Chapter 249: The Eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival (Part II)
Exploring the way at this time is the wisest choice for Yu Qi, because everyone in the Zhuang Mansion is busy for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they have no time to take care of anything else, let alone send someone to keep an eye on them.
Fortunately, all the way to Shizhai, no one followed him, and it was a blessing.
Yu Qi and Zisu thought in their hearts: The reason for picking mulberry leaves to cure diseases is really perfect, impeccable!
Who knows, this reason was "reprimanded" by Mr. Yao.
The moment he stepped into the door of Shizhai, Mr. Yao said: "Spring mulberry is bright and autumn mulberry is poisonous. How can this autumn mulberry be used in medicine? The reason for the girl to make up another is okay, she went into the mulberry leaf alone to cure the illness of the third master, this is passed out, if there is a long and short, how can I afford it? Isn't the girl going to be in the mud again? ”
These words frightened Yu Qi and Zisu into expressionlessness.
Zisu looked at Yu Qi very worriedly, and said, "The girl first ate mulberries here, isn't that poisoned?" ”
Mr. Yao laughed and shook his head silently. Looking at Mr. Yao's expression, Yu Qi was scared when he was scared. Entering the gate, seeing the scene in the stone house, Mr. Yao was very surprised, this is very discordant with the landscape outside the house, there are many stones here, a pavilion is in the stone pile, it is very lonely, there are a few trees in the distance, but after autumn, the green leaves are dyed, the yellow fluttering is sparse, and it is extremely desolate. Zhuangfu has the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is draped in satin and hung with colors, which is very festive, and there is no festival atmosphere here.
Zisu was cautious, and after entering the door, he hurriedly hit the horizontal gate and died.
Mr. Yao was worried and was about to stop it, but Yu Qi persuaded: "Mr. don't worry, it's important to be able to guard against people's eyes, if someone reports and blames you, I will take all the responsibility." ”
But how to bear it? Yu Qi didn't think clearly at the moment, he just wanted to bring Mr. Yao to find out the path inside, besides, this place is desolate, and no one comes on weekdays. When she said this, she mostly appeased Mr. Yao's nervous heart.
Before entering the dry well, there was a rope hanging down, and this time the son came in, and he still had to find the rope. Yu Qi told Mr. Yao to go into the pavilion to get the rope, but who knows, Mr. was unusually nervous.
Zisu said: "The girl went to find the rope, and I took my husband to the well first and waited." ”
The soldiers were divided into two ways, Yu Qi entered the house to find a rope, and Zisu took Mr. Yao to the dry well. After a while, the three of them got together.
When the rope was hanging, Mr. Yao hesitated: "I heard the girl talk about the ghost mother's mother, she has a peculiar personality, and a stranger of mine suddenly visited, will it be more abrupt?" ”
Yu Qi smiled: "What does Mr. think is a guest? We're saving people! Sooner or later, don't you often say that Sir should think for me, everything is in my hands! I made up my mind and went all the way to the dark. Saving Sanxi is the first step. When I got inside, I told my mother that she was a temperamental person, but she was also reasonable. Please rest assured, sir. ”
Zisu didn't expect Mr. Yao to be such a person, and later, Zisu recalled today's events and always said: "Man, duplicity, you can't rely on a word!" ”
At this moment, Zisu faintly wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare, listening to Yu Qi's command. The three of them went down the well one after another. Go to the bottom of the well and turn over the leaves of the dry trees at the bottom of the well to find a lamp. The lamp is buried in the dead leaves. Light the lamp and go inside.
The road is tortuous, and it is finally the end.
Mr. Yao didn't say anything along the way. In the middle of the cavern, there is the heavenly light.
Mr. Yao said: "Girl, only this place has light, and the surroundings are pitch black, but there are snakes in ambush?" ”
Yu Qi smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, sir, the snake is friends with us and will not hurt you." ”
Zisu couldn't help but laugh twice.
At this moment, there was a slight sound in the dark, I don't know if it was a snake crawling, or something else. Yu Qi has been here a few times, and he is familiar with the crawling sound of snakes, but this sound is slightly heavier, unlike that of cold-blooded animals.
