When Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu arrived at the Yishui Garden where Mrs. Song was, they saw that there was a shortage of soldiers in the huge garden. The old lady Song, who was over seventy years old, looked frightened, and her body kept trembling as if she was hiding from something.

The housekeeper beside her was worried and anxiously ordered someone to find the doctor, while she whispered to the old lady. It's a pity that no matter what she says, she can't alleviate Old Madam Song's fear at this time.

The housekeeper saw Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu coming, and listened to the whispers of the people around her, her eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly looked at it hopefully.

Xu thought of something, she hurriedly said to Old Madam Song: "Old Madam, come out quickly, the immortal Zhou Gongzi and the female fairy judge Miss Chu who sang in the book before are here." With the two of them here, no matter how demons and monsters can get close to you......"

Although Mrs. Song was a little delirious, she obviously still had some impressions of Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu's names. Her distorted countenance gradually turned tentative, and she cautiously pulled her body out of the crack in the bed to look over.

It was probably Xiao Qinglang's temperament and appearance that really had the posture of a fairy, which made her slowly rub to the edge of the bed and sit down. Although he was still nervously rubbing his fingers, he was finally quiet.

Xiao Qinglang sat down at the round table farther away, looking coldly at the furnishings and servants in the room. Although it was the old lady's room, the furnishings in the room were a little old, and there were few slaves, and there were only three people waiting for the coarse cloth clothes at the door.

Looking at the stove used for heating, the charcoal fire is not very strong, so the house is still a little deserted. It couldn't even compare to the warmth of the living room they had been in before.

He reached for the teapot on the table, and when the tea was poured out, he realized that it was cold.

Xiao Qinglang didn't move, kept these abnormalities in mind, and then listened carefully to Xu Chu's gentle questioning.

"Old lady, do you remember how you fell into the water last winter last year?"

Old Madam Song frowned and thought about it in distress, and after a while, her face changed as if she had fallen into some kind of unknown fear, and said incoherently: "You can't say it, you can't say it, there are ghosts, it's ghosts...... I saw the ghost in white grinning at me......"

She seemed to think of some extremely terrifying scene, which made the whole person tremble violently, and a pair of cloudy eyes were even redder, and while dodging to the foot of the bed, she shook her head violently and said: "It's Shuangniang, I know it's Shuangniang and Xiao Hua are back, Shuangniang and Xiao Hua are back......"

Speaking of Shuangniang, Mrs. Song completely fell into hysteria, crying and laughing and talking nonsense. However, Xu Chu still heard the names of the two people clearly from her mouth, and she was just about to ask again, when she saw that Mrs. Song suddenly pulled up the quilt and covered her head, cried, and roared again in her mouth that it was haunted.

Xu Chu saw that he couldn't ask anything anymore, so he simply explained a few more times, and walked out with Xiao Qinglang. Naturally, as the most powerful housekeeper by Mrs. Song's side, Granny Li naturally had to send people to the yard in person.

Out of the room, Xu Chucai hesitated and asked, "The old lady is in such a state, your master hasn't thought of a way to help the old lady take a look?" ”

Granny Li smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Where can I not see it, I just invited a few doctors, but I was scared away by the old lady." Later, the old man specially invited a famous doctor from the capital to prescribe a prescription, but it is a pity that the more he eats, the worse the old lady's condition becomes, and now there is no time to be sober for a while. ”

Xu Chu nodded, feeling Xiao Qinglang write a few words in the palm of her hand under the cover of her wide sleeves, and she asked again: "Then will your master come often?" I see that the house is very deserted, and I am afraid that your master is about to have a seizure. ”

Granny Li sighed and said helplessly: "In the past, the old man often came to ask for peace, but when the old lady went crazy, she would often beat and scold the old man, and several times she also arrested the old man with a bloody face, and she always said that the old man was Xiao Hua's ghost, and she had to kill the old ......man."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly fell silent, and then said slightly apologetically: "This matter is really nonsense, but because of the broken face, the master's official business has also been delayed for several days." Later, in order to avoid irritating the old lady and avoiding the conflict between the two again, the old man did not come often. ”

"But the lord is a filial piety, when he was just an official, no matter how late it was, the lord would ask the old lady outside the door to rest. Sometimes the old lady rested, and the old man would quietly salute outside the door before leaving. In the winter, no matter how early it is, it will always be the same before the master goes to the yamen. ”

"It's really a thing or a person, and I don't know what kind of sin this has been created, and a good home has become like this. The eldest master's family, the family is ruined. The second master's house has become this scene again. As she spoke, she couldn't help wiping her tears, "But it's also thanks to the virtuous wife of my family, who often comes to accompany the old lady and the old lady." ”

"Speaking of which, the two nobles must have met my wife. In the past, my wife was a beautiful person, and she was in love with the old man, and she was very loved by the old lady and the old lady. Now, although the old lady is often stunned, she still likes to listen to the lady read the book the most. "Because Xu Chu had said before that he wanted to visit the old lady, so at this time, Granny Li was talking while taking people across the courtyard.

