Chapter Eighty-Five: The New Town
Four days after setting off from P City, Lin Jingjing and his party finally came to Xincheng, whether it was Jian Zhanmo or Xuanhe, they were both richer men than a man, so it was not surprising that they still lived in the most luxurious hotel in Xincheng.
Maybe it's the reason why I've been staying in a hotel recently, although this hotel is also very magnificent, but Lin Jingjing doesn't feel anything anymore, although the decorations of these hotels are not the same, but they all seem to be a little shorter, and Lin Jingjing doesn't feel new when he lives.
But what made Lin Jingjing happy was that this time, at her strong request, she finally had her own room.
Just after cleaning up, Lin Jingjing and the others had lunch and decided to go out to inquire about the news and see if there were any more clues about the luminous stone.
Because Jian Zhanmo had not fully recovered, only Lin Jingjing, Xuanhe and Yurong were divided into two teams and went out.
After going out, Lin Jingjing chose to go to the right, Xuanhe took Yurong to the left, and everyone agreed that no matter whether there was a result or not, Shen Shi would return to the hotel to gather.
If you look down from the sky, the whole new city is rectangular, and the hotel is just below the central axis of the new city, near the city gate.
There is a market in the east and west of the city, and Lin Jingjing and the others decided to go to the market tomorrow morning to have a look, and today they will just have some news in the hall in the nearby alley.
Lin Jingjing walked more than 200 meters and saw several middle-aged women sitting on the side of the road chatting, one of whom was still holding a baby who was a few months old.
Lin Jingjing stepped forward and said to the middle-aged woman with the child, "Sister, this child is so cute, how many months has it been?" ”
The woman looked up and saw that Lin Jingjing was dressed cleanly, and the smile on her face was really long, and she relaxed her vigilance, "It's been eight months." ”
Summoning all the memories, it seems that the neighbor's little boy will leave in a month, "Eight months, then it will be gone soon." ”
The woman nodded, "I always want to stand up and take two steps now, but he's too young to stand still." Miss, I don't think you're from here. ”
"Oh, sister, hello eyes, I'm from P City."
Although it is also a city, P City is much bigger and more lively than New Town, especially many things that cannot be bought with money. "It turns out that the girl is from P City, no wonder I haven't seen you in such clothes."
Lin Jingjing looked down at the patterns on her clothes, she didn't know much about this kind of thing, she would wear whatever Jian Zhanmo prepared for her, but listening to their meanings, it seemed that Jian Zhanmo's vision was very good.
Women's friendship often starts with clothes and jewelry, and after talking about a pillar of incense, Lin Jingjing already knows their names.
The sister-in-law holding the child is surnamed Sun, and Lin Jingjing calls her Sister Sun. Another sturdy woman was a widow from this village, whose maiden name was Cui, and Lin Jingjing called her the sister of the Cui family.
"Sister Sun, I heard that you have strange things here at night?"
As soon as they said something strange, their faces changed, "How do you know?" ”
Lin Jingjing's face pretended to be calm, "Such a strange thing has been spread all over the streets and alleys of P City, and we are also curious." ”
Sister Sun immediately waved her hand, "Sister."
Son, don't talk nonsense, this thing is very evil, and it is very likely that it will come to you at night. ”
Lin Jingjing was taken aback, "Didn't you say she was just wandering the road at night?" How can you still find someone? ”
"Hey, not only to find someone, but also to enter someone's house, the day before yesterday, Old Man Song woke up in the middle of the night and saw her standing at the head of the bed, and she fainted directly, if it weren't for Old Man Song who has been in good health, I'm afraid she would have to return to the West."
This time, Lin Jingjing was even more interested, this female ghost could still enter the room.
"It can't be a thief dressed up to steal, right?"
The Cui family's sister waved her hand, "No, no, she has appeared in the room more than once, but they haven't lost anything in the house, and according to the people they saw, that woman still has jewelry on her." ”
Hearing the jewelry, Lin Jingjing's eyes lit up slightly and asked, "Jewelry?" What jewelry? ”
"I heard that she had a stone on her forehead, a bracelet on her arm, and various rings on her fingers, and if she hadn't been there only at night, I am afraid that even a female ghost would have dared to steal her jewelry."
Lin Jingjing didn't expect that she had so many jewels on her, it seems that whether she is a human or a ghost, she is a rich person.
"I heard her forehead still glows?"
Sister Sun patted her thigh, "But it's not, in the middle of the night, there is a green light on her body, and she is scared to death from a distance, the green light reflects her miserable white eyes, and there is no flesh on her face, oops, I feel terrible when I think about it now." ”
Lin Jingjing listened to her description strangely, "Sister, have you seen her too?" ”
They nodded, "Yes, many people in our city have seen her, to be honest, I really haven't seen such a female ghost, and she doesn't hurt anyone, I sometimes think she was a fighter in her last life." ”
They laughed themselves, as if they thought their analogy was appropriate.
