Chapter 26: Xie Yu's Story 4
"That kid is Xie Yu!"
The scholar asked Wen Qingdao, "Miss Wen! I don't know how you feel after listening to Xie Yu's story? ”
Wen Qing smiled, "When I was a child, the old people used to tell me a lot of various stories, ever-changing stories, but there is one thing that the core will not change! That's the story, and if it's called a story, it's mostly untrue! ”
"And, I noticed, the adults haven't gotten to the point yet! The adult story is not over yet! Although the story told by the adults is evil, it does not make me feel that I am afraid of staying in Yizhuang! ”
The scholar changed his sitting posture and said, "I have to admit that Miss Wen is really a smart person, I am curious, how could a smart person like you deign to be in a ghost place like Yihong Courtyard for so many years?" ”
Wen Qing didn't know how to answer for a while, she couldn't say that she came from the future world and traveled over!
She thought for a moment and said, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and I was sold to Yihong Courtyard since I was a child!" ”
The scholar let out an "oh" and wanted to say more.
Wen Qing interrupted him and said, "My lord, go on!" ”
Her curiosity is really hooked now, what kind of story is it? Would make the scholar say something like that.
I don't know if she dares to continue to live in Yizhuang after listening to the story he told?
The scholar continued, "I just talked about the well-known version of the story, now let's talk about the thief's perspective, the true version of the story!" ”
"The thief is still the thief, and that night, he entered not Xie Yu's room, but a maid's room!"
"According to the thief, he saw a terrible scene in the maid's room that day!"
"He had just slipped into the maid's room, and before he could rummage through the cabinets, he heard a sound of the door opening from outside, and then the door was pushed open from the outside, and in the moonlight, he saw a little boy come in!"
He hurriedly hid in the cupboard, and when he closed the cupboard, he left a gap, and when he looked out through the gap, he saw that the child was actually holding a knife in his hand, and the child's face was pale! The thin body is wearing a white pajamas, and the hair is messy, as if he has just woken up! ”
"But this is not the most surprising thing for him, the most surprising thing is that the child's eyes are actually closed!!"
"The thief wondered, how could he see the way with his eyes closed?"
The kid walked in without any obstacles, and the thief was extremely curious, what did he want to do? Did you find him? Want to get a knife to clean him up? ”
"Even though he was just a child, the thief was a little panicked! That kid looks horrible! ”
"The child walked straight over and stood in front of the closet for a while, and the thief broke out in a cold sweat!"
"But just when the thief thought the child was going to open the closet, he turned and left!"
The thief breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the child walking in the direction of the bed!
"This is the room where the maid lives, the room is not big, the thief is hiding in the cabinet, the gap can clearly see the door, and you can also see the side of the bed, but you can only see half of it, the other half, in the blind corner of the sight!"
He saw the child standing beside the bed for a moment, then bent over, and he could only see half of it, and the child seemed to raise his hand! And then it fell hard! Raise your hand again, fall again..."
Although the thief could not see it, he had a faint bad premonition, because he smelled a strong smell of blood! The smell of blood soon filled the room! ”
The thief emboldened himself and gently pushed the crack a little more open! Push it all the way to the size of the whole bed! But he only glanced at it, and then locked the cabinet in horror! ”
He saw that the child was standing by the bed, and he was no longer moving! As he moved the gap away, the child slowly turned around, his body and face were covered with blood, and his whole body was like being fished out of a pool of blood! ”
"The child glanced at the thief, but in fact he didn't really look at the thief, because his eyes were still closed!"
However, as if he had really seen the thief, he grinned and smiled at the thief, the white teeth formed a strong contrast with the bright red blood on his face, it was a mouthful of white teeth with a "gloomy" aura! ”
Footsteps came towards the closet, and then the closet door slammed open!"
"The cunning moonlight shines in! The boy stood in front of the thief covered in blood, and in one of his hands he carried the knife that was still dripping with blood! ”
He grinned, closed his eyes, and asked the thief, "Do you eat watermelon?"
The thief looked into his arms, and where was the watermelon in his arms? It's a bloody head! ”
"The thief's stomach churned and he began to retch violently!"
"He jumped out of the closet and ran away!"
Behind him, the child raised his head, and the thief did not dare to look back, but he could still imagine that at this moment, the child must be facing him, with his eyes closed, grinning, and laughing silently!"
"Why don't you eat it? Don't you like watermelon? ”
"The thief came back very ill, and he told his thieves what he had seen in his room that night!"
"He thought that no one believed him, but when he said it, it resonated with several people!"
