"There's nothing to do, don't listen to him, madam."

"What Brother Yan Qing said is that there is no past, there is no past." Murong echoed.

"Excuse me, do I seem to be such a fool of the past?" Yan Suwen looked at Gu Changfeng's eyes: "This Murong is an outsider, I can't ask him, and he has no right or obligation to answer me, but husband, you'd better think clearly." The question I asked just now, did you answer it carefully, or did you just fool around like this? ”

"Otherwise, let's talk upstairs." Murong pointed to the top of his head: "There is a private room upstairs, which is suitable for Brother Yanqing and his sister-in-law to talk about these past things." ”

"Let's go, upstairs." Yan Suwen ignored the surprised eyes of those people in the rivers and lakes, and directly dragged Gu Changfeng upstairs.

"Does Murong Gongzi recognize these two?" Just now, the person surnamed Shan spoke.

"Not only do I know it, but I am still an old friend." Murong smiled and pointed to the single girl who was still sitting on the ground: "It's a shame that you didn't offend him for your sister just now." This Brother Yanqing, although he is not from my rivers and lakes, is not something that my people from the rivers and lakes can offend at will. ”

"Murong Gongzi doesn't dare to offend him?"

"Unless my Murong family is full, no one will provoke him. Don't say that I Murong didn't remind you, offending this person is much more terrible than offending King Yama. Eat first, and when I come down from upstairs, let's go back to Murong Mansion together." ”

"Murong Gongzi, please." Those people in the rivers and lakes are all voices again.

Seeing Murong go upstairs, the single girl sitting on the ground finally stood up, and then glared upstairs with some discomfort, muttering: "I don't believe it, they can be more terrible than King Yama." ”

"Shhhh A pair of hands covered Miss Shan's mouth: "You don't have long eyes, was Murong Gongzi's attitude towards that Gongzi fake just now?" Even the Murong family doesn't dare to offend people easily, what can you do? I can tell you, we came to Yonghe County to help, not to cause chaos, let alone cause trouble for our own family. ”

"Cut, that's so nice. Help? It's not the Tu Murong family's bounty. A young man dressed in black put down the wine cup in his hand: "What are you staring at?" Isn't what I'm saying the truth, sir? The young master does not do dark things, and he does not get these false reputations of fame. The master came for the generous reward given by the Murong family. In this world, what is the most important thing about fame, it is still important to eat and dress warmly, and eat fragrant and drink spicy food. ”

In a word, the people who said it all coughed lightly involuntarily. This is very reasonable, people in the rivers and lakes are also people, and if they are people, they have to eat, drink, and sleep, and they need to spend money. This money will not fall from the sky by itself.

The movement downstairs did not reach the upper floors. This inn is very large, the box is not small, and the sound insulation effect is good.

One of the two of them didn't speak, and the other didn't know how to speak. Murong looked to the left, and then to the right, and had no choice but to open his mouth to speak.

"This has to start five years ago. At that time, Brother Yan Qing came to our Yonghe County because of an incident, and met my sister Murong Wan'er by mistake. My sister is a chivalrous woman who is old-fashioned. It's not good to say, it's just a crazy girl with no heart and no lungs. She originally wanted to help Brother Yan Qing, but the more she helped, the more she helped, and almost ruined Brother Yan Qing's big thing. Fortunately, this matter was finally resolved satisfactorily, but my sister Wan'er was seriously injured in order to save Brother Yanqing, or to make up for the mistakes she made when she made trouble before. ”

"And then?"

"My sister was injured, and Brother Yan Qing felt a little unhappy, so he stayed in the house to take care of my sister for a while. My stupid sister mistakenly took Brother Yanqing's care for love, and as soon as her head was dizzy, she fell into it, shouting at home that Brother Yanqing would not marry. As for me, in order to make my sister sober, I directed and acted in a play, which made my sister mistakenly think that Brother Yan Qing was a person with broken sleeves. My sister doesn't want to marry him anymore, but Brother Yan Qing doesn't want to deal with me anymore. ”

Murong touched his nose: "Don't think too much about it, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I can testify that Brother Yanqing is just an ordinary brother and sister to my sister Wan'er." Instead of being jealous here, Mrs. Sister-in-law should ask Brother Yan Qing if he still has a marriage contract on him. ”

"Engagement?"

"It's the one with you." Gu Changfeng looked at Yan Su and asked.

