At night, a lamp is like a bean. Under the flickering candlelight, the young man is closing his eyes and meditating alone, with a few open scrolls spread out in front of him.
With a squeak, the door was pushed open, and the old servant Zheng Bo came in with a cup of hot ginseng soup, placed it in front of the table respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Young master, the soup you just made, drink it while it's hot."
The young man opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dark and moist pupils, which were obviously pure and innocent, but they looked particularly impressive in the night.
After seeing the old man in front of him, his complexion was obviously much softer, the corners of his mouth were bent, he nodded and opened the soup cup and slowly drank it with a porcelain spoon.
Uncle Zheng observed the little master's expression carefully. Seeing that he was in a good mood, he couldn't help but hesitate to mention: "Master, now that your side is stable, shouldn't it be time to pick a day to take over the young lady?"
With a "click", the porcelain spoon in the young man's hand fell to the edge of the table and broke into two pieces. He looked at the old servant who took care of him growing up, and finally sighed. He didn't have the heart to say anything. He just pressed his forehead and stood up.
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the library.
He could understand what the old servant was thinking. The Zhou Dynasty did not prohibit taking men as wives and concubines, so in Zheng Bo’s view, since he had married that person and entered the bridal chamber, that person was the daughter-in-law of his Chi family, the young lady he was marrying at Chi Yanming. , Naturally, it is necessary to connect to Beijing as soon as possible. Not only must they join Beijing as soon as possible, but also bring the young lady back to their hometown as soon as possible to pay respects to the wife who died prematurely and the ancestors of the Chi family. He never confessed the truth to the old servant, and Uncle Zheng could only guess based on clues that he didn't like his wife and he was the same man, so he was reluctant to pick him up.
But the truth is far from that.
In the yard, Chi Yan lifted up the large sleeve of his robe on the left side tremblingly against the moonlight, and saw a finger-wide silver chain intertwined on his fair left forearm, reflecting the silver light in the moonlight, like a silver chain. The snake finally grabbed his wrist. This thing is not heavy, you will get used to it after wearing it for a long time, and it will not affect your daily activities.
But Chi Yan couldn't help trembling when he saw the chain - it was the thing that locked him on him.
He still remembered that the morning when he left, it was very cloudy, the window was foggy, and it was still dark inside, and it was impossible to see the outside through the warm scarlet curtain. While pressing him and kissing him, the man stretched out his left hand and put his left hand on the wrists of his hands bound by the silver chain, and dexterously moved his fingers to unlock the dark lock on the silver chain.
His hands were finally free, and before Chi Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the man pull up his left arm, wrap the whole silver chain around it, and finally lock it firmly at the wrist.
He looked anxiously and indignantly at the other party with his round black eyes open, but the other party just chuckled, leaned over and placed a kiss on the lock of his wrist: "... darling, don't think about running, wait for me to find it. you."
His breath was cold, his eyebrows curved up with a smile, but his dark eyes were bottomless.
The red candles outside Qingluo's tent crackled to the end, but under the candlelight, only his shadow was reflected on the tent.
In the courtyard, Chi Yan closed his eyes, put down his robe sleeves again, and covered the delicate silver chain.
He knew it as early as the night of the bridal chamber, and his bride herself had no intention or intention to conceal it—the new wife who married him was not a human being.
After Chi Yan left, Uncle Zheng cleaned the study alone, put the soup cup back in the kitchen and looked at the moon in the sky, thinking of the little master, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
He was picked up by Chi Yan's mother when he was fleeing. For him, the other party is really a reconciliation to him, not to mention that he has no wife and children, and has always watched the little master grow up, although he has always abide by the master and servant. Duties, but the concern for the little master is not false at all. He knew that the young master had not been easy in these years. Now, seeing that the young master had finally achieved fame and obtained a job in the imperial court, he could be called a bright future, but he was unhappy because of family affairs. Naturally, he could not help but feel anxious. I want to match him and the young lady in love and harmony, and the piano and the melody.
The Chi family has a certain reputation in the Guanqing area. There are many children in the clan, and the Chi father is a relatively collateral branch of the clan. Mother Chi was originally a local orphan, living alone in a bamboo hut on a nearby mountain. One day, her father Chi went up the mountain with a friend for a hike but got lost in the mountains. She happened to meet her mother Chi who was washing the yarn by the stream, and she was shocked. Since then, they have not thought about eating and drinking, and have gone to the mountains to visit beautiful women every day.
Who knew that the good times would not last long. Mother Chi had not been pregnant for three years after entering the house. She was criticized by the clan. The clansmen persuaded Chi's father to take a concubine, and the elders of the clan kept putting pressure on him. Under the heavy pressure, Chi's father's love for his wife gradually faded, and he began to prepare for taking a concubine.
