The candlelight flickered, reflecting two figures sitting next to each other.
Burn the charcoal until red, pour the boiling water into the teapot, and the fine tea will float. The skilled tea art is a feast for the eyes.
The people are beautiful and the tea smells good.
"Thirteenth Niang came just in time. This is your favorite tea. I just asked someone to bring it back from the south of the Yangtze River. Try it quickly." Wan Xin picked up the teapot and put it in front of Thirteenth Niang with her green and green fingers.
Thirteenth Niang smiled at the corner of her mouth, took a sip, closed her eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking about it. After a while, she praised: "Ah Cha's craftsmanship is good, and the water for making tea is even rarer. If I guessed correctly, it should be from Yuquan Mountain. spring."
"The Thirteenth Mother is still awesome!"
Wanxin said with a smile.
No idea.
Thirteenth Niang immediately straightened her face, patted Wan Xin's forehead with the embroidered fan in her hand, and said angrily: "Yuquan is the spring water used by the palace, and the tea is brought from the south of the Yangtze River. You are sick, and you still go out and run around."
She knows how to win hearts very well, and neither of these two things requires a trip out.
"Ouch."
Wan Xin let out a sweet cry and said aggrievedly: "It's been a long time since Thirteenth Mother drank this tea. Recently, there have been a lot of foreign envoys coming, and the transaction of Yuquan water is much more relaxed than before. I want to buy some tea specially for you to drink." "
She was really feeling aggrieved. After getting the medicinal materials yesterday, she wanted to ask someone to buy a jar of Yuquan water. How could she expect that when she came back, she met a strong man plotting evil and almost lost her innocence!
On the other hand, as the saying goes, cats have cat lanes and rats have rat lanes.
Although the Yuquan water is reserved for the royal palace, as long as you have money and need, it is not difficult to get even the most difficult things.
The aggrieved expression and demeanor immediately made Thirteenth Mother feel distressed. She held the hand holding her heart and warned: "Don't do this again next time. Are you feeling better now?"
"It's an old problem, and it's almost gone."
He calmed down his thoughts, grinned, and asked curiously, "Why is Thirteenth Mother free to come here today?"
"What do you think?"
Thirteenth Niang rolled her eyes at her and shook her embroidered fan, "Oiran of Chunyue Tower, Money Tree is at home sick. How could I not come and take a look."
"Hehe, Thirteenth Mother is the best."
She hugged Thirteen Niang's arms, looking playful and cute. "I can return to Chunyue Tower tomorrow."
"I was almost kidnapped by you little girl."
Thirteenth Niang said worriedly: "Did a fierce Deputy Qianhu of the Jin Yiwei come to see you last night?"
The fierce Jin Yiwei...
Wan Xin was slightly stunned, and there seemed to be a straight and healthy figure floating in the bottom of his eyes.
"Yes, yes."
"They said Qu Bu was dead and asked about your whereabouts, but I was shocked. That was Jin Yiwei!"
Thirteenth Niang frowned.
"Maybe it's because of Qu Bu's special status."
She smiled heart-warmingly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Thirteenth Mother. Last night was just an ordinary question and it has nothing to do with us."
"Hey, I didn't expect that from Beijing south to Peiping, there is still no peace in these years."
Thirteenth Niang seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly sighed: "I can't trust any Buddha or immortal. In a real crisis, the only one I can trust is myself."
"Okay, Thirteenth Mother, don't think too much."
A heart-warming smile.
"It's time for me to leave. It's New Year's Day soon. The building will be renovated in the next two days. I'll go back and take a look first." Thirteenth Niang said.
"good!"
"I'll see you off," she said, "Thirteenth Mother, please pay attention to safety when you go back."
Immediately afterwards.
"Let's go back."
Thirteenth Niang waved her hand, and her figure disappeared into the darkness.
Snapped.
The door is closed.
After returning to the house, he put away the tea sets again. Suddenly he noticed an embroidered fan left on the chair. He reached out to pick it up and said helplessly: "The Thirteenth Mother always leaves things behind."
at this time.
Knock knock knock…
There was a knock on the door.
"Thirteenth Mother?"
Wan Xin looked over after hearing the sound, and immediately walked towards the door with the embroidered fan in hand.
But when she opened the door, the dark alley was empty. She looked around to the left and right. The dark alley looked like the mouth of an abyss, which made Wan Xin feel a little scared.
no one?
Who knocked on the door just now? Could it be that a child was playing a prank on purpose?
Wan Xin quickly closed the door and almost trotted back to the main room. The warm candlelight dispelled the lingering fear in her heart, and she couldn't help exhaling the turbid air in her chest.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Wan Xin glanced at the embroidered fan in her hand, pursed her lips, and planned to put it back on the table. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something from the corner of her eye. She didn't notice it at first, but in a flash, her pupils widened unconsciously, and she felt a
The biting coldness made the hairs stand on end all over my body.
Turn your eyes slightly and look at the wall.
The candlelight reflected her shadow.
However, beside the shadow, there was another shadow close behind him.
In that moment, my heart felt like falling into an ice cellar.
My heart was pounding, and time seemed to extend infinitely at this moment.
At a loss of consciousness, the hot kettle came into view. As if grabbing a life-saving straw, he stretched out his hand to grab the handle and threw it violently backward. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he immediately ducked under the table and rushed in with his hands and feet.
The house inside.
Snap...
The wooden table fell apart and the tea set fell to the floor.
Wan Xin only felt a pair of cold hands on her shoulders, and she screamed in horror. They struggled to pull each other, their clothes were torn, and a large area of snow-white skin was exposed to the candlelight.
The next second, huge force struck.
His body suddenly flew into the air and hit the wall hard.
"ah!"
The cry of pain suddenly started.
All the internal organs seemed to be groaning in pain.
Suddenly, a tall figure enveloped her.
He held his hand on the ground and struggled to stand up. When he looked up, a face covered in dirt came into his eyes. His gray and muddy pupils were filled with deathly silence. His horror became stronger and he said in disbelief: "Qu Bu!!!"
Qubu, who had been dead for a long time, was standing in front of her alive.
"Heart-saving."
An extremely hoarse voice came from Qubu's throat, and dark purple veins undulated under the skin of his neck and shoulders that had been burned by boiling water, making people shudder.
"Heart-saving."
He replied.
As soon as he saw Wan Xin, Qu Bu started to chant her name continuously, his voice was dull.
But no one noticed that a paper figure with talismans suddenly stood up on the broken table and chair, rising in the wind, holding a paper knife and slashing at Qubu.
The paper knife penetrated the flesh and easily opened the long and narrow wounds.
However!
Qubu turned his head expressionlessly, and a large number of black threads burst out of his body and rushed towards the paper man crazily.
Although the paper man is agile and has a sharp blade, the terrain is narrow and the black thread seems endless. After a while, the paper man is like being tied up by a black python, tightly tightened and losing his spirituality.
the other side.
Wan Xin took this opportunity, crawled into the boudoir, closed the door, panted heavily, looked left and right, and was about to escape through the broken window!
What a surprise.
As soon as she walked over, a blurry figure hanging upside down was suddenly reflected in the window.
Immediately, the face was pressed against the window paper, the wooden block was folded horizontally, and with the sound of breaking, the lifeless face appeared in the eyes of Huan Xin in a very horrifying way.
