Hearing this, Wang Xian and the two exchanged glances, and Lan SiZhui was refreshed.
Wei WuXian said, "I would like to hear the details."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Gongzi slowly said: "It's not too detailed, and I don't know much about this person. When I was young, I grew up in my grandmother's house in a mountain village in a remote province. This person was a servant in my grandmother's family. Because my age is close to me, I played with me when I was a child and grew up."
Wei WuXian said, "It's called being small, so why don't you know much about it?"
Young Master Qin: "Because I'm getting older, I've become estranged."
Wei WuXian said, "Just think about it, have you ever offended this servant?"
Qin Gongzi said: "There is one incident, but I don't know how much offended you are."
Lan Wangji said, "Tell me."
Qin Gongzi said: "This servant serves my grandmother all the year round and is by her side. Because of his neat hands and feet, and his age is similar to his grandson, my grandmother likes him very much and often praises him for his cleverness. He also gave birth to a bit of arrogance, always arrogant. Following the children of our clan, I did not understand the difference between master and servant. Later, my grandmother asked him to study with us.
"One day, the master left his homework, and it was very difficult to understand. During the discussion, someone came up with an answer, and the classmates praised it, but the servant suddenly said that it was wrong."
Qin Gongzi said: "At that time, this servant didn't listen to it for a month or two, but the children of our family have already been studying for two or three years. It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, and someone will refute it right now. Very stubborn, he kept saying that the previous man's answer was wrong, and he wanted to show us his solution, and finally the whole classroom was annoyed, so they slammed him out together."
Hearing this, Lan SiZhui couldn't help but say, "Young Master Qin, he is the one who bothers you, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary... Why do you need to drive people away?"
Wei WuXian said, "Young Master Qin, it sounds like your group of clan children have provoked him, do you have a special position in it? Otherwise, he must not only be looking for you, but he should put all the people in the group. Find a round."
Qin Gongzi said: "I was the first to let him out at that time, and I just said that everyone was unhappy with him long ago, and he was out of control. But this man was actually very temperamental, and I followed me after returning. Grandma said she couldn't go, so she didn't go again."
Wei WuXian said, "I'll ask two more questions, Young Master Qin, you must answer me truthfully."
Qin Gongzi said: "Ask."
"The first question." Wei Wuxian said with bright eyes, "You said earlier that 'someone came up with the first answer'. This 'someone' is not you?"
After a pause, Young Master Qin said, "Is this important?"
Wei WuXian said, "Then, the second question—the solution to the homework, who is right and who is wrong?"
Qin Gongzi's face was not good, he lifted his sleeves, and said lightly: "Old things have been a few years ago, so I can't remember them fresh. But in all fairness, who didn't do some inexplicable things when they were young I have been to some inexplicable people, please don't dwell on it. I just want to solve this matter as soon as possible."
Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Okay. I understand, I understand."
Lan Wangji said, "When did this person die?"
Qin Gongzi said, "It's been about two years."
Wei WuXian said, "Two years? It's okay, it's not a dead body, but it's not new. How did you die? Suicide?"
"No. I heard that he was drinking and running around in the middle of the night. He didn't pay attention to his feet and fell to his death."
"It's not suicide, then the situation is a little better. Young Master Qin, is there anything else?"
"Gone."
"Then please go back first, and a talisman will be delivered to your house later. If you think of anything else, please remember to let us know at any time."
After returning to the Xiaozhuxuan, Lan Sizhui closed the door, turned around and exhaled, and said, "This Young Master Qin...really...really..."
Lan WangJi suddenly said, "Two years."
Wei WuXian said, "Yes, two years is a bit strange."
Lan SiZhui said, "Strange?"
Wei WuXian took a blank talisman paper from his sleeve, and said, "If an evil person who hates deeply is going to retaliate, usually he will do it on the first seven nights. If it lasts a long time, it is quite common to do it within a year. It has changed. It has become a murderous corpse, why did it take two years to find him?"
Lan Sizhui guessed, "Could it be that you haven't found Qin Gongzi's address after he moved in two years?"
He imagined the corpse knocking on other people's doors one by one every night to see if it was Mr. Qin inside. There was a slight coolness behind him.
