Chapter 21: Wandering Spirits
"I have an idea." Liuli also shook the small fan in his hand, "This matter can't be covered up, it's better to be stiff than Li Daitao, in other words." Regardless of the outcome in the future, it is a reason. As the green bamboo pattern on the fan swayed, it made people feel as if her face was also blurred, "There is a disease called wandering soul, that is, people get up in their sleep and do this and that as if they are awake, they are actually still in their dreams." When I wake up, I forget everything I did in my dreams. ”
"You're not talking nonsense, are you? Is there such a thing? How I've never heard of it! It doesn't matter if no one pays attention, anyway, Wen Yiyun interjected persistently.
But this time, Liuli replied to her, "There are too many things you don't know, but it doesn't mean that there are no things in the world." There are many rumors about this matter, but some people say that it is possessed by an unjust soul, and some people say that they want to do something too much but can't do it, so they become dreams at night. It is said that there was once a daughter-in-law, because her mother-in-law was harsh, she always scolded her for being lazy, and she suffered from wandering spirits, and went to the well in her sleep to fetch water, and filled all the water tanks in the family. There is also a man who often builds walls in the middle of the night, and builds and dismantles them, and dismantles them and builds them. In this process, outsiders seemed to him to be no different from ordinary people, but they ignored him. Later, the wall was opened, and it was found that his brother's dead body was inside. It turned out that he killed his brother for his property and buried him in the wall. But in the end, the guilt and fear in my heart turned into a strange behavior in a dream. ”
At this point, Liuli paused, watching the women in the whole room change color in fright by the story of the corpse hidden in the wall, and continued to exert psychological pressure without hesitation, "Dream is the most real existence. You can deceive during the day, but you can reveal it at night. This is the so-called three feet above the head and there are gods, right? People are doing it, the sky is watching, and those who do evil will have to pay back sooner or later. As he spoke, he glanced at Leng Yu.
It's good, the slut gritted his teeth, but his face is pale.
"Second Miss is saying...... The second aunt may have a wandering spirit? The eldest aunt cleared her tight throat and asked.
"I mean, it's possible." Ruri also pretended to be a little scared, "At least, that's what you can say to the outside world." In this way, there is also a saying about the search for the second aunt. "An aunt with a strange illness is better than an aunt who is haunted by ghosts and is talked about outside, and it will also damage the face of the Hou Mansion.
"But it doesn't make sense?" Leng Yu frowned and said, "My sister is such a delicate woman, and she is a sentimental and sickly body, even if she has a wandering soul, how can she get out of the Cui Courtyard?" Last night, the courtyard door was tightly closed, and I saw it myself. ”
"Patients with wandering spirit often do a lot of unbelievable things. There were family members who tied up the patient and locked him in the house, but the next day he was seen running out, and no one knew how the patient did it. Could it be that there are really ghosts to help? Ruri shuddered.
"Or, third aunt, you can ask the mother-in-law who guards the door. Is the gate really not open overnight? Wen Zhiyun said.
Leng Yu's hand holding the handkerchief tightened, then stood up, walked to the door, and muttered a few words to her girl Xing'er, and Xing'er left in a hurry. After two pillars of incense, he turned back, and under Leng Yu's instructions, he went directly into the house, and replied, "The slave maid asked someone to tie up the mother-in-law, and she only scared a few words, and she summoned her." It was she who ate drunk last night, slept to death in the middle of the night, and when she got up in the morning, she found that the two courtyard doors were open. Afraid of being blamed, she secretly closed the door again. Later, when the second aunt didn't see her, she didn't dare to say anything. ”
I see! Liuli was relieved to hear everyone, it seemed that there were no ghosts in the house, and everyone was safe.
The eldest aunt said angrily, "These slaves and maids are too disagreeable, I think they have been loosely controlled recently, and they all have to make trouble." When I find my second sister, I will have to rectify it. She stroked her chest and said, "However, even if the second sister leaves the Cui Courtyard, she can't get out of the mansion, as long as she is in the mansion, she will definitely be able to find it." Quickly order down, yard by yard by yard, don't ignore even the garden and rockery. Just say it to the outside world...... The second aunt had a strange disease, geism, and she didn't know where she ran in her sleep. Her body has always been weak, and if she faints, it will be a major event. ”
The housekeepers listened to the order and immediately dispersed to do business. Here, Wen Zhiyun sent her girl to the kitchen to relieve the heat, and then prepared rain boots and umbrellas, and asked the little beans that Hou Ye had to use to send them. Of course, private words should be whispered.
Seeing that the arrangement was in place, Liuli "inadvertently" came up again, "In fact, people who are fascinated by ghosts will also sneak away in the middle of the night to go to the place where ghosts live." ”
In a word, except for Wen Yiyun, who lacks roots in his brain, the eldest aunt Hanqiao, the third aunt Leng Yu and the eldest lady Wen Zhiyun all shuddered in their hearts. Who doesn't know, the second aunt claimed to have seen Mrs. Huo's ghost a few days ago. If there is really a ghost, where is the second aunt most likely to go, do you need to say?
