Mrs. Shangshu asked her many times about how Wei Qihua could swallow a consuming cub, but she refused to tell the truth, only saying that she had eaten it by mistake.

Miss Qianjin's room is the cleanest place, more than a dozen incense burners a day and ten times a day, don't say that kind of dirty things, just an ant and a flying insect, can't enter her room, how can it be eaten by mistake?

Of course, it wasn't eaten by mistake, what happened that night was only known to Wei Qihua himself.

Now even when he closes his eyes, Wei Qihua can feel that Wei Yechen's well-organized voice is like in his ears-

"Didn't you lock Xiaoqin in the barn and send a message to your subordinates that whoever lets her out swallow a live mouse? Do you know that Xiaoqin is tossed by you to breathe, and every night you have nightmares, and you sleep very soundly! ”

"Y-What do you want?" Wei Qihua asked worriedly.

She had never seen Wei Yechen like this, and the expression on her face was not angry, nor like a smile, but a kind of condescending contempt, a kind of certainty that was under control.

It was a dream of all kinds, and at this moment, he was the hunter, and she was his caged bird, and the frog in the well, and he looked at her with a malicious cruelty—because not long ago she had looked at her twin sister with such cruel gaze, and had slowly rubbed a peeled yam over the delicate skin of her chest while she bathed.

Wei Qihua once heard the maid say that the mucus of the yam will make the hands that have been touched itch for a long time, and I think it is strange and interesting, and I am looking for someone to try, so it happens that there is a country girl at home who is often in a daze, and she can play tricks with her.

"I—I just watch her often be in a daze and play with her," Wei Qihua was so nervous that his tongue stiffened when he spoke, this was the first time in his life, "Actually, it's not that interesting, I'm just tired of playing, I won't play with her in the future, I, I promise!" Under Wei Yejian's smiling gaze, she used all her strength after saying these words.

Wei Yechen chuckled lowly, Wei Qihua breathed a sigh of relief, he laughed, does it mean that he is not angry about that country girl?

I didn't expect that a country girl would pull such a backer a few days after coming to the house, and she used such an intimate title, and she knew that the relationship was not ordinary when she heard it. I didn't expect the country girl to look innocent on the surface, but she was actually a little bitch!

I have to say that Wei Qihua's understanding of Wei Yechen is too shallow.

People who have a superficial understanding of Wei Yejian's temperament, such as Ji Xuan and Ji Qing, every time they see him smiling so badly, they will avoid as far as they can from the tenth-level storm in the posture of avoiding it. This is when Wei Yechen is preparing to kill, killing one person in ten steps and not leaving a thousand miles, the strong oppression brought by the aura exuded by his body is not within the scope of human beings.

Wei Yechen only laughed, but Wei Qihua heard men's ridicule from all sides of the room, I wonder if it was an auditory hallucination?

The next moment, Wei Qihua saw a trembling little mouse, the newborn kind, which was pulled by Wei Yechen by the tail and put on her nose, this can't be an illusion!

The thing was fluttering right in front of my eyes, the white hairs were so distinct that I could see the blood vessels under the hairs, and if it was a nightmare, it would be too real!

Wei Qihua's eyes widened in fear, what the hell is this!

Why did it appear in her boudoir!

She hated, hated this dirty, ugly thing!

"Shh Wei Yechen raised his lips with his fingers, signaling Wei Qihua to silence. He spoke softly, like any brother who loves his sister, and advised his sister, "Be quiet, the maids are asleep at this time, and you are so noisy that they can't rest, how can they have the spirit to serve you tomorrow?" ”

Wei Qihua was completely frightened, and said to forgiveness: "Second brother, I am also your sister, you can't be so partial to that country girl......"

"Country girl?" Wei Yechen hooked his lips, "Is this the nickname you gave her?" It's very apt, although your faces look the same, but you don't look like her at all, you are willful like a princess. As he said this, the little thing that could only move slowly moved down and came to Wei Qihua's mouth, "And she, just a simple country girl, has never hurt anyone, how can you bear to hurt her." ”

Wei Qihua begged: "Good second brother, you, you take this thing, I promise not to bully her again in the future!" ”

"I'm very grateful to Wei Shangshu and his wife, who decided to send Xiaoqin away, otherwise today, maybe she will become a woman like you." Wei Yechen grabbed Wei Qihua's jaw with one hand, and stuffed the thing directly into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it with unmerciful force.

