Chapter Twenty-Nine: Within the Zhu Mansion

The female ghost still lowered her head and didn't say a word, Xiao Laodao looked a little out of shape at this time, and turned her head to greet my grandfather, "Brother Liu, come over quickly." ”

My grandfather hurriedly returned to Xiao Laodao with the little ghost monkey, Xiao Laodao looked up at the tall courtyard wall, and asked my grandfather: "Brother, look at this high-walled compound, can you climb up?" ”

My grandfather looked up, and the courtyard wall was only about one zhang at most, three feet one meter, nine feet one zhang, which is equivalent to about three meters now, my grandfather nodded and said, "It's not difficult to turn it up." ”

Xiao Laodao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good, you climb the wall now, I'll do another ritual below, and you can see what the female ghost is up there to see, it's my magic that doesn't work, or is there something in their house to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Okay." My grandfather didn't say a word, looked at the courtyard wall again, took a few steps back, followed closely, and quickly rushed towards the courtyard wall.

Xiao Laodao felt a flower in front of him, and then looked at my grandfather, two arms were already on the wall, followed by a one-legged horse pose, and easily straddled the wall, as long as the body turned over again, it could form a coherent action and turn into the courtyard in one go, however, my grandfather did not turn into the courtyard again, but quickly put his body on the wall, and then said to Xiao Laodao in a low voice: "There are night guards in their courtyard, five or six people. ”

Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then muttered, "This surnamed Zhu, how can the family be like a county prison." Xiao Laodao immediately instructed my grandfather, "You be careful, don't let them find out." ”

My grandfather replied, "It's okay, they only patrol around a big house, and they don't come to us." ”

"That's good." Xiao Laodao said: "I guess...... That big house is where the surname Zhu lives, and if you look at it from above, I'll do it again. Saying that, Xiao Laodao seemed to think of something, looked at the master on the wall, and said: "Brother, please plug your ears first, just show you the Fa, the mantra must not be heard to you again, otherwise it will not only be bad for you, but also cause the Fa to be ineffective." ”

There are some rituals in our family, but they can't be seen, otherwise the rituals will not work, and of course my grandfather understands this, so he not only plugged his ears, but also closed his eyes.

After a while, my grandfather estimated that the time was almost up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the female ghost outside the wall was gone, and he turned his head to look into the courtyard again, and the female ghost was walking towards the big house. The few people who were patrolling around the house obviously couldn't see the female ghost, and the female ghost floated past their eyes, and they were also at a loss.

Soon, the female ghost walked to the door of the big house, my grandfather saw her hesitate for a moment, followed, raised her feet and drilled into the house, "swoop" ground, the female ghost got into the house, my grandfather saw this, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the female ghost quickly retreated backwards and retreated, as if there was something inside that pushed her out, obviously very embarrassed.

The female ghost seemed to be unwilling, and got into the house again, but soon retreated again, my grandfather saw what was going on, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Laodao outside the wall, and saw Xiao Laodao sitting there cross-legged at this time, his eyes slightly closed, his hands together together, his index finger and middle finger standing opposite each other, his ring finger and little thumb crossed into fists, his hands standing on his lips, and his lips squirming rapidly, as if he was urging the female ghost in the courtyard with a spell.

My grandfather turned his head to look at the female ghost again, stiffened and went into the house again, but soon retreated again.

One in and one out, after repeating it a few times, Xiao Laodao outside the wall said "um" fiercely, as if he had been hit hard, and then the whole person relaxed, and then looked at the female ghost in the courtyard, her body shook, and she immediately turned around and came back.

My grandfather asked Xiao Lao Dao on the wall: "Brother Xiao, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather weakly, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and asked instead of answering: "Brother, what do you see?" ”

My grandfather replied, "There seems to be something in the house, and after the female ghost entered, she retreated and withdrew. ”

At this time, the female ghost passed through the courtyard wall and returned to Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao looked at her and said, "It seems that there are really evil spirits in that house, and these ghosts can't get in, and even I almost fell into the way." ”

My grandfather asked, "Then what should we do now, otherwise, I'll jump in and give the guy surnamed Zhu a clean and happy!" ”

Xiao Laodao hurriedly stopped, "Brother can't, there is a debtor who is wronged, whose enemy is the best to repay with his own hands, besides, there is a night patrol outside the house, how can you get in, in case the movement is too big, we will suffer in the end." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao stood up from the ground with the help of the courtyard wall, and beckoned to my grandfather, "Brother, you come down first, and our brothers will sum up and think about it in the long run." ”

My grandfather was helpless, and he turned over and was about to get off the wall, but when he turned halfway over, he quickly stopped, and his eyes looked straight into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao hurriedly asked below, "What's the matter, brother?" ”

