Qi are especially suitable for miscarriage.But my little days have been inaccurate, so I didn't know that I was pregnant until you left for a long time, almost a month. "
The second lady didn't match her words, but she could still make up a general idea from it.The sister Jiang she mentioned was Chen Si's favorite aunt three years ago.Back then, not to mention Aunt Su, even the second wife had to stand aside.Aunt Su's most knowledgeable and interesting thing is to know how to measure, so the Second Madam has always treated her very well and never lacked her in anything.
However, although this Aunt Jiang is a son of a good family, she has a domineering and arrogant personality. If this is the case, she will be fine with beating and beating.But how could the second Mrs. Chen expect that in this back house, people can eat people so much without spitting out their bones.
The second lady poured herself another glass: "Although spring starts early, it was the same that day. The morning was gloomy, as if it was going to snow. I went to see my mother-in-law, but accidentally fell on the way."
Hearing that Chen Si choked up his breath, the expression on his face became ferocious.Accidentally fell?Her usual caution is beyond words.What's more, after it snows, there are special people watching and cleaning up the corridors, how can they fall so easily?
"I was lying in the snow for more than half an hour. Later the doctor came and said that if it could be done earlier, maybe the child could be saved. I also damaged my body because of this, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give birth again. "
Speaking of the second wife, the smile deepened, "So I packed up a group of maids and women, and then the back house was tidied up, isn't it much neater?"
A few short words were enough to describe the pain, she struggled on the corridor in the ice and snow, what kind of bearing did she talk about.She struggled to hold the hand of the big servant girl beside her, begged her humbly, then threatened her, and then she tried to trick her with blood.
She still remembers the servant girl's unbearable but daring expression, and no one passing by, all of this was premeditated.Even if it is pursued in the end, it will be sealed by the big maid.Couldn't bite into anything else at all.
Chen Siqi's eyes were red, and the veins in his hands were bulging, "Why didn't you tell me then."
"Tell?" The second lady lengthened the ending, and burst out laughing, "My friend, what were you doing at that time, enjoying the scenery, listening to the play with Sister Jiang, or talking to her personally?"
"Tiger poison does not eat its children, if I knew, I would definitely not let them go!"
Hearing that the second lady was still smiling, she raised her eyelids coldly, "How do you know that I didn't send someone to beg you? Liu Chun, the big maid beside me, saw that I hadn't gone back for a long time, so she finally got a chance I went to beg you, but I never came back. And you, you didn’t even come back that day, so you’re not really my enemy.”
He couldn't hear the sarcasm in the words.Speaking of that year, they originally planned to come back that day, but it was delayed because of something.
That's right, it was Jiang's cough, and the road was slippery in the snow, so they stayed there for an extra night.Thinking about it now, it was all too coincidental.They beat him by surprise with the force of thunder.And the second wife has no more children under her knees since then, but she no longer prevents him from taking concubines and marrying young children, and cut off the soup and medicine from the aunts, but the two brothers were held under her knees to raise them as soon as they were born.
At first he thought that she had changed her temper, but now he was thinking that she had no choice but to act.
Although the second wife tried several means to save her, the second room still plummeted in the eyes of her father.Even the father-in-law asked Chen Si to divorce his wife and remarry several times, but the second wife is also the daughter of everyone's first wife, so how could she just divorce her.Such a vicious move unexpectedly exceeded the result they wanted.
Even bigger gains.
Chen Si never knew that Aunt Jiang was also from the big house.In his opinion, Aunt Jiang is just a timid and gentle person, but unlike Aunt Su, she doesn't follow him all the way, and occasionally gives him a nail or two that is neither soft nor hard, which makes him very useful.
Originally thinking that this matter should be exposed right now, Ran Yong said unhurriedly, "Congratulations to Aunt Su for this second cup. It's really gratifying to be able to absorb Yuehua after a big step in cultivation. Hey."
Ran Yong raised his glass to the top of the pavilion from afar, only to hear a gust of wind whistling above, and then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.After a closer look, it was Aunt Su.She looked rather embarrassed, her face covered with disheveled hair.Looking at it from Lin Yan's point of view, it did not disappoint the previous beauty, leaving only unimaginable surprise.
But falling from the top of the pavilion reminded Lin Yan of the monster that lurked in the main courtyard that night.
Aunt Su wanted to ambush at the top of the pavilion, but there was the second lady below to attract their attention.But now that Ran Yong saw through and even took the lead in attacking, let alone ambush, she might even think twice about escaping.Ran Yong looked at Aunt Su, and a maid immediately added a seat.Aunt Su sat down step by step, it seems that she hurt her leg when she fell from the pavilion.
"It's boring to eat food and drink like this, why don't I tell a story as an appetizer."
Hearing what he said, Aunt Su trembled uncontrollably, her lips parted and finally swallowed the words helplessly.Nowadays, people use knives and I use fish and meat, so what else can be stopped.
Ran Yong glanced at Aunt Su again, finished his drink, and then said: "It is said to be a hundred years ago. There was a scholar's family who raised a kitten. This cat was abandoned at the end of the alley in the cold winter months. The scholar saw that it was dying and pitiful, and felt that such a small thing could not eat much, so he picked it up and raised it."
From the moment I finished talking about the second wife's child who died young, the atmosphere here has fallen into a stagnation.As a last resort, Lin Yan had no choice but to smooth things over, "Then this scholar is kind-hearted, what happened next?"
Ran Yong glanced sideways: "Why are you in a hurry. Others are not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry first." Having said that, the conversation continued.
"The scholar is originally poor, but he really did as he thought. This little thing can't eat much, and it takes three years to raise it in spring and autumn. During these three years, the scholar has achieved fame. With a beautiful wife, everything is in order. It is thriving. When the neighbors see him, which one will not say 'good luck'."
"The scholar's wife became pregnant not long ago. It was a happy event. But since she was pregnant with this child, the wife has been lingering and sick, and it has become more and more serious. According to this momentum, I am afraid that her life will not be long. I have invited many doctors to see that it is not a serious problem. , Take a good rest. But my wife is still haggard day after day, leaving only a high swollen belly."
Ran Yong's voice is low and mellow, especially the winding ending, which seems to be able to fall into people's hearts all the time.Such an unhurried attitude of telling a story is really very suitable.
Probably empathizing with her, the second lady asked: "Then how is this lady better?"
Ran Yong: "How can it be. In fact, if a doctor can't see anything, he will ask a knowledgeable person to take a look. But the scholar doesn't believe this, and just thinks that his wife has a strange disease that others can't treat. But it's still the case. Family life should not be ruined, although a doctor doesn't know what disease his wife has, but he has seen this symptom."
After finishing speaking, Ran Yong coughed and replied sternly.
'Old man, how should the disease be treated? Is it true that the medicine is ineffective? '
'Well, I have spent most of my life checking the pulse and asking for medicine.The wife's pulse condition is stable, the fetus' heartbeat is strong, and she will give birth tomorrow.But if this continues, not to mention the life of the wife, it is still unknown whether the fetus will be delivered smoothly.However, there is something I would like to ask.Have you ever had a cat in your family? "
'I have raised it, but I don't know where it has gone recently.The poor bitch is already like this, but he still remembers that little bastard, now he is no different than before.It just didn't have to eat or drink for a while, and it ran so fast, it really didn't think of the slightest kindness. '
The second lady interrupted when she heard this displeasure: "This scholar's speech is really ugly. The cats and dogs have nothing to eat or drink, and they must be hungry. But this cat is also, the mistress reads it like this, Why don't you come back?"
After listening to the story for so long, Lin Yan could only nod his head. Seeing that they were listening to the story without moving their chopsticks, he could only pour himself a cup to barely fill his stomach.It's just that before he drank it, Ran Yong took it.
