Chapter 13: The Strange Incident in Xihuayuan

This time he came back much slower than the last time, because he was followed by a carriage full of red satin brocade to be embroidered.

The big sedan chair, the carriage, I don't know, I think I'm going to get married.

The rickety sedan chair, the sound of gurgling wheels, I slowly fell asleep and fell asleep for a while. Qian Meng actually had a dream, Han Sanxiao's pale face squeezed out of the quilt and transformed into Song Lingjian's face, her eyes were still red, and she looked at me with the hatred of ripping flesh and drinking blood, as if I was the enemy who took Shishilang's life, her resentment finally bleed, dripping on the sleeping face of the man looking at him from a distance, impartially in the middle of his eyebrows, and with a bang, it bloomed into a bewitching and bright red blood red, and he suddenly opened his eyes!

I woke up in a cold sweat!

The sedan chair is still shaking, the wheels are still grunting, why hasn't it arrived yet?

I lifted the sedan curtain, and a cold smell of strange flowers suddenly drilled into my neck - how could it be Xihuayuan?! No wonder I have nightmares when I fall asleep!

This strange orchid from light green to white swayed in the wind, the petals fluttered in a mess across the deserted wilderness, and the curtains of the uninhabited house in the middle of the flower field were pulled fiercely in the wind.

Jingle Bell –

What was that?! I was taken aback. Listen closely, jingle bellsβ€”far away, as if coming from the house in the middle of the flower plain!

Isn't there no one living there? How can there be a sound?

"There's a wooden wind chime in the middle of the atom, and the sound comes from the wooden bell." Mother Bear said coldly.

I watched Mama Bear swallow, how did she know what I was afraid of?

At this time, there was a bang, as if something heavy fell on the roof of my sedan car!

I cried out with an "ahhh

Mother Xiong was obviously taken aback, but the sedan chair drivers did not stop the sedan chair and walked faster and faster.

"The voice just now, it's not the sound of the wooden bell, right?!" I asked in a trembling voice.

Mama Xiong's face was a little pale, and she was panting: "It may be that the wooden wind chimes were blown to the ground by the wind, don't worry about it, let's go." ”

"No, I feel like something has fallen on the roof of the car!" I could hear a voice coming from my head.

"Nothing, you heard it wrong! Come on! "Mother Bear roared.

"Bang", another sound, louder than just now, fell on my head, the thing seemed to be a little heavy, and smashed the sedan chair to shake.

The lady of the sedan chair stopped, and I ran and jumped down from the sedan chair, for fear that something would fall down, although I was still afraid of the sedan roof.

Several people seemed to have found the thing smashed on the roof of the sedan chair, and they were looking around the thing.

I walked over to look at it, and it was dark and I couldn't see clearly, so I asked Mama Bear, "What is it?" ”

I felt a little nervous as the mother bear gasped, and one of the palanquin drivers exclaimed, "Crow, it's a dead crow!" ”

"It's a dead crow! It's too evil! And blood! Another palanquin driver also exclaimed.

All of a sudden, a small bunch of people exploded!

Dead crows? How could a dead crow smash on the roof of my sedan chair? It happened to be in this strange place in Xihuayuan, how could the crow fall when it was flying in the sky? Why isn't it just another bird that happens to be an unlucky crow?! My brain exploded.

Mother Bear tried her best to soothe everyone's emotions, and she was also soothing her own emotions: "The sick crow just died and fell, what evil can there be!" Hurry up and get up, don't look at it! ”

"Ouch, there's one here, several, why are so many crows dead, it's really filthy!" The coachman in the back rubbed the bloody crow's corpse off the wheel.

I felt sick and turned and retched a few times.

Suddenly, the wind became stronger, and the smell of dead crows was in the wind, and I vomited a lot of bitter water.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, let's go!" Mother Bear pushed me into the sedan chair a little rudely, and yelled at the coachman, "It's all happy things, what are you doing here with filth, what kind of strange smell you have, look at how Madame cleans you up!" ”

The sedan chair rose silently, and the car followed closely behind, very fast, and the atmosphere was heavy.

When I entered the main street, the bustling street sound calmed my heart a little, but I really didn't have the appetite to sit in the sedan chair that was smashed by the crow's corpse, so I said to Mama Xiong: "Mama Xiong, the sedan chair is here, please ask the coachman to send the satin to my courtyard, and Xia Xia will receive it in the courtyard." I sat dizzy in the sedan chair and wanted to walk back slowly by myself. ”

Mama Xiong nodded, probably wanting to go home quickly: "Okay, then go to the place where the sedan car is turned in front." ”

As soon as I got off the sedan chair, Mama Xiong took the sedan chair men and walked away quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I looked up at the sky, it wasn't autumn yet, why did I feel a little lifeless? When I passed through the Green Pavilion, I was really not there, maybe I went out to sell the goods.

