Chapter 35: The Woman in White

The red candles in the wooden house lit softly, and the situation was clear at a glance, only a few stools and a few stools, and nothing else. The woman said lightly, "Sit down." So, Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu sat on the stool, and she herself sat down on the bed.

Only then did Chu Liuyan see the woman's appearance clearly, her light eyebrows were like washing, her eyes were like stars, her long hair hung down, her white clothes were fluttering, she was not born with outstanding appearance, but she had an elegant and dusty temperament, which was extremely beautiful, and the whole person was like a fairy who walked down from the painting.

When I first saw Liu Yiyi, Chu Liuyan also sighed at the fairy concubine. It's just that Liu Yiyi's beauty is a stunning beauty that captivates the country and the city, but the woman in front of her is a Zhuo Yi who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

The woman said, "You say that someone has fallen into the art of disgust and killed countless people, so what's the matter? ”

Chu Liuyan saw that the woman didn't seem to be malicious, so he said, "We are under the account of Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu." There is a general in our army, because of this aversion to victory, his mind is not under his control, and he has killed countless people, so that in one day, tens of thousands of lives are lost. Chu Liuyan said as he stared at the woman to see how the woman reacted.

The woman listened to Chu Liuyan's words, trembled slightly, and asked, "Is the person you said called Chang Yuchun?" Chu Liuyan didn't expect her to ask directly, so he immediately nodded and said, "Exactly." She thought to herself: Since the woman in front of her even knows the name of Chang Yuchun, I am afraid that the technique of disgust and victory is exactly what she has done.

The woman's face turned pale in an instant, as white as white paper. She stared at Chu Liuyan for a long time, and finally said, "Yes, his aversion to victory is exactly what I did." Now that you're here, I'll burn his birthday. After speaking, the woman took out a cloth bag from under the pillow, and there was a small figure in the cloth bag, with many needles pierced on it, and the eight characters of Chang Yuchun's birthday were written in a note. The woman set fire to all these things. Then he said to Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu: "Okay, the purpose of your trip has been achieved, please go back." After saying that, he didn't pay attention to the two of them again.

Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu looked at each other, only to think that the woman was weird and abnormal. Since she has the heart to harm Chang Yuchun, why would she burn something so easily? Why was she willing to rescue the two from the apricot grove instead of trapping them alive? Is this woman a fairy or a witch? Is what is happening in front of you real?

When Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu were confused, the woman had already chased away the guests. The two of them had no way, and they didn't know the depth of the woman in front of them, so they had to obey her instructions and walked out of the wooden house. When the two of them passed through the village, most of the people in the village had already gone back to rest. Many homes have already extinguished the candles, and there are still some people sitting outside playing. Nowadays, it's a spring climate, and the evenings are a little cooler.

Chu Liuyan quietly asked Lan Yu and said, "General Lan, I don't know if you have noticed, most of the people in this village are old and weak, women and children, and men in the prime of life, but they have never seen it. ”

Lan Yu replied softly, "I have already found out, but I don't know why. Miss Chu, let's just leave, will the woman in white re-use Brother Chang's birthday to perform the spell? I always felt that she burned it too easily, but it was not very believable. ”

Chu Liuyan pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "I can't say it either." It's just that I don't think that woman looks like the devil we imagined. I always felt like she had something on her mind and couldn't solve it. And harming people is not what she likes. General Lan, what do you think? ”

The two of them were talking as they walked, and someone bumped into Lan Yu. Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu saw it, but it was the child who took the two into the apricot forest at noon. The child puffed out his cheeks and looked at the two of them with malice, looking at him as if he hated to swallow them alive.

Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu glanced at each other and continued to walk forward. But the boy didn't get out of the way, and kept blocking the way for the two of them. Chu Liuyan said: "Little brother, if you don't get out of the way, this big brother will be polite." He's much taller than you, and you can't beat him. ”

Chu Liuyan deliberately scared the child, but who knew that the child listened to Chu Liuyan's words, and his face was kinder. He said, "Of course I'm going to fight you, but I'm not here to fight you. What did you do to Sister Phoenix? ”

Only then did Chu Liuyan understand that it turned out that the child was afraid that someone would hurt the woman named Phoenix, so he rushed over to embarrass them. Chu Liuyan smiled kindly and said, "Since you want to know how your Phoenix sister is, why don't you go to the place where she lives to take a look, and come over to ask us?" Your phoenix sister is so raw, she let us go. ”

The child's eyes rolled for a moment, and he asked, "Are you telling the truth?" Chu Liuyan nodded and said, "Truth." ”

"Okay." The child laughed: "Thank you for not hurting Sister Phoenix." Since you're not a bad person, I'll definitely help you. ”

"Help us?" Chu Liuyan felt a little funny: "What can you help us?" ”

The kid glared at Chu Liuyan and said, "Don't underestimate people, of course I can help you." Sister Phoenix asked you to go, did she teach you how to leave Taoyuan Village? Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu both shook their heads, and Chu Liuyan said, "What is there to leave." Of course, we get in and leave. ”

The little boy shook his head vigorously and said in a loud voice, "Of course not! How can that be. When you go out at night, you will encounter all kinds of strange things, and there will be vines that will entangle you to death. ”

Chu Liuyan said in disbelief: "Those vines are just illusions. ”

The little boy said solemnly: "During the day, of course, it is an illusion. But the night was different. You see, tonight's moon is the last quarter moon, and the second quarter moon is the time when the vine is growing. When the time comes, those vines will wrap around your necks and tie you to death. If you don't believe it, go ahead. ”

The little boy said something like that, Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu glanced at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not. After all, this little boy once deceived two people and took them to the apricot forest, so that the two of them couldn't get out. Now, he said that he wanted to take the two of them to escape, isn't this a bit too contradictory?

The little boy didn't think of it at all, as if he had figured out what was going on in the hearts of the two men, and said, "You must have a grudge that I started to take you into the apricot grove." At first, I thought you were here to harm my phoenix sister. The mechanism in the apricot forest is connected to the wooden house where Sister Phoenix lives, and if you go in, Sister Phoenix will naturally know. If you are good people, she will save you, and if you are bad people, you will die in it. I'm not hurting you. I really didn't lie to you, there were a lot of people coming in here, and almost no one was able to escape. ”

Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu couldn't help but nod, what the little boy said did make some sense. When they entered the apricot forest, it was indeed the woman in white who took them away, and Xiaoxiao also said that it was not easy to get back a life when they accidentally broke into this Taoyuan Village. Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu agreed unanimously: "In this way, you will lead the way, little brother Lao." ”

The little boy said proudly: "You're welcome, two. My name is Mu Ying, you can call me by my name directly. He took Chu Liuyan and Lan Yu out of the village and walked to another road.

Chu Liuyan couldn't help but ask, "Mu Ying, why are there all old and young women and children in your village?" Where have your parents gone? ”

Mu Ying didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she said weakly: "I don't know." Chu Liuyan saw that he didn't want to say, so he didn't ask him anymore.
