Chapter 18: A Great Change in Temperament
Yang Huan saw Tan Qing Shi Ran get up, but he didn't say anything to embarrass her, even if Tan Qing ignored him completely at this moment, but when Tan Qing was about to step out of the dining room, Yang Huan suddenly seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly pretended to snort softly, and then said to Tan Qing, "Sister-in-law, don't forget one thing, those people in your family, don't drag them to Yang's house as much as possible, otherwise, if I have itchy hands one day, I will hurt them, That would hurt my sister-in-law's face. β
As soon as these words came out, Tan Qing's movements paused slightly, and just as he wanted to say that he turned his head to take a look at Yang Huan's current expression, he had already walked past Tan Qing leisurely, and his chic appearance looked really good.
Tan Qing looked at Yang Huan's distant figure, but he was cursing endlessly in his heart, if he could, Tan Qing was actually very willing to let Yang Huan fight with Aunt Tan and a few people, this kind of laughing at the dog-eat-dog thing, why not do it?
It's just that Tan Qing didn't forget what Yang Huan said just now, that is, it hurt her face.
In fact, Tan Qing really doesn't care much about face or something, but she has always known that verbal attacks are more harmful than physical attacks, and in this society where information is relatively closed, the gossip that can be spread in the whole town is just like that, if Yang Huan really beats the original owner's mother or brother, the people here are afraid that they will somehow arrange Tan Qing's not to go.
Tan Qing has always been thick-skinned, but he also knows where the bottom line is, so for Yang Huan, Tan Qing once again raised the mind to avoid it.
After that, Tan Qing went back to his room, asked A-Ning to boil some boiling water for himself, took a bath with a bucket, and then was about to lie comfortably on his own bed to sleep, Tan Qing suddenly remembered something, so he called A-Ning out of the house and asked her, "When I went out in the past two days, I saw a lot of notices posted on the notice wall, do you know what happened?"
Thinking about it, A-Ning also knows a little bit, too, she is not as closed as Tan Qing, no matter how she is a maid, A-Ning also knows a lot of maids in the house, so after pondering for a while, A-Ning replied to Tan Qing, "The young lady doesn't know, our town has not been very peaceful in the past year, not to mention that more than a dozen girls who have not been out of the cabinet have disappeared, and the county master originally handled this matter as a missing case, but a few months ago, The bodies of the girls began to be found one after another. β
As he spoke, Ah Ning seemed to have remembered something terrible, and his whole body shrank uncontrollably, and then he continued to say to Tan Qing, "Young lady, you don't know how miserable those girls died, once when Ah Ning went out to grab medicine for the young lady, she saw the girl's corpse, and there was no place on her body that was good, and her body was bruised and purple, and it was really scary to look at." β
Listening, the conversation couldn't help frowning, and then asked A-Ning, "How many girls are missing, and how many bodies have been found?" β
Ah Ning shook his head slowly, and then replied to Tan Qing, "This Ah Ning doesn't know, the county master said that he couldn't startle the snake, so he concealed the news, but it was spread outside, saying that a total of eleven people were missing, and so far six bodies have been found, but ......"
"Just what?" Tan Qing asked a little eagerly.
"It's just that it's been four months since the last girl disappeared, so the county magistrate let it out, saying that the suspect may have left our town." Aning said.
Tan Qing shook his head slowly when he heard this, "That's not necessarily, maybe that person is just hiding." β
As he spoke, Tan Qing suddenly felt that his body was trembling a little, as if something was observing him all the time, and he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and after a while, Tan Qing turned his head leisurely, but as soon as he turned half his head, his head froze straight.
She saw a figure standing in the crack of the unclosed window.
Tan Qing exhaled deeply, his gaze slowly moved up, stopped at a certain angle, and then met someone's eyes.
Tan Qing was startled, and his eyes widened at that time.
She saw a deep chill in the man's eyes, which made her shiver.
Ah Ning looked at Tan Qing's reaction and felt strange, turned his head to look at Tan Qing's line of sight, but found nothing, only thought that he hadn't closed the window tightly, so he raised his feet and walked to the window, closed the window tightly, and then turned around and returned to Tan Qing.
