[Comprehensive] The Hundred Stories of Qingxingdeng

Chapter 31

After Qing Xingdeng finished two stories in succession, the king's servant went to the room where the candles were placed again and blew out the second candle.

After the servant came back, the king finally couldn't restrain his curiosity, and asked in puzzlement, "Why do you put a hundred candles in one room?"

Qing Xingdeng, who was lazily leaning on the reclining chair, raised her red lips slightly. Her smile was as beautiful as an orchid in an empty valley, but it also carried an indescribable little bit of fascinating and dangerous fragrance, almost transparent. The ice-blue butterfly with wings landed on the tip of her hair, and Qing Xingdeng said mysteriously: "When I finish all the stories, why these candles are placed, the king will naturally know. Before the answer is revealed, let us continue to keep Wouldn't it be nice to have a bit of mystery to look forward to?"

Even though the king's heart has changed drastically because of the queen's betrayal, and he has shown extraordinary cruelty to the women, but in the face of such a beautiful foreign beauty, the king finally maintained his demeanor.

"I have to say, you make me look forward to it very much." The king ordered his servants to bring fine wine to pour the Qing Xing Lantern, and he shook a delicate wine glass filled with golden wine in his hand, "In the world in your story It’s so strange and yearning, they are so new to me, it’s too early maybe you’d like to go on and on for me?”

The king raised his eyebrows, his gentle face didn't look like a cruel monarch at all: "Tell me something more special and distinctive?" The king is indeed very interested in the stories of foreign countries and the world in the stories. Because of this feeling, the king has no intention of killing the foreign beauty in front of him for the time being.

There was a faint smile on Qing Xingdeng's face, her eyes seemed to be looking at the king in front of her, and she seemed to be looking at something behind the king, she tilted her head, and the ice blue butterfly flew up and landed on her fingertips again, Qing Xingdeng lowered his eyes, and laughed lazily, "It's my honor. As long as the king wants to hear it, I will keep talking... The next story is related to the bus."

"What's a bus?"

"A bus... is a carriage similar to a horse-drawn carriage. They can carry a larger number of people on a fixed route, and only charge a very small amount of money within that driving range... Repeatedly."

……

There were three young men standing on the platform with thick packages in their hands, waiting for the bus.

It was midnight now, the dark sky was covered by dark clouds, and only the slightly yellow light of street lamps on the side of the road could illuminate the small area around.

It was a little cold at night, and the three young men were wearing not much clothes. They shrunk their necks and put the sweaters and hats on their heads, stomping their feet and rubbing their hands from time to time.

The only woman, Fangfang, was standing next to her boyfriend Heishan, shivering from the cold. Looking at the deserted street, she complained, "Could it be that there are no buses now?"

Long Er put his hands in his pockets, put his arms close to his body and stomped his feet: "Impossible, I checked everything, there must be a bus heading to the city at this time."

Heishan changed the bag in his hand to hold it in the other hand, and used the vacant arm to host Fangfang, and said calmly: "Probably because the place we are in is too remote, and it's still at this time, so we should wait a little longer." of."

Fangfang curled up in Heishan's arms and shook her body and stopped talking.

The three waited patiently for another 5 minutes. Long Er almost jumped up happily when he saw the light of the car in the distance. He said loudly, "Look! Is that a bus!"

Heishan and Fangfang looked, and they saw that it was a bus with "Route 04" written on its head.

After seeing it clearly, Fangfang turned her head and glanced strangely at the somewhat crude stop sign on the side of the road, but she didn't find the words "Road 04" on it.However, the place where they are now is indeed very remote, and it is possible that the stop sign is incomplete.

Under Long Er's urging, Hei Shan and Fang Fang got into the bus together.

The doors of the bus were closed after the three of them got on the bus, and the driver sitting in front started the bus again, and the bus started running smoothly.

After getting on the bus, Long Er glanced inside the car and found that besides the driver, there were two people sitting on the bus.

A white-collar woman in a white A-line skirt who seemed to be asleep, and a child sitting in a corner with her head hanging down, the long hair was probably a girl.

Long Er ran all the way to the last row of the bus and sat down. Heishan and Fang Fang followed behind him, sitting opposite Long Er.

Hei Shan carefully stuffed the package in his hand under the seat, and before he straightened up, Long Er patted his shoulder.

"Hello." Long Er pointed in the direction of the little girl with his chin, "That kid is so strange, he actually appeared on the bus at this time, did he run away from home?" The female white-collar worker may be working overtime On the bus, but it's too strange for such a child to appear on the bus on this section of the road at this time.

Hei Shan stared at the child who had been lowering his head for a while, then glanced at Long Er and whispered: "Don't be so nervous, you see that the driver is a woman, maybe this child belongs to her family?"

Long Er thought it was possible, nodded and leaned back, took out his phone from his pocket and started playing.

Sitting next to Heishan, Fangfang hugged Heishan's arm and said with a smile, "It's still warm in the car, but it's really cold outside. Is it already this cold at night?"

Montenegro smiled and said nothing, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket to play.

Fangfang glanced at Heishan's mobile phone, and found that Heishan and Long Er were chatting in their group, so she took out her mobile phone and clicked on the group of the three of them.

The social software used by the group of the three of them is not any kind on the Internet, but specially designed by Montenegro.

There are not many dazzling functions, it can only be used for chatting, sending pictures, voice and video, but this is enough for the three of them.The biggest benefit of this software for the three of them is that it can be kept absolutely confidential.Only the fingerprints of the three of them can be opened, and only the three of them can use it, which makes it extremely convenient for them to discuss some things without worrying about secrets being leaked.

Fang Fang scrolled up and saw the message sent by Long Er.

