No.170 Haunted, Taoist priest
Wu Fu invited two senior monks and ordinary monks from Ningyun Temple in Kangde Town to the mansion and asked them to chant the scriptures in the mansion for three consecutive days.
Since that night, there has been no haunting, and after the three days of chanting the scriptures, everyone in the Wu Mansion felt that this ghost was suppressed, so they settled down.
Wu Ye also felt that this chanting of the scriptures had played a role, and the whole person was in good spirits, and he was no longer suspicious of the grass and trees. After sending off the monks, Wu Ye felt that he had finally come back to life, and finally slept peacefully for the night.
On the second day, she returned to the old place, brought back the shelf of the housewife, sat on the top, first gathered all the concubines and children in their second room, and spoke tepidly and cleaned up a few concubines and concubines who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. There are no concubines in the second room, only concubines. Because she absolutely did not allow them to have a concubine in the second room, in order not to leave any trouble, she dealt with it early.
After that, she called the eldest lady and the third lady, that is, the eldest lady and the third lady. When the people arrived, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers as if she didn't see them, neither inviting them to sit nor letting them go. The eldest lady and the third lady were extremely unhappy, but they did not turn around and leave, but sat down with a blank face.
After a long time, Wu Yeshi seemed to have fiddled with his fingers, slowly raised his head, saw the eldest lady and the third lady, and said with a surprised face, "Yo, it turns out that the eldest sister-in-law and the third brother and sister have already come, I was thinking about things here, and I was distracted all of a sudden, and I didn't pay attention to when the eldest sister-in-law and the third brother and sister came in, I really should fight." ”
The eldest lady did not speak with a smile.
The third lady raised her eyes lazily and said with a gentle face, "As the saying goes, this noble person forgets a lot, and an insignificant second sister-in-law like us is naturally easy to forget." ”
Wu Ye raised his eyebrows, "Oh, brother and sister, is it okay for the second sister-in-law to be wrong?" You also know that the second sister-in-law has been too busy recently, and her body has collapsed, at this time, you are not allowed to pick the second sister-in-law's reason! ”
The third lady took care of her sideburns, "The second sister-in-law has a lot of things to do, and she is busy running before and after the second brother's affairs, and she has to worry about Tianbin's illness, plus the second sister-in-law's hospital has not been peaceful in recent days." This matter is in a hurry, and the second sister-in-law, who is a nobleman, naturally has no leisure to take us concubines in her eyes. We understand, the second sister-in-law doesn't have to be tired to explain these things by herself, we understand, we don't blame the second sister-in-law at all. Isn't it, sister-in-law? ”
The eldest lady didn't answer the words of the third lady, and looked at Wu Ye with a smile, "Second lady, is there something wrong?" My family Hao'er is sick, and it is the time to leave my mother. "It means that if there is something to talk about quickly, and if there is a fart, she has no time to play tricks with Wu Ye's family. In the past, no matter what, she had to call Wu Ye's second brother and sister on face, but now she is even exempted from the title of younger brother and sister, and directly calls the second lady, making it clear that she wants to draw a line with the second room.
Wu Ye's anger was not light, and he slapped the table, "Are we still a family?" Is it a family? The brothers are still locked in the yamen, and you are all restless, so if you don't help your brothers, forget it, and dig into the corners of your own family everywhere. How long did your hand stretch while I was sick? How much did you loot from the school? I have a mirror in my heart. ”
The eldest lady had a cold face, "Second lady, don't eat indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense." You want to frame you, I'm sorry, you're looking for the wrong person. With that, he got up and walked out.
Wu Ye hated it very much, "You! ”
The eldest lady turned back as she stepped out of the threshold, "Second lady, speak with your conscience." Over the years, my father and mother have favored you and asked you to take care of the house, how much you have scavenged from the public, our big house is not interested in knowing, our big house is only interested in our share of family wealth. Besides, don't mention any family to me again, so that outsiders can hear it, but they will laugh off their big teeth. In the summer of the year before last, the eldest lord had something to ask for the second master, and the second master only cared about hugging the prostitute and playing with it, but had he ever helped the eldest master in the slightest? And you, the second lady, pretended to have a headache for a thousand taels of silver and avoided meeting, so that our big house was mocked in front of people. ”
Wu Ye never expected that the eldest lady would mention the old things, and immediately came back to his senses, it seems that today the eldest lady can only come soft, not hard. Thinking of this, she immediately stood up and wanted to go over to pull Mrs. Da, "Hey, sister-in-law, didn't you make it all clear?" At that time, I was really sick, my mother can testify, and ......"
