Rebirth of the silly girl Chengfei

Chapter 20

Xiao Sesu pretended to talk to Luyi, staring at it from the corner of his eye, and saw the black shadow standing where the window could be seen, sneaking around.

This person seems to be from those nights...

Xiao Sesu hurriedly left the window, and said to Xiao Zui: "Sister San, let's stand by the door for a while."

Xiao Zui agreed, and the two pushed open the door, standing under the lintel, looking at the red plum blossoms in the light snow, the fragrance was at ease.

Xiao Sesu could see clearly, the black figure changed position again and stared at them.

Xiao Zui suddenly discovered it.

"You!" Xiao Zui said in surprise, "It's you! It's you!"

Sure enough, it was this person who had corrupted the third sister's innocence.

Xiao Sesu subconsciously wanted to call someone, but with a light leap, the man jumped onto the wall and hid in the dark night.

What is he trying to do?
Xiao Sesu thought for a while, called in a few guards outside, picked two out, and asked them to guard Xiao Zui's courtyard, then bid farewell to Xiao Zui, and went back to Qiu Seyuan.

The night was thick as ink.

Under the cover of the night, without anyone noticing, the black figure climbed out of the courtyard wall of the Xiao Mansion and galloped along a path.

There are no watchmen on the small road, and it is so dark that you can hardly see your fingers.

But suddenly, a warm orange light was lit in front of him. Someone held the light and stood at the end of the road, blocking the way of the man in black.

"Who are you?" The man in black asked in a low voice.

The person carrying the lantern chuckled: "Shanzong."

The man in black gasped, then realized something, and looked behind Shanzong.

Through the light, he saw a smoky gray figure standing tall and tall.Yu Wangyan had his back to him, with his hands behind his hands, the bottom of his slightly raised robe was covered with snow seeds, and his black hair was like polished black jade.

He turned half of his face, and said coldly: "This king knows who you are, and I can guess who asked you to hinder my marriage."

"King Jin..." The man in black tensed up.

"Don't be nervous, this king knows your difficulties. If you didn't feel ashamed of Miss Xiao San, you wouldn't venture out of the house at night just to see Miss Xiao San."

The man in black was silent, and replied: "King Jin's hands and eyes are open to the sky."

"What's the use of hands and eyes... After all, it's nothing more than seeing your loved one die under the bludgeon with your own eyes, and you're deeply saddened."

Yu Wangyan turned around and cast a blizzard-like cold gaze on the face of the man in black.

"No matter how hands and eyes can reach the sky, it's not as good as covering the sky with one hand."

The man in black trembled violently, only feeling a sharp coldness spread over his whole body.King Jin, it turns out that this person actually wanted to...

"King Jin is not afraid of me speaking out?" the man in black asked.

Yu Wangyan said coldly: "Maybe in the future, when you and this king are still united, why should you cut your own way? What you did to Miss Xiao San, I will also keep it a secret for you."

"It seems that I have no right to refuse."

Yu Wangyan's eyes flashed fiercely, "You can refuse, but the end will definitely be worse than you imagined."

The man in black sighed mockingly, and cupped his hands, "Thank you King Jin, I didn't hear anything tonight."

"The king didn't see anything either."

After the words fell, the man in black quickly passed Yu Wangyan.

The two passed by each other, and snow seeds flew in the quiet street.The north wind raised Yu Wangyan's black hair, and a thin layer of snow seeds fell on the hair, which was extremely crystal clear...

In the past few days of the twelfth lunar month, the light snow in Shunjing has never stopped.

A dense layer of snow has already accumulated on the ground of Qiuse Courtyard.

Luyi carried a broom and swept the snow into the flower garden.

Xiao Seshu stood under the lintel, looking at the invisible place in the distance.The atmosphere of the New Year is approaching, and there are firecrackers coming from there.

After many days of hard work, her dragonfly and lotus leaf embroidery was finally completed. Xiao Sesu signed her and Lu Yi's embroidery, and went into the house to drink some hot tea. At this time, she was approached by the maid and said that the housekeeper had invited her , to check the finalized dowry.

Xiao Sesu took two guards over.

Except for Xiao Ke, the butler is the busiest in the entire Xiao mansion, especially for the bleak dowry, the butler's face is already full of tiredness.

He led Xiao Se, shuttling through one gorgeous red box after another, opening one at random.

"Miss Fourth please examine these gold and silver jewelry."

"En." Xiao Sesu agreed, seeing a beautiful crystal bracelet, she reached out to pick it up.

But suddenly, a faint smell penetrated her nose.The smell came from the box, Xiao Sesu's hands froze, and he quickly took it back.

There are poisonous centipedes in this box!

And a lot!

Immediately, the word "poison" appeared in Xiao Sesu's mind. Who tampered with the dowry to poison her?

Is it the butler, or who?
"Miss Si, what's the matter with you?" the housekeeper asked.

Xiao Sesu suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Niao Niao! I'm going to catch Niao Niao! Butler, please help me count it first!" Then he ran out.

Running out of the warehouse, taking a deep breath of air, Xiao Sesu secretly hid by the window, staring at the housekeeper's every move.

She saw that the butler was really checking the box for her.

It seems that the butler doesn't know that there are many poisonous centipedes in it. Who did it?

Before it was too late, the housekeeper's hand was bitten by a poisonous centipede.

He screamed, fell to the ground with his hands covered, and shouted in fear: "Come on! Come on!"

Soon a housekeeper came over, saw a few centipedes crawling out of the box, was frightened, and hurriedly dragged the housekeeper away.Some maidservants rushed to inform Xiao Ke, and some went to call the doctor of Xiao's family.

