Chapter 236: Guessed Murder
Ge Xin kissed Zilin's beautiful face, then gently got out of bed and served. Before he brought Zilin here yesterday, he had already found someone to clean up this place, and the food had already been bought, just a maid, he wanted to wait for him to bring Zilin with him next time, so that he could be a companion for her. After cleaning up a little, he looked back at Zilin who was still asleep again, and couldn't help but turn around and jump, he couldn't wake her up at this time, or he wouldn't be able to leave.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Zilin woke up, she stretched comfortably, her eyes had not yet opened, she shouted Zhuge Xin, did not see an answer, she opened her eyes and turned her head to see, there was no one on the bed, she rubbed up from the bed, white as milk-like body only wearing a lotus-colored belly pocket, walking slender jade legs, slowly walked to the window, lotus-like arms gently pushed the window forward, a burst of fresh air came to the nose, probably the reason for the rain the night before, In the distance, there is oily green and golden yellow, and the smell is also the fragrance of flowers.
When she found that the carriage parked in the yard was gone, her face changed, and she almost cried, and she didn't care if others would see her almost naked, with her long hair scattered, and rushed downstairs barefoot, the yard was quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
There was no one in the courtyard, and there was no man who had slept with her last night, so she sat down on the stairs and cried sadly.
Tired of crying, Zilin returned to the room. found that there were silver and notes left by Zhuge Xin for herself on the table, she picked it up and looked at it, and it said that he would come to see her the day after tomorrow. She threw the note casually, then quickly got dressed, packed everything, and took the silver that Zhuge Xin left her. She didn't want to be alone in this big courtyard, a young heart couldn't be imprisoned in a cage.
Zilin strolled out of the door, and looked back at this new home, because he came to the place when it was almost dark yesterday, and he didn't pay attention, and now when he looks at it, he actually feels that it is not as unbearable as he imagined, and it is even a little magnificent. She smiled and felt that Zhuge Xin was still good to herself.
She walked leisurely along the field path, greeting the children who were playing by the roadside, and when the children saw that she had come out of the haunted building, they all scattered in a hurry, and no one paid any attention to her, she thought it was very strange, and when she walked to the main road, she did not know where the way into the city was, so she had to ask a middle-aged woman who was working in the fields beside her.
The woman looked at her in fear. Without speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Zilin has no mother since she was a child, and she has always grown up with her father in the troupe, and she is surrounded by big men, so her personality is also a little boyish, seeing this woman and the children before, she reacted. It was strange to stop the woman first.
The woman saw Zilin stop herself, and said timidly, "You... What do you want to do in the middle of the day? ”
Zilin was even more strange when she heard this, and asked, "What do I want to do?" I'm just asking. ”
When the woman heard this, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Listening to what you say, I am still thinking that in the middle of the day, I will not be so unlucky that I will see a ghost." ”
Zilin listened. After thinking about the reaction of those children just now, he asked, "I don't really understand what you mean, auntie, what do you mean by encountering a ghost?" Do you see me like a ghost? ”
The woman was a little embarrassed and looked at the building not far away. looked at Zilin with a ruddy face in front of him, and said, "Girl, I seemed to see you coming out of that building just now." ”
Zilin nodded and said, "Yes, that's the new house that my father-in-law bought for me, and I only moved in last night." When she thought of Zhuge Xin, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart, although Zhuge Xin hadn't really given her a name, but she knew that he would.
