Huangquan Roadside Inn

The sudden appearance of the grimace made Qiao Shu scream and throw the candlestick towards the grimace. He turned around and wanted to escape but was caught by the stool, fell heavily to the ground, and fainted.

Qiao's mother, who was awakened by Qiao Shu, also woke up from her dream. Looking at the dark room, she called eagerly, "Shu'er, what's wrong with Shu'er? What's wrong?"

Qiao Shu didn't respond for a while, and Mother Qiao got up from the bed in the dark, put on her shoes, and walked towards the place where the candlesticks were placed.

But as soon as she took a step forward, the candle on the candlestick ignited. Mother Qiao caressed her chest. Seeing Qiao Shu fall to the ground, she hurriedly screamed and ran to help Qiao Shu up:

"Shu'er, Shu'er." Qiao's mother called eagerly, and Qiao Shu seemed to have woken up, but when he looked up at his mother, he showed a strange smile. Blood oozes slowly.

Qiao's mother screamed and threw Qiao Shu away, and took a few steps back. Suddenly, she remembered the candle that she lit just now, and her scalp became numb. She didn't care about Qiao Shu on the ground, and hurriedly walked towards the door by the candle. .

Only when she was a foot away from the door, Mother Qiao felt that she couldn't move, and there was a cold hand on her ankle, clasping her ankle tightly.

"What! Let me go!" Mother Qiao exclaimed, but the cold hand touched her calf along her ankle.

Mother Qiao only felt that the cold hands on her legs disappeared as soon as she got hot.

Her legs softened and she fell to the ground. The moment she raised her eyes, she saw a female ghost in a red wedding dress, with bleeding from her orifices, and her hands outstretched towards her.

Mother Qiao recognized the appearance of the female ghost, it was Mei Ruhua!

Because of this, Qiao's mother exclaimed, seeing Mei Ruhua getting closer and closer to her, as if she had forgotten her age, she got up and opened the door and rushed into the yard:

"Come here, come here, there are ghosts! There are ghosts!"

The entire Mei's house was empty and extremely silent, except for Qiao's mother's voice.

Looking back, even the only candle in her own room was extinguished, and the whole Mei fell into a dead silence, extremely dark. Mother Qiao didn't know where she was trapped, but felt her heart beating wildly in her chest.

The cool wind blew past, and it was chilly below the ground, which made Qiao's mother feel numbness in her back, and she didn't dare to move when she stood still.

A red shadow flashed past her, causing her to fall to the ground in fright, and when she turned her head, Mei Ruhua's bleeding face immediately appeared in front of her.

She screamed hoarsely and fainted.

For a long time, Mother Qiao seemed to hear the sound of someone nailing the boards. She seemed to hear the sound of someone nailing the boards. At the moment it seems to be lying in a coffin.

Mother Qiao screamed in panic and stretched out her hand to push the coffin board, but it was still of no avail. The sound of nails being nailed into the coffin became more and more clear, one by one, rang in her ears.

Mother Qiao struggled, holding onto the coffin board with both hands and calling for help, but gradually, she felt that her legs could not move at all, as if being pressed by something, Mother Qiao looked up, but saw Mei Ruhua With a strange smile on his bleeding face, he was climbing up Qiao's mother's legs little by little.

"Give me back my life, give me back my life..." Mei Ruhua's voice was ethereal, and each sound bound Qiao's mother's neck like a talisman.

Mother Qiao couldn't cry out, so she could only watch Mei Ruhua climb up in front of her, with her back against the coffin board, her long hair hanging down on both sides of Mother Qiao's head, face to face with Mother Qiao, her eyes met. .

"You bitch...you bitch! You don't want to die, and you want to scare me!" Mother Qiao yelled at Mei Ruhua pretending to be full of hostility.

But Mei Ruhua still smiled sinisterly: "Those men are tearing my clothes... They don't want to show mercy... You give me back my life... Give me back my life..."

Mei Ruhua's shrill voice mixed with the sound of nails being nailed into the coffin rang in Qiao's mother's ears, making her scalp numb. With one accusation, the past swept across Qiao's mother's mind like a tidal wave.

She sent the first man into Mei Ruhua's room with her own hands, and she sat outside, listening to Mei Ruhua's desperate cries in the room, she was indifferent, only the money in her hand was in her heart.

The hard life is scary, Mother Qiao has never seen that it is so easy to earn a silver coin, so as long as Qiao Shu is not at home, she will go to the house to ask a man to have a good time with Mei Ruhua, and then collect the money...

As for Mei Ruhua, although there is a marriage letter from Qiao Shu, she has never been recognized by her mother-in-law, and she has never paid homage to the church, and there are countless banquets for her neighbors. Belly, for such a dissolute woman, I just rounded up her temperament this time, and I can get money, killing two birds with one stone.

The daughter-in-law of her Qiao family must want Wangfu. A woman like Mei Ruhua, not to mention her body is already dirty, even if she is not dirty, she can make Qiao Shu unable to make money. wrong……

A baby's crying brought Qiao's mother back from her memories. When Qiao's mother heard the baby crying in the coffin, her heart suddenly tightened.

