Chapter 118: Something Strange Happens in the City
Ji Wuyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, if it weren't for his concentration at this moment...
In the next second, he grabbed her wrist instead, and his tone was slightly cold, "Bold fox demon, dare to charm the world and absorb people's essence, if my master comes, he will definitely abolish your thousand-year-old cultivation!" I see that your cultivation is not easy, so I advise you to stop and leave quickly! ”
"Hehe..."Nan Qiao laughed wildly and charmingly, the orchid finger slid from his chin to his neck, all the way to his chest, she leaned close to his lips, "Did you see me sucking sperm with your own eyes?" ”
Ji Wuyu's heart was beating violently, looking at the red lips so close, in order to continue acting with her, God knows how he could hold back, he ruthlessly turned his face away, and secretly scolded the little goblin!
"Nope!"
"Then how do you conclude that it was me who did it, could it be that the little Taoist took a fancy to the slave family, so he was entangled?"
Her voice echoed in her ears like a magic sound, Ji Wuyu took a deep breath and clenched her fists, as if she was enduring something,
"The fox demon Hugh is talking nonsense!"
Nan Qiao was not annoyed when he heard this, but hooked his lips and smiled, and his fingertips gently stroked his face, "Little Taoist, struggling is useless, you should obediently follow the slave family back to the fox hole!" ”
After speaking, she exhaled lightly at him, only to see that her eyes were shining, and the brilliance was suffocating, and it was very impressive, like the eyes he had when he broke into her boudoir that day, but he was more conscious than that day, and he realized how difficult it was at the moment.
He was bewitched by the fox fairy as in the play, and was held by her hand and left the stage like a puppet.
Back in the dressing room behind the stage, the slightly dim environment slightly covered the emotions on the faces of the two, Nan Qiao quickly let go of his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head and sneer, "I didn't expect you to look like a little Taoist priest!" ”
Little fox!
He didn't answer, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "You wrote this?" ”
She found a place to sit down in front of the dresser, and began to remove the silver hair ornament on her head, "I can only say that I revised it, the original love flavor of this script is too strong, and I added a lot of things to it." ”
He walked behind her and looked at the girl in the bronze mirror, faintly expectant, "When will you write half of it?" ”
Nan Qiao thought about it, I'm afraid she didn't have time recently, and she didn't expect this plot to be the main one, at most, she would rehearse this after the theater rehearsed other scripts, so she was not in a hurry to write the second half of the plot.
"I don't know, I'll talk about it later when I have time!"
As he spoke, when he was taking off a hairpin, the silver flower on it hooked a few strands of hair, Nan Qiao was about to forcibly take it off, the back of his hand was warm, he took her hand away with his big palm, and carefully cut out her hair,
Originally, there were many words, and after thinking about it, I finally only said this sentence, "When you finish writing the next part, we will finish the story!" ”
Nan Qiao looked at his serious appearance in the mirror and smiled again, "Little brother, you won't take the drama seriously, right?" ”
He didn't speak until he finished removing the hair ornament on her head, and the pair of bony hands shuttled between her hair, as if they were going to coil her hair, and the temperature between her fingers came from her hair from time to time, Nan Qiao stood up nervously, turned around and said,
"That's... Little brother, you can also go to the next room to change this clothes, and we'll leave later, by the way, where is your house? ”
When she is nervous, she will talk a lot, and I don't know how this habit was formed.
He didn't answer, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight smile, "I'll go change my clothes first." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Nan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, what's wrong with her? In the past, Mu Baizhuo often used her hands and feet, and she was never so nervous, and besides, she was not a decent ancient person, and she still swam with men in swimsuits in modern times, when did she become so hypocritical.
Without thinking much about it, she took off her costume and changed into the light green dress.
When she returned to Nalan Mansion, it was almost dusk, and in Zilan Garden at this time, the county lord of Qingyi had been waiting for her for a long time.
When he saw her, Qingyi stood up, "Wuyu, you're finally back!" ”
Seeing her sad face, Nan Qiao asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Qingyi sighed, "You don't know, the second son of the Imperial Doctor's family died suddenly last night, and he took pity on Concubine Yan and made a marriage contract with the second son!" ”
Nan Qiao frowned slightly, "How can this be, what kind of disease do you have?" ”
"I heard that I vomited a few days ago, but the doctor saw it but couldn't see anything, and thought it was a bad thing, but I didn't expect that it was only a few days, and I suddenly went like this, it's really pitiful Concubine Yan!" Qingyi shook her head helplessly, "I've already gone to see Concubine Yan, my eyes are swollen from crying, I persuaded her to no avail, so I wanted to come to you and ask, is there any way to make her feel better!" ”
Nan Qiao suddenly remembered that he saw the group of people wearing linen and filial piety this morning, "Was it mourned early this morning?" ”
Qingyi shook her head unexpectedly and replied, "Listening to Concubine Yan, Yin Shi was mourned just after dawn. ”
In other words, the coffin she saw in the morning was not the second son of the Imperial Doctor's family, and two people died in a row in the city, isn't it too coincidental!
