Chapter 33: Dark Night
The night in the countryside is very dark, this is the era of no light pollution, so dark that you can't see your fingers.
Zhu Luan was alone in the dark.
She sat down cross-legged and found a comfortable position. Since his hands were tied, he didn't try to fumble around the furnishings in the house.
The musty smell of old furniture permeated my nostrils, and the vulgar laughter and curses in the next room filled my ears.
Zhu Luan sat cross-legged in a generous square, obviously as long as she clenched her fist, the short knife on her wrist would shoot out and cut the rope that bound her, but she was too lazy to move, and her brain circuit was curious to enjoy this passive "leisure", I was tied up, so naturally I didn't have to think about anything and do nothing.
I don't have to take any responsibility.
What the hell, poisoning, and cutting off children and grandchildren have nothing to do with her.
After all, I was tied up and sent to Zhuangzi.
Maybe after her journey, she can enter the farming route, plant the fields in the future, raise her health, or remarry someone, save some money to go to Shendu, find her former friends, and always find other ways to avenge her mother.
How good, how trouble-free. In the dark, Zhu Luan laughed softly, his eyebrows stretched out, the tails of his eyes bent into crescents, and his smile was extraordinarily sweet, neither regretting for wasting his time, nor ashamed of doing nothing.
"Yo, why are you smiling so happily? What good things did you dream about? Tell me about my uncle? The closed door creaked open, and a male voice with a dry smile came from the doorway.
The noise outside had quieted down for some time.
There were a few dog barks in the distance, which seemed a little oozing in the dark night.
Li Fugui's heart was beating a little hard, and he originally planned to come back in two days to taste the taste, but at the banquet just now, the stewards and idlers who had seen the girl in the evening all drank their eyes straight, and they couldn't stop looking next door.
Even he began to reminisce, the first time he didn't have to kneel on the ground to stare at the young lady, the beauty he had never seen before...... The all-over magnificence......
The most important thing is that this is the young lady of the former grandfather...... Once, people like them didn't dare to look at Miss Gui in their lives......
If it's too late, and the soup is tasted by other men, it will really be regretting that the intestines will be green......
Fortunately, he is the head of the village, and in this village, he is the king of heaven.
On the strength of the wine, Li Fugui was stunned by the pie that fell from the sky, and after yelling a few times to send away all the well-fed and well-fed housekeepers and guards, he carried the lamp and touched the door of Miss Zhu Jiu's room.
In the evening, when Mrs. Xia dragged Miss Zhu Jiu in, the hem of the young lady's skirt was still hanging on this door.
Even the rough wooden door now has an unusual aroma.
Intoxicated, he took out the key with trembling hands, unlocked it, pushed open the door, and looked into the hall.
I saw a graceful girl sitting on the ground, her skirt spread out on the ground like a flower, the candlelight shone, and the corners of her mouth on her white face were crooked, as if she was smiling.
This life is too good-looking, I don't know how many times stronger than those rough women on Zhuangzi, and the pretty maids sent before are completely incomparable......
Sure enough, Miss Qianjin is different from those cheap breeds...... The fine skin and tender flesh of this body......
The man's breathing became rapid, his throat surged and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and he only felt hot and dry in the winter, and he couldn't help but reach out and rip off the placket of his clothes, revealing his dark and fluffy chest.
He stepped through the half-open door.
"Miss Nine...... What are you laughing at...... Tell my uncle......" He trembled with excitement, and approached the girl sitting on the ground step by step.
The girl raised her head, half-light and half-dark, her eyes were amazingly bright, crystal clear and incredible.
Then she lowered her head and sighed inaudibly, her slender neck bent into a beautiful arc, even in the middle of the night, it was a fresh feeling.
Li Fugui only felt that his throat was dry and his body was swollen and painful, this was the young lady of a big family, who was originally beaten if he looked at it more, but now it fell into his Zhuangzi, he can do whatever he wants with her now, and he can do whatever he wants......
The man licked his lips, and the sound of swallowing saliva echoed clearly through the room.
