Chapter 6 The Human Urn
The dimly lit cabinet was not as cluttered as outside, and a table and chair could be faintly seen, and what made Miao Zhi unable to take her eyes off was that there was a vat in the center of the room, and there was a fllush thing moving in the tray.
Miao Zhi clenched the stool leg in her hand in fear, and just wanted to get closer to see it more really, the thing made a "hmm, hmm" sound again, and it was constantly struggling.
Miao Zhi was so frightened that she panicked, hurriedly threw away the things in her hand, pulled Ning Er and ran towards the door, the two of them who were panicked were just about to go out, but Ning Er was tripped by the high threshold.
"Miss, woo, the ghost is coming to catch me, ah, miss" Ning'er seemed to twist her foot.
Miao Zhi covered the little girl's noisy mouth, "Okay, don't scream, if you call it again, maybe that thing will come out." ”
The tearful apricot eyes blinked a few times, and Miao Zhi let go of her hand. After settling down, the thing didn't seem to be following them, and then she carefully picked up Ning'er and prepared to walk towards the gate.
"Squeak, squeak" There was the sound of the rusty door being pushed open, could it be that someone was coming? Discovered? Miao Zhi is a little confused, what should I do? Yes, hide first, Ning'er's current situation is that she can't run out at all, so let's hide first.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but drag Ning Er to hide behind the dilapidated window that had already fallen, and the half-human-high weeds almost blocked the hole in the window.
Miao Zhi tightly covered Ning'er's mouth and motioned for her not to make a sound. After a while, a green figure passed by where they were hiding and walked into the small building.
"Madame is really, every time I ask me to add medicine to your people's non-human and ghostly things, you say that you really don't know how to lift, and you can die happily if you explain earlier," a scolding female voice came from the cabinet.
The window where the two were hiding was just outside the wall of the cabinet, and Miao Zhi pulled Ning Er to move cautiously, and slowly poked her head out, wanting to see what was going on inside.
I saw the green-clothed woman dressed as a maid dislike the fluffy thing and picked up the fluffy thing, and then retched a few times disgustingly, and then lifted the wooden barrel next to her and poured some liquid into the tank.
In the midday sun, Miao Zhi saw the thing clearly, it turned out to be a woman in the tank, her hair was fluffy and messy, and the disgusting and sticky long hair was stuck to her scalp like felt, she kept whimpering, and there were dense threads on her lips, which turned out to be sewn up.
The woman in green finished pouring the contents of the bucket and stirred it with a wooden stick, and the woman in the jar struggled even more. Yes? There were no eyes, and at the moment when the woman struggled, Miao Zhi saw two dark eye holes on her pale face.
Seeing this scene, Miao Zhi hurriedly covered her mouth so that she didn't let herself scream.
"You still don't stop cutting off your hands and feet, you stink to death, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. kept you and it was still useful, I would have let you out, my aunt and grandmother ran twice for three days, and I had to pretend to be a ghost here from time to time so that no one would come in, phew, it stinks to death." There was another sound of retching, and the woman picked up the barrel and walked out.
Miao Zhi hurriedly pulled Ning Er back to her head and moved back to the original place to hide. The woman "pedaled" down the steps and walked out of the garden without looking back.
The heavy door rang again, and Miao Zhi let out a long sigh of relief.
"Xi Hong, why did Xi Hong come here?" Ning Er muttered something, it seemed that she knew the woman just now.
"Miss, just now." Miao Zhi interrupted Ning Er, who was about to speak, this place was not safe after all.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." The two stood up with pale faces, patted the dust on their bodies and returned to the Mandarin Pavilion the same way.
After changing the maid's clothes on her body, she freshened up, and Miao Zhi asked Ning'er to tell herself what she was going to say in the Shallow Mercy Pavilion.
"Ning'er, do you know that woman?"
"Miss, the maid we saw in the shallow mercy pavilion today is Xi Hong next to Madame, she usually doesn't follow Madame much, several times when Ning'er went to Steward Jia to receive the monthly money from our garden, I saw her follow Madame's side Mother Jiang."
Ning Er scratched her head and continued: "This Xi Hong is arrogant and domineering, so Ning Er can hear her voice at once, and although she has a red character in her name, she likes to wear green clothes very much, so Ning Er must be her." ”
"Our lord only married one lady, and the maids and mothers-in-law beside Mrs. were tyrannical in the house all day long, and now they are doing such a hurtful thing, Miss, you, you, do you want to sue Master Sù?"
"Ning'er, if you talk about my mother like this, aren't you afraid that I will sue my mother and let her throw you away to feed the dogs?"
"Ning'er is not afraid, Ning'er became Miss's girl at the age of seven, and she can be regarded as growing up with Miss. Mrs. has not fulfilled the responsibility of being a mother at all, very young Miss handed over to the nurse Aunt Xiu, the master gave this garden, Aunt Embroidery everything for Miss to do it herself, Mrs. just came to see every once in a while, almost never hugged Miss, Miss you have been well-behaved and sensible in order to please Mrs. Lady, but Mrs. still can't see it. Miss, have you forgotten how many tears you shed over this? ”
After listening to Ning'er's words, Miao Zhi was thoughtful.
Aunt Xiu, that kind and honest woman, has not seen her for many years, and I heard that others said that she was seriously ill and was dismissed.
The qiē I saw in the shallow mercy pavilion today reminded Miao Zhi of a horror movie "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" that she had watched before, the female ghost in the movie didn't die like this, cut off her hands and feet and put them in a jar, gouged out her eyes, cut off her ears and tongue, and then used the special nutrient solution in the jar to sustain her life, which is commonly known as the human urn.
It seems that Ling Shuirong really has some unsavory secrets, no wonder the haunting is spreading in the mansion, and no one has come to check it, and she can't get rid of it.
The more Miao Zhi thought about it, the more scared she felt, she felt that this house was too unsafe, wasn't there any martial arts master in ancient times, let her brother accompany her to find it tomorrow, she must live well, she still wants to go home.
"Ning'er, you can't mention a word you see today to outsiders, do you hear it, be careful of your life. Leave your noisy little mouth to Miss Ben. Ning Er covered her mouth and nodded vigorously.
After tossing for so long, it was already noon time for dinner, but when I thought of the woman in the tank, I was in no mood.
Sitting idly in front of the window thinking about today's qiē, doubts rolled in my heart.
Who the hell is that woman? Why did Ling Shuirong do this to her?
What happened after coming to this world made Miao Zhi tremble, and there should indeed be a person with strong martial arts to protect herself.
