Chapter 152: Butterfly Dance (3)

The Shen family is a well-known wealthy family in Liushui Town, and they have built a mansion in the suburbs, with two tall and sturdy nursing homes at the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Li stepped into the Shen Mansion and listened to Rose say softly: "It's really ghostly." He also immediately felt the aura of the unjust spirits around him: "Can you lead me to see Shen Ye?" I have something to ask him. ”

The woman led them into the flower hall and served tea: "Sit down for a while, and I'll call my master." ”

After a while, the head of the Shen family came out.

After a few words of greeting, Wang Li changed his words and got down to business directly: "Don't hide it from Shen Ye, this house is indeed not very clean." Does Shen Ye know the origin of this mansion? ”

Master Shen is a white-faced businessman, with a mediocre face, not very similar to the previous girl, his nails are extremely short, and the clothes on his body are very good, and he is also a person who will enjoy it.

When he heard Wang Li say this, he couldn't help but show horror on his face: "This house was purchased later, and I invited Mr. Feng Shui to see it, and said that Feng Shui is very good." In the past few years, I have been doing business abroad, and my financial resources are also very stable. How can a home not be clean? ”

"Maybe it's because someone died unjustly in this house before."

"W-This is convenient to expel you? If Childe can help us with this, no matter how much the honorarium, just ask. ”

Wang Li nodded: "It's only two or three days' work, Shen Ye doesn't have to worry." Ling Qianjin helped us before, and the honorarium was not needed, just as a favor. ”

Master Shen smiled bitterly and said, "You mean my second daughter Bijun." Alas, she is a kind and good child, but unfortunately she is a silly girl, God has no eyes. ”

"I see that Miss Shen's eyes are clear, maybe she just doesn't know the world."

"Well, I hope so, too. Bijun her, if she has half of her sister's intelligence, I will be satisfied. Master Shen paused, and waved his hand again and again, "Look at me, what are you doing with so much nonsense, you two are also tired." Sister-in-law Zhang, sister-in-law Zhang! The woman who had brought them here came at once.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, you hurry up and arrange a side room for the two of you, and then let people boil more hot water for the guests to bathe." Master Shen commanded a few words, and then turned to Rose and Zhang Li, "If you want to eat something, just tell Sister-in-law Zhang, and the kitchen will send it over." ”

Zhang Zhang said lightly: "You are too polite, you don't have to be so troublesome." ”

Master Shen immediately said, "I want it." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang arranged them in the east wing, and the two adjacent wings had been cleaned up.

The roses soaked in the hot water sent for a while, and they felt even more refreshed. Rose couldn't help but walk out of the room, intending to wander around.

The evening breeze blew lightly, sending Shen Bijun's crisp laughter, as well as Wang Li's low voice.

The two slowly approached, and Shen Bijun still had the spotted parrot on her shoulder, and she chirped from time to time to say a few words to the parrot, and then to Wang Li, with an intimate expression. Wang Li lowered his head and listened to her patiently.

The courtyard was lit with firelight, but it was not an ordinary fire, it was a ghostly blue-green. After a while, the phosphorus fire slowly extinguished on its own.

Rose walked gently into the courtyard, lowered her body and took some of the dirt on the ground in her hand. She was about to turn back to the guest room, when she suddenly heard a strange sound like crying and laughing from the West Chamber, the voice was vaguely familiar, as if she had heard it. She walked gently to the west wing, leaned sideways against the door, and looked through the crack in the door.

I saw an elderly Taoist priest in an apricot yellow robe sitting on the ground, beating his chest and feet, crying and laughing, it was Ling Xuozi. This person can be regarded as a generation of grandmasters, and it is sighing that he would fall to such a point.

Rose turned her head, and suddenly saw a flash of cold light in front of her, and the sharp sword almost slashed against him. With two fingers, Rose immediately clamped the sword in her hand, only to see that the person holding the sword was Shen Bijun! She was slightly stunned, thinking that the night was dark, and she didn't recognize her at once. As soon as Rose let go of her hand, Shen Bijun stabbed with another sword, fast and ruthless.

