Chapter 17: Bewitched by Ghosts
Leng Xiang stood there, not daring to move. The great fear was like a nail that nailed her to the ground.
However, the woman in red moved. One step, one step forward, from the shadow into the shadow of the moon. Her face could be seen clearly in the moonlight, it belonged to Huo Honglian, and at this time, the seven orifices were bleeding, but she smiled, "Leng Xiang, come with me." Anyway, you can't run. ”
The white hand was stretched out. Leng Xiang screamed and fainted directly.
I don't know how long it took, but she only felt a dull pain in her wrist, and suddenly woke up, only to find herself lying on the ground.
The night is as cold as water, and the drums outside are beating three times. The pale moonlight shone on the window lattice, and the branches and leaves of the flowers and trees in the courtyard swayed gently, reflecting the window screen, like the hand of a little ghost, and then called to her: Come, go to hell together!
Leng Xiang shivered and looked to her side.
There was no eldest lady, but there was a pool of blood on the ground. No, not blood, but the big red satin spread on the ground. Look closely, there is a faint embroidery of lotus patterns on the top, which is the eldest lady's favorite pattern. But since the eldest lady is gone, this kind of pattern of fabric is not allowed to appear in the Ning'an Hou Mansion, because the eldest lady's name has the word "lotus", and the ponds and lakes in the mansion cannot even be planted with lotus flowers. Outsiders are affectionate, and who knows the fear and uneasiness implied in it.
So, where did this fabric come from?
Leng Xiang desperately got up and went outside to shake the peach. But no matter how hard she tried or how she screamed, she was obviously a living person, but she just didn't wake up like she had fallen asleep. Not only Tao'er, but she tossed such a big movement, and the other maids and servants in the courtyard did not respond.
It's ghost-stricken! Only when the ghost holds the soul knot will he be like the living dead.
Leng Xiang ran to the yard, only to feel that the whole world was sleeping, and she was the only one awake. That fear is a kind of boundless loneliness, as if facing death.
So, Leng Xiang fainted again.
At this time, in Mo Yuxuan, although the gate was closed, only the lantern hanging under the corridor of the courtyard shimmered, but a black shadow came through the ridge of the room and directly entered the main house of the inner courtyard, and there was no announcement.
Ruri stood in front of the window, looking up and looking out at the moonlight.
"Did it go well?" She asked in a low voice. Although the light is not good, the eyes have long been accustomed to the darkness, so they can see clearly.
"Miss, remove the word '?'." Lime, who was dressed as Huo Honglian, also replied in a low voice, but couldn't hide her excitement.
Sure enough, I answered that sentence, I didn't do anything bad in my life, and I didn't feel shocked when I knocked on the door in the middle of the night. The slut felt ashamed, and the slave maid took a look, and she was scared to death. finally woke up, and when she saw that the people around her couldn't wake up, she fainted again after screaming a few times. Those people were ordered to sleep by slaves and maids, and it was strange that they could wake up! Is...... wasted the slave's acting skills. The slave practiced a day's sinister laughter, but it didn't work. ”
"Miss, I also feel sorry for you." Liuli pursed her lips, "However, this is because Leng Yu was so well scared before, and you made a fuss in broad daylight, so it was a bottom in her heart, and it was much easier for you to act just now." Don't be careless, the hard stuff is ahead. ”
"The slave knows." Although Lime is not very ruly, she is not ambiguous at all in business," before, when the slave maid was guarding her bedside, she saw that she had nightmares all the time, and kept shouting vaguely, "Miss, I can't help it...... The slave is forced, and if the young lady does not die, he will not be able to go well. ”
Lime pinched her throat and learned vividly.
"Okay, in the middle of the night, I heard a lot of panic." Qingdai had been standing quietly not far from Liuli, listening to Miss Hou's instructions, and couldn't help but interject at this time.
Lime, this girl, will always be so careless, don't you know how much the death of the eldest lady has affected the young lady? actually described the dream of Leng Xiang in a vivid way, isn't that a reproduction of the scene of that day? How sad that young lady must be.
peeked at it, but saw that Liuli was very calm, and it seemed that he really saw it, and he was secretly relieved.
She still remembers that at that time, the young lady got the letter, did not eat, sleep or speak for three days and three nights, and later tried to commit suicide, and no one could stop the madness, using all kinds of tragic ways. What is said in this life is to repay, God does not give a chance, she has to ask in person to find out. If it weren't for the water gang leader, who never left an inch, and later forcibly took the young lady to the mountains outside Ning'an Town, she saw the city full of Su Min with her own eyes, and saw that the people volunteered to wear filial piety for the eldest lady, she couldn't cry that sound, and she couldn't say that: Sister's life is also worth it!
After the fire in the Huo family, they went incognito, entered the Cao Gang, and hibernated for three years before they had today's start.
