Chapter 37: Strange Fragrance
Early the next morning, the coachman came to the door of the inn early, and Lu Yiyao went downstairs to retreat after packing up, and then got into the carriage and left.
Because the ox cart gave her a shadow yesterday, she specially added extra money to let the coachman put a mat in it, which was much more comfortable.
During this time, Lu Yiyao also knew that it had been almost a hundred years since she died, and she didn't know what Liucheng looked like now!
And what happened to her parents after her accident? It must be very sad to think about it!
She is an old woman and the only seedling in the family, and she has been pampered by the two elders since she was a child. I don't know how many times my mother will cry when she goes! It was she who was unfilial, so she let the two old white-haired people send the black-haired people.
When I went back this time, it was already a matter of fact. I don't know if their Lu family is still there?
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Yiyao thought a lot by herself, and her thoughts were very chaotic.
"Childe, it's noon, let's rest in front and then continue on our way!" The coachman said to Lu Yiyao outside.
"Hmm!" Lu Yiyao changed her voice and agreed in a man's voice.
This voice change skill was still something she learned from a ventriloquist master out of boredom before! In the eyes of outsiders, the eldest lady of the Lu family is virtuous and virtuous, and everyone is beautiful, but in fact, she is not good at jumping out.
It's just that as a young lady, there are some things that should be learned! And Lu's father and Lu's mother are very fond of her, as long as she doesn't do too much, she won't care, let her go!
The coachman parked the carriage, tied the horse to a tree, and went to find a place to sit down.
Lu Yiyao lifted the curtain and looked out, today's weather is good!
The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds, as if they had been sunburned, floated slowly with the wind......
Because it rained a little last night, the road was full of marks that had been crushed by the wheels of the car at the moment, which looked a little muddy, so Lu Yiyao sat directly outside the carriage and soaked up the sun.
I took out the water bladder and the baked biscuits I bought in the morning, and ate a lunch, and the biscuits were sloppy, but I didn't taste at all, and I choked my throat.
After eating half of it, Lu Yiyao couldn't eat anymore, and after drinking a few sips of water, Lu Yiyao put things back, basked in the sun, and closed his eyes to recuperate!
After staying for about half an hour, the coachman woke up Lu Yiyao and started driving.
"How long will it take to get to Dongyang Town?" Lu Yiyao asked.
"If you go back to Gongzi, you will be there in one more hour!" The coachman surveyed the distance in the carriage and replied.
"Got it!"
Lu Yiyao lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage window, looked at the good weather outside, and was in a much better mood, closed his eyes and recalled in his mind the books about the art of charms that Fu Yao had read in the spirit world.
That book was left by the ancestor of the Fu family before the retreat, and only those descendants could read it, although Fu Yao didn't practice at that time, but not a single book that should be read was left behind.
Time passed quickly, and Dongyang Town arrived.
The coachman drove Lu Yiyao to an inn and stopped, "Childe, this inn is the inn I often come and go to, and the reputation, environment, and service are very good!" What do you think, Childe? ”
Lu Yiyao looked at the outside of this inn, it was not very luxurious, but it was about to be, this coachman should have cooperated with this inn to bring her here, but Lu Yiyao didn't poke him, nodded, got out of the car and went in to have a look!
When I entered the inn, because no one ate in the afternoon, a few guests occasionally passed by. Xiao Er dozed off on the table.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Lu Yiyao coming in, he put down the pen in his hand and greeted him with a smile, "Childe, do you want to stay in a hotel or eat?" ”
"Stay!" Lu Yiyao said lightly, "If you want an upper room, it's best to be able to see the street outside!" ”
Lu Yiyao likes to watch the people coming and going on the street from a high place, although it will be a little noisy, but Lu Yiyao doesn't care.
"Okay!" The shopkeeper made a note in his notebook and pulled out a bamboo plaque with a key hanging from the box below.
"Dongzi, quickly take the guests to the Tianzifang No. 5 upstairs!" The shopkeeper called to the second little man over there.
The little two spirits ran over and answered, "Eh! ”
quickly ran to Lu Yiyao's side, bent over and said, "Guest, please go upstairs!" ”
Lu Yiyao followed this little er named Dongzi upstairs, "The guest is here!" ”
Tianzifang No. 5 is in the innermost part of the corridor, facing the street outside, Lu Yiyao is very satisfied.
Lu Yiyao took out ten copper plates from his arms and handed them to Xiao Er, asking him to fetch a basin of water.
Entered the room, looked at it very clean, very spacious, quite satisfied!
Xiao Er soon brought the water over, Lu Yiyao washed his face, and relaxed on the soft couch next to the bed and watched the people coming and going downstairs was very lively, it was really relaxing!
After resting, Lu Yiyao put on makeup on her face again, covered it up, and went out.
The shopkeeper's eyes saw her and stopped her, "Childe, stay!" ”
"What's wrong?" Lu Yiyao stopped in confusion and looked at the shopkeeper's face puzzled.
"Childe, forgive me, the villain just wants to remind Childe to come back early after going out, and come to ...... Dongyang Town is a little uneven. The shopkeeper laughed.
Lu Yiyao was aroused by curiosity and approached the shopkeeper, "Can the shopkeeper be more detailed?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at Lu Yiyao with a sad face. Lu Yiyao said a few more good words, and the shopkeeper signaled her to lean forward a little, and whispered to Lu Yiyao, "Childe, you don't know." Recently, there have always been young men missing for no reason here in Dongyang Town, and then his body will appear in the place where he disappeared every few days, and they are all sucked out of blood and become a dried corpse......"
Lu Yiyao listened to all the thoughts after listening. The shopkeeper thought that Lu Yiyao didn't believe it when he saw Lu Yiyao's appearance, and continued, "I'm not alarmist, many people know about this, and it makes people panic, I heard that the prefect has already handed a fold to the top, and the demon catcher will come down soon!" Don't go home late these two nights, let alone go out at night! ”
"Thank you for the reminder, I'll be back soon!" Lu Yiyao said with a straight face, and then went out.
Since there was such a thing, Lu Yiyao didn't stay long, just went outside for a walk. I ate some snacks, bought some things to be used on the road, and it was not too early to see the sky, so I was ready to go back if I thought about the shopkeeper.
On the way back, Lu Yiyao smelled a strange fragrance when he passed by an alley, and looked at the source of the fragrance, just as a woman's back flashed around the corner of the alley.
Lu Yiyao didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but the fragrance was really rare, and she had never smelled it.
It's like the scent of an orchid, but it's even more intense and intoxicating.
Lu Yiyao showed a regretful look, if it weren't for the inconvenience, she really wanted to catch up and ask how this incense was prepared!
After seeing Lu Yiyao come back, the shopkeeper showed a relaxed smile, but Lu Yiyao was a little embarrassed.
