"It's like ...... Wounded by some kind of thorny vine. ”

Su Qi was shocked: "Isn't it a tree spirit vine monster?" ”

"It doesn't have to be a demon." Mu Yunsong got up and paced, "There are a lot of strange people and strange people in the rivers and lakes, so there are also some rare ice blade hidden weapons. I always feel that there are not so many ghosts in the world, and most of them are just suspicious of dark ghosts. ”

Su Qi secretly stuck out his tongue behind his back: This is the prince, you are lonely and unheard, if you have read books such as "The Great Wilderness Sutra", "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and "Western Monsters", you will know that the birds and beasts, plants, trees, gold and stones in the world can all become essences, and the images are different, and they are strange......

Recalling that he read "Western Monster Chronicles" back then, and was so frightened by the monster illustrated book in it that he had nightmares for a few nights, Su Qi couldn't help but shudder.

While talking, seeing that Steward Fan brought a group of maids in, Mu Yunsong felt that it was not appropriate to stay here and listen to the indecent encounters of others, so he took the initiative to go to the back mountain to investigate, and met with Su Qiyou in the flower hall.

After Mu Yunsong left, Su Qi began to ask the women about the details of the attack, but all the women were twisting and pinching, and several young maids were even more embarrassed, hiding their faces and crying.

Su Qi was so troubled by the "hum" and "no longer alive" that he gave up the original intention of asking one by one, and asked questions instead to answer: "Have any of you seen the appearance of the man in black?" ”

All the women shook their heads, and one of them said boldly: "The one who killed that day was wearing a long crow-black cloak, and his face seemed to have a black mask, where can I see my appearance?" Another hated and said: "Such a lewd thief must be born with crooked melons and cracked dates, bald heads and buckteeth, and no face to see people!" ”

All the women nodded in unison, Su Qi was depressed, but he heard a low and weak voice in the corner: "Actually...... No. ”

Su Qi instantly grasped the hope, and saw that it was a middle-aged woman in her forties, who was twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands, but the expression on her face was different from that of the women.

"This sister, have you seen the appearance of the man in black?"

The woman wanted to speak and stopped, but suddenly lowered her head, and two crimson blush rose on her cheeks.

Someone whispered on the side: "I heard that the thief stayed in Mama Li's house for a while and was surrounded by all the family." Could it be ......"

"Don't talk nonsense! That day, Mama Li was so frightened by that demon that she wanted to die......"

There's a story in this...... Su Qi looked at Mama Li and thought, so he simply asked the other women to go back for the time being, leaving Mama Li to ask.

"Now it's just the two of us, is Sister Li willing to tell the truth?"

Mama Li still lowered her head, her chest rose and fell violently, obviously fighting with herself, Su Qi was not in a hurry, she took a sip of tea and waited slowly.

After a while, Mama Li raised her eyes and pleaded: "If I say it, the mage will not laugh at me, let alone spread it!" ”

"Sister, don't worry, I'm a very strict person."

Mama Li was still twisting the hem of her clothes, and Ai Ai said: "Actually, I have seen the appearance of the man in black......

In the middle of the night, I was sleeping soundly when I woke up to a burning sensation in my chest. As soon as Clinker opened his eyes, he saw a man in black standing in front of my bed, leaning down and pressing a hand to me...... "Her round face was as red as a ripe apple."

Although this plot is quite sensitive and embarrassing, Su Qi couldn't help but interject and ask: "He just pressed his hand on your chest and didn't do anything else?" ”

Mama Li simply covered her face with her hands and nodded quickly, "I was terrified, yelling 'Let go of me!'" While dancing and struggling, he unexpectedly tore off half of the mask on his face! ”

"Oh?!" Su Qi gasped, "Did you frighten you?" "Dafan is a charmer, and the like has a careless understanding of people's aesthetics, and when he transforms into a human form, he is just casually long, and his appearance is like a joke, and he can't see much.

"No, in fact, he looks ......" Mama Li's face became more and more red, and she barely heard the words, "It's a good-looking ......"

Mama Li said, a shy smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, and she quickly stretched out her hands to cover her eyes.

Looking at the half-aged in her forties in front of her, her face was crimson and she was like a girl's spring, Su Qi was really a little uncomfortable, so she coughed lightly twice: "Then what?" ”

And then ...... I was confused for a while, and said to the man in black: Lang Jun has polluted the innocence of the slave family today, so he ...... You will be responsible for the slaves! ”

Burst! Su Qi squirted out a sip of tea: Your age, you are quite unrestrained!

Mama Li became more and more embarrassed: "Master Mo Xiao, I was born poor, I was sold to the Fan family by my father and mother at the age of ten to be a subordinate, the marriage is not controlled by Lao Tzu Niang, and I am a high-spirited person, the little maids in the family are not eye-catching, come and go, the good years have passed, and I am still an old girl to be married."

Although it was only a glimpse of the night that night, I felt that he was the person I had dreamed of in the spring, so I couldn't help myself for a while......"

"Understand, understand......" Su Qi felt that this Mama Li would rather lack an indiscriminate emotional outlook, as well as love at first sight with a controlled appearance, but she was very close to Huang Siniang, I don't know if she is interested in making a girlfriend friend.

"What did the man say?" Su Qi was really curious.

