Underworld messenger

Rong Jing got up to help the old woman straighten the cart, and Ru Ye put the wrapped fried chestnuts in sugar into his arms, and was about to thank him, when suddenly there was a gust of wind in his ears, and he opened his eyes and returned to the Liangtong Bridge.

Ru also touched the paper bag in his arms and sighed, but he didn't have time to thank Rong Jing properly, and he didn't know if there would be a chance to meet him next time, if he saw that he disappeared, would he blame him for leaving without saying goodbye.

He returned to Liangtong Division with a bag of fried chestnuts in sugar, and the boy was sitting at the table waiting for him.

Ru also handed him the paper bag, "The fried chestnuts you want."

The young man took the paper bag, "Thank you, sir, did the old lady receive the elixir?"

Ru also knew what he wanted to ask, and said softly, "The old lady still misses you, ask me how you are doing, and whether you have been beaten again..."

The boy clutched the paper bag nervously, and Ruya continued, "I told her that you are doing well and will never be beaten again."

Only then did he loosen his fingers, "My stepmother thought I was a loser all day long, and she wouldn't let me go to the old woman. After the last beating, she locked me in the woodshed. I was hungry and in pain. Died there."

The young man put on a smile again, "What I thought before I died was, if only I could eat the old lady's sugar-fried chestnuts again."

Holding the paper bag, he bowed deeply to Ru Ye, "Thank you sir for helping me."

Ru also said with a smile, "It's a little effort."

The young man left the Liangtong Department with fried chestnuts in sugar, and Ru also sat behind the table and wrote his story carefully on the paper. As he wrote, a question arose. The boy was also a ghost messenger of the Liangtong Department before. , Why didn't I go to the old woman to buy chestnuts when I went to Yangjian?

Before he could figure it out, another slender man walked into the Liangtong Department, dressed in brightly colored clothes, with a bit of coquettish eyes and brows, Ru Ye felt more and more like... like a young lady.

The man is really a little waiter, he sits at the table and shakes his waist and limbs to compete with the female ghost.

Under the slender eyebrows is a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking at Ru Ye "with affection", "Master Guicha—"

If you have seen a female ghost before, you have some experience with Shang Xiaoguan, "Just call me Mr. Wenren, does this young man want to deliver a letter?"

Xiao Guan pursed his lips and smiled, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be full of water when he smiled, Ru also guessed that he was probably a celebrity before his death.

"I want to ask sir to help me see someone..." Xiao Guan slightly opened his collar and pulled out a red rope from his neck. A jade pendant was tied under the rope. It was carved with two magpies standing on a branch of plum blossom. He took the jade pendant Take it off and hand it to Ru Ye, "I want sir to show me the owner of this jade pendant..."

Ruo also took the jade pendant and felt cold to the touch, Xiao Guan explained the origin of the jade pendant.

He is also from Jinling City, but he is the later Jinling City. When he was young, he was sold into the red hall by human traffickers. He started receiving guests at the age of 15, and had to deal with benefactors in order to make a living.

Xiao Guan looked at Yupei and said with a smile unknowingly, "Who knows that I met a fool later, probably some rich and powerful official got into a dispute with his concubine, and was made into a dementia, and spent all day following him in the back alley. Beggars snatch food, I saw him pitiful, so I quietly took him in."

When he said this, he glanced at him, and seeing that the other party showed no contempt, he continued, "Sir, don't laugh at me for being stupid, I probably got infected by this fool, and spent the money I saved to redeem myself on him." On his body, several doctors were invited to look at his head, and after three months of treatment, he finally learned not to grab leftovers..."

If you have been listening patiently, Xiao Guan lowered his eyes and suddenly laughed at himself, "Guess what, he, a fool, didn't know where he heard it, and even said that he wanted to marry me. We are both men, how can we worship the world openly?" ..."

When he looked up, there was a flash of water in his eyes, Ru also touched that there was no handkerchief on his body, but the young man raised his finger and pressed the corner of his eye, "Sir, don't blame me, I just remembered why he is so stupid, he has nothing on him." , only a pair of jade pendants, he only remembered that they were left to him by his mother, and said that he would give them to her when he met his sweetheart, but this fool gave one of them to me..."

Ru also took a look at the fineness of the jade pendant, the plum blossom was blood red, it was worth a lot of money at first glance.

"Later, the steward of the red hall secretly sold me to a rich man for half a year. I didn't know how many things I did to please the guests. I just had to endure it for half a year. But I saw that this jade pendant only had him in its mind and refused to say anything. Serving the rich man who threw me into the lake in a fit of anger..."

Ru also felt a little sore in his heart, as if he had experienced it himself, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Xiao Guan.

Xiao Guan said, "I regretted it after I died. Who will take care of that idiot after my death... So I want to trouble my husband to help me see how this idiot is doing now..."

Ru also thought about it and asked, "Does he have a name?"

Xiaowan smiled, "I'll just call him a fool. No one remembers his name, but I've only been dead for a year, so there must be people around who remember this fool."

Ru also put away the jade pendant, got up and said, "I'll go and see it for you."

The young man said, "Thank you sir."

Ru also went to Liangtong Bridge and went to Jinling City with "All wishes come true".

When I opened my eyes again, I stood in an alley, and if I walked out of the alley to a busy street, Jinling City was much more prosperous than Xiangnan Town.

He walked around the street, and asked a gouache peddler next to him where the Red Pavilion was.

The peddler showed him the way, but said that the red restaurant was long gone, and someone bought it and changed it to a restaurant half a year ago.

Ruo also said thank you, then walked towards the direction he pointed, and found it after crossing two long streets.
