Chapter 29: Clearing your mind

"You have to take care of it! I only listen to the White Hero! Fanluo deliberately said, "You don't waste time!" ”

"Humph! Don't bother to care about you! Nishiki turned her head to the side.

Bai Qiuchi sighed silently, these two people ......

Bai Qiuchi briefly introduced them to the characters in the house: the third son of Mrs. Hu, the only heir of the Hu family, Hu Jianghai. He married three wives successively, the eldest lady gave birth to the eldest son Hu Yanshi and the second son Hu Yanbin, the second lady gave birth to a pair of twin daughters Hu Nianci and Hu Nian'an, and the third lady gave birth to a frail and sickly boy Hu Yanping. The eldest young master, Hu Yanshi, married the young lady Lan Se Ning and gave birth to a tear-red baby girl, who was mainly taken care of by Lan Se Ning's two maids, Cui'er and Wan'er.

"Let's sort things out in the order in which they develop." Hearing Bai Qiuchi start to talk about the key points, the two of them immediately shut up and lifted their spirits.

"I think the atmosphere in this house is very strange, no matter what the occasion, there are always two empty seats from top to bottom, and the room layout in the house is just the opposite of normal people's houses, like a mirror projection, but there is no mirror in the room."

"As soon as Big Brother Bai said this, I also found that there is no mirror, my room is the same, and the eldest lady's room is too, don't they use mirrors when they make up? If there is a maid who can still be reasonable, Wei'er said that the eldest lady is dressed up by herself, so how can she see it? ”

"Such a weird ......" wrote a book with great effort, and sometimes issued a few exclamations.

"Jinxu, do you have a mirror?"

"I didn't carry it with me, it was cumbersome. I usually have mirrors in the store, and if I don't have a mirror, I comb a ponytail. ”

Fanluo looked at the brocade with disgust, and the brocade looked indifferent.

"Fanluo, write it down, bring a mirror in." Bai Qiuchi confessed.

"Okay." Complicated wrote a memo on another piece of paper.

"I heard the maids Wan'er and Cui'er say that when the baby was born, the sky became blood-red, and the crows did not drive away, and the rain did not disperse. But when I saw the baby for the first time, I thought she was no different from an ordinary baby, except that she was still ruddy without dripping water, and her tears were red. The whole family, out of the young lady Lan Sening, the others were indifferent to the baby, and the conversation was lifeless. ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen this kid yet." Jin Xu said.

"Me too!" Fan Luo raised his hand, Jin Fu glared at him fiercely, he shut up, and wrote down at the memo: Look at the red tear baby.

"Then I followed the light to the lotus pond, and I was confused by the illusion, and a voice woke me up, it was Cui'er. And that time when I was ejected from the lotus pond for the first time and almost hit the wall, it was Cui'er's voice that woke me up. Bai Qiuchi thought for a while and continued, "The first murder case was Old Madam Hu's beloved cat, a black cat with only different pupils, which was also found by Cui'er in the dark at that time. ”

"She can see black cats in the dark, this maid is not simple." Jin Xu said.

"The next day, the black cat died in the lotus pond, and there was no flesh left. At that time, it was Wan'er who found out, she was short of breath and her pulse was unstable, it was Cui'er who gave her a blood-red pill to take to relieve her, I don't think this medicine is the medicine that Cui'er said to cure the heart. Mrs. Hu came with an inquiry, grief-stricken, compared with the matter of her great-granddaughter, the black cat was more important. At that time, it was also Cui'er who asked me to go back to rest quickly, but I didn't know why I couldn't help but go back and didn't stay to investigate the scene. ”

"Investigate Treier." Write it down.

"That afternoon, I deliberately revealed to Mr. Hu that I wanted to go down to the lotus pond to investigate, and in the evening I deliberately set off in advance, and saw Mrs. Hu stumbling towards the lotus pond, her eyes were empty, and when she reached out to touch the lotus, she was immediately sucked by the lotus, unable to move. I rushed over, but was stopped by the eldest young master, and when I inquired about the old lady's condition, he was gone. When I talked to him, his explanation was that he just happened to pass by, and when he recognized me, he was relieved to leave, not wanting to care about anything. Bai Qiuchi took a sip of tea and continued, "Old Madam Hu's death is the same as that of a black cat, with only skin left. Every time I hallucinate in the lotus pond, I have this sigh that goes straight into my head, so it is easy to control people's minds. ”

"Why is it so scary, I shudder just thinking about it." Jin Su had a cold war.

"Sighs and hallucinations, this one needs to be addressed." Fanluo recorded quite calmly, and asked, "Bai Daxia, when are we going to go down to the lotus pond again?" ”

"We'll talk about that in a moment. Next, it was even more strange, Master Hu appeared, and invited me to drink lotus seed tea, saying that their Hu family moved here many years ago, and strange things continued. It was he who stopped repairing the old house, and the family business gradually returned to prosperity. Three years ago, a fire broke out, and the family traveled to escape. A warlock asked him to build a large pond, and he used the lotus pond to expand the old house. The warlock also did a ritual, invited the snow mountain spirit to put it into the pool, and then the lotus was born in the pool, and the flowers were undefeated, and it was at this time that he said that the lotus seemed to be snow-white before. Bai Qiuchi said.

