Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Yang Xueshi looked at his straight eyes and blurted out, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't do anything, nephew, let's change clothes." Zhao Ran said while taking off his own clothes first.

Yang Xueshi knew that Zhaoran had a lot of evil ideas, and he often looked at it as being dishonest, but in fact, most of them were serious, so he opened his hand and said, "I will do it myself."

He took off his outer straight embroidered coat, and then took over Zhao Ran's coat. The two coats were a black skirt that Zhao Ran could easily hold, with an indigo pleated skirt underneath and a rosewood-colored right lapel cloth shirt on top. Yang Xueshi fastened his clothes, raised his head and said, "Is this okay?"

Sitting in an upside-down house facing north and south, the light was dim, but Yang Xueshi's fair face was shone by the red sandalwood cloth shirt, as if it had a luster like jade porcelain. It was clear that he only felt that the fluid in his mouth was oozing out, so he resisted turning his head: "So-so."

He put on the straight shirt that Yang Xueshi took off, and a faint fragrance of lavender came to his nostrils. Then he suddenly picked up Yang Xueshi by the waist and pushed him to the ground. Yang Xueshi was startled, struggled quickly, and pressed firmly Grabbing his wrist, he yelled loudly, "Zhao Accountant, take a look at the situation in the room."

Zhao Yingwen struggled to climb up the wall again and shouted: "Master Yang, Master Yang...press the old lady to the ground."

Yang Xueshi annoyed: "Is that enough?"

Zhao Ran looked at Yang Xueshi condescendingly, and suddenly asked, "Someone told you that you are beautiful?"

This sentence is actually what he wanted to ask Jiuru, of course he didn't have the courage, but now in his dream, he can ask Yang Xueshi.

Yang Xueshi was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking: "I don't care who you are, if you don't get off me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Uh... Zhao Ran turned over from Yang Xueshi's body embarrassingly. As soon as Yang Xueshi got up from the ground, he left the room without looking back. In shock, he let go of his hand and fell from the wall.

Yang Xueshi's face turned red and white, and he went out angrily just now, completely forgetting that he was still wearing a blouse, but in embarrassment, he heard Zhao Ran whispering against his ear: "Smart, let's try the Zhao Mansion again. Zhao Xiangli, the head concierge."

Yang Xueshi glanced at Zhao Ran: "I don't need you to decide whether I'm smart or not!"

He had just finished speaking, but he saw Zhaoran stuck something on his forehead, Yang Xueshi reached out to touch it, and it turned out to be that summer flower, he couldn't help feeling annoyed, just wanted to reach out to pick it off, but he heard Zhaoran say: "If you want to dress up, act like it."

Yang Xueshi hesitated for a moment, but he didn't pick the flower.

Zhao Ran beckoned to Ji Niang: "Go and call Uncle Zhao out of the room and let him see our posture, right?"

Ji Niang trotted away quickly, Yang Xueshi and Zhaoran stepped out of the gate of the full moon, as soon as Zhao Xiangli came out, Yang Xueshi reached out and slapped Zhaoran, Zhaoran didn't turn his head, but just raised his hand, Yang Xueshi's palm hit Zhaoran Fanned in Zhao Ran's palm.

Zhao Ran turned his head and cast a wink at Yang Xueshi: "Master Yang really connects with my mother-in-law."

Yang Xueshi has never seen such a rascal and shameless person in his life, he feels ashamed to deal with him, and even if he doesn't, he really wanted to slap him just now, but now he couldn't remember it, so he had to turn his head and try again. He raised his chin with a calm expression on his face.

Seeing his posturing, Zhao Ran couldn't help giggling a few times, but before Yang Xueshi turned his face, Ji Niang ran over and said, "Uncle Zhao said just now, old lady, old lady beat Master Yang."

Zhao Zhongbo heard it clearly, his face turned darker, and he waved to Zhao Xiangli.

When Zhao Xiangli came closer, he was also taken aback, and lost his voice: "This, this..."

Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Master, it's broad daylight today, you can't tell the difference between men and women, how did you see clearly that Zhao Jing ran out of the door in disheveled clothes that night?"

Zhao Xiangli was a little tongue-tied, but Ah Gui interjected, "But we can see clearly that he is indeed disheveled."

