Chapter 100: A Ground Full of Crows
He Angelica wrapped himself in a thick velvet cloak and stepped on this place, trying to distinguish what kind of powerful beast slaughtered the lives of these hundreds of crows.
You must know that the crow flies in the air, and the beasts on the ground can't help it, not to mention that there are no fierce beasts such as lions, leopards, tigers and wolves in the Luojia Garden, even more than a dozen beasts of that kind are dancing together with their teeth and claws, and it is impossible to cause this kind of tragedy in front of them. And those overlords of the sky, goshawks or sea dongqing, they can catch up to four crows at a time to eat, besides, this bitter bamboo forest is a natural hunting treasure house for those large birds, inexhaustible, how can they do this kind of killing chickens and eggs, and eat so "wasteful", throwing away the flesh and blood of this place in vain...... Hey?
He Angelica bent down suddenly, took a closer look, and found that most of these crows had been crushed and their brains were bursting, and no matter how powerful the eagle was, it was not capable of doing such a thing!
It wasn't done by animals or birds, could it be that people did it? She frowned, bent her hands on her knees, and took a closer look at the carcass of a crow that had been divided into six halves, the joints were mutilated and terrifying, and it was not the neat cut made by the axe. If it was really made by people...... This is clearly tearing the crow into pieces with his bare hands!
He Angelica gasped, ordinary people even gave birth to such a cruel idea, and it was difficult to put it into practice, because there were a lot of muscles and bones in the skin and flesh of the crow, and it was very laborious to cut it with a knife and axe. Whoever has the strength to tear a crow must be a martial artist; And those who have the arm strength to tear apart a flock of crows must be masters!
The highest master in Luodong Mansion is Nie Chun, followed by the four major guards, or there is a hidden master, that is, the nameless female escort of the second lady Luo Baiqiong, the woman is the second wife Sun After Luo Baiqiong returned to Sun's house and accidentally fell into the water, in order to protect Luo Baiqiong's travel safety, she was found through the beggar gang elder Hongxi, and the impression that the woman gave to He Angelica in her previous life has always been unfathomable. In addition, the third master's continuation of the string Liang also knows martial arts, but I don't know what level of skill, He Angelica vaguely remembers that Liang's kung fu is very handsome, and it seems that he also has some internal skills, but Liang has followed the third master to the north to do business, so naturally it will not be her.
Whether it was Nie Chun, the Four Great Guardians, or Luo Baiqiong's mysterious female guards, they all looked calm and normal, rational and vigilant, and they didn't look like people who would make such crazy moves. Although these crows are a little annoying, they never fly down the porch in Luofu, how can they attract people to slaughter crows in such a terrible way? Rao is in her previous life when she was working for Wu Yingge, among the bloody scenes of various rivers and lakes fighting and extermination cases, there are very few such heinous unilateral massacres.
He Angelica shook his head, no matter how you think about it, it is an insoluble mystery, there is such a number one murder star living in Luofu, it seems that he must be more cautious when traveling in the future. After all, now her internal strength is the same as her true qi, she is in a semi-paralyzed state, although she practiced a lot of kung fu in her previous life, but now her body has shrunk to ten years old, she has never used this small body to fight boxing and practice swords, in case she really encounters danger, it is better to go to the top with thirty-six strategies.
After going all the way and investigating all the way, He Angelica finally got away from this disgusting bitter bamboo forest with a bloody atmosphere, quietly opened the back door of the void, and walked into the brightly lit Tingzhu Courtyard, carefully rubbing the dirt on the soles of her shoes in the dirt in the corner of the yard. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly took a shortcut and ran into the bedroom of the East Flower Hall.
After she ran up the long corridor, another dark red figure suddenly appeared in a shadow of the back door, facing the slender back at the end of the corridor for a long time, standing still like a ghost.
Ning Yuan's eyebrows tightened, thinking about the two mysteries in front of him.
It was a matter of wonder who had done such a horrible thing for what reason, and what surprised him the most was the unusual reaction of the little woman.
Seeing the blood-stained debris before, Ning Yuan asked himself and even his heart was a little chilling, in his mind, people who are interested in doing such disgusting things, Zhu Yuanzhang counts one, Zhu Li counts one, Cao Hongrui counts one, Geng Bingxiu counts another, I didn't expect that there is another person in the world who is so hot-handed and poisonous. Thinking of his mother's concubine, he suddenly felt deeply disgusted with the things in this place, and instead walked around a long way, just about to enter the Tingzhu Courtyard through the back door, Ning Yuan keenly felt the "rustling" footsteps coming from a hundred zhang away, and as soon as he turned around, he caught the cyan shadow of the silk.
