Chapter 19 The Mysterious Visitor
The north wind blew again, and the cold was blowing.
The sky darkened unconsciously.
At the entrance of the courtyard opposite the tavern, the red lantern had already been hung out
The wind was strong and the lanterns swayed in the wind.
From a distance, the rather ambiguous lights suddenly have a little more weird colors.
The streets are empty.
Suddenly, a figure flashed.
A black cloak and a huge hat wrapped him tightly, and in the twilight, he couldn't see his face clearly.
He kept his head down and made no sound, as if he had just come out of the earth.
A dirt road, winding, with doors closed on both sides of the road.
The wind made a strange sound through the streets.
The man in black was silent, stood in the middle of the street, and looked at Niu Ye's tavern.
The tavern closes early.
The man in black looked at it for a long time, then suddenly turned around and came to the old woman's door, under the red lantern.
The lanterns kept swinging.
The misty light rained down on him.
Full of short and fat, shrunken head and neck, obscene.
The man in black stood for a moment, did not raise his feet and kick like other guests, slowly stretched out his hand, and knocked rhythmically on the broken door panel a few times.
The courtyard was still quiet, and no one came to open the door.
The man in black was not in a hurry, raised his head, and by the light of the lantern, found the special pattern on the door, looked at it carefully for a long time, sighed, and knocked on the door a few more times.
Still no one came to open the door.
The man in black looked at it for a long time, raised his hand again, and knocked it a few times harder.
Every time he hits, he shows a special sense of rhythm, and it is different every time.
There was a brisk sound of footsteps in the courtyard.
The man in black pinched his throat and coughed, followed by two more coughs.
With a "creak", the wooden door opened.
Seeing this, the man in black did not speak, and lowered his head and went in.
The person who opened the door didn't ask much, looked behind him, ripped off the lantern, and closed the door.
Taking off the lantern means no more business tonight.
If they don't hang out the lantern and run to kick the door, it is clearly to smash the field, and at that time, they will not be greeted by an old and ugly old woman.
It won't be a young woman with a beautiful face.
It can't be these stupid girls......
This unwritten convention is known to the prodigal sons and merry men and rich men who are accustomed to wandering in the wind and moon field......
The Man in Black certainly has no bad rules.
It was a girl who opened the door, she led the man in black to the front hall, invited him to sit down, turned around and brought a pot of tea, and went out with her head down.
The man in black sat on a circle chair at the table, still wearing a hat.
In the middle of the night, another girl dressed in purple stepped forward and whispered, "My young lady is invited!" After speaking, she made a "please" gesture.
"Okay!
"Please!" the girl in purple finished speaking, leading the man in black through the front hall, bypassing the screen, through a very hidden small door to the backyard, and then into a secret room, standing in front of a painting.
It was a picture of a lady drawn directly on the pink wall, with superb technique and lifelikeness.
The girl in purple was silent, and looked back at the man in black, who turned his head very knowingly.
The girl quickly stretched out her hand, tapped twice on the eyes of a lady holding a fan, and with a "boom", the floor under her feet moved violently, and in the blink of an eye, a huge hole had appeared.
The girl in purple turned around and picked up a lantern that had been prepared earlier, lit it, hit the front, and led the man in black to go straight down.
At the entrance of the cave, a staircase was naturally installed.
When I entered the cave, I found that the hole was so wide, the wall of the cave was smooth, and the bottom was flat, which was more than enough for driving.
It took a long walk before I came to another exit.
The exit is set in a separate compound.
From the outside, the courtyard looks so shabby.
An iron lock locked a gate that had been eroded into yellow and black by wind and rain, and the cobwebs on the door were dense, and the grass in front of the door was overgrown.
No one knows that there is a hole in a seemingly abandoned old mansion.
Like the courtyard that the man in black just stepped into, this mysterious courtyard has a dilapidated appearance and a delicate interior.
It's just that the luxury of this courtyard is far above the courtyard in front.
Who, on earth, is this barren place that has been laid out like this?
Even Meng Erdan, who lived in the peony room every day during this time, didn't know that this seemingly ordinary place actually hid such a big thing!
An ordinary courtyard, sitting in the north and facing south, a mud house, two rooms in the middle, put a few tables and a few circle chairs, it is considered a living room, the guests come, sit in it and wait for tea. The living room was large, and behind a huge screen, a small bed was installed, and the old woman lived here. There are four rooms on both sides, four flowers in spring, summer, autumn and winter, one for each person, divided into two halves before and after, and made into a suite, with guests in front and sleeping in the back. The wings on the east and west sides were occupied by those who made the maid and the like, and two other rooms were divided into two rooms for use as rooms. In the shady south room, there are piles of sundries, which can be regarded as a warehouse.