"Miss Nine, let Uncle take a good look at you......" Li Fugui said in a trembling voice, couldn't hold it anymore, put the candlestick on the ground, kicked his foot back and closed the door, one hand couldn't wait to tear open his trouser belt, and the other hand reached out to the girl's face......
Zhu Luan slowly sat up straight and looked at him quietly.
The man gasped excitedly, but did not notice that behind her, there was a flash of fire that did not belong to the candlestick.
……
……
In the same dark night, on the dirt road leading to Zhuangzi, a long dragon of dotted torches tore through the inky night.
A four-horse carriage with a dark red roof was moving at a rapid pace, accompanied by two teams of torch-lit guards on both sides.
Although the carriage is luxurious, the road in the suburbs is not as good as in the city, and the road is bumpy, and the retching of the old man can be heard from time to time.
"Old lady, let's slow down, it's not safe to walk too fast at night," in the carriage, Mrs. Chen persuaded Mrs. Bai while giving comfort to Mrs. Bai.
"Hurry up, I always feel a little wrong in my heart," Old Lady Bai shook her head.
"Where you need to come in person, I won't be able to hand it over to the old woman directly," Mrs. Chen's eyes were full of unbearable, "Even if you take care of Miss Jiu, there is no need to rush overnight!" ”
"I've lived this old bone until now, and I don't know how many wrong things I've done," Old Lady Bai panted hard, "But I'm a little good, and if I think it's wrong, I'll hurry up and find the wrong place." ”
Mrs. Bai lifted the curtain and looked at the distant mountains with black holes outside the car window, "There is a noble man who once said something to me twenty years ago, and I have always remembered it in my heart until now. ”
"This is a man, the older he lives, the higher his position is, the easier it is to die and suffer to save face, which is unacceptable." Mrs. Bai lowered the curtain, "No matter where she found out, as long as it has something to do with this matter, I can't let go of any clues." ”
The old man's eyes were resolute.
It was past midnight, and the carriage arrived at the Grange at the hour of the rooster's crow.
Mrs. Chen looked out from afar by the railing, and saw that the gate of the grange was dark, even the lanterns hanging on the gate had been extinguished, and there was no one on duty, so she couldn't help frowning, "Why don't you even have a gatekeeper?" Didn't you already fly a pigeon and spread the word that the old lady was coming? ”
"Maybe it's too late, the people in Zhuangzi have stopped," since the Li family took charge of internal affairs, many distant relatives have been stuffed into the Zhuangzi, and they don't pay much attention to the management of the Zhuangzi.
"Let the guards call the door." She commanded.
The head of the guard crackled and knocked on the gate, and the main house of Zhuangzi was not far from the gate, but the people in Zhuangzi seemed to be asleep, and there was a dead silence.
An ominous premonition once again flooded Bai Laotaijun's heart, "Knock the door open for me!" She shouted.
The gate of the Grange was just a thick fence and a wooden gate, and several guards collided with each other, and the wooden gate was knocked open, and the carriage of the old lady Bai drove directly into the Grange.
There were lights and houses in the row of houses across the field from the main house, while the main house and the nearby houses were dead silent.
It's weird.
With a wave of his hand, Mrs. Bai asked a team of guards to go to the row of houses with lights on opposite the ridge to find someone, and she stepped out of the carriage with the help of Mrs. Chen.
She squinted at the main house of the Black Hole and the row of side rooms next to it, and suddenly frowned, "Get all the torches and step back," she commanded in a loud voice.
The well-trained guards immediately retreated, and the somewhat bright house, which had been reflected by the torches, was suddenly plunged into darkness again.
At this moment, in a side room next to the main house, a faint candlelight appeared.
The light was so faint that no one noticed it just now.
"Go and see," Mrs. Bai approached the side room step by step with the support of Mrs. Chen.
There was still no movement in the room.
Mrs. Chen put her hand on the door of the side room, only to find that the door was actually hidden.
For some reason, the old woman's heart was beating so hard that she squeaked, and she pushed the door open.
A black figure lay on the ground, and the girl sitting on the ground raised her head, her face pale, her cheeks stained with blood, and her pupils were terrifying.
"Murdered!" In the darkness of the night, screams echoed through the Grange.
