Chapter 00082 Cellar
Miss Tang ran away again, and when I explained, she covered her ears with her hands, "I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen...... and she didn't look back.
Yao sneered twice, and left with Mu Qingchen and the others.
A familiar scene, a deepening misunderstanding, I feel that I may never be able to explain it clearly.
Nan Ya sat down, took out a cigarette pouch and smoked.
"Jiu'er, it's just the three of us here, let's talk about it, don't be ashamed, you're so old."
"Yes, Brother Jiu, don't talk about a girl, it's ten hundred, whatever." Niu Meng also smoked a cigarette and echoed on the side.
"No, I really don't."
"Will there be, don't you know?"
"How is it possible, if there is, it will happen to the demon clan in the situation that I am confused."
"It can't be a demon clan."
"Why?"
"You have more contact with Yao Xiaomei, Tang Jinghong, and Qin Yuetong around you, due to the bloodline problem, if you have a relationship with any of the three of them, they will have incredible changes.
Obviously, the three of them didn't. ”
"Could that be what other youkai did when I was in the Demon Realm?"
"It's impossible, our bloodline will increase when it reaches the demon realm, and even Mu Rong can't absorb your innate vitality. If there were monsters in Jinling that were more powerful than Mu Rong, it would be impossible for Mu Rong not to know.
Therefore, it can only be people who make your child's body disappear. I think I have to go back to Jinling and ask Uncle Shi about this, he has been taking you with him, maybe it was a few years ago. ”
"Then how can I explain it to Miss Tang?"
"Women, just coax, besides, how big it is, think about it slowly. Grab a bite to eat, rest for a while, and go. ”
I was speechless, but I heard Nan Ya say this...... Could it be that I really broke down a few years ago? And I don't know it myself? It seems that I may really have to ask Uncle Shi about this.
Nan Ya didn't say much about this nightmare. Dream demons are capable of making people have any dreams, and those dreams are just like the real thing.
I didn't think much of it, I just had a bite to eat and started on my way.
I was unhappy all the way, thinking about how to explain it to Miss Tang.
Niu Meng also comforted me, "Brother Jiu, don't worry. These days, it's all men picking women, when have you ever seen women pick men? Could it be that when a matchmaker introduces a man, she also talks about whether the person is a child? ”
When I think about it, it seems that this is really the truth. This society is more strict with the innocence of girls. For men...... Well, I've never heard of a man being asked to be innocent.
For the next few days, Miss Tang never came out of the carriage, and I didn't go to look for her. I thought that after I arrived in Jinling, I would coax her well.
Every time at night, Nan Ya asked the guards to light torches and continue on their way. He and Yao walked at the front of the line, and Niu Meng and I walked at the back.
It is said that it is a daytime rest, but by the time I go to bed, it is already morning.
I walked away for a few more days, but I was fine.
Unconsciously, half a moon, we came to Luzhou, and it was not far from Jinling when we arrived in Luzhou.
Nan Ya said that everyone was in a hurry, and they didn't have a good rest, so they went to Luzhou City to rest for two days before leaving.
Luzhou is not a big city, but there have been many poems related to Luzhou throughout the ages. In addition, it is near Jinling, although its prosperity is a little worse than Yangzhou, but it is also about the same.
We didn't inform the local government, and Nan Ya spent money to buy a restaurant. The room was sufficient, and the guards of the six doors were able to take turns guarding and resting.
After staying in the restaurant, it was already night, and we sat at a table to eat, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. It may be that Tang Jinghong's anger has not subsided, she doesn't speak, and everyone doesn't speak.
Nan Ya originally had few words, as for Niu Meng, he probably didn't dare to say it, and occasionally made eye contact with me, and I was not in the mood to speak.
Xiaoyu didn't know when she learned to embroider, and she was embroidering clothes at this time, which looked like a belly pocket. Maybe their demon clan doesn't care much about that.
In the world, embroidering such very personal clothes is hidden in their own small rooms, how can they be above board.
Xiaoqing is still a dog, but he doesn't shout much. At this time, he was also squatting next to Mu Qingchen, sticking out his tongue.
Regarding Xiaoqing and Xiaoyu's skin, Mu Qingchen asked Nanya on the road. Nan Ya said that he would help them find them after arriving in Jinling, but it would take time.
Mu Qingchen said, she is not in a hurry, anyway, when will we help them find the skin, and when will Mu Qingchen tell us where the clues to Zhuge Liang's tomb are.
After eating, everyone went back to their rooms. I'm going to go to Miss Tang and explain it to her.
The main thing is that today's Tang girl is the gentle one, although she also has a straight face, but she can see it by looking at her expression.
I lingered at the door of Miss Tang's room for a long time, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
"Who." Miss Tang's voice came from inside the door, but it was a little hoarse.
"Miss Tang, me."
I thought Miss Tang would not let me in, but the door opened.
Miss Tang stood at the door, looking at me resentfully, her eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like she hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
"Come in." Miss Tang pursed her mouth.
I went into the room and sat down, and Miss Tang closed the door and went to pour me tea.
The lantern light is not very bright, and it looks very soft.
