"Haha, let's eat first, come, Brother Qi, I'll toast you first!" I didn't expect this big landlord Zhu to be quite capable, and he thought of the trick of changing the topic.

Qi Tianyang didn't say much, looking at the appearance of the big landlord Zhu, did he plan to release him?

However, this big landlord of Zhu, it should be said that why does this Daoist Liu want to keep us here?

I had no taste for this meal, if the big landlord of Zhu didn't let go, we would probably be very difficult to go out, I couldn't help but tense my emotions until the end of the meal.

After eating, the big landlord Zhu asked Shunzi to send us back to rest, but Qi Tianyang stared at the big landlord Zhu sharply and said: "Master Zhu, we don't belong here, if you force us to stay, the consequences must not be borne by you!" ”

After speaking, he pulled me away, quite a posture of throwing his sleeves away. I looked back at the big landlord Zhu, but saw that he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a little weakness.

Domineering! I secretly gave Qi Tianyang a thumbs up in my heart.

When the four of us returned to the courtyard where we lived, I couldn't help but ask a little anxiously, "Qi Tianyang, if you tear the face of the big landlord of Zhu like this, won't he even more refuse to let us go?" ”

"It's okay, the way out is not with them." Qi Tianyang said affirmatively.

"Where's that?" I asked next, and Poxue and Ji Sun also had curious expressions on their faces.

"Granny Wu, if my guess is correct, this Granny Wu is waiting for us now." Qi Tianyang glanced at me obliquely, as if he was laughing at my incomprehensible breath.

Where can I manage this, the top priority is to get out of this ** first, okay! "Then let's go find Granny Wu." With that, I was going to go out.

But he was dragged back by Qi Tianyang, "It's not dark yet, there are people everywhere, if we go to find her, it will definitely reach the ears of the big landlord Zhu as soon as possible." So, stupid, wait until it gets dark! ”

Well, you have a point!

I stopped arguing with Qi Tianyang, and the four of us sat around the table, quietly waiting for it to get dark.

Finally, at about nine o'clock, it was quiet outside, and we waited patiently for more than an hour, until the entire Zhu Mansion was dark, and then we picked up our backpacks and walked towards Granny Wu's yard.

Sure enough, the light in Granny Wu's room was on, and the dim oil lamp reflected her rickety figure, which was inexplicably sad.

"You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Outside the house, we heard Granny Wu's voice.

We pushed open the door and walked in, the room was ordinary, a table, a stool, a bed. The oil lamp on the table was burning, and Granny Wu was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for us.

"Mother-in-law, can you tell us how to get out?" I asked straight to the point.

"Yes," Granny Wu smiled kindly at me, then looked at Qi Tianyang again, "I can tell you everything you want to know, but I have a request." ”

Qi Tianyang frowned and said, "Yes." ”

"I just want to beg you to save my daughter." Granny Wu's eyes were a little moist.

"Your daughter?" I was surprised.

"Yes, my daughter is the eldest lady of the Zhu Mansion."

I looked at Granny Wu in disbelief, Mrs. Zhu, is it her daughter?

"At the beginning, when I gave birth to Huanniang, the old lady also gave birth to the little young master not long ago, and the two were childhood sweethearts with deep feelings. Later, the old lady found me and said that she wanted to marry Huanniang to the little master, but, as the saying goes, three years old looks old, and the little master grew up with me, and I am clear about his habits......"

It turned out that the eldest lady of the Zhu Mansion, whose name was Huanniang, was a gentle name when she heard it.

"I knew that the little young master was a person who could not be trusted for life, and Huanniang was kind and weak, so I politely refused the old lady's kindness. However, the female eldest couldn't help it, and these two people actually made a private decision for life. Huanniang forced me to die and asked me to agree to her marriage with the little master, and in the end, I compromised......

"But, as I expected, less than five years after the two got married, the little young master married another aunt's wife, Huanniang was sad and sad, I couldn't bear to watch her wash her face with tears all day long, so she applied Gu poison ......" Granny Wu said this, her face was full of remorse.

But my heart is cold, what a bloody plot!

"In this way, the little young master married his aunt and wife room by room, and I dyed countless blood on my hands for the sake of Huanniang. Until, alas, it's all retribution......" Granny Wu said, tears raging.

"Until Huanniang's daughter was born, I knew that it wasn't that I didn't report it, the time hadn't come......" Granny Wu obviously didn't want to mention what kind of retribution they had suffered, I looked at it, that Miss Zhu, isn't it normal?

