The snow was quiet, the charcoal basin in the house was still steaming, and the flowers had a dream, and the fog in the dream was so thick that they couldn't see anything clearly. She was vaguely walking slowly on the front street of Baifu. Kicking something, she lowered her head and saw a corpse. Panic surged up from the dantian, and she leaned against the wall and gasped. Suddenly, the fog lifted, and there were layers of people on the ground, blood flowing outward along the cracks of the stone path. She covered her mouth, unable to believe that this was true, and looked forward, a person with a different head, only a head there. She is very familiar with that head, it is the flying slave that "Sister Flowers, Sister Flowers" calls her all day long.

Hua'er's forehead was full of sweat, she wanted to wake up from the dream, but the boundless dream pulled her, she still couldn't break free, someone patted her: "Hua'er! Flower! She finally sat up and looked blankly at Ah Yu.

"Flowers, what about them?" Ah Yu woke up from his sleep and woke up to find that everyone was gone.

"They... The cicada sends rice soup to the third brother... Fei Nu Ge said..."

Ahh Baby!

The two of them closed their voices at the same time, and Ah Yu asked, "Did you hear that?" ”

"It seems to be a cicada."

Hua'er stood up abruptly after distinguishing: "Not good! Not good! Little third brother! ”

The flowers wrapped the jacket at hand and walked out, the jacket is a laminated paper fur made of bark, the catkins floating in the sky in the spring, the grandmother took the Polo to collect, stuffed into the paper fur, barely cold in winter. The paper fur of the flower was scratched one day, and she sewed it herself, but because it was too tattered, it was oozing at this time. Bow your head and stuff it back and pinch it with your fingers. There is a crack on the back of the hand, and I can't care about that much.

"Where are you going?" Grandma asked her when she heard the commotion.

"I'll take a look." Hua'er said: "Listening to Aunt Wang, I'll go see what's wrong." Grandma, don't go out, it's snowing right now, it's cold outside, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. ”

Hua'er and Ah Yu went out and walked along Wicker Alley to the outside. In the early years, Wicker Lane was not called Wicker Lane, but Baihua Lane. In the past, it was probably because of feng shui, and the people in this street and alley had many women, and the women were all watery, like flowers. With a stroke of the pen, it is called Baihua Lane. In a few years, most of the women in Baihua Lane got married, and the newborn children died and lost as if they had been cursed by something. From then on, this Baihua Lane is like the one that has been smoked, old-fashioned, and in a state of checkmate. Therefore, Baihua Lane was privately changed to Wicker Lane.

It was freezing cold, and the snow was covered with soft mud that had not been frozen hard, and when I stepped down, my shoes sank in, and I pulled it hard, only the foot wrapped in rags pulled out. The flower shuddered, bent down and pulled out her shoes and put them on. Walk cautiously against the ground with broken bricks under the corner.

The two of them were getting closer and closer to the voice, and the cry was so miserable in the night. Hua'er glanced back at Ah Yu and said, "Brother Ah Yu, I'll go in first later." ”

Aunt Wang had hysteria because of the loss of her child before, and her clothes were not covered and her speech was confused. At this moment, Aunt Wang's cloak was crying, and the paper fur was drooping on her body, like a wandering soul in the unknown sky, and she lost her heart.

Aunt Wang is crazy.

lost two children in a row, and everyone would be crazy. Some people asked them to report to the official, while others shook their heads: What kind of official? Does reporting work? Wicker Lane is cursed!

"Say no more!" Hua'er whispered, "What if not!" ”

She entered the door first and found that the cicada was not there, and Aunt Wang was holding a piece of wood and crying: "What about the baby, where is the baby?" After a while, he smiled again: "Here it is!" Here it is! ”

Hua'er was sad for a while, stepped forward to put on clothes for her and hurriedly ran outside, and said to Ah Yu who was waiting: "Brother Ah Yu, go find the cicada!" Also, I don't know if the person who stole the child went far! ”

"I know!" Ah Yu turned his head and ran. He has great strength and quick movements, and just a few steps after running a few steps, he meets the cicada and the night that are coming. The cicada grabbed his collar and asked him, "Brother Yu, what's wrong?" ”

"Your little third brother is lost!"

The cicada's eyes were dark, and he was held by the night. It took a while to open his eyes, and he ran home, following her behind him in the night. When Aunt Wang saw the cicada entering the door, she was stunned for a moment, her consciousness seemed to be clear, and she suddenly pounced on her and hit her: "Where have you been!" Where have you been! The cicada let Aunt Wang pounce and sobbed. Hua'er went to hug Aunt Wang and cried: "Auntie, blame me, blame me!" It's me who was stupid, I have to eat and drink tonight, and the cicada is drunk with me. You blame me. ”

The cicada stepped forward and wanted to speak, but the flowers slapped her hand and didn't allow her to say. She said that Aunt Wang would hate her for the rest of her life, and she would blame her for why she was not at home, and she would be held accountable where she went. In the future, as long as Aunt Wang is conscious, it will be even more painful.

The three of them hugged each other and cried, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Ye called: "Aunt Wang." ”

Aunt Wang's eyes were blank, her throat was purring, and she couldn't say a word. I had an emergency.

"What should I do?" The cicada was so anxious that she stomped on the ground, and she blamed herself in her heart, blaming herself for the loss of the third brother. Crying breathlessly, she looked at Aunt Wang, who was speechless, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong with you?! ”

"I'll go ask Lang Zhong." After finishing speaking, he ran out of the door, and when he ran to the entrance of the alley, he saw the flying slave coming back. His sleeves were stained with blood, and he stood out on the bright snowy night. Zhaoye was stunned and asked him, "Where have you been?" ”

"Hey, I went to a dock guy at night to change things and fell down." Fei Nu opened his sleeves to show Zhao Ye, the flesh and blood were blurry, and Zhao Ye couldn't see clearly, because he was in a hurry to invite Lang Zhong to urge him to go to the cicada's house, and then continued to run.

