Liu Jingtai, who was so frightened that his eyes widened, kept dancing, but the clan brother in front of him was still looking around, but he never noticed anything unusual, and turned his head to take a look.

"Don't make a sound! Otherwise...... It will scare my children. ”

The hoarse and ugly male voice sounded in his ears, and a body behind his back that seemed to exude a chill like an ice cube slowly approached, making his hair stand on end and his whole body shivered.

Liu Jingtai was extremely frightened, his eyes were frightened, he looked around, but he glanced at the corner of his eyes, but he couldn't help but find that he didn't know when a child was squatting at his feet.

The child wore a slender pigtail at the back of his head, wore a bare-back belly pocket, and was holding a paper windmill in his small pale hands.

As if sensing the sight, the child slowly raised his head, but what caught Liu Jingtai's eyes was a bloodless face, and the strange thing was that his cheeks were still rubbed with a thick blush, which formed a strange contrast with his pale complexion, which was creepy!

"Let's play......" The child opened his mouth, his voice was like maggots attached to his bones, and only black pupils could be seen in a pair of eyes that should have been innocent.

*********

The next day was early in the morning, Su Wanmiao got up early as usual, washed up, and wanted to go directly to the hall, but after hesitating, she decided to turn around and go to worship in front of the Bodhisattva Buddha statue enshrined in the mansion.

This Bodhisattva Buddha statue has been placed in the house for many years, and it was left by the old lady Su when he was there, and it was usually some old people who offered incense and worshipped. Although it can't be said to be very effective, it means that the house is safe, and there is always incense and tribute on weekdays.

But in recent days, whether it is in business or at home, there are more and more unsatisfactory or strange things, plus the matter of Huaisheng Zen Master removing ghosts a few days ago, Su Wanmiao can't help but believe it, so she also took a little time out of her busy daily life and went to worship on purpose.

"Miss, do you think the Bodhisattva will really hear our prayers?"

Ying'er, who was standing on the side, glanced at Miss Su, who was clasping her hands together and kneeling with her eyes closed, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What's wrong?" Su Wanmiao looked sideways slightly and looked at her.

"For example, Ying'er's parents, they have always believed in Buddhism! No matter what year it is, no matter how bad the harvest is, I will squeeze out some money to make offerings to the temple, pray for a good harvest in the coming year, and pray for my brother's illness to get better......" Ying'er tilted her head, as if recalling, and said slowly with a little sadness on her face, "However, the harvest in the field is still getting worse and worse, and my brother's illness is getting worse and worse, and in the end he still sold me to the house......"

"Will the Bodhisattva really hear our prayers?" Ying'er looked at the statue of the Bodhisattva sitting upright on the altar, and although she had kind eyes, the slightly upturned corners of her lips seemed to her to be a mockery of the believers who knelt down to worship.

Laughing at their incompetence, they can only pin their hopes on the ethereal gods and Buddhas!

"Ying'er, don't talk nonsense in front of the Bodhisattva."

Su Wanmiao didn't know how to answer, just admonished, looked up at the Bodhisattva, but at the moment she didn't have the heart to worship the Buddha, hesitated for a while, and then got up and walked towards the hall.

As she walked, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Husband...... How's it going? ”

It's also a little ashamed, as a wife, but she didn't live up to the shame of her wife, she showed up all day long to run for business, Du Bai didn't blame her for being extremely considerate.

"Uncle?"

Ying'er thought for a while: "Uncle's body seems to be much better than before, and he seems to be much more cheerful, and his appetite has also improved." And the previous uncle was gloomy all day long, and he was full of mouths, and now he is also funny when he talks......"

Thinking of a little joke that Du Bai casually told her before, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle twice.

"Funny?" Su Wanmiao has not had a long talk with Du Bai in recent days, and naturally there is no way to find these details, as far as her impression is concerned, it is difficult to associate the sick and gloomy scholar on the day of marriage with the humor in Ying'er's mouth.

"By the way, my uncle likes to read books these days, and he loves to practice calligraphy, and he writes an article and throws it away if he is not satisfied, but it is clear that in Ying'er's opinion, he writes better than those writing gentlemen on the street." Ying'er muttered again.

Su Wanmiao's face was a little puzzled, and she couldn't figure out what the husband's behavior pattern was. But as long as she lived in peace, she didn't expect anything from this scholar, who was just a poor and talented scholar.

She just waited for the time to be ripe in the future, and when she didn't have those vague mustards in her heart, and when his health was a little better, she would have sex with him and give birth to a son and a half daughter - of course, the more heirs, the better, and the Su family's bloodline was still too thin. Then teach him some business things, at least take care of the people.

If you don't like discipline, it doesn't hurt, read a book every day, and teach your children to read and write in the future.

After living this life so peacefully, it can be regarded as complete.

This is what Grandpa and Dad expected. After all, she is just a daughter, and things in business cannot go on like this forever, which is not only irresponsible to the family, but also irresponsible to the husband.

As for herself...... But I can't care about it so much.

But that's another story, for now, she can't completely let go of the estrangement in her heart, and it will take some time to have sex together.

She breathed softly, feeling a slight tightness in her chest, but she didn't know how to solve it, so she could only speed up her pace and walk towards the hall.

Although it was still early at this time, there were already many people waiting in the hall, just waiting for her arrival.

"Miss!" The shopkeepers of several shops were talking, and when they saw her come in, they all got up and saluted Su Wanmiao.

"What's the matter, they're all gathered here today."

Su Wanmiao sat on the main seat, took a sip of a cup of warm tea handed over by the maid next to her, and asked them.

"Something big is going on in the city!" An old shopkeeper with gray hair was a little surprised, "Then the Liu family, the Liu family has encountered a catastrophe......

"The old man of the Liu family and his brother were found dead in the pool this morning, only half of their body was swollen by the blisters, and the water in the pool was dyed red, and the remaining half of their bodies seemed to have been eaten by some wild beast, and they couldn't find it."

"What!"

Su Wanmiao was so shocked that she couldn't maintain the calmness and calmness on her face, and her palm trembled slightly, and the teacup slipped from her palm and fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.

She didn't care about the mess, and hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Just before dawn today, Mrs. Liu sent someone to look for her father-in-law when she saw that her father-in-law had not returned overnight, and found something wrong and searched all the way, and then quickly reported the case. Now that the people from the yamen have gone there, there is a lot of uproar, and the people of the Liu family can't hide the news if they want to. It's just that there is no result yet. ”
