Chapter 7: The Night of the Soul (1)
Wu's mother left in a hurry, and the noise of the Li family came from downstairs.
Ye Liang threw himself on the comfortable bed, staring at the chandelier above his head with his eyes wide open.
At this time, there was a knocking sound on the window, Ye Yuan jumped out of bed, opened the window, and a slick squirrel jumped in.
The squirrel's mouth was stuffed with bulging mouths, and Black Bean's eyes stared innocently at Ye Liang.
Ye Quan smiled and reached out to pinch the squirrel's mouth, and the squirrel helplessly spit out a round thing from his cheek pouch, which turned out to be a wax pill. Ye Liang picked up the wax pill, reached out and took out a peanut in his pocket and sent it to the squirrel's mouth, the squirrel grabbed it with both paws, swallowed it in one bite, and then the cheek pouch on one side bulged.
Ye Quan smiled and reached out to point the squirrel's bulging little face, but the squirrel didn't appreciate it, turned around and jumped along the windowsill to the plane tree opposite, squatted under the branch and took out the peanuts from his mouth, and ate them with two small paws.
Ye Liang glared at it: "The dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people." ”
As he spoke, he pinched open the wax pill and took out the note inside, with a few lines of scribbling on it. It is the latest news that Zhao Nan got about some doubts about Wen Yaozu.
After Ye Liang finished reading, he pushed open the window and listened to Zhao Nan's shout from outside the wall: "Stinky tofu, delicious stinky tofu." ”
She pulled out her lighter and lit the note, which soon turned into a page of black ash and was blown out of the window by the wind.
In order to meet the first seven souls, it was necessary to maintain good physical strength and energy, so Ye Liang lay on the bed and fell asleep in a soft eiderdown quilt. The bell of eleven o'clock woke her up, and the room was pitch black, and there was some glimmer in the cracks of the curtains, and she rubbed her eyes, and looked at the moonlight through the curtains, and suddenly her hairs stood on end: who pulled the curtains? The curtains didn't close when I fell asleep.
The windows were hidden, a breeze was blowing, and the edges of the curtains were moving, as if someone was trembling inside.
Ye Liang hurriedly got up, rushed to the window, opened the curtains with a bang, there was good moonlight outside, she remembered that today was the twelfth of the lunar calendar, and it was almost fifteen, no wonder it was so bright.
Did anyone come in? Ye Liang looked at the door opposite, she was sure that she was sleeping with one eye open and vigilant enough, how could someone come in and not find out? Still is......
At this time, a small black shadow swished out from under the bed, and Ye Liang squatted down: "It turned out to be you little villain." ”
It turned out that the squirrel had come in through the hidden window at some point, and the squirrel looked at the leaf limit, jumped on the windowsill, and pulled the curtain and swinged. Ye Liang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you who did a bad thing, right?" Scared the hell out of me. ”
Ye Liang grabbed the squirrel, stuffed it into his handbag despite its objections, opened the door and walked out.
The lights in the corridor on the second floor were on, and there was no movement at all. She deliberately changed into a pair of soft-soled shoes today, and walked without making a sound.
Walking from the guest room to the staircase, Ye Liang stopped, staring at his feet, not moving.
Wen Jingrong's four wives all happened here, what is the difference here?
She crouched down and touched the floor little by little.
There is no protrusion, a few boards and the surrounding boards are no different, in front of the railing, carved railing, it can be seen that the building of the Wen family was built very early, the wood has traces of time, the carving is simple and dark red.
That's how you fell from here? She reached out to touch the railing, and suddenly the tips of her fingers hurt, Ye Liang raised her hand, and saw through the light of the corridor that blood beads were oozing from her fingertips, were they pierced by wooden thorns?
She reached out and touched the railing again, and it was very smooth and free of burrs. So, what is it that pierces yourself?
"Miss Ye."
Suddenly put a hand behind him, the strength of that hand was extremely strong, if Ye Liang didn't have a little martial arts foundation, he would definitely fall downstairs if he was frightened by Mother Wu like this and pushed it.