At this time, Mother Chi finally became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy named "Chi Yan". But just a month after Chi Yan's birth, Chi's mother's body gradually weakened, and all the doctors were helpless. She knew that her life was not long, and she even asked her maid to carry her son who was not satisfied for a hundred days after holding her son for the last time. I lit the mattress alone in the house... Eventually the fire was put out in time, but Chi's mother also died in the fire.
Not long after the death of Chi's mother, Chi's father married Xu Xian again, and the family soon added a pair of children to Chi's father.
The successor is in charge of all the affairs of the family. She doesn't like Chi feasts. Under the influence of the successor's family, Chi's father is not very concerned about his eldest son. The late feast at home will inevitably suffer a lot of harsh treatment. The maidservant of the late mother secretly protects him.
Uncle Zheng saved Chi's father's life after he came to Chi's house. He was a model of faithfulness to protect the Lord, and he was reliable in his work, so he was promoted by Chi's father as a housekeeper. After Jishi entered the door, although he didn't like Uncle Zheng who was loyal to Chi Yan, but he couldn't find an excuse to do something to the famous loyal servant of the clan, so he slowly arranged his own people to squeeze him out.
Uncle Zheng was all about taking care of the little master to grow up safely, and he didn't care about it, he just endured slowly.
Fortunately, Chi Yan is the eldest son of Chi's father, who is justifiable. After reaching the age of Stumbling on him.
Chi Yan lived up to expectations, passed the children's test and the township test at a young age, and only waited to go to Beijing to participate in the general test.
This time, Chi Yan's status in the clan has greatly increased, and even Chi's father is proud of this son who has been neglected by him for many years. But Chi Yan's stepmother was jealous. She also understood how she treated Chi Yan so harshly back then. She was jealous and worried that the other party would come back to take revenge on her after returning home.
Chi Yan set off from home to prepare to go to Beijing to take part in the examination. In addition to Zheng Bo, he also brought two servants from the clan and the family. Halfway through the road, the two servants said to relieve them, but they never returned. After all, Uncle Zheng had many years of life experience, and he was also wary of the hostess at home. When he saw this, he realized that something was wrong. He guessed that the two servants were bought by the other party, so he quickly let Chi Yan ride away.
Unexpectedly, the two servants drugged the horse, and the horse foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground before running two paces. At this time, a mountain bandit was already chasing after him, thinking that the other party secretly reported a letter to the mountain bandit.
In desperation, the master and servant had to leave the official road and run into the mountains on foot. They managed to get rid of the bandits. The sky darkened, and their vision became blurred. The leg was cut by a branch with a deep wound, which was simply bandaged with the torn clothes, and at this time, blood began to ooze.
The so-called unparalleled blessings and misfortunes do not come singly. The master and servant were in the mountains, tired and hungry, unable to tell where they were going. They didn't know how to go down the mountain, and it started pouring rain again. Chi Yan's body couldn't stand it, and gradually became hot, and her consciousness was also very unclear when she was fainting and waking up.
Uncle Zheng stretched out his hand to probe the little master's forehead, only to feel that everything he touched was scalding hot. He secretly thought that it was not good, and understood that the top priority must be to relieve the fever of the young master. But in this barren mountain, one can't even tell the way down the mountain, there is no one, let alone a medical center.
Just when he was anxious, he looked up and saw a brightly lit up in the mountains not far away. Uncle Zheng couldn't care more about it. He immediately wrapped Chi Yan in his clothes, put his back on his body and took him to the light.
When I got closer, I realized that it was an extremely splendid mansion. There were two unnamed bronze beasts squatting at the main entrance, and two heavy gilded door knockers were set on the black door.
Uncle Zheng put Chi Yan aside and stepped forward to lock the door. After a while, the door opened from the inside, and two young girls in goose-yellow Lingluo dresses walked out. Uncle Zheng didn't have much knowledge. He only felt that the two girls were exquisitely dressed and dressed more luxuriously than the hostess at home. After thinking about it, he knelt down in front of the door with a plop, and begged the two daughters to save the life of their master with tears in their eyes.
Seeing that Uncle Zheng was also at a loss, the two girls quickly bent down to help him.
Among them, the older woman in the goose-yellow dress thought for a moment and said, "It's fine to stay overnight with you tonight, but you have to be honest and don't disturb our master. You will be leaving early tomorrow."
The woman spoke rudely, but Uncle Zheng didn't care about this much at this time. Hearing that the other party was willing to take them in was a huge thank you. He stood up and thanked him repeatedly, and then ran to Chi Yan to help him up and follow the two. A girl enters.
