Chapter 77 Drunk Flower Yin (1)

As soon as you set foot in Jiaoling Town, you can see banana trees wrapped in green skirts everywhere, subtle and affectionate, teasing passers-by.It started to rain lightly, and a few children outside the hotel were wearing banana leaf hats, laughing and running in the rain. When I saw it, I secretly liked it. Apart from the ugly color, this banana leaf hat is really not inferior to any oil paper umbrella.

I originally came here to track down Xiuhong's whereabouts. Now I inquired about the location of her house at the hotel in the town. Since it was dinner time, it was not easy to go to the door to disturb her, so I stayed in the hotel first. I'm sorry, I've troubled the shop owner to cook a bowl of noodles for me, and I'm going to visit the winery after dinner.

The shop owner brought me the noodles and asked me, "Do you want chopped green onions, sir?"

I replied: "Yes."

So the shop owner shook his hand and sprinkled the green onion hidden in his palm into my bowl.He was twisting a bit too much chopped green onion in his hand, and when he retracted his hand, he sprinkled some chopped green onion on my trouser leg.

I shook my feet to shake off the scallions, and the shop owner said with a smile, "Mr. Jiao is laughing at me. Some customers eat scallions, but some don't. So when I serve noodles, I'm used to hiding some in the palm of my hand, and let the guests decide whether they want it or not."

"The owner is thoughtful." I complimented him, and just as I was about to start eating, he put another jug ​​of wine on my table.Since I am a city patrol horse, when I stayed in various stores, the owner of the store took good care of me, and I received a lot of favors with the audacity.I thought it was a gift from him, so I quickly thanked him, but the shop owner said: "I didn't entertain Mr., someone left a note in the back kitchen, asking me to serve it."

I am not familiar with the place in Jiaoling Town, so why would someone leave me a note to entertain me, I was startled and hurriedly said: "Please tell the host who is so kind, so I can go to thank you."

The owner of the shop shook his head and said: "There is no payment on the paper. This person probably wanted to bother Mr. to deliver the letter, but it was inconvenient to show up, so he left the letter and money in the back kitchen, paid for Mr.'s accommodation and meals, and has the right to deliver the letter." capital." As he spoke, he handed me a note and a letter in his hand.

I was about to take the letter, but the shop owner slipped his hand and slipped the letter past my hand.The letter seemed to be unsealed, and a piece of paper fell out of it when it fell from mid-air, and spread out on the ground.The shop owner hurriedly apologized to me, and was about to bend down to pick up the letter, but I picked up both the letter and the envelope before him.

What fell out of the envelope was a portrait of a middle-aged man, painted vividly and lifelike, but the paper was a little wrinkled, so the person in the painting looked a little frowning, as if he was dissatisfied.The owner of the store watched from the side, and couldn't help saying: "Hey, isn't this the owner of the winery?"

It turned out that what the sender wanted me to send to the winery was a portrait of the owner.I felt strange, so I took the note from the owner of the shop and took a look. I saw a line of beautiful handwriting on the note, which read: "I have a letter that I want to send to the winery. It is inconvenient to show up. Please check in today." The city horse will deliver it on your behalf. I will offer you a certain amount of money for sending the letter, and ask the owner of the shop to entertain you on your behalf. Thank you also."

Judging from the handwriting, it should be a woman's handwriting.It's really weird, I just arrived in Jiaoling Town, how could someone leave a letter for me to deliver, she knew I was going to the winery?
The owner of the store took out a few dollars from his pocket at this time, handed it over and said, "Please take it away for sending the letter."

I hurriedly said with a smile: "Since the messenger wants the owner to entertain him, he will have to trouble the owner for a few days, and the money will naturally be placed in the store."

The owner of the store did not refuse: "Okay, then wait until you leave the store, and then return the remaining money to the gentleman."

After I nodded my thanks to him, the shop owner put the money back in his pocket and went off to do his own business.I waited for him to leave before looking at the letter. Seeing that there was no words on the envelope, I put the portrait back in the envelope and put it on the table. The noodles are finished.

After eating noodles, the rain stopped, and I waited for a while, guessing in my heart that it was past meal time, and then got up and went to the winery with the letter.When I walked out of the hotel, I suddenly thought that the note was written in the handwriting of a woman. Could it be that this letter was left by the embroidered screen?She and Yang Siyuan cheated Hushan by feigning death. Naturally, it is impossible to show up in front of people again. I am afraid that she will leave her hometown and will not return until the day Hushan is destroyed.

Jiaoling Town is where Xiuping's natal family lives, so it is reasonable for her to come back and inform her family before she leaves.But if this is the case, why don't you just go home and ask me to send a portrait after you have already arrived in the town?Thinking about it this way, I immediately excluded Xiuping from my mind. I couldn't think of who the sender would be for a while, so I didn't care about it. Anyway, my duty is to deliver the letter, so I just deliver the letter.

The winery is at the end of the town, and you can actually find it without asking anyone, because as soon as you get close, the aroma of wine greets guests instead of the owner.Guided by the scent of wine, I came to the door of the winery and knocked on the door knocker. Soon a guy came to open the door and asked me what I wanted to do.The letter in my hand could just be used as an excuse, so I told him that I was a city patrol horse, and I had a letter to send to the owner of the estate, so I asked him to introduce him.

While talking, my legs suddenly went limp for no reason, and I almost fell to the ground.The guy was about the same age as me, and hurriedly reached out to support me.After I stood up, I was a little dazed, not knowing why my legs suddenly became weak.Fortunately, the guy didn't ask me, he helped me up straight and asked me to go in with him.