Wei WuXian said, "No. This murderous corpse has an old friend with Young Master Qin, and it is not difficult to find him by following his breath. Moreover, if it's like what you said, it will find some mistakes in the process of finding Young Master Qin. Home, there should be more than one incident of a murderous corpse slamming on the door, Lan Zhan, you have read more files than me, and remember more than me, have you seen similar records in the past two years?"
When he entered the study, Lan Wangji said, "It's not related."
Wei WuXian said, "That's it... Lan Zhan, I can't find cinnabar anymore." He took out a pen and said, "I used it last night! Who among you saw cinnabar?"
Lan Wangji also entered the study and found cinnabar. Wei Wuxian tapped twice with the tip of his pen in the delicate small cup, poured another cup of tea and sat down at the table, drinking tea in his left hand and writing in his right hand, without looking at the talisman paper. Shang Kuanghua was furious and said to Lan Wangji, "If you don't remember, then it's definitely gone. So, it hasn't touched Young Master Qin for two years. There must be other reasons. Okay, the painting is over."
He lifted up the still-green talisman on the table and handed it to Lan SiZhui, saying, "Send it to him."
Lan Sizhui took it and looked left and right, but he couldn't understand it at all. He had never seen such a crazy and eclectic rune in any book, and couldn't help but said, "Senior Wei, this... it's not your mess. Did you draw it?"
Wei WuXian said, "Of course it is."
"… "
"I never use my eyes to draw talismans."
"… "
Wei WuXian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's definitely useful. Speaking of which, SiZhui, don't you like this Young Master Qin?"
Lan Sizhui thought about it and said, "I don't know either." He said truthfully, "He didn't do anything wicked, but it might be difficult for me to get along with people with this temperament. I don't like him very much. The tone of voice when referring to 'domestic servants'…”
So far. Wei WuXian didn't notice it, and said, "It's common and common. Most people in this world look down on domestic servants. Sometimes even domestic servants look down on themselves... Why do you look at me like this?"
Halfway through the conversation, he couldn't help laughing and crying: "Stop, what misunderstanding do you have? Can this be compared? Lotus Pier is not an ordinary portal. When I was a child, I beat Jiang Cheng more times than he beat me!"
Lan WangJi didn't say a word, just hugged him silently. Wei Wuxian couldn't help laughing, he hugged him back and touched his back a few times. Lan SiZhui coughed, seeing Wei WuXian's calm demeanor, as if he was not at all sensitive to the word "domestic servant", he was relieved.
Wei WuXian said again, "However, I'm afraid he will come again."
Lan SiZhui was startled and said, "Can't we solve it today?"
Lan Wangji said, "He didn't finish his words."
Wei WuXian said, "Yes. It's not the first time anyway. This kind of person can't do anything about it. He just has to dig out bit by bit. Let's see if he can finish tonight after tonight."
As expected, the next day, while Lan Sizhui was practicing swordsmanship in Xiaozhuxuan's courtyard early in the morning, Young Master Qin came again.
As soon as he came, he covered his face and said, "I don't care!"
Lan SiZhui hurriedly said, "Young Master Qin, stay! The two seniors of my family are sleeping... they are cultivating! Don't be disturbed at the critical moment of cultivation!"
Hearing that, Young Master Qin didn't force his way into the yard, but he still threw his head full of resentment on Lan SiZhui: "I don't want to hear about a cure for the symptoms! I want this thing and don't come to me again!!! "
On the second night, Qin Gongzi couldn't sleep as usual, and read at night with the lights in the lobby. Not long after, the murderous corpse, the domestic servant, came as usual.
It still couldn't get into the house, jumping around outside the door, knocking on the door from time to time, but the wooden windows and the paper paste didn't break it apart. It didn't take long for the movement to fade away. Qin Gongzi, who hadn't closed his eyes well for several days, finally couldn't hold on anymore. If he was not careful, his drowsiness surged up, and with a tilt of his head, he sat down and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I was in a daze, and suddenly I heard three crisp knocks on the door. He was tense all over, his spine straightened, and he woke up suddenly.
A woman outside the door said, "Husband."
