Chapter 54: Overnight Stay II
first deliberately created the illusion of a chance encounter with her in the village, and then teased her explicitly, and later even used her hands and feet in a no-man's land, but she resisted so hard that this person did not succeed.
But this person is still a thief, relying on her family to owe him money, using this as a threat to her to repay the money in advance. In the end, it was her father-in-law's eldest brother who sold his house to help her pay off the debt.
The eldest brother, who had no house to go, had no choice but to live in her house. The first two years were okay, the eldest brother not only helped her take care of her mother-in-law, but also helped her do some work, and the family was barely able to survive, and she began to have a good impression of the eldest brother over time.
However, since some time ago, when his eldest brother came back with a pale face, everything has changed. The hard-working and cheerful eldest brother in the past began to become more and more gloomy day by day, and even the work he did in the past was all abandoned.
As soon as the eldest brother came back, he locked himself in his room and never went out again. Even the meals on weekdays were personally delivered by her to her eldest brother's door.
The firewood in the stove was burning brightly, and it was crackling.
There was a knock on the door.
The girl braved the heavy rain to open the door, only to see three people standing outside the door.
The first person is tall and has a handsome face, which makes people feel good at first sight. But the two people behind him are all big shoulders and round waists, and their faces are full of flesh, which makes people feel full of gangsterism at first glance, not like good people.
When the girl saw this, she was so shocked that she was about to close the door.
But he was stopped by the first person waving his hand, "This master's family, in the city below, these two people are my subordinates, although they look a little fierce, but they are all good people." The three of us were on our way at night and it was raining, so I wonder if we can spend the night at the host's house?"
These three people are Wencheng and Qian Ming, as well as a subordinate found by Qian Ming, named Yu Shuzhen.
"I have a small family, and it's inconvenient to stay overnight, so you better go." The girl refused, and was about to close the door.
Wen Cheng pressed his hand lightly on the door, and immediately stopped the door. "Master's house, it's raining, and we have no place to go, so please let the master's house go well, so that we can spend the night. We're all good people, so we just stay overnight and leave as soon as dawn comes. Do you think this will work, we can pay, we can pay, right?" After speaking, he quickly took out a silver ingot, ten taels, from his arms.
The girl looked at the ingots in Wencheng's spread palm, and swallowed a few times secretly, she has grown so big, she has never seen so much silver. After a moment, he hesitated and asked, "Are you really good people?"
"Naturally. ”
Receiving an affirmative answer, the girl hesitated. After thinking about it, his family is already poor and white, and since others are willing to come out with so much money, they will not covet the things in their own home. And if these people are bad people, I'm afraid they will break in directly as soon as they open the door, and they will definitely not be able to stop them anyway. The girl gave herself a reason to comfort herself in her heart, and happily took the silver from Wencheng's hand.
"Then come in. ”
The three of Wencheng happily entered the door, and the dark night could not stop a master of internal strength like Wencheng, and his vision at night was almost like day. As soon as I entered the city, I found that the house was really dilapidated, full of dead branches and leaves, and in some places there was even a ruined scene, which did not look like a place where people lived at all.
This girl lives here, and she doesn't say that she is diligent, and she will clean and repair this yard well.
The girl took the three of Wencheng to the lobby and settled, "Oh, by the way, it's Xianggong's eldest brother who lives over there, he's been a little weird lately, don't get close there." Also, my mother-in-law lives in the back hall, she has been sick in bed for a long time and needs to rest and rest, so don't disturb her. Let's rest here for a while, and I'll go and raise a brazier for them. ”
Wencheng nodded in understanding.
The girl turned and went out, and soon came in with a brazier, and ran to bring in some firewood.
As the firelight shone, Poor Ming and Yu Shuzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, greedily enjoying the warmth brought by the firelight. As the two of them approached the house, goosebumps crawled from their heels all over their bodies, and a chill rushed from their tail vertebrae to the top of their heads. If it weren't for Wencheng's insistence on taking shelter from the rain here, the two would definitely rather brave the rain than enter the gate of this strange house.
Wen Cheng's face was completely unchanged, and he lifted the place where his clothes were soaked by the rain and roasted it nearby.
Qian Ming couldn't hold it back, and quietly approached Wencheng, "Brother Cheng, do you feel that something is wrong?"
Wen Cheng glanced sideways at him, "Something is wrong there?"
Poor Ming immediately approached Wencheng and whispered in his ear: "Didn't that person say that there are still two people living here? Her eldest brother is far away, that's it, this mother-in-law lives in the back, why doesn't she even have a sound? A sick person won't even cough twice, right?"
"Maybe they're asleep. Wencheng said casually, raising his eyes to see the girl who had gone and returned.
Poor Ming followed Wencheng's line of sight and saw the girl walking over, so he had to close his mouth stupidly.
"A few guests are rested, just rest by yourself, there are empty rooms here, you can stay as you like. The girl lost the timidity outside the gate, and in the face of Wencheng and the others, she also resumed normal conversation.
"Thank you to the host's family for taking it in. Poor Ming and Yu Shuzhen were silent, and only Wencheng responded.
