Chapter 264: Orchid's Cry
Cheng Xiaoxiao could hear the cry at this moment, and it stands to reason that other people should be able to hear it too. It's just that these people are doing what they do (ài) like nobody, and no one cares about anything else at all.
Even when Cheng Xiaoxiao, a woman dressed completely different from them, walked down the street, few people really noticed her.
Not everyone is like this, at the beginning, there were still some ill-intentioned men who looked Cheng Xiaoxiao up and down, but those eyes were only pointed, and soon they would be attracted by the orchid in their arms.
The charm of the old lady is no longer there?
Cheng Xiaoxiao was still a little worried about whether she was too ostentatious when she was watched by them, and wanted to say that she would have known that she would learn from Chu Yunshen and them in disguise before going out to hang out, even if she didn't change her appearance, it was still okay to put on the dirty makeup that Huang Rong had when she first met Guo Jing.
But soon, Cheng Xiaoxiao's worries disappeared directly with the men and women turning a blind eye one after another, and was replaced by doubts and dissatisfaction in her head.
Didn't you say eighteen and one flowers? Why did she Cheng Xiaoxiao lose the market so soon?
Although her idea was a bit deformed, it was obvious that she stood out from the crowd, and there was no reason for these people to be so indifferent.
Regardless of whether it is beautiful or not, how can these people not even have curiosity!
Cheng Xiaoxiao expressed disbelief.
But if she is not convinced, she can only hold back, she can't drag these people to ask for an interview.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was puzzled, tried her best to get rid of these distracting thoughts of herself, and walked in the direction where the voice came from.
It's good that you don't pay attention to me, so that no one thinks I'm sneaky.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao really got closer and closer to the cry, she realized that this flower street seemed to have only two rows of orchid pavilions on the left and right, but in fact, it was hidden.
For example, Cheng Xiaoxiao is now walking further and further away, and she is almost at the end of Flower Street, and the cry is clearly not from the wall at the end. Cheng Xiaoxiao got closer, only to find that there was a path between the fence and the last house on the left.
If you don't deliberately look for this path, you can't find it at all, and this is what Cheng Xiaoxiao has gained by observing carefully, otherwise she will definitely go back home and suspect that she is hallucinating.
The houses at the end of Flower Street were all closed with the lights dimmed, Cheng Xiaoxiao walked to the house closest to the path and took a closer look, only to find that a notice was posted on the closed door, but it was written in Fanbang language, so she didn't recognize it.
is the red paper and black letters, coupled with the ghost-like lines of Fanbang dialect, and there is only the dim red candlelight of the lantern net overhead, Cheng Xiaoxiao feels that this (qg) scene is so panicked.
Strange, strange.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, you're the 'cat demon (nǎi) (nǎi)' you've seen all kinds of ghosts, what kind of situation are you suddenly stunned here?
I don't!
You give me a head (tg) (xiong), raise your legs high and stride forward!
Cheng Xiaoxiao gave herself an order, she took a deep breath of the cool and sweet air in the flower street, turned (shēn) and left the house in front of her, and then walked towards the side path.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, who entered this path, seemed to have returned to the 'Powder Alley', the same bluestone road, and the same (bi) alley. The only difference is that both sides of this alley are piled up with all kinds of debris.
Through the moonlight, Cheng Xiaoxiao saw that these sundries were piled up in a mess, some were old tables, chairs and benches, and some were old iron pots and other stoves.
It's just that the more she walked, the more Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong, and there were big bamboo baskets on both sides.
Those big bamboo baskets seemed to contain a lot of orchid clothes, and Cheng Xiaoxiao saw that those clothes were new and old, but they were more or less bloodstained without accident.
In fact, at first, Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't be sure that it was bloodstains, after all, there were no lanterns in this alley, and some were just moonlight in the sky. In addition, some of these blood stains were black, and some were still fresh red, so she didn't dare to judge blindly.
But when she actually got closer and took some of the garments into her hands, she found that they were more or less torn, and almost none of them were intact.
Some of the clothes seemed to have been cut by a knife, and they were long strips of scratches; Some are densely packed with small holes; There are also round holes one by one.
And the traces that Cheng Xiaoxiao was not sure of appeared next to these broken strips of cloth, and the rest of the place was stained on the dripping surface.
The most direct thing is that these clothes can smell the rich smell of blood on them when they are a little closer, and the pungent nose is so pungent that Cheng Xiaoxiao's nose is sour.
In addition to the smell of blood, there are other flavors, a bit like the smell of fat powder from Flower Street, and a bit like some floral fragrance. Anyway, the mixture of these two flavors made Cheng Xiaoxiao nauseous, and her tears were about to be smoked out.
Where did you move this from?
And the owners of these clothes, I am afraid that they are already unlucky to be abused like this......
Cheng Xiaoxiao stuffed the clothes in her hand back into the bamboo basket and continued to walk into the alley.
Strange to say, since she walked into this alley, the cry stopped abruptly, and the more Cheng Xiaoxiao went forward, the more she questioned whether she had made a mistake.
