Chapter 674: Confinement and Listening to Strange Voices
As soon as Mint finished serving the changing clothes and washing, Mrs. Su couldn't wait to come to the door, and Meng Yu, who was ranked eleventh, helped his mother, repeatedly persuaded him, and did the "righteous act" of extinguishing the fire, so when she came to the bamboo garden, Mrs. Su was not so angry. But there were still traces of heartache, and I only heard her ask: "But you ordered the well to be filled, but you killed my cat?" ”
He Angelica nodded at a loss.
Meng Yu hurriedly said: "That cat is a foreign species, its fur is snow-white, it is a birthday gift from the Duchess of Yasukuni, such a cute little thing, sister-in-law, you must not have killed it on purpose, right?" ”
He Angelica nodded again.
Mrs. Su recalled the voice and smile of the little white cat, and couldn't help but wipe her tears with a handkerchief.
Meng Yu persuaded: "The deceased is gone, so don't be too sad for your mother." Yesterday, I heard that the kitten was dying when it fell into the well, and my sister-in-law's approach could not be wrong, not to mention ......" He got closer and quietly told Mrs. Su, "Seventh brother's days in Beijing are short, so I want to fulfill my mother's wish before leaving." Please ask the mother to open up to her sister-in-law for the sake of her unborn grandson. ”
Mrs. Su wiped away her tears, and before leaving, she instructed: "Come on, take Grandma Seven to the Buddha Hall to copy the scriptures a hundred times, and overdo it for the dead snow-haired cat!" ”
So, He Angelica lived in the wing room of the Buddhist hall in the West Courtyard and began her years of copying scriptures.
After copying for two days in a row, she didn't see Meng Xuan come to her, which couldn't help but make her a little strange, because Meng Xuan also heard the situation that night, and she was definitely not to blame for the cat's death. Even if someone didn't deliberately kill the cat and frame her, it was Aunt Mei Yuanjun and Aunt Bao who saw that Mrs. Su's cat had fallen to death in the well in their garden, and they were afraid of taking responsibility, so they transferred the blame to her with the assistance of Diao Nu Yang Mama.
According to Meng Xuan's temperament, after thinking about it, she should explain it to Mrs. Su as soon as possible, and then come to the Buddhist hall to pick her up. Unless, Meng Xuan couldn't bear to deal with the two aunts, thinking that she was just copied and had nothing to lose, so she decided to let her carry this black pot and settle the matter. Perhaps, the two aunts relied on Meng Xuan's maintenance to frame the main room so blatantly.
Thinking of this, He Angelica's chest was stuffy, as if a person who couldn't drink alcohol poured a sip of soju. She waited stupidly for two days, and it turned out that in the one-on-two competition, her weight was not enough.
stayed until the fourth day, and no one came to visit her, which made He Angelica wonder. Even if others ignore her, Qing'er will not fail to come to see her, holding her hand and scolding those villains, and then telling her interesting things outside.
These images are vivid as if they were happening right in front of your eyes, but they never happened once. The Buddha hall was as quiet as if it was another world, in addition to her, there was another elderly woman, who entered the Buddha room every day, and none of them spoke to anyone, one copied the scriptures, the other twisted the Buddha beads, and tacitly maintained the peace here.
Although He Angelica didn't recognize the woman, he probably guessed who she was.
It is reported that Baoding Hou Mengshan has an original wife, whose surname is Hehe, and she is also the daughter of a nobleman. When Meng Shan was young, he went to the southwest to quell the chaos, and was knocked on the head by a golden gun on the battlefield, lost his memory, and was separated from all his subordinates, all the way to Jiangbei, and became a beggar begging along the street.
Meng Shan's subordinates returned to the court, and Emperor Shangqi said that the commander was missing and asked for reinforcements to rescue the men. When the Meng family's Hehe clan heard the news, they couldn't hold it back. Meng Shan is a big official, she is a four-grade fate, as soon as Meng Shan dies, she has to be widowed for a lifetime and cannot remarry. He He didn't know whose bad idea he had heard, and when the news of Meng Shan's death did not come, he handed out the book and left the book first, and the volume was covered and returned to his parents' house.
On the other hand, the daughter of the Su family in Jiangbei is beautiful and is a talented woman chased by everyone, she fell in love with Meng Shan, who was a beggar, not only married him to the cave house, but also asked the famous doctor to heal Meng Shan's head.
After being cured, Meng Shan remembered that he was Baoding Bo, and there was a Hehe lady waiting for him at home, so he took the new lady back to Beijing. On the way, he may have a lot of regrets for Mrs. Su, because when she arrives in the capital, Mrs. Su has to become a concubine.
After arriving home, I found that Hehe had "given up" the seat in the main room, and Mrs. Su became the housemother when she started. Moreover, such a ruthless and unrighteous woman left, Meng Shan did not regret it, and lived sweetly with Mrs. Su. It wasn't until three years later that Hehe remarried someone else, and the groom died suddenly on the way to the wedding, her husband's family refused to accept her, and her mother's family refused to let her return, Hehe was homeless, ran into the woods and hanged himself, and was rescued by Meng Shan back to Meng's family.
Since then, there has been an additional concubine surnamed Hehe in Mengfu, who has lived in the Buddhist hall for many years, and is probably the woman in front of her.
