Chapter 5: Frustration (5)
However, just this sentence that sounded normal to others, the second lady who was actually swallowing melon seeds suddenly changed her face, she spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth, and reached out to slap the maid. Mrs. Bailing was startled and waited silently.
"Second lady, what did I say wrong? I feel sorry for Mrs., I feel sorry for Miss Xin......"
The second lady frowned and interrupted her: "It's you who beat her, how many of you have the audacity to talk nonsense, just say that you can't bear Miss Xin." â
The maids were stunned. Shut up, everybody. For a moment the garden was silent. Mrs. Bailing pretended not to notice, reached out and picked up a melon seed, and thought to herself, what kind of nameless fire did the second lady make? That sentence just now sounded right, and the only daughter didn't want to send it away, isn't it right?
After all, there was an outsider like Mrs. Bailing, and it was inconvenient for the second lady to say more, so she covered it up: "Just remember." Don't say what you shouldn't say. Your wife is kind and doesn't care. I don't want to hear that. I'll hit you in the mouth again. â
Today, the second lady has an unstable temper, which can be regarded as hot, and she may not step on the thunder at once, and the maids are complaining in their hearts.
Lady Bailing spoke slowly: "What kind of disease does your lady suffer? I heard that it is a stubborn disease that is not easy to treat. â
The maids hesitated, and they all looked at the second lady.
The second lady threw away the melon seed shell in her palm, and her expression became solemn: "That's it, what happened? And the little boy, did he fall into some evil? Why did I see so many doctors and no improvement?"
The maids looked at each other: "Second lady, this matter is a long story. Master Taishi also gave an order not to tell outsiders. â
The second lady grabbed another handful of melon seeds: "Hmph." I don't know about bullying. I can hear some of them. Goldfish Clan, Inhuman, Star Tower on Taishi Mansion. â
The words were knocked on the hearts of the people.
Only Lady Bailing was an outsider who didn't know about Wind Landing City, and she thought to herself, what were they talking about?
The second lady continued: "Is it a long story? I have known your wife for much longer than you have been in the mansion for a long time. I heard that your wife was sick, and she came all the way to visit her, but she didn't even tell me the cause. Don't think I don't know, I heard a lot on the way into town. â
The maids hurriedly admitted their mistakes: "We don't dare to hide the second lady." Our wife was frightened by the fish spirit. In the back garden of the house, a goldfish that can eat people suddenly appeared one day. â
Mrs. Bailing exclaimed, goldfish eat people?
Hearing this terrible thing, the second lady's face was very gloomy: "Cannibal goldfish, the East China Sea goldfish clan that died ten years ago came to seek revenge against your lady again?"
"So you know it all. â
"Ten years ago, there was a hatred between the deputy of the Taishi Mansion and the goldfish clan, who doesn't know. â
Mrs. Bailing listened silently, she really didn't clear up this past.
At this time, the maids began to scramble to tell Mrs. Bailing and the second lady: "Recently, the city has been full of unrest, a few months ago it was rumored that there were corpses and bones into the city, when the goldfish clan was buried in the rocky mountain, it is said that there is also a fish-headed fruit tree that lures people to take the bait, if there is a passer-by who is greedy for money, picks up the gold on the ground, and approaches the devil tree, he will be killed by the goldfish undead." â
Mrs. Bailing suddenly thought that before entering the city, it seemed that Zhi'er had also found a coin that had fallen on the ground, but fortunately she asked her husband to dissuade her in time. Could it be that the one that fell on the road was a trap planted by the evil ghosts of the rocky mountain? She only felt chills all over her body.
The maids are still saying, "...... That's right, there are also forbidden goldfish in the city's waterways. Master Taishi issued a fishing ban. â
Lady Bailing said: "I said why Fenglin City is forbidden to fish at this time. I thought to myself, I can't boil some delicious fish soup for Shi Yu.
"Second Madam, you are not an outsider, let me tell you. The fish essence eats people and bites the family to death. Even the second master's only son, Gongzi, was almost bitten to death. â
The second lady hurriedly asked, "Did you bite your lady too?"
"Not really. Madame was frightened, she had never been in the yard, she had not been near the water's edge. â
"How did the little boy get sick?"
The old man immediately ordered the pond to be cleaned up, and the little boy ran in to play in the water, and was also bitten by the fish essence, so he was sick. â
The second lady was shocked: "So that's the case." No wonder you can't get a cure by inviting a famous doctor. This kind of evil art on the side of the door and left way, ordinary people's prescriptions can't cure it, and you have to find a monk to take a look at it and break through the bad luck. â
Someone pouted in the direction of the Star Tower in the mansion: "The yellow talisman and peace knot you saw in the mansion were all made by the woman in the Star Tower." â
Lady Bailing hurriedly followed the direction, and sure enough, the spire of the star tower faintly appeared in the woods.
"Does the yellow talisman work? Can you suppress the evil spirits? I ripped off the entrance to the garden just now. â
"The things of the Star Tower, they should work. Madam, don't look at everyone's faces as usual, in fact, they are all panicked. One person added, "Especially since last night, there has been a rumor in the city that has spread so fast." â
"What rumors?"
"Some people say that the disaster that the earth ghosts attacked the city thousands of years ago will happen again, and they have made a sixteen-character prophecy. â
Mrs. Bailing hurriedly asked, "What sixteen-character prophecy?"
The maid's face was pale, and her voice trembled and said, "Tianxuan Pavilion has changed, Baiyu has entered the city, and before sunset, three people have died. â
Mrs. Bailing and the second lady glanced at each other and took a cool breath.
The younger maid apparently did not believe in "superstition": "Although we have grown up listening to these stories, stories are stories, not true." â
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes, why don't you say it's true? It must be the goldfish undead who want to do something. Someone in the city has already left with their families. I heard that it was yesterday afternoon before the gate was put down, and those yin and dirty things entered the city. â
Mrs. Bailing's heart became uneasy, and she recalled that before the gate was released yesterday, she happened to go to the city gate with Zhi'er to give the Hundred Opera Troupe paperwork, and happened to meet that person who had become a desert wolf, and she helped him by pulling the five iron boxes brought by the desert wolf from Xize into the city;
"The legend of the wind coming to the city, of course I am not good at evaluating anything when I leave the country. The second lady's expression was heavy, as if she was talking to herself, "If Master Taishi didn't insist on marrying the goldfish matriarch back then, and then wiped out the whole goldfish clan, where would there be these troubles? The second son went to sea and did not return, the little son was sick, and the rest of Xin'er had to be taken away. Your lady doesn't even feel relieved. As he spoke, he looked at Lady Bailing, and his meaning couldn't be more obvious.
[Recently, it has been stuck badly::>_<::It must be done within three days...... (āļâĒ_âĒ)āļã
