Chapter Seventy-Three: The Uninvited Guest
Xiu Yuan walked into his mother's room, and before he entered the door, he heard his mother humming a little song, the song was melodious and tactful, the door was hidden, Xiu Yuan saw his mother sitting in front of the dresser through the crack in the door, holding powder on his face, and his mother in the bronze mirror had been smiling, Xiu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, his mother was knowledgeable, and everyone before and after was polite and restrained, and Xiu Yuan had never seen his mother like this.
"Mother, I'm Xiu Yuan, can I come in?" Xiu Yuan lightly buckled the door panel.
Wang turned around and replied, "Come in." ”
Xiu Yuan pushed the door in, and she was the only one in the room, "Why isn't my father here?"
Wang still applied grease powder to the mirror, "Your uncle Fang recently investigated the case, and your father went to the government with him, and he was very curious about the murder." ”
Xiu Yuan nodded, and there was that strange fragrance in his mother's room.
"Did you use any spices?" Xiu Yuan stood behind Wang, Wang turned his head and looked at his son in surprise, "No, why do you ask this? I can't smell the fragrance, and you don't know." ”
Xiu Yuan was even more surprised, couldn't Mother and Mo Chou smell this?
"Why are you here, is there something wrong with me?" Wang stood up, Xiu Yuan noticed that she had changed her clothes again, this time in a more bright color, and she also deliberately dressed up, compared to the image of her mother on weekdays, it was almost like two people.
"I want to see what my mother has chosen in the embroidery workshop?"
As soon as she said this, Wang seemed to be interested, and she smiled, "You kid, how beautiful the long gown Boss Xue brought is, you don't want it, but now it depends on the clothes I chose." Although she said this, Wang was still very happy to show her clothes, she took out those robes, shook them in the air and stuck them on herself, and asked Xiu Yuan with a smile, "Is it good-looking?"
The moment he shook his clothes, the fragrance was strong, Xiu Yuan couldn't help frowning, this faint fragrance made him a little uncomfortable, but the strange thing was that they couldn't smell it.
Xiu Yuan nodded, "It's beautiful, but I remember that my mother didn't like such bright colors before." ”
Wang carefully put away his clothes, "I really like these colors now, I wear them, and I make people younger." ”
Looking at his mother's appearance, Xiu Yuan didn't know what to say, he picked up a piece of clothing casually, the silky texture, embroidered with a bewitching white bird, embroidered lifelike, as if about to spread its wings and fly out of the clothes.
It's just that the white bird embroidered a pair of blood-red eyes, and Xiu Yuan was close but couldn't see the clues, and finally had to leave his mother's room.
On an autumn night, the night breeze blowing was already very cool, and when I thought of Yun Yun's last meaningful smile, Xiu Yuan felt a chill in his back, and the whole family was shrouded in an indescribable strange atmosphere.
Buji and Luo Yan entered the embroidery building through the back door, and there was no one in the embroidery building, not even the female workers who were doing the work, some were just beautiful lights and diffuse fragrance.
"What kind of smell?" Luo Yan covered his nose in disgust.
"It's a kind of ecstasy incense," said unswervingly and calmly, "ordinary people can't smell it, but this fragrance can influence people's will when it enters the body." ”
"Will we be swayed?"
"This looks at the cultivation," Bu Shi walked in front of him, and the two of them went upstairs, this embroidery building that didn't look big on the outside actually had a long corridor and many closed doors.
"Why are there so many rooms?" Luo Yan also felt strange, all the doors were the same, and the golden and bright red door panels were neatly arranged on the corridor, "What are you going to explore?"
"I want to see the owner of this embroidery workshop. Smelling the smell of blood coming from a room next to her, she pushed the door open, only to find it locked.
Luo Yan tacitly walked over and gently tapped the latch on the door, and the door opened, nodding to him, and the two of them walked in.
As soon as he came in, the bloody breath that came to his face, and he and Luo Yan covered their noses at the same time.
The room was empty, only a container like a vat, and the two of them couldn't help but be stunned when they looked closer, a bloody snake-like thing swimming in the vat, and the vaat was full of red liquid like blood nourishing this thing.
Unswerved felt a pang of nausea, this thing had no skin, only flesh exposed, and kept swimming in the tank.
"It's disgusting," Luo Yan didn't look over, "what the hell is this?"
Next to the jar was a screen-like thing hung a long gown embroidered with an unfinished pattern on which a long snakeskin floated.
As she walked over to see the strange thing, she felt a chill in her back, the snakeskin dangling in front of her eyes, and the skinless thing in the tank was still swimming.
"This pattern was embroidered with snake skin. Luo Yan also noticed this, he touched the clothes, "It feels good." ”
The clothes of this texture were the same as the purple-gray and white dragon robes seen in the cultivation room, and they were shocked.
Xue Yunyun got down from the Li family's sedan chair, she turned around and thanked the coachman politely, and was just about to enter the embroidery workshop, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There was an uninvited guest, Yun Yun frowned, and walked in quickly.