I saw that her face was gloomy and her eyes were fierce, as if she had changed from the daytime.

Rose didn't want to hurt her, so she used the scabbard to put a little on her shoulder, and Shen Bijun's hand was released, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter. She turned, stood on one foot, and walked away lightly.

From the west chamber to the east chamber, you have to pass through the courtyard, only to see a person slowly walking over, but it is Master Shen. He carried a basket on his back and dragged a flower hoe, which looked very difficult. He untied the basket and set it aside, picked up the hoe and began to dig the pit. The rose walked lightly and walked around the tree near her, making no sound.

I saw that he had been digging for a long time, until he was more than three feet deep, before he stopped. He picked up the basket at his feet and slowly poured the contents into the pit.

The rose hid in the tree, and could only see his silhouette, but it was impossible to see what he was burying in. She thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered that the hairpin she had retrieved for Tao Ziyan was still here, so she looked at the stone bricks in the distance.

When the hairpin landed, there was a clanging sound, and Master Shen immediately looked for a sound and left.

Rose jumped down from the branch and looked into the pit by the moonlight, but it was too dark around her, so she had to reach out and take some out of it, and wrap it with the bag of dirt from before. As soon as she finished doing these things, she heard Master Shen's footsteps approaching again, and she returned to the East Wing guest room like green smoke.

The candle flame in Wang Li's room had been extinguished, and he had fallen asleep.

Rose went back to her room and looked at what she had retrieved by the candlelight. The soil is very mixed, which may be caused by frequent churning. And the thing that Master Shen buried was even more strange, it was actually a few fresh peach petals.

Rose doesn't feel strange, how can a businessman go to bury flowers, and bury freshly picked petals? Why is the soil in the courtyard so mixed, and is there often someone digging there to bury something?

She blew out the light, washed up casually, and lay down on the bed, but she was thinking about things and couldn't sleep for a while. In the haze, she felt someone standing in front of her bed, and she suddenly woke up, but saw that the bed was empty, and the door had already been blown open by the wind, crackling in the wind.

This night, Wang Li slept very unsteadily. Outside the window, when the sky had just turned white, he was woken up by the sound of a flute.

The sound of this flute is like weeping, low and sorrowful, and the flute player seems to have endless sad things.

Wang Li put on his coat and involuntarily followed the sound, only to see that the courtyard he had explored last night was empty, but a big pit appeared on the ground.

He pressed the scabbard and slowly approached.

I saw that there was a shallow layer of peach petals in the pit, which was buried by Master Shen last night, but the petals were no longer fresh and tender, and had become dry and wrinkled.

He lowered his body and used his sword to pick open the petals, revealing a hand underneath, still as white and soft as ceramic.

The person buried below may still be alive!

Wang Li didn't have anything to dig such as a hoe at hand, so he had to dig it with the long sword in his hand. Fortunately, it was not buried deeply, and after a while, the man's face slowly appeared. He reached out and sniffed, but there was no more breath. Wang Li raised his sleeve and gently wiped off the sand on the man's face, gradually revealing a clear face.

It was a woman's face, with picturesque eyebrows, and a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, three points playful and seven points well-behaved, as if she was still alive.

Wang Li's hand paused, and suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him. He looked back, and Rose walked over.

She approached the pit, looked at the people inside, and whispered, "What's going on?" Could it be that you are destroying corpses? ”

Wang Li looked at her: "The person here, Boss Rose, don't you think it's very familiar?" ”

Rose squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while, and supported it with one hand: "Yes, it seems that I have seen ...... somewhere"

“…… This person looks exactly like you. ”

Rose was startled, stood up and said, "When you say this, it is indeed very similar. How can there be someone in this world who looks so much like me? ”

Wang Li said slowly: "Not only do they look alike, but even their expressions are the same." Do you really believe that there are such people in this world? ”

Rose looked at the woman buried in the pit and muttered, "It's true that there won't be." ”

Wang Li was silent, only to see that Rose was pale, and muttered: "I see, I see, so ......" She suddenly turned around and grabbed Wang Li's sleeve, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I will do this, it's all your fault!" You say, how are you going to pay it back? Her fingers were pale, and blood slowly oozed from her body: "If it weren't for you...... If it weren't for you, how could I end up like this? When do you owe me?! ”

She looked sad and her eyes were full of despair, which he had never seen before.

