Chapter 104: The Secrets of the Li Family (2)
After entering the Li Mansion, the person who came out to entertain the guests was the eldest wife of the Li family, Wan. The eldest wife of the Li family, Wan Shi, had already fallen asleep, but she listened to the movements of the Gu family next door too much, and she didn't fall asleep for a long time, knowing that something must have happened to the Gu family, so she got up and sat in the room to read.
After watching it for a while, I heard a report from the porter, saying that Feng Lao'an and Mrs. Cai from the Gu Mansion next door came over and asked her to come out to meet.
In the small flower hall, Wan had already ordered someone to light the oil lamp, and dozens of oil lamps were lit, and the small flower hall lit up all of a sudden.
After Cai explained his intention to her, Wan said, "You want to go to the bamboo forest behind our house to find someone?" That bamboo forest is the forbidden land of our house, and the lord has set a rule that no one is allowed to approach at will. ”
Hearing Wan say this, they are not allowed to go in to look for someone.
But Gu Yutang and Jiang Zhiming are trapped in it now, where they have neither food nor drink, can they survive for a few days?
The Lin family couldn't care so much, and said on the spot: "Mrs. Li, the rules are dead, and people are alive." Can't we be accommodating and let us go in and find someone? Our family's Sister Tang and Brother Zhiming of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion are trapped inside, and the Zhiming brother is the son of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion, if he dies inside? Can your Li family compensate the Hou Mansion for a son? ”
When the Lin family mentioned the Dingwu Hou Mansion, the expression of the Li family's eldest wife Wan began to hesitate a little, if it was really the prince of the Dingwu Hou Mansion who was really trapped in the bamboo forest, and the prince was trapped and died in the bamboo forest, and the Dingwu Hou Mansion would be held accountable, and their Li family would not be able to escape.
But the green bamboo forest is the forbidden place of their family, if the old man comes back and finds that someone has broken into the forbidden land, blaming her, where will she go to tell others about her wrongs?
Mrs. Li thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Cai, I am not an elder in the family, let you go to the forbidden land to find people, I really can't help it, I can't be the master." My old lady is now meditating in the house, and I have to go and ask her, and after she agrees, I can let you go to the forbidden land, and I don't know if you are willing to go with me to this experience. ”
"As long as we can go to the forbidden land to find people, why not go through this experience?" Lin was worried about Gu Yutang in her heart, afraid that she would be cold and cold in the bamboo forest, and she would starve, so she thought that she could find Gu Yutang quickly so that her heart could be put down.
After a while, the eldest lady of the Li family took the Lin family and the others to the meditation room where the old lady of the Li family was meditating.
The old lady of the Li family believes in Buddhism, claims to be a layman, has been a vegetarian for more than 30 years, originally wanted to go to the Buddhist temple for meditation, as a grandson of the Li family is worried about the grandmother's body, so he did not agree to the old lady of the Li family to move to the Buddhist temple for retreat, and built a small meditation room for her, for her to do meditation.
It's late at night, but there are two maids who look like sisters-in-law guarding outside the meditation room, obviously the maids who keep vigil. Seeing that the eldest wife of the Li family, the Wan family, was leading the Lin family and the others, thinking that something big had happened, she asked, "Big lady, I don't know what is the matter with you bringing these ladies here?" ”
Mrs. Li didn't want to gossip with these little maids, so she picked the key point and said: "The three girls of the Gu family and the son of the Jiang family next door are missing, I heard that they broke into the bamboo forest behind our house, because the bamboo forest is a forbidden place, I don't dare to call the shots, so I came to ask my grandmother." I wonder if my grandmother is asleep?"
"The layman looked at the Gu family next door tonight, and knew that something was happening, so he didn't sleep, and was still waiting for a few ladies and wives to go in." One looked like an older little maid, and the other led the way for the Lin family and the others, and took them into the meditation room where the old lady of the Li family was.
Walking in the promenade, which was already full of illuminated lanterns, apparently waiting for them to come.
