Chapter 35: Liu's Villa (19)
After hearing what Tang Juyi said beside him, Liu Fengsui's brain was redundant for a while, and he even began to wonder if there was something wrong with his brain with this "Mr. Tang".
However, considering the sharp blade that is in the position of his kidney, Liu Feng also understands that if he refuses this request, he may change from the son of the Liu family to the son of the kidney explosion in a while.
In order to avoid this from happening, Liu Fengsui only weighed the pros and cons a little and made a judgment easily.
After all, for him, even if he is a fiancée, she is just a woman who has not passed through the door. Moreover, the Han family where Han Jue is located is also in a weak position compared to the Liu family, and the marriage contract was originally made in this consideration, so Han Jue was chosen as the link between the two families.
Without too much hesitation, Liu Feng waved his hand and gave Han Jue a slap when he got up, and his applause was so crisp that even Liu San outside could hear it clearly.
"It's over...... it's over"
Liu San sighed, knowing that he shouldn't have appeared on this occasion, let alone hearing about it, so he hurriedly stayed away from the house.
"Who let you in like that?"
Liu Fengsui's voice was terrifyingly indifferent, as if he was just punishing an inconsequential subordinate.
Han Jue covered his face in a daze, and he couldn't react for a while, only feeling that the hot touch came in bursts, and it was even a little unreal.
"I ......"
Syllable!
"Do you think the man at the door is an ornament? Can't see the occasion? ”
Liu Feng slapped him again, causing Han Jue to stumble and kneel directly on the ground.
Han Jue, whose cheeks were slightly swollen, lowered his head, and his eyes gradually reddened, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only respond in a low voice:
"I'm sorry ......"
Liu Feng snorted, raised his hand and wanted to fan it out for the third time, but he heard Tang Juyi's voice of stopping:
"Young Master Liu, forget it!"
Now Liu Feng was puzzled: Didn't you want me to slap my fiancée? What's the trouble with this halfway stop?
Tang Juyi's "weak" voice came from the bed:
"After all, she didn't do it on purpose, Young Master Liu has a lot of them, just a little punishment, there is no need to make too much fanfare......"
What's this called? I slapped me, good man, you do it?
Liu Fengsui was so angry that he wanted to fight directly with Tang Juyi, who was pretending to be on the bed—if he could do it.
Of course, the drama still has to be done sufficiently.
Hearing Tang Juyi's words, Liu Feng also flicked his sleeves and said coldly:
"There are outsiders here, otherwise you will know what family law is! Get out! ”
Han Jue sobbed quietly, stood up with his head down, and walked out of the door without saying a word.
Why did Tang Juyi shout to stop? Of course, the reason is not because of sympathy, and even Tang Juyi prefers to see that Liu Feng draws Han Jue unconscious.
Because in Tang Juyi's plan, only the heavier Liu Feng's hands are, and in front of Tang Juyi, an outsider, can he cause more profound damage to Han Jue's heart.
This kind of injury is the foreshadowing that provoked Han Jue to rebel against the marriage contract.
As for the real reason why Tang Juyi suddenly changed his mind, it was actually because of a suspicious point that suddenly came to his mind.
In Tang Juyi's cognition, this "past" Liu's Villa is like a game script, and he is indeed exploring this villa with the mentality and perspective of a game.
In this script, the timeline is many years ago in Liu's Villa, so the people here are all alive. Each character has his own fixed personality and behavioral logic, and the plot will continue to advance and change with Tang Juyi's actions.
However, there is a long-standing contradiction.
That is the existence of Han Jue.
From the previous hidden mission, it can be known that Han Jue in the well should be a dead soul who has been drowned for many years, but in the villa at this time, she is a big living person like everyone else, a woman who doesn't know anything about everything before, and plays the role of Liu Fengsui's fiancée.
Her behavior seems to be as usual, and Tang Juyi has been communicating with the characters in the script to get along with her and trying to control the direction of the plot.
Tang Juyi even had an illusion: Did he really change the timeline of the past and bring back to life Han Jue, who should have drowned?
However, what if Han Jue is still a ghost?
A ghost in the form of a living person?
When Liu Fengsui's hand was raised high, Tang Juyi suddenly had a sense of palpitations.
He couldn't help but imagine for a moment, if Han Jue was a ghost who existed as a living person as he thought, then if it touched her bottom line too much, for example, it would be particularly intense mood swings......
Is it possible that this ghost will no longer be hidden, but face Tang Juyi in a real state?
