Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

The man in front of him was dressed in gorgeous clothes, handsome and luxurious.The pretty Xinghe'er has a smack of emerald green at the end of her eyes, emitting an arrogant and somewhat ignorant light.

Gu Huai stared at him blankly, feeling that this person's expression and eyes were very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"Mr. Lan, what's going on here?" Fu An asked next to him.

Therefore, Lan Yuyan told them about Li Sheng digging people's hearts to cure her daughter, being revenged by ghosts, and finally being taken away by Black and White Wuchang.

After hearing Lan Yuyan's narration, Fu'an opened his mouth wide in surprise, unable to recover for a long time.Gu Huai lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before he asked leisurely, "How are Li Sheng's wife and daughter doing now?"

"Oh," Lan Yuyan rolled her eyes and said playfully, "His sick daughter committed suicide. She stabbed herself in the chest with a knife and said that she would pay for her father's life..."

Gu Huai's face turned pale all of a sudden, he took a step back staggeringly, Fu An quickly grabbed his arm and helped him stabilize his figure.

Lan Yuyan glanced at him, cupped his hands with a half-smile, and said, "Since Mr. Gu is in good health, it's inconvenient for Lan to stay here for a long time, so I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and turned into a green light and left.

Fu An stared dumbfounded at the place where Lan Yuyan disappeared, grinned his mouth into a wide arc, and excitedly said to Gu Huai: "That Mr. Lan turned out to be from a fairy family, no wonder he is so handsome and romantic, he doesn't look like a mortal at all. Hehe , this is the first time I, Fuan, have seen a god in my life!"

"That's right, someone who can talk to ghost messengers and develop friendship must be a god." Gu Huai replied absent-mindedly.

When he thought of the experience just now, besides being a little scared, there was a faint sadness in his heart.

The store owner Li Sheng's family naturally committed many crimes and their crimes are unforgivable, but they are indeed a group of poor people.Gu Huai didn't like to see such a story the most. Apart from making him fearful and angry, it made his heart ache beyond measure.

Because of fear, anger, and heartache, you want to run away.

He said to Fu'an, "It's time for us to hit the road."

Fu An nodded, bent over to pack his luggage.

Gu Huai sat on the head of the bed in a daze, and suddenly found that something was missing in the room. The green snake that was always hungry disappeared for some reason.

His heart trembled, he wouldn't be caught by someone and used to make wine, right?

Thinking of this, he began to squat down and look for snakes all over the ground.

Finally, under the bed, I met a pair of black and round eyes.The green snake lies coiled, its eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

Gu Huai chuckled and stretched out his arm towards the green snake.The snake spat out its letter, slowly crawled towards Gu Huai, and wrapped its body around his arm little by little.

Gu Huai brought out Erqing, poked the corner of its mouth with his hand, and asked, "Erqing, are you hungry?"

The green snake was noncommittal, quietly entangled Gu Huai, and closed her eyes as if she was extremely tired.

Gu Huai found a silvery fish scale hanging from the snake's body, so he reached out to help him remove it, but he pulled it twice, but he couldn't get it off no matter what.

"Strange, how did it grow scales?"

Er Qing lazily raised his eyelids, then closed them again.

After Gu Huai fiddled with the scales for a while, Fu An packed them up and saluted.Gu Huai carefully put the green snake into the bag, and stuffed it in a ball shape.

When the master and servant walked out of the inn, they found a disheveled, shapeless woman standing at the door, who was Li Sheng's wife.

Black and red blood stained her brown sackcloth, seeing Gu Huai and Fu An coming out, the woman rushed towards them like crazy.Fu'an shrank back in fright, Gu Huai protected Fu'an behind him, and looked at the woman warily.

The woman stopped in front of Gu Huai, her fingers trembling like dead branches stretched out towards him, grabbing Gu Huai's collar.

Her eyes were wide open, and the round and small irises were embedded in the large whites of the eyes, and they were covered with dense red blood threads like spider webs.Her chapped lips moved, and she asked hoarsely, "Have you seen my daughter?"

Gu Huai felt a pain in his heart, and let her grab his collar without any resistance, not knowing what to say.

"Have you seen my daughter?" the woman asked again, her voice amplified several times.

Gu Huai opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, the woman touched his face with a smile, and asked softly, "You are my daughter..."

The voice was a little soft, silly, and a little weird, and Gu Huai suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He quickly waved that hand away, and pulled Fu An away as if fleeing.

A woman's miserable howl came from behind: "Ninny, don't leave mother..."

Gu Huai gritted his teeth tightly and quickened his pace. He kept reminding himself in his heart that this was the retribution that family deserved, so don't pity them.

***

After they left the black shop, they walked non-stop for several hours, and then arrived at Suzhou City.This Suzhou city is not only beautiful and picturesque, but also a prosperous and lively scene on the streets.

Gu Huai and Fu An rested their stomachs in a noodle shop, fed Er Qing who was in the bag, and went straight to Wang's house.

Gu Huai's mother, Gao Shi, passed away suddenly due to illness when he was five years old. Gu Huai's father, Gu Yuanwai, had a deep love for his late wife, and after Gao Shi passed away, he never reunited.The Gao family had a younger sister named Gao Ying, who married a wealthy businessman named Wang in Suzhou and gave birth to a boy named Wang Qihou.This Wang Qihou was the seriously ill cousin that Gu Huai wanted to visit.

A rich and plump woman sat on an official hat chair and looked at Gu Huai who was standing in front of her with a smile on her face.

The woman's thick black hair was coiled into a single snail bun on the top of her head, and a chiseled flower gold hairpin was inserted obliquely in the bun, and pale pink pendant beads fell from it. Pleated skirt.Peach cheeks and apricot face, with affectionate eyes.The lines at the corners of her eyes showed that she was no longer young, but it added a bit of dignified and elegant style to her.

