Chapter 55: Overnight in the White Mansion

The sound of 'squeak' fell in Han Fengge's ears at this time, which was particularly harsh and gloomy.

Han Fengge hurriedly turned around to look at the gate behind him, only to see that the gate was only open a gap that was just enough to reveal a head, and it turned out that the crack could really only reveal one head.

Out of the crack in the door came a steamed bun with white hair and a messy beard, a wrinkled face like a knife, two cloudy eyes, and a worn-out lantern in his hand.

The old man only stuck his head and lantern out of the door, shone a dim light at Han Fengge, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter with you?"

Han Fengge was asked by the old man's stiff tone and didn't know what to say for a while, and was stunned for a while before he arched his hand to the old man's head and said: "Old gentleman, the next four people are merchants who have traveled far away, and they missed the lodging and caught up with this heavy rain because they were greedy for a while, so they want to spend a night in Guibao Land, and I hope that the old man will have a convenient trip." ”

The old man struggled to squeeze half of his body out of the door, held the lantern high in front of Han Fengge and stared at his young face for a while, and then turned his eyes to look at the ox cart parked outside the door, and it happened that Sang Sang opened the curtain to reveal his little face at this time. Seeing that the person who came was a young and kind young man and an innocent and lovely little girl, the old man's face squeezed out a smile with difficulty and said: "Young man, you wait a minute, the old man will report to the master." After saying that, the door slammed shut again, without a hint of effort.

Han Fengge stood outside the door and waited patiently, not once slandered the old man, after all, it was a secluded mountain and a rainy night, how could the master's family not have a heart of defense.

After about a quarter of an hour's wait, there was the sound of staggering footsteps inside the gate, and the gate was opened again. In the dim light of the door, there was a rickety figure holding a lantern, which was the old man who had opened the door earlier and asked questions.

The old man's voice was a little hoarse and said, "My lord is kind-hearted, and promised you to stay here for one night, and the ox cart can be tethered outside, so you can come with me." ”

Han Fengge thanked the old man and went back outside, tied the ox cart to the tethered horse stone outside the gate, lifted the curtain of the carriage and beckoned Qin Qing to help Yun Fei on his back, and walked back to the gate with Yun Fei on his back.

When the old man saw Han Fengge carrying an unconscious person from the ox cart, who was obviously seriously injured, his face changed and he wanted to regret it.

Sang Sang hurriedly said: "Uncle, you just let us stay for one night, my brother was injured by the bandits on the road, and we finally escaped the search of the bandits and came here, you don't let us stay, doesn't this push us to the tiger's mouth?"

The old man looked at the little girl's pitiful eyes and softened in his heart, "Okay, you can stay here, but you have to drive the ox cart to the backyard." ”

The yard is very large, and facing the gate is the main house where the master lives, because it is dark and it is not clear to see the specifics, but a light is shining in the study, casting a shadow on the window, and there is a coughing sound from time to time. The east and west rows of wings are very spacious, and there are rain-sheltering corridors in front of the wings, and on the side of the gate is the south wings where the old man lives.

The old man looked at the shadow on the window and said respectfully, "Master, they are the guests who knocked on the door and passed by earlier. ”

A gentle voice came from the window: "Several distinguished guests, the old man is riddled with serious illnesses and is inconvenient to go out, please forgive me." ”

Han Fengge arched his hand to the shadow on the window and said, "Thank you, Mr. for taking it in." ”

The figure on the window said: "If you have any needs, you can inform Bai Fu." Bai Fu, arrange a few distinguished guests to rest in the East Wing. ”

Bai Fu bowed and said, "Yes, master." Then he turned to look at Han Fengge: "Come with me." ”

The old man Bai Fu took them to the outside of a room in the east wing, pushed open the door and said, "This room and the next room are all cleaned up, if you want to live separately, you can also live in the next room." There is a lamp on the table, you can tell me if you need anything. But don't run around at night, only my lord, young lady and me live in this house. My lord likes to be quiet, and the embroidery building in the back yard is my lady's boudoir, so don't walk around if you don't have anything. ”

Han Fengge nodded and thanked the old man, and gave the old man some silver taels to buy him some food and hot water.

The old man said to Han Fengge: "I will send you the food when it is ready, young man, come with me, and by the way, pull your ox cart down into the livestock shed behind." ”

Han Fengge followed the old man to pull the ox cart, leaving Qin Qing and Sang Sang to clean up the house that no one had lived in for a long time.

When Han Fengge returned to the house, Qin Qing and Sang Sang had already cleaned up the two rooms and placed Yunfei on the bed.

The house has not been inhabited for many years, and there is a strong smell of decay, which adds a lot of gloomy atmosphere to this house, which makes Han Fengge frown.

Qin Qing saw Han Fengge frowning and said with relief: "It's good to have a place to live when you're away from home." ”

Han Fengge nodded and said, "Senior Sister, go back to your room = go and take a rest, I'll take care of Senior Brother Yun, and I'll call you when the meal is ready." ”

Qin Qingyao refused to go to live in the next room, since she said the words hidden in her heart when she was in danger on Funiu Mountain, and Yun Fei also acquiesced in this feeling, in her heart, she already regarded herself as Yun Fei's wife and a member of the Yun family, and at this time she should live in the same room with her husband and take care of him who was injured. Although his relationship with Yun Fei was not approved by his master, Yun Fei's aunt Yun Yao Fairy, and it was inconsistent with secular rituals, the cultivators on the mountain were originally different from ordinary people, and they did not attach too much importance to these secular rituals.

