Chapter Ninety-Nine: Knocking on the chess pieces and falling the lanterns
The two of them listened to Xiao Er's words, and when they heard the name Yun Rong, they both froze for a moment, and glanced at each other, is this the Yun Rong they are looking for?
Han Jingxuan frowned, looked at Xiao Er and asked, "You said Yunrong?" ”
"Yes, it's Yun Rong, he is the only one in our town named Yun Rong, what's the matter, is it possible that the two of us know each other?" Xiao Er had doubts in his heart, looked at Han Jingxuan, and glanced at the swallow twice.
It seems that these two people are not too old, but they regard the two of them as brothers and sisters.
Yanzi shook his head: "I don't know, you said that this Yunrong's daughter became a demon girl?" What's going on? And what's going on with this kid? ”
The two of them were confused, Yongquan Town seemed to be more powerful than Jinhua Town and the capital, Han Jingxuan remembered what happened before, could it be that Yongquan Town is the central location? Who is secretly tossing things around, what is the purpose of stealing so many children?
Xiao Er then began to say: "This Yunrong's daughter Yunxi, this year is fourteen, from the year she was born, the town has been restless one after another, she was born to death her mother, and then her father was sick in the second year, and this girl is very strange, she doesn't talk to the people around her, only talks to small animals, and her eyes are born with different colors, you say, if this is not a demon girl, what is it!" ”
Yanzi listened to Xiao Er's words, but he was interested, he had seen people with different pupils in books before, but they were all legends that this person with different colored pupils was a big hero in the world, a talent, Xiang Yu, Li Yu and Nakuraji.
However, this abnormal pupil is actually a manifestation of early cataracts, which has become a demon girl in the town's population.
After a while, I saw Xiao Er say to the two of them again: "There is also this time, in the mountains behind the courtyard of the Yun family, many ghosts have also begun to appear, and at night you can still hear the cry of children in the middle of the night, it must be this demon girl who is doing evil, and now the town is already discussing how to get rid of this demon girl!" If it weren't for the fact that her father Yunrong had helped many people in the town, this demon girl would not have stayed in our Yongquan Town! ”
After the meal was served, Xiao Er left with a familiar acquaintance, and told the two of them to be careful when they went out, if there was nothing important to come to Yongquan Town, just leave quickly, if you run into this demon girl, your life will be gone!
Yanzi and Han Jingxuan were even more curious when they heard Xiao Er's words, and when they came, they didn't hear the cook say that this Yunrong had a daughter, nor did they hear that her daughter was still called a demon girl.
"Do you think the Nine Ghosts are hiding a lot of children here!" Han Jingxuan took a bite of tofu, and when he swallowed it, he felt too unpalatable, it tasted like chewing wax.
"You said that Jinhua Town still has the matter of losing children in the capital?" Swallow asked softly.
Han Jingxuan, who was sitting opposite, nodded, took a piece of Wowotou and barely ate two bites. Look left and right at your surroundings.
"Yes, it is definitely impossible to say that Yunxi is a demon girl, and a demon girl? Do you believe it? I suspect that someone is secretly doing something behind Yun Xi's back, the mountain behind the Yun family is probably their nest, and he said that there was a master in Yongquan Town before, and this matter is likely to have something to do with him. Han Jingxuan frowned and whispered.
Yanzi sighed, put down his chopsticks and said: "Then take a look, we are here, we have to see what is going on, and this Yunrong is our God of Wealth, whether the dishes of Xinghualou can be done well in the future, whether we can make money, but it depends on him." ”
After eating some cushions for their stomachs, the two of them went upstairs and went back to their rooms.
The pouring rain fell from the sky, and did not stop until the evening, during this time, the number of passers-by can be counted, and the two of them did not go out in the house in the afternoon, so they simply asked the innkeeper to come to the five-in-a-row chess, and play chess here.
"Do you think it will rain overnight?" The swallow put down the white chess piece in his hand, turned his head to look at the heavy rain, and the wind blew through the window, which was really cool.
On the chessboard, white and black chess were competing against each other, Han Jingxuan lowered his head and was thinking about what his next move would be, and he didn't hear Yanzi speak at all.
After a while, Han Jingxuan dropped the black chess piece and snorted coldly: "Let's play, we are okay anyway, we will be reimbursed by the boss lady for eating, drinking and living!" What are you afraid of! ”
The swallow grinned and pulled out an awkward smile, tilted her head and turned her head, moving her neck to make a clicking sound.
In the afternoon, the two of them didn't know how many rounds they came, and they didn't care about winning or losing for a long time, just to pass the time, and wanted to wait for the rain to stop and come out for a walk.
It may have been because of the rain, but it got dark after a while, and the lantern in front of the inn lit up to illuminate the entire dim street.
In the middle of the night, the two of them couldn't sleep at night, and they were still playing backgammon mentally.
The oil lamp on the table fluttered back and forth, and the red light reflected the shadows of the two on the wall, and the swallow was bored, sitting on one side, holding a chess piece and knocking on the lamp. Drops of wax fell down the candle and condensed into a white flower on top of the lampstand.
"Knocking on the chess pieces and falling the lanterns, I can be regarded as feeling what it is like to be ancient, it's really boring!" The swallow leaned on the table and shouted.
At this time, Yanzi's mind was full of mobile phones, computers, and networks, and crayfish that could be eaten from time to time at that time, it was not too cool, and after coming here for so long, I really didn't even see crayfish.
Han Jingxuan leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
The sound of horses' hooves came from outside.
"Anyone?" Han Jingxuan opened his eyes violently, turned his head to look at the swallow, got up and quickly lay down by the window.
Horse-drawn carriages galloped through the town in unison, and large boxes were placed behind them, so black that it was impossible to tell what was inside.
The swallow also came, poking his head out to see the carriage coming below.
"How come there are so many carriages in the middle of the night? Loading and unloading? Impossible! The swallow covered the raindrops overhead with one hand, and propped up the window railing with the other hand to look out.
I saw Han Jingxuan frowning, pulling the swallow and hurriedly going out and downstairs, and took away the two coats hanging on the wall of the room by the way.
"Do you remember that Xiao Er said that he often heard the sound of horses' hooves and the crying of children in the middle of the night?" Han Jingxuan whispered to Yanzi.
In the middle of the night, there was no one in the inn, only a little two were left at the counter, and he was napping on the table at this time, not noticing the two people who were going downstairs.
Yanzi's face was solemn, and he remembered the carriages that had passed just now, and he suddenly understood what Han Jingxuan meant.
"You mean the carriage is filled with stolen children?" The swallow muttered subconsciously.
