096 Dream of a dead man

Luo Xuyan stood by the window for a moment and returned to the mourning hall, everything was going on in an orderly manner, thanks to the experience over the years.

Mr. Feng Shui calculated the approximate location according to the birthday of Zeng Tingshi and the terrain outside Jingzhou, and waited to go outside the city with Mrs. Zeng to have a look, and after selecting the place, he could start building the cemetery as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, when Mrs. Zeng had packed up and the carriage and horses were ready, she was about to set off for the outside of the city.

Originally, the white steward followed, but Luo Xuyan temporarily changed her mind and left the white steward to take care of her at home, and she called Cui Jing, who was sleeping under the quilt in the house.

"I'll take you out." She said flatly.

Cui Jingshi hugged the pillow and rolled on the kang, "I won't go, I won't go, I won't go......"

"......" Luo Xuyan looked at his crazy appearance and felt funny.

Think about the appearance of this person over the years, it is really good at acting.

She slapped Cui Jingshi on the shoulder, held his body stiffly, and asked, "When I brought you to Jingzhou, didn't I say that I would take you out to play?" You're looking forward to it. ”

Her last sentence was meaningful, but Cui Jingshi was still reluctant.

He said, "It looks so hot outside......

Luo Xuyan said: "There are umbrellas, fans, and chilled mung bean soup, how can it be hot?" ”

Cui Jingshi sat up suddenly, his eyes seemed to be twinkling, "There is mung bean soup?" ”

"Yes, there are still a lot of good food, drink and fun waiting for you." Luo Xuyan said faintly, watching Cui Jingshi's every move.

She figured it out, this guy likes this trick the most, and he will never always show that he has a deep interest in someone or something, but he has to pretend to be reluctant first, and then be persuaded to agree.

"Alright then, I'll go!" Cui Jingshi jumped up from the kang and put on his shoes neatly.

He stole a glance at Luo Xuyan, a little unsure of what this girl was planning again.

Then let's see the move.

Luo Xuyan put on her shoes when she was waiting for Cui Jing, and reached out to pull his clothes for him, but when he was rolling around on the bed just now, his hair was a little messy, so she had to bring a comb, but ......

She looked up at the man who was a head taller than herself, and ordered, "Squat down." ”

"Oh." Cui Jingshi squatted down obediently.

Luo Xuyan walked around behind him and combed his hair.

Cui Jing felt the comb teeth running through her hair, and somehow, there was a cold feeling on her back, and she couldn't help but look up to see Luo Xuyan behind her.

"Don't move!" Luo Xuyan pressed his head.

Cui Jingshi was obedient and didn't move, but his mouth was not idle, and said, "I dreamed." ”

"Huh?" Luo Xuyan responded, and now in her opinion, this man's words and deeds have a purpose.

Cui Jingshi continued: "I dreamed of a man I didn't know. ”

"What does it look like?" Luo Xuyan asked.

Cui Jingshi frowned, "um" for a long time, as if he was meditating.

Luo Xuyan was not in a hurry at all, and combed her hair slowly.

Cui Jingshi pondered that he was about to comb his hair before he spoke: "It seems to be tall and thin, with a beard, the same age as my father, and wearing a good expensive dress." ”

"Oh?" Luo Xuyan asked, "What kind of clothes?" ”

"The red one, like the bridegroom's officer!" Cui Jingshi clapped his hands and said, "But ...... At this age, can you still be a groom's official? It's amazing......"

Luo Xuyan already had a count of who this person was, and asked, "What did he say to you?" ”

"Hmm......" Cui Jingshi scratched his chin, "he said......"

Luo Xuyan urged this time, "What did he say?" ”

Cui Jingshi rubbed his face and said, "He seems to be saying that someone killed him, and he died so painfully, but no one knows...... It's strange, if he is dead, how can he talk to me? ”

Luo Xuyan stopped what she was doing, leaned over, and looked at Cui Jingshi's side face.

He didn't seem to understand why a big living person would say he was dead.

She sighed faintly and said, "The person you dreamed of is probably Zeng Assassin, the one who is lying in the mourning hall now, and he looks like you said, wearing a dark crimson official robe." ”

Cui Jingshi trembled, as if he was terrified, "You said that what I dreamed of was really a dead person?!" ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan nodded.

Cui Jingshi hugged his arms, shrunk his neck, and said in horror: "Why is this......"

"What do you think?" Luo Xuyan asked rhetorically.

"I ...... I don't know? Cui Jingshi looked scared and innocent.