Zhao Ran turned his head and said, "But you also said that when you came out, Mrs. Wu had already been pushed to the ground by Mrs. Zhao Jing. How do you know Mrs. Wu didn't tore Mrs. Zhao's clothes off?"

Agui was at a loss for words.

Ah Kuan smiled wryly: "So, I was also confused at the time, and it's not as clear as Ah Gui and Ah Da?"

Zhao Zhongbo's face was as black as an iron pot and said: "That is to say, the six of you didn't see clearly at all, why did you insist on Zhao Jing at that time?"

Agui muttered: "At that time, Xiuying insisted that it was Zhao Jing."

Zhao Yingwen came over with a limp and said, "The situation at that time was very similar. Xiuying was insulted so much, and so many of us saw Zhao Jing. This, can it be faked?"

Zhao Tianci said impatiently: "After all, there is nothing new."

Zhao Ran said: "There are still some new things, for example... there are tables and beds in the upside-down house in the sedan chair courtyard, so there should be a concierge on weekdays, right? Is it Ada or Agui?"

Agui said: "It's a villain."

Zhao Ran turned to ask Ah Da: "I have a question to ask you, does Ah Gui often ask you to drink, and every drink lasts until midnight?"

Ah Da replied: "It's not very common, we are both concierges, and occasionally we get together for a drink, but we never dare to make trouble."

"Okay, then I have another question. Does he come to you for a drink often in the middle of the month?"

Ada hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Agui: "This, there really is no constant."

"Well, the last question, since you only get together occasionally to drink, how did Xiuying know that there was no one in the palanquin courtyard that day?"

Agui said: "That afternoon, I went to the kitchen to order something to eat, and I told everyone that I would celebrate Ada's birthday, so Xiuying must have learned about it from here."

Zhao Ran turned his head and said: "Ah Gui wants to celebrate Ah Da's birthday, so there is no one in the upside-down house in the sedan chair courtyard, so there is no one guarding the side door, is that right?"

Agui repeatedly said: "Old Furen sees clearly, it is true."

Zhao Ran's eyes widened: "That's the question, why didn't Zhao Jing escape from the unguarded side door, but instead ran out of the Yuanyue Cave Gate and escaped from the gate?"

For a while, there was no sound in the yard.

----

Suddenly, a scream came from the side hall, and everyone came back to their senses and rushed towards the side hall.

In the side hall, Xiuying and Zhao Miner wrestled together, but unexpectedly, Zhao Miner was not the one who knocked down Xiuying, but Zhao Miner was pinned down by Xiuying instead. Xiuying cried, "Miner, Can you be reasonable, why do you have to accuse me of harming your brother?"

Zhao Min'er's face was flushed, but she couldn't break away from Xiuying's hand, so Wu hurriedly stepped up to pull them away.

Zhao Ran said: "Xiuying's strength is not small."

Wu comforted Xiuying and then replied: "Xiuying has been working with me in the kitchen since she was a child, and her strength is indeed not small compared to ordinary women, but unfortunately she is always inferior to men..." She said a little bit Sadly.

Zhao Zhongbo glanced at these people, then looked at Yang Xueshi and said dryly, "Our family is negligent, always thinking that so many witnesses must be ironclad cases, who knows..."

Surprised, Wu said, "Second Master!"

Zhao Tianci said: "I think even if they didn't see the truth, they can't explain anything? Zhao Jing himself is in a hurry and doesn't know the way. After playing for a long time, it's not interesting at all. It's really better to play two leaf cards."

Zhao Min'er wanted to bite him so hard that her teeth were grinding.

Zhao Zhongbo coughed in embarrassment, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for pointing out the omissions in this case. We will report to the magistrate and ask him to thoroughly investigate the case again."

As soon as he spoke, Xiuying covered her face and rushed out of the door of the side hall, and ran through the hanging flower door in a blink of an eye.

Wu Shi hurriedly followed, shouting "Xiuying, Xiuying."

Zhao Zhongbo looked at Zhao Min'er with a slight frown and said: "Now you are satisfied, go home first, and I will notify you when there is news."

Zhao Min'er knelt down and saluted for a while, and said: "Min'er thanked the second master, but I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying in Zhao's residence, still doing my job, waiting to see those unkind people , the fate of the unfaithful!"

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back, and she actually went through the Chuihua Gate to the inner mansion.

