Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 94: Deep Courtyard (3)
Wang Zijin thought about it, and suddenly guessed a possibility, he hurriedly said: "Liu'er, let's go to see your mother together, do you remember the way?"

That woman didn't come to get the medicine, but added condiments to the medicine?Killing things!
Following Liu'er's instructions, he quickly found a big room with dimly lit candles, and it was the only room with candles in the big house, which shows that his wife is extremely important to Xiao He.

The door of the room was slightly open, and there was a soft voice, he put Liu'er on the ground, and said to her: "Liu'er, be good, don't run around, brother will be back in a while."

After finishing speaking, he quietly looked in through the window, and saw a woman in brocade clothes and a maid in emerald green dress serving the lady on the bed to drink medicine.

I can't see the face of the woman in brocade clothes clearly, but I can only see a slender figure with cloudy hair, probably a beauty, but Xiao He's face is not very clear, have you forgotten what she looks like?

"Madam, drink this medicine quickly, it will be bad when it gets cold." The lady in brocade clothes said, she picked up the medicine bowl and was about to hand it to the lady on the bed.

Wang Zijin only felt that this matter was very bad. In his eyes, the brown, steaming medicinal soup was no different from death.

Never!In desperation, he pushed open the door and broke in.

The two people beside the bed were all shocked when they saw him. The woman in brocade clothes that the prince came to see was dignified and lovely, but her eyes were a bit more seductive than Fei Hong's.

"Who are you?" she asked sharply.

Wang Zijin ignored her, grabbed the medicine bowl and fell to the ground.

The beautiful woman couldn't help but change her face when she saw it, and said quite imposingly: "How can the governor's mansion allow you to make a fool of yourself? Xiao He, hurry up and ask someone to drive this madman out."

Hearing the order, Xiao He rushed out the door, Wang Zijin finally found Xiao He, how could he let her go so easily, and grabbed her, "Xiao He, come with me quickly, I have something to ask you."

Xiao He screamed in shock, no resemblance to the white-clothed girl in Wang Zijin's memory, "You madman, I don't know you, what do you want?"

"You don't know me here, but you will know me when you leave the house. Hurry up and leave with me." He pulled Xiao He and was about to run away.

Xiao He was so frightened that she pushed Wang Zijin away with all her strength, and Wang Zijin staggered and fell on his wife's bed after being pushed by her. He tore off half of it.

He couldn't help being terrified, there was already a patient on the bed, and it was too disrespectful to put him on top of him, so he hurriedly said to the person on the bed: "I'm so sorry for being abrupt."

But there was no sound in the bed, he quickly stretched his head to look.Unexpectedly, seeing this, he frightened himself a somersault.

I saw a woman lying on the bed, her face was dark, her eyes were wide open, she didn't know how long she had been dead.

Wang Zijin screamed in fright and rushed out the door.Why is there a dead person lying on the bed?How do they call a dead man madam?

Is this mansion the heart of Xiao He?How could there be such a terrible scene in her heart?

As soon as he ran into the courtyard, he heard Liu'er calling: "Big brother, wait for me, I'm so scared."

Wang Zijin thought that her mother died at a young age, and felt very pitiful, so he hugged her and ran wildly all the way out of the vermilion lacquered gate.

I saw that the night outside was vast and dark, and it was still the winding path, and I didn't know where it led.

Wang Zijin only felt light footsteps behind him, as if a terrifying person was chasing him, he put his heart on hold, rushed into the vast and boundless unknown darkness with Liu'er in his arms.

六

Wang Zijin ran all the way with Liu'er in his arms, only to feel that the air in the night was damp and cold, and the moon hung high in the sky like a hook.

I don't know how far I ran, I saw a figure in front of me, also on my way, Wang Zijin hurriedly stopped, fearing that it was that terrible old woman again.

"Big brother, there are people ahead, let's ask for directions."

"No, we can't go, it might be a monster."

"Is it scarier than my stepmother?" Liu Er asked with her head tilted, her face innocent.

Wang Zijin looked back, the mansion was still standing lonely in the distance, everything was messed up this time, Xiao He couldn't find it, and now he fell into a dilemma again.