The winery is a courtyard with two entrances. The first entrance is the place for wine making. There are household utensils and tools for wine making all around. Each one looks like a drunk soaked in wine, exuding a strong smell of alcohol. across the yard.The second entrance is the courtyard where people live. As soon as I entered with my buddy, I saw a large clump of banana trees, decorating the courtyard with banana flowers.

There is a swing among the banana leaves. At this time, a woman is sitting on it swinging, with her feet off the ground, her expression seems quite innocent.I saw that she was a female relative, so I didn't dare to be rude, so I lowered my head and didn't look at her.Just as I was about to walk past the swing, the woman suddenly stood up from the swing, walked over and asked, "Who is this?"

Hearing the crisp voice, it must be Xiuping's sister.I thought to myself, since she has already walked over, I looked up to see her, but I was surprised when I raised my head.Although the woman in front of her had a pink complexion and a good appearance, she was obviously older, so she could not be sisters with Xiuping, but more like a mother and daughter.

Maybe this is the owner's wife. I was thinking about how to say hello to the lady, so I heard the guy say: "Second miss, this is the city patrol horse delivering the letter, looking for the owner."

She is actually the second lady of the winery.My wife immediately got stuck in the throat, thinking that Xiuping's father is really a long-lived, and the second daughter is so old, he must have lived longer than Nanshan.But when I was staying at the hotel, I saw the portrait of the owner, and it was clearly about the same age as the second young lady in front of me. How could there be such a daughter as her?
"It turned out to be the gentleman who delivered the letter." The second lady stared at me for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Go, the owner is waiting for you."

Although she is not young, but this smile is bright and moving.Infected by her smile, I hurriedly nodded to her, and didn't pay attention to what she said for a while. I only remembered when I left. She said that the owner of the villa is waiting for me. Does the owner know that I will come?
Since I came to the winery, everything seems a little strange.Although I was puzzled in my heart, I didn't have time to think about it, so I followed the guy into a room behind.It was getting dark, and candles were lit in the room, illuminating the whole room yellow and clear.After I entered the house, I wanted to greet the owner, but I couldn't control my eyes for some reason. I couldn't look straight ahead, but kept looking at the roof.

There are bucket arches supporting the beams at the four corners of the roof, making the roof extremely delicate.However, when I went into the study and looked at the roof without looking at people, this kind of behavior was really rude. I hurriedly turned my eyes to look at the owner. After turning for a long time, I finally straightened my eyes. It can be roughly seen that the owner looks exactly the same as the portrait.

This room is probably a study room. The owner sat behind the desk and said to me: "Sir, you have come from a long way, and you have worked hard all the way."

Seeing that he didn't blame me for being impolite, I breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to answer, but before I even opened my mouth, I heard myself respond: "Passing letters and letters is the duty of a city patrol horse, I dare not take it as hard work."

As soon as the words fell, I was stunned. I obviously said what I said just now, but I didn't feel that I had spoken.I was panicking, when the owner opposite smiled and nodded, and said to the guy behind me: "I want to talk to my husband, you go out first."

The guy replied respectfully: "Yes." Then there were footsteps behind me, and the guy left the room.When I went out, I closed the door, and the sound of closing the door was clearly heard in my ears.I heard the guy go out, I wanted to ask about Xiuhong's whereabouts, but what I said was completely different from what I thought in my heart: "This time, I was entrusted by someone to send a letter to the owner of the winery. "

"Oh, who sent the letter," asked the landlord, "where is the letter?"

"Here." As I spoke, I took the letter out of my pocket and went forward to hand it to the owner, but at the moment the owner reached out to take it, another voice suddenly said: "I killed the letter." you."

I was taken aback by the sound, and when I came back to my senses, I was shocked to find that the sound was actually made by me.Before I had time to think about why I said such a sentence, I involuntarily stabbed the letter in my hand at the owner.The letter entered the owner's body in response to the sound. The owner was stunned, stared at me with wide eyes, and slowly fell to the ground.

After he fell to the ground, he didn't seem to understand why I suddenly wanted to kill him, his eyes were full of doubts.After I stabbed the letter into his body, I immediately pulled it out again, only to see that the letter suddenly turned into a dagger after being pulled out from the owner’s body, blood dripped drop by drop from the tip of the dagger, and the ground burst open There are several plum blossoms, which are shockingly beautiful.

The owner was lying on the ground, looking at me with his mouth slightly open, but he didn't say a word.I knelt down and pushed the dagger into the owner's body again and again. It seemed that I had some deep hatred with him, and I was still muttering to myself: "I killed you...I killed you..."

I still can't feel myself saying these words, but it's clearly my own voice.I looked at the bloody plum blossoms on the ground with a dazed look on my face. It felt like there were two me in the study, one of me was doing what I just did, and the other me was watching in confusion.

After a while, I seemed to be tired from stabbing, so I sat down on the ground, trying to think about why I did such a thing to the owner, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.I don't know how long it took, but I really couldn't think of anything, and I was attacked by a burst of drowsiness. There was a heavy pendant on my eyelids, and I closed my eyes all at once.

I don’t know how long it took before I returned from my dreamland. There was a talkative bird outside the window who was chatting with someone, chattering non-stop, everything was so vibrant.I also felt energetic, so I stretched first, feeling comfortable all over.At this time, I thought of the past, and couldn't help laughing for a while.

I was probably drunk in the hotel, and I had such an absurd dream. I dreamed that I went to the winery to deliver a letter, but somehow killed the owner of the winery.Just as he was thinking, before he opened his eyes, he heard someone scream, as if someone had stepped on his throat, the voice was full of fear and shock, dripping down drop by drop.

I was also frightened by the exclamation, and I hurriedly opened my eyes to see that the sky was already bright.In front of me lay a dead body that had been stabbed multiple times, and in my hand was holding a blood-stained dagger!
