Chapter 192: Once Upon a Time in Queensland

Mo Xiao was a little surprised, this girl's body was like a glutton, no matter how much internal force was entered, she would take it all.

"Isn't it really haunted by evil spirits?"

At this point, Mo Xiao is also a little unconfident.

"Hee-hee, what are you doing?"

There was laughter by the window, and two girls laughed in front of the window and looked into the room.

Mo Xiao frowned for a while, Wang Dahu was big-hearted, and he was not afraid of these girls, which disturbed Miss Wang.

Wang Dahu walked in

"It's okay, I told them, as long as you don't come into this house, feel free to play."

Mo Xiao nodded.

"Mr. Wen, how do you look?"

Wang Dahu lowered his body, and because of the pulse, Miss Wang's sleeves were lifted and pulled them back.

"The young lady hasn't woken up yet?"

The two girls flashed their big eyes and looked innocently at the girl on the bed.

Wang Dahu turned his head and smiled kindly

"The young lady is a big lazy worm and likes to sleep lazy, in the future, you have to often call the young lady to get up, okay?"

"Hmm!"

Wang Dahu turned his head and turned his gaze to Mo Xiao, who had been staring at him.

"They are all daughters of poor families in the state city."

"I thought that this work would not require much effort anyway, and that it would only be fun every day, and that I could earn some food for the family, so I brought them over."

He turned his head again and looked silently at the girl on the bed.

"Xiang'er likes to be lively, so it's lively."

"Her name is Xiang'er?"

Mo Xiao asked.

Wang Dahu nodded

"My wife took it."

"Ma'am?"

Wang Dahu suddenly showed a meaningful smile.

"Mr. Wen is afraid that he heard the nonsense of people outside, saying that it was born to my concubine, but in fact, Xiang'er was born to my wife, and after she left, I didn't have any other children."

Mo Xiao felt that when he said his wife, Wang Dahu's eyes were full of infinite spirit.

He seems to have become a young scholar, full of ambition and enthusiasm.

Mo Xiao originally thought that Wang Dahu was a fat brain and a rich wine bag and rice bag, but I have to say that after just a moment of getting along, he completely changed his opinion of him.

"Master Wang is really a kind man."

Wang Dahu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Mr. Wen smiled, can you see what kind of disease Xiang'er has?"

Mo Xiao frowned, sick? Isn't it haunted by evil spirits?

His eyes unconsciously glanced at the talisman at the head of the bed.

Wang Dahu noticed Mo Xiao's gaze and said with a smile

"It seems that Mr. Wen learned a lot of things before he came."

Mo Xiao nodded

"Yes."

Wang Dahu's expression became a little melancholy.

"That Taoist did save the little girl's life, but it only cured the symptoms, not the root cause."

Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said

"I need time to think about it."

"Okay, I'll ask Steward Lin to send the two of you back, and these days, the two of you can come and go in my house at will."

"Thank you, Master Wang."

"Sir!"

Steward Lin suddenly shouted at the door, his voice a little hurried.

"What?"

"Someone from the City Lord's Mansion has come, saying that he invited you to come over."

Mo Xiao's face changed abruptly, but then he regained his expression and stood aside silently.

Wang Dahu hesitated, bowed to Mo Xiao, and said

"Mr. Wen, if there is an urgent matter in the future, I won't leave you."

Mo Xiao remained silent and nodded.

"Little sister, let's go."

Leaving the gate of the palace, Mo Xiao immediately pulled the warmth and ran to the side where no one was.

"Brother Mo, what's the situation, Miss Wang is really haunted by evil ghosts?"

Warmth asked directly.

Mo Xiao shook his head, also in a trance

"The pulse is normal, but she is unconscious, it really seems that something has been absorbing her essence...... I don't have a clue yet. ”

"Quick!"

At the main entrance, the butler shouted urgently, and a carriage left in a hurry.

The stomach "gurgled", and the warmth stuck out his tongue, and pulled Mo Xiao's sleeve coquettishly.

"Let's go get something to eat."

After speaking, he looked in the distance, there was a steamed bun shop on the street, which was steaming hot, and swallowed his saliva warmly.

The two walked to the bun shop.

"Boss, how much does this bun cost?"

The boss was a middle-aged man, smiled honestly, and stretched out three fingers.

Warm just wanted to say that it was too expensive, and it was not cheap anywhere for a bun.

Unexpectedly, the boss said

"Three meat buns for a penny."

"So cheap?"

Even Mo Xiao was a little surprised.

Nuan grabbed Mo Xiao's hand, remained silent, and smiled

"Then bring us three meat buns."

"Okay."

A moment later, the two walked on the street, looking at the warmth of their mouths full of oil, Mo Xiao was very puzzled.

"Why did you stop me just now?"

Warmth swallowed hard, patted his chest, and gasped.

"Brother Mo, look at the street."

"What's the matter, isn't this just an ordinary street?"

Shaking his head warmly, Mo Xiao was looking around.

"Don't you think there's no one on this street?"

Hearing Wen Wen say this, Mo Xiao looked around again, there are indeed not many people on this street, but it is not a small number.

"Okay, maybe it's not the busiest street in town."

Warmth shook her head again

"This is where the Wang family's mansion is located, if you look at both sides, probably the best silk village and the largest gambling house are all here, logically speaking, this should be the most prosperous street in the city."

Speaking of this, she changed her words again.

"It's too quiet."

