"It's just beating my flesh and bones away, that's what they say. After that, they all turned into skeletons, and no one spoke, and they were left to fight. ”

"It's me who shouldn't have let you come here." Qi Xiaoting regretted it, and her voice became astringent.

"If I don't come, the lives of her mother and daughter won't be saved."

Old man Mei said and sighed: "Ahem, let's be honest with you, it's also a matter of time or time!" Several of my colleagues died unexplained, and when their bodies were found, they were ulcerated all over their bodies, and their flesh was like water wrapped in their skin. It seems that they hit it. ”

Qi Xiaoting nodded.

She believed Old Man Mei's words, because she had witnessed the wrath of the ghosts and the power of the skeletons. Moreover, Old Man Mei was beaten and his whole body ulcerated!

"I've already given you medicine, you can rest well tonight, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Qi Xiaoting put ghost charms on the doors and windows of the west wing room before leaving. I found a piece of flat land in the east wing, and the quilt skyrocketed, so I managed to make do with it for a night.

The next morning, Qi Xiaoting and Old Man Mei had breakfast at Mrs. Yun's house. I made a pot of cornmeal porridge, hot cornmeal nests, and a plate of old pickles and shredded vegetables to accompany the rice. Old Lady Yun said apologetically: "There is no other food, so I have to wronged you." ”

Old man Mei said, "That's good. ”

Ambergris herbal water is ambergris herbal water, and Old Man Mei is no longer in serious trouble, and there is no sign of beating on his face. In order to cover up the fact of last night, Old Man Mei got up early in the morning, and ate with Qi Xiaoting and Old Lady Yun in the North House.

After breakfast, Yan Lanzhu's mother and daughter came over with Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue was still carrying a bag of paper, and said to Qi Xiaoting very optimistically: "It's been so many years, it's time to break it."

"In this way, I will first go to our family's homestead to burn it, and I will do it (pray) for it, and then let Lanzhu burn some dark coins to make amends for my in-laws' sins. After that, look for it as you wish. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Actually, it's very simple to find, as long as you smear a drop of blood from the descendants of the Jing family on the search talisman, you can find it quickly." It's just that Miss Cuihua has to endure the pain. Just prick it with a needle and squeeze out a little. ”

When Jing Cuihua heard that she was going to use her blood, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Yan Lanzhu.

Yan Lanzhu stroked the hair curtain on her forehead and said, "It's okay, uncle's piercing doesn't hurt." It's like when you prick your finger when you learn to embroider, and it's good for a while. ”

Qi Xiaoting took out a hand-twisted gourd and said to Jing Cuihua: "This is a painkiller potion, after piercing, it won't hurt immediately if you apply a little bit." This little gourd is returned to you. ”

Seeing this, Jing Cuihua trembled and stretched out the fingers of her right hand.

Qi Xiaoting asked Mrs. Yun for a sewing needle, pricked it lightly on Jing Cuihua's little finger, squeezed out a drop of blood like a mung bean grain, and smeared it on a prepared search talisman. He pulled out the hand twisted gourd and wiped the eye of the needle with the trowel on it.

In fact, Qi Xiaoting had a needle in the space, and in order to pretend to be some, she decided to "borrow" it from Mrs. Yun. After all, there are very few men who bring their own needles and threads.

"Mom, it really doesn't hurt at all." Jing Cuihua touched the needle with her hand and said happily to Yan Lanzhu.

Yan Lanzhu: "Your uncle is a half-immortal, and it doesn't hurt to pierce it." ”

Qi Xiaoting smiled secretly: "My 'uncle' is a sure deal." ”

He handed the hand-twisted gourd to Jing Cuihua: "In the future, if there is one that bumps and touches, or pierces your fingers when embroidering, wipe a little, and a wipe is good." ”

Jing Cuihua saw that the gourd was small and exquisite, and she didn't know the value of the potion inside, she liked the gourd more than the potion inside, and she couldn't put it down.

"Aunt Xue, let me ask you something: When your family was still prosperous more than thirty years ago, did you sell a maid in your grandmother's house?" Qi Xiaoting was worried about the heavy snow in her heart, and couldn't help asking.

Aunt Xue said without thinking: "Sold." I remember it really. It was because the girl broke a vase in the big woman's house, and the big woman refused to give up, so she called the housekeeper to call the tooth woman and took it out and sold it.

"At that time, it was all said at home that the big woman was too ruthless, and because of a vase, she sold a girl alive."

Qi Xiaoting deliberately pulled on the eldest young master, and asked, "The eldest young master is also willing?" ”

Aunt Xue: "The young master doesn't care about this kind of thing. Besides, he can't control it, and everyone doesn't listen to him. The eldest concubine's mother's family is more powerful than her mother-in-law's family, and she can't talk and do things, so I and the second family stay away from her, and we have a few verbal words when we meet. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "The eldest young master has never taken a concubine?" ”

Aunt Xue: "Yes." It is said that it was the old lady who made the master. The eldest concubine gave birth to two daughters in a row, and the eldest was anxious to take a concubine and give birth to a son. The eldest concubine was not allowed, so she made trouble with the old lady, and the old lady was stunned and gave the eldest two concubines. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "How is the eldest young master to the maid?" Is there anything he likes? I heard that the young masters of big families want a lot of maids! ”

Aunt Xue: "That's true, there are a lot of people who accept maids into the room." However, I haven't heard of the boss's rumors. ”

Looks like this is a bit mysterious!

