Taking a few steps back, I stood in front of the quaint village house and looked carefully, the house was very old, there was no smell of modern architecture at all, and there was a large plaque hanging above the top of the door, and the wood was of fine timber, but there was no writing on it.

A house without a name, I raised my eyebrows, which is not quite in line with the behavior of low-key and elegant people recently. Generally speaking, you have to choose an elegant name to look tasteful.

When I turned my head, I saw the big banyan tree standing on the left, looking like a rich green and full of life. Walking over, standing under the tree and looking up, the shredded sunlight casts a shadow on the ground as the intricate leaves fall.

I looked down and saw that there was no shadow of myself.

There was a chuckle in my head, and a bad premonition came. Sure enough, in the next second, the shade of the tree swayed, and the branches of the big banyan tree quickly stretched and quickly surrounded me, and I didn't have time to call for help, and I lost consciousness again with a flower in front of me.

There was a smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the wings of my nose twitched slightly, and I finally opened my eyes. I found myself lying on the bluestone slab floor, looking at the empty streets on both sides, and the houses looked like an old-fashioned feeling from the Republic of China.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and confetti flew up on the ground, and one of them was pasted on my face, and I took it down to take a closer look, and it was actually paper money. Circles of equal size, yellow wrinkled paper, and more paper money blowing towards me in a daze.

I hurriedly stood up and dodged, and when I looked up, I saw five or six braziers in the middle of the road, which were burning paper money and folded gold ingots...... What's going on?

There was no shortage of shops in the middle of the houses on both sides, but I looked around. There is a layer of dust on the plaque, but I am afraid that it has been closed for a while. The place is depressed and deserted, and most importantly not a little popular.

-- There is no breath of a living person.

Am I dead?

No way......

With this question in mind, I walked on the deserted street, the weather was getting cooler, the autumn breeze was bleak, the short-sleeved suit I was wearing was thinner, and my exposed arms and ankles could not stop the chill, and I couldn't help but sneeze.

"Haqiu!"

Rubbing his nose, he noticed a girl in a blue school uniform with short ear-length hair coming in front of me. There is a pearl clip pinned to his hair. The black skirt reaches the knee level, and the feet are covered with white socks and black cloth shoes.

This dress instantly reminds me of Ye Minglang. Her identity is clearly the most common dress of female students during the Republic of China. I kept staring at her, she was very young, a little younger than me. Certainly not more than twenty years old.

She came from the front. When you get to a certain place, you go back the way you came. Back and forth, back and forth, I observed for a while. Finally moved his feet closer to her.

"Hello......" I said cautiously, cautiously, "are you from here?" ”

The girl paused, turned her head to look at me, her complexion was as white as jade, and the dry air of the autumn wind could not erase the ruddy glow on her cheeks, and her heart couldn't help but be quiet when she looked at her, and then she smiled.

"My name is Cao Shuhui, a student in the second class of Shin Shin Girls' School."

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly introduced myself: "Oh, hello, my name is Ning Huan, and I am ...... Out of town, I want to ask you-"I was under a banyan tree before I was brought to this space, so I guess the banyan tree must be the medium connecting the two worlds." I hope to get useful information from Cao Shuhui's mouth.

Unexpectedly, before I could ask, she frowned slightly, as if there was a mixture of sorrow in her eyebrows, and asked leisurely, "Have you seen Mingzhi?" I'm waiting for him......"

Who? I shook my head, "I'm sorry, I don't know him." By the way, there's a tree around here—"

The words were interrupted by her again, and she turned around like a sad lonely goose and slowly left, with words in her mouth: "Mingzhi, where are you?" I've been waiting for you for a long time...... Long ......"

"Hey, you wait—" I didn't give up on catching up, and when I was about to touch her arm, a gust of wind blew on the ground, and the sound of the wind blinded my vision, and when the surroundings were quiet, and when I opened my eyes, the street was empty again.

Cao Shuhui, a girl from the Republic of China, is gone.

I was the only one left on the street. Wait, where is the noise of people? I listened intently, running towards the source of the sound, and didn't stop until I was in front of a fancy clubhouse.

It's strange, obviously there was no such store just now, but it suddenly appeared. I scanned my surroundings suspiciously, and there was no longer the depression I had just looked, and the small vendors greeted the passers-by with smiles on their faces, and then looked at the people in the streets, all kinds of men and women walking in old-fashioned clothes.

Ringing bells, the sound of bicycle bells ringing.

