[[[CP|W:210|H:140|A:C|U:http://file1.qidian.com/chapters/201411/30/3318934635529567163568557137415.jpg]]] After the fat man and I returned to the capital, we slept for two days before opening the door of the antique shop to do business.

Master and Luo Dabeard have not come back since they went out, leaving behind a chirping moon, arguing all day long, and the fat man and I are both annoyed to death by her.

On this day, the antique shop officially opened, and I got up before dawn, stretched my sore waist, kicked and did some exercise, and came to the antique shop. First remove the gate from the window, then enter the store and put Yugui in the glass counter, and then clean the store inside and out, and open the door to do business.

In the next few days, some people, not knowing what they heard, came to the store one after another. At first, the fat man and I saw customers come to the door, and greeted them warmly, but later found that they just looked at a few casually and left, and did not want to buy things, so we ran out of patience, and the guests who came also ignored them, and let them look at them casually.

In this way, Yukyu has been quietly displayed in the glass counter, and we spent more than a week in boredom. On this day, there was no half of the store to patronize the whole day, and I was really idle to count the lice on my head. The fat man got tired of staying, so he gossiped nonsense, shouting that he wanted to tell Yue'er the ghost stories he heard the old man tell when he was a child.

Yue'er excitedly said to the fat man: "If it's not scary, don't give applause." After speaking, I dragged my face with my hands, waiting for the fat man to speak with a serious attitude, and I also looked at the fat man with a smile, hoping that he would tell a wonderful story to relieve his boredom.

The fat man took a sip of tea, pretended to lower his voice, and deliberately exaggerated the terrifying atmosphere and began to speak: A long time ago, in the deep mountains and old forests of the northeast, the trees were lush, the streams were murmuring, and in the quiet caves, it was said that there were monsters who had become spirits. Every night when the moon is full, he will go down the mountain to the nearby villages, find the yellow flower girl to do the things of Wushan clouds and rain, and collect yin and yang for cultivation. After dawn, the naked corpse of a woman will be found in the boudoir, and the corpse will die as if all its essence had been sucked away, like a decayed dead wood. And according to legend, the monster came and went without a trace, and no one knew what it looked like, which made people panic, and there were unmarried daughters, in order to avoid their daughters being targeted by monsters, and they hurriedly put their daughters to marry their families, or send them to other provinces to be fostered in relatives' homes.

There is a Jin family in the provincial capital, the rich one, the Jin Yuan has four daughters, three of whom have been married to women, and there is only one youngest daughter named Yanyu, who is sixteen years old and waits for the word boudoir. Yanyu looks like a peach blossom on the face of the moon, looks as beautiful as a fairy, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Jin Yuanwai loves his little daughter very much, feels that his daughter is still young, and he is reluctant to marry her early, and wants to keep her by his side for a few years. Since the news of the goblin spread, the rich children who admired Miss Yanyu felt that the opportunity had come, and began to prepare a generous gift again, asking the matchmaker to go to the Jin Mansion to talk about family affairs. Jin Yuanwai didn't believe that there were monsters at first, thinking that the official government couldn't solve the murder case, and he didn't care about fooling the people.

Later, one day when I was a guest at my friend's house, I happened to see my friend's daughter die tragically, and her body was like rotten dead wood as rumored, as if she had been sucked dry by a goblin. Only then did he begin to worry about the smoke and rain, and when he got home, he discussed with her and said, "It's not the same time, and I have to marry you early." Although it is a very moment, it will not hastily marry you, and will find a talented and good-looking son for you, and talk about the right family affairs. ”

Yanyu said to his father: "The marriage is a major event, and the parents are in charge. ”

Seeing that Yanyu agreed, Jin asked the matchmaker to release the news of the Jin family's recruitment. As soon as the news was released, it spread far and wide, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the Jin family to say their relatives, and the Jin Mansion was full of people all day long. Some sons and brothers are dressed in costumes and come to visit in person, competing for power and money, and even the second son of the family of Lord Yin Chen of the Mansion also handed over the door post, which made many people retreat. The second son of Fu Yin Fei is dignified and talented, and Jin Yuanwai feels that it is an honor for the family to climb this family business, so he is ready to respond to this family business and start discussing the marriage date.