"From then on, I didn't go to see Huanniang anymore, no matter how she asked, I never left this small courtyard again. Therefore, the eldest lady didn't know that there was a grandmother like me. I just want to wash away my sins, but I spent my whole life waiting for my daughter......"

So the eldest lady has a strange disease? But isn't that because of Daoist Liu's approach? Or is it because Mrs. Zhu did not give birth to a son, so it is considered retribution?

I was puzzled, but I was embarrassed to ask Granny Wu what was going on, for fear of touching her sadness.

"I have blood on my hands, but the retribution has come to my daughter, and she doesn't know that I have harmed those aunts...... My hard-working daughter is trapped in that little attic for a hundred years......"

Granny Wu burst into tears, but I was shocked by her words and broke out in a cold sweat. One hundred years, what does it mean?

"I've been waiting for a hundred years, and I'm finally waiting for you, just hoping that you can help me rescue my daughter's soul and let her be reincarnated. Huanniang is such a kind person! It's a pity that it's not a lady to meet someone! It's all my fault, I've done too much killing!

"I know where you're looking for, and if you can help me, I'll send you a map as a token of appreciation." As she spoke, Granny Wu took out a piece of paper from the placket of her clothes, on which was obviously a map, and much clearer than the barefoot old man's.

"Okay, we can help you." Qi Tianyang pondered for a long time and replied.

"Thank you! Thank you! Granny Wu smiled, tears of joy on her face. Her hands trembled, and she took out a few peach charms, "This, can help you get out." ”

I stretched out my hand to take it, and the four peach charms were distributed to Ji Sun, Po Xue and Qi Tianyang had one each, and I kept one for myself.

"Take this peach talisman and walk the way you came, and you will be able to go out." Granny Wu smiled, her face full of joy, and, relief, "Okay, it's time for you to leave too." ”

"Mother-in-law, ...... you," I asked subconsciously.

Granny Wu had a kind smile on her face again, and I heard her say, "Silly boy, you are as kind as my Huanniang." ”

After saying that, I actually saw Granny Wu's body, disappearing little by little.

……

Walking out of Granny Wu's room, I couldn't help but hold Qi Tianyang and asked a little irritably, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"This is an illusion condensed by Granny Wu." Qi Tianyang touched my head.

"Vision?" Oh my God, it's amazing," So, this Granny Wu and the people in this village have been dead for a hundred years? ”

"That's right, this is the scene of a hundred years ago, Granny Wu used her mental power to restore the scene of a hundred years ago, we just happened to step into this illusion."

"You already knew that, didn't you?" I suddenly froze, remembering that because the landlord of Zhu refused to let me go, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but this bastard had a calm face, he must have known it a long time ago!

"No, this Granny Wu's skills are very deep, and I didn't find out that it was an illusion at first, until I saw Granny Wu herself, I didn't realize it." Qi Tianyang looked at me with an expression of 'you're not stupid', "I wasn't sure until later, when Granny Wu finished telling her story." ”

"But what happened to Granny Wu's daughter and granddaughter?" I struggled and finally asked.

"Stupid, do you think I'm omnipotent? She didn't say, how do I know! Qi Tianyang showed his indebted smile again.

"She didn't say who killed her daughter." I muttered, I'm curious, okay, like a cat scratch, I want to know the answer.

"What do you think?" Qi Tianyang said with a smile.

"Of course it's the third aunt's wife, the story is very likely to be like this." My brain is open, brewing a bloody plot,

"I think back then, this third aunt's wife was still an innocent and ignorant girl, and her beloved sister married into Zhufu as an aunt's wife, but within a few years, the news of her sister's death came out. The girl's heart was devastated, and she never believed that her sister, who had always been healthy, would die, so she embarked on the road of pursuing the truth! Later, she found out that all the aunts and wives who married into the Zhu Mansion died unexpectedly, so she felt that the eldest lady must have done it, so she launched a series of revenge against the kind eldest lady......"

As I spoke, I suddenly remembered, "No, how can the second aunt explain it?" ”

"The second aunt's wife only entered the door after Granny Wu broke off contact with the eldest lady." Qi Tianyang helped me explain.

"Eun." I nodded, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I could solve the case!

"However, there are still many things that I can't figure out, why are there no girls in the village? What happened to Miss Zhu? ”

"Don't worry, this, maybe after meeting Mrs. Zhu, there will be an answer." Qi Tianyang said, leading me forward.

After meeting Mrs. Zhu? Why does this sound so weird? Isn't Mrs. Zhu dead, only her soul is left, can she still solve our doubts?

Before we knew it, we came to the entrance of the village, where we met Grandma Liu.
