CHAPTER XVI
"What do you see?" Liu Changsheng looked at several servants led by Yu Xiong vigilantly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Xiong stared at the bowl in his hand, "I saw that you made this bowl with your own hands...... medicine, but what we don't understand is, why don't you let the eldest lady drink it? She had just given birth and needed to make up for herself. ”
"So you've been eavesdropping outside......"
"Stop talking nonsense." Yu Xiong nodded behind him, and several people walked to the side of the bed and held down Lu Zhiyun's hands and feet. Yu Xiong snatched the porcelain bowl from Liu Changsheng's hand, broke Lu Zhiyun's mouth, and began to pour it in.
"Changsheng, save me." Lu Zhiyun shook her head desperately, but where was she the opponent of several middle-aged men, she could only watch the poison being swallowed by herself.
"Don't." Liu Changsheng finally reacted, he strode forward and desperately pushed away the few people who surrounded Lu Zhiyun.
Lu Zhiyun's pale face met his eyes, "Zhiyun," he trembled and stretched out his hand to caress her face, but he shrank back suddenly. Lu Zhiyun's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes widened, and two lines of blood and tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the people around her dispersed all of a sudden, Yu Xiong knelt on the ground with a snap, and kowtowed to the bed: "Miss, we have no choice, we have to follow the Lu family for a lifetime, but seeing that this business is not as good as day by day, we also have to support our family, you can go with peace of mind, Miss, let's go on the road." ”
"Yu Xiong, they are using this to blackmail you, asking you to share the Lu family's money with them?" Wu Xi asked Liu Changsheng.
"Although I didn't kill the person, but once the matter is revealed, I will be the biggest suspect, plus the confessions of several of them......" He was silent for a while, "It doesn't matter if I die, but my children and her, how should they survive in the troubled times, so I can only give one of them a sum of money and send the Lu family." Yu Xiong came to me the day before he died, yes, it was the day you came, at that time he already knew that Lu Zhiyun's resentful spirit was back for revenge, so he was ready to ask me for the last money and leave the country, but I refused. I thought that after I died, I would have to leave something for my daughter and her, after all, she was the one I failed the most in my life, but I didn't expect that Yu Xiong would come to Lu's house to steal money on the night I was hospitalized, and as a result, he lost his life. ”
"I didn't marry Lu Zhiyun until five years after her death, just to avoid people's eyes, but why does your eldest daughter hold such a grudge against you?"
"Ruomei once told me that she saw me enter her room with a bowl of things on the night of her mother's death, and since she had seen my original partner with her own eyes, she firmly believed that we had conspired to kill her mother."
"Mr. Liu, there is one more thing I haven't figured out, I know that you put a photo of Lu Zhiyun at home to hide people's eyes, but you haven't eaten meat for decades, and when you talk about this matter, your wife's face is full of sadness, these true feelings can't be pretended."
Liu Changsheng sighed deeply, "When you get home, you will understand it by taking a look for yourself." ”
Liu Changsheng opened the photo frame tremblingly, and took out the photo of Lu Zhiyun, behind the photo, there was a portrait hidden, the little boy in the portrait was only seven or eight years old, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he showed a shy smile at the outside world.
Liu Changsheng caressed the portrait lovingly, "This child was born on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a coincidence, it is the same day as her death." He was so old that he hadn't taken a picture yet, so we hired a painter and made a portrait of him. Girl, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you, since all people have souls, have you ever seen him, for so many years I have always wondered if he particularly resents me as a father, so he has never let me dream of him once. ”
"He won't," Wu Xi looked at the small thin figure that came out from behind the portrait, he showed his father the same smile as in the portrait, and then walked through the hallway, gradually disappearing into the distance, "He must have gone to another world, a place that belongs to him, clean and hateless." ”
After saying goodbye to Liu Changsheng, Wu Xi and Xu Xing left the Lu family, they just walked to the gate, but they were stopped by the old man behind them: "Girl, let me ask one more question, you once said that the rune will confuse people's minds, so, is it his own will or is it the charm of the rune that Zhiyun poisoned him?" ”
Wu Xi looked at his eager eyes, and her heart was sour, she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to look at Xu Xing for help.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Xu Xing glanced at Liu Changsheng lightly, and pulled Wu Xi out.
Wu Xi was lying on his small bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, Ren Le just called to say that her grandmother and aunt were fine, the blind man was also sent to the hospital, and Lu Wu disappeared again after the incident. However, why did she always feel that there were still some things like flowers in the fog, although they were close at hand, but they made her unpredictable.
"Did you sleep?" Xu Xing's voice sounded at the door.
"No, come in." Wu Xi quickly got up from the bed and sat down at the desk.
Xu Xing gently took the door and sat down next to her, Wu Xi suddenly became nervous, this was the first time the two were alone after kissing, she lowered her head and held her breath, and played with the corner of her clothes with her hand.
"I have something to tell you." Xu Xing looked sideways at her.
"I have it too." Wu Xi blurted out that she suddenly wanted to extend this time, because she still had some things that she hadn't thought clearly.
"You speak first."
"What's the deal with that rune?"
"It was a omamori, or amulet, and the Japanese often sought it from the temple for safety. But this Imperial Guard is different from others, its protector is the Huangquan Ghost Girl, a kind of evil god. I don't know where the Japanese soldier asked for such a talisman from, but this talisman itself is evil, and he has killed countless people all the way and devoured too many souls, so it has become a yin and evil thing. When I listened to Yu Xiong's words, I knew that the temple must be related to Lu Zhiyun, but I didn't expect that there was such an evil spirit hidden around her. Fortunately, the Heavenly Sword was powerful enough to restrain it, but when I strangled it under the sword, it used the unjust souls it devoured to form an enchantment and trapped me inside. ”
"So you gave the jade wrench to Lu Wu and asked it to inform me?"
"Yes."
"However, Yu Xiong's wife once mentioned a great immortal, she said that he used blood to drip on the threshold of each room and seal the exit of the Niangniang Temple, and later I heard the blind man also mention him? Who is he? ”
