Chapter 50: Digging Your Own Grave
Jin Su took Bai Zhi's fire fold and lit the two oil lamps on the desk, and the hall suddenly lit up. After receiving the fire fold, he took another stick of incense and lit it, and said respectfully, "Ancestors, I'm sorry, Su'er is going to bother me again." ”
Bai Zhi circled around and returned to her without finding anything unusual.
Jin Su whispered a few words to Bai Zhi, and then Bai Zhi went out from the main gate in a grand manner.
Bai Qi didn't know what to do, and she was a little flustered when she watched Bai Zhi leave, and followed Jinsu closely, "Miss, what should we do next?" ”
"I asked Bai Zhi to go back and get some things, let's kneel first!"
As he spoke, Jin Su knelt on the ground.
Although Bai Qi couldn't figure it out, in line with his trust in her, he still knelt down with her in a daze.
After kneeling for a while, neither of them spoke, and the ancestral hall, which was originally quiet, seemed more and more cold and lonely at this moment.
Suddenly, a "squeak" sound sounded when the door was pushed, and Bai Qian subconsciously thought that Bai Zhi was back, and turned her head with an expectant smile.
"Ah———h
The terrifying screams almost made Jin Su deafening, and before she could turn back, Bai Qi hugged her and buried her whole head in her arms.
"What's wrong?"
After Jinsu asked, he continued to look back.
"Nothing?"
"White ...... White shadow, just now I saw a white shadow with hair floating past! Miss, will it be ...... Could it be a ghost? ”
The more Bai Qi spoke, the quieter he became, as if he was afraid of alarming something.
"Don't be afraid, Bai Qi, there are no ghosts in this world, even if there are, we haven't done anything wrong, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Jin Su made a straightforward appearance, but in the end, he seemed to have no confidence.
She already knew that tonight was not just a simple punishment for kneeling, this little trick of pretending to be a ghost must have been instructed by Princess Jin Yan.
While calming Bai Qi's back, he leaned over and said softly, "Well done, continue!" ”
She couldn't tell now whether Bai Qi was pretending or really scared.
Bai Qi's entire upper body curled up in her arms, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said tremblingly, "But Miss...... I'm so scared! ”
Jinsu's eyes didn't wave, his hand still patted Bai Qi's back gently, and his mouth kept comforting, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's okay......"
"Squeak———" The sound of pushing the door sounded again.
"Ah———h
Bai Qi was even more exaggerated this time, holding his head and screaming loudly.
"Bai Qi! Baiji! Jinsu shook her twice, which made her calm down.
"Bai Qi, what's wrong with you? It's me, why do you scare you like this? Bai Zhi was a little worried, and reached out to probe Bai Qi's forehead.
Bai Qi came back to his senses at this time, and told Bai Zhi about seeing Bai Ying just now, the words were still fear and fear, and when he was excited, he also took Jinsu's hand and made a gesture by the way.
At this moment, a smile flashed in Jin Su's eyes. It turned out that Bai Qi had always pretended, and even she and Bai Zhi almost believed it.
"Alright, alright, it's okay, Bai Qi," Bai Zhi continued to comfort, put down the cloak and straw mat she was holding, and then knelt on the other side of Jinsu.
"How?" Jin Su asked secretly while adjusting the straw mat.
"The left side of the ancestral hall was originally empty, but just now I saw that it was full of firewood, and it was firewood poured with lamp oil!"
"It seems that there will be some excitement tonight," Jin Su smiled contemptuously after speaking, and a plan came to his mind.
Bai Zhi took advantage of the proximity of the three of them and made a simple gesture twice.
Jinsu immediately understood.
There are two other people secretly guarding outside the door, both of them are practicing the family. Also on the roof, but not sure how many there were.
Jinsu took out the silver needle and motioned to Bai Qi and Bai Zhi, and when the two bowed slightly, she waved her hand lightly, and the four oil lamps went out at the same time.
Bai Ji was still screaming loudly in fright, attracting the attention of the two people on the roof and outside.
Jinsu still comforted Bai Qi as usual, and tossed for a while before finally lighting the fire fold.
