Renew

Outside the house, the figures of the two maidservants swayed, as if they were watching the movement in the house.

Rong Li bowed his body so that his figure would not be reflected by the candlelight.She stood on the ground with bare feet, her white toes slightly curled up, her hair hanging like smoke on the side of her face and in front of her body.

Xiaofu took the gold hairpin, and said in a daze, "Miss, but, but this gold hairpin is left by the madam, so it's just like this? When I persuaded the girl earlier, the girl obviously refused."

"Now that I can live as long as I can, I can't bring this gold hairpin to the Lord of Hell, what can I keep it for?" Rong Li spoke slowly, and the fluttering sounds of the words rushed into Xiao Fu's ears one by one. profile.

Xiao Fu's eyes turned red again, she wrapped the nobile hairpin in a silk handkerchief, and stuffed it into her skirt, "I'll go out as soon as the sun shines tomorrow."

"Don't forget what I told you." Rong Li said in a low voice.

"Miss, don't worry." Xiao Fu nodded in agreement, bowed to help her back to the bed, and said: "But why do you want your servant to spread such news, but you want to guard against someone."

"The people Sanniang sent are not easy-going people. Now they are clinging to me tightly. I have no other choice. Besides, I always like to be quiet. When there are more people around me, my brain will hurt." Rong Li lay back on the bed, pulled the brocade quilt, and breathed a long sigh of relief after absorbing the lingering warmth in the quilt.

She has a sick face, but her eyebrows and eyes are thick and beautiful. If her complexion improves, she doesn't know how pleasing it will be.

Xiaofu nodded, frowned and said: "The third lady is really vicious."

"She..." Rong Li closed his eyes, and said slowly: "There are so many cruel people in the world, most of them are poor people."

"Miss, don't be soft-hearted. If we don't... find a way to tell the master that if the master goes out to escort, then ask him to bring the girl with him. It's better to go out than to stay at the house." Xiao Fu pouted.

"Do you know how hard it is to run a dart?" Rong Li shook his head, and squinted at Xiao Fu, "It's a small matter to drag the dart master, if I can't keep my eyes open while walking on the road, I'm asking for trouble."

"Bah bah." Xiaofu couldn't help raising her voice, seeing the two figures outside the room moved, she quickly covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Young lady won't, won't walk and walk... ..."

Rong Li lay down weakly, and gave a soft snort helplessly, his eyes had a cunning and agility that was incompatible with this sick and weak body, as if she should be like this, and should not be trapped in this high wall.

"Otherwise, let's ask the master to give me some silver taels, and tell the story of the third lady's embezzlement of the monthly payment. Let's pack up our bags and live outside, so that the third lady can't find it anymore." Xiaofu nodded.

"Do you have evidence that Sanniang did evil, and is there a way to convince others?" Rong Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked over with great interest.

"No." Little Fu said slowly.

"Father won't believe it, besides, he didn't treat me like..." Rong Li shook his head, "He won't let me leave the house easily."

Xiao Fu clenched her fists in astonishment, "Girl, what do you say?"

Rong Li didn't answer, it's not a decent thing to say this.

Seeing that her daughter didn't answer, Xiaofu didn't dare to have the courage to ask, she just said quietly: "Miss, please rest for a while, tomorrow I will quietly bring some food in, and I will definitely not let Bai Liu and Kong Qing know."

Rongli nodded, "Remember, be careful."

"Then shall I turn off the candle lamp?" Xiaofu asked in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Li's pitch-black pupils shrank slightly, and his throat tightened suddenly, "There's no need to turn off the lights."

Xiaofu said "oh", sat on the edge of the bed for no reason, and saw the panic that flashed in Rongli's eyes just now.

How could this candle be extinguished? If a few ghosts flooded in at night, would it be okay?

Rong Li lay still, always felt that there was some rustling sound under the bed, but Xiao Fu didn't seem to hear it.

The cold wind knocked on the window edge, and there were bursts of whimpering from outside the house. In the howling of the wind, it seemed that a woman was crying bitterly, whimpering, more mournful than a pipa.

It's been so long since July and a half, how come there seem to be so many ghosts in Rongfu for no reason?

This night, Rong Li couldn't even sleep well, and when the morning light came in from outside, she closed her eyes in peace.

In the twilight of morning, the rustling sound under the bed disappeared, perhaps the ghost under the bed became more peaceful in the daytime.

Xiaofu went out, went to the kitchen and secretly boiled some medicine, when she brought the bowl of medicine, she hid two pancakes in her sleeves, and carefully brushed past the two maids outside the room.

Fortunately, Bai Liu and Kong Qing are both quiet, unlike the previous Yu Zhuo, who was arrogant and noisy.

Just as Xiao Fu was about to push the door, Bai Liu asked, "Miss is still awake?"

"Still asleep." Xiao Fu turned her head and said frightenedly.

"It's still burning, shall I call the government doctor?" Bai Liu said again.

"The doctor prescribed the medicine, Miss Dao is weak, maybe it will take a day or two to wake up." Xiaofu said hastily.

Bai Liu nodded and said no more.

After pushing the door open and entering the room, Xiaofu quickly took out the biscuits, lowered her voice and said, "Young lady, eat this first, it's not easy to bring in other things."

Rong Li opened his eyes, raised his chin slightly, stretched out his plain hand from the brocade quilt, and hooked Xiao Fu.

