Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth stick out tongue
With a bit of vigilance, Li Xiuyuan came to the private room on the second floor.
There was no one else in the private room, only a delicate and beautiful woman was boiling water, making tea, and welcoming the incoming guests.
"Shi Niang?" Li Xiuyuan said, looked around and walked over.
When Shiniang saw Li Xiuyuan's arrival, she couldn't help but smile and saluted him.
"I don't seem to know Shiniang. Why did Shiniang invite me alone? It should be noted that the scholars downstairs are eagerly looking forward to getting Shiniang's favor, and today is just the first time that Shiniang and I have met.
See you." Li Xiuyuan did not sit down, but said straight to the point.
Shiniang had a somewhat apologetic look on her face and shook her head slightly, but did not speak.
Li Xiuyuan noticed this: "Could it be that...you are a mute woman?"
Shi Niang turned around and said, "Slave, I'm not a mute girl. She's just ill and can't speak."
Her voice was not crisp, but rather vague, and her voice did not match her appearance.
"I wonder if Shiniang and I have known each other before? It seems like Shiniang, you are no stranger to me." Li Xiuyuan said, he had been paying attention to this detail.
"The slave family does know Mr. Li. It is natural for Mr. Li to have doubts." Shiniang said, "I am taking the liberty of inviting you this time. Please don't take it personally, Mr. Li."
Li Xiuyuan secretly thought, as expected.
From the very beginning, Shi Niang noticed that something was wrong with her eyes. She was hiding among the crowd and kept herself invisible. It was obviously unreasonable for such a beauty to pay so much attention to her.
"Shi Niang is an artist here. She has never been out of the Qinhuai River. I wonder when she met me?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Did Young Master Li really forget about a woman named Shiniang?" Shiniang said in a faint tone, which seemed a bit sad.
Li Xiuyuan recalled it carefully.
He thinks he has a pretty good memory. Although he will forget the trivial things that happened in the past, he will definitely not forget the people he meets.
After some reminiscing.
Suddenly, there was indeed a woman named Shiniang in Li Xiuyuan's mind.
His expression changed slightly and he said, "I do remember a person called "Things", maybe it's just that the name is too heavy, you can't be her."
"Why did Mr. Li make such an assertion?" Shiniang's tone became a little joyful again.
"She is not a human being, she is a female ghost in the painting, named Shiniang. I met her in Hua County. She helped me, but then she disappeared. I don't know whether she was reincarnated or went to another place.
"Li Xiuyuan said.
Shi Niang said happily, "Mr. Li, this is the ghost girl Shi Niang. Mr. Li, you really remember my family. I'm really happy in my heart." She wanted to turn around, but she hesitated and still didn't turn around.
Li Xiuyuan said in surprise: "It's impossible, you are a ghost, and you are a human now. How can you be the same person?"
"On that day, Mr. Li and Aunt Hua were fighting in Huaxian County. The Nu family and a group of sisters were watching from the temple. Later, because they were afraid of the majesty of Thunder God in the sky, they hid in the painting and tried to hide themselves from Thunder God's detection, but in the end they were discovered by Thunder God.
, a series of divine thunder split open the roof and fell from the sky, killing many of the sisters in the painting. The slave family was trembling with fear, thinking that they would be killed by the thunder god in the sky, but after the thunder god stopped, the slave family discovered that most of the sisters in the house were
All the sisters' paintings were burned, and only the slave family and a few sisters were safe."
"I think the slave family and other sisters are here. This is probably because we are kind-hearted and have not committed too many crimes. Let the thunder in the sky open its net."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Thunder Lord will indeed not kill good people, even ghosts, but why did you become an artist in this Qin Pavilion afterwards?"
Shiniang said; "The Nu family didn't know. They only knew that the Nu family hid in the painting to rest after dawn. When they woke up, they found that they had become an artist in the Qin Pavilion by the Qinhuai River. The artist had already hanged herself.
The body was already cold, but it suddenly came back to life because of the possession of the slave family. It frightened many people at the time, but it was just that the shopkeeper of Qin Ge knew about this well and did not publicize it more."
"Someone must have cast a spell on your behalf to bring back the soul."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, thinking of the midwife who delivered the children of the Zhang family.
That was not a midwife, but a heavenly Bodhisattva.
In other words, the appearance of Shi Niang here is the arrangement of the Bodhisattva in heaven?
But what is the purpose of this arrangement?
Li Xiuyuan didn't know, and he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he was slightly relieved and said, "Since it's Shi Niang, I'm relieved. I thought it was some kind of monster that turned into a human to harm me. Recently, in Jinling City
It’s not peaceful, there are many monsters who want to kill me, so I have to be vigilant at all times.”
"This slave understands." Shiniang said.
"I would like to ask, Shi Niang, why are you talking behind my back? Is there any inconvenience?" Li Xiuyuan asked doubtfully.
