Between life and death [unlimited]
Chapter 24
The paleness reveals the strange ashen cheeks, completely filled with white pupils, the female ghost in the blood-red wedding dress opened her bloody mouth, and pointed her fingers straight up.
"……Ah ah ah ah ah……"
It was the female ghost hiding under the table who made the sound like a child just now!
The unlucky uncle broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and shouted belatedly.
"Help... help!!"
Fortunately, Jiang Lai didn't go too far, and he rushed back to the room immediately after hearing the uncle's cry for help.
"What happened?"
The unlucky uncle was still immersed in the great fear just now, he pointed at his feet and replied tremblingly: "There are... there are ghosts..."
Jiang Lai flipped the table over!
But there is nothing below.Jiang Lai couldn't help but cast a cold glance at the unlucky uncle.
Unlucky Uncle was taken aback by him again, and defended in a low voice: "...There really was a female ghost just now, and it was right beside my feet..."
After careful inspection but still not finding anything, Jiang Lai warned the unlucky uncle: "Wake up, don't sleep again."
Of course the unlucky uncle didn't dare to go back to sleep, he smiled apologetically at the gloomy Jiang Lai.
……
Qian Yuanwai was afraid of disturbing the rest of the masters who came from a long distance for the affairs of his mansion, so he didn't call them during lunch, but asked a few maids to bring nourishing sweet soup.
Seeing that the time was approaching evening, Yuan Wai sent a few normal servants to invite everyone to have dinner.
At the dining table, it was obvious that all the players were full of energy after a day's rest, and their eyes were not full of panic when they first came to this world.
Jiang Lai still habitually chose a seat next to Si Yufeng to sit down.
When Si Yufeng saw his teammates, his signature warm smile appeared on his face again, and his voice was as warm as the spring breeze in April. He greeted Jiang Li, "Jiang Fei, how are you resting?"
Jiang Lai recalled the thunderous snoring of the unlucky uncle and the "wolf is coming" experience just now, his face darkened suddenly, and his expression was very unhappy.
"not good."
Si Yufeng froze for a moment.For this kind of polite and polite question, why shouldn't normal people answer that it's okay? Why is it that Jiang Shui doesn't follow the routine...
Fortunately, he was also used to Jiang Lai's straight-forward approach, so Si Yufeng still answered politely: "After dinner later, you should take a good rest."
At this time, Jiang Lai's attention was all focused on the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, but he just replied casually in a somewhat perfunctory manner.
"No need."
Then he looked at the dessert carved in the shape of a bunny on his plate, and curiously poked it lightly with a spoon while no one was paying attention.
It really feels good, soft.
He lightly gouged out the back tail of the little white rabbit with a spoon, put it into his mouth and tasted it.
Hmm...sweet, and the smell is very fragrant, like his favorite coconut aroma.
Coconut milk cake made in the shape of a little white rabbit is a common specialty dessert in the south, but in the 26 years of his life before Jiang Li, he has never seen such a delicious dessert made with so much thought and lifelike.
For the first time in his life, Jiang Lai questioned his previous way of life after breaking away from his previous life of rules and regulations.His previous food was nutritious and simple ingredients that could ensure him to eat enough protein and vitamins every day, but like the dessert he tasted for the first time today, it actually tasted very good.
When everyone was eating, there was no conversation at the table, but Shen Yingying suddenly remembered a question she had earlier.
She asked in a low voice: "Uncle Qian...Oh, no, Master Qian...how do you guys know what kind of man Qian Yanruo likes..."
When other players heard this question, they stopped their chopsticks one after another. Those with good memories suddenly remembered what Qian Yuanwai said before. In fact, they also had this question in their hearts.
When Yuanwai Qian talked about the previous incident, he and Mrs. Qian didn't seem to know Qian Yanruo's preferences very well, so how did they know their eldest daughter's preference for men?
This question really hits the point.Seeing Qian Yuanwai raised his forehead again, he sighed apologetically: "Oh, I'm ashamed to say this reason... Yan Ruo had a man he liked before she was alive, so we asked your master to find a similar man according to the man's personality. people."
It turned out that Qian Yanruo had someone he liked before she was alive, and the players nodded in understanding.
"Where is that man now?" Like other adolescent girls, Shen Yingying is also a little girl who has fantasies about love.
Qian Yuanwai didn't seem to want to answer this question very much, he just avoided the important point and said lightly: "...that man's family background really doesn't match mine, so..."
He didn't say what he said, but everyone understood the meaning behind Qian Yuanwai's voice.
It should be a common plot in ancient romance novels. The Qian family must have been preventing Qian Yanruo from getting in touch with that poor man.
"Then Miss Qian suddenly behaved abnormally because she couldn't think about it..." Shen Yingying guessed in a low voice.
Qian Yuanwai was taken aback by the question, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Just after hearing Qian Yuanwai's answer, Jiang Lai actually felt the same way as Shen Yingying.But after careful consideration, he felt that this conjecture could not be established. There was always something strange about it, and it might not match Qian Yuanwai's previous description of his daughter.
If it is true what Qian Yuanwai said before, if Qian Yan is a woman with thunderous wrists, would such a decisive woman really commit suicide because her family prevented her from meeting her lover?
The obvious answer is definitely not.And according to her character of being quite capable in business, if Qian Yan didn't hide it from her family, it would be a good idea to meet her lover secretly.
Jiang Lai felt that Qian Yanruo's death would not be that simple, but where is the abnormality?
Thinking of a dead end, Jiang Lai bit his spoon and looked at Si Yufeng subconsciously. It happened that Si Yufeng was also looking at him for some reason, and their eyes met briefly in the air.
