Chapter 15: Illusion or Prophecy?
Li You didn't dare to stay all the way, and returned to the mansion in ten minutes.
Entering the courtyard, Li You only heard his mother's painful moans, and knew that his mother's old problem of heartache must have flareed up again. Thinking of everything in the illusion, Li You immediately realized what was going to happen next, and ran to his mother's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Li Tianshi leaned on the bed, squinting his eyes, and kept stroking his chest, and Chun Tao was holding a bowl to take medicine for his mother.
"Aunt Tao, don't!" After Li You saw it, he broke off his drink, Chun Tao was shocked and trembled, and the bowl that was already leaning on Li Tian's mouth fell to the ground.
Click! The bowl was smashed to pieces, and although Li Tian was also taken aback, he immediately opened his eyes when he heard Li You's voice. "Oh, my son, you're finally back."
Li You hurriedly walked to Li Tian's side and held her hands. "Mother, my son is not filial, and you are worried." After speaking, he leaned down on Li Tian's body and cried. After all, he experienced the death of his mother in an illusion, although he knew that it was an illusion, but how could he not be sad in his heart, just now when Li Tian's life was hanging by a thread, the blows from the two sides made Li You, who had experienced many hardships, unable to control himself anymore.
At this time, Li Tian's heart didn't hurt anymore, she looked at Li You lovingly, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Don't cry, don't cry, my mother knows that you have gone through many hardships, but now that they have passed, you must not live up to the teacher's trust."
When Li You heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Li Tian incredulously. Li Tian shook his head at Li You and motioned Li You not to ask more, and Li You remembered what Gao Tao said about the dream. I don't know what the teacher told my mother, but being able to get the understanding and support of my loved ones is enough for Li You.
"Aunt Tao, this medicine was given to you by Liu Niang?" Li You cleaned up his mood and turned to look at Chun Tao who was standing aside.
"Well, yes." Chun Tao replied casually, but immediately felt that something was wrong, so she looked at Li You with a puzzled expression. Li You couldn't explain it to Chun Tao, and he was even more confused.
Aren't all the visions you experience in the tomb an illusion?
"Aunt Tao, just the three of us at this time, I have something I want to ask you, but this matter may be a little abrupt, please don't blame." Li You simply gave it another try.
"If you have anything to ask, just ask." Chun Tao looked at Li You with a curious expression. After all, it involved Chun Tao's personal question, but Li You was really confused, and after carefully pondering the way of asking, he asked. "What do you think of Liu Zhong?"
Hearing this, Chun Tao gasped briefly, tilted her head back slightly, and her eyes widened slightly. Although she immediately lowered her head to cover up the past, it was enough for Li You at this time. When asked about Liu Zhong, Chun Tao reacted with surprise and suspicion, and it seemed that her affair with Liu Zhong was also true.
What about Zhao Wu and Liu Niang? There is also the murderer of the ghost cannibalism case, Yao Buwei's matter, and even his top boss Luzhou's assassination of Shi Wang Lang, is it really not true? Thinking about this, Li You couldn't help frowning, and began to think about what to do next.
First of all, you must first get rid of the inner ghost of Ben Zhao Wu. After all, he was by his side, and he was plotting against his mother. Although he saw through his plan this time, it didn't mean that he wouldn't set up other poisonous plans. If something happens to my mother again, I will definitely live in chagrin for the rest of my life.
Thinking about this, Li You made up his mind as soon as he pondered slightly, and immediately turned to face Li Tian. "Mother, I intend to keep the matchmaker for once, I wonder if you agree?" Li Tian looked at Li You curiously, but when he saw Li You turning his eyes to Chun Tao, he immediately understood what Li You meant. "Chun Tao, you've been with me for more than twenty years." Li Tian looked at Chun Tao.
When Chun Tao heard Li You's words, she remembered what he had asked Liu Zhong before, and immediately understood what Li You meant, and her face turned red. "Hmm." Chun Tao replied to Li Tian with a twist.
"I think this Liu Zhong is good, he is honest, his body is strong, and there is just one less person who does laundry and cooks around him." Li Tian said as he looked at Chun Tao. Chun Tao pinched her hands together, and her head couldn't be lowered. "If you are interested, I will let Li You talk to you. There is a master Zhang Luo for you, and he Liu Zhong will definitely not refuse. Moreover, when you pass the door, their family will not dare to bully you. What do you think? ”
"Aunt Tao, you have always served by your mother's side, and I have always treated you as a relative. If you like Liu Zhong, I will use the pomp of my aunt's marriage to organize this marriage for you. Li You and Li Tian both looked at Chun Tao, although Chun Tao was reluctant to express his position at this time, but his face was already smiling. Li You also showed a satisfied smile.
Li You took the initiative to marry Luo Chuntao and Liu Zhong, and it was by no means selfless. Liu Zhong is not only the head of the yamen, but also a native of Shengtang County, in this Shengtang County, there are no less than 100 relatives, plus he has been making a living in the yamen for decades, and the accumulated connections are a force that should not be underestimated. Although Li You is a county magistrate, after all, he has only been in Shengtang County for two years, and if he can entrap Liu Zhong, it will be beneficial to all aspects in the future.
"You girl, you are talking." Li Tianshi saw that Chun Tao had never expressed his position, so he was a little impatient. Li You's suggestion was in Chun Tao's arms, at this time she was just embarrassed, but now after Li Tian's urging, she got off the donkey and nodded slightly.
"Okay, that's it. Ha ha. Li Tian laughed heartily, and Li You finally got a thing on his mind.
With Liu Zhong's full assistance, it would be much easier to deal with Zhao Wu.