Shi Niang hesitated and said: "I'm afraid that the slave family will scare the young master like this."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Shi Niang, your beauty makes the scholars below salivate. I have seen it before. It is indeed a rare beauty. It seems that God has favored you and given you a good identity to start a new life."
Life."
After hearing this, Shi Niang turned around with a shy expression and her beautiful eyes flashing.
Her beauty did not change in any way, but in that small mouth, a long tongue spit out, hanging down to her chin. The saliva dripped from time to time, completely destroying this fragile beauty in an instant.
It's even a little scary. No wonder he was slurred when he spoke before. It turned out to be this reason.
"Why is this happening?" Li Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, but did not feel scared.
He had never seen any ferocious-looking ghosts, so how could he be afraid of a beautiful woman sticking out her long tongue?
"It's because the possessed girl hanged herself. After the girl died, her tongue came out. The servant used her body to come back to life, but the tongue could never be taken back. Every time she spoke, it would come out of her mouth.
Fallen, so the slave family can only keep silent." Shiniang said vaguely, her eyes a little evasive, fearing that Li Xiuyuan would dislike her.
However, she did not see a look of disgust in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I see, this is a disease caused by the resurrection of a dead body. Mortal doctors cannot cure it. Only ghosts and gods can cure this symptom for you. By the way, I recently met a ghost king named Chang Tongue. He is
The hanged man has his tongue sticking out so long that it reaches his waist, but he can retract his tongue. I will go back and ask him for you if there is any way to cure your disease."
"In this case, I will thank Mr. Li first." Shiniang said gratefully.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "This is a small matter. You have helped me. If I can help you in any way, I will not be stingy."
The two of them had some superficial friendship.
Now that we met here, we became familiar with each other after talking a few words.
After chatting for a while, Li Xiuyuan said: "It's already late now, and I should go back. Shi Niang, you should go to bed early. Now that you are a human being, not a ghost, I can't stay with you for a long time. We just started
The group of scholars downstairs haven't left yet, and they keep making noises. I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, the group of scholars may rush up to save the beauty."
Shi Niang said with a smile: "Those scholars are just coveting the beauty of the slave family, and who of them really likes the slave family? When the slave family was playing the piano, Mr. Li was the only one who drank tea out of boredom and drank three cups in a row. He was obviously interested in the slave family's piano.
I’m not interested in technology.”
"I'm not an elegant person. I can't appreciate these elegant things and make Shi Niang laugh."
Shi Niang shook her head and said: "This is the frankness of the young master. He will not flatter me just because of the slave's beauty, pretending to be intoxicated and appreciative."
"It seems that Shi Niang also knows that those scholars are pretending to be intoxicated." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile. It seems that Shi Niang is also a smart woman and has not been deceived by those scholars. She thinks that they are her close friends.
Those scholars didn't know that their hard-working flattery and intoxicating performance had long been seen through by Shi Niang.
Shiniang's face was also slightly red, and she laughed a little embarrassedly.
"Young Master is going back. I haven't had time to play a song for you, so I'll give you a ride."
"Shi Niang, when you come out of the palace to see me off, you want me to be hostile to those scholars." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, since Shi Niang doesn't want to be entangled by those scholars, I will do this favor for Shiniang."
"Young Master is indeed a saint in the world. These little thoughts of the slave family cannot be hidden from Young Master." Shiniang said.
The two of them went downstairs one after another.
"Come down, come down, then Li Xiuyuan is down."
"Damn it, is this guy finally willing to come down? I didn't hear Shiniang's piano playing just now. I thought this guy was doing something dirty, so I almost couldn't help but rush to rescue Shiniang.
"
"Shi Niang really chose the wrong person. I don't know what's so good about Li Xiuyuan, but she invited him into the private room to listen to music."
The scholars downstairs had not yet left. When they saw Li Xiuyuan coming down, they all gathered around him, gnashing their teeth or staring at him with great hatred.
He really looked murderous and his eyes were like daggers.
But before they could kill Li Xiuyuan with their eyes, they suddenly saw Shiniang behind Li Xiuyuan.
Since she is sending this guy off in person?
Damn it, has Shiniang’s heart been stolen by this guy?
"Shi Niang, please stay. There is no need to send you out. It's enough to get here." Li Xiuyuan said.
He glanced around and found that Ning Caichen, Zhu Yu, and Wang Ping had already left. They probably couldn't bear the blow and left without saying goodbye.
Shiniang nodded, gave a salute, and watched Li Xiuyuan go out.
But immediately, Shiniang suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Master Li, if you are free, you often come here to sit and entertain Mr. Li."
But when she opened her mouth and spat out the long words, the nearby scholar was so frightened that she immediately screamed.
"Ah, ghost."
A timid scholar turned pale with fright and fell back.
