Chapter 80
"this……"
The old man of the Chang family looked a little ugly, even when he mentioned that his son who was about to die from the wind had never been so ugly.
After hesitating for a while, the old man sighed for the third time, this time it was extra long, he took a sip of tea and put the tea bowl on the table, "The old man doesn't really want to talk about this."
Chen He wiped away the false tears with a towel, and then said: "I heard that it is the young lady of the Zhang family, why don't we go and visit the Zhang family, we have such a good relationship with Shengmin, and we have never even met my sister-in-law. It really shouldn't be done, and I must go to plead guilty!"
He said as if he suddenly remembered something, and pretendingly looked at the old man of the Chang family whose mouth was twitching, "Oh, I forgot to ask, is sister-in-law still in the house or back to her mother's house?"
In this era, many women whose husbands are dead and have no children will choose to return to their natal homes, either to remarry, or to return to their natal homes to eat the old, if the natal homes are willing to accept it.
The muscles on the face of the old man of the Chang family unconsciously trembled a few times. Seeing that the two in front of him were eager to meet someone, he simply told the truth, after all, everyone knew about it.
Instead of letting these two elders of the family and the younger generation who still have some contact with him go outside to spread rumors about how many hands and how much water they have mixed, it is better for him to say it himself. Although it is embarrassing, it will not ruin his own reputation.
"This woman is also a shameless woman. If she couldn't keep my son, she would go out to steal sex. She didn't know whose child she was pregnant with. She wanted to rely on my son first, but my son never touched her. See If you can't rely on it, you can say it belongs to Mr. Zhang, your father, it's absurd, it's really absurd!"
Sha Tang asked curiously: "How can you be sure that Chang Shengmin really never touched her? Maybe it was some drunken sex?"
This kind of thing is not uncommon in men, and it can be said to be a classic quotation of a man being the king of the sea.
The old man of the Chang family touched his not-so-long beard in embarrassment, "This..." Looking at Sha Tang's sincere eyes, the old man sighed in his heart. It turns out that his sons are not all messy friends, and they don't even know about this matter. do you know……
Faced with his son's best friend when he was studying, and the ignorant and pure eyes, the old man of the Chang family broke his heart and told the truth, "Because Shengmin is a heavenly eunuch."
Sha Tang:? ? ?
Chen He:? ? ?
Chen He: "What is Tianjiao?"
Sha Tang looked at Chen He in shock. Are there any men who don't know this word?
The old man of the Chang family also looked at Chen He in shock, and marveled in his heart, what a good child, isn't he polluted by dust at all!
Seeing that the old man of the Chang family was a little embarrassed about this question, Sha Tang coughed twice, and explained in a low voice: "It's just born short and has no ability to reproduce."
Chen He let out a sudden realization.
This can explain why Chang's family members are very sure that this child is not Chang Shengmin's. This is an accurate judgment from the root cause!
"The woman couldn't explain clearly, so we sent her back to the Zhang family. Later, I heard that she committed suicide not long after. She is shameless compared to being a human being." The old man of the Chang family waved his sleeves angrily as he said.
This kind of thing is a huge scandal in anyone's family, especially in order to prove that the child is not a Changshengmin, the unspeakable secret has to be made public. Scandal x2, coupled with immediate wind, scandal x3.
Thinking about it this way, Sha Tang felt that the Chang family's feng shui was quite bad, and looked at the old man of the Chang family who was still angry with some sympathy.
"Then do you have any guesses about that child?" Sha Tang asked tentatively.
To a large extent, there was no answer to this question. Sure enough, the complexion of the old man of the Chang family changed again and again. In the end, he just said that he didn't know and didn't want to guess.
There is only one son in the Chang family, and Mr. Chang is old enough to have a son. It is indeed impossible at this age.
They briefly chatted a few more words, and considering that they had to go to the Zhang family, the two declined the meal and said goodbye to the old man of the Chang family.
The two went to Zhang's house again. They ran so much in the past two days that Sha Tang even took note of the shops they passed along the way.
In the car, for the sake of each other's personal safety, Chen He finally let go of Sha Tang's hand, with some unsatisfactory expression on his face, "Get out of the car in a while and continue."
Thinking of this man's snarky words, Sha Tang was speechless: "Drive!"
She silently put her hands into her bosom, because the time of holding hands was too long, even in the cold winter, Sha Tang's palms were covered with hot sweat, sticky, as if she had grasped a piece of melted maltose in her hands.
Taking advantage of the turn, Chen He's attention was on the rearview mirror, and Sha Tang quickly pressed the back of his hand to his cheek. As expected, the temperature was so hot that he felt like a patient with a persistent high fever.
What a shame! ! !
Sha Tang wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Today must be the worst day in his life.
"What do you want to eat?" Chen He turned his head to look at Sha Tang, but only saw half of the man's profile buried in the scarf like an ostrich.
Through the scarf, Sha Tang said sullenly that it is better to eat something simple. He has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is okay if he does not complete the task, but he will be more anxious when he has done half or more of the task.
Chen He thought about it, and decided to take Shatang to the place where they had breakfast before. The Xiaolongbao Shatang from that restaurant was very popular, and the wontons were also very good.
The two fought quickly, settled for lunch quickly, and then continued to Zhang's house.
They walked the right way this time, because before killing Master Zhang yesterday, Chen He specifically called and said that he would come to visit, so their reason was justified.
Different from yesterday, today's Zhang family's house looks particularly desolate. The red lanterns hung at the entrance are replaced by white ones because of the New Year. The white curtains are tied with a flower hanging on the plaque. You can faintly hear people walking out of the house. Howling.
The concierge who received them today was different from yesterday's. This one was older and looked much more stable.
The concierge was a little surprised when he heard the reason for their visit, raised his hand with the white sleeves on and scratched his head, "You two young masters, you didn't come in time, my master passed away in an accident yesterday, it's too much for you to make such a trip today."
Sha Tang and Chen He pretended to be surprised again, asking about the situation repeatedly.
The concierge got the order, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense to the outside world. Fortunately, the two people didn't make things difficult for him, they just asked him to submit the greeting stickers, and they all came, and they wanted to offer incense sticks to the old man.
He has seen a lot of difficult guests on weekdays, and when he met such a talkative person, the concierge also had a good impression in his heart, and told another concierge to guard the door, so he personally sent the greeting card.
Sha Tang and Chen He glanced at each other, probably after Mr. Zhang's assassination time, the Zhang family is in a state of panic now, even the concierge has been changed, in comparison to wanting to keep people out.
After waiting for a while, the concierge came back, followed by a middle-aged woman, Sha Tang was a little surprised to find that this person turned out to be the woman who led Chen He to the backyard.
At this time, she looked a little haggard, with a pale complexion and red and swollen eyes, but it was completely different from the strange look in her eyes that day.
"She is a guide on No Man's Way, and she will change her identity only when she gets the signal. She is usually Mrs. Zhang's wife." Chen He explained in a low voice next to Sha Tang's ear.
Sha Tang nodded almost invisible, that's why.
Seeing the two of them sorting out the broken hair at the sideburns in embarrassment, the eldest lady told the situation in the house again, and Chen He offered to offer incense sticks.
Considering Chen He's identity and the power of the Chen family that the husband had talked to her about before his death, the eldest wife still agreed. It is naturally best not to offend others in the current situation of the Zhang family.
On the way to the mourning hall, Chen He took the initiative to chat with the eldest wife and inquired about the specific situation of the house.
