Chapter 7 The Soul Enters the Hairpin

In the silence of the night, the snow stopped, and the streets were covered with white snow, and people stepped on it, and there was a creaking sound under their feet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Piaoxiang Restaurant next door hangs the signboard of the soap wind inn, a two-story elegant building, a square stage is placed on the first floor, and there are curtain seats in each row on the left and right, and the straight rod lotus heart candlestick; The round table of the eight immortals in the middle, the straight-pole lantern candlestick, the three mahogany stairs on the left, the middle and the right, and many wine jars are placed in front of it, and the old shopkeeper with a gray beard is counting the ledger in front of the stage.

Jingshan put his left hand in front of the stage, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said heroically: "Come to a first-class flying room." ”

The night withered grass complained, what a one, and also leaped into the room, what the hell is this, pushed away Jingshan's hand in front of the stage, and politely said to the shopkeeper: "The boss comes to two standard rooms, and it is best to have the number of 66 or 88 in the back room, trouble!" ”

The audience had black lines on their faces, looked at each other, shook their heads, and were blinded in all kinds!

The night withered grass, who realized it later, realized that the opening method was wrong, and changed another way of saying it: "The shopkeeper, just come to two ordinary rooms, don't pay attention to the one just now, he is not sober." ”

Jingshan saw that the withered grass was in the way in front of him, pushed her behind him, and said angrily: "You are not sober-minded, what standard room, six-six-six, you don't know what to do, at first glance, it is a little white face who has never seen the world, the inn is famous in Qingzhou City, as long as you want it, there is nothing you can't think of." ”

Xiaotian suddenly felt pressure, and covered his forehead speechlessly, one head and two big, can't these two people stop for a moment!

Xiaotian said lightly: "The shopkeeper, come to three lotus hearts, lotus roots, and lotus seed rooms." "Break the deadlock, put down the silver in your hand, and prevent the two from arguing again.

Jingshan shook Xiaotian's sleeves, looked coquettish, and said puzzledly: "Why do the three masters live in three rooms, and one is not over." ”

Xiaotian looked tired and dropped the words: "I want to be alone, Jingshan your lotus root room, withered grass lotus heart, I will go back to the room to rest, you can take care of yourself." "Head up the stairs on the right hand side of the second floor.

Jing Shan looked at the back of Xiaotian leaving, buried the withered grass in his heart, and said unhappily: "You can do it yourself, and I will go back to the room." "Head up the middle staircase on the second floor.

On the first floor of the inn, there are only two people left, the night withered grass and the shopkeeper, you stare at me, I stare at you, I don't know which staircase to go to, ask the shopkeeper: "May I ask which staircase should I go up to Lianxinfang?" ”

"The lotus heart room is on the stairs on the left, the fifth room on the second floor, and the word lotus heart on the door number is the child's room." The shopkeeper answered carefully.

Looking up on the first floor, you can see the log fence on the second floor, hanging a few chic small lights, go up to the staircase on the left, the corridor on the second floor is very spacious, and the hollow promenade chairs are combined with the fence, and you can also look at the stage on the first floor when you sit there, which is quite ingenious.

Walk in and go into another Qiankun, and the layout of the first floor is completely inconsistent, according to the name of the room to arrange, the two lotus lamps outside the door are hanging, the candles are lit inside, the wooden door carving is also a lotus pattern, the texture is concave and convex.

Looking forward to pushing open the lotus wooden door, there are two semi-circular arc-shaped chairs in the front hall, red bean cake is placed on the tea table, and a large round bucket is placed in the inner hall, and the hot water prepared on it is smoking, adding a few petals, and separated by a large screen, which can be described as a variety of thoughtfulness.

These days in the other world, only this moment is quiet, the night withered grass is covered with old wounds and new wounds, clang, crisp sound, thin sound looping, a plum blossom silver hairpin fell to the ground, bent down to pick it up, and threw it on the bed with his hand.

Fade off a man's clothes, untie the cloth belt tied to his hair, a jet-black hair slides down his waist, lifts his feet and steps on the wooden bench, his whole body is soaked in hot water, and his hands are comfortably placed on the side of the wooden barrel.

A pair of cold, bloodless hands, gray-black nails, pinching the shoulders of the night withered grass, the movements are very skillful.

The sore shoulders relieved the fatigue at once, and with a cold and cold touch, the night withered grass said with enjoyment: "If you work harder, your hands are too cold, and it would be better to warm them up." ”

"Yes, miss." The voice replied softly.

