The embers of fireworks fill the streets.

Although it was late at night, there were still three or two tables of guests on the first floor of Jinlong Inn who were still chatting while eating melon seeds.

At the request of the guests, in order to set off the festive atmosphere, at night, there are no lights everywhere, and only a few lanterns are hung in a few corners, including the aisles and staircase handrails.

The flickering lanterns are emitting a faint light through the layers of colorful tissue paper, rendering the quiet first floor particularly romantic, like a sweet dream.

Ah Xiang just finished chatting with a few guests, then walked to the counter and glanced through the list of tenants.

"Hey, it looks like we're going to have to stay up late tonight!"

As if in the midst of suffering, sighing softly, Ah Xiang walked to the gate with loose steps, stood behind the threshold, and looked up at the sky.

Although the noise is much quieter than before, there is still an atmosphere of fire trees and silver flowers that never sleep, and you can vaguely hear the sound of copper drums singing from the sky, one after another.

Before he knew it, the sleepy insect crawled into his ears, closed his eyes, and stumbled, and he couldn't help but hide his lips and yawn.

Open your eyes again, "Miss Garland! Aunt Wang! ”

The two of them supported each other and went straight to the door, looking down inexplicably.

"What are you doing? Why did you come back so late? Ah Xiang asked with concern.

The two of them had to stop.

Jian Jialan buried her head and looked like she was not giving up, and Aunt Wang subconsciously raised her eyes, just about to say something to Ah Xiang......

As soon as Ah Xiang saw Sister Jialan, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh yes! You've heard about it, right? Jia Yuhuan fell downstairs on the night of his wedding!!! ”

Hearing this, Jian Jialan's two hands trembled with fright, Ah Xiang's eyes were sharp, supporting his waist, and his inquiring eyes began to wander on Jialan's sister's body, thinking that she didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help but emphasize again: "On the night of Shangyuan, when the big wedding, Jia Yuhuan fell from the building!" What's wrong? Is that your reaction? This is news that shocked Meihai! ”

Aunt Wang hurriedly hid Jian Jialan's hand to her side and held it tightly, and said to Ah Xiang at the same time: "Well, I heard, it was because of this incident that I came back early......

Ah Xiang saw something, secretly pointed to Sister Jialan, glanced at Aunt Wang, and whispered: "Then, she?" ”

"Oh, after hearing the news, Miss Jialan had to go around outside Jiafu, she just went around, and after listening to some rumors, the whole person was a little scared......" Aunt Wang explained in a flat tone, "In the end, it's the girl's house, it's a big night, and she's timid." ”

Looking at the look of this Jialan girl, it seems that she was really frightened. Ah Xiang didn't dare to say anything more, just oh twice.

Aunt Wang was busy explaining again: "Then the old body accompanied Miss Jialan back to the room first?" ”

Ah Xiang Mumu nodded, and then watched the two of them turn upstairs, for some reason, the whole person was a little absent-minded.

At this time, Jian Jialan suddenly ran back and asked, "Is the white girl back?" ”

The tone was a little timid, and the voice sounded a little muffled.

"Oh! White girl! Not yet! Ah Xiang reacted for a long time, looked outside the door, and said with a smile: "At this time, I guess I am still dating her friend!" ”

Jian Jialan stared at Ah Xiang in a daze, and the next moment, she was pulled away by Aunt Wang, "That, Miss Jialan, let's go upstairs quickly!" Didn't you say on the way that you had something to do after returning to the inn? ”

Knowing that Bai Bait had not returned to the inn, at that moment, Jian Jialan's heart was full of uneasiness.

Ah Xiang stood there alone, and suddenly had a question in his heart, he didn't see that the two of them went out together, why did they come back together?

Aunt Wang's room.

"If you're afraid, sleep with your old body tonight!" Aunt Wang glanced at Miss Jialan, and walked slowly over with a candle in her hand.

"I didn't want to kill her, I really didn't want to kill her!" Jian Jialan sat there and shook her head, "I really don't have ......"

Aunt Wang tightened her expression, carefully put down the lamp, and then sat opposite her, and comforted: "Miss Jialan, didn't the old body tell you......"

I don't know what I thought of again, Jian Jialan suddenly grabbed Aunt Wang's hand and looked at her with panic in her eyes, "Aunt Wang, should we be -"

Aunt Wang pursed the corners of her mouth, combed her sideburns, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, no, tonight, no one will know what happened on the Ruyi Stage, just treat it as if you have never been to the Ruyi Stage." Now what you have to do is to keep your usual appearance, ask about the secrets when you should ask, and laugh when you should laugh. ”

"But, but—"

Seeing that she was messed up again, Aunt Wang suddenly looked uneasy, and said in a slightly warning tone: "The way you look now, murderer, the four characters, are written on your face, even if you didn't kill people, disasters will automatically be haunted!" You know, the more you are afraid of something, the easier it is for things to happen! ”

Jian Jialan was silent, kept a calm face, and tried her best to hide her emotions.

Aunt Wang instructed again: "Also, these days, you stay in this inn, you are not allowed to go anywhere, if you can avoid it, try to avoid it!" ”

Seeing that Miss Jialan suddenly looked at herself, her lips opened slightly, her face immediately sank, and she advised: "The old body knows what you want to say, but the old body still says the same thing, don't ask about Han Shiqing's news again, it will kill you!" ”

Shocked by that solemn look, Jian Jialan didn't dare to look at Aunt Wang again, but just clenched her palms, looking preoccupied.