Seeing that Qin Qing refused to leave, Han Fengge was also very helpless and said, "Senior Sister Qin has worked hard for so long. With that, he closed the door and walked to the next room.

Since Senior Sister Qin insisted on living in a room with her senior brother, she had no choice but to live in a room with Sangsang, fortunately, Sangsang was young, and she had always regarded her as her sister, otherwise she would never dare to share a room with other women even if she went back to sleep on the ox cart for one night, after all, that Tantai girl sometimes had a bad temper.

After another half an hour, Han Fengge was about to fall asleep, only to see the old man bring them food.

The old man told them again not to run around.

After the old man left, Han Fengge said to Qin Qing: "Senior sister, this house is full of evil spirits, although the old man can hide it, I can still feel that he has spiritual power, and his cultivation is not low, and he almost has the appearance of the Dragon Gate Realm." Let's be careful at night, maybe something strange will happen in this house at night. ”

Qin Qing nodded: "Well, I also noticed it, and the old man repeatedly told us not to approach the embroidery building in the backyard, I used my divine sense to investigate before, but I found that someone used a mysterious formation to cover up the inside story, I think there must be something strange there." ”

Han Fengge said: "That's it, when the night god is over, I'll quietly go and investigate, Senior Sister is here to take care of Senior Brother Yun and Sang Sang." Although it is inconvenient for us to find out the secrets of others now, we have to take more precautions at this time. ”

The little girl Sang Sang slept quietly on the bed, and Han Fengge sat cross-legged on the chair with his eyes closed, hoping to recover the spiritual power consumed in the Little Lotus Secret Realm as soon as possible. Since Han Fengge woke up from a coma this time, he found that the meridians in his body had become more and more stable and tough, and he had become more and more handy at absorbing the qi of the thunder spirit. Han Fengge thought about it for a long time, and attributed all of this to the guy who occupied his body in the secret realm.

The rain at night became heavier and heavier, and although it was already late spring, it was rare for such a heavy rain to fall. This cold rain added a bit of gloomy and cold atmosphere to the already gloomy and decaying house. Han Fengge did not forget to pay attention to the movements in the courtyard when he was practicing.

The rain was unusually heavy, and it had been raining for so long, and it still didn't want to stop. In the dead of night, the sound of rain hitting the slate is even more conducive to sleep. Just as Han Fengge was about to get up and go to take a closer look at the mansion, there was a soft and slow knock on the door at the gate outside the courtyard. Although the sound was not loud, it was clearly sent to the ears of everyone in the courtyard on such a night.

Sang Sang, who had been sleeping deeply, was also woken up by this knock on the door, Han Fengge, who had been paying attention to the movement in the courtyard, made a silent gesture to Sang Sang, and gently walked to the window to look at the gate outside the courtyard.

The rickety old man, who was still wrinkled with a wrinkled face, held an oil-paper umbrella and carried a lantern, and respectfully asked the window in the main room that was still lit: "Master, someone is here again." ”

The figure who was projected by the light on the window coughed a few times and said: "It's not easy to travel in such weather, Bai Fu, you go and take a look, if it's not a villain, let him in." ”

The old man Bai Fu's already rickety waist bent down again, probably too much effort, so he just moved a little and responded: "Yes, master." ”

Bai Fu, the old man who was hunched up, moved slowly, letting the rain soak his shoes and trouser legs without realizing it.

Bai Fu asked through the door, "Who?"

A woman's voice outside the door said slowly: "The little woman went up the mountain to play, because of the fog in the mountain and lost her way, and it rained heavily, if you want to spend a night in your house, please make it convenient for the old gentleman." ”

The voice was cold and faint, and to Han Fengge's ears, it seemed to be even more chilling than this night rain.

The elderly Bai Fu didn't care about the coldness in the voice of the woman outside the door, and opened the gate to let her into the courtyard.

Han Fengge looked at the woman at the gate of the courtyard through the window. The woman was dressed in a white dress, holding an embroidered umbrella with very elaborate workmanship, and her long hair and shawl looked very good, but her face was pale and bloodless.

The woman came in and gently greeted the figure in the window of the room: "Thank you, sir, for taking in the little girl." ”

The figure in the window did not respond. Bai Fu led the woman through the verandah to the West Wing, and Han Fengge said to her in their room, "This young lady will live in this West Wing for the time being." The east wing on the opposite side is also occupied by guests passing by tonight, and if the young lady has any needs to inform me, I will stay in the south wing room. ”

The woman nodded and said quietly, "Thank you, old man." Bai Fu didn't say anything more, and turned back to his cabin from the verandah.

The woman in white gently pushed open the door of the room but didn't walk in immediately, but secretly turned her head to look at Han Fengge who was standing behind the window in the opposite room, then lowered her head and covered her lips with her pale little hand as if she was shy, smiled lightly, and then stretched out her pink tongue and quietly licked the corners of her mouth.

Han Fengge stood silently in front of the window, and when he came to the window, Sang Sang, who was completely sleepy, looked at the woman and pouted, "Sao fox." ”