"Second Madam, it's not too late to draw conclusions after hearing my story." Ran Yong glanced at Lin Yan, stretched out a finger under the table and shook him lightly, a gesture of rejection.Does this mean that he cannot drink?
Seeing the different expressions of the people at the table, Lin Yan suddenly felt that this meal was a bit like a grand banquet.
"The doctor heard that the scholar's family had a cat, and heard that the cat had not been seen for a long time, so he probably ran away. He had an idea in his mind. He knew that the scholar did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he invited a knowledgeable person, but only for the scholar. Said, this is his colleague, a master of rejuvenation.
Naturally, the scholar offered good wine and good food, so this person is quite strange.Day and night, like a night owl.One night, the scholar studied until midnight, but saw this man staring at the roof with piercing eyes.Ask him why, but the man motioned him to keep quiet.
The night was cold and dew heavy, quiet and silent.There was a rustling sound from the roof, and the scholar thought it was a thief at first, but after listening to it for a while, the cold sweat on his forehead immediately came down.The frequency of the sound sounded almost non-stop for a moment, as if the sole of the front foot fell, and the sole of the rear foot immediately followed. Which thief would always maintain this frequency to steal.Is it because I am afraid that the master will not find out?
After another two or three hours, the sound will disappear when the sky is bright.The scholar spent the whole night in shock, so scared that he was scared out of his wits.At dawn in the morning, the knowledgeable man tricked him into wiping his eyes with cow's tears, only then did he realize that the cat had never been lost.
A half-human-sized cat was lying on his wife's belly, staring straight at him with a pair of miserable green eyes.
Shocked, the scholar backed away repeatedly, and the cat also fled away, and has since disappeared. "
Suddenly, many doubts were left at the end, and the second lady quickly said: "Then, does this mean that the cat harmed the owner? If so, then this cat is really ungrateful."
After she said this, Aunt Su's eyes darkened a bit.
Ran Yong took a closer look, stretched out his hand to support his chin and said lazily: "It may not be the cat's fault, ordinary people can't keep this thing, but once ordinary people keep it for more than three years, this thing will become a monster." Yes. After people drink the water she touches, they will not see her. This is the reason why the cat disappeared in the eyes of the scholar for no reason. And if there are spirits around people, they will naturally weaken. But this cat is not Those who want to harm others will know that she is still guarding the mistress, and they are doing bad things with good intentions."
"Aunt Su, do you think so?"
These words went round and round and drew people's attention to her, and the few people sitting here were no longer considered human.Lenovo's words just now are naturally thought-provoking.
Aunt Su forced a smile, "That's the question. I don't have a place to talk, but just listen to a story."
This defines the nature of the inside and outside of the words, but it is just a story, how can it be taken as the truth?
Ran Yong didn't point it out either, but the next moment he challenged Aunt Su, "Since Aunt Su said so, I wonder if you can clear up my confusion. You said you were a Jinhua cat cultivator, where did you threaten one?" The victim who can enter the dream is a child?"
The author has something to say: Hello everyone~ Have you eaten dumplings?It is said that the following is popular science time (づ ̄3 ̄)
Jinhua cat: Once raised in ordinary people's homes for three years, it will become a monster.The head of the house will gradually weaken. If it is a man who is sick and a male cat is caught, or on the contrary, if a woman is sick and a female cat is caught, there is no cure, and the patient will die soon after.
傒 (xi) sac (nang): Like a child, it stretches out its hand to pull it when it sees someone, but it dies as soon as the person arrives at the place where it lives.
☆、Chapter Seventeen
The remaining blood on Aunt Su's face also faded with Ran Yong's words.Her pupils were wide open, and the veins on her neck were bulging. She seemed to have endless words to say, but she couldn't ask anything.I don't even know where to ask.
"Where did this start? I have never heard of what kind of bag."
Seeing her rebuttal, Ran Yong added two small pieces of charcoal to the warming gold-painted porcelain pot stove, and added: "Could it be that I remembered wrongly. I don't know if Aunt Su has ever seen an eleven or twelve-year-old child with a well-behaved and sensible personality. , with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and is very close to people.”
The more he talked, the more Aunt Su panicked.No, he shouldn't know.Obviously, these things should be old things. Shouldn’t everyone who knew about them have passed away long ago? !
Perhaps her expression was so frightened and sad that it was unbearable to see.Looking at Ran Yong's expressionless face, Lin Yan felt a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet.Until now, Lin Yan had only one thought, but luckily they were neither enemies nor grudges.
The snow fell outside the pavilion, and the swirling cold wind mixed with fine snow particles.However, although there was a bit of warmth in the pavilion, it was not considered cold, but everyone's complexion was not good-looking.
After a while, Aunt Su's eyes suddenly turned red, and then tears fell out one by one.Behind Ran Yong stood a child, biting his fingers and looking innocent.His complexion was very good, as if he hadn't suffered the slightest chill from the heavy snow.
Lin Yan knew this child.Xiaoxi, they met in a dream, he said he was lost, that he and his mother got separated.
Xiaoxi was no different from ordinary children, he looked at Aunt Su thoughtfully, looking a little scary.Even from the very beginning, it was too quiet here.
He walked around from behind Ran Yong, and leaned lightly on Aunt Su's lap: "Mother, is what he said true?"
Lin Yan sat at Aunt Su's lower position, looking from here.Although Aunt Su tried her best to control herself, she couldn't help but tremble.She tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Xiaoxi, listen to A Niang's explanation. It's not like this, it's not this—"
Before she finished speaking, a large bloody hole had opened in her chest.
Aunt Su's expression froze for an instant, the fear on her face hadn't dissipated, but it had been replaced by disbelief.Another child jumped out from behind her with a smile, his face was exactly the same as Xiaoxi's.
He wrinkled his nose and said childishly, "Hmph, liar."
Xiaoxi was still lying on Aunt Su's lap, he raised his head in a daze, as if waking up from a dream: "It's not my mother who lied to me for so many years, damn it."
Ran Yong looked at these two faces who couldn't distinguish between real and fake, and finally dropped his glass: "It can be regarded as waiting for you. Don't talk about this level, you still plan to hear when you will come out."
After hearing this sentence, the second lady was taken aback. Could it be that this person started asking Aunt Su just as a pretense, with the fundamental purpose of attracting these two children?
Xiaoxi blinked, she didn't seem to feel any guilt at all because of Aunt Su's death: "If I don't come out, what are you going to do?"
Ran Yong seemed to be caught by this question, and he really thought about it: "If this is the case, I can only force you out here, what else can I do."
Startled by his words, Xiao Xi rolled her eyes and wanted to avoid Lin Yan.It's just that he was bound invisible before he even took half a step.
"It's up to you to go back with me obediently, or to suffer a lot. You choose." Ran Yong glanced nonchalantly at the snow that was still falling outside, and they twisted into small gusts of air and rushed towards the person's face .
Both Xiaoxi and the child with the same face as his were trapped invisibly, and Xiaoxi looked at him with wide eyes.Lin Yan actually couldn't bear to be stared at like this, after all, the child in the dream didn't attack him.And it looks like he's still so small.But Aunt Su's body was still inside the pavilion, he thought he was not so kind to blind.
"Don't look at him. What I admire most about him is that although he doesn't know people clearly, he won't cause me any trouble."
Lin Yan: Even though you're praising me, it always feels like something's not right, excuseme? ?
After hearing this, Xiaoxi spread his hands and raised his head: "Okay, okay, I will obediently send his soul back, is this okay, can you let me go?"