"Let's go and change this outfit." Thinking about it, Qing Dai grabbed the lime, "What's wrong with being addicted?" If it weren't for the fact that the young lady was familiar with the eldest lady's dress and tone of movements, you wouldn't be able to imitate it like this. ”
Lime also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and while walking outside with Qing Dai, she touched the "blood" flowing from the seven orifices with her hand, and put her finger in her mouth to suck, "What is this made of?" It's sticky, it's a little sweet, and it's delicious. ”
"Syrup!" Qing Dai glared at Lime angrily, "I know that I can't eat and play, and I can't do anything serious!" ”
Watching the two girls leave, Liuli couldn't help but upturn the corners of her lips.
What's not to see? In the three years of dormancy, she studied those people and things every day, and she could already face them calmly. Otherwise, how to take revenge? Revenge is a technical job, impulsiveness and uncontrollable emotions are not good, you can only put yourself in it.
Now, an ant has begun to burrow out of anxiety and cowardice. Is this thousand-mile causeway far from collapse?
She waited.
The next day, the Red Courtyard was opened, saying that the second aunt had a cold and was sick again, and this time the illness was menacing.
In the summer, everyone is afraid of the heat, she caught a cold, and the eldest aunt heard the letter and sneered, "This sick Xi Shi has another moth, and he will feel more pity when he looks at the Hou Ye." ”
Cheng's mother on the side wanted to speak and stopped.
"What can't you say to me?" Seeing this, the eldest aunt couldn't help but ask.
She doesn't care about herself, but the children left behind by Mrs. Xuan, she must protect. When they start a family, marry a wife, and have children, she will be able to let go of this burden. For this reason, she usually gives a few housekeepers benefits, and they get along very well.
"The slave maid heard some rumors without a shadow, I am afraid that the people are shallow and spread it indiscriminately, and they don't have to let the aunt beat the slave and maid when they say it." Cheng's mother said.
The eldest aunt knew that if she really didn't want to let herself know, she wouldn't show her traces, so she immediately said, "It's okay to say it and listen to it." The housekeeper every day can't go outside a few times a year, which is boring. I know those rumors best, the more they spread, the more true they become, if they are really excessive, just restrain them in advance. Hou Ye's reputation is the most important, but he can't go wrong. ”
Cheng's mother hesitated again, and then she approached the eldest aunt's ear, lowered her voice and said, "The news from the Red Courtyard is...... Last night was haunted. ”
"Haunted?" The eldest aunt was startled and stood up.
"You'd rather be quiet." Cheng's mother pressed the eldest aunt lightly and sat down again, "I heard that the maids and women waiting in the courtyard slept soundly last night, and they didn't hear any movement." When I got up in the morning, I saw my second aunt fainting in the yard, and after waking up, I was a little delirious, and kept saying: Don't come to me, I don't want to, I was forced. It's like ...... What have you done to break your conscience? After speaking, he glanced at the eldest aunt very quickly.
The eldest aunt was silent, but her heart was turbulent.
How did Mrs. Xuan die? How did Mrs. Huo die? It's all weird. His own Mrs. Xuan gave up, and for the sake of Master Hou's heirs, she ruined her body, and she was sick in bed for several years. What about Mrs. Huo in the back? Such a strong woman...... It was said that it was a miscarriage, one corpse and two lives, but she didn't believe it. With such a strong body and bones, the nostalgia has always been very good......
The thought of this sent chills all over her body. There are many things that cannot be revealed, even if you doubt it, you have to keep it in your heart, otherwise you don't know how to die. Ning'an Hou's Mansion is full of flowers on the outside, who knows how dark it is inside.
"Say...... What the hell? Controlling her voice, the eldest aunt asked calmly.
"Nobody sees anything." Cheng's mother pondered the words, "But listening to the second aunt's words, it seems to be ...... It seems that Mrs. Huo is back. ”
Sure enough! When Mrs. Huo was pregnant for seven months, only the second and third aunts were left to wait for her, and their words were not believed by outsiders. The so-called day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent thieves. If that's the case, it's not a pity for the two sluts to die.
"You have to talk about the people below, don't spread some nonsense." The eldest aunt said, "Although Mrs. Huo said that she was a little dangerous, but in the end, it was because of the childbirth, and there was no great injustice. She was a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go when she was alive, how could she get along with her family after she passed by? In my opinion, the second aunt is really weak and weak, so it would be good to take care of it. I don't have anything to do here, so you can go." ”
Cheng's mother answered, turned around and retreated.
As soon as she left, the eldest aunt called her confidant Cui'er, whispered the matter, and then said, "You go out and go around, don't let people notice you." However, find a way to spread this matter to the master. ”
"Auntie, this is ...... All right? Cui'er hesitated a little, "We and them, the well water has always been not the river water, why bother to set ourselves on fire?" ”
"I also wanted to keep to myself, do I really have other thoughts about Master Hou?" The eldest aunt sneered, "It's a pity that some people are born to love things." She stretched out her finger and gestured with the word "two", "She is quite honest, but the ......" gestured with three, "It's an ambitious person, it's not enough to monopolize the Hou Ye, even my side has to intervene." ”
said, with a ruthless expression on his face, "I don't care how she tosses, but I can't take advantage of the young masters and young ladies, otherwise I will die and die, and I won't be finished with her." In this matter, it is good to bring the third aunt into it. Hou Ye had a pimple in his heart, and he saw how long they were still proud. ”