Knock knock.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Maybe it was because of the relationship between Wencheng and the others, the girl was a little bolder, and ran out briskly to open the door.
Soon, the girl came in with a group of people.
The first person is a young and beautiful woman, with a melon seed face, slender eyebrows, clear eyes, and a silk gauze dress that reveals the air of dust, which makes people forget the vulgar. There is one person on the left and right, one on the left is dressed as a housekeeper, presumably a female servant, and on the right is a young man, holding a folding fan and dressed up as a rich child, and is very attentive to women, and its purpose is self-evident.
Behind the woman are two rows of six powerful people dressed in different costumes and holding sharp blades.
As soon as the woman entered the door, she was slightly stunned when she saw Wencheng and the others, "It turns out that someone is really staying overnight." ”
The girl came in from behind and spread her hands towards the woman, "Quick, give money." The three of them gave ten taels of silver, and you have one, two, three, four, five...... nine, thirty taels. ”
The woman saw that the two of them were tall and big, and their faces were full of arrogance, and she was still a little afraid and hesitant. But when he heard that the girl said that the three of them also gave money, plus the six guards he had brought with him, he relaxed and motioned to the housekeeper to give the girl silver.
The girl got the silver, and after telling Wencheng and the others, she told the woman and her party again, and then left alone, leaving Wencheng and the woman here.
Poor Ming moved to Wencheng's side and sat down, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Cheng, that woman is carrying a sharp weapon. ”
Wen Cheng followed the poor Ming's line of sight, and saw that the woman had a hand that never left her waist and abdomen, and she could see a long hard object inside the clothes through the clothes, most of which were daggers.
"When a weak woman goes out, even if she is guarded by a housekeeper, it is normal for her to be on guard. ”
Poor Ming listened, nodded and said no more, but his eyes did not leave the group of people.
The butler looked like a loyal protector and followed the woman every step of the way. The rich boy looked arrogant, glanced at Wencheng, sneered secretly, and quickly took his attention away from here, as if a slow step would dirty his eyes. No matter what he looks at, he is full of a condescending posture, and only when he looks at the woman will his eyes be full of admiration, and he will be a little low.
Wencheng fiddled with the firewood in the brazier, bowed his head and did not say anything, nor did he mean to talk to this pedestrian.
After a quarter of an hour's effort, the woman looked at the group of people in Wencheng without the slightest difference, and began to be bold, and walked towards Wencheng and sat down. "The little girl's surname is Ding, her name is zero, I don't know who the son's surname is, where is the person, where is the fight?"
Wen Cheng glanced up at the woman, her makeup was exquisite, the bridge of her nose was high, and her small mouth was extremely red and seductive, but he kept silent as if he hadn't heard the woman's question.
But Yu Shuzhen, who was behind him, suddenly spoke, "Girl......."
Wen Cheng made a sudden move and stopped Yu Shuzhen's words, "It's all a hurried passerby, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, why do you need to know your name." It was not too early, and we were almost drying our clothes. After a day of running, I was a little tired, so I said goodbye. After speaking, he didn't pull him and Poor Ming because Shuzhen refused, and went out to leave.
The three of them found a room at random, cleaned up briefly, and lay down with their clothes.
The sound of the rain outside the window became quieter and quieter, until it finally stopped, and a ray of moonlight actually shone through the broken hole in the window on Wencheng's eyes.
Suddenly, Wen Cheng opened his eyes.
Stretched out his hand and touched the side, but he didn't touch any of them in Qian Ming and Yu Shuzhen.
"Poor Ming?
Turned over and sat up, only Wencheng was alone in the whole room, and the two of them didn't know where they went. Pressed his hand lightly on the bed, his hand was cold, and it seemed that the two of them had long since left without knowing when.
Carrying a long knife, he was ready to go out to find the two men. As soon as he opened the door, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Wen Cheng, startling him, and when he saw it clearly, he realized that it was the rich boy who followed the woman to be courteous.
When this person saw Wencheng, his face was overjoyed, and he arched his hand and said: "This brother Tai is in Xia Kui Rong Zhanhou." There's something weird here, and when I woke up just now, I found that all the people around me were gone. ”
This surname is rare.
Wen Cheng was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The people around me are also gone, has Brother Kui found anything?"
Hearing this, Kui Rong Zhanhou said with a calm expression: "It seems that this place is really abnormal, otherwise so many people would not have disappeared at once." Brother, our top priority now is to find the others. After speaking, he turned around and left, and Wencheng also walked up to follow.
The two of them searched one room after another, each room was in tatters, all the tables and chairs and benches had fallen to the floor, the beds had rotted into black hollows, and cobwebs were clumped everywhere, as if they could live there, but as if no one had been here for a long time.
The two searched for a while, not only did they not find anyone, but they didn't even find the room they lived in, maybe it wasn't that they didn't find it, but the room they lived in was the same as the dilapidated room now, and they couldn't find it.
The more the two searched, the more they felt a chill in their hearts.
The rich kid's face became paler in the moonlight, and he trembled his teeth and said, "Brother Tai, it seems that we have broken into a strange place." ”