Ran Yong didn't make a sound, but the invisible strength on Xiaoxi's body loosened.He moved his wrist and stood still angrily.The child behind him with the same face as him, except for the first sentence of 'liar', has been standing behind him without moving.Lin Yan didn't know if it was his own illusion, but for a moment, he always felt that the child's wrist moved following Xiao Xi.
But regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, Ran Yong and Lin Yan had let them succeed last time in Unknown Mountain. This time, Ran Yong and Lin Yan were on guard. Naturally, they would rather kill by mistake than let him go.Just as the child behind Xiaoxi was about to move, he found countless bright and sharp lines in front of him.
"Don't think about other ideas, it's useless." Ran Yong glanced at him, Xiao Xi gritted his teeth, and turned to look at the second lady again.
The second lady was stared at by Xiao Xi, her pupils dilated and her breathing quickened, as if someone had strangled her throat.Ran Yong sighed and frowned tightly, he had never seen such a child who was so stubborn and disobedient.
"Don't think about the Second Madam either. She should have lived a long and blessed life, but unfortunately she was disturbed by you. For the remaining few years, she should be allowed to live a clean life."
Xiaoxi became quiet when she heard the words, "Is it because of us that she lost her blessing?"
Ran Yong didn't want to answer his question, but seeing his unstoppable momentum, he felt a headache again.So, to deal with a shrewd person like the second lady, you just need to be better at going around in circles than she is.But what should we do with this kind of broken casserole?
I can only say: "Don't think too much."
Probably because the second wife was really kind to him, Xiao Xi felt a little guilty in her eyes: "Can't she live for two more years?"
If someone talks about life and death in front of the person concerned like this, don't say get annoyed, at least you should care about it.But the second wife is very casual. Now that she is not controlled by Aunt Su, her mind is much clearer, and many distracting thoughts from the past have been eliminated at once. The whole person seems to have changed from the inside to the outside.
Ran Yong looked at the second lady carefully and shook his head.Her lifeline has been consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she really has only a few years to live.For the remaining few years, there is only a little left because Aunt Su is dead and can no longer control the second wife.
In fact, it's just lingering, but instead of regretting, it's better to live these few years happily.
Xiaoxi looked at the second lady, as if making a decision.He still remembered the woman's withered hands touching his face, calling his name word by word.She really loves him as her own child, which is different from Aunt Su who treats him as an object that can/can be/manipulated.
"Can you let her live for two more years?" Xiaoxi stared straight at Ran Yong. Hearing his words, even the second wife, who had never been interested in this topic, was a little surprised, as if she didn't understand why he would think of others for nothing .
Ran Yong raised his eyebrows: "Yes, yes, but why should I betray your favor?"
Chen Si: "You are a businessman, as long as the money and things are equal." He was a little embarrassed in the middle of the sentence, as if he remembered something about the unknown mountain, and then changed the subject very quickly, "What's more, this child might be real. How about fun?"
Ran Yong was noncommittal: "That's true. Then what can you trade with me? Although twin bags are very rare, they are useless. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business."
Once there is a basis for bargaining, things become easier.Xiao Xi thought for a while and said, "Aren't you curious why Xiao Nang and I can lure him into a dream? I can tell you why. What do you think of this deal?"
After saying this, Lin Yan was so angry that he jumped his feet. No matter how it sounds, it sounds like he is trying to trick them, okay?Just as he was angry, Xiaoxi added fuel to the fire.
"Shall I send his soul back to his body for free? If he is in this state without me, it's not easy to send him back."
Sit down and start the price!Profiteer!threaten!Show face!
Lin Yan felt that he couldn't go up or down in one breath, and he was almost suffocated into internal injuries.However, Ran Yong had already opened his mouth to answer, Lin Yan looked at Xiao Xi's innocent smile, and felt even more angry, what should he do?
"Actually, it's because of the cloud disk."
Cooperating around and around and back.Ran Yong signaled Lin Yan to take out the plate and have a look, but Lin Yan was so angry that he couldn't cooperate so much.
This look of "I don't listen, I don't listen" really made Ran Yong angry and funny.I could only helplessly slap him on the head, "Don't make trouble, what a petty temper."
Lin Yan felt that half of his body was softened by his slap, and when he heard the end of his breath, he felt that the remaining half of his body also declared surrender.
Coach, he fouled.Can this hold up?
Absolutely no way!
Although his head was already full of lust, Lin Yan still carefully placed the moiré plate on the empty corner of the table.
Xiaoxi tapped the plate a few times regularly, and the moiré lines on the plate moved slowly.Just like when they first saw it, it condensed into the shape of a human eye.It's just that it was suppressed by Ran Yong's force at that time, but now it is the right way.
The red human eye was lying on the plate, but there was no red line like it did back then.Xiaoxi turned the moiré disks upside down very slowly, and at this moment the human eyes appeared upside down.
"Most people will put it upright. If it is put upright, it will lead people into dreams. This cloud pattern plate was originally made for burial, and it can be regarded as a defense in the tomb. A lot of them died under what they thought were precious artifacts."
As for the means to lure people into a dream, they are very clear.The red thread in the plate will eat them up in their sleep and eat them up.
Lin Yan still had lingering fears when he saw the blood-red human eye again: "Although this moiré plate can lure people into dreams, how did you get in my dreams?"
Xiaoxi spread her hands: "At that time, I was arrested as a coolie repairing the tomb passage. After the tomb passage was repaired, those officials sealed us inside. When I woke up, it was already like this."
So if you want to ask why it appeared in your dream, it is probably because Xiaoxi and this plate have also become a symbiotic relationship.Besides, it is indeed a common practice in the old days to seal the craftsmen alive in the tomb for the safety of the tomb.It's just that such a thing is said from a child's mouth, even if it is only a few words, one can still feel the tragedy.
Ran Yong: "So what you want to trade with me is the usage of this moiré disk?"
Xiao Xi bared her little canine teeth and said, "Send him back for free."
Lin Yan's mood seems to be getting worse now.This emotion lasted until he was on the way back to Wuhe, there were still bones everywhere around him, and the stench and greasy aroma lingered all the way, making people feel depressed for no reason.The only thing that changed was that this time Ran Yong was at the front, and he followed closely behind, while Chen Si was at the end.
The bottomless Wu River was swaying with water patterns in circles, and the cloud pattern plate in his arms was a little creepy.There are also sunrise and sunset here. At this moment, the sunset glow hangs on the water, as if the water is like a rainbow and brocade.Lin Yan made a wrong step and stopped, but suddenly received an external force behind him.
When the pitch-black river water poured into his mouth and nose, what he saw was that there was no one behind him.
The author has something to say: Aunt Su: I think I can do another rescue. . . .
The soldiers were in a hurry to stop by. . .Bitter heart(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
☆、Chapter Eighteen
When it really fell into it, the water of the Wuhe River had no smell at all.It's just that it's bone-piercingly cold, and the temperature doesn't pass slowly, but suddenly like ice.
Lin Yan felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, as if there were countless hands behind him pulling him, dragging him down hard.He turned over in the cold river water, and the closest hand bone almost penetrated his ribs, but the moment the hand bone was about to touch him, it turned into water vapor.
He glanced disdainfully at the receded bones behind him, and saw that there was no movement above.He stretched out his hand and touched the corner of his lips, feeling quite unsatisfied.
Ah, this time it was rewarding.Something in his arms moved uneasily.He reached out and took out the cloud pattern plate, but it still couldn't let him sit back and relax.
The scarlet was even better on the board, but it quickly dimmed, as if it had never happened.
Hearing the sound of water entering from above, Lin Yan's expression was confused.The sticky feeling behind him climbed up again, but this time it was a little more flattering.
