Chapter 20 Cheng'an Street

The two of them walked straight to Cheng'an Street. The atmosphere inside Cheng'an Street is a little too gloomy. Long Gongzi didn't feel anything, but Lan'er walked behind and felt a chill behind her.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have followed, alas, why should I follow him. Although Lan'er complained like this, she unconsciously quickened her pace and tightened her bow.

"Miss Lan'er, do you think there's something different here?"

"You've noticed that it's funny, too. Lan'er was overjoyed. "Then let's get out of here. ”

"Scary? I mean, although the streets are very wide, they are also a place to pass between several streets. It's supposed to be suitable for human habitation, but how did it become like this? I'm just curious. ”

"Okay!"

"Look, you don't. In such a big street, there are a lot of empty houses, and there are only a dozen people who really live there, and most of them are beggars and some middle-aged men. Don't you think?"

"Then we can't go or not!"

"This, of course you don't want to go, you don't want to find out?"

"Not in the mood at all. ”

"Okay, if Miss Lan'er is afraid, if you don't have the interest, then you can go back first, and I'll go and see it first. ”

"You, you, just look at it, what's so great, what do I have to be afraid of. I just want to go to a more lively place. Lan'er was bold and simply let it go.

Long Gongzi smiled

"Then let's go"

The two walked along Cheng'an Street again, and the further they walked inside, the darker the light became, after all, this is an alley, and the south wall blocks the light.

At this time, the two found an old man sitting in front of the door resting, most likely a resident of this street.

The old man was about sixty or seventy years old, and his face looked a little too old, and his face was pitted. There are also two big teeth. The appearance is a little too ugly.

A man sat in front of the door, looking at ease, greeting the few people who passed by on the street from time to time. The whole street still looks a little alive with this old man.

Long Gongzi was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately greeted the old man.

"Hello, old man," Long Gongzi greeted respectfully.

The old man looked up and was stunned for a moment. Then he came to his senses.

"Why did you come here, young man? But no one has been here for years. Old man, I'm getting moldy here. The old man squinted and smiled at Long Gongzi.

"That's right, old man, the two of us came to Qiao Yin from out of town. I wanted to go shopping, and then found that this Cheng'an Street should be a very prosperous street, why does it seem so deserted. The younger generation felt a little strange, so they came to find out. ”

"Two people?" the old man looked to the side

"Yo, there's a little girl, she's pretty good-looking. The old man glanced at Lan'er a few more times: "But a girl dares to come to this street, I'm afraid she has some skills, or I'm afraid she is a little ignorant!"

"Haha. After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Lan'er and unconsciously let out two dry laughs.

Lan'er just felt that the old man was a little nervous, and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Huh" Long Gongzi suddenly frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable to look at, and the old man's laughter made him feel a little weird for a moment.

"Forget it, Kenneng has lived here for a long time and no one communicates with him. Long Gongzi looked like an old man, and he didn't think much about it. No matter what, he's an old man after all.

"Why did the old man say that, can't women come to this street?"

"Don't ask me, I'm not going to tell you, I've lived on this street for decades, what it used to be, what it was like now, why is it like this. I know it all. But I don't want to tell you, unless you stay here with the old man for a few days, and I will relieve my boredom with the old man. I'll tell you about it. ”

"Well, that's a bit of a tough time for us, we have an appointment with our friends tomorrow and our own things after that. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for a few days. ”

"Then I won't tell you, boy, if you really want to know, I promise you, no one knows better than I know. Do you really want to think about it?" the old man asked tentatively again

"This. Long Gongzi turned his head to Lan'er and said.

"Miss Lan'er, if I don't send you back first, you will live in the inn, and I will live in the old man's place. Anyway, in the past few days, the prefect's son is getting married. I'm going to play here for a few days before I hit the road. How?"

"No, this girl has to stay. Before Lan'er could say no, the old man spoke.

This time he said something abruptly, and Long Gongzi and Lan'er looked at each other stunned.