"One of the thieves said that he had seen the child himself, and that he had been hiding on the roof for a long time, looking for an opportunity to sneak into the room! Then in the middle of the night, I saw the child, the child was wandering in Xie's house, his hair was messy, he was wearing a white pajamas, and the family members let him wander around as if they didn't see him! He thought it was strange at the time, but he didn't think much of it! ”
The other thief also said that he had seen the child, and that night he had seen the child with an iron rod chasing a maid from the inside of the room to the outside, and that the maid was disheveled, and that she had only one shoe on her feet in a hurry! The other is barefoot! ”
He was chased by the child, his face was full of horror, the thief thought it was very strange, and it didn't look like he was playing at home in the middle of the night! On several occasions, the child caught up with her and hit her a few times! ”
"However, the maid was in pain, but she just gritted her teeth, didn't say a word, and didn't scream!"
"That kid is Xie Yu!"
"Soon after, such a rumor began to appear in the market!"
"It is said that the youngest son of the Xie family has a strange disease, and the third watch will get up from bed in the middle of the night and do all kinds of incredible things, including, killing people! However, when he woke up the next day, he was like no one else, and he didn't remember what happened the night before! ”
But this version didn't last long, and it wasn't long before the thieves who spread the story died! As for how he died, no one knows! ”
"Then another version circulated in Luoyang City, that is, the version of Hua Xiface, an old beggar with a broken leg and a palm told that tragic story on the street, and soon spread throughout Luoyang City!"
And the Xie family is noncommittal about this story about their little son, which makes this story even more confusing! And the real thief version, on the contrary, few people know about it! ”
"And I'm one of the very few people who know that thief's version!"
"Miss Wen, let me ask, after you heard this story, aren't you afraid, in the middle of the night, Xie Chengzuo suddenly came to your bedside with a knife and cut watermelon?"
Wen Qing gasped! This, how could she not be afraid?
In ancient times there was no such word! They also don't know what happened to Xie Yu at all!
But what the scholar said is right! Strange disease! It's really a weird disease!
Even in modern times, there is no cure for this disease!
That's sleepwalking! Xie Yu actually has a serious sleepwalking disorder!
Sleepwalking is the strange phenomenon of getting out of bed on your own during sleep and then returning to bed to continue sleeping! People with sleepwalking disorder will walk around familiar places in a half-awake state and even make some dangerous movements!
She had a classmate, and her brother had sleepwalking and woke up one night and broke her hand!
There was even news in the United States that there was a high school student in a family who was suffering from severe sleepwalking, and one night, he got up and somehow found the shotgun that his father usually used to hunt, and he shot his whole family! Then he went back to sleep, and when he woke up, he had no memory of what he had done last night, and finally called the police to say that his family had been robbed and had killed all of them! As everyone knows, he himself is the "robber"!
Wen Qing said, "The Xie family is protecting Xie Yu!" ”
The scholar asked, "What?" ”
"The old beggar with a broken leg and a palm was invited by the Xie family, and the story of the flower face was also made up by the Xie family! The purpose is to protect Xie Yu! Let the outside world turn their attention to that story that is both evil and illusory! ”
The scholar stroked his palms and said, "Miss Wen is really a smart person, she can see the problem at a glance!" ”
Wen Qing shook her head! She only now understands that the reason why Xie Yu went to Yizhuang to be a servant was because she heard Chu Yun say that it was because he liked this business, so he went to be a worker! In ancient times, it was a profession only for the inferior! The son of a big family said that he likes this business, but he really can't say it's okay!
But it wasn't until she moved into Yizhuang that she felt that it wasn't, he was more interested in Zhu Laoba's "Gu Worm Technique"! Zhu Laoba is a servant, so he also goes to be a servant, so that he can learn things from Zhu Laoba justifiably!
But now, she thinks it's neither! The reason why Xie Yu went to Yizhuang to work as a servant was that he already knew that he was suffering from sleepwalking and could not continue to live at home! He's going to stay away from his family! This is out of a kind of protection for the family, Yizhuang, there is no one nearby! Exactly in line with this situation!
The second is, Zhu Laoba, there is medicine to help him treat sleepwalking! There is no cure, but it can make him sleep soundly every night and sleep until dawn! As long as he doesn't get up in the middle of the night, nothing happens!
This is the reason why Xie Yu really went to Yizhuang to be a servant!
And Zhu Laoba's methods, Wen Qing has tried it personally!
"Miss Wen, do you dare to continue to live in Yizhuang in the future?"
Wen Qing came back to her senses, with Zhu Laoba, she was not afraid!
She said, "My lord, life and death are fateful, the king of Hades told you to die on the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch?" When your life comes, you will hide at home, and poisonous insects and poisonous ants will bite you, and your life will not be over, even if ten thousand arrows are fired at you, you will be unscathed! ”
The scholar stood up, stretched his waist, and gave Wen Qing a thumbs up, "Miss Wen is not only smart but also courageous!" I really admire this official! All right! The story is over, but I realize that I told it in vain! Boring! ”
Seeing that the scholar was leaving, Wen Qing hurriedly stopped him and asked, "My lord!" How long do I have to be locked up? ”
The scholar smiled at her and said, "Miss Wen is a smart person!" Nature knows when you can go out! ”
