Chapter 480: Digging a Pit
Another day passed.
When the chaos was about to open and day and night were about to turn, Meng heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of water dripping to the ground in his sleep.
She gritted her teeth, walked lightly to the door, and peeked out in the paper hole she had left beforehand.
A lifeless, white eyeball with no black pupils was right in front of her.
"Squeak~" There was a soft sound, the door opened a thin crack, and a fishy, clammy and cold wind blew in his face, pouring a mouthful of Meng Shi.
"Ah~" Meng Shi was caught off guard, screamed in horror, rolled his eyes up, and fainted and fell to the ground.
Xiang Chuan, who was sleeping on the side, was awakened, and got up in a panic to find out, only to see Meng lying on the ground, with a puddle of fishy water on the ground, mixed with a few strands of green moss and one or two small duckweeds.
Two tiny footprints drenched in water spread from outside the door to the front until they were no longer visible.
Xiang Chuan was cold all over his body, and screamed in his voice: "Come on, come on!" Help me! ”
The chaotic footsteps came in a hurry, and Lin Dashao said loudly: "What's the matter? ”
Xiang Chuan knelt beside Meng Shi, pointed to the watery footprints, twitched the muscles on his face in fear, knocked his upper teeth against his lower teeth, and made a strange sound: "Ghost...... Kelpie...... Climbed out of the well and jumped back into the well......"
Lin Ershao was born bold and not afraid of these, and chased out with a sword shouting and scolding, and sure enough, he saw the wet footprints disappear when he walked to the well.
"What did you see?" Lin Dashao carried Meng Shi to the bed, poured hot soup and pinched people, and interrogated Xiang Chuan.
Xiang Chuan's eyes rolled uncontrollably: "Ah, ah, female ghost, water ghost, looking for the lady's ......"
"Nonsense!" Lin Dashao couldn't bear it, and with an order, the little guy stepped forward to gag Xiangchuan's mouth, and then tied up the people and locked them in the firewood room, and strictly ordered the subordinates not to spread the word indiscriminately, otherwise they would just be killed.
Meng Shi was rescued, looking at his son with a pair of eyes and a dull expression.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Dashao couldn't hide his worries.
His hand suddenly hurt, and he was tightly grasped by Meng Shi.
"I ...... I ......" Meng Shi gasped, and swallowed back when the words came to his mouth: "I'm fine...... It was Xiang Chuan, the dead girl, who was dissatisfied with me and deliberately scared me. ”
"I think so." Lin Dashao said: "My son sold her." ”
Meng Shi tugged at the collar and nodded: "It's sold, it's sold......"
Lin Ershao walked in with a sword: "What's the matter with the water on this ground?" Why is my mother afraid of this? ”
Meng Shi roared angrily: "I said that the dead girl deliberately scared me!" What else to ask?! ”
Lin Ershao shrunk his neck by yelling, threw his sword angrily and strode away: "I can control you!" Love to say it or not! ”
Meng Shi rolled his eyes in anger: "This disobedient and unfilial son!" Cheng Ri will only be angry with me, if your father is still alive, where will I end up like this? ”
Lin Dashao listened quietly and said coldly: "Mother, did you cause any trouble?" Tell your son, and he will plan the aftermath for you. ”
Meng resolutely refused to admit it: "There is no such thing." ”
Lin Da Shao groaned slightly: "Then you can live in another place." ”
Meng Shi said eagerly: "I want a place where there is no water." ”
Lin Dashao responded, asked people to clean up Lin Yuanqing's original study, moved the Meng family, and did not buy people from outside, so he transferred an old woman who had been serving the family for many years to take care of it.
He himself went to Xiang Chuan: "Madame, have you been behaving unusually lately?" For example, who did you go to meet, and what unusual things happened? ”
Xiang Chuan had already come to his senses, stepped forward and hugged his leg tightly and begged: "Young master, the servant doesn't know anything, please don't sell the servant." Just a few days ago, Madame's only son went out for a walk, and she didn't bring her maidservant, and when she came back, her shoes and skirt were soaked. ”
Lin Dashao and Yan Yuese: "Very good, is there anything else inappropriate?" ”
Xiang Chuan shook his head: "No." ”
Lin Dashao said: "You are very good, my mother can't see you for the time being due to illness, I will temporarily send you to the countryside to live for a while, and then take you back when your mother is well, what do you think?" ”
Xiang Chuan believed that it was true, and broke into a smile: "The eldest young master is benevolent." ”
Lin Dashao made an arrangement, and called Xiangchuan out near evening: "You can take this car to the countryside." ”
Xiang Chuan did not doubt that he had him, carried his own small burden and followed Lin Dashao's long entourage, and happily got on a donkey cart and went outside the city gate.
The more you go, the darker it gets, the more desolate it gets.
She was finally a little scared: "How far is it?" Why don't you find a place to rest? ”
Chang said casually: "Miss Xiangchuan, you just have to rest, we just have to catch the car, and we will be there when you wake up." ”
Xiang Chuan was woken up by pain, and the chief attendant and the coachman tied her to death with hemp rope and carried her into a dirt pit.
The cold and wet dirt smashed down on her face, and she wanted to scream in horror for help, only to find that her mouth was already stuffed with a veil.
She couldn't make a sound, and could only look at the two men in despair and sadness.
Chang Sui and her are people who have known her for many years, and they can't bear to see her like this: "Don't blame the girl, you have to listen to other people's bowls, there are debtors and owners, don't blame us." I can't kill you, so that's it. ”
Xiang Chuan was buried in the cold soil.
After some time, the heavy pressure on her body suddenly lightened, and the fresh air entered her lungs through her mouth and nose, and she coughed violently, gasping greedily.
It wasn't until she felt like she was finally alive that she had time to look around and figure out what was going on.
There was a crude lantern on the ground, and the faint yellow light emitted by the lantern illuminated a person.
He crouched in front of her, a pair of small eyes staring at her curiously, and two thick black eyebrows hung like two worms on the eyes.
He was very young, five big and three thick, very strong, but a little hunchbacked, and looked a little vicious.
All around is a wilderness, and the trees with dark shadows show their teeth and claws, like fierce beasts that can eat people.
Xiang Chuan stepped back in horror, her lips trembling, and she couldn't say a word.
"I saved you." The man, with a thick northern accent, handed a large, rough hand to her: "You were buried alive, you know?" If I hadn't arrived in time, you'd have suffocated. ”
Xiang Chuan looked at the hand for a moment, two lines of clear tears flowed out, and two white furrows were washed on the mud-stained face.
"Don't cry! I didn't do anything to you! The man was in a hurry, and after a long time of hurrying, he found a handkerchief that exuded a strange smell and was wrinkled like dried plum vegetables: "You wipe it?" ”
