Chapter 8 Don't Open the Door (Please recommend for collection)

bang bang——

"Watch out for the candles."

The sound of beating watch came ethereally from the distant streets, and at some point there was a thin mist on the long street. Under the door plaque with "Liu's Mansion", the wealthy households in the city who came one after another were warmly invited by the stewards of the mansion. Go in, have acquaintances, say hello to each other and come in hand in hand.

Turn around the feng shui wall of "spring water and birdsong", the aisle is inlaid with bricks and stones, and at the end of the extension is a two-story front yard building. The musicians who came plucked the strings and played the suona, and on the hollow stage, several wooden puppets about one foot in length played the vocal music.

Right in front of the stage, a dozen or so tables were filled with guests and friends, noisy and noisy, and among the cups of wine, there were lines of beautiful maids, dragging long skirts and carrying dishes, coming from both sides of the stage in a long line, and setting them to the wine tables one by one.

In the hollow of the stage, the seniors danced dolls and recited their lines. Occasionally, they watched the lively banquet through the gaps, and whispered: "There are so many rich people in the city."

After the above line, the puppet in San'er's hand stepped back from the stage, and then took a look.

"I don't know us, so it doesn't matter if there are more, junior brother, don't you think so?"

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yuan on the other side of the stage, and the latter smiled: "It really has nothing to do with us. Others have money, either their parents earned it hard, or they rely on their own ability."

The elder brother curled his lips, and then looked outside, his eyes were full of envy.

During the noisy banquet in front of the stage, old man Zhao was invited for the first time. Sitting with so many gentry in the city, he couldn't help but straighten his back. Liu Yuanwai, who came over from another table to toast, thanked him.

"Lovely, you let me be seated, but you have made friends with many wealthy families. We talked about several of them just now. This time, it is thanks to the support of Yuanwai."

A little drunk, the old man Zhao's words were incoherent, but he was still sane. He pulled Yuanwai Liu aside and asked softly, "Didn't Yuanwai tell them what happened last night?"

Member Liu squinted his eyes at the bustling banquet, then suddenly smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder.

"For joy, naturally there are many people. If I tell them, no one dares to come over?"

Hey~~
Old man Zhao quickly covered his mouth and hiccupped. Seeing Yuanwai Liu who turned around and continued to greet the guests, he suddenly felt that it was a mistake to stay in the woodcarving show.

"Should I discuss it with Chen Yuan and the others? I will move out tonight after the performance."

Outside the gate of the courtyard, the two nursing homes listened to the bustle inside and yawned long. The fog on the long street spread and gradually thickened, rising in the sight of the nursing courtyards.

"The fog seems to be getting thicker."

"It's strange. I could see it just now, but I couldn't even see the opposite side after a while."

The two talked in a low voice, but their eyes did not leave the turbulent water mist. The vast expanse of whiteness made people a little scared.For a moment, when the two were talking, there was the sound of metal and iron colliding in the fog.

Ding ding ding. The sound of iron chains echoed in the fog.

The lantern hanging on the gate of the courtyard was also shaking at this time, the flames flickered on and off. One of the guards looked at his companions, walked carefully to the stone steps, and tried hard to see the source of the sound. The next moment, his expression froze. , trembling and strenuously moving his steps, his companion hurried over to help him and asked him what was going on.

The former pointed at the thick fog behind him tremblingly, but he couldn't speak with his mouth open.The guard tilted his head in the direction he pointed, his pupils constricted instantly.

In the white mist, I saw a figure of nearly two feet walking slowly step by step in the mist accompanied by the sound of clanging iron chains.

In the courtyard of the Liu Mansion, the lively atmosphere is still going on. The guests who are too drunk are not interested in watching the woodcarving show on the stage. They form small circles with acquaintances to chat about homework, or talk about which brothel in the city. The prostitute is very skilled, and Gai'er is going to ask for advice tomorrow, which makes everyone laugh.

No one watched the woodcarving show, and Chen Yuan also took a break after performing the show in her hand, and was arranged by Yuanwai Liu to eat at a table where no chopsticks were touched.

"After eating, tonight, I have to trouble everyone in the theater troupe to make it a night in front of my son's room. The price is a little extra. The old man and troupe leader Zhao have already talked about it."

"It doesn't matter, it's not a matter of sleeping, the members don't worry about it, our theater troupe has nothing else, it's very positive." The senior brother stuffed a piece of fat into his mouth, and boldly patted his chest to assure.

Chen Yuan, who eats food with chopsticks and chopsticks, puts the Guan Gong woodcarving on her lap and clings to her. She has her own plans for both sides. Yuanwai Liu entertains the theater troupe in order to tie up the tall man and help his son. wake up.The old man Zhao and the elder brother wanted to get some more money from it.

'I have to find an opportunity to talk to the class leader, and I will leave later. '

Thinking about it, he put down his chopsticks, and just when he called out to Old Man Zhao, he stammered and called out from the vertical flower gate: "Master, Master!"

The sound was not obvious in the noise here, but someone still heard it, and saw a guard with a face as white as paper, stumbling over, when he went down the steps, his feet were unsteady, and he staggered to the ground, and a guest passed by He helped him up, only to find that the nursing home was cold and shaking like a sieve.

"Waiyuan, what happened to your nursing home?"

Liu Yuanwai, who was talking to the troupe here, came over frowning, and Chen Yuan and the three senior brothers also followed to see what was going on.In the field of vision, the nurse's face was pale and his lips were trembling. When he saw Yuanwai Liu, he barely managed to make a sound.

