"Death invitation?" Mu Jingzhu's brows moved slightly, and he asked, "How is the invitation?" ”

"This villain doesn't know, but I overheard the adult and the master mention it, but as for what, I didn't see it. But the adults also began to worry from that time, and they all lost several pounds. ”

"Huh?" Qu Youying smiled unceremoniously, "He's all fat like that, and he's still thin?" ”

Xiao Wang also knew that the county master was very fat, so he just twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Two distinguished guests, this matter should not have been made by the little one, please pretend not to know, otherwise the lord will definitely punish me, the small family-"

"There are old and young people to take care of, right!" Qu Youying interrupted him, and when he saw him nodding, he waved his hand impatiently, "Got it, you go back first!" ”

"Thank you, thank you."

Xiao Wang's face was overjoyed, and he thanked him and left in a hurry.

Qu Youying yawned, touched her hungry stomach, and pulled Mu Jingzhu's sleeve, "What are you still looking at?" People are gone, I'm hungry, go to eat. ”

"Don't you think she's going too fast?"

Mu Jingzhu's cold words made Qu Youying's turning movement stagnate, and she turned back and looked at him, "Fast?" ”

"Since I came out, she has been walking except for once."

"And then?"

"Every step was steady, very slow, and at this speed, it was impossible for her to walk from in front of us to the end of the street and then lose sight of her figure, with the skill we had just spoken."

"But maybe she went fast when we weren't looking?"

"I don't rule it out."

"And what are you suspicious of?"

"I'm suspicious—" Mu Jingzhu turned and walked into the restaurant, and instead of answering the question, he said, "She has become the target of public criticism, why did she appear in a crowded place in broad daylight?" ”

Qu Youying followed him into the restaurant, and when she heard this, she held her chin with her right hand, "Maybe where is she going?" Why don't we go along and take a look? ”

"There's no hurry. There are many people during the day, and it is said at night. ”

So the two of them were in the guest room all afternoon, Mu Jingzhu was checking the only news at hand, and Qu Youying was sleeping.

She was really sleeping, because she was frightened by a ghost last night, and she didn't sleep well, and at the moment when she got out of the meal, she was prone to tiredness, and she didn't wake up until the time of the lamp.

After she woke up, she was hungry again, so she called the shopkeeper to get some food, and then went to the next door to find Mu Jingzhu, but found that he was not in the room.

"Where did you go?"

Qu Youying looked at the empty room, saw the second little guy passing by outside the door, and hurriedly stopped, "Have you seen the guests in this room?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment before saying, "Ah, I see." This boy also told me to wait for you to wake up and bring you a message. ”

"What?"

"Tell you to wait for him, and don't go anywhere."

Qu Youying frowned, didn't speak, and when she saw the tray in the shop's second-hand shop, she directly reached out and took it, "Give it to me!" ”

"Okay. If the little boy has any other commands, just say it. ”

"Hmm."

Qu Youying nodded, took the food, and walked into Mu Jingzhu's room.

Since he won't let her go to him, then she will eat and drink here and wait for him to come back!

But this wait, I waited until the time of the child. Because she had slept enough before, Qu Youying was not sleepy at all now.

But she waited so long, it was really boring, and there was some anxiety that gradually emerged from the bottom of her heart.

"Why haven't you come back!" She walked from one end of the room to the other, looking at the dark night outside, "If I don't come back, should I go to him?" Maybe it's some danger on the way? ”

She thought about it, and walked to the door, and before she could open her hands, she stopped again.

"No! I'm not familiar with this place, and there's no one outside at the moment, so it's useless to ask for directions, and if I get lost, won't I make trouble for him? ”

With that in mind, she returned to her chair and waited. Later, when she was hungry, she went downstairs to find the shopkeeper for supper.

When the shopkeeper heard that she was going for supper, he asked her if she was eating in her room or downstairs.

Qu Youying looked around the Xuanfu Building and decided to have a supper in the hall.

Because it is the largest restaurant in Yunyang Township, there are many customers coming and going, so the restaurant is regularly prepared for supper.

The shopkeeper quickly brought a bowl of noodles and some delicious side dishes.

"Childe, give."

"Thank you." Qu Youying smelled the fragrance of noodles, lowered her head and took a sip of soup, and praised, "Your cooks here have good skills!" It's delicious. ”

How do you know that the shopkeeper scratched his head embarrassedly, "This...... Actually, I did it. Because the cook had something to do at home tonight, I went out of the kitchen myself. ”

"Not bad! The craftsmanship is good, really. ”

In the face of such praise from the guests, the shopkeeper was very shy and stood aside at a loss.

