Chapter 22: Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump (3)
Late at night, Lu Liu finished making the bed and said, "Miss, you can rest." ”
Lin suddenly nodded, put down the book in his hand, and came to the bedside, Lu Liu took off her coat, and said in a low voice: "The slave maid quietly went around just now, and there was nothing abnormal. ”
The calmer it was, the more abnormal it became, Lin suddenly nodded and didn't speak, Heyi lay on the bed, Lu Liu walked to the table, extinguished the candle, and the room fell into darkness.
The silence of the night was terrifying, except for the soft moonlight pouring through the window, everything seemed to stand still.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, like the footsteps of a cat, Green Willow stood up quietly, she pricked up her ears, the footsteps got closer and closer, and then, the door was gently pushed open, Green Willow hurriedly hid behind the door, holding a wooden stick in his hand, carefully staring at the person who appeared.
As if the man hadn't seen her, he went straight to the inner room, and the green willow swallowed his saliva and nervously followed.
At this time, she was not asleep at all, she had already heard the footsteps, quietly waiting for the arrival of the person, sure enough, she did not disappoint, in the darkness, a shadow rushed straight towards her, at this time, when the green willow behind her suddenly picked up the wooden stick and was about to knock it, the person suddenly turned his head.
"Boom!" The candles were lit, and the whole room seemed much brighter, and the green willow kicked the tied Chun'er, and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, what should this person do?" She wants to strangle you? ”
Lin suddenly glanced at Mama Du, who was holding a basin of water on the side, smiled and walked to Chun'er, who was covered in water, squatted down and picked up the necklace around her neck, and said casually: "How can a little girl who has less than two taels a month have such valuable things on her body?" Mama, the ancestral precepts stipulate that if there are thieves in the house, what should I do? ”
"Chop off her hands." Mama Du said expressionlessly, "Then throw it out to feed the dog." ”
When Chun'er heard that she was going to be thrown out to feed the dog, she trembled with fear, "Little, miss, this chain is not for the slave maid, it is for the second lady to send the slave maid." ”
Lin suddenly snorted coldly, "When did Erniang be so generous and give away such beautiful things." She glanced at the green willow, who held a thick stick with thorns and raised it in front of Chun'er: "Say, who sent it?" Don't tell the truth, be careful that I beat you into a meatloaf. ”
At this moment, Chun'er was trembling all over, her forehead was covered with sweat the size of beans, and her back was also wet, and she couldn't tell whether it was water or sweat.
Lin suddenly looked at her look of surprise and doubt, and secretly felt to himself, it seems that this person is not used to doing bad things, and in a few words, he is scared like this.
"The slave and maid are all true, and this chain is indeed given to the slave by the second lady."
Lin suddenly glanced at the jumping candle flame and smiled gently, "Do you know why Erniang gave you a necklace?" Do you really think she gave it to you to buy you? ”
Chun'er's eyelids jumped, and she pursed her lips tightly.
Lin Ran raised her face slightly, and couldn't help sighing: "There was once a maid in the house who bought Erniang's life, but in less than two days, she died violently, do you know why?" Because she was wearing the same necklace as you at the time, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? ”
Chun'er was shocked, she didn't even think of this, her lips trembled and turned white, the second lady was trying to kill her.
Lin suddenly smiled: "This necklace is coated with a poison called hook kiss, and after a long time, there will be neuromuscular paralysis, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms such as difficulty breathing and collapse within seven days." Chun'er's face was full of shock when she heard this, and she lay on the ground and kowtowed violently: "Miss, please, save the slave!" The slave doesn't want to die! ”
"Do you think she'll spare you when you're done?" Lin suddenly whispered softly, and Chun'er shuddered, "So, during that time, you secretly poisoned my mother's food?" How much does it add up? ”
Chun'er's sweat rolled down her forehead, trembling with horror.
Lin Ran smiled slightly, "If you don't want to be a substitute ghost, you should know how to do it, right?" ”
Chun'er gritted her teeth, thinking that her life was still in Lin Ranran's hands, and she made up her mind and said: "It was the second lady who sent the slave maid to do this, she said that as long as the slave maid can get rid of the eldest lady, she will give the slave and maid a lot of money, so the father's medicine money will be settled." ”
"Why are you so stupid, why do you even believe the words of the second lady?" Lu Liu, who was standing next to him, sneered disdainfully, "It's a shame that you have stayed by the eldest lady's side for so many years." ”
Chun'er heard Luliu mention the eldest lady, kowtowed and said with tears on her face: "Please, miss, the slave maid is sorry that the eldest lady is not sorry for her death, but the slave maid still has a family to support, please go around them!" ”
"Hmph, what do I want your life for?" Lin Ran smiled coldly, "Your life is not enough to pay my mother and brother ten lives, I heard that you are good at cat ghost Gu, could it be that you were really possessed just now?" ”
Chun'er lowered her head and said: "The slave maid will indeed make the cat ghost Gu, but this kind of Gu poison is very sinister, if it is possessed, it will absorb a large amount of the other party's vitality, and in serious cases, it will vomit blood and die, the slave and maid thought about the good of the eldest lady, but in the end they still did not cast the spell." ”
"Hmph, count on your conscience." Green Willow snorted coldly on the side, she has also heard of it among the people, the caster will kill the cat, use a spell to take away the soul, and sacrifice at midnight until she can let it out to harm people, she can't imagine what will happen if the young lady really falls into the Gu, looking at Chun'er's eyes becoming colder and colder.
"But it was the second lady who asked me to curse her at the beginning, and now the slave has already solved her poison."
"Oh, so Erniang's illness on the first day is true, but the next few days are all pretended!" Lin Ranran's mouth hooked up with a touch of sly, "It's so good, I finally understand why she did this." ”
Chun'er looked at Lin Ran with wide tearful eyes, and felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
At this moment, there was a slight sound by the window, Lin suddenly blew out the candle, and she glanced at the green willow, who took advantage of the moment when the visitor relaxed his vigilance, grabbed her collar like a bull, and threw her to the ground.
"No, don't kill me!" The person who was caught turned out to be the maid Zihuan next to the second lady, and she said in a panic with a white face, "The slave said, the slave said everything." ”
"Hmph, you're quite bold enough to dare to eavesdrop, miss, what should I do?" Green Willow asked fiercely as she took her collar.
Lin suddenly smiled, "Tie her up, cover her mouth, and I'll naturally let you say it when the time comes." ”