This courtyard that fascinates many men, the layout is so simple!
Except that it is a little larger than the other courtyards around the left and right.
Meng Erdan has lived in the suite of Peony for a long time, and naturally heard that this courtyard is also connected to a backyard, and the legendary Mengru girl lives in the backyard, how many times has he jumped on the roof to look, behind the courtyard, there is indeed a dirt yard, the scenery is no different from the courtyard in front, near the narrow alley behind the back, there is also a door, it seems, like the courtyards before and after, there is nothing abnormal. He also paid attention to the corners of the yard, and did not find any small doors connected to the backyard.
As for the cave in the ground, the luxurious place outside the cave, that is what Meng Erdan could not have imagined until he died.
Meng Erdan, who lives here every day, can't think of it, let alone anyone else.
The girl in purple invited the man in black to a room, invited him to sit down, carried the lantern, and went out on her own.
After waiting for a long time, the girl finally came back, she bowed to the man in black, and said very politely and coldly: "Miss, please come over!"
The man in black hurriedly took off his hat, took off his cloak, put it on the wooden table, and followed the girl out of the room.
Under the cloak, he was still dressed in black.
The yard is not big, and soon came to another room.
It was pitch black and empty.
The girl in purple was silent, raised her hand and knocked twice on a wall, and a door suddenly appeared in front of her.
It's a secret room again.
It's airtight inside, but it's brightly lit.
A woman, dressed in a long robe and covered with a white veil. Although sitting, you can see the slenderness of her figure, and although you can feel the beauty of her appearance through the veil.
Rare in the world!
Even the dancing lights dimmed in front of her.
The man in black was stunned, hurriedly clenched his fists, and said in a low voice: "Miss is on top!
The woman remained silent, turned her back to him, and waved her hand.
The purple-clothed girl standing beside her had a face like frost, pointed to a chair next to her, and snorted at the black-clothed man.
The man in black thanked him, and was just about to sit down, when he suddenly saw the girl's cold face, hesitated, and still stood in place.
The woman did not say anything.
The girl in purple rolled her eyelids and didn't speak.
In the secret room, there was silence.
After a long time, the man in black finally spoke, he hugged his fist towards the woman's back, bowed his waist, and said cautiously: "Miss......"
"I know everything!" Before the man in black could finish speaking, the woman interrupted him as soon as she spoke, her voice cold, clean and loud, still facing away from him.
"What about ......" the man in black asked, still holding his fists and hesitatingly.
"When have we been humiliated like this?" the woman's voice grew colder.
"Yes! The subordinate is guilty!" When the man in black heard the woman's voice change suddenly, his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly replied, his fat waist completed a bow, and his big fat face was flushed with white and bearded.
"Decades of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, killing Buddhas when encountering Buddhas, killing demons when encountering demons, a little trick of pretending to be a god and a ghost, scared you?"
"The subordinates don't dare! the subordinates don't dare!"
"Is there something you wouldn't dare?"
"Subordinate confession! Subordinate confession! Miss Wanwang raised her noble hand......" said the man in black, kneeling on the ground with a "poof", his head bowed, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down the back of his neck, and his clothes were wet.
"Heh......" The woman sneered, waved her hand, and the woman in purple, who had been standing behind her, bent down, quietly retreated out of the secret room, and closed the door casually.
The man in black fell to his knees, his head bowed, and he almost crawled on the ground, not daring to move.
The woman pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up, walked up to the man in black, stretched out a pair of white and slender hands, personally grabbed the arm of the man in black, and helped him up.
The man in black trembled, but he stood up, and suddenly felt a strange fragrance hit him, drowning him.
He suddenly felt dizzy, looking at the jumping lights, in a trance, as if he had stepped into the fairy palace.
"Big brother!" the woman spoke, different from Fang Cai's coldness, and as soon as she turned around, as if she had changed someone, her voice suddenly became so sweet and so pleasant.
The man in black jumped from the ice cave into the fire pit at once, and when the six gods were gone, the woman's slender hands put on his shoulders again.
The man in black was short and stocky, and the woman was tall, standing in front of her, just in time to see her pink neck, thin and smooth, like a white swan.
The woman twisted her body slightly, and the strange fragrance came again, and the man in black stood in the secret room in a daze, his whole body was soft, and he felt that his soul had already been out of his body......
"Big brother!" the woman screamed again, and through the veil, the man in black felt that her smile was so moving.
"Big brother!" the woman cried, picked up a fragrant handkerchief, wiped the long string of saliva from the black-clothed man's chin with her own hands, smiled like a silver bell, and took the black-clothed man's shoulders to help him sit on a circle chair behind him.
