Chapter 11: Visiting a Brothel
Leaving the Ye family, Jiang Lin, Su Yu and Zhang Shaowu sat in the car and rushed to the thirteenth floor.
Zhang Shaowu was very depressed, these eight people went to the same place before they died, and their deaths were exactly the same, which was obviously a serial murder case. The cause of death was hanging. He made several trips to the thirteenth floor, searching inside and out, and it was impossible to find out who had given the handkerchief and where the thread came from. The handkerchief seemed to come out of nowhere, and suddenly it reached the hands of the deceased. Zhang Shaowu has a head and two big, and he only faintly feels that there is something strange in it, and he can't figure out what this weirdness is.
Why is the thirteenth floor called the thirteenth floor? Because it occupies the largest area on Quehua Street, it has thirteen floors, hence the name.
The thirteenth floor is widely spread in the mouths of the men in Yangzhou City, there are beautiful wines and beauties, gambling songs and dances, drunk gold fans, as long as you have money, you can want to die here.
The girls on the thirteenth floor are different, there are those who show their thighs and dance Western, and there are also those who play the pipa and sing, as long as the guests have ideas, they can meet the desires of the guests here, thousands of styles, thousands of styles, there is always one suitable for you. Therefore, people from outside Yangzhou City often come here.
The day after Su Yu came back from Paris, he hummed a song and wandered around Yangzhou City, walked to the tofu shop opposite the thirteenth floor to eat tofu flowers, many girls ran to the balcony railing and screamed to throw flowers to him, Su Yu was secretly proud, who knew that he would be sick when he went back that day, Su Jiao guessed at the time that he must have been contaminated with the bad luck of the thirteenth floor.
Since the rumors of the female ghost spread, almost all the guests on the thirteenth floor have been scared away, and only a few bold regulars are left who come and go from time to time, which is sad for the aunt on the thirteenth floor, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later she will have to close the door and drink the northwest wind.
Who knew that there were two handsome-looking guests here today? The aunt's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly glanced at the girls next to her.
Zhang Shaowu went there too many times, and his aunt's eyes could stare him out of a hole, and he couldn't tell the truth at all, so he stayed in the car.
As soon as Jiang Lin and Su Yu entered the door, a group of women immediately surrounded them.
Wearing a high-necked blouse, horseshoe sleeves, and a circle of foreign lace sewn on the sleeves, he rushed to Jiang Lin. Wearing a large open collar, revealing a white and plump chest, he directly bumped into Su Yu. Those wearing leggings, black leather boots, and riding costumes were surrounded by the outer layer. They were all smiling, smiling like flowers, covered with the scent of rouge, and their pink and slender hands grasped them like claws.
The Su family has a strict tutor, Su Yu is the first time to go to this fireworks venue, and he can't parry it for a while, he is irritable and blushing, and he is so embarrassed that he can't even speak.
Looking at Jiang Lin again, he calmly took a girl by the hand, sat down to drink tea, and calmly looked at Su Yu's jokes.
This is a rule in the brothel, which girl likes to drink tea together, and finally give a reward, is the most common method in the brothel, called "tea around", the other girls saw this and scattered with interest.
Su Yu was embarrassed and scolded secretly: Okay, you Jiang Lin, you look like a person who has been messing around all day long, but you don't wake up in advance so that he can be prepared!
The woman sat down on Su Yu's lap with her hands hooked, and the warm nephrite in her arms was fragrant. Suddenly, thinking of Dou Xinyan, Su Yu sighed faintly in his heart.
"My name is Begonia. Haitang said in his ear, "I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Su family, who has a strict family education, also loves this Fengyue place." ”
Su Yu was startled, his face was slightly red, "You know me?"
Begonia eats and laughs:
"Who wouldn't know you, Young Master Su? Not only do I know you, but I also know what you're going to do!"
"yes, tell me about it. Su Yu smiled.
"It is said that Young Master Su loves to raise the bar with ghosts and ghosts, what else can you do when you come at this time? What's more, you also brought a boss, Young Master Su, you are not here to find a girl, but to solve the case. ”
Guessed well, Su Yu said secretly. But when he heard Haitang call Jiang Lin the boss, he couldn't help but want to turn around and make fun of him. Again:
"You're so smart that you must know what I'm going to ask......"
