Chapter 48: Fall
"What do they say?"
Mrs. Xie sat in the room and squinted and asked.
On the way back from the capital, she had a wind chill, and after coming back, she had been lingering badly, and she spent her energy in order to suppress Xie Rouhui, so that after the wind chill was cured, her eyes were a little difficult to see, so she closed her door and ignored the noise outside.
The Xie family's cinnabar business was robbed, the Xie family's mine was deliberately caused trouble, and the old men of the Xie family privately competed for the division of the family's property, she knew all these things, but what about them, what was there to be afraid of, as long as she raised a good Dannu, everything would be fine, what was lost would come back, and what was scattered would be condensed again.
"They said they wanted scripture." The two girls said tremblingly.
"Scriptures?" Mrs. Xie sneered, "Do they really dare to speak, are the scriptures also what they can want?" ”
"They said that they were all left by their ancestors, so they had to share it." The girl bowed her head and said.
Mrs. Xie laughed, and her eyes hurt from laughing.
"Now that I say I want to divide, no one wants to divide in my previous lives, and when I have nothing to do, I share wealth and wealth, and I only think about myself when I encounter difficulties." She said, flicking her hand again and throwing the teacup off the table, "Let them me!" ”
The girls shuddered and withdrew.
"Mother, let them roll, it's useless to drop the teacup." Xie Rouhui's voice came from inside, and the person walked out slowly.
Compared with Mrs. Xie's description, she is not in good spirits.
She was escorted back to wait for Mrs. Xie to return from the capital. immediately asked her to become a biological son, Xie Rouhui naturally disobeyed, mother and daughter, you beware of me, I beware of you, and at the same time, I thought that I could suppress and control the other party, and the fighting methods were comparable.
"It's the most effective thing to use the skills you want to control your daughter from being ruined against those people." She said coldly.
Mrs. Xie looked blank.
"You dare to be so good at home." She said.
Xie Roujia sneered and wanted to say something, Mrs. Xie scolded and got out, Xie Roujia didn't speak anymore and turned in, but the matter didn't stop there.
There were more and more noisy people in front of the door, and even the old men who were originally standing behind came out. Ask to talk to Mrs. Xie.
Xie Wenxing didn't care about it, he simply lived in the sand shop and didn't come back. Mrs. Xie still ignored the door, and her single-minded concoction could break the Xie family's method of not being harmed by the Xie family's witchcraft, so that Xie Rouhui would no longer resist obediently getting married and having children, and at the same time, she had to guard against Xie Rouhui from killing her. I don't have the energy to bother with anything else.
But her witch Gu hasn't been adjusted yet. It's even more fierce outside.
This time the door was smashed open.
"How dare you slam my door?" Mrs. Xie said as she stood on the steps.
She didn't squint in front of the crowd. I don't want people to see that she has a problem with her eyes.
Her vision was blurry, and she could only see a group of people pouring in, and she could tell from the breath that they were family members, but there was also some unfamiliar breath mixed in with them. And it's the breath of witches.
Witch!
Mrs. Xie was furious.
"What people!" She shouted, pointing out.
The shadowy crowd was in a panic, and a few people knelt down.
"You witches dare to enter the door of my Xie family, and dare to break my door!"
At the same time, my heart was full of sorrow.
In the past, Wu didn't dare to take offense when she walked in this mansion, let alone dare not offend, they didn't dare to enter the door of the Xie family at all, where was the need for her to threaten.
"Big Lady!" The voices of several elders of the Xie family shouted, "We don't want to, who asked you to use witchcraft to harm us first." ”
Mrs. Xie sneered.
"I use witchcraft to harm you? You dare to put this ridiculous stigma on my head for your own benefit? She said.
"What slandered you, now there are Gu worms running all over the house, how many people have been bitten and fallen to the ground, you can see for yourself."
Mrs. Xie heard Xie Cunli's voice shouting, followed by the chaotic footsteps, the figures in front of her dispersed, giving way to a place, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but squint, and vaguely saw that there were many people lying on the door panel there, and they could tell from the breath that there were men, women, and children.
"Nonsense, they weren't injured by the Gu worms, let's talk about how the Xie family could be hurt by the witch Gu!" Mrs. Xie shouted.
"It's true that they weren't directly injured by Gu worms, but those Gu worms were controlled to transport poison and poison them in the well water to eat!"
Xie Cunli's voice shouted.
Poisoning with Gu worms?
Mrs. Xie was stunned, and more voices shouted in her ears.
"Now the yard is full of bugs! Adults and children are restless and unable to move an inch. ”
"The well water has been poisoned, and now the draft has to be carried outside, and I can't tell the outsiders, and the people who are full of Peng water are all laughing!"
