Chapter 160 The old courtyard has a lot of past
She thought for a moment, and thought that Jiang Xue was the only one in the room now, so she pushed the door and walked in.
Jiang Xuezheng looked at the oil lamp on the table with a gloomy expression, and was quite surprised to see Su Qi coming late at night, so she hurriedly got up, "Why is Miss Su here?" ”
"The threshold of Jiangfu is high, and I can't enter during the day, so I have to come at night to be a gentleman on the beam." Su Qi laughed at himself.
Jiang Xue invited her to sit down and poured her tea, Su Qi was keenly aware that Jiang Xue was a little defensive against her, but pretended not to know: "Miss Jiang was frightened yesterday, but now she is better?" ”
Jiang Xue lowered her eyes and said, "It's not a big deal. ”
Su Qi simply went straight to the topic: "Yesterday's gale, others don't know, but I really see it, it's the monster's trick, it wants to take you away, right?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xue glanced at Su Qi in fear, and then lowered her eyes and said sadly: "You shouldn't have saved me yesterday, let him take me away for a hundred, it's better than innocent people being affected." ”
Her self-defeating attitude made Su Qi's heart burn, and she frowned and said, "What did Miss Jiang say!" You are also the pearl of your parents' palms, if you are taken away by monsters like this, how sad will your father and mother be? How are you going to let them live well in the future?! ”
Her words seemed to poke Jiang Xue's heart every word, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Su Qi saw that she was touched, and hurriedly pursued her: "Now Miss Jiang is willing to tell me, what kind of demon is it that is pestering you?" You have a high background in the future, so I can help you! ”
She thought that she was moved by emotion, and after Jiang Xue lowered her head and wiped a few tears, she put on a resolute attitude: "Miss Su, I really can't say it." ”
Hey you...... Su Qi suddenly felt that he was very peacock and self-inflicted, pointing at Jiang Xue, who was not in the oil and salt, trembled, and felt that he really had nothing to say, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
"Miss Su," Jiang Xue mourned behind her, "It's not that I can't trust you, it's just that ...... I have been trapped in it and can't turn back, I really don't want to implicate more innocent people, I hope you Haihan. ”
Su Qi sighed, took out two beeswax pills from his purse and put them on the table: "This is Su He Xiangyuan, taking one pill a day can prevent the demonic qi from penetrating into the body, but it is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, Miss Jiang can do it herself." ”
Su Qi felt that he had taken great pains tonight, and there was no sense of accomplishment at all, and he even jumped off the courtyard wall with a little frustration and no chic.
"This Miss Jiang is sick, right?!" Huang Siniang chattered all the way and walked out directly through the wall, "Obviously I am in deep danger, but I don't want someone to hand me a life-saving straw!" She shook her head and sighed, "It's a fool to be so young, it's really ...... Yes! ”
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly screamed, Su Qi turned around when she heard the news, but saw a black gas condensed, like a sharp arrow, passing through Huang Siniang's illusory body, although it couldn't hurt the female ghost, but it must not feel good.
However, this black demonic aura was very familiar, and Su Qi immediately shouted: "Demon! Where to run! And he chased after him.
The black qi passed through Huang Siniang, condensed and formed again, turning into a huge black wing, and swooped towards Su Qi like a bat in the dark night!
Fortunately, Su Qi had already prepared to explore the Jiang Mansion at night, and pulled out his jade sword to stab at the black bat. The demon had seen the power of this ancient artifact, and let out a terrible roar in mid-air, turning around and fleeing into the distance.
It was easy to catch the demon, Su Qi was willing to let it escape easily, and chased after it with a wild run.
The demon wanted to get rid of Su Qi, bypassed many secluded streets and alleys, and suddenly disappeared after turning a corner.
Su Qi stopped in front of a mottled door, his hands on his knees and his head bowed and gasped, and Huang Siniang followed behind him in a panic: "What about the demon?" ”
"Lost it!"
"It's a pity that the old lady still wants to seek revenge on him!" Huang Siniang rolled up her sleeves thoughtfully, "Don't let the old lady bump into him next time, otherwise he will look good!" "......She flew higher and looked at the mottled gate," she said, "what is this place?" Such a heavy yin qi! ”
After she mentioned it, Su Qi raised her eyes and glanced at the gate twice, and saw that the black paint on the wooden door was mottled and peeled off, densely covered with green moss and spider webs, which was obviously a long-abandoned courtyard.
Su Qi stretched out his hand and pushed the gate, and saw that it was locked by a rusty brass lock, so he took a few detours, held his breath, and climbed the courtyard wall in three or two.
"What?" Huang Siniang was puzzled, "You're not a ghost, why are you interested in yin?" ”
Su Qi glanced at her: "There is not only yin qi in this courtyard, but also demon qi!" ”
"You mean, the demon is hiding in this courtyard?"
"Nine times out of ten." Su Qi jumped down from the courtyard wall, stepped on a pile of soft dead branches and leaves, made a soft "creaking" sound, and raised a cloud of dust.
She was so provoked by the dust that she sneezed twice in a row, which was particularly piercing in the silence of the night, and startled a few crows in the trees, and a few wild cats and rats in the yard rushed by, and there was a panic of chickens and dogs.
"It seems that no one has been here in this yard for a long time." Su Qi held the jade sword in his palm and walked towards the center of the courtyard step by step.