Walking and walking, Feng Laoan found that the left side of this corridor was the green bamboo forest, but the bamboo here grew shorter, and there were no tall and straight ones outside.
Seeing Feng Lao'an looking at the bamboo forest next to him, Mrs. Li, who was walking in front, explained: "Those trails were opened up by my grandmother, and on the fifteenth day of every month, my grandmother would go into the bamboo forest to recite the Sutra of Death for three days, saying that it was for our dead aunt. My grandmother is my grandfather's own sister, in fact, we should call my aunt and grandmother, but my mother has been dead for many years, and we are used to calling her grandmother. ”
Feng Lao'an knew that the aunt in Wan's mouth was the third aunt of the Li family that they had mentioned earlier at home. It's just that I don't know, why did the old lady of the Li family recite the Sutra of Death for three days to the third aunt and wife of the Li family on the fifteenth day of the first month, could it be that she really became a powerful ghost as rumored by the outside world?
Feng Lao'an thought about it, only felt creepy, didn't dare to look at the bamboo forest next to him, and accelerated his pace and walked forward.
In the bamboo house, Gu Yutang hadn't slept for long, and he was not woken up by the sound of rats squirming in the house, but was woken up by the bite of wild mosquitoes in the bamboo house.
The wild mosquitoes in the bamboo house are really poisonous, Gu Yutang killed a few in a row, all of them sucked enough blood, God knows how much blood these mosquitoes sucked her?
It's also a shame that Jiang Zhiming can still sleep in this situation, and he is unconscious when he is bitten by mosquitoes, he is really rough and thick! Harazi also shed all over the ground, and I don't know what kind of sweet dream I had.
If she knew that she was going to spend the night here today, she should have eaten two big bowls for breakfast, but now she was so hungry that she couldn't find anything else to eat in the house except for the old bacon that Jiang Zhiming found out for I don't know how many years.
Gu Yutang couldn't bear the hunger in his stomach, so he finally took the bacon, and after using the knife that Jiang Zhiming carried with him, he cut off the black part of the skin of the bacon, and found that the bacon was still edible. The black ones were all peeled off, revealing the red inside, and this red meat should be the legendary ham.
Gu Yutang was worried that this piece of bacon would be crawled over by rats, so he took clean water and cleaned it four or five times before cutting it into pieces and roasting it on the fire. Roasted and roasted, the bacon has begun to flow oil, exuding a faint aroma of meat, Gu Yutang is already drooling just by smelling it, let alone how fragrant it is.
In this kind of place, I can't take care of everyone's beautiful demeanor, Gu Yutang picked up a piece of grilled bacon and stuffed it into his mouth. Who knew that the meat was too hot, and not long after eating it, he spit it out again, and took the water in the scoop and drank it.
Jiang Zhiming, who was still asleep, seemed to smell the smell of meat, and jumped up from the ground all of a sudden. After I got up, I found that I had been stripped of nothing, and what I should have seen and what I shouldn't have seen was now unobstructed. Thankfully, there was no one around, and he wasn't so embarrassed.
Jiang Zhiming didn't want to know that all this must have been done by Gu Yutang's stupid girl, who obviously looked like such a reserved person, but he couldn't imagine that he couldn't control himself in private, and said that he would marry her with three books and six rites. Now that I'm like this, who should marry whom?
Seeing Gu Yutang roasting something by the fire, Jiang Zhiming casually grabbed a piece of clothes that had been dried on the drying rack, and quickly put them on, only then did he dare to walk in front of Gu Yutang, looked at her and said with a smile: "My wife, hide here alone and eat alone?" Do you want your husband to starve to death? ”
Gu Yutang ignored him, still roasting the bacon in his hand, and saw that his two eyes were staring directly at the bacon in his hand, so he replied: "Jiang Zhiming, I saw that you ate a big bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles this morning, and now you want to come and grab food with me, but there is no door!" With that, Gu Yutang turned around and distanced himself from Jiang Zhiming.