"Eh, let me go." Someone shouted from behind, and when I turned around, I saw a young man in a tunic riding over, hurriedly taking a step back.

The boy was still carrying a satchel and smiling like a big boy: "Thank you." ”

"No need to ......," I reacted a beat slower, "...... Finish. Watching his back go away, I inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. It seems that I have seen him somewhere.

I searched, but I was sure that there was no clue to this person in my head. Odd.

I tilted my head and walked a few steps to the side, looking at the lively and peaceful crowd on the road as I walked, and unconsciously walked into a remote alley. The narrow alley, with moss on the walls on both sides, seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

I don't think there will be trees here. I shook my head and turned around to leave, but out of nowhere a few big men appeared, and after blocking the road at the entrance of the alley, the bald head in the lead had a tattoo of a clawed dragon on the side of his neck, with teeth and claws, which was extremely hideous.

My scalp was numb, my feet moved slowly, and I looked at them vigilantly: "I'm sorry, I'm going out, please let me go." ”

The big men laughed when they heard each other, the tattooed bald face sneered, and made a gesture forward, and the few people behind me immediately ran towards me, and I turned around and ran away with excitement in my heart, but I didn't expect to meet a thin man around the corner again, and he took the opportunity to cut off a palm.

Damn, why am I so unlucky......

His vision was dim, and he fell into a complete coma.

When I woke up, I was tied hand and foot and thrown on a broken bed, the bedding was damp and a little moldy, and I could see spots of mildew when I turned my head. The pain in the back of my neck made me grin.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, "What about the girl?" ”

"I'm still dizzy. What does the boss say? To collect or not to receive? ”

"Well, he said that this girl has three points of beauty, and gave three oceans, and when the money is in hand, I'll go play first......" The man laughed darkly, indescribably ambiguous.

I don't sound right, I guess you sold me, right? As soon as he was nervous, he started to move, writhing a few times on the bed, and one didn't pay attention to rolling off the bed, and his body hit the ground and made a lot of noise.

"What sound? It's the girl inside—"

"You heard me wrong, I went to see her just now. I'm still dizzy. Huh. I said that you should put your mind away, and we can't contaminate the goods sold, otherwise we will break the rules of the road......"

The man snorted unwillingly, for a long time. The sound of footsteps and conversation faded away. My face is on the ground. Finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled over and lay on his back on the ground, but his heart was beating with fear from the scene on the ceiling.

Against a dark background, a woman in a big red robe spreads her limbs. Like a capital cross, she was lying on the ceiling like that, blood falling drop by drop, falling on my face cold, my lips trembled a few times, and I saw the woman's raised Danfeng eyes blink a few times, slowly raise her head, black hair like splashed ink hanging down from both sides, and the cherry lips as bright as peonies moved.

She opened her mouth and said a few words: "Help...... Ming...... ......" suddenly tilted my head, and my body lost its support and fell down from above, causing me to scream in fright.

"Ahh

"Who's in there?" A clear female voice came, and then the door was opened, and someone came into the house with a kerosene lamp, and the light shone on me, but I was still unwilling to open my eyes.

"Sister Yinyin, she ......"

"Are you alright? Hey, wake up-" A slightly cold finger touched my face, patted it lightly, breathing closely, I smelled the fresh scent of orchids on her body, and my sanity and courage came back a little.

There was a scent, I remember that those ghosts only had the smell of decay, this person, not a ghost.

I tried to open my eyes, and I saw a well-groomed face, with a goose egg face, red phoenix eyes, thin eyebrows, and a purple slim cheongsam kneeling beside me.

I muttered, "Who are you?" ”

The woman raised her eyebrows, revealing a bit of bright style, and the little girl on the side opened her mouth: "My master saved you, and I haven't asked you anything, but you actually inquired-"

The little girl was about to say something, but was interrupted by the woman: "Little peach." Go find a pair of scissors. “

Xiao Tao stopped her mouth, deflated, and searched the room.

"My surname is Xu, Xu Yinyin." She smiled at me, lifted me up from the ground and leaned in front of her, and asked Xiao Tao to cut the rope that tied my hands from behind, "You were abducted by the bald ones." ”

Bareheaded...... I immediately nodded: "Yes, the bald head in the lead, and the tattoo ......" I rubbed my red and swollen wrist and looked at the darkness outside, "Where is this?" ”

"You don't know?" Xiao Tao couldn't help but interject, "This is the Xiangge Club, and the master of my family is the top girl, known as the Xiang Lady." "Little Peach is very proud.