After a while, Jian Jialan said that she wanted to go back to her room, but she was actually going downstairs to inquire about the news of Bai Bait.

It's just that, halfway through, she saw a person suddenly enter the inn, and she immediately held on to the handrail of the stairs, and was about to turn around and return -

I just called Miss Jialan over there, and when I raised my eyes, Lord Yan actually came, and Ah Xiang hurriedly greeted her, "Lord Yan is on the Yuan Ankang!" I don't know what Lord Yan came here late at night for? ”

Fang entered the inn, Yan Beilou stood slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the middle of the stairs, "Miss Jialan and Aunt Wang, it's so late, do you want to go out?" 90 Literature Network

As soon as she heard this, Jian Jialan's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked behind her, and a trace of consternation flashed in her eyes!

Aunt Wang stood beside Miss Jialan and saluted calmly: "Lord Yan, Shangyuan is healthy." ”

Jian Jialan immediately followed suit.

Yanbei people nodded simply.

Aunt Wang said again: "Seeing that Miss Bai's room was still empty, the old body and Miss Jialan were not at ease, so they went downstairs to inquire about the situation." ”

Yan Beilou hesitated for a moment, then asked with a tight expression: "So Miss Bai is not in the room at this time?!" ”

Ah Xiang answered: "No! I went out in the morning and haven't come back until now! I guess it's still there—"

Yan Beilou immediately turned around and rushed out of the inn.

When I arrived at Wanhualin, it was already the middle of the night.

Running all the way, stopping from time to time to pay attention to whether there was any trace of her around, when he returned to the place where the incident occurred, he was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

She sat down where she had been, clutching the bloodied body in her arms, motionless, just as he had left it.

"White Girl!" He rushed over, trying to release the body from her grasp.

She suddenly screamed, "Don't touch him! ”

The voice is very hoarse.

Yan Beilou helped the horizontal knife on his waist, stood up with his body, and said in a magnetic voice: "The murderer has been punished, and the white girl should be relieved." ”

After a long time, seeing that she was still silent, he said: "The result cannot be changed, and what we can do is to explore the source of this result." Why did the white girl come to this forest of thousands of flowers on the night of Shangyuan? Why did this killer from the gods stab you? ”

She couldn't see a little light in her eyes, her lips opened slightly, and she said coldly: "Go!" ”

"White Maiden—"

"Let's go—"

Looking at her body trembling with excitement, Yan Beilou's heart sank, and she had to turn around and leave.

Before leaving, he stopped again, "White girl, go back early, don't let your friends at the Jinlong Inn worry." ”

As soon as the forest wind blows, everything returns to tranquility.

While she was confused, a familiar voice suddenly sounded nearby.

"Meet my brother! Where are you? ”

"Fifth brother—"

After looking for a long time and not seeing others, Xiao Dou Sprouts was a little angry: "It's so late, why don't you go home yet!" ”

"Brother Xiang told us that we are not allowed to go out......" Little Lotus began to be a little scared, "I think, let's go back, if Brother Xiang knows that we don't listen to him, he will definitely lose his temper......"

"Could it be, when I met my brother and Sister Bai, I put the lanterns and forgot the time...... "Xiaoyanzi was also a little scared, "Let's go back, the big ears and the little sweet potato are at home, I don't worry." ”

"The lanterns in the sky were gone an hour ago!" The second child looked worried, "And the eldest brother won't leave us without saying a word and won't come back, he said before he went out, let us wait for him to come back, he won't lie to us." ”

Little Bean Sprouts said aggrievedly: "If he dares to lie to us, I will ignore him again!" Hum! ”

"But where is my brother?" The little swallow really can't walk anymore.

Just when everyone was helpless, Little Lotus's eyes lit up: "I saw Sister Xiao'er!" There she is! Look! ”

Everyone looked in the direction of the little lotus's fingers, and was immediately ecstatic, spreading their legs and running over, "Sister Bai-"

"Little lotus, second ......"

Her expression trembled, and her mouth was half open.

Looking at the suddenly stopped footsteps of several children, as well as the quietly changing expressions, she was speechless for a moment, "Little ......"

"Meet my brother." Several children looked at the scene in front of them and panicked.

Before they could pounce forward, tears had already wet their eyes, and they screamed and shook one by one, but they couldn't wake up their brother who met them.

"Sister Xiao'er, second brother, fifth brother has a lot of blood on his body, he is injured, let's take him to the doctor, hurry up!" Little Lotus looked at the second brother and Sister Xiaoer with tears in her eyes.

And Xiaoyanzi held back her tears, grabbed her brother's hand, and silently used her sleeve to wipe off the blood for him, which was the new clothes she had just changed into this morning.

Seeing that the second brother and Sister Bai did not react, Xiao Douya turned around angrily, "I'll go find a doctor!" ”

The second child was expressionless, and shouted: "Don't go!" ”

"Second brother, what are you doing!" Little Bean Sprouts turned around, her face was already flushed, and she couldn't help but scream, full of reproach.

The second child stared at the corpse and said coldly: "He's dead." ”