But when people die, don't coffins usually stop in the mourning hall for a day, why are they buried in such a hurry.
"Why is the burial so urgent?" She asked.
Qingyi couldn't say this, Nan Qiao only felt that this matter was strange everywhere, and somehow thought of hearing those conversations in the carriage last night.
Three?
What does it mean, is it three dead?
In order to confirm his conjecture, Nan Qiao left Qingyi to eat in his yard, and waited until it was dark to send her away, Qingyi's carriage just left, Nan Qiao thought about going out to figure out the matter, and it was inconvenient to go out in women's clothes, so he had to go back to the room and change into men's clothes, and then left from the backyard.
Generally, it is best to find out the news in places such as inns and teahouses.
Casually found an inn and found a vacant seat in the corner of the first floor, Nan Qiao pulled the brim of his hat, covered the magnolia flower in the center of his eyebrows, and asked Xiao Er for two plates of dim sum and a pot of tea.
After a while, Xiao Er came up with tea, Nan Qiao put a silver ingot on the table, changed his voice and whispered,
"This little brother, I want to ask, has there been any strange things happening in the city recently?"
The little er's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he also lowered his voice, "Guest officer, don't say it, it's really there!" Xiao Er raised his eyes and looked at the first floor where only a few people were eating, "There was a girl who came to the Drunken Immortal Building not long ago, she looked stunning, and she played the pipa well, which attracted many literati and scholars, and I heard that after listening to her music, I can sleep well every night..."
Nan Qiao coughed dryly a few times and interrupted him, "Let's say something else!" ”
"Oh, something else..."Xiao Er thought for a while, "Recently, several people have died of strange diseases, at first they vomited inexplicably, and then they died one after another, some people say that it is because the temple outside the city is in disrepair all year round, the incense is bleak, and it is the gods in the sky who are punishing the people in the lower realm!" ”
"Can't the doctor see if you're sick?" Nan Qiao asked.
Xiao Er agreed, "That's why it's a strange disease!" ”
This inn is just near the official road, and if you want to go out of the city to be buried, you will basically pass by here, and the little two must know how many people died today.
"Do you know how many people died today?"
Xiao Er thought for a while, "It seems that there are two of them!" This disease is menacing, don't hurt us little people! ”
Nan Qiao thought for a moment and asked, "What time does your inn open for business?" ”
Xiao Er said seriously, "I usually get up at midnight, and then start preparing to open the door to do business!" ”
She asked Qingyi before, the son of the imperial doctor was mourned after Yinshi, so the inn had not opened for business at this time, so the three of them were right.
"By the way, don't you have to stop the mourning hall for a day before burying a person when he dies?" Nan Qiao asked again.
Xiao Er wasn't busy anyway, so he simply sat down and answered for her, "Isn't it, guest officer, I'll be honest with you, two days ago a distant cousin of mine died in such an unknown way, if it weren't for relatives, I wouldn't know about it, I heard that after the corpse died for a few hours, the corpse worm would crawl out, which was really disgusting, so as long as this person died, he would find time to bury it quickly!" ”
"Isn't it common for corpses to rot for a long time before giving birth to corpse worms, it's so strange!"
Nan Qiao got goosebumps just thinking about that scene, and after inquiring about the same, she pushed the silver on the table, and took out some broken silver and gave it to Xiao Er, which was regarded as a refreshment and a reward.
Xiao Er happily took the silver, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "If the guest officer has something, even if he is called a small one!" ”
Nan Qiao nodded slightly, after Xiao Er retreated, she got up and walked outside, ready to go out of the city to have a look, but when she passed by the Drunken Immortal Building, she suddenly heard a wonderful pipa sound inside, Nan Qiao stopped, listened for a while, only to feel that the pipa sound was gentle and graceful, with a fresh and concentrating effect, and the moon soul has the same effect, but this song can not achieve the effect of hypnosis, can only calm the nerves, it is not bad to listen to more, no wonder those sons and brothers will come to listen!
Nan Qiao didn't stay any longer, she bought a horse in the city, and the paper money that had been scattered in the city during the day had obviously been cleaned up, and when she rode outside the city, she found that there were traces of paper money, so she rode a horse and followed those traces.
After riding a horse for more than half an hour, in the depths of the forest, I noticed a bright light in front of me, and if I looked closely, it was the light of a torch.
Sure enough, it's greasy!
Nan Qiao didn't dare to step forward again, so he could only dismount and sneak towards that place.
She hid behind a large tree, and saw several people digging graves, which were new graves, and the coffin board was exposed after a few moments of digging.
She was looking at it vigorously, but she didn't know that a black shadow was approaching behind her at this moment, her waist was tight, Nan Qiao's nerves were tense, and she subconsciously pulled out the shadow and stabbed at the person behind her, who knows, she was restrained before she stabbed the person's wrist, as if this person knew her tricks.
There was a wind blowing in his ears, Nan Qiao looked up and stared at the black shadow in front of him, after all, because it was too dark to see the person in front of him, he only felt that he was a head taller than her, and was about to open his mouth to ask who he was, when his shoulder was pushed vigorously, and his whole body was already against the trunk of the tree at this moment.
