"Ah...... Ah ......"

There was a faint sound.

She opened her eyes vigorously, and everywhere she saw was frost and snow, and she could see no one in the distance, and the drifting mist rose above her head, and the surroundings were white.

She wore no shoes, only a snow-white veil on her body, and walked in a trance, the voice seemed to have been calling to her in front of her, and with each step, her feet were cut by the dry and sharp weeds, and the blood marks were burned.

"Ah...... Ah ...... Don't go any further...... Don't go any further......"

Again, the voice came, with a crying tone.

She looked dazed and shook her head desperately, "Who are you?" ”

She ran resolutely to clear the fog, only to see that the snow in front of her had dispersed, and the wasteland had suddenly turned into an oasis, and a small woman sat on the bluestone slab by the stream.

Dressed in white tulle like her, with no shoes on her feet, her black hair neatly tied up, her bun and silver bell hairpins, the corners of her mouth are shallow, and her eyebrows are cinnabar.

Exactly the same face.

The woman smiled, her feet swaying back and forth in the stream, and when she saw her, she suddenly stopped, and the smile on her face faded away.

"Ahhh......h

Immediately, the whole person seemed to change into a person, his face began to be hideous, and a terrible smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha...... When you finally came, I knew that you wouldn't leave so many people alone. ”

"If you die, you die, if you live, all the people in the world will be buried for you, and you will definitely choose the people of the world, right?"

The man smiled and held out his hand to her, and then she jerked her head and shouted, "Ah, go quickly, you will die if you continue like this." ”

Tears rolled down her cheeks, "You go back to your world, don't stay in this world any longer." ”

"Do you know that if you go against the sky, after the qi is exhausted, all that awaits you is death, and you can't save everyone."

She stood on the side of the stream, looking at the bluestone slab opposite, like the person who had been divided, the same person, talking to two people, what they were saying, but they couldn't understand it at all.

She tried to escape, but it was as if she was frozen.

"Who are you?" Again, she cautiously tested.

"Who am I? Ah, I'm ...... You......" The man looked up and smiled at her with a pair of stunned eyes.

Suddenly, she raised her face, kicked her feet back, the white gauze rose lightly, drew an arc in the air, and then the whole person slowly floated in front of her like goose feathers.

"Life and death are fateful, you come and I will rest, a soul twin, how sad and unfortunate."

She approached, whispered in her ear, and then, with her hands forward, pushed her straight into the water.

……

"Smack......

"Ah......" Lin Qi sat up from the bed suddenly, and the cold sweat had wet the futon in front of him.

She reached out and wiped it, the beads of sweat on her forehead and the tears on her face melted together, and she was wet.

Outside, it was a thick night, and the cold wind almost blew the wooden cork of the window.

"Miss, don't be afraid, the wild cat that came from nowhere broke the parrot's jade food plate in the yard, and the slave maid has already let people clean it up."

The door was pushed open, and the ugly cloak, carrying a lantern, cautiously entered the door and hung up the lantern.

Lin Qi was still panting, his hands clenched the futon, and he turned his eyes to look at the dark night outside, "What time is it now?" ”

"The third watch has just passed."

"Miss, but you're having nightmares again?" Seeing that her face was covered with sweat, he was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he hurriedly took off his cloak and put it on her.

She exhaled, raised her eyes to look at the ugly, shook her head, was stunned for a long time and lay down again, "It's okay." ”

It wasn't until after the ugly was gone that he opened his eyes again.

"Life and death are fateful, I will rest when you come, a soul twin, how sad and unfortunate?" Lin Qi read out softly, as if he already knew something, "That person just now, it's you, right?" ”

It's you, right? Luo Bai Su!

Until the second half of the night, Lin Qi did not sleep peacefully, and fell asleep in a daze, but his consciousness was very clear.

I don't know how long later, a series of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the door, one after another, and then there was a sound of gongs and drums.

Because the courtyard where Lin Qi lived was closest to the back door, if there was any loud noise outside the door, she could hear it here.

Lin Qi turned over and sat up, only to see Ugly Chou running in in a panic, and closed the door half to death with a frightened face, "Miss, there are all people patrolling the autopsy outside, but you can't go out." ”

"Patrol autopsy?!"

In Tianyu, the autopsy was personally set up by the emperor for the deceased.

After a person dies, he must first inform everyone, from the emperor to the people, and must not be informed by means of a notification, so the person who patrols the autopsy hangs the mourning flag, beats the gong and drums and walks in the whole city first, and someone can see it at a glance.

Moreover, the autopsy patrol is set up by the emperor himself, not everyone is qualified to bother the autopsy patrol people, only some Tianyu people who are highly respected, the founding fathers, the old generals of the former dynasty, and the people with outstanding merits can be dispatched to patrol the autopsy.

"Who's home?" Lin Qi instantly fell asleep, and a bad premonition permeated his heart, which could not be dissipated.

Ugly shook her head innocently, she only heard about it at the gate of the courtyard, where did she dare to go out to see it in person.

"Unknown"

"But Miss, it's only the fifth watch, the coldest hour, you go out now, the slave is afraid that you will be infected with the wind and cold, your body is already weak, or wait for dawn to go."

Chouchou saw the panic in Lin Qi's eyes, and immediately persuaded him.

"The autopsy patrol has already come here, and it has been two moments since the person came." She muttered, her eyes glazed over.