Xiao Fu hastily bent down and leaned her ear over.

"Put it in the small carved cabinet next to the bed. I'll eat it when I'm hungry. It's already dawn. You leave the mansion through the west gate, don't go through the main entrance." Rong Li whispered.

Xiaofu responded, and after putting away the biscuits, she hurried out of the mansion through the west gate.

Half an hour later, Rong Changting came again, but he only stood outside the door and asked a few questions, but never entered.

Bai Liu and Kong Qing opened the door and came in, checked Rongli's forehead temperature, looked at her complexion for a while, and then went out of the room to answer.

Rong Changting sighed and left, he was clearly thinking about it, but he seemed to avoid it like a snake and scorpion, he didn't even dare to step over the threshold.

Bai Liu and Kong Qing looked at each other without saying a word.

At noon, Xiaofu came back from the outside, after all she was clever, not only pawned the golden hairpin, but also spread the news, it was only one morning, and the city was already buzzing.

Especially the old women sitting on the street with nothing to do, all talking enthusiastically, they are all saying that the eldest girl of the Rong Mansion fell into the lake and is now so sick that she can't even open her eyes. , hit a ghost.

If you run into a ghost, you will naturally have to find a ghost catcher.

The people in Rong's mansion didn't know about this, but the door of the mansion was knocked repeatedly, and it happened to be monks and Taoist priests who knocked on the door, and some of them looked like they were here to deceive.

If only one or two came, it would be easy to drive away, but it would be strange to see groups of three or four in one day.

Rong Li was lying in the room, seeing Xiao Fu closed the door, he lowered his voice and asked, "How?"

Xiaofu walked over, but she didn't know if her daughter was really sick and couldn't move, or if she was just pretending.Her girl's body is made of jade, so she needs to be pampered, why should she suffer so much?

"It's spread in the city. Today, several monks and priests came, saying that it can break evil spirits."

"Did dad invite those monks and priests into the mansion?" Rong Li asked softly.

"Please come in a few, but most of them are kicked out after chatting for a few words." Xiao Fu stood up cautiously, and poured a glass of water to Rong Li's lips.

Rong Li took a sip, raised a finger to push the rim of the cup away, "Isn't there anyone who can win Dad's favor?"

"It seems that there is one, and it is still in the master's study, it is a monk." Xiaofu brought the cup, and carefully wiped the water from Rongli's mouth with a handkerchief.

Rong Li lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, "Go and see that monk for me, and listen to what he said, what I told you last night, do you still remember?"

"Remember." Xiaofu blinked quickly, turned around and picked up the medicine bowl, there was still more than half of the medicine in the bowl.

Rong Li beckoned, and waited for Xiao Fu to put her ear close, before saying slowly: "Pour some water into the medicine bowl, don't let them see that I have taken the medicine, if they ask, they will say that I am still in a coma, Can't feed."

Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, she never thought that her daughter would have such delicate thoughts, she let out an "oh", and hurriedly poured water into it.

The two maids outside the house saw her carrying the bowl out, and as expected, they glanced into the bowl.

Seeing that the decoction was still full, Bai Liu asked, "Miss still awake?"

"I haven't woken up, so I can't feed." Xiao Fu sighed.

Bai Liu frowned, and glanced at Kong Qing who was standing calmly by the side, "Let's invite the doctor over here."

Xiaofu hesitated for a moment, then nodded worriedly, "It's not a solution for the girl to stay awake."

Only then did Kong Qing speak, "I'm going to ask the doctor."

Xiaofu was afraid that her daughter would not know that the doctor was coming, so she raised her voice slightly, deliberately letting the eldest girl in the room hear, "Let the doctor see if there is any other way to wake the girl up." After speaking, her heart beat Walked away like thunder.

In the room, there was another movement under the bed board Rong Li was lying on, and there was a rustling sound, as if something was about to crawl out.

Rong Li's breathing was sudden, so she heard voices outside the house, she knew that the government doctor would be called over soon, but she didn't dare to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep, instead of closing her eyes and letting the ghost crawl out, she might as well poke her head around and see what happened .

So she turned her head slightly, stood up with difficulty, and saw a pale arm stretched out from under the bed.

The hand was covered with corpse spots, and the five fingers had festered to the point of exposing the bones, and they were grasping the ground inch by inch.

It really is a ghost.

Rongli held his breath, his lungs seemed to be on fire again, he had to open his mouth to catch his breath.

After the ghost poked out one hand, the other hand slowly stretched out. The two arms were thin and pale, with ten fingers digging at the ground, and the veins on the back of the hand were bulging.

Then a head emerged from under the bed, the sparse hair was scattered on the back, most of the scalp was not covered, it was clearly the water ghost that was in the lake...

When Xiaofu was around, the ghost obviously didn't dare to show up, but now that she was the only one in the room, it dared to crawl out from under the bed.

Could it be... is she running out of yang energy?

Rongli's pupils shrank suddenly, and his back felt cold.

The ghost sat up, just looking at her, his face was unrecognizable, with mottled flesh and bones.

It's broad daylight, it really hit a ghost.

This matter is strange, if there are so many monks and priests in this city in normal times, and now Rong Mansion is haunted by ghosts, all of them are here, could it be that some powerful ghost really came to Qi An?
