Chapter 31: The Mysterious Man
The night sinks like water.
The man who patrolled the city couldn't help but yawn, and his voice was tired.
In a mansion somewhere in the southeast of Zhaoyi City, only a few places of Zhu Lou Qiongyu under the dim starlight were lit, making this mansion look half fairyland half like a demon cave.
A splendid mansion with a one-man tall Arowana Palace lamp lit with the finest fish anointment oil, and a baoding-shaped incense burner with a mixture of white beeswax and ambergris.
White beeswax has the strongest aroma, so it is called amber, and it is the purest fragrance in amber.
The combination of the best white amber and ambergris is known as the white tiger with the green dragon, which is more precious than simple ambergris.
In the center of the room was a piece of jade rosewood head case, and in front of the case were two official hat chairs inlaid with Shoushan stones, and two young men were sitting.
The two of them were sitting on their knees, as if they were carved from clay and wood, but they just sweated like pulp along their sideburns, but they didn't dare to raise their hands to wipe them.
Behind the case is an exaggeratedly large bed, larger than the four beds of an ordinary family combined,
The golden silk nanmu, which is more precious than gold, shines a noble and calm luster under the light.
The dragon silk tent hung low, and the shadow was enough to see that there were several people inside.
An adult man, with his hair loose, half-reclined on the bed.
Around him were crawling or sitting four or five children, the oldest of whom was no more than three years old, and the youngest of whom was just crawling.
The man's head rested on a little boy, who was lying on his stomach, and under him was a board of golden silk with four gold rings on it, which held his hands and feet in place.
At her feet was a girl lying on her back, also two or three years old, with her hands and feet fixed.
Men are dry, women are kun. This head, this boy, and the girl step on the girl, which means to step on the pillow.
The two children were apparently specially trained to remain motionless. Only breathing makes their chests and abdomen rise and fall slightly, indicating that they are still alive.
The other three children were unconsciously crawling and stopping in bed, they were much younger than the other two children, and none of them could walk.
This man took one of them and kneaded them in his arms, looking intoxicated.
Although these children are young, their expressions are unreasonably numb and dead.
Because of the light, it is difficult to see what the person in the bed really looks like.
He seemed to be particularly infatuated with the touch of the baby's skin, caressing the body of the child in his arms, hissing in his mouth, like a thick poisonous snake playing with the poor chicks.
"You borrowed my Fierce Spotted General, only to have him killed. Do you know that it has already eaten ninety-nine primordial babies, and only one is missing from becoming a big one? The man's voice was slow, and his tone wasn't necessarily harsh.
But the two young men sitting on the chair were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and the sound was terrifying.
"The two of us really don't mean it, we just know that General Mengban is still one yuan baby away, so we will come up with the best of both worlds. Let it eat the little prince of the Wei family, so that it can be successful. Then we took its brain and offered it to you. One of the kneeling men explained eagerly.
"Yes, that's what you two fools told me at the beginning, I know that you want to monopolize the seven girls of the Wei family, and if his family's title is not removed, you won't be able to get it. But I didn't expect you two idiots to mess things up. The man in the tent laughed.
The two people were almost not scared to death when they heard this laughter, and hurriedly explained: "That fierce general is about to eat the fool of the Wei family, who knows that two people will be killed halfway." One of them saved people, the other fought tigers, but they still smashed General Mengban's head. This is really unpredictable. ”
"Don't make bells and whistles in front of me, I'm just cultivating my true anger and don't want to talk to you more. The reason why you begged me to borrow General Mengban in every possible way is that it is false to help me make merits, and you want me to help you erase the traces is true. The person in the tent said in a chattering tone: "In this capital, except for me, I am afraid that there is no second person who can smooth this matter out." How is the Wei family also a royal mansion, and there are tigers in the city, can you think that it is easy to take a break? ”
"You are wise and wise, our brother does not dare to quibble, but I ask you to be merciful and forgive us for our unintentional mistakes, and in the future our brother will only be doubly loyal to you." The two men knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.
"Where will you two wicked men be faithful? Now something has happened and I want to blame others, but I won't settle accounts with the two of them. One of them is a poor ghost and the other is an orphan girl, what do I ask them to pay? The man in the tent held the child in his arms to him as he spoke, sniffing greedily at the baby's body odor, and from time to time sticking out his tongue to lick the delicate skin.
"My Fierce Spotted General is gone, and there is still a Silver Spotted General," said the man, "Go and get me ninety-nine primordial babies!" I'll give you half a year, and I'll cut off one of your fingers one more day. There are still toes after the fingers are chopped off, and there are eyes after the toes are chopped off. ”
"We'll do our best," the two men battled, "definitely, definitely." ”
"Get out of here! You have stained my ground. The man's brows furrowed slightly, and the two people who were kneeling on the ground crawled out of the ground, lest they die if they were one step too late.
"The dirtiest thing in this world is people, and only ignorant children are the purest." The man looked confused and took the children into his arms, and hugged them tightly, and the more they hugged them, the tighter they became.
Several children began to suffocate, and one of them, a young boy, instinctively bit down on the abuser's shoulder.
The arms that held them loose, and the three children fell to the bed, making loud inhalations, their faces purple, and their little bodies writhing in pain.
The man looked at the purple-red tooth marks on his shoulder, grabbed the little boy who had bitten him, and lifted him up to his eyes.
Whispered as softly asked, "Why are you so bad?" Are you a demon reincarnated? ”
The child was terrified and writhed desperately, but for some reason he just didn't cry.
The other children looked at the scene in front of them, and there was no strangeness in their pure and hazy eyes, as if such things had become commonplace.
Although their young minds did not understand why this was happening, they were used to it.
The child who was held in front of him slowly lost his breath, and his little body hung limply, as if he was asleep.
A ghost-like shadow appeared in front of the bed, and he walked quietly, always able to appear in time for his master to need him.
"Go ahead! Serve this as General Silverspot's dinner. Ninety-nine are missing, so let that pair of foolish brothers take care of it! ”