At this time, Jin Su had already put on Bai Zhi's cloak, and got up with a fire fold to light the oil lamp. And Bai Qi, who was still kneeling on the ground, buried his head in Jinsu's cloak and wrapped his hands around it to make the cloak stand up. If you don't look carefully from the front, you really can't see that only Bai Qi is kneeling here.
In this way, the angelica deity came out of its shell.
Jin Su only lit the two oil lamps on the desk, and knelt down to the original position of Bai Zhi after collecting the fire. and Bai Qi glanced at each other, and both of them were snickering with the corners of their mouths slightly hooked.
If you want to hide in the night, a black nightwear is the best choice. Bai Zhi went back to Hanlian Courtyard just now, in addition to taking a cloak and a straw mat, she also secretly put on a night suit, and when she came, she put a cloak on the outside, so it was not obvious.
If there was no pile of firewood poured with lamp oil outside, she would have no choice but to stay in the ancestral hall for one night. But if some people have to put her to death, then she can't be blamed for fighting back.
The two of them did not kneel for long before they heard movement outside, and when they looked out, they saw that there was already a raging fire outside the wall. Nowadays, it is the crisp autumn weather, the firewood is dry and flammable, and then poured lamp oil, it is almost unstoppable fire.
Bai Qi naturally showed a look of fear and worry, and shouted, "Miss, Miss, it's on fire, it's on fire!" ”
Jin Su first smiled secretly, and then said with a serious lesson, "Bai Qi, don't make trouble, punish you well, you will have a lot of trouble." One moment it says there are ghosts, the other it talks about fire, if you don't want to kneel, go by yourself! ”
It sounds like Jinsu is angry, but in fact, the two of them are secretly having fun.
was scolded, Bai Qi didn't speak, and let the sound of "crackling" firewood outside. Jin Su glanced at Bai Qi and raised his finger to point at it.
Bai Qian understood, and the two of them paid attention to the movement on the roof, and from the sound of the tiles "squirming", it could be judged that the roof should also be two people, and at this time, both of them should have moved to the left to check the fire.
Jin Su waved his hand slightly, and two leaves slipped from his sleeve, just in time to extinguish the oil lamp on the desk. Even so, the light of the fire outside the wall still illuminates the place.
Finally, the sound of the gong outside "Dangdangdang" remembered, and many people were shouting, "It's on fire, it's on fire!" ”
This is the signal of the agreement between Jinsu and Bai Zhi, once someone finds out that it is on fire, Bai Zhi will pretend to be a man in black and deliberately show his feet, so that everyone knows that there is such a dangerous element as a man in black.
The two of them thought that the time had come, and Bai Qi and Jin Su flew up to the beam of the house and applied the medicinal powder that had corroded the wooden board to the wooden board that supported the tiles with a dagger.
Then Jin Su put back his cloak and went to the courtyard with Bai Qi to shout "Help!" ”
The two of them hurriedly ran to the gate of the courtyard, Bai Qi fell in a panic, and he couldn't care about it so much, and desperately banged on the door of the ancestral hall.
But the door seemed to be locked outside, and no matter how much they pulled it, there was no movement. In the midst of the panic, Jin Su pointed to the roof and shouted, "There are assassins!" There are assassins! ”
Then, Bai Qi joined her in shouting, and the two of them banged on the door while shouting, "There are assassins, there are assassins!" "It looks like I'm scared.
The two people on the roof may also be a little caught off guard, but they didn't think about running away at the first time, but came to Jinsu's side.
This shows that these two men in black, in addition to watching them on the roof and pretending to be ghosts to scare them, also kill them when necessary.
Alas ~ dig your own grave!
Jin Su sighed softly, only to see that the two men in black happened to fall from the place where the medicinal powder was sprinkled just now.
Bai Qi banged on the door harder, hysterically shouting for help, as if it was really in danger.
Although the man in black fell down, he was also skilled, and he got up at once, pulled out his dagger and quickly approached them.
At this moment, there seemed to be a lot of people coming outside the door, making a commotion, some shouting for water, and some shouting and banging on the door.
The man in black also realized that time was running out and was preparing to kill him with a single sword.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi jumped out of the hall and immediately fought with one of the black men, while Jinsu and Bai Ji pretended to be useless and clumsily dodged the attack of the other. However, when the two men in black just fell, they were inevitably stained with some medicinal powder, and at this time, they didn't know why their movements were much slower.