He Angelica quietly studied Hehe's physiognomy, there was a deep vertical line in the center of his eyebrows, and his cheekbones were extremely high, and he was a widow of Kefu. Now the evening scene is bleak, and there is not even a maid to serve around, so it cannot but be said that the Hehe clan is to blame.
But there's no need to laugh at others, isn't she the same herself?
Tossing and turning at night and not sleeping, He Angelica faintly heard a strange sound, there was the sound of rushing water, and the sound of chirping, which sounded like a very rude gnawing and chewing.
Strange, there are only her and Heheshi in the Buddhist hall, could it be that Heheshi eats in the middle of the night?
The sound was getting louder and louder, and there was the sound of chewing bones, which made people's scalps tingle, and He Angelica put on his clothes and went to inspect it. The sound really came from Hehe's wing, He Angelica lit a small hole in the window paper, and looked through the hole, but the room was empty!
The sound of water and chewing continued, as if it was separated by a wall, could it be that this house had a secret room, and Hehe Shi worshipped the Buddha on the surface, but in fact he ate in the secret room every night?
Driven by curiosity, He Angelica walked into the wing room and gently tapped on the four walls to find the entrance to the secret room. She noticed a scratch under the candlestick of the incense case, and tried to turn it, and sure enough, the east wall slowly turned open a stone door.
Walking through the stone door, she walked in the darkness for about a quarter of an hour, and the sound in her ears became louder and louder, and when she reached the stone room at the end, she saw the most unbelievable scene.
In the middle of the stone room, there is a black pool of black water that is a few feet wide, and I saw Hehe wearing a bedclothes, taking a large bucket of oily roast chicken thighs to feed "a head".
The head took up the size of the room, and its skin was rough and wrinkled, black and greenish, like a turtle's head. The black eyes are the size of a bowl and have a pure look. All but the head is immersed in water, and as you eat, you make a splash.
The head alone occupies a large pool, so how big should the body beneath the water be? This turtle can be called an ancient divine beast!
Why does it appear in the Mon Mansion? Why does Hecher feed it in the middle of the night? Does anyone else in the Meng Mansion know?
Before He Angelica thought more, she felt a big fan-like palm poking out from behind, covering her mouth and nose, and the iron arm on the other side was around her waist, dragging her into the darkness. She struggled in panic, moving over the rock-solid body, only to find that the strength of the other party was beyond her control.
It was a strange male body, not Meng Xuan, nor Duan Xiaolou. So, she was kidnapped!
The man led her backwards in the secret passage and slashed at the back of her neck by surprise. She felt a pain in her neck, and her mind was slowly pulled into the darkness.
When she woke up again, she felt that the bed she was lying on was familiar, and when she turned her head again, she was extremely surprised, and said in a lost voice: "Gao Jue? You took me captive? Why! "Her hands and feet were tied with cow tendon ropes, and the way of tying them was very professional, which did not strangle her skin and did not allow her to break free.
This room is the place where she and Duan Xiaolou were injured last time and slept temporarily, and the five colorful faces still hung on the wall.
Gao Jue was dressed in a black night suit, with a face-covering cloth towel hanging from his strong neck, and a beard on his chin, and his face was unprecedentedly black. He ignored He Angelica, held a pot of wine in his hand, raised his head and poured it violently, and after drinking one pot after another, the empty wine jug was thrown out of the window.
For a whole night and a day, Gao Jue drank sullen wine and didn't talk to He Angelica, and only fed her a bowl of water in the middle. When night fell again, an uninvited guest visited the mansion. It's the Ice Man Gao Shenjun!
Gao Jue, who was full of alcohol, looked at each other coldly and asked, "What about my child?" ”
Gao Xianjun appeared to have serious injuries, with deep wounds in his throat and damage to his vocal cords. He said in a muffled ventriloquis: "Don't worry, those two sons are useless to the original appearance, and the original appearance only needs to be Angelica." ”
Gao Jue said slowly: "He Angelica is here, I want my child." ”
Gao Xianjun said with a tough attitude: "Give her to the prime minister, and tomorrow you will meet the person you want to meet." Don't talk nonsense, the prime minister has no patience to talk to you, and your children are also blood relatives of the prime minister, as long as you don't play tricks, they don't have to die. ”
After listening to this conversation, He Angelica finally understood that Gao Jue kidnapped her in exchange for a pair of children who were robbed, and the object of exchange was Gao Xianjun, who was afraid when she heard her name!
Although she knew that Gao Jue had a hard time, she still felt unacceptable that it happened to her, so she closed her eyes and didn't look at Gao Jue and the ice man. Feeling her body wrapped in a thick quilt, she was carried up like cargo again. She stumbled out of the room, feeling desperate and unsure who would come to her rescue.
"Wait!" Gao Jue shouted from behind.
Gao Shenjun's footsteps stopped, he turned his head and squinted and asked, "Do you regret it?" Don't you want the life of your own child? ”
"This," Gao Jue took off a yellow mask from the wall, threw it at Gao Shenjun, and said flatly, "When she dies, put this mask on her." ”
Gao Xianjun let out an impatient smacking sound, pressed his face on He Angelica's face, lifted his breath, and disappeared into the boundless night.
