Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

"Yes, yes, I said that this chicken is going to be stewed, but my chicken soup is going to be stewed for Su Tong. I can't see Su Tong and others. If this chicken is caught by you, I don't know where the chicken soup will go." Which of you little princes went into the stomach?... I am his aunt, this is his uncle, we meet our nephew, who is hindering you?"

The Siming Xiaoxian and Xiuzhu scholar outside said a word, and the woman who called herself Aunt Su Tong could answer three or four sentences.It doesn't matter if she yells, the main reason is that she continues to misunderstand the meaning of others; people kindly help her catch the hen running around, but she feels that everyone else has ulterior motives, and she insists on a few words to enjoy it, and it is also easy. It can show that the chicken is sacrosanct.

When the woman's mouth was silent for a while, a male voice said: "It's okay, it's okay."

The woman said: "What can I do? Didn't you see that if this chicken doesn't come in, people will stop us all the time? Oh, do you think I am? I am embarrassing you? You are so annoying to me! "

Whether it is from the perspective of timbre, pitch, intensity or sound quality, it is impossible to forget Meizi's voice after hearing it once.Yunyao asked Yunli if he could tell who those two were. Yunli said that they were the neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Cheng, but Su Tong could barely call them uncle and aunt.

Xu Zhen led Yunli and Yunyao out first, at that time the hen happened to perform a trick of spreading its wings, and drew a beautiful arc with scattered fluff in front of the three of them.Yunyao pulled out a ray of immortal power, tied the legs of the hen that was still in mid-air for the curtain call, and held it in her hand like a mallet.The hen was sluggish, drooping her head in a daze, her heroic appearance suddenly disappearing.

Yunyao waved her hand, causing the surrounding scholars and Xiaoxian to disperse.Seeing that the woman who came out of the room was not like an ordinary person, and had the ability to scatter the crowd with one hand, Meizi choked up a bit, and replaced the curse words that were about to burst out with a softer grunt.She searched secretly, found the most polite address she could think of for a woman, and said "girl" to Yunyao.

Yanshan was not the only one who was with Meizi, the husband and wife's two youngest daughters, Mumu, also came.The little girl shrank behind Yanshan, not knowing whether she was frightened by her mother or the hen performing a stunning leap.

After the shock brought by Yunyao subsided, Meizi glanced at Yunli and said excitedly, "Master Yun is here?!" Then she smiled happily, pulled her daughter out of her husband's arms, and pushed her directly towards Yunli, While pushing, he said: "This is Brother Yun, do you remember? Come on, put your mouth on a bit sweeter, and call Brother Yun." Mumu looked up at Yunli, her big beautiful eyes curved into a pure smile; but the girl In the end, he didn't have the nerve to speak, and flashed to the side of Yanshan again.

Meizi said angrily, "Shout. Here, call Brother Yun." When the word "Brother Yun" came out of her mouth, Yun Li couldn't help but his scalp tightened and his skin went numb, so he changed the subject and said, "You three are looking for Su Tong?"

Meizi said: "Yes, yes, look for Su Tong."

Yun Li looked at the study subconsciously, Mei Zi had sharp eyes, and pushed the door open without waiting for anyone's consent, almost bumping into Su Tong who was about to step over the threshold.When she saw someone, Mei Zi didn't even want to search for a few words of greeting. The first thing she thought of was the hen she was thinking of, and she immediately took it from Yunyao's hand, regardless of whether it was suitable or not. Put it on Su Tong's hand.

Before he could react, the hen with a fierce expression had already been transferred from Yun Yao to Su Tong's side by Mei Zi's hand.The frightened hen was no longer in a daze. Everyone saw that it was terrified and its head was shaking like a whirlwind.The crazier the hen is, the more it can bring out Su Tong's composure.Su Tong glanced down at the hen spinning wildly around her feet, and said calmly, "Aunt Meizi, Uncle Yanshan, Mumu."

The hen protested sadly against the world by "clucking" from herself, and Su Tong was as gentle as gentle jade from herself.

Mei Zi said happily: "I see you! Beggar, you are going to Beijing soon. When you become an official, if we want to cook chicken soup for you, we may not have a chance. Your place is so big, the stove Mr. Fang should have it, right? You take me there, and if I say stew, I will stew it!" At first Yunli felt that Meizi's sudden visit was inexplicable, but after hearing what she said, everything was easy to understand.At the time of the plague, Su Tong fell ill, and Meizi kept saying that the Su family was dirty, and advised Cheng and his wife not to care about it; later Su Tong passed out, and people thought he was dead, and the Cheng and his wife nailed up the coffin and wanted to carry him to bury him. , Yanshan wanted to help carry the coffin and Meizi refused to let him.

