Chapter 200: Alone in a foreign land as a stranger



Li Qitang smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this inconvenient for Miss Mei's skills!" In the next opinion, since the woman is dressed plainly, and she has never brought a maid with her, she is afraid that the place where she lives will not be a big family where the rich gather, and the local girl must know that the ordinary people in this Tanhualang Mansion will not come, but this woman is still alone, and it may be a single woman who has just come to the capital from other places, and she does not know the situation, so she should live in a rented place, the rental price is cheaper, and it is close to here, where will it be? ”

While admiring Li Qitang, I searched in my mind for the eligible places on Ziyuchai Street: "Ah, by the way, Yangshuzhizi Hutong is the cheapest to rent, it is full of old houses, and it is not far from here, and it will be there in one or two hundred steps!" ”

After that, I took Li Qitang to Yangshuzhizi Hutong.

The poplar branch alley is very narrow and crooked, and there is a small road with potholes at the feet, and the old houses on both sides are short of bricks and short tiles, and occasionally small pieces of dirt will roll down from the walls and hit us on the head.

Li Qitang looked up at the sky that narrowed into a thin strip in our eyes, and looked left and right for the residents who lived here, but perhaps because this place was too dilapidated, no matter how cheap it was, few people would live in it. As we walked, we didn't realize that we had already walked halfway through this narrow alley, and finally, a big goose rushed out of nowhere, stretched out its neck and chirped at us.

An old man came out of the gate of a dilapidated courtyard and shouted to the goose, "I see that you are going to be slaughtered!" What are you screaming about! ”

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, with high sleeves and a hemp rope tied around his waist, and at first glance he made a living by doing manual work, and there was a lot of muddy water splashed on his trouser legs.

As soon as Li Qitang and I saw someone, we hurriedly stepped forward to greet us: "Old man, we want to trouble you, and I don't care if you inquire about someone." ”

The old man dug out his ears and asked, "Who do you inquire about?" ”

I hurriedly said: "It is a woman in her twenties, born thin, with a goose egg face, often wearing a peach blossom hairpin, and her finger is broken." ”

"Oh, are you looking for the snow of the past?" The old man blinked his eyes and said, "But she has already left, and she probably won't come back here again, you have run for nothing." ”

I hurriedly said, "Xixue? Miss Xixue is not here, it doesn't matter, we have something, ask you, it's the same. ”

The old man looked at me and Li Qitang suspiciously, and asked, "What are you asking about other people's doing?" ”

I was speechless for a while, and Li Qitang hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't be too careful, we, we came to ask because we saw her lost things." But I don't know where she lives, and I know you well? ”

The old man probably saw that Li Qitang was gentle and polite, and his demeanor was good, so he relieved his suspicions and replied: "She doesn't have anything of value either, and if she loses it, she will lose it, and it is useless to find it." That Xixue is a person from Xichuan, and the time to come to the capital is not too long, because there is not much money, so I searched for it and rented a small partial house of my family, just behind the goose nest. ”

We looked into the yard, but saw that across the wall from the goose's nest was a small grass hut, which had collapsed most of it......

Li Qitang turned around and asked, "But I don't know what that Xixue girl is doing when she comes to the capital?" ”

The old man shook his head: "She didn't say anything, but she went out every day, and she didn't know what to do." It's strange to say, I don't know why, she said goodbye without saying goodbye, it's also weird that people are worried! ”

"Then, who is that Snow Maiden?" Li Qitang asked.

The old man touched his beard and replied: "Xixue's child is diligent in his hands and feet, and he is also harmonious, looking at me lonely and miserable, but he sympathizes with me with the same disease, and always helps me do some housework, I see that she is lonely and pitiful, and I don't care if she asks for room money!" It's just that that kid is a little too gullible to others, and I just hope that I won't deceive others. ”

To you splendid

Li Qitang nodded and said, "The old man is really kind-hearted, and he is admirable." By the way, how long has it been since the Snow Maiden didn't say goodbye? ”

The old man thought for a while and said: "It's been about a few days, the last time I came back, I saw her lost her soul, and one of her shoes fell off, and she didn't know where to come back, she just ran out of breath, and came into the house, and was stunned for a while, I asked her what was wrong, and she didn't answer, but she didn't know where to look." I was bored, so I went out to work, but when I came home in the evening, the side room where she lived was darkened, and I never saw her again. ”

"I see." Li Qitang nodded thoughtfully, and asked the old man, "I don't know the house where Miss Xue lived in the past, can you let us take a look?" As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the old man: "This silver is only for the house money of the former snow girl, and I will pay for her in the future." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy like a child, and said again and again: "I don't have so much money, but I really taught the young master to break the ......" and led us into the grass shed, and said: "Actually, there is nothing to see, but it is just an ordinary room, and Xi Xue has never brought a lot of things to ......"

Although the house was dilapidated on the outside, it was neatly cleaned up on the inside, and although it had fallen a thin layer of dust, it could still be seen that it was clean before.