Xu is these words have been suppressed in her heart for too long, or because she is older, she has more memories, and she saw that Xu Chu listened carefully without any impatience, and she couldn't help but say more and more.

"It's just bitter ma'am."

When they said this, several people also went to the room where the old lady was. It was even more unbearable than the old lady's room, it was still deserted, and there was only a small servant waiting on the side, and it was also dozing off boredly at this time.

There was a stove burning in the house, and the charcoal fire was clearly extinguished only a thin layer, and the windows on three sides were tightly closed, so that the whole room exuded a strong smell of medicine mixed with musty.

And the old lady was lying crookedly on the bed, even though she was covered with a thick quilt, but it was difficult to hide the vicissitudes of life.

Xu Chu was secretly surprised in his heart, no matter what he said, he was also the father of the adult, how could he be so stubborn? Even if you have a stroke, or even if you are overly frightened, you won't end up like this.

Her eyes swept over the unrestrained chopsticks and the porcelain bowl containing the decoction on the table of the Eight Immortals, and said in her heart that what the Song family was hiding was not just Aunt Yang's trickery.

Because the old lady is a man, this time Xiao Qinglang stepped forward and bowed his hand calmly.

"Junior Zhou Yunlang, I have seen the old lady."

Old lady Song slanted her mouth, her eyes cloudy and babbling for a long time, but she didn't know what she said. A stream of saliva trickled down from the corner of his mouth, making him extremely embarrassed, and his appearance became more and more agitated and painful.

Thinking that he was also from a scholarly family, how proud he used to be, how sad he was at this time.

Xu Chu saw the change in the old lady's appearance, and then looked at the tears rolling down the corners of his eyes, and a conjecture gradually rose in his heart.

Obviously, Xiao Qinglang also discovered this detail, and it was obvious that although the old lady could not speak and was in extremely poor physical condition, his sanity was actually not damaged.

So he thought for a while and said, "The younger generation was entrusted by Lord Song to investigate the haunting of the house, I wonder if the old lady still remembers the frightened incident in the back garden that day?" ”

As soon as he heard Xiao Qinglang's words, he was different from the frightened and frightened old lady Song before, and old lady Song's eyes instantly burst out with an inexplicable coldness. His body, hidden under the quilt, rose and fell violently, his cheeks trembled, and his eyes widened and stared at Xiao Qinglang.

"Uh......h Ha or woo...... Ha or ......" Xu is found that he really couldn't speak clearly, and then looked at Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, although they frowned, they didn't understand what he meant. Old lady Song couldn't help but be deflated and whimpered with grief and indignation.

"Oh, childe, girl, don't ask. If the old lady continues to cry, I am afraid that my body will be even more uncomfortable. Seeing this, the little servant beside him quickly complained in a low voice.

Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang did not show displeasure, but still looked at Old Lady Song, each with a lot of worries.

Especially Xu Chu, looking at the old man who should have been respected, who should have enjoyed his son's filial piety and then raised his old age, but at this time he showed the sickness of his old age, which really made people feel pitiful and distressed. She believes that if Song Derong is still alive, it will never be possible for her father and mother to fall into such a miserable situation.

Thinking that Jinzhou officialdom was not a fake official of Song Derong, and perhaps the same was the case in other officials' homes, she couldn't help but feel chills.

Before leaving, Xu Chu glanced back at the old lady of Shangsong with great horror and despair, but with helpless and pleading eyes.

Behind him, the old lady Song, who slowly calmed down, wanted to sigh, but in the end she could only make a whimpering sound. The moment he saw the visitor, he thought that maybe it was all coming to an end......

As soon as Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu came out of the courtyard, they saw the maid who had just been waiting for the old lady in the house hurriedly ran over, and said to Granny Li with an anxious face: "Oh no, no, the old lady has run away again." ”

Granny Li's face changed, and she hurriedly confessed to Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, and then hurriedly went to find it.

And the maid was obviously a little out of luck, one step behind, and Xu Chu also had the opportunity to ask a few words.

"Your old lady often runs away?"

"No, not only do you not know where to hide when you are sick during the day, but you can't even live at night." The maid exhaled twice and urged sadly, "I don't know what kind of bad luck I poured, so I was assigned to this broken place, and I was angry." ”
