I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 131 Peach Blossom Beauty Makeup ([-])

At dawn, the heavy snow finally stopped.

Gu Buquan moved his body, it seemed that it wasn't so cold anymore, but it still felt a little stuffy.

She slowly opened her eyes, looked around, and found that she was not in the earth niche where she lived before, but a hut filled with aroma.

A pink palace lantern reflected the whole room like a dream, and above her head was a pink curtain, with peach blossom strings hanging on the curtain, peach blossom blessings on the windows, and a pot of peach blossoms growing on the window sill, Like the peach blossoms on the cliffs, they are blooming out of season.

She fell asleep on a warm couch covered with thick animal skins, Sun Xiaokong squatted beside her obediently, nibbling wild fruits, and Gui Xiaobao still fell asleep peacefully.

There was also a plate of pastries on the table, which seemed to be reserved for her.

"It's a fool!"

She jumped off the warm couch in surprise, only to find that the whole room is not square, but shaped like a gossip, and the door is just a wooden board nailed to the brick wall.

She ran to push the window again, and it turned out that the window was painted on the wall, so lifelike that it was almost unreal.

The only truth in this room is the pot of peach blossoms.

"Am I still dreaming?"

She looked left and right, but there was no sign of Ling An, so she put her finger in her mouth and bit it.

pain.

She grabbed Sun Xiaokong's hand and took a bite, and Sun Xiaokong squeaked.

In this way, it is not a dream.

The bronze mirror of the dressing table reflected her face, a pink peach blossom was painted on her forehead at some point, she wore the same hair style as Mrs. Pei, and she was wearing the same clothes as Mrs. Pei.

She was in a panic, in such a secret room, she had the feeling of being sealed in a coffin like a mountain peach.

Who saved her from the brink of freezing to death, but why trapped her here?
Her intuition told her that it was not Ling An.

She returned to the couch, closed her eyes and tried to calm her thoughts, then raised her eyes and looked around again.

His eyes fell on the pot of peach blossoms.

The flowers bloom extremely brilliantly and are so beautiful, but no matter how bewitching the flowers are, without sufficient sunlight and air, it is impossible to bloom so brightly.

Therefore, it must be well cared for from time to time, and the care method is different from ordinary peach blossoms, so that it will bloom in this mid-winter season.

"In that case, I'll wait for him to come."

She was no longer restless, picked up the pastry and ate it with big mouthfuls, then returned to the warm couch with her eyes closed and waited, a different fragrance hit her, and she and Sun Xiaokong fell asleep again, unaware that the bed under her body was shaking slightly. to move.

I don't know how long it took, but when she woke up again, the place she was in had changed, this time there was no warm couch, but a place that was lit with thick sandalwood and placed many memorial tablets, a place that was a bit eerie .

It can be seen from the memorial tablets that this should be the ancestral hall for worshiping ancestors in Taozhuang.

In the middle of the ancestral hall stands a statue of an armored warrior riding a tall horse with a big knife in his hand. Do you think this is the legendary king?
However, why does she look more like a valiant and heroic woman?

It was dusk, and the weather was fine after the snow stopped. Gu Buquan breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up, there is a blade peak towering into the clouds, and a clump of bright red slanting out, which is as stunning as blood under the reflection of the sky.

Those peach blossoms bloomed more brilliantly after the snow stopped. The bright red petals are like palms praying to the sky, or like open red lips asking the sky, they are pointing at the mouth that is about to be drawn. The sky of the curtain is warm and desperate.

The cliff is lonely and empty, overlooking the world.

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Buquan realized that a woman with loose long hair was sitting on the patio with her back facing her. That back made her feel familiar.

"Peach blossom, the flower of sorrow on the road to the underworld, hopeless love, the omen of death and the call of hell, but I prefer to call it the flower of evil, at least, it is out of season, looking down on the world with sin and triumph, but the world can do nothing about it. "

The woman said coldly with a slightly hoarse voice.

Gu Buquan didn't know how to answer, and he didn't dare to approach her rashly, so he could only stand behind her and look around quietly.

The courtyard is also in the shape of gossip, which reminds her of when she and Ling An first came to Taozhuang, she saw a gossip mirror hanging in front of every door.

At this moment, the woman in front of her is like a demon appearing in the demon mirror.

"Tell me, these peach blossoms bloom every year, can they get the answer from heaven?"

The woman suddenly turned around and asked.

"Mrs. Pei!" Gu Buquan backed away a few steps in shock, opened his mouth for a while before closing it.

The woman was not moved by Gu Buquan's panic, she just turned back slowly and continued to look at the sky.

Gu Buquan tried his best to calm down and walked up.

The woman sat on the chair, her gaze was dull, the pot of peach blossoms that Gu Buquan had seen before was resting on her lap, the pink color of the flowers contrasted with her increasingly pale and sickly complexion.