He tilted his head and glanced. Countless women with lingering grievances were chained at the bottom of the river. Their black hair was tangled together. Occasionally, living things that fell into the water were entangled in their hair, but they lost their vitality after a long time.Black air emanated from them, staining the surrounding river water.Repeatedly, it is no wonder that the water is as thick and black as ink.
Some of them hold a brush and thrush and look at the mirror to feel sorry for themselves, while some hold a shriveled skin.One of them, who was more courageous, took the initiative to climb behind him, rubbing his cheek against him affectionately.Her arms are soft and her complexion is beautiful.Just looking at others quietly like this makes people feel lost.
She cautiously got a little closer to Lin Yan, but before she could react, she was picked up by the backhand and thrown down.
Lin Yan didn't kill him, after all, they were just poor people who were imprisoned in the past.
The light above his head flickered, Lin Yan's breath stagnated, and a sip of water caught off guard and choked into his throat.The wrist was pulled up, and when he breathed the air above, even the unbearable stench in the air seemed to be much lighter.
Ran Yong wiped the water on his face, and the water drops fell from his face, and the thin clothes stuck to his slashed waist, it was really pretty.He usually doesn't like to talk and looks a little old-fashioned, but it's rare to stare at him like this to show emotion.
Lin Yan suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry.
"I've said it all to make you a little defensive, but you just don't listen." He said in a slightly choking tone, "Can't you have a better memory?"
Lin Yan supported his waist, his eyes darkened: "You are right, I was too careless."
But soon his expression became gloomy again: "But why did he do this?"
Ran Yong, who wanted to push him back into the water, stopped, but the water of the Wuhe River seemed to be so cold that it reached his heart.
Lin Yan's voice was also low, as if he was afraid of offending him: "Did you already know that he would do this? That's why you said that when you left Unknown Mountain. Did you bring me here on purpose? One trip?"
Ran Yong wanted to say something else, saying that this kind of people can't see through the longing for the world, and they just opened the door for him when he went back. He tried every means to stay there, shouldn't you have seen through his heart a long time ago?
It's just that these words can't say anything.What Lin Yan said was right, he really had such thoughts in mind, it is not a good thing to trust others too easily, especially in a place like Unknown Mountain where there is a crisis lurking somewhere.But looking at Lin Yan's depression now, it's clearly not what he wanted.
He really owed him in his previous life.The hand on the waist was cold through the skin, and Ran Yong suddenly felt restless.He dragged and dragged him back to Unknown Mountain, and according to what Xiaoxi said, turning the cloud disc upside down, it became very easy to attract the soul into the body.
After they came back, Zhu Yan felt that something was weird.It took me a while to remember, isn't there one missing.Where did the second generation ancestor go?
"Aren't you brought back by the second generation ancestor? Why are you all back and he is not here? Where did you go to live a happy life?"
While talking, Zhu Yan touched the fresh green branches on the plum vase, and only heard a clear and moist voice let out a vicious pooh, and the branches were pulled back into the vase.Zhu Yan resentfully said something stingy, then looked at Lin Yan and the others again.
In fact, it was good that Zhu Yan didn't mention Chen Si, but mentioning it would be like adding salt to the wound.In fact, Lin Yan is not so much sad now as he is blaming himself.If he hadn't believed in kneeling figurines back then, if he hadn't believed in Chen Si back then.Ran Yong didn't have to go through such a lot of trouble, but he still felt a little sad for some reason.
Ran Yong lay silent on the couch, and Lin Yan, who was sitting on the bamboo chair, remained silent.Zhu Yan didn't think much of it, he only thought that they hadn't gotten used to it when they came back, "It's good that Xiaoyan is safe and well, but speaking of which, this plate is really evil, why did you pick someone to start with?"
Zhu Yan gritted his teeth, thinking of the cloud-pattern plate kept in the back now, he couldn't get angry.Things are good things, but as long as he thinks about Lin Yan almost losing his life because of this thing, he feels uncomfortable.
Ran Yong half-opened his eyes: "It's not picking someone to attack. At that time, you and I, Chen Si, and Lin Yan." He paused slightly imperceptibly when he mentioned the word Lin Yan, and then continued: "Only Lin Yan is A living person, that's why I got tricked. I was careless."
There was a bit of guilt in the words, but he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep before anyone could take a closer look.
Zhu Yan rubbed his nose boredly. It seemed that he didn't hear anything interesting from Ran Yong, so he said to Lin Yan: "Then did you encounter anything interesting in your business? Didn't it mean that it was very prosperous at that time?" .”
Lin Yan really didn't know what to say, and wanted to say something interesting.But he could only think that there was no one in the main courtyard that night, and now that he thought about it, it was probably Chen Si's handwriting.He also thought that when he talked about Aunt Su, he had a different expression, did he already know that Aunt Su is not very human.
All these points converged into a thread, which made him feel more and more uneasy the more he thought about it.The more I think about it, the more I feel heartbroken.He never wanted to think too badly of people, but such an end was to bring endless troubles to people.
Zhu Yan held up the broom and looked back, only to see that Lin Yan was already deep in thought.Turning around and looking at the boss who seriously puts sleep recovery as his top priority, Zhu Yan felt a little bright and sad.
These one and two, after walking away out of thin air, they all became dumb when they came back, hum!
Zhu Yan swept the floor with his little one. Although the atmosphere in the room was quiet, he was still happy with himself: "Hey, then have you found out how the second generation ancestor of Chen Si died? Are his aunts really there?" It's so pretty, hey, did you accidentally let that melon go away, really, I told you not to take me. Look, catch the trap!"
Zhu Yan was talking to himself while sweeping the floor in circles, but what he said was a wake-up call.Neither Aunt Su nor Xiaoxi had any reason to attack Chen Si.They went on this trip and only found out that Xiao Xi had died unexpectedly and the Cloud Pattern Pan had coexisted, but they didn't find anything about the cause of Chen Si's death.
Is it that there is no intersection with the cloud pattern plate at all, or is Chen Si hiding something from them, or is it simply that Chen Si told a big lie, just to let them take him back?
But all this is only based on inference.
In the heads of Ran Yong and Lin Yan, heaven and man had been fighting for several rounds, and Zhu Yan had already walked into the back room with a feather duster in his arms.The newly brought moiré plate has not been put into the box yet, but it has been marked and placed in a separate small cabinet against the wall in the back room.
This small cabinet is darker than usual, and some inconspicuous parts of the cabinet still have traces of fire.It is said that it is lightning strike wood, which is born to ward off evil spirits, and ordinary objects have to be honest when they enter it.
Besides, I don't know that there is Ran Yong in charge of the mountain, whoever wants to be a monster has to weigh himself, whether he can stand Ran Yong's most impatient temper.
But at this moment, Zhu Yan frowned and looked around, even got down on the ground and even looked at the bottom of the cabinet thoughtfully.But it was clean, not even a speck of dust, and the cloud pattern plate was gone.
Zhu Yan felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat. This matter is both trivial and novel, but in any case, this thing is at least three-pointed evil, what if it comes out and hurts people.
I feel like my hair is going to be sad, and my baby is suffering!
However, the most important thing is not to be in a hurry here, Zhu Yan lifted the curtain: "Boss, that cloud plate is gone!"
Ran Yong got up from the couch and went into the back room, just half a step in, he seemed to remember something, and pointed at Lin Yan who was in a trance: "Come in together, don't be alone these few days."
After all, the moiré disk had approached Lin Yan in the first place, so no one could tell if it would threaten retaliation.It's always good to be careful.
It was the first time for Lin Yan to enter here, and the drawers on the cabinet all looked the same.Chou Yinmao couldn't be distinguished at all, so Lin Yan turned around inside and lost his sense of direction.I saw Ran Yong standing still in front of a drawer, it seems that there is something wrong with this drawer.