"You!" Zhao Zhongbo pointed at her back and couldn't help but get angry

Zhao Tianci stretched his waist and got up, and said with a clear smile: "Master Tianci likes to play leaf cards?"

"Not bad!"

"Coincidentally." Zhao Ran clapped his palms and said with a smile, "I like my mother-in-law too."

Zhao Tianci turned his head and glanced at Zhaoran: "Grandma Feng, you can also play leaf cards?"

Zhao Ran grinned: "Never had an opponent."

Zhao Tianci turned around and said with bright eyes: "It just so happens that I have never had an opponent."

"How about we play two rounds of Water Margin?" Zhao Ran asked.

"Okay!" Zhao Tianci immediately said with interest.

Zhao Zhongbo hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm going to eat later, how about..."

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "Then let's keep it simple, play nonsense, and the young master and I will play together."

Zhao Tianci glanced at Yang Xueshi: "Master Yang isn't playing?"

"Master Yang will score for us, how about it?" Zhao Ran turned to look at Yang Xueshi.

Zhao Tianci also turned his gaze, Yang Xueshi nodded and said, "I'm not used to playing cards, this is very good."

Several people brought over the leaf cards, a whole set of ivory-carved Water Margin leaf cards, with exquisite and gorgeous craftsmanship, Zhao Tianci raised his hand to remove the cross door card inside the cards, and raised his hand clearly: "I have a new way of playing, Master Tianci Would you like to try it?"

"How to play?" Zhao Tianci asked with interest in his eyes.

Zhao Ran turned over a leaf card in his hand and said with a smile: "Pairing characters, Ruan Xiaoqi, the king of hell who is good at water, will naturally match Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun, and Wu Yong, a wise man, will naturally match resourceful Gongsun Sheng."

Zhao Tianci said, "The prodigal son Yan Qing is naturally going to match the flower monk Lu Zhishen."

Zhao Ran praised: "Master Tianci is really smart."

Zhao Zhongbo was a little helpless, turned his head and told others: "You go down first."

Zhao Ran looked at Yang Xueshi and said, "Master Yang, please help us shuffle the cards."

Yang Xueshi said: "Could you please change your clothes with me first?"

Zhao Ran seemed to have suddenly realized it, and quickly said: "That's right, that's right, I forgot that I was still wearing Lord Yang's clothes, so Young Master Tianci will wait for a while."

Zhao Tianci turned his head to look at Yang Xueshi and said, "It's okay, I'll wait."

----

Yang Xueshi followed him into the inverted room, and said in a low voice, "Are you suspicious of Zhao Tianci?"

"The ghost in this fishing village is just pretending to be a ghost."

Yang Xueshi seemed to realize something: "No wonder you said you can't draw talismans, so the first time you drew talismans on his forehead was to test him!"

"Ah, he showed his feet the first time he saw me." Zhao Ran sneered as he tightened his belt, "So now we can be sure that he is not a good guy."

"Don't forget that our purpose of coming here is to seek cooperation from the Zhao Mansion."

"If you find cooperation, it's up to you to take advantage of the opportunity, but he hurt my people..." Zhao Ran kicked the stool hard, "I want him to pay the price."

Yang Xueshi couldn't understand what he was saying at all, and saw that Zhaoran had already gone out shaking his handkerchief, so he could only heave a sigh of relief, and followed him out.

----

The table in the side hall has been laid out, and there are also pots of fruit and refreshments, which is very thoughtful.

Zhao Ran happily picked up a plum and stuffed it into his mouth, then said to Yang Xueshi with a smile: "Master Yang, please help shuffle the cards."

Yang Xueshi glanced at him, stretched out his hand and began to shuffle the cards, his fingers were white and slender, and they looked very good against the delicate dental cards, Zhao Tianci couldn't help but look at his hands.

Zhao Ran tasted all the pastries at the side, then clapped his hands, picked up the dice and threw a five, Zhao Tianci threw a six, grabbed the leaf card in his hand with a smile and said: "Grandma, Xiaosheng You're welcome."

As he spoke, he slapped the double whip, Hu Yanzhuo drew back the double gun general Dong Ping from the cards spread out on the table, and said, "Is this suitable?"

