Chapter 069: Safflower Drink (11)
Madame laughed, no matter what happened to this master of the Wang family, he couldn't kill his new aunt. Besides, this new aunt is still pregnant with the child of the old man of the Wang family in her belly. But ......"
"But what?"
"However, some people say that the old man of the Wang family is old, and what this new aunt is carrying in her belly may not be the blood and blood of the Wang family."
"Who is this to listen to?"
The beggar smiled and stretched out his hand to Xing Ruyi.
Xing Ruyi took out a piece of broken silver and put it in the beggar's hand: "I want to listen to the truth." ”
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. Madame, don't worry, everything my beggar said is true. I didn't say this nonsense, but it came out of the mouth of the maid who was waiting in front of the second lady. ”
"Jokes. The second lady's maid, how could she have a beggar to talk about these things. ”
Xing Ruyi said, and wanted to get back the silver that he had just given. Seeing this, the beggar hurriedly stuffed the silver into his bosom and said in a low voice.
"If it were usual, the maids of the second lady would naturally look down on us who asked for food. But sometimes, those of us who ask for food don't attract attention. ”
"Second lady's maid, let you help her do things?"
"Help! Handy help. ”
The beggar said, glancing at the Wang's house. Seeing that the gate of the Wang family was still closed, he said: "Just before the new aunt's accident, the maid named Pei'er next to the second lady found me. Actually, it can't be regarded as looking for, it's been cold recently, and the Wang family is leeward, and our two brothers often nest here.
She first gave us some food, not leftovers, all good. Then she whispered to us and asked us to help her throw something out. This Pei'er told us to leave those things far away, and it was best not to let anyone know. ”
"What's that?"
"It's not a treasure, it's just some medicine residue left over from boiling medicine."
"Dregs?"
"Well, it's dregs." The beggar scratched his head: "That medicine smells a little strange, but at first glance it is something that only women use." ”
"How so?"
"What do you mean by that? We beggars all eat hundreds of meals, eat a lot, see a lot, although we can't say a seven, seven, eight, eight, or eight, but with this nose, we know that the medicine is not the medicine taken by men, but the medicine taken by women. ”
"Did Pelle say anything else?"
"I didn't say anything important, I just told us that we must bury this medicine dregs. As for me, my mouth was broken, so I asked one more question. I asked Pei'er if the medicine was taken by the second lady. Madame is also a woman, so she naturally understands the truth here. When the husband newly married his aunt entered the door, the two ladies were not allowed to take care of it. Who knows, Na Pei'er just picked her mouth lightly and said: My second wife does not have this blessing. Madame, listen to it, isn't there something strange about this? ”
"It's a little weird." Xing Ruyi stretched his arm and threw the remaining pieces of silver in his hand to the beggar: "Last question, where did you throw the dregs of the medicine?" ”
The beggar smiled and pointed to the pharmacy not far from Wang's house: "Just throw it outside that pharmacy?" ”
Pharmacy?
Xing Ruyi had to admire this beggar's brain. This pharmacy is a place that specializes in selling medicines. There is a place outside the door that is dedicated to dumping the dregs, which are then cleaned up by the children in the pharmacy every two days. The beggar mixed the dregs of the Wang family with the pharmacy, not to mention ordinary people, even her and the fox, they couldn't tell the difference.
Thinking of this, I can't help but be a little disappointed. Originally, she wanted to see if the medicine residue was similar to the medicine ingredients left on the dress.
"Madam, but are you thinking about the dregs?"
The beggar scratched his itch as he stood up. Then he took out something from a rag bag close to him and handed it to Xing Ruyi.
"It's ......"
"This is what Madame wants. I'm a beggar, and I have to keep something for myself. The beggar's eyes shone brightly: "I keep some of this dregs every time, but they are all mixed together." After the new aunt died, I wanted to throw it away, but it was cold lately, and I didn't want to move the beggar, so I kept it in my pocket. ”
"Thank you."
Xing Ruyi took the bag of things and habitually poured thanks. The beggar was stunned for a moment and replied, "Madam, you are polite." ”
In the residue, sure enough, traces of safflower were found. It seems that the death of the new aunt of the Wang family has another hidden meaning. It's just that Xing Ruyi doesn't understand why this new aunt is still trapped in the house, so she bumped into the child, so that she took the child's soul away.
In broad daylight, there were still two beggars guarding the door, and Xing Ruyi naturally didn't dare to go to Wang's house. She took the medicine bag and went straight to the pharmacy to dispense the child's medicine first. Then, turn back to the inn.
In front of the inn, the former tranquility has been restored. Only on the ground in front of the door, there was still a pool of blood. The shopkeeper leaned on the pillar in front of the inn and dozed off, and when he raised his eyes and saw Xing Ruyi, he hurriedly lifted his spirits and ran over.