Qi Xiaoting thought to herself. didn't give up, and further cleverly said: "Because you sell a maid because of a vase, it's not worth it!" Suppose that if the eldest young master falls in love with this maid, the two of them also have an ambiguous relationship, and the eldest young grandmother found out and sold the maid in a fit of anger, which is still in the past. ”

Aunt Xue smiled: "It's already in the past, what are you still 'assuming' doing?" Cough. Whether it's a hypothetical or a real thing, so many years have passed, and the family and people are gone, so what's the point of calling it true. ”

Qi Xiaoting couldn't ask any clues when she saw it, so she simply came to the real thing - all the things were revealed:

"Aunt Xue, let's be honest with you, I really inquired about a copy. It is said that it was the eldest young master who fell in love with this maid and had already possessed her. When it was time to close the house, the young grandmother quit, and it happened that the maid broke a vase in her house, and the young grandmother sold the maid under the pretext of this.

But at this time, this maid was already pregnant with the eldest young master's child. The person who bought her went back and gave it to an older long-term worker as a daughter-in-law, and seven months later, gave birth to a son.

Changgong knew that this son was not his, but considering that he was old, he knew that he couldn't even keep his daughter-in-law, so he raised this child as his own.

Now the child is thirty-three years old, and he has two sons who have died. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep the roots of my offspring, so I found a fortune teller to tell a fortune for myself. The fortune teller said that if he did not recognize his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he would not be able to support his son for a long time.

When his mother heard this, she told him the truth. He knew the situation of the Xue family, and he didn't have any evidence to prove that he was a descendant of the Xue family, so he asked me to find a way to help him realize this wish. ”

Aunt Xue was stunned: "You mean, our Xue family still has descendants living in the world?" ”

Qi Xiaoting nodded: "Yes, and it is two generations, and this child has added another son." ”

Yan Lanzhu interjected: "Speaking of which, he is still your own nephew." ”

Aunt Xue said happily: "Not really! If I really want to recognize my ancestors and build the old house, I will come back to live, and someone will send me when I am old. Then he said to Qi Xiaoting: "Master, tell me quickly, where is this child?" ”

Qi Xiaoting smiled: "I have promised him, I am not sure that I will recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and I will not reveal his village and name to anyone." Because it wasn't a very shameful thing for him, especially his mother. ”

Aunt Xue thought for a while: "Yes, after all, it's not Ming Media who is marrying." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "The point is that there is no evidence. ”

Aunt Xue: "What about his mother?" Even after all these years, I still remember what she looks like. When I see her, I might recognize her. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "His mother is no longer alive. ”

"Ahem, the only witness is gone!" Aunt Xue said with annoyance.

"So, now it's up to this man's mouth to say it?" Old Lady Yun interjected.

Qi Xiaoting nodded: "So to speak." ”

Old Mrs. Yun: "I think this matter has to be cautious." Don't fall in love with this large mansion here, there are more than 1,000 acres of land, pretending to be the descendants of the Xue family to occupy it. ”

Aunt Xue: "He doesn't recognize his ancestors, and he is idle here, and he scares people with ghosts and demons!" ”

Grandma Yun: "You can't say that, you can be idle, if someone comes to occupy it, there will be more to say." Now most of the people in the village are planting your family's land. Some of the wealthy families who moved out also planted in the neighboring villages.

"If he confesses his ancestors, he will have to take them back. If the people in the village are not convinced, they must ask him to produce conclusive witness evidence, and I think it will almost be impossible to do it. He can't convince everyone without evidence, even if he recognizes his ancestor, he can't stay here, and the people in the village can drown him with saliva. ”

Aunt Xue: "It's true!" He asked Qi Xiaoting again: "What do you see?" Is there any special way not to. ”

Qi Xiaoting shook her head.

She really couldn't think of any other way. As soon as Mrs. Jingyun said this, she also felt that there was no way to start this matter, so she dispelled the idea of helping him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. I thought: Give him a few more hands of twisted gourd ambergris herbal water, and bless his son to grow up smoothly.

"Alright, that's all for now. I am a Xiangguan'er, and the questions asked by the pilgrims are strange, and there are always a few implementations. I can understand the feelings of both sides. ”

After talking about something else for a while, Aunt Xue went to the old house. She went alone, in her words, this is her personal matter, as the only surviving descendant of the Xue family, it is not good to let others follow.

"Do you think I'm missing all this burning paper?"

After Aunt Xue left, Yan Lanzhu took out the prepared burning paper and asked Qi Xiaoting. Because she saw that Aunt Xue took more burnt paper than hers.

Qi Xiaoting saw those ghosts last night, there are indeed a hundred and dozens of them, and a ghost can't tell half a piece.

"That's it," Qi Xiaoting said to Yan Lanzhu, "Buy some more gold leaf paper and fold some ingots." Even this time, give them more generously to dispel their resentment! ”
