Chapter 1: Who Whispers
I didn't sleep in the spring, and I went to the cold in the winter.
How many times you have parted, why do you need to stay in the world?
Su Xiaoxiao was dazed, and when she heard the voice again, it seemed to be whispering in her ear, and it seemed to float from a long distance, and if she didn't pay attention, the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, her body was uncontrollable, and the fear in her heart swelled suddenly, forcing her to sit up suddenly.
The sky outside the window was gloomy, and I couldn't tell whether it was day or night, the sound of rain was pouring down, drifting into the house, a lightning bolt passed through the window that was blown by the wind, thunder followed, Su Xiaoxiao subconsciously hugged her head, this movement, the whole body hurt.
She forgot that she was still tied with rope, and although it was no longer directly attached to the bed, it was not much better. Now there is no obstacle except for the head to move, and the rest of the body, where it moves, it hurts hotly.
"Hiss~" Su Xiaoxiao frowned, lowered her head and bit the corners of the quilt, pulled them off her body and threw them to the ground, the whole process was extremely physically demanding, Su Xiaoxiao had to endure the pain and not make a sound, but also gritted her teeth and insisted on exerting herself, the whole person broke out in a cold sweat, and when she finished all this, her whole body was wet, as if she had been drenched in the rain.
After resting for a while, he lowered his head and counted the ropes tied to his body, one, two, three, four, five, one on the wrist, one at the elbow, one at the elbow, one at the calf, and the last one at the ankle.
Yes, yes, I still have one less bundle today, it's not easy!
Su Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly in her heart, and slowly moved for a long time before leaning on the pillar at the head of the bed, licking her dry and cracked lips, and before she could swallow a mouthful of saliva, the bloody taste in her throat carried the nausea in her stomach, and she gritted her teeth and endured it for a long time, but she still couldn't hold back, she vomited, and her whole body went straight to the bed.
Bang-, the movement was very loud, Ah Wan and Xiao Ru, who were serving in the outhouse, glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked in, one person was busy closing the window, and the other person stepped forward to support Su Xiaoxiao, who was hunched over her waist and was about to put her face on the floor, patted her on the back, and pulled a corner of the quilt that fell on the side and wrapped it around her.
"Awan, how many hours has it been?" Ah Ru, who was carrying Su Xiaoxiao smoothly, looked up and asked the other maid who had closed the window and was lighting the lamp on the side.
"It's been two hours! The young lady has been asleep for an hour! Ah Wan, who had lit the lamp, looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who had stopped retching, through the dim firelight, and felt a little distressed, "Let's help Miss back to bed together!" ”
With that, the two of them slowly supported Su Xiaoxiao's body and helped her to the edge of the bed and sat down.
"Wait a minute, I'll see if I want to change the futon," Ah Wan handed Su Xiaoying's entire body to another maid, and Ah Ru naturally leaned over and let Su Xiaoxiao lean on her.
Ah Wan quickly found out that the futon was already soaked with sweat, and quickly went to the cabinet next to her, took a new futon cover, replaced it, and took out the dirty quilt on the ground with her.
"Aru, slow down, Miss is full of injuries, be careful, don't hurt her!" Ah Wan soon returned, still holding tea in her hand.
Ah Ru didn't answer, she was very careful, helped Su Xiaoying to slowly return to the bed, leaned on two back pillows behind her, and tucked the newly taken quilt with her, and then retreated to the side.
"Miss, would you like some water?" Ah Wan poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
Su Xiaoxiao's face was pale, her hair was messy, she was like a ghost, she closed her eyes and shook her head, and she was angry and scared for a while.
How long will it take to survive like this?
"You just drink a little, otherwise, when the master and the lady come, they will have to-" Ah Wan stopped talking, and Ah Ru, who was standing on the side, also persuaded:
"Yes, Miss, just drink some water, you see your lips are dry and about to crack, your body is important!"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard the two titles of master and lady, her whole body trembled, and she trembled for a while before she nodded resignedly, still closing her eyes.