………
Zhao Wu has always been a little distracted recently.
Ever since he saw Li You being dragged into the tomb by something in the Gaotao Tomb that day, Zhao Wu's original belief began to waver.
Zhao Wu is not bold, but he has always believed that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, and he has no worries when robbing tombs. Now after such an encounter, Zhao Wu's mind began to loosen. As a result, the various things encountered during the previous tomb robbery have become not so simple.
Once, when Zhao Wu opened the coffin, the corpse suddenly opened its mouth, and a thick smoke spit out of its mouth. Another time, when Zhao Wu was digging a grave, he always felt that someone was standing behind him. Once, when Zhao Wu took off a golden hairpin from the head of a young female corpse, the female corpse actually opened her eyes.
The more Zhao Wu pondered, the more empty he became, the more he pondered, the more afraid he became, he always felt that something was always following him, and he always felt that someone was talking in his ear. What's wrong with you? Could it be that it is a ghost? Zhao Wu was taken aback by this sudden thought, and became more and more uninterested in working, so he asked Yang Ming, the chief bookkeeper, for a half-day leave, and walked home in a trance.
Although nothing strange happened along the way, Zhao Wu still felt that there was someone behind him, and he couldn't help but look behind him after taking a few steps, and he couldn't help but be stunned in place after taking a few steps, as if he was hooked by something.
So, Zhao Wu stopped and stopped along the way, hesitated, and walked for more than an hour after more than ten minutes. finally came to the door of the house, and vaguely seemed to see a red figure flashing into his door. Zhao Wu's heart couldn't help but chuckle, standing at the door of the house, he didn't know whether to enter or not.
"Lao Zhao, you are grinding at the door, what are you doing!" Just as Zhao Wu was wandering at the door, a woman in red suddenly flashed out. "Ahh Zhao Wu screamed and sat on the ground. "You, don't come here!" Zhao Wu sat on the ground, his hands on the ground, and kept moving backwards and backwards. "I didn't mean to! Not on purpose! ”
"Lao Zhao! Lao Zhao! The woman in red not only ignored Zhao Wu, but instead shouted loudly while running quickly to Zhao Wu's side. Zhao Wu couldn't hear the woman's call at all, and the whole person stretched out his hands as if he was in a dream, and kept waving in the air. Seeing that Zhao Wu had been in a state of madness, the woman was ruthless and slapped Zhao Wu in the face.
Syllable! Oops! After a slap, Zhao Wu only felt dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, his eyes gradually became clear, and he finally recognized the woman in red in front of him. "Oh, at home, what are you doing beating me!" This woman turned out to be Zhao Wu's daughter-in-law, Zhao Feng.
"No matter what I call you, you don't agree, I can't help it, so I beat you." Zhao Fengshi looked at Zhao Wu with an aggrieved expression. Zhao Wu seemed to have some impression of everything just now, but he didn't remember it very clearly.
"Big brother, why are you sitting on the ground?" At this time, two men ran out from the courtyard opposite Zhao Wu's house. Both of them looked to be in their thirties, one was as thin as Zhao Wu, but a head taller than Zhao Wu, with two motifs at the corners of his mouth, and the other was fatter and had a greasy face. One of these two people is named Feng Guang and the other is named Feng Liang, and they are Zhao Wu's two brothers-in-law.
Zhao Wu saw the two and hurriedly stood up from the ground. "Second, third, why did you run out?" Zhao Wu said as he turned his head and wiped his mouth with his hand. Just now, the woman's hands were too heavy, and she actually broke the corners of her mouth.
"We heard you yelling, and we were worried that something was going on, so we hurried out to take a look." Feng Guang saw Zhao Wu's embarrassment and hurriedly explained to Zhao Wu. "Big brother, are you okay?"
"What can I do?" Zhao Wu hurriedly denied it. Zhao Wu fled to Shengtang County from Shandong, and with his courage, he mixed up some appearances before marrying his current daughter-in-law. Therefore, in front of his relatives, Zhao Wu has always regarded himself as bold, so naturally he will not tell the two of them what happened just now. "Go back." After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go home, when Feng Liang immediately reached out and grabbed Zhao Wu. "Big brother, it's time to buy and sell again." Feng Liang leaned close to Zhao Wu's ear and whispered.
"Buying and selling?" Because of what happened just now, Zhao Wu's brain was still a little dull, and he didn't react for a while. Feng Liang showed an incredulous expression, but he still approached Zhao Wu's ears again. "The king shopkeeper of the blessed tavern, it's going to be gone."
"No, no, oh!" Zhao Wu finally woke up from what he had just encountered and understood what Feng Liang meant. However, when I think of everything I have experienced in the past few days, my heart actually beats. However, in front of the two, Zhao Wu still pretended to be a bamboo in his chest. "The old rules." "Gotcha." The two of them smiled flatteringly at Zhao Wu, then turned around and walked towards the gate of their courtyard.
"Hey!" Zhao Wu stood in place, waiting for the two to enter the door before he sighed deeply. Zhao Fengshi saw that Zhao Wu was preoccupied, and immediately grabbed Zhao Wu's arm. "Lao Zhao, what's wrong with you." Zhao Wu glanced at the woman and pretended to be indifferent again. "It's okay."
"But, just now you, you..." "What's wrong with me?" "You look terrified, like you're haunted by a ghost." "Don't talk nonsense! I, Zhao Wutian, am not afraid of the ground, what the hell dares to approach me! Although Zhao Wu said this, after hearing Zhao Feng's words, his heart became more and more panicked.
Could it be that there is a ghost who has entangled himself?
