171. A stranger to a stranger

It's snowing in the capital,

It's a little bigger than the last time.

The heavy snow fell down, which made the people walking on the street amazed.

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Almost everyone makes beautiful expectations in their hearts after seeing such heavy snow. This kind of wish will not change for thousands of years no matter when and where, whether it has traveled through the void.

When I opened the window, a cold wind swept in with snowflakes, slashing on my face and causing pain, but Qi Lu narrowed his eyes comfortably.

He reached out to take a snowflake, saw it sticking to his hands, and then quickly melted into a pool of ice water. He looked at the merchants running around the street looking for a place to stay, and the unique atmosphere of fireworks in the world made him feel particularly at ease.

There was a person walking outside the door and looked at Qi Lu by the window, both of them were stunned.

"Young Master Qi?"

The heavy snow almost blocked their sight, but Qi Lu recognized the person here in just a moment.

My thoughts couldn't help but return to the mountain temple that night. For the sake of the death of my brother, the Lin Chengfeng was a little smart, but he was the flawless and the merits.

"Have your friend's family been settled?"

Lin Chengfeng's face was full of fatigue and dusty appearance. It only takes a look at it to tell the fatigue during this period.

Hearing this, he nodded with a smile: "It's already done."

As he said that, he couldn't help but bow his hand, his tone was full of admiration, "I thought it would be difficult to find the trace of the young master in this huge capital, but I never thought that when I entered the city, I heard many people talking about the young master. I was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had a great magical power. In just one or two months, I had already gained such a great reputation in the capital, which really made me admire him."

Qi Lu was a little embarrassed to say to him, and said with a smile: "I just wrote a few sour poems, and I don't know who spread the rumors. I became proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; as for the supernatural magical skills... if I really had such ability, I would not be attacked by those scholars everywhere. Alas... it's hard to describe it!"

When Qi Lu saw Lin Chengfeng, his heart was extremely complicated. It was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. It was always a happy thing to meet a person with a good character in the capital.

"I thought you wouldn't come to the capital after so long, and I didn't expect to meet you today."

As Qi Lu said that, he left the window, walked to the door of the shop, opened the door, and smiled and said, "Let's talk about it first."

"Thank you, young master!"

Lin Chengfeng thanked him, then shook the snowflakes that did not exist on his body, and then walked into the shop.

After closing the doors and windows, Qi Lu added two pieces of charcoal to the stove that had already grown a few days ago, which restored a little warmth to the room that had just become a little cool.

He called Chenyu and asked her to buy more wine and food tonight. Chenyu asked curiously, "Is the young master going to entertain guests?"

"Yes." Qi Lu touched her head and asked her to go and prepare quickly.

After both sides sat down, Qi Lu took the lead and asked, "Is it going smoothly when I come in?"

Unexpectedly, he just asked casually, just like after two neighbors met, they greeted each other out of politeness: "Have you eaten?" It was the same. But Lin Chengfeng shook his head tiredly and smiled bitterly: "I encountered many strange things on the way back when I came. I could deal with other small things, but when I passed by Chongyang Town, I always felt... the people there were very strange."

Qi Lu:...

These days, I have encountered few strange things somewhere. I don’t want to hear them, stop talking about them...

"Oh? How strange?"

After asking this question, Qi Lu wanted to slap himself! It was indeed impossible to suppress it. That damn curiosity!

Lin Chengfeng didn't know his psychological fluctuations at this time, but just shook his head in confusion and said, "It's hard to explain exactly what it is. It seems that there is a white lantern hanging outside the door of every household, and red paper is pasted on both sides of the courtyard gate."

Qi Lu: "???"

That's it?

Of course, he just complained in his heart and did not say it out.

Sure enough, how could the weird thing Lin Chengfeng said be so simple?

He just listened to his calm mind and continued: "It was already night at that time, and I wanted to find a place to stay for a rest and then go on the next day. But after knocking on everyone's door, no one opened it. Just like there was no living person in every family.

But when I knocked on the door, I clearly heard a noise coming from many people’s homes…”

In desperation, Lin Chengfeng had to spend one night in a broken house outside the town, and couldn't help but think about the strange things in the town.

I was in a daze and fell asleep at some point. It was just because I encountered such a strange thing just now, so I didn’t sleep very heavily and I remained three points of alert.

While asleep, he suddenly heard a noise outside. Lin Chengfeng woke up immediately, turned over and held the sword tightly in his hand. When he looked outside, there was a thick fog at some point.

Lin Chengfeng was shocked and hurried to the wall, squatted under the window, secretly raised his head and looked outward.

"The fog is too thick and I can't see clearly what's happening outside. If you reach out and grab it, you can almost feel the sticky texture.

I know that I must have encountered evil spirits, but there is no way to deal with those things.

There was a rustling sound in the fog, as if something was crawling rapidly on the ground, but I didn't dare to go out and see..."

Speaking of this, Lin Chengfeng couldn't help but tremble. At this time, the girls of Shenyu had already brought the wine and food. After they were arranged one by one, they looked at Qi Lu curiously, with their faces full of desire to speak but stopped. In the end, they didn't say anything, frowned and retreated with a blessed look.

After they left, Lin Chengfeng added a glass of wine to himself and drank it all in one go.

After drinking three or four drinks, his mood gradually eased a little, and his horrified eyes slightly returned to normal, but his tone was still hard to hide his fear:

"In addition to the rustling sound, I also heard...heard...the woman's singing. The sound was intermittent, very sharp, and the piercing ears hurt.

Especially,

Especially...

I clearly felt that the song was getting closer and closer to where I was hiding... Finally, it seemed to appear...

Behind me!!!”

Qi Lu was still drinking calmly. He had seen such strange things on weekdays. If he was easily frightened by the other party's clumsy exaggeration, how could he have the face to be a Taoist priest? He just dug a hole and buried himself in the calculation ball. The ancestor was so angry that he couldn't suppress the coffin board.

"And what? How did you survive?"

Qi Lu's voice was a little strange. When he looked at the other person, his eyes could not hide his sympathy. Then he sighed in his heart, it seemed that he was looking for trouble again.
