Chapter 333 Weird

"This discovery is terrible. I quickly followed, but I didn't dare to get too close." Qian San said.

He is willing to do things for Miss Jiang Si, but if he encounters danger and may lose his life, that is not acceptable.What's more, Miss Jiang Si herself said that life is the most important thing in everything.

"I saw them running to the Earth Temple outside Gusu City in the middle of the night." Having said this, Qian San paused and said a few more words, "I asked someone to inquire about the Temple of the Earth during the day yesterday. The origin, I heard that this land temple was built by an unknown generation of emperors in the previous dynasty. It was prosperous in the past, but it soon declined. For many years, some beggars lived there as a safe haven. But now Da Zhou, this earth temple doesn’t even house beggars.”

When Jiang Shaoyan heard this, she raised her eyelids and said, "Huh?"

A beggar who regards the sky as his seat and the ground as his seat can take shelter from the wind and rain even if the temple on the earth is dilapidated, but such an unowned shelter from the wind and rain actually wants to do it if he doesn’t want it?

"I heard that the Earth Temple is haunted by ghosts." Qian San explained to Jiang Shaoyan, "Anyway, I didn't dare to scare the snake, and I only walked around the Earth Temple yesterday and didn't go in."

Although this may not mean that Qian San cherishes his life, there is some truth in it. Jiang Shaoyan nodded, "Mmm", and listened to Qian San's continuation.

"But just looking at it from the outside, the earth temple is really dilapidated," Qian San said, pointing to the surroundings, and said, "Where is this place? Gusu City! A well-known elegant city in Jiangnan Road."

The generation of Jiangnan Road was rich and prosperous, and Gusu City is also somewhat famous in Jiangnan Road. The houses in the city are magnificent, and the streets in the city are donated by wealthy households every year to repair them.

"If such a dilapidated earth temple is to be directly shoveled, or repaired and rebuilt, Gusu City does not lack the money." Qian San said, "If it is to stand here and not demolished or repaired, it is not the same as Gusu. Sioux City doesn't match!"

This is not the matter of Wu Youcai, the acting county magistrate of Gusu today, nor the matter of the former Gusu magistrate who suffered crimes, but several Gusu magistrates, who even stood here in the previous dynasty.

"The rumors from the people nearby are very mysterious. I walked around and asked the people around. They all said that since I was a child, I was told by adults that it is haunted and that people will die. People with inside information should be passed down from generation to generation." Qian San said, "On weekdays, there are refugees going in to rest their feet during the day, but there are very few people at night..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl interrupted him: "How do they know that refugees only go in during the day, not at night?"

Refugees have nowhere to live, and it seems that dilapidated temples like this usually rest for several months and half a year. How can anyone stay in the day and night?
"Because the Earth Temple is not on the side of the road, but it is not remote." Qian San also asked this question before, so he explained, "There are always people passing by at night, and it is said that no one has ever seen it inside. Someone."

Because of this, the common people thought that "refugees don't go in at night" can't be wrong, but the girl thought about it, and suddenly asked Qian San: "Apart from such absurd theory of haunting, is there any other theory about this earth temple?"

Qian San shook his head, and said, "Maybe I haven't asked enough, anyway... I haven't heard anything else."

When the girl heard this, she suddenly raised her eyelids and asked Qian San: "Can you find those refugees who go in during the day?"

Qian Santing, who was swallowing his saliva, was taken aback. After a long pause, he instinctively said, "This... I don't know. Besides, who would remember a stranger..."

In the middle of speaking, Qian San suddenly fell silent.

Refugees, what are refugees?Nowhere to live, no one knows where to go.For a refugee who has never met before, there are only occasional good-hearted people who will give some porridge and noodles, but no one will deliberately remember a refugee.If so...

The girl said: "That being said, if these refugees who went in during the day suddenly disappeared, no one would remember it. Moreover, because the refugees are wandering around, even if someone remembers this refugee by chance, he will not be forgotten if he disappears suddenly. Some people will report to the officials, thinking that they have wandered elsewhere?"

Jiangnan Road is rich and prosperous, no matter which city you go to, you won't be able to survive.

These words... Qian Santing's expression was full of surprise, and after a moment's pause, his face turned pale, and he murmured: "What Miss Jiang Si said is not impossible."

It is a bit unreasonable for the refugees to choose to enter during the day and not enter at night.To put it bluntly, people cherish their lives. The refugees have no food and face the risk of starvation and freezing to death all the time. At night, they should stay in temples and other places. How could they stay in the daytime and disappear at night? ?

Of course he could understand what Miss Jiang Si said: Someone killed these refugees, and the refugees who were still in the temple during the day were killed at night. Although this may be scary to think about, it is a common explanation. of.

A dilapidated temple is deserted at night, and it is not impossible to be rumored to be haunted.

Of course, this guess is too unbelievable, it may not be right, after all, what is the purpose of killing these people who have entered the temple for no reason?
Also, why did Xiu'er's father and brother go to that temple in the middle of the night?Why didn't these two people die?Qian San's mind was full of doubts.

What he originally thought was that Xiu'er was held in the hands of his father and brother because of a good relationship, or a child left behind when he was young and ignorant.It's not that he said, he's not a good guy either, a frequent visitor to the brothel, it seems that there are not a few brothel ladies who entered Huayuechang because their children were threatened by their families.

But thinking about it now, it doesn't seem like a big deal.After all, if it's a good friend or something, Xiu'er has been sold for more than 20 years, and the good friends are not young anymore, so they don't have to rely on this pair of gambling brothers anymore.

After all, for those who have relatives of gambling ghosts, it is obvious that they can live better without such relatives of gambling ghosts.

Qian San thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only gesture to Jiang Shaoyan and said: "The package that Xiuer's father and brother carry is only normal size, but I don't know what is inside."

After all, he didn't look closely.

But even though he didn't know what was in the package, after Xiu'er's father and brother came out, he saw the money bag in the hands of Xiu'er's father and brother.

"It's two heavy bags of silver." Qian San said, "I don't know the exact amount, but judging by the size of the money bag, this is probably how Xiu'er's father and brother got their money."

Is it the money that Xiu'er gave to her father and brother through this method?Or was it given by someone else?

Originally, he claimed to be well-informed and thought that this was just a story about a brothel lady secretly helping her father and brother, but after a closer look, he felt that things should not be so simple.

Just as he was thinking, the girl suddenly said, "How often does Xiu'er father and brother take a bath?"

ha?What is this strange question?Qian San was stunned.
