Chapter 171: You Shi's Death
You Shi was carried back to the bedroom with all hands and feet, and he still muttered the words "there are ghosts" in his mouth. The old lady cried even more sadly, what is this called, her daughter just had a miscarriage, and she was scared crazy when she was a mother. Why are all the bad things all in one place?
Yuan Jie cried with the old lady, she was really sad, Wei Yuanjia had just had a miscarriage, and the future was uncertain, if even the You family was gone, then Wei Yuanjia's status in the Wei Mansion would really be in jeopardy. If even Wei Yuanjia loses his status, his wish to marry a wealthy businessman will be dashed.
Aunt Zheng also came over to join in the fun, but to see You Shi's ugly appearance when she went crazy, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare, for fear that the old lady would scold her for being heartless, so she had to hide behind the curtain and hold back her laughter.
Aunt Yu also came to visit, and at the same time ordered someone to go to Xiyintang to call Cheng Yong back, there was so much chaos in the family, as the eldest son, he should help share it by his father's side at this time.
I invited Doctor Zhang to talk to Dr. Xia, saying that he was scared, and it was not a big deal, and he withdrew after prescribing some medicine to treat heart palpitations. The patriarch also came over on crutches to take a look, but he didn't dare to enter the door, and after glancing at the door, he left.
Cheng Yong received a message from his mother, and felt a dilemma in his heart, looking at Yongzi who was covered in water, relieved and panicked.
Yongzi was very dragged: "Young Master, my Yongzi does things alone, if you are afraid, I will ask the master for the guilt, and I will never affect you and Aunt Yu." ”
Cheng Yong didn't have this idea, he was just afraid that Yongzi would be found out about pretending to be a ghost, and although he was the eldest young master, he might not be able to save his life.
"You, you, what do you want me to say? You are so bold, who taught you to add chaos and scare people?" Cheng Yong reprimanded in a flat manner.
Yongzi snorted disdainfully: "That Aunt You is powerful and powerful in the mansion all day long, I can't get used to it for a long time, besides, she has hurt you and the third miss so many times, and in the past few days, she has picked her nose and raised her eyes, and it is long overdue to teach her a lesson." ”
It's not anyone's order, Yongzi pretending to be a ghost is purely voluntary, passing by the lotus pond, remembering that Yuanxi once asked him to play a ghost to scare the fourth lady, so he came to repeat the old trick, stole a set of dresses for the little girls to hang in the yard, and asked Xiang'er to steal a few rolls of white wool from the second lady, relying on the good water quality, deliberately diving into deep water, pretending to be a ghost to scare people.
Cheng Yong snorted, but said, "It's good that no one can see it." ”
Yongzi pouted, although his master had a soft temper, he was still very protective of his calves when it came to major events.
"Don't go back yet, wipe the water clean and don't let anyone see the flaws. Cheng Yong gave an order, handed over the key to Xiyintang to Yongzi, gave him a few simple instructions, and drove back to Weifu.
The Wei Mansion is already in a mess, decocting medicines, changing water, looking for doctors, sending doctors, and servants and maids are busy with their feet not touching the ground. Cheng Yong didn't want to rush with them, so he went to Aunt You's courtyard along the corridor, but he happened to meet Yuan Xi and Rong Zhan who were watching at the door, and Cheng Yong gave a salute: "There are so many troubles at home, and the hospitality is not good, which really makes His Highness laugh." ”
Yuan Xi glanced at Cheng Yong and said lightly: "Yes, I can't tell the truth from the fake." You say it's okay to see a ghost in the middle of the night, but what kind of ghost do you see in broad daylight?"
Cheng Yong swallowed his saliva, and whispered in his ear: "It's Yongzi." ”
Yuan Xi was stunned: "What?"
"It's Yuko. Cheng Yong made a few lip shapes and didn't make a sound.
"This kid is addicted to pretending to be a ghost, and he acted in such a play on his own initiative, and even I was kept in the dark, which is really bold. Cheng Yong complained in a low voice.
Yuan Xi and Rong Zhan glanced at each other, and invariably hooked the corners of their mouths. This seems to be an extra move, but in fact it is a stroke of genius, I have to say that Yongzi is quite smart, if it is not for the repetition of the old trick, I am afraid that it will not be able to scare You Shi.
"This kid is funny. Rong Zhan praised without changing his face.
Cheng Yong was stunned for a moment, turned his face and looked at Rong Zhan, so what Yongzi did is not bad? Yuan Xi lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice: "Dad has already found a Taoist priest to do it, tonight, Aunt You will burn paper and pray by the lotus pond, why don't you let Yongzi pretend again?"
"Again?" Cheng Yong looked at Yuan Xi in shock: "What does my sister mean?"
"Just like when Hua Sui'er fell into the water, he dragged You Shi into the water, at the same time and in the same place, he would kill with one blow, completely driving You Shi crazy. Yuan Xi tugged at Cheng Yong's sleeves: "Aunt Yu saw the matter of Hua Sui with her own eyes." ”
Cheng Yong understood, turned around and returned to Xiang Hanxuan. Aunt Yu was watching, and as soon as she heard Cheng Yong's explanation, she described the situation on the night when Hua Sui'er fell into the water.
Autumn is solemn, and the lotus pond at night has a feeling of yin and wind, and You Shi drank two bowls of soothing decoction and finally woke up. The Taoist priest who practiced it had already placed the incense burner paper money next to the lotus pond, and the old Taoist carried the gossip sword on his back, wore a yellow robe, and walked the steps of yin and yang gossip. With a wave of the blade, a flame jumped out, and the white candle was lit, and the people were amazed, it was really a master outside the world, and he could invite the divine fire in the sky.