He slowly announced, "Wei Qihua, you can't even compare to a single hair of her, you can't even compare to the ground where she is standing under her feet, you are only worthy of being in the company of mice." ”

Wei Qihua swallowed the thing, his face wrinkled, tears and snot coming out.

The terrible silence lasted for a moment, and Wei Yechen kindly told her, "Don't worry, it can live in your womb for a day before it dies." But listen to Xiaohua, next time you dare to approach Xiaoqin within a radius of thirty zhang, touch her finger again, and I will bring such a thing to you again. Next time I won't feed you it, next time, I'll put it in from under you. ”

Wei Qihua, who was still and did not move, suddenly felt something move in his abdomen, and a terrible touch spread from his body to the outside.

"Ahhh

Wei Qihua jumped up from the bed and jumped to the ground like a fly, as quickly as if he had suddenly learned light skills. She shouted and danced wildly, her voice was as terrible as a ghost, and her despair was like an abyss, attracting a group of maids and Mrs. Shangshu.

Wei Yechen finished reading the whole thing with cold eyes without emotion, and then retreated, and everyone in the room was unaware.

********

A few days after this incident, Wei Qihua saw the figure of the country girl Xiaoqin from a distance and turned around and left, and even the guzheng, flute, and dong flute related to the "qin", which were originally placed in her room as decoration, were all thrown out, and she couldn't even see them.

Fortunately, Xiaoqin had a moment of peace, but there was another thing that made her very sad but helpless.

On Yunwu Mountain, Oxfam Water Pavilion and people from several other sects came to Wei Mansion to see Xiaoqin, and asked for an explanation about the death of Master Jingyi. Wei Shangshu was not a hospitable host, and when the housekeeper came to report to him, after a little consideration, he asked a group of nurses to stop him.

Not only did Xiaoqin not see her senior sisters, but because she hid it too well, she didn't even hear about it in the back house.

Later, there was a big fuss, and Wei Shangshu directly transferred 500 soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion in the name of "mob attacking court officials", and surrounded Wei Mansion in three layers, so that those Yunwu Mountain people could enter without gaps. Even Wei Qihua heard about these conflicts, and went to the outer courtyard to watch the excitement, but no one in the family told Xiaoqin.

Two months later, the people who came to investigate the death of Jingyi Shitai from Yunwu Mountain gradually dispersed, and only the three immortal aunts of Oxfam Water Pavilion were still in the capital.

They don't believe in evil, can Xiaoqin still hide in the house for the rest of her life and not show up? She is not a rabbit, but a tortoise?

********

Sure enough, half a month later, this day was the middle of July, the Midyear Festival. It is said that this day is the day when the underworld opens, and the deceased ancestors can return home for reunion, and the people call this day Halloween.

After the incident in the deserted village Yedian, Xiaoqin begged her second brother to collect her master's body, bring it back to Beijing, and find a good burial in Luoxingpo outside the city. She had never been to worship Sanqi and Wuqi, and now she happened to bump into the festival, so she begged her mother early in the morning to nod and allow her to go out of the city to worship the master.

Mrs. Shangshu knew that the people in Yunwu Mountain were making trouble, and she blamed Xiaoqin's head for the death of Master Jingyi, so she didn't want to ask her to worship. After thinking about it again, after all, Mrs. Shi raised Xiaoqin to grow up, master and apprentice, things were done too badly, the dead man was gone, although he didn't know anything, it made Xiaoqin sad and difficult to feel at ease. Besides, the group of Cloud Mountain thugs have been gone for more than two months, and they won't trouble Xiaoqin anymore.

So Mrs. Shangshu ordered the memorial items, sent a few reliable grandmothers to follow, and let Xiaoqin go out of the house.

As soon as the group left the house, they were stepped on by Xiaoqin's three senior sisters, and the three senior sisters did not show up, but they were far away, and they came to Luoxingpo outside the city, in front of a lonely grave of Mrs. Jingyi.

Xiaoqin put out the vegetarian food, fruit wine, sandalwood, paper money, firecrackers, paper guqin and other things she prepared one by one, and asked the grandmothers who came with her to wait in the long pavilion a little farther away, and then opened her mouth to talk to her master.

