Chapter 60: Going to the Appointment
"What's there to keep secret? You've already told you the approximate time and place. I asked curiously.
She ignored me and said nonchalantly, "This is my business, I don't want you to interfere." ”
"What are these words? You're my junior sister, of course I have to care about you! I said with a grin.
But she turned her head and stared at me very seriously, "I repeat, no, yes, you, intervene, hand!" ”
I was stunned, I didn't know what this girl was thinking, but there was no point in arguing with her again, I naturally had my plan in mind.
In the evening, I didn't dare to be distracted from other things, so I moved a stool and sat in my room near the door, pricking up my ears to listen to the noise next door. Living next door is Rui Wei.
I don't know how long later, I faintly heard the sound of a bang outside, like two sounds.
I heard a "squeak" next door, and the door seemed to open, but then it fell silent, and no footsteps were heard.
I can't say it in my heart, Rui Wei, this girl is a practitioner, and she probably has performed light skills. Quickly opened the door and looked down from the patio, only to see a red shadow flashing at the door of the inn, and someone went out.
It's definitely her! I hurried downstairs and ran out with me.
By this time, it was completely dark outside, and when I looked up, I saw that the moon had risen high, and the appointed time was almost up.
I had already asked the people in the inn about the location of the house surnamed Liu, and I didn't need to track down Rui Wei now, I just had to rush there directly.
Just as he was about to set off to follow, his arm was suddenly pulled.
Looking back, it was Wang Shaoting.
"What are you?" I think it's a little surprising, this guy shouted tired early and announced that he was going to sleep, why are he still awake at this moment?
I saw him look at the ground next to him, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'll go with you and see how many catties and taels that Daoist Zhang is." ”
I instantly understood that this person usually looks quite crisp, and when it comes to emotional matters, he is really a mother-in-law! If you care about Rui Wei, you will say that you care about Rui Wei, what does Nazhang Taoist say about it? What does it matter to you with a few pounds and a few taels!
But it was not easy to break at this time, so I had to laugh and say, "Okay! It just so happens that I'm still a little scared about ghosts and gods, and I have a companion who is bolder! ”
He nodded, and the two of us walked briskly to the west of the city.
"I see you were chatting with the people in the inn before, did you inquire about the origin of this house?" Wang Shaoting asked as he walked.
"This is very powerful," I said, "this family seems to have a lot of background, and I heard that they are distant relatives of the emperor." Originally, the family was very prosperous, and in a big house, there were dozens of people living with the master and servants. But since this spring, people in the family have begun to die mysteriously, and when they died, their bodies were blue and stiff, and their faces were hideous, and they couldn't bear to look at them directly.
Although the owner reported to the official, the government checked and found no clues to the murder, so he didn't care, only said that maybe their family had provoked something unclean to cause such a disaster, and asked them to find someone to do something like that. But after looking for many groups of people, they couldn't solve it, and their family had to move out of the house temporarily.
Originally, they moved away, and there were no more dead people in the family, but when they heard that the house seemed to be a reward from some dignitaries, it was not good to give up, so their family released a high bounty, hoping to attract the masters to help them suppress the evil spirit of the house. ”
"Do you think these claims are reliable?" Wang Shaoting asked.
"Who knows, we're not professional with this thing!" I smiled, "It depends on Aunt Rui's ability." ”
Wang Shaoting was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What did you say she made a bet with that Taoist priest?" ”
"Listen to what she means, that Taoist priest seems to have taken a fancy to her a little, and he won't lose and be his wife, haha!" I quipped.
Originally, it was just a joke, but as soon as these words came out, I saw that Wang Shaoting's face changed, his eyebrows were frowned, and he looked like he was out of his mind.
I thought to myself, it's still a young man's blood, this mind has been very obvious! But then again, Tao Zhihuan is only in his early twenties, and he is still young, when will I be able to borrow light to get a handful of blood?
He must still comfort him, and hurriedly said: "But you don't know Miss Rui Wei's methods, and the one who lost his job in the end must be that Taoist priest!" ”
"Really?" Wang Shaoting's eyes lit up, and he sighed softly, as if he was temporarily relieved.
This Liu Mansion is already close to the outside of the city, and the more I walk, the more I feel that the surroundings are desolate, and the moonlight is quietly sprinkled on the surrounding grass and trees, reflecting a cold light. It may be due to the hot weather during the day, when the earth's air is evaporated, and it is shrouded in the vicinity of the ground, and you can't see far away.
As he was walking, he suddenly saw a large black shadow in front of him, as if he had suddenly risen from the ground. "It's here!" I shouted.
Although I can't see the details clearly, the white wall that is covered with green tiles and stretches far away has shown the scale of this house, and when I walked to the door, although the gate was not tall, it was carved and inlaid with gold, and carefully decorated.