"It seems that this Master Hu and the eldest young master also have a lot of problems." Fanluo sighed, "This family is really strange. ”

"Master Hu said that since there is a lotus pond, Mrs. Hu likes cats, he loves lotus, dogs love fish, and gradually people's hearts are estranged. And the eldest young master's fish always disappear in the pond, and the eldest young master explained that he wanted to know what was in the lotus pond, so he put different varieties of fish in it to test. After the young lady got married, the situation changed, but Master Hu refused to say anything. ”

"Because of the estrangement of the family, this is too far-fetched, right? What is the point of the eldest young master's test like this, to prove that underwater monsters don't eat any species of fish? Fan Luo had a big question written on his face.

"It's weird. You'd better write it down! Jin Xu hurriedly urged him.

"Why don't you remember?" Fanluo found Jinxu sitting aside and resting, and asked.

"You remember, I'll just add it." Jin Fu replied to him the same words, "You don't waste time!" ”

"Just remember it." Fanluo continued to write hard.

"When I returned to the room, I actually heard a sigh again, thinking that the master was alone by the pool, I was not at ease, but when I got there, I found nothing, and when I went to the master's room, I saw that the candle was just extinguished, so I didn't think much about it, who knows, the master disappeared the next morning, and I didn't find it everywhere."

"No wonder I didn't see the head of the house when the front hall was concentrated at that time." Jin Xu said.

"But Master Hu should be safe for the time being, Steward Mo took me to Master Hu's room, which was full of lotus products, and he also told me that after the fire three years ago, the relationship between Master Hu and the eldest lady has also changed. The last person to see Master Hu was Ah Liang, the little guy in the room, this person, remember it, and also check. ”

"Great!" For Bai Qiuchi's orders, Fanluo can be said to be obedient.

"A family member said that he went in the direction of the eldest young master's room, but went to look for him but did not know where to go. We want to find out what the relationship between him and the eldest young master is. Bai Qiuchi recalled for a moment and added, "In addition, I also saw the quarrel between the eldest young master and the maid Wan'er that morning. It seems that the eldest young master has lost her. ”

"This eldest young master, hooking up with the third lady, even the maid will not let go, it's really too much!" Jin Fu was angry.

"It was the third day that I came here, and so many things have happened, I don't have a clue, so I plan to go to the lotus pond to investigate first, that is, I told you about the enchantment inside, and that day Cui'er also told me that she came to Hu Mansion after the fire three years ago."

"Looks like a lot of things have something to do with this fire!" Fanluo said.

"That's right, we have to sort it out. In the afternoon of the same day, Mrs. Hu's festival was held, and I was responsible for the excess, and there was no crying for ordinary funerals. ”

"Haha, Big Brother Bai is learning and selling now!" Jin Su couldn't help but laugh.

"Thanks to you for teaching me, otherwise I would have been exposed."

Bai Qiuchi thanked Jinxu very happily, which made her embarrassed, so she had to say: "No thanks, you learned quickly, fast and good." ”

"It's because I didn't study well, so I was distracted, and I didn't even find that the young lady didn't come, when we arrived at the room, the young lady was unconscious in the outer hall, and the maid Wan'er died mysteriously in the back room, and it was impossible to hang people in the air like this with manpower, and she had been dead for an hour, but Cui'er said that Wan'er was standing beside her during the previous festival. At that time, the crystal turned blood red. ”

"Well, there are indeed demons." Jin Xu held his chin and said affirmatively.

"Moreover, it should be hidden under the lotus pond." Bai Qiuchi said, "Early in the morning of the fourth day, I went to see if the young lady was awake again, and wanted to understand the situation, but she was still unconscious. Cui'er said that Wan'er has been a little strange lately, but she doesn't know the truth either. The eldest young master who sneaked away when he rushed to the young lady's room before never came to visit the young lady, but the second young master who was caught by me often came to visit. ”

"The relationship between this family is really messy." Fan Luo has started to draw the character relationship diagram on a new page.

"I had two long talks with the second young master. For the first time, he briefly talked about the situation of the fire, and he said that during the fire, the third young master did not travel with the whole family due to his frailty, and he was rescued by the family who died of his injuries later. And after this incident, the illiterate third young master stopped talking, and then let him recall the time when he moved back to the new house and fainted with a headache. Bai Qiuchi paused and said, "This is contradictory to the later communication I had with the eldest young master's maid Lei'er and the eldest lady. Lei'er said that the third young master traveled together, but he didn't get out of the carriage because of his frailty, and he saw that the second young master was throwing a big bag of things before the fire. The eldest lady also said that the family finally agreed to let the third young master go with him, but he never even showed up to worship the important ancestors. Moreover, when communicating with the twin sisters, he inadvertently revealed that the third young master was actually not illiterate, and he also taught them knowledge. ”

"I don't know who's lying." Jin Su felt a little messy, motioned to Fanluo to write it down quickly, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, I'm afraid I'll forget, on the way, Wei'er also told me some about the situation at home, about the eldest lady, we can also ask her previous maid Min'er." Remember! ”

"Okay, remember!" Although Fanluo didn't like her tone of command, he still wrote it down immediately.
