Chapter Twenty-Three: Pretending to Be a Ghost
After eating, the guys from the restaurant ran tremblingly to clean up the mess. The news of the appearance of a human bone soup pot in this shop has spread all over the city, and in the dark, this small two-story wooden building is naturally particularly eerie in the eyes of outsiders.
In the hall on the first floor, a few candles are lit and glow faintly. Yesheng pulled Fangsheng upstairs early, Yu Shizhao picked and chosen, lived next door to Liansheng, and ordered Qianer to boil hot water.
The kitchen has been sealed by Ma Zhutou, and Na Qianer listened to Yu Shizhao's call, and directly fetched a bucket of water from the backyard, stuck his hand in it, and held his breath, and after a while, the water in the bucket was bubbling and bubbling. Lian Sheng looked very strange, grabbed Qianji's hand, and almost put his eyes on it to look closely. Qian'er panicked, didn't dare to move, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.
"Does it really get hot? It's amazing! I thought this was a bridge in a martial arts novel. Liansheng grabbed Qianji's hand and didn't let go.
"What are you guys doing!"
Yu Shizhao was coming down from upstairs: "Qianer! What's going on. ”
Qianji was so frightened that he hurriedly broke free of his hand.
Yu Shizhao's figure drifted, and he appeared in front of Liansheng very quickly: "Gu Liansheng, what are you doing with him?" ”
"He's so powerful, he actually used internal force to boil the water."
"Really?" Yu Shizhao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is that so?" As he spoke, he held his breath as the heat of the water gradually dissipated, and after a while a thin layer of ice formed on the surface!
Amazing! Liansheng was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Yu Shizhao smiled proudly, turned around and went upstairs: "Qianer, quickly bring up the hot water." ”
Qianer glanced at the frozen water, and then looked at Liansheng, shook his head helplessly, and went upstairs with a bucket.
These two are really boring.
After a while, Qianji went downstairs, carefully closed the front and back doors, and then put together a few tables and lay down on them, it seemed that he was going to keep vigil.
As soon as Liansheng was about to go upstairs, he heard Na Qianer say, "Take the candle away, it's too bright to sleep." ”
It's really hard to serve. Liansheng muttered in his heart, but still took the candle and left. Looking at the dark stairs when going upstairs, Liansheng understood Qianer's kindness, looked back, Qianji was looking up, saw Liansheng turning around, and pretended to be casual and turned his face away.
Liansheng returned to the room with a candle, only to see half a bucket of hot water at the door. The door of Yu Shizhao's room next door was closed, and there was no light at all.
Liansheng put the candle away and laboriously brought the water in. After washing, she carefully inspected the room where she lived, and the bedding on the bed was the same, and there was also a copper basin and a night pot under the bed. Because it was the end of summer, the window was hung up and two layers of green curtains were pasted, and Liansheng felt very uncomfortable looking at the dark outside through the window screen, so he stepped forward and put the window down, so he could lie down in bed and sleep with peace of mind.
I don't know how long it took, and I heard someone singing in a daze, and the tactful female voice said: "Ask what the world is like, only teach people to live and die......"
Liansheng woke up in a daze, opened his eyes, and saw the green light suddenly rising from the window facing him, and Liansheng was frightened.
"Ahh
"Hell!"
There was a scream outside.
Liansheng hurriedly lifted the quilt and opened the door, but was pushed into the room by a pair of hands, and Yu Shizhongzhao's voice was in his ears: "Stay in the room, don't move." ”
The hallway was pitch black. There was a light in Fang Sheng's room, and it seemed that he had found a fire sickle and lit a candle.
"Hell, ghost, there's a ghost outside the window!" The door to Fangsheng's room opened, and Yesheng ran out with a crawl. The lights downstairs were bright, Qianer lit all the candles, Yu Shizhao pushed Liansheng into the room and jumped directly from the window of his room, Qianer had already searched the inn left and right, and found nothing.
Liansheng also calmed down at this moment, and Qian'er went upstairs with a lantern and asked, "What do you see?" ”
"Green light, green light outside the window!" Yesheng pointed to the window.
The other four scholars also opened the door and came out, and two of them also nodded in horror.
Yu Shizhao flew directly to the second floor again, "It's quiet outside, there was indeed singing just now"
"There's a green glow from my window, too."
"What's that green light?" Yu Shizhao pushed open the door of Liansheng's room, and there was a faint girl's fragrance in the room. Qian'er was just about to come in, and Yu Shizhao said, "You are outside the door." ”
At this moment, there were a few green lights on Liansheng's window, and Liansheng suddenly realized: "It's a firefly!" ”
She walked into the window with a candle, and sure enough, there were a few fireflies between the double curtain and the window. In order to prevent mosquitoes, the green window screen is double-layered, Liansheng felt that it was a little scary to see the outside before going to bed and closed the outer window, she held the candle to look at the window screen carefully, and when she looked up, it hit Yu Shizhao's chin, Yu Shizhao sighed, and Qianer hurriedly asked: "My lord!" How is it? Yu Shizhao snorted coldly in his nose, and Liansheng said in surprise: "I understand!" ”
"What?"
Qianer and a few scholars rushed in, Yu Shizhao was very dissatisfied, but seeing that those scholars were so frightened that they were about to pee their pants, and if they didn't solve the mystery, it was estimated that they couldn't sleep well, so they only glanced sideways, and their faces were full of displeasure.