Jiang Xun was startled, and immediately came back to his senses: When did I develop the habit of asking Si Yufeng for advice on everything? !
When Si Yufeng saw Jiang Xun, he realized that he had been looking at him, and was about to lower his head in embarrassment, but found that Jiang Xun had already turned his head quickly, and the aura around him seemed to have become much colder in a moment. .
He couldn't help wondering in his heart: Could it be that he scared Jiang Xun...?
Si Yufeng was at war with heaven and man in his heart, Yuan Qian paused for a while, and then suddenly said: "Yanruo has been very assertive since she was a child, and after we revealed a little bit to her, she automatically cut off contact with that man... ...And as far as I know, they should have broken off their contacts in private afterwards, so I don't think this is the reason..."
The players did not expect that Miss Qian's family was such a courageous woman.
Qian Yuanwai was no longer in the mood to eat. After talking for a long time, he now asked the players with some pleading: "Masters... can you help me eliminate the hidden dangers in my mansion?"
Everyone who asked this question didn't know how to answer.
In fact, they came here to complete the task according to the system requirements. Who knows whether the Qian Mansion will return to peace after the task is completed?After all, Qian Yuanwai, who looks the same as them in appearance, is just one of the many NPCs in the game to them.
"Cough," Si Yufeng planned to save this embarrassing situation, "Master Qian, we must do our best." The voice changed, and he asked again: "I don't know where the corpse we brought over now is placed. ?”
Si Yufeng always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if something was not done well, and some details were overlooked.
After cleaning his hands and rinsing his mouth, Qian Yuanwai replied, "It should have been placed in the coffin shed when it was delivered. If all masters finish their meal, why don't we go and have a look together now?"
Hearing this, the players also stopped their actions, and then led the way by Qian Yuanwai, and together with the players came to a coffin shed that had been set up in the backyard.
This shrine occupies a large area. There are many white mandalas hanging inside the shed, and many fresh flowers and wreaths are placed around it. There are also a few people kneeling in the open space outside, burning papers and weeping. A large group of people outside the team and the players walked over in a mighty manner, and the crying of the group of kneeling people suddenly became louder, and the sharp voices were about to break through the sky.
"Oh... pity my son!"
The players were taken aback by the sudden increase in tone.Si Yufeng had known a little about the customs and habits here before, so he guessed that this group of people was probably invited by Yuan Qian to be professionals in charge of crying in front of Qian Yanruoling.
It seems that what Qian Yuanwai said about giving his daughter a grand funeral is not a lie.
The players followed Qian Yuan into the shed, and saw two coffins placed in the center of the coffin.
In addition to the mahogany coffin brought over by the players, there is also a tall and thick coffin that can be seen to be expensive at first glance - this should be the coffin where the body of Miss Qian's family is placed.
As soon as they entered, everyone received a system prompt.
[Task Name: Ghost Kiss]
[Task requirements: All players are required to stay in the spirit shed all night.To complete the ghost kiss ceremony, the two corpses need to be put together, and the players are asked to put on a red hijab for Qian Yanruo. The players wait until dawn on the second day, and the task is considered completed when they hear the system reminder. 】
After receiving the task, all the players' expressions were not very good.You know, these two corpses are not good stubble who just lie down obediently.
The eldest lady who would cry every dawn, and the unknown male corpse who behaved strangely on the way to transport, God knows what will happen if these two corpses stay together for one night.
"...You all look at what I do..." Brother Dongbei noticed that everyone's eyes were on him at this time, and he suddenly felt flustered.
As the only woman present, Shen Yingying said weakly: "Brother... I dare not do the job of putting the corpse..."
Naturally, it is impossible for a little girl to do such a dangerous task, and it seems that other players have the same thoughts.
Brother Northeast swallowed his saliva. He still remembers the strange smile of the male corpse. This time he was beaten to death, so he didn't dare to carry the corpse anymore.
"Old sister, I'm sorry, it's not that the elder brother doesn't want to do it, it's that the elder brother is also afraid..." the Northeast elder brother explained.
As a native of the Northwest, Qian Yuanwai was a little curious when he heard the authentic Northeast accent: "I didn't expect there to be foreigners among the master's disciples?"
The Northeast brother smiled, and replied with a rather elegant word: "Hey, I came here because of my name... I came here because of my name."
As the pillar of the team and the diplomat, Si Yufeng asked Yuanwai Qian: "Master Qian, my master told us that we need to put two corpses in a coffin. I wonder if your servants can help put them away? "
Qian Yuanwai nodded, and immediately asked the servants beside him to call in two normal servants who were strong and healthy and had not yet shown a smirk on their faces to come over to help.
The players were used to doing it by themselves, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this situation.
Qian Yanruo's coffin was specially selected for two persons, so it was only necessary to put the transported male corpse into it.
After opening Miss Qian's coffin, everyone found that her body was not decomposed, and her appearance was the same as before. She was lying in the coffin as if she was asleep.
Qian Yanruo was really a beautiful woman with an overwhelming beauty, but it's a pity that Xianghun died young.
Si Yufeng sighed with a little regret: "What a pity... such a lively beauty."
"……Ah ah ah ah ah……"
It was the female ghost hiding under the table who made the sound like a child just now!
The unlucky uncle broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and shouted belatedly.
"Help... help!!"
Fortunately, Jiang Lai didn't go too far, and he rushed back to the room immediately after hearing the uncle's cry for help.

The unlucky uncle was still immersed in the great fear just now, he pointed at his feet and replied tremblingly: "There are... there are ghosts..."

Unlucky Uncle was taken aback by him again, and defended in a low voice: "...There really was a female ghost just now, and it was right beside my feet..."
