Chapter 58: Cleaning Up

Chu Jiayin didn't remember any messy Song Dynasty lyricists, she just wanted to ask: "Second brother, do you also want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and live a life without contention?" ”

"I don't want to." Chu Jingyan replied decisively.

Chu Jiayin didn't react, and even swallowed back the next sentence he had prepared. Shouldn't a normal person's answer be a longing statement?

"I still have to burn firewood when I go back, if we don't hurry up, we can only catch up for dinner today." Chu Jingyan reminded.

"Oooh. Hurry up! ”

Chu Jiayin immediately quickened his pace.

Chu Jingyan's face sank.

Why don't you want to live in seclusion and live an ordinary life? Because he has been stained with the filth of the world, no matter how clean the water and wind and rain are in this mountain forest, they will not be washed away. Even if you can stay, your heart can't lie quietly in this mountain forest.

Trapped in the Chu Mansion for too long, and poisoned the biography of poetry and books, Chu Jiayin now only hopes that the sky is high and he can fly freely. Instead of finding another comfortable cage to trap yourself.

This winding path is secluded, the bamboo fence hut, the tired bird knows how to return, and finally he has no chance.

At noon, Chu Jiayin lay at the door of the pigsty for a while to tease the pig, and then ran to the place where the dog was leashed, causing the dog to bark.

"Woohoo!"

Chu Jiayin also followed, "Wangwang! ”

After that, the dog ignored her.

"Hey! Why don't you shout? Chu Jiayin patted the head of the following black dog.

The black dog lowered his head and raised a pair of watery eyes to look at her, how aggrieved he was.

"You're a sperm? This is not good, your master is a Taoist priest, if you become a sperm, he will send you to the eighteenth layer of hell. Chu Jiayin doesn't care if Brother Dog understands it or not, anyway, she is bored, she just has to keep chattering to dispel her boredom.

After waiting for half an hour, Chu Jingyan hurriedly prepared the food.

It's not that Chu Jiayin doesn't want to help, it's just that she will only help when she goes over, and Chu Jingyan really doesn't dare to keep her in the way.

Chu Jiayin: "This crab is very delicious. ”

Chu Jingyan's cooking skills are definitely not as good as one-tenth of the Chu family's cooks, and in the deep mountains and old forests, the only condiments that can be used are simple oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the taste is even worse.

But Chu Jiayin just eats more fragrant than the big crab with a big face, maybe he is hungry. She has grown so big, and she has not suffered from starvation, although she was calculated by Chu Yun in her previous life, she suffered before she died.

But that time, she didn't eat until she died, which was as hungry as she is now, and she has the joy of eating to warm her stomach.

"The fish is delicious, too."

"Bracken is also delicious."

"Well, there's no rice."

Chu Jingyan asked while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, "Haven't you eaten enough?" ”

"It's not. I'll wash the dishes, how can you cook and wash the dishes at the same time. "Chu Jiayin will have to rely on her second brother as a backer in the future, and she should do such rough work.

It's best to treat Chu Jingyan better in the future, otherwise what if the second brother thinks she is not sincere enough? What she will face in the future, but the big trouble of the Chu family's defeat, no matter how Chu Jingyan will be in the future, if she wants to help her Chu family tide over this difficulty, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome.

Chu Jiayin felt that she had to make her own efforts worthy of what she would ask Chu Jingyan for in the future!

So, she took the dishes and chopsticks from Chu Jingyan's hand and carried them to the big water tank.

At the end of the dishwashing, it ended with the bowl being smashed.

Chu Jiayin and Chu Jingyan hurriedly packed up the broken bowls and fled.

"Second brother, you say, how are we going to find the whereabouts of that stinky Taoist priest next?" I haven't seen what the other party looks like, and I don't have a clue, so it's too difficult.

"Daoist, do you want to drive out the corpse?" Chu Jingyan asked.

Chu Jiayin was puzzled: "Huh? ”

"There are no demons and monsters in the world, but there are ghosts, and no one has ever seen a ghost who can do evil, but the ghost who is lying in a coffin is dead. But someone has to clean it up. ”

"And then?"

"Yizhuang."

"Yizhuang?"

"Since the founding of South Vietnam, the capital has never been haunted. Those Taoist priests who cheated in the rivers and lakes, in the past, relied on hiring people to pretend to be ghosts and scare people, and then came forward to subdue their own people, so as to establish their authority. forced the people to believe that there is a ghost in this world, and this ghost only obeys his discipline, and then, some people pay for the Taoist priests. ”

Chu Jiayin still didn't understand what the connection was, and looked at Chu Jingyan with a question mark on his face.

"I'm just guessing."

"Hmm." Chu Jiayin hiccuped, dazed.

