Chapter 153: Accompanying the Spirit
For three days, the rain and thunder continued day and night. It seems that the heavens are uneven for the death of the orb.
Zhuzhu and Yuping sent Yu Qi to the house where Baozhu used to live, accompanied him for a while, and then left.
The living room where Baozhu lives every day, and now, the white spirit flags are hung all over the house. In the west-facing direction, a coffin is placed vertically, and the coffin is covered with a green cloth. The coffin rests on two benches.
In front of the coffin, a desk is erected, and three incense sticks are placed horizontally on the desk, with incense in the middle and candles on both sides. There was a treasure of money burned under the table, which was reserved for the jewel to use after death.
When Yu Qi came in, his eyes were white, the lights were clearly extinguished, he was in a trance, the atmosphere was extremely weird and terrifying, and when he stepped into the door, he was choked by a smell of money and incense and candles, and coughed again and again.
Zhuzhu said to her, "Mrs. told me to think more for the girl. The things for the night should be prepared for the girl, so that the girl could use them whenever she needed them, and lo and behold, the mat was renewed, and a basket of incense and candles was added. It was raining outside, and it was cold at night, and my wife said that if the girl was more energetic, she would put more money, and the fire would not be cold. ”
Yu Qi nodded, and followed the place indicated by the orb to see that there was indeed a new mat on the ground.
Only then did he walk over, and said again: "Mrs. said that the girl is not designated to stand on her knees, it all depends on the girl's mind." Since it is to accompany the spirit, it is good to mourn for a while, so as to show the sincerity of coming here. ”
Yu Qi looked at the pearl and said, "I'm here alone?" ”
Actually, Yu Qi was afraid of being alone here. But anyone who is alive is afraid of being in the same room with the dead, right? What's more, she's still a girl's family.
Zhuzhu said: "Yuping and I will accompany the girl for a while, because we keep it for a few days, my wife feels sorry for us, and has asked us to rest as soon as possible, if the girl is not used to it, we will accompany it for a while." In the second half of the night, the girl had to watch by herself. ”
Yu Qi said: "That...... Mrs. didn't arrange anyone else? ”
Jiang Zhu shook his head, turned his eyes slightly to look at Yuping, Yuping lowered his head and eyes in a not very happy manner, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Yu Qi stopped asking.
She slowly squatted down on the edge of the mat, her knees close to the ground, and she leaned slightly and placed her knees flat in the middle of the mat, half-squatting and half-kneeling. Then, Chu Chu tearful, stared at the green cloth on the coffin, and said: "My sisters worked hard, it was my fault, and I bothered my sisters." If my sister is tired, then she will rest first, and I will just keep it by myself. ”
In the end, she said it against her will. Yes, it's right to be afraid, but you can't let these girls underestimate themselves.
After that, Jiang Zhu and Yuping nodded, put a stick of incense on their heads in front of the treasure bead coffin, and cried for a while before leaving.
On this night, there was nothing but the sound of rain. In this situation, there should be someone who pours incense and tea, after all, she is still a girl from Zhuangfu. However, it didn't. There is only one night of fear, and one night of rain and sadness.
finally survived until the next day, when she saw Zhuzhu and Yuping, Yu Qi couldn't help but ask them: "After these days, is my wife willing to let me go?" ”
Drop the bead and shake his head.
Yuping said: "Girl, didn't Mrs. let you come to the girl, didn't she let you come out?" The wife also said, why didn't you hear the girl's repentance, and asked us, the girl cried last night? ”
Yu Qi didn't understand the meaning of Yuping's words. First of all, let's put it out, is this counting? Secondly, to say repentance, to regret the death of the orb? If regret can resurrect people, do you still have to die? Do you still hate Zhuang Mansion like this? Finally, did you cry last night? Last night, she didn't cry.
Last night, I devoted myself to fear and cried without intention.
The Yuping girl said very bluntly, and she never left her any face. It can be seen how much the death of Baozhu hit the county lord and how deep the county lord's resentment was towards her.
Yu Qi suddenly felt that his situation was more desolate than the jewel, although some people died glorious, some people should be ruined alive, the former is the jewel, the latter is himself, right now, isn't that the case? What an unbearable identity comparison! She is an eldest lady, but she has to cry filial piety for a girl's dead guard! If it is spread out, it will be a legend, and pigs and dogs will not believe it.
Yu Qi hated a lot of tears, tears rose and heated in his eyes, overflowing, sliding down his cheeks, chin, dripping on the folds of his clothes, kneeling on the mat......
Think about this day.
Early in the morning, the county lord sent someone to bring food, and in the afternoon, he sent tea and snacks. She herself also said to herself: "How can you think about revenge if you don't eat enough?" No matter how much you despise them, you have to eat their things to earn strength to continue to despise them! ”
As the sun sets, it's time to eat.
The pearl didn't come, only Yuping came, and said to Yu Qi: "Mrs. asked the girl, are you sleepy for a day?" If you are sleepy, please ask the girl to rest on Sister Baozhu's bed for a while, she is full of energy, and she has to keep it at night. The girl doesn't have to go out to eat for dinner, she still uses it here. Later, we'll bring it to the girl. ”
Yuping is here to report and pass the word, and there is no emotion. After speaking, without waiting for Yu Qi to say anything, she had already turned out the door.
Still, that's it. Yu Qi sighed in his heart.