Ah Wan hurriedly put the water to her lips and fed her to drink, Su Xiaoxiao drank three cups in a row before waving her hand and refusing.
Ah Wan and Ah Ru stayed by the bedside for a while, watching Su Xiaoxiao quiet down before quietly retreating to the outer hall.
"Why did this decoction come so late today?" Ah Ru looked at the sky outside that was already dark, turned to Ah Wan and said, "Why don't you go and urge it, Miss took the medicine earlier, and we will also untie the rope with her earlier, wait for her to bathe and wash, and let her rest early!" ”
"Okay, then I'll call Xiao Zhou, who is waiting in the courtyard, to wait outside the door, you take care of the young lady carefully, don't let her look for death and life again, let the master know that she lifted the quilt again today, and maybe she will be tied to the bed board tomorrow!" Ah Wan nodded, took the oil-paper umbrella, gave some advice, and went out with her skirt.
"Sister Aru!" After a while, the voice of a small servant sounded outside the door.
"Got it, you just wait under the porch, I didn't call you, you are not allowed to come in on your own!" Aru opened the door curtain and whispered to the little maid wearing a robe and a hat, and then entered the inner wing where Su Xiaoxiao was resting.
Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, her mind was very clear, all the sounds here were real, the sound of rain, thunder, wind, and Aru, who stood silently next to her and didn't speak, but her breathing was very even.
Why? Why are you still in this place?
It's been two years, thinking about the torture I've endured in the past two years, it's really better to die, it's better to die than to die, I'm tied up every day, it's black dog blood, it's gray water, and all kinds of tricks, the so-called exorcism ritual, this is a big fate, or a bitter fate?
I just didn't do a good job in the company, I was afraid that the boss would find out the blame, I resigned early, slept in the dormitory for the last night, I didn't have a car accident, I didn't encounter weird phenomena, the dormitory door was closed, the water and electricity were also turned off, why did I wake up and go to this ghost place?
It's good to die, I think I'm dreaming, talking nonsense, letting the parents of this body see through it, and then there is no end to exorcism, interrogation, soul invitation, and rituals.
Su Xiaoying is really, she hasn't even understood the cause and effect, so she was put to death. Did they think she would want to come?
I--Su Xiaoxiao cursed the couple fiercely in her heart, they looked like people, they abused people, they were simply omnipotent. Also, what masters in this world, Taoist chiefs, and goddesses are all deceitful gods, and after inviting so much, I didn't see them send them back, and let themselves say everything they had to say, Su Xiaoxiao really hated it! If you don't say it if you know it, you should pretend to be dumb earlier, if you don't say so much, you won't have such a hard time!
Originally, Su Xiaoxiao didn't believe that she had crossed over, and she didn't want to cross, how good the 21st century is! There is wifi, mobile phones, and convenient transportation and payment conditions, who wants to come to this bird without, and the place doesn't know where the ghost world is. The lamps are still kerosene lamps, there is not even a candle, and when you burn it at night, you can see black smoke drifting on it!
Although, in today's world, time-traveling novels are very good-looking, and time-traveling TV series are very desirable, but yearning is yearning, and not everyone wants to come, an era when there is not even a toilet, what is there to yearn for? In the 21st century, if I want to play time travel, I can buy Hanfu, make art films, and get obscenity myself, if I have enough lewdness, why should I go, why should I really cross over? Or do you wake up and cross over? It's so easy to cross? So why not let those who want to wear it, wear me? Who did I recruit and who did I mess with?
Su Xiaoying has 10,000 whys in her heart, and there are 10,000 grass and mud horses! She doesn't even know if her original self still exists, what about her parents? Although they are patriarchal and don't care much about themselves, they don't let themselves be Fan Shengmei and squeeze themselves, except for urging marriage, letting themselves marry out quickly, and don't rub food at home anymore, there are no other hateful actions. I also let myself go to college, I couldn't find a good job and didn't say anything, and my friends who talked for three years said that they broke up and didn't chew anything, she came over like this, how can they be good? Won't it be sad?
