Chapter 242: Ghosts and Shadows
"Ah, sister-in-law!" Guo Ling was startled and fell into Chen's arms, after that day's fire, she had been in shock, and she was not sure that any wind and grass could startle her, not to mention that the candle flame suddenly went out in this closed room.
Chen Shi was not afraid, but looking at the trembling child in his arms, he had to bite the bullet and comfort, "What's not in the way is the wind, don't be afraid, don't be afraid," she said to comfort herself, Chen put her arms around Guo Ling while looking at the dark room in horror while slowly groping to the table, and said tremblingly, "Let's just light the candle, Ling'er, don't be afraid." ”
As she spoke, she went to touch the fire, but before she could make a move, a lot of dim light lit up around the room.
"Ahh Guo Ling screamed, hugged her head and closed her eyes, and squatted directly on the ground, Chen was also so frightened that his legs were weak and subconsciously protected Guo Ling, pretending to be fearless and yelling, "Who is pretending to be a ghost here!" If you have the ability to come out, what kind of hero is hiding in the shadows! ”
The moment he finished speaking, several 'dead' terrifying people appeared in the room out of thin air, so frightened that Chen almost turned his back and sat directly on the ground, his face was pale and he had no confidence, "You, who are you, we didn't harm you!" ”
Tang Meng hid on the side and watched all this, thinking that the skills of this secret guard were really not covered, and sure enough, the elusive kung fu on weekdays came in handy, in the past, they could scare people enough by wearing uniform clothes and without makeup, and now they are dressed as ghosts.
Tang Meng pinched his nose, and his voice was slender and gloomy in this dark and gloomy place, "You did something wrong, we came to take you away." ”
"Wronged, we haven't harmed anyone," Chen was shocked when he heard this, and let go of Guo Ling who was busy kowtowing on the ground, "Ghost master, you caught the wrong person, we are all ordinary people and have never done anything wrong." ”
"Guo Yidu has already confessed, saying that you framed Li Kang, Li Kang's life will not be long in coming, he will become a ghost, and you must go to hell together."
"No, we don't have a ghost!" Chen was so frightened that he was sobbing and even though he was trembling, he didn't forget to protect Guo Ling beside him.
Tang Mengmeng gave Jia San a look, and in an instant the door was opened, and a cold wind poured in, and when the door was closed, Chen could barely open his eyes again, and there was an extra cauldron in the house, and the firewood was booming, the fire was extinguished, and the sparks were also exploding in the air with non-stop.
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid," Guo Ling was already scared with tears on her face, "Is my brother back?" ”
Chen gritted his teeth and covered her eyes, "Don't be afraid, even if black and white impermanence comes, you will catch your sister-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
At this time, the oil in the pot was already bubbling with huge bubbles, and the gloomy voice was again, "Chen, don't you still admit your guilt?" ”
Chen gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, "I, I am not guilty, it was Li Kang who abused lynching and killed my father-in-law, we were wronged!" ”
"This oil pot is specially designed to punish liars, and if you don't tell the truth, this is your fate," Tang Meng said that the secret guards immediately understood, one of them held the other and directly pressed his hand into the oil pot, and Guo Ling, who was frightened by the screams and explosions, fainted instantly, and the Chen family only had half a life left.
"Niangniang, this ......" Dong Cheng's face was anxious, and as soon as he whispered, he was pulled by Song Ming's sleeve.
Song Ming whispered in his ear, "Aren't you still at ease with Niangniang and the prince, when have they treated the people around them harshly, you can rest assured!" ”
Dong Cheng gave up at this time, but he still couldn't bear not to look over his head and not look at the scene in the house, after all, this visual impact and the sound were too scary and impactful, and even he was a man who almost couldn't stand it.
Seeing that Guo Ling had fainted, the secret guard in the house picked up the tea bowl in his hand and woke up again, "Which of you will come first?" ”
Chen and Guo Ling were already shaking together, and there was a cry in the room.