This courtyard is huge, pavilions, ponds and water pavilions are readily available, it should have been a big family back then, but now it is a charred black ruins, every step can bring up a scorched mold atmosphere, but also a faint bloody smell.
"This yard should have been caught in a fire." Su Qi said to Huang Siniang, who was following her.
"I have burned a lot of people to death...... Huang Siniang tangle the hem of her clothes and look around timidly, "Otherwise, why is there such a heavy yin qi, I don't know how many ghosts and evil spirits are hidden, and even ghosts are afraid of ......"
Su Qi glanced at her helplessly: "Are you a female ghost still afraid of ghosts?" ”
"People are still afraid of the wicked, and ghosts are naturally afraid of evil ghosts." Huang Siniang retorted unwillingly, "Especially a female ghost like me, in case I meet a pervert...... Oops, the consequences are unimaginable! ”
"What's so unthinkable? It's a big deal that Lang Qing and Concubine are willing to marry a secret marriage, I just sent you to cross the Nai He Bridge to reincarnate together! ”
"That's right!" Huang Siniang's eyes lit up, and she immediately remembered her current position, and waved her hand again and again, "No, no, I am now a person with a father-in-law, and I just want to guard him for a hundred years, and walk together on Huangquan Road." Floated in front of Su Qi again, and said flatteringly, "Hey, you have to be free to mention my father-in-law, everyone in the world is hard, the world is not worth it, let him die early and be reincarnated!" ”
Su Qi couldn't cry or laugh, and felt sorry for the innocent Mu Wuye.
As he spoke, a man and a ghost entered the second courtyard through a blackened and mottled stone corridor, and the burned vine trellis in the courtyard could be vaguely seen, and there was a swing with a broken rope underneath.
It seems to be a place where the family lives. Su Qi felt something on the soles of his feet, and bent down to pick it up, it was a half-charred piece of wood, but the shape was like a green dragon glaive knife.
She was holding the wooden knife up to the moonlight and planning to study it carefully, when she suddenly heard Huang Siniang shouting, "You are in your waist!" What's glowing? ”
Su Qi's heart froze, thinking that it was Xuanniao Jade who sensed the evil thing, but when he looked down, he was not.
Suspiciously, she put her hand into her purse and felt out the thing that glowed white, which turned out to be the Bodhi seed that Zhang Pu left for her.
She held the Bodhi Seed in her palm, feeling it flickering and disappearing, as if conveying some kind of urgent emotion, and suddenly, the light of the Bodhi Seed suddenly increased, like a bright light, allowing Su Qi to see the scene in front of him in an instant.
It was a burnt bedroom, most of the doors and windows were burned out, and the only thing that remained was hanging crookedly, and the cracked corners of the walls were crawling with moss, and it was desolate.
But in the white light of Bodhizi, she saw the elegant and neat appearance of this room.
There is a laurel tree in front of the court, a few orchids under the window, and in the half-open window lattice, the lilac purple gauze curtain swayed slightly in the wind, and the small silver bells on the corner of the curtain made a pleasant sound of jingling bells.
The former hostess of this house must be a beautiful lady with a blue heart, Su Qi thought secretly.
As the silver bell flicked, there was a child's crisp "giggle" laughter in the room, and the laughter drifted from the window all the way to the door, and a little girl of five or six years old ran out of the door.
Obviously a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, dressed as a boy, wearing a water-blue light gauze practice uniform, with a white wide cloth belt to tie her waist high, outlining a narrow and straight body, like a small willow tree growing towards the sun in spring.
She wore blue embroidered soft satin practice shoes, and a pair of small feet stepped out of the door to run away. A bright goose-yellow sweat towel was tied around her belt, which swayed with her undulating figure, as if adding a delicate tail.
Listening to behind her, an anxious voice came from the door of the house: "Grandma, don't run so fast!" Carefully stumbled and stumbled! ”
The girl replied as she ran: "The eldest brother told me to perform the martial arts field at three o'clock at the hour, and I will be dealt with by military law if it is late!" ”
A middle-aged and beautiful woman appeared at the door of the house, and said with a gentle smile: "That's the eldest young master who has nothing to do to tease you, how can you take it seriously?" ”
The girl turned her head, and her childish face was serious: "The military order is like a mountain!" How can it be child's play?! Oh, I won't tell you, I have to get out of here! ”
The middle-aged woman hurriedly chased out: "I'm going to tie my hair and leave!" Fourth sister! ”
The girl sprinkled a string of silver bell-like laughter as she ran, and the melted green silk behind her head fluttered and drifted away.
Su Qi was left alone, and he was so shocked by the sound of "Fourth Sister" that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
If that girl is the fourth sister, isn't the middle-aged woman a handful?
She blinked, and suddenly figured it out: I'm afraid that this long-abandoned courtyard is the family where Ah Luo worked when she was a nurse. Bodhi Zi has been in Ah Luo's body for many years, leaving some memories of Ah Luo, and now that he has revisited the old place, he will naturally reflect Ah Luo's memory.
Looking at the figure that was gradually blurred, Su Qi suddenly felt a little sour in the corners of his eyes.
Such an innocent girl, such a gentle and virtuous Ah Luo, once lived quietly in this deep courtyard, and the clinker was unkind and caused a disaster, which instantly destroyed everything they cherished, and took away their fresh lives.