The eldest wife knew through her husband yesterday that Chen Heben was going to visit her today, so she was not too wary of him, as long as it was not secret, she basically answered every question.
From time to time, Sha Tang knew what happened to the Zhang family these days.
First, the backyard near the back mountain collapsed at night, and the door and the wall were out of shape. After repairing it for a long time, the door broke again. The eldest wife wondered about it for a long time, and went to see it twice during the day, but she didn’t see it. If something goes wrong, you can only find someone to fix it again.
She was a little superstitious, so she tried to get her husband to invite someone to get rid of evil spirits, feeling that something dirty was in the house.
In the end, she was scolded by her husband and said that she was a remnant of the feudal dynasty, and the eldest wife was depressed for a long time.
Not long after this happened, she went out to play cards, and was suddenly told by the servants that her husband had been assassinated. She still didn't know what method the other party used. She was standing in the courtyard, and suddenly she was killed by something. Something went through the head.
The police officer also checked the scene frequently, and found no murder weapon. The only thing that can be determined is that this is a homicide.
After all, it is a big family, and the mourning hall was built overnight, because they didn't know who the murderer was, and they didn't dare to tell the news. Although some people came here after hearing the news, they were basically persuaded to go back. The dead are unclean, and the evil energy must be removed to welcome guests.
People who can make friends with Master Zhang are mostly high-ranking officials who cherish their lives. Hearing this statement, they immediately retreated in all directions.
Due to the haste of the funeral, many places were too late to clean up. Only the white curtain was hung on the gate of the courtyard, which hung down long. From a distance, it looked like a woman in a white dress was stepping on her feet and looking into the courtyard.
This imagination frightened Sha Tang, and then he laughed at himself secretly, unexpectedly being frightened by his own imagination in broad daylight, really...
Xu Shi accepted the psychological suggestion, when passing through the courtyard gate with white curtains, Sha Tang inexplicably felt the chill on the back of his neck, like someone holding a knife against his skin.
Passing through the courtyard gate, we arrived at the mourning hall. The mourning hall looked a little rushed, obviously a room vacated temporarily, and some decorations in the room were placed on both sides of the door.
Seeing this, the eldest lady smiled awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, the incident happened suddenly, and things at home haven't been straightened out yet, so I made you laugh."
As she said that, she stopped the servant who came out of the mourning hall in a hurry, and told her to quickly remove everything at the door.
The servant didn't know what to do, and was so busy that his forehead was sweating. Hearing this, he quickly bowed and said yes, and ran to call for someone.
Sha Tang observed the situation of Zhang's house calmly, his eyes froze when he saw Mr. Zhang's posthumous photo, and then his mind went blank for a moment.
There is a plate of fruit on the temporarily moved altar table, the white candle has been half burned, and the wax oil is piled up on the black table. It is serious and upright.
It's just that the features on the face that should have been quite upright were blank in this posthumous photo...
"What's wrong?" Chen He noticed his strangeness and asked in a low voice.
Sha Tang glanced at him, then looked at the blank posthumous photo, and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any questions about this posthumous photo?"
Chen He looked at it very seriously, and pondered for a long time: "The photo is worn out? It looks a little too young."
Sha Tang was speechless, but after what Chen He said, Sha Tang also realized that only he could see this faceless black and white posthumous photo.
There were still a few juniors kneeling in the mourning hall, probably the younger generation of the Zhang family, sobbing softly.
Sensing that someone entered the mourning hall, some young people wanted to look up, but their heads were immediately suppressed by the older children next to them, and the children could only continue to shake their shoulders and burn paper, sniffing their noses from time to time.
Each took three sticks of incense from the hand of the servant next to him, and the two murderers bowed three times to the photo of the deceased.
Putting the incense in the censer, out of politeness, Sha Tang asked the servants of the Zhang family for two black gauzes. When walking around the house of the funeral home, in order to show respect for the deceased, he would tie black gauzes or black gauzes on his arms. cloth.
There was no need for the two of them, after all, no one could disrespect the dead more than them, but after all, they still had to walk around the house, at least they should feel at ease wearing them.
Chen He politely declined the eldest wife's desire to accompany her, saying that she wanted to cherish some memories in the yard.
The eldest wife was a little strange about this request, but considering the other party's family background, she wouldn't covet anything from their family. Those related to military secrets were all in the master bedroom in the backyard, so there was no need to worry if there were servants guarding there.
After they left, Sha Tang told Chen He about the faceless photos.
Chen He narrowed his eyes slightly, faceless...
"Do you remember that faceless man who was talking to you on the psychic vehicle?"
Sha Tang's eyelids twitched, and the memories in the car flooded in like a flood, the rainy morning, the creaking and swaying dilapidated bus, the night sky torn by lightning, and the one who said to him, "I made something Very shameful thing" of the faceless man.
"What do you mean?" Sha Tang asked with some uncertainty, he had some thoughts in his mind, but he was not sure if it was the same as Chen He's.
"It's probably him. I have dealt with a faceless man before. I forgot what his name is. Anyway, other ghosts call him a man in a sedan chair. It is said that he committed suicide in shame and indignation because he did something very embarrassing. Find a new face by yourself, and when you find the right one, tear off the whole face of someone and use it for yourself."
Sha Tang: "But won't the Zhang family find out?"
Chen He: "The sedan man's skinning method is quite unique. He will first remove the head of the prey's shadow, and then after the person is dead, he can tear off the face from the shadow's head."
"Then why can't you see it, and neither can the Zhang family, but I can see it." Sha Tang didn't quite understand, no matter how close or distant he was, he had nothing to do with Mr. Zhang.
Chen He lowered his eyes to look at Sha Tang, his eyes seemed to be twitching, and he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, his voice was unprecedentedly cold, "It means that you are being followed by him, only his next target will be yours." can be seen."
Sha Tang: ...
It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid. No one can remain calm knowing that he is being targeted by a ghost and may die at any time, but he also feels a little angry. The malice of this ghost is really inexplicable.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Sha Tang said in shock: "I seem to know who this sedan chair man is..."
Recently, he had actually met one who met the requirements. Although it didn't match the faceless man he had seen in the car, who stipulated that ghosts only have one face.
"Do you still remember when I snatched the flashlight when I was in Zhao Qingming's Small World?"
Seeing Chen He nodding his head, Sha Tang continued: "At that time there was a ghost chasing me. He kept patting a head, but as long as there was light, he and the head would disappear."
Sha Tang spoke faster and faster, and at the end of the story, he was basically sure that this ghost was the man in the sedan chair. He had something to do with the shadow, and would take off the shadow's head.
Having said that, Chen He also remembered that he was in Zhao Qingming's outer world at the time, and he didn't want to use props to intervene in the inner world until he noticed the fluctuations in the inner world.
There are only two situations in which the fluctuations in the other world can occur. One is that the protagonist’s will collapses, and the other is that the task personnel sent in are about to die.
When he arrived, the fluctuations in the inner world had stopped, and the guy who almost killed Sha Tang also ran away.
Afterwards, he searched for a long time but couldn't find that guy. If it was the sedan chair man, it would make sense. This ghost doesn't have any particularly brutal attack methods, but because of the special nature of the shadow, his concealment ability is very good, even if he doesn't appear , very few people can find him.
Chen He didn't think about it before, so he didn't pay attention to any abnormalities in the shadows around him. When he caught Shatang falling from the sky, that guy must have been hiding in the nearby shadows.
"It seems that Zhao Qingming took the opportunity to run in when his will was broken when he realized the map of Nanjiang. The black shadow that Zhao Qingming said probably refers to him." Chen He gritted his teeth and analyzed. .