"Are you going to wipe us all out?"
Men scolded women and cried, and children screamed in a mess.
Mrs. Xie's eyes became more and more blurry, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
"Big lady, we have no choice but to invite the witch outside to help."
It is really rare to invite a witch from outside to deal with your own witch.
"I didn't harm you with witchcraft." Mrs. Xie said Mu Ran.
"It's either you or Xie Rouhui." Xie Cunli shouted, "Anyway, it's your mother and daughter, your mother has a bad temper, but she has never harmed her family, you are good to have harmed others, it is really not as good as the generation!" ”
One generation is not as good as the next? Is she inferior to her mother?
It's just that others say it, Xie Cunli, a person who has been accusing her mother of praising her since she was a child, is really ridiculous when she says such things.
"You're right, it's really not as good as the generation." Mrs. Xie said, "But even if you are not as good as the generation, I will not use witchcraft to harm you." ”
"Then who knows! You mother and daughter practice Gu at home every day! ”
"That's it, what are we, you can even poison your own relatives to death, isn't it the same as pinching us to death?"
There was a woman's scream shouting.
Mrs. Xie was furious.
"What does it mean to kill a relative?" She shouted.
"What do you mean? The eldest lady, the old lady was not relieved by Du Wang at all and almost died. Instead, he was poisoned by Xie Rouhui......." A shrill girl's voice shouted, but as soon as she said this, her voice turned into a heart-rending scream, and the rest of the words disappeared.
Say what?
That time the old lady was almost killed by Du Wang?
Although Da Da saved her life, the old lady's health has been getting worse and worse since then.
That's right, that incident was indeed not as simple as Du Wang's anger, the doctors have pointed out that the old lady was poisoned first.
She also checked for a long time, but there were no clues at all, and later when the old lady privately taught Xie Roujia the scriptures, she suspected that the old lady was playing a trick that she deliberately poisoned herself. And then I put it aside.
Isn't it? It's really poisoning. Or was she poisoned by Xie Rouhui?
Who is it? Who's talking?
There were chaotic shouts and chaotic figures in my ears, and I couldn't hear or see clearly.
"Who is it?" Mrs. Xie shouted, stretching out her hand forward. "Who's talking!"
The crowd was chaotic, and I didn't know who it hit and caused confusion.
"Great lady. You. Your eyes! ”
Someone noticed Mrs. Xie's strange appearance and shouted, which made the panicked people look at it.
Mrs. Xie ignored them and went straight to the girl who fell to the ground.
"Xie Yao?" She squinted and tried to look over. Recognize the girl.
Xie Yao fell to the ground, pinching his neck with both hands and making a dry hi sound, looking frightened.
"Yaoyao! Yaoyao! What happened to you? Several women shouted around her, helping her.
"Don't touch her, she's caught a witch attack." A male voice shouted in fear, "Look at her neck! ”
Witchcraft?
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Xie Yao, only to see that Xie Yao's neck was showing a zigzag wriggling, as if an insect was crawling again.
What does this mean, although the people of the Xie family have not seen it, they have also heard of it, and they immediately screamed and retreated.
Xie Yao, who was originally being helped up, was thrown to the ground again, pinched his neck and began to retch.
Everyone retreated and ran away, only Mrs. Xie stood in place, which allowed her to see the person in front of her clearly, leaned forward and grabbed Xie Yao's shoulders and turned her over.
Xie Yao's mouth had already spit out a slender worm, writhing in a zigzag manner.
This made the people who had not gone far scream again, the children were already crying in fright, and two or three women fainted.
"I thought that the people of the Xie family really wouldn't be hurt by witch Gu, and it doesn't seem to be like that."
A voice spoke.
Everyone hurriedly turned around and saw Xie Rouhui coming out of the house at some point, looking at Xie Yao on the ground with a smile.
"Originally, I just tried to bury Gu worms, but I didn't expect that if I said something I shouldn't say, I would really have a seizure."
Although Xie Yao couldn't speak, he could hear and see other perceptions, and his expression became more and more distorted and terrifying.
"Mother, you see, our witchcraft can deal with the surnamed Xie, so don't be polite, teach these things a lesson." Xie Rouhui said with a smile.
Hearing this, the people present and the Xie family turned pale with fright.
"Stop, stop." Xie Cunli and the others even beckoned to the wizard they brought, "You guys." ”
Those wizards hesitated again and again, thinking that they could collect enough money to buy a life, plus this was against the Pengshui Great Witch Xie Clan, there was no shame in losing, and if they won, they would make a lot of money, so several wizards hesitated for a moment and then stood up.
Mrs. Xie didn't pay attention to them, but looked at Xie Rouhui.
