Lin Ming used his tone to express his scorn as if he was telling a joke:

"It is said that there is a merchant who offended Cao Hong after getting drunk, and the merchant's lady heard about the case of Cao Dayong and Jia Qin, and was worried about the revenge of the reincarnated demon boy, so she specially went to ask He Xiangu to resolve it."

Yu Qingfeng gave a four-character comment, "So it's mysterious." ”

"It's better to believe it, not to believe it, but not to believe it. The merchant too, when he met Cao Hong after he was drunk, he talked to her, Cao Hong couldn't speak at all, so he naturally ignored him, and the merchant wanted to beat Cao Hong. Cao Hong had a small wooden stick in his hand at that time, so he hit the merchant's leg......"

Lian Shurong suddenly interrupted Lin Ming, and said with a smile: "What a small stick, it's just a small branch, the kind that Cao Hong played with when we came out." said that Cao Hong hit the merchant's leg, but the merchant's leg has become more and more painful these days, and he can't get out of bed. Only then did the merchant think of asking He Xiangu for help, worried that the merchant's leg would not be saved. ”

The back of Yu Qingfeng's neck suddenly fluttered, and her eyes unconsciously drifted to the doll beside her.

Pei Wuxian saw Yu Qingfeng's worry and fear, and said softly: "Don't worry, your head, I will guard it." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, I think I can do it." Yu Qingfeng grabbed the doll in a different place and showed it to Lin Ming and Lian Shurong, and told about what happened to Cao Hong just now.

"Nope." Pei Wuyi didn't hear what the so-called plan was, so he immediately vetoed it.

Yu Qingfeng pretended not to hear and continued to speak:

"Since I have offended Cao Hong, I might as well offend to the end, and I will be the bait to lure Cao Ruyi to appear. By the way, I can wear that Cao Ruyi's green phoenix hosta again and make a big fuss. In this way, if Cao Ruyi doesn't take action, won't the rumors of the reincarnated demon boy be unsustainable? ”

"No-okay-" Pei Wuxian glared at Yu Qingfeng, "What did you say before?" Don't they all listen to me? ”

Yu Qingfeng shrunk his neck, pouted and nodded, "Okay, listen to you." Then you say, what are we going to do? ”

"It's better to stay put, and spy on it. If Cao Ruyi is really hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to move, if we don't move, she will move. ”

Yu Qingfeng shrugged, anyway, it's right to listen to the male protagonist.

Originally, they planned to walk around in Suzhou, eat local flavors, and ask the people about the story of the reincarnated demon boy.

But now that they learned that Lian Shurong's cousin was living so miserably, they had to stay in the Hou Mansion often to give Ji Hou Ye some deterrent.

Go straight back to the Hou Mansion for dinner.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zongyuan did not appear.

The housekeeper came to Tongbing and said that Master Ji originally wanted to entertain distinguished guests, but he didn't expect to drink too much wine in the afternoon, and he had already fallen asleep in Linlang Water Pavilion at this time.

Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's better if Hou Ye Ji isn't here," Yu Qingfeng also had a place at the dinner table, and said proudly, "If he comes and eats at the same table with me, I'm afraid he won't have any appetite at all, and he will be full." ”

Pei Wuyi felt that he was a junior, and he had to wait for the elders, and he was also the owner of the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Ji moved the chopsticks first.

But Mrs. Ji didn't move, obviously humility has become a habit.

Helpless, Pei Wuyi, as the most noble person in the audience in addition to the master, took the lead in moving chopsticks.

The others are just eating.

Lian Shurong saw that they were all his own people, so he simply got straight to the point, "Cousin, didn't you think about leaving?" ”

Mrs. Ji's hand slipped again, and the chopsticks fell on the table.

After realizing that he had heard correctly, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Shurong, this, this can't be, this can't be nonsense, I ...... He's the Hou Ye, I'm just ...... If he doesn't mention it, how can I mention it? ”

"Mrs. Ji, if you want, we will help you and let Hou Ye Ji take the initiative to divorce his wife, how about it?" Lin Ming seemed to be sure.

