Chapter 57: The Pact of Life (2)

"Little sister, it's so late, why are you still alone on the street." Everyone walked towards that place, and then they saw clearly - it was a little girl with two buns, and a small red tear mole in the corner of her eye, which made the whole person smart and well-behaved, Bai Yu'er couldn't help but ask with concern.

The little girl wore a thick coat made of simple coarse cloth, and although there were many patches on it, the patches were carefully embroidered with various patterns and patterns, so that on the whole it was more beautiful.

However, it was only the beginning of autumn, why was this little girl wearing such thick clothes?

Maybe it's a dark night, and the climate is slightly cool. Yun Lingxiu suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"I'm not a little sister." Unexpectedly, the little girl raised her head and looked at Bai Yu'er with a serious expression, "I'm my sister." ”

"Huh?" Bai Yu'er obviously didn't know what she meant, and was a little stunned.

"You mean, you also have a sister?" Ning Pheasant patted Bai Yu'er on the shoulder as a comfort, and asked gently.

"Sister?" The little girl stared at Ning Pheasant's movements, as if she was stuck in a memory, then tilted her head, thought about it suspiciously, and answered the question, "I'm ninety years old, not my sister anymore." ”

The six looked at each other.

"How can you be ninety years old when you're so young?" Bai Yu'er only thought she was joking, and looked at her with bright eyes, "You tell my sister, how old are you?" ”

"How old are you? Nine years old? The little girl really folded her fingers and counted, "Nine years old?" Ten years old? Eleven years old...... Ninety years old? ”

She calculated seriously, but she didn't calculate it for a long time, and finally said with a sad face, "It's been too long, I can't remember it anymore." ”

She is well-behaved and smart, and when she shows a puzzled look on her face, she has a melancholy beyond her age, which makes people more and more pitiful, which causes Bai Yu'er to feel pity for a while, and hurriedly said, "If you can't count it, you don't have to count it." ”

The little girl nodded slowly.

"Girl, can you spend the night and let me take a cold shower." Nan Rongpu was already drenched in sweat at the beginning of the year, and couldn't help but ask, "It's too hot this weather." ”

"Okay." The little girl laughed, her voice echoing ethereal throughout the street, slightly terrifying. She turned and walked towards the end of the street, "You come with me." ”

The little girl's house was at the eastern end of the street, a little distance from the street, and unlike the houses on both sides of the street, it was a thatched hut made of tree branches. Although it is a thatched house, it is spacious. The small courtyard is enclosed by a fence outside, and the branches and grass in the courtyard are rampant, almost completely blocking the stone slab at the entrance.

"Little sister...... Have you always lived here? Yun Lingxiu, who was lagging behind, looked at the overgrown weeds in the courtyard and suddenly asked.

"Yes!" The little girl seemed to be completely unaffected by the weeds, and walked through the half-human-high grass in the courtyard, pushed open the door of the wooden house, and invited the guests to sit down.

I didn't know how she lit the lamp, but a candle was already lit on a simple wooden table in the room. "I'm going to cook, you're all hungry, aren't you?" The little girl smiled and walked towards the courtyard outside the house, "You can do it yourself~"

"We'll help you!" Bai Yu'er immediately pulled Ning Pheasant and Chu Mo to help.

As soon as Nan Rongpu entered the house, he went straight to the east room of the house.

"Brother Puchu, where are you going?" Yun Lingxiu glanced at the ashes on the table, and saw Nan Rong Puchu walking towards the small partition room in the east.

Nan Rong Puchu stretched out his hand to take off his upper clothes, and walked over there without looking back, as if he was familiar with this place, "I'll go take a bath." There is a bathhouse here. ”

Yun Lingxiu noticed that behind him, blood was no longer oozing, but instead revealing a strange color of blue and white.

Yun Lingxiu frowned, his face was heavy, and he looked around the room, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

Although the room has a thick dust, all kinds of objects are neatly placed without redundancy. Although the interior of the house is simple, it is carefully arranged, with a wall scene made of dried flowers, ornaments and fans woven by reeds and cattails, and even by the window, there are flowers cut with bamboo leaves, which are delicate and realistic, elegant and beautiful.

It can be seen that the owner here is a person who is good at decorating.

There seemed to be faint laughter and conversation from the ladies in the kitchen outside the courtyard, and it seemed that they were getting along very happily.

Yun Yuan stood at the door, not saying a word.

"What do you think?" Yun Lingxiu walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Then, he followed Yun Yuan's gaze, and suddenly there was a red mist surging in the street, and the red light flickered in the candlelight jumping lanterns. In the red mist, a square wooden box faintly appeared......

The wooden box was a man of length, tall and broad.

It's a coffin!

There is a lantern hanging in the lower left corner of the eaves of each house, and there is a coffin hanging in the center, which is hidden in the red mist, and it is difficult to see.

"Fang Cai hasn't ...... yet" Yun Lingxiu was shocked, raised his head, and found that a full moon suddenly hung on the night sky that was still dark and distant just now.

The moon was the size of a jade disk, round and bright, bright and bright, and it was the full moon.

It's the end of the month, so how can it be a full moon?

The eerie atmosphere only increases, and here it looks reasonable everywhere, but it is full of weirdness. Yun Lingxiu and Yun Yuan glanced at each other and walked side by side towards the street.

"Huh? Where are you going? Nan Rong Puchu walked out at this time, and when he saw the two of them going out, he immediately ran over.

"Didn't you take a shower?" Yun Lingxiu said with a smile.

"Roughly rushed." Nan Rongpu frowned at the beginning, and seemed not very satisfied.

"Wronged." Presumably, His Royal Highness the pampered Prince has never suffered like this, and the bath is so simple, Yun Lingxiu said sincerely.

"However, it seems that when I stepped into this room, my back didn't itch, but it was still a little hot."

"That's good." Yun Lingxiu pointed to the street, "Let's go to the street and have a look, will you go?" ”

"Go!" Nan Rongpu Chu shook off the robe in his hand, stretched out his hand to put it on, and slowly smoothed the wrinkles on his body, his movements were gentle and careful, as if he had changed a person, and he was extremely patient, "Let's go buy some lanterns and put them on, today's Lantern Festival, the street must be very lively!" ”

"Lantern Festival?" Yun Lingxiu looked at his movements, and was secretly shocked in his heart, at this time, it was only early autumn, which was the Lantern Festival? He frowned and stared at Nan Rong Puchu in front of him, his expression was as usual, his expression was soft, but there seemed to be a trace of black between his eyebrows.

Yun Lingxiu looked at Yun Yuan, his face was also solemn, but he didn't speak.

Shocked in his heart, Yun Lingxiu still nodded and said with a smile, "Okay." How many lanterns to buy? ”

"Two," Nan Rongpu said as he walked out of the door, with a look on his face that he had never seen before—soft as water, concerned and doting, "Ami likes to put lanterns the most, and she will be happy." ”

"Ami is who?" Thinking of the word "Mi" on the lantern on Fangcai Street, Yun Lingxiu said curiously.

"Ami?" Nan Rongpu Chu scratched his head, looked at Yun Ling Xiu in confusion, and asked instead, "Brother Ling Xiu, why are you asking so much?" How do I know who Ami is? ”