Wang Li didn't break free, and he didn't want to break free at all, but just asked, "What do I owe you?" What do you want me to return? ”

Rose looked at him deeply, and said slowly for a long time: "You owe me half of your heart, I want you to spit it out and give it back to me...... Give me back this half of your heart......" Her voice was no longer soft, and she was even more sad with a crying tone.

Wang Li was shocked and inexplicable, and took a step back, but he didn't know what he had bumped into, and his head hurt.

He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed in the guest room, the pillow falling to the floor, and he was actually slamming on the bedside.

Wang Li sat up, raised his hand and rubbed his temples. It turned out that it was just a dream. But why do you dream of roses? He got out of bed, washed himself with the water in the basin, and slowly put on his robe.

Suddenly, I heard a few bird calls outside the room, and the laughter of a girl like a silver bell, thinking that it was Shen Bijun who came over.

I only heard the soft voice of the rose sound: "Miss Shen, you got up so early." ”

Shen Bijun said with a smile: "The early bird has worms, and it is it that tells me to get up early." ”

"Miss Shen, can I say a word to your birds?"

"You say it, but if it doesn't understand, I don't know."

Wang Li walked lightly to the door and pushed the door open a little, only to see Shen Bijun standing in front of the door of the rose room, with the spotted parrot he saw yesterday on his shoulder, smiling as delicate as a spring flower.

Rose smiled brightly, her steps were light, she stepped out of the threshold and saw Wang Li, and then said with a smile: "You are also so early, Brother Wang?" ”

Wang Li hugged his arms and seemed to smile: "I woke up when Miss Shen first came. ”

Suddenly, Rose stared down at the soil, as if she saw something.

Rose looked at it for a while, and gasped: "Wang Li, come and see." ”

Wang Li didn't want to think about it: "Just tell me directly." ”

Rose raised her head with a complicated expression: "You take that grass back, I'm not playing with you." I'm afraid there will be other changes in this matter. ”

Wang Li understood that what she said by "this matter" meant that he was expelling the ghost qi for the Shen Mansion, so he picked up the grass on the ground and walked towards the rose.

She said slowly: "I have long wondered why the flowers and plants here grow so well, and the rest of the town can't grow such flowers and plants. ”

Wang Li looked down and saw a piece of black soil, revealing a piece of white forest, like a ...... A finger bone! He remembered the dream before, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the rose, only to see her eyes lowered, her eyelashes covering her eyes, and suddenly her eyelashes moved, and her purple eyes stared at him without blinking.

Wang Li looked at her eyes and couldn't take his eyes off her.

The Shen family is a well-known wealthy family in the town, and a breakfast is naturally very rich.

Rose Si Si gently broke the lotus paste bun and took a small bite, and then took a small bite, although it looked good, but a bun was soon gone, so she used chopsticks to sandwich a mutton filling.

Seeing that she only had buns, Master Shen smiled kindly: "Rose girl, this bun is for filling your stomach, why don't you drink some porridge?" The butter tea over there was brought back from the northwest, and the taste was very chic. If you are not used to eating, it is good to drink some ginseng tea. ”

Rose shook her head: "I haven't eaten many steamed buns before, I like it very much." ”

Master Shen immediately said, "Then the girl should eat more!" ”

Rose raised her chopsticks and sandwiched a beef-filled bun to Wang Li: "Brother Wang, you can also eat more, I know you like this the most." ”

