Chapter 97

After Hu Qian came back, the people who went out to look for her also came back one after another.

Hu Qian's brother, Hu Yong, a tall and strong honest man, said thank you to Liyan several times with red eyes.

Because people came back, and some people took care of Hu Qian with Sister-in-law Hu, Liyan and a few people were invited to the room used to entertain guests outside.

The Hu family said that they would leave them at home for a meal, as a way to thank the Liyan people.

Because Li Yan wanted to find out the source of the ghost qi on Hu Qian's body, he agreed without hesitation.

"You...... Aren't you in a hurry to go? Chu Yi asked.

Liyan sighed and said, "There is something not quite right with Hu Qian, I have to find out the reason." As for that person, it is always possible to find. ”

Chu Yi wanted to say something, but Liyan didn't give him a chance.

Taking advantage of the absence of the Hu family, she released Yuan Cheng.

"You go and see what the people in Hu Qian's room are doing, there is a woman in purple clothes, goose egg face, very white face, and a good figure, you pay attention to her."

"No problem."

"What's wrong with her?" If it weren't for the words, he wouldn't have noticed that there was such a woman.

"The breath I felt in Hu Qian was also felt in her. Moreover, there was something wrong with her eyes when she looked at Hu Qian. ”

Chu Yi wasn't in the room, so he didn't see that scene, "What's wrong?" ”

Liyan recalled carefully that when everyone else was comforting Sister-in-law Hu, she was the only one standing outside the crowd. He kept rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes were full of horror.

"She looked a little scared of Hu Qian."

"But, I haven't heard that Hu Qian hurts people."

"Yes, I'm curious why she's afraid of a helpless girl."

Chu Yi pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Could it be, that man is ......?"

Liyan raised his hand to interrupt him, and after a while, Hu Yong came in with tea.

"There is no good tea at home, and I hope a few people will not dislike it." Hu Yong rubbed his hands.

Liyan picked up the tea, took a sip, and proved to him with practical actions that she did not dislike it at all. Xuan Nian followed closely and drank the tea in the cup.

Chu Yi hesitated for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip. It's not as unpleasant as I imagined, and I vaguely tasted the aroma of jujubes.

"Brother Hu, Miss Hu Qian has woken up?"

Hearing Liyan ask about Hu Qian, the smile on Hu Yong's face disappeared in an instant.

"Not yet."

"There are some things that I don't know whether to ask or not."

Hu Yong looked at Liyan, scratched his head, and said, "Ligirl, you saved Qianqian, you are the benefactor of our Hu family, you can just say anything directly." ”

"Miss Hu, has she ever seen anything in the last few days?" Liyan asked.

Hu Yong's eyes widened as he looked at Liyan, and he looked around vigilantly. Seeing that there was no one around, he told Liyan that four days ago, Hu Qian had indeed told him that she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.

"My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I can't listen to this. That night, Qianqian was yelling in the yard, and I went to see her. She gestured to me and said that she saw Cunwen in the courtyard, who was my short-lived brother-in-law. Hu Yong sighed and said, "I thought, Cunwen and Qianqian don't have any grievances, he may just want to come to see his sister, but he was accidentally bumped into by Qianqian." Who knows, after that day, Qianqian will become crazy. She also couldn't speak, and she couldn't tell us what was really going on. ”

"Leaving the girl, is it difficult, is it really Cunwen following Qianqian?"

Liyan thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure about this." ”

Hu Yong looked at Liyan in a daze.

Li Yan explained: "I did see some breath in Miss Hu that did not belong to people, but I didn't see the owner of that breath beside her. Therefore, it is not certain. ”

After a while, Hu Yong reacted to what he said. This means that there is indeed something following his sister, and the person in front of him can save his sister.

"Leave the girl, you...... Can you save Qianqian? Hu Yong asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes."

Hu Yong immediately went to tell Sister-in-law Hu and the rest of the Hu family.

However, he was stopped by Liyan.

"Don't tell anyone about this for now. Too many people know that fear of change. ”

Hu Yong didn't really understand what he meant by Liyan, but don't tell anyone else for the time being, he understands.

"What else do you want to know from the girl?" He asked.

"Where is Liu Cunwen dead, can you take us to see?"

Hu Yong looked outside the house and saw that it was still early, so he agreed.