In the current world, the couple who cry at themselves every day, turn around and tie her up, looking for people to exorcise ghosts everywhere, and keep calling themselves good daughters, compared to them, the parents of their original world are really perfect!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Su Xiaoxiao really didn't know, why couldn't she die with her broken body? Is it possible to return to the original world when you die? Was it just a long, horrible dream she had?
Who knows if there is a ghost spirit in this world, can someone tell her why she crossed and what to do so that she can go back!
This is really what she needs to know at the moment. Recently, she has been desperately trying to kill her current body, and she doesn't know why, but she always feels that when she is about to die, she hears a little girl reciting a poem:
I didn't sleep in the spring, and I went to the cold in the winter.
How many times you have parted, why do you need to stay in the world?
What's that? What does it mean? Su Xiaoxiao doesn't know any poetry, she has average grades since she was a child, and her memory is also poor, so she finally survived three books to graduate, and she retook a bunch of retakes the make-up exam before she barely passed. Don't say that she can't understand this girl's poems, and now she doesn't remember even the annotations of poems she once memorized! Let her memorize ancient poems, she will probably only be able to recite a goose goose goose!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside.
"Sir, ma'am, beware of slippery roads!" The little guy who led the way in front walked in front with his waist hunched.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tremble, my God, I think Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, are these couples roundworms in her stomach?
"Zhezhe, how do you feel today?" When she arrived in the inner wing, Wang sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Su Xiaoxiao with her eyes closed, and combed the broken hair in front of her forehead.
"Go and untie the rope from the young lady!" Gongbo Shengde, who was sitting at the table, and Fu Jielingcheng of the current Wu Kingdom, glanced at Ah Wan and Ah Ru who were standing aside.
Ah Ru didn't speak, and handed over the decoction, this decoction will make people have no strength, and it is specially rationed to Gongbo Zhezhe, afraid that she will not be able to think of suicide again.
The lady sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in a purple dress, with a towering cloud bun, wore a pearl hairpin and jade ring, with her movements, jingling, a pair of red crisp hands, took the decoction, and carefully blew and blew, and then handed it to Su Xiaoxiao's mouth.
The moment Su Xiaoxiao touched the spoon, she trembled.
"Is it hot?" Wang took the spoon back again, blew it, and handed it over, Su Xiaoxiao didn't answer, didn't open her eyes, and opened her mouth in resignation.
A bowl of decoction and medicine, quickly drunk. Wang retreated to her husband's side. Looking at Ah Ru and Ah Wan, they sent a tie for Su Xiaoxiao, and the grandmother they brought came to say that the wormwood water for bathing had been prepared!
Su Xiaoxiao let them take her to wash and bathe, and finally applied medicine, got dressed, brought them to the couple who had avoided the guest hall, and sat down.
It's these clear soup and little water meals again, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the couple opposite, gritted her teeth and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, okay, aren't you just going to watch me eat? I eat! Can't I eat it?
Forcing herself to eat two bowls of rice, Su Xiaoxiao endured the nausea and waited, and she didn't know if she would drink spell water or black dog blood with dog hair after dinner tonight?
"Zhezhe, there is a master in the house today, saying that it can drive away the evil ghosts on you, A-Niang promises, this is the last time, no matter whether it will succeed or not, A-Niang will not force you in the future!" While crying, Wang took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and cried.
Hehe, for the last time? The corners of Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, you have been saying this for two years, aren't you tired?
"Zhezhe, Dad and Mom are also for your good, you take care of it, and when you are well, Daddy and Auntie will no longer tie you up!" Gongbo Shengde's sideburns turned white and he sighed.
Su Xiaoxiao shut up and didn't answer, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were looking ahead, motionless, like everyone in wood, but in her heart, she had already scolded the people in front of her and the eighteen generations of her ancestors.
