Chapter 250: It's Good to Have a Life
On a snowy night, Meng Shichen rushed to Zhao's mansion as promised. The lady in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info really stood at the back door with her husband and waited for her, but next to the two of them was a maid with an umbrella and another maid with an umbrella.
Although the wind and snow are heavy, the lamp holder in the courtyard is still brightly lit, illuminating this cold world with a hint of illusory warmth.
"Welcome Mr. Meng!" The man in the brocade robe standing next to him was the first to speak, and the woman also bowed modestly and dignifiedly.
"You're welcome, two." Meng Shichen nodded and went in, although she was also smiling, the maid beside her was a little displeased. This little girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old, right? How can you be so arrogant?
The little girl glanced at the person who was following Meng Shichen angrily, and after seeing the person's appearance clearly, the little girl immediately froze in place. A pair of bright eyes flashed with joy, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red.
After a period of greetings, the old man of the Zhao family decided to go to the study and wait for news. Madame took Meng Shichen to Miss Zhao's room to check the situation, and after walking a few steps, she found that the little maid was still standing in place, Madame's face turned dark, and she coughed heavily.
"Ma'am." The little maid ran over with a pale face alternately, hanging her face and biting her lip, holding a bone umbrella and walking beside Madame.
The woman looked at her with a calm face, but her calm face gave people unwarranted pressure. Immediately, the little girl's face drooped even lower. Lihua did not hold an umbrella, but only pulled the hat behind the cloak to his head, so that his eyebrows were more dazzling in the wind and snow.
The people who followed Mr. Meng exuded extraordinary charm. I don't know who it is. Master Zhao walked for a while, stopping to look at the figures who disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The little guy next to him gently attached to his ear and said, "Master, I heard that this Mr. Meng is the soul slayer of the Fu Sect. The people of Fu Sect will make a contract with the undead, so that the undead will become a helper or a subordinate who specializes in killing people and goods, maybe the good-looking son who looks like a celestial just now is not a person. ”
"Let's go. It doesn't matter who he is, as long as his master can save my daughter, that's enough. Master Zhao sighed helplessly.
――――――――――
"Here we are." Madame stopped in front of a delicate two-story red building, where everything was much more elaborate, and even the night patrol was much more numerous than in the other courtyards. Meng Shichen motioned for her to open the door, but Madame hesitantly turned her gaze away from the painting.
Meng Shichen understood what she was thinking, and immediately smiled: "Madame, don't worry, he is my assistant." This time, to get rid of the Nightmare Spirit, you have to use his power. ”
Madame Zhao frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure. The face dyed with earthly frost was as quiet and indifferent as a spring reflecting the world's affairs, and only a pair of eyes that saw through the world revealed the mother's slightest worry about her daughter.
"In that case, please two of you." Mrs. Zhao personally opened the door, Meng Shichen put away the bone umbrella in her hand and put it at the door, and shook the snowflakes on the cloak from the painting, before following the dignified woman into the door.
When Meng Shichen was outside, he noticed that the light on the second floor of the attic was a little strange, illuminating the window paper as bright as day.
When I went in, I found that the candlelight inside was simply "blinding", and there was nothing in the whole room except for a couch. On the floor are seven or eight candelabra stretched out like flowers and trees, each of which can light about twelve candles.
On top of that, even the floor is lit with candles. The whole room was as dark as in the daytime, and even the bottom of the bed was illuminated by candlelight because the sheets were lifted up.
On the bed, a haggard girl with a withered appearance stared at a pair of deeply sunken eyes, staring blankly at the candles in the room.
"Mr. Meng, please." The little maid beside Madame handed over a strip of black blindfolded cloth, and Meng Shichen waved his hand to signal that he didn't want to. The strip of cloth looked like someone else had used it, so she didn't want it.
The little maid didn't do much persuasion, and turned to look at the painting with a red face: "This son, please." ”
"I don't need to." Without looking at the blindfolded cloth strip from the painting, the little girl was a little aggrieved, pursed her lips and stepped aside. She put the strip of black cloth back on the hook in the doorway, and removed another strip of black cloth from the other hook, ready to blindfold Madame.
"Mr. Meng, this is my daughter. Half a month ago, she began to have nightmares every day, and now she doesn't dare to close her eyes. As soon as she closes her eyes, even if she doesn't sleep, those nightmares will appear, and soon she will trap them. Madame's dignified and calm face finally revealed the entanglement and heartache of being a mother.
She also explained the reason why she was in a hurry to invite Meng Shichen to come this time: "Originally, my husband and I didn't believe in this kind of statement that could drive away nightmares. But her wedding date is approaching, and if her future in-laws find out that she looks like this, the happiness and happiness of the second half of her life will be gone. ”
"So, Madame is in a hurry to go to the doctor?" Meng Shichen slowly took out a long towel from his sleeve, this Miss Zhao, even if she is not discovered, she may not be happy in the second half of her life.
It's good to have a life.
"Yes, Mr. Meng guessed right. After discussing it with my husband several times, there was really no way, so we decided to give it a try. Madame did not hide her distrust of Meng Shichen.
"That's good, Madame's indiscriminate medical treatment this time can be regarded as a knife edge. After I exorcised the nightmare spirit on Ling Yan's body, I also asked my wife to preach this stunt for me, the soul slayer. Meng Shichen put the towel over his eyes and walked over to avoid the burning candles.
Although she folded the thin towel in half, she could still see the scene in the room smoothly. Meng Shichen stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Miss Zhao's eyes, and the other party showed a terrified expression at the moment when the candlelight was blocked, and shrunk into a ball on the couch, but he didn't dare to close his eyes.
The maid behind the lady was blindfolding her, and she was violently pushed to the side. "Jin'er!" The lady rushed over and pulled her girl into her arms and coaxed her with a warm palm, caressing her withered yellow hair.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, ah. They're here to banish your nightmares, and soon you'll be able to sleep soundly. "Madame has completely lost the appearance of a dignified lady at this time.
At this time, she was just an ordinary mother.
Meng Shichen couldn't help frowning, this girl's situation seemed to be very unoptimistic: "Leaving the painting, I always feel that the nightmare spirit on her body is a little weird?" "Nightmares, nightmares, as the name suggests, are things that only get haunted by them when you are asleep.
But this girl is not like the kind of person who is haunted by nightmares, but like a hallucination of being overly frightened and having a haunted nightmare.
