Chapter 14 Black Spider Villa

With a bang, the water basin overturned.

Tang Zhaolian took several steps back, his face turned pale, and he almost didn't sit on the ground.

Wei Changle jumped up and said, "What's the matter?"

Tang Zhao was still in shock, pointing to the flipped basin and said, "There's a spider inside...a big one... lying in the water..."

Wei Changle took a deep breath, looked around, picked up the candlestick from the table, and said, "Let me see."

Although the age is similar, Wei Changle is no more fussy than Tang Zhao. He has never seen any insects along the way, spiders, bedbugs, centipedes, scorpions... There are many poisonous and non-toxic, so he went up to check.

Tang Zhao also felt that he had overreacted at this time. If the spider hadn't suddenly appeared in the washbasin, he would not have been like this. Although he was afraid of bugs in the past, he would not let others see them easily. He coughed lightly and added: "It's big! Be careful."

Wei Changle walked over step by step, and carefully opened a gap in the washbasin.

And no bugs crawled out.

Uncover it little by little, until the basin is lifted up, and there is no shadow of the spider.

Tang Zhao was also surprised, and suddenly realized: "Maybe lying on the basin!"

Wei Changle hurriedly turned the pot over, looked inside, and exclaimed "Ah", followed by "Huh".

Looking up, Wei Changle smiled and said, "Come and see?"

Tang Zhao was surprised, went over to look, and saw a palm-sized black spider painted on the bottom of the basin.

The painting of the spider is lifelike, with eight legs spread out, and the fluff on the feet is clearly visible. Tang Zhao knew it was fake, but still couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart. In addition, he became angry from embarrassment, and blurted out: "Isn't this sick? Who would?" Draw a spider in a water basin?"

I heard a delicate voice behind me saying: "Is it sick? Who is sick? Let me see which doctor is here to prescribe medicine?"

Tang Zhao was startled and looked back.

The door has been opened, and a woman in black stands leaning against the door, with her eyes narrowed and a smile on her lips.

This woman was only in her twenties, she had a pretty face, her eyes were flexible, and she smiled very charmingly, but Tang Zhao always felt that there was something sinister, as if there was danger hidden in it.

This is the person who was laughing outside the window before, Tang Zhao was too surprised just now, he forgot she was still there, felt a little embarrassed, cupped his hands and apologized: "Student made a mistake, I don't mean disrespect to the family, please also sister Haihan. "

Wei Changle also got up and saluted, and the awkward smile he had seen in the temple for the first time returned to his face.

The woman turned her eyes on Tang Zhao's face, her smile gradually faded away, the gloominess dissipated a lot, and she returned to normal, lazily said: "Forget it, don't care about children. You are a little scholar, aren't you? No wonder you don’t have much knowledge when you bury your head in your books at home.”

Tang Zhaodao: "I'm not even a scholar..."

The woman stepped closer and said: "You are afraid of spiders in the pot, but you saw me?"

Tang Zhao was puzzled, and when he looked up, he saw a black spider lying on the side of the woman's temple, with a few white threads hanging from the spider's mouth, like pendant beads.

Tang Zhao got goosebumps, and said, "Spider-shaped...bead flower?"

The woman smiled and said: "That's right. It was my little baby when he was alive, but unfortunately he died unexpectedly. I made it into a hairpin and carried it with me. Isn't it beautiful?"

Tang Zhao wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

The woman rolled up her sleeves, revealing half of her wrist, and said, "How about this?"

I saw a string of dark beads on the half of the snow-white arm. Looking carefully, it was a small spider.

Tang Zhao felt goosebumps all over his body. The woman touched his face and said, "Look silly? These are sandalwood beads. Although the babies are good, they are still too rough. Wearing them close to the body is not good for the skin." Good. Silly boy, our place is the Black Spider Villa."

She withdrew her arms and hugged her shoulders, and said, "I'm here to clean up... Oh, to clean up the two of you. Come with me and take you to a good place."