Sha Tang was very curious. It turns out that ghosts can't enter the small world at will. He thought that ghosts can do whatever they want.
Chen He shook his head, "No, the system will regard ghosts as bugs if they forcibly intervene in the small world, and they will be repaired forcibly. If the presence is too strong, the small world will be restarted, similar to formatting."
That's why he always tried to intervene in the Sha Tang mission and failed repeatedly.
The two chatted, and soon arrived at the backyard. There were obviously a lot fewer servants here, and Sha Tang grabbed a servant casually.
He first inquired about Zhang Zerun's situation, probably because he was really lucky, the randomly selected servant turned out to be an old servant of the Zhang family, who had been working in the Zhang family for 20 years.
The servant was a little panicked when he was pulled back, thinking that he had done something wrong. Hearing Sha Tang's question, he froze for a moment, then looked left and right.
Seeing him like this, Sha Tang thought it was reasonable, and bent the person next to him with his elbow. Chen He took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into the servant's pocket.
It's not that Sha Tang doesn't want to give it, but that the old man of the Sha family is very good at doing things. If he doesn't like him, he doesn't give him money directly. Can't even get it out.
Originally, Sha Tang was going to sell the property and pawned the gold, silver and jade in the room. Anyway, it wasn't his own, so he didn't feel bad about it.
The Sha family has done a good job of saving face, and there are quite a lot of these things in his room.
Let Chen He know about this, and without a word, Sha Tang would definitely not accept money if he gave him money, so Chen He took the initiative to take care of all actions that required payment, including buying water and giving tips.
The servant rubbed his hands, a little afraid to accept it. Even though the Zhang family paid well, they had never seen so much money in 20 years.
Seeing that Chen He didn't speak, Sha Tang took the initiative to persuade him to accept it, saying that it was hard to talk and buy him water.
The servant accepted the bribe half-heartedly, sighing inwardly, as expected of the young master of a rich family, spending so much money to buy water, the water must have been imported from some other country.
At this time, the people's admiration for foreigners is particularly clear. No matter good or bad, they like to learn from foreign countries. As long as they come from abroad, they are good, and the price is reasonable. If they are cheap, they must be fakes.
This has also led to inflated prices of imported products, far exceeding the value of the goods themselves.
"Come with me, it's not convenient to talk here." The servant bent down and made a gesture of leading the way.
Sha Tang saw that this direction was not the direction of the small courtyard where the female corpse Zhang Jingxian was located.
Following the servant, the place where he finally stopped was indeed the small courtyard, only separated by a door, and when the wind blew, he could still hear the rustling of the woods outside.
The servant first wiped the stone bench in the small courtyard with his sleeve, then took out a towel from his pocket, wiped it again, and then invited Sha Tang and the others to sit down.
When the people sat down, the servant looked around again, making sure that no one was there, then lowered his voice and said: "The two young masters gave the boy a lot of money, and the boy can't and can't take this money for nothing, so I will Let me tell you something strange."
As he spoke, he looked around again, and looked at the small wooden door leading to the dry well with some trepidation.
"There are still a few people who know about this matter. Young masters can ask someone to verify it after listening to it. The boy is definitely not talking nonsense!" Probably because the latter words are more bizarre, afraid that Sha Tang and Chen He will not believe it, the servant first Swear an oath not to die.
Hearing Sha Tang frown, this kind of oath to curse himself and his family is really uncomfortable, but he can't say anything.
"This happened probably ten years ago, just Mr. Zhang," the servant looked up again, his face was a little pale, but he continued to talk because of the money in his pocket, "Mr. Zhang raised himself The eldest daughter is asleep."
Sha Tang let out a cry of surprise. Although he had heard this version from Zhang Jingxian, he thought that Zhang Zerun would cover up such things so that no one would know.
Seeing his surprised look, the servant thought he didn't believe him, so he hurriedly said: "Really, I dare not lie, this matter is so big, nonsense will be beaten to death!"
Sha Tang nodded, motioning for him to continue.
The servant breathed a sigh of relief, "At that time, all the servants in the main courtyard knew about it, and the young lady was only ten years old at that time, because it happened to be the second day of the young lady's birthday, so I remembered it very clearly."
"Mr. Zhang has some strange habits. He likes to call his subordinates to watch when he does that kind of thing. Basically, all of us in the main courtyard have been called to go."
Speaking of which, the servant scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, Mr. Zhang was not like this before. He was very kind to the young lady, and he even made a big deal on the young lady's birthday. Hey, the upper-class people from all over Nanjiang came for that meeting. It's not good. ."
As the servant spoke, he began to describe the scenery on his birthday, getting out of control.
But Sha Tang still found clues from this person's words.In the past, she was very kind to Zhang Jingxian, but the moment when everything changed was Zhang Jingxian's tenth birthday.
"After Mr. Zhang's wife passed away, why didn't he remarry?" Sha Tang interrupted the servant's beautiful description of the banquet.
The current eldest wife was married to Zhang Jingxian when she went to the Chang Mansion, and it took almost ten years.
The servant was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Because the lady didn't like it, Mr. Zhang was really kind to the lady at that time, and the lady mentioned it twice, and he took the initiative to say that he would not marry again, and wait for the lady to marry when she is an adult."
"Did Mr. Zhang change his personality after Miss Zhang's tenth birthday?"
The servant nodded blankly, probably because he didn't expect that what he wanted to say later would be preempted.
"That's right, Mr. Zhang liked it very much... um... holding a banquet at the mansion. It's the kind that invites girls from Hongloufang to come. Sometimes girls from good families come. The lady has said it several times, but Mr. Zhang Said it was to build a good relationship with those masters."
Sha Tang nodded thoughtfully, "After Miss Zhang gets married, will Mr. Zhang go to see Miss Zhang?"
The servant scratched his head, with a dazed expression on his face, "This kid doesn't know very well, Mr. Zhang won't tell us servants when he goes out."
"How much do you know about Miss Zhang committing suicide?"
Hearing this question, fear and panic flashed across the servant's face, he glanced at the small wooden door again, swallowed and said: "This... I heard that Miss was pregnant with someone else's child and was dismissed by the Chang family and returned to her mother's house. This...we don't know if it's true, anyway, people disappeared within a few days after returning home."
"Boom!"
Sha Tang tilted his head slightly, feeling that there was a strange sound just now, a bit like the sound of the door being knocked by something, and he looked at someone who had been acting as a wooden man by the side.
Chen He raised his eyebrows, walked to the small wooden door resignedly, crossed his arms, and leaned on it, his posture was like a door god.
The servant also heard the voice, and immediately trembled with fright, his face was a little ugly.
Today's cloud cover is very thick, but it's afternoon, the sky is extremely gloomy, the cold wind blows on the face and there is still traces of dampness, which makes people's complexion a little gloomy.
Sha Tang tilted his head, tapped his fingers on the table twice, "The last question, why did you bring us here to talk about this?"
Hearing this question, the servant's face turned pale, and his lips trembled. Even from a distance, he could hear the sound of his teeth clinking.
"Let's talk about it. I also have some knowledge of this yard. I know whether you have lied to me. I will also consider the authenticity of your previous words."
Not only did the servant's teeth chatter, but his whole body also began to tremble.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Sha Tang glanced at Chen He. After receiving the instructions, Chen He stood up straight.
The moment his shoulders left the wooden door, the sound of "dong dong dong" knocking on the door immediately exploded in the small courtyard, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, scaring the servant to kneel on the ground with a plop.
