Chapter 22: The Woman in Black

readx;? The night at the beginning of March should have been refreshing and pleasant, but there were no stars or moons in the sky, and thick dark clouds pressed low overhead, pressing the warmth of the ground to the ground, and the forest was not breathable, and it was unusually hot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It seems to feel that the wind and rain are coming, the mosquitoes, insects, snakes and beasts in the forest also seem to be extremely restless, all kinds of strange sounds continue to sound, the mountain road is squirming on both sides, and the shadows are like hiding wild ghosts under the light of the fire.

Xia Zhi is a teenage girl in the end, and now Yueniang is unconscious again, she is holding a torch alone, the pine branches are crackling and burning, and her steps have become hesitant.

Yang Jing's mind was all on the words of the right talent Yueniang, and he didn't take into account the reaction of the summer solstice.

Although Yueniang didn't reveal much, because she was in a semi-comatose state, Yang Jing used a hypnotic method to induce questions, and the answer she came up with should be true.

Yun Gou'er's name is obviously not a name that a rich and noble family should have, thinking of what he was wearing when he was rescued from Dongting Lake by the Chen family's father and son, Yang Jing was confused again.

Yueniang is obviously full of hatred for this cloud dog, otherwise she would not have threatened to kill the cloud dog before she fell unconscious.

If this is really the case, then even if Yueniang wakes up, it is quite difficult for Yang Jing to ask what comes out of her mouth, and now that it has been determined that Yueniang is not the real culprit of the Xia family's extermination case, there is no reason for him to detain her back to the yamen.

Of course, if Yang Jing's speculation is correct, in fact, he has another reason to continue to detain Yueniang, but it needs to be confirmed after Yueniang wakes up.

Yang Jing pondered these questions repeatedly along the way, and became silent, and it was not until Xia Zhi stopped that he came back to his senses.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Brother Yang, there seems to be a family in front!" Xia Zhi pointed forward with a torch, Yang Jing looked forward in her direction, and sure enough, she saw a forest hut, standing out in the black, although the night was dark, it was still angular!

At present, they have walked for a little half of the night, and there is still some distance from Luoxia Village, and seeing that the heavy rain is coming, Yueniang fell asleep again, if she is really wet by the heavy rain, Yueniang's injury is afraid that it will worsen more and more.

Yang Jing thought about it, and subconsciously glanced behind him, he had carried Yueniang on his back for so long, and his physical strength was also consumed, and after thinking about it, he said to Xia Zhi: "Then let's go up and have a look." ”

Xia Zhi really didn't want to worry about walking at night anymore, so he was overjoyed, nodded vigorously, and took Yang Jing to this hut.

There is a wooden fence in front of the hut, and the fence and the open space in front of the house have been reclaimed into a medicine garden, and the aroma of herbs can be smelled from afar.

The wooden house is not very large, on the right is a nondescript grass hut, and I don't know if it is a kitchen or a latrine.

Yang Jing subconsciously touched the scalpel in the cuffs, and was about to call the door, but after thinking about it, he was a man, in the middle of the night, but the other party couldn't rest assured, this kind of thing is better to let Xia Solstice come.

Xia Zhi nodded at Yang Jing, but when he arrived at the door of the house, he was a little scared, took a deep breath, strengthened his courage, and knocked on the door gently.

"Anyone?"

"Anyone?"

Xia Zhi shouted three times in a row, and the lights were lit in the house, and a hoarse voice sounded in the house, obviously the master's house was behind the door: "Who!"

When Yang Jing heard it, it should be an old woman's voice, and her heart settled down a lot, and Xia Zhi was even more happy, and replied inside.

"Master, I am the maid of the shopkeeper of Cao in Baling County, and I accompanied my son and young lady to swim in the lake, because of the young lady... The young lady fell on the mountain road and delayed the trip, and wanted to stay at the master's house for half a night, and asked the host's family to travel conveniently..."

When Yang Jing heard this, she couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart, although Xia Zhi is not very old, she is really a delicate character who is used to serving people, and the information in her words is all showing that she and Yang Jing do not have any danger, and try to relieve the vigilance of the master's family.

There are names and surnames in her words, there are men and women, and she uses the injured young lady to arouse the sympathy of the master's family, and in just a few words, she has already embodied several skills, and she is really a clever girl to the extreme.

There was silence in the wooden house for a moment, and the old woman's voice came out again, but it eased a lot: "The old man lives here alone, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests, so you better go, there are a few hunters two miles ahead..."

Yang Jing didn't expect this old man to be so vigilant, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to fight for it, but he saw Xia Zhi groping in his arms, and he actually took out a pile of banknotes and stuffed it low through the door.

"Mother-in-law, my young lady fell hard, and now she is in a coma, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to the front, mother-in-law, you will be kind and take us in..."

Yang Jing saw the pile of banknotes, and suddenly remembered that the owner of his body originally used the banknotes, and couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect the Xia Solstice girl to be so rich, seeing the light behind the door swaying and shifting, Yang Jing knew that the old woman was looking down to pick up the pile of banknotes, so he whispered to Xia Zhi: "I didn't expect you girl to be so rich..."

"Rich?" Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, and then touched his little head and replied to Yang Jing: "This is the usual banknote, the current banknote is very cheap, and the banknote can only be exchanged for more than a hundred yuan..."