Xiao Sesu pretended to be afraid, and followed him, inevitably feeling a little sorry.Just now, in order to confirm the suspicion of the housekeeper, I just let him be bitten, and I don't know what kind of poisonous centipede it is, will it be fatal...

Recalling the scent he smelled just now, Xiao Sesu thought of the past.

I remember that when Zhang Jinse's biological mother was still alive, she once told her that she had inherited a mysterious talent. The sense of smell alone was different from that of ordinary people, and she could smell all kinds of insects.

Xiao Sesu didn't know who her biological mother was, but now that she thought about it, this supernatural ability was a bit like the Gu technique of the Xiang Kingdom.

After returning to Qiuseyuan to rest until the afternoon, Xiao Sesu finally felt relieved when he heard that the housekeeper was fine.

After eating some refreshments, and carrying Lu Yi, wandered around Xiao's mansion to digest food.Passing by the waterscape pool of Xiao's inner house, there was the sound of an ocarina.

The timbre of the ocarina is somewhat similar to that of the Xun, the deeper it is, the more resentful and admiring, weeping and complaining like the Xun.But at this moment, although the timbre of the ocarina is low, the tune is relaxed and cheerful. Xiao Sesu is a little curious that there can be such a heartfelt brisk emotion in the deep courtyard of the Xiao Mansion.

As he approached, he saw a small figure leaning against the stone arch bridge, blowing happily.

It turned out to be Miss Fifth.

"Fourth sister, it's you." Fifth Miss found Xiao Sesu, and raised her head with a bright smile.

Xiao Sesel said, "Fifth Sister plays really well."

Miss Wu waved her hand and said: "It's just half-baked, and the ocarina is not difficult to learn! But after several years of playing, I still can't learn the level of Mrs. He from Mrs. Zhang Taifu's family. I heard from my mother that Mrs. He played the song "Hua Xiangrong" back then. ", I don't know how many infatuated men and women have drunk Shunjing."

Xiao Sesel smiled, and there was a little bitterness in the smile.

Mrs. He of Zhang Taifu's family is Zhang Jinse's biological mother.He passed away early, and Zhang Jinse left the ocarina that he played all the year round, but Zhang Jinse found a place to bury it indiscriminately, and didn't care about it.

Xiao Sesel smiled and said, "Fifth Sister, thank you." Thank you for reminding me of this.

Xiao Sesu decided that he wanted to retrieve that ocarina, which was a relic of his mother. Although it might reveal his identity, he still had to retrieve it and keep it carefully.

In the evening, Xiao Sesu forced Luyi to change clothes and hair buns with her, dressed up as a servant girl, left Qiu Seyuan, and went out of Xiao's mansion through the small gate.

It went very well.

Following the route in memory, Xiao Sesu groped into a bamboo forest behind Zhang's mansion.

I remember that in the year when the ocarina was buried, a purple bamboo bloomed in the bamboo forest, and every green bamboo was dotted with white flowers the next day.

Ocarina was buried under the purple bamboo tree.

After searching for a long time, I found the purple bamboo.Xiao Sesu dug the mud with his hands, digging out things little by little.

Fortunately, in order to prevent the ocarina from being eroded by the soil, it was wrapped in an oilcloth bag.Opening the bag, there is still a piece of yellowed paper inside, wrapped in an ocarina.

Only now did Xiao Sesu realize that there seemed to be faint writing on the yellow paper.

Take out the ocarina, there are clear and shallow cracks on the surface of the material, the material seems to be horns, it looks very old.Xiao Sesu pressed the ocarina to his chest cherishingly, spread the paper on the ground with one hand, and saw the words on the paper by the moonlight.

It's sheet music.

Tried humming the tune, the melody was weird, not like the style of Dayao.

Xiao Sesu was born with an excellent musical talent, she blew according to one of the tunes, and was surprised to sense that there were insects in the bamboo forest that were about to move and gathered towards her.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, insects burst out of the ground, full of scorpions and centipedes.Xiao Sesu thought of the legendary Hunan Gu art, some Gu masters used musical instruments to summon insects, they called it "Insect flute", I think the ocarina left by my mother was that.

Carefully install the worm flute, and return home in a bleak way.

The sky in the twelfth lunar month is extremely dark, the sky is full of blue, there is no moon and stars tonight.

The soft down on the cloak blocked the north wind, but on the way back, he had to pass through a deserted alley, which made Xiao Sesu feel chills in his heart.

Walking into the alley, the surroundings are as quiet as a cemetery, only the sound of humming echoes between the stone walls on both sides.

Without any warning, a person came out ahead, obviously a hooligan wandering around in the middle of the night, and asked with a malicious smile, "Where are you going, little sister?"

Xiao Shushu shuddered and couldn't help backing away.

The hooligan was tall, with greedy eyes shining, "Where does my little sister want to go? Why don't you spend some time with the old man tonight?"

Seeing the big man approaching step by step, his cold heart was suffocated by the coldness.

On winter nights, in remote streets and alleys, she knew that no one would come to rescue her, so she could only get out of trouble by herself!
With an idea, Xiao Sesu quickly took out the ocarina, and played out a section of the score just now from memory.Blowing back while blowing, nervousness caused her to press a few wrong notes, but she still tried her best to maintain her sanity, watching the black shadow in front of her gradually envelop herself, and stretched out a pair of big dirty hands...

Almost at the last moment, the hooligan suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.He saw two poisonous scorpions lying on his hands, obviously they stung him.

The poison spread extremely quickly, and the hooligan was in unbearable pain all over his body, and he cried like a ghost while clutching his hands.

Xiao Sesu quickly passed him and ran back to Xiao's mansion.
