Chapter Seventy-Four: The Man in the Box
On the fourth watch, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and a few stone lamps are shining, like a lonely ghost fire.
Another woman's voice rang out, "...... Ahh
If the four were still there, they could hear the sound different from what they had properly heard.
Deshan, who was standing under the porch, frowned slightly, and he slowly entered the house and closed the door casually.
He took out the key, opened one of the boxes, and said as he opened the box: "From now on, you change places, come out and breathe." ”
The lid was open, and a pair of wizened hands rested on the edge of the box, as if trying to sit up.
It may have been lying in the box for too long, and it took a while for the man to sit up.
It was a woman, described as withered, and her actual age could not be seen.
She sat in the box, looked up, and looked curiously at Deshan who was standing in front of her.
"Hey, why are you getting old so quickly?" The woman tilted her head, innocent, and looked extremely weird.
"Nonsense, you crazy woman, didn't you see me the other day? I'll give you rice cakes. Deshan scolded.
"Rice cakes? Ah, rice cakes, I'm going to eat rice cakes, by the way, how did you get old? The woman asked with a grin.
"Phew, it wasn't me before, it was the fourth son, a madman, I don't know if you're really crazy or fake crazy." Deshan sighed and looked around the room, frowning again.
After the funeral of the fifth master, the old man took time to interrogate the woman to see if she was really crazy or pretending.
The old man only said that let him put the box in the study first, I'm afraid I forgot it, this woman is crazy, if she smashes the things in the study and tears it, it can't be said.
"Forget it, you'd better stay in the box, don't make any more noise, do you hear? It's the middle of the night, it's weird and scary. ”
After Deshan finished speaking, he picked up a plate of dim sum from the table, poured it on the woman, the woman cheered, lay in the box and picked up the spilled dim sum, Deshan closed the lid of the box and locked the woman again.
Deshan walked to the door, pushed open the door from the inside with one hand, and waved the other hand, and the palm wind passed everywhere, and the candle on the table of the eight immortals three zhang away was extinguished.
With the sound of the lock, Deshan slowly walked down the corridor and headed for the wing.
He and his two little servants lived in the east chamber, and there were originally a few guards living in the west chamber, and since the accident of the fifth master, these guards moved to the courtyard of the fifth chamber to protect the old man closely.
Now, in this Sanjin courtyard, there are only Deshan and his little servant, along with the two boxes.
Back in the house, Deshan didn't let the little servants serve, he sat on the kang, meditated quietly, ran a small week, and then went to wash and sleep.
The lights in the east chamber were finally extinguished, and the moonlight was sprinkled like mercury, and the empty stone floor shone with white light.
A petite figure jumped onto the roof like a tanuki and disappeared into the night.
No wonder there are only seven or eight guards inside and outside Yang Feng's courtyard, which is not as many as Yang Jincheng's.
It turns out that this eunuch-like guy is a master!
It was enough to have him, and those guards were nothing more than a number of people.
In the night, Shen Tong had several ups and downs, and people had already left the Bibo Garden.
She had quietly jumped in from the wall when the little guys had come in carrying the boxes.
The woman's voice heard by the little servants was really coming from the box, but what she heard in Deshan was from her covering her mouth.
Shrewd as Deshan was still fooled, mistakenly thinking that the voice was coming from the woman in the box.
That woman, he had only seen it once in the fifth master's study.
When the two big boxes were sent from the south, the news of Yang Jie's death had not yet come back, Yang Feng heard that the woman was a madman, so he asked Deshan to go over and take a look, but he didn't expect the woman to be crazy, not to mention asking about the edict from her mouth, even asking her what her surname was, and she couldn't tell clearly.
Deshan had no choice but to tell Yang Feng truthfully, and at this time, the news of Yang Jie's death came back.
Yang Feng didn't have the heart to care about this woman anymore, so he let her continue to be locked in the box, but she was released to eat and drink every night, and Yang Jinting and Ah Wang took care of her personally, without pretending to be anyone.
Tomorrow Yang Jinting and Ah Wang will go south, Deshan had to propose to Yang Feng to carry these two boxes into Bibo Garden, and let him take care of them, anyway, the funeral in the house is also done, you can ask a doctor to come to the woman to see if she is pretending to be crazy.
It's a pity that Shen Tong only heard the woman's voice and saw her hand, the woman has been sitting in the box, the box is huge, unless you stand next to the box, you can't see the woman's face at all.
Shen Tong was happy and sad at the same time, and his heart was mixed.
She was glad that she had found a Tibetan place on her first night in the Guogong Mansion, and sadly that she didn't know when she would have the next chance to see the woman again.
Deshan's martial arts are far from being comparable to her, not to mention that she is just a child now, even in her previous life, she can't be compared with Deshan.
With that trick of blowing the lamp in the air, she can't catch up with it even if she practices for another ten years.
It's a blessing to be able to walk around under Deshan's nose today.
This whole night, Shen Tong has been wandering around the mansion, and it will be dawn in another hour, after dawn, the spirit shed in the mansion will be removed, everything will be on track, and there will be no more noise like tonight, and a little girl like her who suddenly appeared will be easily found out.
Therefore, in the future, during the day, it is best for her to hide and act at night.
She had to find a place to hide during the day.
Suddenly, Shen Tong remembered the little guy just now.
The corners of her mouth curled up into a small smile.
It turned out to be that little guy, it turned out to be him.
When did he get out of that stinking cave?
She clearly saw the scene of the little guy falling outside the door of the study, it was pretended, and when the little guy fell for the second time, he was observing the situation in the house.
Master, amazing, even Deshan has been fooled.
Looking at the origin of this person, it should be not small, at least he has a background than himself, if he wants to enter the mansion, there are six tall beggars to escort him, and looking at his ease in the Guogong Mansion, it is obviously not like himself to run around, he can even find such an errand as carrying a box, he must have done his homework a long time ago, at least, he knows the shape of the Guogong Mansion well, or, he still has an inside line in the mansion.
The errand of moving boxes is not something that can be taken by him casually.
It may seem like a coincidence, but in fact, most of the things in this world that seem to be coincidental are carefully arranged.
He wanted to enter the Bibo Garden, so someone arranged for him to carry the boxes, because these boxes were to be carried into the Bibo Garden.
It's that guard, Zhang Si'er, this is his people, they are in a group.
