Chapter 7: Pear Orchard

"Huanyu, take Mo Xun away! There is a murder!" Seeing the corpse, Huan Qing hurriedly asked Huanyu to take Mo Xun away. Vertices

The world is different now than it was more than 50 years ago, when technology was not developed, and the only way to find the murderer was to rely on the experience and basic clues of the police. Now there is a gene pool and all kinds of high-tech, and they cultivate as animals, so it's a big deal to change their skins. And Mo Xun is different, her appearance at the scene will cause a lawsuit.

Mo Xun saw this scene, and naturally he was not worried that Huanqing and the four of them were here.

"It's okay, I have a way to get out. "To say that the soul hunting technique has been sealed, Mo Xun has no ability to resist the old lady of the living dead. But Mo Xun still wants to try, if according to Xiaoxi, the old lady wants life, then she will be a big temptation.

Time was urgent, and Huanqing didn't have time to retreat from Mo Xun, so she had to ask Huang Ge and Huanyu to protect Mo Xun. Xiao Xi observed the situation at the end, and the four of them surrounded Mo Xun in the middle.

"You're really dogs! chase after you so soon!" Seeing Huanqing and them coming, the old lady came out of the house in a drama uniform.

"You're really ruthless! That's your own granddaughter!" Huang Ge is most unaccustomed to ruthless and unrighteous people in his life.

"Who said those four little girls are my granddaughters? Let me tell you, this family has nothing to do with me. The old lady stretched out her hand from her wide sleeve, and the hands were as white and tender as a girl's hands. She pointed to the position of the corpse in the doorway, and out of the room came a little boy of four or five years old, who walked up to the corpse with a blank look.

"What do you want to do, come to me, let them go!" Mo Xun pushed Huanqing who was blocking the front.

"You, who are you?, the dog meddles with a mouse!" the old lady paced in front of Mo Xun.

"I'm the kind of person you want to be. Mo Xun said, "Old lady, have you heard of immortality?"

The girl went into the house and said. Hearing Mo Xun say immortality, the eyes of the old lady of the living dead lit up.

"You wait here, I'll talk to my husband. Mo Xun turned his head and gave Xiao Xi a look, and Xiao Xi immediately understood.

"Girl, please!"

"Sir, please!" Mo Xun said that the gentleman is different from the current gentleman, only the corner of the pear orchard can be called sir.

The room is not big, there is a large box half a person high, and the lock on it is very old, and Mo Xun recognizes that the lock is still used in the Qing Dynasty.

"Sir, but you're a former Qing person?" Mo Xun asked.

"Republicans. The old lady smiled and patted the box: "Here are all the treasures I had when I was singing!"

The old lady's name is Yue'er and she has no surname. was sold to the troupe at the age of two and a half. Because there is a crescent-shaped birthmark on her back, everyone in the team calls her Yue'er. Yue'er's voice is really good, but the team boss just won't let her play.

At that time, the society was chaotic, how could there be a girl who sang opera? What is a woman who sings a drama called? That is called a prostitute! The boss is soft-hearted, and the child whose father and mother do not hurt is pitiful enough. The boss of the troupe is thinking about letting her disguise herself as a man, serving tea and water to the guests, and marrying someone when she is at the right age, which can be regarded as treating other people's children well.

But Yue'er doesn't understand, she has been in the troupe since she was a child, she also practiced with others, and she also learned to sing when people learned to sing. Even the master who taught singing was amazed. She's not bad at anything, so why can't she play?

When Yue'er was fourteen, the troupe took a job to go to the Marshal's Mansion to sing, which is true

is a big job, singing well, the rest of the life has no worries about food and clothing, and if the singing is bad, the whole team has to fold in the marshal's mansion.

"The head of the class was so busy that day, no one cared about me, so I stole a costume from a woman and put it on. I definitely didn't dare to go on stage, so I found a warehouse where there was no one and secretly acted. Coincidentally, he was bumped into by Zhang Dashuai's son Zhang Xueliang. There seemed to be a hint of warmth in the old lady's cloudy eyes.

When I was in my hometown, I heard that Zhang Dashuai had a loser son. "Mo Xun did hear Zhang Xueliang in other people's mouths, but it was not a very good evaluation.

"He said he liked me to sing. The old lady said.

"And then?"

After bumping into each other, Yue'er fled. She was only fourteen at the time, so naturally she didn't have the idea of flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix. She only thought that if she got into trouble, the class master would beat her.

Sure enough, after I went back, I was discovered by the class master. The head of the class stripped her of her clothes, tied her feet with a rope, and hung her up to be whipped. Yue'er cried in pain.

"I still remember what he said about me, he said why are you so shameless, if you were my daughter, I would beat you to death. If you don't have a good way, you have to be a prostitute, do you want to be ashamed?" said the old lady.

Just as Yue'er was crying, Zhang Xueliang took the little girl into the shed of the troupe. Named to find the Luo Fu girl who sang "Mulberry Garden Club", the class owner thought that it was Yue'er at that time, and it was said that Zhang Xueliang was extremely lewd, and the class owner was naturally reluctant to send Yue'er over.

