Copper Coins Chapter 51: Chengqi Bureau (2)

Jiang Shijing suddenly lost her voice.

She grabbed Xingzi's fingers and trembled, just hearing the word "sister", her eyes were red, and a thick layer of water mist enveloped her eyes, and her vision instantly blurred. Her mind was at a loss, and she didn't even realize why her eyes were so blurred for a while. She only tried her best to open her eyes wide and searched the surroundings at random.

"A Ning? Is that you An Ning?" Jiang Shijing rolled her eyes, and two huge tears fell from her eyes, "You, don't hide, my sister can't see you..."

However, before the line of sight was clear, a new mist of water came up.

"I'm afraid that standing directly in front of you will startle you." Jiang Shining quietly followed behind the crowd into the room, then stood in an inconspicuous corner, hiding behind the bedpost.

"How could..." Jiang Shijing burst into tears, choked heavily after saying a few words, "How can you startle me, no matter what you look like, you won't startle me, sister Don't be afraid, come out quickly, don't hide..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the water mist in her eyes didn't blink, and she felt that she was being hugged into her arms.

The person who hugged her was thin and thin, and the embrace was not so generous and firm, but she was familiar with it since she was a child. She has suffered grievances and hardships since she was a child, and this brother, who is three years younger than her, will come to accompany her, tell some anecdotes from the books, and talk about the embarrassing things she has done, all the time she can't help laughing. From a young age, he could only wrap his arms around her, until he was a head taller than her, enough to hold her whole in his arms.

It's just that Jiang Shining's embrace was warm in the past, but at this time there was not even a trace of heat, and it was shockingly cold.

Jiang Shining subconsciously hugged for a while, and felt her sister's body tremble, and then she suddenly realized that she had long lost the body temperature of a living person. So he let go again embarrassingly, and took a step back, lest the cold air freeze his sister.

"Why are you so cold?" Jiang Shijing whimpered, grabbing his hand to keep him away. She rubbed Jiang Shining's ten fingers with both hands, sighed again, and covered it for a long time, but found that she couldn't cover it at all, and her tears suddenly fell even more fiercely.

Jiang Shining raised his head and blinked his eyes, after a while, he lowered his eyes to look at her again: "Sister, don't cover it, I'm not cold."

Jiang Shijing's tears seemed to be endless, and big drops fell on Jiang Shining's hands. She covered him while shaking her fingers to wipe, but found that she hadn't wiped it yet, and the water was already there. It penetrated into Jiang Shining's skin.

When emotions are difficult to control, the strength of the hand is often insignificant.

Jiang Shining's hand was wet with her sister's tears, and it was already a little fragile, but after being rubbed so hard, the base of the finger was obviously torn. But he didn't want to pull his hand back so quickly, and wanted his sister to cry out the suffocating emotions she had been holding all these years, even if she ripped off some fingers, it didn't matter.

But it really fell and he was afraid of scaring Jiang Shijing, so he glanced at his sister rather reluctantly, blinked the fog in his eyes, raised his eyes and said to Fang Cheng: "Brother-in-law, my sister is crying enough to wash my robes for me. Now, stop her for a while."

Fang Cheng was really taken aback when he saw Jiang Shining, and then he was filled with emotion. Although he didn't watch Jiang Shining grow up like his wife, he also took care of this younger brother for a few days when he was a child. When he was young, he and Jiang Shining went to the mountains to collect medicinal materials. When they got married, Jiang Shining was still carrying his A Ying on his back... …

I never thought that when we met again, it was already yin and yang.

He understands his wife's mood too well, so he has been watching silently by the side, without stepping up to disturb him. It wasn't until Jiang Shining opened his mouth to him that he nodded at Jiang Shining with red eyes, hugged Jiang Shijing and comforted him: "You always drag him to cry like this, and he can't say anything."

"Yes, sister, I was able to come here to see you this time, thanks to the help of the nobles." Jiang Shining was afraid that his sister's eyes would be broken if she continued to cry like this, so she hurriedly winked at Fang Cheng. topic opened.

The same way he and Fang Chengyi sang and made Jiang Shijing happy when they were young.

"Your Excellency?" Fang Cheng hugged his wife and shook it gently from side to side. "Where is the noble person you said, Aning? Your sister and I have to thank them."

Xue Xian, who was listening to the whole crying scene in the corner, laughed dryly, and said without moving: "Thank you, I don't need to, please help me take off this piece of paper."

Jiang Shining: "..." I almost forgot, a certain noble is being punished to face the wall.

Fang Cheng and Jiang Shijing looked blankly in Xue Xian's direction, and then looked at Jiang Shining, confused and completely confused about what was going on.

"Why did you provoke the master..." Jiang Shining walked towards him helplessly, "If I take off this paper talisman, will I be convicted?"

Xue Xian sneered at the wall, "I don't know how that bald donkey treats you after you picked it, but if you just watch the fun and don't do anything, I promise you will regret holding my leg for eight lifetimes."

Jiang Shijing and Fang Cheng: "..."

This is the first time I've seen a gentleman with this style...

Jiang Shining gave an expressionless "oh" and said, "If you say that, then I won't even dare to reach out and pick it up. After all, you can move it as soon as you pick it up."

Xue Xian: "... nerd, are you going to rebel?"