Tang Zhao was very resistant to going with this woman, Wei Changle pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Let's not offend her."

The two followed the woman to go out. At this time, the sky outside was already bright, but the villa was mostly decorated with black, and it was still gloomy under the sun.Tang Zhao thought of the name of the Black Spider Villa, and always felt that there were groups of spiders crouching in the shadows in the corner.

The woman in black smiled and said, "My name is Yuan Qing, what's your name?"

Tang Zhao replied: "Student Tang Zhao." After a pause, Yuan Qing didn't continue to ask, and introduced: "This is Wei Changle."

Yuan Qing let out a casual "hmm" and said, "You don't look like Mr. Xing's relative or friend."

Tang Zhaodao: "How can I have that blessing? We were all caught by him."

Yuan Qing nodded, and said, "That's right. It's not surprising that he arrests anyone. Widows, three-year-old children, old men in their seventies and eighties, blind and crippled, you can arrest them if you want. How can you have any scruples?"

Just as they were talking, the three of them arrived in front of a big house.The dome of the house is pure black, and it looks like a black pot on the ground.

There is only one small window in the whole dark room, which is half open and is emitting white steam.

A man in black at the door stepped forward and bowed, "Sister Yuanqing, I've prepared according to your order."

Yuan Qing's eyes moved slightly, and she said with a smile, "Well, remove this pot and replace it with clean water."

The man in black was slightly startled, and immediately said: "Yes." He hurried in.

Yuan Qing turned her head to Tang Zhao and said, "Master Xing, Da Lala came to the door, you are not polite at all, you instigate this, send that, and ask me to take you to take a bath with a twist of your mouth, haha. That's what I think You are innocent, well-groomed, and soft-hearted. Just wait, someone will call you later." After saying that, she turned and left.

Tang Zhao thought about her words carefully, his whole body went numb, Wei Changle said in a low voice: "She means that the water has been added?"

Tang Zhao rubbed his head, feeling terrified.

Don't look at Yuan Qing who always has a pleasant face, she is the woman who puts a spider on her head, even Tang Zhao feels that her smile is more dangerous than not smiling.

After a while they were called in.

This room was probably originally a bathroom, and the walls were thick, presumably for warmth.There is a square pool built in the center, which is half filled with water.The stones used to build the pool are not black, but green, and the reflected pool water is also emerald green.A lifelike spider is carved in each of the four corners of the pool, as if the water in the pool is filled with poisonous saliva from the spider's mouth.

Rao Tang Zhao knew that the water had been changed, but he still couldn't help feeling nervous.

A man in black next to him shouted, "Go in quickly, don't dawdle."

So far, Tang Zhao had no choice but to take out the odds and ends in his arms and put them at the bottom of the bamboo basket next to him, then took off his clothes and folded them on top, and finally took off his glasses and put them on top.

The moment he took off his glasses, he actually felt a little uncomfortable, as if a support had been removed, and he was a little at a loss.

He thought that Mr. Chen said before that after wearing glasses for decades, it seems that something is missing when he suddenly stops wearing them, and he often makes movements of pushing the glasses, presumably it is the same?

But are glasses so magical?He only wore it for half a day and couldn't leave it?
The water temperature is very comfortable, and the delicate and smooth water waves are directed at the skin, and Tang Zhao relaxes almost instantly.

Turning around, I saw two boys in black taking away Tang Zhao and Wei Changle's clothes. Tang Zhao hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, what are we going to wear after washing?"

The man in black laughed and said, "Of course you have them. Why, do you still think we are greedy for your clothes? You rags can only be used as fire."

Tang Zhao stared at the two boys, and was relieved to see that they only took away the clothes and did not touch anything else.

Other things are fine, but the glasses are his most important thing and must not be lost.

Even if he doesn't rely on it, he really likes the world he sees after wearing glasses.

It was a clear, clear, shining world. His eyesight had been declining for some time, and the brilliance of this world fascinated him at once, and he was immediately captured by the glasses.

