180. Come one by one (big chapter asks for votes)
As night fell, another day was over.
Mo Xiao sat in front of the window and stared blankly at the crescent moon, and suddenly some scenes in Yicui Building in the past flashed through his mind.
At that time, she was bright and moving.
At that time, she was beautiful and beautiful.
At that time, she was a peach and a plum.
At that time, she was the top girl in Yicuilou, with beautiful days, eating and drinking spicy food, wearing gold and silver, with one leg, and money flowing in like water.
Mo Xiaoshi doesn't like such days, she is different from the vulgar women in the building who open their mouths to say 'grass you' and shut up and shout 'grass me', she was born in a scholarly family, and her ancestors have been lifting people for three generations.
Originally, her fate should have been to meet a scholar with a hearty smile on a drizzly and hazy day, and then marry him on a sunny day, add fragrance to his red sleeves, and accompany him to read a wide range of books.
Unfortunately, everything changed in one afternoon, the Xiao family fell into prison, and a group of their brothers and sisters lived on the streets.
The life on the street is not easy, even more sad than when she enters Yicui Building, but she is a person who has had a good life, so although she wore gold and silver after entering Yicui Building, she was not satisfied, what she wanted was red sleeves and fragrance to read at night.
So when she became the top brand in the building, she took the initiative to meet the scholars who came to the building to take the exam, and generously funded them to go to Beijing to catch the exam, hoping that when they became famous, they would be able to give themselves a name.
She doesn't ask for a room, she just wants to add fragrance to her husband's red sleeves.
It's a pity that there are a lot of students who come to Yicui Building to take the exam, not many can go to high school, and there is no one who still remembers her in high school.
Later, she figured out that the stories of the wind and dust girl and the talented man in the opera are all fake, maybe there are some good men in the world who are affectionate and righteous, but how can those people come to the Qinglou to have fun?
And in order to move the scholars, she also deliberately selected some poor scholars to sponsor.
These people thanked her on the ground with a thousand kindness and affection, and tenderness on the bed, but when they turned their heads, they abandoned her.
How affectionate the scholar is!
Thinking about it, what kind of thing are the scholars who are poor and still nostalgic for the Qinglou? Calling them 'splashy' makes the splashes on the streets and alleys unhappy, and they feel insulted to themselves.
In short, after experiencing several emotional wounds, Mo Xiaoshi was suddenly horrified to find that she was not young, and two poems that she had read with her father when she was a child appeared in front of her:
The younger brother went to join the army and the aunt died, and the twilight went to the past. In front of the door, Kurama is snubbed, and the boss is married to a businesswoman!
Mo Xiao woke up suddenly!
As the old saying goes, prostitutes don't change their money.
Once a woman has made up her mind, she is much more ruthless than a man.
Mo Xiao chose the best one from the licking dogs she raised, that is, Mo Jiahao from Tongfu Inn, and then quickly married him.
The reason why Mo Jiahao was chosen was not only because the Mo family was rich, but also because he only had one original wife, unlike other dogs, who still had a number of female dogs at home.
Mo Jiahao is not a scholar, and Mo Xiaoshi can't add fragrance to his red sleeves, so she married for other purposes.
She wants to find a safe guarantee for the rest of her life.
All the roadblocks that stand in the way of her goal must be removed!
"Knock knock! knock knock! knock knock!"
A sudden knock on the door interrupted her reminiscences, and Mo Xiaoshi picked up the fire candle and asked vigilantly, "Who?"
"Boss, it's me, Xiao Er, Wang Xiao Er. β
Mo Xiaoshi twisted his hips and shook his hips to open the door, and a simple round face appeared in front of her: "Xiao Er, have you inquired about what I asked you to inquire about?"
Wang Xiaoer wiped his sweat and said, "I inquired, there are indeed many dead people in the room in the backyard." β
"How did they all die?" Mo Xiaoshi hurriedly asked, a thumping sound sounded downstairs, and when she heard this voice, she hurriedly said, "You come in and talk." β
She took a step back uneasily to get out of the way, Wang Xiaoer followed her footsteps and wanted to go inside, but he looked up and looked inside with a frightened look on his round face, and turned around and ran away without saying a word!
'Pedal pedal', the figure disappeared into the corridor.
Suddenly, Mo Xiao Shi failed to react, she was stunned, and then she felt chills: There is something behind her!
Scared Wang Xiaoer, the two stunned, didn't even dare to say a word, and turned around and ran away!
