Chapter 62: Nine Deaths, One Life

Lai Da looked at it, and his eyes also straightened, what about the person who was killed? Lai Da jumped up, kicked the subordinates guarding the door, pointed to a place in front of the door, and asked, "What about the dead man? What about the dead man who just lay down there? Who got rid of it?" ”

The person who was kicked was old, and he was the most old-eyed and dizzy, and he was still confused after being kicked, and pointed to the open space and said, "Aren't you lying there? ”

Jia Zhen rubbed her eyes, and then looked carefully, it was still an open space, not to mention blood, not even dust, clean as if it had been washed with water?

Jia Lian saw that this person was blind, and he was also angry, so he stomped his feet twice, and instructed Wang'er to ask the other gatekeepers.

Rongguo Mansion died, what a big deal, although Rongning Erfu is famous, usually no one dares to look in front of the main gate, but as soon as something happens, this lively gossip psychology suddenly overwhelms the awe of Rongning Erfu.

Although the news has not spread too much, there are also fifty or sixty people gathered on Ningrong Street, sticking out their heads to probe their brains, wanting to squeeze forward to see what is going on. Thanks to the great business of the Rongguo Mansion, there are many subordinates, although the door is not very open, but there are more than a dozen subordinates in gorgeous clothes to guard the door, which just comes in handy at this time.

Those subordinates held sticks in their hands to block the crowd of onlookers, and waved the sticks in their hands from time to time to drive away, "Go away, go away, is this the place where you can come? Squeeze forward, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unsympathetic." ”

With a wave of a few thick sticks, coupled with the vicious faces of the people of Rongguo Mansion, under the threat and threat, the effect was not bad, at least within a range of ten steps on both sides of the stone lion of Rongning Erfu, the scene was cleared.

There are clusters of sedan chairs and horses in the way, those onlookers, can't see it really, it is inevitable to want to squeeze forward, plus the people who got the news and rushed to join in the fun, the guards even took out the strength to eat, and they were sweating profusely.

When he heard Wang'er come to ask where the corpse was, he couldn't help but stare at it, and scolded in annoyance: "I'm blind with a dog's eyes, and I can't see such a big dead man lying down." Hell. ”

Wang'er is a little guy who has to be used by Jia Lian's side, and his daughter-in-law is Wang Xifeng's companion, who in this house didn't greet him with a smile, and was slapped by that person, Wang'er was angry, and sneered: "Blind bastard, who are you talking to." ”

Only then did the person recognize the questioner, his face was as white as paper, and he immediately took out a free hand, slapped him in the face a few times, and said with a flattering smile: "Uncle Wang, I was blind and dizzy." You have a lot of old people, don't worry about villains. ”

Wang'er was still waiting to talk back to Jia Lian, and she didn't have time to worry about this person, so she snorted coldly: "Bastard thing, Second Master Ming'er asked you, and you also talked like that." ”

The subordinate laughed again and again, and he didn't dare to dare, and Wang Erfang asked, "The second master asked you, where is the corpse at the gate?"

When the man heard this, he hurriedly turned around and pointed, and said with a smile: "Right there, Uncle Rui is so angry, he pulled out his bow, and he was hit with an arrow, and the Taoist priest sighed, threw himself forward, fell to the ground, and lost his breath." When we looked at it, the Taoist priest's eyes were still staring at the boss. ”

The subordinate said that he was very up, and he gestured twice, and said: "Usually, who knows that Uncle Rui has this ability, if he is sick, he can shoot people to death, if it is good, wouldn't he even shoot a tiger to death." ”

"Fuck your mother, what about the dead Taoist?" Wang'er took two steps forward, pulled his neck and looked, not to mention the corpse, not even a ghost shadow, and suddenly became angry, one or two daytime ghosts!

"It's not lying ......there," the man looked at it fixedly, and was also stunned, his body trembled like a leaf in the wind, and he said in a trembling voice: "It was still there just now, why did it suddenly disappear?"