"You poisoned your grandmother at the time?" She asked.
"You listen to her nonsense." Xie Rouhui said indifferently.
Mrs. Xie leaned over and pressed Xie Yao's shoulder, dug the ground with one hand, and a handful of dirt was dug out of the cracks in the green bricks, and a few words were sprinkled on Xie Yao's face.
The head of the pocket was sprinkled with dirt, Xie Yao coughed a few times from a distance, and called out.
"Say! What's going on? Mrs. Xie shouted.
The severe pain subsided, Xie Yao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, lest Mrs. Xie refuse to save her, and poured beans into the bamboo tube to tell the old lady Xie what happened to Mrs. Xie in the first place, how to find the medicine, what medicine to find.
She put the medicine in her nail armor, and the old lady did not handle anything else, but poured the old lady's own tea. It was also the old lady's own teacup, so she took advantage of the moment of holding the tea and sprinkled the medicinal powder into it......"
“… Then he deliberately told the old lady that the Du family was making trouble, coaxed her to go over to see it, and then the blood gushed up and the effect of the medicine attacked..."
The audience was shocked.
Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Rouhui, she seemed to see clearly and seemed to be unable to see clearly, she thought that at that time, because Xie Roujia suddenly came to Dada, Xie Rouhui was locked in the tunnel and forgotten, and she was still crying with her in distress.
At that time, did you think that she felt sorry for you, and it was very silly and ridiculous to hold you and cry.
"Okay mother, as if you can't bear to grandmother. You haven't driven her to death yet. Xie Rouhui sneered. Anyway, my grandmother didn't die that time, and it wasn't at my hands. ”
"I'm not forcing her to death! It is the rules of the Xie family, the ancestral training of the Xie family, and the duties of the Dannu that she is responsible for! Mrs. Xie shouted. Why are you? She didn't compete with you for the position of Dannu. ”
Xie Yao reached out again and grabbed Mrs. Xie again.
"Great lady. Big lady. Not only that, she has always been bad-hearted. ”
“… At that time, she asked me to encourage Rouqing and Roushu to quarrel with Roujia in the school..."
“… That fall into the water was also arranged by her in advance... She was originally going to push Roujia into the water... But she didn't stand on her own and fell in..."
"....and Rou Shu was also beaten by her, but we dare not say. It can only be pushed on Roujia's head...."
Xie Yao was as if she wanted to finish all the words she had hidden all her life, and she turned over all the previous things, no matter if there were some or not, she kept talking about the real and false.
The people present were shocked, and Mrs. Xie was shocked when she heard it, and she felt dazed.
"I thought it was she who was squinted by the lust for power, and you are now so unrecognizable, but it turned out that you yourself were squinted by the lust of power and turned yourself into this." Mrs. Xie muttered, and Xie Yao's voice in her ears continued, as if she had already said that Xie Rouhui was seven or eight years old.
It's so small.
When I was so young.
She had such a heart when she was so young.
How can you have such a heart at such a young age?
It's innate, it's not that you're not upbringing, it's innate!
"Catch her for me!" Mrs. Xie shouted, stretching out her hand and pointing.
The crowd around scattered with a bang.
Such a terrible Miss Xie, where do they dare to catch it!
When Mrs. Xie's words fell, Xie Rouhui had already snorted, raised her feet and ran out.
Seeing her coming, the others were so frightened that they even crawled away, and they didn't dare to stop them at all.
Mrs. Xie was about to chase, but she was hugged by Xie Yao.
"Big lady, big lady, help me, help me, I was forced, I was forced by her...," she cried.
Mrs. Xie kicked her away and stumbled after her.
Seeing Xie Yao fall to the ground, several women wanted to help.
"That's the Gu worm, no one can solve it except the person who gave the Gu, and if it happens, it will be passed on to others." A wizard shouted.
These words made everyone retreat in fright again.
"Go chase Xie Rouhui."
"It turns out that it is such a shameless person, what qualifications does Dafang have to hold the scriptures left by his ancestors."
"That's right! Grab her and let them hand over the scriptures! ”
As these people ran, the entire Xie clan was alarmed, and the news generally came, and in order to be able to get the scriptures, more people ran to chase Xie Rouhui.
Xie Rouhui didn't run far and was caught up by the Yushan River.
"Don't come here! Come over here and I'll jump in! Xie Rouhui shouted, looking at the gathered Xie family.
"Xie Rouhui, you can stop in moderation." Mrs. Xie said Mu Ran.
"Mother, let me stop in moderation, you can give these people Gu!" Xie Rouhui shouted, and took another step back into the river, the river water at the end of the first month quickly wet the corners of her skirt.
Hearing this, everyone in the Xie family was angry and afraid.