After entering the gate, I felt that this mansion was extraordinary, with extraordinary momentum. The pavilions and pavilions were exquisite everywhere. When I looked up, I saw carved beams and painted buildings. There were glazed lanterns hanging under the eaves. Swaying, the winding corridor in the center is surrounded by a green lake, sparkling in the light of the night lights.
The black door closed behind the two of them, and the slightly younger round-faced girl led them to a remote courtyard, opened the door for the two of them, and said softly, "Don't blame the two of you. Sister speaks frankly, she is also for your good, I am afraid that you will get into trouble that you should not cause. You two must not leave this yard tonight, and I will send you two away tomorrow morning. "
After saying that, the girl said goodbye and left, and after a while, she brought over the herbs to dispel dampness and reduce fever. Zheng Bodao went to the stove in the yard to boil hot water and boiled the medicine, and waited for Chi Yan to eat the medicine.
"This house is a bit weird. In such a big place and so many yards, we just came in but there was no sound at all. It seems that there are only those two little girls." Uncle Zheng muttered as he packed the medicine bowl.
Chi Yan took the medicine and rested for a while, changed out of wet clothes, dried her body, and felt much better, after hearing the words, she said, "I'm afraid the owner of this house is not an ordinary person, the rules are strict, let's take a night off and listen to that tomorrow. If the two girls leave, leave as soon as possible."
Zheng Bo should be right, and the master and servant will rest here.
But the sky didn't follow people's wishes. The next morning was gloomy. The rain poured down, and the pea-sized raindrops cracked on the window lattice, so that people could hardly open their eyes. In such weather, don't mention the mountains, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the gate.
Chi Yan still had a low-grade fever, her whole body was limp, and she couldn't lift her strength. Seeing this scene, the two girls couldn't drive them out, so they could only let them stay for another day, and brought them medicine and food.
As a result, in the evening, Chi Yan's fever not only did not subside, but the fever became more severe, but the two girls did not appear again. Uncle Zheng was so impatient, and after thinking twice, he still put the safety of Chi Yan as the most important thing, and he hurried out of the yard to find someone, regardless of the repeated instructions of the two women. Although this piece of land was built in the mountains, according to common sense, given the scale of this mansion, there must be a doctor in the mansion who specializes in treating people in the mansion, and Uncle Zheng wanted to invite someone to see his young master.
Uncle Zheng has been gone for a long time and hasn't come back. Chi Yan slept and felt a little better, and his fever subsided. He couldn't help but worry that the old servant and the old servants would smash into the nobles in this mansion, and that Uncle Zheng would be out of the house with poor legs and feet. What an accident.
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't sit still anymore. I forced myself to get off the ground with the bed, I felt like the world was spinning for a while, my feet were weak, and I couldn't make up my mind, but I still leaned on the wall and walked slowly forward. Feel a lot easier.
At this time, Chi Yan was a little young and energetic, and felt that if Uncle Zheng had accidentally offended the host, he should also come forward to persuade him. I also felt that I was going to participate in the exam after all, and the host might also sell myself a bit of face. Moreover, the two masters and servants are staying here, and it is reasonable to say that they should thank the master.
It was already evening, the rain had stopped, the clouds had dissipated, and the setting sun had illuminated the sky with large clouds of orange, red, purple and yellow. Chi Yan walked out of the courtyard without discerning the direction. Originally, he wanted to ask the servants in the palace, but after walking out for a long time, he couldn't see a single person.
He was feeling strange when he saw sparkling water in front of him, and a green lake in front of him. He wanted to come here and connect all the water systems in the house. In front of the lake stood a young man with a jade crown on his head and a black robe, looking at the lake with his back to him.
Chi Yan saw the other party's extraordinary clothes, and guessed that the other party's status was unusual. He paused in his footsteps, stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask that the young master is the master of this mansion?"
Hearing the sound, the man turned around, his jet-black eyes fixed on him, darkened slightly, and suddenly said after a while, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
His skin was pale, as if he had not seen the sun all year round, but even so, he couldn't hide his appearance. His voice was cold, and he had the aura of a superior. Chi Yan was forced by the other party's power, and after a moment's delay, he followed the other party's question to figure out how to go to Beijing to take the exam, how to be persecuted by the thieves and escape into the forest, how to get lost in illness and helplessly go to the mansion Staying overnight, and how to find out that the old servant was gone and went out to look for people in a hurry. After he finished speaking, he apologized to the other party for the harassment, and then thanked him again and again.
The man seemed to think for a moment after hearing this, then raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Chi Yan's arrival, "Go back from here, your old servant will be back soon."
