Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Spirit Cards and Strange Things

The red sun is getting darker, and the sky is full of sunset. Miss Lan sat on the steps in a daze, resting her chin on her hands, and stayed there all afternoon. She was so bored that she dozed off several times. Jiang Xiaohu took money to make money, why hasn't he come back yet? The Jiang family was much better during the day than at night. Although it was still a bit gloomy, the golden sunshine added a little color to it, and there were a few unknown wild flowers blooming in the yard. In fact, the house is quite beautiful, why didn't I find it yesterday?Miss Lan looked at the door curiously for a long time, finally stood up from the steps, hesitated for a moment, pushed the door lightly and walked in.

A bouquet of wild flowers on the window sill is really lovely. I am used to seeing the exquisite peonies, camellias, plum blossoms, crabapples, and daisies in the vases in the room. The maids can conjure up new patterns almost every day. Miss Lan never thought that wild flowers would bloom so beautifully. Looking at her As a result, she became more and more complacent, looking carefully back and forth, thinking that Jiang Xiaohu would be happy to see it when he came back, right? Inadvertently, behind the head, a slight sound of wind passed by. The chill quickly rose from the spine, Miss Lan shivered, she practiced martial arts since she was a child, of course she would not let such an obvious movement go, how could there be a sudden wind in a good yard?

She turned around suddenly, her eyes widened, and she shouted sharply, "Who!" The yard was empty, as silent as before, with weeds lazily basking in the sun, without even the slightest tremor at the tip of the leaves, as if nothing had happened. Sweat dripped from the palms of his hands. Miss Lan slowly retreated to the center of the courtyard. Even though the sun was shining on her head, her body couldn't help shivering, and the hairs on her neck were all standing up - she really felt it just now, Someone is right behind her. Is it a human or a ghost? Thinking of last night's strange incident, Miss Lan sneered, and secretly mobilized her internal energy: "I know you were the one who played tricks last night, who are you, come out!"

boom!There was the faint sound of windows opening and closing. Attic on the left!Miss Lan didn't even think about it, she tiptoed, and her petite body flew up like a swallow, and landed lightly and delicately on the attic in the blink of an eye. The sun was shining on the attic, and the tentacles were covered with dust. The two windows were still vibrating, making a slight creaking sound. Sure enough, someone is doing tricks on purpose!Miss Lan immediately let out a long breath of relief, and at the same time, she did not forget to concentrate on her precautions, and said coldly, "Who? Come out!"

no respond. "Won't you come out?" She sneered, kicked open the door and walked in. A few altars were lined up in front of them, covered with thick dust, and the original color of the tables could hardly be seen. In front of the altars was a large copper incense burner. There was no smoke in the stove. miserable. The familiar chill hit, and Miss Lan couldn't help turning pale, she stepped back a few steps before standing still, and then looked at all this in front of her in horror. Dozens of spiritual tablets are impressively listed on several columns of altars! The spirit card of the Jiang family!

A ray of coolness ran across the neck like a poisonous snake, as if someone was standing behind him, blowing air on purpose.If you turned around suddenly at this moment, what would you see? Miss Lan clenched her fists and said in a trembling voice, "Who?" boom!The door closed suddenly behind him. Shocked and frightened, she finally turned around. Apart from her, there was no one else in the room, or maybe...they were no longer human beings, but innocent souls!Could it be that they already know something, so they are not fair? Unable to restrain the fear in her heart any longer and resisting the feeling of dizziness, Miss Lan retreated step by step to the door, finally let out a cry of surprise, quickly opened the door and escaped.

Yongcui Building. It was still dark, and the gaming table was already full of people, all of them were sweating, their faces were red or white, and their eyes were fixed on the dice on the table. beautiful girl. "Jiang Xiaohu! Have you seen Jiang Xiaohu?" Miss Lan yelled for a long time, and finally lost her patience. She picked up the collar of one of them and yelled into his ear, "I ask you, did you see Jiang Xiaohu?" No lake!" The man was playing vigorously, when he was interrupted for no reason, and immediately became furious, but after he saw that there was a beautiful girl in front of him, his anger immediately turned into a lewd smile: "What's the matter, girl?"

Miss Lan didn't care too much: "I'm looking for Jiang Xiaohu, Jiang Xiaohu is here!" "Jiang Xiaohu?" The man was surprised, and looked her up and down, "What do you want him for?" "Where is he?" "He lost the money in a bet, and he is probably enjoying himself on Miss Huan's bed right now!" The man smiled ambiguously, and blinked, "It's better if the girl is looking for him..." ring girl?Miss Lan's anger was serious, her eyes widened immediately, her teeth were gritted secretly, she ignored what he said later, she quickly threw the man away, and ran upstairs in three steps at a time.