There is only one hall in the house, a back room, and a stove is connected between the low kang and the hall house, which is worthy of the sentence "The house has four walls." ”

Li Qitang went in to take a look, and I followed behind, but I saw that there were a few faded and crumpled yellow papers neatly stacked in this room. Li Qitang took it, but seeing that the handwriting on the yellow paper had already been blurred by the rain, Li Qitang frowned and said, "So that's the case......"

I hurriedly asked, "Master Li, what do you see?" ”

Li Qitang nodded: "I know a little bit in my heart, but I'm not sure yet, let's go back to Tanhua Mansion and take a look, maybe we can find out." ”

I nodded hurriedly and followed Li Qitang back to Tanhua Mansion.

On this day, Miss Jiachen was fine, as if she saw us coming back, and she was very polite and distributed snacks with the maid next to her, Li Qitang looked out the window, counted the hours, and just looked at the pond and was distracted.

I also paid attention to the pond, and always felt that the mysterious hands were about to stretch out, but the pond was now unmoving, very peaceful, and under the warm autumn sun, the scenery on the shore was picturesque, and it was only a peaceful color.

After a while, even the fiery sunset gradually faded, the sky darkened, only to hear a commotion outside, I heard that Tanhualang was back, sure enough, a moment later, Tanhualang came back to the house, and asked Miss Jiachen very attentively about today's situation.

Miss Jiachen smiled and said it was okay. Tanhualang asked us again, "If I come to subdue demons and eliminate demons again tonight, what can I do to help?" Because I have never seen the real body of the ghost god, I also want to open my eyes. ”

Li Qitang replied: "If Brother Gu is interested, he can naturally come and watch, but don't be scared."

When Tanhualang heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "That's really good!" The monster who dares to murder his wife, Gu will definitely not turn a blind eye, and will definitely return an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. ”

Li Qitang said to Miss Jiachen again: "Madam, you have to be wronged today, there is a way not to enter the tiger's den, but to get the tiger, where you are, the demon will inevitably find where, so that not only protects your thoughtfulness, but also leads the demon out."

When Tanhualang heard this, he asked very worriedly: "But Madame's condition, I'm afraid it's ......."

Although Miss Jiachen's face was pale, she still nodded very resolutely: "It's okay, since this is the need to get rid of demons and ghosts, then the concubine will do what Li Gongzi instructs, Gu Lang doesn't have to worry, I believe that Li Gongzi and the Dragon God Envoy have their own proportions."

Li Gongzi bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your understanding." The daughter of the reborn general

Late at night, Li Qitang led our group to the room of the screen.

Li Qitang respectively pasted the yellow paper that could be invisible in front of the demons and ghosts on me and Tanhualang, and told me and Tanhualang to hide behind the door, wait and see, and don't make a sound.

Li Qitang put the same thin line in front of the screen as I saw last time, and nodded at us, indicating that it was done, and I waited with bated breath for the former snow girl to come.

After a while, I was sleepy, I couldn't help nodding slightly, almost about to dream, Li Qitang was busy with me, gently pulled me, I barely woke up, looked up, only to see Tanhualang staring at the door, Miss Jiachen's face was also a little ugly.

Huh? I pricked up my ears, and all I could hear was a slight clicking sound at the door, like it was raining. I suddenly came to my senses, looked straight out of the door, and sure enough, after a while, a faint translucent figure came in from the door, like a gust of wind, the figure was a delicate woman, but her face was pale, even her lips did not have a trace of blood, the whole person did not have a trace of anger, and her eyes were dull and stagnant.

On her left hand, she was missing an index finger, which looked very distressing. And on her head, there is still the pink peach blossom hairpin.

It seems that this is the former snow girl, she seems to have just been drenched in a heavy rain, her hair is dripping straight down, and the water droplets slide down her face, clothes, and hair on the carpet, and a long water stain appears on the carpet.

Miss Xixue seems to be completely invisible to us because of Li Qitang's invisibility talisman. Her eyes stared directly at Miss Jiachen, and approached Miss Jiachen step by step, and although Miss Jiachen said that her face was pale with fright, she still clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and asked, "You...... Who are you? Why do you want to make trouble here several times? ”

And Tanhualang was still wise and martial, and vowed to protect Miss Jiachen Zhouquan, but at this moment, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, trembling like chaff all over his body, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes on the other, probably reciting the Buddha's name silently in his heart.

Miss Xixue didn't answer, but approached Miss Jiachen step by step, but actually crossed Miss Jiachen and walked behind the screen, and after a while, she turned around from behind the screen, and saw that there was a chair next to Miss Jiachen, so she reached out and hugged it, and was about to smash it on Miss Jiachen with an expressionless face!

Seeing this, Miss Jiachen was already unable to dodge, but at this time, the bare feet of the former Snow Girl were touching the red line connected to the screen next to Miss Jiachen, and in an instant, the red line was like a line of lightning, tightly winding the former Snow Girl.

