Chapter 235 Beheading
"Baby, what's your name?"
"Lu Yunhan." Yuanyuan ate the milk cake and spoke slowly, "Auntie, you can call me Yuanyuan."
"Okay, Yuanyuan is so good." Madam Meng handed over the sandalwood box with a smile, "Aunt Meng is giving you a welcome gift."
Yuanyuan's short legs were wobbling, and her big, bright black eyes were just staring at the box, but she didn't reach out to take it.
Upon seeing this, Madam Meng opened the box directly, took out the longevity lock from it and hung it around the baby's neck.
Just at this moment, Shang Wan opened the door and came out.
"Mom!" Yuanyuan ran over with her legs clacking, hugged Shang Wan's legs like a koala, and raised her pale little face, "Auntie, a meeting gift."
She stretched her neck as far as she could, asking her mother to look at the longevity lock hanging around her neck.
"Then have you thanked your aunt?" Shang Wan bent down and picked up the baby.
Yuanyuan tilted her head, looked at Madam Meng with her big eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, auntie."
"Little darling, come here, let Aunt Meng hug you." Madam Meng smiled and opened her arms. Yuanyuan didn't hesitate and threw herself into Madam Meng's arms generously, putting her little hands around her neck.
Shang Wan seemed to see a flash of tears in Madam Meng's eyes. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Madam Meng had already turned around, holding Yuanyuan and walking downstairs, calling Shang Wan to follow her.
·
The chef at the inn is very skilled, especially the charcoal-grilled lamb chops, which are tender, juicy and full of flavor.
Shang Wan put down the cup and looked around the lobby.
The decoration of the inn is simple, without too many fancy decorations.
It was past dinner time, and there were not many guests in the lobby. In addition to their table, there were only two other tables of guests.
There were four men sitting at a table, drinking and chatting, looking rather depressed and dejected.
There was a family of three at one table, and the man was calling the waiter to come over to settle the bill.
Shang Wan was just about to look away when the words "curse" and "dead" suddenly came into her ears.
She turned her head and saw that the person who spoke was the youngest of the four men, about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed like a warrior, with a scimitar beside him.
As if noticing Shang Wan's gaze, the man suddenly looked up. When he met Shang Wan's gaze, he was stunned at first, then raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his facial features are regular.
It was this smile that had a hint of teasing in it, which made it look greasy and wasted the face.
If an ordinary woman is looked at like this, she will usually avoid the gaze and will either feel shy or annoyed. In any case, she will have to give some reaction.
Shang Wan didn't do that. She stared at the man expressionlessly until the man couldn't stand her gaze anymore and turned away first.
That's it?
Shang Wan curled his lips, averted his gaze, took out a handkerchief to wipe Yuanyuan's mouth, and listened to the conversation over there at the same time.
"Another one died."
"It's a curse, it's a curse! I warned him a long time ago, but he wouldn't listen!"
"But the boss has already asked someone to check, and there is no problem with those things."
"So where do you think the curse came from?"
"Why are you being so mean to me? It's not like I provoked this curse."
"Stop arguing, drink a few more sips of wine while you can still breathe."
"We really can't escape?"
"Escape? Ha, Qiangzi did escape, but he still died by the river. If it's really a curse, no one can escape."
"Don't think about that shit, just drink."
"Yes, let's drink. Let's drink and get drunk today."
The four of them were already a little drunk. They felt bad when they thought about the curse and were worried that they would be the next to die. They could only numb themselves with alcohol.
Half an hour later, the four of them, reeking of alcohol, staggered out of the inn, supporting each other.
The window on the second floor was half opened. Shang Wan, who was standing by the window, retracted her gaze, lowered her head and pinched the baby's cheek, "My dear, do you want to go for a walk with your mother or stay in the inn and sleep?"
"Let's take a walk." Yuanyuan hugged her mother's neck tightly without any hesitation.
"Be good." Shang Wan carried the baby out of the window and quietly followed the four people.
The cold wind was blowing, and Yuanyuan buried most of her face in her cloak, leaving only a pair of bright black eyes exposed.
Fun!!

"You're finally back." In front of the inn, Madam Lou stopped walking back and forth and walked over quickly, "Where have you been?"
"Tanghulu." Yuanyuan waved the red string in her little hand, "Mom, buy some."
"Yuanyuan wanted to eat candied haws, so I took her to buy some. The streets were busy, so we walked around for a while longer." Shang Wan smiled and took off the candy coating on her face, his tone doting.
"Why didn't you leave a message?" Madam Lou scolded, "The staff at the inn said they didn't see you leave."
"Oh," Shang Wanrong said calmly, "We left through the window."
Madam Lou: “…”
Shang Wan carried Yuanyuan into the inn, "Why are you alone? Where are the others?"
"I went out to get some information." Madam Lou said, "I was worried that you wouldn't find anyone when you came back, so I stayed here to wait for you."
Shang Wan nodded, "I'm going to go upstairs to sleep now, you..."
"I'll go walk around the streets and look for them."
"it is good."
The two separated, Shang Wan carried Yuanyuan back to the house and untied his cloak.
There was a large stain of coagulated blood on the inside of the silver cloak. Shang Wan frowned and clicked his tongue.
Something unexpected happened when she was following him just now. The young-looking man died in front of her.
Shang Wan was following from a distance, and when he suddenly turned around, even she didn't react.
The others were sobered up from the fright and tried to escape, cursing but were knocked unconscious by Shang Wan with a knife.
She examined the man's body and found that the cut was smooth, as if it had been cut with a knife.
She immediately looked around and found a roll of blood-stained transparent silk thread on a branch not far away.
I don’t know what material it is made of, but the silk thread is extremely tough and can be easily torn apart.
The man's head was cut off by this thing.
There is no doubt that the man died of premeditated murder and had nothing to do with the curse.
Shang Wan felt that matters like murder should be handed over to the government for handling.
So, she became a porter, and Mr. An, who was on New Year's Day vacation, was forced to work overtime.
Shang Wan didn't bring a spare cloak, so he had to turn it inside out and wear it. On the way back, he went to a clothing store and bought two more. He also bought Yuanyuan her favorite candied haws, the biggest one with hawthorns.
After putting the blood-stained cloak into the space, Shang Wan squatted down and looked at Yuanyuan, saying gently, "My dear, were you scared just now?"
"Hmm." Yuanyuan bit the sugar coating on the hawthorn and tilted her head, saying in a soft voice, "Honghong, don't be afraid."
There will be red spots when tigers fight, which is not scary at all.
"So brave." Shang Wan touched the little head in front of him, "Mom is going to take a nap, do you want to sleep?"
"To accompany mother." Yuanyuan nodded her little head and wrapped the remaining half string of candied haws with oil paper.
Shang Wan asked in confusion: "Why did you wrap it? It won't melt in the freezing weather."
Yuanyuan stuffed the candied haws wrapped in oil paper back into her bag and said seriously, "For Xiaohei."
Shang Wan: “…”
Really, why do dogs like to eat candied haws?
"Juejue." Yuanyuan stretched out her little hands and asked her mother to hold her.
Shang Wan wiped her hands and face, then carried the baby to the bed.
