The night rain is lonely, and the remnants of the niche are lit up.

The mottled idol is rusty, half of it is kind and half of it is King Kong in the green smoke.

In the huge water tank in the hall, the sound of splashing water brought by turtles and turtles sounded from time to time, and occasionally there were some suppressed gasps, which were quietly buried.

The woman stood at the foot of the idol, grabbed the neck of the person in her hand, and asked questions unhurriedly.

She asked: "Lu Qian was slandered and imprisoned, can Master Fan, the criminal officer of the Criminal Prison Division, know the inside story?" ”

She asked: "Old Madam Ke said that Lu Rou took the initiative to seduce the prince of the Taishi Mansion, did the prince of the Taishi Mansion insult and defile Lu Rou?" ”

She asked: "Master Lu encountered a flood on the way to Beijing, who arranged the flood?" ”

She asked: "There was a fire in Changwu County, and Mrs. Lu died in it, can your Ke family contribute to it?" ”

Every time she asked, she pressed Ke Chengxing's head into the water once, so that he could experience the suffocation of drowning.

She asked seriously over and over again, tortured him to death over and over again, and at the end, she calmly reprimanded: "Why don't you answer? ”

He was poisoned and his tongue was stiff, how could he answer?

How could he answer!

Ke Chengxing was drenched in water all over his body, and it was clear that it was almost summer, but it was as cold as winter. He felt that he had become a fish in the case of others, and he could only be slaughtered by others. Despair and fear haunted him, making him feel more painful than the ghost of his dead wife.

"Wang Yingying" dragged him, like dragging a mess of mud dead dogs, looked at the statue in front of the Buddha shrine, and said softly: "Master Ke, you are bent on bribing God and worshiping Buddha, haven't you asked for karma?" ”

She lowered her head and smiled, her voice seemed to be mocking: "Also, if there is really karma in the world, why don't you sit back and relax now." It can be seen that the Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows and does not see sentient beings. ”

"Since the Bodhisattva is useless, I have to do it myself."

Ke Chengxing was terrified to the extreme, and couldn't help but glare at her angrily, staring at the Buddha statue in front of the shrine.

How dare she?

How dare you kill people in this solemn and sacred place in front of the Bodhisattva? Isn't she afraid of retribution?

Wang Yingying noticed his eyes, and seemed to understand what he was thinking in an instant, and she said, "You want to ask me why I am not afraid of gods and Buddhas?" ”

Ke Chengxing trembled all over, looking at her as if he was looking at the most terrifying demon in the world.

She laughed inexplicably: "I'm not afraid." ”

"I didn't go up to the mountain today to pray for blessings."

She leaned closer, her voice gentle, and spoke word by word in his ear.

"I'm here for revenge."

"Whoa-" sounded.

His head was pressed into the water again, and the turtle in the water was startled by the movement and flopped away. I don't know if it was his hallucination or what, but it was as if he had seen the shadow of his deceased wife in the darkest abyss.

The deceased wife's expression is gentle and bright, beautiful and pure like a lily, but there are three points similar to the ghost between her eyebrows and eyes. She smiled at him and said, "My sister is indeed different from me. ”

Ke Chengxing was confused, what was his deceased wife talking about? How could she have a sister, is it Wang Yingying?

But Wang Yingying is a distant relative of the Lu family, how can her eyebrows and eyes be similar to Lu Rou?

And temperament -

Lu Rou looked at him and smiled a little embarrassedly: "She was still a little girl when she was lost, but she was eight or nine years old, and she hadn't grown yet. I don't know how I've been all these years. ”

Lost ......

Like a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, suddenly, he suddenly remembered.

Wrong! Lu Rou once had a younger sister.

is not a distant relative of the Lu family, not Wang Yingying, but the sister of Lu Rou and Lu Qian, the youngest daughter of the Lu family, the youngest daughter of the Lu family who was abducted by a kidnapper seven years ago and disappeared!

Ke Chengxing thought about it thoroughly.

At that time, Lu Rou had just married into the Ke family, and after being in love with him, she talked about an old thing.

