Chapter 18 The Lotus Lantern

As soon as Miao Zhichen came out of Xiu Se Lou, he met Liu Chenxiang and Huang Daxian. They each had a candied haws, and their mouths were full of sticky candies, like two children who couldn't grow up.

Miao Zhichen thought, no wonder Erlang God left as soon as he said it, because he didn't want to meet Liu Chenxiang.

Liu Chenxiang handed her candied haws to Miao Zhichen, and said, "Zhichen, the candied haws in Yangzhou are even better than those in Liujia Village."

Miao Zhichen declined Liu Chenxiang's kindness, pushed the candied haws back to him, and said, "Yangzhou is a big city, so Liujia Village can't compare to it."

Huang Daxian leaned close to Miao Zhichen's neck and sniffed, and said, "Zhichen, did you take some panacea just now? I seem to smell a bit of immortality on you."

This so-called fairy spirit probably belonged to Yang Jian. Of course, Miao Zhichen couldn't tell the truth, so he said perfunctorily: "You think too much, maybe the food and wine in this beautiful building is too good."

Speaking of Xiuselou, Liu Chenxiang and Huang Daxian were both hungry, they were just wandering around without eating, their stomachs were growling, and Miao Zhichen drank a cup of tea with Yang Jian just after entering Xiuselou , without eating the staple food, the three of them turned around and entered Xiu Se Lou again.

Because the shopkeeper saw Miao Zhichen staying with Zheng Xiu with his own eyes, he decided that he was either Zheng Xiu's friend or Zheng Xiu's future husband. Not only did Xiaoer serve the best meals for the three of them, They also waived their meal bills.

The three poor guys are happy to enjoy this treatment-although they can earn money by performing arts, the price of goods in Yangzhou is too high, and if they don't worry about it, they will just sit and eat.

When Xiao Er came to serve the three of them, he took the initiative to talk to Miao Zhichen and said, "Guest officer, did you talk to that handsome guest on the second floor just now?"

The handsome guest in Xiaoer's mouth refers to Erlang God, but at this moment, the guests on the first floor are still discussing Yang Jian in a low voice.

Miao Zhichen said: "Just a few words, it's good to be beautiful."

Xiao Er's desire to gossip was satisfied, so she put down her plate and happily went to another table.

Liu Chenxiang asked: "What handsome guest?"

Miao Zhichen said, "He's just a good-looking man."

Xiao Er brought the second dish, glanced at Liu Chenxiang, and said: "This guest official is quite similar to that guest just now."

Miao Zhichen thumped in his heart, feeling a little guilty. After all, Liu Chenxiang regarded Erlang God as an enemy. He was Liu Chenxiang's companion on the surface, and it was difficult to explain clearly when he had contact with Erlang God in private.

Liu Chenxiang laughed nervously, and said, "Are you praising me for being handsome?"

Xiaoer gave Liu Chenxiang a thumbs up and said, "It's very handsome!"

Liu Chenxiang happily picked up a chicken leg for herself.

Miao Zhichen: "..." He should really be thankful that Liu Chenxiang is an idiot.

The predestined person that Zheng Xiu was looking for was found in the afternoon. It was a scholar named Zhang Run.

The servant passed all the information he got to Zheng Xiu, and Zheng Xiu asked, "How do you look?"

The servant said, "I didn't see anyone."

Zheng Xiu asked strangely, "Why didn't I see anyone?"

The servant said: "The doors and windows of the scholar's house were tightly closed, and no one answered when we knocked on the door. We thought the man might have gone out, so we asked the neighbors, but the neighbors said that the scholar hadn't come out since he got home yesterday. Go through the door."

Zheng Xiu said: "Those who have gone three poles today are not still sleeping, are they? You go and watch, I have to see others today."

The servant said, "Yes."

Zheng Xiu doesn't really hate scholars, but she thinks they are so pedantic, so she must meet Zhang Run first.

In the evening, the servant gave Zheng Xiu another message, that Zhang Run's house seemed to be haunted.

Jia Ding said: "According to the neighbors, from half a month ago, every night, they would hear strange movements in Zhang Run's home. That is to say, since that day, Zhang Run's spirit has become worse day by day. Yesterday Zhang Run returned to the house. When I got home, I brought a lot of talisman papers, maybe I want to do something."

Zheng Xiu frowned delicately, "Did someone see a ghost?"

Jia Ding shook his head: "That's not true. Everyone spread it like this. Someone asked Zhang Run if something happened at home. Zhang Run kept it secret and said nothing."

Zheng Xiu nodded, indicating that she understood, and asked the servant to continue to stare outside Zhang Run's house.

After the three of Miao Zhichen returned to the Zheng residence, Zheng Xiu approached Miao Zhichen.

Zheng Xiu told Miao Zhichen about Zhang Run, and while Miao Zhichen was thankful that the lady finally let him go, he was worried that this predestined person should not make any trouble.

Just hearing others say how many people were arguing, they couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so they decided to go to that Zhang Run's house together to have a look.

Zhang Run's house is quite out of the way, half an hour's journey away from Zheng's residence, fortunately Miss Zheng Xiu has her own carriage to do the trip for her.

