Chapter Forty-Eight: Dream Zhaoyi
Cheng.
Between the two mansion compounds, there is a secluded alley.
This alley has been encroached upon by the courtyard walls on both sides several times, and now it is so narrow that it is difficult to pass, and the vines and flowers that flow down from the wall are like waterfalls and flooded with flowers, and now it is no longer pedestrians.
But that's talking about adults, not children.
Amei led a few friends to get into this alley flower cage with familiarity.
There is a little baby behind him with a broken mouth.
"Something must have happened to the fat man's family!"
"Nonsense. ”
There was a rebuttal immediately next to him.
"He didn't come out as promised today, he must not be allowed at home, locked in the room to study, why did he let you have a crow's mouth here?"
"My crow's mouth?"
The little baby who was refuted couldn't get angry, squatted down and pulled out a dog hole from the corner.
"See for yourselves. ”
Then, several small heads gathered around the entrance of the cave and looked inside.
Inside the wall of this courtyard is a spacious courtyard, with an atmospheric layout and elegant houses, which can be seen at a glance as a luxurious home. But the strange thing is that there are no human figures in the huge courtyard, and no human voices can be heard. After the wind and rain last night, the fallen flowers and leaves all over the ground were also spread all over the ground, and there was no care.
There is only an indescribable dead silence that makes people hold their noses.
"From this morning, there will be no sound in this room, isn't it ......"
The little baby paused.
"Are you making trouble?"
These words seemed to hook the dead silence in the yard out of the dog hole, and the little babies were silent for a while, only the sound of fluttering heartbeats came and went.
"Afraid of what?!"
Ah Mei suddenly spoke, waving the small wooden sword in her hand to cheer up.
"It's just that there are no monsters, if there is a ......," she pulled out a small object from her pocket, but it was a rusty iron knife with a bell attached to the handle, "This is a treasure left by my father, and it is just the right time for the monster to see the methods of this woman!"
The knife "jingled" in his hand, but the friends rolled their eyes in unison.
Ame slowly gritted her teeth.
"Don't believe me?"
Believe you!
Usually playing at home, you just want to be a heroine. We can't beat you, it's not like what you say? But now this yard is strangely tight, and it looks eerie and terrifying, how can you take the bull that you brag about when you play around on weekdays?
Thereupon......
"Believe it! ”
"The eldest sister is so powerful, the eldest sister's father must also be powerful, and the things left behind must be even more powerful!"
"The fat head is our brother, how can we not save my brother if he is in trouble?!"
The boys also wanted to retort loudly, but the other party's fists hurt too much.
Little Amei snorted a few times and lowered her fist.
"I'm taking the lead. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the dog hole.
"Hurry up. ”
As soon as he poked his waist, he drilled neatly, leaving a group of boys staring at each other, and shirked for a while, and didn't decide which one to go on.
It wasn't until Ah Mei ran away that the second "knight" was elected by his companions, but he was the skinniest of the boys.
He staggered and lay at the entrance of the cave before he reached into half of his head.
Then.
Suddenly there was a lot of movement and speech in the courtyard.
The dead silence of Fang Cai was swept away, and the entire mansion came to life in an instant.
Followed by.
Male servants and maidservants poured out from all over the courtyard, or sprinkled the courtyard, or took care of the house, as if they had changed back to the normal appearance of the backyard of a wealthy family.
In the midst of the busyness, there was an old man in short clothes who was walking slowly into the courtyard, and the servant was dressed but had nothing to do.
He seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head and grinned at the dog hole at the base of the wall.
The boys outside the dog cave clamped their legs and scattered.
............
Sunset and sunset.
There was another strange combination in front of Flower Alley.
A leper beggar leads a young catcher, a sword-clad ranger, and a short-haired Taoist.
The beggar pointed to the mansion in front of him and nodded: "Three masters, this is it." ”
The three "masters" in his mouth are naturally Li Changan, Bo Ziyu and Zhang Yi.
In the afternoon, the Taoist priest saw the three ladies, and as soon as he got out of the Tanuki Building, he was blocked by the beggar, saying that he was sent by the beggar to bring a news that was suspected to be a monster.
Li Changan simply called Zhang Yi and Bo Ziyu, let the beggar lead the way, and arrived at the mansion together.
Bo Ziyu, as the head snake of the land, is clear everywhere in the city.