"It's really Cunwen following Qianqian, will my daughter-in-law be okay?"

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "You take me outside the house to have a look." ”

The Hu family's house is quite large, and Hu Yong and his wife live in the west wing.

Li Yan didn't find a ghost in their room, and it seemed that the ghost had identified Hu Qian. However, in order not to worry Hu Yong, Liyan still asked Xuan Nian to put a piece of rune paper on the door.

"Then he won't be able to get in."

"Thank you, girl."

"You're welcome."

talked to Sister-in-law Hu, and repeatedly assured her that they didn't want to leave, but just wanted to go out for a walk, so she let them go.

Li Yan keenly noticed that several women who had gathered in Hu Qian's room had left. The person she cared about very much, who looked at Hu Qian's eyes wrong, also left.

"When did they leave?"

Sister-in-law Hu was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand why Liyan asked this, but after all, she was her daughter's life-saving benefactor, so she replied to her, "Just go for a while." ”

Liyan nodded to her and asked her to go back to take care of Hu Qian.

"There is a woman in purple clothes, goose egg face, and a relatively white face, does Brother Hu remember who she is?"

Hu Yong thought about it carefully and said, "You should be talking about Daewoo's daughter-in-law, surnamed Cai, and she is my cousin-in-law." ”

cousin-in-law, that is Hu Qian's cousin-in-law. If she is Hu Qian's cousin-in-law, why should she be afraid of Hu Qian? I don't understand.

"What is her relationship with Miss Hu? I don't think she stayed to take care of Miss Hu. ”

Hu Yong shook his head and said, "My cousin-in-law didn't stay, that's a good thing." My cousin treated her as a grandmother of a large family, and found a girl for her to serve, and her fingers did not touch the spring water. Qianqian wants to help the family, and she doesn't like to play with Qianqian. ”

"After Miss Hu's accident, did she come to see her?"

Hu Yong realized that Li Yan had been asking the two of them questions, "Miss Li, are you ...... Well, what to suspect? ”

"I'll be blunt, I found the same aura in her as in Miss Hu." Reading nests

Hu Yong scratched his head and said, "Can that thing appear on two people at the same time?" ”

"Yes, as long as they've been in contact with that thing for a long time. Or, the two of them have been in contact for a long time. ”

"I remember she came once, but that was three days ago."

Three days ago, it stands to reason that the breath shouldn't have been around for so long. Could it be that they saw it yesterday? Or, the ghost who left their breath on them was with her. It's not impossible.

"I've already looked for ...... People went to check, let's go to the river first. ”

Hu Yong nodded, and then walked to the river with a few people.

That place, as the old doctor said, was very remote.

On the way, Hu Yong also told them that few people came to this place. Because, there have been people who have died here, and everyone thinks it is unlucky. Liu Cunwen was not from their town, so he didn't know about it, so he somehow came over.

"Actually, there are rumors in the town. Cunwen, he took a fancy to a ...... The daughter-in-law was seen by her husband. Hu Yong whispered.

Li Yan looked at Hu Yong in surprise.

"Does Brother Hu think these are true?"

"People die greatly, and I don't want to talk about it. However, there is indeed something disgraceful about the preservation of the text. This time, he came to our house to hide from people. ”

I don't know what to do now, this brother-in-law's wind and snow are quite exciting.

"Could it be that person chasing after him?" Liyan asked.

Hu Yong shook his head and said, "The government has already checked, before the accident with Cunwen, that person was drunk and fell and injured his leg, and he has not recovered." ”

As they spoke, several people had already walked to the river.

The river was overgrown with weeds, but because of the murder, people came and went, and they were trampled on badly.

The murder weapon that killed Liu Cunwen was taken away by the government. Due to the heavy rain last night, the blood stains were also washed away.

Hu Yong pointed out to them the approximate location of Liu Cunwen's murder.

Li Yan took a closer look, and the location was not hidden. However, there was a large willow tree not far from the corpse, which was very hidden. In the evening, it is difficult to find a person hiding there.

Although the whereabouts of Liu Cunwen's soul were not discovered, Liyan felt a strong resentment from then on. The resentment has lasted for a long time, and it seems that Liu Cunwen has really become a resentful soul.

Li Yan stared at the willow tree, then raised his leg and walked towards the willow tree.