How can Mr. Yao and Zisu be prepared? I was so frightened that I shrank into the middle of the light.
Yu Qi's "shhhhhh
A few people held their breath and listened.
However, the sound suddenly stopped.
Yu Qi carried the lamp to the dark, inspected for a while, and came out to the two of them: "Maybe it's the wind blowing, there is no snake." ”
Before the words fell, two laughs came from the darkness not far away, and then the ghost mother's deep voice came: "Girl! What about the first visit? is so sneaky, more and more like the people of Zhuangfu! ”
Hearing the voice of the ghost mother, Yu Qi was full of joy and shouted again and again: "Mom! Mom! Is that you? ”
In the blink of an eye, the ghost mother came out and stood in front of Yu Qi.
As soon as the lantern shines, the shadow of a tree in yellow and white, who is not the ghost mother? Yu Qi was familiar with this shadow, and he was not afraid at all, but Mr. Yao and Zisu behind him took in a breath of cold air and choked out an exclamation.
When the ghost mother heard a man's voice, she was alert, stretched out her withered branch-like hand, grabbed Yu Qi's arm, and said hatefully: "Girl! Who did you bring in! ”
Yu Qi was scratched in pain, gritted his teeth and endured, and said, "Mom listens to me......"
The ghost mother's hand became heavier and heavier, and interrupted Yu Qi's words: "Sure enough, it's not my seed that can't sprout well!" Then he pushed Yu Qi violently.
Shock and pain hit at the same time, and the light in Yu Qi's hand was released and fell to the ground.
Zisu was afraid that the lights would go out, so he immediately rushed over to pick it up, straightened the lamp on the ground, protected the fire, and said, "Mom, it's me!" It's me! Sub-element. ”
The ghost mother frowned, still puzzled: "You? No! I also heard a man's voice. Say! You have come to deal with me with the people of the Zhuang Mansion? What benefits do the people of Zhuang give you! ”
Yu Qi explained: "Mom, no, no. Listen to me, Mom! ”
The ghost mother trembled with anger and said, "I don't have time to listen to your explanation!" Go into the belly of the serpent and explain! ”
After saying that, the ghost mother pushed Ku Qi onto the rock, if it weren't for Mr. Yao rushing to support him regardless of the danger, Yu Qi might have crashed into the stone and died.
Mr. Yao gasped, "You heard me right, there is indeed me." However, I'm not from Zhuangfu, I'm from the girl's side! ”
Yu Qi also hurriedly explained: "Mom, this is Mr. Yao, I mentioned it to you. Mom, you believe me, you believe me! We're here to get you out. Mr. Yao understands medical skills, I want Mr. Yao to treat your eyes......"
The ghost mother laughed, flashed, disappeared, and hid in a corner, only to hear a voice: "Those vicious schemes of the Zhuang Mansion were also deceived like this back then!" You're still lying to me! I'm so blind that I think you're a daughter, what a joke! ”
Yu Qi made a "poof", knelt on the ground fiercely, and said, "Mom, I was wrong!" I'll pay you no! However, Mr. Yao is really a good person, not a bad person. Mom, you think, Sanxi is here with you, who can I bring in! ”
The ghost mother said, "Oh! Then I know your mind better. Sanxi is here with me, you hate me for not curing her, so you called the people from the Zhuang Mansion to deal with me. ”
Yu Qi said: "No, no, no, Mom, no!" No! For a while, not knowing how to explain, she could only cry.
Perhaps, only crying can win the sympathy of the ghost mother, sympathy and trust her.
