To be honest, even if Cen Zhengnian didn't mention it, Chu Xia wouldn't be able to live in this courtyard anymore.
"An An and I are moving to the institute. We will pack up our things and take them there later."
Chu Xia and An An had lived in this house for a short time, and they didn't have many things, but even if they weren't much, moving would be a troublesome thing.
Cen Zhengnian said: "The institute's house has basic furniture, so you only need to bring clothes and daily necessities."
Chu Xia nodded, moved a stool and sat under the jujube tree.
Cen Zhengnian looked at her, then went into the kitchen and carried the thermos out. Not long after, he came back again and poured a cup of hot water for Chu Xia.
The temperature of the hot water radiated from the water cup, and Chu Xia felt the chill on his back slowly disappear. She stood up and took down the dry mugwort hanging on the doors of each house.
This is hung up in early summer during the Dragon Boat Festival, and has the function of driving away evil spirits.
In early summer, he handed dry mugwort to Cen Zhengnian: "You light the mugwort and fumigate those houses to remove bad luck. Throw away all the things."
She didn't want to go to the house where the murderer had been for the time being.
Cen Zhengnian said nothing, touched Chu Xia's head, and asked Cen Huaian to accompany his mother in the yard while he and Jiang Zhida smoked the house together.
The smell of burning wormwood quickly spread to the yard, and the whole yard was filled with a strong scent of wormwood. Smelling this smell in early summer, the mood gradually stabilized.
She took a sip of tea and looked up at Cen Huaian beside her. He looked at her with worry in his eyes and put his hand on her knee.
"Mother."
Chu Xia rubbed his hair and her voice returned to normal: "I'm fine."
At this time, Teacher Fang's voice came from outside. Cen Huaian stood up and said to Chu Xia: "Mom, don't move. I'll open the door."
Teacher Fang happened to be away from home today. When she came back, she saw her mother making a brazier and asked her to step on it.
She said that Mother Fang was feudal and superstitious, but after Mother Fang finished talking about what happened next door, Teacher Fang went back and silently stepped under the brazier.
Because he was so close, Teacher Fang also smelled the fragrance of mugwort coming from next door, and could even see some white smoke coming out.
She thought for a while, then turned around and came to Chu Xia's house next door.
"Chu Xia, are you okay?"
Chu Xia was sitting on a stool drinking water with her head down. Two dogs were lying next to her. When they heard the noise, they immediately stood up and barked "Woof! Woof!" in the direction of Teacher Fang.
Chu Xia patted Huang Zi and Heizi's heads and looked up at Teacher Fang who was standing in front of her: "I'm fine, I just didn't expect that catching a thief would lead to a murderer."
Teacher Fang asked Chuxia again if she needed help here.
Chu Xia shook his head and was about to speak when Jiang Zhida came out of the main room with a pink handkerchief tied to his face. He coughed twice and used his hands to disperse the smoke.
"Cousin, the main room has been smoked. Should the study be smoked? Hey, Teacher Fang is here too."
Teacher Fang looked at Jiang Zhida's outfit and was dumbfounded. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare. He said "Huh" and his face almost changed shape.