Suddenly, she felt that her fingers were being eaten by something. After she struggled to open the thing that was eating her fingers, she found that only bones remained in her palm, and all flesh and blood disappeared.

The baby's crying sounded again, and Mother Qiao only felt her scalp go numb. No matter how hard she struggled, no one outside could hear the sound in the coffin.

"That's your grandson, look, your grandson." Mei Ruhua held a ball of blood and sent it to Qiao's mother.

Mother Qiao couldn't dodge in time, and she looked at the bloody thing with only black pupils left in those small eyes. He stared directly at Mother Qiao, and made a strange small sound.

"That's my child...it's my child." Mei Ruhua smiled, and put the bloody lump by Qiao's mother's ear.

Mother Qiao hid, but she didn't want the bloody mass to be so cold and bone-chilling. No matter how far Mother Qiao hid, he also stuck to it, tore off Mother Qiao's face, and made Mother Qiao's voice stop in her throat. No chance to shout out...

It was early in the morning when Qiao Shu woke up, and he heard the maid knocking on the door, intending to come in to serve the old lady.

Qiao Shu got up from the ground and saw the candlestick on the ground. He suddenly thought of the face that appeared after lighting the candle last night in his mind. He stopped in fright, and broke out in cold sweat.

The door of the old lady's room was pushed open, and the maids hurriedly saluted Qiao Shu: "The champion must be tired after guarding the old lady here all night, go back and rest."

Qiao Shu nodded, and then went out, but as soon as he left the room, he heard the maid screaming in the room, Qiao Shu hurried back to the room, and before asking about the situation, he saw Qiao's mother's wide-eyed eyes, baring her teeth and claws. Lying on the bed, his whole body was stiff, his face was ashen, and he had already died.

"How... how..." Qiao Shu couldn't believe it, and fell to the ground for a moment, and the image of Mei Ruhua bleeding from the seven orifices repeatedly appeared in his mind, and he passed out in a moment.

In just one night, the Qiao family changed from a happy event to a funeral.

The servants in the mansion were busy replacing the red gauze at the door with white gauze, and hung up white gauze lanterns.

And Baixi and Qingyunyuecheng, who were taken in by Qiao's family for a night, bid farewell to Qiao Shu at this time, but Qiao Shu was in a trance, but still bid farewell to Baixi.

"Let me put it bluntly, Qiao Zhuangyuan should know what a promise of a thousand gold means, and please Qiao Zhuangyuan do it for himself. If you can stop the loss in time, you can save your life. If you are stubborn, even a god can't save it."

Bai Xi looked at Qiao Shu's dazed expression, and said hastily.

Qiao Shu hadn't recovered from the pain of losing his mother and being frightened by Mei Ruhua, but upon hearing Bai Xi's words, he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"Lingtang's death was owed to someone else, and now that person has come back to ask for it." Bai Xi looked at Qiao Shu with a serious face, and then said: "You made an appointment with someone, but you never kept your promise. The people you owe will come to you, and even if you say it all, Qiao Zhuangyuan will cherish it."

Seeing Qiao Shu's appearance, Bai Xi cupped his fists in a salute, and then led Qing Yun and Yue Cheng out of the Mei family mansion.

"My lord, let's leave like this and stop catching that ghost?" Qingyun asked curiously as soon as he left the gate.

"She took revenge, and the evil spirit was reduced a little. We didn't make a move last night, so she knew that we didn't have any malicious intentions. We just need to wait for her outside." Bai Xi said with a smile: "I have already told that Qiao Zhuangyuan I remind you, if he is willing to reconcile with Mei Ruhua, it will probably save his life."

"Then why didn't you save his mother?" Qing Yun asked further.

Bai Xi looked at him sideways, staring at him for a long while before answering: "Too much evil, karma, if we rescued Mrs. Qiao last night, I am afraid that Mei Ruhua's evil spirit will accumulate deeper and deeper, which is not conducive to the future." When she was brought back to the inn, her evil spirit was too heavy, and her resentment was too deep to pass through the gate of the underworld. Our responsibility is to help them let go of their obsessions and resolve their resentment, so naturally we cannot stop them."

"Oh." Qing Yun replied half-understood, and then he and Bai Xi walked towards yesterday's investigation.

Qingyun followed behind him, asking endlessly: "My lord, how did the old lady die? We watched it all night, but we didn't understand."

"Dreams." Bai Xi replied concisely: "The reason why Mei Ruhua is a ghost is because she can create dreams for people. The old lady Qiao was invited into the dream by Mei Ruhua, and then the old lady was trapped alive. Scared to death."

When Qing Yun heard what Bai Xi said, his eyes widened immediately, thinking about the appearance of Mrs. Qiao when he died, his back suddenly went numb.

While Qingyun was still engrossed in the scene of the old lady Qiao's death, Baixi stopped in front of the tea stand, and looked at the person who had been waiting for them in front of the tea stand with awe-inspiring expression.

When Ming Jun saw Bai Xi coming back, he just glanced sideways at him, and then pulled away the stool beside him, motioning for them to go and sit down.
