Text Chapter 74: The old house causes trouble
The old past comes to the surface
The old house is anecdotal
"It turns out that there was a tragedy like that in that Wanfu Garden!" I took a sip of wine as I spoke, and then said leisurely, "Did the remaining seven people get caught?" ”
"Nope!" The old man shook his head and said.
"Not a single one?" I asked.
"It's not like there's no one!" The old man took a sip as he spoke, then put the roast duck with chopsticks on the plate in front of him, and said leisurely: "It's just that the person was not caught, but he himself came to bear the blame!" ”
"Guilty of pleading?" I asked curiously.
"That's right!" The old man put the duck skin on the plate into his mouth and chewed it carefully, "On the fifth day after the incident, a person suddenly appeared in front of the door of Wanfuyuan, and it is said that this person knelt in front of the door of Wanfuyuan for a long time, and knelt for a day and a night, and then someone saw him suddenly take out a short knife from his bosom and stab him in the chest. ”
A short knife, another short knife, and another deadly short knife.
"What kind of short knife is that?" I asked hurriedly.
"I don't know! No one could see exactly what kind of knife it was. The old man said lightly.
"Who is this person who died in front of the gate of Wanfuyuan?" I asked.
"It is said that he is the eldest brother who took the lead among the thirteen people. Some people say that he may have come to Wanfuyuan to apologize for his guilt because of the guilt in his heart, and some people say that he asked for his life because of evil ghosts, and it was the ghosts of more than 200 people in the Mu family who asked him to pay for his life. But no matter what, that person died in front of the gate of Wanfuyuan for no reason. The old man said.
"Where are the remaining six?" After I took a bite of food, I asked lightly.
"I don't know! No one knows where the remaining six have gone. The old man said. No one had seen those six men since that incident, and no one had heard of them. It's as if they never appeared in this world. ”
The wind blew into the house through the window, and the wind after the rain was always cool and fresh.
The air in the mountains and forests is far more than the bustling urban area, and the forest after the rain makes people feel like they are in a fairyland.
The cool and beautiful grass fragrance, the rich and heavy sequoia fragrance, is like the most moving perfume smell on the girl's body, which makes people intoxicated and nostalgic.
The night was already very deep, but I didn't feel the slightest sleep.
I just looked out the window in a daze.
The rain has gradually stopped.
But my thoughts couldn't stop.
My brain kept spinning, thinking about everything that had happened recently, thinking about the dead man in the Garden of Blessings, thinking about the intentions of the old man in the Garden of Blessings, and thinking about the origin of Xue Qing.
Weird things, weird places, weird people.
In just a few days, I have encountered so many strange things that ordinary people will never encounter in a lifetime, or even a few lifetimes.
These things are like a mess of things, and I want to find a clue in this mess, but no matter how much I think about it, there seems to be no connection between them at all.
First of all, how did Zuo Mu find me? What was he going to trade with me? Is it for the scroll in my hand, or for the object I brought out of the tomb of Yuk?
Secondly, Who killed Zuo Mu? What is this artificial? Why did he kill those people?
Third, who was the man in black who brought me to Wanfuyuan before? Why did he lead me to the Garden of Ten Thousand Blessings? Why did the people who died in the small building suddenly appear in the Garden of Ten Thousand Blessings? Could it be that these six people have anything to do with the destruction of Wanfuyuan back then?
Fourth, who is the old man in the Garden of Ten Thousand Blessings? How did he know I had six secret scrolls? Why is he looking for Xue Qing? Why was the place of trading in the Garden of Ten Thousand Blessings? Could it be that he is the surviving descendant of Wanfuyuan?
Finally, who is Xue Qing? Why did the old man look for her? What secrets does Xue Qing know? Or did you take something you shouldn't have? Why didn't she run? Why do you want to come back on your own? Did she know she couldn't run away? Or did you not want to run at all?
Too many things, too many questions, too many unbelievable.
I sighed and pushed open the window, hoping that the wind outside would blow in more, blowing away my worries and sorrows.
However, when I pushed the window open, my whole body was stunned.
The wind was still blowing, and the whole room was getting cold.
But now my people are colder than the wind.
The blood in my whole body seemed to be frozen in an instant, colder than snow, colder than ice.
Because, the moment I pushed open the window, I saw a person, a woman, a woman combing her hair.
It's not strange for a woman to comb her hair, but it's strange when a woman doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and sits on a stone bench in the courtyard to comb her hair.
Not only strange, but strangely very.
What's worse is that this woman is resting her head on the stone table beside her.
What's also terrible is that I actually know this woman, she is the girl who looks like Tang Wei who took me and Xue Qing into the house before.
"Hah! I don't sleep in the middle of the night, peeking at people combing their hair. It turns out that you are not a good person, you are a big bad guy. "I saw her, she obviously saw me, I didn't speak, but she spoke first.
