Fifty-four, looking for incense out of the maze
Han Daring thought that Hua Si'er smelled incense again, so he hurriedly covered his nose with his hand, but he heard Hua Si'er say:
"Han Tou'er! You smell it, it's the scent of a woman! ”
Han Da'er almost turned his back on her back at that time, if it weren't for the fact that it was dark and difficult to do, she would have to give Hua Si'er twenty big mouths anyway. His heart is here for a while, and he doesn't want to think about how to get out of trouble, but he has a lustful heart again, Hua Si'er, this kid is really a hungry ghost in the color, the demon king in the flower!
Han Daring turned his head and was about to open his mouth to say a few words, but at this time, there was some faint light behind him. He hurriedly turned his head, only to see a faint white light in the distance!
The white light was like a little glowing light, but the light didn't seem to be fixed in one place, but slowly moving forward.
Han Daring heard from the old timers in the past that the former Qing Snitch had a firefly streamer method, and he had seen this kind of thing painted on the wall with phosphorus chalk when he grabbed the little head of the ghost in Xiaoxiguan before. But that thing can only be fixed in one place.
Later, some storytellers first conveyed it, saying it like a fireball, flying in the air. To use a scientific analogy, this thing is like a ball lightning race.
But in fact, this firefly streamer method is to use phosphorus chalk to draw a pattern on the wall, the phosphorus ignition point is low, and the temperature on the wall changes slightly, it will spontaneously combust, and in the middle of the night, it is pitch black, and there is a pattern of fire on the wall, and from a distance, it seems to be floating in the air.
The fire in front of him is different, the outer circle is glowing white, but the inner circle is a bright orange light. At first, Han Daring thought it was the firefly streamer method, but as soon as the fire moved, Han Daring felt that it was wrong, and guessed that maybe it was a phosphorus fire, which is commonly known as a ghost fire.
As soon as he thought of Ghost Huo'er, Hua Si'er next to him had already blurted out and shouted:
"Ghosts! Ghost fire! …… It's a ghost hitting the wall! ”
Han Daring shouted:
"You're talking nonsense! Ghost fire, that is, phosphorus fire, has nothing to do with ghosts hitting the wall! This thing can often be found near graves. These nine bends are all houses, and there is no place to bury the dead, where is the ghost fire? ”
Hua Si'er said in a trembling voice:
"Han Tou'er, you have forgotten, there were many river ditches and puddles in this area before, and they all said that there were many drowned water ghosts! This ghost fire......"
Han Daring said:
"That's all blind! Something to fool a child! You said you were a water ghost! How can there be fire then! The ghost fire has not been extinguished when he sees the water ghosts! It's all nonsense! ”
Han Daring was calm, this is for ordinary people, who have been trapped in the dark for so long, and when he saw a little fire, he was like a moth race, and he threw himself towards the firelight. He thought about it carefully, and then with a little light, he beckoned to Hua Si'er and motioned to follow and take a look.
Hua Si'er didn't dare at first, but he heard Han Da'er say:
"Then you wait for me here, I'll take a look!"
When Hua Si'er heard that Han Daring was leaving, she panicked even more, thinking to herself, if he followed the firelight, threw himself here, and then turned around and let the ghost of Yin Si take him to the underworld, it would be even more muddy!
Just now, Han Da'er felt that someone had put incense and sweat medicine, but he patronized and dragged Hua Si'er away, and Hua Si'er didn't know what was going on, so he just fled with Han Da'er for a while.
In fact, whether it was incense and sweat medicine, Han Dada'er himself was not sure, and he had not specifically smelled the smell of incense and sweat medicine, but he had just heard the old-timers of the police station describe it. Thinking about it now, I feel that the fragrance seems to be very similar to the smell of fragrant wax in the Hall of the Dead.
He didn't dare to tell Hua Si'er, Hua Si'er was actually not very bold, and if he wanted to talk to him, maybe he would think about it!
At this time, a little fire suddenly appeared in front of him, Hua Si'er was already suspicious, Han Daring said let him wait here, he was even more scared, thinking that it was safer to follow Han Daring, so he reached out and dragged Han Daring's clothes, and followed him step by step towards the firelight.
The two of them followed the firelight to a right-angled alley, and the firelight was a man-high place next to the wall, and moved along the wall towards the distance.
The two of them didn't dare to follow too closely, but followed from a distance, and the light of the fire in the distance, twenty or thirty paces away from them, was hazy and flickering. They were in a narrow alley, following the firelight, their eyes focused on the light.
At this time, Han Da'er suddenly felt a void under his feet, his reflex nerves were sharp and abnormal, and he suddenly felt different, and his heels were busy poking on the ground, turning his body back with his center of gravity, and the whole person jumped back two steps.