"I said, I said, there is a taboo in Zhang's family that you can't gossip about Mr. Zhang, especially bad words and things about men and women. It is said that the lady will be unhappy that Mr. Zhang's reputation has been ruined by others, and she will come to claim her life. Kill him, and no one is allowed to take the words out of the Zhang residence."
The servant was obviously very frightened, and his words were crying.
"So you brought us here because Miss Zhang committed suicide here?"
Sha Tang thought that he was lucky enough to meet an old servant who knew the inside story, an old servant who was bought by money.
The emotional servants are still ready to cheat, and they are not going to let them out of the house after taking the money. No wonder although they are timid, they are quite straightforward in telling the secret.
The servant didn't know where they knew these things, but seeing the calm attitude of the two of them, and the rattling wooden door, he was almost going crazy with fright.
"Tell me specifically about Miss Zhang's death claim." Sha Tang said indifferently, he didn't care about this person's thoughts, anyway, he couldn't hurt himself, and Chen He was standing beside him.
Amidst the noisy voice, Sha Tang's thoughts wandered for a rare moment. He suddenly realized that he and Chen He would have such a tacit understanding. With just a look and a movement, the other party could understand his thoughts.
Inexplicably, her cheeks became hot again, Sha Tang pretended to adjust her sitting posture, and turned her back to the man by the door, not wanting him to see her burning cheeks.
"I also heard from others about this matter. Miss Zhang couldn't let go of Teacher Zhang, so she stayed here all the time. The wooden door in this yard often made strange noises, and it would be reinstalled every now and then, so everyone said it was Miss Zhang. It was broken, and some people did die, so...so everyone believed it." The servant said with a sad face.
He didn't expect that he would offend the evil god because he was greedy for money. Although he had heard the saying that the ghost hit the door, he had been to this yard several times on weekdays, but he had never seen it before. Who would have thought that he would meet it today? up.
The sound of knocking on the door was getting louder and louder, like a death knell knocking on the heart.
"Master, the two young masters, please spare the little one, I dare not again, I, I, I... I will return the money to you, and I will not tell others that you have asked these things, really I swear, I, I, I ..." The servant was so frightened that he couldn't speak fluently.
Sha Tang looked at Chen He, wanting to see his opinion.
Chen He raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely pleased with Sha Tang's attitude, and smiled at the corners of his lips, "Just kill him, he is very likely to be a guiding npc, and restart after killing, so I don't remember this paragraph Remembered."
Sha Tang frowned and thought for a while, the servant couldn't understand what they said, but knew that Chen He's words meant to kill people to silence them, tears came out immediately, and he repeatedly kowtowed for mercy.
This situation made Sha Tang a little uncomfortable, and ordinary people in real society would experience this.
The person standing by the door walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "I'm coming, don't look!"
Sha Tang wanted to say something, but his eyes were covered by the man's big hand, "Good boy!" It was only one word, but it was like being shot in the heart by someone, and the sound of violent heartbeat echoed in his ears for a long time.
The ears seem to be covered by something, a little cold, the wind in the mountains blows the fallen leaves, the chirping of insects and birds, the clanging of wooden doors all disappear, the world becomes very dark and quiet, except for the constant temperature in the eyes.
Probably because there were not so many external disturbances, the figure of Chen He suddenly appeared in Sha Tang's mind. It was obviously his task, even if he wanted to kill someone, he should be the one to do it.
But this person took the initiative to bear it, not wanting him to be contaminated with dust.
Sha Tang's hand was holding the scarf, and the palm was close to the position of the heart. The beating there was so vivid and violent, as if she was telling some sweet thoughts, very loudly.
For the first time, Sha Tang felt an urge to kiss the person behind, not because of the viscous ambiguity, nor pure gratitude.
I just want to tell the other party the secret hidden in my heart through this action.
The wind blew with the fragrance of lilies of the valley, brushing up his broken hair, gently pursing his lips, unconsciously, the corners of his lips raised an arc.
"Why are you laughing?"
The man's voice was close to his ears, in a low voice, hitting his heart word by word, playing a beautiful rhythm.
"It's nothing." Sha Tang didn't tell the truth, he was a little confused, he didn't know how to make a choice, and now is not the occasion to say these things.
As if punishing, the man pinched his ear with the other hand, and then he felt something soft against the tip of his ear, and the sharp teeth rubbed the thin ear.
It's like a big dog with a beloved bone in its mouth, thinking about which angle to chew on.
"Did you know that you have two moles that look very good-looking." The man was still holding the tip of his ear, speaking vaguely, and moving it slightly from time to time, which made the tip of his heart tingle.
Of the two ears, one was pinched and played with by the man's hand, and the other was held in his mouth. The unusual temperature made Sha Tang tremble unconsciously, "What mole?" His voice was a little hoarse and soft when he spoke. , like a baby.
The man took a deep breath, and had no way to deal with the provocative and unaware person in his arms, "One is on the tip of your ear, it's small and very cute," Sha Tang understood, no wonder this person is always pestering him ears.
"The other is the tear mole under your eyes," the man paused, and moved closer, "I often dream that you are crying and begging me to be gentle, your eyes are red, and tears flow down the tear mole Flowing, beautiful as hell, obviously you told me to slow down, but I couldn't help but push harder, wanting to see you cry harder."
When the man said this, his voice was very low, he spoke very slowly, very seriously, and at the end he became a little hoarse and full of color|gassing.
Sha Tang felt his head buzzing, and he couldn't feel anything else. The blood in his body was hot, flowing down quickly, and his hands and feet were a little weak.
"You... shut up!" How can this person say such shameful words! !
Sha Tang was so embarrassed that he wanted to beat someone up. Now that there are servants, You Long and Ling Lan, there are so many idlers, how dare this person say anything! !
The man gave a low laugh, and then let go of his hands covering his eyes. The light shone into his eyes again, and the scene in front of him became clear.
Different from the bloody violence Sha Tang imagined, there was only an empty courtyard in front of him, except for the swaying lilies of the valley, it was the same as before, except that the servant was gone.
"Where are people?"
Chen He brushed away the broken hair covering his eyes, "You Long ate it."
Sha Tang was shocked: "Eat??"
Chen He nodded very positively, and the dragon floating next to him was like a gossamer, and said "yue!" very cooperatively.
Sha Tang: Very good, I can tell, not only did I eat, but I was full...
You Long looked at Sha Tang aggrievedly, trying to ask for some comfort: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! Lily of the Valley's vine whipped its whip and cried out in pain.
Sha Tang's eyes shifted and moved, and they fixed on Chen He. The man's face was full of hatred for iron, and when he saw Sha Tang's eyes, he immediately felt guilty.
"Do you often deal with npcs like this?"
"Ah... this..." Chen He tried to argue.
"Huh?" Sha Tang raised his voice at the end, the threat was self-evident.
Chen He bowed his head and said in resignation: "Yes!" He felt like he was on the gallows, feeling like a pill.
Sha Tang's heart was a little complicated. The other party was originally an evil spirit, and he couldn't be too harsh on the other party. If this was treated as a game, this kind of behavior itself was indeed no problem.
After all, you can feel sorry for the characters and monsters in the game, but if you criticize yourself or others for this, you really need to look at it.
It's just that this game is too realistic and always makes people immerse themselves in it. Perhaps what he really finds it difficult to accept is that Chen He himself belongs to the existence of the game, that is to say, he is just a set of data.
A set of data that will disappear when the delete button is pressed. If one day he completes the task and wants to leave the game world, it means that this person will be left here forever, and continue to wander around like this.