Ning Yuan's first reaction was that he wanted to leave this back door immediately, turn around the front door and go back to the West Flower Hall!
Although his injuries have only been recuperating for an afternoon and have not yet improved, it is still possible to teleport from the back door to the front door with the retreat technique! When the little woman's screams attract everyone, both the back door and the front door will be crowded, and it will be difficult to go back to the room silently! He hated the women in Luofu who were as noisy as ducks!
It was only in the moments before he fled, that he turned his head again to look at the little woman who had frightened him with words, and he remembered that he had not seen her panicked, even when the horse's hooves stepped on her. Ning Yuan hooked his lips slightly, and sneered in his heart, thinking that when she saw the broken corpses in that place, the expression on her face must be very exciting, and the cry in her mouth must be very pleasant......
Ning Yuan gloated and looked over, only to see the little woman in a green coat and a green velvet hooded cloak, Ying Ying Nana, walking out of the bamboo bushes of Xiangfei, and from time to time she turned back and glanced into the dark forest behind her, looking uneasy. Ning Yuan's thin lips curled into a sarcastic arc, who let her run in, do you know what it means to be scared now? Hmph, what scares her even more is still to come!
Sure enough, the little woman began to notice the thing in front of her...... Then, with a curious and puzzled expression, she took two quick steps and ran forward.
After she ran closer, Ning Yuan immediately hid sideways into the shadows of the courtyard wall, observing the changes in her expression. The heart that had been worrying about Daning's affairs suddenly floated a little long-lost interest, and I saw that the little woman opened a pair of crystal bright eyes, and there was surprise, shock and ...... in her eyes Fun.
I saw her carefully tucking away the hem of the green velvet cloak with her left hand, and unhurriedly brushing the broken hair around her ear with her right hand, and bending down gracefully...... Looking left and right at the broken corpses, first leaned her head closer to look closer, then raised her head to show a thoughtful expression, lowered her head and continued to look, stepping on the blood and corpses all the way to the ground, walking all the way to look at it with great interest, and finally walked to the back door of the Tingzhu Courtyard, she reluctantly looked back at the last time, turned around and walked into the Tingzhu Courtyard.
After she walked away, Ning Yuan slowly walked out of the shadows and looked at the back coldly.
Who is that little woman?
She knows the flamining, a rare thing in the world...... The healing potions she made worked better than those in the Imperial Pharmacy...... In the downtown area, she almost took her life for a child who had nothing to do with it, and he had never seen a second boudoir noblewoman who would do this for those commoners whose lives were like mustard.
Others don't say it, just say that his eldest sister, Princess Lin'an, has always been shown in front of people with a compassionate and fraternal face, and every month she will personally go to the Daliang Temple outside the capital to personally distribute money and rice to the poor people. He always thought that the eldest sister had infinite sympathy for those people, until once he went to the temple with the eldest sister to give winter clothes, and a seventy-year-old woman stepped forward to thank him and pulled the hem of the eldest sister's skirt and shook it, and at that moment he clearly saw the disgust in the eldest sister's eyes. Later, the eldest sister said that she went to the inner hall, and when she came out again, her dress was different from the previous one, and later, he slipped into the back hall to avoid everyone, and then found a ball of cloth burned to black charcoal in the brazier behind the screen.
The little woman was a little interesting...... He remembered that Mrs. Luo called her "Sister Yi", and there was a "Yi" in her name? And what is the last name? She is the granddaughter of the Luo family...... I don't know which faction of her father is an official in the court...... will let her daughter meet with outsiders like Lu Jiangbei, it can be seen that her father is probably also a Beijing official who has a close relationship with the Changye Pavilion, could it be an official of the Fourth Brother Yanwang's faction......
A surprisingly erudite, calm and beautiful woman, ten years old, waiting for the boudoir...... Although his background is not enough to be his princess or side concubine, but now there are only two people in his Daning Palace, Wan Ling and concubine Zhou Jinglan, and occasionally when he returns to the palace, he feels very lonely...... Moreover, in doing so, you can also cut off the wing power of King Yan and take it for your own use, which is really a good deal.
He Angelica, who didn't know that he had been secretly worried about by a certain demon, looked around, then held his breath, ran all the way into the East Flower Hall avoiding others, and quickly jumped into his bedroom. I found that the room was already dark, and the shape of the quilt was still the tall and bulging shape I had when I left. She breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to pour a cup of tea to quench her thirst, and then change her clothes to greet the old lady.
