Chapter 179: A ghost in the Red Attic

Xia Xue and the three of them did not ride horses today, and walked for more than an hour before passing through the entire Qingyuan County, and finally found the home of the county lieutenant Shao Wen in the north of the city in the evening.

Shao Wen's home consisted of a small courtyard and three dilapidated tiled houses, the courtyard and the door were hidden and unlocked. The room was dark and dimly lit. After entering the house, I saw Shao Wen, the county lieutenant, lying on the bed in the bedroom on the left side. The bedroom door was open, the bedroom was dimly lit, and a pair of crutches were placed in front of the bed.

Shao Wen is about forty years old, with a slightly dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thin face, and a righteous face. But the two eyes are deeply sunken and look a little haggard. His left leg was secured with a wooden splint, and he lay on the bed with a depressed expression.

Seeing someone come in, he struggled to brace himself up and sit up.

Ouyang Yong hurriedly ran over and helped him sit down.

County Lieutenant Shao Wen stared at Xia Xue and the three of them suspiciously and vigilantly, and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Xia Xue hurriedly saluted Shao Wen, "We have nothing to do, we just respect Shao County Lieutenant is a man, come to visit you." After speaking, let Ouyang Qian put the fruits, supplements and other gifts she bought on the road on the small table in front of Shao Wen's bed.

Shao Wenleng paused for a moment, and his face softened a little, "May I ask who you are?" It doesn't seem to be a native to the accent. ”

Ouyang Yong replied urgently: "Lieutenant Shao guessed well, the three of us are indeed not locals, we are from Minzhou, Kyoto. ”

Shao Wen's face was overjoyed: "Then you must have been sent by the queen to investigate the corruption of the Qingyuan County Mansion, right?" ”

For this upright Shao County Lieutenant, Xia Xue no longer concealed it, "Shao County Lieutenant, I don't hide it, my surname is Li, and I am the minister sent by the queen, and it is indeed the corruption problem of the secret visit to Qingyuan County, as well as the real cause of death of the former county commander Yang Dao." ”

As soon as Shao Wen heard that it was the minister of the imperial court, he was about to struggle to get out of bed and salute Xia Xue, but Xia Xue hurriedly stopped, "You have an injury on your leg, don't be polite." Shao County Lieutenant got out of the sludge without staining, asked for his life for the people, and was retaliated by the bad guys, we will definitely seek justice for you this time, you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Shao Wen was very excited, and his face was full of joy: "Thank you, Master Li, great, the people of Qingyuan County have been saved!" ”

Xia Xue told Shao Wen that the death of the former county commander Yang Dao was a little strange, and she suspected that it was not a heart attack that died, but someone who poisoned her. She also said that after taking a turn in Qingyuan County, she found that Chai Gui, the shopkeeper of "Baicaotang", looked suspicious, but she didn't have a handle, and hoped that Shao Wen would be able to help her solve the case in the future.

Shao Wen nodded and said that he would definitely give his full assistance.

Xia Xue saw that it was not early, so she said goodbye to Shao Wen, saying that after catching the bully Lei Zhentian, she would definitely come to see him again. Shao Wen struggled to get out of bed, took Xia Xue and the three of them to the gate of the courtyard with a cane, and bowed deeply to Xia Xue, his eyes full of anticipation.

After returning to the red attic of the Haotai Inn, it was already dark at night. Xia Xue was in a heavy mood, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, thinking about what she was going to do tomorrow.

The evening breeze gradually rose, the trees swayed outside the window, and there was a "salsa" sound.

The moonlight was dark, and there were some leaves swaying in their reflections, and from time to time the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and it was dark. Isn't this the common scene of many ghost movies?

Layers of clouds obscured the clear glow of the bright moon, making the red attic even darker, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers. The cries of snakes, insects, and pigs around them, and the dark and eerie atmosphere, give people an eerie horror.

At this time, a gust of yin wind hit, it seemed extremely infiltrating, Xia Xue heard a strange sound, she couldn't help but think of the words that Liu Shi, the Oiran lady of Meixian Le Yuan, said that this red attic was a murderous house, haunted, and had died inexplicably, and she couldn't help but tighten it suddenly.

