Chapter 120: Gossip
Although I only spoke with Xu Yaru on the phone, I remember her voice very clearly.
Hearing it at this moment, I couldn't help but turn my head and saw her standing at the door in red clothes.
I obviously took the Soul Scattering Pill, why did she still see me, and if it was her at the door, who was the bride sitting inside?
I turned around again, looked inside, and found that the bride also turned her head, and it turned out to be Sister Xuanji.
I was stunned, and Senior Sister Xuanji was also stunned, and immediately reacted, then walked to the door, looked outside the door and asked, "Why did you follow up?" You're not dead, are you? ”
I thought to myself that Senior Sister Xuanji had sacrificed so much for me, although I couldn't fully trust her, but there was no need to hide it from her now, so I told her how the Soul Leaving Technique had come in.
After hearing this, she sneered and said, "My good brother has finally begun to grow up." ”
I wanted to ask how they got in, but Senior Sister Xuanji didn't answer, just said that Xu Yaru was rescued by them by the way, and asked me to take advantage of Su Xuanke's not coming back, let me go back quickly, and not expose me.
I wanted to go back, but now that there seemed to be a problem with the Soul Scattering Pill, I hurriedly asked why I had taken it, and how Xu Yaru could still find me.
Senior Sister Xuanji explained: "Because the elixir is refined by the furnace fire, the effect of the medicine will be reduced by a few points when it encounters water. Remember, I can only take the initiative to contact you in the future, and you must not take the initiative to find me. ”
At this time, Xu Yaru next to her had already heard my voice, and learned from our conversation that I was here to save her.
She didn't speak, but she burst into tears.
Senior Sister Xuanji urged me to leave quickly, and as soon as I walked to the door, Sister Xu Yaru suddenly reached out to hug me, said thank you, and then let go of me.
I just smiled and left my new house.
I have already speculated that Senior Sister Xuanji took the initiative to drop the bag with Xu Yaru, probably just to get close to this Steward Zhang, and listening to this title, Steward Zhang should have a close relationship with the so-called master mentioned by the aunt.
It's just that Senior Sister Xuanji was afraid that I would be exposed and asked me to leave, how dare I really leave.
Senior Sister Xuanji seems to be enthusiastic, but from past experiences, I have already found that in fact, she is extremely cold in her heart, she said that she would save Xu Yaru, but if it really affected the plan, she would give up Xu Yaru mercilessly.
Everything I said was just a pretext for me to leave early.
And I haven't asked yet, who is the watcher, is it Su Xuanke?
Thinking of Su Xuanke, I don't know where he went at this moment.
I didn't dare to leave, because I might be the last hope to save Sister Xu Yaru, although she didn't say anything just now, but I felt the hope of leaving here from her eyes, I couldn't give up on her, let alone the Dao heart in my heart.
Just as I was thinking, a person came up to me, or a water ghost.
I wanted to hide, but he had already discovered it, he came over, looked at me and said, "You are all preparing for the wedding banquet, why did you come to the third floor, and you are not afraid of Steward Zhang's blame?" ”
I nodded in response, but he just urged me to hurry down and help, and then walked to the fourth floor.
It seems that this water ghost, who really thought that I was too, didn't find any clues about me at all.
Since Senior Sister Xuanji has no internal strength, she dares to drop her bag and go deep into the tiger's den, why can't I pretend to be someone here?
Thinking of this, the curiosity in my heart can no longer be suppressed.
The myriad puzzles here fascinate me and make me explore.
I walked to the bottom of the tulou and saw that the aunt and the fat aunt were still chatting, looking at the thread in the basket next to me, it was estimated that the hydrangea would not be finished for a while. For each hydrangea that is braided, a small white glowing fish is placed in the middle. At this time, I realized that all the lamps and wicks here are all small fish that glow with all kinds of light, because the fish glow in different colors, and the lights also show different colors.
I just heard that the fat aunt said that the aunt is very familiar with Steward Zhang, and this bride was rewarded to Steward Zhang by their master, so as long as you get close to the aunt, you can inquire about Steward Zhang's experience, and then you can speculate that the owner here is not the landlord who was buried in the water before.
I'm a soul now, anyway, and when I was found just now, the water ghost couldn't see anything unusual at all.
I took the initiative to approach my aunt.