Suddenly, the wooden bolt at the window was broken into two with a "......snap", and the cold wind poured directly into it, and the curtain fluttered in the wind.

In the backyard, the sound of a little yellow restless dog barking resounded throughout the night.

"Miss......" Ugly Chou also seemed to feel the difference, so frightened that he walked over a few steps and closed the window, shivered, and shrank into Lin Qi's arms.

"Wait a little longer."

You can't hide from what you should have come.

Lin Qi lay down slowly, her heart was clear, she could almost expect the seriousness of this matter, but she was afraid that once tonight passed, there would be another uproar.

……

The next day, before dawn, I listened to the chatter and discussion of the maid outside the door, and the ugly went out to inquire, but after a while, he stumbled back again.

"Miss, I inquired, yes...... It is the Shangshu Mansion in the south of the city, the Yun family. ”

Sure enough, it's him, Yun Bolin!

Afterwards, Lin Qi immediately asked people to prepare a generous gift, put on plain white clothes, and went directly to Yunfu.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that the white cloth was hanging high above and below the Yunfu, and the plaque on the gate was covered with a whole piece of white cloth, and the plaque was completely shrouded, and the main door was also wrapped in white cloth, and even the stone lions and stairs at the door were covered with white enclosure and white carpet.

A group of people dressed in filial piety clothes, wearing filial piety cloth on their heads, carrying pots and stools and wooden frames, went in and out, looking very hurried.

If it was an ordinary funeral, it would never be like this, could it be that something big happened to the Yun family last night?

"It's really a shame, it was fine yesterday, how did it end up like this overnight, hey......"

"I heard that last night, the "flower thief" appeared again, not to mention the disaster of the Yun family, the old lady Yun was stabbed several times, and his death was miserable. ”

"The flower thief has appeared again? It's impossible, I heard that it was more than ten years ago, don't talk nonsense without evidence. ”

"Who said there is no evidence, my husband is on an errand patrol autopsy, I heard that when I went to see people last night, a bowl-sized skeleton was dug out of the corpse's head, with white bells inserted in it."

"White ...... Bellflower ......"

Lin Qi followed the prestige, and saw that among the people surrounding the pile, the people who spoke the most were the most rising, and they were bowing to the gate of Yunfu.

Hearing one of them talk about "flower thief" and "white bell flower", everyone present looked scared.

Lin Qi walked over and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Flower thief?" Who is it? What is this white bell flower? ”

Hearing this, those people raised their heads and looked her up and down, and when they saw that it was just a thin and weak little girl, the sympathy in their hearts suddenly flooded.

"The girl was born small, I don't know, this flower thief, but a thief who can eat people, usually after robbing and killing people, he will dig a hole in the door of the human brain, put his exclusive white bell flower, the means are vicious, hence the name."

"Legend has it that he singled out the big family as an official, as long as he came to the place, the family would die, and the family treasures would inevitably be poisoned by him, you see, the Yun family would be miserable!"

"However, these were all more than ten years ago, and the flower thief of the year had already died under the gallows, so how could he appear out of thin air now?"

"Hey...... Little girl, hurry home, this place is dangerous, and you can't stay. ”

As he spoke, the men raised their hands and scattered, and each ran away in a puff of smoke.

"Miss...... This flower thief is more scary than a ghost, we ...... Still going? The ugly ran over and grabbed her by the sleeve, her hands trembling in fright.

"Go, since it's so powerful, if you don't go, how do you know if it's a human or a ghost!"

Lin Qi's eyes were dark, and he flicked his sleeves, and led directly into Yunfu.

There was also chaos in the Cloud Mansion, with fallen tables and chairs, broken roof tiles, and fallen leaves covered with blood.

Although someone had already cleaned it up, and some of the blood had been washed away by the water, it still looked like the dangerous situation of last night.

As soon as Lin Qi entered the door, he saw Yun Tang helping the tearful Mrs. Yun out of the back room, and when he saw Lin Qi, he turned around and instructed the maid to help Mrs. Yun to the backyard.

"Lin Mu, why are you here?"

Yun Tang obviously hadn't slept all night, his eye sockets were dark and a little sunken, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke, revealing exhaustion.

"I'll come and see Grandpa Yun."

"Grandfather, he ......"

"I've heard that." Lin Qi lowered his head and held the ten-core lotus stone tightly in his hand, "I'm sorry." ”

If it is said that the flower thieves specifically picked the big families in Beijing, then there are only two reasons why the Yun family was picked, one is the Yun family's century-old foundation, and the other is the ten-core lotus stone in Lin Qi's hand.

Everyone on the rivers and lakes knows that the Yun family has a ten-core lotus stone, which can find the atmosphere of immortality, but only the Yun family knows that the ten-core lotus stone is in Lin Qi's hands.

Old Man Yun would rather die by herself than tell the truth, so she was the one who caused them.

"It's not your fault, and you don't have to blame yourself." Yun Tang sighed, closed his eyes and turned around, his hands under his sleeves were already clenched into fists.

"The Yun family has been guarding for so many years, and they have long expected that there will be today, but they didn't expect that person to not even have a complete corpse." As he spoke, his voice trembling a little.

After a long time, Yun Tang turned around, his eyes were red, "Grandfather valued you the most when he was alive, you should go and see him, come with me." ”