"
The second lady didn't match her words, but she could still make up a general idea from it.The sister Jiang she mentioned was Chen Si's favorite aunt three years ago.Back then, not to mention Aunt Su, even the second wife had to stand aside.Aunt Su's most knowledgeable and interesting thing is to know how to measure, so the Second Madam has always treated her very well and never lacked her in anything.
However, although this Aunt Jiang is a son of a good family, she has a domineering and arrogant personality. If this is the case, she will be fine with beating and beating.But how could the second Mrs. Chen expect that in this back house, people can eat people so much without spitting out their bones.
The second lady poured herself another glass: "Although spring starts early, it was the same that day. The morning was gloomy, as if it was going to snow. I went to see my mother-in-law, but accidentally fell on the way."
Hearing that Chen Si choked up his breath, the expression on his face became ferocious.Accidentally fell?Her usual caution is beyond words.What's more, after it snows, there are special people watching and cleaning up the corridors, how can they fall so easily?
"I was lying in the snow for more than half an hour. Later the doctor came and said that if it could be done earlier, maybe the child could be saved. I also damaged my body because of this, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give birth again. "
Speaking of the second wife, the smile deepened, "So I packed up a group of maids and women, and then the back house was tidied up, isn't it much neater?"
A few short words were enough to describe the pain, she struggled on the corridor in the ice and snow, what kind of bearing did she talk about.She struggled to hold the hand of the big servant girl beside her, begged her humbly, then threatened her, and then she tried to trick her with blood.
She still remembers the servant girl's unbearable but daring expression, and no one passing by, all of this was premeditated.Even if it is pursued in the end, it will be sealed by the big maid.Couldn't bite into anything else at all.
Chen Siqi's eyes were red, and the veins in his hands were bulging, "Why didn't you tell me then."
"Tell?" The second lady lengthened the ending, and burst out laughing, "My friend, what were you doing at that time, enjoying the scenery, listening to the play with Sister Jiang, or talking to her personally?"
"Tiger poison does not eat its children, if I knew, I would definitely not let them go!"
Hearing that the second lady was still smiling, she raised her eyelids coldly, "How do you know that I didn't send someone to beg you? Liu Chun, the big maid beside me, saw that I hadn't gone back for a long time, so she finally got a chance I went to beg you, but I never came back. And you, you didn’t even come back that day, so you’re not really my enemy.”
He couldn't hear the sarcasm in the words.Speaking of that year, they originally planned to come back that day, but it was delayed because of something.
That's right, it was Jiang's cough, and the road was slippery in the snow, so they stayed there for an extra night.Thinking about it now, it was all too coincidental.They beat him by surprise with the force of thunder.And the second wife has no more children under her knees since then, but she no longer prevents him from taking concubines and marrying young children, and cut off the soup and medicine from the aunts, but the two brothers were held under her knees to raise them as soon as they were born.
At first he thought that she had changed her temper, but now he was thinking that she had no choice but to act.
Although the second wife tried several means to save her, the second room still plummeted in the eyes of her father.Even the father-in-law asked Chen Si to divorce his wife and remarry several times, but the second wife is also the daughter of everyone's first wife, so how could she just divorce her.Such a vicious move unexpectedly exceeded the result they wanted.
Even bigger gains.
Chen Si never knew that Aunt Jiang was also from the big house.In his opinion, Aunt Jiang is just a timid and gentle person, but unlike Aunt Su, she doesn't follow him all the way, and occasionally gives him a nail or two that is neither soft nor hard, which makes him very useful.
Originally thinking that this matter should be exposed right now, Ran Yong said unhurriedly, "Congratulations to Aunt Su for this second cup. It's really gratifying to be able to absorb Yuehua after a big step in cultivation. Hey."
Ran Yong raised his glass to the top of the pavilion from afar, only to hear a gust of wind whistling above, and then the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.After a closer look, it was Aunt Su.She looked rather embarrassed, her face covered with disheveled hair.Looking at it from Lin Yan's point of view, it did not disappoint the previous beauty, leaving only unimaginable surprise.
But falling from the top of the pavilion reminded Lin Yan of the monster that lurked in the main courtyard that night.
Aunt Su wanted to ambush at the top of the pavilion, but there was the second lady below to attract their attention.But now that Ran Yong saw through and even took the lead in attacking, let alone ambush, she might even think twice about escaping.Ran Yong looked at Aunt Su, and a maid immediately added a seat.Aunt Su sat down step by step, it seems that she hurt her leg when she fell from the pavilion.
"It's boring to eat food and drink like this, why don't I tell a story as an appetizer."
Hearing what he said, Aunt Su trembled uncontrollably, her lips parted and finally swallowed the words helplessly.Nowadays, people use knives and I use fish and meat, so what else can be stopped.
Ran Yong glanced at Aunt Su again, finished his drink, and then said: "It is said to be a hundred years ago. There was a scholar's family who raised a kitten. This cat was abandoned at the end of the alley in the cold winter months. The scholar saw that it was dying and pitiful, and felt that such a small thing could not eat much, so he picked it up and raised it."
From the moment I finished talking about the second wife's child who died young, the atmosphere here has fallen into a stagnation.As a last resort, Lin Yan had no choice but to smooth things over, "Then this scholar is kind-hearted, what happened next?"
Ran Yong glanced sideways: "Why are you in a hurry. Others are not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry first." Having said that, the conversation continued.
"The scholar is originally poor, but he really did as he thought. This little thing can't eat much, and it takes three years to raise it in spring and autumn. During these three years, the scholar has achieved fame. With a beautiful wife, everything is in order. It is thriving. When the neighbors see him, which one will not say 'good luck'."
"The scholar's wife became pregnant not long ago. It was a happy event. But since she was pregnant with this child, the wife has been lingering and sick, and it has become more and more serious. According to this momentum, I am afraid that her life will not be long. I have invited many doctors to see that it is not a serious problem. , Take a good rest. But my wife is still haggard day after day, leaving only a high swollen belly."
Ran Yong's voice is low and mellow, especially the winding ending, which seems to be able to fall into people's hearts all the time.Such an unhurried attitude of telling a story is really very suitable.
Probably empathizing with her, the second lady asked: "Then how is this lady better?"
Ran Yong: "How can it be. In fact, if a doctor can't see anything, he will ask a knowledgeable person to take a look. But the scholar doesn't believe this, and just thinks that his wife has a strange disease that others can't treat. But it's still the case. Family life should not be ruined, although a doctor doesn't know what disease his wife has, but he has seen this symptom."
After finishing speaking, Ran Yong coughed and replied sternly.
'Old man, how should the disease be treated? Is it true that the medicine is ineffective? '
'Well, I have spent most of my life checking the pulse and asking for medicine.The wife's pulse condition is stable, the fetus' heartbeat is strong, and she will give birth tomorrow.But if this continues, not to mention the life of the wife, it is still unknown whether the fetus will be delivered smoothly.However, there is something I would like to ask.Have you ever had a cat in your family? "
'I have raised it, but I don't know where it has gone recently.The poor bitch is already like this, but he still remembers that little bastard, now he is no different than before.It just didn't have to eat or drink for a while, and it ran so fast, it really didn't think of the slightest kindness. '
The second lady interrupted when she heard this displeasure: "This scholar's speech is really ugly. The cats and dogs have nothing to eat or drink, and they must be hungry. But this cat is also, the mistress reads it like this, Why don't you come back?"
After listening to the story for so long, Lin Yan could only nod his head. Seeing that they were listening to the story without moving their chopsticks, he could only pour himself a cup to barely fill his stomach.It's just that before he drank it, Ran Yong took it.
