CHAPTER XXIV
Almost every morning when he woke up, Lu Sheng could feel his muscles getting stronger and stronger, and his body getting heavier and heavier. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The price is that every meal he eats is at least twice as much as before, and it is full of big fish and meat, as well as expensive medicinal soup every day.
This expense alone is enough to bankrupt the average family.
Lu Sheng did not delay, all the way into the city, and came to the gate of the road with a familiar car.
As soon as the porter at the door saw him, he immediately greeted him.
"The eldest prince is back!"
"Yes. Lu Sheng casually answered and strode into the house.
The atmosphere in the house is a little strange.
But when the people who passed by saw him coming back, they all came to say hello.
"The eldest prince is back!!"
Someone shouted.
"The eldest prince! The eldest prince is back!!"
"It's the eldest prince!"
One by one, the maids of the family ran out one after another. There was a hint of surprise on his face, like a person with no master of the six gods suddenly found a lifesaver.
"Where's Daddy?"
"The head of the house told you to come right over. ”
A maid ran over and quickly answered.
"Yes. ”
Lu Sheng took the knife off and carried it behind his back.
All the way to the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard was quiet, eerily quiet, even deserted.
Some of the maids were all in bad spirits, and they greeted him closely.
I didn't see it from a distance, and I was still talking and chatting on my own.
There was a voice drifting in the wind from afar.
"Last night, there was that kind of woman's crying in Sister Yu's room again...."
"I've heard it too, it's like it's coming from far away, and a family member is passing by, but I don't see anyone in the room at all, not even a shadow..."
"Ouch, don't say it, it's scary. ”
"What kind of female ghost is it?"
"Don't chew on the root of your tongue! ”
When Lu Sheng passed the stone bridge with a knife on his back, he heard the maids of the family chatting and talking.
From the chats of these people, the lotus room where Sister Yu is located in the backyard has become the biggest forbidden area in Lufu.
No one needed to warn them, and no one dared to approach them at all.
He was silent, and combined with the content of the letter, his mood suddenly became heavier.
Finally, what he had been fearing happened.
The world is already full of crises. For all sorts of weird things. Ordinary people have no power to resist at all.
What he has been worried about is that one day, everything that happened to the Xu family suddenly came to Lufu.
At that time, he will use what to block and what to save himself.
What can I do to save my family in this life?
"Female ghost, I want to see what female ghost can block my knife!" A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Lu Sheng was angry in his heart, and strode towards the lobby of the inner courtyard.
He's been accumulating for so long, isn't it just for this moment?
Walking into the lobby of the inner courtyard, Lu Sheng saw at a glance Lu Quan'an, who was sitting on the main seat, and there were Erniang and Sanniang and others who came in a hurry.
The rest of the younger siblings, cousins and cousins are all there.
It was the first time that a large family of people came so together in a time when it was not a festival.
Everyone saw Lu Sheng carrying a knife on his back and walking into the door with a burly figure.
Lu Quanan's face also showed a hint of joy. But immediately there was a hint of melancholy.
"Xiaosheng, you ..... Alas, you shouldn't have come back..."
"Dad, tell me, what happened? Sister Yu died?"
Lu Sheng didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
He has been practicing his sword every day recently, and with the circulation of black evil qi, there is still a trace of fierce qi left on his body.
When everyone saw this, they remembered that Brother Sheng had killed two extremely vicious wanted criminals before, and this was a ruthless character who could kill murderers.
Thinking about it this way, everyone's originally panicked mood was suddenly relieved slightly.
"I'll tell you. Erniang Liu Cuiyu sighed.
Lu Sheng found a place on the right side and sat down.
"Erniang, please speak. ”
Liu Cuiyu thought about it and sorted out her thoughts.
"This matter has to start with the sudden death of Sister Yu a while ago. ”
She sighed again.
"That day, someone from Sister Yu's family came to me and asked me if Sister Yu had returned, and I said I had returned early.
The man said that the family had not been able to wait for anyone, so he came to the house to look for someone. ”
"I was also puzzled, and I was about to send someone out to look for it, when I immediately received news from the yamen that Sister Yu had died in an alley for several days, and her body was hard. ”
"Later, I paid for Sister Yu's funeral.
But only two days have passed since this incident, and another person in the house has disappeared. I sent out to look for it, and found the body in another river outside the city. ”
Liu Cuiyu said this, her face was full of sadness.
"From that day on, one person would go missing every day in the house. It's the fifth day.
And every night, the lotus room where Sister Yu used to live would come out of the woman's cry, if there was none, go in to find it, but no one can be found.
There were originally five people living in that room, but now three of the five people are missing....."
When Lu Sheng heard this, his face was already gloomy.
"What do the people of the Yamen say?"
"What else can I say? I found nothing, and then I just found an excuse to excuse myself and left. ”
Lu Chenxin couldn't help but interject, his tone full of resentment.
"I asked your uncle to send soldiers to keep vigil, but it was still useless, when there were many people, the sound would not appear, and it would only be heard when there were fewer people. Lu Quanan shook his head.
"Gently?" Lu Sheng suddenly found that Lu Gently was not there.
