Chapter 95: The Demon's Hand
With the contempt and ridicule of Su Ergongzi, Miss Lin Er's tone seemed to be invisibly, turning around, thinking about the eldest sister's fiancΓ©, and saying what kind of chaste and fierce woman she was, it was really shameless!
When this matter reached Zhenbei's ears, she only smiled faintly.
All the people and things about the Su family and the Lin family have been sleeping underground with Lin Yunyin's rest, and since then, she is just Gu Zhenbei of the Yongchuan Ancient Family!
After finishing her studies at Hanmen Academy, she returned to Yongchuan Kingdom, looking for a petty official in a remote city to settle down, looking for someone to play chess with nothing to do, breaking a small case, and spending her life calmly and smoothly.
On this day, Zhen Bei was in the room, playing with her left hand and her right hand.
Just listen to Sima Duanli's voice, which sounded in the courtyard.
"Peony, is Brother Gu in the room?"
"Childe is inside. Sima Gongzi, why did you sweat so much? The slave and maid will wipe a handkerchief for you! β
"No, no!"
Before the words fell, a knock on the door had already sounded: "Zhenbei, come out quickly, something is wrong!" β
Zhenbei got up and opened the door, and when she saw him sweating profusely and panicking, she couldn't help but be surprised: "What happened?" β
"It's Brother Special and Senior Sister Zhou who have an accident!" Sima Duanli didn't care much to say, pulled her sleeve, and walked out, "Oh, I can't say a word clearly, you can follow me over and take a look, and you will know!" β
On the way to their courtyard, Zhen Bei finally sorted out the matter roughly from Sima Duanli's intermittent words.
A few days ago, while strolling down the street, Terter unexpectedly met an old man.
That person's name is Qi Ji'er, and he is a wizard who is somewhat famous in his hometown, and he came to Nangong for some reason.
Tertel was the enthusiastic man, and he was idle, and he was very happy to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign land.
He took Qi Ji'er to chat on the street for a while, and when they saw the time for dinner, the two simply came to a restaurant and chatted while eating.
Tertre has been interested in witchcraft since he was a child, but his ancestors have trained him, and royal descendants are not allowed to learn witch doctors and the like, but this does not hinder his curiosity about those strange things.
He pestered Qi Ji'er and asked him to talk about some strange and bizarre situations, and he had to take a look at the other party's demon hunting sword.
Qi Ji'er bluntly said that those artifacts could not be taken out at will to show people, so he politely refused his request, but seeing the disappointment on his face, he reluctantly took out another thing and let him open his eyes.
"I've never seen it either, I heard that it looks like a child's palm, and it's covered with yellow fluff," Sima Duanli pushed open the courtyard door, strode in, and said, "Ask him again!" β
As soon as Zhenbei entered the courtyard, she sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Marsa walked out of the room, and when she saw Zhen Bei, she was slightly stunned: "Gu Gongzi, are you here?" β
Zhen Bei saw that her eyes were slightly red, and she had obviously just cried, so she couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong with you?" β
Marsa shook his head lightly: "There are insects in your eyes just now, please go inside first, and the slave will make tea for you!" β
She is a very cheerful girl, after coming to Nanyang, she learned some new noun rules, and also learned peony them, calling herself a "slave".
Zhenbei's surprise became even worse, and she couldn't help but walk into the room.
The scene in the wing room made her even more dumbfounded, and she couldn't figure out the situation.
I saw Zhou Yufei sitting on the couch, crying in a low voice, and Tetel was standing at the table at a loss.
"This, Senior Sister Zhou, why are you here?"
The moment Tetel saw Zhenbei, his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Brother Gu, you are finally here!" β
Zhou Yufei also raised her eyes, glared at Terter angrily, and said, "You ask him!" β
Tetel shuddered when he touched her fire-breathing eyes and hid behind Zhenbei.
It turned out that after taking out the strange palm, Qi Ji'er said: "This thing is called the Devil's Hand, which was obtained by the profound Buddhist master in the belly of the black ape with his son, and after burying it in the place of the Yin for 7749 days, it was taken out, and then placed in the shrine covered with mantra seals, and it can be taken out after three seasons!" As long as you hold this demonic hand and close your eyes and pray sincerely, what you want will come true! But in return, it will take away one of your precious things, in exchange! β
Although Tertre knew that it was an evil thing, he still couldn't stop the curiosity in his heart, and reached out to the "demon's hand".
At that time, it happened that Zhou Yufei and the maid passed in front of the restaurant, Zhou Yufei was a standard lady, beautiful in appearance, dignified in manners, and the object of Naittel's long-term admiration.
Therefore, after that casual glance at that time, Tertel held the evil thing and thought, which was: "If you are fortunate enough to marry, a young lady like Senior Sister Zhou as a concubine, and wake up every morning and be greeted with a gentle smile, how happy and comfortable it should be!" β
Afterwards, Tertel was still complacent, and secretly laughed at the demon's hand, and after chatting with Qi Ji'er for a while, he put the matter behind him, hummed a newly-learned tune, and returned to the academy's residence.
With two days to go, the holiday was over, and in the evening Terter would beg Martha to let him drink a glass of wine, which he called "in memory of the last freedom"!