While hesitating, he saw the figure in the distance getting closer and closer. When he took a closer look, that person was actually walking towards him.

He quickly pulled Liu'er and said, "Let's go quickly."

Unexpectedly, the man moved very fast, and in a blink of an eye, he could see the beautiful woman in the big house wearing a brocade dress, and a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with bright red peonies, which was particularly dazzling in the night.

"My lord, can you return Liu'er to me, and don't take her away?" The woman asked the prince expressionlessly, her beautiful face showing no trace of anger.

"Who are you? Why did you take her away?" Wang Zijin was afraid, but he did not back down.

She bowed to the prince and said: "I am the concubine of the owner of this family, and Liu'er is the daughter of the main room, how can I be taken away casually?"

"Then we have to ask Liu Er if he is willing." Wang Zijin asked Liu Er with his head lowered, "Are you willing to go back with her?"

Liu Er hugged Wang Zijin's leg, looked at the beautiful woman timidly with big eyes, and shook her head slightly.

"Come on... Liu'er, be good." She stretched out a hand to tease Liu'er.

Wang Zijin hurriedly hugged Liu'er, not letting her touch her, "She doesn't want to go with you, don't you understand?"

The beautiful woman rolled her eyes suddenly, and said: "You scholar, where did you come from? You don't want to drink fine wine for toasting?" As she said, her two sleeves attacked the prince like a snake.

Wang Zijin was so frightened that he hugged Liu'er and rolled around, and finally escaped. When he raised his head again, the flowery beauty turned into a fierce ghost with blue face and fangs.

Liu'er shouted: "That's her, big brother! She ate my mother, and now she's coming to eat me..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince went to feel for the rope around his waist, but he found nothing, the rope broke at some point.Feeling anxious, he said: "Big brother can't beat her, let's run together." After saying that, he picked up Liu'er and ran for his life.

I had just run for two steps when I staggered and stumbled over something. Then I saw that the road was full of long hair, strands of black hair, climbing onto people like they were alive, trying to wrap them all up. go in.

Wang Zijin looked back, and saw the blue-faced, long-toothed evil ghost with bulging eyes and long, flower-like hair blooming on the grassland, strange and beautiful.

The beautiful hair rushed over, drowning him in a blink of an eye, the strands of hair were tightly embedded in the flesh, strangling him so much that he couldn't breathe.

Feixiao, you killed me, your stuff really never worked!

He couldn't get up in one breath, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he saw a small road, but a hundred flowers bloomed on the side of the road, colorful and beautiful, and there was a girl in red waving to him in front of him, looking graceful, it was just Shen Xing.

Wang Zijin was overjoyed, so he wanted to go towards her, and suddenly remembered what Fei Xiao said: Everyone's road to the underworld is different from what they see.

Could it be that this is his own Huangquan Road?
While he was hesitating, he felt a force pulling his hand, pulling him out of the path among the flowers.

"Zi Jin, Zi Jin, how are you doing?" Wang Zijin opened his eyes, and there was a handsome face in front of him.

Surprised in his heart, he hurriedly said, "You are here."

Looking around again, the long hair of the seductress was still all over the sky and on the ground. Fei Xiao drew out the long knife and cut off the hair with one blow, but immediately new hair came rushing in.

Fei Xiao pulled the prince up and said, "Go! I can't use my strength even here."

"Hey, what about Liu'er?" Wang Zijin asked anxiously.

But Fei Xiao was looking at him with a smile, "Zi Jin, good job, I have already sent her back, so I'm missing you."

Wang Zijin was confused, did he do well?He didn't even find Xiao He, how did he do so well?

While hesitating, I saw the temptress rushing towards them again, her hair floating in the air, covering the shadow of the moon like a dark cloud, it was very scary.

"Be careful, Scarlet."

"I know." Fei Xiao slashed back, cutting off the long hair that was about to attack the upper door.

"Ignore her, let's go."

"Let's go? Where are you going?" The prince entered and saw only empty grasslands around him. How could there be any way out?
Fei Xiao muttered something, and the long knife rose into the air. Fei Xiao jumped onto the back of the knife, lifted Wang Zijin's collar, and shouted: "Get up."

