Taking a few steps back, I stood in front of the ancient village house and looked carefully.
The house was very old and had no atmosphere of modern architecture at all.
There was a large plaque hanging above the door.
The wood was of high quality, but there was no writing on it.
A manor house without a name, I raised my eyebrows, it was not in line with the behavior of a low-key and elegant person these days.
Generally speaking, you have to choose an elegant name to show your extraordinary taste.
Turning around, I saw the big banyan tree standing on the left, looking rich green and full of vitality.
Walking over, standing under the tree and looking up, the fragments of sunlight cast through the complex leaves and formed a shadow on the ground.
I looked down and saw that I had no shadow.
There was a thump in my head, and I had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next second the shade moved, and the branches of the big banyan tree quickly stretched and surrounded me.
Before I had time to call for help, I lost consciousness again.
There was the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and my nose trembled slightly.
I finally opened my eyes.
I found myself lying on the bluestone floor, looking at the empty streets on both sides.
The houses looked like the old style of the Republic of China.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and scraps of paper flew up from the ground.
One of them stuck to my face.
I took it off and took a closer look.
It turned out to be paper money.
Large circles, yellow wrinkled paper, and more paper money blew towards me in a daze.
I quickly stood up to hide, and when I looked up I saw five or six braziers in the middle of the road, burning paper money and folded gold ingots.
What was going on?
There are many shops among the houses on both sides, but when I looked over, there was a layer of dust on the plaque, and I was afraid it had been closed for some time.
This place is depressed and deserted, and most importantly, it has no popularity at all.
There is no breath of life.
Am I dead No way With this question in my mind, I walked on the deserted street.
The weather was getting colder and the autumn wind was bleak.
The short-sleeved suit I was wearing was a little thin.
My exposed arms and ankles couldn't block the chill, and I couldn't help but sneeze.
"Haqiu" Rubbing his nose, he noticed from the corner of his eye a girl wearing a blue school uniform walking in front of her.
She had short ear-length hair.
There is a pearl clip in her hair.
The black skirt reaches to the knees, white socks and black cloth shoes on the feet.
This outfit instantly reminded me of Ye Minglang.
Her outfit was clearly the most common female student outfit during the Republic of China.
I kept staring at her, she was very young.
A little younger than me, definitely no more than twenty years old.
She walked from the front, and when she reached a certain place, she went back along the same path, back and forth.
Over and over again, I observed it for a while.
Finally he moved closer to her.
"Hello," I said cautiously, "Are you from here?"
The girl paused and turned to look at me.
Her complexion is as white as jade, and even the dry autumn air cannot wipe away the rosy brilliance on her cheeks.
Looking at her makes her heart calm.

Then she smiled.
"My name is Cao Shuhui, a student in Class 2 of Xinxin Girls' School."
I was stunned for a moment.
He hurriedly introduced himself: "Oh, hello, my name is Ning Huan.
I am from out of town.
I want to ask you."
I was under a banyan tree before being brought to this space, so I guessed that the banyan tree must be the medium connecting the two worlds.
I hope to get useful information from Cao Shuhui.
Unexpectedly, before I could ask, she frowned slightly, as if there was a mist of sadness gathering in her eyebrows, and asked leisurely: "Have you seen Mingzhi?
I'm waiting for him."
I shook my head: "I'm sorry, I don't know him.
By the way, where are the trees around here?"
The words were interrupted by her again.
She turned around and left slowly like a sad lone goose, muttering: "Mingzhi, where are you?
I have been waiting for you for a long, long time."
"Hey, wait a minute."
I chased after her without giving up, and just when I was about to touch her arm, a strong wind blew from the ground.
The sound of the wind captivated my sight.
When the surroundings calmed down and I opened my eyes, The streets were empty again.
Cao Shuhui, a girl from the Republic of China, disappeared.
I was alone again on the street.
Wait, there was a loud sound of people coming from somewhere.
I listened carefully and ran towards the source of the sound.
I didn't stop until I was in front of a high-end club.
It’s strange that this store suddenly appeared when it didn’t exist just now.
I glanced around suspiciously, and it was no longer as depressed as before.
The vendors were smiling one by one, greeting the passers-by.
Then I looked at the people coming and going on the street, all kinds of men and women wearing old-fashioned clothes.
Walking.
Ring ring ring, the sound of a bicycle bell ringing.
"Hey, please give me some space."
Someone shouted from behind.
When I turned around, I saw a young boy in a Chinese tunic suit riding a bicycle and took a step back.