"My lord, there are people out there looking for the young master."

"Looking for Bo Yuan?" Member Liu was taken aback for a moment, but felt that something was wrong. How could anyone come to visit at this time?What's more, the nursing home was so frightened.

He was about to ask, "Who is that outside the door?" At the same time, there was a loud knock on the door, suddenly coming from the front.

Bang!
Bang!
The knocking sound can be heard here, which shows how powerful it is.The group of guests who had been drinking too much suddenly woke up from the wine, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to speak for a while.

Bang bang bang.
After knocking on the door several more times, Member Liu couldn't sit still. Thinking that there were experts in the troupe, he gritted his teeth and greeted the guests present, as well as Troupe Master Zhao. A group of people went over to see what was going on.

More than 30 people gathered together, with a little bit of courage, surrounded by Liu Yuanwai, walked around the Fengshui wall, and came to the gate of the courtyard, where there was a guard guarding the courtyard, but the whole body was sitting paralyzed against the door leaf On the ground, with eyes open and tears streaming down his face, he was obviously scared and cried.

He saw a group of people coming over, and he finally made a sound with his mouth clinking.

"Master, come outside. It's looking for the young master."

As soon as the words fell, the door leaf behind him slammed again, and he pushed the courtyard door inward with all his strength.Standing in the crowd, Chen Yuan felt a chill in her heart. There must be an element of fear, and more of it was a coldness spreading in from the outside. She raised her head subconsciously, and Chen Yuan's face suddenly changed wildly.

At this moment, Yuanwai Liu walked to the front, took a breath and asked:
"Who is outside, why are you looking for my son?"

Behind the opposite courtyard door, a gloomy voice sounded.

"Open the door."

Mr. Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little panicked, but he had lived such an old age and hadn't experienced anything. After calming down, he gestured to the old servant beside him. The latter was also scared, but how could the master speak? He didn't listen, and walked into the eaves cautiously, lying behind the door and looking out through the gap.

In the eyes of everyone, the old servant froze, then trembled, turned around tremblingly, with cold sweat streaming down his face, he kept shaking his head towards Yuanwai Liu, but couldn't speak.

The voice sounded outside the door again.

".At the order of the City God, arrest Liu Boyuan from the Liu Manor!"

Hearing this, everyone around was startled, a coldness climbed over the old body over there, Yuanwai looked in the direction of the courtyard door tremblingly.

At the beginning, he thought it was fake, but the coldness made him tremble uncontrollably, and he still stammered in the end.

"Master Yincha...can you let my son go...he is cowardly, he has never killed a chicken, how could he commit crimes to the city god...the county venerable said it has nothing to do with my son..."

However, the sound outside was still gloomy.

"Open the door."

The old man was so frightened that he trembled and was supported by someone, and suddenly he broke away from the supporting hand, and he fell short and knelt down.

"I also beg the messenger to let my son go, the old man will take his life for the Li family!"

Tears flowed from the old man's cloudy eyes, his gray head kept knocking to the ground, and his words choked up.

Looking at this father who was begging for his son's life, Chen Yuan felt a little complicated.Suddenly thought of something, which made him frown.

"Open the door, I'll go with the messenger!" The old man suppressed his emotions, biting his cheeks and trying to calm himself down.

As soon as he walked down the steps, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't open—"

Everyone's nerves were tense, and they were taken aback immediately. They followed the voice nervously, and saw the young man in the troupe with a very bad face, staring at the gate of the courtyard.

Chen Yuan clenched her fists hard. He stared at the tall door without blinking, sweating all over his face. He said these words not only because of Liu Yuanwai's sake of his son.

He also thought of a possibility just now, whether this charm will attract all the people in the courtyard who see the evil.

Why can't the ghosts come in? Unless there is no decree of the city god, if you arrest the living soul privately, you will not see the light.

If a public device is used for private use, will anyone who sees it be silenced?
Chen Yuan didn't dare to gamble.

"... Open this door, you may be gone, and your son will not be saved. Those present may have been hooked away."

Following the words, Liu Yuanwai and the others looked back and saw that between the ridge of the protruding courtyard gate and the owl kiss, a huge gray and white long face was gloomy in the mist overlooking the people in the courtyard.

It turned out that when I was talking here, this terrifying face was watching from above.

Everyone under the eaves almost collapsed and sat on the ground.

at the same time.

Standing near the foggy Liu Mansion, there are altars placed in the streets and alleys, with Mimi chanting mantras. Li Yuanshan twisted two fingers, pinched out the formula, and stared at the black talisman paper intently.

For a moment, he vaguely heard footsteps, his pupils slightly moved away from the corners of his eyes, and in the corner of his vision, a stinky figure in a ragged robe walked by him, stood beside the altar with his hands behind his back, glanced at the table, and looked at Then he brushed his hair, and looked at the man who kept the formula still.

"Brother, what do you do? This old man is familiar, let me do it!"

"Don't come here!"

Li Yuanshan gestured frantically with his eyes, the crazy old man still squeezed towards him, as if hit by a speeding carriage, his whole body was pushed obliquely and flew out, hitting the wall heavily, and when he landed on the ground, "Wow" With a bang, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

　Brothers, if you think it looks good, please help to recommend it.

　　If you are capable, give me a reward, and let Chunfeng rush down the new book list, thank you.