"The owner's surname is Jin, but it is one of the most luxurious families in the city...... If there really are youkai. He shook his head, "Trouble!"
Then he turned his head and asked the beggar.
"The yamen didn't listen to the movement, how can you find out what is going on in this house?"
"Swill. ”
"Swill?"
The beggar scratched his reddened scalp.
"So that the three masters know that this Jin family has a big house, many servants, and a lot of swill poured out every day. Some of our brothers who can't afford to eat depend on his family's swill to survive. ”
But in the past two or three days, his family's swill has been decreasing day by day, and yesterday, there was no at all. ”
"That's it?" Bo Ziyu frowned.
The beggar didn't speak, according to the agreement between the head of the group and Zhang Erlang, they were only responsible for providing information, and as for whether it was true or not, they had to let the Taoist priests check it themselves.
Li Changan understood this, took a few copper coins and sent the beggar away, then pressed his sword and stepped forward to knock on the door.
There are demons and no demons, you can find out when you find out.
............
Boom.
Boom.
Crunch~
When the door was not fastened, the door opened, and an old man in short clothes came out.
Li Changan waved his hands and saluted:
"Poor ......"
Before he finished speaking, the old man was already looking at the short hair on the Taoist priest's head: "You are Li Xuanxiao!"
The Taoist priest was stunned: "My husband knows me?"
Without waiting for an answer, he saw the old man's eyes widen, and he suddenly ran into the courtyard.
While running, he also shouted: "Master, master, hit the evil spirit, hit the evil spirit, then Daoist Li is coming to our door!"
Bo Ziyu's face twitched, and Li Changan was inexplicable.
"Poof~"
But it was the ranger Zhang Yi who sneered, and when he saw the two of them looking over, he quickly sorted out his eyebrows and returned to his usual cold and hard expression.
Leng Mei explained coldly:
"The two of them are busy catching demons, maybe they don't know. Just because where they appear, there are demons at work. In the street rumors, the two have become soul-seducing messengers, who can be used to cure children's crying. ”
Li Changan: ......
......
"Daochang Li, Bo Bantou, forgive me, my old servant is old and faint, and he has taken the rumors and rumors in the market as true. ”
Jin Yuanwai repeatedly sued for crimes.
After the old man shouted and ran into the courtyard, it didn't take long for the golden clerk to hurry out.
After the Taoist priest and others expressed their indifference, he wanted to ask the three of them to stay for a banquet in order to apologize, and the Taoist priest and others naturally agreed.
The dishes have five flavors, and the wine has passed three rounds.
This Jin member is talkative and his posture is also low, which makes Bo Ziyu very useful, and before he knows it, he is dizzy and dizzy, and the yellow soup is stuffed with his belly.
He confessed his guilt, came out to relieve himself, and after putting out the water, he found Li Chang'an standing motionless outside the kitchen.
"What is the Taoist doing here?"
He laughed and leaned in, but saw the Taoist priest looking at a fire-burning maid in front of the stove.
"This girl hasn't grown yet. He teased with a wine gap, "How about the Dao?"
Li Changan didn't bother to pay attention to him, drew his sword and cut some fresh branches in the yard, entered the kitchen, and after arriving at the stove, he replaced the dry firewood in the maid's hand with the branches.
Seeing this, Bo Ziyu muttered: "You Taoist priest is so good at playing tricks......
Before the words were finished, I saw the maid pick up the branches and make dry wood and stuff them into the stove, pound them with a burning stick a few times, and stuff the branches into them one after another, ignoring the fact that the stove fire gradually went out.
Bo Ziyu was stunned: "Isn't he a blind man?"
Li Changan still didn't say a word, only took a bowl and scooped up some stove ashes.
On the desk next to him, a cook was mixing noodles, and the Taoist priest replaced the flour next to him with the ashes, but the cook directly grabbed the ashes and kneaded them into the dough.
No matter how nervous you are, it's time to see that something is wrong.
Bo Ziyu's strength suddenly woke up for most of the time, and he finally remembered what he was here for, and a layer of white sweat appeared on the back of his neck unconsciously.
"These people ......," he said with a slight ache in his throat, "what's wrong?"
"They're dreaming. ”
"Dreaming?"
Bo Ziyu was even more puzzled.
The Taoist priest nodded:
"Half-asleep. ”