The boy was still carrying a satchel and smiled like a big boy: "Thank you."
"No need."
I reacted a little slower, "Yes."
Watching his back go away, I felt a sense of familiarity inexplicably.
I seem to have seen him somewhere.
After searching, I was sure that there was no clue about this person in my mind. strangeness.
I tilted my head and walked a few steps to the side.
As I walked, I looked at the lively and peaceful people on the road, and unknowingly walked into a remote alley.
The narrow alley has moss on the walls on both sides.
It must have been abandoned for a long time.
I don't think there will be trees here.
I shook my head and turned around to leave, but a few big men appeared out of nowhere and blocked the road at the entrance of the alley.

The leading bald man had a tattoo of a clawed dragon on one side of his neck.
He showed his teeth and claws, looking particularly ferocious.
My scalp was numb, my feet moved slowly, and I looked at them warily: "I'm sorry, I want to go out, please give way."
The big men looked at each other and smiled.
Their tattooed bald faces sneered, and they made a gesture forward.
The few people behind me immediately ran towards me.
I was so excited that I turned around and ran away.
Unexpectedly, I met another skinny guy at the corner.
A man, he took the opportunity to chop his hand.
Damn it, why am I so unlucky?
His vision was gray and he fell into a complete coma.
When I woke up, my hands and feet were tied and thrown on a broken bed.
The bedding was damp and moldy.
When I turned around, I could see spots of mold.
The pain in the back of my neck made me grin.
There were footsteps outside, "Where's that girl?"
"I'm still fainting.
Why does the boss say whether to accept it or not?"
"Well, he said that this girl is pretty, so he gave her three dollars.
When I get the money, I'll go have some fun first."
The man laughed sinisterly, indescribably ambiguous.
Something sounded wrong to me.
Could it be that they sold me?
As soon as I got nervous, I started to move, twisting hard on the bed a few times.
I rolled off the bed without paying attention, and my body hit the ground and made a lot of noise.
"What voice is the girl inside?"
"You heard wrong.
I went to see her just now.
She was still unconscious.
Hey.
I told you to keep your thoughts to yourself.
We can't contaminate the goods you sell, otherwise we will break the rules on the road."
The man snorted unwillingly.
After a while, the sounds of footsteps and conversations gradually faded away.
With my face on the ground, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and rolled over onto my back.
But he was so frightened by the scene on the ceiling that his heart beat rapidly.
Against a black background, a woman wearing a red robe spreads her limbs.
Like a capital X, she lay just like that on the ceiling, blood dripping down drop by drop, falling coldly on my face.
My lips trembled a few times, and then I saw the woman's upturned eyes blink a few times, and she slowly raised her head.
Black hair hung down from both sides like splashes of ink, and her cherry lips as bright as peony moved.
She opened her mouth and said a few words: "Save Mingzhi" and suddenly tilted her head.
My body lost its support and fell completely from above.
I was so scared that I screamed.
"ah"
"Who's in there?"

came a clear female voice, and then the door was opened.
Someone lit a kerosene lamp and entered the room.
The light shone on me, but I still refused to open my eyes.
"Sister Yinyin, she" "Are you okay?
Hey, wake up."
A slightly cold finger touched my face and patted it gently a few times.
The breath was similar.
I smelled the fresh orchid smell on her body, and my sense and courage returned.
There is a scent, and I remember those ghosts only have the smell of decay.
This person is not a ghost.
I tried to open my eyes, and what I saw was a carefully retouched face, with an oval face, red phoenix eyes, and raised thin eyebrows.
He was wearing a purple slim-fitting cheongsam and kneeling next to me.
His exquisite figure was evident.
I murmured and asked: "Who are you?"
The woman raised her brows, revealing a bit of coquettishness, and the little girl next to her spoke: "My master saved you, and he hasn't asked you anything yet.
Fortunately, you actually asked about it."
The little girl was about to say something, but the woman interrupted her: "Xiao Tao.
Go find some scissors."
Xiaotao stopped talking, sighed, and searched the room.
"My surname is Xu, Xu Yinyin."
She smiled at me, lifted me up from the ground and leaned in front of her, and asked Xiaotao to cut the rope that tied my hands from behind, "You were abducted by Baldhead and the others, right?"
” I nodded immediately as I was bald: "Yes, the leader is bald and has tattoos."
I rubbed my red and swollen wrist and looked at the darkness outside, "Where is this?"
