Chapter Ninety-Six: A Sleepless Night
Quietly at night, the little follower wandered in the streets and alleys, and kept watch for seven or eight nights, but still found nothing. watched Zhang Xijing march at night with Zhang Lao Wu every night, and didn't go back to sleep until dawn.
The dogs in the village barked twice once in a while, because they sensed something bad approaching.
Zhang Lao Wu took out the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip of wine, and said, "Brother Zhang, is there something wrong with you patrolling every night?
Zhang Xijing took the wine gourd and took a sip of wine, and said with a wry smile: "Where did you get so many unclean things, it's not that Madame got angry and drove me out." ”
Zhang Lao Wu shook his head and didn't speak, Zhang Xijing was afraid of his wife's affairs, and the whole village knew about it, so it was not a problem, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, which was considered comforting.
Zhang Xijing took a sullen sip of wine, and could always inadvertently see the people around Mo Qing wandering around the streets and alleys.
East Courtyard, in the cellar
Li Liang sat on a chair and looked at the two ghosts in front of him with a smile, in addition to Huang Limei, there was also a female water ghost.
The female water ghost looked at the things next to her and was terrified, this is simply to the point of madness!
Huang Limei's corpse had rotted and stinked to the point that the white bones came out, and the countless maggots that fed her were all wriggling figures on the floor. Angry, he had turned into a ghost, and looked at Li Liang in front of him with great coldness.
Li Liang stood up, and the paper fan in his hand hit Huang Limei's body, and the maggots fell down, fell to the ground and bounced, each of which was thicker than a finger.
After beating Mo about five times, Li Liang said quietly: "Feed enough fat." Turning around and opening a cage, something crawled out and said, "Eat, this thing is nutritious." ”
The female ghost couldn't see what was crawling out, and one hand reached out and grabbed a handful of maggots and stuffed them into her mouth, and a liquid flowed out of her mouth, and she saw that it was a person, and took a cold breath.
If it weren't for being imprisoned in this body by Huang Fu, Huang Limei would have wanted to kill him a long time ago, and her cold gaze continued unabated.
Li Liang smiled slightly: "It's not enough, hate a little more." The man kicked and said indifferently, "That's enough, go back." ”
The female ghost next to her was almost frightened away, and she didn't move, what would happen if she moved?
Li Liang returned to his position and sat down, raised his eyes to look at the female ghost, and said faintly: "Have you thought about it? "Cold and ruthless words are more cold and piercing than yin.
The female ghost looked at him gloomily, and finally reluctantly compromised and said, "Trade with you." ”
Li Liang nodded and said, "I just like to deal with smart people, and I don't get tired of doing things." "Pick up the bowl and drink a sip of Longjing tea.
The female ghost whispered: "You will die forever." ”
Li Liang raised his eyes and looked at the female ghost, seeing that the female ghost was hairy, only people were afraid of ghosts, but now she was afraid of the person in front of her.
Li Liang said: "I also think so, my life is a scourge, a sin... However, I can't help it, that's my hobby~"
Liu Sanniang walked out of the dark at the entrance of the cellar, a little ghost had been watching her in the dark, she didn't know that her every move was under Li Liang's surveillance.
Walking out of the back door, I turned to the back door of the mayor's house. It was the old housekeeper who opened the door, invited Liu Sanniang in, and took a look at no one around before closing the door.
The little ghost outside the door didn't dare to follow up, and there was a coercion in this house, which made him so frightened that he surrendered to him, and knelt down and kowtowed in fear and begged for mercy.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing the adult come out, the little ghost retreated in awe and waited for Liu Sanniang to come out three miles away.
The candle flame in the offering hall flickered, and the ancestor of the Liu family sat on the offering table, with a piece of sugar in his mouth and a piece of oiled paper scattered on the ground.
The old butler who passed by walked in with a frown, bowed to the offering table, respectfully picked up the oil paper on the ground, and said, "Who is so nonsense? "I think it was a handmaid who did it.
As soon as he left with his front feet, a piece of oiled paper appeared out of thin air and slowly fell to the ground.
In the west courtyard, Liu Ruomeng sat alone in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky. Ghost Zhang suddenly disappeared without a trace, and asked who didn't know his traces?
In the empty east courtyard, Liu Ruomeng lived unceremoniously, although he wanted to raid the house, but he didn't dare to do it, there was a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, who knows how many traps there are in this small courtyard!
He stuffed the letter into a small bamboo tube, tied it to the eagle's feet, frowned, and said, "Go and find your master!" With a wave of his hand, the eagle flew into the air.
It's been a whole month since I heard from my companions, and I'm getting more and more worried.
The eagle circled in the starry sky, suddenly descended, flew into the western courtyard, landed on the slender arm, took out the letter with his fingers, and let the eagle fly.
Li Liang glanced at the letter, tore it up and threw it into the fish pond, turned around and walked into the room, put on his coat, and walked out of the door leisurely.
Li Liang happened to stagger his meeting with Zhang Xijing, watched Zhang Xijing and Zhang Laowu, who was on the watch, walking together drunk, smiling slightly, and walking into the alley.
Zhang Youtou's house, Mu Xiulan lay on the bed, stroking her stomach, since she took Li Liang's Ansheng pills, she no longer had any discomfort, and spent a few months quietly, her clothes were half-dissolved, revealing her bulging belly, and the blood vessels on her stomach were dense, black and red, like a net covering this belly.
Li Liang walked in, Mu Xiulan looked at the person in front of her with joy, but she didn't have the strength to get out of bed.
Li Liang looked at Mu Xiulan, the whole person was thin, the skin was covered with bones, the deeply sunken eyes were red and bloodshot, and the outstretched hand was dry like a branch.
Mu Xiulan used all her strength to say a sentence: "Li Lang, you are here." ”
Li Liang smiled lightly and said: "Of course I want to come, come to see a result, there is no fruit in Twist, Huang Limei, but I get results in you, how can I not come?"
Mu Xiulan was a little in a trance, listening to his words, she couldn't hear anything clearly, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak anymore.
Li Liang picked her up and said to her, "I'll take you out of here." ”
Mu Xiulan nodded, looking at this man affectionately, the man who made him fall in love with him, and lowered his head a little shyly when he thought of this.
Walked out of Yiling County, walked through the fields, came to the depths of the bamboo forest, came to a dilapidated bamboo house, raised his foot and kicked the pillar, and a hole appeared next to his feet.
Mu Xiulan asked in a daze, "Li Lang, where to take me?"
Li Liang said to her expressionlessly in an extremely gentle tone: "Take you to the underworld and send you to reunite with Zhang Youtou." ”
Mu Xiulan opened her eyes, met the incomparably indifferent eyes, and wanted to struggle, but found that she didn't even have the strength to move, as if she was waiting to slaughter an animal, she had no sound when she wanted to speak, and watched him hold herself and go down.
