Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 430

[Chapter 430 Mask Country (IX)]

Luo Yan had met the Queen of the Mask Country, and that Queen of the Mask Country still wanted her own life. Isn’t the reason why she came to the Mask Country now because the Queen of the Mask Country kidnapped Kangle? There were multiple questions at a time, and Luo Yan was afraid that there was no way to get the answer. Only one by one came. After Luo Yan asked the question, the woman wearing the mask replied: “When people in the mask country are born, the midwife will give them to them. He puts on a mask, and as he grows older, when he reaches a certain age, he has to go to the yamen to replace it.”

Li Wenyu felt very strange, and hurriedly asked: “Your queen is not tired of making so many masks, isn’t she?

” That is, to do so much, and how does she know who has a child with a big face?” Xiao Ying was curious, so she looked at the woman wearing the mask and wanted to know more from the woman’s mouth.

The masked woman laughed, looked at the people in front of her like a monster, and replied, “Our queen’s abilities are beyond your imagination.”

“That’s true.” Luo Yan nodded, thinking in her heart. Contemplating what to do next.

Xiaoying and Li Wenyu kept asking questions, and the woman just answered, but she was not unhappy. After all, she received the money and seemed willing to tell them something. After sitting for a while, Luo Yan glanced at Wang Chuan and said to the masked woman, “Auntie, if I bother you for a long time, we should leave.”

“Well, I won’t leave you here. .” The masked woman stood up, probably because she had been annoyed for so long, and wished these people would leave soon. Wang Chuan and a few people were also sensible. They walked on their own without asking anyone to send them off. Fortunately, after asking the direction, they knew that going south was the palace. Luo Yan walked at the front, looking back while walking, Li Wenyu followed and looked back, and asked curiously, “Idol, what are you looking at?”

“…Nothing.” Luo Yan suddenly felt where the aunt’s eyes seemed to be. I’ve seen it, but think about it and think it’s impossible.

After walking for a while, Li Wenyu shouted that he was tired, and a few people sat down and rested on the side of the road, blowing the wind and looking at the surrounding scenery, Xuehu asked in a low voice: “Do you think there is anything wrong with that aunt? ?”

“Xuehu, what are you referring to…” Luo Yan wondered if Xuehu went with her.

Xuehu looked at Luo Yan and replied, “That aunt didn’t seem to ask why we want to see the queen.”

“What’s weird about that.” Li Wenyu didn’t take it seriously, all he could think about were the strange things that the woman wearing the mask said. matter.

Luo Yan shook her head and said in a positive tone: “At first, I didn’t think so, but later, I felt the same as Xuehu, and felt that the aunt was a little too easy-going. It’s like memorizing an article.” Luo Yan wrote novels after all, and he did a good job of researching the dialogues and expressions of some characters, and the woman in the mask could not escape Luo Yan’s eyes.

Wang Chuan nodded. Since he entered the mask country, he has rarely spoken, because he said that after entering the mask country, everyone should listen to Luo Yan, so he tried to avoid his own opinions. Now he listens to Luo Yan’s words before answering. Said: “I also think it’s weird, but she doesn’t have any spiritual energy, so she should be just an ordinary person.”

“Ordinary people, whether they have spiritual energy, if she is the queen of the mask country, it will be terrible.” Xuehu frowned, this country gave her a strange feeling, like a dream, and it seemed a little illogical.

When Xiao Ying heard it, she shouted, “Then you said she poisoned us just now?”

“…” Everyone, including Li Wenyu, looked at Xiao Ying. If it was poisoned, Wang Chuan would not know it. Little Ying seems to be so excited that she forgot the fact that her master is a ghost doctor. Under everyone’s attention, Xiao Ying’s mind became clearer, and she sat safely beside Xuehu, pouting. “It’s just a joke.”

“Before we met the Queen of the Mask Kingdom, many things were unclear, and it was difficult for us to make judgments.” Luo Yan took out the pack of cigarettes that Li Wenyu gave her, and pulled out one. , after lighting it, she began to smoke. At this time, what she needed most was something like this, which could refresh her mind. This is how she spent countless writing nights, and her habit was formed because of this. Although things are not a good thing, at some moments, Luo Yan really cannot do without.

Wang Chuan frowned slightly when he saw Luo Yan smoking. After he came to the world, the thing he disliked the most was that he could often see women smoking, no matter what occupation and status, including the students who were studying. There will be a cigarette. However, he had no way to accuse Luo Yan. He thought that Luo Sichen must have said these words of advice many times. Since it was useless, he would not listen to Luo Yan even if he said it himself. it is good.

After resting for a while, they set off and walked to the south. When it was almost dark, they saw the city. There was a sign on the city gate that said ‘Haicheng’, but there was no guard on either side of the city gate. .