She ran to Zheng's house alone. Something happened to the Zheng family. Lu Quanan said helplessly.
"Something happened to the Zheng family too?"
Lu Sheng's heart tightened.
"But it's not our kind of thing, but we met the robbers, robbed their caravan halfway, and the girl didn't know where the clues came from, and suspected that the robbers were related to the Xu family tragedy, so I went out to investigate yesterday and haven't come back yet. ”
Erniang Liu Cuiyu replied.
Lu Sheng snorted coldly.
"This girl is becoming more and more disobedient.
In addition, even if this thing in the house is not a female ghost, if a kung fu master is good at light skills, he can do this kind of thing!
What about Uncle Zhao? What did he say?"
"Your Uncle Zhao and several uncles have been requisitioned to the Yamen to help in a place outside the city. Speaking of which, I haven't come back yet. Lu Quanan replied.
"In other words, that person dared to come to the mansion to pretend to be a ghost while Uncle Zhao was not there?"
As soon as Lu Sheng opened his mouth, he characterized this incident as man-made, not some demon or monster.
Whether this is the work of demons or monsters, it can only be man-made!
Otherwise, the huge road family is afraid that it will fall apart.
Lu Quanan also immediately understood this truth and nodded in response.
"So, it's really artificial..."
"Sister Yu's lotus room has a woman crying at night, right? I'll go live in that room tonight. Let's see if anyone is missing. ”
Lu Sheng opened his mouth to make arrangements.
"But it's a small victory...."
Lu Quanan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Sheng raising his hand.
"Dad, don't worry, I know it in my heart. ”
Lu Sheng said calmly.
Regardless of whether the other party is a ghost or a human, since it is afraid of many people, it can always find a way to solve it.
If you can't even get over such a small hurdle in front of you, then if you encounter the ruthless character of the Xu family who destroys the whole family overnight without saying a word, wouldn't you have to be slaughtered by others?
"Small victory..... You have to be careful...."
Liu Cuiyu said worriedly.
The rest of them looked relieved.
Since Brother Sheng, who killed the wanted criminal, said that it was man-made, it is very likely that it was man-made.
With Brother Sheng here, I believe that the gangster will definitely be caught.
Lu Chenxin, Lu Tianyang, Lu Yingying and others spread the news as soon as the meeting ended.
Soon, in the evening, everyone in the Lu Mansion knew that the eldest prince Lu Sheng was back, and he also judged that this matter was man-made!
I also decided to go to the lotus room for a vigil tonight.
As soon as this news came out, the entire mansion immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The road has been too tight these days. It's like a taut string that can break at any moment.
For a while, everyone felt a lot safer.
Although the crisis has not yet been resolved, the previous atmosphere of panic has also eased a lot.
At least the eldest prince Lu Sheng stood in front and lived in the lotus room in person. If there is something, there must be a big prince in front of him.
After inquiring in detail about the process before and after the incident, Lu Sheng immediately asked people to tidy up the bed furnishings in the lotus room, and he would live in it tonight.
The rest of the people persuaded him for a while, and when they saw that he did not waver, they could only give up.
Lu Sheng let Xiao Xiao go back to his original bedroom, he carried a knife alone, brought a jar of medicinal tea and walked into the lotus room.
The lotus room, the lotus leaf room, and the lotus root room are all places for the maids in the house to live. next to each other.
Among them, the lotus room is located in the center.
Lu Sheng came to the lotus house with a knife, and there was no one in the courtyards on both sides. Apparently scared away by the crying in the middle of the night.
He pushed the door open, and the inside was cleaned, and the bed was set.
The food box was placed on the stone table in the small courtyard.
Other than that, there wasn't a single person inside.
There were still some pink marks on the gray-white stone table, which seemed to have been left by the fat powder sprinkled by the woman.
Lu Sheng glanced at the bedroom.
The bedroom and the courtyard are like two square boxes connected together, the bedroom is divided into five single rooms, side by side, the door is the corridor, the corridor is the door is the small courtyard, there is a well in the yard, and the stone table and stone bench are placed by the well.
Lu Sheng sat on the edge of the well, opened the dark red food box, brought out the side dishes in stacks, and set up a stone table.
Three dishes and one soup.
Add piping hot white rice.
Lu Sheng took the chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.
A meal was eaten for nearly half an hour. He swept away all the food before he stopped and hiccuped.
It was getting late, and Lu Sheng lit candles and lanterns to illuminate the courtyard and Sister Yu's bedroom.
The five bedrooms are displayed side by side, Sister Yu's room is in the innermost, the light is very cloudy, and the sound from the outside is very small.
Lu Sheng ate, walked through the corridor with a knife, and entered the room.
The room was furnished with a dark wooden bed, a square table, and three chairs.
On top of that, there's a wardrobe and a dresser.
Behind the dresser was the window, which was now ajar to reveal the dark alley outside.
The candlelight shone down from the desk on the right hand side of the door, illuminating most of the room, but it only set off the half-open wooden window even darker.
Lu Sheng walked over and looked out of the window.
The alley outside the wooden window is facing a side gate of the road house.
Looking out of the window, you can clearly see a straight alley leading to a somewhat desolate white side door.
