Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 4: Shadow Shock

The voices are endless, louder and louder, one after another. Such a noisy timbre is like at least five or six babies who have left their mother's warm embrace, crying strongly about their mother's thoughts.

The hearts of those who listened to the chilling cry were furious, and many timid maids hugged each other, and they almost cried.

"Granny Qi's face is not very good."

The chanting of the mantra stopped abruptly, and he made such a statement before he raised his head, as if he knew the reaction of the old woman over there without looking.

He was right.

Granny Qi clenched the pendant on her chest tightly and didn't say a word, but her face was really as if she had seen a ghost.

"No...... It can't be ......," she began, words that sounded delirious.

Ah Luan didn't look up either, because she could clearly see that the corners of Granny Qi's clothes were covered with tiny scratches.

Like a baby's little hands.

She turned her face sideways and found Master Qi in the crowd. He had an added layer of confusion than the obvious fear on the faces of the others.

"Sir! Master! ”

Little Lotus stumbled from a distance, and people shook their heads sharply and looked at the reckless little girl in unison. But Xiaohe didn't care, she went straight to the old man, shouting while running:

"Madame had nightmares, talked a lot of nonsense, and woke up like crazy, saying that she heard her child calling her!"

Everyone's eyes were neatly thrown on Granny Qi's body again.

Rin Michicho calmly turned his back and calmly approached her. She panicked, but her limp legs kept her from retreating.

"What did you want to say just now? Is it the soul of these babies, or is it ...... You changed my talisman ashes? ”

Granny Qi no longer trembled, she looked at the mountains and seas in a daze. The flickering lights of the crowd brightened the side of his face, but on the other cheek, it was extremely dark, and he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly.

"Little Lotus," she turned her head and asked the panting maid, "I told you to pay attention to the inside of Madame's room, did you see anything?" ”

Xiaohe's breath still didn't catch up, but she shook her head.

"There are two peace charms you asked me for, one for your wife and one for your grandson. When I visited the house with Miss Xiaohe, I found a talisman on the door of your bedroom, but you didn't put it on your wife. It's not hard to imagine that you've mixed or replaced the amulets that should have been burned with peace charms. ”

“…… Maybe it's Granny Qi's mistake. No, it can't be, why don't you take a look at it? ”

Master Qi squeezed through the crowd, he obviously didn't believe that the kind old woman who had served the Qi family for so many years could be a demon woman who had a connection with supernatural ghosts.

"One is ink, the other is cinnabar, the color difference is a low-grade error, I believe that no matter how old and dizzy my mother-in-law is, she will not be mistaken. Let alone...... The jade pendant on her chest had begun to turn black, hadn't she? ”

Granny Qi suddenly let go of her hand and straightened the ropes on both sides, the jade pendant has indeed changed from the original emerald green to black, and the slight cracks on it seem to have expanded, I don't know if it's an illusion.

"Look at the corner of the clothes again," Luan added calmly, "The blood dripping from the mountains and seas into the cinnabar is a means for the Onmyoji to serve the demons. And although I am weak, I am equipped with a peace lock and a peachwood sword, and the people in the courtyard have no grievances with the ghosts, and they will only attack the real enemy. Although it is not yet visible, the form has been outlined by the spirit rune water. Again...... Xiaohe, what did we find out from Hashio's room? ”

"Ahh Xiaohe had already eased up, as if she remembered something, she took out a small cloth bag from her pocket, she opened it carefully, and spread the cloth bag in the palm of her hand:

"Miss Luan said, this is musk, tell me not to touch it casually."

The old man snatched the cloth bag from Xiaohe's hand, clenched it tightly under his nose and sniffed it fiercely, and then looked at Xiaohe with surprised eyes.

"Oops! Master, I stopped Miss Luan, she insisted on going in, don't blame me...... Sister Luan, speak for me. ”

After a long time, Master Qi suppressed his restless mood, he took a deep breath and said:

"No...... I don't blame you. However, I want an explanation...... In the early years, Madame's children were indeed ...... She came to deliver the baby...... Those are stillborns. ”

He looked at his mother-in-law sadly.

"The Qi family treats you well."

Granny Qi took a difficult step, as if she was drunk, and she fell. But she struggled to get up to her front, and with her two arms she struggled to climb to the old man's feet, and clung to the hem of his garment, and cried pitifully:

"Wronged! Master, I came with my wife, I am loyal to the Qi family, I regard my wife as my daughter, how could I do such a hurtful thing! You have to make decisions for me, sir, for me! ”

These words made the old man waver, he wavered a little, and looked at the pair of masters and apprentices with a pleading look. Ah Luan snorted disdainfully, and moved his dissatisfied gaze to Shan Hai. Rin Shanhai sighed helplessly, not knowing how to answer.