Hua Si'er dragged the corner of Han Da'er's clothes in his hand. Han Dada'er suddenly exerted his strength and jumped backwards, Hua Si'er walked behind Han Da'er's side, and the corner of his hand was suddenly taken off by Han Da'er's backward leaping power. He was still walking forward, but when he was brought around like this, his body wanted to fall out diagonally backwards. His elbow slammed into the ground, and he screamed in pain.
Hua Si'er grinned and said:
"Okay! Han Tou'er, what are you doing here! Stepping on poop or what? ”
Han Da'er stood still, seeing that the light of the fire in the distance was still fixed, he stretched out his hand to cover Hua Si'er's mouth, preventing him from speaking, and said in a low voice:
"You reach out and touch the ground!"
Hua Si'er reached out and rubbed her elbow, feeling angry in her heart, thinking, touch? You're afraid of stepping on a poop, so let me touch it with my hand, and touch it with my hand again!
Han Daring saw that by the faint light, seeing Hua Si'er rubbing his arm and not moving his hand, he reached out and touched the ground in front of him, and then said:
"Touch, it's a big hole!"
When Hua Si'er heard this, she also felt strange, and tentatively stretched out her hand to grope on the ground in front of her, and sure enough, a step or two in front of her, she touched a big hole on the ground. Leaned down and stretched out his arm, but he couldn't touch the end, it is estimated that this big pit is not shallow. The two sides of this big pit are close to the two walls of the alley, and it is not easy to see how wide it is in the dark.
Han Daring dragged Hua Si'er back, looking for the original way to go back, and whispered as he walked:
"Just now, we were all attracted by the light of the fire, our eyes were on that light, and it was pitch black all around, and we couldn't notice that there was a huge pit underground! If you fall into it, it will be pitch black, and no matter how good your efforts are, it will not be easy to climb out! ”
Hua Si'er also pinched a cold sweat, and said in her heart, I used to come to this alley, although it was easy to get lost, but I had never seen a big pit in that area! Could it be that it is a big pit dug in the alley to be repaired and dug?
Han Da'er said at this time:
"It's too bad! This alley is definitely a monster, taking advantage of people's fear of darkness in their hearts, with a little firelight, people's attention is focused on the front, this alley is narrow, the visual vision is limited, it is easy to be led by the firelight, fall into the pit dug in advance! ”
Hua Si'er also began to feel at this time that this was not a ghost hitting the wall at all, but an evil trick made by someone! It is possible to set up some traps and ambushes, but who can have this kind of ability to artificially create a "ghost hitting the wall" in the alley?
Han Daring felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, but he really couldn't find a way out, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Hua Si'er beside him say again:
"Han Tou'er! Do you smell it? ”
Han Daring didn't smell any peculiar smell, so he asked casually:
"Do you smell it?"
Hua Si'er said:
"There's a woman!"
Han Daring said:
"You're not playing!"
Hua Si'er said:
"Han Tou'er! I didn't interrupt! There must be brothels around here! ”
Han Da'er was stunned at the time, but he heard Hua Si'er say:
"Han Tou'er! You come with me! I have a way to get out! ”
Han Daring was suspicious, followed Hua Si'er and groped forward, asking Hua Si'er what was going on as she walked, and Hua Si'er only then revealed her "stunt" and Han Daring'er!
Hua Si'er's family was also a scholarly family in his early years, and his ancestors also served as Beijing officials in his early years, but with the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the great changes in the world after the Republic of China, the sun and moon in the family are not as good as day by day.
Hua Si'er also studied seriously when he was a child, and in the early years, the family set a family affair for him, and later when he came to the marriageable year, Hua Si'er's family came to the door to propose, and the woman thought that his family was in the middle of the road and wanted to withdraw from the marriage. But the two families have long been together, and it is not so easy for the woman's family to withdraw from the marriage.
In addition, Hua Si'er's daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, since she was a child, and Hua Si'er was a childhood sweetheart, and the two of them have no guesses, and the two have long promised each other. So the woman's family could only reluctantly agree to the wedding day.
Who knew that ten days before the wedding, the woman's family promised the girl to a rich businessman in the south. The rich merchant had been married for a few years, and when he saw that the girl was beautiful, he gave the woman a large dowry and married the girl as a stepfamily.
In the old society, women had no status, paid attention to the orders of their parents, and no matter how the girls cried and resisted, they were finally brought back to the south by rich businessmen. By the time Hua Si'er knew, the daylily was cold. Hua Si'er's family sued the yamen, and in the end, the woman's family only lost some dowry money, and the matter was brought down. Hua Si'er's parents were even sick and impermanent in a few years.
Later, after several inquiries, Hua Si'er learned that his fiancée, after marrying a wealthy businessman, was depressed all day long, washed her face with tears, and died without a sudden illness. Hua Si'er's parents died, and his fiancée was forced to be added to others, and finally returned to the West, and he couldn't afford to get sick.
It was all taken care of by the neighbors at the door, and only then did he pick up a life from the ghost gate. But after he recovered from his illness, he began to change his temperament, became lustful and greedy, and spent his days fooling around on the street.
