Chapter Forty-Six: Words Are Terrible
The drum tower where the body was found was at the West City Gate, and from there, there was a rather spectacular forest, and the people nearby called it Luoxia Forest.
The sunrise in the east, from the west down, whenever dusk, the sunset illuminates the western sky, such as the fairy waving all kinds of silk satin, enchanting and colorful, accompanied by the rolling of the forest sea, looking at the past from above, the straight people of beauty sigh that the creator is magical.
There are not only many trees in the Luoxia Forest, but also a lot of various animals and beasts, especially in the depths, there are some behemoths living in the depths, such as tigers, lions, wild boars and so on.
Under normal circumstances, even hunters do not dare to go deeper, and if they shoot some rabbits and roe de roe deer on the periphery, they will enter the middle junction at most, and then inside, they will not be able to guarantee the safety of life.
In addition to the threat of various beasts, there is also a layer of mist miasma in the center of the forest, the miasma is poisonous, penetrates from the skin, mouth and nose, and hurts the lungs and intestines in a light coma, and the serious ones die.
Therefore, people who cut wood, collect medicines, or occasionally go to pick mushrooms and other wild vegetables, are also active in the outermost area.
Chen Biandan is an ordinary woodcutter in Changzhou City, and as usual, he went out with an axe at the first ray of fish belly white in the sky.
At this time, the sky is bright, the streets are beginning to be crowded, and the wonton stalls have begun to steam, awakening the vitality of the whole street.
Still preparing to set off from the west gate of the city, as soon as Chen Bian Dan walked to the city gate, he felt a cold wind pouring into the back of his neck, and he couldn't help but shiver, raised his head and scolded God.
As soon as he looked up, he saw something shaking in the top drum tower. I squinted and looked up for a long time, and the more I looked, the more wrong it became, and I hurriedly went to find the little brother who was guarding the door.
The two little brothers who were originally guarding the city gate were quite impatient, and they kept watch all night, and they just arrived at the hour of their shift, and they were ready to go back to sleep to make up for sleep, what are you kid doing.
Chen Bian was in a hurry, and immediately said: "No, sir, there seems to be a ...... in the drum tower."
"What's there, you Chen Biandan, go and go, if you want to get out of the city, hurry up."
The population of Changzhou City is said to be a lot less, not much to say, a name like Chen Bian Dan is more distinctive, and life is completely regular, that is, people who go out at this hour every morning, it is not difficult to remember him.
If he hadn't known that this kid was honest by nature and would never joke around, the two guards kicked out directly.
"Ouch, Brother Wang, go take a look, there seems to be someone inside! It's still floating! After Chen Biantan said this, his face turned white.
"Drifters? Immortals? ”
"Hahahaha~ I see that this kid didn't wake up, and his brain is broken."
The drum tower above has been abandoned since it was struck by lightning last summer, and a palm-sized hole was split from the middle, and they also reported to the prefect, but because of various things, and the gang of thieves in Taigong Mountain have been making trouble for more than half a year, Zhou Shaoqing has not bothered to care about this trivial matter, and the repair operation has also been delayed, and it is temporarily vacant, and no one is allowed to pass, in case it accidentally collapses and kills.
"I don't think it's a fairy, it's like a ...... Ghost. The last word was said tremblingly, and Chen Biandan's frightened heart shrank.
He said this with a reason, because he saw one of the faces, and although he couldn't see it clearly, it was certainly not a fairy's face, but like a white-faced ghost with a long blood-red tongue!
"Huh? You're not kidding us, are you? One of the guards said that the back of his neck was cold, as if a ghost wind had exhaled.
"Go see?"
"Let's go, I really don't believe in evil anymore." The two of them kept watch all night, and there was no movement at all, what the hell, what a god, in broad daylight, how could it be so mysterious.
Chen Biandan saw the two turn around and walk towards the stairs, he hesitated, was overcome by the curiosity in his heart, and still followed, but when he arrived in front of the drum tower, he didn't get close, and saw the situation over there from a distance, his legs were weak, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and before he fainted with his eyes, the only thought was that he should not have come over if he knew it.
What did Chen Biandan see, under the beam of the drum tower, three white silk swords were swinging in the air, and the three people hanging on could only be called corpses now, as the wind blew, swaying slowly back and forth, the dilapidated drum tower beams made a 'creaking' sound, and the people who grinded were all soft.
When Shen Lingjun and Tang Tang came over, the top and bottom of the drum tower had already been circled by a group of officials, and no one was allowed to approach.
But they couldn't resist the crowd of onlookers who were as excited as chicken's blood, and they gathered at the gate of the city to discuss loudly, sighing, sighing, indifferent, ridiculing, and there were all kinds of opinions in the world.
After sobering up and running around the street to hype up, Chen Biandan is now also mixed in the crowd, surrounded by everyone in a heroic and triumphant posture, and inquired about first-hand news from him.
At this moment, Chen Biandan also forgot about his fear and panic for the time being, and his innocent face was replaced by a red light of excitement, as if he felt honored because he was the first to discover the death of the Lu family.