She was still smiling, smiling first every word she said, and she was laughing happily.
However, she was laughing, but I couldn't laugh, not only couldn't I laugh, but my whole body was frozen.
Because, I have only heard such scenes in movies and stories about my grandfather scaring me when I was a child. I never thought I'd ever seen something like this in my life.
"Why don't you speak?" The girl held her head on the table with her left hand, gently combed her long flowing hair with her right hand, and giggled, "Am I too good-looking?" Are you stupid for a while? Or do you like me? ”
"I ......" I didn't know how to answer for a while when I heard her words. If it had been normal, in a different place, in a different way of meeting, I would not have been in this state. Because I'm not a man who hasn't seen a girl, and I'm not a person who blushes when I talk to a girl. But now, I really don't know how to answer her.
"What are you? Haha, did I say yes? The girl said with a smile. Since you don't speak, then you are acquiescing! Since you like me, I'll reluctantly agree! ”
She was still laughing and talking, but although she was speaking slowly, her hands were not slow at all.
I saw her hand like lightning, and with a sudden wave of her hand, she threw the head in her hand at me.
Although her shot was fast, the human head was even faster, and it was already in front of my eyes in the blink of an eye.
I had no choice but to reach out to catch it, the head was slippery and greasy, but somehow it was surprisingly light, and I took it in my hand as if I was holding a balloon, without any weight at all.
"Not good!" I was shocked.
And at this moment, the human head in my hand suddenly exploded with a "bang". Immediately afterward, a puff of lilac, smelly, fishy smoke spread from the inside of the head.
The human head seemed to be still laughing at the moment of the explosion. However, the laughter came from the headless man not far away, how could the headless man laugh? How can a headless man still be alive? Is there really a ghost in this world? Is it really a demon that harms people's lives?
Of course, there are no ghosts in this world!
Even if it is a rice dumpling that has been refined for thousands of years, there will definitely be no ghosts!
Ghosts, only in people's hearts.
And ghosts don't hurt people, and those who harm people are always just people.
The person in front of me is naturally not a ghost, she is a person, and she is a very beautiful woman.
The human head that exploded in my hand was only made of wax, which is why it was so light, and that was why so much smoke came out of it.
Smoke is a commonly used ecstasy in the drill shop that specializes in human trafficking in the lower eight gates. This kind of ecstasy has a nice name called Ten Thousand Miles of Desire to Break the Soul. But although its name is good, the people who smell it are not very pleasant.
I used to just hear that whoever it is, even if you are Tyson, smells this thousand miles and wants to break the soul, and your body is so soft that you can't even pick up a feather.
However, most of the time the legend is not very reliable, but this time it is an exception.
I saw the lilac smoke rise, and my whole body had already fallen.
The laughter was still there, but at this time, the laughter was no longer the silver bell-like smile, but suddenly turned into an old bitter smile.
Then, a headless man appeared in front of me, and he said with a wry smile, "Never trust what you see too much." ”
"Is this a warning? Or is it advice? I looked at him with a wry smile.
"Both." The headless man said as he took off his clothes.
Headless people, of course, can't speak, and people who can talk certainly have heads. The man, of course, has a head because he can speak.
And this person is the old man who asked for dinner before.
"Hey, there's really no such thing as a free lunch! I ate your food, drank your wine, and now you are being treated like this, which is really a loss! I sighed and looked at the old man and said, "What do you want to do with me?" Did you kill me? Or do you want to send me somewhere? ”
"I was going to send you somewhere! Now, though, I've changed my mind. The old man looked at me and said.
"Oh? Changed your mind? I asked, looking at him.
"Yes!" The old man looked at me and said.
"What did you change your mind?" I asked.
"I want you to marry my daughter." The old man said with a smile.
"Married? What if I don't want to? I asked with a smile.
"If you don't want to, then you'll have to die." The old man looked at me and said lightly: "Hey, you also know that in such a place, let alone a few people, even if there are hundreds of deaths, no one will find out!" ”
"That's true." I said.
"Therefore, I advise you to be aware of current affairs and say yes." The old man looked at me and said.
"I want to say yes, and I don't want to die. But......" I said, looking into the old man's eyes.
"But what?" The old man asked.
"But I still have a lot of things that are not wrong, there are still many friends who have not been rescued, and in the end, I don't like your daughter." I said with a wry smile.
"You don't like my daughter, don't you like your own life too?" The old man asked in surprise.
"There is only one life, of course I like it, not only do I like it, but I cherish it very much!" I said with a smile.
"But you've chosen a dead end!" The old man said.
"Who said I chose a dead end, who said I would die?" I spoke very slowly, but by the time I said the fourth word, my whole body had suddenly jumped out of bed, and then suddenly I struck the old man in the nose with a lightning strike.
