After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 58

Liu Shi seems to have rushed to the door to give gifts, just to make clear his identity and his intentions.

After returning, I will prepare the ceremony well, and it will not be too late to express my true gratitude when the General's Mansion summons me.

Coupled with the flaws in Liu Bingzhou's calligraphy, which she had high hopes for, she made up her mind not to stay for a long time.

Therefore, before Zheng Shi went to knock on the door, he told him the original words were, after the knock on the door, he would keep a long story short, and wait for the people in the general's residence to receive the salute and immediately get in the car and leave.

"..."

Unexpectedly, when he heard the words 'yesterday' and 'help', the boy's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Please wait a moment."

He didn't give Zheng Shi the opportunity to refuse, and quickly closed the door, obviously going back to send a letter.

The second monk Zheng Shizhang was confused, turned his head and looked at Liu Shi from a distance, not knowing the purpose of the general's residence.

Liu Shi was also puzzled. Although she was far apart, she also saw that after Zheng Shi and the boy had finished talking, the gatekeeper's expression was a little wrong, and she even turned to look at herself with a strange look in her eyes. .

"Could it be that we took the liberty to come and disturb the people in the General's Mansion?"

She turned her head and asked Mammy Cao, and Mammy Cao couldn't make up her mind. Hearing this, she shook her head.

In the distance, there were merchants staring at this side all the time. Seeing a few people knocking on the door of the General's Mansion, they couldn't help whispering to each other. While looking at Liu Shi and the others, their expressions were a little out of place.

Liu brought two girls, each with their own beauty and beauty, and they were already very attractive. Now that they were pointed at and talked about like this, Su Miaozhen quickly lowered her head, pulled up her cloak hat, and blocked the Ruozhilan Zhang. Such a pretty face.

Yao Shouning was stared at calmly, since she was young and beautiful, she has long been used to everyone's gaze.

After being seen a lot, not only did she not hide, but an idea came to her mind and said to Mrs Liu:

"Mother, I want to eat candied haws."

While speaking, she pointed her finger in one direction, where someone was holding a grass frame filled with candied haws.

Liu Shi was puzzled by the attitude of the general's gatekeeper, and was entangled by Yao Shouning. Seeing that the man who sold the candied haws was not far away, and it was close to the imperial city, he was not worried. He nodded in agreement and ordered:

"Bring the mallow."

"Sister Shouning,"

When Su Miaozhen heard this, she suddenly said, "Since you want to eat, why don't I come..."

While speaking, she stretched out her hand to Yao Shouning, as if she wanted to considerately take the bamboo tube she was holding in her hand.

The origin of the voice on her body is unknown, and she said that the calligraphy and painting would be destroyed. How dare Yao Shouning let her touch the words written by Liu Bingzhou himself.

Seeing her reaching out, she didn't even act on the surface of her sisterhood, pretended not to see her behavior, turned her head and walked in the direction of the vendor.

Su Miaozhen's outstretched hand fell into the air, and she lowered her head in disappointment.

When Liu Shi saw this scene, the smile on his face disappeared, and he made up his mind to find an opportunity to talk to his daughter later.

The atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Mallow hurriedly chased behind Yao Shouning:
"Miss wait for me."

Yao Shouning ignored her and stood in front of the straw rack selling candied haws.

The peddler was still very young. He looked less than 20 years old. He was not tall, but he was very clever. When he saw Yao Shouning approaching, his eyes lit up and he looked very enthusiastic.

Yao Shouning was carrying the candied haws, and felt that the young man's eyes were looking at him secretly through the candy shelf, a little surprised, but also a little curious and fearful.

She let him look at it for a long time, Leng might as well turn her head to look at him, and immediately startled the hawker, turning her head in a little panic.

"What are you looking at?"

She asked, and saw that Hongxia rose from the hawker's neck, covering her cheeks and ears, as if she had asked her so directly, she was very embarrassed.

"Is the young lady here to visit the General's Mansion?"

After all, this businessman walks the streets and alleys, often dealing with people. After the initial embarrassment passed, he quickly adjusted his expression and calmed down a little.

When he asked this, Yao Shouning always felt that things were unusual.

She nodded and smiled:

"Yes, the people in the General's Mansion are kind to my mother, so they came to visit specially."

She didn't laugh, and when she smiled, her eyes seemed to be full of brilliance, and her whole person was bright and moving, so that the hawker did not dare to look directly, so she had to remind carefully:
"Then you have to be careful."

"What happened to the General's Mansion?"

After Yao Shouning heard what he said, he became more and more certain that something big might have happened in the General's Mansion. After all, it was rumored that the merchants along the street had heard about it, and the mansion must have been unable to cover it up.

When she asked this, the peddler's face showed some hesitation.

They sell goods here, and they are afraid of spreading rumors in private and angering the nobles.

Seeing Yao Shouning's beauty before, he reminded him on the spur of the moment, but when she asked her, he felt a little regretful.

"Ugh."

Seeing this scene, Yao Shouning couldn't help sighing: "After our visit, it's no wonder that the person who opened the door looked a little out of place."

After she finished speaking, she stared at the man selling the candied haws with her big watery eyes, her face turned red, and she said subconsciously:

"Miss I don't know, the general's mansion was hit by evil last night."

"what?"

The merchant's words were beyond Yao Shouning's expectations, causing her to exclaim involuntarily.

Mallow on the side was carefully choosing the candied haws, and when she heard this, her hands trembled and she turned her head.

"What evil did it hit?"

Yao Shouning's heart tightened. For some reason, he remembered the dream after meeting Lu Zhi and returning home yesterday.

Anyway, what shouldn't have been said has been said, and the trader no longer hides it, and whispered:

"I heard that after nightfall last night, there were a lot of snakes in the general's mansion."

"snake?"

Mallow exclaimed, a look of fear on her face.

The hawker nodded and lowered his voice:

"You said, it's already the winter solstice, why are there still snakes and worms?"

"If you say that there are only snakes, you can't say that you have hit an evil, right?"

Yao Shouning tried to calm down. When she said this, she remembered that when she was in a drowsy day yesterday, she dreamed that there was a black gas coming out of Lu Zhi's forehead, which turned into a giant python opening its huge mouth towards her. His face turned pale, and he tightly hugged the bamboo tube in his hand to feel at ease.

I only dreamed about Lu Zhi's forehead turning black into a snake yesterday, and today I heard that the General's Mansion was hit by an evil spirit, and a large number of snakes appeared——

Yao Shouning felt uneasy in his heart, so he heard the hawker say:
"Naturally more than that."

He shook his head, "If one or two snakes appear, it's a little strange, but it's not a big deal."

Having said this, the hawker paused for a moment, pretending to be mysterious:

"But it's not just one or two snakes that appeared in the General's Mansion."

Mallow was covered in goose bumps and kept rubbing her arms when she heard the hawker say:
"It is said that after nightfall last night, a lot of snakes appeared one after another in the forest, in the house, and on the beams. They were twisted in groups of three or five and crawled all over the house."