She has exactly the same face as Mrs. Pei, with peach blossoms painted on her forehead, but one is elegant and delicate, and the other is pale and sickly. Gu Buquan can't be sure whether she is Mrs. Pei or not.

If she is Mrs. Pei, then who is the one who died in Pei's house?She checked it herself and was sure Mrs. Pei was dead.

"Are you Mrs. Pei?" Gu Buquan asked boldly.

"Yes, and no." The woman answered inexplicably.

"Uh...well, did you go to the coffin shop to order the coffin?" Gu Buquan had to ask in another way, after thinking about it, he asked again, "Have you ever been to the coffin shop in Luoyanpo?"

The woman raised her pair of phoenix eyes to stare at Gu Buquan, which made her feel terrified.

She still didn't give the answer Gu Buquan wanted.

"In the past, I always pointed to the peach blossoms protruding from the tree on the cliff and asked Pei Yun. The peach blossoms bloom every year, and I ask the sky every year. When will they get the answer from the sky? How do you guess his answer?"

Gu Buquan shook his head.

"He said, whether they open or not, the sky is always blue, the cliffs are always steep, people are always running around for food and porridge, and so are you and me. One day the gates of heaven or hell will open Kai, before that, it is best to stay with the one you love, even if you are busy for the one you love, it is worth it."

Gu Buquan was taken aback when he heard that, where is this going?Horses and cows are irrelevant, okay?
"He said he could do everything for me, but I asked him to cut down the peach tree for me, but he didn't dare, he didn't even dare to go to the cliff. He said it's best to stay with the one he loves forever, but I I was sick, so he sent me back to Taozhuang to stay with my sister."

As the woman spoke, she suddenly grabbed Gu Buquan's skirt, and whispered in her ear, "Say, should they die?"

Gu Buquan stared at the woman, but did not answer.

But she already understood that this person who looks exactly like Mrs. Pei is Mrs. Pei's younger sister.

The woman let go of her hand, sat down again, and said slowly, "I should have cut off their heads and brought them back to Taozhuang, but there is nothing more refreshing than the revenge of letting them kill each other. In our Taozhuang, whoever betrays his oath deserves to die."

"Only I know that Pei Yun not only likes to bite pens, but also likes to lick them. And only I know that my sister doesn't like to wear finger cots when playing the piano. They didn't die unjustly at all."

The more Gu Buquan listened, the more creepy he felt.

Although the Pei couple died of cannibalism, Mrs. Pei's own sister was the one behind the scenes, but she didn't do it herself, and she didn't even leave any clues. Even legally speaking, there was nothing she could do about it. It's like not being able to convict Shantao.

The strong wind at dusk rolled up a dead leaf and fell on the woman's body, but the woman didn't respond. She sat like a withered zombie.

Gu Buquan squatted down in front of her, and gently brushed away the fallen leaves. At this moment, she found a tiny hole in the woman's sleeve, which seemed to be torn by something.

The shape of the hole is roughly the same as the triangular cloth left on the Shantao coffin.

She reached out and touched the woman's sleeve to confirm the fabric.

He already understood in his heart that the one who sealed Shantao into the coffin was the woman in front of him.

She froze, stared at the woman's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's the flower rattle?"

"Are you asking the girl who wants money but not life?" the woman asked with a chuckle.

"I led Shantao to the coffin shop. She thought I was a ghost and fainted from fright. It took me a lot of effort to get her into the coffin. Before I nailed the coffin lid, I suddenly heard someone coming in. The voice, I had no choice but to hide in the coffin and listen to the woman counting the silver while giggling."

"Later, I heard someone coming again, it was a group of people. She also hid in a coffin, but her silver bag was caught by the lid of the coffin. I think she must have tried to tear the silver bag desperately, but the result Found by those people, and then taken away."

Gu Buquan secretly sighed, ah, Hua Rattle is going to be broken by her money-greedy heart after all.

The woman continued, "They all left, and the coffin shop was quiet again. I came out and continued to nail the lid of the coffin. The little girl just woke up, crying and shouting and beating the coffin desperately, which made me flustered and almost hit myself. His hands and sleeves were torn by nails."

The woman spoke lightly, as if she was telling a story unrelated to herself, but raised her hand to look at the tear on the sleeve, and sighed regretfully.

Gu Buquan only felt that his scalp was numb. How could such a beautiful young woman talk about murder so lightly?
No matter what, we must leave here and find Ling An first.

"It's time for me to leave. Thank you Madam for saving my life. To be honest, if it wasn't for Madam, I would have froze to death in the land niche as a fake land grandmother."

As Gu Buquan said, he bowed deeply to the woman, Sun Xiaokong imitated the example, and bowed desperately with his hands crossed.

Unexpectedly, the woman snorted coldly, and said quietly: "Farewell? Can you go?"
