold and he still didn't say much.

The woman looked at his face carefully, and did not dare to say anything more. She just thought he was still angry, so she urged the maid who was lowering her head and prepared quickly.

************

At the same time, in the dry and dusty wood chips, a beautiful girl in a slightly messy dress leaned against the firewood pile in the corner of the wall. Her face turned slightly pale, and a few strands of blood were oozing from the corner of her mouth. She seemed to have just been slapped a few times. Her eyes were staring at the tightly closed door at this moment, and while breathing a little, she hugged her legs tightly, as if she was waiting for the news.

News that the son-in-law's drowned body was carried out.

Her palms trembled slightly.

This afternoon, she finally found an excuse to cheat the son-in-law who had been studying behind closed doors all day and out of the room alone. Finally, she found an opportunity to push him into the pond with her own hands, and then pressed him down with all her strength until he completely lost his breathing.

I just surrendered to my aunts just to take the opportunity to spread the news.

At this point, her mission should have been completed...

Before, she felt both uneasy and panic, but now she was only calm and a little longing. As long as people outside knew the news of the completion of the task, someone would soon pick him up. Then she would fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix. How could she be a tea-serving maid in this Su Mansion?

Until a moment later.

The vague words of the servants from outside the door made her face change instantly, her eyes wide open, as if she had heard the most incredible thing.

"Not dead?"

"How is that possible?"

"I drowned him with my own hands!"

"Then...what should I do?"
Chapter completed!