"Second Madam, it's not too late to draw conclusions after hearing my story." Ran Yong glanced at Lin Yan, stretched out a finger under the table and shook him lightly, a gesture of rejection.Does this mean that he cannot drink?
Seeing the different expressions of the people at the table, Lin Yan suddenly felt that this meal was a bit like a grand banquet.
"The doctor heard that the scholar's family had a cat, and heard that the cat had not been seen for a long time, so he probably ran away. He had an idea in his mind. He knew that the scholar did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he invited a knowledgeable person, but only for the scholar. Said, this is his colleague, a master of rejuvenation.
Naturally, the scholar offered good wine and good food, so this person is quite strange.Day and night, like a night owl.One night, the scholar studied until midnight, but saw this man staring at the roof with piercing eyes.Ask him why, but the man motioned him to keep quiet.
The night was cold and dew heavy, quiet and silent.There was a rustling sound from the roof, and the scholar thought it was a thief at first, but after listening to it for a while, the cold sweat on his forehead immediately came down.The frequency of the sound sounded almost non-stop for a moment, as if the sole of the front foot fell, and the sole of the rear foot immediately followed. Which thief would always maintain this frequency to steal.Is it because I am afraid that the master will not find out?
After another two or three hours, the sound will disappear when the sky is bright.The scholar spent the whole night in shock, so scared that he was scared out of his wits.At dawn in the morning, the knowledgeable man tricked him into wiping his eyes with cow's tears, only then did he realize that the cat had never been lost.
A half-human-sized cat was lying on his wife's belly, staring straight at him with a pair of miserable green eyes.
Shocked, the scholar backed away repeatedly, and the cat also fled away, and has since disappeared. "
Suddenly, many doubts were left at the end, and the second lady quickly said: "Then, does this mean that the cat harmed the owner? If so, then this cat is really ungrateful."
After she said this, Aunt Su's eyes darkened a bit.
Ran Yong took a closer look, stretched out his hand to support his chin and said lazily: "It may not be the cat's fault, ordinary people can't keep this thing, but once ordinary people keep it for more than three years, this thing will become a monster." Yes. After people drink the water she touches, they will not see her. This is the reason why the cat disappeared in the eyes of the scholar for no reason. And if there are spirits around people, they will naturally weaken. But this cat is not Those who want to harm others will know that she is still guarding the mistress, and they are doing bad things with good intentions."
"Aunt Su, do you think so?"
These words went round and round and drew people's attention to her, and the few people sitting here were no longer considered human.Lenovo's words just now are naturally thought-provoking.
Aunt Su forced a smile, "That's the question. I don't have a place to talk, but just listen to a story."
This defines the nature of the inside and outside of the words, but it is just a story, how can it be taken as the truth?
Ran Yong didn't point it out either, but the next moment he challenged Aunt Su, "Since Aunt Su said so, I wonder if you can clear up my confusion. You said you were a Jinhua cat cultivator, where did you threaten one?" The victim who can enter the dream is a child?"
The author has something to say: Hello everyone~ Have you eaten dumplings?It is said that the following is popular science time (づ ̄3 ̄)
Jinhua cat: Once raised in ordinary people's homes for three years, it will become a monster.The head of the house will gradually weaken. If it is a man who is sick and a male cat is caught, or on the contrary, if a woman is sick and a female cat is caught, there is no cure, and the patient will die soon after.
傒 (xi) sac (nang): Like a child, it stretches out its hand to pull it when it sees someone, but it dies as soon as the person arrives at the place where it lives.
☆、Chapter Seventeen
The remaining blood on Aunt Su's face also faded with Ran Yong's words.Her pupils were wide open, and the veins on her neck were bulging. She seemed to have endless words to say, but she couldn't ask anything.I don't even know where to ask.
"Where did this start? I have never heard of what kind of bag."
Seeing her rebuttal, Ran Yong added two small pieces of charcoal to the warming gold-painted porcelain pot stove, and added: "Could it be that I remembered wrongly. I don't know if Aunt Su has ever seen an eleven or twelve-year-old child with a well-behaved and sensible personality. , with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and is very close to people.”
The more he talked, the more Aunt Su panicked.No, he shouldn't know.Obviously, these things should be old things. Shouldn’t everyone who knew about them have passed away long ago? !
Perhaps her expression was so frightened and sad that it was unbearable to see.Looking at Ran Yong's expressionless face, Lin Yan felt a chill creeping up from the soles of his feet.Until now, Lin Yan had only one thought, but luckily they were neither enemies nor grudges.
The snow fell outside the pavilion, and the swirling cold wind mixed with fine snow particles.However, although there was a bit of warmth in the pavilion, it was not considered cold, but everyone's complexion was not good-looking.
After a while, Aunt Su's eyes suddenly turned red, and then tears fell out one by one.Behind Ran Yong stood a child, biting his fingers and looking innocent.His complexion was very good, as if he hadn't suffered the slightest chill from the heavy snow.
Lin Yan knew this child.Xiaoxi, they met in a dream, he said he was lost, that he and his mother got separated.
Xiaoxi was no different from ordinary children, he looked at Aunt Su thoughtfully, looking a little scary.Even from the very beginning, it was too quiet here.
He walked around from behind Ran Yong, and leaned lightly on Aunt Su's lap: "Mother, is what he said true?"
Lin Yan sat at Aunt Su's lower position, looking from here.Although Aunt Su tried her best to control herself, she couldn't help but tremble.She tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Xiaoxi, listen to A Niang's explanation. It's not like this, it's not this—"
Before she finished speaking, a large bloody hole had opened in her chest.
Aunt Su's expression froze for an instant, the fear on her face hadn't dissipated, but it had been replaced by disbelief.Another child jumped out from behind her with a smile, his face was exactly the same as Xiaoxi's.
He wrinkled his nose and said childishly, "Hmph, liar."
Xiaoxi was still lying on Aunt Su's lap, he raised his head in a daze, as if waking up from a dream: "It's not my mother who lied to me for so many years, damn it."
Ran Yong looked at these two faces who couldn't distinguish between real and fake, and finally dropped his glass: "It can be regarded as waiting for you. Don't talk about this level, you still plan to hear when you will come out."
After hearing this sentence, the second lady was taken aback. Could it be that this person started asking Aunt Su just as a pretense, with the fundamental purpose of attracting these two children?
Xiaoxi blinked, she didn't seem to feel any guilt at all because of Aunt Su's death: "If I don't come out, what are you going to do?"
Ran Yong seemed to be caught by this question, and he really thought about it: "If this is the case, I can only force you out here, what else can I do."
Startled by his words, Xiao Xi rolled her eyes and wanted to avoid Lin Yan.It's just that he was bound invisible before he even took half a step.
"It's up to you to go back with me obediently, or to suffer a lot. You choose." Ran Yong glanced nonchalantly at the snow that was still falling outside, and they twisted into small gusts of air and rushed towards the person's face .
Both Xiaoxi and the child with the same face as his were trapped invisibly, and Xiaoxi looked at him with wide eyes.Lin Yan actually couldn't bear to be stared at like this, after all, the child in the dream didn't attack him.And it looks like he's still so small.But Aunt Su's body was still inside the pavilion, he thought he was not so kind to blind.
"Don't look at him. What I admire most about him is that although he doesn't know people clearly, he won't cause me any trouble."
Lin Yan: Even though you're praising me, it always feels like something's not right, excuseme? ?
After hearing this, Xiaoxi spread his hands and raised his head: "Okay, okay, I will obediently send his soul back, is this okay, can you let me go?"
