002: The wax corpse is missing

"Someone! Something happened to the eldest young master! ”

Nan Zhao hurriedly ran to the door and wanted to go out to call someone, but found that the door of the room could not be opened, so he knocked hard a few times before he was sure that the door was locked from the outside!

It must have been quietly locked after Nian Po sent her in just now, this is so dignified, why lock the door?

Ignoring so much, she pulled her throat and asked, "Hey, is there anyone outside?" ”

Nian Po soon appeared outside the door, and persuaded her as if she had already prepared: "Young lady, don't panic, the eldest young master is just asleep!" ”

"Asleep?" Nan Zhao didn't believe it, she was not one of those daughters who was raised in the boudoir, she grew up in the Taoist temple since she was a child, and she had never seen a corpse, so the young master of the Shen family must be dead!

But to avoid being too nervous and mistaken, she went back to the bed and checked again, this time she not only reached out to probe her nose, but also touched Young Master Shen's arm with her hand, and confirmed that this Young Master of the Shen family was not only dead, but from the stiffness of this corpse, it can be seen that he has been dead for a long time!

"Nian Po, hurry up and open the door, your young master is really in trouble, open the door quickly!"

The woman still replied indifferently: "Young lady, my eldest young master is just asleep!" ”

Asleep? What about liars!

Nan Zhao didn't believe it, but Nianpo didn't let her out, she shouted a few times to no avail, and then she began to think about this family affair from the beginning, something was wrong.

Nanzhao's mother is a lowly fireworks woman, so as soon as she was born, her father sent her to Qingyun to raise, sixteen years have not been back to this Qingzhou home, she has long regarded herself as a monk, as a result, just a few days ago, the family sent someone to say that her mother was seriously ill, the medicinal materials needed to treat the disease were very expensive, and the family had no money for her mother to treat the disease, hoping to find a good family for her, and the dowry could cure her mother's illness.

Nanzhao has longed for family affection since she was a child, not to mention that it is her mother-in-law, can she not save it?

In the end, the matchmaker came, the in-laws hired are not ordinary good people, the Shen family is the richest man in Qingzhou, Nan Zhao never thought about why the Shen family didn't want other famous ladies, and chose her as a little Taoist aunt who grew up in the mountains, and now it seems that if she is replaced by another daughter tonight, she will be almost lost if she is not scared to death!

"No wonder there is no happy event, not even a guest to watch the ceremony!" Nan Zhao was so angry that his face turned red and scolded: "It's okay to hold a wedding for the dead, but I'm a living person!" ”

I don't know if Nian Po is still outside, she looked at the corpse of Shen Rugu on the bed, she didn't have time, now take a closer look, this young master has a good skin, handsome like the immortal in the master's painting, but unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the face is, after death, it will slowly rot and become a shape.

"Huh-"

She heard someone sneering and turned her head sharply and asked, "Who?" ”

Who else was in the room but the one who was lying?

Nan Zhao felt that the deceased was great, so he hurriedly folded his hands and said to Shen Gongzi: "You, a thin life is also a life, if you die, you will go on the road well, don't care what this living person does, look at you are so good at reincarnation in this life, and you will definitely be ...... in the next life."

Halfway through his words, the second half of Nan Zhao's sentence was stuck in his throat.

Something is wrong, she just saw that Shen Gongzi's face was obviously expressionless, why did the corners of her mouth rise slightly at this moment, it was like - she was laughing!

In the past, she often went down the mountain with her master to do things for other families, what corpse has she never seen? It's the first time I've laughed when I see a corpse!

It can't be a corpse, right?

She hadn't seen the corpse with her own eyes, but the master had seen it, and told her a lot of examples, but she had never learned these skills from the master, that is, there was only one evil charm drawn by the master around her body, before going down the mountain, the master had said that this charm could not leave the body no matter what, her master was really a master, this paper charm must be very powerful, it should - can deal with the corpse, right?

Nan Zhao hurriedly took out the talisman from his bag, gestured for himself and said, "You'd better not cheat, I'm a closed disciple of Qingyunguan Qingyunzi Daoist, I ...... I'm not to be messed with! ”

With that, she involuntarily retreated to the door.

On Shen Gongzi's face, the weird smile still hung on the corner of his mouth.

The doors and windows were all locked, and the Shen family had already prepared to trap her here, Nan Zhao said that every day was not working, and the earth should not be used, so he had to sit down against the door, staring at the corpse on the couch motionlessly.

The first half of the night was spent in this kind of torment, and in the second half of the night, the snow and wind outside the house became more and more fierce, and the house with dry branches hanging from the roof creaked, and there was no charcoal fire in the house, and Nanzhao was so cold that his hands and feet were cold.

At this moment, the big red wax flame on the case fluctuated unsteadily a few times, burned for the first half of the night, and finally ran out......

The dead room was immediately plunged into darkness, and Nan Zhao couldn't help but feel nervous, even though she couldn't see anything, her eyes were still fixed in the direction of the bed.

She didn't dare to make a sound, and even her breath became like a thief.

"Click-" There was a sound on the other side of the bed, like the sound of a person's joints reactivating after stiffening.

Nan Zhao comforted himself in his heart and said: It must be the dry cracking sound of the wooden bed for a long time, where is the corpse so easy to cheat? Besides, there is also Master's life-saving charm, I'm not afraid!

Thinking so, there was no other sound in the room, and she was even more sure that everything was scaring herself.

However, being alone in the dark with a corpse was really panicked, so Nan Zhao fumbled up and went to the front of the desk to find other spare candles in the house.

But she searched the entire case with her hands, but she couldn't find it.

She remembered that there was a small half of the unused candle next to the snack, why wasn't there?

"Huh—am I mistaken?"

It shouldn't be, Nan Zhao's memory has always been very good, and she will never forget the mantras that the master asked her to memorize.

"Where?" She was a little anxious, muttered quietly, and groped around the table again, touching the fruit bowl and the snack box, which contained eight peach cakes......

Then! Suddenly, she touched a cold object, which was slender and slender.

Hey, this ...... Is it a candle?

If you count carefully, there are as many as five, and some are long and some are short.

But how is this a little wrong with the touch? Nan Zhao's heart tightened, this ...... This is not the candle she was looking for, isn't this a human hand?!

There is no one else in this room, let her feel a human hand on the table at this moment, don't think about it, it must be the boy who was on the bed just now!

"Ahh Nan Zhao screamed in shock, crawled back with a rolling belt, grabbed what to throw and threw something, and finally didn't know where she went, she took out the fire fold she carried with her and lit it, there was a little light in front of her eyes, she quickly swept the room, the bed was really empty, and the body of Shen Gongzi, who had just walked well, was nowhere to be found!

It's gone!

This door and window are closed well, where did the corpse go?

Suddenly, a faint male voice came from behind her, asking her, "What are you looking for?" ”
