At breakfast time, Xiusun and Xiuqian were accompanying the old lady to eat fried cakes with millet porridge, and a mother-in-law entered the yard in a panic.

Shen's mother went out to inquire, and when she came back, her expression was a little panicked.

Xiusun noticed it, and the old lady also saw it, and the two lowered their heads and ate two more bites, and went to the hall together.

"Call her in." The old lady said lightly.

Mother Shen led the mother-in-law in, and asked the little maids in the house to withdraw, and let Xiaoyan stand under the porch and watch.

The mother-in-law came in in a panic, and when she saw the old lady, she staggered to her knees, and said in a trembling voice, "Old lady, it's not good, that mother-in-law, she's dead!" ”

Xiusun was shocked, it couldn't be an epidemic.

The old lady held the bowl for a moment and asked, "How did you die?" ”

The woman trembled and said, "Up, it's hanging." ”

It sounded like a terrible thing, but in the context of the plague, the grandparents and grandchildren were inexplicably relieved.

The old lady narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Isn't it just a dead person, what's the fuss, the house looks like it?" ”

The woman lay on the ground and hurriedly said, "It seems, it seems." ”

"Who else knows about this?"

"No, no," the woman quickly shook her head, "only me and Mrs. Wang know, as soon as we found out in the morning, we hurried to report to the old lady." ”

The old lady straightened her skirt, stood up with Shen's mother's hand, and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”

Xiusun grabbed the old lady, "Grandmother, don't go, I'll go and see." ”

The old lady turned her head and looked at her little granddaughter, who was still short and round, still looking like a little doll, how could she be allowed to face such a terrifying scene.

The old lady flatly refused.

Xiusun had no choice but to take a step back, "Then let's go together." ”

She grabbed the old lady's sleeve and didn't let go.

The old lady's face was uncertain, and when the eldest master was buried last time, Xiusun suddenly fell ill. It scared her a lot, and now she still has palpitations, this is this time, she really needs someone to take the idea.

Xiusun had no choice but to add another fire. "Grandmother, did you also think that this matter was strange, so you decided to go and see it yourself?"

The old lady listened to Xiusun's questioning, and suddenly lost her mind, and Xiusun said what she thought. This is a dead person, and there is clearly a problem.

But Xiusun ......

"Grandmother, I've been getting up every morning to practice lately, and my body should be a lot stronger." Xiusun jumped twice in a hurry, bent her elbow and let Xiusun grab her grandmother's hand and let her touch the muscles in her arm.

The old lady felt that her heart was full of distress and helplessness.

She carefully brushed Xiusun's bangs in front of her forehead, and saw that the sparse bangs still couldn't completely block her forehead, so she asked Shen's mother to take a large square scarf, carefully wrapped Xiusun's forehead, and admonished. "Don't run around for a while,"

Legend has it that children with large foreheads are easily frightened by ghosts, and when the yang energy is weak early in the morning and late at night, they always wrap their cloaks and hoods outside to cover their foreheads.

Xiusun has many bad records in this regard, even if she thinks this look is weird, it is not easy to resist, and obediently agreed.

The old lady instructed Xiaoyan to send someone to call Xiuzhi over, look at Linghui with Xiuqian, and inform Xiyutang not to come to ask for peace, and told the big girl Caique. "You send someone to your wife's yard to say something, let Chen's mother watch the hospital door, and you are not allowed to go out or enter. The same is true for the Huanshi Mountain House, you brought someone to show me a good look. ”

"Go to the outer courtyard and call Uncle Lu in." Xiusun added again. Uncle Lu was introduced by the uncle of the Ruan family, and now he is in charge of guarding the stall in the Foshou Lake Courtyard.

The old lady listened and nodded.

Caique and Xiaoyan didn't know what was going on, and when they heard the old lady say this, their faces turned pale at the same time, and they should be solemn.

Xiusun and the old lady waited for Xiuzhi to enter the Huanshi Mountain House, and then set off into the garden. Meet Uncle Lu halfway through the road.

Uncle Lu is not tall, his appearance is mediocre, he is dressed in a blue-gray robe, and he walks with a tigerish style, and at first glance he has the spiritual head of a person who practices martial arts.

He gave the old lady a salute, and Caique had already told him what had happened, and the old lady said, "This is bothering the Lu guards." ”

Uncle Lu lowered his eyes and bowed, "Wait for the old lady to send." ”

The old lady nodded, and when the greetings were over, the group headed for the lush vegetation.

There are a few uninhabited courtyards in the depths of the garden of the Foshou Lake Courtyard, when the ancestors of the Chu family repaired the garden, they had a lot of money, but they could build a lot of construction projects, but they didn't know that the descendants of the Chu family had not yet lived in the houses they repaired.

This activity continued until Xiusun's great-grandfather was young, because of a rebellion case, the Chu family's eldest son at that time, Chu Zhike's wife Xinguo Mansion was involved, and was finally demoted to a concubine and reinstated.

In order to avoid risks, Chu Zhike resigned and returned to his hometown, and the children of the Chu family also stopped.

Over the years, no one has enclosed land to build gardens, and as long as no one lives in the house, there is little rest.

The problematic mother-in-law was locked in an ear room deep in a deserted courtyard, and Xiusun helped the old lady to walk into the courtyard carefully, even in the bright spring season, she still felt cold and cold, and there was always a smell of rotten wood lingering on the tip of her nose.

There was only the sound of hesitation or steady footsteps, and no one spoke.

Passing by the dusty corridor and crossing the hall, the old lady and her party entered the second courtyard, and Uncle Lu followed alone.

At the door of the small ear room across the main house of the courtyard, a mother-in-law was hovering at the door with her arms tightly crossed, waiting anxiously. Two other little maids followed her, and they all stood in the corner of the courtyard in a daze, as if they were frightened.

Hearing the voice, the woman and the two little maids jumped up together, and the exclamation choked in her throat, like a duck that had been grabbed by the neck.

Seeing that it was the old lady, the princess and the little maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but her voice was very soft, "The old lady ......"

It seems that he has been drained of his strength by something, only the sound of breath, as if he is afraid of shocking something in this courtyard.

The old lady waved her hand, asked her to get up and reply, and asked lightly, "Have you seen anyone?" ”

The woman was so frightened that her legs weakened and she knelt down again, this time in a louder voice, "Back to the old lady, no, from last night to this morning, no one has come." ”

The old lady was about to speak and go in to take a look, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that Xiusun had already touched the doorway, pushed open the partition door, and was looking in with the door frame.

The old lady's mind was almost frightened away by Xiusun's actions, and she walked over quickly with Shen's mother's arm, grabbed Xiusun's shoulder, and said hurriedly, "Tell you not to run around, why are you disobedient." ”

At this short glance, Xiusun had already roughly seen the scene in the house, the woman was wearing an official green armor, her body had been put down, and she was lying upright on the cold blue brick floor. (To be continued.) )