Tang Meng whispered to Ling Qing, "Go, it's time for you to appear." ”
Ling Qing appeared behind the screen in the house a moment after receiving the order, his shadow was projected in front of everyone, and then it was illuminated by the cold light, and the shadow was even more ghostly, "Ling'er." ”
Guo Ling was startled, and looked behind the screen in disbelief, "Brother? Her eyes were red from crying, and when she saw her brother who she missed day and night, she finally couldn't help crying, "Brother, I miss you so much, I'm so scared, I haven't been able to sleep all night since you died, as soon as I close my eyes, it's the scene in the prison, I'm so scared, brother......"
Chen hugged Guo Ling, who collapsed, with the same teary eyes, "Is it you?" ”
Ling Qing let out a long sigh, "It's me, it's hard to regret it if I did something stupid, you and Ling'er haven't been contaminated with human life, stop it." ”
Chen shook his head desperately with tears in his eyes, "Xianggong, didn't we say that we must protect Ling'er, if you don't do what they say, Ling'er's life will not be saved!" Chen's psychological defense, which he had insisted on for a few days, finally collapsed when he saw Guo Yi, "I have sent all the children to the countryside, as long as I can save Ling'er's life, it doesn't matter if I want my life, didn't we say that we would not be afraid of death!" ”
Ling Qing's voice trembled and remorseful, "I regret that I shouldn't have hurt myself and you in the first place, Ling'er's life can have many chances of survival, but we chose the most extreme path, when you and I are dead, what if those people don't let her go, who will protect her?" ”
Chen sobbed, "Xianggong, it's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death and don't dare to get into the oil pot, it's that I can't bear Ling'er, I can't rest assured, I have been in your house for decades, you treat me politely and respectfully, this is a blessing that many women can't cultivate, you only have a sister Ling'er, I have to do my best to protect her." ”
"You're so confused! I've paid the price with my life, but those people still won't let you two go, don't you understand? Is it still necessary to hide it for them? Those people are using us, wake up! ”
Chen cried and shook her head, she also knew that her and Guo Ling's lives were in danger, but she didn't dare to see the reality clearly, and still retained a glimmer of hope, because once she recognized that she was the one who was used and abandoned, Guo Ling would have no way to survive at all, and the other party would definitely kill her, and Guo Yi's life would eventually be in vain.
Chen didn't dare to recognize all this, she shook her head desperately and sobbed silently, "They have already started, I don't know where to flee with Ling'er." ”
"Go find Song Ming, beg him to take you into the palace to explain everything to Your Majesty, only in this way can you save Ling'er's life and eliminate my sins, otherwise any of us are sinners, I have been innocent all my life, and I got on the thief ship because I couldn't figure it out for a while, you and Ling'er are still alive and have a chance to repent!"
"Xianggong ......" Chen crawled on his knees and cried like a tearful person, Tang Meng and several of them hid in the shadows, and they also had mixed feelings, if it wasn't really forced to the extreme, if it wasn't for the malicious traps and temptations of someone with a heart, how could a good family with a decent family come to this point.
Guo Ling cried and crawled towards Ling Qing's shadow, "Brother, are you okay over there?" Are they in trouble for you," she trembled and fell to her knees, "it's all my fault, it's me who hurt you." ”
Duan Jingyi nodded at Ling Qing in the dark, and in an instant, the door was blown open by a strong wind, this time the wind was even more violent and violent, and the blue fire in the room was all blown out.
Guo Ling screamed and hugged Chen again, the two of them thought that a ghost had come to catch them and go to the oil pot, and both of them screamed, but suddenly found that there was no movement in the house.
Chen had the courage to open his eyes, only to see a bright candle burning on the table in the room, and Fang Cai's ghost and oil pot were all gone, as if it was like a dream just now, everything came suddenly and disappeared without a trace, only the tremors and tears of these two people can show that everything in Fang Cai has really happened.
In this regard, the two Chen family were even more convinced of each other's talents, and chased to the door and kept kowtowing outside, Chen silently wept and muttered something in his mouth, "I'm going to go to the adults to explain everything, and beg the ghost master of the underworld not to treat my family husband harshly, it's all my fault......"
And Tang Meng, who was hiding in the shadows, also returned to the main hall of Jingzhao West Mansion.
After about a stick of incense, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, "Lord Song, the folk woman Chen asks to see you." ”
