Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Forbidden Mother
When he woke up, Zhao Zimai's clothes were already soaked, sticking to his body, wet and sticky, and very uncomfortable.
He gasped and half-sat up, glanced out the window, and saw that it was already bright. Not only that, but the noise outside was incessant, and it was as if he was in a lively street market.
Zhao Zimai frowned: he knew that the rules of the Yan family were extremely strict, and the subordinates had already been well-trained, and they usually held their breath one by one, and would never disturb the host's family and guests like him like this. There is only one possibility that can make them mess up the rules, that is, they are no longer the servants of the Yan family.
In fact, a few days ago, people had already left one after another, but when he saw such a spectacular "scene" today, Zhao Zimai couldn't help but be surprised: a huge group of people, some people pushed carts, some people carried flat burdens, and some people simply carried a few packages. Everyone's faces were full of anxiety, and they hurriedly walked forward along the road, as if they wanted to step out of Yan's mansion in one step, as if they didn't know which door would flash out of the cold and blood-drinking monster.
"Except for some who have been with the Yan family for many years and have a deep friendship with master and servant, the others are basically gone, and most of them say that they are going home for a few days, but in my opinion, the Yan family is restless for a day, and they will not come back. Although most of them have signed a deed of sale, the Yan family has become like this now, and I can't force them to stay, I will deal with it from the official side. Yan Qingcheng came to him at some point, patted Zhao Zimai lightly on the shoulder, and a slightly tired smile appeared on his face, "Zimai, you just got off the boat and rushed over to celebrate your father's birthday, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." I'm really sorry to involve you. I've asked someone to prepare your carriage and horses, and you can set off in a moment, and leave here with Baotian, the sooner the better. ”
Zhao Zimai squinted at him, and suddenly smiled, "It turns out that in the eyes of Yan Ergongzi, I am such a timid and afraid person." ”
"Zimai ......"
"In addition to being timid and afraid, he is also unkind, and when his friends are in trouble, he doesn't say help, but turns around and runs away."
Yan Qingcheng interrupted him, "Zimai, you don't have to use these words to provoke me, you couldn't be clearer about the current situation of the Yan family." Staying for a moment longer will be more dangerous, so it's better for you and Baotian to leave quickly. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zimai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Yan Qingcheng with a salivating face, "If I don't leave, can you still use a whip to drive me out?" Besides, didn't your eldest brother find a forbidden woman to come over? Maybe the evil will be cured by the forbidden woman. ”
"Do you have to do that?"
"It has to be so."
Yan Qingcheng shook his mind for a long time, and suddenly felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and Zhao Zimai was busy smashing him on the shoulder when he saw this, "I can warn you, don't say anything grateful, save me from listening to the flesh." ”
Yan Qingcheng rubbed his shoulders and shook his head with a wry smile, "That's it, I'm afraid that the nine cows won't be able to pull back what the eldest prince Zhao decided." Let's go and meet the forbidden woman my brother has invited, and I have heard that she is a famous person. ”
***
The forbidden woman invited by Yan Yuchi wore an eagle hat, a colorful hexagram robe, nine bronze mirrors tied around her waist, and her face was painted with colorful oil paint, and danced briskly in front of Yan Bailin's room under the drumming accompaniment of two apprentices. I saw her spreading her arms like an eagle flying for a while, and jumping and grabbing like a tiger for a while, and her form was very funny.
"This eagle and tiger can catch the evil?" For some reason, someone suddenly flashed in Zhao Zimai's heart, and the moment she was leaving, she looked back with a somewhat flirtatious smile. He felt that Mu Xiaowu was at least more reliable than the well-dressed forbidden woman in front of him, although she and Mu Cripple had escaped and left the Yan Mansion.
"Tiger God Eagle God, the customs here in Zhangtai, let's take a look, besides, at this moment, you can only use dead horses as live horse doctors."
As soon as Yan Qingcheng's words fell, the forbidden woman suddenly began to tremble, her teeth and claws, and she looked crazy.
"There may be a great immortal who is about to possess the body," Yan Yuchi, who was standing opposite, muttered, his eyes gathering essence, "Master, take a look, who is the evil possessed in?" ”
An apprentice "shh ”
When the forbidden woman heard this, she opened her eyes and played a drum, beating it slowly, jumping as she walked, and her whole body was still trembling, as if she was seriously ill. Her face was red, her eyes were shining, and she looked so terrible that several of the young girls were so frightened that they cried, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to her.
"Third Master Hu, your old man has worked hard all the way, what do you need?" The apprentice asked respectfully.
The forbidden woman glanced at the two of them, and suddenly changed her tone, sounding like a man with a rough voice, "A pig's head weighing two hundred pounds." ”
She pinched her tone and swept her eyes over the faces of the onlookers.
"Scared, how can there be such a heavy pig's head?" The people listened and talked about it.
Zhao Zimai crossed his arms and looked at her and sneered, "Two hundred catties, I'm afraid it's hard for a tiger's head to be so heavy." ”
Seeing that his momentum was different from others, the forbidden woman was already timid in her heart, but she barely kept her composure on her face, and said to him, "Go to the tail and forget it."
Hearing her say this, Yan Yuchi hurriedly ordered someone to carry up the pigs that had been prepared and a plate of snow-white silver ingots. The forbidden woman circled the animal while beating the drum, and her eyes suddenly tilted upwards, revealing only two white eyeballs, and her mouth muttered incessantly, and her tone was so frustrated that no one could hear what she was saying.
"Third Master Hu, your old man gave us a hint, where is that harmful thing hidden? It already has three lives in its hands, and it can't let it do anything more. An apprentice approached her and asked what she meant.
The forbidden woman stiffened her neck, her head trembled a few times, and she suddenly raised her hand, pointed to the inner courtyard in the south, squinted her eyes and said, "The rebellion of the Yan family started from the inner house, and if the evil is not removed, it will cause disaster." ”
"Neihu?" Yan Yuchi looked in the direction she was pointing, "Great Immortal, what do you mean?" ”
The forbidden woman didn't seem to hear Yan Yuchi's question, she beat the drum with a "dong dong", and ran towards the inner courtyard to the south with great strides, two apprentices followed her, and the others followed them. A few little girls followed behind and shouted, "No, it's the residence of the lady and the young lady, you can't go." ”
The forbidden woman ignored it, her steps were fast, and she was about to step into the courtyard gate, but her neck tightened suddenly, her body lost her balance, and the whole person leaned back, if it wasn't for the two apprentices who followed closely behind, she would have broken her lumbar vertebrae.
"If you know what kind of place this is, you dare to trespass, and if you alarm the people inside, don't think about having good fruit to eat." Yan Qingcheng rarely spoke so violently, and the people under him were taken aback. He pushed the three of them aside, turned to Yan Yuchi and said, "Big brother, how can outsiders be allowed to enter the inner courtyard casually, isn't this against the family rules?" ”
Yan Yuchi looked at his younger brother and sneered, "Rules? It turns out that you still know how to write the word rules? ”
