Chapter 19: The Ghost Girl (II)
There is a way that the snow is not cold and the snow is cold, and the early morning sunlight is sprinkled, and even the light seems to be frozen, and a small black sedan chair slowly walks on the path and stops in front of this deserted mansion.
"Sister, be careful. ”
The rouge in disguise slowly walked out of the sedan chair, dressed plainly, with small shoes with dense lines on a white background, which was completely opposite to the previous charming and enchanting image.
"Wait for me here. ”
Rouge looked at this deserted mansion, her beautiful eyes flashed with a complicated look, hesitation, fear, and nostalgia, and finally pushed the door in.
As soon as he bypassed the corridor, he suddenly swept a figure, his eyes shrank, and he lost his voice: "It's you!"
"Rouge girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you've changed your clothes," Kou Li put down the hoe in his hand and turned back.
"Why are you here, you spy on me!"
"The girl said and laughed, aren't you playing the same trick in my Fengfu, everyone is each other. ”
Rouge glanced at the other party fixedly, and a charming smile suddenly appeared on the face of the clear soup noodles, "Gongzi Kou is seeing the concubine in this wilderness, but do you want to have an open-air tryst with the concubine?" ”
"I just fought with a female ghost yesterday to the third watch, and today I am really powerless, next time," Kou Li said with a smile.
"You've been here all night!?" Rouge shrank his eyes and blurted out, "Then you can see—"
"Who do you see, Squirrel Girl, or Bai Ying, Luohua, Sister Xu, and the Third Lady?"
"You really saw them," Rouge's face turned pale, and the woman, who was originally deep and unfathomable, was actually full of helplessness and panic, as if the deepest secret in her heart had seen the light.
"What do you want to do?"
Kou Li softened his tone, "I believe in fair trade, you and I are willing, the girl should be in trouble here, I happen to be able to help you solve the trouble, if I can help you solve this matter, I also hope that the girl can trust us and become our real collaborator." ”
Rouge's eyes were full of thoughts, and after a long time, he whispered, "Can you really do it?"
"How do you know if you don't try, don't hide it from Your Excellency, Kou has already injured the female ghost at night, but there are still some things I want to understand, such as the relationship between this female ghost and you, and the relationship between the former governor. ”
There was a moment of silence -
"That female ghost, in fact, one of our sisters, is called Xiao Mo ......"
Twenty years ago, there was chaos in the southeast, sea disasters were flourishing, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods were running around, officials were bandits, bandits were officials, and the coast was even more chaotic.
At that time, the governor of Fujian Province was naturally not a good person, not only corrupt and bribery, lustful became a disease, and his favorite thing was to play with girls, so in order to bribe this court official, the pirates at that time often brought girls from good families from all over the country to worship this bureaucracy.
Rouge, Squirrel Girl, and Xiao Mo are actually one of those girls.
It is for this reason that the torments of childhood are almost everywhere, both physical and mental, and especially the governor's jealous wives and concubines, and girls are tortured to death almost every day.
At that time, there were two girls who were slightly older, one was Xiao Mo and the other was Rouge, who won the trust of the other girls the most, among which Xiao Mo was sleek and had hooked up with the governor's second son with his charm, while Rouge was the most stubborn and received the most punishment.
At that time, the imperial court had decided to spend a lot of energy on regulating the southeast, and at that time, a nest of bandits known as the Water Wolf Gang had begun to gain momentum, and at that time, these girls had already hooked up with these bandits.
And the evidence of the Governor's collusion with pirates over the years has also been secretly obtained by these girls.
“...... But the old thief Shen still found out that something was wrong, Xiao Mo was tortured to death alive, hum, ten days later, the old ghost finally collapsed, but he didn't know that this was just the beginning. ”
Rouge showed a gloomy smile: "The first person I killed was the youngest son of the old ghost, it was he, the first to insult Xiao Mo back then, and the third lady, if you want to die, how can it be so easy!"
According to her, they teamed up with the water wolf bandits of the time to torture the entire population to death, and then smuggled them back to the house, poured them with feces, urine and dung, and buried them in the ground, which according to the customs of the place, would lead them to eternal hell and suffering.
And Xiao Mo's body disappeared somehow at that time.
The bandits of the Water Wolf Gang did not hand over all the incriminating evidence, but it was enough to let the governor go into the wilderness, and these interest channels and subsidiary forces were the key to their snake swallowing elephants.
The girls then joined the bandits, some of whom died, and those who survived, as the tide of the bandits rose, Rouge became Rouge Tigers.
These girls who survived naturally did not forget the grievances of the year, and often returned here to pay tribute to Xiao Mo.