The old man of the Chang family looked a little ugly, even when he mentioned that his son who was about to die from the wind had never been so ugly.
After hesitating for a while, the old man sighed for the third time, this time it was extra long, he took a sip of tea and put the tea bowl on the table, "The old man doesn't really want to talk about this."
Chen He wiped away the false tears with a towel, and then said: "I heard that it is the young lady of the Zhang family, why don't we go and visit the Zhang family, we have such a good relationship with Shengmin, and we have never even met my sister-in-law. It really shouldn't be done, and I must go to plead guilty!"
He said as if he suddenly remembered something, and pretendingly looked at the old man of the Chang family whose mouth was twitching, "Oh, I forgot to ask, is sister-in-law still in the house or back to her mother's house?"
In this era, many women whose husbands are dead and have no children will choose to return to their natal homes, either to remarry, or to return to their natal homes to eat the old, if the natal homes are willing to accept it.
The muscles on the face of the old man of the Chang family unconsciously trembled a few times. Seeing that the two in front of him were eager to meet someone, he simply told the truth, after all, everyone knew about it.
Instead of letting these two elders of the family and the younger generation who still have some contact with him go outside to spread rumors about how many hands and how much water they have mixed, it is better for him to say it himself. Although it is embarrassing, it will not ruin his own reputation.
"This woman is also a shameless woman. If she couldn't keep my son, she would go out to steal sex. She didn't know whose child she was pregnant with. She wanted to rely on my son first, but my son never touched her. See If you can't rely on it, you can say it belongs to Mr. Zhang, your father, it's absurd, it's really absurd!"
Sha Tang asked curiously: "How can you be sure that Chang Shengmin really never touched her? Maybe it was some drunken sex?"
This kind of thing is not uncommon in men, and it can be said to be a classic quotation of a man being the king of the sea.
The old man of the Chang family touched his not-so-long beard in embarrassment, "This..." Looking at Sha Tang's sincere eyes, the old man sighed in his heart. It turns out that his sons are not all messy friends, and they don't even know about this matter. do you know……
Faced with his son's best friend when he was studying, and the ignorant and pure eyes, the old man of the Chang family broke his heart and told the truth, "Because Shengmin is a heavenly eunuch."
Sha Tang:? ? ?
Chen He:? ? ?
Chen He: "What is Tianjiao?"
Sha Tang looked at Chen He in shock. Are there any men who don't know this word?
The old man of the Chang family also looked at Chen He in shock, and marveled in his heart, what a good child, isn't he polluted by dust at all!
Seeing that the old man of the Chang family was a little embarrassed about this question, Sha Tang coughed twice, and explained in a low voice: "It's just born short and has no ability to reproduce."
Chen He let out a sudden realization.
This can explain why Chang's family members are very sure that this child is not Chang Shengmin's. This is an accurate judgment from the root cause!
"The woman couldn't explain clearly, so we sent her back to the Zhang family. Later, I heard that she committed suicide not long after. She is shameless compared to being a human being." The old man of the Chang family waved his sleeves angrily as he said.
This kind of thing is a huge scandal in anyone's family, especially in order to prove that the child is not a Changshengmin, the unspeakable secret has to be made public. Scandal x2, coupled with immediate wind, scandal x3.
Thinking about it this way, Sha Tang felt that the Chang family's feng shui was quite bad, and looked at the old man of the Chang family who was still angry with some sympathy.
"Then do you have any guesses about that child?" Sha Tang asked tentatively.
To a large extent, there was no answer to this question. Sure enough, the complexion of the old man of the Chang family changed again and again. In the end, he just said that he didn't know and didn't want to guess.
There is only one son in the Chang family, and Mr. Chang is old enough to have a son. It is indeed impossible at this age.
They briefly chatted a few more words, and considering that they had to go to the Zhang family, the two declined the meal and said goodbye to the old man of the Chang family.
The two went to Zhang's house again. They ran so much in the past two days that Sha Tang even took note of the shops they passed along the way.
In the car, for the sake of each other's personal safety, Chen He finally let go of Sha Tang's hand, with some unsatisfactory expression on his face, "Get out of the car in a while and continue."
Thinking of this man's snarky words, Sha Tang was speechless: "Drive!"
She silently put her hands into her bosom, because the time of holding hands was too long, even in the cold winter, Sha Tang's palms were covered with hot sweat, sticky, as if she had grasped a piece of melted maltose in her hands.
Taking advantage of the turn, Chen He's attention was on the rearview mirror, and Sha Tang quickly pressed the back of his hand to his cheek. As expected, the temperature was so hot that he felt like a patient with a persistent high fever.
What a shame! ! !
Sha Tang wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Today must be the worst day in his life.
"What do you want to eat?" Chen He turned his head to look at Sha Tang, but only saw half of the man's profile buried in the scarf like an ostrich.
Through the scarf, Sha Tang said sullenly that it is better to eat something simple. He has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is okay if he does not complete the task, but he will be more anxious when he has done half or more of the task.
Chen He thought about it, and decided to take Shatang to the place where they had breakfast before. The Xiaolongbao Shatang from that restaurant was very popular, and the wontons were also very good.
The two fought quickly, settled for lunch quickly, and then continued to Zhang's house.
They walked the right way this time, because before killing Master Zhang yesterday, Chen He specifically called and said that he would come to visit, so their reason was justified.
Different from yesterday, today's Zhang family's house looks particularly desolate. The red lanterns hung at the entrance are replaced by white ones because of the New Year. The white curtains are tied with a flower hanging on the plaque. You can faintly hear people walking out of the house. Howling.
The concierge who received them today was different from yesterday's. This one was older and looked much more stable.
The concierge was a little surprised when he heard the reason for their visit, raised his hand with the white sleeves on and scratched his head, "You two young masters, you didn't come in time, my master passed away in an accident yesterday, it's too much for you to make such a trip today."
Sha Tang and Chen He pretended to be surprised again, asking about the situation repeatedly.
The concierge got the order, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense to the outside world. Fortunately, the two people didn't make things difficult for him, they just asked him to submit the greeting stickers, and they all came, and they wanted to offer incense sticks to the old man.
He has seen a lot of difficult guests on weekdays, and when he met such a talkative person, the concierge also had a good impression in his heart, and told another concierge to guard the door, so he personally sent the greeting card.
Sha Tang and Chen He glanced at each other, probably after Mr. Zhang's assassination time, the Zhang family is in a state of panic now, even the concierge has been changed, in comparison to wanting to keep people out.
After waiting for a while, the concierge came back, followed by a middle-aged woman, Sha Tang was a little surprised to find that this person turned out to be the woman who led Chen He to the backyard.
At this time, she looked a little haggard, with a pale complexion and red and swollen eyes, but it was completely different from the strange look in her eyes that day.
"She is a guide on No Man's Way, and she will change her identity only when she gets the signal. She is usually Mrs. Zhang's wife." Chen He explained in a low voice next to Sha Tang's ear.
Sha Tang nodded almost invisible, that's why.
Seeing the two of them sorting out the broken hair at the sideburns in embarrassment, the eldest lady told the situation in the house again, and Chen He offered to offer incense sticks.
Considering Chen He's identity and the power of the Chen family that the husband had talked to her about before his death, the eldest wife still agreed. It is naturally best not to offend others in the current situation of the Zhang family.
On the way to the mourning hall, Chen He took the initiative to chat with the eldest wife and inquired about the specific situation of the house.
The eldest wife knew through her husband yesterday that Chen Heben was going to visit her today, so she was not too wary of him, as long as it was not secret, she basically answered every question.
