The people in the city that never sleeps are all dressed in brocade clothes, the hairpins and rings on their heads are shining with jewelry, and the hats are shining with waves of translucent water under the last rays of the setting sun.

"Wow, this place is really too prosperous. Even in the capital, not everyone can be so rich." A Luo exclaimed, but soon her eyes were attracted by the street vendors on the side of the road.An ordinary burden made of bamboo and wood, covered with a thick white cloth and covered with steaming soy oil pancakes, the pancakes are scorched and fragrant, and covered with a layer of bright oil, steamed by the heat, exuding a very strong smell. Alluring aroma.

"I want two big pancakes." Ah Lao took out the money and put it on the burden, but the businessman didn't raise his head, just cut the big pancakes into small pieces and put them on the table, and then wrapped them in cloth.

"I want to buy cakes, little brother." Seeing that he didn't respond, Ah Luo tapped the bamboo pole and pointed to the money she put on it.

"My cakes are not bought with money. Didn't you see what was written on my burden?" The little brother stepped out of the burden, lifted the white cloth that was hanging down, pointed to a line of words and said, "I want to buy cakes and give a bowl of blood as a gift. "

"You have to have blood if you don't want to make money? What a strange rule, do you like to drink blood?" Ah Luo turned her head and looked at Suhe.

"It's not that I like to drink, but the girls in Sulou love to drink. I don't know when it started. The girls in Sulou no longer accept cash for receiving customers, but they only need a bowl of human blood to have a spring breeze. I have already had a drink this month. I went there a few times, cut my wrist in many places, but it can't bleed much. I have no choice but to sell cakes to accumulate human blood, anyway, I am not short of money." The younger brother looked at Ah Luo's thin body, Shaking his head, he continued to walk back to the back of the burden to cut the pancakes.

"Su Lou? The name is quite elegant." Ah Luo naturally understood what Su Lou was, and was curious about this strange rule.Could it be that there are monsters in this plain house? But it doesn't mean that all the girls drink human blood.

Su He glanced at the passers-by on the road. No matter how expensive the clothes were, the man's withered complexion could not be concealed, and the white gauze on the wrist under the long sleeves was faintly visible.

"Ah Rao, let's continue on our way. It's a novel feeling to spend the night in the forest." Su He's bright eyes were kind, and he took Ah Luo's hand and was about to leave. At this time, Ah Luo didn't care about the fragrant pancake. So, follow Suhe step by step and walk out of the city.

It's a pity that the sun has set and the city gate is closed.

"It seems that this is a guest from the sky, and the guest has to follow. Ah Luo, let's stay here for one night."

☆、Chapter 54 How deep is the courtyard ([-])

As night falls, the entire city, regardless of the market, is brightly lit, with bright lanterns hanging everywhere.The crowd was bustling, and the shouting was replaced by seductive Qingge Yanyu.The song penetrates every attic street, like an invisible silk scarf, quietly stirring your lonely and troubled heart.All men, women and children, young and old, were attracted by this charming voice, and all crowded towards the west, only then did Ah Luo understand why this place is called the city that never sleeps.

But when they arrived at a small building, they stopped taking people away, but there were still quite a few people who were in a daze and opened their sleeves, rushing into the small building with a heroic aura of death.

There is a lacquered gold plaque hanging on the small building - Sulou.

But the strange thing is that Su Lou doesn't have any evil spirit or resentment, but it is too clean, without any wandering soul or broken soul fragments around.

"Suhe, here..."

"There's something dormant here." Su He glanced at Ah Luo, then pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you care or not?" As soon as the words fell, Su He suddenly stopped talking, and stared fixedly at the crowd in the distance.

"What's the matter? Suhe, what did you see?" Ah Luo followed Suhe's gaze, but only saw a bunch of heads.

"An old friend. It's so late, let's find a place to rest." Su He pulled Ah Luo away from the crowd and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.

After walking for a long way, Suhe didn't stop at any inn, but dragged Ah Luo further and further into the desolation.It didn't stop until in front of a magnificent mansion.

"It's here." Suhe went to the door and knocked on the knocker.

"Here? Are we going to live here?" Ah Luo looked at this magnificent mansion. The entire east alley was deserted, only this house was lit with rows of yellow paper lanterns, and the paintings on the lanterns were familiar and somewhat familiar. Strange spell.And this house, like the plain building, is too clean.

While speaking, the door of the mansion opened slowly, and a neat old man came out from inside, wearing half-worn silk and satin, his hair was meticulously combed into a bun behind his head, and the soapy shoes under his feet were clean and dust-free.The old man first walked out habitually, and seeing that there was no one outside the door except two girls, he walked in again, poked his head out slowly to look at Suhe, with doubts on his face.

"But this girl knocked on the door of my house?" The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Suhe for a long time, as if he finally saw it clearly. With a look of panic on his face, he immediately got into the house and shut the door shut. .

"Hey, Suhe, what is he...?" Ah Luo was a little stunned, Suhe's appearance shouldn't be so scary, why does this old man feel terrified like seeing a ghost.

"Who knows, maybe we saw that we thought of someone else. Or another ghost." Su He smiled contemptuously, pulled Ah Luo around the wall, and found a remote corner. Pulling Ah Luo through the wall and ran into the mansion.

The outside of the wall is deserted and desolate, and so is the inside of the wall. The place where Su He and Ah Luo entered is a courtyard overgrown with weeds, which is full of weeds.The houses were also covered with a thick layer of dust, and the moonlight poured down from the sky, making the yard look even more shadowy.

"This yard looks pretty good, but it's a bit dirty, so let's live here for the time being." Su He looked back at A Luo comfortingly. don't worry.With a flick of the arm, the dust disappears and the weeds make way.

The quilts in the house are still very new, and it doesn't look like a place where there has been no one for a long time.

"Ah Luo, sleep together tonight." Su He quickly spread the quilt, went to the window and opened the closed window, the moonlight poured in immediately, as if the ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

The two were about to sleep when suddenly a shadow flashed outside the window.

"Who?!" Ah Luo suddenly turned her head, only to see the shaky tree shadow outside the window.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. How about I go and close the windows?"

The night quickly passed quietly in the uniform soil system of the two of them. In the morning, the sky was still slightly bright, and there was crystal dew condensed on the weeds.A dim yellow lantern appeared in the courtyard, and the one holding the lantern was a young girl, followed by a girl in white clothes.

"Ming'er, did you really see a stranger here last night?" the woman in white asked, her voice was just enough to wake up Suhe and the others.

"Girl, it's absolutely true. Ming'er is absolutely not lying. Girl, go to the window and you will know. There are two girls living inside, and one of them is wearing a blood-red dress. The window is open, girl can go and have a look."

The girl in white went to the window, but saw that the window was closed tightly, and looked at Ming'er suspiciously.

"Girl, when I came last night, the windows were open. Have they gone?"

"Ming'er, did you have a dream last night? This place has been vacant for more than 100 years, and no one from our house comes here, let alone strangers. Let's go back quickly, or they will find out and blame us again."

The girl in white suddenly turned around, and when she looked up, she met the eyes of Shang Suhe and Ah Luo.The girl in white's eyes were in a daze, and her eyes gradually shifted from the two of them to Suhe.She stared blankly for a long time, until Ah Luo stood in front of Suhe in dissatisfaction, then she smiled.

"Who are you?" Ming'er stood up and asked, and then looked back at the girl in white, as if to say, I didn't lie to you.

"We are passers-by. I'm sorry to come here uninvited when passing by your place. But something is wrong in your house, so we came in rashly." Suhe looked at the woman and smiled lightly.