The man in black was like a puppet at the woman's mercy, and the scent on the woman's body continued to hit, and the man in black almost fainted......
"Big brother, a few little thieves, you can't ruin our prestige......" the woman said, standing in front of him, twisting her waist.
The waist is so slim, only Ying Ying has a hand.
The man in black stared blankly and drooled again.
"Big brother!" the woman raised her voice, and the man in black was suddenly awakened. He stood up suddenly, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to wipe the saliva from his chin, hugged his fist at the woman, and said loudly: "Miss don't worry! Everything is ......arranged by his subordinates."
"Heh......" The woman smiled lightly, looked at the man in black kneeling in front of her, did not go up to help again, turned around and walked to the back of the table and sat down, and pulled a rope hanging beside her.
With a "squeak", the door of the secret room was pushed open, and the girl in purple walked in again, holding a lantern in her hand.
"Purple clothes, send off!" the woman commanded, turned around, and stopped talking.
The girl in purple clothes and her name called "purple" heard the woman's command, answered respectfully, turned to the black-clothed man who was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, and said in a cold voice: "Please!"
The man in black hurriedly got up, looking greedily at the woman with a pair of triangular eyes, but the woman had already turned around, still facing away from him.
"Please!" Ziyi seemed to be unable to wait, shouted at him, and reached out again to push.
"Yes! Yes!" the man in black hurriedly agreed, suddenly sniffling, taking a deep breath, holding it in his chest, and following the purple clothes out......
When I walked through the long secret passage and came to the original courtyard, and walked out of the courtyard that had been kicked by the "guest officials" and stood on the street of the Two Realms Mountain, it was already midnight.
There was no moon or stars, and it was pitch black.
Only a tight gust of north wind, howling through the narrow streets.
The man in black stood in the middle of the street, looking at the inky black sky, motionless.
He sniffled vigorously, as if the strange scent of the Chamber of Secrets was still lingering beside him.
He closed his eyes, feeling extremely comfortable and satisfied......
In the silence of "Click...... Click, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.
The hard hooves of horses pounded on the hard dirt road, and in the town at midnight, it made an unusually loud sound.
The man in black suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the place where the voice came from.
It was pitch black everywhere, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
"Click, click, ......" The sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder.
The man in black stood on the dirt road, waiting for a long time, as if he couldn't wait, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
"Huh!" As soon as he broke off, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly disappeared, and in the darkness, he faintly saw a big man jumping down from the car, snatching up in front of the man in black in a few steps, kneeling on one knee, clasping his fists with both hands, and said loudly: "The subordinates are late, the lord forgives the sin!"
Only then did the man in black see that behind the big man, there were four horses standing in Qi Shushu, and behind the horses, it was naturally the carriage he was familiar with.
Kneeling in front of him, of course, was his groom.
It's been a good day, and I certainly won't blame the groom for being late—besides, he's not late.
The man in black glanced at the groom, but did not answer, but walked to the carriage on his own, and stepped on it.
When the groom saw the man in black enter the sedan chair, he stood up, jumped lightly, sat down in front of the carriage, raised his whip, and four fine horses pulled the cart and galloped away.
There were no torches and no lanterns.
The night is like a rock, and I can't see my fingers.
But don't worry about anything going wrong.
Not only that, but because of a special skill of this groom, he secretly distinguishes things, like day, and never makes mistakes.
Catching a car at night and lighting a lantern can illuminate the long road in front of you, but at the same time, it is also the best goal in the night.
With this groom, a lot of trouble is naturally saved.
Coming and going without a trace, erratic, elusive.
Naturally, there was more than one groom who came to meet the man in black, and there were four other guards in the carriage, all of whom were first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, holding sharp blades in their arms and sitting in the carriage, and they had always been loyal to him and had no second heart.
The man in black lay comfortably in the carriage, and couldn't help but think of the woman in the secret room.
Her slender hands, her pink neck, her laughter, the scent of her body......
Thinking about it, the man in black lying in the carriage felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, and gradually, floated up......
Suddenly, the galloping carriage came to a halt.
The people in the carriage were defenseless and almost fell out.
The man in black was awakened from his dream, and he couldn't help but be furious.
He slapped his face, and one of the guards jumped out.
It was silent outside, and there was no movement.
The man in black was about to shout, when suddenly his eyes rolled, he closed his mouth, turned around quietly, waved his hand, and another guard jumped out.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement outside.
Another guard drew his sword and tiptoed out.
Suddenly, I heard him shout, and then, as if something had fallen heavily.
Silence fell back outside......