"My master pushed my senior brother He Er out, saying that he was practicing music. Later, my senior brother became popular, and he was named Crane Dongfang by Zhang Dashuai. Mo Xun suddenly remembered what the hundred-year-old told her about Crane Dongfang, it turned out to be like this.

"That's why you hated him and killed his descendants?" Mo Xun asked.

"At that time, I actually didn't hate him so much, it was a good life for people to become a horn, my master didn't let me sing, didn't let me become a horn, because he wanted me to marry a good family. But he deceived people too much, he used the power of the big handsome to kill the master, built a courtyard of his own, and forcibly married me as a concubine, I was only fourteen at that time!" the old lady said sadly.

"What about the wife?" Mo Xun guessed that this family should be the child of the wife.

"It's the daughter of a subordinate of Zhang Dashuai. People are everyone's best girls, so they naturally don't look down on me as a play, and besides, she is older than me, and she is more happy than me. Soon I fell out of favor. In the year of Zhang Dashuai's downfall, I ran away and followed a Taoist priest from the south, and he taught me my ability to absorb life. The old lady said.

"Then is that Taoist priest still alive?" Mo Xun asked.

"Dead, long dead, you said I learned this, who will be the first to suck?" the old lady smiled sadly. A pair of hands didn't know when they had touched Mo Xun's waist.

"No, you're already dead! You're lying to me, you've been dead for two thousand years!" the old lady's frightened cry caused Huanqing and them to run in.

"Am I dead, who is dead?" Mo Xun said in the old lady's ear.

The old lady felt a burning pain, and Huanyu poured a basin of black liquid from the top of the old lady's head, and the old lady's body deflated in an instant like a leaky balloon, and after half an hour of effort, there was only a human skin left in the old lady's costume.

"Don't look for it, go quickly. Huan Qing saw that Mo Xun was staring at the human skin for a long time, and ignored it for a long time, so he asked Huanyu to carry Mo Xun on his shoulder and take it back.

"Let go of me! She said I was dead! She must know something! You let me ask her!" Mo Xun exclaimed excitedly.

If you don't leave, the police will come!"

Xiaoyunshan's house, Mo Xun sat in the study in a daze, the study was full of some management books commonly used by Xiaoyunshan, Mo Xun couldn't understand it, and she didn't like to read it, so she wanted to read medical books and read them with She Baisui.

"She Baisui! I used to be so close to the truth, but for you, I gave up, this time what I want to know appears in front of me again, do you think I should look for it?" Mo Xun typed such a paragraph in the WeChat conversation with the 100-year-old, and then deleted it all.

She wished that the hundred-year-old would remember her and give her an answer as before.

"Mom, are you in a bad mood?" Xiao Yunshan sat opposite Mo Xun at some point.

"You're using the study, I'll get out right away." Mo Xun came back to his senses.

"Find Mom, you sit. I'll talk to you. Xiao Yunshan pressed Mo Xun's shoulder.

"Did they tell you?" Mo Xun tilted his head and looked at Xiao Yunshan, when She was 100 years old, Xiao Yunshan was only five years old.

"Do you want to be 100 years old?"

"No, what do you want him to do! I just wondered, where the hell did I come from. Mo Xun said this to Xiao Yunshan.

"I don't know, don't I live well, why do I have to know?" asked Xiao Yunshan.

"I feel uncomfortable, I've suffered so much, what do you say I'm trying to do? When will I be a head!" Mo Xun wiped his tears, although Xiao Yunshan seemed to be her father, but in her heart, Xiao Yunshan was still her own child.

"Are you still bitter now?" Xiao Yunshan handed a tissue to Mo Xun.

"Don't be bitter, you can accompany me. What about after that, when you can't accompany me in the future?" Mo Xun asked.

"There is also Auntie, and Qingqing, they are all here!" Xiao Yunshan comforted.

"They'll be gone, too, and you all have a lifespan. But I didn't, you say, can you hide from life and death?" Mo Xun's voice trembled a little.

"Find Mom, go find it. There are sons in the wind and waves!" Xiao Yunshan stretched out his hand and grabbed Mo Xun's hand.

Late at night, Mo Xun bought a dozen pieces of yellow paper from a paper shop and burned it under a locust tree on a nearby mountain. As before, the robed man arrived as promised.

"Long time no see. The robed man's voice was still so ugly.

"yes, long time no see. Mo Xun was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to speak.

"You want to retrieve the ghost of the old lady of the living dead and ask about something!" said the robed man.

"Yes, the price you open. Mo Xun said.

"The price is that you can't find the reincarnation of the old goddess anymore, which is not good for her reincarnation and will affect her. The robed man explained again after making the conditions.

"So, these two reincarnations should have been smooth sailing for her, but I changed the results?" Mo Xun asked incredulously.

"If it weren't for you, she would still be alive in her first incarnation. ”

"I promise. Even if this is not a condition, Mo Xun will agree. Mo Xun has always hoped to bring the old goddess a better reincarnation, but he doesn't want to harm her.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll come back with her. Take it away before dawn, and you have something to say. ”

Before the words could be spoken, the robed man vanished. The siren sounded suddenly at the foot of the mountain, and Mo Xun got up to see that there were more than a dozen police cars from his villa area!