"Under the Gu, when you die, the Gu has no solution, they only have me to rely on, they all have to listen to me, they will not and dare not disobey me, mother, our Dannu is still the biggest in the Xie family." Xie Rouhui laughed, "It's not much easier than raising sand and worshiping the gods, so that they can fear the Dannu for longer than they love the Dannu." ”
Mrs. Xie watched her walk over step by step.
"You come up." She said.
Xie Rouhui took another step back, and the river overflowed her calves.
"You give them Gu first, they are all surnamed Xie. Their blood is the same as yours, and no one can resist your Gu. She screamed, "Otherwise, I'll die for you!" I'm your only eldest daughter! If I die, you'll have nothing! ”
Saying this, she stepped back again, and the cold water of the river was biting, making her shiver and stumble on the smooth stone.
Mrs. Xie watched the blurred figure in front of her sway, and the sound of water in her ears couldn't help but stop in fright.
"Xie Rouhui!" "Don't always threaten people with your words. Words are mantras. Words are curses, and they are curses on yourself. ”
Xie Rouhui laughed.
"Yes, I'll curse myself, if you don't. I'll curse myself. I'll die to show you. I make you regret it," she said, "and what is there to pity about those things, they are the ones who should be offered to us. Look at the lowly slaves we have driven..."
When she said this, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the people who were hiding far away, and while raising her foot, she stepped on the mud of the river, and suddenly fell into it, and she could not help screaming, and the people also fell crookedly, trying to stand firm, but under her feet were all river water and smooth stones, and fell into the water with a scream, and made a splash.
"Megumi!" When Mrs. Xie saw the figure in front of her falling, she couldn't help but rush over in shock.
Xie Rouhui has been carried into the river by the water.
I can swim, I can swim, I'm not afraid.
She waved her hands and feet to swim up, but the river was still shallow at this time, and she couldn't swim up at all.
The river at the end of the first month was cold and biting, and it took away her strength in an instant.
"Help! Mother! Save me! She cried, waving her hands.
Mrs. Xie had already pounced, not caring if she would rush in, and grabbed one of her outstretched hands.
Grabbing her hand suddenly, Xie Rouhui was anxious to stand up, but the river was already deep, and she struggled so hard that she couldn't stand up, and brought Mrs. Xie down.
"Someone, someone." Mrs. Xie shouted.
Looking at the mother and daughter struggling in the river, someone in the Xie family couldn't help but run over.
"Don't go, who knows if it's done on purpose, if you go, you'll give us Gu." Someone reminded.
Those who were going to run stopped their feet.
Mrs. Xie felt that the hand she was holding was getting more and more slippery, the figure of Xie Rouhui in front of her was becoming more and more blurred, and the shouts of her mother were getting smaller and smaller.
"Someone!" Tears flowed from Mrs. Xie's eyes and she shouted, "Huihui, Huihui." ”
Her hands grew colder and stiffer, and the water grew bigger, surging layer after layer against her hands, taking away the people she was holding one by one.
Mrs. Xie's vision suddenly became clear, and she watched the face of the girl in front of her turn pale, her eyes were full of horror, and gradually disappeared with the ups and downs of the river.
Megumii! Megumii!
Mrs. Xie's eyes were dark, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't hear anything.
……………………………………………………………………
"The body of the eldest lady was found downstream three days later."
Huang Zhushu grabbed the horse and said.
As he stopped, so did the men and horses behind him, and Xie Roujia withdrew her gaze from the river, lifted her hood and looked at the mountains not far away.
"The princess of the county." Master Huang continued, stretching out his hand and pointing over there, "The eldest lady is buried on the side of the ancestral grave of the Xie family." ”
Xie Roujia nodded and did not speak.
"It was the people from Xifu who released the news that the eldest lady blinded the eldest lady and fell into the water and died in the pursuit."
"Xie Cunli of Xifu is still denouncing the evil obstacle in front of the coffin of the eldest lady...."
Xie Roujia interrupted him with a sigh.
"Where's Mrs. Xie?" She asked.
"The eldest lady is fine, but she can't see anything anymore, and she has been bedridden, and the cause can't be found, and the doctors are helpless." Huang Zhushu said, with a bit of tactfulness, "Maybe it's a heart disease." ”
"Master Xie, do you have any news?" Xie Roujia asked again.
"Not yet." Huang said.
When Xie Rouhui was about to be buried, Xie Wenxing disappeared, and he also took away a large amount of money from the Xie family, which led to the Xie family having no intention of planning a funeral, hastily burying Xie Rouhui, and bent on tracking down Xie Wenxing.
Xie Roujia was stunned for a moment.
"Go see Mrs. Xie." (To be continued......)