But when it was too late, the quilt on the bed suddenly squirmed, and then a pair of round maid buns emerged from above, followed by a pair of round apricot eyes. He Angelica was taken aback at the beginning, but he recognized the face of the person on the bed, and immediately laughed: "What are you doing in Cicada Yi, hiding from the cat with your head covered by a quilt?" ”
Cicada Yi's eyes bulged round, she pushed away the quilt, jumped up from the bed in He Angelica's surprised gaze, rushed over and held He Angelica's shoulders tightly and shook it twice, and then whispered to He Angelica's surprised face with a sharp and piercing voice: "Miss, how can you be like this, where have you been?" You asked me and Huaihua to pick flowers, and we went to pick flowers, and then went to help Sister Ji send money and medicine, and it took several hours to get into the carriage and enter Luofu! The old lady said that you sleep in the house, let us go to the house and wait for you to sleep, and when we get to the house, we find that you are not sleeping in the house at all! Why don't you sleep in the house? Do you know how we found out you weren't feeling when you slept in the house? ”
He Angelica stared blankly at the mouth of the cicada clothes opening and closing above the tip of her nose, and when the cicada clothes were finished, she was about to open her mouth to answer, but the cicada clothes did not give her a chance to speak at all.
"Finding that you are not sleeping in the bed, we racked our brains to think of a way to let Huaihua go outside the house to watch the wind and let me sleep for you! The old lady sent the maid of this grass, that grass, this dandelion, and toon buds, and came to ask you more than a dozen times, but they were all prevaricated by the acacia flowers! When she finally ran out of breath, she gasped twice, and then roared, "Miss! Miss! Do you know how I felt when I was lying under the covers and pretending to be asleep? The more I thought about it in the bed, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I thought that you had been kidnapped by that terrible cousin of your family, and I was bent on discussing with Huaihua to go to the old lady to avenge my grievances! ”
When He Angelica was talking to the cicada clothes, he took off his cloak and skirt stained with autumn dew, poured another cup of herbal tea, and drank it all. There was a plate of fragrant milk small moon cakes on the table, seductively shouting "Eat me, eat me", He Angelica glanced at his muddy hands in distress, turned his head and saw water on the basin rack next to the dressing table, so he couldn't wait to sneak over to clean.
Seeing He Angelica's attitude, Cicada Yi angrily beat her thigh and shouted: "If it's just the old lady calling you for dinner, it's okay if you're not there, miss, do you know?" Something big is going on in the family! Just now, Sister Toon Ya came again, saying that the young grandmother learned that the old lady and you had returned to the house and hid and refused to see anyone, and she led a lot of people to slam the door 'bang'! ”
On this side, He Angelica took out the Yingying powder he carried with him, dipped it in a little evenness, trotted to the sour pear wood table, and grabbed the small moon cakes with his clean little hands to eat.
"She said that she wanted to settle accounts with Miss, and I also heard the movement at the gate of the courtyard from the side of the East Flower Hall, a very sharp and thin voice, a posture of wanting to eat people, and said by name that she was looking for 'He Angelica'!" Cicada Yi knocked on the table and reminded the person who was so hungry that he forgot his surname, "Don't eat Miss, you are He Angelica!" ”
After swallowing two or three small moon cakes in a row, she turned around and looked around the house and saw that the boxes and cages were there, so she ordered: "Find out that peach red dress for me, the one that Duan Xiaolou gave me last time." After that, he poured another cup of tea and took a sip, sighed, "Drink cold water on a cold night, and drip it in my heart." ”
Cicada Yi rushed over and opened the cage, rummaging through it, and still did not forget the broken thoughts in her mouth: "The old lady called the eldest young grandmother and the fourth lady to the hall to talk, and at the same time called Sister Toon Ya to call you, but you didn't sleep in the house at all, do you know what kind of mood I was in at that time......
"Have you ever heard the sound of firecrackers?" He Angelica interrupted her with half a sip of tea, raised his eyes and asked, "You are sleeping in the house, have you ever heard the crackling sound of firecrackers in the distance?" ”
Cicada Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Oh...... I heard it, it had been ringing for a long time. ”
He Angelica patted the pastry dregs on his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my eldest cousin and fourth sister for a long time, I miss them very much, I must reminisce about the old days, Cicada Yi, I will take you out to meet my old friend." ”