I went over and pushed the door, and it was locked. Looking through the crack in the door, there was not a single light. I touched the door knocker, and the astringency on my fingers was ash, and it seemed that there had been no one living for a while.
How do you get in? I'm worried. glanced at Wang Shaoting, and thought that it would be good if he could climb over the wall like Wang Jianguo in that world.
Wang Shaoting glanced at me and asked knowingly, "Do you want to go in?" ”
"Of course! What are we going to do if we don't go in! I whispered.
He smiled, stepped forward, one hand held up the big lock on the door, the other hand was tinkering with something, before I could go over to take a closer look, I heard a crisp sound of "horn", and the lock actually opened!
"You can even pick the lock!" I exclaimed in surprise, "No, you've ever the gentleman on the beam!" ”
"You've only been a thief! I just love researching this. He explained.
I pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Go back and teach me, and next time I make money, I can go to a rich family to get a vote!" ”
He snorted in disdain, nerdy.
When I walked in, there were courtyards and corridors everywhere, and I didn't know where Rui Wei would go.
"Look!" Wang Shaoting pointed into the distance, and I looked in the direction of his hand, and saw a relatively high small attic not far away, and immediately understood what he meant that we could climb to it and look down. He immediately gave him a thumbs up, and the two of them ran together in the direction of the little attic.
When we found there, climbed up to the third floor, and opened the window to look out, the moon had just risen in the middle of the sky, and I was a little anxious, looking around, looking for traces of Rui Wei.
"It's too easy to attract attention with the windows open, let's go there!" Wang Shaoting whispered.
When I looked at it, he was referring to a slightly upturned corner of the second floor, where we would not be seen at all if we were lying there.
So we stepped out, closed the window, and lay down on the green tiles, just in time to see a very large courtyard below. Not far away, there is a very large row of buildings, which looks like the main house of this house.
Just as he was waiting, he suddenly saw a black shadow fly down from the wall and land in the middle of the courtyard.
I looked at it, and the man was tall, dressed in a robe, and holding a sword in his right hand, and the reflection of the metal was clearly visible.
"It's not her." I whispered to Wang Shaoting. Appearing here so late, it is probably the Daoist Zhang that Rui Wei said.
When the man had stood still in the courtyard, he cried out, "I know you're coming, come out!" ”
I saw that the door of the main room suddenly opened, and another figure walked out. We both immediately tensed, craned our necks to look closely, and cheered up.
When the visitor saw Rui worried, he smiled and said, "Haha! I didn't expect you to have such a big courage as a little girl, and you really dare to go to this appointment! ”
"Why don't you dare?" Rui Wei replied with a sneer. I noticed that her hands were empty, and she didn't take out the dementor stick, she really didn't take this chapter of Taoist priests seriously!
When Daoist Zhang heard the fearlessness in her voice, he laughed and said, "Okay, good! But don't forget our agreement, if you lose, you will be my 'in-house' disciple. ”
He seems to have deliberately added an accent to the word "entering the room", and his tone revealed a lightness in his tone, which was obviously ill-intentioned.
I understood then why Rui Wei didn't tell us what their bet was, and didn't let me get involved in it. It turned out that she actually used this condition to make a bet with the other party!
I only heard Rui Wei "snort" and replied: "Don't forget, if you lose, one hundred taels of gold will be mine." ”
Ah, a hundred taels of gold! I pulled Wang Shaoting's sleeve and said excitedly: "Have you heard, there are 100 taels of gold if you win, this little girl can do it!" ”
But he ignored me completely, staring straight at the courtyard with his eyes full of murderous energy, so frightened that I almost fell off the eaves!
At that time, I thought to myself, judging from this face, if the Taoist priest won today, it is estimated that tomorrow Wang Shaoting will blow up his view, and he will take the Spring and Autumn Dream of the disciples who entered the house to ascend to heaven permanently.
But why didn't this stupid boy want to think about how such a smart girl Rui Wei could make such a big bet with him if she wasn't a little sure! That Taoist priest also miscalculated, I don't know how barbaric this aunt is, how difficult it is to mess with!
Hearing Daoist Zhang laugh for a while, he responded: "That's natural, but it depends on your ability!" ”
Then the two of them suddenly fell silent, and stood quietly on opposite sides more than ten meters apart, without moving for a long time.
And in such an atmosphere, the atmosphere didn't dare to breathe, and our eyes were about to pop out, for fear of missing a detail.
Strange to say, it was a clear sky just now, but at this time suddenly a large cloud came, covering part of the moon, and the moonlight sprinkled a wisp from the crack in the clouds, moving slowly with the fluttering of the clouds, and when it moved to the door of the main house, there was a sudden sound of Xixi Suosuo, which sounded like countless insects were flapping their wings, and seemed to be hitting each other with countless stone chips, and it seemed more and more clear in the silent night.
Before we could figure out where the sound came from, we saw the sword in Daoist Zhang's right hand stretch forward and attack Rui Wei at lightning speed!