Because he was really sleepy and physically and mentally tired, Yu Qi couldn't wait to lie on the ground and sleep hard. If it was feasible, she was willing to lie in the green cloth coffin for Baozhu at this moment, and she would never be able to sleep.
She endured support, and several times when drowsiness came, she unconsciously closed her eyes and leaned down. It rose and fell several times, but still no light was seen.
Finally, she fell asleep, still so frightened and scared.
I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly, I heard someone calling me.
Yu Qi opened his eyes tiredly, and saw in a daze that the people who came were Zhuzhu and Yuping, and the two of them held a tray, which contained melons, fruits, vegetables, and broth.
Zhuzhu said with a smile: "The girl is too sleepy, so she falls asleep, get up and eat something, otherwise, the stomach will not be able to hold on to the long night." ”
Yu Qi nodded in thanks.
They helped her up, found her a chair to sit on, and brought her food. She was about to eat when suddenly, there was a "sudden" sound in her ears.
Yu Qi was frightened and raised his eyes to look ahead.
In front of it was the coffin of the orb, which was shaking and making a loud noise.
Yu Qi rubbed his eyes vigorously and tried to say to himself: "This is an illusory realm, and it is never true." And the voice was so loud that she had to believe it. She hurriedly turned her head to look at Zhuzhu and Yuping, and said, "Two sisters, did you hear that?" ”
Zhuzhu's eyebrows furrowed, as if he didn't understand.
Yuping smiled, covered her mouth, and said, "What did the girl hear?" ”
Yu Qi pointed to the coffin and said, "Sister Baozhu is knocking inside, I'm afraid I'm not dead, right?" Hurry up and call someone to open it and take a look! ”
Zhu and Baozhu looked at Yu Qi with wide eyes, their faces full of incredulity, and they looked nervously at the coffin.
Yu Qi said again: "Sister, call someone quickly!" It's too late. ”
Jiangzhu shook her head and said to Yuping: "The girl is crazy, I think we can go back and tell my wife." ”
When Yu Qi heard this, he threw down the food and other things, and said angrily: "Sister Baozhu is beating in the coffin, didn't you hear? Why don't you want to save her? Why? ”
Yuping said: "What did the girl say, Sister Baozhu's death was caused by you, why are we unwilling to save her?" ”
Yu Qi said "no, no, no", pushed away the beads and jade screens, rushed to the coffin, raised his arms, grabbed the green cloth on the coffin, and lifted it hard. Beneath the green cloth is a pair of red coffin boards.
She pressed her head and face against the coffin board.
Obviously, hearing it more clearly, there were bursts of slapping in the coffin, as well as the sound of breathing, and the sound of calling.
Yu Qi slapped the board, responded, turned his head to Jiangzhu and Yuping, and said, "Did you hear that?" Do you hear that? ”
Jiang Zhu and Yu Ping were terrified, and repeatedly said that Yu Qi was crazy.
Yu Qi ignored them, held his breath, and pushed the lid of the coffin.
The lid of the coffin was pushed inch by inch, and a pitch-black opening slowly opened. Yu Qi said to the mouth: "Sister Baozhu, don't worry, I rescued you." You wait for me. ”
Before he finished speaking, there was a thunderstorm outside, and Yu Qi turned his head in fright, but it was pitch black outside, and the thunder was no more. When he turned his head back, he saw a bone finger sticking out of the coffin and covering the back of Yu Qi's hand.
Suddenly, Yu Qi took two steps back in fright and fell to the ground, just in time, he heard the voices of Jiangzhu and Yuping shouting outside the door: "Girl! The wife is here! ”
When Yu Qi heard that the county lord was coming, he crawled out on his knees and called, "Mrs., Mrs." Madame save me! ”
She tried hard to climb out, maybe too scared, tears were too sharp, so that her vision was blurred, she couldn't see clearly, only to see a few vague figures outside the door, if she left, no matter how to go, she couldn't walk in front of her, and gradually disappeared outside in the rainy night.
Yu Qi chased out and called: "Mrs., Mrs. save me, Sister Baozhu has become a ghost!" The ghost is back! ”
As soon as the voice stopped, a yin wind blew behind her, and the cool swept over the roots of her ears.
Then, hurry to the shoulder and grab a hand swimming.
Yu Qi slowly turned his head and held his breath. I didn't finish my head, but I saw it. She saw Baozhu standing behind her with her hair scattered, her face covered with blood, her mouth wide open and grinning at her, and said, "Miss Qi! ”
Yu Qi's "ah" scream! Reaching out and grabbing it, he wanted to catch Jiangzhu, Yuping, the county lord and others who had just stood there.
Luckily, she caught it.
At this moment, Jiang Zhu held Yu Qi's hand and said with concern: "Wake up, girl!" Wake up, girl! ”
Yu Qi opened his eyes. It turned out to be a nightmare.
Look at the coffin of the jewel again, quietly, silently.
Yuping said: "Dinner is coming, the girl is kneeling to eat, or is she going to eat on the table over there?" ”
Looking up, I saw a tray in Yuping's hand, a bowl of white rice and a stack of green vegetables on the plate. Yu Qi thought to himself: Strange, what they brought just now was not this, there was also meat, and there was soup! How did you change it?
The wind blew in from outside, and the lights in the house flickered more and more.
Yu Qi was blown and his mind cleared up in an instant. She replied, "I eat on my knees." ”
