136 Mother-in-law
By the time Luo Yaoyuan got up from the chaise congue again, the sun was already setting in the west, and the slave who had just been with him had gone through the clouds and rain for several times was gone.
Luo Yuanyuan took a vain step, went down to wash his face, opened the door and walked out.
Because there is no light, the orientation of this building is not good, and the whole building has a bit of a meaning of "reaching out and not seeing five fingers".
Luo Yuanyuan stepped on the wooden stairs one by one, listening to the creaking sound of the stairs, as if stepping on a scrawny old man, and the old man's painful moans would sound with every step.
Luo Yao thought of the rosewood furniture he saw during the day, the delicate incense burner in the corner, and the flawless makeup of the girls...... It's hard to imagine that this sounding staircase is actually part of this drunken little building.
Luo Yuanyuan hummed a little song and walked down in a hurry, not slowing down at all because of his blurred vision in the dark, because this rhythmic "squeak" sound was not a guide? ……
"Ahh - "Luo Yuanyuan, who had just comforted himself in his heart and walked to the stairs on the second floor, suddenly collided with the shoulders of the comer!
The man was much smaller than him, but he was so thin that he felt as if he had hit a skeleton that had been in the ground for a while.
Because the flesh is rotten, all the skin and flesh are peeled off, and only a pair of white bones remain; But because it has not been in the soil for a long time, the bones are still stiff, and there is still an echo when it hits.
It was because of this creepy feeling rising from the bottom of his heart that he stepped on the air and fell directly to the empty floor on the second floor.
"You, who are you, you don't have long eyes when you walk! -" Luo Yuanyuan shouted inwardly to the black shadow still standing on the stairs.
"Oh...... I'm really sorry......" In the dark shadows, an elderly female voice apologized unhurriedly, like a nightmare person muttering unconsciously.
Empty, remote, and without a soul.
"Squeak-squeak-" The sound of the stairs being trampled on sounded rhythmically, as if the man was about to come down and pick him up.
Luo Yuanyuan was shocked, and kept supporting his body with his hands and moving back.
His teeth chattered, but he couldn't say spinelessly, "Don't come here!" ......" such frightened words.
Just as he was in a dilemma, someone suddenly patted Luo Yuan from behind-
"Don't, don't ......" Luo Yaoyuan was sweating profusely, and kept waving his arms in the void, trying to drink back all the people and things that tried to get close to him, and not let any ...... Even if the air was close to him.
"Young Master Luo, what's wrong with you?" A slave held a night pearl that Luo Yuanyuan gave her not long ago, which was used as a candle for lighting, and wiped Luo Yuanyuan's cold sweat with a handkerchief.
Xu is because he saw the big living person, Luo Yuanyuan grabbed her upper arm and let her block in front of him, "Yu, Yunu, you see what is ahead, yes, yes...... It's a human and a ghost! ”
It took a lot of effort for Luo Yuanyuan to finally finish the whole sentence.
"It's okay Young Master Luo, she's just our mother-in-law who sprinkles and sweeps here."
Luo Yao leaned out, and in the light of the night pearl, he saw an old woman with a blank face and no expression.
The old woman's face looked like the bark of a tree that had lived for decades had been stripped off and thrown into stagnant water for half a month; The eyelids drooped, and the small eyeballs that were exposed were almost not whites, but because of their age, the black eyeballs were covered with a layer of white shadows, which was even more terrifying.
At this time, she still intervened and slowly went downstairs step by step, still reciting words in her mouth: "This young master, it's me who is not good, I will help you up......"
"No need! - Luo Yuanyuan pulled Yu Nu to stand up and hurriedly ran downstairs.
It wasn't until he walked out of the door on the first floor that Luo Yuanyuan put his hands on his knees and gasped: "That old woman, what's going on?" ”
"Alas," Yu Nu sighed, "Originally, this mother-in-law could work carefully, but then her son was disabled, and she became so crazy......
"Can't you just give her a pen's money and quit her? How scary is it to stay in your unlit building at night?! ”
Yu Nu gently patted Luo Yuanyuan's back, as if to comfort a child who was awakened by a nightmare: "Where can I bear it!" But Young Master Luo is not annoyed, this mother-in-law is normal during the day; She usually doesn't show up at night, maybe because today is the day of her son's accident......"
Luo Yuanyuan slapped her hand away, tired of her flattery, as if he was a bad seed! ——
He didn't say anything more, turned and walked away. After walking a few dozen steps, he looked back at the dark window on the second floor, perhaps because of the moonlight, the window became more and more like the godless eyes of the woman.
He shook off the goosebumps all over his body and hurried to leave.
In the next few days, Luo Yuanyuan at the gambling table was still invincible, but there were fewer and fewer people willing to gamble with him, resulting in his odds getting smaller and smaller.
Luo Yuanyuan's eyes were about to roll up to the sky, what was the point of not getting everything in an instant, not losing everything in an instant? He might as well go visit the kiln! ——
But inexplicably remembering the old woman last time, she was full of discomfort.
Luo Yuanyuan pulled his hair irritably, took a piece of white flower gambling money, and sent people to run errands to buy him a good daughter Honglai.
Then I watched the sun on the horizon gradually slanting westward, thinking that I should not see the old woman again, so I called a sedan chair and kept pouring wine on the sedan chair, hoping that "the wine will make people courageous".
The distance was not so close that he fell asleep in the sedan chair, and someone gently tapped him on the shoulder, and he knew where he was.
After he got out of the sedan chair, he looked at the building that was no different from the one that had left him in the desert a few days ago, took a deep breath, and went in with his wine.
The sedan chair man was still wondering for a while, look at Young Master Luo's appearance, did he break into the Longtan Tiger's Den? ……
Luo Yuanyuan easily stepped on the second floor of what he regarded as the "Longtan Tiger's Den", and the dark fragrance floated along the way, and the light of the jewelry seemed to be faintly pointing the way, and Luo Yuanyuan's heart immediately became uneasy.
He poured a mouthful of yellow soup, hummed a little tune in a joyful mood, and even jumped up the steps step by step, laughing like a child every time he heard the sound of the steps as if they were overwhelmed.
He felt that his head was very dizzy, and he couldn't take a step, so in order to seek the balance of his body, he subconsciously put his hand on the armrest on the side.
Suddenly, Luo Yuanyuan's hand bounced up as if it had been burned by fire, his eyes widened suddenly, and Hu Gongzi's advice sounded in his ears:
"Just listen to me! It doesn't matter during the day, but at night you can meet a girl and ask her to help you up, or you can touch the railing under the handrail, but you can't touch the handrail! This is a matter of your life! ——”
