Chapter 63 Missing Persons in Fuzhou
There were a few loud and small noises downstairs from Xunfang, even if no one wanted to listen, the familiar sound would always occasionally run into the ears.
"It's that Young Master Chang again, hmph, relying on the fact that he is the son of a regular member of Changzhou, he is doing nonsense like this, and he always comes to Fanglou to tell him that he wants a chick, it's disgusting. The maid muttered with some disgust, and said to Xu Qingruo: "When Young Master Chang harassed Miss before, fortunately, God opened his eyes and let Young Master Chang run into evil, so he didn't dare to trouble Miss again, why didn't he get rid of it today?"
"God has eyes?" Xu Qingruo smiled slightly and said, "You still have to rely on your own good." I'm tired, close the door. “
"Yes, Miss. “
The maid obediently withdrew from the room, and not long after she exited, she saw the oncoming Hongzhu, who looked at the room where the lights had just been turned off, and said, "Your young lady is asleep?"
"Yes. Probably because he didn't want to hear Young Master Chang's voice, he rested early. “
"Young Master Chang, is that person here again?" Hongzhu was a little disgusted, as if someone was a scum in her eyes.
"Yes, you always tell me that you want a chick, so why are you buying girls everywhere these days. “
"Hmph, that soft egg is the only one that China'er won't dislike. Alright, go down. Hongzhu waved his hand and said, "Prepare a carriage for me at night, I want to go out." “
"Yes, Sister Hongzhu. The maid nodded. Hongzhu went out at night, and this matter did not arouse much curiosity, thinking that it should be what Lord Ye meant. Who in Fuzhou doesn't know that Hongzhu and Xu Qingruo are both Ye Daren's women?
The sky was still insisting on the last bit of light, and on the street, Wang Liang held two or three strings of sugar gourds in his hand, muttering: "Mr. is really, how old is a person, you still want to eat sugar gourds? Let me buy a few strings back before eating? Hmph Okay, anyway, I also bought one more string for myself, one for Xiao Yue'er, one for me, and one for Mr., just right." “
Before the words were finished, there was a sigh, and the person turned on his back and crashed to the ground, fortunately, he had learned the kung fu of the three-legged cat for a few years, and he could also protect the sugar gourd.
Wang Liang was about to get angry, which guy who didn't have long eyes actually collided with him, not long eyes. As soon as he got up, he saw that a child of five or six years old in tattered clothes had hit him, looking at him timidly, and his eyes were already glistening with tears.
Wang Lianggang scratched his head, and the words stuck in his mouth had to be swallowed back. After a while, a woman who looked like she had gone through vicissitudes and was also dressed in tatters rushed out of the alley next to her, hugged the five or six-year-old child, kowtowed to Wang Liang, and said again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." “
At this time, Wang Liang didn't have the heart to condemn at all, so he had to help the two people up and say, "No, it's okay, I'm not hurt, don't be like this, I'm embarrassed." “
After listening to Wang Liang's words, the woman hugged the child and hid in the alley with a timid face. Wang Liang, who looked at this, was a little unbearable, looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, and then looked at the child, who seemed to be full of grievances, but endured his gaze, and looked at Wang Liang's face tentatively.
Wang Liang had to take a step forward, leaned over in front of the little boy, took off one of the rock sugar gourds in his hand, shook it in front of the little boy, and said, "Little friend, can my brother give you a rock sugar gourd to eat?"
The little boy's gaze seemed to shine, but soon this light was put away again, looked at the woman behind him, and whispered: "But Dad said that you can't just take it for nothing, it's not good." “
"Ah, the child still knows that there is no merit, and he knows more than his brother, so you can exchange something for it. Wang Liang said with a smile, but after looking up and down at the little boy and the woman who shrunk down, he had to quickly change his words and said, "Or, take a message to exchange with my brother?"
The little boy thought for a moment and said, "When I was on West Street before, I saw a strange person, who was eating people. After finishing speaking, the little boy looked at Wang Liang brightly.
These words frightened Wang Liang, there is a West Street in Fuzhou, where poor people live, but I didn't expect that it would be so poor that it would eat people?
"Is this news okay, little brother. The little boy asked impatiently.