This person is Gu Huai's aunt Gao Ying.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we saw each other, Huai'er is really becoming more and more talented. Come and sit here."

Gu Huai smiled and sat beside his aunt, nodded and asked, "Is uncle and aunt still in good health?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that your uncle's migraine still happens occasionally."

"Oh? Have you ever visited the doctor?"

"I've been taking the medicine. I've been sick for more than ten years. It's fatal, but it won't be cured for a while." The aunt's smile gradually dimmed, and she sighed, and said, "It's your cousin's illness... …well……"

Gu Huai lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes cast a shadow on the lower eyelid, then turned to look at his aunt, and asked, "What disease does my cousin have?"

"Insanity."

Gu Huai was shocked and said, "How did you get such a disease?"

"A few days ago, he went to Beijing to take part in the examination, but he was named Luosunshan again. After he came back, he became what he is now," said the aunt, with the circles of his eyes starting to turn red. "Your uncle and I wondered, could this child be I went crazy because I was stimulated by failing the exam."

"Where is cousin now?" Gu Huai asked.

"In the wing room in the backyard, you come with me."

After all, my aunt stood up leisurely, bringing a burst of fragrant wind.

Gu Huai followed her, followed her through the backyard, and stopped in front of a slightly gloomy wing room.

There is a greenish brass lock on the door.The servant next to him took out the key and opened the lock with a "click", and gently pushed the door open.

As soon as the door was opened, a damp and rotten smell hit the face.The room was dimly lit and silent, and it didn't look like anyone was staying in it at all.

As soon as Gu Huai stepped into one foot, he saw something flying towards his forehead.He quickly dodged to the side, the thing hit the door frame, was bounced to the ground, made a crisp sound, and the whole thing shattered.

Gu Huai took a closer look and found that it was a Jun porcelain teapot.

The aunt was obviously frightened, she clutched her chest and yelled "Ouch, Ouch".

"Bitch, why are you still alive?!" A hoarse roar came from inside the room.

"My step-son, I'm a mother, what the hell is going on with you, my step-son!" My aunt covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and sobbed.

Gu Huai was suspicious in his heart, and slowly stepped into the house.With the faint light, he saw a thin man sitting by the bed.Her long hair was untied and hung on her shoulders in a messy way.The white robe was loosely open, exposing the clearly visible ribs on the waist.

However, around his pale and emaciated body, there was a thick black mist.Gu Huai was shocked, it was the ghost's resentment.The color of resentment is extremely deep, so eerie and mysterious that it seems to suck people in.

He silently clenched his fist hidden under his sleeve, thinking that this cousin might be possessed by a ghost.The aunt outside the door was crying so much that she couldn't stand upright, Gu Huai ordered his servants to help the aunt go back to rest, so as not to disturb her again.

Gu Huai walked gently to Wang Qihou's side, and called out with some hesitation: "Cousin..."

Wang Qihou raised his head slowly, looked at him dully, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Gu Huai, Gu Zihong." Gu Huai suppressed the fear of ghosts in his heart, and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "Your cousin."

"Oh, I don't know you." Wang Qihou lowered his head again, playing with a lock of hair with two fingers.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be hostile towards him, Gu Huai tentatively sat beside him.Wang Qihou didn't even look at him, focusing on playing with his hair and skirt.

"Cousin, do you still remember that when we were young, we cut the old man's beard together!" Gu Huai naturally didn't have this memory, but in order to get close to the ghost in front of him, he could only blush without heartbeat lied.

Without saying a word, Wang Qihou glanced back at him, showing no sign of impatience.

Gu Huai smiled "puchi", as if he really thought of something extremely funny, he leaned close to Wang Qihou's ear, and said mysteriously: "The old man was about to be blown out of anger. Throw them in front of your parents."

"At that time your father was furious and wanted to beat you up, so you ran around a big poplar tree in the backyard, and your father chased after you, hahahaha..."

There was a gleam of light in Wang Qihou's empty eyes, and there seemed to be a tinge of blood on his pale face.

Gu Huai slowly stopped laughing. Seeing that the ghost seemed to be interested in his words, he continued to make up tentatively: "In the end, your mother stopped your father and let him calm down. Uncle and aunt are really loving... ..."

The blood that had just appeared on Wang Qihou's face disappeared instantly, and the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.Gu Huai noticed his expression, and choked back all the words that came to his mouth, fingers nervously digging at the bed sheet under him.

Wang Qihou turned his head slowly, his hair messily covered half of his face, revealing a pale and thin chin.

"Watch... cousin..."

"You're with her."

"Varied……"

Wang Qihou raised his head abruptly, looked at Gu Huai with red eyes, and the black resentment around him swirled like a whirlpool: "You are with that bitch!"

"Calm down!" Gu Huai quickly jumped up to keep a distance from Wang Qihou, and reached into his sleeve with one hand, holding the dagger hidden in the sleeve.

"Bitch, bastard, you all have to die..." Wang Qihou's pale lips moved, cursing nervously.Suddenly, his scolding stopped abruptly, and he smiled strangely at Gu Huai, revealing his crooked teeth.

Gu Huai trembled all over, goosebumps oozing from that smile.

I saw that Wang Qihou's broken teeth gradually protruded and stretched out, and a three-inch long fang formed on the left and right sides.His facial muscles twitched and convulsed, and his eyeballs gradually turned scarlet.

Then, he rushed straight and swiftly towards Gu Huai, opened his mouth like a beast, and bit Gu Huai's neck fiercely.
