Chapter 14 The Thirteenth Flower Girl

Cold night, cloudless, but with stars.Under the faint starlight, the back of this mysterious flower girl seemed very familiar, an acquaintance he had seen before.She did not use lightness kung fu, nor did she run.But Ma Rulong couldn't catch up with her. When he performed Tianmatang's famous lightness kung fu, she was suddenly five or six feet away, and when he chased after him, she was even further away. He slowed down, and she slowed down.He stopped, and she stopped. It seemed that although she didn't want him to catch up with her, she didn't want to throw him very far either.

Ma Rulong asked suddenly: "Do you not want me to see you, don't you want me to know who you are?" No answer, no denial. Ma Rulong smiled: "Unfortunately, I already know who you are." The flower girl suddenly laughed too.In this lonely cold night, her laughter is like a cup of hot wine, which can warm people's whole body. "You should know." She chuckled, "Because you're not too stupid." Of course she is Da Wan.She had been startled away by a flower girl, but now she was wearing that flower girl's clothes, and even the flower basket in her hand belonged to her.Where did the mysterious flower girl go?

Of course, this is not the only thing that Ma Rulong can't figure out. Dawan's life experience, martial arts, and origin are all too mysterious. How could she be buried in the ice and snow that day?Master Jue, Taoist Yu, these top martial arts masters, why are they so afraid of her?Everything about her is not something anyone can explain with common sense.The longer he spent with her, the less he could understand her. Of course he won't go.Every time she appears, something wonderful and mysterious will happen.What kind of things is she going to do this time, and what other strange tricks are she going to do?He really wanted to see it.Dawan's tricks really came.A cunning light flashed in her smiling eyes again, and she suddenly said, "I know you've always been courageous, so this time I'm going to take you to a strange place."

"What are you going to do?" "To meet someone," Da Wan seemed to be pretending to be mysterious: "A very strange woman." "I've seen her?" "Probably once." "You mean the flower girl?" "You really aren't stupid," Da Wan stared at him and asked, "But I don't know if you dare to meet him?" Of course Ma Rulong dared to go.Even if the flower girl was a cannibal monster, he would still go. Da Wan blinked and asked again: "You don't regret it? After meeting her, no matter what happens, you don't regret it?"

Ma Rulong's answer was absolutely perfect. "I've done so many things that I should regret, what does it matter if I do one more thing?" Da Wan laughed again. "It doesn't matter." Her laughter was as clear as a bell: "It doesn't matter at all." So they go.On the way, Ma Rulong kept thinking, where would she take him this time?He thought about many strange places, but he still couldn't imagine that she would bring him to the yamen of this county. Although the county magistrate's official position is only seventh rank, he is a parental official in one place, and the majesty of the county government office is far greater than what Ma Rulong imagined.

The gate was closed, and they entered by the side door. This was Ma Rulong's first time entering the yamen, the drums for grievances on the high shelf, the boards and sticks in the lobby, various instruments of torture and quiet signs, everything made him very curious.What surprised him the most were those official servants wearing red tasseled caps.Although the county magistrate has already retired, there are still officials on duty in the yamen, and you can see one or two on every stretch of the road.These officials seem to be all blind, and they have never seen these two people at all.

None of the officials is blind, he and Da Wan obviously walked past them.How could they not see?Could it be that Da Wan used some mysterious magic again?Turn him into an invisible man? There is a gloomy courtyard behind the lobby, and there are also two officials wearing red tasseled caps waiting outside. Ma Rulong walked over suddenly and said, "Hey, did you see me?" The officer ignored him, didn't even look at him, but went to ask another officer. "Did someone talk just now?" "No." "Did you see anyone?" "No, I didn't even see a ghost."

Ma Rulong realized that he had encountered another terrible thing. If Dawan hadn't pulled him into the yard, he really wanted to squeeze them hard to see if they would hurt? Da Wan is smiling. "Even if you do somersaults in front of them, they won't see it." "why?" "Because they are all sensible people, and they all understand when to pretend to be dumb." She suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know where this yard is?" Ma Rulong didn't know.But he already sensed an indescribable ghostly aura about this place. "This is where Wu does the autopsy," Da Wan said casually, "As long as there are murderers in the county, the corpses must be sent here first, so that Wu can test the cause of death."