Zisu took pity on Yu Qi, begged a few words, and said, "Mom's suspicions are reasonable, so I think the same as my mother." But my mother is angry, so I'm waiting for us to finish talking! If you really get the snake out and eat us, what's the point of Mom getting to know us? The relationship between the mother and the girl is so thin? Can't wait for an explanation? ”
The ghost mother smiled: "What a good talker." I would have believed it years ago. Hum! Now, if you want me to believe it, you will kill the man for me, and I will believe you. ”
Yu Qi cried: "Mom! How can I say that you believe me! ”
The ghost mother said: "You still want me to believe you?" I'm afraid that even your family's Sanxi won't believe you at this moment! You say, why haven't you come to see us after going out for so long, did you spend time colluding with the people of Zhuangfu? ”
Yu Qi said: "Mom, if you really unite with people outside to deal with you, why should I wait until this moment? Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, we came in, one is looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, I want to see my mother, and the other is I want to discuss with my mother about going out. It's just that it came abruptly, we do have difficulties, my mother knows that there are many people in Zhuangfu, and we can't move an inch, so we can find a good time. I beg my mother to believe in me. ”
Saying this, the ghost mother believed it a little, muttered for a while, and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival? Look at me here, do you have anything to eat? ”
Yu Qi regretted it very much, he was in a hurry when he came, and he really didn't prepare to eat.
Zisu said: "To be honest, we didn't bring anything to eat. But, Mom, when you get out, you'll have whatever you want to eat. We have come today to discuss with you about going out. You've got to listen to us! ”
Mr. Yao also said: "Indeed, as the two girls said, please be clear and clear to your heart." ”
The ghost mother snorted a few times fiercely, and said angrily: "What an old man! Am I old? Where do you see that I'm old? He shouted loudly: "Girl, this cheap man's mouth stinks, you cut off his tongue, and I will believe you." ”
Mr. Yao was angry and sighed: "Girl, I just said that I couldn't get in, and sure enough! This man is unreasonable. ”
Yu Qi was embarrassed: "Mr. is angry. He kowtowed to the ground again and said, "Mom is also angry!" ”
Perhaps Mr. Yao's words worked, and the ghost mother was agitated, unusually calm, and said, "Well, I'm not reasonable, I want to hear what you can say." Say, give you a few words, if you don't convince me, I will order the snake baby to come out to eat the Mid-Autumn Festival! ”
The three of them were shocked.
At this moment, how to say it clearly in three words?
At the moment of urgency, Sanxi's voice floated in: "Girl, is it a girl?" ”
As if he saw a lamp in the dark, he immediately got up and shouted at the dark curtain in front of him: "It's me, it's me!" Sanxi, it's me! I'm coming to see you with Zisu and Mr. Yao! ”
There was a flurry of footsteps, popping, and as they approached, the footsteps stopped.
Sanxi was stopped by the ghost mother.
The ghost mother shouted, "You are going to die! ”
Sanxi cried: "Am I dreaming again? I think I hear the girl calling me! ”
The ghost mother said: "The little ghost of the king of Yama is calling you!" Are you going to die? ”
Sanxi heard it and cried.
Yu Qi was afraid that something would happen to Sanxi, so he quickly snatched the lamp from Zisu's hand and looked in the direction of the ghost mother's voice, and Zisu and Mr. Yao followed closely behind to protect.
Around the corner, behind the stone, I saw the ghost mother pulling Sanxi's hair and holding her dead.
Because of the lights, Sanxi saw the three people in front of him.
Sanxi exclaimed: "It's a girl, it's a girl!" Miss Su is also here, and Mr. Yao is also here! ”
Sanxi completely ignored the fact that his hair was twisted and grabbed, and he didn't care about the pain, and leaned over to Yu Qi's side.
The ghost mother's physical strength is weak, and she can't resist the madness of Sanxi, and then, with compassion, she lets go slightly. Sanxi threw himself into Yu Qi's arms like an arrow, crying profusely.
Yu Qi took this opportunity and said quickly: "Mom, you believe it this time!" ”
The ghost mother was helpless and said: "If Zuo is just a madman, what is credible!" ”
In this case, presumably Sanxi's illness is not complete.
Yu Qi said: "Mom, I won't say anything else, I just want to tell you that I am your daughter, and I will pick you up tomorrow." Come today, I'm just to tell you, please grieve for another day, and at this time tomorrow, Mr. Yao will come to save you and Sanxi out. ”
The ghost mother snorted twice, but she didn't say anything.