The eldest lady waved away Wu Ye's outstretched hand, "Don't come to this set." Then he walked away without looking back.
Wu Ye's face turned blue, and he turned his face angrily and glared at the third lady who was sitting on the side watching the excitement, "Third brother and sister, you and your sister-in-law took three thousand taels of silver from the account of the public middle school the day before yesterday, and give you three days, and you must return it within three days." Do you hear that? ”
The third lady sighed, "Second sister-in-law, the silver was taken by the eldest sister-in-law, not me, what are you angry with me?" You can't tell me at all! "Okay, okay, don't be angry, sister-in-law is angry, it's not okay to be hard." In my opinion, the second sister-in-law had better tell her father and mother to know, so that her father and mother would listen to and believe the way of the sister-in-law! She got up as she spoke, sighing as she walked out, "Alas! There is no end to this day. ”
The anger on Wu Ye's face immediately vanished, and he sat back with a calm face.
The grandmother beside her said worriedly, "Madam, the eldest lady and the third lady are afraid that they have joined forces, what should I do?" ”
Wu Ye didn't care much about the authentic and said, "Let them toss, the more they toss, the more their parents look down on them, and the more stable Mrs. Ben's position as the housewife will be." ”
Mama, "But the master is still locked in the yamen, and if the master falls, it will be very unfavorable to the lady." ”
Wu Ye snorted, pursed his lips and did not speak. As long as her mother's family does not fall, she will still dominate the Wu family, and the eldest lady and the third lady together are not her opponents. She has already seen through Wu Zhenjiang's ruthlessness, and she can only rely on her two sons in the future. She has to save her son, she has to find a way to save her son's life, she doesn't care whether Wu Zhenjiang is dead or alive. That man really broke her heart, otherwise how could she have killed Ye Lan by mistake out of control!
At present, there is only Gu Qingshu who is suitable for her son Chongxi. What if she killed Ye Lan? Since it is not good, since it can't be carried seriously by eight hundred sedan chairs, Gu Qingshu entered the door to give her son Chongxi, so she came to the dark. What she has is the means. Hum! Eight sedan chairs can't be lifted, and Ming Media is marrying or not, okay, she will let Gu Qingshu be a slave for her son for a lifetime.
She sat there quietly and pondered for a while, feeling that this matter had to be done slowly, and that there should be no rush. This time, Yiqiē has to be arranged properly, and it must not be like dealing with Ye Lan back then, and there was a business trip in the middle, which made people mess up. Back then, she could have ruined Ye Lan's innocence, but she never expected Gu Yunhu to destroy it.
Thinking of this, she went to Mrs. Wu's side to ask for peace, and by the way, she mentioned with an embarrassed face that the eldest lady and the third lady had privately taken three thousand taels of silver from the account of the public middle school.
Old Madam Wu frowned when she heard this, but did not speak.
Wu Ye wisely stopped mentioning this, sat with Mrs. Wu for a while, and went back. At night, she put a pair of scissors under the pillow and lay down, and there was a maid and a mother-in-law in the house to accompany her, and she slept peacefully.
When it was ugly, two black shadows appeared silently on the roof of Wu Ye's courtyard. After a while, a black figure put on a woman's plain white dress, took a mask and put it on, and then pulled the strap of the hair, and the hair immediately fell apart. The man combed his hair with his fingers a few times, and finally tied the plain white woman's belt that he had prepared, and nodded to his companion to indicate that he was ready.
Immediately, the man in black hooked his feet upside down on the eaves, and the whole person hung on the eaves, and the window bolt was opened at once. The window opened, and the man in black held the window frame with his hands, and while moving his feet against the eaves, he jumped into the room with a soft and light body like an acrobat, without making any sound.