Wang Li looked at the bun, didn't know whether to eat it or throw it back to her, and after thinking about it, he decided to swallow it. He had just finished eating it when another bun came over. Master Shen looked at them like this and touched his nose: "Prince Wang and Miss Rose really have a deep friendship. He sighed and said, "Originally, the old man still wanted to ...... Well, it seems that it is still not needed. ”

Rose smiled when she heard this: "Master Shen, Brother Wang and I are just ordinary friends, didn't you misunderstand something?" ”

Master Shen's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and said: "Actually, this is the case, Bijun just told me that he thinks Wang Gongzi is very good." My little daughter is thin-skinned, and she should like Wang Gongzi very much. Wang Gongzi is a talent, and it is rare to treat Bijun well, and I was very much in favor of this marriage. It's just Bijun she...... Alas, a stupid boy after all. ”

Wang Li paused, and then said slowly: "Master Shen, Ling Qianjin is beautiful and kind, and she should be worthy of being like a jade lover." It's just that there are still some things I haven't done on my body, and I can't settle down and start a family, so I'm really sorry. ”

Master Shen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand." It is enough for Wang Gongzi to have this heart, Bijun and her...... I don't think I can get married, if Wang Gongzi finishes everything, and remembers my stupid daughter, even if I accept her as a partial house, I will feel at ease. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a slender figure walk into the flower hall. When Master Shen saw the figure, his face suddenly turned pale, and even his hand holding the chopsticks trembled.

"With a father like you, Bijun is really pitiful." The woman who walked in had a face exactly the same as Shen Bijun, but her expression was gloomy and her eyes were vaguely fierce.

Rose suddenly thought that the person she met last night was not Shen Bijun, but the woman in front of her.

Rose caught a glimpse of Master Shen's every move with her peripheral vision, from his expression to his subconscious small movements, she could see every one clearly.

Why is he so scared? That woman looks exactly like Shen Bijun, she should be his eldest daughter, why should he be afraid of his daughter? Why are there such a big difference between two people who look so similar?

Master Shen coughed, and the grayness on his face had receded: "This is my eldest daughter Wanjun." Wanjun, this is Wang Li's prince, and this is the rose girl. ”

Shen Wanjun walked to the table and stared at the rose: "It turned out to be you?" What were you doing sneakily in my house last night? ”

Master Shen immediately came to play the round: "Wanjun, Miss Rose is a guest, how do you speak?" ”

Rose said lightly: "I heard a cry last night, and I felt that this voice was very familiar, so I followed the sound to take a look, and I saw that Ling Xuozi senior, as well as Ling Yan." ”

Master Shen looked at his eldest daughter and said angrily: "Now that Miss Rose has made it clear, can you rest assured?" ”

Rose looked at Master Shen and then at Shen Wanjun, and always felt that something was not quite right in her heart, but as for what was wrong, she couldn't think of it for a while. I saw Shen Wanjun suddenly look over, her eyes were still very fierce: "Our Shen family has nothing to entertain the two, it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”

Old Man Shen was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Shut up!" You, you, you...... I'm so! ”

Shen Wanjun looked back coldly, then the corners of her mouth moved, revealing a strange smile, and turned around and walked out of the flower hall.

Wang Li quietly leaned over and whispered, "Boss Rose, what did you do to this Miss Shen last night?" She looks at you fiercely. ”

Rose glanced at him obliquely, but did not speak.

Master Shen's face turned red and white for a while, and he reluctantly smiled: "Two, it's really ...... Poor hospitality, poor hospitality. He rubbed his hands, as if trying to phrase it: "Wanjun, she has been withdrawn since she was a child, and her temperament is a little colder, and it is all because my father is not optimistic about her." ”

Wang Li smiled slightly: "Actually, it's nothing, Master Shen, I think it's almost time to get down to business." Just to exorcise the ghost energy, the best time is at noon, which is also the time of the day when the yang energy is at its peak. No one can approach the courtyard from now until noon. ”

Master Shen nodded: "I don't know what else the prince wants?" I'll get my servants ready to go right away. ”

Tang Zhou said lightly: "It's enough to have the help of the rose girl." ”

The two of them turned back to the courtyard along the corridor, and there was really no one on the way, which showed that Master Shen had ordered it.

