no one knows better than me

Zhuang Qingliu quickly lowered her head, flicked away the hand that was pulling her up, and raised her eyebrows: "Help if you help, why are you secretly taking advantage of me - tell me, what's going on?"

Meihualan always vaguely felt that some kind of momentum has been subverted since tonight.But a few days ago, she was the one who occupied the sky and occupied...the wronged party.

...It can be said to be a model of a good hand played poorly.

So he stretched out his hand to hold Duan Zhujun who was in the air, and said: "Come over and have something to eat first, I'll let Siji tell you."

As he spoke, he turned around and led Zhuang Qingliu along the field ridge onto a five-foot-wide village path.After walking for a while, I turned a corner into the fenced yard of a village house where candles were still burning.

The village was very quiet at night. Before the fence gate was closed, Zhuang Qingliu was holding Mei Sigui in his arms and took a look at the dim creek. There were two dazed figures standing together by the creek. It was Mei Xiao. Han and Zhu Heng.

Mei Xiaohan didn't know what to say, Zhu Heng immediately turned his head in disbelief: "You said that I can't enter the barrier because I didn't set up the barrier?"

"Yes." Mei Xiaohan nodded solemnly.

Zhu Heng was almost laughed angrily by her: "I didn't put that up, didn't I know? What I want to know is, why is she able to enter Meihualan?"

Mei Xiaohan then said again: "Then there is only one reason."

"?" Zhuheng waited for a while, then took a cool look at her, "Say it." Mei Xiaohan said to her deeply with folded hands: "Because of that enchantment—it is made of flowers. "

"???"

Zhu Heng looked at her in disbelief and repeated: "You said I couldn't get in because I didn't set the barrier? But Mei Hualan can get in, so she set the barrier??"

Mei Xiaohan maintained a naive smile and said, "Otherwise, Palace Master Zhu, isn't that obvious?"

"—When the enchantment exists, what kind of cultivation is she, I don't know!"

Zhu Heng was so angry that her orifices were smoking, and immediately took a step forward, looking as if he was about to hit Mei Xiaohan.

--call!

However, Mei Xiaohan took a step back swiftly and nimbly, and at the same time quickly ignited a prepared fire talisman in his hand, and the surrounding area was suddenly brightly lit.

Zhu Heng's face froze, and he immediately raised his hand on the spot to cover the rags on his body that were blown left and right by the wind.

Mei Xiaohan seemed to have a slight smile in his eyes, and his eyes deliberately slid around Zhu Heng's bare chest and waist: "Okay, Palace Master Zhu, you cross your arms I don’t care about what my arms can cover, I don’t care about it—I’d better leave at night and go back and change into decent clothes, so as not to run around half naked in the morning.”

After Zhu Heng's face changed violently a few more times, he suddenly stepped forward, pulled the fire talisman from Mei Xiaohan's hand... and threw it at her feet.

And it seems that if there is a next time, I will throw it in her face.

"..."

The lights and shadows around him flickered, and after Mei Xiaohan lowered his head and flicked away the fire on his feet, Zhu Heng had already left.After she turned her head and looked around, she clicked her tongue: "Smelly temper."

Then he turned around and returned to the village with a few small holes in his feet that had been scorched by sparks.

In the small courtyard of the village, Zhuang Qingliu had just eaten a large bowl of wild vegetable and chicken noodle soup borrowed by Mr. Duanzhu from the stove. The wild vegetable was freshly picked up on the ridge on the way back. My son's daughter-in-law stewed it. The soup is thick and white, delicious and delicious.On the top of the noodles, there is a thick layer of shredded chicken shredded by hand, which is as fragrant as you want.

Mei Hualan sat down at the table, turned over the small earthenware bowl, poured a bowl of cool well water for Zhuang Qingliu, brought it to her hand and asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"

Zhuang Qingliu's eyes dangled with the clear water, and he couldn't help laughing.I knew that this person lost his temper, but he still couldn't get over it in his heart, so he was trying to please and act good.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Mei Hualan, then fed Mei Sigui a shredded chicken, and asked intentionally, "Is it delicious, baby?"

Mei Sigui seemed very satisfied, and said loudly: "—— Chirp!"

Zhuang Qingliu immediately rubbed its cute little head, and fed it a few more mouthfuls, while Mei Hualan watched from the side with a smile on his face.

It was obviously a stage for four people, and Mei Siji, who had been ignored for a long time, turned halfway with a sour face, and was about to throw the table and leave on the spot.

