Chapter 20: Unease
There's an accident in the main house!
Li Ershao's frightened shouts shocked the entire Li Mansion at once.
The people, who had been terrified at night, were even more frightened when they heard this shout, and for a time no one came out of their houses!
It wasn't until Li Ershao was angry and threatened to abuse that someone pretended to have the courage to rush over one after another.
As more people slowly increased, Li Ershao's fright calmed down a little, and more and more people were frightened when they saw the bloody child's shoes, and their faces were extremely unnatural, and the discussion gradually rose.
"Oh my God, look at the size of these shoes, it's a child, right?"
"No, it's not just the size, you see, too!"
"It's too scary, you say, the evil that has been making trouble in the house these days, it can't be a child, right?"
“----”
The sound of discussion penetrated into his ears, Li Ershao's face was instantly ugly, and he was about to scold, when he heard the old lady in the house constantly calling him, he hurriedly went to help his grandmother and walked out.
When the old lady saw the shoes, her whole body was cold.
"Second young master, old lady, come and see, there are footprints here!"
Outside the moon gate in the courtyard, there was a sudden exclamation, and two maids immediately came over to help the old lady, and a group of people hula walked outside the moon gate.
"Holy shit, when you're blind and can't see!"
No one noticed that a dark shadow on the roof had quietly left at this point.
Cao Hou didn't come down again since he went to the roof, and when he heard that someone had finally found the bloody footprints left behind, he immediately avoided everyone's sight, followed the roof all the way to the small partition at the well, and then pulled a piece of roof tiles, and kept tossing and weighing it in his hand.
"This way, the footprints are coming this way!"
Soon, a few of the housekeepers who walked faster came to the well with torches.
Cao Hou stared at the position of the torch and calculated the distance, and when the first person entered the moon gate here, the tile in his hand flew out, and at a very tricky angle, he rubbed the canopy on the well and fell into the well, making a 'poof' sound.
Several of the housekeepers who rushed over shook their bodies suddenly!
"What's the sound!?"
"It's over the well, my grass, and the footprints are also going over there, I said brothers, no one should jump into the well this big night, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense on your dog days, how can the sound of someone jumping into the well be so small---- go over and take a look first!"
The torches were close to the well, and they could already faintly reach the roof.
Cao Hou scolded, '! Immediately lowered his body, and the whole person was attached to the tiles of his diaphragm face in a five-body posture.
I can't see it now, but I can still hear it.
Immediately after, he heard a trembling exclamation.
"It's paper shoes!"
Scared you to death! Cao Hou knew that the matter was done even if it was done here, so he breathed a sigh of relief, this tossing was really not an ordinary tiring.
Second Young Master Li and the old lady and a group of about 20 people arrived later, saw the pair of paper shoes, and then heard the voice that a few family members said they had just heard, and their bodies fainted, and they didn't know whether they were shocked or frightened.
And with the discussion of everyone gathered together in the second half of the night, a series of things that happened this night became eyebrows.
First something knocked on the old lady's door, it should have been to harm the old lady tonight, but I didn't expect that such a young man as Second Young Master Li was in the house, and he was rushed by the Yang Qi of the second young master, and there were many people who came over, that thing was frightened and ran away, and finally ran to the well and jumped in.
And that thing, most likely, is a dead child.
Panic!
It can't go on like this! The lame porter Old Man Li was in the crowd, he thought of the young Taoist priest he saw in the village during the day to catch evil spirits, and caught two dead cats in the woman's house at the west end that were obviously dead, but still scratched people, and found several cat graves around the village in a row, and wanted to talk to the second young master about it.
But when the words came to his lips, he gave up, and after thinking about it, he still felt that after dawn, he would go to the village to see the situation, and then if the little Taoist chief was a liar, wouldn't it be a smash his own job if he introduced it?
At noon the next day, Chen Xiaodonkey and Cao Hou met in the teahouse.