Begonia giggled.
"I've told the story of the hanged ghost on the thirteenth floor countless times, so it doesn't hurt to tell you about it.
The hanged female ghost is an Oiran a few years ago, named Fan Yu, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water, and she is a beauty who is shy of flowers in the closed moon. I don't know which rich man's second son fell in love, and suddenly one day he stopped picking up customers and locked himself on the top floor of the thirteenth floor. The aunt got the ocean of the second son, and she didn't force her. But one day everyone didn't see her movement, and when they opened the door to take a look, they found that she had hanged herself, with **** red makeup, very scary! The aunt scolded and buried her, and I didn't see the second son appear. But when it comes to haunting, it only started a month ago.
The cuckoo, who lived on the third floor, had a stomach upset one night, and when she came back from the hut, she saw a figure on the stairs, and the cuckoo went to call her. Who knew that the person's face turned around, and it turned out to be a woman with a pale face and eyes like fish. Cuckoo fainted in fright, and secondly told others that everyone only thought she had broken her head.
But later, on the night of the third young master of the Zhang family's engagement, he also saw a female ghost wearing red makeup and white eyes floating in, and then he hanged himself, and lost the handkerchief at his feet to write ghost poems. The third young master and our cuckoo on the third floor were like glue, but they suddenly broke off contact before they got married, and they didn't even have a letter. So the girls in the building said that Fan Yu couldn't get used to the thin lover in this world, and stood up for the cuckoo.
Later, next to Longhua Gate, there lived the second master of the Ma family, the old man of the Tang family, Zhou Yuan, who sold silk and satin on Quehua Street, and the son of the Xu family in the sugar store all hanged himself. They are all sweet, but in fact, they are very affectionate, as soon as the quilt is lifted and the bed board is lifted, they immediately turn their faces and don't recognize people. The third son of the boss of Mi Xingye on the other side of the street, who originally said that he was going to redeem the new rose, deceived her virgin body, but who knew that he married the eldest lady of the Wu family in a blink of an eye...... Although this ghost is very troublesome, our sisters on the thirteenth floor are not afraid. It's just a rumor, everyone doesn't come to the thirteenth floor anymore, and the business here has plummeted!"
Su Yu sighed with emotion when he heard it, no wonder Jiang Lin said that there must be a cause and effect for being related to ghosts.
And he said, "Even though you tell this story so vividly, you can't frighten me." ”
Begonia red lips slightly curled, laughing in Su Yu's arms,
"I know you're here to hear this story, and if I don't tell you, I'm afraid you're going to leave soon. What's more, the young master of the Su family is the one who broke through the Hades Palace, and he is naturally very bold, and he will not be afraid of the hanged ghosts here. ”
This made Su Yu feel very happy.
"I wonder if there are still people living on these thirteenth floors?"
At this time, the begonia in his arms stiffened, and his face was afraid. After a moment of hesitation, he said,
"A month ago, someone lived there, but after the accident of the third son of the Zhang family, the sisters who lived above said that there would be ghosts and shadows on the thirteenth floor in the middle of the night, flying with the building on their backs, and they didn't know where they were flying. After that, everyone didn't dare to live anymore. I didn't believe it at first, and I wanted to give it a try. In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of the wind and snow swaying, the house shook, the windows creaked, and the whole house seemed to be walking. I didn't dare to close my eyes all night, and the next day I just heard the rooster crow and rushed out of the door, who knew that I was back, and when I went downstairs, I saw that it was still sisters, and everything was as usual. ”
Su Yu's eyes widened in surprise, Lou can fly, the power of the ghost is so great, can he actually lift the Lou up, this is too unbelievable. Moving out of a building is structurally difficult to ensure that the frame of the building is not deformed, unless the entire plot of land can be shoveled together. If this female ghost can have such a great ability, why don't she go to heaven to be a god?
pressed the question in his heart, but praised it inappropriately,
"It turns out that you are not only smart, but also a brave girl. ”
Haitang was slightly stunned, her face was pale, and her smile was extremely bright.
He pushed away the begonia, stood up and said loudly,
"I'm on the thirteenth floor tonight, I'm going to see how this building runs,"
After speaking, he was about to go upstairs, but who knew that Begonia looked at him with faint eyes. Su Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
A hand suddenly stretched out beside him and put a few pieces of ocean into Begonia's empty teacup.
