Chapter 48: Bluestone Lane

The night breeze in the summer was refreshing, blowing on Linglong's face, but she was cold from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but shiver.

The mulberry paper has to be pasted to the fourth or fifth layer before the person will lose his breath, and in the process, the person is covered with his mouth and nose, unable to breathe, unable to speak, or even cry. This is a silent and slow process towards death, which is also a more suitable means of killing for harem or backhouse women.

This method is more subtle and more vicious than using poison or stabbing it directly.

Of course, the mother-in-law took a piece of mulberry paper and did not write poems and paint, but after all, she was only one person, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Moreover, Linglong only saw this piece of paper at the scene, if she was going to kill someone at that time, shouldn't she prepare at least five pieces of paper? You can't always cover one layer and then find a second one in the box.

In this way, the mother-in-law should not use this paper to kill people, but what is she doing with this paper? Also, my mother was sick at that time.

"You are Sister Long, you are Sister Long, Sister Long, you go quickly, Feng Wanrong killed your brother, she is going to kill you again."

Linglong suddenly remembered that after calming her mother down, her mother said this, she mentioned her younger brother, the little brother who was seen by many people and was thrown into the pool of Rongyuan by her mother and drowned.

Brother...... Mulberry paper......

Sitting on horseback, Linglong's mind passed by like a white horse, and her head buzzed, but then a terrible thought came to her that made her shudder again.

"Ball, ball, it's in place."

Linglong woke up like a big dream, looked around in surprise, and somehow they had left the downtown and came to an alley with high doors on both sides.

Kuroko stopped, Shi Er turned around, and in the night, Shi Er's eyes were like a deep pool reflecting the starlight, looking at her.

Linglong hadn't come out of what she had just thought of, her mind was a little dazed, and she said absentmindedly: "You go in, I'll give you the wind." ”

Shi Er was obviously a little surprised, the previous two times also made him take the wind, but it could be seen that he was very unhappy. Children are like this, they always feel that they have a lot of ability, and this kind of errand that steps on the wind wrongs themselves. Why did he take the initiative to ask for the wind this time, did he finally admit that his skills were not good, or did he have a bad idea?

"No need, I have already inquired clearly, there is no night patrol in this town after the third watch, as long as there is no accident inside, it doesn't matter, you go in with me, Second Brother Shi will also open your eyes."

"Okay." Linglong is still listless, the thing that the mulberry paper made her think of was too terrible, she didn't want to continue to think about it, but her mind was full of that thing, not to mention going in to see it, even if there was a mountain of gold in front of her for her to move, she was not interested.

Shi Er saw that she suddenly became such a ghost, and he also felt quite boring. He is alone, that is, he has only recently met this little girl, and he has done two transactions with Xiaoqiu, which feels more interesting than a person, so he is still quite excited to meet tonight. But Xiao Bu seems to have lost his spirit suddenly, and he will go in after a while, this state is easy to have an accident, and it will inevitably hold him back.

"Forget it, you better take the wind, don't sleep, and don't be lazy."

He said a few words and disappeared behind a high wall. Linglong grimaced in the direction he disappeared, I am neither hired by you, nor your apprentice, why do you command me, really.

The alley is very wide, you can walk two carriages side by side, and on both sides of the alley are courtyards with green tile and vermilion walls, and the evening breeze is gentle, and the fragrance of flowers and trees wafts out. I didn't expect there to be so many big families in this humble town, and it looks like a modern noble residential area, more like Ronghua Street and Gaosheng Hutong in Beijing.

Where big families live, there will be no stalls, no shops, and no people wandering on the street in the middle of the night. Therefore, it is very quiet here, just as Shi Er said, there is no night patrol in the town after the third watch, in fact, this kind of small place, even before the third watch, there is no curfew, and the night patrol is a routine to see if there are any fights.

In this case, of course, there was no need to control the wind, so Linglong, like the previous two times, lay on the horse's back with her back to the sky, looking at the starry sky, thinking about the thing she had just thought of.

She knows that the most taboo thing about coming out to do business is absent-mindedness, and she has understood this truth since she was ten years old in her previous life. She never takes it lightly, which is why she rarely misses.

But this time, she couldn't concentrate in any way, and she didn't even notice that someone was slowly approaching her.

It wasn't until Kuroko suddenly hissed that she woke up from her fugue, and just two feet away from her, there were three people standing!

Linglong gasped, she was really negligent, if it weren't for the sunspot, she wouldn't know if she held it down. But the current situation is not rosy. The moonlight tonight is very good, the moonlight illuminates the bluestone paved alley, and the three people are all wearing night clothes, not night patrols, but night walkers like them!

"Little thing, what about the wind, is the one inside your master or your father?" All three were unmasked, and the man who spoke was skinny and sick.

Linglong's self-blame was reduced a little, this person knew that they were two people, obviously after they entered the city, and they didn't come here just to meet them, so even if her eyes were like a torch and her whole body was on guard, the result was the same.

Linglong sneered and scolded: "Where did the lonely soul and wild ghost come from, you want to eat black and eat black, right, and you don't ask who my master is, just a few of you, you don't even deserve to carry shoes for his old man." ”

It is very risky to have one enemy and three enemies, so it is better to scare them first and kill their sharpness.

"The little thing has a big mouth, brothers, take down this little one first, and when his master comes out, we won't have to work hard." The sick man said hello, and the other two rushed towards Linglong.

Linglong sneered secretly, you are playing wishful thinking, take me, wait until the person inside comes out, and then exchange me as an "apprentice", you don't have to move a finger, just kidnap a child, you can make a big deal. But you're really wrong, and that man's brain is bad enough to exchange what he has worked so hard to steal.

Thinking so, she had already tightened the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and the forelimbs of the sunspot soared into the air, and with a hoove, she kicked a big man who was the first to attack into the air.

This big man is black and strong, but at this time it is like a leaf, crossing a perfect arc in the air, and falling to the ground extremely gracefully, the whole action is like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, in one go.