In Rongguo's mansion, Jia Yu listened to Jia Lian and Jia Zhen's reply, and he couldn't believe it: "Nonsense, such a big dead person, if you can't see it, you will disappear, even if you are blind outside, there should be one or two who are not blind!"

Jia Lian's neck shrank, with a helpless face, and said: "It's really gone, even those sedan chairs by the door, we have looked for them, but we haven't seen them." ”

Jia Zhen was also quite helpless, and said: "At that time, I was busy reporting the news, and I was busy stopping the passers-by who were watching, and I went to see the condition of Rui Ge'er, and those people didn't pay much attention to the corpse? ”

Jia Zheng frowned when he heard this, and sighed: "In front of everyone's eyes, there was such a murder, but the body was missing. Let people hear it, and it was our family that hid the corpse in order to protect the clansmen. ”

"What does this have to do with our family. Jia Yu felt insulted and said: "If we want to protect the clansmen, what kind of corpses do we need to hide? ”

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian nodded again and again, with a look of deep disapproval, seeing that Jia Zheng's face was extremely dark, this kind of thing can be said casually.

In Jia's mother's house, the small drama has gone, and the guests have all dispersed, Jia's mother changed into homely clothes, leaned on the couch, closed her eyes and recuperated, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing and Sister You Shifeng sat aside.

"It's also wronged, somehow, there was a lame Taoist priest who came to the door to fast, and I don't know how, Uncle Rui heard it inside, knocked on the side of the bed, and shouted to ask the Bodhisattva to save him. When I saw the Taoist priest, he also shouted to the Bodhisattva to save me. The Taoist priest said that Uncle Rui's disease could not be cured by medicine, so he gave him a mirror and asked Uncle Rui to look at it every day, but he must not look at the front, only the negative. Who knew that Uncle Rui held it and took it a few times, and let go of his hand as if he was awake, the mirror fell to the ground, and he got up to pick it up, and then everyone heard Uncle Rui shouting, let me take the mirror and leave. Listening to the mirror falling down again, everyone went up to take a look, and Uncle Rui's body was cold. Lai Da's mother sat a few younger, and said with a flutter of eyebrows to Jia's mother, this kind of superstitious story is the favorite of the elderly ladies, and they have to show off when they have nothing to do on weekdays, not to mention that there is a murder case in it, which is even more energetic.

Seeing that Mother Jia was fascinated by this, Mama Lai pretended to lament again: "The old lady and his wife, only this one grandson, cried to death at that time, scolded the Taoist priest, and said that the mirror was a monster, and someone wanted someone to burn it." I heard the mirror crying and crying, saying why bother to burn me. The lame Taoist priest also ran for some reason, shouting that I would come to help, snatching the mirror and running. At that moment, Uncle Rui, who was already out of breath, jumped up without knowing how, took the bow and arrow on the wall, and ran out...... shouted, the demon left, pulled the bow, and with a "whoosh" sound, it hit the back of the Taoist priest's heart...... At that time, there were twenty or thirty gatekeepers in our two families, and they all went up to take a look, and confirmed that the Taoist priest was really out of breath and could not be saved. ”

Mama Lai did not forget to emphasize that the Taoist priest was indeed dead, after all, although she came to gossip, it was also one of Mama Lai's purposes to exonerate her son.

Mrs. Wang frowned, glanced at Mrs. Xing, and said, "This is strange, since that Taoist priest is really dead, how can he not even see the corpse?"

"Qi Yeqi is here, so many people outside are watching, not only our two families, but also the old lady's house, although the sky is a little cloudy, it has not reached the point where the black light is blind and you can't see. However, I've heard that ......"

