Chapter 617: Hell yes
Yu Shu took Abe Aoi out of the house, and instead of taking out a penny of silver, she took a post sent by the owner of the house, so that she knew who was behind the house.
The post is written by Liu Jiong, the prince of Xiang. That is to say, the house is the property of the Xiangwang Mansion.
Liu Jiong asked someone to send the post to Yu Shu, but he didn't say anything else, and he didn't say that he wanted to meet her, a celebrity, and he looked like he was giving favors.
He was so attentive that he had nothing to do, but Yu Shu couldn't figure out what he meant, so he had to lead the people away first, and then go back to Xue Rui to mention it.
It wasn't until sitting in the carriage that Abe Aoi believed that Yu Shu really wanted to take her away, regardless of the crampedness in the car, he knelt at her feet in a daze, and repeated the words "Xie Lu Xie" vigorously, if it wasn't for Yu Shu noticing that something was wrong and quickly pulling her up, this Dongying girl would have to lie down and kiss her shoes.
Yu Shu pressed her to her side, probably checked her body, and found a lot of traces of torture, no wonder she just came out of prison, and when she arrived at the confession home, she was humiliated, she would be frightened and wanted to escape.
Abe Aoi was looked at by Yu Shula, and without any intention of resisting, he obediently knelt at her feet, and waited until Yu Shu pulled a cloak on top of her head, covering her clothes and body, and her body was warm, she couldn't help but hug her shoulders, trembling, and sobbing quietly.
Yu Shu couldn't hear people's crying, but seeing that she was really pitiful, she couldn't open her mouth to shut up, so she had to pat her head, like touching a puppy, rubbed a few handfuls, and said:
"You can understand the official language, right?"
Abe Aoi stopped crying and nodded vigorously. "Hello." After speaking, he found that something was wrong, and he hurriedly said: "I understand." β
Yu Shu let out an "um" sound, patted the top of her head with his hand for a while, and lost his mind.
She will take this child in, and she can't say what she is doing, not so much that she suddenly became kind, but rather impulsively, she really led people out, and owed Xiangwangfu a favor, and it was too late to regret it.
Cease. It is considered to be a good deed every day.
Her hand paused above her head. Tell her as concisely as possible:
"Your envoy from Dongying has committed the crime of deceiving the king, you are a prisoner who has been sentenced, and you were supposed to be locked up in the place just now to suffer, but I bought you out. From now on. You are my slave. Your life is mine, and I can keep you, but you have to listen to me. Otherwise, I'll send you back, understand? β
The head under his hand shrank for a moment, and then responded: "Aoiko understands." β
Yu Shu was satisfied with her acquaintance, so he didn't scare her anymore
Back at the mansion on Baochang Street, Yu Shu took Abe Aoi to his own yard, recruited kidney beans, handed them over to her to clean up, and then went to Zhao Hui to ask for some stick sore medicine and apply it to her.
Xin'er and Lin'er just arrived, competing to behave in front of Yu Shu, without her instructions, one fetched water and handed a handkerchief, the other made tea and played a fan, waited for Yu Shu to change her clothes and shoes, and when she sat on the couch, she knelt on the footstool to pinch her shoulders and rub her legs.
Yu Shu, who was waiting, was so uncomfortable that she wanted to squint for a while, but she closed her eyes and fell asleep, but this sleep was in the evening, and it was Kidney Bean who came in to wake her up.
Yu Shu sat up cross-legged, and as soon as she stretched her waist, Lin Er added a cushion to her back, which was very eye-catching.
Kidney Dou saw the two new actions, and felt depressed, it was originally her business, but now it was divided by others, and she enjoyed it a lot when she saw the girl, so how could she be happy.
No, she has to be more motivated, and she can't let the newcomer go down.
"Girl, the man has washed and wiped the medicine, do you want to bring it over to you?"
"Bring it."
Yu Shu gave an order, and after a while, Abe Aoi was brought to her. The Dongying girl who changed into a maid dress was not as delicate as she had seen at the water and land conference, but her fair skin and light pupil color still made her different from ordinary people.
"Master." As soon as Abe Aoi entered the room, he knelt down, his knees on the ground, his hands on the side of his face, face down, the tip of his nose rubbed the floor, and he knelt in an unambiguous posture to show respect.
This kind of gift made several maids in the house look at each other.
Yu Shu waved his hand, asked them all to go out, and asked Abe Aoi to stand up and ask.
"Your name is Abe Aoi, is that your real name?"
"Master, my real name is Aoiko, and Abe is a fake surname they gave me," she said with a look of shame, "I am a pariah, and I don't deserve a surname." β
Untouchables?
Yu Shuhu said suspiciously: "Who taught you to speak Chinese, I think you are more fluent than the envoy named Jiro Yamada." β
"It was my mother who taught me that she was a prostitute, very smart, and learned Chinese with a benefactor, and when I was young, she always told me about the Da'an Dynasty, and she also taught me to write calligraphy." Speaking of her mother, who is a prostitute, Abe Aoi did not feel ashamed of herself, but showed a sad expression.