Now in the eyes of everyone, Su Tong is a person who rides a smooth boat to climb high slopes. Meizi thinks of all the past, regrets her inappropriate words and deeds, and fears that she will be hated if she wins in the future, so she drags her husband and daughter to deliver chicken soup. Anyhow, for peace of mind.Although it is true that Meizi has misunderstood the gentleman's heart, but because it is human nature, even if others see through it, it is difficult to explain it, and they will not be disgusted.

Knowing that this enthusiastic peasant woman would never give up if she failed, she let her find the kitchen.That afternoon, the hen sang the out-of-tune tune under the knife, and turned the sentence "God dies me" into a long, sad tune. Through the hands of Meizi, the rooster was finally turned into a Chinese meal.Meizi carried the porcelain bowl of chicken in her bosom as if she was protecting her treasure, and brought it to Su Tong thinking that she would avoid people's eyes and ears, which made Yanshan extremely embarrassed.

Mo Qing and Yuchi Lingben sat in the study, but they could only hear Meizi gossip while scooping up soup for Su Tong, and the smell of chicken wafted through her nose.

Yunli was the only person Meizi invited besides Su Tong.After he finished several bowls of soup, he always felt that the soup was not for nothing.Sure enough, his worry was not unreasonable; when he lay down on the bed at night, thinking that he could finally sleep for the first time in a few days, Meizi's voice exploded at the gate of Yunjue Academy again.

The noise was greatly weakened by the distance and the walls, and when it reached Yunli's ears, only a chaotic hum remained.Meizi went back with Yanshan and Mumu in the afternoon, and turned back to Yunjue at night, presumably it was not because of such a trivial matter as leaving something behind.While half asleep and half awake, Yunli heard the indistinct voice covered with tears, secretly startled, wondering whether Meizi's obvious sadness was related to Su Tong, sat up immediately, and suddenly woke up.

Yunli got off the bed and put on his shoes, Xu Zhen's tentative voice matched the knock on the door: "Mr. Yunli? Mr. Yunli, she said she came to find you."

"Find me?"

Hearing that Yunli was awake, Xu Zhen opened the door and said, "Uh... yes. She wants to ask Mr. Yunli to help exorcise the ghost."

Although the dream was gone, knowing that Meizi did not bring any bad news related to Su Tong, Yun Li calmed down, straightened his clothes and went down to the entrance of the academy.Yunyao heard the sound one step ahead of him and rushed over to ask about Meizi's situation. Meizi wiped her tears and said that the "ghost man" had come to her house.Looking around, seeing that there were no voices from Yanshan and Mumu, Yunyao asked a little nervously, "Is someone injured at home?" In recent years, in all cases involving so-called ghosts, someone must die tragically.Now Yunyao didn't see Meizi's husband and daughter, but only asked if anyone in her family was injured, so she said auspicious words.

Meizi said, "Yes."

Yun Yao: "Who was hurt? Is it serious?"

Meizi: "It's my mother-in-law. It doesn't matter if you are young, but she is getting old, and she will be seriously injured if she falls off the bed. Yanshan asked someone to come and see. Oh, she is an old man, so she won't even think about standing up again."

Yunli and Yunyao looked at each other, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with Nie Qiu.At this time, Meizi grabbed Yunli's sleeve and said, "Mr. Yunli, you have great powers, and I can rely on you!" She only said that there was a "ghost" visiting at home and that her mother-in-law fell off the bed, but she didn't say what happened just now. Why cry so earth-shattering.Yun Li let him hold him, and was speechless for a while; while thinking wildly, he thought that if any house was really visited by a broken wizard, he, a "supernatural" fairy, probably had nothing to do, so he had to humbly shirk it.

Xu Zhen said bluntly: "The 'ghost man' avenges murder and pays for his life. How can your mother-in-law, an old man, provoke someone who wants to invite the 'ghost man' to take revenge?"

Yun Yao said: "I'll find a disciple of Yunjue's Immortal Sect to visit your house, so there's no need for Mr. Yunli to go there."