"Madame is back?"
Xing Ruyi glanced at the ghost of Lihua standing in front of the bloodstains, and asked the shopkeeper, "Where is the master of the Sheng family?" ”
"Back to Mrs. Sheng, Master Sheng took the eldest lady to Yizhuang. It's miserable! When Fang Cai came, he couldn't bear to look at it. This child has already been formed, and he was actually thrown out of half of his head raw. ”
"Providence is unpredictable, who wants to see these things." Xing Ruyi pointed to the bloodstains in front of the door: "Go get a bucket of water and clean up the bloodstains, so as not to affect the business of your inn." ”
"This dead man's inn, where are there any guests willing to stay." The shopkeeper shook his head: "Our boss is about to cry to death." Don't hide it from Madame, our inn was not doing well. With such a fuss, I'm afraid that no one will come. ”
Xing Ruyi pondered for a moment and asked, "Then does your boss have the intention of changing this inn?" ”
"How does Madame know?" The shopkeeper raised his eyes: "Actually, the boss has long had this meaning." It's just that the business was not good before, and it didn't change hands many times. Now that something has happened, I'm afraid I can't turn it around. ”
"What if someone is willing to buy this inn?"
"Madame, what about laughing? At this juncture, who would dare to ask for our inn. ”
"Me!"
"Ma'am?"
"I'm willing to buy this inn. After all, this matter also has something to do with me, I can't watch your boss cry to death. You clear the ground first, and then go to your boss and tell him what I mean. As for the price, it's up to him to set it. Of course, it can't be overdone. ”
"Madame, don't worry, our boss is also a kind person." The shopkeeper said, turned around and went to the inn. When he came out with the water, he cautiously asked, "If Madame takes over this inn, do you need someone to help take care of it?" ”
"Would you like to stay?"
"The little ones are willing, and the little ones are certainly willing."
The shopkeeper nodded busily, but the work that his subordinates should do was not delayed at all.
While the shopkeeper was not paying attention, Xing Ruyi tore off a strand of hair, and after a few words of silent recitation in his heart, the strand of hair came to life. One end was pinched by Xing Ruyi, and the other end was wrapped around Lihua's wrist. Xing Ruyi gently tugged, and Lihua's soul followed her back to the inn.
"Why don't you go to Yizhuang?"
"Why? Why is this happening? Lihua lost her soul and muttered to herself: "I'm obviously very careful, I've obviously confessed my mistake to her, why does she still hurt me, why do you want to hurt my child?" ”
"What about you? Why did you hurt Duan Niang in the first place? ”
"Duan Niang, she didn't hurt me." There was a hint of madness in Lihua's eyes: "What she is pregnant with is not the old man's child at all, but a monster." ”
"What did you say?"
"Yes...... The doctor told me. The doctor said that when he checked Duan Niang's pulse, he found that Duan Niang's pulse was extremely abnormal, not at all like the pulse of a normal fetus. So, I found a little maid in Duan Niang's yard, gave her some things, and asked her to help me keep an eye on them privately.
The little maid told me that there was a dark room in Duan Niang's room. Every late at night, Duan Niang would enter the dark room for a long time. I was suspicious, so I found a Duan Niang when he was not there, and secretly walked in.
As a result, I saw a baby, a particularly scary baby in a bottle. He was soaked in a cloud of blood-red water, and although his eyes were closed, I always felt that he could see me. In addition to the baby, there was also the smell of temple incense and blood in the dark room, and I immediately collapsed on the ground in fright. Later, I don't know how I escaped from that dark room.
After that, I would have nightmares for several nights on end. In my dreams, I would see a baby lying on top of me covered in blood, and then laughing and laughing at me. That kind of laughter almost drove me crazy. Thinking of what the doctor said to me before, I felt that the child in Duan Niang's belly was becoming more and more strange. Perhaps, maybe the child in her womb was changed by that child.
I don't care what Duan Niang wants to give birth to, but she is a member of the Sheng family, if she really gives birth to a monster, won't we all have to suffer with her. So, I can't, and won't allow that baby to come into the world. ”
"So, you found the doctor who treated Duan Niang and asked him to mix safflower into the tocolytic pill he prescribed for Duan Niang?"
"Nope! I didn't! Lihua shook her head: "I don't know what safflower is, I just told the doctor that Duan Niang must not be allowed to give birth to that child." As for the tocolytic pills and safflower, I don't know anything. Of course, I don't need to know. I gave the doctor a lot of money, all of which I had saved privately. I have no selfish intentions, and I don't want to harm Duan Niang, I just don't want Duan Niang to harm our Sheng family. ”
"What about you? Who pushed you downstairs? ”