Hu Yong and the others also hurriedly followed.

Before they could get closer, an unknown object suddenly popped out of the river and attacked several people.

Xuan Nian's eyes were quick and blocked the attack for Liyan.

Liyan suddenly remembered what Hu Yong said, a person died in this river. No wonder this place is so resentful, it turns out that there is another one in it.

Hu Yong was stunned in place, but fortunately, Chu Yi reacted quickly and dragged him away.

Without the two of them in the way, it was much easier for Liyan and Xuannian to deal with the ghost in the river.

The two sides fought back and forth three times, and the ghost in the river was tied out with a red rope by Liyan.

Hu Yong couldn't believe what he saw, but there was one thing he knew, his sister was really saved.

Li Yan looked at the ground, his eyes black water ghosts. He sighed heavily, thinking of asking him something, but now it seemed hopeless.

So, she had to lock up the water ghost first.

She pointed to the willow tree and said, "There should be something there, you go dig and dig it." ”

Xuan Nian immediately picked up a thick branch on the ground and dug it up.

"Are you two alright?"

"It's fine." Chu Yi said.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hu Yong said as he ran.

"Miss Li, was that the one who followed Qianqian just now?" Hu Yong asked.

Liyan thought for a while and said, "No, this water ghost can't leave this river. ”

Hu Yong nervously asked, "Is that thing still here?" ”

Liyan shook his head, "Not anymore, but I think we should be able to find him soon." ”

While a few people were talking, Xuan Nian had already dug something out under the willow tree.

He tore open his clothes, wrapped the thing and took it to Liyan's face.

Li Yan frowned and looked at the palm-sized disc in Xuan Nian's hand, the soil on it had not been cleaned up, but it could be vaguely seen that there was text on it. It's just that it's a kind of writing that Liyan has never seen before. She had read many books, but she had never seen the words on them.

But judging by how much the water ghost attaches importance to this thing, this must not be a good thing.

"What is this?" Chu Yi asked.

"I don't know."

Chu Yi looked at Liyan in surprise, he remembered that Luo Minghe had said that she knew a lot of things. Now, it's strange that there's something she doesn't know.

"So what should we do?"

"Lock it up." There is always nothing wrong with the methods taught by her master.

With that, Li Yan took out a box engraved with runes from the bag on his waist, and there was no lock on the box.

Chu Yi watched her fiddle with the lid of the box for a long time before opening the box.

He didn't see anything next to him from the box, but looking at Liyan's expression, it didn't seem to be like this.

"Is there anything else in the box?" He asked.

"If you don't think there's any, then there's none." Off the beaten track.

Chu Yi looked at Liyan in confusion, and looked at the box again, Liyan had already put the disc into the box.

At the moment when Li Yan closed the box, Chu Yi felt as if he had seen a delicate ruby inside. For a moment, he wanted to snatch the box from Liyan's hand. When the box closes, the feeling is gone.

Looking at him with a smile, Chu Yi looked at his outstretched hands with a blank expression.

"It doesn't matter, when I first saw it, I had a bigger reaction than you."

Chu Yi felt as if he understood something, and he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Let's go back." Li Yan looked up at the sky and asked, "How did the man in this river die?" ”

Hu Yong sighed and said, "His surname is Li, and he is a showman." His father used to be an official, and he heard that he offended a senior official and was dismissed. As soon as I couldn't afford to get sick, I went. He and his mother are left to rely on each other, and they have come to us to join their future father-in-law. How did he know that his mother-in-law disliked him and was just a showman, not even a jinshi. asked him to withdraw from the marriage, and the marriage was also divorced. The family was worried that others would say that they hated the poor and loved the rich, so they spread rumors to smear that Xiucai. Xiucai's mother was already ill because of his father's death, and after listening to those words, she went in a hurry. He went to the yamen to cry out for injustice, but they didn't kill this person, so the yamen didn't accept it. In the winter, he threw himself into the river. I heard that he was not drowned, but frozen to death. ”

Chu Yi's face was full of resentment, he sympathized with that person, but he was not ashamed of what that person did. Keeping his life and continuing to study, waiting until he is successful, and then clearing his father's grievances and finding justice for his mother is what a son of man should do. He really shouldn't have walked away like this.

Liyan only sighed, but did not speak. She's seen too much of this kind of thing.
