Chapter 2 The Boudoir
Miss Hao is the pearl of Hao Fugui's palm, just looking at the wood and carving techniques used in this boudoir, you can know that it comes from everyone's hands. There is a hole in it. Miss Hao's boudoir is not very large, with a gauze screen in the middle dividing the room into two, and some rouge gouache for girls is placed outside. At that time, most people would use rouge gouache for festivals or marriages. In the inner room is a bed, some of the clothes that Miss Hao wore before her death.
I saw the old man staring at the corner of the bed, thinking.
"Master, what are you looking at?" In front of outsiders, he naturally has to call him Master.
"Xuanzi, move the bed away, it seems a little strange underneath."
I listened to the old man's words, reached out to move the bed, and Hao Fugui ordered someone to come in and help me. When we moved out of bed and looked down at the bottom of the bed, there was a tumbling stomach and a nest of small mice under the bed, blood red and blood-red, and the hair had not yet grown. When Hao Fugui saw this group of rats, he couldn't help but go out and vomit.
I resisted the urge to vomit, "Master, how can this be?" Where did this rat come from? ”
"What do you think is the difference between this litter of rats and ordinary mice?" The old man picked up the broom in the room and poked the little mice, who were very mechanical, like puppets, and someone controlled them.
"These rats?" I was speechless in astonishment.
"It's a rat corpse, it can be seen that this female ghost's Taoism is not too high, and she can't manipulate the human corpse, and after tonight, it won't be easy to deal with." The old man threw down the broom in his hand and looked at the group of rat corpses.
Hao Fugui saw us come out. "Master Zhang, what's going on, how can there be rats in my daughter's bedroom?"
"Your daughter is a terrible ghost now, if you don't subdue her, I'm afraid the whole family will go with her." As soon as I said my words, the servants beside Hao Fugui stared at me.
"Master, I've been with you for more than 20 years, have you told Master Zhang the truth, what about a dozen or so lives?" The servant looked at Hao Fugui and pleaded.
Hao Fugui sighed, "Hey, please follow me to the main hall to hear things clearly." "Hao Fugui really has something to hide from us.
As soon as we turned around, we heard the sound of the door closing behind us. When we came out, the door was left behind and not shut.
"Who closed the door." Hao Fugui shouted behind him, but did not receive any answer.
"Master, could it be that Miss is back?" The servant looked a little frightened.
"What nonsense?" Hao Fugui hurriedly stopped him.
We returned to the main hall of Hao's house, and Hao Fugui sent all his subordinates out.
"Master Zhang, how sure are you?" Hao Fugui looked at the old man worriedly, for fear that the old man would not care.
"If you don't tell me the truth, you're 30% sure, and if you tell me the truth, you're 50% sure." The old man answered him bluntly.
Hao Fugui lowered his head and said to himself: "Fifty percent, fifty percent can be regarded as salvation." ”
It took him a long time to come to his senses. "When I was a child, more than 40 years ago, my family was very poor, to the point where there was no rice to cook. The neighbors around me have borrowed it all over the place, and they are embarrassed to borrow it again. That day, my mother and I waited for my father to borrow rice and come back to make the pot. Looking forward to noon, my father came back with chickens, ducks and white rice. I also brought a man with me, and although I was young at that time, I still remember the appearance of that man. The man was ugly and thin, with a large scab on his chin and a monkey-like face. "That's how ugly it is. will make Hao Fugui frown like this.
"My dad called him a master, and he looked back and forth around our house many times, and told my dad that this is a good place to gather wealth, but the pattern of house construction is not right, and the more you gather, the poorer you are, and you need to change the direction of the house. We were really poor, and we didn't have the money to build a house. My dad had been worried about this all day. But the next day, my father was building a house, I don't know where he got the money, and he didn't say anything when he asked him. At that time, after the house was built, the master came again, and brought a child, the child did not cry or make trouble, nor was he hungry, just sleep there, my mother saw that the child was pitiful, and planned to pick it up and feed something, but my mother just stretched out her hand and did not touch the child before the master stopped her. Hao Fugui seemed to be thinking about the child's appearance.
"What does that kid have to do with this, pick and choose." I see that Gao Fugui's words are becoming more and more boundless.
"The key is the child, the child's appearance is diametrically opposed to this master, the child has beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and anyone wants to pick him up when they see him. The master gave my father a drawing of the house. This is it. Hao Fugui took out a white cloth from his arms, and the white cloth was slightly yellow. The pattern of the Hao family is drawn on it, and if you look closely, you will find that there is no location of the gate on the map.
"Both of them saw that the walls of my Hao house were made of big bluestone, which was carried out from the mountains by the master and my father, and I don't know where they were. As for the location of the gate, the boy chose it. It was supposed to be the day of the full moon, but the sky was full of rain clouds, and we all thought it would rain. The master was very excited, put the child directly on the ground, only to see the child crawl out of the cloth, all the way to the west, the child stopped at one point, looked at the master, the master nodded, the child crawled to another point, the location of these two points is now the gate. Hao Fugui looked at the old man to see if he was listening.