Ran Yong didn't make a sound, but the invisible strength on Xiaoxi's body loosened.He moved his wrist and stood still angrily.The child behind him with the same face as him, except for the first sentence of 'liar', has been standing behind him without moving.Lin Yan didn't know if it was his own illusion, but for a moment, he always felt that the child's wrist moved following Xiao Xi.
But regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, Ran Yong and Lin Yan had let them succeed last time in Unknown Mountain. This time, Ran Yong and Lin Yan were on guard. Naturally, they would rather kill by mistake than let him go.Just as the child behind Xiaoxi was about to move, he found countless bright and sharp lines in front of him.
"Don't think about other ideas, it's useless." Ran Yong glanced at him, Xiao Xi gritted his teeth, and turned to look at the second lady again.
The second lady was stared at by Xiao Xi, her pupils dilated and her breathing quickened, as if someone had strangled her throat.Ran Yong sighed and frowned tightly, he had never seen such a child who was so stubborn and disobedient.
"Don't think about the Second Madam either. She should have lived a long and blessed life, but unfortunately she was disturbed by you. For the remaining few years, she should be allowed to live a clean life."
Xiaoxi became quiet when she heard the words, "Is it because of us that she lost her blessing?"
Ran Yong didn't want to answer his question, but seeing his unstoppable momentum, he felt a headache again.So, to deal with a shrewd person like the second lady, you just need to be better at going around in circles than she is.But what should we do with this kind of broken casserole?
I can only say: "Don't think too much."
Probably because the second wife was really kind to him, Xiao Xi felt a little guilty in her eyes: "Can't she live for two more years?"
If someone talks about life and death in front of the person concerned like this, don't say get annoyed, at least you should care about it.But the second wife is very casual. Now that she is not controlled by Aunt Su, her mind is much clearer, and many distracting thoughts from the past have been eliminated at once. The whole person seems to have changed from the inside to the outside.
Ran Yong looked at the second lady carefully and shook his head.Her lifeline has been consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she really has only a few years to live.For the remaining few years, there is only a little left because Aunt Su is dead and can no longer control the second wife.
In fact, it's just lingering, but instead of regretting, it's better to live these few years happily.
Xiaoxi looked at the second lady, as if making a decision.He still remembered the woman's withered hands touching his face, calling his name word by word.She really loves him as her own child, which is different from Aunt Su who treats him as an object that can/can be/manipulated.
"Can you let her live for two more years?" Xiaoxi stared straight at Ran Yong. Hearing his words, even the second wife, who had never been interested in this topic, was a little surprised, as if she didn't understand why he would think of others for nothing .
Ran Yong raised his eyebrows: "Yes, yes, but why should I betray your favor?"
Chen Si: "You are a businessman, as long as the money and things are equal." He was a little embarrassed in the middle of the sentence, as if he remembered something about the unknown mountain, and then changed the subject very quickly, "What's more, this child might be real. How about fun?"
Ran Yong was noncommittal: "That's true. Then what can you trade with me? Although twin bags are very rare, they are useless. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making business."
Once there is a basis for bargaining, things become easier.Xiao Xi thought for a while and said, "Aren't you curious why Xiao Nang and I can lure him into a dream? I can tell you why. What do you think of this deal?"
After saying this, Lin Yan was so angry that he jumped his feet. No matter how it sounds, it sounds like he is trying to trick them, okay?Just as he was angry, Xiaoxi added fuel to the fire.
"Shall I send his soul back to his body for free? If he is in this state without me, it's not easy to send him back."
Sit down and start the price!Profiteer!threaten!Show face!
Lin Yan felt that he couldn't go up or down in one breath, and he was almost suffocated into internal injuries.However, Ran Yong had already opened his mouth to answer, Lin Yan looked at Xiao Xi's innocent smile, and felt even more angry, what should he do?
"Actually, it's because of the cloud disk."
Cooperating around and around and back.Ran Yong signaled Lin Yan to take out the plate and have a look, but Lin Yan was so angry that he couldn't cooperate so much.
This look of "I don't listen, I don't listen" really made Ran Yong angry and funny.I could only helplessly slap him on the head, "Don't make trouble, what a petty temper."
Lin Yan felt that half of his body was softened by his slap, and when he heard the end of his breath, he felt that the remaining half of his body also declared surrender.
Coach, he fouled.Can this hold up?
Absolutely no way!
Although his head was already full of lust, Lin Yan still carefully placed the moiré plate on the empty corner of the table.
Xiaoxi tapped the plate a few times regularly, and the moiré lines on the plate moved slowly.Just like when they first saw it, it condensed into the shape of a human eye.It's just that it was suppressed by Ran Yong's force at that time, but now it is the right way.
The red human eye was lying on the plate, but there was no red line like it did back then.Xiaoxi turned the moiré disks upside down very slowly, and at this moment the human eyes appeared upside down.
"Most people will put it upright. If it is put upright, it will lead people into dreams. This cloud pattern plate was originally made for burial, and it can be regarded as a defense in the tomb. A lot of them died under what they thought were precious artifacts."
As for the means to lure people into a dream, they are very clear.The red thread in the plate will eat them up in their sleep and eat them up.
Lin Yan still had lingering fears when he saw the blood-red human eye again: "Although this moiré plate can lure people into dreams, how did you get in my dreams?"
Xiaoxi spread her hands: "At that time, I was arrested as a coolie repairing the tomb passage. After the tomb passage was repaired, those officials sealed us inside. When I woke up, it was already like this."
So if you want to ask why it appeared in your dream, it is probably because Xiaoxi and this plate have also become a symbiotic relationship.Besides, it is indeed a common practice in the old days to seal the craftsmen alive in the tomb for the safety of the tomb.It's just that such a thing is said from a child's mouth, even if it is only a few words, one can still feel the tragedy.
Ran Yong: "So what you want to trade with me is the usage of this moiré disk?"
Xiao Xi bared her little canine teeth and said, "Send him back for free."
Lin Yan's mood seems to be getting worse now.This emotion lasted until he was on the way back to Wuhe, there were still bones everywhere around him, and the stench and greasy aroma lingered all the way, making people feel depressed for no reason.The only thing that changed was that this time Ran Yong was at the front, and he followed closely behind, while Chen Si was at the end.
The bottomless Wu River was swaying with water patterns in circles, and the cloud pattern plate in his arms was a little creepy.There are also sunrise and sunset here. At this moment, the sunset glow hangs on the water, as if the water is like a rainbow and brocade.Lin Yan made a wrong step and stopped, but suddenly received an external force behind him.
When the pitch-black river water poured into his mouth and nose, what he saw was that there was no one behind him.
The author has something to say: Aunt Su: I think I can do another rescue. . . .
The soldiers were in a hurry to stop by. . .Bitter heart(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
☆、Chapter Eighteen
When it really fell into it, the water of the Wuhe River had no smell at all.It's just that it's bone-piercingly cold, and the temperature doesn't pass slowly, but suddenly like ice.
Lin Yan felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, as if there were countless hands behind him pulling him, dragging him down hard.He turned over in the cold river water, and the closest hand bone almost penetrated his ribs, but the moment the hand bone was about to touch him, it turned into water vapor.
He glanced disdainfully at the receded bones behind him, and saw that there was no movement above.He stretched out his hand and touched the corner of his lips, feeling quite unsatisfied.
Ah, this time it was rewarding.Something in his arms moved uneasily.He reached out and took out the cloud pattern plate, but it still couldn't let him sit back and relax.
The scarlet was even better on the board, but it quickly dimmed, as if it had never happened.
Hearing the sound of water entering from above, Lin Yan's expression was confused.The sticky feeling behind him climbed up again, but this time it was a little more flattering.