Seeing Zilin's happy face, the woman said that this was her new home, and the woman shook her head again and again, and said, "Girl, this house is unlivable, this house is haunted." ”
When Zilin heard this, he was happy and said, "Auntie, who did you listen to?" This mansion is obviously still a new land, how can anyone die? ”
Seeing that Zilin was young and looked indifferent, the woman pretended to be mysterious and said: "Really, this mansion used to be inhabited, but then the hostess in this house was strangled to death by a ghost, and no one dared to live here after that." ”
Zilin was actually not afraid, but just curious, seeing the woman say this, she became interested, she used to listen to other senior brothers tell ghost stories in the troupe, and knew that these were all made up or
, I didn't take it seriously, so I said, "How do you know that the mistress is?" ”
Seeing that Zilin seemed to be very interested, the woman was very satisfied with this feeling of being noticed, so she pulled Zilin to a stone step and sat down, and then said, "That hostess is a great beauty, and your appearance is comparable to that of the girl." I have seen the land, her husband's family is very rich, so she put a house here, and then she died, when she died she was alone at home, her father-in-law went out to run errands, when he came back, said that the doors and windows were closed very well, he couldn't get in, at that time I thought that his woman was stealing men at home, in a fit of anger, he called someone to smash the door, the door opened, and found that the woman had died inside, and then the official family after the inspection, said that there were pinch marks on the neck, but the doors and windows were clearly locked from the inside, The official concluded that this woman was strangled to death by a ghost! ”
After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to have palpitations and looked very nervous.
—
Zilin naturally didn't believe the words of this village woman, thinking that there was any ghost in this world, but she also nodded to it, stood up, and said thank you, just when a carriage came, she waved, and the carriage stopped, and the coachman saw that it was a young and beautiful woman hitchhiking, so Zilin got into the car, waved goodbye to the woman who was still stunned, and rode away in the carriage.
…
Two days later.
Meng Tianchu was still asleep, he was hurriedly woken up by Feiyan, he opened his eyes, waved his hand, then closed his eyes, and said vaguely: "I know that it is you, this little swallow, who is disturbing Young Master's good dreams, go away, and when I get up, I will play with you again, now I want to sleep." ”
Feiyan said loudly, "Something's wrong! Uncle Zhu Hao has already packed up and is waiting for you outside the door, you should hurry up. ”
Meng Tianchu was still sleepy, and listening to Feiyan's voice was as if it had come from a long distance, ethereal and ethereal.
Feiyan saw that Meng Tianchu still didn't react, so she had to use the old method in a hurry, she lifted Meng Tianchu's quilt, after all, it was early spring, Meng Tianchu had no quilt, and he didn't feel sleepy.
He sat up from the bed and was about to get angry with Feiyan when he heard Zhu Hao say at the door: "Young Master, Wang Zhutou and Miss Murong have already come." ”
He looked at Feiyan, Feiyan saw that he was very dazed, angry and funny, handed him the clothes, and said: "I heard Uncle Zhu say that someone died in the mansion of a rich family in the south of the city, you hurry up and get dressed, and I will fetch water for you to wash your face." With that, he opened the door and went out.
The place where the scene is located is called Sunxia Village, which is only three miles away from the county seat, and Meng Tianchu and they arrived soon by carriage. By the time they arrived, the county officials had already isolated the surroundings.
Meng Tianchu got out of the car and looked around. A servant stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Master, it was a child herding cattle who went to the intersection to ask a passer-by to report the case." We knocked on the door, but there was no one inside, so we broke down and found a woman dead upstairs, looking young. ”
Meng Tianchu looked around, there was indeed a small mansion not far away, but it was surrounded by farmland, so it looked a little uncoordinated. Or it's the secret pleasure that the rich have built for their beloved women.
The official brought the child herding cattle to Meng Tianchu's side.
The child was only six or seven years old, his clothes were very thin, he was quite well-behaved, the official tied the cow to graze under a tree, and the child looked at Meng Tianchu and was not afraid.
Meng Tianchu smiled and asked, "How do you know that there are dead people in this building?" ”
The child blinked and said, "I guessed." ”
Meng Tianchu and the people present were stunned, looking at the child's serious appearance, Meng Tianchu asked again: "Will you guess?" Okay, then guess what I'm thinking right now, big brother? ”
The child shook his head and honestly replied that he didn't know.
Meng Tianchu said: "Then how can you guess that there is a dead person in that house?" He thought the one in front of him was a prodigy.
The child put his dirty little hand in his mouth and bit it, and then looked at Meng Tianchu, and found that although the brother in front of him was well-dressed and good-looking, he didn't mean to kill him, he was bold and said: "My mother said, she said that this yard is haunted, and she doesn't let that sister live, but my sister doesn't listen." ”