“Such a big city, wouldn’t it be an empty city?” Li Wenyu looked from the outside, the city walls were tall enough, and at a glance, he knew that the city was not small.

When Luo Yan heard what Li Wenyu said, she turned around and smiled: “Go in and see if you don’t know.” After speaking, she strode towards the city gate. After they entered the city, she realized that she was wrong. I know how prosperous it is. There are restaurants and merchants on both sides of the street. All kinds of transactions are very popular. There are also some hawkers who carry the burden and sell things. As the woman wearing the mask said, whether it is adults or children in this city, People from one to a few dozen years old all wear masks on their faces. Although the woman said she can identify who is who, in the eyes of Luo Yan and Wang Chuan, everyone’s masks seem to be similar, even if they are acquaintances. Can’t recognize who is who.

“Oh my God, they’re all wearing masks.” Xiao Ying was stunned when she saw people wearing masks all over the street.

In fact, it is true that they look at others and think others are weird, and when others see them, they think they are abnormal. When they stand in the middle of the road, whether it is a hawker or a person walking on the street, they all stop. , look at them. However, after a few glances, they went back to their own way. Men and women in this city, young and old, tall, short, thin, fat and fat, but everyone’s masks fit the shape of their faces. No matter how little Ying looks from the back, there is no face at all. .

Luo Yan couldn’t help but boast: “This queen is really a genius, which makes me doubt her age.”

“Sister Luo, why do you say that?” Xiao Ying looked at Luo Yan curiously.

After Luo Yan sneered, she replied in a low voice: “It will take several years to paint the masks of the people in this city. If there are ten cities in the country, how long do you think she would have to paint?”

“Isn’t that decades?” Xiao Ying’s math is not bad, and it’s calculated at once.

Luo Yan shrugged and replied softly, “That’s not it, but her figure and voice sounded only in her twenties or thirties.”

“Idol, I know why!” Li Wenyu seemed to understand, and approached Luo Yan, She whispered: “She may be similar to the woman who played Wu Zetian, although she is a lot older, looking and listening from the back is a loli that makes people want to push her!”

“Oh, you really think about it. Luo Yan shook her head with a smile. After seeing an inn in front of her, she turned around and asked Xuehu, “Xuehu, do you still have any money on you?”

“Yes.” Xuehu took out two pieces of silver from his belt and put it in It reached Luo Yan’s palm.

Luo Yan was really helpless, who told him to be in this ghost place and couldn’t use RMB, so he had to borrow some money from Xuehu first. Seeing that it was getting dark, it was true that they had to find a place to live. With the money, it’s really easy to do things. The little Er of the inn doesn’t care if Luo Yanwangchuan and the others are weird or not, and doesn’t refuse them because they don’t wear masks, so he readily arranges a room for them, or a famous room. . There are three rooms in total, one for Wang Chuan and Li Wenyu, one for Luo Yan, and one for Xuehu and Xiaoying. The three rooms are side by side, and Luo Yan’s room is between Wang Chuan and Xuehu. After arranging a place to sleep, everyone came to Luo Yan’s room as Luo Yan said, because Luo Yan asked the inn’s second to prepare a good meal. This is the first time Li Wenyu has seen white rice and those chickens and fish in dozens of hours. He doesn’t even care to say a word, so he hastily scooped up his fill and waited until everyone else had eaten the same. I just felt my stomach and hiccupped.

“Uh, the taste is not bad.”

“Well, I also think that the cooking skills here are about to catch up with Sister Xuehu.” Xiaoying sat on the stool, her feet swayed back and forth, she was full of food and drink, and she began to feel sleepy. , but did not dare to go back to the room, because Wang Chuan had said that he wanted to listen to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan didn’t seem to be in a hurry. Even though he was full, he was slowly putting the vegetables into his mouth. When he couldn’t eat enough, he glanced at Li Wenyu.

“I’ll arrange an errand for you tonight.”

“Idol, you won’t ask me to keep watch, will you?” Li Wenyu said this in novels and movies, saying that some people came to a dangerous place, and then they would take turns to arrange People watch the night to prevent others from doing bad things.

Luo Yan shook his head and said with a smile, “There’s no need to watch the night. If someone really wants to do something, it’s useless to prevent it. It’s better to let it happen.”

“What do you mean…” Wang Chuan heard Luo Yan’s words. sound.

Luo Yan cautiously looked around, but did not find anyone eavesdropping, so she whispered: “Someone will definitely come to us tonight, as for who and what purpose, it is still unclear, then, we will definitely Don’t get lost.”

“Then what is my errand?” Li Wenyu couldn’t help but care about this issue.

Luo Yan replied with a smile: “It’s very simple, you just pretend to be drunk, go crazy with alcohol, and make us all quarrel.”

“Great idea, once we all wake up, even if they just want to take one person away, they have to Tie us all together.” Wang Chuan clearly understood what Luo Yan meant.