Mr. Chen seems to have said back then that everyone is suitable for wearing different glasses, but this glasses seems to be especially suitable for him. I don’t know if it’s luck or some mystery in it.

He always felt in his heart that he saw a real fairy in the well.

Although the fairy did not give him both gold and silver glasses like in the story, she gave him what was most suitable and what he wanted most. Tang Zhao was grateful and shocked at the same time.

At this time, the glasses are already his most important thing, both emotional and practical, if someone takes them away, Tang Zhao will definitely crawl out of the water naked to stop them.

Fortunately, these young servants are obviously well-trained, except for doing the things at hand, they don't look around, and they don't even look at such rare things as glasses.

Having said that, he wore glasses all the way, and his appearance was a bit strange, and no one showed curiosity.

Could it be that he has too little experience, and there are many people who wear glasses in this world?Are you all surprised?

Soaking in the water, Tang Zhao felt warm all over his body, and wished he could just sleep in the pool. The heat steamed up, and his brain became dull. All thoughts gradually dissipated, and time froze in the steam.

"It's time to come out. Even if it's steamed, it should be cooked." A voice exploded.

Tang Zhao was startled in a daze, seeing the man in black on Chi Shang staring at him, and the two of them stared wide-eyed for a while.

After being dazed for a while, Tang Zhaofang crawled out of the pit, and saw two basins beside them, each with a set of black clothes.

……

black?

Tang Zhao shook his hands and unfolded the clothes, and sure enough, he saw a big black spider embroidered on the corner of the clothes.

He couldn't help looking up, the man in black had been waiting for him, and said, "What? Are you still picking and choosing?"

Tang Zhao took a deep breath, dried his whole body, and hurriedly changed his clothes.In any case, the material of this dress is really good, and it feels light and silky to wear.

After wearing it, Tang Zhao only felt that he had merged with the dark Black Spider Villa.

As soon as he came out, he saw Yuan Qing.

Yuan Qing was talking with another woman under the big mulberry tree in the courtyard.

It was a younger girl, wearing a goose-yellow dress, fresh and tender like a spring rapeseed.

The Black Spider Villa is so lacking in other colors, Tang Zhao couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The girl may be undersized and shorter than Yuan Qing. From Tang Zhao's point of view, half of her face can be seen, but she is a round face like a dumpling, with exquisite and small features, except for a pair of eyes Curved, as if smiling, squinting to see the pupils, looking lazy.

In addition to her light yellow dress, there is a belt around her waist that is eye-catching. The orange striped belt is knotted at the back of the waist, and it is tied into a big one-sided bow. Seen from the side, the knot circle is exaggerated. In any case can not be ignored.

After a few more glances, the girl seemed to have sensed something, turned her head and smiled at him.

This smile cannot be said to be amazing, but it is very kind and contagious, Tang Zhao couldn't help but smile along with it.

At this time, Yuan Qing also noticed him, her eyes lit up, and she cheered, "Not bad, you are so handsome, you are so suitable for wearing black."

She put down the girl and walked over, with a satisfied expression on her face, she said, "How is it? How do you feel wearing this dress?"

Tang Zhaodao: "It's pretty good. The clothes are so light, but still quite warm."

He really thought so, although he only wore muslin clothes at his best, but the best silk was soft and light like this.

Yuan Qing said: "Of course it's light, it's mixed with spider silk."

Tang Zhao exclaimed, "Is this clothes made of spider silk?"

Yuan Qing tutted his tongue and said, "You think it's beautiful. The black jade spider silk we have here is so valuable, and it can't be exchanged for ten times its weight in gold. Do you think you are the owner of our villa? It would be good to mix it with a little bit."

Tang Zhao touched his sleeves, if he didn't want to look like a spider, he could really feel the preciousness of this outfit.

Yuan Qing said: "The more you look at it, the more suitable this set is, maybe it's better to change into pure spider silk. If you have this chance...if you can survive this time. You follow that woman, be bold, Think of it as a trip back to the Palace of the King of Hell."