Although the light in the room was very dim, he quickly came to the bed without any stumbling, took out a piece of cloth from his body and covered Wu Ye's mouth and nose, silently counted from one to ten in his heart, and then took the cloth away and put it away. After that, he first probed Wu Ye's snort, then ripped off the quilt on Wu Ye's body, carried the unconscious Wu Yeshi out of bed and put him on the ground, and then took out a water bag or something like that from the special bag behind him. He unplugged the thing, poured it on the mattress, then wiped the inside of the quilt with the mouth of the thing, pressed the stopper, and put it back in the burden behind him.
He covered the quilt over something that had fallen on the mattress, and then carried Wu Ye to the window like a sack.
The man in white picked up Wu Yeshi from the window, and when the man in black jumped out of the house, closed the window and went to the roof, he carried Wu Ye's "float" to the flowers in the courtyard, and then condescendingly threw Wu Ye's under the roots of the flowers.
The man in black hid on the rooftop, condescendingly observing the entire Wu Mansion.
And the man in white stood on the courtyard wall of Wu Ye's family, where Wu Ye's woke up and could see it at first glance, calculating the time, waiting for the moment when Wu Ye's woke up.
It didn't take long, and it was only about fifty counts, and Bai Ying'er stood on the courtyard wall and cried in a soft and poignant voice of a weak woman.
Wu Ye, who was lying under the flowers, moved.
Bai Ying'er cried even more poignantly, and occasionally called, Ye Zi, Sister Zi, etc.
Wu Ye groaned in pain, clasped his hands tightly, and soon woke up. Her eyes widened, and she hugged her head and screamed as she caught the coldness beneath her, the darkness in front of her, and the white shadow that called out to Sister Purple from time to time in a low sob.
Bai Ying'er called out to "Sister Zi" and slowly floated over.
Fear made Wu Ye's eyes widen and he screamed.
The white shadow giggled and floated over her head.
The maid who was woken up by Wu Ye's screams was rushing out of the house. In the dim night, white is the most dazzling storage zài. Wu Ye's screaming lying on the ground, and the "ghost" floating above Wu Ye's head made the maid close her eyes and scream.
The white shadow didn't look back, giggled and floated to the roof opposite, silently touching the mechanism on his wrist, and retracting something as thin as a thread with a few clicks. And this small sound became the most insignificant movement in the screams of a few people below, and no one would pay attention to it at all.
When Wu Ye's courtyard was noisy and brightly lit, the two black shadows had already left the Wu Mansion, and with the help of their unique tools, they had already glided through the city wall approaching the county seat.
This is the second time, and it is already the second time. Wu Ye collapsed. In the same way, she woke up under the flowers in the courtyard; In the same way, the ghost called to her and floated towards her; Similarly, she was left with a shocking pool of blood on her bed.
Frightened and cold, Wu Yeshi was not as lucky as last time, she was sick, and she couldn't get out of bed.
Master Wu was furious, and he personally led people to check and found nothing famous. In the end, he privately found a catcher who owed him a favor, and asked the catcher to help watch the scene, hoping to find clues. It's a pity that the catch quickly looked and looked, but it also found nothing. If it is artificial, move people from the house to the flowers in the courtyard, at least the footprints should be left in the courtyard! But it's strange here, but there are no suspicious footprints in the courtyard. Moreover, the doors and windows are in good condition, and there is no trace of vandalism at all. At this moment, except for Master Wu, everyone in the entire mansion believed that it was the ghost of the Gu Ye clan who was doing trouble.
Eat, can't eat; Sleep, can't sleep. In just two days, Wu Ye's whole person was out of phase. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were blank, and his eyes were dark. At night, she held the maid's hand and did not let go, and did not let the lights out, and the oil lamps must be lit until dawn before people blow them out.
Mrs. Wu was also scared enough, and sat in the nunnery all day long knocking wooden fish.
On the third day of Wu Ye's illness, a Taoist priest from all over the world came to the county seat. This Taoist priest has a white beard, white eyebrows, white hair, and a face full of wrinkles, and he looks at least seventy or eighty years old, but the whole person is very healthy. The old Taoist priest held a whisk in his hand, carrying a bamboo cage on his back, and the hilt of the peachwood sword contained inside was exposed. And a small banner inserted on the cage reads "Kill demons and demons, exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits".
