Chapter 153 The Peony Fairy
Jiang Shouzhong feels that this world is getting more and more magical.
Out of nowhere, someone came to steal the groom for his master. But it is enough to show that the master is ugly, otherwise he would not let his subordinates kidnap people so hungry and unbearable.
Faced with Jiang Shouzhong's ridicule, Jin Ao was not angry and said with a hearty smile:
"You can tell by yourself whether you are ugly or not. But I never force others to do anything. If you don’t like to eat soft food, then forget it. After all, it’s not sweet, is it? ”
"I like to eat soft food, but I don't like to eat your master's food."
Jiang Shouzhong refused very clearly.
Jin Ao nodded, "Well, I understand, so be it."
The man stood up and left.
Jiang Shouzhong blinked, looking stunned.
Leaving now?
Are kidnappers so polite nowadays?
After watching the man go upstairs and into the house, Jiang Shouzhong let go of the handle of the knife at his waist and cursed in a low voice, "Crazy."
The waiter in the shop was full of resentment. Cleaning up the mess.
The inn proprietress was cursing and apologizing to the guests who had just been affected, and served another table of food and drinks.
The guests didn't dare to say anything, so they could only complain and sulk.
After all, this girl has big fists.
The inn proprietress is in her thirties, with an ordinary appearance, a plump figure, and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
My waist twists and turns as I walk, which is quite charming.
The proprietress walked to Jiang Shouzhong's table and looked at Zhang Queer's beauty, so she kindly reminded her in a low voice: "Little girl, ignore that woman. That kind of woman has no sense when she goes crazy. Just try to hide as much as possible.”
"Thank you, boss lady, for reminding me."
Zhang Queer's eyes turned into crescent moons, and his smile became sweeter and more lovely.
Er Liang silently remembered it in her heart, and said with equal gratitude: "Mrs. Boss, we will try to hide away."
The proprietress touched Er Liang's little head, and couldn't help but feel this simple little girl. Feeling a little fond of it, he said with a smile: "If you are hungry and want to eat something, just go to the kitchen and ask for it. I will say hello in advance."
"Thank you, boss lady, we will pay for it." 2 Two crisp voices said.
The woman burst out laughing after hearing this. She turned her head and glanced at Yelu Miaomiao, with a glimmer of light in her eyes, and said with a smile: "This girl looks like she has a lot of good fortune, and she will definitely marry into a good family in the future."
< br>Yelu Miaomiao continued to maintain a cold image and sneered at the boss lady's praise.
At this moment, a familiar figure came into the inn.
It was actually Prince Zhou.
And there are no guards around him, he is the only one.
Seeing Zhou Min, Jiang Shou's heart moved, and his intuition told him that the other party might have come to see him specially.
As expected, Zhou Min's eyes quickly scanned the lobby, and he soon spotted Jiang Shouzhong. A smile immediately broke out on the man's face and he walked straight away.
Zhou Min still held the white lantern in his hand.
"Brother Jiang, I have finally found you."
Zhou Ji sat across from Jiang Shouzhong very familiarly, placed the lantern on the four sides of the table, and said with a smile, "I think you should I’m staying in an inn, but there are several inns in Muling County, so it’s not easy to find.”
Jiang Shouzhong frowned and asked: "Master Qi, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Ji nodded and said helplessly: "Brother Jiang must have noticed something was wrong with the strange wind before. It was most likely caused by a monster. The county government is quite tight-lipped, and some people asked for confidentiality. Although I am a relative of the county magistrate, I can't find out anything."
Zhou Dian paused and continued: "I remembered. Brother Jiang is a six-door dark lamp with outstanding abilities. I wonder if Brother Jiang is interested in investigating this kind of monster thing?"
Jiang Shouzhong apologized: "I'm sorry, as a six-door dark lamp in the capital? There are strict regulations in Deng, and you cannot accept work in private unless there are special circumstances. But now that the officers and soldiers have sealed the city, there must be some countermeasures, so I will not get involved."
" That’s a pity.”
Zhou Min said with a look of regret, "I am too curious but timid. Brother Jiang doesn't want to get involved, so I don't dare to investigate. Originally, I was thinking of catching a beautiful vixen."
