30 The Comers
A group of people sat down to eat, Xin Niang put a chair outside the back door of the house, and she smiled and talked between the banquets and drinks. This woman herself has a good skin and is very beautiful when she laughs, but when she sees too much, she inexplicably makes people feel cold all over her body.
The man at the dinner table was a bald man named Xiliu, and only this person was from Xiangxi like Xin Niang.
"Boss, this trip from Wuzhong to Xiangxi is also a big profit, I don't know when I can go again." He raised his glass and laughed, and the rest of the group chimed in.
Xin Niang raised her hand and straightened her sleeves, and said, "This trip, it's just a small profit, and the big one is behind." ”
Everyone was overjoyed, they chose to follow a woman to do things, for nothing more than money, and in between, everyone put their own lives in the hands of this woman, if they didn't make more money, wouldn't they live up to themselves?
Ying harmonic voice one after another, Xin Niang smiled and didn't answer, and after a while, Xiliu stopped them from drinking, and said: "What's the hurry, when did the boss lady treat us badly!" The surname is Jiang, didn't you just marry Sifang a few days ago, why is this newly bought girl worth a hundred taels? He pointed to a person and scolded with a smile, "Some flowers are collected and put in the past, do you dare to think about the current days?" ”
The surnamed Jiang's face was angry, slapped the table, and said, "I don't like to hear what you say, who is the boss lady, which brother doesn't understand?" Don't stir up trouble here, be careful and I'll go back to your wife to complain. ”
"Yo-" A long sigh dragged up, the laughter rose and fell, Xiliu also slapped the table, pointed at him and scolded: "There are four people in the bowl who are still worried about the outside, Lao Tzu is just this one, if you dare to go, I will not finish with you." ”
The laughter was uproaring, Xin Niang laughed in front of her without saying a word, and saw that they had enough trouble before clearing her throat.
"Money is a trivial matter, and I won't fight for this." She squinted and smiled, "Xiliu, what did you say about the letter you sent a few days ago?" ”
As soon as Xin Niang spoke, she immediately quieted down, only Xiliu stood, and replied: "Isn't this going back to Xiangxi, my uncle's family has a cousin, and I heard that I was arguing about this work and wanted to come. ”
That's what he said, but it's also a big mistake for him to bring someone into the team without permission, and when he thinks of the woman's methods in front of him, Xiliu can't help but feel slightly embarrassed.
After hearing this, Xin Niang had no displeasure on her face at all, and said with a giggle: "Your cousin is also here?" Why didn't you say it earlier, call in and have a drink to warm up, so I can take a good look. ”
Hearing this, Xi Liu's face couldn't help but be relieved, and he hurriedly said: "I'll call him here, this stinky boy is waiting outside the door." Then he hurried out.
After a while, a young man came in, Mo was about seventeen or eighteen years old, his skin was darker, and he was not tall, but he really looked a little similar to Xiliu. Xiliu took him to stand in front of Xin Niang and said, "This is my cousin, he is younger, and he will be able to do his job." ”
didn't see Xin Niang look at him, and only said: "You just bring yourself to take care of it, but this is still a child, can you really think about it?" Follow me, but it's for the rest of your life. ”
Xiliu also glanced at the young man and replied: "This kid has been arguing with me for several days when he came, he must be willing, and it is his blessing to work under the boss's wife." ”
The young man replied, "Yes, I do." "There is a trace of greed on his face that does not match his age, but it is also normal, the one who wants to be a man in the coffin shop is not for money?
Hearing him answer in person, Xin Niang laughed and got up from the chair, and said after a while: "Okay, very good, then from today onwards, you will be my buddy, but yes, you can't get paid for doing things for me, your cousin should have told you this, right?" ”
So saying, he got up from his chair and walked into the room, and after a while, he came out with a porcelain vase with a thin mouth, and handed it to the young man.
"Do things for me, you can't go back, you have to keep it until you can't walk." She said.
The young man nodded in response, but he didn't think so, this "can't walk" is one of them, at his age, when he can't walk, this woman will be dead for a long time, who can care? He just wants to make more money in the past few years, and leave to live in a good place if he has saved enough for a lifetime.
The second is what Xiliu said to him, as long as he drinks the contents of this bottle, he can't disobey this woman's words, although he is also a Xiangxi person, and he has naturally heard of it when he is a grass ghost woman, but he doesn't believe this, he only thinks that nine times out of ten this woman coaxes them. After all, this guy is a yin job, how many normal people are willing to do it? What if she was afraid that the person she had hired with great difficulty would one day make enough money and run away, so she made up such a statement to deceive people? This statement is normal.
