always a fairy

Chapter 41

There are many families in Yuhang County, and every family has a door number. Bai Yujing found this family surnamed Xing very conveniently.

White silk is hung outside the gate of the mansion, the mourning hall inside has not been removed, and the dead have not yet been buried.

Today, there are no mourners, only a mother and daughter in the family burning paper in front of the mourning hall.

The autumn wind was bleak, and even the sun was shining brightly, but it didn't wash away the chill.

When Bai Yujing came to the door, the housekeeper immediately greeted him. Looking at Bai Yujing's clothes, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he cupped his hands and asked, "Your Excellency?"

Bai Yujing said: "I'm here to find Shopkeeper Xing."

The owner of the house, surnamed Xing, was single famous. He opened a grocery store on Qiuye Street in Yuhang County, which was considered a family business, so he bought this house. His daughter, Xing Yue'efang, was 17 years old, with outstanding looks and extraordinary talent. She is a talented woman well-known in all towns and villages.

The butler should lead the way.

When Bai Yujing passed by the mourning hall, he saw a woman sobbing, and a little girl also wearing a filial robe, kneeling on the ground and throwing paper money into the brazier. She was not yet old enough to distinguish between life and death, so she just thought it was fun. With a smile, she said softly: "Sister, sister, mother said to give you more money."

Entering the main hall, entering the side room, and entering the study, Bai Yujing saw a person who was writing, and this person was the shopkeeper Xing.

After the tea was served, only Bai Yujing and shopkeeper Xing were left in the room.

Shopkeeper Xing estimated that he was about forty years old, with a shrewd and capable appearance, and his face was not depressed. He sat in front of Bai Yujing and said respectfully: "My lord, you are a guest of the county captain. You are here to ask Is it about the little girl?"

Bai Yujing nodded, "Not bad."

Xing Wang shook his head and said dejectedly: "After the county captain came that day, I said everything I could say, and I thought about it in the past few days, and there is nothing special."

Bai Yujing said: "I wonder if I can go to Miss Xing's room and take a look?"

Xing Wang said: "Of course, sir."

The lighting in this room is not very good. In the corner of the entire courtyard, the slanted sunlight shines in, reflecting the dust in the air, converging with an elegant fragrance, enveloping Bai Yujing who just entered the door.

Xing Wang stood at the door and said in a low voice: "My lord, please go ahead, I will wait for you outside, so I won't go in, so as not to look at things and think about others."

Bai Yujing didn't say much, and walked into the room.

A girl's boudoir is always mysterious, and Bai Yujing never thought that when he entered the boudoir for the first time, he was already separated from the girl. After some investigation, there were not many private things, and indeed there was nothing more to discover. , everything seems to be reasonable.

He closed his eyes, operated the Nine Obsidian Star Palace, turned the Xuanwu Second Acupoint to the first place to activate, and immediately his body seemed to be unable to move, but at this moment, he faintly felt a dark aura somewhere around him, this aura What came out was the black mist that had been eaten by the pig in his body before.

The moment his eyes turned to the head of the bed, the pig in his body also came to life, grunted a few times, stuck out his tongue and circled around his lips, it seemed to be hungry.

Bai Yujing walked to the head of the bed and lifted the bed, revealing a whole body of clothes underneath.

The black air emanates from here.

Bai Yujing picked up the clothes and asked, "Master Xing, is this your daughter's clothes?"

Xing Wang took a look and said: "Exactly, Mr. Yin Yang said that the clothes worn by the deceased will carry the deceased's wronged soul. In order to prevent her from leaving before the first seven days, the underwear should be placed on the bed. After the first seven days , into the earth with the coffin."

Bai Yujing nodded slowly, and he understood that what Shopkeeper Xing meant was that it was impossible for you to take this dress away.

He didn't intend to take it away either, but just fiddled with the clothes, and found that the black air was coming from the cuffs and chest, so he slashed the dagger lightly in his hand, and used extremely fast movements to remove the cloth strips on the cuffs. He took it off and put it in his pocket, then covered the quilt again, walked to the door calmly and said, "Master Xing, I've finished reading."