Long Er: How to deal with things when they go back?

Ryuji: Maybe we can go on a trip together?Have a good time.

Ryuji: This way you can avoid the police.

Montenegro: Don't think about these things, just do what you should do after you go back.

Ryuji: What about those things?

Montenegro: Didn't these things be divided equally before?Don't be in a hurry.

Montenegro: You know that the police will investigate more closely these days. If a large sum of money suddenly comes out, none of us will be able to explain it.

Ryuji: All right.

After reading these chat records, Fang Fang glanced at Long Er who lowered his head, and then looked at Montenegro.At the same time, Heishan also turned his head to look at Fangfang, and then a somewhat sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and blinked at Fangfang with the light in his eyes.

Seeing this, Fangfang glanced at Long Er, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down and didn't know anything, and smiled silently, turning his head away, so as not to let Long Er discover any clues.

She leaned against the back of the chair, opened the phone webpage and started searching for the latest news, and found the news she was looking for after a while.

It was a kidnapping news. A rich man's only daughter in this city was kidnapped, and the kidnapper demanded a ransom from the rich man.

That was the news three days ago, and there were many follow-up reports after that. The reporters were very enthusiastic about this case and followed up the report from beginning to end.

The rich man has a son and a daughter in his family. It is said that the rich man's son was supposed to be kidnapped, because everyone knows that the rich man loves his future heir more, but for some unknown reason, it was the rich man's daughter who was kidnapped in the end.

The ransom demanded by the kidnappers is very high. Although it is not an unbearable amount for the rich, most of the property of the rich is fixed assets. It is very difficult to take out so much liquidity at once, and maybe they will give it to themselves. Companies cause a lot of trouble.Regal seemed very hesitant about this at first, and he kept silent until he received a courier containing one of his daughter's fingers.

This case caused a lot of trouble throughout the country. The rich man's wife fell ill after receiving the courier, and his son seemed to go crazy.After that, Regal finally made it clear that he was willing to use money to redeem his daughter, hoping that the kidnappers would not hurt his daughter.

After that, there was an offensive and defensive battle between the police and the kidnappers.

There were not many reports on the following news networks. After all, the police kept it strictly confidential, and those reporters who desperately wanted to get the first-line news were also strictly guarded.

But Fangfang knew that the reporters would get the first-hand information after dawn at most.

Those reporters would write headlines like "The kidnapper got the ransom, but the rich daughter was torn apart" on various reports.

That would definitely be big news.

In fact, the kidnapper didn't want to tear up the ticket at first, but the rich daughter was really too noisy, not only almost ran away, but also tore off the mask on the kidnapper's face during the fight with the kidnapper.

Now that her face was seen, she couldn't spare her life.

Fangfang still remembered the expression on the face of the rich man's daughter when she died, it was so painful and hideous that it was distorted.Her neck was hung and looked long and thin.Those eyes were even more bloodshot, and his entire face was bruised and purple.

It was once a very beautiful little girl, but she died like a ghost.

Thinking of the girl's eyes when she died, Fang Fang couldn't help but shuddered again, her whole body got goosebumps from the coolness.She raised her hands and rubbed her arms, frowned and looked around, muttering, "The windows aren't open either." Why is it so cold?

Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of a police car coming from far and near. The three of Fangfang raised their heads and lay down on the window to look outside.They saw four police cars speeding past the bus, and the changing colors of the flashing police lights were reflected on their faces for a few seconds.

The police cars drove so fast that they passed the bus in no time.

Unable to tell whether it was nervous or excited, the three of them pressed their faces against the glass and looked at the four police cars that were going further and further away. They didn't sit back in their seats until they couldn't see clearly.

The three of them looked at each other, and they could see the expression of suppressed fear and excitement in each other's eyes. Then they looked at the other two in the bus. The white-collar woman was still sleeping, and the child was still bowing her head.

The three of them took out their mobile phones and chatted in the group again.

At this moment, the bus that had never stopped suddenly stopped.

Fangfang looked up, and found that the child who had kept his head down had walked to the door of the car at some point.Because she was sitting too far back, she couldn't see the child's face clearly.

But after the child stood up, Fang Fang found that the clothes on the child looked a little strange.

It didn't look like the style of clothes that children would wear nowadays, and the color was too red to make people feel uncomfortable, and the child's stomach looked a little big, as if he had some kind of illness.But looking at the child's skinny arms exposed outside, it reminded her of those children who were starving all day long. Because of insufficient food and malnutrition, their abdominal edema finally looked like they were pregnant in October.

Is he going to get out of the car?

Fangfang thought so, but saw that the child did not get out of the car after the door was opened, but bent down and stretched out his hand to the position under the stairs.

"What is he doing?" Fangfang touched Heishan with her elbow.

Heishan stretched out his head and took a look: "...There seems to be someone outside?"

The bus stopped for a little while, and the driver sitting in front didn't even turn around, just sat there so quietly.Outside the opened car door, it took a long time before an arm slowly came in and rested on the child's hand.

It was also a child's arm, but it looked older than the child bent over in the car.But at that height, is the child outside crawling on the ground?

"There are really all kinds of passengers on this big night." Long Er said dissatisfied, the voice is not too low, and the people in the car can hear clearly.

But no one paid him any attention.

The child outside was indeed crawling.

After the child was pulled up by the children in the car, Long Er, who was about to get up and go to have a look, suddenly constricted the pupils of his eyes.

He watched the child who was pulled in stand up while holding his chair, watched the child straighten his head by touching his crooked and slender neck, watched the child slowly turn around and look at him, and finally the straightened head returned Abnormally crooked past...

He saw the familiar child walking towards him...