Then, when A-Ning answered beside him, Tan Qing lowered his voice and asked A-Ning tentatively, "A-Ning, last time you told me when the second master returned to the house, I can't remember it clearly." β
"The second master is back to the house at this time last year, and the lady said that she had fallen in love with a girl from a certain family, and asked the second master to come back to see, saying that the second master was also old, and it was time to start a family." Although Ah Ning was puzzled why Tan Qing suddenly asked her this question, he still explained without hesitation.
And because A-Ning was originally a chatterbox, she didn't plan to stop after saying this, but just paused for a while and continued to say to Tan Qing, "You have also seen the second master's fiancΓ©e, the young lady, at that time, the girl also said that you looked very much like a sister in her family, so she always ran to our yard, but she disappeared within two months." β
Saying that, A-Ning just sighed, "It's just that I haven't seen her corpse or anything, and I don't know if she's dead or alive now." β
"She's missing too?" Tan Qing took a deep breath, and suddenly there was a feeling that the truth was close at hand.
"Yes, otherwise, I think she will be the second young lady in our house." Aning returned.
Tan Qing frowned tightly, she always felt that something was wrong.
"How can this be, why did such a big thing happen, and I didn't report it." Tan Qing said, but she forgot her identity for a while, fortunately, she was originally a simple person, and she didn't know much about anything outside the mansion, plus Aning people themselves are not very elves, so they didn't see anything.
And after listening to Tan Qing's question, A-Ning immediately frowned, looked a little reluctant, and even snorted softly, which was what she said to Tan Qing, "At that time, the girl didn't like our second master, she said that she was a rough person, and she still had such a scar on her face, I don't know if she did something unsightly outside, she said this behind the second master's back, and was heard by a sister in our house, so we all know that she doesn't want to marry the second master, At that time, the house had already given them ten taels of silver as a dowry, and then she disappeared, and the people in the house only thought that she was unwilling to marry the second master, so she ran away, and when someone found out that the girl was missing one after another, this was to report to her, but this time has already passed a few months. β
When Tan Qing heard this, she had a little bottom in her heart, but if things were as she thought, then her current situation would not be like a sheep's mouth.
Moreover, if I was not mistaken just now, the person standing outside the window was Yang Huan.
And the look he looked at himself, the attitude he showed towards himself, all revealed a message that he was his next target.
Thinking of this, Tan Qing directly shuddered, she finally got a chance to live again, she really didn't want to change places to die, she also wanted to say that she would live for two more years.
So Tan Qing secretly made a decision in his heart, he must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Immediately, Tan Qing calculated, looking at Yang Huan's appearance, it didn't seem that he was going to end himself immediately, as long as he worked hard during this period of time and earned a little travel and living expenses, he would have to leave this place of right and wrong, and at that time, what Aunt Tan, what Yang Huan, and what murderer had nothing to do with him.
In the middle of the night, Tan Qing lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep no matter what, every time he closed his eyes, he would see Yang Huan staring at his extremely gloomy eyes, even if Tan Qing's body was covered with a thick quilt, even curled up into a small lump, she still felt the heavy chill coming from her body, that feeling, it made her have a sense of calm before death.
Tan Qing was half-asleep and half-awake all night, until the sky was slightly bright, Tan Qing supported his crumbling body to get up, but there was no accident, when he went out, Tan Qing didn't open his eyes.
And when Tan Qing slowly dragged his heavy steps to the back door, he saw a figure like a wooden stake, standing straight by the door.
The moment he saw this figure, Tan Qing directly came to his senses, and then felt his legs tremble uncontrollably, and then Tan Qing spit out a sentence extremely stiffly, and said to the man, "Uncle, you got up so early." β
After speaking, Tan Qing tentatively moved his legs to the side slowly, but he just moved a small step under his feet, and the man said straight to Tan Qing, "Sister-in-law is earlier, isn't it?" β
Then, the man walked straight to Tan Qing, stopped, looked at Tan Qing condescendingly and said, "Sister-in-law seems to have changed her temperament after jumping into the water, which is really interesting." β