After listening to Cao Hou's talk about the matter of tossing Li Zhai last night, he took a sip of tea lightly and said: "Don't be so chicken and dog jumping tonight, Master Li Ming invited a magic stick from Jiangsu to catch the evil spirit, I don't know if it's here, we have to give the master a little face." ”
"What!?" Cao Hou thought he had heard it wrong and gouged out his ears.
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Tonight, Li's house must be full of people, the old lady has to live there, although Li Mingshi did not block the courage that may be bankrupt due to the collapse of feng shui in order to fulfill his filial piety, but he will definitely arrange many people in the house, we have no chance to toss again." ”
"That's true, but why does the old lady have to live there?" Cao Hou is not stupid, but he has the same doubts in his heart as before Chen Xiaodonkey.
Chen Xiaodonkey repeated the statement he heard from Li Huzhen last night.
Cao Hou said: "Then what do you say tonight?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey said: "Do you remember that there is a thing there, called Soul Incense?" You go to the Li house tonight, and when they are relaxed, blow a pipe of incense into the main house, and then go into the house to do two things. ”
"Which two?"
"First, first pronounce the name Li Linsheng in the old lady's ear, and repeat it several times. Second, no matter how many people are in the house, you tell them a story about Emperor Chongzhen hanging himself on a coal mountain. ”
"Li Linsheng, isn't this his father surnamed Li, but why ----?"
"Shut up and just do things, can you learn it useless?" Chen Xiaodonkey had a headache when he heard Cao Hou ask, and said angrily: "Are you sure I can explain it, and you can understand it with your IQ?" ”
"Chen Xiaodonkey, I'll grass your second uncle!" Cao Hou scolded directly, and then said, "Then I have to run first and it's useless over there?" Such a big job, my leg almost didn't break last night, you scold me, but can you get me a car? ”
"You don't need to run, I still have unused stock here, but be careful when you blow this, don't fucking suck it yourself like last time, and I have to wipe your ass!"
Chen Xiaodonkey placed a packet of brown powder on the table.
This thing is a kind of incense that Zhang Wuyong concocted, saying that it is a misty incense, but the medicinal strength is not as domineering as Xiao Zhou Gong circulating in the Shanghai black market, and it will only make people who inhale it enter a state of light sleep. But this thing also has a very peculiar effect - it makes people dream.
As for how to match it, only Zhang Wufu knows, and Chen Xiaodonkey has never asked about his exclusive secret recipe.
Looking at Cao Hou for seconds, constantly sneering there, he continued: "You have to run over there often, what you said is also a problem, wait here, I'll find you a bicycle!" ”
"Whoa! What kind of bicycle do I want, I want ---- want a car! Chen Xiaodonkey, you bastard! Seeing the little donkey leave after speaking, Cao Hou was so angry that his liver hurt and he didn't dare to raise his voice.
In less than an hour, Chen Xiaodonkey rode back from Zhao Nansong's mansion, threw the key to the car lock to Cao Hou and left in a hurry.
"Brother Cat, it's time to eat!"
After getting two meals from a nearby restaurant, Chen Xiaodonkey opened the door with a greeting on his lips, and his complexion changed suddenly in an instant!
The room was in turmoil, and there were signs of rummaging through. Even the position of the bed was not spared, the mattress was rolled halfway, and the bed board was lifted open.
The locked drawer was halfway pulled out, and the lock was now thrown on the table.
Seeing that the little ocean left in the drawer was still there, Chen Xiaodonkey quickly denied the idea of entering the thief, and then, his heart sank suddenly.
Taiping Order!
With a little uneasiness, Chen Xiaodonkey opened the dark grid.
The box containing the Taiping Order was placed safely inside, the compass scale was intact, there was no trace of passing, and the Taiping Order in the box was still there.
The bizarre situation made Chen Xiaodonkey in a trance.
Someone wanted the Taiping Order, so he put things here and waited for the other party to pick them up, and the other party did come, but he didn't take them, this incident has made him have a very bad guess, thinking that eighty percent of it is related to that incident decades ago.
So what is the current situation? Could it be that the other party is looking for something else? Otherwise, he knew where he put the Taiping Order, why did he make such a mess in the house?
Also, where is Brother Cat?
