Chapter 104: Forty sons, eighteen mothers

"Yes, I did use this phone to contact you."

The man seemed to have insight into Lin Yulan's psychology, looked at the hand-cranked telephone and said affirmatively. Lin Yulan has seen a lot of ghosts, and there are more than three or five anecdotes that she knows and experienced, but today is the first time she has heard of this. A family a hundred years ago, an old-fashioned telephone that has been buried in the house for more than 100 years, can actually dial its own number? Curious, she took out her phone and looked through the call logs, and found that the call she received last night didn't show the number at all.

His eyes returned to the strange mansion and looked at the middle-aged man again. Lin Yulan understood that since he had called him, there must be someone who needed help. So, she was waiting for the man to speak.

At this time, the man's wife came over with a tea tray, and three exquisite blue and white porcelain bowls held three cups of hot tea, bubbling with a faint fragrance. The dignified and quiet lady put three cups of hot tea in front of Lin Yulan and them, and said with a smile: "Distinguished guests, please use tea." Then, politely, she took a few steps back and sat down beside her husband.

"Uh...... Let me introduce myself first, I am Hu Hai. Tea merchant, my tea has been sold across the ocean to the land of foreigners. ”

The man's eyes were full of pride as he spoke, and so was the lady sitting next to him, and she glanced at her husband with a very gentle and admiring look.

Lin Yulan smiled and nodded.

"It seems that Mr. Hu is very happy, oh, I mean to say...... In your time. So may I ask...... What are your worries about now? ”

Lin Yulan's words were tactful, but she ran to the point. She can only say this, because what is in front of her is the soul after all, and this mansion is obviously a yin mansion! That Hu Hai was still full of happiness, as if the loss of life did not feel any pain for him, and he was still living in his own world. Lin Yulan has a bold guess that probably the family in this yin house has not lived in Qingyuan Hutong for more than 100 years, but in the underground of this alley.

"Oh, although the business has basically stopped over the years, the little savings in our lives are still enough for us to enjoy a few lifetimes. It's just that...... There is one thing that really bothers us as a couple. ”

The first half of Hu Hai's words were full of pride and confidence, but when he said the second half of his words, his face was sad. His wife sighed alongside, her demure appearance adding a bit of resentment.

"Please speak up, we modern people don't like to talk around the bush."

Lin Yulan's words were very direct and straightforward.

"Miss Lin is really an open-minded person, I am not mistaken."

Hu Hai came with a word of praise, but Lin Yulan was not used to the two words in his mouth. Because in modern times, it seems that many people have an inexplicable aversion to this word.

"Mr. Hu, just say it directly."

Lin Yulan urged again.

"Well, it's because...... My mother's thing. Recently, it seems that we are going to start a project, and my wife and I have nothing to fear, because after the ups and downs and joys of a lifetime, we no longer care about the collapse of a room or a piece of land. As long as the soul is immortal, we can still be a pair of happy ghost mandarin ducks in the underworld. It's just that...... My mother was still young, and her bones had not been decomposed and preserved over the years. There is every possibility that she will be reborn, so ...... I'd like to ask for your help. ”

These words directly made Lin Yulan dizzy, and she even suspected that she was having a very absurd dream. Gao Shan, who was on the side, jumped up directly, pointed at Hu Hai's nose and asked in surprise, "Do you say it again?" What's going on? You two are getting old, you ...... You...... But your mother is still young? ”

"Exactly."

Hu Hai nodded with a serious expression.

Qi Shuangling, a female ghost who has been in the underworld for five years, also feels incredible. She looked at Hu Hai and his wife and said, "I'm also a ghost, don't make such a joke with me...... I have seen too many strange things, but I have never heard of the fact that my son is old and my mother is still young. ”

"That's true, I'm thirty-three in my forties, and my mother is eighteen."

Hu Hai's expression became more serious, making Lin Yulan really wonder if they should listen to this absurd story? Takasugi exclaimed again, "Is there a mistake? Did you advance it? Still is...... Haha, it's scary to think about it, it's scary to think about it! ”

Lin Yulan, who was calm and introverted, decided to continue listening to him after pondering for a while. Hu Hai's wife suddenly stood up elegantly, and walked out of the living room with a few steps, Hu Hai looked at his wife's back and said, "If your mother hasn't woken up yet, don't disturb her old man's dream." ”

The lady answered "yes" and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and it can be guessed that she went to invite Hu Hai's mother, who is also her mother-in-law. The huge living room fell silent for a moment, and Lin Yulan and the others were waiting for Hu Hai's mother to appear with doubts, and Hu Hai was also waiting, so as to confirm that what he said was true.

The clock rang rhythmically in the corner, and five minutes later, two beautiful ghosts finally floated in outside the door. The one walking in front was naturally Hu Hai's wife, and the one in the back really shocked Lin Yulan's eyes.

This woman is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round goose egg face, dark eyes, willow eyebrows that are neither thick nor light, and even if they are not depicted, they are still angular. The cheeks are flushed and light, the skin is as white as fat, the figure is tall and slender, and the whole body exudes a youthful vitality. She wears a lotus pink embroidered tulle gown with a dark red cropped jacket and cotton trousers, and a pair of crimson embroidered soft-soled cloth shoes. When he walked, his whole body trembled like flowers, and the gold and silver ornaments above his head made a crisp sound.

"Mother, please."

Hu Hai suddenly stood up, walked over to support the little girl, and sat in the position in front of him. Then he stood aside respectfully. Her wife could only stand side by side with him, and was very restrained in front of the little girl. The little girl looked at Lin Yulan and the female ghost, and then at Takasugi, who looked blank, and then the corners of her mouth curled slightly as if she was smiling.

"Hai'er, are these the honored guests you said have special abilities?"

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, and she suddenly turned her gaze, a pair of willow eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and her two eyes looked very strange, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad?

"If you go back to your mother, you are the honored guest invited by the child."

Hu Hai bowed his head lightly, looking like his children admired Gao Tang. Lin Yulan looked at his premature aging face with ravines and ravines, and then looked at the mother he called in his mouth, the delicate face like a flower to be released, it was really difficult not to doubt the true relationship between the two again. But then, the conversation between the mother and son made Lin Yulan believe it a little.

"I thought it was a Taoist master in the Xuanmen, hehe, but I never thought that it was such a delicate young lady, and such a stunned descendant. This one is even more unconvincing, isn't it? Isn't she just the same underworld geist as us? ”

With this tone, it was clear that he was extremely distrustful of Lin Yulan and them, Hu Hai hurriedly bowed his head again, and then came over with his ear.

"Mother, don't you know that these people are not idle people. The children have inquired, and they have done a lot of achievements! Besides, people can't be disguised, right? I think you also became a well-known talented girl at a young age! ”

Hu Hai's previous words may not be remembered by his young mother, but she absolutely loves to listen to the compliments in the back. For a while, the upturned eyebrows calmed down, the eyes radiated a different kind of light, and the whole face rippled with a smile, like a peach blossom swaying in the spring breeze.

"That's it! I think I was a well-known beautiful woman with both talent and appearance, who didn't know who didn't know who didn't know within a hundred miles? Hu Manwen of Daotai Mansion is by no means idle! Ay! It's a pity that after I gave birth to you when I was seventeen years old, I died prematurely. ”

Hearing these words, Lin Yulan vaguely figured out a clue. She suddenly became more and more interested, and was ready to dig up a new and strange story......