After a while, my grandfather bowed his head and replied, "I saw the cripple, and he and another man took out a large pocket from a small house, and I saw that the bag seemed to contain a person. ”

"People?" Xiao Laodao looked a little surprised, "Could it be that this surnamed Zhu is still seeking money and killing people?" Xiao Laodao then asked, "Where do they want to carry their pockets?" ”

My grandfather replied: "It seems that it is going to be carried outside the Zhu Mansion, but it is sneaky and doesn't seem to want people to know." ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he hurriedly greeted my grandfather, "Come down, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

My grandfather turned over and came down from the wall, Xiao Laodao bent down and picked up the skull, and the two of them carefully walked around the courtyard wall and came towards the gate of Zhufu.

When they came to the door, they had just hidden their bodies in the dark, when they saw the door "squeak" open a crack, and the cripple squeezed out of it sideways, and then nodded at the door and said, "Steward Zhu, what I just told you, can you let the Hu family know, otherwise, they can really peel off my skin." ”

A voice in the crack of the door replied tepidly: "Don't worry, I won't tell them, go and call them over, this matter is done, the master has a reward!" ”

"Eh, let's go, I'll go......" The cripple slave agreed, turned around and left the Zhu Mansion, and walked towards the center of the town. The door of the Zhu Mansion "plopped" and closed again.

In the dark, Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather suspiciously, and asked, "Brother, didn't you say that the cripple is carrying a big bag, why is there nothing?" ”

My grandfather was also full of doubts at this time, and said, "I obviously saw him and another person carrying a big bag, will it ...... The pockets were not to be carried out of the house, but they were carried elsewhere. ”

Xiao Laodao didn't say anything, and after a while, Xiao Laodao sighed and said: "Let's not talk about the pocket, I feel that today's matter, why is it so wrong, even if there are evil objects in the room surnamed Zhu, why are there night patrols outside the room, and there are cripple people outside the house, who are also patrolling the night, is it possible...... The surname Zhu knows that we are coming tonight? ”

My grandfather said: "I'm afraid it's impossible, let's come over tonight, only a few of us know, how can the surname Zhu know." ”

"In this world, there is nothing impossible...... Xiao Laodao said thoughtfully: "The three brothers of the Hu family just now, I listened to their tone, they only came to patrol the night tonight, if the surname Zhu didn't hear any trouble, how could he do this?" ”

My grandfather smiled faintly when he heard this, and said, "Brother Xiao, let's stop guessing here, just grab that cripple and ask." With that, my grandfather walked out of the shadows, and behind him, Xiao Laodao told him, "Be careful." ”

In the south of the center of their town, there is a tavern, Xiao Laodao bought the wine and meat there before, when they passed by the tavern this time, it was pitch black inside, and it should have been turned off and closed, of course, for those ruffians and hooligans, when the tavern was not closed.

The cripple didn't walk fast, and before he reached the center of the town, he was caught up from behind by my grandfather, raised his hand, and the grandfather patted the cripple lightly on the shoulder, and the cripple suddenly became agitated, stopped, and didn't even look back, and asked in a trembling voice: "No...... Won't it be a good grandfather again? ”

"Yes, it's me again!"

When the cripple heard this, he almost didn't kneel on the ground, turned his body to my grandfather with a bitter face, and arched his hands, "Grandpa Haohan spares his life, Grandpa Haohan spares his life......"

My grandfather waved his hand in annoyance, "Okay, if I want to kill you, do I have to wait until now!" ”

When the cripple heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said flatteringly: "Thank you Grandpa Hao Han for sparing your life, thank you Grandpa Hao Han for sparing your life...... " The cripple was stunned for a moment, seemed to realize something, and asked cautiously: "Who is Grandpa Haohan...... Is there something you want to ask me? ”

"Not bad." My grandfather said bluntly: "Let me ask you, have you just come out of the mansion surnamed Zhu?" ”

"Yes, yes......" The cripple nodded hurriedly, "Master Zhu ...... today." No, the surname Zhu doesn't know what's going on today, just after dinner, the housekeeper in his house called the three brothers of the Hu family to go over, and the three brothers called me too, after we arrived at the Zhu Mansion, the housekeeper didn't let us in, gave the three brothers of the Hu family a few taels of silver, and let them patrol the night outside the Zhu Mansion, saying that it was ...... If you see a person dressed as a Taoist priest and a person dressed as a scholar, you will ...... "Speaking of this, the cripple stopped, his eyes looked at my grandfather a few times, his face changed suddenly, and then he knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Grandpa spares his life, grandpa spares his life, grandpa spares his life......