Meizi's face turned ugly, and she grabbed Yunli and said, "How can this be done? Miss, rumors about the 'ghost man' are spread everywhere. After so many years of trouble, do you dare to say that there is any young master in Yunjue who can catch him?" Is it the ability of a 'ghost man'? Mr. Yun is powerful, we bamboo repairers have all seen it, Mr. Yun was not in the academy a few days ago, and now he is back, my family has suffered a disaster, can we not invite him!" Listen to her talk He praised himself so highly, Yun Li really didn't dare to accept it, and was looking for something to evade, but Meizi brushed off her sleeves and splashed tears on his face: "Mr. Yun, you are our great benefactor of Xiuzhu. , I trust you wow!"

Yun Li was thinking, no matter what, he had to ask the "ghost man" about his "patronage" first, but Mei Zi just kept crying, her voice almost waking up the sleeping people in the academy, and she didn't give others a chance to speak.Unable to refuse, Yunli was "invited" by Meizi to go on the road that night, and Yunyao and Xu Zhen could only look sympathetically.

At Haishi, Yunli pushed Meizi into the house; Yanshan and Mumu guarded the old lady lying on the bed moaning, both father and daughter didn't close their eyes.Mu Muyang smiled and called "Brother Yun", Yun Li smiled at her, and went to the bedside to check on the old lady's situation; but he didn't see anything unusual except for a leg tied with a board.Meizi walked to the bed and said, "Young Master Yun, my mother-in-law said that someone entered our house, took... took things and left."

Yunli: "When did it happen?"

Mei Zi said: "Before Mumu and her father and I come back... oh, I thought we wouldn't be gone for too long, so I don't worry about leaving the old man alone. Oh, how do you know!" Yun Li felt her gaze wandering , although there was concern for her mother-in-law in her tone, her real thoughts were not on the old lady's broken leg.

Yan Shan, who was sitting by the bed, opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, Mei Zi said first: "Young Master Yun, my mother-in-law felt that someone had entered the house, but she didn't see the real person. It is said that ghosts come and go without a trace, what you said here Aren’t ghosts what are they!” Her words are far-fetched, according to this statement, all experienced and nameless thieves who “come and go freely” can be blamed on Nie Qiu after they slip away.But this also shows that Nie Qiu is "not bad" in the arena, no matter whether it is black or white, at least he has a good reputation.

Yunli: "What did that person take?"

Yanshan: "Bowl."

His understatement immediately hit Meizi's tears hard.Meizi burst into tears, intermittently explaining that the stolen silver bowl was a dowry passed down from generation to generation in her family, and that things would have to be passed down when Mumu got married.Apart from its meaning, that bowl is still the most valuable possession of this small family.

Meizi continued to cry, and Yun Li suddenly noticed that the old lady on the bed was not looking right, so she temporarily blocked Meizi's voice, and waved her hand in front of the old lady's eyes.The old man's eyes were cloudy and his expression was blank. Yun Li called her a few times, but she only trembled her lower lip dumbly.Yunli: "You really didn't see the human figure clearly?" The old man didn't answer. To be precise, her consciousness was chaotic and she probably couldn't make out a complete sentence.The old man is too old and his mind is not clear, even if the person who broke into the house was a living person, she would probably call him a ghost.

Yun Li asked: "How long has your mother-in-law been like this?" At the end, he added: "It can't be about today, right?"

Meizi also heard what he meant, and said a little embarrassedly: "Last year she was not well." Mumu said sadly: "Brother Yun, grandma doesn't even recognize me!" Yunli lost her beauty tonight At this time, he felt that he had been deceived to some extent, so he couldn't help but lower his voice, and said to Meizi and Yanshan angrily: "The two of you have lost your family wealth, so you should report it to the government. Why did you lie and report it to Yunjue?" Driven by the desire to leave, Meizi took a step after her, and Yanshan, who was originally sitting by the bed, stood up immediately.

Meizi knew that there was a big flaw in her words, but she still insisted on the face that it was a "ghost" who stole the bowl, and said anxiously: "Mr. Yun, it is said that ghosts are fierce and unpredictable. Who will protect our family when you leave?"

Yun Li frowned and said, "Ghosts take people's money to avenge people's blood. It is said that breaking people's necks is easy, and skinning and shredding flesh is not his most vicious method. Think about it carefully, have you really offended your family?" If there is someone you can't offend, would that person hate you to the point of destroying your family? If not, wouldn't you be cursing yourself by insisting that that thing came?"