At this moment, the door creaked and was pushed open from the outside.

Mei Xiaohan, who just came back, pressed her shoulder and said "huh?", then looked back and said, "What's going on? - Oh, there are only three stools, right? It's okay, I can sit on the bed, don't be humble , sit down."

As he spoke, he held Mei Siji's shoulders with both hands, and pushed her back as he walked without any explanation.

Mei Siji: "..."

Mei Xiaohan sat alone on a hard bed against the wall, and then she waved her folding fan with a smile, swept over Zhuang Qingliu's rich noodle bowl knowingly, and asked, "How is it? ?"

Mei Siji said angrily: "No!" He was busy eating, so he couldn't care about business!

Mei Xiaohan laughed immediately, and said earnestly: "Siji, don't roll your eyes." Then he lazily raised his legs and said, "Then let me tell, Senior Zhuang listens while eating."

Just as Zhuang Qingliu picked it up with chopsticks, she found a soft-boiled poached egg quietly lying on the bottom of the bowl. She couldn't help but squint at the corner of her eyes. She glanced at Jing Jing's plum blossoms, and said briskly, "Say it."

Mei Xiaohan said, "It's a ghost come back to life, it happened a month ago."

It turned out that more than a month ago, a newly married girl died in a place called Jinchan Town in Meijiadi.Because there was something hidden in the girl's death, after the death, the ghost returned to her soul and killed three people in a row in revenge, but she still refused to leave.But Li Hun has been staying in the town to act as a demon. In the past month, there have been three newly married grooms in Jinchan Town who died tragically at her hands on the night of the bridal chamber.

Holding the chopsticks, Zhuang Qingliu immediately asked, "What's the secret of this ghost's death?"

Mei Xiaohan pointed to the village in front of her, and said: "This girl is originally from this village, because she has a pair of skillful hands and is good at weaving and making clothes, so she often goes to Jinchan Town, ten miles away, to come to measure for guests. After coming and going so often, I probably met a man I liked in Jinchan Town, and after dating him for more than half a year, I happily married him."

"However, this man is actually an aristocratic son of a wealthy local businessman's house. Although he is young, he has already married according to his parents' orders. The wife he married is actually a well-known vicious and jealous woman who is domineering at home every day, which has already upset him. I hate it, but I dare not take a concubine openly. So I concealed my identity and bought a small house outside, thinking about secretly taking the girl as a concubine and raising it for a period of time. After the raw rice is cooked, I will take her home. I can't say anything more."

Zhuang Qingliu took a sip of the noodle soup and nodded: "Haohaoer's wife has changed into a concubine, who can bear it easily."

"There are worse things, Senior Zhuang."

Mei Xiaohan said: "——Who would have thought that on the night of your young master's and young lady's wedding, the news of this matter leaked out, and it was quickly spread into the ears of your young master's wife. Then this pungent woman became aggressive and aggressive that night. When they arrived at the house where they got married, they beat and scolded in a hurry, making the girl dumbfounded on the spot, and then in the tearing before she could react, she was accidentally pushed into the courtyard by a maidservant of the vicious woman drowned in the well."

……

After hearing this, Zhuang Qingliu let out a sigh, lowered her head and put down the bowl: "So the three people she murdered at the beginning were this noble son, the pungent woman, and the maid who killed her, right?"

Seeing that Zhuang Qingliu put down the bowl, Mei Hualan next to her immediately took out a handkerchief with Meixiang bursting out, and wiped her mouth as if no one was there.

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

Mei Xiaohan: "..."

"Yes!" Mei Siji rolled her eyes, and said in a tone of distaste, "These three people deserved what they deserved, and if they were killed, they died. Normally, whether it is due to emotion, reason or soul After leaving the body, this ghost should have dissipated for as long as it lasts, and it is completely impossible to explain why she still stays as a demon instead of leaving."

"Siji, I told you to pay attention to resting your eyes."

Mei Xiaohan sighed dignifiedly and solemnly, and said: "In reason, it is common for resentful souls who have died in vain due to such a reversal of life, not to leave and dissipate."

Zhuang Qingliu didn't know what he was thinking, so he yanked Mei Hualan's hand that was still wiping her mouth, then glanced at her, and asked, "How can you be sure that the three grooms who died in succession in the next month are all the same?" Is she a demon?"

