Chapter Seventy-Two: The Marriage Talisman
Duckweed was afraid that the woman in red would notice them, so she quickly pinched an invisibility spell to hide the figures and voices of the three people.
Xiaowa tightened the sleeves of duckweed, and said very nervously: "Sister, it seems that the scholar didn't lie to us." ”
The duckweed said "um", did not speak, and gave Xuanniao a look. She jumped off the eaves lightly, but after a while, Xuanniao also took the little baby to the flat ground safely.
At this time, the woman in the red wedding dress and combed her hair in a high bun was still knocking on the door again and again. In the room, everyone seemed to be asleep, and no one answered.
Xiaowa whispered, "That scholar named Liu Sheng won't be scared now, right?"
Xuanniao smiled: "I guess I didn't faint, but maybe I secretly cursed the master in the room." ”
Duckweed sighed in an inaudible voice and said, "Why are you talking so much today, affecting me to watch a good show." ”
Xuanniao and Xiaowa had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and stop talking.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......knock on the door again and again, as if the woman had to wait for someone to open the door before she gave up.
It's midnight, and the wind is a little cool. The woman in the red wedding dress sighed heavily, seeming very disappointed.
She hesitated in the doorway, then finally pushed it open. Duckweed, Xiaowa, and Xuanniao saw this, and hurriedly followed the woman in red.
As soon as the woman in red entered the door, she looked at Yanagi who was pretending to sleep on the bed, and sighed again. She walked slowly to the foot of Yanagi's bed and lit a red candle.
"Sister, what is she doing?" the little baby didn't hold back and asked very quietly.
She lit a marriage candle, if Liu Sheng also has affection for her, the two of them will become a good flower. Without waiting for duckweed to speak, Xuanniao replied with a smile.
Xiaowa still looked puzzled and said, "This scholar obviously has no affection for this woman." Moreover, not only is there no affection, but I am also afraid to die. What would happen if there was no affection?"
Xuanniao looked at the woman in the red wedding dress and said with a smile: "If you don't have affection, you can get rid of this marriage as long as you take back the marriage talisman." The woman in red can not be trapped by this scholar. ”
Xiaowa let out an "ah" and asked very puzzledly: "How could it be that the woman in red was trapped by the scholar?
Under duckweed's invisibility spell, the woman obviously couldn't hear the conversations of several people. She looked after herself, rummaging around as Yanagi said.
Duckweed, Xiaowa and Xuanniao could still see the face of the woman in red clearly in the dim light. It is the same as the portrait of the woman brought by Yanagi today, this woman has shaved shoulders and a thin waist, handsome eyes and eyebrows, except for the absence of blood on her face, she is really a beauty.
Duckweed looked at the figure of the woman rummaging in the house, sighed, pinched another spell, and appeared in front of the woman in red.
The woman in red was taken aback, took a few steps back, and asked very vigilantly, "Who are you?"
Duckweed looked at the scholar on the bed, covered her lips and smiled: "Don't be afraid, the lady doesn't have to be afraid, we are the Taoist priests invited by this scholar to exorcise evil spirits for him." ”
The woman in red seemed to have heard something funny, looked at the scholar on the bed and said with a smile: "This scholar is really a coward, I really saw the wrong person after seeing my father." ”
"The lady doesn't have to mind, this kind of vulgar person is not worthy of the lady. Duckweed said with a smile, as if discussing a very ordinary matter with the woman in red.
The woman in red jumped slightly, and asked, "You have the smell of the fairy family, aren't you here to sanction me?"
Duckweed shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just a fortune-telling businessman in the city, and I can only respect the lady, so how can I only say it? Besides, I am neither an immortal nor a god, and I am not qualified to interfere with you." ”
The woman in red still seemed dissatisfied with duckweed's answer, and asked in a cold tone, "Since you are not qualified to interfere with me, then why did you come here and say these things to me." ”
"This scholar has something to exchange with me. I'm here to help the lady find the marriage charm, so that the lady will no longer be subject to this scholar. Of course, this Liu Gongzi will naturally not see his so-called evil ghost again. Duckweed replied very seriously, looking at the woman in red in front of her.
"That's a good idea. So, would you like to help me?" the woman in red finally softened her brows, and there was earnestness in her eyes.
"Of course. Duckweed smiled and said, "It's just that there is nothing in this world for nothing." ”
"What do you want? As long as you help me get rid of this cowardly scholar, as long as I have it, you can take it. The woman in red looked at the scholar on the bed in disgust and said very angrily.
"All I need is a marriage charm. It's not good to keep this thing in your hands after all, so it's better for me to keep it. Duckweed spoke in a flat tone, as if she was saying something that seemed to be something.
The woman in red frowned again, seemed to be very embarrassed, and said to herself: "Don't hide it from the lady, this marriage charm was asked by my father for me." He had only one daughter, me, and when I was still alive, I was bewitched by a scholar and fell into the love of men and women. When that scholar was with me, he made all the vows he made in a few months.
He had a wife and children, and my father categorically refused to let me be someone else's concubine, forcing me to cut off contact with him. ”
When the woman in red spoke of these things, there was no sadness or despair in her eyes, only infinite calm, as if she were telling someone else's story.
Duckweed sighed and said, "And then you found out that you were pregnant with his child?"
The woman in red nodded, her eyes finally had some waves, and she continued: "My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and my father only has one daughter, no matter how much real estate he buys and how much money he makes, he has never married. Growing up, he was obedient to me in everything. Only this time, he found a medicine woman and personally fed me those red pills. My child, who was only three or four months old, was killed by his own grandfather before he was fully formed. ”
As she spoke, she unconsciously burst into tears. Duckweed comforted: "Gossip in this world is a weapon to hurt a person, and your father just doesn't want you to suffer those hardships." ”
The woman in red wiped away her tears, regained her composure, and continued, "I know, so although I am sad, I have never blamed my father. After the child was gone, I was haunted by nightmares every day, dreaming that the child came to me, that the person I loved abandoned me. I couldn't sleep all night, and one day I couldn't stand it anymore, so I simply hanged myself with a rope. I'm sorry Daddy, I did the wrong thing at the beginning of my life, so one wrong step, one wrong step. I know that whenever I make a wrong step, my dad will be behind me and make up for it. ”
