Chapter 31 Oh, you're dead? You're dead and you're still buying clothes?
Lu Jinghe found it somewhat amusing.
Sun Qi must have had a nightmare and was terrified, right? Anyway, it couldn't have been him who scared people; he never scares anyone.
"Cough cough cough, stop crying. You're a grown man, aren't you ashamed?"
Lu Jinghe coughed and said seriously, "I'm here on official business. Where does Widow Liu live? Take me there."
After a while, Sun Qi had recovered enough and secretly glanced at Lu Jinghe. How did this guy end up at his house?
Judging from his clothes and demeanor, he's probably an important person. I'd better speak politely.
"Sir, you've taken a fancy to Widow Liu?" Sun Qi asked directly, inquiring about Widow Liu—he could act as a matchmaker.
Widow Liu was a beautiful woman with a great figure; she was large in all the right places and full in all the right places, with a very slim waist.
He had once coveted Widow Liu, but alas, she married young and became a widow.
Lu Jinghe's face darkened immediately. Was Sun Qi out of his mind? He was just shouting about whether Widow Liu was dead or not, and now he was coming over to introduce Widow Liu to him and act as a matchmaker. What a genius.
"I have a fiancée. I'm asking you whether Widow Liu is dead or not."
"This—I'm alive and well, but that's not right—" Sun Qi scratched his head, puzzled. But if I'm alive, then what does the dream mean?
How could he possibly dream of such a terrifying scene when he was perfectly fine? In the mass grave, Widow Liu, now a dried-up corpse, suddenly sat up and started chasing him.
They kept asking there:
Am I dead or not, Sun Qi? Tell me!
Am I dead? Sun Qi! Sun Qi, I treated you well when I was alive, please help me!
I'm not dead, Sun Qi! I'm still alive!
As she spoke, the widow Liu bit his neck and sucked his blood, which was truly horrifying.
After a moment's thought, Sun Qi asked again, "Did Widow Liu die or not?"
Ancient people have always been very sensitive to dreams, especially those that seem to be dreams of the dead.
Sun Qi felt a chill creep into his heart. Should he not have gone back to Lantian?
"Where does Widow Liu live? Take me there." Lu Jinghe could tell that this man was terrified by a dream, and he didn't want to waste any more time on Sun Qi.
Upon hearing Lu Jinghe's words, Sun Qi quickly led the way. Although he didn't understand what the title of "Grand Celestial Master of the Tang Dynasty" was, he knew that currying favor was the right thing to do.
If we can get help from this benefactor, not to mention fighting against the rival who has a powerful backer, at least surviving in Chang'an will definitely not be a problem.
He didn't want to stay in Lantian anymore; he preferred to stay in Chang'an if possible.
This Lantian is strange. My childhood friend told me those outrageous stories as soon as I got back, and about that widow Liu. Thinking about it now, they're still absurd.
Why would she want such luxurious fabric?
Don't you usually wear plain-colored clothes?
At first, he thought he could take the business if he wanted to, but now he realizes that something really wasn't right.
Coupled with that terrifying dream, he now wants to leave Lantian immediately.
"Master Celestial, is there something wrong with that widow Liu?"
"I'm not entirely sure; I'll only know for sure once I see the person in person."
Lu Jinghe replied casually, his attention already drawn to the house in front of him.
The house felt eerily deserted, so I figured it must be Widow Liu's home. I pointed and asked, "Is that Widow Liu's house?"
"Yes," Sun Qi nodded repeatedly, and asked, "Does Your Excellency wish to see Widow Liu?"
"Um.
""
Sun Qi jogged to knock on the door. Lu Jinghe was standing not far from the door. Widow Liu was definitely dead.
What is that in the room?
"Sister Liu, open the door! It's me, Xiao Sun!"
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock!"
"I've come to ask about the fabric of the clothes, Sister Liu, please open the door!"
"Here you are!"
A clear, crisp sound rang out, and Lu Jinghe immediately recognized it.
This woman is definitely not human. Although her voice is pleasant, she is definitely not human.
Soon, the door was pushed open.
A woman, dressed very simply, emerged. She was reasonably good-looking, with an appearance similar to that of a courtesan in Chang'an.
"Xiao Sun, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the fabric of your clothes?"
Widow Liu looked at Sun Qi with a smile, her gaze gentle, as if she were looking at her own younger brother.
"Ah, it's really nothing." Sun Qi waved his hand and pointed, "This lord is looking for you; I was just showing you the way."
"Looking for me? What do you want!" The smiling widow Liu suddenly turned cold and glared at Lu Jinghe. Lu Jinghe was stunned, and he felt a cold wind blow past him.
That's interesting. An ordinary person would probably be so scared that they'd fall ill.
"Sun Qi, right? You can go now. I need to talk to your Sister Liu."
Lu Jinghe waved him away, saying, "Don't worry about your business, just do it normally."
"Thank you, sir!" Sun Qi said and quickly ran away.
He also realized that this widow Liu didn't seem to be the same widow Liu he knew.
He was very close to Widow Liu, and he clearly felt it when she glared at Lu Jinghe. A cold wind swept by, making him feel a chill in his heart.
He had to run quickly and get back to Chang'an overnight!
"This...this Miss Liu, won't you invite me in to talk?"
Miss? Shall we go inside and talk?
She was now a widow, and although she was furious, she put on a smiling face and looked at Lu Jinghe gently.
"Yes, young master, please come in."
Lu Jinghe bypassed Widow Liu and went straight into the courtyard.
Widow Liu quickly poured Lu Jinghe a cup of tea and said, "I didn't expect such an important person to come, so I wasn't prepared."
Lu Jinghe blew on his teacup; he didn't really like drinking tea.
Moreover, this stuff is poisonous, but the dosage is small enough not to be fatal.
However, it can cripple a person, similar to chemical castration in later generations?
What a wicked little girl.
Lu Jinghe put down the tea. Although he was not afraid of poison, he did not have the habit of drinking poison.
He then asked, "Is the young lady already dead?"
"Or rather, Widow Liu is already dead."
Lu Jinghe bluntly stated, "Why would you buy clothes if you're dead?"
"That Sun Qi is a decent person, just a bit of a coward."
"But it's normal to be a little timid sometimes. He has a whole family to support. As for you, why are you going to affect him?"
"They actually did business with him, buying his fabric to make clothes."
"You're dead and you still buy new clothes to wear?" Lu Jinghe asked curiously. It must have been quite a hardship for this little thing to stay in this corpse.
Lu Jinghe realized that she was not human, but a little demon that had possessed Widow Liu's corpse.
As he spoke, Lu Jinghe reached out and grabbed Widow Liu's collar, pulling her aside.
A long scar appeared, clearly indicating that someone had slit his throat.
"Come out and let's talk." Lu Jinghe loosened his collar, pointed his fingers into a palm, and slammed it towards Widow Liu's chest.
With a "whoosh," a figure in emerald green flew out.
The widow Liu's body fell to the ground with a thud, instantly turning into a shriveled corpse.
Lu Jinghe asked, "What are you going to do occupying a dead person's body?"
While Lu Jinghe spoke, his thoughts were already far away: So demons really do exist in this world!
However, the number should be small; they should be quite rare.