Yang Jing was also shocked when he heard this, the copper money has always been able to be exchanged for more than 770 yuan, but the consistent banknote can only be exchanged for more than 100 yuan, which means that the banknote has depreciated to one-seventh of the copper coin!

"Oh my God, that's the case, it's really wrong!" Yang Jing scolded himself in his heart.

He thought that banknotes like Jiaozi and Huizi were not in large-scale circulation in the Southern Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that in the later period of the Southern Song Dynasty, banknotes like Huizi had already been flooded and depreciated, that is, ordinary people were reluctant to use Huibanknotes!

These banknotes can only be forcibly stuffed to the common people when the government collects taxes and various assessments, and when the government buys private materials, ordinary people would rather carry heavy copper coins or even iron coins than use them!

He always thought that Yun Gou'er had a large amount of money on him, and he should be a rich and noble person, but now it seems that this Yun Gou'er should not be a nobleman, but the gorgeous clothes and jade pendants on his body can't be faked!

Why does a cloud dog with a banknote on his body wear luxurious clothes when he falls into the water?

After Yang Jing realized this common-sense error, almost all previous speculations about his identity were overturned and he started all over again.

Just when he was thinking about it, the door creaked open, and under the light of the lamp, the figure was not a rickety old woman, but a woman standing upright!

This woman in black is tall and plump, and she should look like she should be twenty-seven or eighteen, and Yang Jing and Xia Zhi were also stunned on the spot.

The woman looked at the Xia Solstice girl carefully, then looked at Yang Jing, and the Yueniang that Yang Jing was carrying, and then completely opened the door, and said to Yang Jing and the two in a hoarse voice: "Come in first." ”

Yang Jing subconsciously glanced at it, this woman's skin is white and snowy, her eyes are like peach blossoms, her lips are like red lips and teeth, and she is a beauty full of mature charm, the weather is hot and humid at this time, she just got up again, she couldn't get dressed neatly in a hurry, and a scar appeared on her neck, I am afraid that she has been injured before, no wonder her voice is so hoarse and ugly.

When passing by with the woman, Yang Jing didn't dare to look directly, bowed his head and thanked him, a strange fragrance like an orchid musk deer, rushing into his nose, making people feel excited, and the woman quietly hid the scissors in her hand behind her small movements, and she couldn't escape Yang Jing's gaze.

The wooden house is very simple, separated by a screen, behind which is the boudoir, with tables and chairs in the front half, and next to it is a medicine shelf, which is filled with all kinds of fresh and clean herbs and some bottles and jars.

Yang Jing put Yueniang down, and it was not easy to enter the woman's boudoir, Xia Zhi was also clever, and immediately helped Yueniang, and the woman also came to help, and together with Xia Zhi, Yueniang was half hugged and half supported and settled on the bed behind the screen.

When the woman came out again, Yang Jing bowed his hand and said, "Thank you girl, dare to ask the girl's name?"

The woman in black bent her knees slightly and saluted back: "The concubine is a cheap name, how can it enter the ears of the son, the son will rest for a while, and the concubine will go to boil some hot water..."

Yang Jing heard that she was going to boil hot water, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Madame is already grateful for being able to take me in, where do you dare to bother Madame to do it, I'll go." ”

Although the woman in black loosened her bun, she couldn't tell whether she was a girl or a woman, but she deliberately called herself a concubine, which was to show that she was already a married woman, and Yang Jing naturally couldn't call her a girl anymore.

Just glanced at the spirit card on the right side of the room, and saw that the woman was dressed in black, thinking that it should be a widow who lives alone here, and she is mourning for her husband's filial piety.

Seeing that Yang Jing was so understanding, the woman was also slightly happy, pointed to the shack on the right side of the house, and said slightly apologetically that it was the kitchen, and Yang Jing withdrew from the room and wanted to go to the kitchen to boil water.

Yang Jing came to the front of the shack, took off the lantern cover, blew the fire fold and lit it, and then picked up the lantern and pushed open the simple door of the kitchen.

Just pushed the door panel, a foul smell of feces suddenly came to the nose, flies and mosquitoes were alarmed by the buzz, it turned out to be a thatched house!

Yang Jing was horrified, the lantern poked forward, and on the ground of the thatched house, there was a corpse of an elderly man, and the blood stains of the corpse had not yet coagulated!

"Oh no!

Yang Jing's scalp suddenly tingled, although he didn't know the identity of the woman, and he didn't know if she was with Yueniang, but this was clearly the magpie's nest dove, who killed the original owner of the wooden house, and waited for the rabbit here, just waiting for himself to enter the house!

This thought hit Yang Jing's mind like lightning, and he was about to turn around subconsciously, but at this time, his back was cold, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up one by one.

Yang Jing gasped, saw a pair of pointy embroidered shoes, grabbed the woman's ankle, leaned back against her back, and made a grappling move to suppress the woman to the ground!

The woman didn't expect Yang Jing to be so alert, and while leaning back, her knees pressed against Yang Jing's waist, but the sharp blade in her hand had already gone around to the front, her left hand grabbed the back of the knife, and she struggled to be pulled down by Yang Jing's back, but the sharp blade was pulled horizontally towards Yang Jing's neck!