"I mean, it's hard to come and stay together, and you can take care of it. What are you doing when you're gone, it's so interesting to have one more person. ”

Hearing this, Long Gongzi did hesitate a little. If there is nothing to do by herself, it doesn't matter if she lives in these days, but although Miss Lan'er is already very familiar, she doesn't know the root of it after all, and she definitely won't want to live in this kind of place. There is no need to force her for her own selfish desires. I thought about it for a moment. Speak

"Then in this case, the juniors will explore it on their own, I believe that there should be someone who will know about this matter, and the juniors will leave first. ”

Long Gongzi hugged his fist at the old man, and left with Lan'er after speaking.

The old man watched Long Gongzi walk away, his eyes narrowed into a slit, as if he was smiling, and he didn't know what to think again.

"Even if you still have a little conscience, this old man is so ugly, this place is broken, and living here must scare me to death. Lan'er breathed a sigh of relief

"Haha, let's take a look inside, there's nothing and we're leaving. ”

"What you said, by the way, I just said to that bad old man that the girl still dares to come here, I don't care about it, there won't be a ghost who eats women here. Lan'er said as she spoke, and she was a little scared.

"How can there be ghosts, it's just that there are ghosts in my heart. Although I also felt very strange. The dragon bows his hands together with a pensive look.

"Did you think of anything?" Lan'er asked tentatively

"Well, this, wait, don't worry, um, I didn't think of it at all. ”

"Poof" Lan'er almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, you didn't expect it to look so similar.

"Haha, just kidding, let's go, that's why I'm going to find the answer. ”

The two of them then walked inside, walking all the way, but all the people who passed by them, or the beggars who passed by, looked at Long Gongzi and Lan'er with strange eyes. After reading it, they all shook their heads. The two people watching were uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a man came up to me, and this man was about forty years old. also looked at the two of them with strange eyes. It's just the opposite of the dragon bow,

Long Gongzi walked up quickly and grabbed the uncle.

"Hello, uncle, I'm a little presumptuous, can I ask why the people on the street look at us very strangely?

When the uncle saw Long Gongzi like this, he looked at Lan'er again. Suddenly, he held the hand of the dragon bow tightly.

"Boy, get out of here with your little lady. The farther away you run, the better. The man spoke with a hint of haste.

"How?"

"There is a curse on this street, all the women who come here are going to die, and my wife and daughter are all dying here. Wow, the man burst into tears.

"What?" Both of them were shocked, especially Lan'er, whose face turned a little pale.

"There is such a thing. Uncle, don't worry, speak slowly. Long Gongzi hurriedly supported the uncle, and it was true that the tragic death of his wife and daughter was unbearable to anyone.

Uncle breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"Most of the women on this street, even the women who have been on this street, as long as they are young and beautiful, or women who are still charming, will be insulted and die miserably. The murderer has not been found for several years, and it is even said that there may not be a murderer, and it is completely a little ghost to blame again. And it always happens when no one is around, or when you're asleep at night. ”

"Then, then I'm not going to die," Lan'er looked at Long Gongzi with some urgency. ”

"The farther you run, the better, as long as you escape from the range of the imp, it should be fine. ”

"Does Uncle think it's a ghost?" asked Long Gongzi

"I don't think it's a ghost, what is it?, I really don't want to believe it's a ghost, but who is the murderer? Even if a person with high martial arts skills can't be here for a few years, the government can't find out. ”

"Well, thank you Uncle for telling us, we'll have a way. Then we'll take our leave."

Long Gongzi didn't think much about it after speaking, he faintly felt that this street was far from being as simple as he thought, so he took Lan'er's hand and walked outside Cheng'an Street. He didn't want Lan'er to be hurt in any way in order to accompany him to find out.

"Whew. Dragon bow, I can't run. Lan'er shook off the dragon's bow's hand.

The two stopped after running out of the street.

After a moment of silence for each other, Long Gongzi spoke first.

"Lan'er, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. You. ”

"Don't say it, do you think it's any use blaming you now?" Lan'er snorted, although she didn't really blame him, but it was also caused by the dragon bow. I just feel a little angry.

"Don't you think this thing is a bit strange? Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Long Gongzi's face was a little embarrassed. Although the street was indeed bleak, he never thought that there would be such a thing.

"What this uncle said may not be credible, let's go back and ask the two shopkeepers first, what the hell is going on.
