Chapter 60: The Path
In order to lead the way, Yun Xiang walked in the head.
Cheng Huai walked at the end, with a Tong Yan sandwiched between the two.
The passage on the west side of the Yongwang Mansion was very dark, and the three of them didn't even have a lantern in their hands.
Yun Xiang and Cheng Huai are both martial arts practitioners, and their eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, so they can still clearly see the road clearly through the glimmer of moonlight shining in.
But Tongyan couldn't do it, she could barely see the road under her feet, so she could only drag the corner of Yunxiang's clothes behind her back and follow her.
Fortunately, the road is relatively smooth, there are no foreign objects, and she walks quite smoothly.
The large mansion on the west side of the meazzanine is uninhabited and deserted, and it was the residence of a princess more than 30 years ago.
It is rumored that after the princess and the concubine just got married, Qin Se and Ming, raised their eyebrows, and they were very affectionate. It's a pity that one day a few years later, the colt brought a woman back, and it was entangled in the princess's room in the blue sky and daylight, and the princess happened to bump into her. Filled with shame, she drew her sword from the wall, stabbed the colt and the woman to death, and killed herself with hatred.
The princess also had no children, so the saint had to take the house back and send some people to take care of it. But the servants who took care of the house said that there was a white-clothed female ghost here, and a person died, and the person fell straight down from the stone steps and fell to his death.
Now the servants didn't dare to take care of it, and the house was completely empty, and there was not even a single cigarette.
This story was told to her by Ji Yue a few days ago, she was not scared at the time, she just felt that this princess was so stupid and miserable, and now walking next to this deserted house, she always thinks of this story and feels that her whole body is gloomy.
She shuddered.
Cheng Huai saw it clearly, and said with confusion and concern: "But it's cold?" ”
Tong Yan turned around and smiled reluctantly, and whispered, "No, it's not cold." ”
Her smile was stiff, her eyes were clearly timid, and a small hand was still tightly grasping the corner of the maid's clothes in front of her.
Cheng Huai suddenly realized that the county lord was afraid of the dark, he was very embarrassed, and said apologetically: "It's because I didn't think about it, I should bring a fire breaker." ”
Tong Yan burst out laughing, "How do you know that I don't go through the gate, I have to climb over the wall, if I want to bring it, I should bring it." She looked back at him and smiled.
A pair of smiling eyes are crooked, and the eye waves are flowing, which is very charming and moving.
Cheng Huai couldn't help but be stunned.
It's a pity that the trail is too dark, Tong Yan can't see his demeanor clearly, and she doesn't know his strange appearance, so she turned her head again after speaking.
He suddenly remembered the first time he saw her in the palace, and she was smiling merrily like a shining pearl.
She tilted her ears, waited for a while and didn't hear Cheng Huai reply, and thought that she had made him have nothing to say, she was uneasy, although she couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, but she still turned her face to look at him again.
Cheng Huai came back to his senses at this time, his ears were slightly red, and he coughed lightly: "Then remember to bring it next time." ”
Tong Yan was choked.
What the hell do you remember to bring next time? If you go out to harm people despite the curfew at night, will there be a next time?
Was he sarcastic about her?
Tong Yan pouted and was not happy.
"Cheng Shizi, do you know whose house this mansion next to the palace is?" She asked with a wicked smile as she turned her little brain.
Cheng Huai replied: "It is the mansion of Princess Xiangyang." ”
"Then do you know why no one lives in it now?" Tong Yan said again.
"The princess and the colt both died, and there were no offspring, and they were desolate." Cheng Huai explained succinctly.
"Oh~" Tong Yan dragged a long voice, her tone was meandering, and she nodded, "I heard that the concubine was killed by the princess, and then the princess also killed herself, have you heard?" ”
Cheng Huai didn't know what she meant, and hesitated: "After many years, I have heard a little about it. ”
It turned out that the county lord knew, and he thought that the county lord was really puzzled before asking him questions.
I only heard Tong Yan say quietly: "I heard that the next door is often haunted, there are often women in white wandering around, and she is also a powerful ghost who has killed people, when Cheng Shizi goes back later, you must be careful, don't be hurt by that female ghost." ”
Cheng Huai couldn't cry or laugh, and said jokingly: "Thank you for reminding the county lord, I will definitely be more careful not to let the female ghost catch her." ”
Tong Yan snorted, "What does the female ghost do when she catches you, she will pounce directly on you and hurt you." ”
"But did the county lord find a problem?" Cheng Huai said with a smile.
"What's the problem?" She wondered.
"Who is this female ghost?" Cheng Huai asked slowly.
"Of course it's a princess." Tong Yan said, "She hates that the colt has ruined all her life, so she hates wandering and refuses to be reincarnated." ”
Cheng Huai raised his eyebrows in the darkness and said with a smile: "She has already taken revenge, both the horse and the woman died under her sword, what revenge does she have to avenge?" ”
"That, that ......" Tong Yan was speechless for a while, it seemed to make some sense, the horse and the woman were dead, she couldn't think of who was to blame if she had to end herself?
Just thinking that this was reasonable, a stone happened to block her feet, and by coincidence, her shoes were halfway stepped on, and her ankles were broken, and she lost her face and had no time to speak, and suddenly the left rear was crooked.
Fortunately, a pair of big hands held her arms steadily, and a deep voice whispered in her ear: "Be careful." ”
Tong Yan could clearly feel the warm body of the person behind her, she almost fell into his arms, and a faint smell of books permeated the tip of her nose, which was very reassuring.
Xiangyun felt the county lord pulling the corner of his clothes, pulling and loosening, hurriedly turned around, and saw that the county lord almost fell, so he hurriedly came over and asked anxiously, "Is the county lord injured?"
Tong Yan reacted, her face turned crimson, she was flustered, she took Xiangyun's hand and stood up straight, and said in a loud voice: "It doesn't matter, it's just that I was stunned by a stone." ”
Cheng Huai only felt that the slender arm held in his hand was as soft as a bone, which made him feel hot inexplicably, and a trace of sweet breath in her hair always lingered in his nose, and his Adam's apple swallowed involuntarily.
And her sudden withdrawal made his hands, which he had not yet had time to retract, a little empty.
She hung her head again and said to Cheng Huai: "Thank you, son." ”
"The county lord doesn't have to be polite." Cheng Huai was originally a little embarrassed, but when he saw Tong Yan hanging her head, the embarrassment suddenly disappeared.
He seemed to be able to see that her earlobes, which looked like two pearls, had been dyed a faint pink.
"Are your feet okay?" He asked with concern.
Tong Yan pursed her lips and shook her head, not daring to look at him squarely.
"County Lord, is your foot really okay?" Xiangyun looked down at her feet, a little worried.
Tong Yan smiled: "It's really fine, don't believe it." She stretched out her foot, shook her ankle, pulled Xiangyun and said, "Look it's okay." ”
It's really okay, Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Tong Yan felt that her face was very hot, and urged: "Let's go, it's coming soon." ”
Xiangyun nodded and advised, "Then the county lord should grasp the clothes of the servant." ”
Tong Yan said "um", waited for her to turn around, continued to pull her clothes, and the three of them walked on.
didn't take a few steps, Cheng Huai looked at the barren mansion on his right, hooked his lips and smiled, which was particularly confusing in the dark, and slowly spoke: "County Lord, look, what is that on the right?" ”