Then, Wen Wen pulled Mo Xiao again and walked into a rouge shop.

"What do you want to choose?"

As soon as she entered the door, the flower-like lady greeted her with a smile, and the wind with her was full of fragrant fragrance.

However, there were no customers in the shop.

In front of the rouge boxes that look like you're going to be expensive, there are vertical prices, but the prices are low.

"Just take a look."

Warmth has been dazzling.

"The things we have here are all good and cheap, you can buy them casually, and you can't buy things as cheap as us when you go somewhere else."

"Indeed, why is your rouge here so cheap, there won't be a fake, right?"

When the lady heard this, she immediately became anxious and hurriedly said

"That's unacceptable, we're here, that's the price."

Half an hour later, the two returned to the inn.

"How's it going?"

Xu Si'er seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw the two, he greeted him and asked about the situation.

"Go upstairs and say."

The warmth gave him a look, Xu Si'er was clever and followed them upstairs.

"What else do you know about Miss Wang Xiang'er?"

After entering the guest room, Mo Xiao asked directly.

Xu Si'er lowered his head and thought about it, and said

"Miss Wang's affairs, Wang Dahu is well kept secret, outsiders can't know, but there is something that everyone knows."

"What's the matter?"

Nuan Wen's eyes suddenly widened and stared at Xu Si'er.

"It is said that back then, when the young lady was young, she liked the woods in the back mountain very much, and often went there to play."

"We all know this, is there anything about haunting."

Warmth was somewhat disappointed.

"Haunted? There really is! ”

Xu Si'er's expression suddenly became excited.

"Ever since it was reported that Miss Wang was unconscious, there have been occasional hauntings in the middle of the night."

"Seven months ago, Lao Liu, who played the shift, met Miss Wang's soul at night!"

"Soul encounter?"

Warm and surprised, can there be such a bizarre thing?

Xu Si'er nodded like a wooden fish stick, and said in a chattering voice

"Lao Liu said, that Miss Wang was wearing a red dress, so she walked towards him face to face, and smiled at him, which scared him so much that he ran away."

"The next night, Lao Liu pestered his younger brother to accompany him on the shift, but he was fine for a few days."

"As a result, a few days later, I met Miss Wang again, just outside the walls of the palace courtyard, dressed in red again."

"How do you know that it is Miss Wang, according to this statement, Lao Liu should be some distance away from Miss Wang, and it is dark, how can you see clearly?"

Warmth asked.

Xu Si'er is very sure

"Can't be wrong, that red dress, only Miss Wang has it in the city, it was Wang Dahu who sent someone to Taiyang City and invited the best tailor to make it, in the whole city, just like that."

Then, he continued

"But this time, Lao Liu was a little bolder, he moved a few steps closer, and Miss Wang didn't move, just looked at Lao Liu, "giggled" and kept laughing, that scene, how much more infiltrating people are more infiltrating."

"And then?"

Lao Liu came closer again, but Miss Wang still didn't move, so Lao Liu asked.

"Miss Wang? Why don't you go back in the middle of the night?"

Miss Wang still giggled.

Lao Liu swallowed his saliva, then moved forward and asked again.

"Miss Wang, do you want me to inform the people in the mansion and let them pick you up?"

"In fact, Lao Liu knows that in the middle of the night, everyone is asleep, and even if he knocks on the door, no one may answer the door."

"He moved ten feet, and he can finally see more clearly, Miss Wang's hair is scattered, and the hem of her long red skirt is wet and stained with a lot of water."

"Originally, he was still thinking about whether Miss Wang had sneaked out, but when he looked at Miss Wang's feet again, he scared him half to death!"

"When the wind blew, the skirt floated up, and the skirt was actually empty, and there were no feet!"

"Look at Miss Wang again, I saw that she was still "giggling" and laughing, Lao Liu's courage was so frightened that her legs were weak and she almost peed out!"

"He passed out directly, and when he woke up the next day, he found himself lying on the street, and then he spread all over the street about meeting Miss Wang's ghost."

"This didn't anger Wang Dahu, he was beaten and stopped, but the news spread."

Xu Si'er finished speaking in one breath, licked his tongue, and handed him a cup of tea with a warm hand, and he thanked him repeatedly.

"Then later, has anyone seen Miss Wang's ghost?"

Nuan Wen took the cup handed back by Xu Si'er and asked again.

"One after another, after this thing spread, all over the city, I can hear about Miss Wang's ghost from time to time, but whether it is true or false, we can't judge it."

"Smack!"

Mo Xiao suddenly slapped the table, and his eyes lit up

"Do you think it's because of this that there are fewer people on the streets?"

When Xu Si'er heard this, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice

"You two don't want to ask, why are there so few people on the street?"

"That's right."

Warmth said

"I don't see many people on the street in front of the palace, and besides, the things you have here are so cheap, much cheaper than other state cities."

Speaking of this, Xu Si'er was very helpless

"When you two talk about this, it's also the helplessness of this city."

"The reason why we have such cheap things here is because of a great famine."

"The Great Famine? In the south of the Yangtze River, there was a great famine? ”

Mo Xiao was surprised, he grew up in Daomen since he was a child, and Queensland is not far from Daomen, although he rarely goes, but the Great Famine should not be unheard of.

"That's all the mess left by the previous city lord, when the city lord was there, Queensland was also rich, with bumper harvests year after year, and the people lived a rich life, and it was a good time."

"Then how can there be a great famine?"