"The one with her-" Murong was a little surprised: "Brother Yan Qing means that the sister-in-law in front of you is the Yan girl who has a marriage contract with you?" This is a bit of a surprise. Murong still remembered that at the beginning, Brother Yan Qing was so conclusive that he had to divorce him, saying that it was a girl from the Yan family who wanted it, and how could he marry someone home after only a few years of hard work. ”

"Not only did I marry home, I also gave birth to a little Yanqing for him." Yan Su asked and curled the corners of his mouth: "Husband, please explain, why is it so difficult for the girl of our Yan family." ”

"I'm referring to your eldest sister and third sister, Madame, but remember, I told Madame about it. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely go to find my wife early. ”

"Oh my God." Murong covered his mouth: "Brother Yan Qing is also a person who can say such sour words, if I didn't recognize your strange temper, I suspect that this is just a person who looks a little similar to you." Why, after this person gets married, will he become different from before? ”

"You can marry a lady and try it." Yan Su asked Murong with a blank look: "What's the matter with your sister?" How could it be missing. Also, the red maple forest you just talked about, what else is Tianba? What does this have to do with your sister's disappearance? ”

"It's a long story."

"If it's a long story, let's talk slowly, if it really doesn't work, let Xiao Er bring some wine and food, and let's talk while eating." Yan Suwen walked to the table and sat down: "In short, if you want my husband to help, you have to explain the cause and effect clearly." ”

"Let's start with the Red Maple Forest." Murong also sat down: "This red maple forest, originally there was no red word, it was called maple forest." Because there is a cottage in the forest, it is called Fenglin Village. ”

"Tianba, is it the owner of this Fenglin Village?" Yan Su asked.

"It's not." Murong shook his head lightly: "This Fenglin Village is not one of those rivers and lakes cottages, it was an ordinary village at the beginning. The people in the village make a living by farming and growing herbs. Probably ten years ago, the daughter of the old village owner was found dead at home before leaving the pavilion. At that time, she was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, sitting upright in front of the dresser, but her head was missing. At the scene, there was no bloodstain, and even the bride's neck was clean. If it weren't for the fact that there was such a terrible fracture, it would almost make people think that this bride had no head. This incident caused panic not only in the village, but also in the entire Yonghe County. But the investigation came and went, but the cause of the bride's death was not investigated, let alone the suspect and murderer. Later, the people in the stockade buried the bride. ”

"After this burial, did something particularly terrifying happen?"

"It's not a particularly scary thing, but the day after the bride was buried, there were two more things on the door or window in the village where there were girls in the house."

"Those two things?"

"Red hi characters and white velvet flowers." Murong's voice unconsciously eased a lot: "This red happy word, Mrs. Sister-in-law should know that this is something that can only be used when a woman marries or a man marries." This white velvet flower is what the elders wear on their heads when we hold funerals in Yonghe County. This red and white, one joy and one mourning, are just put in one place, so that people only feel hairy in their hearts when they see it. ”

"Is this a warning?"

It is a warning rather than a foreshadowing, indicating that the daughters of these families will also meet with bad luck. When the red happy word and the white velvet flower first appeared, the big guys didn't take it to heart, thinking that someone was playing a prank. But just a few months later, another family in the village got married. This time, the whole process of marrying was smooth, but when the groom returned to the cave room after drinking the wedding wine and lifted the red hijab on the bride's head, the screams of fear pierced the sky over the entire Yonghe County. ”

"Isn't this bride's head gone?"

"It's not just gone, it's more." Murong sighed: "The original head of this bride is gone, but there is an extra skeleton of Bai Sensen on this head. The skeleton had long hair, and its hair was neatly combed, and it wore a golden hairpin on it. Through identification, the old village owner found that the golden hairpin belonged to his daughter, and his daughter was the bride-to-be who had her head cut off before leaving the cabinet a few months ago. The family of this marrying is not a particularly noble family, and the courtyard can be seen at a glance. When the bride was killed, the bridegroom was still drinking in the courtyard with the guests, and did not see any suspicious people coming or going, and when the bride was killed, he did not make any noise. It's all weird like only a ghost can do. ”

"Was this bride also sitting upright on the bed at that time?"

"Yes, sitting upright on the bed. If she was lying on the ground, or if there was unknown blood on the ground, no matter how drunk the groom was, he would not wait for the hijab to let out such a scream. It is said that the bridegroom was frightened stupid at that time. In the following two years, whether the girl in the village married or the young man married, the bride was without exception beheaded, but some were replaced by skeletons, and some were not. Because the brides who were victimized were buried in the maple forest, this maple forest has another name, called the red maple forest. This red refers to both blood and the red wedding dress worn by the bride. ”

"I've never heard such a strange thing."

"It's because it's too strange, so I don't dare to let people outside know, and the news has been suppressed by the government. When Brother Yan Qing first arrived in Yonghe, it was because of the headless bride of the red maple forest. ”
