Chapter 59: Hell
Out of Qingyin Pavilion, several people searched separately along the road to Gongfang, and almost searched this area, but they couldn't find Yilan and the two, which was really strange.
"Where the hell did you go?" Ling Ruo was anxious, how could the two of them say that they would disappear if they didn't see each other, and in a hurry, she suddenly saw a faint figure flashing at the light in front of her, the back looked like Moyu, and she didn't know where to go, she hurriedly called Li Wei to chase after the figure with her, shouting while chasing, it stands to reason that this is not far away, they should hear it when they shouted so loudly, but "Moyu" not only ignored it, but instead sped up and turned around a corner and disappeared, and when Ling Ruo and they quickly chased after the corner, the front was empty, where is there still a figure.
After taking a look at the familiar scenery around him, Ling Ruo suddenly said, "Hey, isn't this a kitchen?" How did we get here? ”
The place where they are standing now is exactly the door of the kitchen, and at this moment the kitchen is brightly lit, the figures are shaking, and various sounds are heard from time to time, obviously preparing snacks for the masters of the play, Fujin.
"Master, the slave feels that something seems to be wrong, let's go back quickly, as for Moyu and Second Miss, as long as they can always be found in this mansion." Li Wei's mind has always been cautious, and he only cares about chasing the figure that looks like Moyu and doesn't have time to think about things, but now he stops and thinks about it carefully, and suddenly feels a little strange, that person seems to be deliberately attracting them here. Although he didn't know what the intention was, he had a hint of foreboding.
Ling Ruo also felt that something was wrong, nodded and was about to help Li Wei's hand to leave, when suddenly the kitchen door opened, and a middle-aged man with a loyal face walked out with a large copper pot made of dragon and phoenix, Ling Ruo knew him, he was the chef in charge of making dim sum in the house, called Li Zhong, and the pine nut cake was from him.
As he walked, he turned around and urged the apprentice behind him who was holding a red lacquer tray in both hands, "Go faster, don't let the masters wait." After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw Ling Ruo, who had not had time to leave, and was stunned, and hurriedly put down the copper kettle and saluted with the apprentice, "The slave asks Ling Fujin for peace, Ling Fujin is auspicious." ”
The more you don't want to be seen, the easier it is to be seen, the world is always so impermanent, Ling Ruo reluctantly retracted his steps and motioned for them to get up, "Where are you going?" ”
Seeing her question, Li Zhong hurriedly smiled and said, "Back to Ling Fujin, the slave just boiled a pot of water, isn't this going to Qingyin Pavilion to make almond tea for the masters?" It's Fujin, aren't you watching a play in Qingyin Pavilion, why did you come here? ”
"My master accidentally left his beloved object when he passed by here just now, and he came back to look for it." Li Wei blurted out in a hurry, and it was a shame that he really had to pass through here to go to Qingyin Pavilion, otherwise he really didn't know what reason he had to find to make it seem reasonable.
"I don't know if Fujin has found it, if not, you tell the minion what it is, and the minion will help you find it." Li Zhong said cautiously.
"That's it, I didn't see it after looking around, maybe it didn't fall here." Ling Ruo dealt with it casually, afraid that if he asked more, he would show his feet, so he changed the topic and said: "Almond tea must be washed with boiling water to be delicious, once the water is cooled and then flushed, it will not be able to wash out that taste, you better hurry up, I will come later." ”
was mentioned by her like this, Li Zhong also remembered, the water of this dragon and phoenix copper kettle boiled for a while, and it was really going to cool down again, he hurriedly agreed to mention the copper kettle and left, and the little apprentice followed closely behind.
"Master, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go too." After Li Zhong and the two walked away, Li Wei whispered to Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo nodded, put his hand on Li Wei's arm again, and was about to take a step when his heart moved, he pulled out the Seven Treasures Exquisite Hairpin in the middle of his hair, and after a little hesitation, he resolutely threw it into the bushes next to him. The best way to keep a lie from being exposed is to make it true.
Ling Ruo didn't know that not long after she left, a figure appeared where she had been before, and after a brief pause, the man picked up the Seven Treasure Exquisite Hairpin from behind the bushes that still shone dazzlingly in the dark.
The shadows of the trees are heavy, and the night wind seems to sound when it passes through the trees, accompanied by the shaking shadows of the trees, like ghosts and ghosts shuttling through this darkness.
Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. At this time, Ling Ruo didn't know that a big net against her had been woven and was gradually starting to tighten!
When Ling Ruo rushed back to Qingyin Pavilion, the drama on the stage had already been sung to the end, and Li Zhongzheng was brewing almond tea for everyone one by one, and the pure fragrance of almond tea alone permeated the entire Qingyin Pavilion.
"How? Did you find Elan Island? Seeing that Shui Xiu and the others had returned, she hurriedly asked, and when she learned that there was still no news, her heart suddenly sank, if Yilan really had some accidents in the house, how would she explain to Ama and Eniang.