After all, if Granny Qi dies and doesn't admit that she killed those babies, no one can do anything.

At this time, Qiao Sheng, who had been on the side of the east wing, came over. His attention has been on Da Hei's body, and what happened in the courtyard doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.

"Oh no, grandma! Big Black is so naughty, he dug up the pig bones you buried earlier! ”

He was followed by the big black dog. He waged his tail happily, his front paws were dirty, and he still had something in his mouth.

Ah Luan squatted down and beckoned Da Hei to come over. The big black fox looked at her suspiciously, its tail wagging more slowly. After a while, he still trotted over on his legs. She touched the big black head, and it was happy again. At this time, Ah Luan took what was in her mouth.

In front of everyone's eyes, a long white bone was exposed.

"It is a man's fibula, more than ten years old." Luan concluded.

In the quiet air, those cries became clear again, and the sound of Granny Qi's disordered breathing was mixed in, which was particularly harsh. The steward was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked someone to pick up a shovel and dig to the east, and asked two maids to forcibly pull the dazed Qiaosheng back to the house from here.

Rin took the bone and soaked it in the basin of water. Then, he threw two beads of rosewood into the water.

Finally, Rin took out a manifestation charm and submerged it in the water.

Soon, as if boiling, bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the water, and this bubble slowly rose, and soon, a short silhouette was formed. When it is no longer growing, it is only slightly taller than Ah Luan.

A humanoid green mist suddenly jumped up from the basin of water and rushed towards the mother-in-law who was lying on the ground. She was so frightened that she ran into the house. The ghost grabbed her wrist, and she shook it off with all her might, and it didn't seem like an old man in her sixtieth year could use it. The frightened old lady screamed horribly, and she shook her hands and cried out:

"None of my business! It's your life that is not good, it's you who want to come to Qi's house and Qiaosheng to rob ......."

She ran into the house. The ghost slammed as it scorched up the porch.

The salt barrier is now in effect.

The ghost lingered outside for a while, and countless people were too frightened to make a sound, so they ran around it and ran into the house to hide. The timid ones were already in place, staring vacantly at what was happening.

Needless to say, I also know that it was the missing young master who was killed by someone. The bones are shallow in the courtyard of the East Wing.

"The sound of the beads I heard earlier...... I'm afraid that the little ghosts are playing with the scattered sandalwood beads. This thing itself has the effect of warding off evil spirits, but the baby's soul is clean and pure. I think that day it was like this, the young master who was killed by someone grabbed the beads on her hand and tore them off during the struggle. ”

"But......" the steward was a little puzzled, "how do you know that this bead is ......?"

"Madame's door is not out of the door, and the only person who can have such a precious thing is her mother-in-law, who takes good care of her. And, I told Shanhai that there was a clean mark on her wrist. I think it must have been the mark of wearing a bracelet all year round but suddenly taking it off. The shape is a little irregular, probably, it is a string of beads. Luan explained.

Xiaohe's face was very bad, she stared at her mother-in-law with incredible eyes, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak. At this time, the out-of-control old man rushed over and grabbed the placket of his mother-in-law's clothes with disheveled hair. Her previous dignity was replaced by a loss of grace, and her kind and gentle appearance was swept away, and only the boundless fear, mixed with the anger of the old man.

"Why! Why, why! Li Qin's! You tell me! ”

In addition to constantly asking, Mr. Qi couldn't find any other words. As if he didn't want her to tarnish the name of the Qi family, he shouted loudly the original name of Granny Qi.

"Why? Why, you ask? I don't know who said he was going to take my bridge as a righteous son when he was drunk, but when he woke up, he said he couldn't remember what he said last night. ”

"You're just because of the property of the Qi family - you are so vicious!"

"Wrong! Even if there was no such thing, I would dare to have such thoughts! If you want to blame your wife, my son died in their house, they killed my child, and I will make her pay with blood! ”

The subordinates did not dare to approach, and only the steward was timid to try to dissuade them. He kept beckoning the distracting family members to step forward and separate the two, and they hesitated before they hugged each other.

Chaos is extreme.

"We can leave tomorrow, huh?" Ah Luan tugged at the corner of the mountains and seas.

Mountains and seas did not react. In the end, although it solves one thing, it ...... This seems to be a little different from the rumors outside. If a baby can't move those things, the young master's soul can attract people's attention in this way, but ......

When he thought of this, Ah Luan suddenly grabbed Shanhai's hand.

In the midst of the noisy crowd, a ghostly black shadow quietly passed through the door.

The shadow of a woman.