He touched the lantern and sighed.
The innkeeper’s wife brought tea, put it on the table, turned and left.
Zhou Jian thanked him, looked at the graceful and plump figure of the landlady, and couldn't help but admired: "I think the landlady still has her charm." After saying that, he realized that there were two little girls beside him, and he coughed dryly. A sound.
Zhang Queer couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Why are you holding a lantern in broad daylight?"
Zhou Meng generously held the lantern and placed it in front of the girl. He pointed at the word "吉" on it and said with a smile: "This is not an ordinary lantern, but a Buddhist exorcism lamp. It was created by Wuchan Temple's " It is made by reciting the "Wan Fa Yun Hua Jing", look at this word, there is a lot of elegance in it."
Zhang Queer and Erliang came forward to take a look curiously, and sure enough they found that the word "吉" seemed to be composed of countless words. It consists of small Sanskrit characters.
"With this lantern, ordinary monsters can't get close to you."
Zhou Jian smiled and said, "Which one of you wants it? Just treat it as a meeting gift."
Erliang immediately shook his head.
Zhang Queer curled her moist lips and said, "It's not rare."
Zhou Yan felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose in embarrassment. He suddenly lowered his voice and said to Jiang Shouzhong mysteriously: "Brother Jiang, Do you want to know why Muling County is closed? I have some gossip, I don’t know whether it is accurate or not, but it sounds very mysterious.”
Jiang Shouzhong wanted to shake his head, but his curiosity was aroused. Yelu Miaomiao couldn't help but asked: "What news?"
As soon as the girl asked the question, she subconsciously raised her head and looked at Jiang Mo. When she saw the other person frowning slightly, she couldn't help but spit out her tongue. Realized that I was talking too much.
Zhou Min was already talking to himself, "It is said that an infatuated man searched hard for ten years to find the woman he loved, and finally found that she was hiding in this small town. Here, in order to prevent the other party from escaping, the city was sealed off with great fanfare..."
As he spoke, Zhou Min grinned. He may have realized that the story he made up was too outrageous. He said seriously: "Actually, the truth is that there is a peony fairy hidden in this town... uh, it should be the peony flower." The demon is very important to someone. If you eat it, you can get some benefits. As for the benefits, I don’t know.”
When Jiang Shouzhong heard the words “peony flower demon”. There was a flash.
But Yelu Miaomiao looked as usual.
"Forget it, since Brother Jiang doesn't want to investigate, then I won't force it." Zhou Ji suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "I won't bother Brother Jiang anymore. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to the county." Find me at the Yamen Mansion."
Zhou Min picked up the lantern and left the inn.
Zhou Min, who walked out of the inn, glanced at the lantern in his hand and chuckled: "The small inn is full of monsters, it's very interesting."
...On the second floor of the inn, Long Yuanyuan's room.
Fu Huren stood timidly in front of the frosty-faced eldest lady, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, eldest lady, I was useless. I couldn't stop those two people, so I had to let them go." Do it yourself.”
“Fu Huren, what’s going on with you?”
Long Yuanyuan said angrily, "Why are you clinging to me?"
Fu Huren blushed, gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, I'm afraid you'll be deceived! That Wen Tong is really not Good guy, I even suspect that he is not a human, but a demon——"
Crack!
A slap hit Fu Huren hard on the face.
Long Yuanyuan pointed at the other person's nose, her eyes fierce and angry, "If you dare to say anything bad about Wen Lang again, I will kill you!"
Long Yuanyuan's lips trembled and she pointed her finger at the door again, "Get out!"
Fu Huren covered his face and walked out of the room silently.
In the next room, Wen Tong listened to the quarrel between the two people outside and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile on his lips.
He leisurely opened the folding fan in his hand, swayed gently, cast his eyes towards the dim sky outside the window, and whispered to himself: "Peony, peony...where are you hiding?"
Immediately, the figure of Zhang Queer appeared in his mind, and his brows could not help but frown slightly.
"It shouldn't be. There are obviously traces of the ghostly evil spirit, but there is no demonic possession. Although there is some violence, it is not enough. This girl is a bit weird."
...
The rest of the day was quiet and peaceful.