I walked over and squatted next to my aunt to help her with the strings of the balls. The aunt looked at me in surprise, then looked at the fat aunt and asked, "Whose child is this, why haven't I seen it?" ”
The fat aunt also shook her head, and I hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm new here, they arranged for me to help just now, after all, tonight is a happy event for Steward Zhang." ”
The aunt looked at me carefully, then approached me and sniffed it, and smiled at the fat aunt: "This child is newly dead, and there is a faint human smell on his body." ”
Then my aunt asked me about my background and how I died.
I made up nonsense, and I also knew a lot of people in Qingtan Town, knowing that the surname Zhang here was a big surname, so he said that his name was Zhang Dehao, and he drowned on a bicycle on a rainy day.
The aunt was a little suspicious and said: "There were drowning a while ago, but I haven't heard of anyone drowning recently, and I haven't seen anyone in Qingtan Town holding a funeral." ”
I hurriedly covered it up and said, "My body has not been found in the world, but it has been reported missing." But my soul was unconsciously attracted to this place by fluorescent. The people who received me were nice and gave me clothes to wear. ”
My aunt saw that I was a half-grown child, and I was also wearing a long shirt of the Republic of China, so I guessed that I was not threatening, and I was no longer suspicious, and said with a smile: "Since I came, I will live a good life here, this place is no worse than Yangjian, but I just have to listen to the master." ”
When I heard her talk about the master, I hurriedly asked, "Who is the master?" How I didn't see it. ”
Auntie looked at the fat aunt, then turned to look at me and smiled: "No wonder it's new, I don't understand the rules here." The owner is Master Liu, and he is not something that can be seen casually. Have you seen Steward Zhang? The first newcomer is to meet him, and he is in charge of managing these chores. ”
I pretended to nod, but when I heard her say Master Liu, my first reaction in my heart turned out to be Daoist Liu Qing.
But then I thought about it, no, Taoist Liu Qing has been alive in the world for a long time, could it be that after he died, he came here?
I still wanted to continue to inquire, but the fat aunt next to me interrupted and asked, "I heard that this Steward Zhang, when he was in the yang world before, he liked Master Liu's concubine?" ”
Aunt hurriedly squeezed her eyes.
I saw that she meant that I was by my side and couldn't talk about this, so I hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't worry, although I, Zhang Dehao, am not a good person, I won't spread it around with a big mouth." ”
The aunt smiled and whispered: "Actually, here, this matter is not a secret, the old residents know it, but everyone doesn't say it." ”
Hearing the fat aunt say that Steward Zhang likes Master Liu's concubine, my heart suddenly became quiet, because I was really scared, and Master Liu here refers to my uncle.
Although I didn't know him, I didn't know how to deal with it.
And now it seems that this old man Liu should refer to a landlord.
Gossip is human nature, people like to listen to it, and aunts like to talk about it.
It is said that when he was still in the yang world, Steward Zhang was only a long-term worker in Master Liu's family at the beginning, and he lived in Master Liu's house, and he has always worked very hard.
Later, it was said that Master Liu took a concubine. Although the two of them live in the same compound, they have never been in contact at all.
Later, by chance, the landlord got a strange disease, and after the local doctor saw it, it was not good to cure it with ordinary medicine, so there was someone who understood the earth's recipes, saying that the locust flower could be cured, and the longer the year of the locust tree, the better the effect.
So the landlord's eldest wife let the concubine go to the mountain to pick acacia flowers, everyone knows that the wives and concubines of large families struggle very strongly, the so-called let the concubine pick acacia flowers, just to embarrass her.
Moreover, in the entire Qingtan Town, there is the oldest locust tree on the edge of a cliff on the green mountain.
The locust tree does not know how many years, and it has been blocked by the big tree next to it, and the sunlight is insufficient, because the plant is positive, this locust tree is like a person, slowly moving towards the cliff next to it, so as to get better sunlight.
And this little concubine is also a stubborn person, knowing that it is the eldest wife who is embarrassed, but she still goes.
It is said that she went out early in the morning, carrying a basket, but in the evening, she still did not come back.
The eldest wife did this thing without telling Master Liu, and she also wanted the concubine to retreat from the difficulty, so that she could say bad things about the concubine in front of Master Liu in the future.
Unexpectedly, this little concubine is so stubborn, if it is dark today, and no one has come back, the eldest wife also began to worry, afraid that something would really happen, and it would be difficult to explain to Master Liu when the time came.
So, he asked a few long-term workers to find it, and among them, there was the later Steward Zhang.