Just when everyone thought that the family affairs of the two families would be a certainty, a young woman came to the Jin Mansion, twisted the waist of the water snake and walked to the front of Jin Yuanwai, bowed deeply, and presented a square box with both hands, which was a pearl the size of a chicken egg, saying that it was a meeting gift from her son-in-law to Miss Yanyu, and she would prepare a generous gift to visit her in person tomorrow. Everyone stared at the beads dumbfounded, thinking that the pearls on the emperor's jade crown were not so big, and the son of which family was so generous, could it be that he was not a nobleman on the prominent side of the emperor's relatives.

Jin Yuanwai took the gift box and looked at Chen Gongzi of the Fu Yin family at a loss, and Chen Gongzi smiled and said generously to the woman: "Only a really good man can win the beauty of flowers." Miss Yanyu regards money as dung, and being rich may not be able to win Miss Yanyu's favor. Go back and tell your son-in-law that tomorrow I will compete with him in real talent and learning, and the losing party will automatically withdraw from this trial. Jin Yuan was afraid of offending the second son of the Yin family, and after hearing what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly echoed: "Chen Gongzi is the best candidate for the old man's heart. is willing to deign to compete, it is really broad-minded and convincing, and he is worthy of being the son of Lord Yin's family. The people next to him were also full of admiration, and Chen Gongzi also felt that he was in his hands to win, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The next day, noon had passed, and the son mentioned yesterday had not come to the contest to recruit relatives. Everyone in the Jin family's mansion talked about it, and they all said: That person must have learned that the competitor was the son of the Yin family, and he didn't dare to come. Chen Gongzi was proud when he heard this, and felt that he had won the beauty without a fight, and he could prepare for his marriage with Miss Yanyu with peace of mind. At that moment, the gates of the Golden Mansion creaked open, and two carriages entered, one with a canopy and followed by a flatbed carriage loaded with goods. The coachman steadied the horse, jumped out of the carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage a handsome boy, who seemed to be unusually handsome. He ordered the groom to drive the flat carriage to the front, stretched out his hand to open the red vermilion lacquer wooden box on the carriage, the sunlight reflected the light of the box full of jewels, flashing so that everyone held their sleeves to cover their eyes and could not look directly, when everyone put down their arms, the person who came was already close in front of them, and the gold officer hugged his fist outside and saluted, claiming that his surname was Bai, he was a broken nobleman, and the wooden box on the car was loaded with countless treasures, which was a dowry for marrying Miss Jin.

Chen Gongzi saw everyone greedily looking at the jewels on the carriage, and knew that he had lost the momentum first, but seeing that the person who came was a weak and weak son, he didn't wait for Master Jin to reply, so he told him about the competition and recruiting relatives. Chen Gongzi is a person who reads poetry and books, and has learned some fist and foot kung fu from the martial artists in the house, and he does not look at the seemingly feminine scholar surnamed Bai in his eyes. As a result, he didn't expect that Bai Shusheng Wen Taowu was slightly better, and when he competed, he didn't even see what was going on, and he was thrown to the ground by the scholar surnamed Bai. Chen Gongzi was very cultivated and admitted defeat with his fists, and said goodbye to the Jin family with his family.