"You don't know" Xiao Tao couldn't help but interrupt, "This is the Xiangge Club, and my mistress is the top girl, known as Xiang Niangzi Feng Yin Yin."
Xiao Tao was very proud.
However, Yinyin pulled her face and scolded: "If you want to talk too much, go and clean up a room in my yard.
This one" she looked at me with a questioning expression.
I quickly said: "Ning Huan, my name is Ning Huan."
Yinyin smiled, and then told Xiaotao: "Miss Ning will stay at my place today, go quickly."
Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "But, where is the boss?"
Yinyin's eyes were slightly cold, and her tone was a little tougher: "Although the world is in chaos now, it's not so chaotic that you can just kidnap a decent girl on the street.
Boss, I'll go back and explain myself.
Just listen to me and go get her."
The room is tidied.”
Xiaotao could only retreat without hesitation.
About half an hour later, Xiaotao finished cleaning up and came back to life.
I had almost rested and followed them into Xu Yinyin's yard.
Her courtyard was much more gorgeous than the shabby courtyard where I was imprisoned, and the various furnishings in the room were filled with Western goods, which should have been very valuable in this era.
Xiao Tao said that Xu Yinyin was the top name in the club and seemed to be highly valued by the boss.
However, what I care more about are the few words saved Mingzhi that the red-robed woman on the ceiling said in the room earlier.
If I remember correctly, Cao Shuhui, a girl from the Republic of China, also said this name, Mingzhi, Mingzhi, who is this person and what does it have to do with me coming here?
So many questions, but no way to start.
"Where is Miss Ning from?"
Xu Yinyin stood in front of the bed curtain, with slender hands.
When she slid across the bed curtain, she revealed the cardamom on her nails.

There was a pattern hollowed out in the middle of the bright red, which was very trendy.
My eyes flashed, and the pattern seemed to be an orchid.
"Oh, I'm from Longcheng."
I didn't lie, I just skipped the year.
Our country is vast, and I don’t expect Xu Yinyin to be proficient in geography.
I just need to give her a place name to deal with it.
Sure enough, Xu Yinyin nodded: "I've never been to Dragon City."
She smiled, with a touch of loneliness appearing on her beautiful face, "However, I have a younger brother who likes to travel around.
I'll ask him about it next time he writes.
Ask him if he has ever been to Miss Ning’s hometown.”
Brother, I moved my eyebrows and subconsciously asked: "Who is your brother?"
Xu Yinyin's smile became warm: "Mingzhi, my brother's name is Xu Mingzhi."
Why can't I believe my ears?
Mingzhi is not the person Cao Shuhui is looking for, etc.
I quickly stood up and walked to Xu Yinyin to look at her carefully.
Like, so similar.
If the powder on her face were a little more white, and the pure color was brighter red, this Xu Yinyin would be exactly the same as the woman in the big red robe on the ceiling.
I clicked my tongue at this point and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Xu Yinyin felt uncomfortable being stared at by me.
She reached out and moved her hair and cheongsam a few times, and asked me strangely: "What's wrong with me?
Is there something wrong with me?"
All beauties are concerned about their appearance, so she immediately walked to the dressing table in the room and arranged it carefully.
Appearance.
I opened my mouth and wanted to ask her: "Miss Xu, where is your brother?"
I always felt that there was an important connection between Cao Shuhui, Xu Yinyin, and Xu Mingzhi.
Maybe I could go back if I found this connection.
Xu Yinyin put on her earrings again and then turned her head: "Mingzhi, he went to study in other provinces.
The last communication was half a month ago.
Now," she smiled fondly, "maybe he has changed places again.
This kid can't be idle.
I love running around."
"Then can you tell me his specific location or contact information?"
Xu Yinyin became suspicious, frowned and asked: "Why?"
Her phoenix eyes were already sharp, and looking at me straight like this made me feel guilty for no reason.
Suppressing my guilty conscience, I said calmly: "That's right, I also like to travel, and it's not easy to meet someone with the same interests, so I want to get to know him better."
Xu Yinyin's expression relaxed a lot, and she laughed briskly: "With all due respect, Miss Ning is a step too late.
My brother Mingzhi has someone he likes.
Last time he praised Miss Cao so much in his letter that she was like nothing in heaven or earth." , I, as a sister, would be jealous.”
"You misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
Wait, Miss Cao I asked in a low voice: "Is your brother Ms.
Cao's full name Cao Shuhui?"
It couldn't be such a coincidence.
It seemed that something had been arranged