"Yes, this news is very good, this sugar gourd is for you. After speaking, Wang Liang took down another sugar gourd and said, "Little friend, can you tell your little brother what that person looks like?"
"Yes. The little boy seemed very happy that his message could be exchanged for a sugar gourd, and said, "That person, with red eyes and long hands and long feet, feels like an uncle who I didn't see before." The little boy said with a smile, and at this moment, the face of the woman behind him seemed to change, and she stretched out her hand as if she wanted to cover the little boy's mouth, and then looked at Wang Liang, so she had to change it to pull the little boy.
Wang Liang also noticed that the woman's face was wrong, so he had to pluck another sugar gourd, induce the little boy, and continue to ask: "Then you say, where is that place? You take your brother there, and my brother will give you the last two sugar gourds, okay?" After speaking, Wang Liang reached out and handed the entire sugar gourd string to the little boy's hand.
The little boy nodded. Reaching out and taking the sugar gourd string, he walked towards the alley.
After many turns, Wang Liang finally walked to West Street, and there is indeed a world of difference between West Street and East Street.
There was a smell of rot everywhere, flies were flying all over the ground, and vicious dogs crouching in the corner were staring at everyone.
The little boy walked up to a dilapidated straw hut and pointed to it, "This is it."
Wang Liang was just about to ask something, but the woman pulled the little boy and said to Wang Liang, "That's it, let's go." With that, he took the little boy away.
Wang Liang swallowed his saliva, in addition to flies, hungry dogs, and himself. The sky gradually darkened, Wang Liang swallowed his saliva again, looked at the thatched house in front of him, which was rumored to have a foreign object, and looked at the only two sugar gourd strings in his hand. I said in my heart: Otherwise, I will come again next time?
Then he shook his head and said: Wang Liang, Wang Liang, you are a man, you even cleaned the haunted house yourself, and you are still afraid of this. Or just take a look?
After speaking, he swallowed his saliva again, lifted his trembling legs, and took a small step forward. The straw hut in front of you is dilapidated, and the half-collapsed walls around it reveal the straw, and you can see the inside from the side.
Wang Liang decided that it would be better to take a look through the broken hole. So I carefully moved in that direction, and I didn't move forward anymore.
Wang Liang carefully watched the situation inside, and sure enough, as expected, there was nothing. Just when Wang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, inside the straw house, Wang Liang saw a trembling person hiding in the corner of the thatched house with his back to him.
Wang Liang felt strange, and just opened his mouth to shout, the person turned around, Wang Liang was startled, only to see that the person had red eyes, a mouth full of red, and that person was eating a corpse.
This scene frightened Wang Liang a lot, his whole body trembled, shouted Mom, and ran away.
Wang Liang didn't know how he got out, but before it got dark, he finally rushed to the town office. rushed to Wang Yi's room, disturbed Wang Yi's deep thinking again, made Wang Yi frown, saw Wang Liang's pale appearance, and unusually did not reprimand him, and asked: "Why are you so panicked, just went to buy a sugar gourd." “
Wang Liang gasped for breath and said intermittently: "Sir, first, sheng, I seem to have seen a ghost." “
"What the hell?" Wang Yi put down the pen in his hand and stood up.
"It's West Street, West Street, I saw the same thing as us last time, that night, that little bit. Wang Liang was afraid that Wang Yi wouldn't be able to think of it, so he deliberately made a few gestures that imitated those foreign objects.
Wang Yi rolled his eyes helplessly, he naturally understood what he was talking about, but why did he make such a move.
Wang Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "I know, but what are you talking about, you saw it on West Street?"
"Yes, it was a little boy who said it, and he said that he saw it too, and he saw that a foreign object was eating people, and that person was very much like someone he had seen before. “
"In other words, someone is missing on West Street, and the missing person is most likely a foreign body?" Wang Yi logically concluded.
Wang Liang thought about it, yes, there is nothing wrong with it, but why is Mr. so simple in a few words, as if he has finished saying a lot of things he wants to say.
"And what about the rock sugar gourd I want?"
The corners of Wang Liang's mouth twitched, at this time, why did Mr. think about the rock sugar gourd? Isn't it time to comfort his wounded heart
