On the whole, he was satisfied with the place, although the house was a little broken, and there was a large mirror in the bedroom, which was obviously for a woman, but the courtyard outside was larger than everyone else's, and inside it was enough for him to grow more flowers.

He dug many small pits in the courtyard and carefully transplanted the peonies, peonies, and silver cinnamon that had been planted in the former house.

These flowers are all their own treasures, especially those hardcore purples, although they are not very precious peonies, but they bloom very early, often in March, when other places are still budding, his ironcore purple has already bloomed.

This is what he is most proud of, but unfortunately the fly in the ointment is that the flowers are not red enough, and if they are a little red, they are as red as blood, and they will be more perfect.

By the way, yesterday someone removed the bronze lion in his courtyard without authorization, and the old ancestor was furious, hey, it's better to drive those guys out of the Shen family, they don't have to look at me squarely, but I also look down on them.

I always think that mirror is a little weird!

Looking at the mirror for a long time, I could even see a trace of red light from inside, maybe I was dazzled.

I had a dream at night, and a woman who couldn't see clearly told me that if she irrigated the peony with blood, the peony would turn red, as red as blood......

"Shen Yu often uses a strange method to grow peonies and peonies." Shen Ke licked his lips and continued: "Maybe Xiao Ye has already guessed that he is using blood!" ”

And sure enough, it was!

Listening to his story, my face turned white, and Shen Xue hugged my arm tightly in fear. The flowers in the garden have stopped for some time, and even in the breeze, they take on an eerie deathly stillness, as if they are listening carefully to the story.

Shen Ke continued: "He first used chicken blood and pig blood, and finally cut his wrist and dripped the blood directly into the bowl, which was then used to irrigate the peony. ”

Not red enough! Still not red enough!

Although it has been irrigated with blood for several months, the flowers of the hardcore purple during the flowering period are much brighter than before, but they are still not as good as I expected!

What exactly do you do to make it as red as blood?

A few days ago, I had that strange dream again, and the woman in the dream still couldn't see clearly, but her voice was very good, just like her two silver cinnamon plants, greasy and mellow, and people couldn't bear to resist her.

The woman said that human blood must be used to irrigate the peonies, otherwise they will not produce good flowers, and the flowering period will not be too long.

The next day I tried, and I cut my wrist in pain, took out a bowl full of blood, and poured it into the soil where the peonies were grown.

Early this morning, as soon as I walked into the yard, I saw that all the peonies had turned the blood red of my dreams.

The phenomenon of the original red purple of the iron core has disappeared completely, replaced by the bewitching red, that bright color, so that I can't help but dance with my hands, and I am almost dying of excitement, I suddenly understand that it must be my piety that has moved the heavens, so I will send a fairy down to the mortal world to enlighten me.

"Shen Yu has been irrigating the flowers with his own blood, although his neighbor thinks it is very weird, but because the old ancestor didn't say anything, plus he is a direct member of the Shen family, he is left to fend for himself."

Shen Ke shook his head meaninglessly, and continued: "It's strange to say, since it was watered with blood, Shen Yu's peony has been very bright, and the layers of petals are not only beautiful and flawless, but also red, very red, red like blood. ”

The feeling of depression in the courtyard was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed that something was about to move. In the sky, the bright sunlight suddenly dimmed, but the surroundings were still very quiet, and the silence was disturbing.

Shen Ke continued to tell the story as if he didn't notice it, and his voice was particularly harsh in the huge courtyard.

"Although those peonies are extremely beautiful, none of Shen Yu's neighbors want to appreciate them, they think they are definitely hoodoos, and Shen Yu doesn't care about their strange eyes at all, until there are children in the family who keep disappearing......

I have always had a wish, that is, to see the peony, peony, silver cinnamon, the three favorite flowers and trees, open at the same time, as long as the thought of the elegant pink peony, the noble blood red of peony, and the fragrant osmanthus full of trees, mixed in a courtyard, I can't stop trembling.

So I began to pray to the heavens devoutly, hoping that the fairy who had repeatedly given me tips would come down to earth again and enter into my dreams, and the exciting thing was that the heavens heard my wishes, and last night I dreamed again.

The fairy was facing me for the first time, but I still couldn't see her, but I didn't care, I just wanted to know the way.

She did not disappoint me, and told me in a tired voice that if the body of a person who had just died was buried under the silver laurel tree, it would bloom four months earlier, and the flowers would be more and more fragrant, and then the peony, peony, and laurel tree would be in full bloom at a time.