Begonia covered her mouth and smiled, took the money and left. laughed so much that Su Yu felt that he was a dumbfounder, a big fool, a failure, and no demeanor.
"The dignified young master of the Su family, he still doesn't give money for the tea round, the Su family is really a businessman, and he really picks the door. ”
The corners of Jiang Lin's mouth sneered slightly. Su Yu was annoyed and angry, and his face was full of purple swelling.
"How do I know the rules here?! Besides, Young Master Ben didn't bring any clumsy and heavy stuff with him!"
That night, the rain and snow were sometimes heavier and sometimes lighter, and they crackled against the windows, and the north wind poured into the cracks in the windows and whined. It's like a horror movie in a movie theater, it's very appropriate.
Su Yu was lying on the bed on the thirteenth floor, cocking Erlang's legs with a depressed expression.
"I imagine that visiting the Qinglou is to sleep with a gentle beauty, grinding with ears and temples, getting drunk and dreaming of death, not with a god stick waiting to date a female ghost. ”
Jiang Lin sat on the chair and closed his eyes and ignored him.
Halfway through the night, it was quiet on the thirteenth floor, and the rain and snow outside the window were gradually lightening. Even the whining wind seemed to be subdued. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Su Yu's patience was almost exhausted, so he had to jump out of bed and look at the windows around him, and wandered around the room, babbling on his lips:
"Why don't you come yet, if you don't come, I'm going to leave......"
At this time, Jiang Lin opened his eyes with a slightly mocking smile and said:
"Are you nervous?"
Su Yu's face was embarrassed, and he found that his palms were full of cold sweat. When I was a child, the female ghosts with black hair, long tongues, and sharp claws that I heard from stories came to my mind one by one. Although I was looking forward to seeing the true face of this ghost, I couldn't suppress the faint fear in my heart. The heart was broken, Su Yu's face was hot, and his footsteps immediately stopped. I felt that I couldn't hold my face anymore, so I had to argue indiscriminately, "I dare to go to a mass grave at the age of three, I will be afraid?
Suddenly, the air temperature plummeted, and the sound of wind and rain outside the window seemed to stop suddenly. There was silence all around.
Su Yu shuddered and aimed at Jiang Lin with his eyes, and Jiang Lin made a gesture of silence. Su Yu shrunk, and had already made up his mind and moved to Jiang Lin's side: Although Jiang Lin is not a good thing, his ability is not small, and he will not suffer if he follows closely.
Then the wind rose again, getting faster and tighter. The windows were crackling, and the whining of the wind was getting sharper and sharper. The tables and chairs in the room swayed, tea splashed, and the lights were all extinguished. The buzzing vibration came from the soles of the feet, making people's scalps tingle, and the whole floor of the house seemed to fly.
Su Yu's eyes were dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he was shocked:
"Fly, this building is really ****** flying!"
Jiang Lin covered Su Yu's big mouth and made him quiet.
The rain and snow in the wind seem to beat the windows endlessly, as if they are about to snatch in. After a while, the wind gradually quieted down, and the frequency of the tables and chairs shaking became less, and finally the whole room was silent.
Su Yu was holding back uncomfortably, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw a shadow appear against the rosewood wall in the corridor. A shadow with long hair, long robes, and a slow move with slow steps, a cold aura that seemed to seep through the walls.
Su Yu was scared and excited, lowered his voice and said eagerly:
"Jiang Lin, the ghost is here!"
Jiang Lin lowered his head and said a strange word, and took out the Linjiang mirror from his obedient clothes. Su Yu was surprised at how this large mirror was hidden.
"Are you trying to kill her?" asked Su Yu.
"Linjiang Mirror never kills", Jiang Lin said: "People can become ghosts, that is, there is karma in it, if you can probe the sea of knowledge of this female ghost, understand her regrets and resentments during her lifetime, maybe it can be resolved, why kill in the first place?"
Su Yu snorted, "What kind of mercy is staged at this time? When you kill demons and ghosts, your subordinates are merciful, I don't know how happy you were when you killed someone!"