Ma Rulong hadn't seen the corpse yet, nor had he smelled the blood, but his stomach had already started to feel very uncomfortable.In this place, no one will feel very comfortable.Why did Da Wan bring him here? The two rows of houses in the yard are not only unlit, but also have no windows.But in the last room on the right, not only is the door closed, but there seems to be a light shining through the crack in the door.Da Wan walked over. Ma Rulong couldn't help asking: "The person you want to bring me to meet is in this house?" "Why don't you go in and see for yourself?" She pushed open the door.

Sure enough, the room was lit with a lamp, a dim lamp, and a wooden bed.The bed was covered with a snow-white sheet, and there was a person under the sheet.The sheet was obviously too short. Although it covered the person's head and face, it did not cover her feet. The first thing Ma Rulong saw was her feet.It was a pair of snow-white feet, with slender ankles and soft toes.No matter who saw these feet, they should be able to see that they were the feet of a pair of women, and they should also be able to imagine that this woman must be beautiful. In that dark narrow alley, Ma Rulong didn't see the face of the flower girl, and now he can imagine it.He couldn't help sighing.

"She died?" "Looks like it is." "You killed her?" Da Wan replied flatly: "She has always looked down on me, always thought that she is more capable than me, and can knock me down at any time. I ran away as soon as I saw her, and it was precisely because she wanted her to underestimate me." ——Underestimating one's opponent is always an unforgivable mistake. Da Wan said leisurely: "She really underestimated me, so now I am standing, she has fallen down, it looks like she is dead." Ma Rulong couldn't help asking again: "It just looks like he's dead?" "Ok." "Actually, she's not dead yet?" "Why don't you go and see for yourself?" Da Wan smiled mysteriously: "See better." If you want to see clearly, you have to lift the sheet.Ma Rulong lifted the cloth sheet and immediately put it down again, his face suddenly turned red, and his heart beat twice as fast as usual.Although he still couldn't see it very clearly, he didn't dare to take another look. The woman under the sheet was completely naked.He had never seen such a beautiful woman, such a beautiful figure, such a beautiful face. It would be a pity if such a woman really died. Da Wan asked again: "Look, is she dead?" Ma Rulong couldn't tell. Da Wan said: "Just by looking at her, of course you can't tell whether she is dead or alive, but you should at least be able to see that there are not many women as beautiful as her." Ma Rulong admitted. Da Wan said: "Then you should see that she is not dead yet." Ma Rulong said: "Why?" Da Wan sighed softly, and said: "Because she is so beautiful, even I am reluctant to let her die, even if I really want to kill her, I can't bear to do it." Ma Rulong also sighed. Da Wan said: "Why are you sighing?" Ma Rulong said: "Because I realized that I am really stupid." Da Wan said: "How did you find out?" Ma Rulong said: "Now that I have seen her, I also believe that she is not dead, but I don't understand more and more." Da Wan said: "Don't understand what?" Ma Rulong said: "Do I recognize her?" Da Wan said: "I don't know." Ma Rulong said: "What does she have to do with me?" Da Wan said: "Not until now." Ma Rulong said: "Then why do you want me to see her?" Da Wan said: "Because although you don't have a relationship now, you will definitely have one in the future." Ma Rulong said: "What will it matter in the future?" Da Wan smiled even more mysteriously: "There are some things I can't tell you right now, but I can guarantee that what I want you to do will never make you regret it." Ma Rulong said: "Now what do you want me to do?" Da Wan said: "I am going to take you to meet another person." Ma Rulong said: "Who are you going to see?" Da Wan said: "A person who likes you very much, you seem to like him a little too." Ma Rulong asked: "How do you know that I like him?" Da Wan said: "As long as people who have met him, it is very difficult not to like him." Ma Rulong immediately thought of someone who made it hard not to like him: "Jiangnan Yuwu?" Da Wan said: "Who else is there besides him?" Ma Rulong said: "Is he here too?" Da Wan said: "It's on the opposite side." Ma Rulong said: "What are you doing?" Da Wan smiled again: "What he is doing, you will never guess in your life."
