28. Chapter XXVIII
Xiao Man is a Qinglou woman, when she was young, her family was poor and couldn't open the pot, so her father had to sell her ruthlessly and exchange money to buy food for her younger brother. Originally, they all said that they were going to sell her to a big family to be a maid, but I didn't expect that the tooth woman was black-hearted, and when she saw that she was a little beautiful, she sold her to the Qinglou.
The old bustard in the Qinglou is a gaudy woman around forty years old, at first Xiao Man resisted violently, and the old bustard asked the turtle slave to whip her with a thin rattan whip, no blood, but hot pain.
Xiao Man escaped several times and was caught, and each time she was covered in scars, so she no longer thought about escaping, she accepted her fate.
She grew up, and it was about a year after she was trapped in the Qinglou, and the old bustard forced her to pick up the guests at the age of twelve.
Thus began her tragic short life.
Xiao Man lived a miserable life until she was twenty-one years old, and she fell in love with a man very cliché.
The man is a scholar, and he met Xiao Man when he went to the Qinglou with his friends to drink flower wine, and then the two slowly became familiar with and fell in love.
When Xiao Man knew that the man lacked the entanglement to go to Beijing to catch the exam, he took the initiative to take out the silver taels he had saved for many years and gave it to the man, and the man accepted it after several pushbacks.
Before the man went to Beijing to catch the exam, he promised Xiaoman that he would come back to marry her as his wife once he won the exam, and she waited with joy, and when she was twenty-six years old, the man still did not return.
One day, a wealthy merchant with an ugly appearance and a fat belly gave the bustard a silver ticket and then got her deed of sale.
The rich merchant resorted to means to torture her to the point where her life was worse than death.
One night, in despair, Xiao Man jumped into a well and died holding a vase—the only thing the man left her, which he said was his family's heirloom and was to be left to his daughter-in-law for safekeeping.
A year after Xiao Man's death, a middle-aged man went to Beijing, and not long after he became the treasurer of "Zhenbao Zhai", something strange happened in the capital.
......
General's Palace.
Bi Hui led Zhu Yuanyu and Wang Jinyi towards the "Fuqu Pavilion".
"Fuqu Pavilion" is the main house of the general's mansion, where the general Bi Hong and the general's wife Ma Miaomiao live, and the general's wife suddenly fainted when she checked the account book in the room.
When the three of them entered the "Fuqu Pavilion", the chief butler of the General's Mansion looked at Bi Hui with a sad face, "Young Master, these two sons are ......?"
The chief butler is now fifty years old, and he can be said to be loyal to the general's mansion, and he is even more loyal to the general when he is a child. Now that the general's wife is critically ill, he doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so when he saw the young master with two richly dressed sons about to enter the "Fuqu Pavilion", he knew that the young master would not do anything dangerous to the general's wife, but he still spoke out to stop it.
Bi Hui also understands the personality of the big housekeeper, so he didn't mind, he stopped, looked at the big housekeeper and said as if explaining: "Steward Chen, these two sons are not outsiders, they are trustworthy. ”
Seeing that the big housekeeper still looked hesitant, Bi Hui added, "My leg is only this son who can stand up again." As he spoke, a hand was placed on Zhu Yuanyu's shoulder.
The big butler's eyes widened in surprise, Rao is he had already experienced a lot of experience after big and small events, but he was still shocked by Bi Hui's words.
The chief butler said secretly: Could it be that this son is a miracle doctor? But this is too young!
"It's, it's really......" The butler said excitedly, but he didn't know how to express what he was thinking.
At this time, Zhu Yuanyu didn't care about their conversation, and looked at the surrounding landscape intently. They were in the front yard of the "Fuqu Pavilion", and he found that the main courtyard of the "Fuqu Pavilion", that is, the room where the general and the general's wife slept, was actually covered with a layer of black smoke.
His guess was right, the General's Mansion was indeed a powerful monster.
It's just that I don't know what kind of monster it is, and it can ignore the general's evil spirit and assassinate the general's wife.
With this thick black smoke, as long as the monster wants to harm people, ordinary people can't resist it. The general's wife may be because she often comes into contact with the general on weekdays, so she is contaminated with the general's evil spirit, so she was not killed and lost her life all of a sudden.
If you want to get rid of this haunting monster, you also need to know what its body is.
"Brother Bi, I know it's a bit presumptuous, but can you let me go in and have a look?"
Zhu Yuanyu's cautious look made Bi Hui's heart lift up instantly.
"Yuanyu, what do you know?"
"I need to go in and check to be sure, the only thing I know for sure is...... The general's wife is dying. ”
Bi Hui pursed his mouth, the hand holding the cane tightened, and he pinched it before relaxing, "Then I'll trouble you, Yuanyu." ”
Zhu Yuanyu nodded.
Bi Hui looked at the big butler again, "Steward Chen, please go in and report it." ”
The life of the general's wife was at stake, and the chief housekeeper didn't dare to delay, so he immediately went to report it.
Then the general Bi Hong walked out.
Bi Hong's appearance is very rough, and his burly figure makes him imposing, and he looks very majestic. It may be that something happened to the general's wife, so he didn't smile and looked at Zhu Yuanyu with sharp eyes.
It was probably the big butler who said something to him, so he immediately found the right person by feeling.
"Do you have a way to heal my lady?"
Wang Jinyi, who was standing next to Zhu Yuanyu, shuddered, he felt that the current general was like a fierce beast, as if he could tear him apart at any time.
Different from the noble momentum of King Xian, the general's momentum is more sharp, after all, he has killed people on the battlefield, and there is a bad atmosphere, and the timid may be scared by the general's glare.
But who is Zhu Yuanyu?
His experience has made him able to face any momentum head-on, calmly deal with all kinds of emergencies, and a big living person can not be more fierce than a powerful evil thing.
"General, there are always many things in this world that people can't imagine, and if you can't see or touch, it doesn't mean that there is no zài. Zhu Yuanyu meant something.
Bi Hong's two thick eyebrows furrowed fiercely, "What do you mean?"
Bi Hui, who was also standing next to Zhu Yuanyu, looked at him thoughtfully.
Zhu Yuanyu thought about it and said, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"
Bi Hong was puzzled, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Wang Jinyi understood what his cousin was going to say, if there is a Buddha in the world, and the Buddha is positive, then there will inevitably be a negative side, and it is self-evident what the negative side is.
At the same time, Bi Hui seemed to have guessed what Zhu Yuanyu meant, but he was not very sure, like his father Bi Hong, he was also an atheist.
At this time, the big housekeeper is a look of "I understand it all the way it is", don't look at the big housekeeper looks like a serious and honest person, in fact, he is a full superstitious element, thanks to his mother, he has been growing up in worshiping ghosts and gods since he was a child, and he still has gods in his home.
"Childe, do you mean...... Madame, she ......," the butler asked in a nervous whisper, "is that the one who is doing the trouble?"
Bi Hong glared at the big butler sternly, and said angrily: "Do you think that Madame's coma is a ghost?" Then he stared at Zhu Yuanyu, but found that the other party had a serious face, and the word "ridiculous" in his mouth was suddenly speechless.