She understands Wang Xiaoer's temperament, this young man has something almost in his head, honest and reckless, what can scare such a young man into making a sound and only caring about running for his life?
Mo Xiao's body stiffened.
The night breeze blew in through the window, rattling the books on the coffee table beside the bed, blowing the curtain at the head of the bed, and blowing something behind her.
Something fluttering swept across the back of her neck, wet like strips of water-soaked muslin, and likeβaquatic weeds?
Mo Xiao didn't look back, she gritted her teeth and held back her urine, and walked out of the door with a fire candle.
At night, the corridor is dark and quiet.
This is somewhat unusual.
Tongfu Inn is a large hotel, and lanterns are hung in the corridor at sunset on weekdays to illuminate it.
However, there were occasionally some low-character guests who would extinguish the fire in the lantern, so she was not afraid to go out and see the darkness at first.
After all, this is where she has lived for more than twenty years.
She has also stepped on this staircase for more than 20 years, and each step is very skillful, so she is not afraid of stepping into the air, she walks down quickly.
She lived on the fourth floor, and she only had to walk up three flights of stairs to enter the lobby, but when she turned three times, she was stunned to find that what appeared in front of her was still a staircase, or it was still dark.
The lobby did not appear.
The light did not appear either.
Only the candle in her hand shone dimly yellow.
The back of the neck was swept by something again.
She bit her lip and continued to walk down.
The more she walked, the more panicked she became, and the colder her body became.
The lobby still didn't appear, she seemed to be locked in a labyrinth of corridors, dark, silent, deserted.
She walked slowly down the stairs, and by the candlelight she counted the staircases she passedβ
A staircase, third floor.
Two staircases, second floor.
Three staircases, the lobby entrance did not appear!
Ghost hits the wall!
The staircase was familiar, but the light was too dim at this time, and she looked at the outline of the staircase and felt that she saw a monster open its black mouth.
She had to face the monster's open mouth, and at the top of the stairs there was a plaque engraved with the number of floors, and she mustered up the courage to look at it, and said to herself, "I want to know what floor this is!"
Before she could see the words on the nameplate, a mouth suddenly touched the back of her ear and said coldly: "This is the fourth layer, the Eight Cold Hell!"
This thing suddenly appeared behind her, and the voice suddenly sounded behind her ears, Mo Xiao's tense heartstrings suddenly broke, and she turned around and let out a miserable scream with all her might: "Ah!! spare your life!"
"Spare your life, your lordship!" Shopkeeper Mo yelled at Wang Qilin, "Lord Wang, those corpses are really not harmed by villains, how can villains have the guts?"
Wang Qilin sat across from him and sneered: "Either tell me some news about those corpses, or tell me some news about Master Zhang, in short, you have to give me some news tonight, otherwise you are going to sleep in prison tonight." β
"For the sake of our friendship for many years, this official reminds you," Dou Dachun came up and smiled slightly, "The small prison of the yamen has been haunted twice in the past ten days!"
Shopkeeper Mo was so frightened that he was trembling with fat all over his body, and he said with a sad face: "Adults, the villain really has nothing to explain. I don't know anything about the bodies, but the house was sealed after my wife's death and never opened. β
"Master Zhang's side also has nothing to explain, he enters the house every day when he comes back from the yamen and does not appear again, and does not let people enter his house, oh, Lord Li Ying Li went in the other night, and no one has ever entered his house, nor has he dealt with him!"
Hearing this, Wang Qilin sat up straight and asked, "Has Li Ying gone to find Zhang Ruhui? Why didn't you tell such important news before? When did he go to find it?"
Shopkeeper Mo said: "It was the night before Master Li was imprisoned, and it was also the night when Master Zhang first came, when Lord Zhang went to his mansion for a banquet and came back at midnight. Not long after, Master Li came after him again, and I led him into Master Zhang's room. β
"What about the back?"
"Not long after, as soon as I went downstairs to the lobby and sat down, Master Li came out, and I guess he said two words to Master Zhang in the room at most. β
"Did Master Li behave abnormally after he came out?"
Shopkeeper Mo racked his brains to think, and shook his head after thinking about it.
At this time, there was a shout outside the yamen: "My lord, the shopkeeper, my lord, the shopkeeper's ......."
"Who is making a noise!" Yang shouted.
It was Wang Xiaoer from the inn who rushed in, and he hurriedly shouted: "Listen to the Lord of the Heavenly Prison, the Lord of the Yamen, and the Shopkeeper Mo, our inn is haunted! The proprietress is crazy, you go and see, she is desperate to die!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly collapsed, and his legs fell to the ground weakly: "How can this be?"
