Section 34 Mrs. Du
"Since you said that Scarface is Liu Yiyi's subordinate," Ji Ran said, "It seems that Wu Zizhi's death is also very boring!"
She didn't answer immediately, just picked up a remnant of the page and studied it intently.
"Think about your own problems. She said without looking back, "At least the cause of Wu Zizhi's death has nothing to do with us, right?"
"Or think about why people are so familiar with you and know everything about you. ”
She silently read the words on the page, as if they were very familiar. When she put the pages back on the bed, a seductive, nostalgic smile appeared on her face that was not for her age.
"I've already said that the palm only gave you a month!"
"I need to rest. ”
Ji Ran took a sip of tea, and his mood was obviously not very good.
Ji Ran only now noticed the perfect breast shape outlined by the girl's long skirt.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Female ghosts," she said, "female ghosts in love." ”
He laughed out loud.
Xie Yubing looked at the other party, then pressed a finger on it, staring at Ji Ran.
"Do you believe in ghosts?"
"Faith, at least when I encounter any problems, I will believe. ”
She nodded slowly in agreement, as if she already knew the answer. She opened her lips slightly, observing Ji Ran curiously, watching the movements of the signals that only she understood.
"A lot of people are like that. ”
"What about you?"
"I don't believe it, but in my eyes the so-called ghosts and gods are more powerful beings than us. Her eyelashes lifted to reveal a clear iris, "And they're gone now, aren't they?"
"Your perception is peculiar. It's different from what most people think!"
"What do other people think?"
"There are those who think ghosts and gods are false and scoff at them. And some people think that there is, and even these so-called believers in gods are worshipped as gods. ”
"People will always show fear of things they don't understand, and the manifestation of fear is two extremes, extreme arrogance, or infinite inferiority. ”
She stared at him with a mocking sneer.
"Your tone always makes me feel like you're not human. ”
Ji Ran waved his hand playfully, making an expression of smelling a bunch of rancid vegetables, he stopped and pondered for a while, and then continued, "Okay, okay, let's stop the topic of human nature!." Saying that, Ji Ran looked at Xie Yubing with interest, "Let's talk about that Mrs. Du! What do you know about her?"
Xie Yubing smiled mysteriously and said, "You are asking the right person!"
"Oh?"
"Mrs. Du is a legendary figure, she is not only the wife of the Duke of Huayang, but also the clan of today's saints, and she is also the first order of the imperial court, and there is a record in the Zongren Mansion. She finally said with an admiring expression.
"Madame Du is a real nobleman. However, what makes this lady famous in the world is her great military exploits, it is said that Mrs. Du is a Mulan, Mu Guiying-like woman and red face, when she was young, she fought with Huayang Gongnan and the north, and she was also regarded as an outstanding military achievement. It also left the story of Mrs. Du's drumming and fighting Jinshan. ”
Xie Yubing moved slowly around the bed, between him and the lamp that illuminated the room, and by chance, or deliberately, let her shadow cast onto the broken pages on the bed.
"If you are going to visit Madame Du, you should pay attention to some etiquette," her face was in the shadows, "and your usual style is likely to be kicked out." ”
Her words were soft, like a rustle coming in from under a crack in a door or through a window. Even the noise of the streets has disappeared.
"That's all you know?"
Ji Ran was obviously not satisfied with Xie Yubing's answers, and even his tone was a little playful.
He didn't need this kind of well-known information.
There's no need to know.
"Yes!"
Xie Yubing suddenly became disinterested, gently put down the teacup in his hand, and slowly stood up.
Finally, she said goodnight and walked to the door.
———————————————————————————————————————
When Ji Ran set off for Huayang, it was already the next day.
I have to say that this road is really not close.
By the time he was ready to present his visit, it would be five days later.
———————————————————————————————————————
When Ji Ran saw Mrs. Du, she was sitting in the study reading a book.
When Madame Du laughed, two lovely dimples appeared on her face, and it looked like she had been laughing incessantly for decades, so much so that it left an eternally kind expression in her eyes and the corners of her mouth.
He had heard countless rumors about this Madame Du before, but when it came time to actually see this old man, Ji Ran couldn't classify her into any of them.
Because no one would associate this kind old man with General Pingbei, who killed 200,000 Donghu people.
"Ji Gongzi, is it? I heard that old guy talk about you. ”
She held out her only hand.
Yes, this old lady has only one hand, and it is said that when she was forty-six years old, she accompanied Huayang Gong on the expedition to Donghu, but she encountered an ambush, and Huayang Gong died in battle, and she lost one arm.
Of course, these things were all read by Ji Ran in books, after all, for him, who was only in his early twenties, the war of thirty years ago could only be seen in books.
"Zhangzun said that you are a good successor and can fulfill the trust of your ancestors. Mrs. Du praised kindly.
She picked out a dead leaf from a small potted plant by the window and smiled, "I didn't feel it before, but now I know that reading books and planting flowers are sometimes fun." ”
Ji Ran looked at the desk full of books, and the bookcase was also full of all kinds of ancient books that seemed to be the rarest in the world.
"What are these books?? ?”
"Oh, it's all wild history and miscellaneous talk, and the right is to relieve boredom. ”
Mrs. Du proudly introduced.
Potted plants were everywhere, by the windows, on the floor, and on wooden bookshelves. The scale of this book room is really not small, and at a glance, all the walls are also filled with books.
Whether it's a new book printed on paper, an old bamboo slip, or an old silk book, everything is available.
"I'm here for this book!"
Ji Ran was not too pretentious, and went straight to the point and took out a cloth bag from his arms, in which two Devil Bibles were placed.
"Where did the little one get this book?"
"Longmen Town and the foot of Helan Mountain!"
"As far as I know, the owners of those two books regard them as treasures, so I don't think they will give them to you!" Mrs. Du still smiled.
"Of course, they cherish this book very much," Ji Ran nodded, and then said, "But they were all killed!" Ji Ran's words were very rhythmic, and his tone was also very well rendered.
Anyone who hears it will be shocked.
However, his wishful thinking was clearly in vain.
"Then what are you looking for me for?" Mrs. Du only nodded slightly, as if she was not concerned about the death of the other owners of the book.