Seeing that Ling Ruo was uneasy, Li Wei persuaded: "Master, you should be patient first, the slave always felt that there was an evil aura in that incident just now, in order to avoid accidents, it is best for you to stay in the Qingyin Pavilion before the play ends." The slave is still the same sentence, as long as the second lady is in this mansion, she can still find it. ”
"That's it." Ling Ruo couldn't think of a better way, so she had to sit down in the chair with an anxious mood according to her words, but this scene couldn't be watched anyway, she just hoped that the curtain would end soon, so she could go to find Yilan, if she really couldn't find it, she had to tell Yinzhen to know, and let him send more people to find it.
"Sister! Sister! Just when Ling Ruo was left without a master, Yilan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he didn't care about the surprised gaze of the Guerjia clan next to him, so he suddenly got up and looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Yilan and Moyu bending over and walking towards her quickly.
Ling Ruo hugged Yilan's small body and threw him into his arms, as if he was hugging a rare treasure that had been lost and recovered, he was excited, and when he calmed down, he was about to ask where Yilan had gone, when he suddenly found that Yilan's body was trembling slightly under his arm, and he looked at Mo Yu with a panicked look.
"But something happened?" She knew that something must have happened to the Dao, otherwise Moyu would not be like this.
Mo Yu took the tea handed by Li Wei and drank a few sips before describing the previous events in detail. It turned out that she took Yilan to relieve her hands, and on the way back, somehow, several lamp towers there were extinguished together. You must know that every place in the lamp tower is protected by copper wire, and there is a special person to guard and add lamp oil, never extinguish the night, Moyu has been in the house for more than a year, but the street lights have never been extinguished at night.
When there was a lamp, I didn't feel it, but now it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, as if a monster would jump out of the darkness at any time, which really scared the two of them, and although Mo Yu was very scared in her heart, she still tried to pretend to be calm to comfort Yilan, and groped her way along the way she came.
The road seemed to have no end, no matter how far they walked, there was always endless darkness around them, and along with the darkness came a deep fear, and even though she held Moyu's hand tightly, Yilan still trembled with fear; At this time, they suddenly smelled a strong aroma, and at the same time as the fragrance entered their noses, Yilan saw a white shadow floating in front of her, which frightened her and made her scream immediately, waving her hands and feet and shouting in panic, "Ghost! Ghost! Help me!
Although Mo Yu didn't see the white shadow, he was frightened by the word "ghost" of Yilan, and was about to pick up Yilan and leave this strange place, when a pale and bloodless woman's face suddenly appeared in front of him without warning, with a long purple tongue stretched out, and blood dripping from both eyes.
Moyu was suddenly stimulated by this, and she couldn't bear it and fainted immediately, and when she fell, she just pressed on Yilan, causing her to fall together, and her head happened to hit the bluestone ground and fainted.
Moyu didn't know how long it took, but when she woke up, the person was no longer in place, but at the Huanyi place that was a lot of way away, and I don't know how she came over, but fortunately Yilan was next to her, and she quickly woke up Yilan to leave this strange place.
"Sister, it's really scary, that white shadow walks without feet." Yilan said with trepidation, "But I didn't see the face that Moyu said. ”
Ling Ruo listened to the more they talked, the more it looked like the same thing, and couldn't help but scold: "Hugh is talking nonsense, how can there be ghosts and gods in this world, not to mention that this is near the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if there are really ghosts and gods, they are shocked by the breath of the Son of Heaven and dare not approach.
Although they spoke quietly, but the Guerjia clan was close at hand, and these words fell into her ears without a word, and she immediately leaned over and said mysteriously: "Sister, don't believe it, if there are really no ghosts and gods in the world, then why are there so many people who are in awe and fear, burning incense and worshiping God; The ancestors even passed down the saying that the ghosts returned to the sun during the Midyear Festival. As for my sister's statement that the ghosts and gods at the feet of the Son of Heaven dare not approach, I will tell you. She glanced around and said in a low voice: "In addition to the border battlefield and the prison, there is no place with the most dead people in this world than the Forbidden City, where eunuchs and palace maids often disappear, and even the soil under the bricks is red, I heard that it is often haunted!" ”
Yilan was already afraid, but now when she said it, her little face turned pale with fright, and she buried her head in Ling Ruo's arms and didn't dare to raise it, "Sister, I'm afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid, with my sister here, no one can hurt Ilan." After Ling Ruo comforted Yilan, he glanced at the Guerjia clan, frowned slightly, and said, "I didn't expect my sister to believe in ghosts and gods like this. ”
"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. What's more, Moyu and Ling Mei both saw it really, could it be fake? In my opinion, sister, you'd better go to the temple and ask for a few talismans. Gualjia kindly reminded.
Ling Ruoying smiled disapprovingly and said: "Thank you sister for your concern, but my sister always feels that ghosts and gods are only in the heart, and if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. ”
She never believed in ghosts and gods, people die like lights go out, and the ghost asking for her life is just a lie to the world.