Rose suddenly asked, "Do you usually go to bury flowers?" ”

Wang Li looked at him with a choked expression: "Could it be that you saw a female ghost burial flower last night?" The spirits here are all weak, and they won't turn into ghosts at all, let alone form for you to see. Moreover, this kind of sad thing that a mortal woman would do, I definitely won't do. ”

Rose muttered softly, "It's a man who buried the flowers." If a woman were to do this, I wouldn't have asked you. ”

Wang Li immediately heard the thorn in his words, and muttered softly: "Since you are a man, why don't you ......ask" She took two steps and suddenly asked: "Could it be Master Shen?" ”

Wang Li hummed softly.

Rose shook her fingers: "I can give you two ideas right now." First, from now on, no matter what is unusual, it will be treated as if you have not seen it, and you will leave as soon as you have dispelled the ghostly energy. This is the most convenient and the safest way. Second, delay for some time, as long as someone has done something, there will always be traces left, and there will be a day when it will be revealed. This road is the most dangerous, and you may be dead before you can find the truth. So I think it's easier to take the first path. ”

"I also think it's better to go the first way." A cold voice suddenly floated in.

Rose hurriedly took a step back.

Wang Li looked ahead, and saw a slender woman leaning on the side of the moon cave door outside the courtyard, with a gloomy face and a faint fierceness in her eyes, it was Shen Wanjun.

The corners of Shen Wanjun's mouth twitched, revealing a strange smile: "Those who are close to here are already living dead, do you still want to become real dead?" ”

Wang Li watched Shen Wanjun's back disappear at the end of the corridor, his fingers tapped on the scabbard, and suddenly as if he had made up his mind, he strode towards the courtyard. All puzzles start here, and clues will be found here.

Rose suddenly raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve and said softly, "You wait a minute." ”

Wang Li looked down at her: "What? ”

She said leisurely, "Let's think about Miss Shen's intentions first. She had already told us to get out of here when she was in the Flower Hall before. Now I came here to say it again, and I still have to wait here without telling Master Shen. Therefore, it can be imagined that she must know the mystery, but she can't say it. Then the secret of this house must be very remarkable. ”

Wang Li nodded: "Maybe what she knows is not complete, just an approximation." ”

Rose snorted, and said, "Then why did she come to remind us of this?" Since this secret is in her home, it is very likely to be related to her family, why should she help outsiders? ”

"Then there are two possibilities. Perhaps she was well-intentioned to remind us not to take risks. Or, she didn't want us to find out what was going on, so she threatened us. ”

Rose smiled slightly: "Brother Wang, it's really sharp to see things." ”

Wang Li seemed to be smiling, and walked to the courtyard again: "Yes." ”

I only heard Rose sigh behind her: "Actually, there may be a third reason." She knows that there is a kind of person who thinks she is very powerful, and she knows that there is danger ahead, but she will still jump in to find out the truth. The more mysterious she said, the more the person wanted to do the opposite, jumping into the trap he had dug without hesitation. ”

Wang Li turned his head to look at her: "Do you think I will jump into other people's traps without hesitation?" ”

Rose thought for a moment and honestly said, "No." ”

"Boss Rose, you actually want to know what this is all about, right? From the mysterious deaths of the people in Liushui Town, to what they saw in the cemetery, and finally the Shen family, there must be some kind of connection between them. Am I right? ”

Rose thought about it and had to admit: "yes." ”

Seeing her admit it, Wang Li continued: "Boss Rose, I hope you can help me." After all, the only person I can trust in the Shen family is you. ”

Rose smiled lightly and nodded.

Wang Li said: "A corpse I saw in the haystack before, let's think of digging it up." (To be continued.) )
