Bone

Chapter 43

The sound of a strange dream dissipated, and Tan Fengyue slowly opened her eyes, only feeling dizzy and dull pain in her head, hands and feet seemed to be immersed in deep water, limp and unable to exert strength.

It was already light outside the window, and there were two or three short birdsong.He turned his head slightly with some difficulty, and saw that Qin Nianjiu was tired from waiting, and was lying on his bedside, soundly asleep.

"..." As soon as he recalled the absurd nightmare that seemed to be suffering just now, his already swollen brain became more and more painful.With a dark face, he rubbed his forehead with his hands, and did not make any other movements for a long time.

Why is he so noisy and annoying?Who is that boy in white?In the dream, he said "my master", it seems that he is not without a family or sect...and which sect is it?Since he said "my master", the two of them don't belong to the same sect?Since they don't belong to the same sect, why did his master tell him to often go to play with the boy in white?

There were many doubts, but he didn't want to delve into any of them. He even wished he had never seen this episode——sister?What the hell sister!

I have been aimlessly chasing my predecessors for 52 years, and I am so embarrassed! ?

Tan Fengyue couldn't accept it at all, he hissed lightly, and heard the rustling of clothes, it was the ghost who was awakened, rubbing his eyes and asking him in a daze, "...wake up?"

He breathed a sigh of relief again: "Phew, I'm still worried that something went wrong...how, did it work, what did you see—"

Tan Fengyue waved her hand with a gloomy face, and stopped the voice he wanted to ask.

what happened?Qin Nianjiu came to his senses, looked at Tan Fengyue with a gloomy expression in puzzlement, and cautiously called him, "... Patriarch?"

Could it be like him, recalling some unbearable scenes in the dream?

The scene in the dream was indeed unbearable. Tan Fengyue's face was gloomy, as if she didn't want to mention it again, she just put her hand on her forehead, and said firmly: "... This method is feasible. Find a chance to go to Yanna Palace."

"Uh..." Well, knowing that this method is feasible, Qin Nianjiu felt a little more at ease, and seeing Tan Fengyue's face was very ugly, looking like he was angry, he had to temporarily put aside his inquisitive thoughts, and suppressed his doubts with him. Discuss, "Then how to 'seek opportunities'?"

Tan Fengyue's mind is still in a mess, she can't think very much, she rubbed her forehead and said casually: "...Let's go with fate."

... How could this be just a matter of fate? Could it be that Gong Buwang would come to his door to give him nightmares?Qin Nianjiu frowned unknowingly, and was speechless when he heard someone knock on the wooden door.

The person who knocked on the door moved very lightly, as if hesitating, and then without waiting for their response, he pushed the door open suddenly.

The visitor turned out to be Gongbuwang.

...Why do these two live in the same room?Gong Buwang stood by the door, a pair of phoenix eyes full of suspicion flicked back and forth between the two of them, and his red lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't open his mouth, only coughed lightly in embarrassment .

This attitude obviously misunderstood the relationship between the two of them, but Qin Nian has been unreasonable for a long time, and he is at a loss when talking about Fengyue. There are cars and horses coming to collect the goods. You two can't be idle, just supervise the work with me."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the two of them answered or not, they turned around and took a few steps, then turned back and urged in displeasure, "Why don't you move?!"

"... Uh," just because of the dream, it was dragged on for a while, and it was already Maoshi, and it was indeed time to go to work.Qin Nianjiu recovered from the astonishment that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, looked at Tan Fengyue who was still sitting on the bed with a little embarrassment, and then turned to Gong Buwang, "...Will we wash first?"

It seems that these two people really live in the same room... Gong Buwang's original suspicious expression turned into indescribably complicated, and he didn't rush to urge him anymore, and he backed down in a kindly way: "I'm waiting in front of the courtyard. you."

After saying that, he really backed out.

After a brief burst of ping-pong, the wooden door opened with a "bang" sound from the inside, and the two people, one green and one red, came out as usual, the lazy one holding the umbrella, the cold face holding the fan—only the one with the cold face Today, for some reason, his complexion became even colder.

Gong Buwang had played two games with Qin Nianjiu, so he was more familiar with him, so he walked to his side consciously, and led the two of them to walk slowly towards the north gate. The sunlight shone on the figures of the three of them, like new old.

Qin Nianjiu was suspicious just now, why the city lord was required to convey it in person, only to find out that all the ghosts in the city were mobilized when they left the small courtyard, counting the goods, checking the manifest, packing, packing, and transporting the goods... No one was idle, and couldn't help but be speechless, "Such a big battle..."

Said to be a supervisor, but Gong Buwang's eyes kept wandering on Tan and Qin's bodies, and he chuckled lightly, "Isn't it?"

All the ghosts in the city have been restrained, they have neither emotions nor greed, so there is no need to "watch".The reason why she asked these two people to come together was just to find out if they were really obedient and if they wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the city.Now it seems... these two people are very honest.

Since Tan Fengyue came out of that strange dream, it can be said that she has cut off the idea of ​​recalling the past, it doesn't matter whether she goes or stays, she naturally looks very peaceful, Qin Nianjiu originally had this idea, but this Gongbuju didn't leave her eyes the whole time Naturally, he didn't dare to show it, so he could only pretend to be ignorant, and asked some irrelevant questions, "There are so many colored glazes, can't they be transported all at once?"

This question couldn't be simpler, and there was no sense of probing involved, but Gong Buwang answered him in a daze, "...the luck is over."

Not letting go of her dazed look, Qin Nianjiu woke up for a moment, then acted silly, "Ah, there must be a lot of cars coming, right?"

...how did she never think about these questions?Gong Buwang was even more stunned, his brows were slightly frowned, "... but two."