But let's talk, let's talk. After all, Jiang Shining has a soft temper, and he will not really watch the fun without saving his life. He admired the honest appearance of this ancestor in all aspects, and finally reached out and squeezed the paper talisman on Xue Xian's forehead.

But he was careless for a while and used the hand that was soaked by Jiang Shijing's tears. And Xuan Min's paper talisman was unusual and not so easy to pick.

So, I saw Jiang Shining holding the paper talisman and pulling it down——

His mostly wet hand...broken.

Xue Xian: "..."

Jiang Shining: "..."

"A Ning, why are you standing still?" asked Jiang Shijing from behind.

Jiang Shining immediately shuddered, holding back the toothache expression on his face, turning around and turning his severed hand behind him, smiling at Jiang Shijing with a green face: "It's okay, I'm just—"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the East Room was pushed open with a "bang", which was not polite at all.

The conversation in the room was interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed. Except for Xue Xian, who was facing the wall, everyone raised their heads and stared blankly at the crowd of people pouring in from the door. The one in the lead had three long scars on his face. He was tall and strong, and looked more like bandits than the beggars in the circle on the ground.

They are none other than the troupe.

The last person to enter the door was Xuan Min, who had gone out earlier. After he entered the room, he closed the door behind his back and blocked Xu Dashan and the guests from the room.

The greetings and laughter in the hall are vaguely spread into the house, inexplicably seeming a little distant, as if covered in many layers of fog, and separated by several streets, it is extraordinarily unreal, and inexplicably makes people feel cold on the neck of.

Obviously, Xuan Min led their group into this room because he had something to ask. However, before Xuan Min could speak, the scarred-faced man opened his mouth like a cannonball: "Do you guys know what this place is? How can you stay here without knowing what to do?"

His eyes fell on the casserole surrounded by the beggars, frowning and said: "There are many places to shelter from the wind and rain, there are so many abandoned temples these days, just find one, you have to choose one in Here, I don't know whether to live or die!"

"Hey... There are old and young, and they are all seriously ill. They really can't walk, let alone go up the mountain." One of the beggars said helplessly.

"Aren't you locals? Haven't heard of Wencun?" Scarface returned to his anger, but knew to keep his voice low when he spoke, "I don't know that this place has been deserted for many years? There is not even a living person. Where do you have the guts to rest here? Besides, if you don't come early or late, you come at this time! Do you know? There's no one in the room outside!"

Jiang Shining and Lu Twenqi's faces became a little complicated in an instant. After all, this scene is like a ghost telling you to be careful of another ghost, which is really strange.

However, they were the only ones in the house who knew about it.

"I know, not only do I know, but I've also heard a lot of rumors. Every year at the end of the winter months, there will be voices here, talking, coughing, and singing—" The beggar said halfway through, and suddenly saw the scar A man behind the face man was holding several costumes and a long beard in his hands.

"What about the play..." After the beggar finished the second half of the sentence without hesitation, his face turned green.

Seeing everyone's faces, the scarred-faced man shook his head helplessly and said, "We did sing the play, but it's different..."

He glanced at the wooden door, as if looking at the people outside through the wooden door, sighed, and said, "We are people in this village, we grew up eating the rice here and drinking the water here. , Xu Dashan is kind to us, if it weren't for him, all the young and old in our troupe would have had a round."

"We always want to repay something every day, but he doesn't lack anything. He likes to listen to operas. Our opera troupe usually travels all over the world and makes our home in the world, but every winter moon, we will rush here. , sing a song for Xu Dashan on his birthday, and make him smile, which is a little bit of insignificant thought, it's been ten years since I sang it like this..."

"Ten years?" An elderly beggar said, "You can sing while this great man is alive, why are you still singing when everyone is dead?"

"Yes." An old lady in the troupe smiled mildly, "I promised back then. As long as he comes to listen, we will sing. He is here every year, why can't we come?"

"We're used to it, and we're all willing. But you're different. People here don't recognize you, and don't know if you'll collide. No matter what, there's a difference between yin and yang. In case of a collision, maybe It’s not guaranteed that people will be killed.” The scarred-faced man frowned and looked at the crowd, saying, “I’ll find a way to talk to Xu Dashan later, so that they will believe that you have entered by mistake, and there are other incidents. It's hard to stay here, let them be willing to let you go."

When he said this, Xuan Min had been standing by the window, looking out through the torn window paper, and when the scar-faced man's voice fell behind, he frowned and said, "This Wen Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with one side on one side. Gathering the wind, the bright hall welcomes the sun, this is originally a qi game, how can there be an earth-bound spirit..."

Also a village earthbound spirit. Even if the people in this village have become earthbound spirits, with the conditions of this village, they can support them for three or two years at most. But right now, neither Xu Dashan nor his neighbors seem to be about to dissipate. Instead, they are alive as if they had just been "extended". There is only one possibility... Is there something hidden? Something in the dark changed the game.

Xuanmin glanced at the back of Xue Xian's head, turned around and said to the scarred-faced man, "Since you were born here, have you ever seen anything weird in this village?"

He thought for a while, and felt that Xue Xian had to tell what kind of weirdness it was, so he walked to the corner of the wall and planned to take off the paper talisman in front of Xue Xian's forehead for a while.

Who knows, just as he lowered his eyes, he met Xue Xian's expressionless and indifferent face——

There is not only a paper talisman attached to the forehead, but also an extra hand.

Xuan Min: "..." The person who faced the wall with such an effect, has never seen the second one in his life.