Wang Zijin only felt himself galloping in the air, and saw Fei Xiao leading him, controlling a long knife, straight to the sky.

The banshee below shouted: "It's not so easy." The hair on the ground seemed to be alive, bundles and strands, like ten thousand arrows, straight towards the backs of the two.

When Fei Xiao saw her, one hand grew suddenly, and her nails were like steel knives. She turned her claws and cut off her hair.Seeing that the broken hair was inextricably linked and fluttering down from the air, the prince couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, if you want to fight with me, wait another few hundred years." Fei Xiao lifted the prince vigorously and said, "Zi Jin, I'm about to go back, hold on tight."

Wang Zijin looked up and saw that the two of them were flying straight towards the moon, the soft light was swaying down, and the thin light particles fluttered and danced around him, as if they had entered a fairyland.

A ray of light entered his eyes, and he quickly blocked it with his hand. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a candle flame dancing in front of his eyes, and he was already sitting on the bed in the inn.

Seven

Knowing that his soul has finally returned, Wang Zijin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Suddenly remembered something, he quickly asked: "Fei Xiao, where is Xiao He? How is she?"

Fei Xiao looked at Zi Jin, smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Wang Zijin turned his head and saw Xiao He sitting beside him, with a beautiful smile on her face, looking at him reluctantly.

The two fingers intertwined, even though the silk handkerchief had been untied, they still refused to let go of each other's hands.

"Xiao He, I'm sorry, I didn't get your memory back..." Wang Zijin said dejectedly.

Unexpectedly, Xiao He smiled and said: "I remembered everything, thank you, Mr. Wang."

"What's going on here?" Prince Jin wondered.

"Zi Jin, do you remember the girl you've been holding in your arms?" Fei Xiao asked.

"Liu'er? Of course I remember." What's the matter with Liu'er?

The girl said delicately: "My lord, I forgot my name wrongly, that Xiaohe is my maid, and I am Liu'er."

"Huh?" Wang Zijin looked at her bright face, and thought of Liu'er's beautiful little face just now, as if she was indeed a person.

Liu'er lowered her head and said worriedly: "I am the daughter of the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture. For some reason, I got seriously ill and gradually lost consciousness..."

"Is that concubine going to harm you?"

"No, the world you just entered is all illusions. The concubine is just like a ghost in Liu'er's heart, not necessarily so in person." Fei Xiao shook her head and said.

"But I'm so scared. Someone at home really hurt me..." Liu'er blinked her eyes wide, tears streaming down her face, "I dare not go back, and I can't go back..."

"Do you know who that person is?" Wang Zijin said, but a pair of soft shoes embroidered with red peonies appeared in his mind.

Liu'er didn't answer, and looked at Wang Zijin, both of them were tacit understanding.

"Liu'er, it's not clear yet, so don't jump to conclusions. If you go back, the person who hurt you will show up."

"But, I'm so scared. When I get there, no one will protect me..."

Feixiao stretched out a long finger, pointed at the center of Liu'er's eyebrows and said, "Don't be afraid, we will help you find the villain."

Liu'er looked at Feixiao gratefully, "Thank you, my lord..."

Before finishing a sentence, the person disappeared out of thin air with a whimper.

"Where did Liu'er go?" Wang Zijin exclaimed, only to feel that his hands were empty, and there was no more tender catkin, and he couldn't help being disappointed.

"She has returned to her body." Fei Xiao frowned, "However, this matter is a bit tricky. I took her back just now, and it was very laborious. It seems that someone is blocking me..."

"What? Is it a monster? What's the problem?" the prince asked.

"No, it's not a monster..." Feixiao shook her head again and again, "I don't have a monster aura, that's why it's more difficult. Haven't you heard that the most dangerous thing in this world is the human heart!"

When the prince heard this, he was even more worried. The person hiding in the dark is a mortal with no trace to be found. How to find him out?

"Zi Jin, tomorrow we will find a matchmaker and go to Governor Yang's house to propose marriage." Fei Xiao suddenly looked at Wang Zijin with malicious intentions, and said something surprising.

"Propose marriage? Why propose marriage?" Wang Zijin was so startled that his jaw almost hit the ground.