Wang Qilin picked up the demon knife and walked out quickly: "Follow me, talk on the way." Lord Dou and Lord Yang, you two bring Shopkeeper Mo over behind. β
Wang Xiaoer told him the ins and outs of the matter on the road, it was very simple, at this time it was the time for dinner at the beginning of the lanterns, and the inn was busy with work, and suddenly heard a scream on the fourth floor:
"It's the boss's scream, I hear it clearly, she screams very scary!"
Then our fellow and some of the guests hurried up, and saw her leaning against the door of the room screaming desperately, and when she saw me coming up, she stopped screaming, smiled at us and went back into the house. β
"We breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was okay, some people were leaving, but fortunately I had an extra heart, and followed into the house to have a look, and then saw her push open the window and want to jump out of the window!"
"I pulled her back, and then she stepped on a stool to tie a knot on the roof beam to hang herself!"
"I saved her again, and she sprinkled fire oil on her body to burn herself!"
"Big brother of this family, look at it, this is not a haunting, but what is a trouble? She is possessed by a ghost, and this ghost wants to make her a substitute ghost!, right?"
Wang Qilin did not answer.
This Tongfu Inn has been in chaos, there are many people crowded in the lobby, and there are especially many people around the counter, all shouting to check out:
"Your inn is haunted, I don't live here!"
"Give me back the money, grandma, your hostess's screams are scared to death." β
"How do you call it? Can you show one or two? I heard that this proprietress used to be the top brand of Yicui Building, and she was a must. β
Wang Qilin entered the house and said sharply: "Messy, what are you doing?"
Seeing him dressed clearly, the noisy lobby suddenly fell silent.
"Xiao Er maintains order, goes back to his own house, and is not allowed to come out without listening to the orders of the heavenly supervisor!"
Hearing this, some guests said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, this inn is haunted, who knows our house ......?"
"Those who violate the order are regarded as accomplices of demons and evil, and they should be beheaded!"
The words fell to the ground, and the guests who wanted to complain quickly shut up, and some of the timid ones who had already packed up their things and ran back to the room.
Wang Qilin walked up to the fourth floor quickly, and Wang Xiaoer said to him: "Our shopkeeper's two wives, the main wife Mo Jiang lives in the backyard, and then he marries the current boss lady and lets her live on the top floor, so that the two wives are far away and see each other less." β
"Is the relationship between the two of them not good?" Wang Qilin's heart moved.
Wang Xiaoer said: "It is said to be very good, but the shopkeeper's wife is from the Jiang family in the county, from a big family, virtuous and capable, helped him turn the shop from a small hotel to a big inn, and accompanied him to live a lot of hard lives, and then the shopkeeper married a concubine when he was developed, anyway, she must be uncomfortable." β
"But our current proprietress is also very good, she is also a good helper to our shopkeeper, especially a good account. I haven't seen Mo Jiang's, and the old man in the inn said that the current proprietress is as good and powerful as her. β
Wang Qilin asked, "I want to know something about your boss's wife, who is the oldest in the inn, or who has the most dealings with her, bring him to me." β
Wang Xiaoer shook his head: "No, our inn guys can't work for long, the shopkeeper Mo is very good, we have been working for a long time, he will give us some money to support us to do a small business." β
Hearing this, Wang Qilin felt that something was wrong.
But he didn't have time to think about it, and went directly to the fourth floor into the room.
At this time, Xu Da had already arrived and was sitting on a chair drinking tea.
Mo Xiao sat in another chair next to her, looking bad, covered in water, with a disheveled hair and a burnt sleeve.
The two looked at each other, and Xu Dadao: "The seventh master is here?" Hehe, this matter is interesting today." β
Wang Qilin glanced at the room and said, "What's the point?"
Xu Dadao: "The people in the room below are all unjustly killed, and they have become unjustly killed, do you remember the yin wind that blew out during the day? There was something wrong with that yin wind, and they escaped by this wind." β
Wang Qilin asked, "Are they pestering the boss?"
"See for yourself. β
Xu Da got up and walked out, and the depressed boss lady raised her head violently to reach out to grab him: "My lord, don't go!"
"It's okay, you can't die. β
Xu Da shook off her hand and walked out of the room, pulled Wang Qilin out by the way, and said in a low voice: "See for yourself." β
After a while, the window of the room creaked open, and a ghost floated in, and the proprietress slumped into her chair, tears streaming down, and she opened her mouth to scream, but she didn't make a sound.
