Card Room - 323. Mime private 473
【Chapter 473, Marriage】
This small town reminds Xiao Lou of Liuxi Village in 4 of Spades.
It is also located between remote mountains and forests, and usually few outsiders can find it here. On the surface, it looks like a paradise isolated from the world, but in reality there are many secrets hidden. All the villagers in Liuxi Village were poisoned and blinded by the old lady Qin, and I don’t know what happened in Qingshan Town. What happened to the mass graves on the cliffs near the town?
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang and suggested in a low voice: “It’s late at night, and I don’t know if there are hunters in this town. For safety’s sake, it is better not to act collectively. It is enough to send a few people to investigate.”
Yu Hanjiang thinks about it, too, there is no need for 12 people to enter the town collectively, and some teammates are not good at investigating. Lu Jiuchuan is the opener of Peach Blossom Spring. He can stay where he is and bring his teammates back at any time.
Chu Huaying, Senior Gui, Shao Qingge, Ye Qi and Liu Qiao can all stay. The chameleon card of Long Sen and Qu Wanyue can be fully integrated with the bluestone slab in the rainy night, which is very convenient for investigation. Lao Mo has the strongest sense of direction among all people. In case the internal roads in the town are complicated, Lao Mo can quickly identify the path and be a guide for everyone.
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang called by name and said: “Dragon, Qu, and Lao Mo, the three of you will go to the town with me and Xiao Lou to investigate, and the rest will stay in Taohuayuan.” He looked at Lu Jiuchuan and said, “Brother, I’m connected with you. If we are in danger, I will notify you as soon as possible, and you will directly bring us back to Taohuayuan.”
Lu Jiuchuan simply nodded: “Okay. The rest of us will take a look around the outskirts of the town, please be careful.”
Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, and Lao Mo put on invisibility cloaks, while Long Sen and Qu Wanyue used chameleon cards to quickly merge with the environment, and a group of five entered the boundaries of Qingfeng Town and proceeded along the spacious stone road all the way.
After walking for some distance, the rainstorm gradually stopped.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the soft moonlight pierced through the clouds and sprinkled down, like a layer of light gauze covering the town.
The area of this small town is very large.
There is a lake in the middle of the town, and the clear water reflects the moonlight. There is a circle of weeping willows planted by the lake, and there is a pavilion in the middle with a plaque named “Drunken Moon Pavilion”.
The bluestone road surrounding the entire lake was washed away by heavy rains.
Xiaolou stood by the lake and looked into the distance. With the moonlight, he could vaguely see the scattered buildings. The style of the building is very uniform, with white walls, blue bricks and green tiles, which are quite beautiful and charming of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Seeing no one around, Xiao Lou said in a soft voice: “Along the way, I saw bicycles, electric cars, and modern vehicles. It seems that this time is indeed an ancient background.”
Long Sen whispered: “The zombies in the mass graves are all small town residents, right?”
Xiao Lou said, “Go and take a look at the house, the town is a little strangely quiet. Go to the left first.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately followed Xiao Lou.
Everyone came to the main road to the left of the town and continued to explore.
The door of a house in front is closed, and there are two stone lions at the door. It looks very magnificent, it should be a big family.
Xiao Lou said, “Long Sen, Teacher Qu, you can go in here and have a look.”
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue directly turned over from the wall with cards with their legs becoming longer, and then quickly climbed to the window against the ground. Long Sen pretended to be a strong wind and pushed open the door, Qu Wanyue followed closely and sneaked in.
After a while, the two quickly returned to Xiaolou and said, “There is no one in the house.”
Yu Hanjiang said: “Explore again.”
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue continued to use this method to go to the house next door. After a few seconds, they said, “There is still no one.”
Yu Hanjiang frowned: “Is it an empty city?”
Xiao Loudao: “Let’s take another look. We can’t draw any conclusions yet.”
Everyone returned the same way and came to the lake.
Suddenly, Lao Mo said, “The roads in this small town extend in all directions, and there are many detours. I just took a closer look at the lake in the center. The surrounding willow trees are almost the same. The pavilion in the center of the lake is in all directions. Engraved with the words’Drunken Moon Hall’. In other words, it is difficult for us to identify the direction based on the reference in the town.”
Xiao Lou raised his head to look at the sky, frowning slightly: “There was a torrential rain just now, and now there is only the moon in the sky, no stars can be seen, and it is impossible to identify the direction based on the North Star and the Big Dipper.”
Yu Hanjiang whispered: “Is it a circular maze?”
Old Mo nodded: “It’s probably a maze, we have to continue to investigate and see.”
Xiao Loudao: “It seems that we can only use markers to find the way. Fortunately, it is still at night. We use arrows to mark, and we should not be found. The cloak of invisibility is only 30 minutes, so hurry up.”
Mo Xuemin said: “The road I have just visited is tentatively to the west. I will draw a map with the arrow pointing to the left. When the sun comes out tomorrow, if the direction is not right, I can rotate the map directly by a certain angle. .”
Xiao Lou said: “Okay, let’s go to the opposite place next.”
A group of people crossed the lake pavilion and continued to investigate in the other direction.
As soon as I walked into an alley, I suddenly heard the baby crying loudly in my ears. In the quiet night, the baby’s “wow wow” cried scared everyone. Long Sen took a deep breath and said, “This is too oozing. People!”
Qu Wanyue said: “Do you think there are people in the town, or is it better to be empty?”
Long Sen: “…”
Are the two options relatively speaking, or is the former better? At least someone can find clues.
Thinking of this, Long Sen took the initiative to ask Ying: “I will go and see.”
Xiao Lou said: “Let’s go together.”