He didn't say anything, just stared at me for a moment. I was stared at by him, and I was so frightened that he turned around and left, and vaguely said: It's not you. ”

"Not you?" Su Qi turned these three words in his mouth a few times: What does this mean?

"I was in a hurry, so I jumped up and grabbed the horn of his cloak and cried out, 'You want to go away when you get cheap, how can there be such a reason in the world?' Mama Li lowered her head again and complained, "It was my shout that summoned the night patrol housekeepers......

Su Qi roughly understood: this is a tragic story of a concubine Yilang's ruthlessness, "Then they all said that you were scared to death by the man in black?" ”

"Actually, it'......s not scared," Mama Li lamented, "The slave family has lived for half a lifetime, and it is easy to meet a man who falls in love at first sight, but he is ruthless to the slave family, and I am so sad that I am going to die......"

Su Qi was speechless, and didn't want to ask anything more about this infatuated aunt, so she asked her to take her around the inner courtyard, and asked the maids and women who were attacked in turn to ask about the situation. There were more than 20 women who had been attacked by the Fan family, and after Su Qi finished asking, he looked up and found that the sky was dark.

It was estimated that it was already a unitary time, and remembering that he had made an appointment with Mu Yunsong to meet in the flower hall, Su Qi said goodbye to Mama Li and turned around and went to the flower hall.

The women who were attacked in the Fan family ranged from teenage maids to old mothers in their forties and fifties. And they were surprisingly consistent in their account of the attack, they all woke up when they felt an unbearable burning in their chests in their sleep, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a tall man in black standing in front of the bed, pressing a hand on their chest...... Just hold it down, and there is no touching or other indecent behavior.

This kind of behavior is not so much like a thief picking flowers as it is like ......

Su Qi thought wildly, but found that the more he walked, the more confused he became, the Fan family's garden was designed in a disorderly manner, like a ghost hitting a wall. After Su Qi went around and returned to the flowerbed that he had just passed by, he thought about whether to ask the old woman who was tending to the flowers and plants in the flowerbed and ask for directions.

"Old mother, may I ask the flower hall ......?"

Hearing Su Qi's voice, the busy figure of the old woman paused, slowly turned her head, and glanced up at Su Qi.

Su Qi's eyes suddenly widened: she had never seen such an old person.

In the "Western Monster Chronicle", it is recorded that a kind of monster called "mummy" in the West is probably a person who uses drugs to make his body incorruptible after death, and his body is covered with white cloth strips, which can be controlled by evil arts, and it is extremely difficult to subdue, similar to the zombies of the Eastern Soil.

At this moment, looking at the old woman in front of him, Su Qi's mind suddenly appeared The picture of the mummy in the book, but the old woman was wrapped in a pair of dry bones, not a white strip of cloth, but a withered, cracked, and spotted human skin.

Looking at the big black scissors in her hands shaped like dry bones, Su Qi secretly swallowed her saliva, wondering whether to continue to pretend to be calm and ask for directions, or to follow her heart and turn around and run away, when a gust of night wind blew down the hood on the old woman's head, revealing an extremely long and snow-white hair, floating strangely in the wind.

The back of Su Qi's neck was cold, he subconsciously took two steps back, and said "bothered" in his mouth, then turned around and wanted to leave, but the clinker staggered, and was actually grabbed by the old woman with one hand of the skirt.

That's a little scary...... Su Qi turned his head slowly, and saw that the old woman's withered yellow eyes suddenly lit up a little, as if the candle that was about to burn out suddenly lit up again, and muttered hoarsely: "Fourth sister, ......"

"What...... What fourth sister ...... "To be honest, the appearance of this old woman is even more terrifying than ordinary ghosts, Su Qi pulled out the corner of her skirt from her hand, and her mouth was a little scoopy, "You, you, you recognize the wrong person!" ”

"Fourth sister...... The fourth sister ...... "The terrible old woman didn't give up, staggered to her feet, with long snow-white hair, and approached Su Qi step by step, more and more like the mummy described in the book.

Wouldn't it really be a monster...... Seeing the old woman's bone-like hands stretched out to her again, Su Qi reached out and touched a charm, but there was a drum in his heart: I don't know my own talisman, can I suppress the Western demon......

Seeing that the old woman's fingertips were only more than three feet away from her nose, Su Qi was about to make a move, but suddenly heard the voice of Steward Fan on the side: "What are you going to do old thing?!" ”

The "mummy" in front of him immediately stopped moving, and timidly lowered his hand.

"This is a distinguished guest invited by the old lady! Can you afford to be disturbed? ”

The old woman looked at Steward Fan, who was angry and hurried over, and lowered her head with a frightened face.

"Go, go, go! Go back to your flower garden and stay there, and then come out and make trouble, and I'll kick you out of the house!" ”

Steward Fan scolded and drove the old woman away like a dog. Su Qi glanced at the old woman's stumbling back, and Fang Cai's horror was replaced by pity: "Steward Fan doesn't blame her, she didn't treat me like this." ”

"The old flower slave in the family, I also saw that she was dying of cold and starvation, so I kindly took her in. This old woman doesn't know how old she is, she can only serve flowers and plants, and she eats in the house, but now she is getting older and more confused. Steward Fan sighed with emotion, and asked uneasily, "She didn't scare the mage like this, did she?" ”

It's kind of scary...... Su Qi made a fearless look on his face: "Look at what you said, this mage has seen countless demons and monsters, and he can still be scared by an old man?" Inexistent! ”