Mama Lai peeked at Mother Jia's face, bowed her voice cautiously, and said with a mysterious expression: "At that time, there was a subordinate in the old lady's family who seemed to see the mirror in the corpse's hand flashing, and because he was concerned about Uncle Rui, he didn't look closely, and later, it was Uncle Zhen who came out and found that the corpse was gone." ”

"Hiss-" Mother Jia and the second lady of Xing Wang both gasped before they could speak, when they heard people say back and forth: "It has nothing to do with our family, the people in the yamen have gone to the old lady's house." ”

Mother Jia has always been timid, and the most compassionate, when she heard the word yamen, she already frowned, and after hearing what people said, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "I heard that Brother Rui suffered from this illness before, and I have asked countless doctors to get better, and now this thing has happened, how can I be good." The old couple of them are also people of this age, and they don't enjoy much happiness, but they have to suffer from these tosses? Therefore, he confessed to humanity, and looked at Jia Dairu's face and helped to make some senses.

Because she had nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother fell in her heart, and after a few gossips, she said that she was tired and wanted to rest.

Mrs. Wang went back to the room, and it happened that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also came to inquire about the news.

Mrs. Wang told Aunt Xue what Mama Lai said, and said with a smile: "This is a real miracle. The dead can still live, not only alive, but also have the strength to draw a bow and shoot arrows, and hurt people's lives. He also said that the corpse of the Taoist priest suddenly disappeared, and I don't know why, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

Aunt Xue said: "That Taoist priest is so weird, and he can drive the demon mirror to make trouble, it can be seen that he is a genuine demon Taoist, I am afraid that he has done a lot of hurtful things." If you don't see the corpse, you must have used demon magic to cover it up. ”

Xue Baochai also said with a smile: "In my opinion, Uncle Narui, who has been sick for a long time, how much strength can he have? Most of them were shot with an arrow, and the Taoist priest turned his back on his back coldly, so the people who went up to visit thought that Uncle Rui had killed someone. Later, the Taoist priest woke up and saw the people in the house reporting everywhere, so he took advantage of no one to pay attention and sneaked away. It's that the Taoist priest really lost his breath, people like them are not alone, maybe they are the accomplices of the Taoist priest, who used some kind of blindfolding method to get rid of the corpse. It must be fearful, so that something will go wrong, otherwise, if a person dies at the gate of the house, how can the old lady get by in her heart, even if it has nothing to do with the house, she has to give some silver. ”

Xue Baochai's words were reasonable, and soon the two governments knew it, and everyone said that Xue Baochai was really steady, and she couldn't complain that the old lady loved her.

And after Jia Cong heard Xue Baochai's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the leper monk and the lame Taoist priest are a pair of golden partners.

Xue Baochai ate the cold incense pill given by the leper monk, and wore the golden lock given by the leper monk, but said that the lame Taoist priest was a demon, and it was slightly faster to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

However, Jia Cong couldn't jump out and say that the original book stated that the lame Taoist priest and the leper monk were both immortals, in that case, there would probably be more than one lame Taoist priest with a corpse at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Therefore, Jia Cong could only listen to the subordinate master of Rongguo Mansion, mysteriously spreading extremely magical gossip.

"You think, that Taoist priest, Uncle Rui called him Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva is worshiped by a monk, what does it have to do with the Taoist priest? The Taoist priest who claims to be a Bodhisattva is not a demon, what else can it be? ”

Jia Cong rubbed his temples, red lotus, white lotus root, green lotus leaves, the three sects were originally a family, he knew that these people definitely didn't know this poem, but it wasn't Jia Rui who was called a bodhisattva, when did he become a lame Taoist priest who claimed to be a self-proclaimed, and he couldn't be regarded as a default because people didn't deny it.

"What else does the Taoist priest say is only to take care of Wang Sun Gongzi, the Bodhisattva Pudu sentient beings, and he is not a second grandmother, and he watches people put dishes all day long, just by virtue of this sentence, he is not a good Taoist. ”

Jia Cong gave a thumbs up in his heart, this sense of equality is simply beyond the times, in addition, Wang Xifeng was really shot while lying down, but considering that what he said was Mrs. Xing's companion Wang Shanbao's family, it was reasonable to be a little resentful of Sister Feng.