Meizi swallowed, and then slowed down each word: "Young Master Yun, even you look down on a bowl in my house, can the officials and adults in the house pay attention to the things we throw away?" Yun Li was suddenly changed by her. He was stunned by his speaking style, and then he heard Meizi continue: "Young master Yun, let me go to the surveillance station to report the case, okay, I will go. But what if the people in the mansion kick me out, Mr. Yun will not care about it at that time ?”

Yun Li didn't follow her train of thought: "Kick it out?"

Mei Zi said: "I thought Mr. Yun was reliable, that's why I invited Mr. Yun... Hey, that's right, Mr. Yun prayed for rain four years ago, and he helped tens of thousands of people in Shuzhou. Now a How can you pay attention to the little family's trivial matters?" It wasn't because of her crude provocative methods, Yun Li agreed: "If the monitoring station really ignores this matter, Yunjue Academy will help catch the thief." He just saw it with his own eyes. Mu Mu looked at her innocently, and thought of the clear and sweet voice when the little girl called him, felt pity in her heart, and felt that she should not have even a small decent dowry in the future.What's more, Su Tong's wish is deep and hard to change, so he has to wait for Su Tong to go to Beijing for reference before making plans, and now he is alone.

It was Ye Yunli who stayed at Yanshan's house, and reported to the surveillance station with Meizi the next day.As Meizi expected, the little official in front of the monitoring platform came into the mansion slowly, saying that he was telling the truth to the chief and deputy ministers.There was no news for half an hour, Meizi asked another official guarding the gate, but the official turned around and closed the gate without saying a word.

As soon as he said that, Yunli temporarily stayed at Yanshan's family to find out the whereabouts of the silver bowl for them.Helplessly, there were no clues in the house, and the neighbors did not lose a stitch, and the physical witnesses were all blank.After spending more than ten days, Yun Li had no clue, and turned into a person who seemed to be eating and drinking.Fortunately, a few days later, Yunjue Academy came to Yunjue Academy, and when it was time for Su Tong and the others to enter the capital, Yunli finally found an excuse to go back to see him off, at least he was able to catch his breath after holding back for so long.

Yanshan and Meizi couldn't find anything, so they had to pick up some bacon and asked Yunli and Si Ming Xiaoxian to take it back as a farewell gift.

When Yunli returned to the academy, a carriage was ready.The scholars at the gate of the academy and Xiaoxian Siming talked a lot, Yunli heard from them that Yunyao had specially calculated the time, but the auspicious time has passed, and the carriage has not yet set off.

Yun Li asked Yi Si Ming Xiaoxian, "What's wrong?"

The Siming Xiaoxian was a little surprised at first, probably because he didn't expect Yunli Jun, who had evaporated for a long time, to suddenly appear next to him.Taking a breath, Si Ming Xiaoxian said: "It is said that Mo Qing has a stomachache."

"stomachache?"

"Uh, yes."

While the two were talking, Mo Qing was carried out by two scholars, one on the left and one on the right, and Su Tong and Yu Chiling followed behind them.Mo Qing's face was sallow, very ugly, and the eye sockets soaked in black smoke were a little sunken.Yun Li saw at a glance that this was a sign that he was exhausted and dehydrated, and he was probably exhausted from running to the latrine.

That Siming Xiaoxian couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Mr. Yunli, I really haven't seen anyone so nervous."

Yunli: "Nervous?"

Si Ming Xiaoxian said: "Isn't it? Yesterday Mo Qing said that he was afraid and didn't want to go to the capital; Jun Yaojun persuaded him a lot, and finally calmed him down, but today he was so nervous that he had a stomachache."

Over there, Mo Qing swayed, but was steadied by two scholars beside him.He turned his head to look at Yuchiling and then at Su Tong, he was about to cry but said: "Brother Juegui, Brother Xingyin, I really won't go... Forget it, forget it, I really won't go." Ruo Bingshuang, Mo Qing became even more nervous, bent over to cover his belly, and was about to rush to the latrine again.Su Tong patted him on the shoulder, stepped sideways out of the way, and cast a look of "we'll wait for you".

Mo Qing bumped into Yun Yao who was walking towards the door. Yun Yao patted him lightly on the head, then stepped out of the threshold, and said solemnly to the carefully watching Xiuzhu scholar and Si Ming Xiaoxian: "Stop gossiping, let's all do our own things! What if the auspicious time is delayed? Will you die?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, those who commented on Mo Qing the loudest all hurried away.

Yun Li said, um, auspicious time...