In front of the tofu stall, a bunch of people were chatting lively.

Aunt Tofu Hong was as silent as ever, cutting tofu for the guests.

Li Bei'er, who just got married, is talking about her husband Ding Peng, and I was still worried about the fact that I haven't changed my voice in the past few days.

As soon as I leaned over, I heard Li Bei'er say, "Walk away so soon, don't you talk for a while?" ”

I looked at Li Bei'er's gaze, it was Li Xue, she was blushing slightly and said, "Don't pull, there is no one in the store, don't worry." ”

Li Bei'er looked at me and said, "Okay, let's talk another day." ”

Li Xue walked softly and softly, and I looked at her, and there was an indescribable sadness in my heart.

Li Bei'er said: "This Li Xue, guarding a store every day, has exhausted all her youth." ”

I smiled and asked her off the subject, "What were you talking about?" I seem to have mentioned Ding Peng among you. ”

Li Bei'er said: "That's right, Ding Peng hasn't come out for a long time, they say, maybe he ran away with a widow in Hongcun."

My gossip heart immediately came up: "Which widow in Hongcun?" I haven't heard of who Ding Peng is good with? ”

Li Bei'er said: "Of course, this can't be obvious. My brother Niu said that he saw Ding Peng's sneaky neighborhood in Hongcun that day. You said that he was just a dozen shifts in our town, why did the widow in Shanghong Village go to the house in broad daylight? ”

I think about it, there are three villages in Zixu Town, one is our main village, and there is also Liu Village and Hongcun, several villages are not very interactive, especially Hongcun, which is far away, only on the day of the big market will some people come to the market, Ding Peng went to Hongcun is indeed a little strange.

Aunt Hong cut and wrapped all the beans and put them in front of the stall one by one.

Li Bei'er blinked her eyes and asked her, "By the way, doesn't Aunt Hong often buy beans from that widow?" Have you ever seen anything strange? ”

Aunt Hong shook her head.

Li Bei'er said to herself: "Acting so secretly, this Ding Peng doesn't appear for a day, and he doesn't change his voice on the street for a day, and he is panicked." ”

I smiled and said, "Isn't it just that there is no more noise, and the wife is still peaceful." You bought all Aunt Hong's tofu at once, what do you tell the people who come to the market late to eat? ”

Li Bei'er took the tofu and smelled it, and said with a smile: "Brother Niu likes to eat the fish soup cooked from Aunt Hong's tofu, which is very slippery." Yan Fei, don't you want to buy some? ”

Aunt Hong also turned her eyes to me, as if asking if she wanted to cut a piece for me too.

I said, "Okay, my throat is a little dry these days, so it's good to eat a little slippery throat." ”

Li Bei'er carefully put the tofu in the basket and stood on the edge of the stall without leaving.

I wondered, "Do you still have anything to buy, let Aunt Hong get it for you first." ”

Li Bei'er patted the basket and said, "I've bought it." I'm waiting for you. ”

I wondered, "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”

Li Bei'er said: "Wait for you to come along, anyway, we have a small road that is smooth." ”

This Li Bei'er, shouldn't she be squeamish because she is married and married, she has to go with me for such a short distance, I can't help but tease her: "When is such a little bird and refuses to walk alone even for a short distance?" ”

Li Bei'er didn't refute me in a crisp voice like before, but frowned and said with a heavy heart: "Well, it's really a bit of a bad thing these days." ”

"It's a sunny day, the town is full of people, what are you doing?"

Li Bei'er pursed her lips, pulled me and whispered: "Didn't I tell you last time, I always think that there are people walking around in the alley, and there is no one when the door is opened, and this is the case these days." And don't you smell it, the wind has been mixed with a strange smell in the past two days, and it smells hairy in my heart. ”

I frowned, sniffed hard, and said, "What a strange smell, why didn't I smell it?" I smelled the slippery aroma of Aunt Hong's tofu. ”

Aunt Hong squinted and smiled at me.

Li Bei'er said: "Can't you smell it?" Oopsβ€”" she suddenly took a few steps back and said, "you have a strange smell all over you, no wonder you can't smell it." ”

I was surprised, sniffed my sleeve, and said, "What smell, why can't I smell it?" ”

"Y- where are you from? I just saw the sedan chair in Zhengfu, did you just come back from Xitou? ”