After Lang Zhong arrived, he prescribed prescriptions to grab medicine, and the sky was dawn after this trouble.

The night before, they held their glasses and said so many happy things, as if they had all the pleasures of this world, and when the day came, the happiness was gone, and there was no aftertaste of laughter. Several people sat cross-legged in the corner of the cicada's house, not knowing what to say for a while. The flower took the cicada's cold hand, and the cicada wept silently, refusing to look at the night again.

When Ah Yu came back, the newly haired jacket of Baifu on his body was torn, and he opened his jacket at night and saw his bloody chest. Ah Yu said with red eyes, "I ran all the way out, thinking that they would definitely leave the city. Sure enough, outside the city, I vaguely saw two people, one holding a knife, and the other holding something in his arms. I went up and fought them, and if it was just two people, I could have beaten them. But then out of nowhere, several people stopped me, and I saw the man take the child away. Later, they knocked me unconscious, I don't know why, I didn't die..."Ah Yu knelt down in front of Aunt Wang's bed with a plop: "I can't help you, I'm useless."

The cicada stepped forward to pull him, crying and saying, "Brother Yu, I don't blame you. I'll look at your wounds. ”

He had several cuts on his chest from a short knife, and he was still bleeding. Several people had the feeling of ten thousand arrows piercing their hearts, and it hurt a little more to look at the blurred flesh and blood.

At this time, the eagle came to spread the word and asked Hua'er to go to Baifu. The six gods of the flowers went with him, and at the gate of the White Mansion, he saw a small square coffin, and there was a cat lying in it, the wild cat. It was dismembered, and the death was hideous. Hua'er endured her fear and said to the eagle: "Baifu can have a coffin even if the wild cat is gone, and if I die, I'm afraid I will be wrapped in that straw mat and thrown into the mass grave!" ”

"Why don't you ask how the cat died?" Bai Qiling suddenly appeared behind her at some point and asked her like this.

His gaze stabbed her flesh with a knife and a stab, and Hua'er felt cold for no reason. She looked at the wild cat again, and felt sad in her heart, and she had touched the cat twice, but had not scratched her.

"Obviously, the body was dismembered." Hua'er trembled and said, "It's terrible, brute! ”

"Compared to the people who stole your Wicker Alley kids? Is it more brute? ”

Hua'er knew that Bai Qiling was staring at her, this was common at first glance, and then she pondered that the straight sect was creepy. If someone was staring at her, they would naturally know that Fei Nu left last night, if Fei Nu really killed the cat, then Bai Qiling was talking to her at this moment. Hua'er bit her lip and looked at Bai Qiling, she felt that her heart was about to come out of the hole, and the dream last night suddenly drilled into her mind. One of his feet was unsteady, and the man fell forward and fell into the white mansion. Motionless.

The eagle looked forward and said to Bai Qiling: "I fainted." It's not pretended. ”

Bai Qiling glanced back at the cat again, saying that it was a wild cat, but it was in the deep mountains and old forests that saved his life. At that time, he was being chased and killed in Huoling Mountain, and when he was desperate, he looked at the cat, and it stood there looking at him, as if to say, "Follow me." Bai Qiling was desperate, gave his life to a cat, and finally found a way to live. This cat, he raised and trained it every day, asked it to be free, and asked the old housekeeper to use it to help sniff people, but in the end it was killed.

When Hua'er woke up, she realized that she was lying on the cold ground, and Bai Qiling was sitting there looking at her, as if she had been waiting for her to wake up.

"I ask you, do you see the cat's death?" Bai Qiling asked her.

The flowers snorted and looked at Bai Qiling with tears in their eyes.

"I can't hear clearly, tell me out loud, do you see clearly?" Bai Qiling suddenly raised his voice, and the voice almost broke Hua'er's heart.

"Look... Clear... Finish. Flowers said. She can't act, and Bai Qiling at this moment seems to be about to swallow her life alive. No amount of drama can escape what he is about to go crazy.

"You say, what if I chop the man who killed the cat into as many pieces as he did?"

Hua'er took a breath and said for a long time: "If in the second master's heart, human life is not worth a cat, then it should be really happy." If Bai Erye fears the gods of human life, then it is absolutely impossible. ”

"Coincidentally, I'm not in awe of anything. It died last night, and I want that person to pay for his life tonight! ”

"Second master! Second Master Bai! Hua'er crawled in front of him, her face covered with tears, and her voice was blocked and dumb: "Second master... Listen to me..."She wanted to intercede on behalf of the Flying Slave, but she didn't know if the Flying Slave had done it. But when the flying slave came back, there was blood on his sleeves, all blood!

"Second master..."Hua'er sobbed: "Yesterday you rewarded the slave with something, and the slave was so happy, he dragged people to cut meat and wine, and ate the most delicious meal in his life." When the minion was drunk, he thought that tomorrow would be a small year, and the minion was going to have a serious young year..."

Hua'er pulled her torn paper fur, and tears fell on her sleeves: "Second master, look, the clothes you rewarded are reluctant to wear, and they still wear their own torn clothes." The slave wants to wait for the next year to go to Liangqing to wear it, and do a good job of the second master's face..."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"The slave wants to tell the second master, the cat slave has also touched it, and likes it, no matter who kills it, the second master will leave that person's life! Today is a small year, and in a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, how many people are looking forward to this day this year, even if they only drink a bowl of rice soup, they feel that the coming year is worth looking forward to..."

"You're like this, didn't someone you know kill it?"