Luo Xuyan said: "Who told you to stay in someone's mourning hall last night? If you don't run around, he won't give you dreams. ”

Cui Jingshi's shoulders shook three times, and his palms rubbed vigorously on his arms, "I...... I'm never going again. ”

"Good." Luo Xuyan patted him on the shoulder and continued to comb his hair.

Cui Jing was a little depressed.

Luo Xuyan didn't look out of the ordinary, it seemed that there was no way to get words out of her mouth.

"Miss Ayan......" At this time, Zhiyue ran into the house and saw that Miss was actually combing Ah Ba's hair, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it for a while.

Luo Xuyan glanced at her expressionlessly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Her expression and tone were like combing a man's hair, which was a very common thing.

Waiting for Yue hurriedly replied, "Miss Ayan, it's time to go." ”

"I see." Luo Xuyan nodded, put down the comb, and gently pushed Cui Jing, "Let's go." ”

Zhiyue was a little surprised, "Miss Ayan, are you going to take him over?" ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan's word has an undoubted meaning.

I won't say anything when I wait for the moon.

Luo Xuyan turned to Cui Jingshi's face, looked up at his stupid face, the horror had not yet dissipated from his eyes, and he seemed to be still afraid of the dead man in his dream.

She said: "Ah Ba, remember, after going out, you have to obediently follow your sister in the moon, and never leave an inch, you know?" Don't talk either, except for the people in our shop, no one is allowed to talk to you and respond, otherwise, I won't give you good food. ”

"Oh......" Cui Jingshi agreed softly, looking still immersed in panic.

Luo Xuyan took the lead in walking outside, and followed closely behind her when Waiting Moon took Cui Jing.

At the door, a team of carriages and horses was ready to go.

Luo Xuyan waited for a while, and Mrs. Zeng came out surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law, and overnight, this graceful and elegant woman became haggard and old.

"Miss Luo, I'm sorry for you." She nodded her head.

Luo Xuyan saluted, "Madam, please rest assured." ”

Mrs. Zeng was supported by the maid and slowly boarded the carriage.

"Be careful, ma'am." The maid said.

Madame Zeng sighed and got into the carriage.

Luo Xuyan gestured to Zhiyue, motioning for the two of them and Mr. Feng Shui to follow her into the carriage behind.

After sitting down for a while, the carriage and horses set off outside the city.

Luo Xuyan quietly observed Cui Jing sitting by the window.

This man suddenly mentioned to her that Zeng Assassin Shi, and he preferred to stay in the mourning hall yesterday, coupled with the inexplicable soreness under her shoulder, all of which showed that he cared about the cause of Assassin's death, or ...... Did he find out that the assassin had died unexpectedly?

Why did he care about how Zeng Assassin Shi died? What does he have to do with Zeng Assassin?

Seeing him dangling in front of the Zeng family with a big grin, he was definitely not an acquaintance of the Zeng family.

A cloud of suspicion lingered in Luo Xuyan's mind, but she couldn't ask it directly, which annoyed this vicious person.

But...... Looking at the way he acted, she couldn't imagine that he could be involved with the person in his previous life.

Luo Xuyan pondered for a stomach full of questions, and before she knew it, the carriage and horse came to the foot of the mountain.

After Mrs. Zeng got out of the car, she looked around, nodded and said, "This place is beautiful and beautiful, and it is the place that the master loved when he was alive." ”

Luo Xuyan motioned to Mr. Feng Shui to lead the way, and she followed not far behind.

Mr. Feng Shui and Mrs. Zeng were talking, and the two could talk very well, so Luo Xuyan was able to pay more attention to Cui Jingshi.

Cui Jingshi naturally noticed Luo Xuyan's eyes from time to time, and obediently followed Sister Zhiyue's side calmly, occasionally pretending to be unable to speak, but quickly covered his mouth, looking a little stupid.

Luo Xuyan didn't react to this at all, and when Mrs. Zeng finally chose the cemetery and asked about the style of the tombstone, she took a few steps forward and explained to Mrs. Zeng in detail.

Cui Jingshi deliberately moved two steps outside and looked at the lush mountain forest.

The vegetation here is lush and the water is murmuring, which is not only beautiful scenery, but also suitable for Tibetans.

Cui Jingshi pretended to be afraid of the sun, pressed the hat slightly, and then shook the fan to cover most of his face, only a pair of eyes secretly scanned the surroundings.

From the state yamen to here, there is still no trace of his subordinates.

Where the hell are they?