Even the originally gloomy sky seemed to become brighter, as if it had washed away the gloom that had been weighing on everyone's hearts for the past two days and brought a sense of relaxation.
Jiang Shouzhong was bored, so he told Erliang and the others stories.
It's about the Legend of White Snake.
At first, only Erliang was willing to listen, but then Zhang Queer came over, and then Yelu Miaomiao, who was originally dismissive, squeezed next to the man and pricked up his ears to listen.
At the end, Mengniang also came over.
Hearing that the White Snake was being pressed by Fa Hai under the Leifeng Pagoda, Meng Niang was so angry that she almost lifted the table and said angrily: "The stinky bald donkey has bullied our Snake Clan too much! If you dare to suppress me like this, I will definitely kill all the monks in Jinshan Temple... no, all the bald donkeys in the world!"
After cursing, Meng Niang began to feel dazed again.
White Snake married Xu Xian in order to repay her kindness, and was eventually crushed under the Leifeng Pagoda.
And she married Mo Ruye in order to repay her kindness, and was eventually suppressed in that haunted house for twenty years. The two of them were not so similar.
Even Mengniang doubted whether Jiang Shouzhong deliberately used her story to fabricate a legend of the White Snake on the spot.
Because what Jiang Shouzhong told was a tragic version, Erliang burst into tears. There was no other way, so Jiang Shouzhong had to tell a happy reunion version, and the girl's mood improved slightly.
Compared with Erliang's sadness, Zhang Queer is mostly angry.
The scarlet in his eyes flickered from time to time. If he couldn't control it, he might have gone to the street to find a monk to vent his murderous intention.
Early the next morning, the third day of the lockdown, the sky became gloomy again, and it began to drizzle.
Jiang Shouzhong brought the four girls to the lobby for breakfast.
Maybe it was the last day of the lockdown, but the atmosphere in the lobby was much more pleasant than before.
Jiang Shouzhong sat down in a familiar position as usual. However, the table next to them was no longer occupied by Long Yuanyuan and his party, but was replaced by the two big men who had suffered humiliation yesterday.
As for Long Yuanyuan and the other three, they chose to sit near the door.
The two big men did not dare to raise their eyes and look directly at Long Yuanyuan throughout the whole process. They just lowered their heads silently and concentrated on eating their own meals.
After the meal, they hurried back to their room without staying much longer.
Before leaving, one of the big men couldn't help but glance at Long Yuanyuan, with a cold look in his eyes, revealing a bit of unwillingness and resentment.
“If you don’t cut the grass and root out the roots, you will regret it sooner or later.”
Zhang Queer muttered.
Jiang Shouzhong gave the girl a chestnut angrily, "You are the most sober in the world. Eat your food well."
Seeing a grain of rice porridge stuck to the corner of Yelu Miaomiao's lips, Jiang Shouzhong subconsciously reached out and wiped it away gently.
The girl was stunned and said nothing.
“Fuck! My treasure box is missing!”
At this moment, a roar came from the second floor, but it was the big man who had been taught a lesson by Long Yuanyuan.
He rushed out of the room in a panic, came to the table where he was sitting, and searched anxiously, but seemed to find nothing.
The big man was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He glanced eagerly in the spacious lobby and asked loudly: "Has any of you seen my treasure box?"
Guests in the lobby No one responded.
The landlady also hurried out and asked eagerly what happened.
The big man said: "I have a yellow treasure box that is missing. It has a mouse-like pattern engraved on it."
But Erliang was stunned and subconsciously looked back at Wen Dong next to Long Yuanyuan... When she was getting hot water for her master in the morning, she accidentally saw Wen Tong holding a yellow box in his hand.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that Erliang's move was caught by the big man.
He quickly asked: "Girl, have you seen her?"
Erliang was a little at a loss and looked at Jiang Shouzhong.
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said, "Tell the truth, it's okay."
Erliang was determined and pointed at Wen Tong, "I saw him enter the room with a yellow box in the morning."
< br>As soon as these words came out, everyone’s eyes fell on Wen Tong.
Long Yuanyuan was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about, stinky girl!? I see that it was you who stole it, so you framed someone else!"
