Chapter 117: Rainy Night

Jiang Luo had to sigh, Chi You is really sensitive.

Chi You's words sound strange at first, Lian Xue plays the maid of Chi family, it's not strange for her to know Chi You, it's strange if she doesn't. But on second thought, Jiang Luo understands that Chi You is trying to test her. But on second thought, Jiang Luo realized that Chi You was testing the waters.

He clearly felt that Lian Xue looked as if she knew him, but knew him in a different way.

A person from the world of mirrors, still so young, surprisingly perceived to such a degree, no wonder everyone said Chi You is the metaphysical world's unique genius. Jiang Luo was also a bit impressed with him, he calmly said, "You are the young master of Chi family, she is the maid of your family, of course she recognizes you."

"That's right," Chi You laughed, and didn't ask further, "there are cigarette vendors on Marble Street."

There were already cartons of cigarettes, and Chi You, the young master, paid for the most expensive one for Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo can hardly take his eyes off the street, the mirror world is so realistic in its details that Jiang Luo thinks he has traveled back in time.

People come and go, each with their own face and story, children scurry through the crowd, stray dogs hide in the corners. Newspapers were pasted on the yellowed walls, and there was nothing but shouting and noise, and the sound of a little song from the theater.

The streets smelled of everything, the fishy smells came together, and everything was real and lifelike.

The cigarette vendor offered a pack of matchboxes, and Jiang Luo pocketed the contents, telling Chi You, "I want to walk the street again."

He looked at everything around him, and thought to himself, "Whoever dragged them to the Mirror World must be extremely familiar with this era.

Perhaps add to that the fact that the people behind the curtain are unfamiliar with the context of the modern world.

Both the Chi family and Chi You exist in a modern setting, so if the people behind the movie wanted them to be part of the Chi family's story, there is no doubt that a modern setting would have been more realistic and convenient. However, the people behind the movie have gone around in circles and changed the setting of the Chi family and Chi You to the modern era. It is very likely that the people behind the movie were unable to create realistic modern details for such a difficult and unappealing act.

Who would be the one who could fulfill all these conditions at the same time?

Jiang Luo was thinking, when a raindrop fell from the sky and landed on his forehead. When he looked upwards, the rain went from sparse to dense, and the drops hit the dry ground, and were sucked up by the ground to the bottom, leaving a shallow trail.

It's raining.

Roadside vendors sharply collected things, held in the arms and ran: "It's raining! Make way!"

Pedestrians were hurrying in the rain, scattering from east to west, north to south. Jiang Luo looked back, they had already reached the end of the road without realizing it, and were so far away from the Chi family that they couldn't go back in a short time, unless they wanted to get soaked to the bone in the rain.

While wondering what to do, Jiang Luo's hand was suddenly grabbed, and Chi You dragged him violently towards the east.

The beads of rain fell harder and harder, and when the two of them were mostly drenched, Chi You took Jiang Luo and ran into a four-cornered pavilion.

Smoke and rain covered the surrounding area with a layer of white mist, and the crackling sound of rain resounded from the top of the gazebo. Next to the pavilion there is a pear tree, the pink and white petals were knocked down pathetically, falling to the ground and mixing with the mud and dust.

Jiang Luo carefully placed the cigarette case and matches he was nursing in his arms on the seat. He began to pat the rainwater on his body, his front and back were soaked to the bone, even his shoes.

Jiang Luo twisted a handful of his hair, then turned his head to look at Chi You with a smile on his face, "Young Master Chi, you said that you've been sick for a few years, and that you haven't gotten better off and on. But I can see that the speed you ran all the way here was not slow at all, that place was less than a mile from here just now, and you didn't even take a breath."

Chi You said unhurriedly, "Although I have not gotten better from my illness off and on, my body is not that bad. Not to mention that in this line of work, the body is even more important."

"Which line?"

Chi You couldn't help but laugh, "How come you don't know anything."

"In our line of work, of course, we are ......," he gave an inexplicable smile, "the gods and goddesses who catch ghosts and do things."

Jiang Luo looked at him and remembered the three moles around his waist.

The young Chi You is much better to deal with than the dangerous and crazy Chi You later on. Jiang Luo might be able to get the secret of the three moles out of him.

Chi You suddenly said, "Tomorrow will be the third day of your marriage, you should return to the door."

He had expected Jiang Luo to be very happy, after all, being able to escape from the Chi family, even if it was only for a day, was a rare opportunity for an ordinary person like Jiang Luo to relax. However, Jiang Luo was plainly indifferent, and there was even a bit of indifference between her eyebrows, "Really."

Chi You had some interest, "I'll also accompany you to Jiang's house, just to meet the in-laws."

Jiang Luo sneered, "In-laws?"

He sneered and stopped talking.

Soon the spring rain became much lighter, but there was no sign of it ending. Although the pavilion was able to block the rain, it could not block the cold wind coming from all sides. Jiang Luo took advantage of the lighter rain and said, "Run back while it's here."

Chi You had no objections, "Good."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Luo took the lead and ran out into the rain, not even giving Chi You a chance to cushion himself before he was already ten meters away.

His back grew hazy amidst the green rain.

