Chapter 52: The Short Jade Flute
After eating and drinking, He Xiangxiang took Zhang Xue shopping, and Liu Yuan worked as a coolie in the back, of course, the last coolie was Liu Yuan's little follower.
Zhang Xue looked at He Xiangxiang with great interest, and couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, followed alongside, watched her look left and right, and finally stayed in an antique shop.
Liu Yuan glanced at the signboard of the store and walked in silently. This place in Yiling County is like a sparrow, although it is small but has all kinds of organs, here, everything is sold.
The first time Zhang Xue stepped into this kind of place, she couldn't help but be a little curious, looking east and west, and watching cautiously. But He Xiangxiang is different, he looks at random, but there are not many things in the store, but the style is good.
He Xiangxiang stopped in front of a jade artifact, which was a short jade flute with a big palm, and its emerald green color was a little peculiar. When I picked up the short jade flute, I felt a cold touch, unlike the slightly cool temperature of ordinary jade.
Zhang Xue looked at the mutton fat jade in the sandalwood box in front of him, which was a simple hairpin with a phoenix pattern on it, inlaid with gold. I didn't dare to take it, for fear that I would accidentally break it and lose money, so I turned to look at Zhang Xue on the other side and shouted, "Xiangxiang, come here." ”
"Huh?!"
Hearing Zhang Xue's voice, He Xiangxiang walked over with a short jade flute and responded, "Xue'er, what do you like?"
Liu Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and followed the sound to look over.
Zhang Xue said: "Look at this golden phoenix, how is the hairpin? I think it is very suitable for you." He raised his head and looked at He Xiangxiang who came over.
Suddenly, a cold chill hit, which made Zhang Xue shiver, and an indescribable fear came to her heart. And this fear came from the short jade flute in her hand, the trace of blood in the emerald green made people feel cold, and a sigh seemed to be heard in her ears.
He Xiangxiang looked at the golden phoenix jade hairpin carefully and said, "It's very good-looking." But she found that Zhang Xue's face was a little bad, and she looked at the short jade flute in her hand with her gaze, and said, "Xue'er... Cher... What's wrong with you? You like this short jade flute?" After screaming a few times, Zhang Xue came back to her senses and couldn't help frowning.
Liu Yuan also noticed the abnormality, and came over and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xue came back to her senses, broke out in a cold sweat, glanced at the hand on her shoulder, and said to Liu Yuan: "It's okay, I'm stupid." "His face was slightly red, and his pale face looked rosy.
Liu Yuan glanced at the short jade flute and said with a smile: "Like this short jade flute so much?"
Zhang Xue didn't like it, but nodded.
Liu Yuan opened his mouth to ask for it, and said to the guy next to him: "Wrap it up." ”
Zhang Xue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No, I don't have the money to buy it." ”
He Xiangxiang grabbed Zhang Xue and said, "What's the hurry, there is this kid here, why use you to spend money?" By the way, you wrap this, I want it, and that kid pays the bill." Picked up the golden phoenix jade hairpin and threw it to the guy on the side.
Liu Yuan took the short jade flute, personally took out a delicate wooden box from the counter and put the short jade flute into it.
Zhang Xue's face turned a little paler, and when she saw the short jade flute in Liu Yuan's hand just now, she seemed to see a trace of blood swimming... watched Liu Yuan take a cloth bag and put it on, and handed it to himself.
Liu Yuan said indifferently: "If you like it, take it, this store is mine." The hand squeezed the bag rope, his heart tightened, his heart was very nervous, and he was a little afraid that she wouldn't want to.
Zhang Xue looked at the brocade bag in front of him, the short jade flute was inside, and he could feel the cold from the distance.
When He Xiangxiang heard Liu Yuan's words, he deliberately ran out to take a look, it was really his shop, and walked in and said, "Hey! It's really your family, no, I'll pick a few more! ”
Liu Yuan saw that Zhang Xue didn't accept it, and hurriedly said: "Last time I saved my life, I still owe you a favor, I haven't thanked you yet, as long as you like it, you can take it all!"
Zhang Xue came back to her senses and said, "Ahhhh No need... That's it. Reaching out and taking the brocade bag, the extreme cold in his hand made him shiver. This thing doesn't look very good, staying here may hurt Liu Yuan, so let's take it.
Although Zhang Xue doesn't understand, she was also born in this family, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she also understands that some things are evil.
Seeing that Zhang Xue accepted it, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want anything, so she couldn't do anything.
Zhang Xue reluctantly smiled and said, "Don't pay too much attention to that matter, if you were someone else, it would be the same as me." ”
Liu Yuan said "um" and didn't say much, but he was saying it in his heart. It's different, you're not like them, at that time, they were all scared away and lost themselves. Only her, only she did not leave herself.
He Xiangxiang picked a few more pieces for the guy to wrap up quickly, and pulled Zhang Xue out happily, saying: "Xue'er, let's go to the play, I heard that on the fifteenth, there will be a singing troupe, I haven't heard of it yet!"
Speaking of the troupe, Zhang Xue also wanted to go to see Sister Mo Ruo, I heard that they were rehearsing a new play, and they went out early and returned late these days, it must be a very good-looking play.
Zhang Xue said: "I'll take you to the pear orchard, Sister Mo Ruo is in the pear orchard." "Took the initiative to lead the way.
He Xiangxiang asked: "Pear Garden?" said with a bad face: "Hasn't that barren courtyard ever been haunted by dead people?"
Zhang Xue looked at He Xiangxiang and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of ghosts? Then we won't go." ”
Liu Yuan said indifferently: "It's just the nonsense of the old man deceiving the child, my grandfather also told me that the death is still the official's concubine, and the concubine is still a singer." ”
He Xiangxiang's face turned sideways, and he said unhappily: "Who is afraid! You two are afraid! Let's go! Go to the pear orchard!"
Zhang Xue smiled slightly, trotted a few steps to follow, and held her hand. The pear orchard did have a death, it was my father who said, but I don't know whether it was a man or a woman who died, because the age is too old, and it has become a ghost story that scares children from generation to generation.
If it was haunted, Sister Mo Ruo and they wouldn't stay in the pear orchard to sing.
Liu Yuan looked at Zhang Xue's back and followed silently. Thinking that she is already married, my heart is a little uncomfortable, and she is still married to a ghost, which is equivalent to being a widow.
Liu Yuan also attended her wedding, and also saw her husband Jun Moqing, although he is a man and a ghost, he has absolute beauty, which makes people jealous.
Although he was only thirteen years old, Liu Yuan was relatively precocious and learned a lot from the mayor, so he didn't need to go to a private school to study, but he was bored to pass the time.
Liu Yuan secretly laughed and said: She saved your life just by taking advantage of the situation, do you still want to make a promise with your body? She is a woman with a husband! At the same time, she also scolded herself for being useless, but this feeling can only be stifled.
The two can also be regarded as playmates who grew up together, and when Zhang Xijing goes to visit the door, he often takes Xue'er there.