From time to time, Sha Tang knew what happened to the Zhang family these days.
First, the backyard near the back mountain collapsed at night, and the door and the wall were out of shape. After repairing it for a long time, the door broke again. The eldest wife wondered about it for a long time, and went to see it twice during the day, but she didn’t see it. If something goes wrong, you can only find someone to fix it again.
She was a little superstitious, so she tried to get her husband to invite someone to get rid of evil spirits, feeling that something dirty was in the house.
In the end, she was scolded by her husband and said that she was a remnant of the feudal dynasty, and the eldest wife was depressed for a long time.
Not long after this happened, she went out to play cards, and was suddenly told by the servants that her husband had been assassinated. She still didn't know what method the other party used. She was standing in the courtyard, and suddenly she was killed by something. Something went through the head.
The police officer also checked the scene frequently, and found no murder weapon. The only thing that can be determined is that this is a homicide.
After all, it is a big family, and the mourning hall was built overnight, because they didn't know who the murderer was, and they didn't dare to tell the news. Although some people came here after hearing the news, they were basically persuaded to go back. The dead are unclean, and the evil energy must be removed to welcome guests.
People who can make friends with Master Zhang are mostly high-ranking officials who cherish their lives. Hearing this statement, they immediately retreated in all directions.
Due to the haste of the funeral, many places were too late to clean up. Only the white curtain was hung on the gate of the courtyard, which hung down long. From a distance, it looked like a woman in a white dress was stepping on her feet and looking into the courtyard.
This imagination frightened Sha Tang, and then he laughed at himself secretly, unexpectedly being frightened by his own imagination in broad daylight, really...
Xu Shi accepted the psychological suggestion, when passing through the courtyard gate with white curtains, Sha Tang inexplicably felt the chill on the back of his neck, like someone holding a knife against his skin.
Passing through the courtyard gate, we arrived at the mourning hall. The mourning hall looked a little rushed, obviously a room vacated temporarily, and some decorations in the room were placed on both sides of the door.
Seeing this, the eldest lady smiled awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, the incident happened suddenly, and things at home haven't been straightened out yet, so I made you laugh."
As she said that, she stopped the servant who came out of the mourning hall in a hurry, and told her to quickly remove everything at the door.
The servant didn't know what to do, and was so busy that his forehead was sweating. Hearing this, he quickly bowed and said yes, and ran to call for someone.
Sha Tang observed the situation of Zhang's house calmly, his eyes froze when he saw Mr. Zhang's posthumous photo, and then his mind went blank for a moment.
There is a plate of fruit on the temporarily moved altar table, the white candle has been half burned, and the wax oil is piled up on the black table. It is serious and upright.
It's just that the features on the face that should have been quite upright were blank in this posthumous photo...
"What's wrong?" Chen He noticed his strangeness and asked in a low voice.
Sha Tang glanced at him, then looked at the blank posthumous photo, and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any questions about this posthumous photo?"
Chen He looked at it very seriously, and pondered for a long time: "The photo is worn out? It looks a little too young."
Sha Tang was speechless, but after what Chen He said, Sha Tang also realized that only he could see this faceless black and white posthumous photo.
There were still a few juniors kneeling in the mourning hall, probably the younger generation of the Zhang family, sobbing softly.
Sensing that someone entered the mourning hall, some young people wanted to look up, but their heads were immediately suppressed by the older children next to them, and the children could only continue to shake their shoulders and burn paper, sniffing their noses from time to time.
Each took three sticks of incense from the hand of the servant next to him, and the two murderers bowed three times to the photo of the deceased.
Putting the incense in the censer, out of politeness, Sha Tang asked the servants of the Zhang family for two black gauzes. When walking around the house of the funeral home, in order to show respect for the deceased, he would tie black gauzes or black gauzes on his arms. cloth.
There was no need for the two of them, after all, no one could disrespect the dead more than them, but after all, they still had to walk around the house, at least they should feel at ease wearing them.
Chen He politely declined the eldest wife's desire to accompany her, saying that she wanted to cherish some memories in the yard.
The eldest wife was a little strange about this request, but considering the other party's family background, she wouldn't covet anything from their family. Those related to military secrets were all in the master bedroom in the backyard, so there was no need to worry if there were servants guarding there.
After they left, Sha Tang told Chen He about the faceless photos.
Chen He narrowed his eyes slightly, faceless...
"Do you remember that faceless man who was talking to you on the psychic vehicle?"
Sha Tang's eyelids twitched, and the memories in the car flooded in like a flood, the rainy morning, the creaking and swaying dilapidated bus, the night sky torn by lightning, and the one who said to him, "I made something Very shameful thing" of the faceless man.
"What do you mean?" Sha Tang asked with some uncertainty, he had some thoughts in his mind, but he was not sure if it was the same as Chen He's.
"It's probably him. I have dealt with a faceless man before. I forgot what his name is. Anyway, other ghosts call him a man in a sedan chair. It is said that he committed suicide in shame and indignation because he did something very embarrassing. Find a new face by yourself, and when you find the right one, tear off the whole face of someone and use it for yourself."
Sha Tang: "But won't the Zhang family find out?"
Chen He: "The sedan man's skinning method is quite unique. He will first remove the head of the prey's shadow, and then after the person is dead, he can tear off the face from the shadow's head."
"Then why can't you see it, and neither can the Zhang family, but I can see it." Sha Tang didn't quite understand, no matter how close or distant he was, he had nothing to do with Mr. Zhang.
Chen He lowered his eyes to look at Sha Tang, his eyes seemed to be twitching, and he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, his voice was unprecedentedly cold, "It means that you are being followed by him, only his next target will be yours." can be seen."
Sha Tang: ...
It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid. No one can remain calm knowing that he is being targeted by a ghost and may die at any time, but he also feels a little angry. The malice of this ghost is really inexplicable.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Sha Tang said in shock: "I seem to know who this sedan chair man is..."
Recently, he had actually met one who met the requirements. Although it didn't match the faceless man he had seen in the car, who stipulated that ghosts only have one face.
"Do you still remember when I snatched the flashlight when I was in Zhao Qingming's Small World?"
Seeing Chen He nodding his head, Sha Tang continued: "At that time there was a ghost chasing me. He kept patting a head, but as long as there was light, he and the head would disappear."
Sha Tang spoke faster and faster, and at the end of the story, he was basically sure that this ghost was the man in the sedan chair. He had something to do with the shadow, and would take off the shadow's head.
Having said that, Chen He also remembered that he was in Zhao Qingming's outer world at the time, and he didn't want to use props to intervene in the inner world until he noticed the fluctuations in the inner world.
There are only two situations in which the fluctuations in the other world can occur. One is that the protagonist’s will collapses, and the other is that the task personnel sent in are about to die.
When he arrived, the fluctuations in the inner world had stopped, and the guy who almost killed Sha Tang also ran away.
Afterwards, he searched for a long time but couldn't find that guy. If it was the sedan chair man, it would make sense. This ghost doesn't have any particularly brutal attack methods, but because of the special nature of the shadow, his concealment ability is very good, even if he doesn't appear , very few people can find him.
Chen He didn't think about it before, so he didn't pay attention to any abnormalities in the shadows around him. When he caught Shatang falling from the sky, that guy must have been hiding in the nearby shadows.
"It seems that Zhao Qingming took the opportunity to run in when his will was broken when he realized the map of Nanjiang. The black shadow that Zhao Qingming said probably refers to him." Chen He gritted his teeth and analyzed. .
