Chapter 124: Wangyan Bridge
Stumbled all the way down the path, and after half an hour, Ji Yuluo finally left the deserted village behind.
On a small hill, she turned back in surprise and saw a strange and eye-catching boulder standing five meters behind her.
On the boulder, three big characters are written in blood-red lacquer water dragon flying phoenix dance: 'Banluo Village'!
She staggered back, as if she saw a demon pounce.
With a scream, he turned around and ran down the hill in a panic.
I don't know how long it took, but a city stood in front of me.
There are a few lanterns hanging sparsely above the city wall, and when I look at it by the moonlight, I see two big characters written on the city gate: 'Wangyan County'!
Wangyan Bridge must have been named after the name of the city. Remembering that there was a bridge called Wangyan Bridge in Jiang Ruxue's story, and the city gate was closed, she lifted a breath and fell lightly on the city wall.
The soldiers were not alarmed, and they quietly flew into the city.
The ancient city of the moon cage, the city is clear and clean.
Walking along the ancient road, I turned a corner, the lotus fragrance was bursting, and the sky was empty in front of me.
Ahead, not far away, weeping willows are shady, lotus leaves in the pond are gently swaying in the wind, and green leaves hold up a small arched bridge.
That's Wangyan Bridge!
With a beautiful heart, Ji Yuluo seemed to see a graceful woman in cloth walking on the bridge full of sunshine.
Thousands of silks are like hairpins, she is like a celestial!
Her heart was truly silent at this moment, bathed in the moonlight, and she walked slowly towards the bridge, and finally sat down on the railing.
This night, silent and quiet, cold and calm, the past is like a flood that opens the floodgates, rolling through her heart that has been deliberately dusty for many days.
She found that in addition to her deep guilt, her heart still hurt because of that moonlit night. No matter how bad he is, how sorry he is for her.
The pain is with a touch of sourness, and the taste is indescribable!
It turns out that it is very easy to fall in love with someone, but how difficult it is to forget! The idea that the snowy mountains that were once in the deserted world should stay with the sky for a lifetime turned out to be so untested.
So what kind of feelings does she have for him?
Is it gratitude, or is it fantasizing about him as a good family man?
It's the Golden Dragon guard, he's bent on saving her, is it true or has ulterior motives?
He, why didn't he chase him out when she ran out? Was he afraid of hurting Jiang Chuhua?
He has such a sense of justice, and the dignified and graceful woman and him are a match made in heaven!
The heart is bitter. But he smiled lightly. In any case, she has no right to blame anyone, and she is only a crippled body.
Many thoughts of the past are entangled in my heart, and it is dawn to sit stupidly.
The gates opened. People began to move around the city.
Ji Yuluo looked at the back of a man who was picking vegetables into the city in a daze.
The man gradually walked away, and suddenly, an old man in coarse cloth appeared from the end of the weeping willow.
He staggered and stumbled as if he were drunk.
Ji Yuluo's pupils contracted. Curiously staring at him. Ten meters away, he leaned and fell limply to the ground, motionless. Still the wind blew off the robe.
Drunk?
Ji Yuluo saw that no one saw it, so she walked curiously towards the elderly man lying on the ground.
Reaching out to the tip of the man's nose, there was no breath of entry. Squatted down and overturned him.
After some inspection, I found that he had delicate skin and looked like a pampered person. His brows furrowed, and he found that although his face was as if he was a normal death. But there is a faint trace of black gas hidden under the skin.
Based on her experience in poisoning, she immediately judged that this person had died of poisoning.
Why are all the dead people you see?
The mood was even worse, and there was no one around, so I didn't want to do much, so I walked past the corpse and into the city.
Aimlessly, I entered the shop street, and strangely found that the hour was not early, but all the shops in this county were half-open, and there was no intention of opening the door. And there are very few pedestrians on the street.
A basin of sewage suddenly spilled out of a shop, splashing Ji Yuluo's body.
She stood quietly under the pedestal as if she were a celestial. The old man who splashed water like a shopkeeper said again and again: "I'm sorry girl! Sorry girl! The little one didn't notice that someone was in front of the door! ”
Anyway, it's a scorching summer, and it won't be dry in a while. She patted the water stains on her skirt and smiled faintly. Don't mind either. I saw that the old man's station was a ready-to-wear shop, and he walked in curiously.
While looking at the coarse cloth clothes hanging outside, he said: "Shopkeeper, the sun is too high, why don't you open the door wide?" ”
The old man put the wooden basin behind the door and said to Ji Yuluo, "The girl doesn't know. Since March ago, several families surnamed Jiang in this county town with heads and faces were dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded. A person surnamed Jiang from a nearby village was killed, and then, it was restless day and night, not often the army entered the south, and there were people with mysterious identities arrogantly riding horses to pass, in the past two months, the city was even more restless, and someone would die of inexplicable illness in the city every few days. Look at the dress, it's an out-of-towner. The world is in chaos! Panic! And there's still business? ”
Didn't Tianlou say that he had asked Ji Ming to forgive the sins of the Jiang clan? Wangyan County is close to the imperial city, and the holy decree was not conveyed in time.
Seeing that Ji Yuluo was interested in listening, the old man glanced outside the door, lowered his voice and said, "Internal information." I heard that the people who died of illness were all people surnamed Jiang, or some people related to the Jiang family. ”
Combined with the corpse she saw near Wangyan Bridge just now, Ji Yuluo asked suspiciously, "Is this true?" ”
She had a serious expression, and the old man couldn't wait to raise his hand and swear, and said seriously: "My brother-in-law is an errand boy in the Yamen, he is a head catcher, and he has done something, and he has solved all the cases in this county. He is right! But it was about the Jiang family, and he didn't dare to speak in a small shop. ”
It's my own burden again! Ji Yuluo lowered her head, her face gloomy.
The old man changed his words and said with a smile: "Girl! There are some coarse cloth dresses hanging on the outside, and there are some finely made, satin dresses inside...... Anyway, your skirt is also wet, not very elegant! ”
Ji Yuluo entered the inner room under the guidance of the shopkeeper.
Don't look at this as an inconspicuous ready-to-wear store, but because of the tight imperial city, the dresses inside are some fine silk satin, and there are many styles and everything.
When Ji Yuluo came out, she had two white ribbons tied to her tassel bun and a snow-white long skirt. A long tassel of white silk is tied around the waist, and the coat is covered with a large-sleeved kaftan of the same color. It's like a celestial.
She was escorted to the execution ground in a hurry that day, and her notoriety was too great, although she had no money on her, she always carried the original four priceless ornaments with her.
Eyebrow pendant, gold mantle, jade bracelet, jade ornament between the skirt.
The eyebrow pendant has long been lost at the foot of the cliff behind the pear flower temple, the gold mantle is in the burden of the back of the sky, and now, there is a jade bracelet on the wrist, and the jade ornament worn between the skirts.
Thinking about the two items, I like the jade bracelet more, so I handed the jade ornament to the old man who was busy in the cabinet.
"Shopkeeper! I didn't bring any money with me. What do you think of this jade pendant? ”
The old man took the jade pendant, took a closer look, and returned the jade pendant to Ji Yuluo, "Girl! Although the little one doesn't know much about jade, he still knows the value of your jade pendant. How can a set of dresses accept such a valuable jade pendant from you? That's it! If you splash your body, you won't be able to sell it anyway, so it's a gift! (To be continued.) )
