Chapter 021: The Ghost Lingers
Lin Haixiao's inky eyes looked at Xin Shiyu deeply, as if he was sure, and then turned his head to look at Mrs. Lin, "Grandma, she is not sensible, did she make you angry?"
Old Madam Lin saw that her eldest grandson was back, and she had a happy smile on her face, but when she heard Lin Haixiao ask about Xin Shiyu, she was unhappy again, and said bluntly: "Haixiao, this girl is not suitable to be your wife." ”
After saying this, Old Madam Lin turned her head and glanced at Xin Qing beside her, with undisguised love in her eyes.
"Grandma, Shiyu is still young, it is inevitable that she will make mistakes, it is not good for her to make you angry, let her kneel in the ancestral hall!" Lin Haixiao's tone was modest, but he had more prestige that could not be refuted.
There was silence.
Anyone can hear that Lin Haixiao ostensibly punished Xin Shiyu for kneeling in the ancestral hall, but in fact he changed direction to protect Xin Shiyu.
Mrs. Lin didn't want to get into trouble with her favorite grandson because of Xin Shiyu, but she didn't want to let go of Xin Shiyu easily, so she glanced at Xin Shiyu and said coldly: "Xin Shiyu is too presumptuous, punish her for kneeling in the ancestral hall for one night." ”
One night!!
Xin Shiyu grinned secretly and peeked at Lin Haixiao, Lin Haixiao nodded slightly at her, signaling her to accept it.
"Thank you grandma for being lenient with me. Xin Shiyu gave the old lady a salute, got up and followed Sister Qing, and when she passed by Lin Haixiao's side, she secretly stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Thank you!"
Lin Haixiao really had the urge to pull Xin Shiyu over and beat her up, and punishing her to kneel in the ancestral hall was a light punishment.
Xin Shiyu followed Sister Qing to the ancestral hall of the Lin family.
The old lady of the Lin family is a southerner, joined the army at a young age, fought in the south and the north, made great achievements, and later settled in the imperial capital, because it was too far away from his hometown, he built an ancestral hall in the Lin family's mansion.
The ancestral hall is built very beautifully, the outside looks at the carved beams and paintings, antique, the inside is splendid, and the fine carving is finely carved.
It's just that no matter how beautiful the ancestral hall is, it is a place to worship the tablet of the dead after all, and there is an eerie coldness inside and out.
Inside the huge ancestral hall, the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Lin family stood on the high table one by one, and flowers and rich tributes were placed on them.
Xin Shiyu was looking around curiously, and suddenly a scolding came from behind her, "Kneel!"
As soon as she turned around, she saw Sister Qing beside the old lady standing behind her with a gloomy face.
Sister Qing next to the old lady is naturally very important in this family, which is equivalent to Mama Rong next to the queen!
Xin Shiyu didn't dare to offend this person, and obediently knelt on the futon.
"The old lady said, without your supper, you will kneel here until tomorrow morning. Sister Qing said commandingly.
"Yes, I see. Xin Shiyu nodded obediently in order to be less tidy.
Sister Qing glanced at Xin Shiyu and instructed the maid at the door, "Sister Zhao, you are watching her here, and she is not allowed to walk around or move." ”
"Yes. Sister Zhao agreed.
Xin Shiyu knelt for a while, then her legs were numb, she turned her head and quietly looked at the door, and saw the maid standing at the door about forty years old, with kind eyebrows.
She smiled and smiled at Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao looked at her and smiled slightly, Xin Shiyu sat on the futon, rubbing her sore knees.
Sister Zhao is a kind person, watching Xin Shiyu sit lazily and not speak.
When Sister Qing came to inspect, Sister Zhao would cough lightly and remind Xin Shiyu, who immediately knelt down in a proper manner and recovered her guilt.
When there was no one in the afternoon, Sister Zhao secretly brought in some water and food for Xin Shiyu.
"Sister, you're so good, thank you!" Xin Shiyu took the water first and drank it with a grunt.
"Young lady, don't call me sister, torture me!" Sister Zhao said very uneasily, then turned her head to look around, and whispered: "Young lady, you want to find a way to intercede with the old lady or Mr. Lin, don't kneel here at night, this ancestral hall will be haunted at night!"
"Haunted?" Xin Shiyu was surprised and amused, she didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world.
Sister Zhao was very nervous and said to Xin Shiyu: "It's really haunted, Mr. Lin's third wife was also punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall, and the haunting here scared her crazy at night, and then she committed suicide when she had mental problems." ”
"Oh. ”
Xin Shiyu knelt in the ancestral hall like this, kneeling until the sun set, kneeling until the night was dark, kneeling until she was thirsty and hungry, and as the darkness came, the inside of the ancestral hall began to become terrifying.
At this time, Sister Qing called Sister Zhao away, closed the heavy door of the ancestral hall, and left Xin Shiyu alone in the empty and gloomy ancestral hall.
The branches outside swayed, rattle, rattle, and the wind came in through the cracks in the doors and window lattices, making a piercing screeching sound, and in this environment, all the sounds became eerie and eerie.
The veil next to the table was blown away by the wind, and there seemed to be an unknown ghost hidden behind it, revealing all kinds of strange and ominous atmosphere.
Nima's, these people are really bad, starving her during the day and trying to scare her to death at night!
Xin Shiyu grew up in an orphanage since she was a child, and when she was very young, she lived alone in a cold and dark room, she was a little daring, but it was the first time she stayed in such a terrifying ancestral hall late at night.
She was scared and uneasy, so she didn't kneel at this time, ran to a corner of the ancestral hall and squatted, taking a mop casually, as if this could add a little security to herself.
Xin Shiyu leaned against the wall tightly, looking forward to the sky lighting up soon, at this moment, every minute and every second was torment for her.
At this moment, behind the table in the ancestral hall for the ancestors, there was a sound of rustling, just like the movement in a ghost movie, far and near, and from time to time it would be accompanied by a gloomy and strange laugh.
Xin Shiyu was so frightened that her scalp was about to open up, there must be something behind the table, there must be a ghost here!
Xin Shiyu ...... You pay back my husband......"
"Xin Shiyu ......"
A shrill and strange voice came from a flickering voice, "Ah!" Xin Shiyu screamed in fright, staring at the direction of the sound with big eyes.
"Bang...... Snap ......"
There was a zombie-like throbbing sound, coming slowly from behind the curtain, Xin Shiyu was only trembling with fright, her hair stood on end, and her whole body was full of shiver.
A female ghost dressed in white, with her skin spreading, and a blood-red tongue slowly appeared in Xin Shiyu's field of vision, "Xin Shiyu...... You take your life...... You rob my husband ......"
"Ahh
There are ghosts in this world, there are really ghosts!
Frightened, Xin Shiyu subconsciously held the mop in her hand tightly, and her eyes unintentionally rolled, and she found that this ghost had a shadow!