"Before she makes a move, she will appear for a short time. Our disciples stationed in the city have seen it once, leaving a void."

Zhuang Qingliu asked strangely again: "So only the groom is killed? The bride is fine?"

Mei Xiaohan pondered seriously for a while: "It's not all... There was a bride who was caught by her because of her timidity, and she almost died of a terminal illness, and she hasn't completely recovered from her illness yet."

"..." Zhuang Qingliu thought for a while, "So what is she planning? She died on her wedding day because of hatred and empathy? Do you think men in the world are not good?"

Mei Xiaohan nodded deeply: "It's possible." He added, "The locals also said that because she was not happy with her marriage, she was jealous of all other married couples, so she kept acting as a demon. And Jinchan Town has many People offered incense, burnt paper money and performed rituals for her one after another, but she refused to leave."

Zhuang Qingliu thought for a while, but suddenly shook his head and said, "That's not right."

Mei Siji turned to look at her suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Qingliu said to her seriously: "The number of times is wrong."

Mei Hualan, who hadn't spoken to her for quite a while, finally couldn't help but to speak first, as if nothing had happened: "Yes, the number of times is wrong——Jinchan Town has a total of more than [-] people, and the number of people who get married every month is extremely high. There are more than three couples, and if you count concubines, there are even more, judging from the fact that there were more auspicious days for happy events in the previous month, there are at least dozens of marriages."

Therefore, this haunted ghost only picked three of them, and it was hard to say that it was because she was jealous of the couple's marriage and hated men.And even if it is inexperienced, the number of three is still too small to explain.

But there is another more important point, Zhuang Qingliu quickly asked Mei Hualan: "Among the three pairs she did, one of them was a concubine?"

Mei Siji didn't know if it was intentional, or she cut off Mei Hualan's reply halfway without winking, took a sip of water by herself, and said, "Yes, so only one is marrying a concubine and two are marrying wives, and the rest of the town are married. The concubines are all fine, so it's not because she was furious because she was 'changed from a wife to a concubine' without telling the truth."

"The most important thing is, Senior Zhuang—"

Mei Xiaohan continued: "It's precisely because she didn't have a clear reason for making the move, so people in Jinchan Town are now in a state of panic, and those who were going to do the marriage have postponed the date one after another, and they dare not get married at this time. Marry. Although this is not a very important matter, after all, it cannot be dragged on forever, and it must be resolved as soon as possible."

Zhuang Qingliu nodded: "But you can't figure out the reason for her action now, so you can't find her whereabouts, and you can't guess when she will appear next time and when she will make a move, so there is nothing you can do, right?"

Mei Siji immediately held the bowl in disbelief and said in distaste: "Who can't help it? It's just that there are many exceptions and strange things about this matter. The disciples originally stationed in the city didn't dare to delay, so they reported it on the scroll , Mr. Duanzhu and we also just set off to check, but you slowed down the trip - you still want to eat noodles!"

After she finished speaking, before Zhuang Qingliu said anything, Mei Hualan's quiet gaze had already cast her over without saying a word.

"..." Originally, after getting along with each other for this period of time, Mei Siji had let go of some of her crampedness and restraint towards Mei Hualan.She didn't expect to go back to the file in a second now... She felt inexplicably cold all over her body.

Zhuang Qingliu laughed quickly, raised her hand "crack--" and flicked Mei Hualan's forehead, signaling her to withdraw her death gaze.Then he turned his head to drink the sweet well water, and asked Mei Siji briskly: "Then tell me, where are you going to start the investigation?"

Mei Siji's tone was a bit more polite, and she sat upright and said seriously: "Since we have come to this village, we naturally start with this ghost first. My suggestion is to open her coffin to see if there are any abnormalities or changes."

Zhuang Qingliu put down the bowl and said loudly: "Wrong."

Mei Siji choked for a moment, turned her head and said, "...wrong?"

"Yes." Zhuang Qingliu said seriously to her, "Cha Tan is not with this ghost, because even if you find something wrong with her bones, her ghost has already left her body, so what's the use?"

She said and turned to say: "So the focus is not on opening the coffin, but on the three selected marriages."

Mei Siji immediately asked: "Have you got a solution?"

"I don't dare to say the method, but behind the three marriages she did - there must be a deeper hidden story."

Zhuang Qingliu put the bowl away with certainty, then got up and turned to Mei Hualan, raised his eyebrows and said, "So save the money, Mei Panpan, we're taking orders again!"