She stood steadily, calm and relaxed: "Mother Wu, why don't you make any sound when you walk." ”
Wu's mother pointed to her feet: "I changed into a pair of soft-soled shoes, and I didn't dare to make a sound when I returned to my soul, God knows if the young grandmother will come back." ”
"Hey, aren't you afraid to come to see your young grandmother?"
Mother Wu stretched out her fingers to make a silent movement: "Shhh, be quiet, I'm scared, but I want the young grandmother to come back and tell me what happened, those tabloids outside are writing nonsense, as if our young master has done something hurtful." ”
Ye Liang nodded, and the two of them slowly walked downstairs.
The hall on the first floor was empty, Chen Ying lit a white candle in front of the tablet, and placed tributes, the dismal candlelight reflected her smiling face, with the white satin on the table, which looked a little weird. Large flakes of rice were scattered on the floor, all the way to the kitchen.
Ye Liang glanced at Wu's mother, and she said: "This is how we summon spirits in the countryside, and I draw a scoop according to the gourd." ”
Ye Liang suddenly thought: "The three wives in the past, you also summoned souls like this?" ”
"No, where did I think so much before, conjuring spirits, I panicked when I thought about it, now it's not okay, I can't ask our young master to bear this injustice, if the young grandmother really comes back to tell the truth, wouldn't it be to clear our young master's suspicion."
"Will the police believe it?"
"That? At least our Wen family won't be suspicious. ”
At this moment, a woman came out of the kitchen, still holding a bowl in her hand, and sprinkled rice as she walked. Seeing Wu Ma and Ye Quan, she was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "Why did you come out?" ”
"Wait for the soul to come back." Wu's mother replied.
It turned out that the one who kept Sami was the aunt of the Li family.
"Oh, you don't know, there can't be anyone when you return to the soul, I'm just going to leave after sprinkling rice."
Ye Quan pouted: "There are no outsiders, so how can you ask my sister, I still want to know how she died." ”
Aunt Li sighed: "Miss in-law, I know that you treat me as a shrew, in fact, I am also from a beautiful background, but I have been having a hard time these years, and the anger on my body has become heavier and heavier, I also want to know why our sister-in-law committed suicide, but it has been ten years, and I don't know where to go to reincarnation." Okay, okay, we're all here, and your sister won't be coming back. ”
Aunt Li's aunt didn't stop talking, spilled the rice in the bowl at the door, stretched out her hand to pull Ye Yuan, suddenly thought of the scene in the afternoon, and was afraid of this woman in her heart, and turned to pull Wu's mother: "Let's go, let's go back to the room and hide first." ”
Ye Quan followed the Li family's aunt and aunt to the upstairs in disbelief, and just halfway through the walk, he heard the door squeak, Ye Quan looked back, the door opened a crack, and the noise of crickets and cicadas came in.
Suddenly, just above Ye Limit, a black shadow fell down, Ye Limit's hand was quick, and as soon as he grabbed it, he listened to Wu's mother wailing: "I'm scared to death, I obviously look at the walking, how could I fall down." ”
It turned out that it was Wu's mother who rolled down the stairs.
Ye Liang helped Wu's mother to stand still, couldn't help stroking her chest, and trembled: "Miss in-law, thank you, if you hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid I would have gone with our young grandmother." ”
"That's how my sister fell?" Ye Liang turned to look downstairs, thinking in his heart, did Chen Ying really fall down from the upstairs with one foot in the air?
"Yes, yes, the young grandmother wanted to eat snacks that night, I went to the kitchen to cook the sugar water for the Lantern Festival, and I heard a plop, and the young grandmother fell downstairs when I rushed over." She thought for a moment and continued, "It's like a goose with a broken neck, and it's pumping all over its body, and it's scared to death." Aunt Li sighed and said, "God is pitiful." ”
"Then where was Wen Yaozu at that time?"
Mother Wu glanced at the Li family's aunt: "Sleep in your own room, the little master has to go to school the next day, and he has been sleeping early." ”
Crunch. Suddenly, there was a strange sound from downstairs, like a person walking on rice.
The three of them were a little hairy in their hearts, holding their breath and not daring to say a word.