The whole house was silent. Xia Xue's heart was pounding, and she could almost hear its violent throbbing.

An indescribable feeling of horror rushed over her mind and limbs, not like an electric shock, but as sharp, as weird, as terrifying, as terrifying. It worked on her senses, as if they had been in a state of numbness in their most active moments before. And now they've been summoned, they've been woken up. They rise, fear rushing to their brains, scalps and faces hissing and tingling, and muscles trembling against their bones.

In the darkness, two vague ghosts appeared at the door of the bedroom in the red attic, slowly drifting towards the bed where she was lying.

Xia Xue's nervous palms were full of sweat, a trace of moonlight penetrated into the bedroom through the clouds, Xia Xue saw the vague image of these two ghosts, it didn't matter if she looked at it, Xia Xue only felt that her scalp was numb, her back was cold, her hairs stood on end, she was a cold shiver, and her whole body was instantly soaked in cold sweat, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed.

I saw a demon in front of me, dressed in black, with white eyes and bulging out, spitting out an old blood-red tongue, and holding a noose in his hand. Behind him was a demon, cloaked in hair, with a bloody face covered in scabs, with a hideous face, dressed in white, and holding a bloody short knife in his hand.

The wind gusted, and the two evil ghosts floated silently towards Xia Xue's bed.

Life and death are in an instant, Xia Xue is not a genius girl in the future era, she is not scared like ordinary women to cover her head with a quilt, or shrink to the corner of the bed and feel soft, although she can't stop trembling, but her smart brain is not scared by fear to short-circuit, the heart is rushing, a genius doctor from the future, with a very high scientific literacy, she never believes in ghosts and gods, but this "realistic version" of the horror movie, still involuntarily makes Xia Xue instinctively nervous and afraid.

The threat of death made Xia Xue have a strong sense of instinctive resistance, and she decided to let go of all her fears and break the boat: "Whether it is a real ghost or a fake ghost, today this girl will let you taste my awesomeness, even if you die together, I will let you take off a layer of ghost skin!" ”

Xia Xue roared, suddenly jumped up from the bed, tried her best, and flew up like lightning, this kick was fast and fierce, and kicked at the neck of the "hanged ghost" who floated to the bed with a sharp sound of breaking the air. Listening to a terrible scream and the sound of a broken neck bone, the "hanged ghost" was kicked and flew out, and his long blood-red tongue was broken in two.

"The ghost screams!" Xia Xue already understood that these two evil ghosts were pretended to be people, and the fear in her heart disappeared, and at the moment when the stunned evil ghost behind her was flustered, a flying body jumped off the bed, grabbed the right wrist of the evil ghost with a knife with her left hand, and grabbed it a little, only to hear the sound of the wrist bone twisting and the sound of the evil ghost's screaming at the same time, before the scream was over, Xia Xue's right fist had hit the temples on the left side of the evil ghost with the sound of the wind, and with a "bang", the evil ghost with the knife fell to the ground and passed out. This time, thanks to Xia Xue's mercy, I just want to knock him out, otherwise it is estimated that this heavy blow will hit the weakest temple part of the human skull, if Xia Xue's "Tiger Show Fist" is not merciless, this evil ghost would have died a long time ago.

Xia Xue walked over and looked at the "hanged ghost", and found that he had broken his neck, and he had long been out of breath.

At this time, Xia Xue heard another strange sound outside the window, it seemed that there were accomplices, she reflexively pulled out the Tang knife placed at the end of the bed, and quietly touched the outside of the window of the red attic, but when she got outside, she searched around, but there was no figure. She turned around for a long time, but found no new clues, so she had to turn back to the red attic, ready to interrogate the demon who had been knocked unconscious.

After entering the bedroom of the red attic, Xia Xue lit the candle on the table, walked to the fainted ghost, kicked it with her foot, and found that there was no movement, she was shocked to find that the ghost was sticking a dart into the back of the window, and hurriedly put her finger in front of the ghost's nostrils, and found that she was no longer breathing.

"Kill people!" Xia Xue's heart sank, it seems that the enemy has discovered herself, she can't delay it any longer, she must take down Lei Zhentian as soon as possible tomorrow, otherwise she doesn't know what conspiracy is coming one after another.