"This ......"

Yu Qingfeng looked at Mrs. Ji, not knowing what this woman was hesitating about.

Is it reluctant to give up the title of Mrs. Hou? Or are you worried that you will still have endless troubles after the divorce? But no matter what, it's better than staying and being beaten and living in fear, right?

Well, there are always 10,000 reasons why people who endure domestic violence and don't want to divorce, it depends on her own choice.

"Shurong, don't mention this matter again, I'm Mrs. Hou here, but if I go back to my parents' house, I will be a burden, and it will affect my mother's family and even your father's reputation."

Yu Qingfeng buried her head in eating and did not comment on Mrs. Ji's choice.

***

He Xiangu's residence is near the largest Taoist temple in Suzhou, and it is an abandoned inn. He Xiangu does good deeds and accumulates virtues, and often takes in some homeless people to live here.

At this time, there were already many people in the courtyard of the inn, all waiting to watch the rituals.

Before the time came, He Xiangu did not appear, only four young women were arranging ritual props.

"Are they He Xiangu's apprentices?" Yu Qingfeng inquired with a lady next to her.

The eldest lady only glanced at Yu Qingfeng, and replied casually: "He Xiangu doesn't accept apprentices, they are maids, and they are all homeless poor people." ”

"Why don't you take in apprentices?"

"Girl, are you a foreigner? Don't know He Xiangu? The eldest lady was looking at Yu Qingfeng up and down.

"I'm from the capital, and I've only heard of He Xiangu's name, but I don't know the specifics."

"He Xiangu was punished by heaven because she leaked too much heavenly secrets and went against the sky, and her legs were disabled. There are also people who want to worship her as a teacher, but she has made a rule that she will never accept apprentices, but she doesn't want people to follow in her footsteps. ”

"Legs are disabled!" Yu Qingfeng had a flash of inspiration and asked, "When did He Xiangu settle in Suzhou?" ”

The eldest lady thought for a while, "It's been three years." ”

Yu Qingfeng turned her head and exchanged glances with Pei Wuyi.

Cao Ruyi fell off a cliff six years ago, and He Xiangu appeared in Suzhou three years ago, with disabled legs!

Pei Wuxian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yu Qingfeng meant.

It's really nowhere to find iron shoes, well, a good pair of shoes haven't been broken, anyway, it doesn't take any effort to get them.

Yu Qingfeng deduced according to the routine that He Xiangu was the makeover Cao Ruyi.

Cao Ruyi did not appear by Cao Hong's side as an aunt or relative at all, and she controlled Cao Hong, a marionette, as a fairy girl.

Cao Hong, the reincarnated demon boy, was created by Cao Ruyi himself!

Soon, He Xiangu, who was in a wooden wheelchair, appeared behind the fence on the second floor. She looked to be on the verge of her age, with long hair on one side covering half of her face, revealing half of her face that was pale and wrinkled.

Disfigurement, mask, or is it like this after being injured and disfigured? Anyway, it must be said to the outside world that He Xiangu herself is not very old, and the reason why she is so old is the same as her legs are disabled, and she is cursed by God.

The ritual begins.

On the altar below, there are all kinds of incense, candles, paper money, and Cao Ruyi's tablet.

Behind the altar was a screen, on which a small figure was reflected, sitting on a small bench and bending over something on the ground.

Diagonally behind are Zhai Xianglian and Cao Fengnian, who are staring intently at the figure behind the screen.

It seems that behind the screen is Cao Hong, who is casually scribbling on the ground with a small branch.

A red rope stretched from He Xiangu's wrist on the second floor, until behind the screen, it should have been tied to Cao Hong's wrist.

He Xiangu used a red rope as a psychic prop.

On the other side of the altar was a husband and wife, and the husband needed his wife's support, and it was the merchant with a sore leg.