Tang Tang covered his face with his two small hands, tilted his head, and pouted disdainfully: "The Central Plains people who have never seen the world have nothing to look good about being dead." ”
Shen Lingjun glanced at her, the corners of his mouth twitched, there is nothing to see, what are you here to make a fuss?
"Shen Lingjun, I just heard that the family of three hanged themselves, what are you doing here?" Tang Tang squeezed flexibly in the crowd, always following behind Shen Lingjun, and when he was sideways to avoid, he leaned over and asked.
"Just take a look." Shen Lingjun walked a few more steps and stopped, there were too many people to walk.
But she wasn't in a hurry, and pricked up her ears to listen by the way.
The gossip is not to be trusted, but sometimes something different can be heard.
She always felt that the death of this Lu family was too strange, and she was still playing in the mountains and rivers two days ago, why couldn't she think about it suddenly.
According to a certain theorem, people who have committed suicide once need to have three or even four times the courage to commit suicide again the second time, because they have faced death and felt it before they are afraid of that real hopeless situation, and it will also stimulate the instinct of survival in their hearts.
Therefore, many people who can't think of taking poison for a while will run out of the room and call for help.
In a word, unless something happened in the middle, causing the Lu family to take the last step and end their lives.
"You guys are killing these days, if it weren't for the little girl who surrounded others yesterday and made irresponsible remarks, people wouldn't be unable to think about it, pitiful, only so young, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Lu family, they are also good people!" An aunt next to her sighed.
Shen Lingjun followed the voice and looked over, and couldn't help but chuckle, isn't this aunt who is now sad and beating her chest one of the most energetic people who scolded Lu Yaoyao yesterday.
Many people are like this, they never miss any act of adding fuel to the fire, and they make a compassionate hypocrisy, they are the perpetrators, and they are also sympathetic mercyists, who will accuse others with a high posture of righteous words, and when the harm is achieved, they will change their faces and turn to condemn the same kind of people who have hurt others together.
Shen Lingjun was noncommittal about whether Lu Yaoyao was dead because of the verbal injury of these people, but he also hated those duplicitous people who were inconsistent, these people were like rat feces in a pot of rice porridge, not poisonous, but disgusting.
"Auntie, didn't you still scold other people's little prostitutes for being shameless yesterday, and the whole family is a liar?" Tang Tang blinked his eyes wide, pointed at the aunt, and his crisp voice attracted everyone to him.
"Uh......" The aunt's face twitched, her face was a little unnatural, and then she laughed dryly: "Hehe, the little girl can eat things indiscriminately, but she can't talk nonsense, when did I say those words, everyone knows that I have the best relationship with the sister-in-law of the Lu family." ”
Tang Tang's black and white eyes were sparkling, and his childish baby fat face was full of innocence, tilting his head and looking the truth: "No, I remember, you still said that their family was going to thunder in the sky." ”
When the others heard this, a few of them also remembered that there was indeed such a thing, and they all said: "Sister-in-law of the Wu family, you are too unkind." ”
"That's it, maybe Lu Yaoyao can't think of it, it's you who said it!"
"You people just don't have compassion, now it's okay, everyone is dead, cruel, you are all murderers!"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, that's their own death, what's our business."
"If you hadn't spread rumors that people were liars, their whole family would have gone to a dead end?"
The aunt of the Wu family was sandwiched in the middle, her lips pursed, her face was blue and red, and she couldn't see it very well, and secretly glared at Tang Tang with hatred, a little stinky girl, talking nonsense.
Tang Tang replied with an incomparably cute sweet smile, raised his hand up, and the cuffs were just aimed at the sight of the aunt of the Wu family, who looked at the things inside, his face suddenly turned pale, his legs were weak, and he secretly shouted in his heart, Mom, stumbling away from the crowd and running out.
Nima's girl, this little girl is more terrible than a ghost!
Tang Tang wrinkled his nose and grimaced, snorted, and muttered to himself: "The Central Plains people are really not fun." ”
Poked his fingers into the sleeves, Xiao Qing licked Tang Tang's fingers gently, Xiao Zi flicked her tail lazily, and Xiao Gu stared at her green eyes, emitting a strange light......
Didn't the aunt of the Wu family just see this bunch of pets and scare them away, which normal person has a bunch of snakes and insects on his body, and he looks strange!
"You give me a pause." Shen Lingjun glared at Tang Tang with warning, it was a mistake to take this trouble-causing essence.
Tang Tang flattened his mouth and twisted his face: "I didn't do anything." ”
Shen Lingjun raised a finger and rubbed his eyebrows, you didn't do anything, as soon as your pile of things appeared, which normal person could stand it.
Thinking that he couldn't hear any useful news here, he happened to see a figure in the drum tower shaking, and Shen Lingjun glanced at Tang Tang.
The two of them quietly retreated from the crowd, went around to the place where there was no one behind, jumped lightly, and jumped directly to the city wall.