It is said that the Lu family originally had a little daughter, Lu Rou's sister, seven years ago in Changwu County plague, the four members of the Lu family fell ill, and the Lu family was alone to support the family, seeing that the Lu family was not happy at that time, I don't know where the Lu family found a few packets of medicine, and after decoction and drinking, the Lu family gradually got better.

Seeing that the situation at home is getting better, who knows that Miss Lu San went out one day and didn't come back. Later, someone at the corner of the street said that she was seen following a stranger wearing a curtain fence into the carriage. The Lu family hurriedly sent people to look for it, but they didn't find anything.

Because of this incident, Mrs. Lu fell into a heart disease and has been depressed, and the Lu family has not given up looking for the missing little daughter over the years, but still found nothing.

His wife looked at him cautiously: "Husband, I heard that the kiln porcelain of the Ke family is going to be sent to various places, can you draw my sister's portrait and name on the wooden box where the kiln porcelain is delivered?" If there is an acquaintance or my sister who sees it, maybe I can find it, and there will be a day of reunion in this life. ”

He casually said "a trivial matter", but he didn't take it to heart.

First, the Ke family deliberately exaggerated the momentum of the business in front of the Lu family, but in fact, it was empty, not to mention sending it to various places, and the business in Shengjing was only barely maintained.

Second, Ke Chengxing didn't think that the Lu family's youngest daughter could still be found. After so many years, most of the little daughter is dead, or she was sold to Hualou Qingyao, and her reputation is not good.

Why spend that unjust money? Ke Chengxing thought that it would be troublesome to find a painter to come over and paint a portrait.

So he paid lip service to it, but did not put it into action.

Later, there was another incident in Fengle Building, Lu was pregnant and died, and he married Qin, and the original husband and wife gossip had long been left behind by him.

Wang Yingying is just a distant relative of the Lu family, how can she do it for the Lu family, unless she is a blood relative of the Lu family.

Is the youngest daughter of the Lu family still alive?

Is this woman Lu Rou's missing sister?

Ke Chengxing was full of questions, but he couldn't say it, he only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, the water tank of the release pool seemed to be boundless, bottomless, and the water in the pool was also pitch black, like a hellless pool.

But in the darkness, there was a brilliant light. He saw a little firelight, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, brighter and brighter, accompanied by the noise of gongs and drums, flowers and candles, and someone was newly married.

The wedding tent is hung with bright concentric knots, red candles are feverish, and a couple of newlyweds are sitting in front of the couch, holding cups, and drinking a glass of wine.

Ke Chengxing saw himself in a wedding dress, his face was full of spirit, and the woman opposite him was as delicate as a flower, with gold and silver beads, and her hairpin shook gently, looking at him with a vein in her eyes.

She said shamefully: "Husband, drink this cup of wine, you and I are husband and wife, life and death are inseparable." ”

He laughed and swore as he learned from the scholar in the play: "I have you in the mud, and I have me in the mud." I and my mother, in this life and this world, we are born together and die in the same cave. ”

The sound of gongs and drums was over, and someone's voice came from afar: "Help!" Help me! ”

He raised his head and saw the pond on a summer afternoon, full of red ferns like blood, Lu Rou was pressed into the water by the family, she struggled desperately, her long hair was scattered, her hands were grabbed up indiscriminately, and she grabbed the edge of the pond and refused to let go. He was anxious and angry, on the one hand, he thought that his subordinates were too slow, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the movement would be heard by others, so he walked over and wanted to cover her mouth.

When Lu Rou saw him, she didn't struggle, only quietly shed two lines of tears from her eyes, and looked at him blankly.

He couldn't bear to look at her anymore, so he broke her hand and pressed her into the pond until the icy water swallowed everything.

There was a woman's gentle voice, echoing in his ears over and over again: "Husband, drink this cup of wine, you and I are husband and wife, life and death are inseparable." ”

A thunderclap broke the silence of the mountain night, and the lightning illuminated the green smoke of the remnant hall, and also illuminated the indifferent eyes of the Buddha's predecessors.

She quietly looked at the people in the tank who were no longer struggling, and asked softly, "Are you scared?" ”

No one answered, only strands of black hair floating on the dark and turbid water of the release pond like clumps of aquatic plants.

"I'm afraid."

Lu Tong said calmly: "My sister was also so scared at that time. ”
