Chapter Fifty-Six: Midnight of Soul Return

"Elegy, you just go home and forget it, and let your uncle put the money on the card for you in the future. Why do you want to take a leave of absence again?"

Nie Elegy stuck out his tongue, also with a hint of helplessness.

"No way, my adoptive father is seven today, so of course I have to go back, otherwise my family members will have to say that I am a white-eyed wolf again. ”

According to legend, the soul of the deceased will be accompanied by a bull head and a horse face that night, and return to the place where he lived before his death for final remembrance, and the soul of the deceased can also move at home as before.

Nie Wangge specially asked his grandmother about the taboos here, and only after understanding it did he dare to go home.

When Nie Elegy arrived home, he saw a bowl of water and a bowl of grain in front of the house. She knew it was all custom, so she went straight in.

Grandma said that on this day there would be a ghost messenger to escort the souls of the dead home, so some tribute should be placed. However, beef, horse meat and dog meat are not allowed.

The family is ready for these things.

Nie Elegy had never encountered such a thing, and if he hadn't asked his grandmother in advance, I'm afraid something would have gone wrong.

The first seven soul nights are particularly exquisite, and grandma said that she would not let Nie Elegy show up. Because she has yin and yang eyes, she may collide with the yin difference of sending souls.

In order to avoid these things from happening, Nie Elegy gave a hasty explanation and entered the house. Although Nie Jun treated her badly before her death, she would not let his soul be disturbed after death.

The custom here is that after preparing a table of meals, everyone has to go to bed, and if they can't sleep, they have to hide under the covers.

Because the people here believe that if the soul of the deceased is allowed to see his family, it will make him remember, and it will affect his reincarnation.

Sure enough, after preparing the meal, everyone went into their rooms together.

However, Nie Elegy is still curious, because although there is this custom, it is unknown whether there will be a soul coming back.

It was getting dark, and all the people in the house were in the room without going out, and the whole house was empty, as if there was no one.

Nie Elegy's mother was afraid that she would be afraid by herself, so she took her to her room.

Nie Wangge looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, but he actually had mixed feelings. Although she hasn't felt sorry for herself for so many years, many times she defends herself.

Hearing their conversation that time, she personally admitted that it was Nie Jun who forced her to snub her for so many years.

She still remembers that after being beaten by Nie Jun again, her mother secretly rubbed herself with medicine.

"Elegy, don't go out tonight, let's sleep here with Mom. ”

"Mom, I can't sleep, I just want to know what happened back then, can you tell me?"

Zhou Yuan was silent, probably not wanting to say it. But seeing Nie Elegy's eyes eager to know, she still said.

"Your father and I actually love each other sincerely. At that time, the two families had already decided to get married. At that time, I had already found out that I was pregnant with you in my belly, so I came to Nie's house to discuss the matter of advancing the wedding date. ”

When Nie Elegy saw her mother say this, she showed a girlish smile, and knew that she and her father must have loved each other very much.

She had never seen her mother smile when she mentioned Nie Jun.

"That day, the Nie family agreed to advance the marriage, because most of the relatives of the Nie family are there, even if I am pregnant with you, I have to fulfill the customs of the Nie family. This custom is called toasting. ”

Nie Elegy knew that this habit in the family was to marry a daughter-in-law into the Nie family, and on the day when the day was completely set, all the elders must be toasted.

Although her mother was pregnant with herself at the time, the Nie family was a family that paid attention to rules and etiquette, so it was not exempt.

"I didn't drink well, and I didn't drink two glasses before I got drunk and unconscious. Your father drank the rest of the wine for me. I was so drunk that I didn't know your dad was still toasting at the table. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Elegy probably also knew the truth of the matter, but she didn't interject, but listened silently.

"When I woke up the next morning, I found me and Nie Jun lying on the same bed, and all of this was bumped into by the Nie family. I know he's always at odds with your dad, so he's probably doing all this to me for that reason......"

Although so many years have passed, Zhou Yuan is still haunted. Her tone was also filled with sadness.

"The Nie family thought that I was inappropriate, and I seduced Nie Jun while pregnant with a child. Your father also cut off contact with the Nie family because of this incident. Because I didn't have the face to face your father again, but I still had you in my belly, I was finally arranged by the Nie family to marry Nie Jun. ”

Nie Elegy heard all this from his mother's own mouth, and remembered Nie Jun's previous abuse of her, and he was angry for a while.

"Is that what he told you to do to me before?"

