"But, cousin, you, ......" Obviously, you look like you are at ease, and you often say at home that you study very easily, have a wide range of contacts, and make a lot of friends, so you will definitely be able to be admitted to a good academy smoothly.
Swallowing these words back into her stomach, Sister Zhu sighed, lowered her head and closed her mouth.
Xu Ning was in a trance, and didn't seem to see her strange eyes at all: "Living in the Lin family, the Lin family thinks that I must have a very good future, and those people who come and go are also envious, saying that I will have the connections of the Lin family in the future, plus my own ability, I will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and be the official slaughterer when I come out of the academy." ”
The third aunt was a little annoyed, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we are also at fault, we have put a lot of pressure on you." ”
In order to keep Xu Ning from being despised at home, his family values him very much, and he has always shown confidence in him.
She and her younger siblings occasionally met old friends from the past, and every time they praised the child, not to mention holding the child to the sky, and showed enough attention, but they didn't expect that sometimes too much attention can cause damage.
Hongchen frowned, she didn't think that the third aunt had done anything bad, and she didn't think that there was anything wrong with the Lin family being nice to this kid, could it be that if she hit him all day long, or ignore him, he would be able to have no burden? I'm afraid that this person will be even more depressed at that time, and he will come up with all kinds of excuses to hate the Lin family directly.
Besides, when he took his shoes home, he wanted to harm Sister Zhu, the young lady of the Lin family! What's the matter, the Lin family is so kind to him, and he reciprocates like this? Based on this alone, even if this guy is killed now, the Lin family has no need to regret it.
"Alright, please tell me the point." Hongchen's voice was cold.
Xu Ning lowered his head, not daring to look at the people of the Lin family, let alone Wu Zhaodi, the whole person shrank into a ball, and his voice was hoarse: "That day, I met Shi Ren, and I was in a very bad mood. ”
The third aunt was stunned.
At that time, they all knew each other and were also acquaintances of the Lin family.
The Shi family used to be good friends with the Lin family, until the Lin family had an accident, and the relationship was not broken, and the juniors often had contacts, although they were low-key, but compared to those who beat the Lin family when they saw the defeat of the Lin family, the Shi family can be regarded as affectionate and righteous.
It is also a good tutor of the Shi family, the family is full of pride, never fascinated by foreign things, and because of this, even if the people in their family are talented, all of them are good materials for reading, but they have little power in the court, but if any child becomes an official, either in the Qingshui Yamen of the Hanlin Academy, or as a royal envoy, I want to do the side, I will be so angry that I will go to the official in a few years, if it is not for the thick foundation of the family, many friends, I am afraid it will not be just a matter of losing the official and resigning, over the years, the Shi family has rarely been in the court, Maybe in a few years, the capital will forget their home.
Unexpectedly, in recent years, there has been a time.
At that time, he was the little master of the third room of the Shi family, and he couldn't see anything when he was a child, but he was smarter and smarter than ordinary people, but he was also naughty and mischievous, and often made his father and mother and brothers and sisters so angry that he couldn't wait to pick up a burning stick and beat him to death, but this kid also had a sweet mouth, and he hid beside his elders when he got into trouble, and coaxed his grandfather and grandmother to pet and protect him in a few words, and he never suffered a loss.
A few years when Ren grew up, outstanding appearance, gentle and elegant, and particularly smart, it can be said that he never forget, over the ears into recitation, since he was a child, he read those books once he remembered clearly, read a few more times and memorized like a stream, at a young age in the lift, if not for his temperament jumped, the family pressed him to precipitate more, it is estimated that a Jinshi is as easy as a bag to get things.
Xu Ning's face is ever-changing, and when Ren is studying with him now, it is the family of the Shi family.
He worked so hard, but he still couldn't see hope, he was playing blindly every day, listening to a song today, and teasing cats and dogs tomorrow, but he could do anything, and he looked very generous.
Because Xu Ning was the cousin of the Lin family, Ren treated him well at the time, and often lent him his books, but day by day, Xu Ning felt that he was not happy anywhere, and when he saw Shi Ren, his heart was angry, but he couldn't show it.