The carriage had three seats, Zheng Xiu and Miao Zhichen had no dispute that they sat in the carriage, and Liu Chenxiang and Huang Daxian relied on guessing to get the third seat in the carriage.Two wins out of three, Huang Daxian lost all three, and reluctantly went to drive with the coachman.

Liu Chenxiang patted Huang Daxian on the shoulder and said: "Hey, this is also very good. We will also hire a carriage when we go to Huashan in the future. Then you can be a coachman directly. You should learn how to drive a carriage from others." .”

Huang Daxian was so angry that he almost raised his tail.

It was Liu Chenxiang's first time riding in a carriage, and she was so excited that she fumbled around in the carriage.

Zheng Xiu said with disgust, "You have never seen the world."

Liu Chenxiang said frankly: "I just haven't seen it before."

Zheng Xiu was speechless.

After Liu Chenxiang finished her addiction, she sat down next to Miao Zhichen.

Liu Chenxiang said: "I don't know what a ghost looks like."

Miao Zhichen said, "Don't ask me, I haven't seen it before."

Liu Chenxiang said: "Haha, then we will see each other soon."

Zheng Xiu rolled her eyes in an unladylike way, and said, "Why do you expect ghosts to haunt someone else's house? It's not a good thing to be haunted, not to mention that this person might be my unmarried husband-in-law."

Liu Chenxiang said: "You will not understand men's pursuit."

Miao Zhichen: "..." I don't quite understand your pursuit either.

Zheng Xiu: "..." Fortunately, it wasn't this guy who got the handkerchief back then.

Amidst the quarrel of the three, the carriage arrived at Zhang Run's house.

Everyone unanimously recommended Miao Zhichen to knock on the door. Who made him have a harmless and lovable face?

As a courier brother, Miao Zhichen is used to knocking on other people's doors, and he didn't refuse.

He knocked on the door three times, but no one answered him; knocked three more times, but no one answered him.

The servant who was squatting outside Zhang Run's house said: "We are sure that no one in Zhang Run's house is going out, there must be someone inside."

Huang Daxian made a terrifying assumption, "Will everyone die inside?"

Zheng Xiu slapped Huang Daxian on the back of the head, "Don't be crowed!"

Huang Daxian said aggrievedly: "I am not a crow." I am a weasel.

No one opened the door of Zhang Run's house, so Liu Chenxiang suggested that they climb over the wall and enter.

Zheng Xiu said, "This is not very good."

Liu Chenxiang said: "If his house is really haunted, we might be able to save them by sneaking in."

Zheng Xiu thought about it and agreed.

Of course, things like climbing over the wall cannot be done in broad daylight, and you have to wait until night to do it.

Miao Zhichen, Liu Chenxiang and Huang Daxian replaced the servants, and waited outside Zhang Run's house until dark.Zheng Xiu was a girl after all, and the daughter of a rich family, no matter how advanced her thinking was, she couldn't go to other people's houses with a man, so she led her family back to Zheng's mansion first, and just waited for news from Miao Zhichen and the others.

When night fell, Liu Chenxiang took the lead to climb over the wall with his ax on his shoulders. After turning over, he stretched out his hands, saying that he wanted to meet Miao Zhichen and let Miao Zhichen jump down bravely. He would use his broad arms Bend to catch the person.

Miao Zhichen was stunned by the thunder, so he walked a little farther on purpose before jumping off the wall, which made Liu Chenxiang quite regretful.

Huang Daxian said: "I haven't danced yet, why don't you catch me?"

Liu Chenxiang said: "You are a monster who can jump the fence and fall to your death, then go back to Liujia Village to practice again!"

Huang Daxian said: "The aura of Liujia Village is not good."

When Huang Daxian jumped down, his tail hung on the top of a tree beside him, and he didn't stand still. Miao Zhichen grabbed Huang Daxian's collar quickly with his eyes and hands, so that he didn't let him fall.

Huang Daxian was so moved that his eyes were full of tears, and said: "Daughter-in-law, you are the best for me."

Miao Zhichen pushed Huang Daxian's head away from him, and said in a straight voice, "Get lost!"

Huang Daxian hugged his big tail injured.

Zhang Run's house is not big, just a few rooms, it is incomparable with the maze-like layout of Zheng's mansion.

When the three of them were guessing which room was Zhang Run's room, they heard a man's scream and the sound of a heavy object falling from the middle room.

Miao Zhichen said, "Let's go!"

The three of them rushed to the room, but they ran into the mist while running.

The mist was pink and thicker and thicker, completely blocking the sight of the three of them. Although the three of them were standing very close, they couldn't even see each other.

They braked the car, not daring to act rashly again.

"Wow, there really is a ghost!" Liu Chenxiang's tone was full of joy.

Huang Daxian said nervously: "Daughter-in-law, you quickly hold my tail and follow me closely, I will protect you!"

Miao Zhichen said: "No, thank you." Who would want to catch a monster's tail!The most important thing is to shed your tail hair!

The three of them were back to back in the mist, when they suddenly heard a chuckle sounding from all around.

The voice was crisp and sweet, as if it could make people smell sweet.

The ghost is coming.