Qin Gongzi slept in the dark and didn't know his father. Hearing Mrs. Qin's voice, he got up and tried to open the door. But after a few steps, I suddenly remembered that Mrs. Qin had been crying, crying, and arguing with him for the past few days. It was impossible to pass the day. She just packed her things and went back to her mother's house yesterday. Since she came home out of fear, how could she have the courage to come back alone in the middle of the night
A woman's slender body was reflected on the paper window, and it really looked like his wife's figure. But Young Master Qin didn't dare to be careless, he quietly drew out his sword and asked, "Madam, why are you back? Are you not angry anymore?"
The woman outside the door said in a flat tone: "I'm back, I'm not angry, you open the door."
Young Master Qin didn't dare to open the door rashly, pointed his sword at the door, and said, "Madam, it's safer for you to go back to your husband-in-law. If it lingers near this house before it leaves, what should I do?"
There was silence outside the door.
Qin Gongzi's hand holding the sword broke out in cold sweat.
Suddenly, the woman raised her voice and screamed: "You still haven't opened the door! There's a ghost coming! Let me in!"
Outside the door, Mrs. Qin, who I don't know if it's real or fake, was screaming at the paper window. Young Master Qin's scalp was numb, holding the talisman sent by Wei Wuxian in his hand, a surge of blood suddenly surged up, and he raised his sword and rushed out the door—
Qin Gongzi said: "Then a bunch of things slammed into my face, knocking me out."
Wei WuXian asked, "What knocked you out?"
Young Master Qin pointed to the table. Wei Wuxian looked at it and said, "Why is it fruit?"
Qin Gongzi was angry: "How do I know!"
Wei WuXian said, "Of course you know, but no one knows about you. Xie Xun is very vengeful. Have you smashed him with fruit before?"
Qin Gongzi was gloomy and silent. Wei Wuxian knew from the look on his face that his guesses were indistinguishable, but he must have refused to admit it himself, and didn't ask any further questions. When Young Master Qin spoke again, he really changed the subject, "I sent someone to ask about my father-in-law this morning, but my wife didn't go out of their house at all last night."
Wei WuXian said, "It's something that breaks the protective barrier of Yang Zhai, and it is rarely seen in predecessors' notes and ancient books. In itself, it's not harmful, but it can imitate the voice and shape of the people close to the owner, and it will often Cooperate with the evil spirits who can't enter the door, help the evil spirits, and trick you to open the door yourself. The corpse has found a good helper."
Qin Gongzi said: "No matter what it is, I know it's useless. Son, the second door has been broken, and this thing has entered the lobby of my house. I dare to ask if you want to tell me again that there is nothing to do?"
"Young Master Qin," Wei WuXian said, "Let's be reasonable. You opened the second door yourself. If it wasn't for my talisman, I wouldn't dare to say what shape you are now."
Young Master Qin choked and said, "If this goes on like this, next time I wake up, will I be able to see that thing standing beside my bed!"
Wei WuXian said, "If you really want to sleep peacefully, Young Master Qin, you should think about it quickly, is there anything else you forgot to say? Don't hold back any more this time, it's important to know tonight, hahaha, no I scare you, it's in front of your bedroom door."
Out of desperation, Young Master Qin had to say one more thing.
"The last time I saw this person was when I returned to my hometown to worship my parents and ancestors two years ago. At that time, I went back to the family's old house to worship, and I was equipped with a jade pendant."
Qin Gongzi said: "He recognized it as something from my grandmother's lifetime, and borrowed it from me to see. I thought of him because I wanted to remember my grandmother, so I gave it. I don't know how long he didn't look at it, the jade pendant was lost."
Wei WuXian said, "What do you mean by lost? Did he lose it or sell it?"
Qin Gongzi hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know. I thought he sold it, but he came back and lied that he had lost it. But... "
He didn't answer, Wei Wuxian said patiently, "But what?"
Lan Wangji's expression was cold from beginning to end, and he said, "But it's okay to say it."
Qin Gongzi said: "But, thinking about it now, he shouldn't sell my grandmother's things."
"Later I heard that this man likes to drink, maybe he lost his drink at night, or was stolen. Anyway, I was angry and scolded him for a while."
Wei WuXian said, "Wait. Young Master Qin, matters of life and life cannot be equivocal. The word 'rebuke' can be light or heavy, and the difference can be huge. What exactly is the method of 'rebuke'?"
Young Master Qin frowned and added, "I remember being beaten a little."
Wei WuXian blinked and said, "This... that lame leg of his was probably interrupted by you."