Fei Xiao smiled at him like a spring flower blooming, "Naturally, I want to attract the murderer."

"Huh?" Wang Zijin was at a loss, why did the marriage proposal and the murderer get hooked again?
Fei Xiao loves to play tricks the most. After working half the night, she ran to drink and eat chicken under the lamp with a smile on her face. Prince Jin was lying on the bed exhaustedly. Looking at his appearance, he will not know anything until tomorrow.

Eight

Early the next morning, Fei Xiao was about to go out with Wang Zijin's birthday horoscope.

"Why me? Aren't you more suitable?" Wang Zijin said with restraint, his heart pounding wildly.

"I look so similar to Liu Er, wouldn't it frighten their family to propose marriage?"

Wang Zijin swayed like a big girl getting into a sedan chair, letting Fei Xiao take away her birth date, but he was worried in his heart, "How could the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture like me as a mediocre son-in-law? Will take care of me."

"That's not necessarily the case. Look at Liu'er's appearance. I'm afraid she won't be alive soon. How can anyone propose a marriage?"

"Ah? If they really agreed, wouldn't it be a big deal?" Wang Zijin's face turned red immediately.

With a smirk on her face, Fei Xiao squinted at him and said, "Most people can't get on with such a good marriage. What's wrong? When the time comes to make the fake come true, it's over?"

Wang Zijin was taken aback when he heard this, "Don't scare me, I can't bear to face two identical faces every day..."

"Wouldn't it be better to change one at that time?" Fei Xiao was still smiling.

"How to change one?" Wang Zijin couldn't help wondering.

But seeing that Fei Xiao stopped talking, she simply shut up, anyway, he was full of ideas, so he didn't need to worry.

After that, I didn't see Fei Xiao again for a whole day, so I don't know what he was busy with.

Wang Zijin lay bored on the bed in the inn, thinking about Liu'er, wondering what would happen to her when she went back, and hoped that she would get well soon.

As night fell, Fei Xiao came back mysteriously.Wang Zijin hurriedly asked, "Do you want to go to Governor Yang's house?"

Fei Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, I just went to see how Liu'er is doing."

As he said that, he took another writing brush and stuck it on Prince Jin's head, and cast an invisibility spell, "Let's go, everything must be careful."

It was nearly fifteen that night, the moon was full like a disk, and the cold moonlight sprinkled a piece of hoarfrost on the ground.

"Fei Xiao, do you know where Governor Yang's house is?" Wang Zijin walked on the street, feeling strange everywhere.

"I know, but when I get inside, I still have to rely on you."

"Rely on me? How do you say that?" Wang Zijin couldn't help wondering.

Fei Xiao blinked at him, "I don't have any memory of seeing Liu'er. Asking me to find a mortal in such a large house is like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Does that house really exist?" When Wang Zijin thought of the mansion standing on the barren wilderness, he felt lifeless, oppressive and gloomy, and horrible memories flooded him.

"That's right, we're here..." Feixiao pointed at the folding fan, and saw a mansion standing on the street with a scarlet door, exactly the same as in the illusion.

The difference is that in the bright lights of Yangzhou, this dignified and quaint house is majestic and majestic, but not the slightest spooky and gloomy.

"How do we get in? We won't have to pry open the door again, right?" The prince entered and saw that the house was like an official residence, and it was estimated that there would be guards on duty inside the door.

"Of course not." Fei Xiao shook her head, took Wang Zijin's hand and walked towards the brick wall of the mansion.

"Are you going to go through the wall again? It's so sad..." He just protested, when he smelled a smell of mud, and his body seemed to be covered with mud, and the dust seemed to seep into the depths of his body, which was very painful.

"Zi Jin, let's go." Wang Zijin heard Fei Xiao calling him, and quickly opened his eyes, only to see that he was already standing in the courtyard.

A road paved with bluestone slabs leads directly to the hall, as seen in the illusion.

"Zi Jin, which way should we go?" Fei Xiao turned to ask him.

Wang Zijin quickly took the lead and ran to the front to lead the way.

The two walked to the corridor with ease, and there was no gloomy in the corridor. The flowers and trees were scattered beside it, and the dim candlelight swayed from the window cracks, making it look warm and peaceful.
