Chapter 722 Su Wuming 21
"fine."
"What did he just say? Ghost?" Su Wuming frowned slightly and repeated the old man's terrified cry.
"Yeah." Chu Hua blinked and tried to make a confused expression.
"This guy is so strange. Why is he smelling your scent?" She secretly glanced at Su Wuming and found that he was also in deep thought, with a hint of confusion on his handsome face.
Su Wuming sniffed the red cloth that had been cut off to wrap the body: "He should have smelled this."
Chu Huan and Su Wuming arrived at the door of Yin Shilang's shop.
It is no exaggeration to say that this shop is the largest in the ghost market. It occupies the most spacious location on the entire street, and its storefront is three times as wide as that of an ordinary shop.
"The all-powerful Yin Julang?" Chu Huan repeated the words on the sign with a hint of curiosity in her tone.
This name is really arrogant.
Su Wuming lowered his voice and said to Chu Hua, "Wait here for me. I'll go in and take a look."
Chu Hua grabbed Su Wuming's sleeve and pouted (not that big): "No! I want to go in too! Why leave me out here alone? What if human traffickers kidnap me?"
Su Wuming sighed helplessly. This ghost market was full of people of all kinds, especially here. It was indeed not very safe. He wanted to make a quick decision, but he didn't expect Chu Hua to be so persistent.
This little girl appears to be weak on the surface, but she is actually very stubborn.
"Okay." Su Wuming compromised, "But you have to follow me closely and don't run around."
Chu Hua immediately smiled and held Su Wuming's arm tightly. Su Wuming felt a little uncomfortable and slightly moved aside, but she hugged him tighter.
The shop was dimly lit and filled with a strange aroma, like that of medicinal herbs or some kind of spice, which smelled a bit pungent.
The shelves were filled with all kinds of strange things, including animal bones, unknown herbs, oddly shaped stones, and even a few shriveled human heads, which made Chu Hua's scalp tingle.
She held Su Wuming's arm tightly, afraid that she would accidentally touch something she shouldn't touch.
Sure enough, in the most conspicuous place, there was a row of exquisite porcelain jars with the words "Chang'an Black Tea" written on them. Su Wuming saw these jars at a glance and walked over quickly.
"Ah——" Su Wuming only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before he was caught in a huge net and suspended in mid-air.
"Su Wuming!" Chu Hua screamed and was also hung up, dangling beside Su Wuming like a dumpling.
She looked down and saw that they were three feet above the ground. If they fell, they would definitely break several bones.
Lu Lingfeng walked out from the darkness and pushed a middle-aged man forward: "Didn't you buy black tea from Yin Shilang? Look who it is. If you recognize it, I will not punish you for reselling black tea for huge profits!"
At Lu Lingfeng's command, the Jinwu Guards who were controlling the ropes slowly relaxed, and the net bag dropped a little, but was still hanging in the air, more than two feet above the ground.
Su Wuming and Chu Hua were like two captured prey, dangling in the net.
"Lieutenant Su?" Lu Lingfeng's eyes widened, and the saber in his hand almost fell to the ground. He never thought that one of the two people he hung up like a pig was Su Wuming. This was too dramatic!
"General, we meet again, hurry up, hurry up, let us down." Su Wuming was very uncomfortable being hung up, his face flushed, like a fat rabbit caught in a net. He tried to maintain his demeanor, but the swaying net bag made it difficult for him to be elegant.
Chu Hua was more relaxed than him. After all, the 21st century had seen all kinds of weird ways of playing. She just treated being hung up as an alternative bungee jumping.
She looked at Lu Lingfeng with a smile: "General, your way of arresting criminals is really unique. I just don't know if the rope is strong enough. Don't smash us into pieces."
"It's you again, little girl. Su Wuming, it's ok for a mere scholar like you to come to a place like this, but why did you bring this little girl with you?"
As soon as Lu Lingfeng said this, Chu Hua immediately quit. Her face turned stern and she said angrily, "What? Do you look down on women? Women can't come to this ghost market? I insist on coming, what can you do to me?"
Su Wuming had to hang around and worry about her. He shook his head helplessly. This girl was really a troublemaker.
He quickly explained to Lu Lingfeng: "General, we are here to investigate the case, not to offend you."
Lu Lingfeng looked Su Wuming up and down, then looked at Chu Hua, with a look of suspicion on his face: "Just the two of you? Su Wuming, I know you are a little smart, but this ghost market is not a joke. If you are not careful, you will die without knowing how."
Chu Hua immediately perked up when she heard this, and looked at Lu Lingfeng provocatively: "What? Is the General threatening us? I want to see what this ghost market can do to me!"
"You--" Lu Lingfeng was so angry at her fearless look, but he couldn't hit a girl, so he could only blush.
"Hey, General Lu, please put us down quickly. It's okay that Su is thick-skinned, but Chu Huan is a girl and can't stand such hardship." Su Wuming felt dizzy and his stomach was churning.
He was worried that Chu Hua was feeling as uncomfortable as he was. Although this girl looked carefree, she was actually very delicate. What if she vomited?
Lu Lingfeng then noticed Chu Hua, who was hanging next to Su Wuming. This girl, her face was red from being tied up, but she was still smiling like a naughty monkey.
He was a little embarrassed for a moment. If this got out, how would he put his face when he, a dignified Lieutenant General of the Jinwu Guard, actually left Di Renjie's last disciple and a girl hanging in the ghost market?
"Su Wuming! As the lieutenant of Chang'an County, it's bad enough that you couldn't catch the murderer, but you also ruined the trap we set for the villain. Are you a waste?" Xiao Wu, who was beside Lu Lingfeng, shouted at Su Wuming in the net bag with a look of disdain, his tail almost raised to the sky.
Chu Hua had a short temper and could get mad at any time. Her eyebrows were raised and her eyes were wide open, just like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
"Look down on women? I am a woman who can hold up half the sky in the 21st century! If it weren't for Su Wuming, who would be willing to talk to a fool like you!"
Su Wuming was startled by her sudden anger and swayed even more violently in the net bag.
"Miss Chuhua, be careful with your words, be careful with your words!" He whispered, looking around anxiously, afraid that someone would hear him. This girl was really outspoken and dared to say anything.