Sha Tang was very curious. It turns out that ghosts can't enter the small world at will. He thought that ghosts can do whatever they want.
Chen He shook his head, "No, the system will regard ghosts as bugs if they forcibly intervene in the small world, and they will be repaired forcibly. If the presence is too strong, the small world will be restarted, similar to formatting."
That's why he always tried to intervene in the Sha Tang mission and failed repeatedly.
The two chatted, and soon arrived at the backyard. There were obviously a lot fewer servants here, and Sha Tang grabbed a servant casually.
He first inquired about Zhang Zerun's situation, probably because he was really lucky, the randomly selected servant turned out to be an old servant of the Zhang family, who had been working in the Zhang family for 20 years.
The servant was a little panicked when he was pulled back, thinking that he had done something wrong. Hearing Sha Tang's question, he froze for a moment, then looked left and right.
Seeing him like this, Sha Tang thought it was reasonable, and bent the person next to him with his elbow. Chen He took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into the servant's pocket.
It's not that Sha Tang doesn't want to give it, but that the old man of the Sha family is very good at doing things. If he doesn't like him, he doesn't give him money directly. Can't even get it out.
Originally, Sha Tang was going to sell the property and pawned the gold, silver and jade in the room. Anyway, it wasn't his own, so he didn't feel bad about it.
The Sha family has done a good job of saving face, and there are quite a lot of these things in his room.
Let Chen He know about this, and without a word, Sha Tang would definitely not accept money if he gave him money, so Chen He took the initiative to take care of all actions that required payment, including buying water and giving tips.
The servant rubbed his hands, a little afraid to accept it. Even though the Zhang family paid well, they had never seen so much money in 20 years.
Seeing that Chen He didn't speak, Sha Tang took the initiative to persuade him to accept it, saying that it was hard to talk and buy him water.
The servant accepted the bribe half-heartedly, sighing inwardly, as expected of the young master of a rich family, spending so much money to buy water, the water must have been imported from some other country.
At this time, the people's admiration for foreigners is particularly clear. No matter good or bad, they like to learn from foreign countries. As long as they come from abroad, they are good, and the price is reasonable. If they are cheap, they must be fakes.
This has also led to inflated prices of imported products, far exceeding the value of the goods themselves.
"Come with me, it's not convenient to talk here." The servant bent down and made a gesture of leading the way.
Sha Tang saw that this direction was not the direction of the small courtyard where the female corpse Zhang Jingxian was located.
Following the servant, the place where he finally stopped was indeed the small courtyard, only separated by a door, and when the wind blew, he could still hear the rustling of the woods outside.
The servant first wiped the stone bench in the small courtyard with his sleeve, then took out a towel from his pocket, wiped it again, and then invited Sha Tang and the others to sit down.
When the people sat down, the servant looked around again, making sure that no one was there, then lowered his voice and said: "The two young masters gave the boy a lot of money, and the boy can't and can't take this money for nothing, so I will Let me tell you something strange."
As he spoke, he looked around again, and looked at the small wooden door leading to the dry well with some trepidation.
"There are still a few people who know about this matter. Young masters can ask someone to verify it after listening to it. The boy is definitely not talking nonsense!" Probably because the latter words are more bizarre, afraid that Sha Tang and Chen He will not believe it, the servant first Swear an oath not to die.
Hearing Sha Tang frown, this kind of oath to curse himself and his family is really uncomfortable, but he can't say anything.
"This happened probably ten years ago, just Mr. Zhang," the servant looked up again, his face was a little pale, but he continued to talk because of the money in his pocket, "Mr. Zhang raised himself The eldest daughter is asleep."
Sha Tang let out a cry of surprise. Although he had heard this version from Zhang Jingxian, he thought that Zhang Zerun would cover up such things so that no one would know.
Seeing his surprised look, the servant thought he didn't believe him, so he hurriedly said: "Really, I dare not lie, this matter is so big, nonsense will be beaten to death!"
Sha Tang nodded, motioning for him to continue.
The servant breathed a sigh of relief, "At that time, all the servants in the main courtyard knew about it, and the young lady was only ten years old at that time, because it happened to be the second day of the young lady's birthday, so I remembered it very clearly."
"Mr. Zhang has some strange habits. He likes to call his subordinates to watch when he does that kind of thing. Basically, all of us in the main courtyard have been called to go."
Speaking of which, the servant scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, Mr. Zhang was not like this before. He was very kind to the young lady, and he even made a big deal on the young lady's birthday. Hey, the upper-class people from all over Nanjiang came for that meeting. It's not good. ."
As the servant spoke, he began to describe the scenery on his birthday, getting out of control.
But Sha Tang still found clues from this person's words.In the past, she was very kind to Zhang Jingxian, but the moment when everything changed was Zhang Jingxian's tenth birthday.
"After Mr. Zhang's wife passed away, why didn't he remarry?" Sha Tang interrupted the servant's beautiful description of the banquet.
The current eldest wife was married to Zhang Jingxian when she went to the Chang Mansion, and it took almost ten years.
The servant was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Because the lady didn't like it, Mr. Zhang was really kind to the lady at that time, and the lady mentioned it twice, and he took the initiative to say that he would not marry again, and wait for the lady to marry when she is an adult."
"Did Mr. Zhang change his personality after Miss Zhang's tenth birthday?"
The servant nodded blankly, probably because he didn't expect that what he wanted to say later would be preempted.
"That's right, Mr. Zhang liked it very much... um... holding a banquet at the mansion. It's the kind that invites girls from Hongloufang to come. Sometimes girls from good families come. The lady has said it several times, but Mr. Zhang Said it was to build a good relationship with those masters."
Sha Tang nodded thoughtfully, "After Miss Zhang gets married, will Mr. Zhang go to see Miss Zhang?"
The servant scratched his head, with a dazed expression on his face, "This kid doesn't know very well, Mr. Zhang won't tell us servants when he goes out."
"How much do you know about Miss Zhang committing suicide?"
Hearing this question, fear and panic flashed across the servant's face, he glanced at the small wooden door again, swallowed and said: "This... I heard that Miss was pregnant with someone else's child and was dismissed by the Chang family and returned to her mother's house. This...we don't know if it's true, anyway, people disappeared within a few days after returning home."
"Boom!"
Sha Tang tilted his head slightly, feeling that there was a strange sound just now, a bit like the sound of the door being knocked by something, and he looked at someone who had been acting as a wooden man by the side.
Chen He raised his eyebrows, walked to the small wooden door resignedly, crossed his arms, and leaned on it, his posture was like a door god.
The servant also heard the voice, and immediately trembled with fright, his face was a little ugly.
Today's cloud cover is very thick, but it's afternoon, the sky is extremely gloomy, the cold wind blows on the face and there is still traces of dampness, which makes people's complexion a little gloomy.
Sha Tang tilted his head, tapped his fingers on the table twice, "The last question, why did you bring us here to talk about this?"
Hearing this question, the servant's face turned pale, and his lips trembled. Even from a distance, he could hear the sound of his teeth clinking.
"Let's talk about it. I also have some knowledge of this yard. I know whether you have lied to me. I will also consider the authenticity of your previous words."
Not only did the servant's teeth chatter, but his whole body also began to tremble.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Sha Tang glanced at Chen He. After receiving the instructions, Chen He stood up straight.
The moment his shoulders left the wooden door, the sound of "dong dong dong" knocking on the door immediately exploded in the small courtyard, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, scaring the servant to kneel on the ground with a plop.