"Jiang Xiaohu, get out!" Kicking open the door, Miss Lan ran straight to the bed angrily, and pushed the stunned delicate girl away with her palm, picked up the panicked Jiang Xiaohu on the bed, and grabbed him by the collar of his chest. "Hello, let me wait at home and come here to fool around by myself!" Sneered. "Old... Wife!" "You still know my wife," Miss Lan said angrily, "Where's the money?" Jiang Xiaohu's face was even paler, he didn't dare to look at her, he hesitated: "This..." "Where's the silver?"

"I lost." Miss Lan's eyes darkened, and she left him silent. "Is she the tigress you mentioned?" The girl next to her understood, covered her mouth and laughed, pretending to be panicked, "Oh! It's no wonder that men are most afraid of tigresses. Seeing you, you scare him to such an extent. Second look..." A slap in the face, crisp and loud. "You...you dare to hit someone?" It took the girl a long time to react in the exclamation, and she quickly covered her cheek with her white hand, and she was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on her face, "Xiaohu, she ..."

Miss Lan ignored it, grabbed the earthy lake above the bed, and threw it out the window. There was a sudden exclamation from the street downstairs. She clapped her hands, turned around and walked out the door. When she reached the girl, she stopped again and sneered, "I'll teach you, it's best not to provoke a tigress in the future." After speaking, he walked out. It was night, and the screams of Jiang's family could not be heard incessantly, so that every household around them closed their doors tightly, and no one dared to make a sound. "My wife, please forgive me!" "Oh, I don't dare anymore!" "I'm going to die!" "My wife, don't be angry." "Why don't you tell me not to be angry!" Miss Lan just waved her fists desperately to greet him, and yelled angrily, "It's fine if you lose the money bet, how dare you go to that kind of place!" "Honey, are you hungry?" "..." Seeing her stop, Jiang Xiaohu hurried forward regardless of the pain on his body, took out a paper bag from his arms, and handed it to her with both hands, the room was filled with fragrance immediately. "Honey, eat something before calling." Miss Lan stared at him for a long time before murmuring, "Where did you come from?" Jiang Xiaohu lowered his head, and said cowardly: "I'm afraid that if you lose all your money, you won't have anything to eat, so I went to buy half a chicken and keep it for you." The fist is slowly lowered. After a moment of silence, Miss Lan suddenly rushed forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and sobbed softly: "Xiaohu, can you become more useful?" "Okay," Jiang Xiaohu panicked and nodded repeatedly, "Don't cry, I won't go to Yongcui Tower again." "Don't fool around with Miss Huan either!" "it is good." After crying for a long time, Miss Lan let him go, gently lifted his clothes to check carefully, and then touched the bruises on his body distressedly: "Does it still hurt?" Because of crying, her eyes looked a little swollen, and there were still tears in them. Against the light, they were shining brightly, which was really beautiful. The white and slender fingers gently stroked the body, it was numb and a little itchy, Jiang Xiaohu was almost brittle, and immediately shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." I don't know how long it took before the oil lamp turned off automatically. Except for the position of the window that could be distinguished by the ray of light, the whole room was dark and I couldn't see anything clearly. The two snuggled up on the straw bed. Thinking of the strange things that happened during the day, Miss Lan pulled Jiang Xiaohu nervously: "I'm afraid..." In the darkness, Jiang Xiaohu sighed, and stretched out an arm to hug her: "Didn't it be fine yesterday, why are you afraid today?" Clinging to her warm chest, Miss Lan whispered, "I saw a lot of spirit cards today." "Spirit card?" Surprised. "That's right, those are in the attic next door," Miss Lan seemed to understand something when she said this, her whole body froze immediately, and her tone of voice suddenly changed, "You...couldn't you see it?" "Aren't all the rooms here empty?" The familiar coldness hit, and Miss Lan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her body began to tremble: "No... I can see clearly, why don't we go and see tomorrow?" "Okay," Jiang Xiaohu didn't care, and comforted her, "You are my wife and a member of the Jiang family, and they won't harm you." "En." In a low voice. "Xiaohu, your parents, and so many people in the Jiang family died unjustly, don't you want to take revenge?" "Revenge for what?" Jiang Xiaohu was taken aback, "I dare not kill anyone." "Then do you know why your parents died?" "have no idea." "You idiot, idiot!" Miss Lan was angry, "They clearly want your Jiang family's ancestral 'Daylight Convulsion Sword' manual, and that... baby." "That's right," Jiang Xiaohu seemed to think of something when she mentioned it, "They arrested me and questioned me a few times back then, but I remembered my grandfather's order, and they never came again without saying anything. I've been looking for it." Speaking of this, he seemed a little scared: "I saw with my own eyes that they wanted to burn my feet with a red-hot iron..." Miss Lan patted him on the back and sighed: "Then... do you know where those two things are?" "I have seen the sword manual, it has already been burned by grandpa." "Burn it?!" Miss Lan lost her voice. "yes." "Then...how about baby?" "What baby?" Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Miss Lan pushed him angrily: "It's the rare treasure that everyone in Jianghu knows, when you were born, fell into the Jiang family." "This..." "how." "can not say." "I'm your wife, can't you tell me?" "Yes," Jiang Xiaohu sighed seriously, "Grandpa told you not to tell me about that treasure even if you die, otherwise I will not be allowed to enter the gate of Jiang's house again. Look, my wife, if I don't live in Jiang's house now, there will be no The place is gone." "It's up to you, I don't care about this." Miss Lan snorted, took his hand away, turned over and fell asleep. Not long after, there was a gentle breathing sound in his ears. Miss Lan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking about the strange things that happened in the attic during the day, she secretly felt hairy, those spirit cards were real to herself, and there was no way they were fake, could it be that the ancestors of the Jiang family were actually manifesting spirits... The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, she couldn't help touching the small lake beside her with her arm, and softly called: "Xiaohu!" There was no answer, as if he had fallen asleep. The familiar coolness came again. No, there are people in the room!This intuition became stronger and stronger, and Miss Lan was startled and frightened, she opened her eyes wide vigilantly, trying to make herself see more clearly. Yes, that thing should be standing by the door! "Xiaohu! Jiang Xiaohu, get up!" She was anxious, pushing and pinching the person beside her, but Jiang Xiaohu still didn't move at all, and seemed to have fallen asleep. Letting him go in despair, Miss Lan asked tremblingly, "Who!" no answer. "who are you!" The thing still didn't answer, however, Miss Lan discovered another terrible thing - it started to move, and it was slowly approaching the bed of the two of them. Can't hear breathing, can't hear footsteps, it's as light as a ghost, or, it was originally a... The blurred light revealed the outline of a human figure, and it stopped quietly beside the bed, neither moving nor making a sound. What does it know, and what does it want to do?Unable to bear this atmosphere of fear any longer, Miss Lan jumped up from the bed, stretched out her slender right hand, and made a "pick orchid gift medicine" move. This trick "Plucking orchids and presenting medicine" is actually the first move of the Lan family's ancestral unique skill "Lan Xinzhi", which implies thirteen changes, it is really the best choice when taking the initiative to attack, and it has the biggest advantage, It is to be able to restrain the seven big acupoints on the opponent's body in a moment.Miss Lan has practiced this trick many times since she was a child. The power she uses is naturally not small, and she is familiar with it without any trace of bluntness. She is absolutely sure that she will not miss when dealing with ordinary masters, even if she closes her eyes. . However, the other party is not an ordinary master, and it is not even known whether it is human or not. With a slight sound of the wind, Miss Lan found that the thing disappeared from her face lightly and skillfully without warning, like a ghost, soundlessly. where is it hiding "Come out!" cried hysterically. "Huh—" A coolness swept over my ears. Miss Lan quickly turned around. There is nothing behind. hallucination?No, besides himself and Jiang Xiaohu, there is indeed something else in this room!And Jiang Xiaohu wakes up in the wild every day, probably because of it!What exactly does it want to do, most importantly, is it a human or a ghost?Miss Lan tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, and her whole body collapsed limply on the bed. moment. "Xiaohu! Xiaohu, wake up..." She tried to push Jiang Xiaohu next to her, trying to wake him up, but then, she immediately discovered another terrible thing. He was holding a handful of straw in his hand. Jiang Xiaohu, who had been lying beside him all this time, had disappeared! what happened? Something seemed to explode in her head, Miss Lan finally lost control and passed out. In the blurred light, two figures slowly came out of the darkness, and one of them squatted down in front of her. half an hour. He stood up, shaking his head and sighing: "If I were to marry such a beautiful wife for nothing, I wouldn't be happy in time. I never imagined that this girl's life would be very miserable, and she would meet someone who refuses to pity her." "Is it easy for you to be this wife?" With a wry smile. "She's smart." "And the strength is not small. Look at these injuries, they are more than the beatings I have suffered in my whole life." Speaking of this, her voice turned depressed again, "I would rather she be stupid." "I have good medicine here, do you dare to use it?" "Don't worry, I still want to live a few more years." Not in a good mood. "I'm your friend anyway, why don't you trust me?" "If you say there is poison, I will believe it." The two laughed. "Will you help with that matter?" "Are you sure he'll come out?" "Will." "Are you sure?" "good." "But I never do business at a loss, it's mine." After a long silence, someone finally couldn't help but shouted: "It's strange, I don't understand, what are some people doing with so many treasures that they can't eat or drink? Do you want to give you a coffin?" "It makes sense, I want gold, and it can't be too small." "This man will show off even after he dies." He murmured. "I like to show off, and I prefer to show off in front of poor boys." In a pleasant tone, the man stretched his waist, and his cloak spread like a bat. "You can do the rest of tonight, remember me golden coffin." Amidst the laughter, the black shadow disappeared.