Mr. Yao was afraid that the ghost mother's murderous heart would not be extinguished, so he said: "What the girl said is true. We have worked so hard to wait for the day. ”
Only then did the ghost mother let go and said, "What kind of plan?" ”
Yu Qi thought, if she didn't tell her the ins and outs of her plans for the near future, she wouldn't believe it. So, she told how Zhuang Ying was sick, how the people of Zhuang Mansion were in a hurry, how she took this opportunity to introduce Mr. Yao into the mansion, and how she planned to collude inside and outside to wait for the opportunity to go underground to save people.
After listening to it in detail, the ghost mother fell into deep thought and doubt, and after a long time, she said, "Extremely stupid! How stupid! And expect me to believe in you, and if I hadn't persecuted you like this today, you would have wanted to hide it from me! ”
Yu Qi said: "Mom, I have absolutely nothing to hide. I'm telling the truth. ”
The ghost mother said: "It was the truth that I was struck by thunder!" I ask you, what did I say when I gave you the treasure that day? ”
Yu Qi was stunned and speechless. Yes, the snake gallstone is poison, and it is going to be used to take revenge on the people of Zhuangfu, but he uses it to save Zhuang Di! Wasn't it struck by lightning?
Yu Qi's knees were soft, and he knelt down slowly: "What my mother said is that I should be struck by thunder from the sky and enter the eighteenth layer of hell after death." I betrayed my mother's trust. ”
It is very sad and sincere.
Zisu was distressed and said with tears in her eyes: "It was my idea for the girl to save people with her mother's baby." I originally thought that as long as the third master didn't die, we could use the third master to do more things. The third master likes to be with the girl, we will plan it! Mom is going to blame, all blame me. ”
Yu Qi turned his head sharply and said to Zi Su: "Sister, it's none of your business!" ”
At this point, the ghost mother didn't want to say anything, so she quickly stretched out her hand and said, "Give me back the baby!" ”
I'm talking about snake gallstones. Yu Qi understands and is heartbroken. Does the ghost mother want to cut herself off?
Yu Qi was weak-hearted, and quickly took out the snake gall spar and handed it back to the ghost mother. After the ghost mother took it, she accepted it casually and said coldly: "In this way, you have seen me and Sanxi." You can go! ”
Yu Qi looked at Zisu and Mr. Yao tremblingly, and nodded, it can only be like this first.
Before leaving, Yu Qi hugged Sanxi and cried and advised: "Sanxi, you stay with your mother, and after today, Mr. will come in and take you out." When the time comes, you must serve your mother and go out with her. Got it? ”
Sanxi shook his head vigorously.
For the sake of safety, it is best for Yu Qi to withdraw first, and he has to keep Mr. Yao and Zisu. She pushed Sanxi away and beckoned Zisu and Mr. Yao to hurry up.
The ghost mother said, "If you want to take us out, will you come tomorrow?" ”
When Yu Qi heard this, he stopped his steps and replied: "Don't dare to hide it, mother, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to control the eyes of the people of Zhuangfu and make room for Mr. to save people, so I can't come." If I have the chance, I will let Zisu come with Mr. Yao. ”
The ghost mother said fiercely: "Okay! I believe in you! If you have a heart that violates heaven, I will tell you not to die well, first of all, the three happy girls will feed my snake! Girl, you know what it takes! ”
Yu Qi said: "Mom, don't worry, I Zhuo Yiting will not break my word!" I have the fate to inherit this kinship with my mother, and I will recognize my mother alone in this life! ”
After that, swallowed his tears and pulled Zisu out. Mr. Yao sighed and followed.
Behind him, Sanxi shouted heartbreakingly.
The three of them returned to the dry well and sat on the ground, exhausted.
Mr. Yao sighed: "Girl, the plan has changed! Negligent communication in advance! It's really thrilling! ”
Yu Qi said: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, and don't go into the tiger's den to get the tiger!" This is what my husband told me last year. It's the same thing today. Mr. Wang's fulfillment and support, Yiting has no teeth and will never forget Mr.'s great kindness! ”
After speaking, Yu Qi kowtowed.