"I said, I said, there is a taboo in Zhang's family that you can't gossip about Mr. Zhang, especially bad words and things about men and women. It is said that the lady will be unhappy that Mr. Zhang's reputation has been ruined by others, and she will come to claim her life. Kill him, and no one is allowed to take the words out of the Zhang residence."
The servant was obviously very frightened, and his words were crying.
"So you brought us here because Miss Zhang committed suicide here?"
Sha Tang thought that he was lucky enough to meet an old servant who knew the inside story, an old servant who was bought by money.
The emotional servants are still ready to cheat, and they are not going to let them out of the house after taking the money. No wonder although they are timid, they are quite straightforward in telling the secret.
The servant didn't know where they knew these things, but seeing the calm attitude of the two of them, and the rattling wooden door, he was almost going crazy with fright.
"Tell me specifically about Miss Zhang's death claim." Sha Tang said indifferently, he didn't care about this person's thoughts, anyway, he couldn't hurt himself, and Chen He was standing beside him.
Amidst the noisy voice, Sha Tang's thoughts wandered for a rare moment. He suddenly realized that he and Chen He would have such a tacit understanding. With just a look and a movement, the other party could understand his thoughts.
Inexplicably, her cheeks became hot again, Sha Tang pretended to adjust her sitting posture, and turned her back to the man by the door, not wanting him to see her burning cheeks.
"I also heard from others about this matter. Miss Zhang couldn't let go of Teacher Zhang, so she stayed here all the time. The wooden door in this yard often made strange noises, and it would be reinstalled every now and then, so everyone said it was Miss Zhang. It was broken, and some people did die, so...so everyone believed it." The servant said with a sad face.
He didn't expect that he would offend the evil god because he was greedy for money. Although he had heard the saying that the ghost hit the door, he had been to this yard several times on weekdays, but he had never seen it before. Who would have thought that he would meet it today? up.
The sound of knocking on the door was getting louder and louder, like a death knell knocking on the heart.
"Master, the two young masters, please spare the little one, I dare not again, I, I, I... I will return the money to you, and I will not tell others that you have asked these things, really I swear, I, I, I ..." The servant was so frightened that he couldn't speak fluently.
Sha Tang looked at Chen He, wanting to see his opinion.
Chen He raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely pleased with Sha Tang's attitude, and smiled at the corners of his lips, "Just kill him, he is very likely to be a guiding npc, and restart after killing, so I don't remember this paragraph Remembered."
Sha Tang frowned and thought for a while, the servant couldn't understand what they said, but knew that Chen He's words meant to kill people to silence them, tears came out immediately, and he repeatedly kowtowed for mercy.
This situation made Sha Tang a little uncomfortable, and ordinary people in real society would experience this.
The person standing by the door walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "I'm coming, don't look!"
Sha Tang wanted to say something, but his eyes were covered by the man's big hand, "Good boy!" It was only one word, but it was like being shot in the heart by someone, and the sound of violent heartbeat echoed in his ears for a long time.
The ears seem to be covered by something, a little cold, the wind in the mountains blows the fallen leaves, the chirping of insects and birds, the clanging of wooden doors all disappear, the world becomes very dark and quiet, except for the constant temperature in the eyes.
Probably because there were not so many external disturbances, the figure of Chen He suddenly appeared in Sha Tang's mind. It was obviously his task, even if he wanted to kill someone, he should be the one to do it.
But this person took the initiative to bear it, not wanting him to be contaminated with dust.
Sha Tang's hand was holding the scarf, and the palm was close to the position of the heart. The beating there was so vivid and violent, as if she was telling some sweet thoughts, very loudly.
For the first time, Sha Tang felt an urge to kiss the person behind, not because of the viscous ambiguity, nor pure gratitude.
I just want to tell the other party the secret hidden in my heart through this action.
The wind blew with the fragrance of lilies of the valley, brushing up his broken hair, gently pursing his lips, unconsciously, the corners of his lips raised an arc.
"Why are you laughing?"
The man's voice was close to his ears, in a low voice, hitting his heart word by word, playing a beautiful rhythm.
"It's nothing." Sha Tang didn't tell the truth, he was a little confused, he didn't know how to make a choice, and now is not the occasion to say these things.
As if punishing, the man pinched his ear with the other hand, and then he felt something soft against the tip of his ear, and the sharp teeth rubbed the thin ear.
It's like a big dog with a beloved bone in its mouth, thinking about which angle to chew on.
"Did you know that you have two moles that look very good-looking." The man was still holding the tip of his ear, speaking vaguely, and moving it slightly from time to time, which made the tip of his heart tingle.
Of the two ears, one was pinched and played with by the man's hand, and the other was held in his mouth. The unusual temperature made Sha Tang tremble unconsciously, "What mole?" His voice was a little hoarse and soft when he spoke. , like a baby.
The man took a deep breath, and had no way to deal with the provocative and unaware person in his arms, "One is on the tip of your ear, it's small and very cute," Sha Tang understood, no wonder this person is always pestering him ears.
"The other is the tear mole under your eyes," the man paused, and moved closer, "I often dream that you are crying and begging me to be gentle, your eyes are red, and tears flow down the tear mole Flowing, beautiful as hell, obviously you told me to slow down, but I couldn't help but push harder, wanting to see you cry harder."
When the man said this, his voice was very low, he spoke very slowly, very seriously, and at the end he became a little hoarse and full of color|gassing.
Sha Tang felt his head buzzing, and he couldn't feel anything else. The blood in his body was hot, flowing down quickly, and his hands and feet were a little weak.
"You... shut up!" How can this person say such shameful words! !
Sha Tang was so embarrassed that he wanted to beat someone up. Now that there are servants, You Long and Ling Lan, there are so many idlers, how dare this person say anything! !
The man gave a low laugh, and then let go of his hands covering his eyes. The light shone into his eyes again, and the scene in front of him became clear.
Different from the bloody violence Sha Tang imagined, there was only an empty courtyard in front of him, except for the swaying lilies of the valley, it was the same as before, except that the servant was gone.
"Where are people?"
Chen He brushed away the broken hair covering his eyes, "You Long ate it."
Sha Tang was shocked: "Eat??"
Chen He nodded very positively, and the dragon floating next to him was like a gossamer, and said "yue!" very cooperatively.
Sha Tang: Very good, I can tell, not only did I eat, but I was full...
You Long looked at Sha Tang aggrievedly, trying to ask for some comfort: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! Lily of the Valley's vine whipped its whip and cried out in pain.
Sha Tang's eyes shifted and moved, and they fixed on Chen He. The man's face was full of hatred for iron, and when he saw Sha Tang's eyes, he immediately felt guilty.
"Do you often deal with npcs like this?"
"Ah... this..." Chen He tried to argue.
"Huh?" Sha Tang raised his voice at the end, the threat was self-evident.
Chen He bowed his head and said in resignation: "Yes!" He felt like he was on the gallows, feeling like a pill.
Sha Tang's heart was a little complicated. The other party was originally an evil spirit, and he couldn't be too harsh on the other party. If this was treated as a game, this kind of behavior itself was indeed no problem.
After all, you can feel sorry for the characters and monsters in the game, but if you criticize yourself or others for this, you really need to look at it.
It's just that this game is too realistic and always makes people immerse themselves in it. Perhaps what he really finds it difficult to accept is that Chen He himself belongs to the existence of the game, that is to say, he is just a set of data.
A set of data that will disappear when the delete button is pressed. If one day he completes the task and wants to leave the game world, it means that this person will be left here forever, and continue to wander around like this.