People are so frightened that they can't cry out.
The geist ignored the few people at the door, and it circled around the proprietress and then possessed it.
The proprietress stood up in a daze, and she turned her head to look at the door, tears streaming down her eyes like beads of broken thread.
She was conscious, but she couldn't control her body.
The geist controlled the proprietress to go to the window and climbed up, and then a geist slowly rose from outside the window and crashed into her at once.
The proprietress who looked like she was going to jump off the building was knocked back to the ground, and the geist attached to her was knocked out and got up and floated away.
The spirit that had hit the proprietress before came up to her body, and the proprietress stood up stiffly, she slowly looked up at the roof, went to the closet to find a ribbon, stood on the chair and tied a knot, and hung herself up.
Another geist appeared behind her and unbuttoned the ribbon, and instead of the hanged geist took over the body of the proprietress of the proprietress and pulled open her sleeves and poured some oil on her arm, and lit it with a fire breaker, and suddenly, the flames burned!
The proprietress raised her arms and looked at the flames, a smirk on her face.
A geist crawled in from the window again, attached to the body of the proprietress and walked to the bathroom step by step.
Wang Qilin followed to take a look, and the proprietress plunged her arms and upper body into a bath bucket full of water......
At this time, Dou Dachun arrived with Shopkeeper Mo, Shopkeeper Mo panted and climbed the stairs into the door, and when he saw his daughter-in-law stuffing half of her body in the bathtub, he was stunned: "What is this for?"
Xu Dadao: "Your daughter-in-law is a ghost, and the ghost wants her to experience how she died." β
"Xiaoxiao!"
After listening to most of Xu's words, Shopkeeper Mo screamed and pounced on his daughter-in-law and pulled her daughter-in-law out of the bucket.
The couple is deeply affectionate.
He is a mortal man, and he cannot see this wandering spirit.
When Xu Daneng saw it, he reminded him: "The ghost on your daughter-in-law's body is watching you, and it wants to get on your body." β
Shopkeeper Mo screamed again, pushed his daughter-in-law away, staggered back a few steps.
Fuck the couple!
Wang Qilin stepped forward and drew his demon knife and waved it twice, and the wandering ghost was so frightened that he immediately fled.
Dou Dachun asked in fear: "Did the Seventh Master kill that ghost?"
Xu Da shook his head: "No." β
Dou Dachun and Yang Dazui were so frightened that they immediately took two steps back.
Xu Da said disdainfully: "Don't be afraid, it's just a little wild ghost, they are not terrible, that is, the shopkeeper Mo is old and usually addicted to wine and has been hollowed out of the yang energy in his body, otherwise he can knock out the ghost with a pounce just now." β
Wang Qilin nodded and said, "That's right, so Lord Xu was sitting next to the proprietress just now, these wandering ghosts and wild ghosts didn't dare to come to make trouble, and his yang energy could suppress these ghosts." β
Hearing this, Dou Dachun and the two glanced at each other, and suddenly got together.
Men add men, two men have two parts of yang.
Wang Xiaoer, who was behind a few people, was stunned and said, "No, isn't Lord Xu also addicted to wine?"
Xu Da glared: "Do you mean that the uncle is addicted to wine?"
Wang Xiaoer said: "There are girls in the inn every day, and I often mention you from them." β
Dou Dachun and Yang Dazui looked at him in surprise: "Master Xu, you haven't been in the county for a long time, and this fame is so big?"
Xu Da said casually: "Uncle, that's not indulging in wine, it's to release excess yang! β
The panicked shopkeeper Mo shouted, "Can the adults save the villain's daughter-in-law first?
Wang Qilin said: "Yes, how did she become like this?
Shopkeeper Mo blinked blankly, and the expression on his fat face looked indeed innocent.
Wang Qilin said: "In this way, I will sort things out for you, maybe you will have ideas." β
"After your partner died, her room was haunted, and you sealed it off. The house was closed for more than ten years, and when it was opened again today, there were 14 corpses in different forms, some hanged, some burned, some fell to death, and some were wrapped around aquatic plants as if they were drowned. β
"In the evening, the inn, which had been peaceful, began to be haunted, not by one ghost, but by a group of ghosts. These ghosts don't haunt anyone in your inn, they all come to you, the second wife. β
"When these demons haunt your wife, they don't kill her, but they get on her one by one and make her go through all kinds of death tortures. β
"Shopkeeper Mo, come and tell me, you still don't know anything?!"