"Two cars!" Qin Nian pretended to exclaim, "So, Miss Gong must have used some technique of moving things similar to 'Five Ghosts for Fortune' or 'Sleeve Cosmos'? It's really clever."

"..." Gong Buwangxiu frowned more tightly, and her steps slowed down, "...it's not me."

It wasn't the spell she cast, and the person who came was not sent by her—who is that?

"Ah?" Qin Nianjiu asked the same question, "Who is that?"

Before the words finished, Gong Buwang's unique daze appeared on her face, and when she was concentrating again, she took the topic away again, "The north gate is here."

The location of the north gate is extremely remote, facing a hillside, and there is no road access.All the ghosts lined up from the gate to the city, transferring each wooden box tacitly like a relay.As soon as the dead soul standing at the end put the box in the door opening, several figures could be vaguely seen reaching out to take the box away, their gestures seemed very relaxed.

Gong Buwang held the silver cigarette rod arrogantly, and told the two of them with the appearance of a rich and noble landlord, "Be careful, don't let the city people drop things, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay for it if you sell it." !"

"Why can't I afford it? I'll just let it go. The person next to me is so precious—" Qin Nianjiu first teased Tan Fengyue, and seeing that Gong Buwang's expression was still a little loose, he followed her. Then he hurriedly asked: "Could it be that this thing is going to be given to some noble person?"

Gong Buwang slightly raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of hesitation in his voice that he didn't notice, "Of course..."

Before she could say something "of course", Qin Nianjiu took a look at her and rushed to ask, "Oh? Where is the nobleman from?"

Immediately afterwards, several questions were thrown like a cannonball, vowing to ask her as if she was confused, "Is this carriage hired by a palace lady? Is driving a car also a dead soul? Isn't the nobleman afraid of seeing dead souls?..."

"..."

No one has ever asked her these questions... Questions poured into her ears one after another, as if she was casting a spell that could confuse her mind. Gong Buwang frowned, with an extremely blank expression, trying to answer his questions, but a single voice She couldn't even say it, and her mind seemed to be blocked all at once. She wanted to think deeply about what he asked, but all the questions came together into one sentence—why did she never think about these questions?

...or had she thought about it, thought about it, and just... forgot?

Knowing that she would avoid topics related to her own death, seeing her in such a strange state, Qin Nianjiu already had a guess in his heart: the origin of the carriage and horses might be related to her death!

Gong Buwang frowned tightly, still dazed, as if he was struggling with his chaotic thoughts, but when he heard the talk that had been silent all the way, Fengyue suddenly opened his mouth.

"The palace is not false." He called.

The name is a soul curse that comes with a person, so the first thing to call out when summoning the soul is the name of the person being recruited—Gong Buwang came back to his senses for a moment, and looked at him as if he had just woken up from a dream, "...um ?”

Since the topic related to her life and death cannot be discussed, it is better to bypass it.He looked at the dead souls transporting wooden boxes back and forth, and pretended to casually ask, "The Lord of the palace has a bad memory, and often forgets things?"

Having stayed in this city for nearly 60 years for no reason, Gong Buwang was more or less aware that something was wrong with her, but she only had a conversation with this cold-faced man once when she entered the city, and she was not very familiar with him, nor did she know much about him. Having a crush on him, Zhi Zang glanced at him vigilantly, then flatly raised his eyebrows and denied, "How could that be."

Tan Fengyue gently flapped her fan, and calmly provoked her, "Oh? But when I entered the city, I asked the city owner why the city was called Qingyuan, but the city owner couldn't answer."

When did he ask that?Gong Buwang frowned again, unwilling to admit that he had forgotten, and said coldly: "You forgot, I answered you clearly, because this city is close to the source of Qingjiang River, and Qingjiang River often suffers from floods, so The name 'Qingyuan' is used as a water town, implying that the Qingjiang River is long and thin, and it is for peace."

"Ah, so it's so particular..." Qin Nianjiu saw that the patriarch wanted to test how much she remembered, so he also mixed it in, "So, there is also a saying about Miss Gong's name?"

Facing Qin Nianjiu, Gong Buwang's attitude was obviously much better, and he nodded with a little pride, "Don't lie, don't act rashly, and don't act rashly."

It seems that she still remembers these innocuous things clearly... "Strange, strange. Since 'Qingyuan' in the past meant peace—" Tan Fengyue's voice was still faint, and she said to herself: "Why did it change? What does the ghost town look like today?"

Gong Buwang was taken aback suddenly.

——This time she didn't froze, and her eyes didn't become blank.

To her, this seems to be a natural and normal thing, but she has never thought about it—yes, Qingyuan was not like this in the past, there were city people teasing her, and children playing with her , You Qinyuan made clothes for her... Since when did everything change?

Before she could think about it any further, the cold-faced man said with a bit of annoyance, "I also said that the city lord is the same as the two of us, both of whom have impaired memory, and need to find some way to recall some of the past. ...Looks like I was being smart and guessed wrong. I'm sorry for the abruptness of the city lord."

After finishing speaking, he pinched the bridge of his nose in shame, and gently tugged Qin Nianjiu as if he was standing there without any face, and pointed at the busy ghosts with his fan, "It doesn't seem good to just stand here and do nothing, we Go over and give me a hand, too."

"...Oh, yes." Although I don't know what this old ancestor is acting, but it is always right to cooperate.Qin Nianjiu hurriedly followed his footsteps.

But before he took two steps, Gong Buwang spoke coldly behind him.

--"and many more."

Gong Buwang's expression was as cold as snow, and his voice was also very stiff, "You just said that both of you have impaired memory?"

Qin Nianjiu said in his heart that it was bad, this time he screwed up——

But Na Gong continued hesitantly: "...that can help you recall the past, what kind of method is it?"
