Inside, the light was dim and gloomy, and the air was filled with a faint smell of fat powder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 There is an offering table in the center, but instead of the Bodhisattva Buddha, it is a picture scroll that has not been opened. On the offering table was a misplaced incense burner of the golden beast, and white smoke floated out of the beast's mouth, like smoke and mist.

The bed collapsed with a low green gauze curtain, obscuring everyone's view. The door was pushed open, and a cold wind blew in. The originally low-hanging green gauze tent was blown up, and you could vaguely see that someone was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Entering the house, Hua Lianyue only had one feeling, and that was the cold to the bone. This chill is not felt by the body, but a bone-chilling cold that bursts out from the bottom of the heart and quickly sweeps through the whole body.

A girl in plain clothes quietly stood on the edge of the collapse, raising her hand to wipe her cheeks from time to time. Hearing the sound, she subconsciously turned her face, but Hua Liyue was startled. I saw that her face was yellow and haggard, because her cheeks were deep in the emaciation, but her eyes were amazingly big.

This girl has also seen Hua Lianyue, but she usually doesn't talk much, but she always has a sweet smile on her face. She does things very neatly, and her voice is as crisp as a silver bell, Hua Lianyue remembers that she once heard Ah Tong call her Yingge. I haven't seen her for a month, and the sweet girl of the past has become haggard to this point, like a remnant of a lotus that is about to wither.

Yingge saw that Hua Lianyue barely showed a smile on her face, and beckoned: "Hua Hunt is coming soon!" but her eyes glanced at Ah Tong timidly, as if she was afraid of angering her.

What is the situation? Hua Lianyue looked at Xiao Fengnan suspiciously, but saw that he was surprised and dazed, obviously not knowing why. Hua Lianyue had to bow her head slightly to Yingge, which was considered to be a response.

Ah Tong had already walked to the bed, and while arranging the bedding, she whispered to the people on the couch: "Boss, you are depressed all day long, nothing more than feeling guilty about the young master and the clansmen, and worrying that the young master will be lonely for a lifetime." You see, he's grown up, and he's going to marry a daughter-in-law......."

Ah Tong seems to be immersed in her own world alone, she chatters incessantly, sometimes smiling, sometimes angry, and sometimes patiently comforting, as if someone is really talking to her in front of her.

In the eyes of Hua Lianyue and Xiao Fengnan, her speech was crazy, her thoughts were messy, and she was more like she was insane after being stimulated.

It's just that she keeps calling Xiao Fengnan the young master, which has already made his face as black as the bottom of a pot, after all, no one wants to become a good son in someone's mouth for no reason. He quietly clenched his fists, if it weren't for Hua Lianyue secretly pulling him, he was afraid that he would have a seizure on the spot.

Everything seemed so weird, Hua Lianyue suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and walked towards the bed step by step. Through the green gauze tent that was opened by the wind, Boss Xiao's thin rouge, pink smooth face came into her eyes.

Even though she was lying in bed, she still wore her hair in a smooth bun with jewels. The futon was only on her chest, and she could be seen wearing a bright red auspicious dress with gold thread.

The cold wind ruffled the hair around her sideburns, and the white smoke from the incense burner wrapped in dust and curled around her. A few golden-clawed spiders that had escaped death were jumping around in a hurry on the bed, and the situation was really indescribably weird.

Ah Tong has been chattering for so long, why is she still sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, and there is no sign of waking up? Hua Lianyue thought about this, and felt even more suspicious in her heart.

"Boss Xiao, Boss Xiao ......" Hua Lianyue called softly tentatively.

"What's it called!" Xiao Fengnan strode forward, he grabbed Hua Lianyue, shook his head and said in a low voice: "She is already a dead person!"

When Xiao Fengnan entered the house, he sensed that something was wrong. Although the face of the person on the couch was painted with excellent complexion, her chest did not rise and fall for a long time, and it was clear that she had been dead for a long time.

"Dead ......" Hua Lianyue was shocked in her heart, and her hairs stood on end. She finally understood why she felt uncomfortable. It turned out that in order to keep Boss Xiao's body from decaying, I don't know what method Ah Tong used to make this room as cold as a snow cave. The incense burner is probably also used to avoid the smell of corpses.

Xiao Fengnan's words obviously angered Ah Tong, she turned around and glared at him angrily, and shouted sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, the boss is just asleep, she didn't die, and she won't die." ”

Xiao Fengnan smiled coldly, his eyes were filled with deep vigilance: "No matter what you do, the master will not accompany you now." He grabbed the surprised Hua Liyue tightly, turned around and strode out.

The shark beads that swayed slightly between Hua Lianyue's forehead flashed a luster and crossed Ah Tong's eyes. She laughed coldly, a crazy cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly got up and grabbed Xiao Fengnan like lightning with her palms and claws.

