Chapter 23: Visions

When the morning light is slightly dewed, the delicate face of the phoenix standing by the window is crossed with a layer of warm dawn, and the thin waist of the green dress skirt is meticulously tied, showing that it has been up for a long time.

The woman's dying laughter was still ringing in her ears, as if she was writing a preface to her strange death.

Feng knew that she couldn't let go of this case.

The sky was bright, and the golden light shone lightly over the Twin Towns, and the sun spread through the golden clouds to the world, crossing the seven streets and twelve markets, dyeing in a hundred alleys, and falling on the roofs of thousands of households. The twin towns have started to be vigorous again, not because of a few strangers to become sluggish, let alone because of a woman's death.

Feng put down his chopsticks and said to Si Ying, who was tired of eating on the side: "Go to the Chu family today to inquire about the situation, it's best to get in." ”

"The Chu family?"

"It's the husband's house of the woman who fell down the stairs and died yesterday."

Si Ying was shocked: "You want to meddle in this matter? ”

"Hmm." Feng poured a sip of fragrant porridge before saying lightly.

Si Ying didn't have anything to say, although he was reluctant in his heart, he knew that the energy in her heart began to sprout again, and she was eager to try.

That stubborn, unyielding, and soft-hearted energy.

——

The high beams and deep eaves of the Chu family are indeed more magnificent and magnificent than Si Ying imagined, he didn't know that the Chu family was so powerful.

There are two mighty and domineering stone lions at the front door, and a more majestic vermilion gate at the back. Two house slaves stood guard at the door, their faces awe-inspiring.

It's just that the Chu family didn't mourn, and they didn't let anyone mourn, thinking that it was because the woman had committed a crime.

The door was not easy to enter, so Si Ying started the idea of the back door.

The back door of the Chu family is connected to an alley, which is not a good place, it is a dead alley, a lot of dilapidated sundries of the Chu family are piled up here, only the palm-sized place in the middle is walking, and the old things have become a natural shack next to the alley wall, and it has become a good place for some beggars.

Si Ying didn't understand why the Chu family wanted to pile up the dilapidated sundries here, and forcibly pile this alley into a beggar's nest.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, maybe the news of the Chu family could be known from the mouths of these beggars.

It's just that during the day, these beggars have gone out to beg, Si Ying squinted and looked in, only one person was curled up in the pile of rubble, without hesitation, he walked towards the man, the stench came to his face, so smoked that he almost vomited, kicked away the broken pots and bowls that were in the way under his feet, the sound of clanging was still abrupt, but it didn't wake him up, not even a trace of trembling, as if he was dead.

Si Ying stopped beside him, the warm afternoon sun couldn't shine in at all, and the entire alley was shrouded in darkness, eerie, and there was a suspicious aura.

He became inexplicably nervous, he stepped forward and shouted, "Hey, are you still alive?" ”

The man didn't even respond to a few screams, Si Ying leaned down and wanted to push him, but he saw in the hazy light that the body of the curled up person seemed to shrink and shriveled up little by little, and finally only a ragged shirt remained!

Great fear pouted Si Ying's heart, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a big gray-black snake with a thick man's wrist swimming out under the beggar's clothes, and its body overflowed outward like pitch-black flowing water, and suddenly, the big snake stood up and bit at Si Ying's face.

Si Ying was so frightened that she staggered back a few steps and threw herself next to the rotten object. In an instant, the black snake immediately raised its head and swam in front of Si Ying with its mouth open.

He immediately screamed in desperation, jumped up and ran out into the alley.

As soon as he got out of the alley, he bumped into a person head-on, and the person was hit by him and suddenly fell to the ground, Si Ying only knew that he had to run for his life, and he didn't care about so much, so he grabbed the person and ran out on his shoulder.

The person who was being carried slapped Si Ying's back and scolded tremblingly: "You little boy, what are you doing robbing me of this old bone?" ”

Si Ying didn't have time to explain too much, and said in a trembling voice while running desperately: "There is a big snake that wants to eat people......"

The man was out of breath by Si Ying, and it seemed that he would not be able to return to the sky at any time, and gasped: "Where, where, there are snakes, nothing!" ”

"There really is, there really is, I just saw it!"

"Little, little erlang, don't run away, the old woman is going to die, there is nothing behind you......"

Si Ying felt that the person on his shoulder seemed to tremble, although he was afraid of the big snake, and he was afraid that this person would die on his shoulder, his heart was crossed, and he put the person down, but he saw that she was a white-haired old woman.

The old woman immediately sat down on the ground, gasped for breath, and then said, "You son of death, where is there a snake, which almost turned the old woman to death." ”

Si Ying looked back, and through the bright sunshine, there was no gray and black snake in the alley that was eating people.

He was suddenly confused, and only then did he clearly see a frightened big snake, how could it be that it was gone.

"I really saw it, a big snake, why did it disappear after such a while."

The woman trembled up, Si Ying hurriedly helped her up, her bright eyes suddenly bent into a smile, Si Ying was stunned for no reason, he actually saw a trace of cunning and ...... in the eyes of this old woman Tease.

"What kind of serpent is it?"

"Yes, yes......" Si Ying stammered a little.

"Isn't that so?" After the old woman finished speaking, her body was deflated, Si Ying looked down, where was the old woman, and the ragged clothes that had been deflated were clearly the beggar clothes he had just seen.

With a bang, a giant snake suddenly straightened up from under his clothes, and Si Ying was immediately frightened and fainted.

——

The scales on the giant python's body were shining, there was a black flesh crown on the top of its head, and a huge mouth was wrapped around Si Ying, and the slippery tail was against the back of his hand, and the big snake turned its head and swallowed him into its belly.

Si Ying shouted, my life is over!

When he opened his eyes again, Si Ying saw Feng's delicate face, which was much better than the big snake.

"There's a big snake!" Si Ying immediately jumped up, but found that he was still holding a palm in his hand, and looked at its owner along the palm, but saw Chen Zixi gritting his teeth and looking at him and said, "Can you let go?" ”

"What's going on?" Si Ying hurriedly threw away Chen Zixi's hand, no wonder there was a slippery thing sticking to the back of his hand in Fang Cai's nightmare, it turned out to be his hand.

Feng leaned his lips and chuckled, and teased: "I asked you to go to Cha Chu's house, but you slept in the beggar's nest in the back alley of his house, if it wasn't for Zixi carrying you back, did you plan to be a beggar there?" ”

"A beggar's den? Go to bed? Si Ying was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed and he was shocked: "Where is sleeping, there is a snake spirit there, it is an old woman!" ”

Feng Qianxin also straightened his face and said: "I have already guessed seven or eight of your whispers in your sleep, and you have just hit*, so I saw some illusions." ”

"Illusion ......" Si Ying lowered his head and muttered to himself, is it really an illusion, the snake and the old woman are clearly so real.

"What's next?" Si Ying looked up and asked.

Feng Qianxin raised her eyes, the exploration and stubbornness in her eyes were unreserved, and she smiled faintly: "Exploring." The secrets of the Chu family are absolutely indispensable. ”