Jiang Lin was silent, and the atmosphere was slightly gloomy. Su Yu thought that this was poking him in the sore spot, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Jiang Lin nodded to the mirror and read:
"The traffic yin and yang dawn in the previous life, the east of the forgotten river flows into the sea of knowledge, and the river leads you back. ”
After speaking, the mirror glowed with a cyan light, like a ribbon across the wall, and the ghost's shadow suddenly froze, and raised its head hoarsely, the sound was like a fingernail scratching the floor, which was uncomfortable to hear.
Jiang Lin's expression was very puzzled, and Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Lin said, "This ghost doesn't know the sea. ”
Su Yu jumped up in a hurry, as if he had been bitten by a rabbit.
"Don't you say that ghosts are spirits that have been forcibly stripped from the sea of consciousness of the living? Ghosts are the embodiment of the spirits of living people, how can there be none?"
Jiang Lin's face was solemn, "The Linjiang mirror must not be wrong...... The female ghost really didn't know the sea, she didn't have a life, she didn't have a past. ”
"Was she born a ghost?" Su Yu growled under his breath.
Jiang Lin was silent, and then said:
If Zixin had been here, he might have known the mystery. ”
Suyu Daike:
"What is the point of mentioning that fetal hair at this time, you hurry up and think of a way! What if she comes in?"
As soon as the words came out, the ghost turned to them, reached out and broke through the carved wooden fence, and floated in. Su Yu scolded himself for his crow's mouth.
This female ghost is dressed in floor-length red clothes, long black hair, and a pair of fish-like big white eyes embedded in the eye sockets, which will fall off at any time. She floated in the air, staring at both of them.
This ghost is exactly as written in the poem. Su Yu's heart was pounding, but he couldn't take his eyes off the ghost's body anymore. Suddenly, the female ghost disappeared from the spot with a slight shake, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of him, the thin and cold fingertips almost touched his neck, Su Yu's soul flew away, and he fell to the ground, and a strange scream popped out of his throat.
"Mom!"
Jiang Lin looked at Su Yu when he heard the sound, raised his arm and waved it sharply, and a white snake-like white light flew out of his sleeve, making a dull roar, like the whistle of a ship at sea. A blazing white light illuminates every corner of the room.
Suddenly a strong wind raged in the house. The strong wind blew Su Yu couldn't open his eyes, only felt a gentle air flow bypassing him, and then there was the sound of tables and chairs toppling over and teacups breaking.
After a while, the sound of the wind disappeared instantly, the light dimmed, and the sound of ping-pong toppling was gone. It's like after a storm, everything is calm. There was only a small birdsong chirping in my ears.
Su Yu opened his eyes and saw that the fire was bright, the tables and chairs fell to the ground, and an almost transparent swallow was stopping in Jiang Lin's hand.
Su Yu was surprised, "What is this?"
Jiang Lin smiled and teased the little swallow, and the swallow chirped twice into his sleeve.
It is a kind of Rui beast parasitic on the human body, which becomes a swallow when it meets people and a dragon when it encounters ghosts, so it is called Longyan. ”
Su Yu froze, the wind was raging in the house just now, and that thing like a white snake was the dragon that this little thing had turned into. It's a pity that I didn't take the opportunity to see it clearly! Su Yu secretly regretted it. suddenly reacted and turned around in horror:
"Where did the ghost go?"
Jiang Lin didn't answer, but asked:
"Did the ghost come in?"
Su Yu was about to argue, looking at the wall of the corridor, who knew that it was intact, where was the hole that was torn open by the female ghost? Su Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes and was dumbfounded.
Jiang Lin said, "The ghost shadow just disappeared from the corridor, and I saw you pinching your neck and screaming." In a hurry, he waved out the dragon swallow to bring you back to your senses. ”
Su Yu asked anxiously, "Then where did she go now?"
"Naturally go back to where she should be. I now finally understand how she kills. Jiang Lin smiled, showing his relief after the problem was solved.
Suyu was confused. Jiang Lin said again:
"Don't you want to see where we are?"
Su Yu patted his head in fear, and said that this building would fly, but he wanted to see where he flew now. Hurriedly pushed open the window and looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked.
The surroundings were dark, the trees and bamboos on both sides of the bank were crunched by the wind, the water at the bottom of the building was roaring, and the dark tide was surging. The thirteenth floor was floating on the water surface of the Luo River!!
