incense as a medium

Chapter 1
The heat is dense, and the skin is as smooth as fat.

Her long black hair was coiled up and fixed with a mahogany hairpin. Liu Bailu stretched out her hand to lick a strand of wet hair hanging from her ear, took a deep breath, and buried her face in the water.

It wasn't until she was almost out of breath that she raised her head and reached out to touch the handkerchief beside the tub.

No?

Liu Bailu's back stiffened, she closed her eyes tightly and did not dare to open her eyes, the smell of saponin was suddenly dispelled by something, she subconsciously shrugged her nose, it was the familiar smell of blood.

Someone is in!
A drop of water slid down her forehead and fell into the water. She clutched the edge of the tub tightly with her hand, her thoughts turned sharply.

Call?Or not?

No, if the other party is a desperado, and I die at home like this, my reputation will be ruined, and I will die cleanly, but my parents will be stabbed in the back.

But if it is called, the houses in Lihua Lane are compact and small, and everything is silent at this moment, alarming the neighbors, and destroying his reputation as well!
"Cuckoo."

While Liu Bailu was thinking, she only heard a slight sound from the rear window, followed by a gust of cold wind blowing in. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, only to see the window swaying non-stop, occasionally snowflakes flew in, she Standing up from the tub in surprise.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

Shuang Jiang, who was working outside, heard the movement and asked.

"It's alright, just do your thing."

Liu Bailu subconsciously replied directly.After finishing speaking, I wanted to come out to get dressed, only to realize that the handkerchief I used to wipe my body had been taken away. Fortunately, it was just a large piece of white cotton cloth without any embroidery.

She thought for a while, got up and picked up the dirty clothes and pants that she had changed, wiped them carelessly, reached for the clean clothes, and suddenly found some blood stains on the green bellyband on the top, she suddenly remembered that she just smelled There was a smell of blood, and he quickly lowered his head to look at the ground, and found two drops of blood near the bathtub.

She hugged her clothes and went to the window, opened the window, the cold wind howling outside the window, thick snow piled up from the sidewalk to the window, on the snowdrift in front of the window, a large drop of blood penetrated the snow layer and landed on the ground On the bottom snow layer, even though the sky was gloomy, the red blood stains were particularly shocking due to the white snow.

Liu Bailu shivered, turned around and ran to the tub, scooped up a ladle of water, opened the window again, and poured water onto the snowdrift.

She seemed to hear a slight "thrilling" sound, as if Yuniang poured boiling oil into a bowl of red chili peppers, and she was like the chili pepper, which turned red and black after being scalded.

A gust of wind blew, and Liu Bailu let go of her hand suddenly, and slid down to the ground against the wall. The cold and rough bricks scratched her smooth and tender skin, and she remembered that she was not wearing anything until she was in pain.

Turning around to pick up the clothes, I heard a burst of shouting outside, followed by chaotic footsteps and shouting.

She was puzzled, but quickly put on the clothes in her hands. The apron was dirty and could no longer be worn. She subconsciously threw the apron into the pile of dirty clothes and hid it. On the dripping blood.

"clack!"

There was a light sound from the window that had just been closed, and Liu Bailu's hair stood on end, and the water scoop fell to the ground with a "boom", and she quickly crouched down hugging her clothes.

The sound outside is getting closer and closer, but I can't hear the sound of Shuang Jiang. Could it be that he has gone out?When?
Liu Bailu squatted on the ground without moving, his eyes fixed on the jacket that was two steps away from him.

"cough!"

A muffled cough came from behind, and Liu Bailu realized that the man was behind her, so she hugged her clothes tightly and turned around. The front was completely covered by her clothes, and only a pair of lotus root arms were exposed to support her shoulders. Putting on her clothes, she moved back quietly, and within a few moments, she bumped into the table behind her. She only heard a "ding", and she didn't know what had been knocked over. The fresh and elegant jasmine fragrance instantly filled the room. The faint smell of blood was dispelled.

"help me."

Qi Peiyun pressed his shoulders, cold sweat dripped down his forehead one by one.

Liu Bailu calmed down seeing his panic, this person went back and forth, and there was another person outside, presumably they wanted to arrest this person.Since he wants to speak out to help, naturally it will not be disadvantageous to him.She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Let me put on my clothes."

Qi Peiyun listened attentively to the movement outside, then looked at Liu Bailu who was shaking in front of him, tried his best to walk to the side of the bathtub and turned over and fell in. Sitting down on the small seat, he said: "No need, you come in."

"what!"

Liu Bailu grabbed the hem of his clothes and raised his head suddenly, staring at the pale Qi Peiyun in the bathtub.

"Miss, miss, have you finished your bath?" Shuang Jiang pushed the door open, put something outside, and said: "The officers and soldiers are searching for bandits, and they are coming to our house soon, miss, have you dressed yet?"

Liu Bailu didn't like to be waited upon by bathers, and Shuang Jiang didn't dare to come in without orders.

But can she call someone in at this time?
No, because Qi Peiyun in the bathtub flashed a gleaming dagger.

Liu Bailu shook his head, and said loudly: "I'm getting better soon, you, bring me a stack of snacks."

eat dessert?
Shuang Jiang was a little puzzled, life in the mansion is not easy now, the young lady has always been used to thrift, and it is rare for her to ask for snacks in the middle of the night, but even so, she still agreed to close the door and go out.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Qi Peiyun put away the dagger and shouted to Liu Bailu: "Come in quickly! Cover me up and I'll leave."

