Chapter Twenty-Three: Come and Dig for Gold
I couldn't help but be surprised, I originally only said that the third aunt had some kind of emergency, but I never thought that she would die like this. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast. Please search to see the most complete! The fastest update
"Have you found out why you died?"
Hui'er shook her head and said: "The doctor in the house diagnosed that the cause of death was a sudden attack of heart palpitations, and everyone in the courtyard felt strange, because the third aunt had been ill for a long time and became a doctor, and after her own careful conditioning, heart palpitations had not occurred for a long time." And she slept with the third aunt that night, and she didn't hear any movement at night, so how could she run to the yard herself? β
I nodded and said, "Generally, congenital palpitations will not vomit blood, even if it is a serious sudden, it is just coughing up some pink 'colored' blood foam, it should not be as bad as you said, there should be other causes of death." The doctor must have listened to his wife's intentions and concealed the real cause of the third aunt's death, afraid that the family's family would come to ask for an explanation and calm the incident, right? β
"Where are the relatives of the third aunt's mother's family? I heard her own story, there is a sister who has been separated since she was a child, and she is also a lonely person. Hui'er frowned and said: "There is even more terrifying, the third aunt died because she was young, and she was a concubine 'servant', so she couldn't enter the ancestral tomb of the Su family. After all, after the third aunt left, the people in the courtyard were all assigned to other errands, and it was not suitable for the new master to discuss these unfortunate topics. Later, after five periods, the eldest maid of the third aunt remembered her old friendship and prepared incense, candles, and paper foil to go to her grave to mourn, only to find that her grave had been dug open, and the corpse in the coffin was gone! β
Hui'er's face was slightly frightened, and her eyes widened: "After the maid came back, the people in the house began to speculate, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became, and people were a little panicked. In order to make an example of the lady and put an end to the rumors, she found someone to sell the girl from afar, and reprimanded a few subordinates who chewed their tongues 'indiscriminately', and slowly lived in peace. Only the old man said that he was always uncomfortable when he saw things and thought about people, so his wife sealed this courtyard, and few people came, and he was deserted for several years, and he was safe. β
"Could it be that this courtyard has just been renovated and inhabited?" I thought of the shadow wall that had obviously just been painted, and asked Hui'er casually.
"No, miss, it wasn't until a few days after you came back that Madame ordered the yard to be repainted. There was a rough maid who was ordered by the housekeeper to pack up her things here, and fell asleep in the house lazily, and did not wake up until dark, and hurried out of the house' 'door', and saw a white 'colored' figure under the 'flower' shelf passing by. She thought that she had seen the 'flower' eyes, but although she had 'hair' in her heart, she didn't care, and when she got out of the yard, she closed the 'door' and turned around, and saw a white 'colored' figure with black hair covering her face disappearing, and the swing at the entrance of the 'door' was windless and automatic. I felt frightened, and shouted loudly that there was a ghost, and was severely punished by Mrs. after knowing it. Everyone in the house said that the maid was 'dazzled' for a while, or she was faint from sleep, and the maid was afraid of the lady's punishment, and did not return the favor, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and everyone regarded it as a joke. β
I couldn't help laughing out loud, when I was on the mountain with my master, it was empty and desolate, especially at night, the strange sounds of all kinds of birds, the whimpering of trees or rocks blown by the wind, and the miserable and sad cries of unknown small animals, all gathered and woven together, which was really 'hairy' and terrifying. At first, I was also very scared, and I grabbed the placket of my master's clothes tightly, and I didn't dare to go back to the house to sleep by myself. The master was erudite and would often tell me about the origin of each sound, as well as touching legends about the birds. It has been proved that those strange things that 'mess with' the gods are pure fiction.
Later, I became more and more naughty, often running far, playing late, 'groping' home on the dark mountain road, and I didn't take it seriously with the sharp and desolate night owls, and occasionally I would respond to them and chat with them for a few words. When I sleep at night, I take those strange sounds that are 'messy' as a hypnotic lullaby.
"This maid is really making a fuss, don't say that it may be a momentary 'dazzle', even if there is really such a figure, it must be those dirty things? Maybe it's just someone passing by. Look at what scares you, that's all. β
"Miss, don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet." Hui'er shook her head and said, "Miss Qingyin walks around with Aunt Seven more frequently on weekdays, and Aunt Seven often instigates her to some bad rules, which makes Mrs. unhappy. Madame found an excuse for Miss Qingyin to move from the Splendid Garden, far away from the courtyard of the seventh aunt. Originally, although Miss Qingyin was reluctant and angry, she was fine. Later, she was angry with us, and moved all the 'flowers' and 'flowers' of the Splendid Garden, and the courtyard became crowded. When it was dark the day before yesterday, Miss Qingyin saw that the wisteria 'flower' was an eyesore, so she ordered the gardener to cut down the wisteria 'flower' on a whim. Who knows......"