"You should rest early tonight," Gongbo Shengde comforted his wife for a while, turned his head and told the two maids, "Tonight, the master is doing things outside the door, you are all staying in the young lady's room, and you have to protect the young lady first if there is any movement, you know?" ”
"Got it!" Ah Ru and Ah Wan gave a salute, respectfully sent the master and Mrs. off, and when they saw that the two of them were far away, they asked Mama to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and helped Su Xiaoxiao to lie on the bed.
It's so good that tonight is so rare, I didn't pour her any messy soup.
Ah Ru and Ah Wan took turns to eat, and when they came back, they closed the door, one was in the outer wing, and the other was on the ground in the inner wing, spread the quilt, and lay down.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about them, no matter what they asked herself, she closed her eyes and didn't speak until the lights went out and both of them fell asleep, she opened her eyes and stared at the empty roof.
I can't sleep, I've slept all afternoon, and she's not a pig. Every morning, I got up, I was pulled to the Buddha hall and knelt, listened to them read the scriptures in the morning, tied them up in the afternoon, fed a bowl of soothing soup and lay down in the afternoon, the medicine I took at night, I didn't have any strength in my body, and I was still lying here, I have been here for two years, except for knowing that this couple is the country's Fu Jieling, this body is called Gong Bo Zhezhe, she has a sister named Gong Bo Xin, and the others don't know it! On the contrary, she was fooled by the gods and told everyone where she came from, her surname and her name!
Thinking of this group of fools who use straw to make a villain, writing their own names, today this one recites the scriptures to the original self, tomorrow the one burns paper to the original self to send the soul, and even worse, they even pricked it with a needle, which is a curse and a fire. These bastards, her grandmother's! It's useless for fart! Thinking of all the fire, curse you to hell!
was scolding the god stick in his heart, but the window opened, and the wind poured in, Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, looked at the open window, and then looked at Aru, who was not moving, it didn't seem right?
But then it doesn't matter, whatever, it's okay to open the window, blow yourself into a cold and fever early, and then when you take medicine, take less yourself, and die! It's been a hundred dead, and I'll never be able to die anymore!
"Miss Su, have you slept?" Leng Buding stood at the head of the bed, startling Su Xiaoxiao.
However, Su Xiaoxiao still resisted the urge to shout, closed her eyes, and didn't bother to pay attention to the person.
"Miss Su, Poor Dao is here to explain to you, I know you haven't slept!" The person at the head of the bed was an old Taoist priest who was more than half a hundred years old, wearing a black and swarthy robe, his hair was also greasy, a black hairpin, his whole face was also black, and his teeth were whiter with a mouth.
Scold! It turned out to be a deceitful magic stick, Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart. This kind of trick is all left over from the people in front of her, and it is not the first time she has greeted a god stick like him. Or dismiss her? You're here to talk to her, right?
"I know you haven't slept, so if you don't answer, I'll tell you myself?" The Taoist priest was not discouraged, and he sat directly on the ground next to the bed, "You are from another world, naturally there is a reason, I heard that the uncle and his wife said that you also want to go back to your father, but you can't go!" ”
"Perhaps, those Daoist masters before have chosen the wrong direction, and what really needs to be driven is not your soul, but the original owner of this body, Miss Zhezhe!"
Su Xiaoxiao still scolded him in her heart, but when she heard him say something different, although she didn't open her eyes, she paid attention to what she said.
"When a person dies, if he dies unjustly, there will be a great amount of resentment, and I ask you, have you encountered any strange things in this body?" The Taoist priest paid attention to her expression and movements as he spoke.
Strange things? Su Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed involuntarily, could it be that the female voice who recited the poem?
"If that's the case, you don't need the girl to say anything, you just need to nod your head and agree with me tomorrow when the old lady asks you! Poor road disturbed, farewell! Sure enough, there was a doorway, and when he saw her frowning, the Taoist priest knew that tonight's medicine was a symptom, so he got up and didn't stay anymore, and still returned the same way, closing the doors and windows.
Everything returned to calm, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and it took a while before she came back to her senses.
This Taoist priest, what he said, the female voice who recited the poem, is it possible, is it really this female voice who pulled herself over and forcibly prevented herself from leaving? Is the real ghost really another ghost?