But in addition to the moonlight on the sky, the faintly glowing jade pendant on her neck also reminded her that there was something unusual in this alley.
In fact, Cheng Xiaoxiao only discovered that there was something unusual about the jade pendant when she walked to the end of the flower street just now and found this alley, and her attention was elsewhere before.
If it weren't for the light of the jade pendant on the closed door, Cheng Xiaoxiao would not have been able to see the notice on the door, and it was at that time that she realized that the jade pendant had faintly emitted a faint green light at some point.
It was precisely because of the light of the jade pendant that guided her that Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly realized why the other people in the flower street did not react to this cry.
Dare (qg) This crying is not a 'human' but a 'ghost'!
As Cheng Xiaoxiao walked deeper and deeper into the alley, the light of the jade pendant became bigger and bigger.
When she really walked to the end of the alley and saw the huddled ghost shadow under the corner, Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that she had found the source of the sound.
"What are you crying about?"
finally saw the main owner, Cheng Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it's a ghost or a human, it's much better than the feeling of the unknown just now! I don't know what's waiting for (qg) in front of me, and this is the most unbearable.
Cheng Xiaoxiao stared at the dark corner and silently recited the sentence 'Lingyu obeys the order, (yu) opens your eyes for you', and then looked at the ghost again.
"Can you see me?"
The ghost figure had already raised her head, and there were still crystal tears in her eyes, and she looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao with a stunned expression.
Only then did Cheng Xiaoxiao see that this was a Hu woman with deep facial features, and she should have been an orchid in the orchid pavilion before her death.
"Yes, I came here when I heard your cry."
The orchid in front of her spoke softly and weakly, causing Cheng Xiaoxiao to soften her voice.
She didn't know what this ghost was at first, so she was used to asking in her familiar Mandarin. Having said that, Cheng Xiaoxiao actually can't tell what is special about the Mandarin dialect, anyway, it is no different from the Mandarin she speaks, but it saves Cheng Xiaoxiao from deliberately learning.
When Hu Ji looked up and talked to Cheng Xiaoxiao, she was still slightly taken aback for a while.
Because Hu Ji's Chu official spoke very well, but with a special accent from Fanbang. But that accent doesn't make people feel abrupt, but makes people feel very personal.
Orchid or something, it's really a seductive goblin!
"I didn't mean to disturb you, I'm so embarrassed."
Orchid didn't squat in the corner anymore, she deliberately stood up and floated to Cheng Xiaoxiao (shēn), and made a courtesy to Cheng Xiaoxiao that they would only use when they apologized on the side of Fanbang.
The more polite Cheng Xiaoxiao became, the more embarrassed she became, she hurriedly wanted to help Hu Ji, but remembered that Hu Ji was now a ghost, and she couldn't touch it at all.
She quickly waved her hand to signal that Orchid didn't have to do this, and she continued
"You didn't disturb me, I was walking on the flower street when I suddenly heard your cry, so I was curious and wanted to come and have a look."
Hu Ji put down the hand resting in front of her, straightened up after saluting, and nodded to Cheng Xiaoxiao as if she didn't understand.
"But how can you see me? And you can talk to me. ”
Sure enough, the ghosts all ask this kind of question without exception, which is a bit different than Cheng Xiaoxiao, a normal person who can see ghosts but has no waves.
'Normal people'......
Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about her state of hovering between cats (shēn) and people (shēn) from time to time, the corners of her mouth twitched inadvertently, and after thinking about it, she decided to retract her evaluation of being an 'ordinary person'.
"Because I'm a cat demon (nǎi) (nǎi)? You are a Hu person, you should not know cat demon (nǎi) (nǎi). Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about the title that she hadn't used for a long time, and then considered the (shēn) part of the orchid in front of her, and decided to change the word
"Anyway, it's a special existence. Not only can I talk to you, but I can also help you fulfill your wishes and finally send you to reincarnation. ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes became more shining every time she said a word, her deep eyes under her long eyebrows flickered, she looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao with respect, and said reverently
"You must be a god, sent by the Lord to save us who are miserable."
Host?
What 'Lord'? Steaming, landlord, or group owner?
Cheng Xiaoxiao originally wanted to deny it at the first time, but thinking that if she did this, she would definitely have to explain it next, so in order to save time, she had to decide that it was better to follow Hu Ji's words and admit it.
Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded cautiously at Hu Ji, "Yes, I am a god." ”
Hu Ji saw Cheng Xiaoxiao nodding and admitting it, and she was about to kneel down with excitement, "I knew that the gods would definitely appear, I (ri) (ri) (ri) are praying, you finally appeared!" ”
Listening to the meaning of Orchid, they are very interested in this 'god' over there.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed and hurriedly asked Hu Ji to stand up, pretending to be something (tg) embarrassing, how to make people kneel.
In order to avoid pulling up more topics, Cheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked, "So it's convenient to tell me what's wrong with you?" ”
Orchid was not ambiguous, and told Cheng Xiaoxiao her story all over the time.