I heard that the old lady asked someone to send medicinal materials to Uncle Rui, and the second grandmother sent either moldy or some scum, so that the medicinal materials can be eaten? ”

Wang Shanbao's family mentioned Sister Feng, it was full of dissatisfaction, Zhou Rui's family was Mrs. Wang's room, Sister Feng called Sister Zhou, she was Mrs. Xing's room, in front of Sister Feng, but it was no different from the rough mother-in-law. This kind of differential treatment, how can Wang Shanbao's family not care about it, and it is inevitable that he will seek an opportunity to slander a few words in front of others.

"Our second grandmother has the guts, what else dare not be done. If it's a man, I'm afraid that the dragon chair will dare to sit on it. A mother-in-law laughed.

"Bah, it's really damn bad, you can say this casually. The second grandmother went to sit on the dragon chair, you still have to follow, what good can you get?" everyone couldn't help but take a sip and scolded with a smile.

"Why is it not good? If the second grandmother sits on the dragon chair and is rewarded, we can still do no good, the play says that the official made a wish. The woman said whimsically.

"This is a crazy play, there is now a Jiao Da who followed his ancestors to send troops in the house, and he carried his ancestors out of the pile of dead people, such a life-saving feeling, what kind of officials did he get, and what benefits did he get? Someone couldn't help but sneer.

"That's not the case, and Jiao Da himself doesn't look good. No matter how great the affection is, he can't stand him being scolded when he gets drunk like this, and now it's not the time of the ancestors. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of gossip suddenly became boring.

After drinking a few sips of tasteless tea, some people laughed and said: "Speaking of Jiao Da, have you heard that this time Uncle Errui killed people, and that Jiao Da actually said that it was the ancestor who appeared, which shows that he is old and confused." ”

No one had heard the news, so they were busy asking what was going on.

The man said: "It's not the bow that Uncle Rui is holding, it was originally used by Ning Guogong, because the old lady of their family heard that Ning Guogong's bow and arrow have been on the battlefield, have evil spirits, and can be psychic to drive away evil spirits, so they asked Uncle Zhen to ask for it and hung it in Uncle Rui's room." Who knew that Jiao Da saw Uncle Rui pulling a bow and killing people that day, so he insisted that it was the person killed by Ning Guogong attached to Uncle Rui. ”

"Hey, it's not enough to have a god who respects the old man all day long, Jiao Da has another ancestor to manifest his spirit, and I don't know which god he offended in that house?"

Seeing that the sky was cloudy, the people who gathered together to eat melon seeds, drink tea, chat and play cards slowly dispersed.

Jia Cong bit the pen and was very distressed, the bow and arrow that Jia Rui used to kill people seemed to be mentioned in the three generations......

He also wanted to ask him where the gods he had offended, he was always inseparable from feudal superstition, and his psychological pressure was also very great, when he thought of the White Lotus Sect and all kinds of cults that had been illegally banned, he was worried that a circle of light would emerge from the back of his head one day.

The paper money is scattered, the rich aroma of wine is diffused in the wind, and only half of the stele is left, and the words of Li Desheng's tomb can be vaguely seen.

Jiao Da looked at the grassy grave and burst into tears: "Brother Desheng, we were born and died, how can we hope to give birth to these beasts today, enjoy glory and wealth, and the family still steals chickens and dogs, and does not do good things." Nine deaths and one life at that time...... Nine deaths, one life......"

Jiao Da took a sip of wine, opened his drunken eyes and said: "Among the descendants of Rong Guogong, there is still a Brother Cong who can remember us, his grandfather, his father, are also the same bastards......"

After scolding a few bastards, Jiao Da cried again: "What can you do if you remember, brother, you can't live anymore, you can't live-" Jiao Da's voice stopped abruptly.

He stood there in a daze, his legs as if they were so heavy that he couldn't move a single step. In a trance, there seemed to be countless familiar voices calling in my ears, and the earth began to shake, and my soul trembled with it......

In the haze, Jiao Da saw a group of ghosts, a group of ghosts that had not been seen in the world for a long time......
