Chapter 249: Cloth, Commission
Zhaozhou finally ushered in the first snow in winter, Meng Shichen swept the snow into a pile in the yard when he had nothing to do, and then fulfilled his little wish to build a snowman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info looked fun from the side of the painting, and also came up to help.
However, instead of a snowman, he built all kinds of small things that he liked to eat. In just a few moments, there was a row of strange fish in the yard, and all kinds of bugs, and a lot of strange things that would appear in nightmares......
Even the red-crowned crane, which is now part of the soul blade, jumped out to dig holes in the snow and play.
The black cat ghost is not here today, and since it was cleaned up from the painting that day, it doesn't dare to be presumptuous in the yard anymore. Occasionally, he will play tricks on Song Yu, but since Song Yu went to Longzhou to visit the grave the day before yesterday, this cat has been very quiet.
Lying quietly in the yard, and leaving quietly, not at all like the demon in the world as before.
Animal spirits are different from human spirits, even if they don't have a spirit body, they can affect everything around them while they are in a state of spirit. However, this effect depends on how powerful it is.
And cats are even more special, according to legend, cats have nine lives, so if it becomes an undead, it will have many chances to possess itself, which is a natural advantage that no one can envy.
Especially the cat undead that Guyang Town got rid of that time, just a kitten that hasn't grown up is already so powerful. If this black cat really turns into an evil spirit, the destructive power will definitely not lose half of the vine spirit, and maybe it will be even more powerful.
Meng Shichen looked at the black cat's favorite laurel tree with a broom a little negatively, she had spent a lot of time thinking about it in the past few days, but the contract was unsuccessful.
As if reflecting Meng Shichen's "sad" mood, a cold wind like a knife poured in. At this time, the door of the courtyard was slamming, very heavy, but it was not the kind of continuous eagerness, but it made people feel a little hesitant.
He opened the door before leaving the painting, and a man wearing a hat and a cloak stood in the doorway.
"Excuse me, who is Mr. Meng?" The voice is a woman, gentle and generous, like a dignified lady. She was not in a hurry to come in, nor was she in a hurry to lift the curtain on the hat, but just stood in the wind and snow.
Meng Shichen Shi Ran stood up: "It's me, please come into the house and speak." ”
The other party was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting that "Mr. Meng" would be a girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The moment the door closed, Meng Shichen was instantly surrounded by warmth. The snowflakes on the hat and coat of the person opposite also melted quickly, but she still had no intention of lifting the curtain. Leaving the painting, the hot tea was served, and the other party stretched out his hand to hold it, and the white and slender fingers reflected Meng Shichen's thoughts even more.
"Excuse me, would you rather get rid of spirits or nightmares?" Meng Shichen went straight in, and didn't look at the other party's hat, as if he wasn't interested in who the person under the hat was.
The other party pondered for a moment, and the teacup in his hand turned, as if hesitating. After a long time, the visitor asked in a calm and slightly apprehensive voice: "Nightmare, can it really be dispelled?" ”
"That's nature, life's nightmare, but it's because the heart is frightened by fear, which causes the nightmare spirit to take advantage of it. However, Nightmare Spirits are actually very small, and most people can get rid of them or drive them out of their heads. However, people who are overly anxious or sick do not have the ability to resist the Nightmare Spirit. ”
Meng Shichen took a sip of tea and continued: "In the body of this kind of person, the nightmare spirit will suck people's essence and spirit, and the bigger they get, the more afraid people are of sleep. The body will be worse, and this result will make the nightmare spirit even worse. Until one day the man accidentally dies in a nightmare. ”
After listening to her explanation, the other party's hand shook, and the teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
"Sorry, rude. I will pay my husband for an identical tea set. The other party opened his mouth a little nervously, and his voice was trembling that could not be concealed. If it weren't for the cloak and hat, she would have almost squatted down to pick up the pieces of the teacup.
"Madame don't need to be nervous, just a cup, out of the way. Let's just get down to business, Madame's mission is to drive away nightmares? Meng Shichen smiled frankly, and his bright smile overflowed his moving beautiful eyes.
The other party was infected by the smile on her face, and she was a lot calmer. But it's still a pity: "That's a rare high-grade tea set, and one less will destroy the whole." I can't make it up. ”
Meng Shichen's smiling eyes gradually deepened, this woman knew the value of this tea set, and she was really a noble lady.
"Out of the way." Meng Shichen smiled generously, and immediately after leaving the painting, Shi Shiran came up and picked up the fragments, this guy has always been very bitter about sweeping the floor, so he can only pick it up. You can't let Meng Shichen, who is a soul slayer, sweep the floor in front of the guests, right?
The woman under the hat saw the face of the painting through the curtain, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked. But soon she regained her composure and said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for a lot, I can't hide that I came to your mansion to dispel nightmares." ”
"I have a request, though. Regarding me, there is also the identity information of the patient who was haunted by nightmares, and I asked Mr. Meng to keep it a secret. The woman said, ignoring the reddish fingers that had just been burned, and reached directly into the sleeve and took out a delicately embroidered purse.
She pushed her purse in front of Meng Shichen: "The little girl hasn't left the cabinet yet, I don't want her reputation to be damaged." These are deposits, two hundred taels of silver, and please accept them with a smile. ”
"Madame, I'm a soul slayer myself, and I know how bitter it is in the hearts of people who are entangled by the undead. I have written down all the things that the woman gave me. I just don't know where Madame's mansion is, when will I come to check the situation? Meng Shichen glanced at the purse, and did not reach out to fish, but carefully inquired about the client's situation.
This made the woman's heart very satisfied and happy, and she also put aside a lot of worries in her heart and said: "If it is convenient for Mr. Meng, you can go to the Zhao family mansion in the north of the city tonight." At that time, I would personally greet Mr. at the back door with my husband and the rest of my family. ”
Pull strings? It seems that the status of this family is not low in this Zhaozhou City.
"In that case, then I will go to the house tonight without a trace to check on the patient's condition. Madame doesn't have to worry, and she doesn't have to bring too many people to wait there, which will make it easier for people to be suspicious. Meng Shichen said politely.
She's not a stingy ghost, how can she make up for her "shortcomings" that can't go through the door?
The man finally took off his hat and revealed a delicate and beautiful face. Sure enough, she was a dignified and calm lady, and she bowed to Meng Shichen gratefully: "In this way, I will thank Mr. Meng here first!" ”
When the sky curtain was lowered, Meng Shichen was dressed in a low-key pale cyan dress, with a gray cloak on the outside. Holding a white bone umbrella, he disappeared into the night with the painting, all the way to the north of the city.
