Chapter 18: The River in the Southern Suburbs
"It's not possible, it is." The corners of Feng Jingyun's lips hooked up a hint of ridicule, "Why, your shopkeeper still doesn't make Feng Jingyun's money?" Then I'm going to go somewhere else......"
"Sister Feng stays!" The shopkeeper hurriedly took the silver ticket in his hand, "You can hear what the man said so quietly." Your ear power is really good, as long as it is money, how can a small store not make money. β
"Why don't you just call me Sister Feng?" Shocking clouds support the forehead.
"You generously gave 200 taels to the shop, don't talk about Sister Feng, you can call you Grandma Feng. It's just that the amount of your silver ticket is too large, and the small store can't be opened, so you have to go to the money bank to exchange it. β
"Go ahead." This pharmacy is very large, and I am not afraid of what the other party will do.
After buying medicinal materials with Jade, Feng Jingyun took her to buy more than a dozen sets of changing clothes, and Zuihou came to a high-end inn to open a room. At first, the shopkeepers thought they were dirty, but when they saw that they were rich, they changed their faces.
In the guest room, Jade asked, "Miss, let's buy something, why don't we go back?" β
"Take a shower. The well in our yard was dry, and every time we got water, we had to go to the courtyard where the people lived, and the people made it difficult for us to use water, and we didn't take a bath for a long time. β
"Actually, slaves and maids...... The slave maid had only washed ...... a few days ago."
"I can see it."
"Miss, don't you ask the slave where the water comes from to bathe?"
"If you don't want to say it, that's it."
Jade bit her lip, looking like she wanted to say something, but after all, she didn't say anything, just tears swirling in her eyes.
This girl has a secret. Feng Jingyun didn't ask, glanced at his dirty body, he hadn't taken a bath for half a year, and it was difficult to clean it thoroughly with an ancient bath bucket, even if he washed ten buckets of water, "I have asked the shopkeeper to prepare hot water for you, and you can take a bath in the room, change your clothes, and eat dinner." β
"What about you?"
"I'll go wash in the river. You wait for me to come back. After taking a change of clothes and towels, and a soap corner for cleaning, Feng Jingyun left the inn.
In her memory, she heard that there was a river in the southern suburbs of the capital, and she went out of the city at a fast speed, found the river, and followed the river all the way forward, getting more and more remote, until no one appeared, and then stopped.
By this time, it was already dark. What appeared before her eyes was a wide, wide, sparkling river, a breeze blowing, rippling and rippling in circles.
It was a beautiful river, but it had a terrible nameβthe River of Lost Souls.
I heard that in the past, there were boats and boats in this river from time to time, and many boaters said that they heard the terrible screams of ghosts in the river, and every year, more than a dozen people drowned in this river, and gradually, the river that had no name was called the River of Lost Souls. The legend that there are ghosts in the river of dead souls is spreading more and more, and many people say that the ghosts in the river have seven heads and eight arms, and the fangs are forest...... To put it bluntly, the horror is abnormal.
Slowly, no one came to the Soul River anymore.
In the silent night, the cries of unknown beasts came from the mountains from time to time, and the green hills surrounded by the banks of the river were pitch black, and the river surface was also dark and secluded, and then thinking of the terrifying legend, it was even more strange.
Feng Jingyun originally didn't believe in such a thing as a ghost, but she had crossed over, and she couldn't say that she didn't believe it. It's just that in the memory of this body, she only knows the famous river of the Lost Soul, and this river is the closest to the inn where she temporarily rests, and it is also the river where no one is around. Only here is it.
Leaving her change of clothes on the shore, she stripped naked and soaked into the river.