Night withered grass suddenly felt half of his body stiffen, a feeling that something was wrong came up, when the room entered the person, the corner of his eye glanced at the figure behind him, dressed in a goose yellow maid suit, a pair of light pink shoes covered with mud, swallowed saliva, his heart pounded, there was a familiar look of where he had seen it, but he couldn't remember.

In order to see this person more clearly, he turned his head, and swept his eyes straight ahead, his weak body and bones, his appearance was pitiful, his eyes were moist, and his tears just didn't fall, which made people feel pity.

A familiar figure came to mind, with two half-rolled braids on his head, holding a needle and thread in his hand, insisting on teaching the young lady embroidery, and that person was the personal maid of the night withered grass in the General's Mansion - Xiao Tao.

Nightdry grass was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, and she couldn't say surely, "You...... Is it a peach? ”

Xiao Tao suddenly knelt on the ground, couldn't help sobbing, and blamed herself: "Xiao Tao didn't protect Miss well, I didn't expect to meet Miss on Huangquan Road." ”

Stop! The night withered grass made a pause gesture, left the barrel, got up and put on men's clothes, came to the bed, and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" "I remember that I encountered this kind of thing in a 21st century nightclub in the past, and I have learned from the past.

Xiao Tao remembered being killed, and she didn't even see the murderer clearly, and she felt ashamed of Miss. The tears were in his eyes, and he couldn't cry: "Xiao Tao is dead, isn't Miss also dead?" Otherwise, how could Xiao Tao touch Miss. ”

Night Dry Grass's disappointed eyes, I couldn't believe the facts in front of me, Xiao Tao can touch me when she dies, does it mean that I am also dying? My heart suddenly turned over and poured water, and it was these yin and yang eyes that made me see things that I shouldn't see, so I was killed, and I was going to take my life again.

Sitting on the bed in frustration, he kept sighing, looking at the purple lotus pattern brocade quilt, butterfly pattern long pillow, and white light gauze bed cover, the room was very warm and elegant, but the mood fell to the bottom.

Xiao Tao wandered back and forth, looking at the young lady worriedly, her face became worse and worse, she didn't know what to say to comfort, and stayed quietly by the side.

"Little Peach, where did you come from?" The night withered grass asked casually, put away the plum hairpin that was thrown on the bed, hid it in the pocket, and patted the baby twice.

Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "From this hairpin of Miss." ”

Night Withered Grass's hand paused, seemed to understand something, took Xiao Tao's hand, and said calmly: "Your young lady, I am still alive, but I can see ghosts, commonly known as yin and yang eyes, whether you are a human or a ghost, I will not dislike you, go to bed!" It's really tired. After saying that, all the worries were gone, and the eyelids began to fight.

Xiao Tao excitedly pinched the arm of the night withered grass and shouted happily: "Great, Miss, you are still alive." ”

The night withered grass yawned, and said sleepily: "Xiao Tao has something to talk about tomorrow, it's really tired!" He lay flat on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, and closed his eyes.

Little Peach was comforted to lie on her side beside the night withered grass, listening to her whirring snoring and falling asleep to the hypnotic melody.

The withered grass rolled over, kicked off the quilt on her body, pressed her left foot against it, and muttered to herself in an ugly sleeping position.

Xiao Tao got up, when his hand touched the brocade quilt, interspersed, forgetting that he could not touch the real thing, at present, only Miss can touch, helplessly adjust the ugly sleeping position, and lift the feet that straddle the outside of the quilt back, Miss never slept like this before, tossed, the soul was weak and weak, the white light flashed, and hid in the hairpin hidden in the pocket of the night withered grass.

When the sun rises slowly, through the small gap by the window, a ray of light comes in and shines on the face of the night withered grass.

Bang bang bang...... There was knocking on the door one after another, and the chatter outside kept talking, and finally shouted: "Dry! Grass! You get me up right away, and I can sleep in the sun. ”

The thickness of the voice and the dissatisfaction in the words, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is Jingshan. Night Dry Grass stretched out her arms lazily, and said in a hazy way, "Little Peach is up." "Turn around and see, the person is gone, it should be back in the hairpin, in broad daylight, how can the ghost come out, people and ghosts have different paths!

Reluctantly, he climbed out of bed and slowly opened the door: "What's the matter?" ”

"Go downstairs." Jingshan squeezed out two words and omitted a sentence, everything he said to this kind of little white face was nonsense.

Nightdry grass replied with one word: "Oh." He went down the stairs on the left and ignored Iyama.