(Note: Leaf tiles are the prototype of mahjong. They are all for the purpose of making pairs. You can eat the opponent's tiles, or you can make them by yourself. The difference between leaf tiles and mahjong is that leaf tiles have clear tiles, which means that each There are several cards in the person's hand, and there are several open cards on the table. When it is your turn to play cards, you match them first. Calculating exactly what cards are in the opponent's hand.)

Zhao Ran repeatedly clicked his tongue and said: "Double whips and double guns, of course they can be matched. The god-sent young master is extremely intelligent, and this must be placed in the [-] generals as Wu Yong."

Zhao Tianci smiled and said: "If you want me to do it, of course I will be that prodigal son Yan Qing, who can seduce a peerless beauty like Li Shishi." He said with another look at Yang Xueshi, "Master Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Xueshi said flatly: "Don't think about it."

Zhao Ran grinned and said: "Master Yang is a descendant of a famous family and a serious scholar, so he can't be counted."

----

Zhao Tianci played the red-haired ghost Liu Tang one after another, took back the bearded man Zhu Dian, sent out the thunderbolt Qin Ming, took back the featherless arrow Zhang Qing, and then threw Wu Yong, very proud: "Grandmother, this little boy has a good hand with this card!" Very bad, almost won with one stroke."

But Zhao Ran was overjoyed and said: "Good time!" He took a picture of Gongsun Sheng and smiled, "The old lady said just now that Gongsun Sheng is paired with Wu Yong, right? This is just a trick, hahaha."

Annoyance flashed across Zhao Tianci's face.

Then Zhaoran played the vanguard Suo Chao, took back the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong, and finally he threw the leopard head Lin Chong, Zhao Tianci did not catch the card.

Yang Xueshi took out the plan and distributed it to Zhaoran, Zhao Tianci looked at the plan in Yang Xueshi's hand and couldn't help scratching his heart and lungs and said repeatedly: "Come again, come again."

A stack of leaf cards was spread out, and Zhao Tianci hit more and more smoothly, one after another, he discharged the winged tiger Lei Heng, took back Hunjianglong Li Jun, used the flower monk Lu Zhishen to take back the prodigal son Yanqing, but smiled and threw the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi sighed and said : "It's a pity, it's a pity, mother-in-law's leopard head was lost early, otherwise can I get two points back?"

He glanced at Yang Xueshi, Yang Xueshi said: "Currently, Granny Feng has eight chips, and Zhao Tiangang has ten chips."

Zhao Ran sighed, picked up the leaf card in his hand and said: "Young people are awesome, I have all the masters who don't match up in my hand, look at the most beautiful Hua Rong among the [-] generals, who can I match with?"

He said he left Huarong, Zhao Tianci said: "I want it!" He sent out the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, glanced at Yang Xueshi and said with a smile, "Master Yang, can my jade unicorn be worthy of General Hua?"

Yang Xueshi frowned slightly. He obviously didn't understand this, but said slowly, "But General Hua's nickname is not General Hua, but Xiao Li Guang. Although he has red lips and white teeth, he is unparalleled in beauty and proficient in It’s Hundred Steps Piercing Yang, it can be paired with Featherless Arrows, why shouldn’t it be better to use Little Whirlwind Chai Jin now?”

Zhao Tianci frowned, and watched Zhaoran's dry hand withdraw the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, only to hear him say with a smile: "Of course the master of the second village, Yu Qilin, wants to protect Song Jiang with me, the great fortress." match."

"Ten against ten, equal." Yang Xueshi said.

Zhaoran turned over the last card with a smile and said: "The last card I have here is Jiuzhilong Shijin, who is also a dude, he should be worthy of the one in your hand that did not block Mu Hong. It's a pity, this was originally It's a draw, but I'm the last banker."

----

Outside Xiuyinfang, Ying Ning looked at the dripping door lintel with a sinking face, and Aning hurriedly said to Fu Heng next to him: "What's going on, why is my young master trapped inside."

Fu Heng said with shame on his face, "I didn't expect Yinli to be so out of control?"

Aning blushed in anxiety and said, "What's going on?"

"I originally wanted to help Yinli take back her Lihun. She is a warrior in the God Clan no less than the Tianpyg Clan. With her help, we should be able to defeat the people of the National Teacher." Fu Heng was full of annoyance, " How do you know that Yinli has thoughts about Buddha, and is messing around!"