Qu Youying glanced at him, her eyes moved, she picked up the teapot and teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea, and put it in front of the shopkeeper, then she pointed to the bench next to her and said, "If you don't mind, sit down and rest!" I see you're pretty busy, but the boss isn't here anyway. ”

Because of the big restaurant, it is busy, so it is very hard to be a buddy.

Therefore, in the face of such kindness, it was a little difficult to refuse, and under Qu Youying's repeated invitations, he reluctantly sat down.

Qu Youying smiled slightly, although she was dressed as a man, but when she laughed, her face was extraordinarily sweet, and the shopkeeper always felt embarrassed when she looked at her, so she looked away slightly.

Qu Youying smiled, and suddenly saw a red lantern hanging at the door of the inn, and she clearly remembered that when the day came, it was still white.

So she pointed to the lantern and asked, "Do your lanterns hang differently in the morning and evening?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the direction of her finger and explained, "That's right, didn't you also see that person walking past the door of the store this afternoon?" ”

Qu Youying thought for a while in her head before she thought of who he was talking about, nodded, and asked, "Is there anything related to the two?" ”

"Actually, strictly speaking, it doesn't matter, it's just that the boss is superstitious, and I think this will make me feel more stable!"

Qu Youying didn't understand, and asked while eating noodles, "Can you say something specific?" ”

"Actually, the lantern hanging in front of this Xuanfu Building has always been a white lantern with the word Xuanfu written on it, and basically many inns and restaurants are of this color. But since the incident in Hongo, I don't know where the boss saw it, saying that if he wants to expel evil and ominous, he will hang up a red lantern after dark, red is fire, and the flame can burn everything. Didn't you pass by the door like a cloud today! The boss found out, so he ordered me to replace the lantern, as you can see. ”

Qu Youying nodded slowly, since the topic had turned to this matter, she no longer hesitated, and was ready to ask some things from the shopkeeper's mouth.

So, she asked, "I heard that Ruyun and Liang Yuan, the dead son of the Liang family, entered into a secret marriage, but isn't the secret marriage a dead man and a dead man?" How can a living man marry a dead man? Such a thing, Ruyun is she willing? ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper subconsciously looked to see if there were other people in the hall, and only after making sure that there were no others, he lowered his voice and said.

"Actually, here's the thing. I have a relative who is a neighbor of Ruyun, and when Xiangpo came to the door, it was said that Ruyun was unwilling. Originally, after Ruyun refused this matter, Xiangpo did not appear again, but a few days later, Xi Po came to the door and said that she wanted to tell Ruyun a family affair, and the other party's family conditions were good, so she wanted Ruyun to go over and do a continuation. ”

"And she agreed?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "Ruyun is good-looking, but she is an orphan girl, and she is honest, so after the people around her found out, they began to persuade her, saying that the family is good, even if it is a continuation of the string, the life will not be bad, so Ruyun agreed." ”

"Do you know who that family is?"

"It's a teacher in Yunyang Township, named Zhou Wu."

"Oh!" Qu Youying responded, lowered her head and ate her mouthful again, and continued to ask vaguely, "Then how did Ruyun marry Liang Yuan in the end?" ”

"Hey-" The shopkeeper sighed heavily, "At first, everyone thought that Zhou Wu was going to marry Ruyun, but how did they know that on the night of marriage, the bride's sedan chair was sent to the Liang family." Ruyun estimated that by the time he knew, it was already too late. After that, there was no news of her, until the seventh day after she got married, and the news that the Liang family was going to be buried together. At that time, I also thought it was strange, no one in the Liang family died, why did they have to be buried together! Later, I heard that Ruyun died, she married Liang Yuan, and the two were to be buried together after their deaths. ”

"But the so-called dead man came alive on the third day after her burial, and not only lived, but also got up from the coffin and returned to her home, and from then on, every seven days, a person died because of her, and she herself knew nothing, right?"

Faced with Qu Youying's words, the shopkeeper also felt incredible.

"You say that a person is dead, how can he come back to life? And the coffin is sealed with nails, and it is covered with thick soil, even if you are a martial arts master, you may not be able to break through the ground, right? So the moment Ruyun came back, everyone felt that she was ominous. My relative said that every night he could hear the ghostly singing from Ruyun's house, and said that he saw Ruyun's petite figure in the house, and suddenly turned into a beast, which frightened him to move. ”

Qu Youying can understand that a woman has experienced everything so unbelievable, but in the eyes of many people, this is ominous, and estrangement is inevitable.

So she changed her tone and asked, "Then do you know about the 'death invitation'?" ”

"I really know that." Shopkeeper swept the expression just now, and became extremely talkative, she approached Qu Youying a little, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "It is said that every deceased person will have a note next to him, with the words 'Unjust Soul Asking for Life' written on it, and the time of payment on it is exactly seven days after the day of their death. ”

Qu Youying frowned, "This is a premeditated murder." ”