Hui'er glanced nervously at the courtyard again, her face was full of horror, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty: "Who knew that the gardener '' the axe, and when he got closer, he felt that the axe that he used very easily on weekdays became heavy, as if someone was dragging his axe." He knew the rumors about this courtyard, and he was a little frightened in his heart, his hands and feet were weak, and he grabbed the handle of the axe and slashed it twice, and from the soil of the wisteria 'flower' the soil oozed red blood! The gardener was so frightened that he screamed, and the axe in his hand could not hold steadily, and fell directly on the surface of his feet, and by chance, he cut himself and bled all over the ground. Miss Qingyin was not lightly frightened, and she collapsed on the ground on the spot, unable to move for a long time. Later, when he woke up, he was supported by the maid and stumbled straight to the yard of the seventh aunt. The seventh aunt was angry and afraid, and pulled her to cry in front of Mrs. to complain, but she was just in time for Mrs. to have an accident that night. I didn't dare to add any more 'chaos', so I let Miss Qingyin stay in her yard that night, and the next morning she broke into the Splendid Garden and threw all our things out. β
I said how come I have never heard of this wisteria building being haunted, otherwise, according to the arrogant temperament of Qingyin and Aunt Qi, how could they swallow their anger and move into a rumored haunted courtyard?
After being so frightened, it is no wonder that when Aunt Seven suddenly saw me covered in blood that night, she was so frightened that she almost fell, and her 'flower' face lost her 'color'.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Hui'er added: "Now Madame is angry, so Miss Qingyin didn't bother Madame knowingly, and let this rumor spread to everyone in the house." Everyone talked about it, saying that the third aunt who died in vain came back to take revenge, and the resentment hovered in this courtyard. Some people also say that the soul of the third aunt is attached to the wisteria 'flower', and the 'flower' must have become a 'essence'. Now the people in the house are panicking, don't say that if you are close to this courtyard, I'm afraid no one will dare to go out at night. β
After listening to Hui'er's words, I immediately fell asleep, on the contrary, I was a little inexplicably excited, stood up, and pulled Hui'er up: "Let's go, Hui'er, let's go and see." β
"See what?" Hui'er looked at me suspiciously.
"What else can I see, of course, to see the 'female' ghost." I whispered into Hui'er's ear.
Hui'er was so shocked that she almost jumped up: "Huh? No! β
I sneered: "Where are the 'female' ghosts in the blue sky and white days?" I'm going to amuse you! β
Hui'er let out a long sigh of relief, saw me open the 'door' and walked out, and asked, "You're not sleeping?" Miss? I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes just now. β
Without looking back, I said, "Who sleeps with such a fun thing?" Then he shouted to the courtyard: "Lan'er, little sample, come out quickly, dig for gold!" β
Xiao Yan ran out of the house excitedly: "Where, where?" Where is the gold? "Look around.
"I didn't expect us to be a small wealth 'fan', go find tools, let's dig things." I said mysteriously.
Xiao Xiao answered crisply, opened a room that seemed to be a utility room, and really took out a gardener's shovel and hoe.
Lan'er also came out of the house: "Miss, your injury is not healed, do you want to plant 'medicine'?" There is no rush at this time. β
Hui'er was a little anxious: "Miss, what are you going to do here?" β
I walked under the wisteria 'flower' shelf, the ground was already covered with a layer of fresh floating soil, I kicked it with the tip of my shoe, and I could faintly see that there were still traces of red on the ground. I crouched down and grabbed a little of the dark crimson dirt with my hand, which had dried up and congealed into lumps, and it looked like it was indeed blood.
Lan'er and Hui'er stood far away in the courtyard, full of timidity, hesitating and not daring to move forward: "Miss, be careful of angering that 'female' ghost, or don't mess with that bad luck." β
Lan'er complained to Hui'er in a low voice: "Miss knows?" Didn't you talk about it after you discussed it? The young lady was already frightened, what if she was scared? β
Hui'er cried and snorted at me: "We didn't want to frighten Miss, but look at Miss's excited look, do you seem to be a little scared?" I was going to be scared by her. β
Lan'er also muttered helplessly: "How can Miss be so bold." β
I lowered my head and ignored the two of them, and pinched a little dirt with my fingertips to crush it: "It's really blood, but I don't know if it's human blood." β
"Human blood, of course." Hui'er slowly leaned over, but still didn't dare to get too close.
"How do you know?" I looked at her and asked suspiciously, "The blood is thick, how can it seep into it?" Don't tell me it's the blood of a 'female' ghost. β
Hui'er stretched her neck and glanced at it: "Because the gardener cut his foot, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move with his eyes closed, and he sat there and shed a lot of blood, and no one dared to clean it up at that time, or after we moved over, we looked at it as an eyesore, and we had the courage to dig some wet soil from the 'flower' bed and cover it, and no one dared to go in and clean it." β
"Oh, I see, I thought you were smarter than you, Miss I." I tried to take it as easy as I could, teasing.
Then go to the root of the 'flower' vine and dig out a little dirt. The soil here is obviously much lighter, and it is loose and non-sticky. I put it under my nose and sniffed it gently, and almost laughed out loud, where is the blood, it is clearly cinnabar.
"Lan'er, go and close the 'door' of the yard, I'm going to dig up treasures, don't be seen by others." I commanded with a smile.
"Miss," Lan'er couldn't help laughing: "Don't say that there is no treasure here, even if you dig out the gold mine, no one will see it, who won't walk around our yard now?" β