On the stage on the first floor, the red cloth background is spread, and a small wooden bridge is only enough for two people, and the curtain behind is opened by a pair of slender hands, a man's face is covered with makeup, and a pair of Danfeng eyes that are elongated by color look sad, and he throws out his long sleeves with both hands, and then takes it back, and shouts sadly: "Lady." ”

A woman wearing a white costume with two white ribbons floating on her head, was meeting her lover by the bridge, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xianggong." ”

A monk next to him took something that looked like a bowl gold, and made a gesture to the woman to put it into the bowl, and said viciously: "The demon girl is quick to obey." ”

This looks so much like playing the White Lady.

Xiao Er took tea, pastries, and side dishes, filling the table one by one, and Xiao Tian elegantly held the pastries to his mouth while listening to the play, and the corners of his mouth rose from time to time.

Nightdry grass's eyes glowed, attracted by the color of food on the table, and greeted Xiaotian: "Morning! Rudely snatched the dish beside him, gobbled it into his mouth, and starved to death like a reincarnation.

The pastry that Xiaotian had put in his mouth fell on the table, he was stunned for a moment, his appetite was affected by her eating appearance, he closed his open mouth, and moved his eyes to the stage the whole time, and it was better to open one eye and close one eye.

Jingshan, who was standing in the back, didn't have time to take a seat, and his chin was about to fall to the ground, I was convinced of this meal, he looked like a scholar on weekdays, and his behavior was so ......

"Look at what, don't eat quickly, I can't finish eating alone." Nightdry grass said, the pastry powder squirting out of her mouth.

Jingshan and Xiaotian said in unison: "It's all yours, we are full." ”

After eating and drinking enough to listen to the play, Night Withered Grass slapped the table with satisfaction, burped, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Let's go, Weiming is still waiting for us in the mansion, bring her something delicious." ”

Jing Shan rolled his eyes and said in a heckled manner: "You don't have to worry about this, look at your virtuous appearance, you haven't arrived at the mansion yet, maybe you will be stolen and eaten, and the unknown thing must be more reliable for me to handle it personally." He packed a few pastries and side dishes to the shopkeeper, handed the silver, crossed the side of the night withered grass, separated a certain distance, and walked in one direction.

Xiao Tian walked at the back, looking at the two people in front of him with a smile on his face.

Nightdry grass chased after Jingshan, deliberately hit his right hand leading the pastry, and snatched the pastry when he was defenseless, and said, "You won't have to send the pastry." Fingers hooked the string on the pastry, happily flicked, and the footsteps crossed happily.

The corners of Jing Shan's mouth twitched slightly, his green tendons exploded, and he chased all the way back to the mansion.

Night withered grass happily carried the pastry, knocked on the door of the wing room twice, and whispered, "Weiming brought you pastries." ”

Dao Weiming stood quietly behind the night withered grass, looked at the back meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the study." ”

Night Dry Grass took a step back, turned around, and was only less than a foot away from Dao Weiming, and could feel the hot breath exhaled by her snort, instantly embarrassed, her ears were red at first, and she handed over the pastry in her hand in a panic, and followed her to the study.

The left and right positions in the study were occupied by Xiaotian and Jingshan, and Dao Mingming sat in the middle, opened all kinds of pastries and side dishes, and said while eating: "The deceased was poisoned and died, and then his face was brutally disfigured. ”

Dao Weiming raised his eyebrows and puzzled: "There is also an innocent body of the deceased, why did the murderer do this, and what is the purpose?" "Lost in thought.

The night withered grass stood awkwardly, glanced at Dao Mingming, couldn't find a suitable place to sit down, and stayed quietly aside.

"Sit in my seat! Don't stand stupidly. Xiao Tian said to the night withered grass in a faint tone, got up to give up his place, and moved to the side of Jingshan.

"Thank you!" The night withered grass said thankfully, sitting cross-legged.

Jingshan glanced at the sitting posture of the night withered grass, and really wanted to beat the little white face.

Dao Weiming interrupted what Jing Shan wanted to say, and said to Xiao Tian: "I think the origin of this girl is not simple, and the brocade of her clothes is not an ordinary material, but unfortunately there is no waist card, and there are no other clues that can prove her identity." ”

"But when you came back with the corpse, I found that she was holding a purple flower tightly in her hand, a rare flower seed, thinking that it was left by you when you robbed the corpse, and now I think about it very confusingly." Dao Weiming continued.

After listening to Dao Weiming's analysis, Xiaotian got up and said: "Without further ado, Jingshan and Weiming are going to the east, and I and the withered grass are going to the west, let's go to the mansions of various rich merchants in Qingzhou separately, since the purple flowers are scarce, it is easy to identify." ”

Jingshan reluctantly watched as Xiao Bai and Xiao Tian left in the west direction, and left in the east direction side by side with Dao Weiming.
