Chapter 396: The Hidden Rich

The old woman smiled, revealing her white and neat teeth, "What are you afraid of?" If I want to hurt you, you're already a dead man. ”

Chen Ge thought about it, if she wanted to kill herself, she didn't need to bring her here at all.

Helpless, she could only bite the bullet and go up the stairs.

It was a dark and empty room.

Under the arched window was a crude board bed, and all kinds of clothes were stacked on the bed.

The clothes were all women's clothing, some of them of bright colors and elaborate workmanship; Some of them are coarse and linen, and the color is old.

On the other side, there was an equally crude wooden table, on which there was a set of silver-inlaid purple sand tea sets, which looked out of place.

There is a wide bamboo bench against the wall, and various knives are lined up on the bamboo bench, each of which is cold.

Again, there was a brick stove in the corner, with a large iron pot and a thick wooden lid.

There was an indescribable smell in the room, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"I guess you don't like it here. I'll take you upstairs to have a look. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, she led her upstairs.

As Chen Ge walked with her, he looked back at the knives on the bamboo stool, and a cold sweat oozed from his palms.

I don't know what's scary upstairs.

Unexpectedly, upstairs turned out to be a different scene.

The light in this room is much brighter, and there is a red sandalwood bookcase by the window, which is beautifully carved and meticulously worked, and it is something that can only be found in the palace.

Next to the bookcase, there are bookshelves of the same material and workmanship, on which some thread-bound ancient books are neatly stacked.

On the wall next to the bookshelf hangs a landscape scroll, the painting is quiet and the brush and ink are shining.

Next to it is an antique shelf, on which the jade antiques are all rare treasures.

Chen Ge looked around, stunned on the spot, and couldn't understand how such a strange old woman built this watchtower in this barren mountain and how she arranged such a luxurious and elegant study.

"Why is upstairs and downstairs so different?"

Chen Ge couldn't help but ask.

"Downstairs hurts people, upstairs saves people, naturally there is a world of difference."

The old woman's words were amazing.

Chen Ge took a step back, "You, you won't kill me?" What are you asking me to do here? ”

The old woman looked her up and down, "At first glance, you are a well-read and well-known lady." You don't have to be afraid, I don't need you to do any dirty work, you help me finish reading these books, I'll let you go, and I'll show you the way. ”

"No! There are so many books here, and by the time I finish reading them, the ghost flowers have long passed their flowering period! ”

Morning Song flatly refused.

"I can't help you when I come. Don't worry, you just want to practice love Gu, I can help you. After reading these books, tell me what the books say, I am happy to hear it, and I will help you practice the most powerful love Gu in the world. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm."

After the old woman finished speaking, she turned around and went downstairs.

Chen Ge breathed a long sigh of relief, what happened was really getting more and more evil, but she had no choice but to listen to the old woman's words.

She walked to the bookshelf and found that these books were divided into two categories, one was some secret histories of the palace and anecdotes, and the other was some longitude and latitude strategies and vertical and horizontal techniques.

The former is obscure and vulgar, and the latter is subtle and profound, and it is also very different.

This old woman seems to like to contradict herself.

Chen Ge was distraught, and took out a copy at random to look through.

This is a special collection of a famous poet in the previous dynasty, and the rare words on each page have been annotated with a red pen, and the handwriting is full of charm and the pen and ink are very exquisite.

There are also illustrations in the middle, in which the talented woman in the painting looks lingering and compassionate, and the situation is vivid, all of which are wonderful hands.

At first glance, I can't put it down.

Chen Ge forgot his fear for a while, turned to a page and looked carefully:

In the paradise, it is a great misfortune that there are many disputes and disputes that have become the norm.

Life is short, superficial men and women, dewy love, all use love as a play, this is really a self-created evil.

……

It is a language that persuades people to go astray, to know their way back, and to have few desires.

Chenge suddenly felt bored, put the book back on the shelf, and his heart became more and more restless.

There are certain rules for love in this world, and what is right and wrong is also different from person to person.

If they are all ruthless and loveless, right and wrong are clear, then there are so many crazy men and women, and they hate the sea?

What's more, what's so interesting about these persuasive books, she just finished reading them all, how can she make the weird old woman happy?

As for those works of senior government that have gone through the world and are eloquent, in her opinion, they are even more undesirable.

Fighting for power and profit, deceiving me, that's all men's business, and it has nothing to do with her.

She didn't even have the interest in reading these books, so how could she be able to talk about the truth?

A woman should look like a woman, think what a woman should think, and do what a woman should do.

Dress up beautifully, compete for the wind and be jealous, try every possible way to find a capable man, and then rely on him to eat and wear without worrying, have another child as a mother, and watch the child grow up and spread out, isn't it perfect in life?

But if she told the old witch like this, she was afraid that she would die a miserable death.

Chen Ge thought of the row of sharp knives on the bamboo bench downstairs, and the big iron pot that was enough to cook one person, and couldn't help but shudder.

In a flash, she saw three drawers under the bookshelf, all with copper padlocks on them, but they were not locked.

Chen Ge became curious, opened the first drawer, and saw that there were all kinds of roppas and hairpins inside.

Luo Pa is either embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, or the cranes cross their necks and flowers bloom, all of which are given by women to men for romance.

Most of the hairpins are gold inlaid with jade, and they are all valuable.

However, seeing these things, Chen Ge's scalp tightened, these must be dead people's things.

Chenge closed the first drawer in disgust, thought for a moment, and pulled the next one away.

Inside are all kinds of wrenches, bracelets, belts, and jade.

Chenge quickly closed it and pulled the third one.

No, as soon as she exerted her strength, the old rusty copper lock was broken along with the drawer zipper, making a soft sound, which really startled her.

She was afraid that the old witch would come up and scold her, so she waited for a long time.

Frightened, she opened the third drawer, which was full of letters, posters, and bills.

Those bills are mainly silver and house deeds, and after reading them carefully, Chen Ge was surprised.

The number of silver tickets adds up to a considerable amount, and the location of the courtyard noted on the deed is mostly a bustling downtown where famous families gather.

This old witch who lives alone in the mountains turns out to be a rich man in the hidden world, but where did she get these things?

Wait for the rabbit, kill people and sell goods.

Chen Ge swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, she couldn't wait here to die, how many people did this old witch kill to accumulate so many things?

She looked around, her eyes fell on the open arched window, she walked over, her hand on the window frame, and as soon as she lifted her foot, she heard the old woman's voice come in a procrastinating voice: "Girl, drink a glass of water......