Chi You looked at the rain and then at the filthy puddles on the ground. Disgust flashed across his face and he ran after it.

He ran into the rain much later, but soon caught up with Jiang Luo's rear.

Chi You did not intend to run in front of Jiang Luo, but rather followed him, looking at him inquisitively and curiously.

At first, Chi You was simply looking at Jiang Luo's bone structure, wondering what was so strange about him. But as the rain gradually drenched Jiang Luo's clothes, the thin shirt fit his body, and his lean and tight waistline and long straight legs became more and more obvious as he ran.

His attention was diverted slightly.

The charms of youth were manifested to the fullest extent. The charming scent that the young man had never known before appeared and collected subtly in the midst of the heavy rain, it was like a fruit rotting in the corner, no one knew where it was ripe and rotten and red, but there was a sweet and greasy flavor floating in the dark.

A man's waist, his thighs, it's the flattest of things.

There were no plump lines or cozy softness. Yet at this moment, strangely sexy charm.

Chi You paused and moved away.

Ten minutes later.

The two of them returned to the Chi family, thoroughly soaked, and walked down the corridor to their room. Jiang Luo was walking side by side with Chi You, his head tilted back, his hands lazily tying up his dripping black hair from the back of his neck upwards, when he suddenly looked sideways at Chi You, "Why are you looking at me?"

Chi You locked eyes with him, and he seemed to be strangely puzzled by something as well.

Jiang Luo, however, felt that Chi You's gaze was vaguely familiar, he had seen this kind of look in the eyes of the grown-up Chi You before. Jiang Luo was a bit skeptical and curious, he asked directly, "What are you thinking?"

Chi You finally withdrew her eyes, but her lips lifted at the corners, "We should go take a shower or we'll catch a cold."

Jiang Luo: "......"

That's very perfunctory of you.

When Jiang Luo came out of the bath, he did not see Chi You in the room, and he asked the maid, "Where is Chi You?"

The maid said, "The young master had something to go out and asked me to tell you that he will be back in the evening."

Jiang Luo looked at the gloomy rainy day outside the house, going out in this kind of weather?

He frowned.

*

While Jiang Luo was resting, several others dressed as maids and boys were lazing around.

It rained and a lot of work couldn't be done, which gave a few of the Qin Yun guys a real gasp.

In the kitchen, Lian Bing and Duanzi are hiding, moving a stool to sit by the door to watch the rain. The kitchen supervisor is not used to their appearance, and said with a foul face: "You two, hurry up to take these dirty things out of the mansion and throw them away, not just a little rain, take the wages here just to eat and not to do?"

This steward couldn't stop talking when he opened his mouth, and by the end of the day, Lian Bing and Duanzi had a headache when they saw him coming. The two of them got up in a hurry to pack up the garbage and walked towards the back door in the rain.

It's only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky is dark as if it's the middle of the night. Lian Bing is strong, he took the lead in throwing out the bags of garbage, and when he turned back to help Duanzi, Duanzi shook his head woefully, "You go back first, my bag of garbage is dirty, and there's soup and water in it, and it's already dirtying my clothes, so don't get you dirty, I'll be fine alone. "

Lian Bing also smelled the rancid odor on him, he looked at Duanzi sympathetically, "Then I'll go back first ah."

After Lian Bing left, Duanzi pulled the garbage hard toward the door. But the bag of garbage was getting heavier and heavier in the heavy rain, and his hair was covering his eyes. With great difficulty, Duanzi pulled the garbage out of the door, and he struggled to throw the bag of garbage into the garbage heap, but along with the garbage, there were also his two bloody arms.

Duanzi's eyes abruptly widened as he turned pale and looked in horror at the two arms that had just been dragging the trash.

Turns out it's not the junk that's getting heavier, it's the arms that are being ripped off and getting less and less strong.

Duanzi's voice was shaking, his lips were wide open and he couldn't even scream. He staggered back a step, but suddenly felt something behind him and cowering, he turned his head to look.

Pupils suddenly tightened.

......

Lian Bing long waited for Duanzi did not come back, and went out to look for him again. But there were only two candles in the whole room, he took one out and looked at the road by the dull candlelight of the candle, "Duanzi?"

"Duanzi? Where are you?"

Lian Bing shouted around but found nothing. He had to go back to his room and waited for Duanzi to come back in a puzzled manner. But while waiting, Lian Bing fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the maids came out to throw out the garbage. This morning's rain finally stopped, the maids whispered, throwing the dirty things in their hands one by one to the top, I don't know who threw a heavy thing, making the other bags of garbage abruptly rolled down from the top, one of the black garbage rolled down to the feet of one of the maids, she casually glanced at it, and was about to curse "bad luck", but she suddenly looked stiff. She casually looked at it, and just wanted to curse "bad luck", but suddenly her expression froze.

She stiffened and turned her head, looking down at her feet once more. The dirty stagnant water had been slightly stained red with blood, and the head wrapped in black hair was clearly Duanzi's, his eyes white, dead protruding eyes on the verge of falling out of their sockets, maintaining the last vestiges of his fearful demeanor.

Maid: "......"

"- Ahhhhhhhh!"