"I don't care, you lost the person, you get it back for me!" Aning said and was about to break into it.

Fu Heng hurriedly grabbed her and said anxiously: "No, these are the water carried by jellyfish. They are poisonous. If they get on them, they will be indistinguishable from illusion and reality, and people will be separated from their souls. It is extremely powerful."

Ying Ning also pulled Aning and said with a sullen face: "Master Fu, you also know that Patriarch Long told you to take care of Rong Xian before he left! Now you have caused him to fall into a dangerous situation, what should you do."

Aning gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care, you have to find a way to get my young master out no matter what!"

Fu Heng said: "I'm not letting you in, but I'm telling you to be careful when you go in, and never touch anything inside, even if you see Rong Xian."

After speaking, he took out some umbrellas made of feathers from the servant's hand and said, "Go in, be careful where you step."

A few people carefully crossed the threshold with umbrellas. The whole Xiuyin Workshop was gloomy, as if the sky had changed color since they stepped into the yard, and dark clouds kept rolling over their heads.

They searched from room to room, and suddenly Ah Ning blurted out, "Young master, young master is here!"

Fu Heng and Ying Ning also hurried over, pushed open the door and saw Zhao Ran lying on the table as if fast asleep, and Fei Qingchen lay beside him quietly.

"Master, wake up, master!" Ah Ning yelled a few times, but it was completely silent, but Fei Qingchen struggled to open his eyes and then closed them again.

Fu Heng walked over to check Zhao Ran's breath, his face suddenly changed, and Aning asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong."

Ying Ning couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Fu Heng looked at the two of them and said, "He...he is dying."

----

Zhao Ran smiled and threw out the cards in his hand: "Actually speaking from the face of the cards, the red-haired ghost could also choose the blue-faced beast, but you chose the handsome man, and the thunderbolt can also choose the golden gunner, but you chose no?" Feather arrows, red against beauty, thunderbolt against no feathers, this proves that your heart is full of murderous intent. In the end, you choose to use jade unicorn to face Hua Rong, the one with the highest force is against the most beautiful one, you are not comparing yourself to the prodigal Yan Qing, It's Lu Junyi with the highest force value, right?"

The author has something to say:

The leaf card game designed by Zhaoran is actually a group of language tests similar to psychological tests. Let me give you a simple example.

Imagine that you have murdered someone in a room, you have blood on your hands, you hastily wiped the blood on the curtains, and fled.

When the police found you, a psychologist said let's do a simple set of tests: "I'm going to name a few nouns, please answer me with another noun immediately."

The noun group the psychologist came up with was room, door, flowerpot, sofa, and curtain.

You use house to house, door to window, pot to plant, sofa to mattress, but when curtains are mentioned, your first reaction will not be the window, but blood, understand?

The same is true for the game of Zhaoran Leaf. He said at the beginning that we have a character matching game. This seemingly unique pairing actually means that different people will have different choices, just like the language test game above.

When Zhao Tianci took the cards in his hand, Zhao Ran said that you are very similar to Wu Yong, right? Barabara. characters.You will say, how do I look like me, but when you see the character card in your hand, you will naturally enter this thinking logic.

Do I resemble this character?and who am I like?This is the suggestion of substitution, and it is also a kind of reminder to the subconscious mind.

Then the matching game begins.

Zhao Tianci used the red-haired ghost to match the handsome man, the thunderbolt to match the featherless arrow, and finally played Wu Yong (useless). With a strong desire in the heart, a strong desire-featherless arrow (the arrow shot not only has the shaft, but even the feathers on it are not inserted), blood is beautiful, and the arrow is shot with a strong desire, and finally throw away the useless card.

That's why it is obvious that he has murderous intentions.

When these desires were expressed in the matching game, Zhao Tianci immediately used the wings of the sky to cross the river dragon, and the prodigal son to the flower monk. Self-expression is at its peak.

He used Lu Junyi, the jade unicorn with the highest force value among the [-] generals, to match the most beautiful little Li Guanghuarong among the [-] generals.

So Zhaoran would say that he actually compares himself to Lu Junyi in his heart.

This is a whole set of psychological reaction process.

There are forty leaf cards in total, and the author only described a relevant part of them. Can everyone understand now?

I have some cognitive errors, and I will pay attention to writing in a simpler way later.