Xiao Fengnan was already engrossed in vigilance, and when he saw that Ah Tong finally tore his face and was embarrassed, he laughed, pushed Hua Lianyue hard, and flashed up to meet him. Although both of them were bare-handed, you came and went, but they played the momentum of swords and swords.

Hua Lianyue hid in the corner in fear, her eyes were wide in horror, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. At this time, Xiao Fengnan kicked on a round stool, and the round stool flew towards Ah Tong with a roar, and Ah Tong dodged sideways. The round stool didn't hit Ah Tong, but she was in a hurry and didn't have time to take care of Hua Lianyue.

I heard Xiao Fengnan shouting: "Hurry up and ...... away"

Hua Lianyue knew that Xiao Fengnan was creating an opportunity for her to escape, her heart was beating wildly, her little face was as pale as paper, but she instinctively gritted her teeth and lowered her head and rushed out. rushed to the door, but she bumped into a soft body. She fixed her eyes and saw that it was Yingge.

Hua Lianyue, who was already highly nervous, almost jumped up, Yingge bit her pale lip, and said in a quick whisper: "You come with me......" She couldn't help but say, pulling Hua Lianyue and turning around and running.

Hua Lianyue didn't know what she wanted, but she could feel that she was not malicious, so she honestly ran behind her. It's just that Yingge didn't take her far away, and after turning around, she dodged and hid in an idle miscellaneous house.

Yingge closed the door with a "snap", she leaned her back against the door, and said to Hua Lianyue with a nervous face: "Since the boss died, Sister Ah Tong has gone crazy. She wouldn't let us bury the boss, and she wouldn't let us mention the word dead. She also groomes her boss every day and talks to her boss, just like she does on weekdays. If she has something to do, we'll have to take turns staying in the room. She said that she was afraid that the boss would be too lonely, and I guess she was afraid that the spiders raised at home would damage the boss's body......."

Yingge was extremely nervous, her speech was confused and vague, and Hua Lianyue only listened to it a lot. She steadied her mind and said to Yingge: "Wait, you are too messy, let me think about it." ”

Yingge had to keep her mouth shut, looking at her pitifully with wide eyes.

Hua Lianyue lifted the obstructive skirt and walked back and forth in the room a few times, although she didn't have to face Ah Tong who was acting weird for the time being, but she didn't feel relaxed at all in her heart. All the strange things she had encountered in the past two days had passed through her mind one by one, and she thought about it and suggested, "In this way, I will ask, and you will answer, how about it?"

Yingge said dryly: "Okay!"

Hua Lianyue thought for a moment and asked, "Have you seen this woman......" She carefully described the physical characteristics of Merlin's female corpse. Because in her opinion, all the changes began with the discovery of the female corpse.

As she expected, Yingge nodded vigorously after listening to her description, and said eagerly: "I've seen it, it's this woman named Hanwei, who caused the boss's old illness to relapse, vomit blood and die......" Yingge's subsequent narration made Hua Lianyue gradually clear the suspicion and get a glimpse of the cause of the whole incident.

That day, the winter sun was high, and the warm sun was shining on the people's bodies, and Boss Xiao sat lazily at the table and poured himself a drink. Her expression was indifferent, her eyes were misty, and she seemed to be hiding countless things on her mind. Yingge had been guarding behind her, but she didn't know it.

Until a beautiful woman with a beaded head and gorgeous clothes entered the Wufu Building with her entourage....... She came straight to the boss, raised her beautiful chin and said arrogantly: "Xiao Huaiqing, you slut has been hiding here and stealing a living. Didn't the people you killed come to you at night to ask for their lives?"

The wine glass in Xiao Huaiqing's hand fell to the ground, and she was like being stabbed in the center by an invisible arrow, and her eyes narrowed in pain. Then a large mouthful of blood spurted out with the liquor in its mouth......

In Yingge's memory, her boss has always been a cold-hearted person, and she has never seen her boss so emotional.

Three years ago, Yingge was still a beggar with no name. She wandered unkempt so far, and when she was begging at the gate of Wufu Tower, she was almost beaten to death with a horsewhip because she accidentally soiled the clothes of a guest.

At that time, Boss Xiao sat in this position near the window, taking in everything but never saying a word, as if he had not heard it. After the guests left, Boss Xiao came. Yingge only felt pain all over her body at that time, almost making her faint.

She barely opened her eyes, instinctively stretched out her scarred arm, and pleaded mournfully, "Please, save me!"

Boss Xiao glanced at her lightly, and there was snow in his eyes. After a long time, she only said lightly: Throw away, don't let her die in front of the store, bad luck!

Yingge was startled and wanted to grab her skirt, but she flicked her sleeves and floated away. Then a few people came, carried her half-dead, and threw her far away under a banyan tree.

