Chapter 81: One Man and One Ghost
The old servant is old, this small courtyard was originally owned by the Zong family, it is estimated that it is tattered and worthless, so it was not sold at the beginning, since there is no one in the Zong family, he is the old servant of the Zong family, so he takes his wife and children to live here temporarily, firstly, he has a place to settle down after leaving the murderous house, and secondly, it can be regarded as helping the master's family guard the last bit of family property.
At first, the old servant paid no attention to anyone, but sat alone under the shade of a small wooden stool, his fingers scratching something on the ground beside him, and his mouth seemed to be still chanting.
His sons had already married and had children, and lived with him, and when he saw someone coming to look for his father, he was a little surprised, and when he heard that it was to inquire about the big mansion of the Zong family, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"I advise you two not to ask! It's just a delay for the two of you! The old servant's son saw that Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou had extraordinary bearings, and the clothes on their bodies were not ordinary rough materials, and he guessed that these two people were definitely not ordinary Bai Ding, so he was quite polite, "My father is old, and his head is not very bright, crazy and crazy, and his mouth is full of crazy words." ”
Du Ruo smiled, waved his hand indifferently, took out a little broken silver from his arms, and stuffed it into the hand of the old servant's son: "We are new to this county, and we are not familiar with this Tonghe County, so we have to trouble you to help buy some food, wine and food, which is a little caution for us to visit the old man." ”
The old servant's son is a transparent person, and when he heard Du Ruo's meaning, he also knew that they had to ask their father about things, anyway, their father was crazy, and he didn't have a serious word in his mouth.
In addition, their family's life is also tight, this handful of broken silver can buy a table of good wine and food, not only can entertain guests, the whole family will follow the tooth sacrifice, and there will be some left after that, which will be used to subsidize the days to come.
There is such a good thing, why not do it!
So he took the money with great gratitude, and immediately left the courtyard and went out to buy food.
The son was gone, and the old servant didn't seem to care very much, still sitting under the shade of the tree and chattering, chanting words.
Ye Yuanzhou pulled two small wooden stools from the side, put them in front of the old servant, and sat down with Du Ruo, the old servant seemed to realize that someone was coming, stopped talking to himself, and turned his head to look at the two people.
His eyes were cloudy, and he didn't know if he could see who the person opposite was, but he seemed to be able to feel that there were two strangers on the other side, who didn't know him.
"What are you doing? Who to look for? He asked, hoarse.
"Old man, we came to visit you today because we wanted to talk to you about the affairs of your master's family!" Du Ruo said to him kindly, afraid that he would turn his ears back, and deliberately raised his voice a few degrees, "I heard that you often go to the old house of the Zong family to worship the souls of the Zong family?"
Can you tell us about that? ”
The old servant seemed a little surprised, he narrowed his eyes, trying to look at the person in front of him more closely: "Where are you hairy children?" Want to inquire about my master's house for fun?
Go, go, go! Get out there and have fun! Hugh is here to make fun of me! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out a withered hand and waved it at them as if to blast away a naughty child.
Du Ruo also saw it at this time, this old servant's eye disease was already very serious, and he could only see one person when he looked at the people and things in front of him, and he couldn't see it at all, so he also had a bottom in his heart.
"Old man, we're not here to have fun with you!" She motioned for Ye Yuanzhou to sit upright and not move, leaned closer, lowered her voice, and said to the old servant a little mysteriously, "Don't hide it, I went down the mountain with my master today, and made a special trip to the Zong family's murderous mansion!" ”
The old servant was stunned for a moment, although he couldn't see what the person in front of him was, but he could dimly see one of them sitting there, with a tall posture, quite proud of the world.
In addition, the one who opened his mouth to talk to him, saying "Master" and "going down the mountain" in his mouth, he still understood what it meant.
"You...... What are you going to do? He asked with a wary frown.
"Old man, my ancestor and his old man watched the sky at night, and found that there was a faint grievance in Yuzhou that rushed into the sky, lingering, and felt that there should be some grievances here, so he asked my master to take me over to check the situation.
After we arrived in Yuzhou, we also inquired and searched all the way, and finally found this side.
Old man, since you are an insider, you shouldn't want to let the unjust soul suffer all the time, right?
Why don't you tell us what you know, and see if my master has the ability to surpass them into samsara? ”
As if to cooperate with Du Ruo's words, Ye Yuanzhou sat more upright, and Ye Long and Ye Hu behind him also put on a posture like a Dharma Protector King Kong.
The old servant was a little surprised, and while he was surprised, he also believed Du Ruo's words a little more inexplicably.
His cloudy old eyes suddenly filled with tears, and tears overflowed from his sockets, spreading around along the wrinkles like thousands of furrows at the corners of his eyes.
"My lord's house died unjustly! Finally someone is willing to do something for them! This is really an eye-opener! The old servant choked up and sighed, "The top and bottom of the Zong family are all great good people!"
He has always been kind to others, whether it is to his servants or to the guys outside, he is very generous, and he is honest and diligent in doing business, and he has never done anything harmful!
Their family died so unjustly and so miserably, it is really intolerable! How can a good person not be rewarded by a person! ”
"Old man, don't worry, let's talk slowly! We just made a special trip to this matter, and we will definitely deal with it! Du Ruo reassured him, "It's just that this matter is very hearsay outside, but we can't find any clue at all."
I hope the old man can tell us what you know, and so that we can figure out what is going on! ”
"That's nature! That's nature! The old servant hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, "I've been holding back this matter for a long time!"
Don't talk about anyone else, it's my son, and when I talk to him about those things, he only thinks that I am an old man who is crazy and talking nonsense, and he won't believe it at all!
Today you are willing to listen to me, and you are willing to ascend to heaven for my lord's house, then what else do I have to hide!
Back then, the young master and the young lady went out together, and went to the young lady's mother's house to pay homage to the relatives, and when they left, they were two good people, but they didn't return for a long time, and when they came back, they weren't two people!
It's clearly a man and a demon! ”