Mother Zhao helped You Shi slowly paced to the lotus pond, and Wei Dongshu sat in the rockery pavilion next to the lotus pond and nodded at You Shi. You Shi walked to Lao Dao's side and bowed slowly: "Dao Chief, it's polite." ”
The old Taoist called out "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" and looked You Shi up and down, and sighed: "Donor, your Yin Hall is black, and there seems to be a ghost haunting, wait for me to do the magic to exorcise evil spirits and relieve your sorrows." ”
There is a copper basin next to the lotus pond, next to it is a stack of paper money, and there is a piece of red charcoal burning in the basin, and the old Tao points to the copper basin: "Female donor, the dead ghost is wronged, burn the paper money, send her away." ”
You Shi glanced at it, didn't dare to move, that place was the place where Hua Sui'er fell into the water, she looked at the old way, no wonder it was a living immortal, this place was full of yin and qi.
You Shi couldn't move, Zhao's mother plucked up her courage, took the lead in squatting next to the pond, and threw the paper money into the basin one by one and burned it.
"Donor, don't be afraid, there is a poor way to practice here, and the evil obstacle does not dare to come forward, you can burn it with confidence. Lao Dao said, waved the gossip sword, picked up a piece of rice paper, and squirted out a sip of wine, and a ghost was faintly reflected on the paper.
"Auntie, it's okay. Zhao's mother filled the basin with a few more pieces of paper, and the paper was licked by the tongue of fire a few times.
Seeing that Zhao's mother was squatting by the pool for a while, as if nothing was wrong, You Shi also walked over with courage and stood still by the lotus pond. I looked down at the water, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
You Shi looked at the copper basin again, and her heart was not very happy, although she was also afraid of being haunted by the ghost of Hua Sui'er, but she still felt a little sad when she asked her to burn paper for Hua Sui'er. What's more, at this time, several young ladies and aunts from the Wei Mansion came over to join in the fun, where is the fun, it is obviously to see their own jokes. The old lady didn't come, the clan elder wasn't there, and there was no one who could support her.
You Shi suddenly felt a little itchy on the surface of her feet, as if something was teasing the surface of her feet, looked down, it seemed to be a white hand, You Shi was startled, thinking that he was dazzled, and took a closer look, the hand suddenly grabbed her ankle, and before she could scream, the whole person had been planted into the lotus pond.
You fell into the water, scared Wei Dongshu unclearly, and hurriedly called people to see it, and more than a dozen people chased him to the edge of the pool, but none of them dared to go into the water to save people. You Shi seemed to be choked by something. Floating on the water were the maid's yellow skirt and white hair. You Shi was dragged deeper and deeper, and the thing seemed to be bent on killing people.
Wei Dongshu saw that the people didn't dare to go over, so he took off his coat and wanted to go into the water by himself, but Rong Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Lord Wei, this is not appropriate, let's call the people to go." ”
was stopped by Rong Zhan, and Wei Dongshu was also a little hesitant. You Shi was dragged farther and farther away, at first she could still flutter in the water a few times, but then gradually she froze, and she didn't even move, and after a while, the figure on the water was no longer visible.
Lao Dao was so frightened that his face turned pale, he originally came to catch ghosts, but the ghosts were not caught, but he didn't have an aunt, and he was not eaten alive by the Wei Mansion now?
"What about people, people!" Wei Dongshu walked to Lao Dao's side and grabbed him by the collar: "I'll beat you a damn liar!"
Wei Dongshu went crazy angrily, and with just one punch, he threw Lao Dao into the water, Lao Dao fluttered a few times, but he didn't sink to the bottom, but stretched his legs and stood up. The water at the edge of the lotus pond is not deep in the first place, so this is why people don't understand why the flower spike drowns.
Lao Dao touched the water on his face and wanted to climb ashore, but he was kicked down by Wei Dongshu, and kicked back and forth a few times, Lao Dao simply gave up and stopped in the water, and he couldn't drown anyway.
There was a sudden commotion on the surface of the water, and a straight woman surfaced, and there was a commotion in the Wei Mansion, and they all guessed who the woman who floated to the shore was, maybe it was a flower spike, because the ghost stories were made up like this in the book.
When the female corpse floated to the shore, everyone saw the distorted and deformed face clearly, Aunt You, You Shi!? Wei Dongshu's body trembled, and he fell to the ground on his back, and Yuan Xi was also startled, and was hugged by Rong Zhan. Aunt Yu shrank in Cheng Yong's arms in a panic and didn't dare to look up.
You Shi?!She actually died?!Did Yongzi kill her??Chengyong looked hard into the water for a while, but he couldn't find any trace of Yongzi. This, this result is really unexpected.
As soon as Lao Dao saw the dead person, he dropped his robe and sword, pulled his legs and ran, and the Wei Mansion was in chaos, the masters were all pale with fright, and the subordinates were busy salvaging You Shi's body. No one cares about the old way.
Yuan Xi looked at Cheng Yong in horror, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Yongzi, call him back!"
Yongzi only came back in the middle of the night, and when he entered the door, he knelt down, did not speak, and was beaten and scolded. Cheng Yong was angry, kicked him hard, and kicked him on the heel: "You bastard! just told you to scare her, how did you kill someone!?"
Yuko was silent, not saying a word.
"You speak, speak!" Cheng Yong kicked him several times in a row.
Rong Zhan frowned, stared at him for a while, and suddenly felt that Yongzi's eyes were a little familiar: "Who asked you to do it, can't even this king know?"
As soon as Rong Zhan spoke, Yongzi raised his head: "Since it is the prince who asks questions, the minister, you can say it." ”
"Minister?" Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows in astonishment.