"I hate him, but why do I hate people? I couldn't even say it, but that day he gave me several of his books, saying that he might have read all the previous ones, and that he could borrow them after reading them...... I can't finish watching it, I can't finish it at all, I can't remember it, I can't watch it! ”
Xu Ning's whole person was irritable, "I was very uncomfortable that day, I borrowed wine to kill my sorrows, I drank a lot of wine, the whole person was confused, I suddenly wanted to go out of the city to see, the capital and my aura was not harmonious, I was uncomfortable, I walked and walked, I entered the mountain, and I was very unlucky, I met a few robbers, I was very scared, I was thinking about breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster, but I didn't expect a layer of fog to suddenly rise, and then I fainted." ”
He showed a little fear on his face, and whispered: "Then I saw that thing, I don't know what it is, it told me, I know my wish, I want to be admitted to the best academy in the capital, it promised me, if I sign a contract with him, then he is willing to help me get all the exam questions of the academy, to ensure that the exam is smooth sailing, and there is no mistake at all...... I was scared for a moment, so I agreed. ”
Hearing him say this, the third aunt's face showed a bit of incredulity.
Hongchen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth - that's it? It was the most unfair contract she'd ever seen.
Sister Zhu only thinks that her cousin is simply a big fool - how obsessive does this have to be to think of taking such a shortcut to the academy, but what about after going to the academy? Dare to love him, he thought that he would be fine if he was admitted to the academy.
"At present, all the academies in the capital are eliminated at the end, and if they don't do well in the exam, they only have three chances to make up for the exam, and if they don't do well three times, they will leave directly."
Lin Xu smiled bitterly.
Xu Ning didn't seem to be able to hear, his eyes were red, and he grabbed his head hard: "You don't understand, you don't understand, I can't help it, I can't help it...... If I don't agree, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, even if that thing doesn't kill me, and there are other people, the few people who want to rob me will definitely kill people. ”
"Okay, since it's a contract, what does the other party want you to do." Hongchen said coldly.
Xu Ning raised his head slightly, and said in a daze: "It wants a few women, send it a few every month, some requirements, appearance, temperament, birth date or something, it is not particularly strict at the beginning, as long as it is a young and strong woman, it is enough, not only me, everyone else has signed a contract to do these things for it together......"
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Xu Ning said dumbly: "I've thought about it, the women of the good family can't be harmed, and the women in the Qinglou don't matter, anyway, no one pays attention to what happens to them, I'm just a weak scholar, and the means of dealing with those women are very violent, I can't do it, let's discuss it, I'm responsible for looking for it, I was a little rusty at first, and then I slowly became familiar with it." ”
Wu Zhaodi trembled.
Hongchen was also speechless.
Xu Ning didn't seem to feel guilty, and his voice gradually stabilized: "Those women are very easy to abduct, I will choose the target first, go to visit them, chat with them, slowly get acquainted, and then contact the people over there to do it, and there has never been a mistake." ”
He's so bland.
Wu Zhaodi's eyes locked on him tightly, this person ...... He did such a terrible thing and pushed her and Lai Di into the abyss, but he didn't feel guilty, and in an instant, Wu Zhaodi's nails grew wildly.
"Ahh
Xia Tong, who had been hiding to the side and didn't dare to show his head, turned pale with fright.
Hongchen sighed, but still stopped Wu Zhaodi, what is the use of killing this guy at this time? If you want him to die, at least let him finish his words.
Wu Zhaodi was stopped and couldn't move, but she was covered in black air, her face was hideous, and she roared angrily: "You bastard, I curse you, you go to the eighteenth layer of hell, you return me to Didi, return me to Didi!" ”
Xu Ning was stunned, and as soon as he raised his head, he looked at Shangwu Zhaodi's eyes full of hatred, which frightened him into two trembles.
Hongchen let out a breath, calmed Wu Zhaodi's turbulent soul, and looked at Xu Ning coldly: "You may look down on the women of the Qinglou and think that they can be despised at will, but in my opinion, you are even dirtier, at least they are still living people, and they still know what kindness is, what about you?" Don't you feel ashamed of the harm you have caused Sister Zhu now? ”
Xu Ning trembled, and finally showed a dilapidated expression, his face turned red, and he didn't even dare to look at the third aunt and Sister Zhu'er, tears flowed down, and he cried loudly: "I regret it, I went to that place that day, and I don't know why I was so obsessed with it, so I dared to go...... It, that thing said that it was very dissatisfied with those women, that I was getting more and more perfunctory, that I was getting some inferior goods, and that I was going to give it a top-notch, the best of the best, and I came out in a daze, and I was holding the shoes in my hand, and I was holding them tightly, and I was startled, and I threw them away, but when I got home, the shoes were still in my arms, and they were in my arms, and I tried, and I burned them, and threw them, and threw them far away, but it was useless, and it haunted me so badly, and refused to leave a single step, so I secretly, Secretly went to ask, asked a friend. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xia Tong.