But in the past few days, the situation has become more and more wrong, first these people dream night and night, repeatedly dream about the scene of the year, and the number of dreamers is also increasing, and then, the situation is even more serious, and some people even sleepwalk here at night.
It wasn't until a few days ago that when the squirrel girl came to worship, she disappeared, and Rouge realized that Xiao Mo was back!
"It seems that Xiao Mo back then is afraid that he has turned into a female ghost now," Kou Li suddenly said, "So the illusions, footsteps, and dead bodies I encountered yesterday are most likely to be Xiao Mo's ghosts." ”
"I have to confirm again," Kou Li threw a hoe and said, "Where was the place where you buried the body back then, looking at it, it was an old woman in a red dress, and it was very likely that it was the third lady you said." ”
"You let the concubine dig the ground," Rouge stared at her, as if she felt incredible, didn't this man know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?
"Of course, men and women are matched, and they don't get tired of work," Kou Li said as a matter of course.
Rouge finally compromised, dug up the ground without any manners, and finally dug up the body of the third lady under the southeast wall of the house, the coffin was opened, and the billowing stench suddenly hit, and the feces had melted into a black unknown substance.
Kou Li endured his disgust, took out a wooden stick, and picked up the corpse inside, as expected, he could vaguely see the appearance of the red dress, and more importantly, the corpse's head was broken from the roots, and the wound was smooth, as if it had been cut by a knife.
"Now the key is to find the 'disappeared' corpse, which should be the cover door of the female ghost," Kou Li was sure.
If the Ice Spirit Bead was still there, he naturally didn't need to be so troublesome, but he only had the demon knife of the boy cutting the fish, and although this demon knife had been calcined by the flesh and blood of the monster, it only belonged to the mortal soldier stage, and it was of little use against the fierce ghosts.
And this also affirms some kind of speculation by Kou Li, the world is about to change, and demons and monsters have begun to be born.
The corpse that could not be found back then, even if it is found now, it is the same, Kou Li and the others spent most of the day working hard to turn over all the places, and there was no clue.
"Was Xiao Mo's body destroyed back then?"
"The concubine and the sisters have discussed it many times, and there is also this possibility, but Xiao Mo-"
Kou Li understood what the other party meant, if the body was destroyed, how could Xiao Mo's ghost be entrenched here, after all, it had been more than twenty years.
Suddenly, Kou Li's heart moved, and he thought of the scene that happened last night, the squirrel girl who was under control seemed to lead her to the study.
The Doge's Study!
"Where did Xiao Mo die?"
Through Rouge's expression, Kou Li saw something.
The study is even more dilapidated than the one seen at night, the wooden eaves and paper windows on the doors and windows are rotten, there is cobwebs and dust everywhere, the books on the shelves have long been emptied, only the broken wooden shelves remain, and the light hits into it, and the dust particles bring out a hazy feeling.
Kou Li released the sense of touch of the wordless diagram, and he found that this sense of touch was much more acute than the physical reaction to deal with such formless and intangible ghosts.
"What's that?"
Rouge looked around, and in the gap between the bookshelf and the corner of the wall, a dilapidated pear wood chair was placed, and the window was close to the light.
"This is the place where the old thief likes to stay in the most-"
Before Rouge finished speaking, Kou Li's demon knife flashed, and it had already slashed past, and at the same time, a pale-faced phantom of a girl appeared, and the blade of the knife slashed into the mist at the same time.
A piercing eardrum-piercing scream came out, and the doors and windows of the study closed instantly, the light dimmed, and the cold mist covered the vision at the same time.
"I can actually appear in the daylight, this female ghost's way is not shallow, it's a pity-" Kou Li regretted in his heart, if it wasn't for the demon knife and the ghost, he would have been able to kill this flirt just now.
In the mist, one after another rotting corpses were reflected, old and young, men and women, with dull eyes, dense yellow blisters on the corpses, and slurry splashed everywhere, among which was the headless third lady, it seemed that the corpse was expelled in the daytime, and it was indeed damaged.
"Looks like you weren't killed enough last night!" said Kou Li.
On the other side, Rouge has two more daggers in his hands, his body is slightly down, and his eyes are full of anger, even if it is a female tiger, it is also a mighty mountain forest, a fierce and fierce tiger king!
"Little Rouge, what, do you want to kill me?" The mist dispersed, and the squirrel girl slowly walked out, her expression seemed to be smiling, her eyes were black and red, and she was not reflective at all.
And there is no shadow under the feet of the squirrel girl.
"Sure enough, it's you, Xiao Mo," Rouge said astringently.
