146 Nanfeng Ghost Village (5)
Ah Lian glanced at Chen Yi and continued: "We have a girl here, and there are very few girls who have grown up to be twenty years old, and there are very few unmarried. One day, the uncle found Xie Qiao to mention this, and after learning that Xie Qiao had no intention of crushing, the uncle thought about finding a matchmaker to help her be a matchmaker, and Xie Qiao did not refuse this, and responded shyly. ”
"How do you know that this matter reached the ears of the Bai family in the town, the Bai family just had a young master who was in his 20s and had not yet married a wife, the matchmaker praised Xie Qiao to the sky in the Bai family, and the young master Bai went up the mountain curiously to see, after he saw Xie Qiao, he remembered Xie Qiao, and asked the matchmaker to help say good things about herself, after the matter was completed, the benefits of the matchmaker were indispensable."
"Then Xie Qiao, does she agree to this marriage?" Chen Yi asked.
"Naturally, I don't agree! Who doesn't know the character of Young Master Bai in this area, the famous second ancestor, who is rampant and domineering in the town, and often goes in and out of the land of fireworks and willow lanes, ruining a lot of girls who have not left the cabinet, or Master Bai spends money to settle it, and there is no woman who wants to live with him at all. ”
"Not long after Xie Qiaowan refused this family business, the Bai family's steward found the uncle on the mountain, and he told the uncle that if this Xie Qiao married into the Bai family, then the people of the entire Nanfeng Village would go to the Bai family industry to buy goods in the future, and if she didn't marry, then the crops in Nanfeng Village would not be collected by the Bai family in the future."
Chen Yi learned about this situation, Nanfeng Village made a living from planting, and if no one harvested their crops, it would almost cut off the livelihood of the entire village.
Ah Lian gave Chen Yi time to digest, and then continued: "Under the coercion and temptation, the uncle had to agree to this family matter, Xie Qiao has no family, as long as the uncle agrees, this matter will be half, and in the end, Xie Qiao finally agreed to marry into the Bai family under the bitter pleading of the uncle." ”
"But who knew that Xie Qiao had only been married to the Bai family for three months, and the young master of the Bai family was tired of her, and began to go out to spend all day drinking, Xie Qiao had a strong temperament, and he had talked to Young Master Bai many times, and even had disputes, so Young Master Bai was even more disgusted with her."
"Finally, the contradiction between the two became more and more serious, but because of the face problem of Master Bai, Young Master Bai could not propose to divorce his wife, but this beast Bai Shao actually came up with a more vicious idea, and on a dark and windy night, he sent away the subordinates in his courtyard, and then called some fox friends and dog friends to insult her together."
"In the end, Xie Qiao, who was humiliated, hanged himself on the banyan tree in the Bai family's compound, and I always felt that the Bai family had done too many evils to retribution." In the end, Ah Lian was still a little angry and put forward her own opinion.
Chen Yi was also puzzled after hearing this: "Since you have to take care of Master Bai's face, why do you still do this kind of thing, and everyone knows it, even our mountain?" ”
Ah Lian explained to Chen Yi: "It's not that Young Master Bai is stupid, how many of the friends he has made are good goods?" Those scumbags had already spread the news in private, and Young Master Bai himself was still stupid and kept in the dark. ”
This Xie Qiao is too pitiful, it is estimated that it did the tragedy of the Bai family's destruction under the mountain, but what is the situation of the uncle's family, does it have a spiritual wisdom and want to come to the village to continue to retaliate?
After talking for a long time, Ah Lian told him a story about Xie Qiao, and didn't tell him why the uncle's family did it? Chen Yi spread his hands and expressed the doubts in his heart.
Ah Lian looked around, then put her mouth to Chen Yi's ear and whispered: "Last night, some naughty children in the village said that they saw Xie Qiao coming back. ”
"Ahh Impossible, right? Chen Yi looked frightened, so he looked at Ah Lian in surprise.
"I don't know if it's true or not, it's not just that a monk came to the entrance of the village, and he was invited in by Xie Kun."
After saying this, Ah Lian seemed to think of something, and shouted to Chen Yi: "Oh, the food is going to be cold, you go and call Daddy to come over for dinner!" ”
Chen Yi left in response, and while pulling the second master back, he happened to see the monk, wasn't it the master of Haiguang? He was observing the purple gold stick carefully, and he didn't notice Chen Yi, who didn't bother him at the moment, planning to find an opportunity to join him.
After lunch, the second master lay on the bamboo chair and took a nap, Ah Lian was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Yi found an excuse to come to the entrance of the uncle's courtyard, he saw a tall young man pulling Master Haiguang to talk, that should be Xie Kun.
"Ahem!" Chen Yi coughed lightly twice to get their attention.
The two people in the conversation invariably moved their eyes to Chen Yi, the only expressions of the two were different, Master Haiguang was happy, Xie Kun was confused, he just returned to the village yesterday afternoon, and he didn't know when there would be a stranger in the village.
Xie Kun thought about it for a moment, stepped forward and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Chen Yi's eyes rolled, and he turned around and sneered: "I was hired by the second master's family to help with the work, and I just came back from the field in the morning, and I heard that there was a master here, so I came to take a look." ”
Xie Kun didn't feel inappropriate after hearing this, the son of the second master's family hadn't come back for several years, and the family had a few acres of land, so it was normal to hire someone to come back to help take care of it.
Seeing that he was not suspicious, Chen Yi took the opportunity to say again: "I happen to have some private matters and want to ask the master." ”
Chen Yi was only nineteen years old, his green face, coupled with the embarrassed look on his face now, and the small movements around his head, no one would think that he was lying.
"If you can trust the poor monk, we might as well talk about it in private." Master Haiguang came in a hurry, looking like a monk, expressing his willingness to be helpful.
Xie Kun saw that the two had private matters to discuss, and felt that he was not easy to disturb, so it was inconvenient to disturb, he thought that Chen Yi's appearance might be a girl he had taken a fancy to, and he was asking for marriage.
Leaving the compound, the two sat at the entrance of the village and talked to each other, telling each other what happened to them in the past two days and the clues they had gotten.
"I think this Xie Qiao is the female ghost in red we met before, although I don't know why she took the phoenix crown after her death, maybe she just resented this marriage, if she really had this idea, she might take revenge on the villagers." Chen Yi speculated.
Master Hai Guang listened to Chen Yi's conjecture, and then said: "Now Xiao Yichan and they don't know where they are, Xie Qiao doesn't know when they will show up, and the purple gold stick in the courtyard is a wooden stick with no shape, I really don't know where to start." ”
Chen Yi seemed to think of something, and continued: "I experienced a supernatural event at the Mansion University last year, and it was also to bring people back in time and interpret the events of the past, and I may know how to find it. ”
Master Haiguang also realized instantly, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Interpreting the past, you mean ......"
He and Chen Yi looked at each other like two old foxes.
Now that they knew the solution, they naturally did not delay, and immediately set off to walk down the mountain.
As for the work of the second master's family and the law of the uncle's family, they no longer pay attention to it, it is originally a matter in the illusion, not real, even if in Nanfeng Village a hundred years ago, there was really a second master who wanted to hire someone to work, and there would not be a Chen Yi for him to hire.