He worried that if it was a trap, Long Qu and his wife might not be able to solve it.
The five swiftly moved in the direction of the baby’s cry. After a while, they saw a house with a light on and there was a commotion in the house. An old woman said: “Congratulations, young master, mother and child are safe!”
The child cried very loudly. The young man took the child from the infant and said with joy: “Great! The lightning and thunder just now really shocked me. I thought something would happen to my wife…”
The mother-in-law smiled and said, “Mrs. Ji Ren Tianxiang, this child is crying loudly, and he was born at full-term, so he looked very energetic.”
The young man said: “How is the madam?”
The mother-in-law said: “She fell asleep so tired, the maid was taking care of her in the house…”
The five Xiaolou hid under the willow tree by the wall, staring at each other as they watched this scene.
This family should be quite rich. There are more than a dozen maids and servants who are busy in the yard. It turned out that the young lady gave birth tonight and gave birth to a big fat boy. The young man who had become a father smiled and brought the child into the house. The cry of the child was still very loud. Xiaolou and his party stayed outside for a while and found nothing happened, so they evacuated quickly.
Lao Mo picked up the pen and paper, quickly recorded the location of the family, and said: “I marked on the map. I don’t know if there is a child born in this family, is it a clue to the plot?”
Xiao Lou said: “It’s not clear at the moment, please write it down and talk about it tomorrow.”
Everyone keeps moving forward. Most of the houses in this area are full of people. Long Sen and Qu Wanyue sneaked out all the residents, 99% were sleeping, and the remaining 1% was awakened by the cry of the baby. There is a couple. Still discussing: “Did the young lady of the Liu family give birth? Do you want to see it?” “What to see at this late hour, go to bed first, and talk about it tomorrow.”
Xue family, Lao Mo wrote the word “willow” on the map.
The five went around the detour and found that they had returned to the lake in the middle of the town. Old Mo said, “Ring structure?”
Thinking of the leaf-shaped labyrinth in the ancient tomb, everyone couldn’t help but feel big.
After walking for a long time to return to the original road, it must have taken a circular road, but what exactly is the structure of the entire maze is still unclear. Xiao Lou glanced at the two roads marked with arrows that he had walked just now, and said: “Continue to investigate. , Time is limited, we try to check some maze areas as much as possible. Everyone will come in together tomorrow and have a bottom in my heart.”
Everyone picked an untraveled road and continued on.
Just after walking some distance, I suddenly heard a loud firecracker sound from the side alley, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, and several people sounded the suona at the same time.
I have to say that it sounds much better than Ye Qi.
Suona is an instrument that deserves to be the king of musical instruments, and its refreshing effect is extremely powerful. The five people were shocked by the sudden sound of suona, and Xiao Lou looked back—
I saw a row of welcoming parties beating gongs and drums, carrying the big sedan chair, and carrying the bride out of a family.
The bride’s family background should be quite good. The dowry alone carried more than a dozen boxes. Four dowry girls followed the sedan chair, as well as the matchmaker, Xi Niang, and the welcoming team…
This long line of welcoming parties was really spectacular. They passed in front of the few people in Xiaolou. Since all five of them were in a state of invisibility, the welcoming team did not find them.
A maid smiled and said to the matchmaker: “The rain has finally stopped. If it doesn’t stop, our lady will have to marry in the heavy rain. Fortunately, God has eyes and didn’t miss the auspicious time.”
Another maid said: “The fortune-teller said it’s best for the young lady to get on the sedan chair at Yinshi, isn’t this? When the Yinshi arrived, the rain suddenly stopped. The young lady and the son must be a match made in heaven.”
The woman in the sedan chair whispered, “Don’t be poor, you two, be heard by others. Beware of jokes.”
“Yes, miss.” The two whispering maids immediately shut their mouths and walked forward next to the sedan chair.
The mighty welcoming team walked out of the town with gongs and drums. Many people around were awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and some people wore cloaks and came out to watch the excitement.
Xiao Lou always felt something was wrong, but couldn’t tell.
The five continued to explore the area, walked around and returned to the central lake.
At this moment, Lu Jiuchuan’s voice rang in Yu Hanjiang’s mind: “Hanjiang, have you finished the investigation? 30 minutes is almost here, come back first, let’s talk about it at dawn. Don’t be too risky.”
Yu Hanjiang asked, “Brother, have you seen a bridal welcoming team leaving the town?”
Lu Jiuchuan was puzzled: “The welcoming team? I didn’t see it.”
Yu Hanjiang couldn’t help but stunned when he heard this: “I didn’t see it? Didn’t they walk out of the town?”
Lu Jiuchuan said: “We have been at the door of the town, and indeed there is no welcoming team showing up.”
Yu Hanjiang: “…”
Yu Hanjiang, who found that something was wrong, immediately told Xiao Lou: “Brother Nine and the others were guarding the door of the town, but they didn’t see the welcoming party going out. Is this young lady married to a local man? Or, there is another town in this town. An exit?”
Xiao Lou was silent for a moment before he said, “I always find one of the two chatting maids familiar.”
Yu Hanjiang was puzzled: “Familiar?”
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and whispered: “I don’t remember their faces, but I remember those red embroidered shoes… Among those zombies that crawled out from under the tombstone just now, there was a female zombie wearing the same embroidered shoes. She was very close to me and almost grabbed me, so I could see clearly.”
This sentence made everyone on the scene gasp.
In other words, the girl who was smiling and chatting with her companion had crawled out of the ground not long ago and almost grabbed Xiao Lou’s ankle with Bai Sensen’s hand.
She is dead.
Qu Wanyue’s voice trembled: “This… is it… the wedding party just now married… a ghost wife?”
