Section 249 Before the Midyear Festival, it has reached the Ghost Gate Pass (2)
The little one only felt a flower in front of him, as if he saw a figure floating past. But lately...... Recently, people have been saying in private, Xiao Weizi ...... Xiao Weizi died unjustly...... I'm afraid I'm going to come back. I think, I think it's probably him......" Nanasein's voice trembled as he said this.
"Little Weizi?" Shu E breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart tightened.
Qixian is not Qingjiang.
So, who is Xiao Weizi?
Shu E saw that Qixian was terribly afraid, and comforted with a smile: "You must have been dazzled, the blue sky and the white sun, where did these things come from?" I saw the shadow you mentioned, and it was clearly a figure, and I walked over there. ”
Hearing this, Qixian's expression calmed down a lot, and he said, "Since Madam is really looking at it, it is a figure, so it must not be wrong." Yes, yes! In broad daylight, ghosts don't dare to come out and walk around. But then he showed a suspicious look, and whispered, "But...... When the little one was in his hometown, he heard that there were evil spirits who spoke deeply, and those who had a lot of grudges...... Wronged souls, even those who dare to go out in broad daylight ......"
Shu E has always been kind-hearted, although she has compassion for ghosts and gods. She believes in the inherent goodness of human nature. Therefore, I do not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and I am not afraid. At this moment, she must have been very frightened when she saw Qixian's appearance, so she said: "Everyone says that they don't do bad things, and they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." As long as you are committed to goodness and righteousness in your heart, you don't need to be afraid of these. ”
"Righteousness...... Righteousness ......" Qixian said in a low voice, and suddenly hid his face and whimpered, his voice was very sour. Shu E only vaguely heard a sentence: "We are all rootless as internal servants...... The people who are ...... There is no such righteousness...... The palace is inhabited by nobles, and ghosts are invisible. They...... Everyone said that Xiao Weizi was looking for a stand-in, most of them ...... Most of them are going to find us people......" said with his voice lowering even lower, as if to tell this great, very big secret: "They all say...... Xiao Weizi was found by an unjust soul...... I found a stand-in ......"
It took Shu E a while to explain, "Those who are internal servants just don't have such righteousness", and she couldn't help but turn red. After a pause, he said: "Righteousness is only in the heart, how can there be a difference between people?" If a noble person does something bad, the gods and Buddhas will not bless him. ”
Qixian suddenly thought of something, reached out and scratched his neck for a while, and finally pulled out a thin red rope. Shu E knew what kind of amulet or something like that he must have said, and when Qixian pulled it out to take a look, it turned out to be the silver coin with "Ruyi" printed on it that he gave him a few days ago in the secluded fence.
Qixian clutched the silver coin tightly and said, "This is a gift from Madame." The official said that Mrs. is a blessed person, and what Mrs. rewards me must be able to ward off evil spirits! ”
However, the seven-string hairy hands and feet were scratched randomly, and the red line was very slender and slender, and somehow, the knotted place of the rope was loosened, and the silver coin fell to the ground with a "dang" sound.
Qixian squatted down in a panic, grabbing the Ruyi silver coin with both hands, and his hands were trembling for a while. Shu E lifted her skirt and squatted down, but saw Qixian patting her head with her hand and whispering, "This ...... This is a bad omen! I...... I ......"
Shu E was ridiculously stupid when she heard this, seeing that he was still hiding his face and trembling, he hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the seven strings, and shouted in a low voice: "Seven strings, seven strings...... Since you know that Gonggong Chu doesn't like to listen to people talk about ghosts and gods, why do you still want to be here? ”
Nanchistring immediately became alert, pulled his hands away from his face, and looked around with red eyes. Except for the distance on the other side of the river, you can see a few palace maids in uniform people coming and going, under the sultry sky, only tree pavilions, river bridges, pestles.
Shu E led Qixian to the porch of Lanchuan, and said softly: "You look like this, people don't tell jokes, and when they reach the ears of the steward, they will say that you have lost your appearance." Now there is no one in your courtyard, so go to the well and wash your face. ”
Unexpectedly, when Qixian heard this, his whole body became nervous, his red eyes opened wide, but his lips couldn't help trembling, Shu'e smiled at him and nodded to show encouragement, Qixian finally mustered up his courage and turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
However, as soon as he turned around and saw the well in the courtyard, he suddenly screamed as if he had been burned.
Shu E was taken aback, and before she could react to what was going on, Qixian had already run out of the door without looking back. It's just that he was flustered, his steps were vain, and before he could get out of the gate, he stumbled and threw himself on the gate.
Shu E heard the whimper of the seven strings, and this voice was like a ghost cry in the middle of the night because of excessive fear. Qixian's hands grabbed the side of the door, but his body still slid down little by little.
Shu E walked over and patted Qixian's shoulder, and shouted in a low voice: "In broad daylight, what do you look like when you are so suspicious?" If you continue to make trouble like this, are you still afraid that Father-in-law Chu will not punish you? I don't know how the little Weizi unjustly died, you are so crazy and crazy in the palace, and you are confused, so you are not afraid that they will make you an ownerless soul in order to seal your mouth? ”
These words were really effective, and when Qixian heard it, his whole body shook, and the whimpering sound in his mouth gradually became smaller. Eventually, Qisine seemed to lose all his strength and sat down against the wall.
Shu E squatted beside Qixian, only to see Qixian staring intently at his own hands, but his hands were shaking constantly. Shu E shouted softly: "Seven-stringed ......"
Qixian's face was full of tears, but he didn't look up at Shu E, but just muttered to himself, "I'm a coward...... I'm a coward......"
As he spoke, he looked at Shu E, and saw that Shu E's expression was soft and concerned, and he seemed to be much more stable in his heart, his hands were no longer trembling, but he cried involuntarily: "But when Wei Ping was pushed into the well, I was also watching from the side...... Today, today is the day of his death! ”
When Shu E heard Qixian's words, she seemed to hear thunder rolling past her ears, her heart was shocked, and her face instantly turned pale. Anyone who sees such a scene must be afraid for the rest of their lives.
"Wei Ping is ...... Little Weizi? Shu E calmed down and asked softly, "Are you ...... Is this well in the courtyard? ”
Qixian said the secret in his heart, and his emotions were much calmer, although there were still tears on his face, he no longer cried silently and incoherently. He shook his head, and after a moment, he said, "Not here. It was behind the Ouchi Workshop, and the corpse was ...... The body was not fished up, but the well was filled. When Qixian said this, he closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth vigorously, and made a "roar" sound in his throat, obviously trying to suppress the fear and pain in his heart.
"I saw Father-in-law Chu leading people to push him down the well, but Father-in-law Chu and the others left, but I didn't dare to run over to look. At that time, the well was ...... At that time, there was ...... sound in the well, "the sound of the seven strings became deeper and more subtle, and became mysterious and distant," and there was a voice. You listen...... Listen, ma'am! ”
