Chapter 50: You Can't Solve This Matter
After Mrs. Zeng finished speaking, her sleeves covered her face, and she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.
Chu Xiaoran watched Mrs. Zeng dry so boldly, picked up the wine glass, and planned to pour the wine as well, but Mrs. Zeng said, "Miss Xiaoran is still young, so there is no need to drink. ”
She made a look, and the maid standing on the side understood, and immediately poured the chilled watermelon juice next to Chu Xiaoran.
"Miss Xiaoran, you can drink watermelon juice."
Just took a bath, Mrs. Zeng was like a different person, considerate and thoughtful in everything, and she was completely two people just now!
"Okay."
Chu Xiaoran picked up the watermelon juice and drank it all.
The cool watermelon juice enters the throat and suppresses all the heat that has been hot for a day.
According to historical records, watermelons were introduced to China's Xinjiang region at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and began to flow into the Central Plains until the establishment of the Song Dynasty.
However, watermelon is still something that only the upper class can afford, and the wealth of the Zeng family can be seen in the small Kowloon Town, where you can eat the artifact of relieving the heat.
Mrs. Zeng was easy to talk to, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was relatively harmonious for a while.
Zeng Jiayi, the youngest daughter of Zeng Yuanwai, asked in a low voice: "You look younger than me, do you really know how to read a house?" ”
Chu Xiaoran smiled and nodded: "I will not only watch the house, but also catch ghosts." ”
When Zeng Jiayi talked about catching ghosts, she didn't have a trace of fear, but looked at Chu Xiaoran with bright eyes
Full of surprise, he asked, "You really know how to catch ghosts, it's amazing." I have ghosts in my house, can I watch from the side when you catch ghosts at night? ”
This Zeng Jiayi is really the first girl Chu Xiaoran has met who is not afraid of ghosts and shouts to see them.
"If your mom and dad agree, I'm fine here."
"Okay, when we're done eating, I'll tell my dad and let me sleep with you."
Chu Xiaoran smiled mildly and did not respond to Zeng Jiayi.
After dinner, Chu Xiaoran took Nianshuang to eat in the courtyard, and walked for two quarters of an hour without seeing Zeng Jiayi coming.
knew that Zeng Yuanwai and Mrs. Zeng did not agree.
Chu Xiaoran understands that if her father and mother agree, it is not normal.
It's already eight o'clock in the evening.
Zeng's house was still brightly lit, but he didn't hear the ghost crying, and there was no yin qi.
I don't know what it will be like if it's late.
After the end of the night, Chu Xiaoran simply scrubbed again, went to bed, and slept until midnight, and sure enough, he heard a rapid ghost cry.
The ghost cries from far and near, and Chu Xiaoran, who listened to it, was upset.
She sat up and looked through the window, startled, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a group of demons dancing wildly, and more than a dozen ghosts were floating around.
Chu Xiaoran grabbed the compass, opened the door, and found that these ghosts were only in his own courtyard, and the other courtyards were very quiet.
Oh, this ghost still has some Taoism, she just came today, and she came to the yard to provoke.
Chu Xiaoran ignored the little ghost floating in the air and waving his teeth and claws at her, and his sharp eyes looked at the female ghost who was quietly floating on the courtyard wall.
This female ghost is not like the usual ghost cloak, but has a very delicate hairstyle, and there is nothing terrifying about that face except that it is bloodless.
This is a beautiful, cultivated, and non-murderous ghost.
In other words, the person who died in the abandoned yard last night was not killed by this ghost.
The female ghost looked at Chu Xiaoran faintly, then spit out a breath of ghost breath and said, "The affairs of the Zeng family have nothing to do with you, you should leave as soon as possible." ”
"I have promised Zeng to find out about the haunting in the house."
"It's not your business to take care of things here, so I don't want to hurt people now, and leave quickly." The female ghost's tone was a little colder than just now, and the little ghost floating in the courtyard immediately surrounded Chu Xiaoran.
The little ghost changed his appearance, trying to scare Chu Xiaoran away with a terrifying appearance.
Chu Xiaoran clenched the compass, and the qi of the five elements in his body dispersed, which belonged to the qi of the five elements in the later stage of foundation building, which immediately made the little ghost with his teeth and claws tremble, hugged him, and cried.
I thought that this little girl, like the god stick who came a few days ago, was a bluff, but in fact, she didn't have any strength at all.
I didn't expect that at such a young age, there was such a terrifying atmosphere.
The female ghost's face was gloomy, and she waved her hand to take the little ghost away, and she floated down from the courtyard wall at a very fast speed, and her bloodless face was about to stick to Chu Xiaoran's face.
Chu Xiaoran didn't move at all, and his eyes didn't blink.
The female ghost stared at Chu Xiaoran for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Yes, I have some ability, but my matter is not something you can solve, it's urgent, I don't mind pulling the people of the Zeng family to hell together." ”
"I'm here to solve the problem, you might as well tell me about you, maybe I can help you."
"Help me?"
The female ghost seemed to hear a very funny joke, and she raised her head and laughed, and the whole courtyard suddenly became cloudy, and the lanterns under the eaves of the house shook incessantly.
"You are a cultivator, I am a ghost, and I have never heard of it, there are cultivators who will help ghosts."
Chu Xiaoran looked at the female ghost: "I haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that I haven't, instead of being beaten and scattered, it is better to solve the matter and reincarnate without worry." ”
The female ghost's laughter stopped abruptly, and the ghost eyes stared at Chu Xiaoran, as if judging that Chu Xiaoran said this with a bit of sincerity.
In the middle of the night, the female ghost flicked her sleeves and floated away leisurely: "Don't waste time, I said, you can't solve this matter, I'll give you a chance tonight, leave Zeng's house quickly tomorrow morning, no wonder I didn't remind you." ”
The female ghost floated away, and the lantern dangling under the eaves stopped.
Chu Xiaoran did not go back to the room, but woke up Nianshuang, who was asleep, and took her to the main courtyard to find Zeng Yuanwai and his wife.
Because they were haunted for most of the month, Zeng Yuanwai and his wife didn't dare to sleep at night, and when Chu Xiaoran went to look for them, they hadn't gone to bed yet.
"Miss Xiaoran, was it ...... just now?"
Zeng Yuanwai heard the sound of ghosts crying outside, quietly opened the window, and saw that Chu Xiaoran's courtyard was full of wind, the whole courtyard was dark and oppressive, and the light of the moon was difficult to shine into.
Chu Xiaoran nodded: "There are indeed ghosts in the house, and there is more than one." ”
Chu Xiaoran repeated what the female ghost said just now to the couple word for word: "The words of the female ghost should be your enemy, you and your wife think about it, do you know such a person." ”
Zeng Yuanwai sat on a chair and grabbed his hair: "I really can't think of making a feud with such a person, we do business with peace as the precious, and we won't do such a thing as a feud!" ”
Chu Xiaoran nodded, and his gaze fell on Mrs. Zeng, who had not spoken.
"Madame, do you know that female ghost?"
Mrs. Zeng shook her head: "How can I know, if you want me to say, this female ghost must be nonsense, Miss Xiaoran, since you have this ability, why don't you catch this female ghost and destroy it directly?" ”
"Just extinguish? Madame Zeng, you are really a simple and decisive person. ”