The Snow Girl was stunned for a moment, as if she had never expected this to happen, but she couldn't struggle, and the red thread suddenly hung the Snow Girl in the air.

It's strange, this red rope is really powerful, even a ghost without a body can be entangled, Li Qitang is really good.

Li Qitang still motioned to me and Tanhualang not to make a sound, stood up by himself, and asked loudly: "Dare to ask Miss Xixue, why is she so obsessed and embarrassed by Miss Jiachen?" ”

Miss Xixue glared at Li Qitang with very hateful eyes, but she was still speechless.

Li Qitang said: "I can guess why the former snow girl haunts near the screen, presumably to find something missing?" ”

Miss Xixue neither nodded nor shook her head, just stared at Li Qitang indifferently, her face full of resentment.

I couldn't help but worry at the moment, that kind of look looked not only very dangerous, but also very, ominous.

Li Qitang didn't flinch at all, but said generously: "What Miss Xixue wanted to find, but I found it below. As he spoke, he lifted the corner of the screen, and there was a hidden box under the screen, and in that dark grid, there was a small square box. The cute son is greedy for money

Strange, what is this? Miss Jiachen also looked puzzled and asked, "Master Li, what is in this box?" I don't know why I'm in my own home, but there's a dark compartment under the screen. ”

looked at Tanhualang again, and asked strangely, "Gu Lang, is this your thing?" ”

I glanced at Tanhualang, who shook his head like a rattle, but he didn't say anything.

When Miss Xixue heard the word "Gu Lang", her eyes widened, and she patrolled the room, but she could only see Li Gongzi and Miss Jiachen, struggling desperately, and the red thread she pulled kept shaking, looking like it was shaky and very dangerous.

Li Qitang said: "I heard that there is a legend in Xichuan, that is, if you kill someone, the unjust soul will definitely come back to seek revenge, if you want to keep the secret of killing people, you must cut off the tongue of the deceased and bury it under the screen, the ghost cannot pass through the screen, and the tongue will not return to the ghost's body, so even if the ghost appears, it will always keep a secret because it can't speak, right?" ”

What a bloody legend, the listener is really uncomfortable, I looked at the Snow Maiden, and suddenly understood, the soul of the Snow Maiden can't speak, could it be......

Miss Xixue nodded and looked straight at the tongue, revealing an expression that seemed to cry but not cry, and seemed to laugh but not laugh.

In this way, Miss Xixue was killed? Nishikawa ...... By the way, the old man who raised the goose said, the former snow girl is indeed a Xichuan person, is it possible, I looked at the Tanhualang who was panting and panting, and his handsome face had already been distorted and deformed, and I guessed a few points in my heart, but I really couldn't believe that such a terrible thing would really be done by this Yushu Linfeng and talented Tanhualang.

And Ah Jiachen girl is naturally also ice and snow smart, but seeing her looking at the former snow girl in disbelief, and then at Tanhualang, she said in a trembling voice: "Is it possible...... Gu Lang, you ...... Gu Lang, you, I remember Gu Lang, you are also from Xichuan, right? ”

Li Qitang hurriedly said: "Brother Gu can't open his mouth now, it's better to return this tongue to Miss Xixue, and let Miss Xixue tell the truth of the facts!" ”

As I said the incantation, I saw the box quickly open and close, and a vague thing flew out, and Miss Xixue opened her mouth slightly, and said softly: "Gu Lang, Gu Lang, is he also there?" Where is Gu Lang? ”

Miss Jiachen had completely forgotten her fear at this moment, stood up tremblingly, and asked, "You, what is your relationship with Gu Lang?" ”

Miss Xi Xue looked at Miss Jiachen directly, and said word by word: "If you hadn't appeared, then I would be the wife of Gu Langming's main house." ”

"Wife...... Wife ......" Miss Xixue's eyes widened in disbelief: "What are you talking about......"

Miss Xi Xue looked hopelessly at the empty house for her, and said: "What I said is what you heard, I and Gu Lang, when I was seven years old, made a marriage contract, originally, he returned from the scientific expedition, he was going to carry a sedan chair eight times, and marry me as a wife in a beautiful way, when he studied hard in the cold window, he always said to me, Xi Xue, you wait, one day, you can become the most beautiful young grandmother of the Gu family in the world, the words are still in my ears, I have landed for so long, and when he is finally about to fulfill his promise, you have appeared......"

When Miss Jiachen heard this, as if she had been slapped loudly, she stepped back, stumbled, and sat down on the chair: "You...... What do you mean...... I ......"

"Don't you know?" Miss Xixue was half mocking, and said sadly: "In this world, I am afraid that there is nothing that a young lady of noble origin like you wants, but cannot get, even if that kind of thing is more precious than life to others." ”

"No...... It's impossible......" Miss Jiachen couldn't stop shaking her head, the expression on her face was extremely stiff: "Why? She turned her head to look at Tanhualang, who was already full of horror, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are these all true?" ”