Hua Si'er, this kid is white and clean, and he looks like a deputy. And I've read books, and I'm a bit of a writer, which is very favored by some women. Not only did he sleep with prostitutes, but he also loved to sleep with married women, who not only slept with him, but also often stuffed money to support the little white face.
Later, I always mixed up on the street, and I met Nose Boy, and the two often partnered to pit people on the street, slandering people, and became a veritable Wuli Youzi, a stinky dog!
After Hua Si'er recovered from a serious illness, he got a strange ability, and his sense of smell became very strange, how can I say that it is strange? Because he doesn't have a keen sense of smell and can distinguish smells, but can smell the "femininity" that others can't smell!
The femininity I'm talking about is not the daughter fragrance or woman fragrance mentioned in the book, but Hua Si'er can rely on the smell to find those unserious girls! It doesn't matter if you're a prostitute or a slut, once you find a prospective child, you'll be able to try!
Within a radius of half a mile, as long as it is a girl who is found by him looking for smell, no matter how serious the appearance is, he can make him think about hooking up!
This smell is not smelled by ordinary people, or no one but him can smell it. To use the current science, after Hua Si'er is seriously ill, maybe he can smell such a thing as "pheromones", and he can also distinguish the human temperament from it, you say it's not strange!
Hua Si'er took Han Da'er at this time, groping around left and right in the alley, and the two of them spared in the alley for a long time, and they really walked to the mouth of the alley. The street lights on the street outside the alley were bright, and the two of them stayed in the dark for a long time, and they were all flowers in front of them, and they slowed down their eyes a little, and then they saw that they were already standing on the road behind the alley of Jiudaobend.
Hua Si'er pointed to the mouth of the alley, a small courtyard with a closed gate and said:
"The smell I smell is coming from here, this must be a secret prostitute!"
Han Da'er was a little incredulous, glared at Hua Si'er and said:
"I really can't see that you kid still has this ability?"
Hua Si'er said:
"Hey! There is no other use, this is the first time, serious things come in handy! ”
Although Han Dada'er was amazed at Hua Si'er's ability, he felt that it was not necessarily a good thing to have this kind of ability, just using this ability to seduce the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law, maybe one day, because of this ability, people would have to take his life!
At this time, Han Daring turned around and looked at this alley again, the alley in front of him was dark and dead, as if it was caged in a haze, he knew that there must be people here, if it was not removed, it would become a disaster.
Although it is likely that the Nose is trapped in it, and the longer he stays, the more dangerous it becomes, but now in the dead of night, it is not possible to escape from the alley by himself, let alone save people. I can only go back first, wait for the light of day, and then bring someone to raid this place.
When the time comes, you can first visit the secret prostitute at the mouth of the alley, and maybe you can find any clues. So let Hua Si'er go home first, and talk about it early tomorrow morning. Needless to say, Hua Si'er went home.
Let's say that Han Dada'er went home and told his uncle Zhu Tianfei about his encounter in Jiudaowan'er. Zhu Tianyue was eager to try, and he had to go to explore the nine bends at night, but Han Daring's parents said that they were alive and dead, so they stopped him!
The second elder was afraid that he would sneak out in the middle of the night, even if he was a master of art and bold, but the situation was unknown, for fear that something would happen to him, so he asked Han Daring to live in the same room with him and watch him, so he went back to sleep in the house with confidence.
Early the next morning, Zhu Tianfei wanted to go with Han Daring to break through nine more bends, but Han Daring was worried that there was no one to take care of him at home, and if someone came to the door with a mask, it would be troublesome. So he repeatedly instructed Zhu Tianfei to be at home, saying that the masked man was very likely to come to the door to seek revenge in the past two days, so let him cheer up.
Although Zhu Tianfei is a character who can't stay still, but after fighting that night, he also knows that this masked man is powerful, so he doesn't dare to be careless, saying that if he can't check the nine bends during the day, he will let Han Daring take care of the house at night and replace him to break in! Han Dada'er perfunctorily agreed first, but he made up his mind in his heart that today he must break through the Nine Bends Ecstasy Array, rescue Lunbi'er and the other missing people, and catch the culprit.
Han Daring rode back to the Investigation Bureau to mobilize manpower, and just arrived at the gate of the main hall, but saw that the person standing at the door was waiting for him.
This person is thin, with shoulder-length hair, picturesque eyebrows, a pretty face, no smile, but there seems to be frost, it is Mei Ruohong!
When Mei Ruohong saw Han Daring coming, she walked slowly towards him, her steps were light, as if she was carrying a breeze, and stood still in front of him. Before Han Daring could speak, Mei Ruohong took out something from his coat pocket, held it in his palm, and handed it to Han Dada'er.
Han Da'er saw that this thing was very peculiar, but it was not the ebony square box handed over to her in the hospital that day!