Yu Shu listened to her life experience, and suddenly wondered how she followed the Dongying envoy group to Da'an Pit to abduct and deceive, is it because her eyes are strange and convenient to bluff people?
Yu Shu remembered that the first time she saw this child, she was stared at by her eyes, so she paid attention and did today's "good deed".
"What's going on with your eyes?" Is it genetic, or is it a lesion?
After asking this sentence, Yu Shu saw Abe Aoi's face showing a look of panic, she lowered her head suddenly, her body shrunk into a ball, and she wished that she could disappear immediately in front of Yu Shu.
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Shu wondered how she reacted.
"Please, master, keep me, don't send me back, please!" Abe Aoi suddenly grabbed the ground with his head and kowtowed to Yu Shu vigorously.
Yu Shu was startled by her startle, and then straightened his face and scolded: "What are you doing, shut up and get up!" β
Abe Aoi was also obedient, shivered, then held back her crying and got up honestly, her head buried in her chest, and she didn't dare to look up at Yu Shu.
"Whatever I ask you, you can say anything, don't cry, do you hear?"
"Hello."
"I asked you what was going on with your eyes, what are you crying about?"
"Aoi seeds, sunflower seeds are ominous people."
The more Yu Shu listened, the more confused he became, "What is an ominous person?" β
"My eyes can see dead ghosts." Abe's voice was crying, low and inaudible.
Yu Shu was stunned, yin and yang eyes?
Abe Aoi didn't see Yu Shu talking, worried, and whispered: "For as long as I can remember, I found that I am different from others, when I was young, I lived in a brothel with my mother, and one winter was very cold, and a cat raised by Aunt Keiko was frozen to death"
She fell into a memory, the tabby cat had golden fur, and liked to lie in the sun and play with its tail, and then Aunt Keiko found it frozen to death under the corridor, covered in black mud, stiff as a stone, and they buried its body at the bottom of the tree, and at night, she saw a ball of light come out of the dirt, and float there, lingering, until the seventh day, when the light dissipated.
Later, she told her mother about it, but she didn't believe it, and laughed that she was dazzled, and then later, someone died in the brothel, and she saw the same thing in the dead man, and when she told her mother, she couldn't laugh.
So her mother made a pact with her not to tell anyone else about the secret, and she agreed, but she failed to keep it. Slowly, more and more people learned about her secrets, and the eyes of the people who looked at her gradually became disgusted and afraid, they said that she could see the ghosts of the dead, and they said that she was an ominous person.
A year ago, she and her mother were brought to Kyoto by an adult to sacrifice her to the Ashikaga Shogun, and since then, she has had to face different corpses every day, and sometimes, even sleeping in the pile of dead.
After the last, she followed the envoys and came to Da'an.
She finished her story in fits and starts, and there was a silence in the room.
If another person hears about such a strange thing, it is probably unbelievable, but Yu Shu is not an ordinary person, she herself has had a more bizarre experience than this, she can pass through it from five hundred years ago, and others can't see ghosts for anything.
What's more, Abe Aoi has no reason to lie to her, lying to her, it doesn't do any good at all.
"To be more clear, can you see the light coming from the dead people, their ghosts? What are the ghosts like, can they see you? Yu Shu's interest was aroused.
Abe Aoi was originally ready to be disgusted by her, and quietly raised her head when she heard the words, but when she saw that she didn't look scared at all on her face, she was immediately relieved, and told her resignedly:
"As soon as a person dies, the soul leaves the body, they stay around the corpse, and after seven days they disperse, and the ghost has no shape, just a ball of light, and it doesn't speak, it doesn't run around, it only has a different color."
Yu Shu thought for a while, and then asked, "How did you know the name of the dead criminal in Lu Dao and what crime he committed during the water and land conference." β
The trick of letting the dead live on the dog was exposed by Zhu Qingjue because of drugs, but Abe Aoi accurately said the identity of the deceased, but it became a suspense.
"That'sβthat's because," Abe stammered a little, "half a year ago, I found that I could see not only the ghosts of the dead, but also the souls of the dying. The day before the land and water conference, Yamada-sama bribed your officials and took me around the prison and let me meet some of the condemned prisoners, and inquired about all the prisoners whose souls I could see, so I found out who the prisoner was. β
Yu Shu suddenly realized, and then there was surprise - Abe Aoi could see the ghost of the dead, to put it bluntly, it was useless, but she could see that the dying person had an omen of an out-of-body soul, and this was the key!
Her heart beat two points faster, she sat up from the couch, she didn't wear shoes, she walked back and forth in the room a few times barefoot, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she suddenly stopped, turned her head, stared at the trembling Abe Aoi, the corners of her mouth slowly grinned, and almost jumped up with excitement-
With this child, her death-breaking thaumaturgy will not be changed from fake to true! (To be continued......)