Human corpses? When I woke up, I wondered, where do I find the body? Grave digging? Although there are many in the cemetery of the back house, they are all dead for several years, and I am afraid that only bones are left now, not to mention the corpses that have just died.

I sat at the gate of the courtyard in distress, and a child happened to pass by.

He smiled at me, his face was so bright that he didn't even lose to the hardcore purple in full bloom, so I laughed happily too......

The corpse is finally there.

"The Shen family lost thirteen children in a month. The parents of those children were looking for a lot of money, and there was no clue. In the end, someone said that several of the children seemed to be with Shen Yu before they disappeared, and he also gave those children something to eat. ”

Shen Ke gasped and wanted to pause, but was surprised to find that his tongue was completely uncontrollable, word after word, bursting out of his mouth one word after another.

So those parents all rushed to Shen Yu's house, but the door of his house was tightly closed, no matter how those people knocked, no one answered the door, many people thought that this was a sign that he had a ghost in his heart, and immediately someone broke through the door and broke in.

But as soon as they entered the door, everyone was stunned! In this early summer season, in Shen Yu's courtyard, peonies, peonies, and osmanthus flowers were actually blooming at the same time, and the scenery that should have been very beautiful was revealed for some reason, and everyone who came in shivered at the same time.

A strange feeling filled the air, entangled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. There are also peony red blood-like flowers, all of which are very depressing, and this feeling even makes people become extremely irritable.

The parents searched the entire yard and finally dug up the bodies of the missing children under two laurel trees...... It was exactly thirteen, but the corpses had long since been dismembered into countless pieces, and only the head was still intact.

"This incident shocked the entire family, and many people spontaneously formed a search team to find Shen Yu, but he seemed to have suddenly evaporated in the world, and no one knew his traces anymore."

This terrifying story was finally told, Shen Ke inhaled heavily, and said so many words in a row, the pain almost suffocated him.

Until now, he didn't quite know what was going on with himself just now, just like the whole body no longer belonged to him, he was like a walking corpse, according to what suddenly appeared in his mind, numbly read it as a draft, could this be the so-called ghost upper body?

Thinking of this, Shen Ke's already pale face suddenly became even paler, and he slapped his beating heart hard in fear.

Just halfway through Shen Ke's talk, I had basically guessed the entire plot, so I wasn't too shocked. But the scared Shen Xue next to me was not the same, the woman is such a strange animal, she knows the storyline very well, but she is still scared when she hears it!

"You mean to say that this is the courtyard where Shen Yu lived?" I couldn't help but look around again.

Shen Ke was still full of fear and said, "I don't know the specific location, but judging from the story and these laurel trees with abnormal flowering periods, it shouldn't be wrong, right?" ”

"But there's an ending to this story that you forgot to tell!" Shen Xue couldn't help but poke her head out of my arms and said nervously: "Since Shen Yu couldn't be found, those angry parents became angry at his flowers and trees, and they pulled out all the flowers and plants he planted, burned them to the ground, and the place where Shen Yu lived was completely abandoned. ”

"You mean that the flowers and trees left by Shen Yu were destroyed a hundred years ago?" All I felt was a chill, and my hair almost stood on end. "And what are we seeing now?" I asked.

"The devil knows." Shen Ke also shook his head, and he trembled and said, "Maybe someone secretly hid the seeds for some purpose, and then planted them here." ”

"That doesn't explain the situation at hand."

I tore another leaf from the silver laurel tree, and saw that the whole tree was shaking, and there was a strange sound like a low moan.

The three of us were taken aback.

"This place is so weird. Let's get out of here! Shen Xue suggested in a low voice.

Shen Ke and I immediately agreed, and flew out of the back door.

As soon as we walked out of the courtyard gate, the sky that was still cloudy just now suddenly became cloudless, and the dazzling sunlight shot down from the sky, which caused our eyes to be unable to adapt for a while.

I blinked vigorously, looking up at the sky in confusion, the sun was already very westerly, I looked at my watch, and the indicator actually reached half past four, but I clearly remembered that it was not yet three o'clock when I entered the courtyard, and I didn't feel like I stayed long, I just listened to Shen Ke tell a story, but I didn't expect it to take an hour and a half.

It seems that there is really something strange about the yard just now.

In Shen Ke's story, there are still many doubts, since that Shen Yu is obsessed with flowers, and even to the point of not hesitating to kill and divide his body in order to get nourishment, then how could he hide and watch his beloved flowers and trees being cut down without stopping it a little?

If he loves his life more than flowers, he is not the nymphomaniac in the story, or is there something else hidden? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my head, and I screamed.

"I'm afraid, the courtyard we saw just now is where Shen Yu has been hiding!"
