14. Chapter XIV
The withered leaves were trampled under the feet of an ordinary-looking old woman, and those leaves were obviously green new leaves, but when the old man passed by, they inexplicably trembled from the branches, and suddenly turned yellow in the air until they withered, and when the leaves fell to the ground, they were already completely black, and they looked very ominous.
In the late spring, the old man was wearing a black cotton coat, holding a bamboo cane in one hand and a strange black and gold bell in the other.
But everyone knows that this old man who suddenly appeared is definitely not a good person, and the ringing rings he heard a few times before must have been caused by her.
"The two of you are not those Taoist monks who are hypocritical all day long, why do you want to come to this troubled water?" the old woman covered her mouth and coughed a few times.
"Why do you seem to have heard the sound?" After Bi Yuewu heard the words of the comer, she tilted her head with some curiosity to see the old woman clearly.
Zhuang Fengjian raised his eyebrows slightly, hugged his arms and said, "Of course you have heard, didn't you buy your hat from her?"
"My hat is not expensive, so don't worry about it. The old woman raised her head and smiled honestly with her scattered yellow teeth, what she said was exactly what she said to Bi Yuewu in the afternoon.
"What little lady?" Bi Yuewu blushed, waved her hand, couldn't help but jumped back, and just stepped on Zhuang Feng's feet.
She jumped to the side again in fright, she really didn't mean to.
"Where's your hat?" Zhuang Feng didn't care that the little zombie stepped on him, but he still looked at people with a stinky face and nostrils.
"Ah......" The little zombie realized that she had lost something that the Earthworm King had given her.
The little zombie jumped left and right, patted his head and remembered: "When you took me into Wang's house before, didn't you use a wind spell and a strong wind rolled around you? And then I see you rushing forward vigorously, and you don't dare to mention it. โ
"What are you calling me?" Zhuang Feng didn't seem to care about the fate of the hat, he stared at Bi Yuewu expressionlessly, and his bottomless black eyes made her heart tremble.
โ...... The Lord ...... "If she were still a mortal, she would have been sweating profusely at this moment, and the last word had been in her mouth for a long time, and she could not spit it out."
She happened to see a pair of cold eyes shot at the Taoist priest on the side, obviously a little wolf bรจi and a female ghost fighting, and she had to stare at a pair of peach blossom eyes and coldly try to kill her with her eyes!
She turned her head and stopped looking over there, she stiffened her neck and puffed out her mouth to confront Zhuang Feng, is she still afraid of a worm essence?
"I'll spare you this time. Zhuang Feng stopped the little zombie behind him and looked at the old woman.
"What if the deity says you have to wade into this troubled water?" he squinted, revealing an aura of "what can you do with me?"
"The mana of the adults is strong, so they are naturally not afraid of us sideways, but after entering the courtyard, they have not made a move, so there must be a reason why they can't make a move. The old woman turned to Bi Yuewu and smiled kindly, "This little zombie girl, presumably she is not willing to let her resentment become delirious." โ
"The old man of the Wang family has an enmity with us, and God cannot repay good and evil, so we have to take revenge ourselves. She put away her smile and said lightly.
"Don't talk nonsense!" the Taoist priest interjected coldly.
"Oh, why don't you tell us about your grievances, and if I'm in a good mood to hear it, I might let you go. Zhuang Feng looked at the black dead leaves on the ground with an uncertain expression.
The old woman knocked on the bamboo cane and said, "In that case, don't dislike the old body, and listen to me, an old immortal, tell you this story." โ
"Twenty years ago, the richest person in Meicheng was the Li family, who not only monopolized the salt and rice in Meicheng, but also heard that they had a close relationship with the Jue royal family. The Li family has no children, only one daughter. Before this woman got married, there was an endless stream of people who came to propose. Everyone knows that once they marry the daughter of the Li family, the Li family's family business will belong to them, what a cost-effective deal, and their appearance and temperament are naturally not in their consideration. โ
"The current lord of the Wang family, Wang Que, was still a poor scholar at that time, and he didn't have much ink in his stomach, but he looked good. However, there are many suitors for the daughter of the Li family, and his good appearance is not noticed, so naturally he is not noticed by Miss Li. โ
He was not reconciled, and just happened to hear that there was a witch in the south who would make people love him. He sold his property and went to the south to find this woman who knew witchcraft. He quickly found it, but the shrine maiden was reluctant to give him the spell. โ
"This spell is a spell that has been passed down from generation to generation by this shrine maiden family, and it can only be used once in a lifetime, and they have always kept it for their sweethearts. โ
Wang Que could not get the spell, and he was unwilling to let go, he saw that the witch was twenty-eight years old, living alone in the deep mountains and old forests, so he had a plan. He used rhetoric to convince the witch that he fell in love with the witch at first sight, and said that after the witch used the spell, he would marry the daughter of the Li family and take charge of the money from the Li family, and he would immediately divorce the daughter of the Li family and marry the witch. The witch was simple-minded, so she believed Wang Quan's nonsense and gave herself to him. โ
Later, the witch cast a spell to make the daughter of the Li family fall in love with Wang Que, and watched Wang Que enter the Li Mansion. On the day she got married, she sat alone by the old tree behind the Li Mansion and cried all night. โ
"Since the witch is so powerful, why don't you let the princess like that Wang Quan, the princess is obviously richer and more powerful. Bi Yuewu interjected.
After the old woman was interrupted, her face suddenly became unsightly, and she covered her mouth and coughed twice to regain her original kindness.
"The king lacks cowardice like a mouse, and even if he has a thief's heart, he has no thief's courage. What's more, on the side of the imperial city, how many talented people are different, he is naturally afraid of finding out. A gust of wind blew, and the old woman curled up, as if she was afraid of the cold.
She trembled and continued, as if she wanted to vent the resentment she had hidden for years.
Later, Wang Que took over the Li Mansion step by step, and secretly killed his father-in-law, but he did not follow what he promised the witch before, divorced the daughter of the Li family, and took the witch into the door. โ
The witch already knew what was going on, but she still wanted to give the king a chance. She went to Wang Que and asked Wang Que to divorce the daughter of the Li family, so that she could not blame him for lying to her in the past. โ
Wang Que was somehow fascinated by the daughter of the Li family, and he had a big quarrel with the witch maiden and asked her to leave. At this time, the daughter of the Li family, who was already pregnant with Liujia, who was hiding aside and eavesdropping, knew what had happened, and she had a panic and had a difficult birth. โ
"In the end, the big ones died, and the little ones remained. When Wang Que learned the news, he pretended to know that he was wrong and begged the witch to reconcile, but handed the witch poisoned tea. โ
The witch was overjoyed and didn't notice that Wang Que was nervous, and she didn't realize that something was wrong until she drank it. โ
"Although the poison is very poisonous and seals the throat with blood, the witch will naturally not die like ordinary people when she learns witchcraft since she was a child. She painfully pushed Wang Que away and wanted to escape, only then did she realize how many wrong things she had done naively. โ
"That vicious woman resented me and snatched my newborn daughter and wanted to use her to get revenge on me. A man's voice came from inside the house.
With a "cluck", the door opened from the inside, and the gossip array disappeared.
The old man of the Wang family looked at the female ghost who was fighting with the Taoist priest with a painful face, but asked the old woman: "The witch in the story, or I should call you Ran Xin." This girl is my daughter?"