"I just said a former Taoist priest. As for the present, most of the people recognize those who collect the corpses and enter the door to give funeral practices. And most of these people should be in the coffin shop. ”

"We have looked for them inside and outside the capital, and there are a few shops in the prosperous area of the city that do the business of underworld shops, but they are just selling things. As for the south side of the city, the old gentleman we met last night was obviously not the person we were looking for. ”

Chu Jiayin seemed to understand a little: "So, those who do the business of the underworld shop have been excluded?" Then we just need to find someone who is in the coffin business. ”

"There is another question, the old gentleman said, the whereabouts of other Taoist priests are erratic. That is, it is highly likely that they are not rooted in the coffin shop. But every time Yizhuang picks up an unclaimed corpse, he can always find a Taoist practice. When the coffin seller sends the coffin to the buyer, the body is put into the coffin the next day, and when it is necessary, the owner of the coffin shop can also find the person who can do it. And as far as I know, the Taoist priests these people are looking for are not the same people. ”

"Then we asked from house to house, maybe we'll find it?" Chu Jiayin wanted to break his head, and when he woke up, he was naturally overjoyed.

Chu Jingyan pondered for a moment again, and suddenly found a problem.

"Are we overly complicated?" Chu Jingyan asked Chu Jiayin, and the moment he lowered his head, Chu Jingyan choked up on the face of the little girl who seemed to be ignorant about things in the world.

He took this kind of thing that went around himself and asked Chu Jiayin, who was less than ten years old, is this not a bully child?

"What's complicated?"

"Perhaps...... We can start with Chu Yun, it will be more convenient to find it than this headless fly? Chu Jingyan said.

At the beginning, Chu Jiayin and Chu Jingyan didn't think about it to Chu Yun, for no other reason, Chu Yun was so annoying that she was annoying when she saw her, so she didn't want to come to her. But because of this, the two of them went around and ran to the wilderness, doing useless work for a day and a night.

"Uh......" Chu Jiayin wanted to cry, the ghost knows how much desperate and painful torture she has experienced in order to climb downhill in the past two days, and she can grit her teeth and comfort herself at first, it is all worth it, it doesn't matter if you suffer.

When I turned around in a trance, I actually paid by mistake.

"Then how should we start with Chu Yun?" Chu Jiayin was too lazy to think.

"What did you want to do before pretending to be a ghost or a ghost?"

Chu Jiayin frowned, thought for a moment, and then remembered the dead ghost makeup he had invented.

"Huh?" What was she trying to do?

"I want to wait until I find that stinky Taoist priest to scare him. Didn't he say I was possessed by sorcery? Then I'll show him evil! ”

Chu Jingyan understood: "Perhaps, you can scare Chu Yun first." ”

Chu Jiayin also understood, and nodded with a wicked smile.

So what are they tossing in the past two days? Chu Jiayin wanted to cry without tears, now she just wants to go back and take a bath, then sleep well, wait for the night to put on makeup, and then discuss with the second brother how to scare Chu Yun.

……

Nguyen Heung Ling's residence.

"There's no news from Chu Jiayin's side yet?" Ruan Xiangling asked.

Chu Yun tried her best to enter the inner house, wanting to see how Chu Jiayin was doing, but now that the inner house was more tightly defended, she couldn't get in at all.

"I guess it's going to be a funeral. It has been three days since Hongyu told me that Chu Jiayin had stopped taking medicine. I guess it won't be long before Old Lady Chu is reluctant to spread the news that her precious granddaughter has died, and she can't hold it back. Mother still needs to wait, as long as Chu Jiayin leaves, in the future, we will definitely be the wife and lady of the Chu family's fourth room, and my brother will also be the son of my sister-in-law. ”

Ruan Xiangling was flustered and panicked, not knowing whether she was worried about the strangeness of this matter, or she was happy about the status she was going to get.

"There's no misunderstanding about this, right?" Ruan Xiangling asked, she has been an ancient person for many years, and she always feels that Chu Yun's matter this time is confused. This Chu Jiayin is too, why is he so confused that he got sick because of falling into the water, and he can't do it?

Chu Yun saw that Ruan Xiangling didn't believe herself, and hurriedly said, "Mother, can't you still believe me?" ”

"It's not like I can't trust you." Ruan Xiangling frowned, what if she could trust it, she had ordered Chu Yun to do a few things, but she had messed up.

"Tell me, you pushed Chu Jiayin into the water, in front of so many people, no one really found out?" The more Ruan Xiangling thought about it, the more wrong it became, how could no one find out?

Even if it is like Chu Yun said, it was crowded that day, but a big living person fell into the water, even if someone saw it and didn't want to take care of it, someone would always see it, right?

"Rest assured, this will not go wrong. There were too many people crowding people, and when I pushed it, many people next to me also became accomplices. Those who hurt others and fell into the water are afraid of what responsibility they will bear, and they will never dare to tell the truth. Chu Yun was confident.

"I hope so." Ruan Xiangling found a chair and sat down, sighing slightly, "Your brother is about to participate in the imperial examination, and next year will be the examination, if he can't enter the door of the Chu family again, without a little background to support, he may be buried." ”

"I know, I'll definitely help my brother. As long as my brother is in high school, no matter whether the Chu family wants us or not in the future, we can also raise our eyebrows. ”

Ruan Xiangling's mother and daughter did their best to plan for Chu Liangshan, but Chu Liangshan on the other side took the money that the two of them had saved to study for him and buy pen and ink books, and spent it all in the land of fireworks.

When Chu Jiayin and Chu Jingyan returned to the city, they couldn't help but take a look at someone because they had a loud voice and were a thief.

Looking at the door of Liu Chunyuan, after seeing that face, Chu Jiayin rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Why does that person look a little like my father?" ”