He tilted his head and glanced. Countless women with lingering grievances were chained at the bottom of the river. Their black hair was tangled together. Occasionally, living things that fell into the water were entangled in their hair, but they lost their vitality after a long time.Black air emanated from them, staining the surrounding river water.Repeatedly, it is no wonder that the water is as thick and black as ink.
Some of them hold a brush and thrush and look at the mirror to feel sorry for themselves, while some hold a shriveled skin.One of them, who was more courageous, took the initiative to climb behind him, rubbing his cheek against him affectionately.Her arms are soft and her complexion is beautiful.Just looking at others quietly like this makes people feel lost.
She cautiously got a little closer to Lin Yan, but before she could react, she was picked up by the backhand and thrown down.
Lin Yan didn't kill him, after all, they were just poor people who were imprisoned in the past.
The light above his head flickered, Lin Yan's breath stagnated, and a sip of water caught off guard and choked into his throat.The wrist was pulled up, and when he breathed the air above, even the unbearable stench in the air seemed to be much lighter.
Ran Yong wiped the water on his face, and the water drops fell from his face, and the thin clothes stuck to his slashed waist, it was really pretty.He usually doesn't like to talk and looks a little old-fashioned, but it's rare to stare at him like this to show emotion.
Lin Yan suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry.
"I've said it all to make you a little defensive, but you just don't listen." He said in a slightly choking tone, "Can't you have a better memory?"
Lin Yan supported his waist, his eyes darkened: "You are right, I was too careless."
But soon his expression became gloomy again: "But why did he do this?"
Ran Yong, who wanted to push him back into the water, stopped, but the water of the Wuhe River seemed to be so cold that it reached his heart.
Lin Yan's voice was also low, as if he was afraid of offending him: "Did you already know that he would do this? That's why you said that when you left Unknown Mountain. Did you bring me here on purpose? One trip?"
Ran Yong wanted to say something else, saying that this kind of people can't see through the longing for the world, and they just opened the door for him when he went back. He tried every means to stay there, shouldn't you have seen through his heart a long time ago?
It's just that these words can't say anything.What Lin Yan said was right, he really had such thoughts in mind, it is not a good thing to trust others too easily, especially in a place like Unknown Mountain where there is a crisis lurking somewhere.But looking at Lin Yan's depression now, it's clearly not what he wanted.
He really owed him in his previous life.The hand on the waist was cold through the skin, and Ran Yong suddenly felt restless.He dragged and dragged him back to Unknown Mountain, and according to what Xiaoxi said, turning the cloud disc upside down, it became very easy to attract the soul into the body.
After they came back, Zhu Yan felt that something was weird.It took me a while to remember, isn't there one missing.Where did the second generation ancestor go?
"Aren't you brought back by the second generation ancestor? Why are you all back and he is not here? Where did you go to live a happy life?"
While talking, Zhu Yan touched the fresh green branches on the plum vase, and only heard a clear and moist voice let out a vicious pooh, and the branches were pulled back into the vase.Zhu Yan resentfully said something stingy, then looked at Lin Yan and the others again.
In fact, it was good that Zhu Yan didn't mention Chen Si, but mentioning it would be like adding salt to the wound.In fact, Lin Yan is not so much sad now as he is blaming himself.If he hadn't believed in kneeling figurines back then, if he hadn't believed in Chen Si back then.Ran Yong didn't have to go through such a lot of trouble, but he still felt a little sad for some reason.
Ran Yong lay silent on the couch, and Lin Yan, who was sitting on the bamboo chair, remained silent.Zhu Yan didn't think much of it, he only thought that they hadn't gotten used to it when they came back, "It's good that Xiaoyan is safe and well, but speaking of which, this plate is really evil, why did you pick someone to start with?"
Zhu Yan gritted his teeth, thinking of the cloud-pattern plate kept in the back now, he couldn't get angry.Things are good things, but as long as he thinks about Lin Yan almost losing his life because of this thing, he feels uncomfortable.
Ran Yong half-opened his eyes: "It's not picking someone to attack. At that time, you and I, Chen Si, and Lin Yan." He paused slightly imperceptibly when he mentioned the word Lin Yan, and then continued: "Only Lin Yan is A living person, that's why I got tricked. I was careless."
There was a bit of guilt in the words, but he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep before anyone could take a closer look.
Zhu Yan rubbed his nose boredly. It seemed that he didn't hear anything interesting from Ran Yong, so he said to Lin Yan: "Then did you encounter anything interesting in your business? Didn't it mean that it was very prosperous at that time?" .”
Lin Yan really didn't know what to say, and wanted to say something interesting.But he could only think that there was no one in the main courtyard that night, and now that he thought about it, it was probably Chen Si's handwriting.He also thought that when he talked about Aunt Su, he had a different expression, did he already know that Aunt Su is not very human.
All these points converged into a thread, which made him feel more and more uneasy the more he thought about it.The more I think about it, the more I feel heartbroken.He never wanted to think too badly of people, but such an end was to bring endless troubles to people.
Zhu Yan held up the broom and looked back, only to see that Lin Yan was already deep in thought.Turning around and looking at the boss who seriously puts sleep recovery as his top priority, Zhu Yan felt a little bright and sad.
These one and two, after walking away out of thin air, they all became dumb when they came back, hum!
Zhu Yan swept the floor with his little one. Although the atmosphere in the room was quiet, he was still happy with himself: "Hey, then have you found out how the second generation ancestor of Chen Si died? Are his aunts really there?" It's so pretty, hey, did you accidentally let that melon go away, really, I told you not to take me. Look, catch the trap!"
Zhu Yan was talking to himself while sweeping the floor in circles, but what he said was a wake-up call.Neither Aunt Su nor Xiaoxi had any reason to attack Chen Si.They went on this trip and only found out that Xiao Xi had died unexpectedly and the Cloud Pattern Pan had coexisted, but they didn't find anything about the cause of Chen Si's death.
Is it that there is no intersection with the cloud pattern plate at all, or is Chen Si hiding something from them, or is it simply that Chen Si told a big lie, just to let them take him back?
But all this is only based on inference.
In the heads of Ran Yong and Lin Yan, heaven and man had been fighting for several rounds, and Zhu Yan had already walked into the back room with a feather duster in his arms.The newly brought moiré plate has not been put into the box yet, but it has been marked and placed in a separate small cabinet against the wall in the back room.
This small cabinet is darker than usual, and some inconspicuous parts of the cabinet still have traces of fire.It is said that it is lightning strike wood, which is born to ward off evil spirits, and ordinary objects have to be honest when they enter it.
Besides, I don't know that there is Ran Yong in charge of the mountain, whoever wants to be a monster has to weigh himself, whether he can stand Ran Yong's most impatient temper.
But at this moment, Zhu Yan frowned and looked around, even got down on the ground and even looked at the bottom of the cabinet thoughtfully.But it was clean, not even a speck of dust, and the cloud pattern plate was gone.
Zhu Yan felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat. This matter is both trivial and novel, but in any case, this thing is at least three-pointed evil, what if it comes out and hurts people.
I feel like my hair is going to be sad, and my baby is suffering!
However, the most important thing is not to be in a hurry here, Zhu Yan lifted the curtain: "Boss, that cloud plate is gone!"
Ran Yong got up from the couch and went into the back room, just half a step in, he seemed to remember something, and pointed at Lin Yan who was in a trance: "Come in together, don't be alone these few days."
After all, the moiré disk had approached Lin Yan in the first place, so no one could tell if it would threaten retaliation.It's always good to be careful.
It was the first time for Lin Yan to enter here, and the drawers on the cabinet all looked the same.Chou Yinmao couldn't be distinguished at all, so Lin Yan turned around inside and lost his sense of direction.I saw Ran Yong standing still in front of a drawer, it seems that there is something wrong with this drawer.