The eldest aunt hesitated for a moment, finally gritted her teeth and stood up, "I'll go and see the situation, the third sister is with me, and the three young ladies ......"
"I'll go with my aunt." Before the words were far away, Liuli blocked back the words of the eldest aunt.
It's good for the eldest aunt to think about it, with such a future princess in town, maybe the evil demon really doesn't dare to come forward. People say that the nobles are full of fire and heavy bones. Besides, if something really happens, Hou Ye can't blame it directly.
And when the Wen sisters saw Liuli say this, they couldn't really leave it alone. So the five of them walked out of the inner study, because the eldest aunt led the way in front, and the others did not ask, and the group seemed to be wandering around the mansion to inspect the work of the servants everywhere, but finally came to the courtyard on the central axis of the Hou Mansion that had lost the plaque.
The gate of Ailianju is closed, the front of the door is sparse and deserted, and there is a chill in the distance, where there is a feeling of the main courtyard, it is clearly a huge tomb. Before, the eldest aunt ordered the whole hospital to search, but the servants subconsciously didn't come here, because this is a forbidden place! Hou Ye "loves" Mrs. Huo deeply, and will never allow anyone to disturb the forbidden place!
However, if you pay a little attention, you will see that the big copper lock on the vermilion lacquer gate is gone!
Everyone's faces turned white! Ruri too. But she was not shocked, but felt that she was back with her sister, and her heart ached. And this just gave her cover. Her emotions were so natural that Leng Yu and Wen Zhiyun, who were secretly observing her, had no doubt.
It was all women, including the maids who were waiting behind them, so no one dared to move. An indescribable fear permeated the hearts of everyone. After all, Mrs. Huo died. After all, the second aunt said that Mrs. Huo was back. After all, something is wrong here.
"Lime, you've always been bold, go in and have a look." Ruri commanded in a stiff voice.
The eldest aunt wanted to stop it, because this was her main business, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back. Seeing the maids cowering, she suddenly wanted to take a step back. In any case, it has nothing to do with her.
Lime answered, stepping up the steps and pushing the door. But she had "little strength" and didn't push it for a while, so she had to work harder.
It seems that all the doors in ghost stories creak when pushed, and this one is no exception. About the haunted house is rarely in and out of the house, so the doors and windows are gradually stuck. And as the door opened, an indescribable sense of deep darkness came to my face, as if stepping into another world. Just a few steps away, but it is a yin and yang separation.
"Sister, shall we go back?" Wen Yiyun pulled Wen Zhiyun and begged.
Wen Zhiyun wanted to turn around and leave, but strangely she couldn't move, and she didn't know if it was because of fear or curiosity. She didn't know what Mrs. Huo was like when she died, but she was secretly happy. Because she didn't want anyone to sit in her mother's position, and she didn't want to watch her father devote himself wholeheartedly to another person, she was also afraid that Mrs. Huo gave birth to a younger brother, which would threaten her status and affect her dowry. Therefore, she cursed Mrs. Huo to die, even if that person was very tolerant and kind to her.
Ai Lian was in front, eerily silent.
For a long time, no one moved, until Liuli stepped and walked very slowly towards the courtyard. At all times, she held her head slightly up to prevent tears from falling. At the same time, look at the lime that stood there after opening the door.
This is my sister's yard, this is my sister's appearance, at this moment, there will be many people who feel that the undead are resurrected, and they will feel fear and fear. That's what she's for, because everyone standing here isn't innocent. She knows her sister that she seems to be strong, but she is actually very kind, which is known from the fact that she likes to pick up all kinds of stray small animals and beggars and old people who have lost their support when they come home. Therefore, she firmly believes that her sister is very good to the people in this house.
However, she could not blame these people for not reaching out to her sister when she was completely desperate and miserable. After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is also possible to be uninformed and powerless to help. But she absolutely could not tolerate that her sister's death would make some people applaud. At no time should one rejoice in the death of a good man.
So they are unforgivable!
"I'll take a look." Liuli stepped into the threshold with one foot, and Leng Yu behind him gritted his teeth and said.
At the same time, she walked briskly in front of Liuli with a very fierce gait.
Liuli sneered in her heart: After doing such an intolerable thing, do you dare to be desperate? Is it dark or dark? Don't worry, just wait!
As soon as Leng Yu moved, the others hesitated to follow, passing through the courtyard gates until they reached the deepest part of the main house. Leng Yu ran fast, and Liuli followed closely, so when Leng Yu suddenly stopped her steps, Liuli directly bumped into her, knocking her to her knees, facing the main house with the door wide open, the Lingtang tablet!
Screams rang out from behind Ruri.
Because everyone saw that the second aunt Leng Xiang was lying on the ground in the courtyard. On his body, he was wearing a bright red wedding dress.
Everyone knows that the big red wedding dress can only be worn in the main room!
Leng Xiang's face was as pale as a ghost, and there were thin red marks under his eyes, which seemed to be blood stains.