Miss Tang put the teacup in front of me and said angrily, "Hmph, what are you looking for me?" ”
"I ...... Miss Tang, listen to my explanation, I don't have that kind of thing. Even if there were, I don't know. I have been following my uncle a few years ago, maybe his old man stunted me in order to save people or something.
I don't know, you have to trust me. ”
"Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, then what's the matter with you peeking at Sister Yao's bath?" I realized that Tang Jinghong was angry about this matter!
How long has it been since this happened, can't the girl's heart be a little bigger?
I had no choice but to explain what happened that day to Miss Tang.
After hearing this, she still looked unhappy, and muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, you've seen her body......"
I started coaxing her and saying some sweet things that weren't very good. Although I don't know how to coax girls, I read a lot of books. According to the learning in the books, according to the gourd to draw the scoop, you can still say something.
Miss Tang is indeed a very coaxing girl, and I was coaxed to sleep after a while.
Of course, I slept with her in my arms.
Don't think about it, just hold it, and it's me sitting with her on my lap. I always think that the ceremony of Zhou Gong with Miss Tang should be placed after marriage.
And I've always been a pure-hearted man, which may have something to do with reading a lot of Confucian classics.
Although sometimes some bad thoughts appear in the mind, just by silently reciting a mantra to restrain them.
I waited until Miss Tang was asleep before I went out. Let her pillow for a while, my legs will be more numb. I was very cautious when I was pumping my legs, for fear of waking her up.
Maybe she woke up, but pretended she wasn't, anyway, she didn't wake up.
When I went out, I was relieved to close the door.
As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Yao Xiaomei's face.
She frowned slightly, and looked at me with good intentions, "Don't you have long eyes?" ”
"Who made you always appear without knowing it, and the ghost appeared unconsciously."
She gave me a blank look, "There's something, come and see." ”
I shrugged and followed her downstairs.
Yao Yimei took me to the cellar of the restaurant, where Nan Ya was already inside. This cellar has a strange lid, it is a gossip-shaped, and it has obviously been modified.
The cellar is lined with wooden shelves with a passage left in the middle.
Nan Ya was standing in the passageway, bending down to look at the things on the shelves on both sides. There was also a person standing next to Nan Ya, who seemed to be the shopkeeper of the inn, and I had the impression that he was dazzling.
In his early forties, his hands were withered, his face was pale, and his whole person looked lifeless.
On the wooden shelves on both sides, candles are placed on each floor, and there is a very strange smell in it, which is a little disgusting to ask.
"Come and have a look." Nan Ya said.
I walked over and looked at the things on the wooden shelves.
Something on it is rare, no, it can't be said to be rare, it's extremely rare. There are a lot of glass bottles on each row of shelves.
This kind of glaze belongs to the high-grade glaze, and it is rare even in the palace. My uncle once showed me one, saying that Zheng He brought it back when he went to the West.
The bottle is very transparent, and you can see anything inside. However, the glass bottle placed here is a little greenish, cylindrical in shape, with a smaller mouth and a wooden stopper on it.
The point is that these bottles and cans are filled with clay figurines, which look like clay figurines, soaked in water, it may be water, or wine, or something else, you have to open it and smell it.
The appearance of these clay figures is none other than people from Cheng Mansion.
Nan Ya said that there were seventy-two clay figures in total.
"Isn't there seventy-three dead in the Cheng Mansion?"
"There's another one there."
Nan Ya led me to the wooden frame in the last row.
This wooden frame is larger than the others, but only a large glass bottle is placed.
The bottle contained a human head, with its eyes open, as if it were alive.
I've seen this kind of scene a lot, and I'm not too scared now, if I had put it in the past, I guess I wouldn't be able to walk in fear.
"Who is he?" I asked.
"Cheng Tianke."
"Killed?"
"I don't know."
I remember that Cheng Tianke was wanted by the imperial court to ask for food, saying that he killed Jinling Cheng Mansion Manmen. At that time, I also suspected that they were all the same family, and he was also the current patriarch of the Cheng family, how could he do something to harm his own clan?
I stared at Cheng Tianke's head for a while, as if I saw him blink.
I was frightened in my heart, "Nanya, he seems to have blinked......"
"Normal reaction, soaked in water for a long time, and this spelling is not necessarily filled with water. The shopkeeper said that the cellar had not been used for two years.
It collapsed once two years ago, and the shopkeeper buried it with earth.
We chartered the whole restaurant, and when Xiao Er was cleaning, he found that the soil in the buried place seemed to have been dug up, so he dug it up and looked at it, only to find that it was here.
This cellar is very cleverly arranged, and the wooden shelves are arranged in the manner of the Bagua Array, which can gather yin qi.
The shopkeeper's hand also began to have problems a year ago, and it should have been eroded by Yin Qi. That is, this place existed a year ago.
Let's go back to sleep first, this cellar is not simple, tomorrow I will have people dismantle the restaurant, open these bottles at noon. ”
Nan Ya looked a little worried, if it was normal, he would definitely smash the bottle on the spot.
But this time he was so careful, which shows that the gossip array arranged in this cellar is definitely not ordinary.
I also noticed a strange place, the clay figurines inside the bottle, all with silver needles pierced on their backs, I don't know what they do.