Xia Tong didn't say anything, his head drooped, and even his ears hung down.
"I asked a friend what he would do if something like this happened, and he said that in that case, the only way to do that was to find a suitable owner for the thing...... I was fascinated and gave it to Sister Zhu! ”
As soon as he looked up and saw the frightened expression of the third aunt, Xu Ning cried: "I regret it, I regret it in the past two days, and I am very afraid, I want to tell Sister Zhu'er, but I don't dare, I really regret it, I hate myself why I went to the mountains, why I ran into that thing, why I signed a contract with that thing, I want to regret it, I don't want to do it, I really don't want to do it!" Woooooooo ”
Hongchen's face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "No wonder the ghost contract will backlash, once your mind is shaken badly, the ghost contract will naturally punish you." ”
A touch of fear flashed on Xu Ning's face, and he really looked like he regretted it, but he didn't know if he regretted his own resistance, or if he didn't stand firm to the end and seriously complete the contract.
Hongchen didn't care what he thought at this time, and said coldly: "Take me over?" ”
"Go, where?"
"Go to the thing you saw."
Xu Ning trembled, and when he wanted to speak, Hongchen sneered: "I'm afraid it's too late now, let's go." ”
The three aunts were all a little worried, but they opened their mouths but just sighed: "Be careful, your own safety is the most important." ”
Xu Ning had no choice but to follow Hongchen out of the door in frustration, and got into the car again, as soon as the carriage left, Hongchen glanced back, and saw that Xia Tong, who was making trouble with Xu Ning at the beginning, actually followed out in a gloomy manner, and rode a horse to follow.
Lin Xu glanced at it: "He's a spirit master?" ”
“…… No. Hongchen frowned, the place they were going to now was quite dangerous, it was not a good thing to have such a person, this person didn't seem to be very bold, and he didn't know why he dared to follow.
Lin Xu waved his hand, and someone next to him went over to ask, and after being entangled for a while, Xia Tong still didn't leave, but still followed.
"That guy said that he was not good at learning and misleading Xu Gongzi, and he had to atone for his crimes, and his subordinates looked at him with flickering eyes, thinking that there was something else hidden."
Hongchen was speechless, and said for a while: "Forget it, let him be." "In fact, I'm afraid that the ghost thing has already begun to notice that something is wrong, maybe it will be alert, and it is better to end it all quickly, and there is no time to entangle with the idlers.
All the way to the mountain, the mountain road became more and more rugged, and Hongchen and his party began to walk at the back.
Lin Xu glanced at Xu Ning, who had no energy at all, and said softly, "It's not easy for you to go so far." ”
Hongchen thought thoughtfully: "It seems that that ghost thing has some ability, probably exerting influence." "Otherwise, a weak scholar like Xu Ning probably wouldn't have gone so far into the mountains.
The more they walked, the more tired they became, Hongchen and they were fine, they knew how to do some work, and Xia Tong was already panting and sweating profusely, he was gritting his teeth and following desperately, and there were words in his mouth.
Hongchen couldn't help laughing: "This person has some perseverance. ”
After a while, fog began to rise in front.
The fog shrouded in a little weird.
Hongchen hadn't spoken yet, Xia Tong, who had been hanging behind them, jumped to her side as if his tail had been burned by fire, and said to Ai Ai: "Little, miss, we won't meet ghosts hitting the wall, I heard, I heard that there are more people in the wilderness when we meet ghosts hitting the wall, and it is easier to pass with a heavier yang energy, otherwise we will stay still and wait for dawn, that, should we wait?" ”
At this time, Xia Tong was covered in cold sweat, his face was panicked, his hands and feet were trembling, obviously frightened.
Hongchen laughed in his heart: "You're not a spirit master?" What's there to be afraid of when a ghost hits the wall? ”
Xia Tong was stunned for a moment, stiffened his chest, and said stiffly: "I'm worried about you, I'm not afraid!" (To be continued.) )