Lin Jingjing's face was full of suspicion this time, "Everyone of you has seen her, no one knows her?" ”
"No, and then we didn't hurt to see her, and we also quietly looked at her at night, who knows, on that day, all of us were unconscious on the street, and the sun rose the next day before we woke up, and since then, we have never dared to go to the onlookers."
A female ghost who doesn't kill people or harms anyone, but just goes out for a walk every night, Lin Jingjing was also filled with curiosity by her.
Everyone returned to the hotel in the evening, and Lin Jingjing told the news he heard today, but no one showed a shocked expression on their faces, it seems that what they said is right, this female ghost opportunity has been seen by everyone.
"Mr. Jane, what do you think?"
Jian Zhanmo shook his head with a heavy face, "This matter is full of weirdness, I think we should stay here for a few more days and find out." ”
Xuanhe and them also had this idea, "In that case, let's rest today, and if we have the opportunity tomorrow night, we will go and investigate it ourselves." ”
Back in the guest room, Yurong glanced at Xuanhe, and Xuanhe obediently followed her away.
"You can see that their relationship seems to be developing very quickly, and now they can make eye contact."
Jianzhan gave her a blank look, "They're from."
Childhood sweethearts who grow up from small to big, this level of tacit understanding is just ordinary. ”
Lin Jingjing tilted his head and thought for a while, "By the way, speaking of childhood sweethearts, does that Chen Ajiao and you also have this tacit understanding?" ”
"Ahem, my wound still hurts a little, you can help me up." As he spoke, his whole body leaned towards her.
Lin Jingjing despised Jian Zhanmo's lame ability to change the topic, but he was worried about his body, so he could only take out a small notebook in his heart and write it down, ready to reason with him in the future.
Xuanhe closed the door, "What's the matter with calling me?" Although the two people are happy with each other, Xuanhe still sticks to the boundaries, and always feels that it is not good for lonely men and widows to be in the same room.
"What do you do after finding this luminous stone?"
"What should I do?" Xuanhe raised his head and looked at Yurong suspiciously, "It's only the first day we have arrived in the new city, and there are no clues, so it's a bit early to talk about this." ”
Yurong sighed, "But we always have to take precautions, if we really get the luminous stone one day, do you think the ancestor will not know?" At that point, we didn't have a suitable excuse to go back. ”
In fact, Xuanhe didn't know what to do, the life of leaving the ancestors was actually comfortable, and they spent more time together, but what his father said to him was still echoing in his ears, if the ancestors left at the time he left, the position of the head of the family could be inherited logically.
Yurong saw that he fell silent, and after a little thought, she guessed his thoughts, "You are worried about the body of the old ancestor." ”
Xuanhe raised his head suddenly, but he didn't expect Yurong to even guess this, "I know this idea is not good, but..."
Yurong didn't blame him, just nodded, "I understand." Then let's talk about the female ghost in Xincheng, what do you think after listening to today's events? ”
Speaking of this, Xuanhe suddenly had something to say, "Listening to the locals, if this thing is a ghost, it is too kind, but if it is not a ghost, how can it come and go freely in the crowd." And why did she wear a glow-in-the-dark stone on her forehead, which looked like it was deliberately displayed. It's even like it's a deliberate attempt to draw us in. ”
What Xuanhe said was also Yurong's idea, how could there be such a coincidence, it just so happened that they met Lin Jingjing and them, and a strange female ghost appeared in the new city.
"Do you think it's Jian Zhan's plan?"
Xuanhe is the person who has experienced the first meeting with Jian Zhanmo, but he has a different opinion, "I asked the shopkeeper about the matter at that time, it was Mr. Jian who Heng Yi picked out first, if it was really Mr. Jian's plan, how could he be sure that Heng Yi would go to the hotel for dinner that day, and how could he be sure that Heng Yi would definitely have a conflict with them." ”
Unexpectedly, Yurong was not persuaded by him, "But Heng Yi's temperament is not known in the whole P City, as long as you have the heart, you can know it with a little inquiry, and they live in the best hotel in P City, Heng Yi has always liked to eat lion heads there, even if Heng Yi didn't go that day, he will go at other times." ”
Xuanhe nodded when he heard this, and what Yurong said was not unreasonable, "But why did Mr. Jian do this?" What's in it for him. ”
Advantage? I'm afraid it's the two luminous stones of Aixinjueluo's family, but this matter is the secret of Aixinjueluo's family, and Yurong can't tell Xuanhe now.