"Sister, what's going on? How do you know it's a firefly, I also saw that there was nothing else in the window screen in the room. Only this one! Fang Sheng spread out his hand, and the palm of his hand was a few snail shells.
"That's right, who of you else sees the green light of the curtain?"
"Me!"
"Me!" Wei Xiucai and Qin Xiucai raised their hands.
"If you look at the window screen in your room now, you're sure to find a snail shell too."
"Why is that?" Everyone doesn't understand.
Liansheng first opened the window screen, and then pushed open the window outside, the fireflies are intermittently glowing, at this time it is no longer bright, the stars are dotted outside, the fireflies in the two layers of window screens, suddenly crawled out from the edge of the window screen, and then flew outside, Lian Sheng pointed to the edge of the window screen: "Look, there is an opening here, fireflies can fly out, I see that this window screen can penetrate the outside light, and it is very uncomfortable to sleep, so I closed the outer window, so the fireflies in the two layers of window screen could not climb out." And the fireflies in your room crawled through the cracks. ”
Liansheng said as he tore off a layer of window screens, and sure enough, several small snail shells fell out of it.
"What's going on? There are fireflies in the window screens, why didn't we notice them before? What does this snail shell mean? ”
Yesheng was infected by Liansheng's self-confidence, and he became a little bolder, and asked.
"The food of fireflies is pollen or snail meat, some fireflies will go to look for snails when they want to give birth, while eating snail meat while occupying the snail shell, laying eggs in it to reproduce, these flying away should be the fireflies that lay eggs in the snail shell, it is someone who is familiar with the temperament of this kind of fireflies, specially selected such fireflies and threw them into the window screen, and when the fireflies eat up the snail meat and lay eggs, it will appear when they crawl out at night."
"Ah, I see, you know a lot." Yu Shizhao nodded frequently, and his eyes looking at Liansheng were full of appreciation.
"Sister, you're so good, you know it." Fang Sheng gave a thumbs up, and Lian Sheng raised his little face proudly, "That's the third Dashun." ”
"Who are the first and second in the Great Shun Dynasty?" Yu Shizhao asked curiously.
"Well, the first and second smartest ones, because they are hidden too deeply, they haven't been discovered by my third."
"Haha." Everyone was amused by Liansheng's words, and suddenly Wei Xiucai shouted: "No, since this green light is man-made and not haunted, what is the matter with the singing." ”
"Yes, that singing, weird voice, it's scary." Everyone heard the singing, like a person biting his tongue, and the sound was very strange.
"You might as well think like this, since this green light is all artificial, then the song must be someone making trouble, right? Otherwise, how can it be so seamless? ”
Liansheng's rhetorical question, the talents heard it with some truth.
"Zi Bu is silent about God, you are all scholars, and those who have to participate in the autumn exam are the pillars of my Dashun in the future, how can you talk about ghosts and gods lightly, alarmist?" Yu Shizhao put on an official faction and directly suppressed it.
He has been in power for a long time, and as soon as the official faction is taken out, he can still scare people. Yesheng had seen him in the ancestral tomb of the Gu family, and knew that he was a figure he couldn't afford to provoke, so he hurriedly gently tugged on the sleeves of several Xiucai, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
"Sister, then I'll go to sleep too."
"Go, Yuyu...... Childe is here, and he will be safe. ”
Fang Sheng and Ye Sheng went back to the room, Yu Shizhao took the horse lamp in the dry hand and put it on the table, and then sat down: "You have confidence in me." ”
"I have confidence in Jinyiwei."
Standing at the door, Liansheng sat at the head of his bed and asked, "What did you find downstairs just now?" Is it possible that someone is singing downstairs? ”
"Absolutely impossible." Yu Shizhao looked at the wick of the horse lantern: "It is impossible to come and go with light skills." ”
"I was sleeping on the first floor, and when I heard the voice, I immediately rushed out, there was no one, and it was impossible to sing in the opposite building, the voice would not be so clear."
"That's strange, your martial arts should be the first in Dashun." Under the light, Liansheng's face was extremely soft and lovely, his eyes flickered, Yu Shizhao looked up and saw it, only to feel that his heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.
"Almost, the Dashun Dynasty should not have been born yet if he can be stronger than our Jinyi Guard."
Qianer replied with a serious face.
Liansheng Fu Forehead: Sure enough, whoever leads what soldiers is arrogant enough.
"Anyway, someone is pretending to be a ghost, and those four talents can't be underestimated, maybe the murderer is among those four people." Liansheng felt that all four of them were suspicious.
Yu Shizhao stretched his waist: "Forget it, go to sleep, no matter who pretends to be a ghost, once I catch him, Lao Tzu will definitely break his neck and tell him to be a real ghost." ”
Yu Shizhao and Qian'er also went back to sleep, and Liansheng lay on the bed, looking at the flickering candlelight on the table, thinking: What is the purpose of the person hiding in the shadows pretending to be a ghost? You can't just scare us, because we all have no grievances, but we just gathered here by chance.
Yes, everyone gathered at this inn by chance!
Everyone came by chance, but what about this inn? Did the man come for the inn? But what about Li Xiucai? First he was gone, his ring and bones were found in the pot, wasn't it by chance that he appeared in this inn?