Xing Wang's face was full of disappointment, "It's a pity, the little girl left earlier. The county Wei Chu Lord said that this is the fate of the little girl, but... I have never believed that the little girl has been healthy since she was a child. Damn, how could it be so easy to leave? Maybe it's the plague, and there are quite a few girls who have left over the years."

Bai Yujing asked, "Walk a lot?"

Xing Wang said: "Yes, two people left this month, the daughter and a family in Dongcheng, the daughter of that family died on the way to get married, exactly the same as the daughter, except that she left half a month earlier than the daughter. "

Bai Yujing said: "Two?"

Xing Wang shook his head, and said in a low voice: "This is God's will. When the sky mark appears, it means that God has recruited people. Every month, he will accept a [-]-year-old girl, and they will all be married. From now on It started years ago, and now... hey, eleven of them have died."

Bai Yujing groaned, "Two people die every month, how could it be eleven?"

Xing Wang said: "My lord, don't you know? There was a girl who died, but when she was buried, she was found to be an empty coffin! I don't know where she went. Later, someone said that I saw her on the cliff mountain behind Yuhang County... ... Tsk tsk tsk, Xing is that the bones are still cold, and I miss my husband, so the soul has come out of the body with the body."

Bai Yujing asked, "Do you know which girl this is?"

Xing Wang said: "It's the daughter of the Shi family in the north of the city. Her father is in the fabric business, and he has dealt with me before, huh? No, you should be familiar with this Shi family girl."

Bai Yujing was puzzled and said, "How can I be familiar with it?"

Xing Wang took a deep breath, "I shouldn't remember wrongly, isn't the girl from the Shi family just going to marry the county captain?"

Bai Yujing was startled for a moment.

At this moment, the butler ran over and shouted: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, it's not good, Mr. Chen is here again."

Bai Yujing asked, "Mr. Chen?"

Xing Wang explained: "My lord, this Mr. Chen was originally my aunt, but now... hey, he and the little girl agree in love, and they have been in love for a long time, so they made a marriage contract. Mr. Chen's family is a scholarly family, because Mr. Chen doesn't care about the family differences, so I'm so proud of him, I thought I could be among the upper class in Yuhang County, but who knows... hey."

Xing Wang stretched out his hand and asked: "I have to go and see Mr. Chen. I heard that he has not thought about food and drink these days. He wants to see my little girl and ask for a ghost marriage at home. He is really an infatuated person. It is not good if something happens. gone."

Bai Yujing said: "I'll go with you to have a look."

When he arrived at the front door, he saw a bookish young man lying on the coffin in the mourning hall, weeping bitterly. Seeing this situation, Xing Wang couldn't help but burst into tears, as if his mood just calmed down was hooked again. Get up, step forward to dissuade.

Bai Yujing didn't know what to do, thinking that there was nothing to do here, so she planned to leave, but just turned her head, and saw the little girl in a filial robe squatting on the ground, holding her chin with her hands and looking at everything in front of her, with the expression in her eyes It seems very puzzled.

Bai Yujing walked over and squatted down, "What's your name?"

The little girl tilted her head and said, "My name is Meier Xing."

Bai Yujing patted the little girl's head, "What are you looking at?"

Xing Meier pointed to the young man lying on the coffin and said, "I'm looking at him, I'm looking at his fake mercy! I'm looking at him as an annoying person!"

Seeing Meier Xing's face becoming angry, Bai Yujing felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Why is he pretending to be merciful, and why is he so annoying?"

Meier Xing said: "Hmph! If he hadn't sneaked into my house the night before and took my sister out, my sister wouldn't have died the next day!"

Bai Yujing immediately asked: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Meier Xing pointed to the fan on Mr. Chen's waist and said, "His fan is a Fengyuyao heart fan made for him by my sister. It is the only one in the world. I saw that fan with my own eyes that night."

She raised her head and said, "Aniang said that I should not always sleep with my sister when I grow up, but I still miss her, so that night I sneaked into my sister's room and hid under the bed while Aniang was asleep. I saw him sending my sister back, and after he left, no matter what I called, my sister ignored me..."