Luo Yan also felt a strong demonic aura, and he patted it unswervingly, "Someone is back." ”
Yun Yun walked into the embroidery building, she looked around, there seemed to be other smells in the air, she had felt it sensitively, she touched her hair bun and still walked upstairs, the footsteps clearly echoed in the pavilion, went to the second floor, all the doors were still neatly closed, she looked at it with her eyes open, and a weird smile rose on the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that my small embroidery workshop has also come to the big people, uninvited guests, welcome here. Her voice was heard in the quiet pavilion.
Bu Shi and Luo Yan hid in one of the rooms, and the two of them looked out through the crack in the door, although they couldn't see Yun Yan's face, but the bright color of her whole body was dazzling enough.
"This woman is really arrogant," Luo Yan whispered on her head, "I have used something that hides the smell, and she can still sense our presence, and it seems that she is not shallow." ”
Trying to look through the crack in the door, she wanted to see Xue Yunrong's face, because she wanted to identify who this woman really was.
Yun Yun clapped her hands, and suddenly wisps of colorful things flew from all directions, and various colored monsters like smoke flew out of the room to Yun Yun's side and surrounded her.
Bu Shi and Luo Yan turned their heads, and the things swimming in the tank also popped up, with their eyes closed and their mouths open, looking very disgusting.
"I feel like I'm going to throw up," Luo Yan shook his head and pointed to the thing in the jar and said to Moji.
"She's going to summon these things out. The hands that he clenched were sweating, "As soon as this thing goes out, we will be exposed." ”
"Then don't let him out," the eager youkai rushed out of the vat and flew towards Wuji and Luo Yan with its mouth wide open.
Unswerving and Luo Yan cast spells at the same time, forming a barrier in the air, instantly blocking the attack of this bloody monster.
And these monsters who don't know what they are poured out one after another, surrounded by Yun Yun in a circle, Yun Yun looked at these things as if he was counting, "Oh, Xiao Si hasn't come out yet, it seems that our guests are in his room." ”
Yun Yun smiled bewitchingly, and her laughter was very high-pitched, and she walked towards their room step by step.
The Li family
A carriage stopped at the door, and a tired Mao Chun got down from it, and a head poked out of the carriage, it was Fang Lin Xian.
"Brother Maochun has worked hard for you today, go back and rest. After saying that, he immediately got back into the car and started to leave.
Mao Chun passed by the main hall and was just about to return to the room, when he heard Xiu Yuan calling himself.
"Father," Xiu Yuan ran up in small steps, and Mao Chun turned around, "You haven't slept yet?"
"I'm waiting for you, where have you been today?" Xiu Yuan helped his father sit down, Mao Chun was covered in dust and his face was tired.
"I investigated the case with your Uncle Fang, and finally found out who the deceased's surname was. ”
"Oh?" Xiu Yuan suddenly became interested, "Who is the deceased?"
"It's a well-known gangster in the town, and he doesn't have any relatives, so no one goes to the government to report his disappearance. ”
"Has there been any progress in the case?" Xiu Yuan saw his father's chapped lips, and thought that he must have been running around all day and didn't bother to drink water, so he poured his father a cup of tea.
Mao Chun shook his head, "Not yet, not only has there been no progress, but today the government also received a report that someone was lost at home." ”
"Someone is missing?" Xiu Yuan was stunned.
Mao Chun nodded, "Yes, within a day, several families reported that they had lost their son and husband, all of whom were young and middle-aged men. ”
I don't know why Xiu Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed in his mind, and his intuition turned out to be related to the embroidery workshop.
"Xiuyuan," looking at his son's thoughtful look, Mao Chun called him.
"What's the matter, father?" Xiu Yuan came back to his senses.
"It's not been peaceful lately, so you'd better not go out. Mao Chun felt creepy when he thought of the dead man's death.
Xiu Yuan nodded, "I know my father." ”
Mao Chun stood up, "I'm going back to sleep after a tired day, I may have to go out early tomorrow morning, so you should rest early." He said and prepared to leave.
Xiu Yuan suddenly remembered something, "Father, have you smelled any fragrance?"
Mao Chun looked back at him strangely, "What fragrance?"
The fragrance of the courtyard can still be smelled, "Has my mother used any spices lately?" ”
Mao Chun frowned, "I didn't smell anything, did she use spices?"
Xiu Yuan suddenly felt like he had been hit by something, that strong bad premonition, Xue Yunrong's eyes, the voice she was whispering in herself, and the meaningful smile she had when she looked at herself at the end, Xiu Yuan felt a chill again.
Will it be cold like this in autumn?Or is it the mysterious owner of the embroidery workshop?Xiu Yuan smiled at his father, "It's okay, it may not be useful, you can go back and rest quickly." ”
Mao Chun nodded and left the main hall, Xiu Yuan stood there alone, he thought, this time he must have met a demon, and now he must go to find him.