No matter how calm Liu Bailu is, she can't help blushing and turning pale. Sharing a bathtub with a man?In any case, my innocence is ruined!
Qi Peiyun looked at Liu Bailu with a sneer, and said in a low voice: "If you come in, cover it for me. As soon as the officers and soldiers leave, I will leave immediately. God knows this matter. You know me. If you don't come in, I will leave." It's impossible to hide now, if someone searches in..."

The meaning behind Qi Peiyun's words is very clear, anyway, her reputation is ruined here today.Liu Bailu clenched her lips, and finally stepped into the tub, covering herself tightly, and squatted down slowly facing him. There was a small seat in the tub, but it was given by Qi Peiyun. Accounted for, she can only do so.

The courtyard door was slammed, and Qi Peiyun stared at the plain white obscene clothes that were quickly soaked in water, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you need to wear clothes when you take a shower?"

Liu Bailu clutched his clothes tightly to cover his body, stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Those people may not come in, but even if they do, I have time to put them down."

Qi Peiyun smiled, leaned his head back against the edge of the bathtub, and slowly closed his eyes, he really did not make a mistake in his bet, he is really a courageous person.

Liu Bailu listened nervously to the commotion outside. Shuang Jiang's father opened the courtyard door, and there was a lot of footsteps. There seemed to be a lot of people coming, and someone came and knocked on the door: "Open the door! Open the door!"

"This is our lady's room, and the officials, can we not search it?"

Shuang Jiang came over with snacks and quickly stopped the impatient officers and soldiers from pushing the door.

Zhang Sandao, who took the lead, said: "Today we are arresting the wanted criminal! Desperadoes, don't let us go in and search, what if your lady is killed?"

"what!"

Shuang Jiang was startled, and hastily pushed open the door, threw the snack plate in his hand on the round table facing the door, and was about to run into the inner room.Following the footsteps behind, Shuang Jiang woke up immediately, turned around and blocked people: "You can't enter!"

"Why don't you let in when the door is open!" Zhang San waved the gleaming knife and said impatiently, "Can you take care of the criminals if they run away?"

Liu Junge hurried over in his clothes, bowed to Zhang San, and said: "This official, this is the little girl's boudoir, it is really inconvenient for men to enter, I hope the official will accommodate you."

"My lord, the lady is taking a bath."

Shuang Jiang ran to Liu Junge's side very cleverly and whispered.

Liu Junge's expression froze, if there were really criminals, it would be very dangerous for his daughter to be inside, but if not, so many men broke in, and her daughter's reputation would be ruined.How can this be good?

Liu Sushi hurried over with her hair tied loosely and wearing a cloak, seeing this posture, she hurriedly said: "Master, why don't you let me go in and have a look, if there is anything wrong, I will let the officials in."

After all, it is her own daughter. If her life is really at stake, Liu Su would rather her daughter lose her reputation, even if she becomes a monk in the future, it is better than dying.

Zhang San frowned when he heard the words, and said: "That's impossible! What if someone is really inside, and you hid the person? I don't know what you did for your daughter's reputation. No, I'll find someone to go in Find it!"

Speaking of it, the Liu family's luck is good. This Zhang San is a well-behaved man, and he doesn't bully others. He is looking for the street every day, and he is familiar with the people in Lihua Lane. Turning around, he said a few words to the people behind him. The man left for a moment and returned with a fat woman.

"Sister Lin, I'm going to trouble you today."

Zhang San cupped his hands at Master Lin and said.

Lin's sister-in-law laughed loudly and said, "What am I doing? My three girls are sleeping in the house, why don't you go in and take a look? It's a little thing."

Zhang Sanyi reached out his hand, glanced at Liu Junge, and said, "Isn't this from the capital? There are rules."

"Hey, how can we make a private decision for life with someone before we get married? You have to ask people to come to you again and again. It's embarrassing enough. Only when you have enough airs do you agree to propose. Now, tsk tsk," the sister-in-law of the Lin family cast a disdainful glance Liu Sushi, who was tightly wrapped, also got up in the middle of the night and came out without putting on a jacket, pretending, "Oh, that's all, I'll just go in and have a look, but it's not a big deal, just take a bath, and get caught by someone." What's wrong with just taking a look? Who didn't see it when they were young? Huh?"

Zhang San laughed and said, "That's right? In summer, the stream outside our town is very lively."

Lin's sister-in-law patted Zhang San's shoulder with a big hand, and said with a smile, "Will your wife kick your ass?"

As soon as Lin's sister-in-law said this, everyone immediately burst into laughter, and Zhang San turned his head and glared at everyone with a look of forgiveness.

Zhang San is a well-known strict wife. Not long after he got married, his daughter-in-law kicked his buttocks, and he was bruised for many days. It happened that he went to the river to take a bath and was seen by the passing sister-in-law of the Lin family. She took it as a joke in Xiongtang County It has been talked about for many years.

Knowing that Zhang San was going to be annoyed, Lin's sister-in-law pushed Liu Junge and his wife who were blocking them and walked quickly into the inner room.

Liu Su was worried, and quickly turned around to follow.