"I want to blame my mother for being cowardly. Although your father still takes care of you, he is only your uncle in name, and he can't take care of us too much. Nie Jun is your recognized father, so he has the opportunity to coerce me. ”

When she said this, Zhou Yuan's tears completely broke the embankment. She can marry someone she doesn't love, but what a torture it is to treat her own daughter like this. But if she didn't, her daughter's end could be even more tragic.

Nie Elegy patted her on the back gently, and her eyes also flashed with tears.

Although she knew the truth, she felt even more that Nie Jun's death was simply deserved. If it weren't for him back then, his father and mother would not have loved him, and he would not have recognized the thief as his father, let alone have such a gloomy childhood.

Suddenly, a terrible scream rang out in the hallway.

Nie Elegy felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly opened the door and went out. But she remembered telling her mother not to go out.

Although Zhou Yuan was worried, she knew that her mother had taught Nie Elegy a lot of things in this regard, so there should be nothing wrong.

When Nie Elegy went out, he saw a servant lying on the ground at a glance, and there was a look of fear on her face, it seemed that she was scared to death.

Although there was such a sound outside, today was Nie Jun's night of resurrection, and everyone did not dare to come out in the room.

But Nie Elegy is not afraid of these. Jiang Chen, worried about her safety, also came to her side, which made her even more emboldened.

Jiang Chen and Nie Elegy walked down the corridor and arrived at the place where they had made a table of food for Nie Jun.

I can't tell if the food on the table has decreased, but the only thing that can be seen is that the chopsticks on the table seem to have been touched.

Nie Elegy and Jiang Chen were both able to see ghosts, but neither of them noticed anything unusual here.

"Could it really be that he came back on the day of the night of the soul and then made a big fuss about the Nie family. ”

"On the night of the soul, there will be four ghosts following, and under normal circumstances, nothing can happen. And Nie Jun committed suicide, so it stands to reason that he can't have such a strong obsession to kill someone. ”

The general returned to the servant and watched carefully beside her.

I was probably in a hurry to see the situation outside, so I ignored it. He was just about to turn the servant's body over when he heard someone on the other side of the corridor calling for help.

"This is my grandma's voice!"

Nie Elegy took Jiang Chen and ran to her grandmother's room. But the moment I opened the door, I saw that she had lost her breath. And there are no obvious wounds.

Grandpa Nie Elegy, who was also in the room, didn't have anything to do, and was still sitting honestly. Because he was already delirious, it was useless to ask him anything.

"Elegy, do you remember if there was a little white powder on the side of that servant just now?"

Nie Wangge looked at the powder beside his grandmother, and then thought about the corpse he had just seen, and nodded lightly.

Indeed, there was indeed white powder near the servant's body just now, because Nie Jun had passed away, so the servants in the villa had to wear black clothes for a month.

Originally, the powder was not very conspicuous when it fell on the ground, but it was set off by the black clothes and became visible at a glance.

At first, Nie Elegy didn't know what it was, but when he saw that there were also these here, he felt that there was a connection between the two.

Nie Elegy actually admires the Nie family a lot, although they usually seem to be a happy family, but when something really happens, they hide in the room and don't dare to come out.

But that's fine, no one can disturb her and Jiang Chen to check the scene.

There was nothing at the scene except for the white powder I had just seen. Jiang Chen simply called Hou Qing as well.

Hou Qing is very sensitive to these things. So he sniffed it and knew it was something akin to poison.

This powder has no taste, and as long as it enters the mouth, it will penetrate into the skin and kill a person in tens of seconds.

"It's just that this thing ......" Hou Qing seemed to hesitate about something.

"What's wrong with this thing?"

"The reason why this thing can kill people so quickly is because it is made from the corpse oil of the drought. ”

Nie Elegy is really about to be unbearable, why is it this drought everywhere?!

"Drought was originally a woman, so the corpse oil yin qi on her body was the heaviest, and the potions made from her corpse oil had a strong effect. ”

However, Nie Elegy didn't feel like she had done this today.

Being able to kill two people in a row in just a few minutes, although it is fast, must be someone who understands the inner workings of the villa. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find her grandmother's room accurately.

And even if she might have found a room at random, it would be impossible for her to successfully escape from this room within tens of seconds. I knew that the rooms here were all specially treated, even if Jiang Chen wanted to get out of here, it would be impossible for tens of seconds.

Nie Elegy told Jiang Chen and Hou Qing his thoughts, but he could only rule out that this person was not a drought.