The husband and wife knelt down together at Cao Ruyi's tablet. The candle flame flickered, and the jumping light and shadow hit the frightened faces of the couple, which was indescribably weird.

The wife apologized to Cao Ruyi on behalf of her husband, saying that she shouldn't provoke her or something. She muttered to the altar while staring closely at the change of Cao Hong's figure on the screen.

Cao Hong was still immersed in her art career, and there was no reaction at all.

The merchant's wife looked up to look at He Xiangu on the second floor.

He Xiangu cherished words like gold, raised her finger and pointed at the merchant who didn't say a word.

The maid beside He Xiangu spoke: "Du family lady, it is useless for you to say so much, it is your husband who offends the reincarnated demon boy, if he refuses to apologize sincerely in person, He Xiangu can't help it." I'm afraid I can't keep this leg. ”

The merchant lady slammed her husband's arm with her elbow, and scolded with a crying voice: "Speak quickly, if you are disabled, what should we do?" Do you really want to spend the rest of your life in bed and let us serve? ”

The merchant's face turned red, and he looked at the spectators around him, and was so anxious that he clenched his fists to beat his legs.

"When is this coming, do you still want to save face? Is face or legs important? He Xiangu said, Cao Ruyi also wants to save face, if there are not many visitors, she will not forgive you! Everyone came to watch, they were helping us. ”

The merchant bit his lip and opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.

"Dead ghost, you are not the enemy of the reincarnated demon boy in his previous life, there is not much grudge, He Xian Gu said, it can be resolved! You're talking! ”

It may be that his wife's words reminded the merchant of Cao Dayong and Jia Qin's deaths, and finally let it go, first knocking his head three times, and then repeating his wife's apology just now while crying bitterly.

The spectators also became more and more excited, and they opened their mouths to accuse the merchants.

Instead, the merchant and his wife thanked the spectators around them who were accusing them, they were helping the reincarnated demon boy to vent his anger, this was helping.

"Everyone!"

Everyone looked up, only to see a maid beside He Xiangu raise her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The scene fell silent instantly.

"Reincarnated Demon Boy, are you willing to forgive Du Lang?"

He Xiangu spoke, her voice hoarse and low. A cough followed.

Cao Hong, who was on the other side of the screen, suddenly reacted, no longer buried himself in the branches, got up and faced the screen.

The merchant and his wife trembled with fright.

A maid beside the altar received He Xiangu's eyes, walked to the altar, took a piece of talisman paper, lit it, and let the ashes fall into a porcelain bowl. Then he took the porcelain bowl to the merchant.

"Du Xianglang, Immortal Aunt He has already felt the meaning of the reincarnated demon boy, and she is willing to forgive you. As long as you drink this water, within three days, your legs will be restored. But if you do it again in the future, and then provoke the reincarnated demon boy, or do the most hated thing of the reincarnated demon boy, then you will be guilty of your own sin. ”

Du Lang kowtowed like pounding garlic, grabbed the charm water and drank it all.

The merchant and his wife kowtowed to He Xiangu again, helped each other up, and thanked the visitors.

This is how the farce came to an end. Yu Qingfeng was disappointed, except for speculating that He Xiangu was Cao Ruyi, they had seen such a lively scene this time.

They blended in the crowd and planned to leave the scene, after all, Pei Wuxian said that they should not move.

Before he reached the door, he heard He Xiangu suddenly scream hoarsely behind him. And they all turned back. The merchant and his wife were even more frightened and their legs weakened, for fear that there would be some variables.

"Everyone, please stay!" A maid beside He Xiangu shouted in panic, "He Xiangu, please stay, her old man feels that the resentment of the reincarnated demon boy has just dissipated, and it has suddenly increased dramatically. Among all of you present, there must be one person who has some entanglement with the reincarnated demon boy! ”

The back of Yu Qingfeng's neck was cold, and this trip was not only that, but the blockbuster drama had just begun.