Besides, there are rules in Xiangxi, such as the grass ghost woman, you can't leave Miao Village in your life, otherwise you will return sooner or later. Everything is either true or false, and when he thinks about it, he feels more and more that there is nothing to be afraid of, and he takes the porcelain bottle and drinks it in one gulp, which is no different from the water from an ordinary well, so he feels that he thinks it is good.
When the woman saw that he had finished drinking, her eyes narrowed slightly, she took back the porcelain vase, and said, "It's good, there is another one, you are still so young, you will be together in the future." ”
The dozen or so men below quickly got acquainted, and pulled the young man to start drinking, and Xiliu didn't stop him, seventeen or eighteen years old should also be the age to practice drinking courage.
Xin Niang looked at the front for a while, these naturally could not arouse her interest, seeing that it was almost midnight, she yawned and planned to go back to the house to rest, turned around and was about to open the door, but the whole person was stunned.
After a while, she put down her hand, walked back to the chair and sat down, those men were just a little drunk, and they didn't notice anything at all, and another thing in this courtyard felt that something was wrong, that is, Shen Shuyi, who was almost frozen under the broken basket.
Counting that he has been squatting here for two hours, his feet have long been numb and unconscious, but in this case, something will definitely happen when he goes out, not to be afraid of those men, the most terrible person in this courtyard is the "Xin Niang".
Although there were some things they didn't mention in their words, he could also guess that this woman was clearly a Gu girl, although he didn't know how she left Xiangxi, but there was obviously no shortage of skills. The grass ghost woman kills people, she really can live without knowing it, and some of the unlucky ones don't even know that they are dead.
What business will the grass ghost woman do? Looking at the coffin in the first courtyard, she knew that it was definitely not a living business, and these people recruited said that they were helping her, but Shen Shuyi felt that it was wrong, if these people were just helping her, there was no need to spend all this effort, and they didn't even have to give money, who would dare not to intimidate?
She fed and drank them well, and provided them with abundant money, apparently for more than that.
And what the Stygian Mirror wants him to see is more than that. These men who drank too much couldn't hear it, but he could hear it clearly, in the middle of the night, there was a strange bell from outside the courtyard, and it was said that these people should not be able to hear it, but the sound sounded like it was close to his ears, not only could he hear it clearly, but he even felt a little deafening.
This should be the so-called uninvited guest.
After Xin Niang sat down, the smile on her face did not decrease, and she asked the young man, "Boy, what is your name?" ”
The young man's face was already flushed, and he stood up and replied slowly: "My name is Zhao Yu." ”
Xin Niang read it a few times in her mouth, and suddenly said with some regret: "How old is it?" Seventeen? Or eighteen? It's really young, it's a pity ......" she paused slightly, and a chill suddenly appeared on her face, "It's a pity that the luck is not good, if it weren't for today, it's really a good embryo to raise a baby." ”
Baby? The treasure of the grass ghost woman is only Gu, Shen Shuyi's heart is slightly cold, this woman actually raises Gu in the body of a living person!
The young man couldn't understand what Xin Niang meant, and he didn't stand firm and lay on the table without making a sound.
The laughter came to an abrupt end with the fall of the gate "Peng", and outside the door stood an unusually tall figure against the moonlight, with one foot still raised, and this door was obviously his masterpiece.
"You, who are you?" One or two of the men, still conscious, asked in a loud voice.
The figure slowly withdrew its feet after a moment, and walked to the side as stiff and slow as an old man, revealing a tall and thin figure behind him.
"Oh, you're out of luck when I come," the man said lightly, "I haven't seen Mrs. Xin for so many years, and as soon as it appears, it will ruin your good deeds, don't secretly kill me for revenge." ”
Those people also shouted: "This is the territory of the boss lady, you little white face dare to go wild casually...... but these words, the two of them did not pay attention to the slightest.
Xin Niang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I must tell you in advance when I kill you, otherwise I won't count the 'friendship' for so many years." She glanced at the strange figure, and then said: "I see that you have healed the scar and forgotten the pain, why, the price was not worth it so quickly?" ”
These words seemed to poke at the man's pain, and he said after a while: "How come, such a gift villain must be kept in mind, he has to take a good look when he goes back, whether the plaque is engraved with the name of my Fei someone." ”
Xin Niang couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, as if this was ridiculous, she stopped laughing, and got up from the chair leisurely and walked towards the courtyard door step by step.
"What's the name? Your Fei Hongyong's name? She sneered: "I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to wait for this day, and you won't have this opportunity." With a flick of the fingertips hidden in his sleeve between the words, a little bit that is difficult to see with the human eye flew out.
Suddenly a knife flew out of the man's hand, as if something had happened between the two, and with a soft "click", the blade suddenly turned diagonally downward, nailed straight in front of Xin Niang's feet.
"Not to mention whether I'm afraid of you now, now there are living people in this house besides you, which has shown my great sincerity, don't you want to hear it?" He said with a sneer.
