Chapter 50: The Blind Old Lady
The two found a place by the pond in the back mountain, and Yanyu and Ling'er put the fish basket beside them, set the hook and bait and stepped aside.
Chen Jinghao threw the hook into the river, this fishing requires patience, she wants to know how long this princess with the golden key can last.
"Ah, what kind of eyes do you have, doubting my concentration?" Nalan Chun looked up and saw Chen Jinghao's eyes.
"What's the matter, I just want to know Ah Chun, you are a princess, it is said that there are no ponds and lakes on the Turkic side, why do you also like fishing?" Chen Jinghao felt inexplicable.
"Actually, I used to stay here for a few years, when E-Niang was still there, and no one dared to care about me, and then I would run out and play everywhere."
"I once went out to play by chance and got lost, when I was young, I was young and frivolous, I was not afraid of anything, and I saw someone sitting by the stream fishing, and I went to sit with him for an afternoon."
"Ah Hao, to be honest, I really envy you." Nalan Chun looked at Chen Jinghao seriously.
"What do I have to envy, isn't it just a different life." Chen Jing smiled and added in her heart, if you knew my past life, maybe you wouldn't be envious.
"I envy you for having a husband who really loves you, and there are many people who love you, and I, according to my brother's words, am a political marriage item that can be exchanged at any time."
Nalan Chun laughed bitterly at himself, he didn't even see the shadow of his brother after coming to the capital, and he was afraid that he would become more and more dissatisfied with himself.
Chen Jing opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort her, "Ah Chun, a beautiful girl like you will definitely be cherished, believe me." ”
Seeing Chen Jing's serious appearance, Nalan Chun smiled dumbly, and continued to sit and fish, originally she came to accompany her, but she didn't expect her to comfort herself in turn.
……
Yamen.
Eleven found out in Causeway Bay that there was a left-handed man who was working as a cook in the mines, and that he was selling pork before he went.
"Cook, kill pigs?" Mu Bai thought of the murderer's cruel way of killing, and suspected that this person was also possible, because judging from the cleanliness and cruelty of the knife technique, this person may be the murderer.
"Master Hou, let's go to that house and have a look."
By the time they reached the village, it was already dark, and the whole village was empty and gloomy and terrifying.
"Boss, I'm afraid." The fat man dragged Mu Bai's clothes, and the weirdness of this big night was infiltrating.
"Fatty, come here and stand behind Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu covers you." Jin Nian asked the fat man to stand behind her, and she followed closely behind Jin Chen.
They followed Eleven to a dilapidated house and stopped, and saw two half-old and dilapidated houses.
Jinchen lit a torch, standing in the courtyard, it can be seen that the thatched house seems to have been uninhabited for a long time, the wooden fence in the yard has been eroded and rotten, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and there is not much thatch left on the roof, the whole thatched house has been tilted, looking trembling and towering, giving people a feeling that it will collapse if you touch it slightly.
"Big brother, is there anyone living here?" Jin Nian asked unconvincedly, there was no candle flame in the house, and there was no life at all.
Eleven said, "There is an old man living in this house, and she is usually home alone. ”
"Knock knock."
"Is anyone home, please?" Eleven walked over and knocked on the door, hearing footsteps inside and stepping aside.
"Who?" There was a hoarse sound in the room, accompanied by an intermittent dragging sound.
When the door was opened, by the light of the fire, it became clear to everyone that it was a blind old lady, her eyes were dull, and her face was grayish-yellow and wrinkled, like a large piece of bark, full of ravines.
Jin Nian pulled the fat man and hid behind him, forget it, this is also terrifying.
Jinchen spoke first, "This grandma, we are your son's friends, but we haven't seen him for the past few days, so we want to come over and ask." ”
The blind old lady turned around and went into the house, "Well, come in and sit, I'm blind and can't see you, just sit down by yourself." ”
Jinchen entered the house, which was damp and musty, except for a few shabby pieces of furniture.
"Sit down, I'll light the candles." The blind old lady walked to the table and lit the candle with skillful movements.
"Ah, what is that?" Jin Nian saw a black shadow on the ground, and ran behind Mu Bai in fear, pulling his clothes tightly.
"It's not just a cat." Mu Bai was speechless, what was there to be afraid of.
"Hehe, you're naughty again, why don't you go into the house quickly." The blind old lady stepped on the black cat, and the black cat rolled her eyes and looked at her, and ran into the house without a word.