Cui Jingshi sighed slightly in his heart.

Suddenly, among the trees not far away, a black shadow flashed rapidly, like a wisp of black smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

His eyes lit up, staring intently in that direction.

The shadow never reappeared.

But Cui Jing was sensitively aware that someone was secretly spying on them in the dark.

Is it the one who killed the assassin?

Cui Jingshi clenched the fan in his hand tightly, so as to cover his face more tightly.

"Ahba, I'm so hot too." Wait for the moon to come over and want to take away his pu fan, "Fan me for a while, okay?" ”

"I'll fan you." Cui Jingshi smiled, turned his steps, turned his back to the direction of the black shadow, and fanned the moon, "Sister Waityue, how is it?" ”

When Zhiyue looked at Cui Jing, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite sensible as a kid." ”

Cui Jingshi continued to giggle.

Waiting for the moon is beautiful and enjoying the cool wind, but Cui Jing is not so relaxed.

He fanned the wind as he kept an eye on the movement around him.

Mrs. Zeng came out and followed some catchers and officials, all of whom were carrying knives, and stood away with serious faces, staring at the surroundings.

However, the ability of these people is not enough to detect the existence of dark shadows in the shadows, let alone if there is a conflict in front of them, these traps can come in handy.

Cui Jingshi lowered his head slightly, and glanced at Luo Xuyan from the corner of his eye.

Mrs. Zeng was talking to Mr. Feng Shui, and Luo Xuyan was idle again and was walking towards them.

"Miss Ayan, Aba is so good." Zhiyue praised: "He fanned me." ”

Luo Xuyan's gaze fell on Cui Jingshi's body and felt strange.

He seemed to be hiding from someone.

She couldn't help but look around.

The mountains and forests are quiet, only the sound of water and birdsong.

Did he realize that his enemies were hiding in the mountains and forests?

Luo Xuyan was a little curious, who his enemy would be, and if he could know, he might be able to deduce his identity.

After thinking about it, she said, "Wait for the moon, my hands are a little dirty, go to the stream over there to wash my hands." ”

Zhiyue said: "I'll accompany you." ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan nodded and looked at Cui Jingshi.

This guy is going to stay with the moon all the time.

Cui Jingshi whispered, "Can we go to the stream to have fun?" ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan was a little surprised by his reaction, but without saying anything, she walked towards the stream.

Zhiyue followed behind when she pulled Cui Jing.

The creek was not far from them, a dozen steps away.

Luo Xuyan looked up along the current, the stream was flowing down from a boulder on the mountain, the water was clear, and there were small fish fry swimming quickly through the water.

By the stream, a field of brightly colored wildflowers swayed in the breeze, sending a faint fragrance.

Luo Xuyan didn't rush to wash her hands, first held the flowers and smelled the fragrance, and then looked around before leaning over to wash her hands, the stream was cool and very comfortable.

"Come here, it's cool." She called.

Zhiyue leaned over excitedly, "Really, it's so comfortable...... I want to wash my face. ”

Luo Xuyan said: "Be careful not to wet your hair." ”

"I'll be careful!" Zhiyue rolled up her sleeves and was about to make a move, but when she saw Cui Jing stunned to the side, she beckoned: "Ah Ba, are you coming over too?" ”

Cui Jingshi shrank back, "I'm ...... I don't dare. ”

"What's not to dare?" Zhiyue smiled, stretched out her hand to pull someone, "It's just a stream, you step into it, the water just doesn't reach the instep." ”

Cui Jingshi hurriedly shrank back, dodging her hand, with a frightened face.

Waiting for Yue pouted and said, "Ah Ba seems to be afraid of water?" Ah, yes...... Didn't he fall into the water and be dragged to Yizhuang by the yamen as a dead man? You must have a fear of water, right? ”

Luo Xuyan glanced at him, "Then leave him alone." ”

Waiting for the moon to say "um", he went to play in the water by himself.

Luo Xuyan took out a handkerchief, wiped her hands carefully, and glanced at Cui Jing again out of the corner of her eye.

He stood restrained, his hat still low, and only half of his face could be seen.

After wiping her hands, Luo Xuyan walked slowly in front of him and sighed: "The scenery of this place is so good, if it weren't for the purpose of this trip to choose a cemetery, I would like to walk around and see." ”

Waiting for Yue answered: "When you're done, won't you have time to go shopping?" ”

"yes." Luo Xuyan raised her hand and patted Cui Jingshi on the shoulder, "I'll take you to play." ”