Yingge was full of desolation, and thought that she was dead. didn't expect her to be so cheap, she even refused to accept her. She lay under the banyan tree for three days and three nights, and the water and rice did not touch her teeth. The incessant high fever made her dizzy, and she woke up and fell asleep, and she didn't know where she was.

Just when she thought she was about to return to the underworld, she felt a figure sway in front of her. Yingge barely opened her eyes, and her instinct for survival made her desperately call: "Water, give me saliva....."

A woman was surprised and said, "This little girl's life is really hard, so she didn't die...... so she was carried back to Wufu Building.

After Yingge woke up, she realized that it was Ah Tong who was the one who carried her back to Wufu Building that day. Ah Tong hid her in the firewood room, threw some steamed buns every day, and ignored her. It was also thanks to her hard life, and a few days later, her fever actually subsided, and the person came back to life.

With the strength in his body, Yingge didn't need Ah Tong's orders, she got up and looked for work by herself. This is a restaurant, and there are many customers who come and go every day, and there are a lot of natural activities. The busy cooks in the kitchen paid no attention to her, so she found an axe to chop wood with a gap. When he was hungry, he picked up some food that the guests didn't want to eat, and at night he went back to the firewood room to rest.

She lingered like a rat in Wufu Building, no one paid attention to her, no one drove her away, and certainly no one bullied her. This kind of life is much better than wandering and begging outside, and Yingge is very satisfied.

Months went by. When she first came to Wufu Tower, it was the spring when the grass grew and the warbler flew, and on a breezy early autumn night, Ah Tong came to the firewood room with a Mingwa lantern.

She looked condescendingly at Yingge lying in the pyre, frowned and said, "I didn't expect you to stay silent for so long." There's a dress here, you can change into it!" she tossed her a bag in her hand.

Yingge thought that Ah Tong was here to drive her away, and she said in horror: "Please, don't drive me away." I won't eat for nothing, I'll work hard. ”

Ah Tong sighed and said, "I've been watching you coldly in the past few months, and you can be regarded as backbone, so I'll let you go." However, this restaurant has always been surnamed Xiao, and if you want to stay justifiably, you have to cross the road in front of the boss. ”

Only then did Yingge know that Ah Tong was kind, and she said sneeringly: "But the boss doesn't seem to like me." She still remembered a few months ago, Boss Xiao lightly let her die farther away!

Ah Tong smiled slightly and said, "Don't hold a grudge against the boss, she doesn't even like herself, how can she like you." ”

Yingge changed into the clean clothes brought by Ah Tong, and was brought to Boss Xiao tremblingly. When Boss Xiao looked at her, his eyes were full of coldness and strangeness, obviously she didn't remember this beggar who almost died at the door.

Ah Tong said softly: "Boss, the person who replaced Wen Hui has been found, she can endure hardships and is willing to work." ”

Boss Xiao glanced at Yingge lightly, frowned and said, "She's too thin!"

Yingge was afraid that she would turn her out again, so she knelt down and kowtowed again and again: "Boss, you can do well, leave me." I've lost some weight, but I'm really strong. I don't ask for wages, as long as I can eat enough and have a tile to cover my head. ”

Boss Xiao looked a little impatient, and said coldly: "Do you have the strength, do you want to get paid, and what do you have to do with me?" Yingge panicked and wanted to kowtow and beg again, but Ah Tong stopped her with a wave of her hand.

After Ah Tong brought Yingge out, he sighed helplessly: "It's all my fault, I didn't make it clear in advance, the boss hates the most is the person who grovels." The more you behave, the more disgusted she becomes. ”

Yingge listened, and the indescribable grievances in her heart were sad. She sobbed and said, "Why? I just want to have enough to eat, why does the boss hate me so much, is it because I did something wrong?"

Ah Tong was a little unbearable, hesitated for a moment, and finally explained: "Okay, okay, you didn't do anything wrong, the boss always has her reasons for not liking you." But it doesn't matter, you will still chop wood in the back kitchen in the future, as long as you can keep to yourself, Wufulou will also be indispensable for you to eat. So Yingge still stayed with Ah Tong's acquiescence.

Later, Ah Tong found another opportunity to bring Yingge to Boss Xiao again. Obviously, Boss Xiao forgot about her again, but this time Yingge no longer showed so humility, but she agreed to stay justifiably.

After a long time in Wufu Building, Yingge realized that the real person in charge of Wufu Building was actually Ah Tong. Boss Xiao is addicted to alcohol, and although he has the name of a boss, he ignores everything. Except for the blessing on the fifteenth day of every month, he never pays attention to the things of the people next to him.

Yingge gradually became psychologically balanced, and it turned out that the boss was not cold to her alone.