Tang Juyi didn't dare to gamble, even if this possibility was just a random guess.
Therefore, when he saw Han Jue's state at that time, Tang Juyi, who was haunted by uneasiness, chose to stop, and did not let Liu Feng further humiliate Han Jue.
At this time, watching Han Jue's figure walk out of the guest room, Tang Juyi was inexplicably relieved.
However, Liu Fengsui didn't know what Tang Juyi was thinking, he only felt that he was being teased at this time, and he forcibly endured the anger in his head, and said in a calm tone as much as possible:
"Mr. Tang, are you satisfied?"
Tang Juyi came back to his senses and nodded:
"That's enough, you've already fulfilled it."
Seeing that Tang Juyi did not turn his face and deny people, Liu Fengsui's complexion also softened a little:
"In that case, what does Mr. Tang want to know about the so-called events of that year?"
Tang Juyi sat up, touched his chin, and said after a moment of silence:
"If you don't mind, start with your mother's cause of death."
The corners of Liu Fengsui's mouth twitched, but he still agreed:
"Okay."
……
"What is this? [Mutilated Letters (1)]? ”
Liu Shijun fiddled with the piece of paper in his hand for some reason, and also asked the other two.
After a period of searching, the three of them also collected a lot of clues while always vigilant for danger, and this [mutilated letter (1)] is one of them.
Liang Yin took the letter paper, spread it out, and read it word by word:
"[Mr. Yang, I have prepared everything to go to the end of the world with you, and no longer succumb to live in this willow mansion to be called by others...... When the time comes, you can leave. 】...... What does that mean? ”
Luo Fei sat aside and wiped his glasses, and after listening, he said his guess:
"Is it that the two people in this Liu Villa are ready to elope?"
Liang Yin frowned and said:
"I don't know...... Who is Mr. Yang? It is also not mentioned in this article. ”
Liu Shijun was still rummaging through the clue items placed together with the letterhead, and at this time he also said:
"Could it be this person?"
While speaking, Liu Shijun held up a small ink portrait and showed it to the two:
The person painted on this seems to be called "Yang Mang", I don't know if it's Mr. Yang. ”
Luo Fei's eyes lit up:
"Take it and see!"
Liu Shijun didn't have any ink, so he directly spread the scroll on the ground and pointed to the handwriting on it:
"No, see for yourself."
Luo Fei stepped forward and saw the faces on the scroll clearly:
The face painted in red and white oil paint, the handsome face, the sturdy figure that can be vaguely seen, and the exaggerated opera costumes, it is not difficult to see the identity of this person.
Shaking his head, Luo Fei also said:
"There are some possibilities, but there are no other clues to the connection. And, I think it's more important to care about this thing than it's about it. ”
As he spoke, Luo Fei placed a wooden object in front of him.
The whole thing looks like an offering table, and there are traces of burning incense candles on it. In the main area, there is a row of nine small portals, each of which houses nine cloth figures.
The facial features of the puppet are only composed of three or two strokes, but they are vivid, and the charm is pointed out under those few strokes.
It's just that one of the nine dolls at this time is already as if it has been burned, and it is already charred black, and its original appearance cannot be seen.
"These nine dolls, as far as I can assume, are most likely related to the nine ghosts mentioned in the prompt. What is already known is that Qin'er's ghost has been sealed, and it just so happens that there is another puppet here that is abnormal, which may be the key to our survival. ”
Luo Fei said solemnly.
Liu Shijun scratched his head:
"The question is...... What's the use of this? Do you want us to put incense on them? ”
Liang Yin pointed curiously to one of the dolls:
"Eh, you see, this idol doesn't look like that portrait?"
When Liu Shijun and Luo Fei heard this, they also saw the puppet that Liang Yin was referring to, and they really found that it was a little similar to the "Yang Mang" on the portrait.
"Could it be that Yang Mang will also be a ghost?"
Liu Shijun made a bold guess.
Luo Fei took a deep breath:
"Quite possibly! But what we know so far is limited after all, and we still can't guess so as not to make mistakes. ”
Liu Shijun agreed with Luo Fei's words, while Liang Yin was frowning and observing something.
Seeing that Liang Yin seemed to have made a discovery, Luo Fei was also curious:
"What, what's wrong?"
Liang Yin hesitated, but still stretched out his finger:
"Nine puppets correspond to nine ghosts...... So what ...... does the humanoid pattern at the top represent? ”