Yin Yin pulled her face and whispered, "If you want to talk more, go and clean up a room in my yard, this—" She looked at me and asked.

I hurriedly said, "Ning Huan, my name is Ning Huan." ”

Yin Yin smiled, and then instructed Xiao Tao: "Miss Ning will stay with me today, you can go quickly." ”

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "But, where the boss is-"

Yin Yin's eyes were slightly cold, and her tone was a little tougher: "Although the world is chaotic now, it is not so chaotic that you can turn a good woman on the street at will!" I'll go back and explain it myself, boss, you just listen to me and go and clean up the room. ”

Xiao Tao could only retreat without saying a word.

About half an hour later, Xiao Tao came back to recover after cleaning up, and I was almost rested, and followed them into Xu Yinyin's yard. Her courtyard is much more gorgeous than the dilapidated courtyard where I was imprisoned, and there is no shortage of Western goods in the room, which should be very valuable in this era.

Xiao Tao said that Xu Yinyin is the top brand of the club, and it seems that she is very valued by the boss. However, I was more concerned about the words spoken by the red-robed woman on the ceiling in the room before-Save Mingzhi.

If I remember correctly, Cao Shuhui, a girl from the Republic of China, also said this name, Mingzhi, Mingzhi, who is this person? What does it have to do with me coming here?

There are too many questions, but I don't know where to start.

"Where is Miss Ning from?" Xu Yinyin stood in front of the bed curtain, her hands were slender, and when she slid over the bed curtain, the cardamom on her nails was exposed, and a pattern was hollowed out in the middle of the red and gorgeous, which was very trendy.

My eyes flashed, and it seemed to be an orchid.

"Oh, I'm from Dragon City." I'm not lying, I'm just skimming the years. The country is vast, and I don't think Xu Yinyin will be proficient in geography, so just give her a place name.

Sure enough, Xu Yinyin nodded: "Dragon City, I haven't been there." She smiled, and a touch of loneliness appeared on her beautiful face, "However, I have a younger brother who likes to play around, and the next time I write to him, I will ask him if he has been to Miss Ning's hometown." ”

Brother? I moved my eyebrows and subconsciously asked, "Who is your brother?" ”

Xu Yinyin's smile became warmer: "Mingzhi, my brother's name is Xu Mingzhi." ”

What the! I can't believe my ears, Mingzhi, isn't it the person Cao Shuhui is looking for, and so on. I quickly stood up and walked over to Xu Yinyin to take a closer look.

Like, it's too similar, if the powder on her face is rubbed a little more, whiter, and the solid color is more bright red, this Xu Yinyin is exactly the same as the woman in the big red robe on the ceiling!

What the hell is this--I smacked my tongue, and I didn't know how to react for a moment.

Xu Yinyin was stared at by me uncomfortably, reached out and moved her hair and cheongsam a few times, and asked me strangely, "What's wrong?" Am I wrong? The beauty cared about her appearance, and she immediately walked to the dresser in the room and carefully sorted out her appearance.

I opened my mouth to ask her, "Miss Xu, where is your brother?" "I always feel that Cao Shuhui, Xu Yinyin, Xu Mingzhi, there is an important connection between these three people, maybe I can go back if I find this connection.

Xu Yinyin put on the earrings again, and then turned her head: "Mingzhi, he went out to study in other provinces, the last correspondence was half a month ago, and now-" She smiled dotingly, "Maybe it's a different place again, this kid can't be idle, and he loves to run around." ”

"Can you tell me his exact location, or contact information?"

Xu Yinyin became suspicious, frowned and asked, "Why?" Her Danfeng eyes were already sharp, and looking at me straight like this made me feel inexplicably weak.

Suppressing my heart a little, I calmed down and said, "That's the case, I ...... I like to play, and I finally met someone with the same interests, so I wanted to ...... Find out more. ”

Xu Yinyin's expression soothed a lot, and she laughed briskly: "With all due respect, Miss Ning is a step late, my younger brother Mingzhi has someone he likes, last time I praised Miss Cao in the letter as if there was nothing in heaven and earth, and I, who is a sister, will be jealous." ”

"You're mistaken, that's not what I meant—" Wait, Miss Cao?

I whispered, "Your brother...... Is Miss Cao's full name Cao Shuhui? "It can't be such a coincidence, it seems that something has been arranged in the dark. (To be continued.) )