"Master, although I don't remember it clearly, I know that it was you who protected and saved the apprentice, and the apprentice was able to stay alive. The apprentice has been learning the piano with you for ten years, and has been cared for, loved, and passed on the art for ten years, looking back on the past, the apprentice is stubborn, lazy, and dull, and has only admiration for your exquisite piano sound, and even three percent can't imitate it. The apprentice always thinks, anyway, the master loves me, he is willing to teach me anything, and it will be good to learn slowly in the future, who would have expected that after the accident that night, the master died and ended in a tragic death, and there was no longer a long time to come to Japan. ”

After Xiaoqin finished saying these words in a choked voice, she poured fruit wine around the grave, and said, "Master, you are a master, and you often use 'Grass and grass, and you are not old; The wind and rain are like obscurity, who is life and death' words of 'death and life are small, and the Tao is great' to teach the disciples, the disciples did not understand it, and they were not convinced, thinking that these were the words of the master who was bound by the etiquette and law. ”

He poured a second pour of wine and continued, "Before you left that night, you told the disciple that there was still a catastrophe in the coming day, and if you felt afraid, you should recite these words. But I want to ask you, when we were about to set off, you made a divination, and then your face changed drastically—did you already expect that our trip back to Beijing would not go well? Otherwise, how could you pass on the mantle to me early, I haven't learned the song "Lanling Enters the Battle" at all, and it is still very ......early to leave the school."

The three senior sisters who were listening in the dark finally couldn't help but rush out, and one of them asked sharply, "What did Master pass on to you?" Hand it over! ”

Xiaoqin was taken aback, then calmed down and said, "Let's not make noise to the master, why don't we go to the Pillow Moon River at the other end to talk." ”

After saying that, she walked out first, and the three senior sisters frowned unhappily and followed, and one of them, Shan Yutang, snorted indignantly.

Xiaoqin came to the edge of the Pillow Moon River and took out a delicate lotus lamp from the bamboo basket, which was much larger than the ordinary lotus lamp. Legend has it that the lotus lantern can light the way home for the deceased, although Mrs. Jingyi's home is not here, but they all say that her family is home all over the world, and I believe that she will like the meteor shower that falls every three months.

"Say it!" Monolingual Tang raised his eyebrows and snorted, "What about what the master passed on to you?" What was her last word? ”

Xiaoqin sighed and said, "Master left in a hurry, and before leaving, he only cared about protecting me from being discovered by those villains, and he didn't leave any instructions. If it is about the successor of Oxfam Water Pavilion, when I was on the mountain before, Master said in front of everyone that he liked me, and I also resigned. After you go back, you can discuss and decide on the next presiding officer, and you don't have to count me as one. ”

At this time, the lotus lamp that Xiaoqin let go floated away, because the crystal base was too heavy, and gradually submerged into the river.

Another senior sister sneered: "You are everyone's lady, the daughter of Shangshu, of course it is not uncommon to be the host of a Taoist temple, and we cherish the position of host, you don't even bother to look at it." ”

Xiaoqin said: "Please don't misinterpret what I mean, senior sister, you started many years earlier than me, and you regard the Water Pavilion as your only home, and I have always been thinking about my parents in the capital, and I have long planned to come back, so I dare not accept the position of host." ”

"Since you don't dare to agree, take out what the master gave you!" Monoyutang said coldly.

"That's what Master gave me." Xiaoqin did not deny that Mrs. Shi had given her such things. If she had denied it today, she might not have suffered a violent death in the future. But how could she have expected that there was more than one pair of ears eavesdropping in the dark.

Shan Yutang sneered: "That's Oxfam Water Pavilion's things, you are no longer from Water Pavilion, and you still keep our sect's things, isn't it too shameless!" Hand it over! ”

Xiaoqin said: "A few days before the master left, she had expected that misfortune was coming, and she entrusted this thing to me, and said that it was a bad thing and asked me to dispose of it. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't hand it over, don't want to leave here!"

"But I have already disposed of it in accordance with my master's instructions."

"What?!" The three senior sisters are round-eyed.

"Senior sister, please look," Xiaoqin turned around, "it's in the lotus lamp I just let go." ”

The over-heavy lotus lamp had sunk into the water half a quarter ago.