A glass of wine, for him, no more, no less, is just right, so as not to make him drunk, and he can sleep in a slightly drunken sleep.
Of course, even if he doesn't drink, he can still sleep very soundly.
However, this morning, his good sleep was terminated by a piercing scream.
I don't know when, there was an extra person by his side.
He looked at Zhou Yufei, who was full of panic beside him, and before he could figure out what was going on, he just said with an ignorant face: "Senior Sister Zhou, how did you climb onto my couch?" β
Because of these words, he had two more red palm prints on his face.
And Zhou Yufei's shouting attracted Marsa and Sima Duanli at the same time.
So, Terter suddenly thought of the demon's hand, and confessed it in public without concealment.
In any case, when this kind of thing happened, several people panicked.
You must know that the coexistence of men and women collapses, and it seems that the only way to get married can solve it!
And, with the identities of Zhou Yufei and Tertel, it seems that there is a lot of obstacle to getting married.
What's more, the parties obviously look like they are not willing to compromise.
Worried that things would be out of control, Sima Duanli hurriedly ran to Zhenbei to discuss.
"Miss Ben has been sleeping in her own courtyard for a long time, and she has come here when she has opened her eyes, and she blames you for being idle and making all those dirty wishes!" Zhou Yufei was so angry that she trembled.
Tetel lowered his head and said pitifully: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Zhou." I only think it's a thrilling game, how do you know it really works? β
Zhenbei asked the two of them to calm down temporarily: "Senior Sister Zhou, now is not the time to be held responsible, are you willing to marry Brother Special as a concubine?" β
This matter is very strange, but they have to solve the trouble in front of them first, presumably this matter, the people of the Zhou Mansion also found that their young lady disappeared out of thin air, maybe it has been a mess.
Zhou Yufei snorted coldly and said, "No, I don't want to leave Nanyang Kingdom and be that princess!" β
Zhen Bei nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I will wronged Senior Sister Zhou, just treat this matter as if it had never happened!" β
Zhou Yufei knew what she meant, as long as the few people present didn't say anything about it, then this unbelievable thing that made her ashamed could be revealed.
She bit her lip and thought for a while, then nodded, "That's it!" β
Several people present breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, how can the Zhou Mansion hide it?" Sima Duanli reminded.
Zhen Bei thought for a moment and said, "This is easy to say!" Peony, the set of rolling yarn dress I gave you a few days ago will be temporarily borrowed from Senior Sister Zhou to wear it. The two of you are of similar height and size, so others should not be able to see the clue! β
Peony's dress, Nai Zhenbei originally planned to buy it for herself, but since she gradually regained her feminine characteristics, even her mentality has slowly changed, in short, her love for beauty has become stronger.
For a few moments, she especially wanted to know what this body looked like in women's clothing, the rolling gauze dress, which she bought impulsively when she passed by the ready-to-wear workshop, and only when she returned to her residence and tried it on, she found that the size was far from the same.
Zhen Bei estimated that the peony should be dressed just right, so she gave it to her.
But the girl thought that the skirt of this dress was too long, it was not easy to do the work, the fabric was too expensive, and the pure white was not resistant to dirt, so she put it away and did not wear it.
The peony looked at the skirt the day before and sighed, it was a pity not to wear it dry, and it was a pity to wear it and feel distressed when it was broken.
When she heard that Miss mentioned the dress, she felt that giving it to Miss Zhou was the best way to understand one of her thoughts, so she hurriedly responded and ran out with a smoke, and she couldn't wait.
Zhou Yufei put on a dress, accompanied by her friend Qian Yiyi, and returned to Zhou's mansion in a carriage.
When they arrived, they found that, as expected, the Zhou Mansion was almost crazy because the eldest lady disappeared out of thin air.
Zhou Yufei only said, slept until midnight and suddenly remembered that she had a date with Qian Yiyi, so she quietly left Zhou's mansion to go to the appointment.
Although Mrs. Zhou had some doubts in her heart, fortunately, her daughter was safe and sound, and the matter was not easy to make a big fuss, so she blamed her for a few words and let the matter go.
Just when Zhou Yufei successfully concealed it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Tetel fell into another trouble.
As soon as Zhen Bei returned to her courtyard, she was pulled back by Sima Duanli.
"Many people came to the government, and they said that Brother Special had killed someone, and Lord Qin was also there!"
Zhen Bei was shocked when she heard this, and had to hurry back.
Seeing Zhen Bei coming in a hurry, Qin Wuchen bowed slightly to her and said, "Brother Gu! β
It didn't seem surprising that Dayou seemed to be sitting in the room waiting for her.
"Lord Qin, what happened?" Zhen Bei saw that he looked leisurely, and knew that the matter should not be particularly serious.
Tertel sat opposite him nervously, and when he saw the reinforcements arriving, he felt a little more confident in his heart, and quickly stood up and said, "Brother Gu, I didn't kill anyone!" β
Qin Wuchen took out a white handkerchief from his bosom and put it on the table: "A foreign wizard was killed in the inn and found this at the scene of the crime!" β
Zhen Bei picked up the handkerchief and opened it to see that there was an ebony card inside, engraved with the emblem of Hanmen Academy, and the numbers "Jia Shi Zero Zero Two Jiu" engraved on the back, which turned out to be Tertel's identity card!
