Chapter 311: Lock Girl
Yi Ying was unhappy: "But girl, he just stared at ...... like this"
"It's fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'll go back to the carriage. ”
There is a village not far away. The most eye-catching one of the high-walled compounds is like the house of a rich man.
Nie Qiyang was going to knock on the door and rest. Plus some fodder to feed the horses.
Stopping in the shade of a tree can't stop the scorching sun at the end of summer.
Gu Lingxian didn't care.
"I'll go too." In order to avoid Mr. Qu's sight, Ji Qianxia was willing to accompany Nie Qiyang to knock on the door of the rich family.
"Alright, let's go." Nie Qi's white teeth flashed as soon as he looked up.
Luo Rin's face sank and he wanted to follow, but he was pulled by Mr. Qu to ask about the changes in the capital in recent years. He's so adaptable. Luo Rin glanced at Ji Nie and the others who were walking away, and didn't want people to see his true thoughts, so he had to tell Mr. Qu something about what he had seen in the capital.
The door of the compound was ajar, and the barking of the doordog could be heard from inside.
Hearing the movement, an old slave walked out, and saw that it was a pair of neatly dressed and eye-catching young people, so he let him in, and then went to inform the master of the house.
Soon, a housekeeper came out first, and after a few words, he learned that it was the son of Lord Nie of the Criminal Department of the capital passing by, and his face changed, and he hurriedly let the hall go. Not long after, an old man who looked like a squire came out, arching his hands and smiling, very flattering.
Then he asked people to go to the roadside to bring other people in to rest, and offered good tea and delicious food.
Ji Qianxia and Gu Lingxian were not used to being restrained at the squire's house, but after drinking tea, they were discharged from the hospital to look at the flowers and enjoy the scenery around. It is not too far from the capital, and it is surrounded by mountains or farmland.
There are many old farmhouses scattered on the stacks, and the sound of chickens and dogs is endless.
The sound of children giggling was approaching, and one of them was holding a handful of wild fruits in his hand, and his mouth was full of red uri. Ji Qianxia played with his heart and asked them where they picked the wild fruits.
The child pointed not far away: "Right there, the Lin family's orchard, there are wolf dogs watching." You can get through the rotten fence on the other side. ”
"But hurry up. Their wolfdogs are really biting. ”
"If you bite someone to death, you will bury it in the orchard, and every night there will be ghosts crying."
The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Ji Qianxia and Gu Lingxian didn't pay attention to it, and thanked the child for slowly turning onto a path.
Just a hundred meters away from the compound wall is an orchard.
Surrounded by a high fence, the fruit trees are dense and fruitful.
"It's a tree, right?" Gu Lingxian asked.
"It seems that there are still date trees?"
The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a howl, listening to the people. And it looks like a woman's vocal cords.
One glance at each other and gaze into the orchard.
The main entrance of the orchard is guarded, lazily guarded by wolf dogs. Although it is the squire's orchard, it can't stand the red eyes of the people in the village, so they come to pick it secretly. It's fine during the day, it's most noticeable at night.
Fortunately, there are children to guide them. In another part of the orchard, there was a fence that was missing a small corner and was covered with thatch. Only one person can drill through.
Fortunately, Ji Qianxia and Gu Lingxian are both slender.
The two of them got in, and let Yi Ying and the others stand guard outside.
"Stop screaming?" Gu Lingxian stood on the dry land of the orchard and whispered, "How can you argue the direction?" ”
"Look at me." Ji Qianxia snorted violently.
In addition to the fruity tree smell, there are other mixed smells in the air. She choked her nose and pointed, "Over there." ”
"Smell?"
"Hmm."
The two quietly followed a different taste and turned a few mounds.
In a corner of the orchard, there was a strong stench.
"Hey, is this pouring dung? It stinks! Gu Lingxian couldn't stand it.
"Impossible? In this weather, it's impossible to water manure, right? "Ji Qianxia is also unclear about the cultivation of crops.
There was a strange sound of 'bang-la-la', like an iron lock.
Now both of them heard clearly, and they came from less than twenty meters in front.
Walk over cautiously and dodgingly, nothing out of the ordinary. It was an open space, surrounded by fruit trees.
If you look closer, there is a barbed wire fence in the clearing, and it is dark and gloomy, like a cellar or something.
"This is it, it stinks." Gu Lingxian covered her nose and wanted to hide.
Ji Qianxia said to himself: "Strange, what is in the cellar, why does it taste so strange?" ”
"I'm afraid the fruit is rotting inside, right?"
It's also possible! There are so many fruit trees, and they bear fruit and they are good. The squire's family can't finish eating, and it is absolutely impossible to give it away. Take it out and sell it, and it's not at a lower price. Maybe I'd rather rot in the ground.
The two were talking at the barbed wire, feeling bored and planning to turn around and leave.
There was a sound of chains pulling under the net, and a shadow pounced under the net, and the wizened hand clutched the barbed wire.
Gu Lingxian exclaimed: "Ghost! ”
Woo woo woo ~ There was a ghost crying that was oozing.
Ji Qianxia also bluffed a little, but saw it clearly for the first time. Beneath the barbed wire was a wizened figure, his hands as fleshless as bones, clutching the wire, his mouth open, whimpering, his eyes full of pleading and despair.
"Yes, a woman?"
"What?" Gu Lingxian is also a practitioner, how can there be ghosts in broad daylight?
Under the barbed wire, I can't tell if it's a person or a ghost, but based on these eyes, I can roughly judge that it is a woman. Very, very thin woman. I don't know how long it has been since I washed my face, and my head is messy and oily and dirty, in short, it is not as good as a wild man.
The wild man has a good face, and none of her is good.
"You, can you speak?" Ji Qianxia squatted down and asked in a low voice.
"Ahh The ghostly woman shook her head, she understood, but she couldn't speak. He also opened his mouth wide, and his tongue was shortened.
"Oh my God!" Gu Lingxian's tears were about to fall.
Ji Qianxia sniffed.
The strange smell is unpleasant, and this woman doesn't know how long she has been locked up here, eating, drinking, and Lazar all here. Also, there may be something to eat. It is estimated that they have also been mistreated.
"Wait, we'll let you out."
How to pry open this barbed wire fence is a problem.
"Xiaoman, Xiaoman......" Gu Lingxian suddenly called in a low voice, and pulled her arm.
Ji Qianxia responded, and saw that her expression was abnormal out of the corner of her eye, and she looked at her.
Here's the bigger problem: the orchard keeper stares at them with two wolf dogs.
Finished! Alarmed the other party!
The priority is not to save others, but to save oneself first.
"We are guests of Squire Lin's house, and we have no intention of passing by here." Ji Qianxia revealed his identity first.
The one who led the dog was a middle-aged manservant, dressed more brightly, and he looked like a small head.
He sneered: "Where are the two young ladies passing by?" ”
"You don't care how we pass by?" Gu Lingxian was angry, pointed to the ghostly woman under the barbed wire and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Oh, this woman is crazy. Initiate madness, not to mention people, dogs bite. There's no way, they can't manage it at home. Just send it here and lock it up. ”
"Crazy? Was he tortured to be a madman? ”
"Two young ladies, this place is dirty and messy, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, in order not to stain the shoes of distinguished guests, please come here." The middle-aged manservant quickly calmed down.