Seeing that the second son of the Yin family in the mansion admitted defeat and left, Master Jin was very satisfied with the scholar surnamed Bai who was generous, so he hurriedly set a wedding date and married his daughter to the Bai family's mansion. On the day of the wedding banquet, the groom drank in the courtyard of the front hall to accompany the guests, and Yanyu waited for his husband with anticipation in the wedding room. She had heard the maid and his father praise her new aunt for her talent and appearance, and she was a rare wishful husband, and she couldn't help but fantasize about the beautiful life of her husband and children in the future. Halfway through, the groom Bai Shusheng pushed the door in, Yanyu looked at the groom through the red transparent veil, and was really handsome, the red wedding robe lined with a fair face, and the beauty was never lost to himself, but the posture of walking was a little strange, twisting and twisting like cooked noodles. But she comforted herself and said: It is estimated that she drank too much and walked unsteadily. Yanyu was afraid that he would be drunk and unstable and fall, so he lifted his veil, took off the phoenix crown and xia veil, and took care of Bai Shusheng to lie down and go to bed.

In the middle of the night, in the middle of a dream, she felt that someone was undressing her. Before getting married, her mother had already taught her the etiquette of Duke Zhou, and she was shy and pretended to sleep. As a result, the groom kept licking her face with his tongue and hugged her tighter and tighter, so that she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't help but open her eyes uncomfortably. But she saw a white python, tightly wrapped around her, her lantern-sized eyes half-squinted, and her forked tongue hissing up and down. Suddenly opened her bloody mouth, revealing a pair of sharp fangs, and bit Yanyu's throat, so frightened that she screamed and fainted unconscious.

The fat man suddenly stopped talking about this, and threw himself at Yue'er with his teeth and claws, he wanted to scare Yue'er, but instead Yue'er stretched out his legs and fell into a beating, and his head hit the cabinet directly, making him grin and scream in pain. Looking at his stupidity, Yue'er and I couldn't help but laugh heartily next to him.

The fat man said to me with a disgruntled face: "Your heart and eyes are greatly broken, and you don't help me when you see me fall, how can you do this, brother." With that, he stood up, patted the dirt on his pants, and sat down in a chair while rubbing his forehead while drinking tea.

Yue'er mischievously asked the fat man, "What is the end of the story?" What happened to the bride? ”

The fat man said to Yue'er, "Do you still want to hear it?" Yue'er nodded immediately, and the fat man forgot about the pain on his forehead, and mysteriously continued to tell the end of the story.

The Jin Mansion looked forward to the happy daughter returning to the door in three days, but three days passed, and the daughter did not return to the door. As a result, seven days have passed and his daughter has not returned to her parents' house, Jin Yuanwai began to worry about whether something happened to his son-in-law's family, so he took the family to the son-in-law's house. When they arrived at the place, they were dumbfounded, and Jin Yuanwai found that the compound of his son-in-law's mansion had turned into a dilapidated old house that had been abandoned for a long time, with weeds inside and outside the yard, cobwebs hanging on the walls, and windows hanging crookedly on the side of the window frames, which did not look like it was inhabited at all. Jin Yuanwai panicked and led people through the hall to the new house, pushed open the door, only to see that the house was full of dust and gray nets, and the bride's phoenix crown was placed on the dilapidated table, and the bride lying on the bed had become a dried corpse.

Later, everyone said that the scholar surnamed Bai was a python that had been cultivated into a human form, the snake was the most lewd, and he liked to mutilate unmarried women. For thousands of years, there have been rumors that he will transform into different appearances, but most of them are handsome men with extraordinary bearing.

After the fat man finished speaking, he said to Yue'er in a thoughtful manner: "You have to be careful of a white-faced scholar like Fake Sven, maybe it is the transformation of the White Snake Langjun, who eats you and you are still dreaming." If you are looking for a partner, you have to find someone who looks like me to be reliable. Yue'er shook her head with disdain, I smiled and scolded the fat man for being uneasy, well-intentioned, and belittling others to elevate himself.

While we were laughing, suddenly, the lights in the room flickered twice and went out abruptly, and the room went dark. At this time, the door behind the fat man creaked open without warning, and a young man with oily hair and pink face, dressed in a buttoned white Tang suit, still holding a fan in his hand, walked in with a light twist on the waist of the water snake, and quietly and coldly frightened.

When Yue'er saw someone coming, she couldn't help but blurt out and exclaimed, "White Snake Langjun." ”