Chi Yan felt that this person was a little weird, and he said this without thinking. How did he know that Uncle Zheng would go back soon? But subconsciously, he felt a bit of a drum in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask again, so he had to thank him in a nonchalant manner, turned around and returned along the same path.
He didn't see the man standing there all the time, staring at him without blinking until his figure disappeared completely.
Chi Yan went back to the yard to wait for a while, but he didn't see Uncle Zheng coming back. When he couldn't help but want to go out to find someone again, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Uncle Zheng came back.
As soon as the old man entered the door, he sighed repeatedly, saying that he had somehow lost his way after walking out of the yard. The wall, knowing that just now, somehow found the way back. But this time, neither the doctor nor the people around him were found, so he couldn't find someone to treat Chi Yan's illness, and the old man felt quite ashamed.
Chi Yan repeatedly reassured him and said that he was much better. Uncle Zheng looked at the little master's expression carefully and found that his spirit was indeed much better, so he felt relieved and took the medicinal materials that the two girls sent in the morning to Chi. Feast decoction.
Soon the sky completely darkened, Chi Yan finished drinking the medicine, and the two master and servant discussed leaving early tomorrow morning.
But this night, Chi Yan slept quite restlessly. During half-dreaming and half-awake, he felt as if he was being hounded by something. The thing was icy cold all over his body. , the face also rubs against each other. But after a long time, I felt uncomfortably restrained, my whole body was tightly bound, and my body was unbearably cold, so I subconsciously whimpered and wanted to run.
However, if he wanted to run, he couldn't run away. He ducked back, and the thing got closer. Instead of just holding him in his arms, he acted recklessly as... Chi Yan and the other party were close to each other. The place was unbearably cold, and the inside was scorched into unbearable bursts of fiery heat, but the consciousness was groggy and could not wake up, and could only let the other party do whatever he wanted, so he was entangled with that thing all night.
This night he was afraid, tired, anxious and uncomfortable, but he felt that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and it was uncomfortable and sticky.
When he woke up the next day, he didn't feel tired, and the sticky feeling like a spring dream disappeared.
The house they lived in was divided into two rooms: Chi Yan slept in the inner room, and Uncle Zheng slept in the outer room to take care of him. Chi Yan woke up and asked Uncle Zheng tentatively, "Abo, did anyone come to us last night?"
Zheng Bo shook his head: "No, the old slave has been guarding outside, and I have never seen anyone come over."
Chi Yan shook his head and attributed everything last night to a dream.
Uncle Zheng waited for Chi Yan to wash up as usual, and then began to make the bed. Suddenly, his legs became weak, and he fell beside the bed and couldn't stand up. Chi Yan hurriedly reached out to help him, and helped Uncle Zheng to lie down on the bed, only to see the old man's eyes closed, his hands and feet twitching slightly, his face flushed abnormally, and his mouth trembled and his teeth collided.
Chi Yan was shocked and was at a loss for a while, when there was a knock on the door, Chi Yan hurried over to open the door, and outside stood the two girls who welcomed their master and servant in that night.
Chi Yan hurriedly welcomed the two daughters in and asked them to help visit Uncle Zheng. Unexpectedly, the older woman's face changed when she saw Uncle Zheng, she looked at Chi Yan and said solemnly, "Has he ever been out of this yard?"
Chi Yan remembered the two women's previous advice, and his heart felt empty, but at this time he had to admit: "Yes, I was seriously ill before, and Uncle Zheng couldn't rest assured, so..."
Before he finished speaking, the older woman waved her hand to interrupt him: "Don't say it. This old man has been dragged into the gate of hell with both feet. If you listen to me, you can take him away as soon as possible and find a good one. A place to let the elderly go to earth for safety.”
Chi Yan was stunned when he heard this. In his opinion, Uncle Zheng had always been tough before, but he suddenly fell ill, but this girl made this judgment without even asking the doctor, and directly said that Uncle Zheng was going to die. In addition to being puzzled, he was also faintly angry, and his face showed a hint of sullenness.
The younger girl also advised: "Young Master, don't be impatient. The two of us sisters have instructed the two of you not to leave the yard in every possible way, but since the two of you didn't obey, there is nothing you can do now. Let the old man rest in peace sooner. "
Chi Yan knew that it was the fault of his master and servant that he didn't listen to the entrustment of the two girls. If he ran into the host's house and caused trouble to the two girls, it would not be beautiful. But when it came to the life and death of the old servant, he couldn't help but get a little angry, and said to the two women: "I also left this yard. According to you, should I die too?"
The two women showed a hint of surprise on their faces, looked at each other, and finally the older woman said, "My sisters kindly let your master and servant come in to rest and shelter from the rain, but I didn't expect that they would end up hurting you. I see you. There is still life, I will show you a clear path. If you want to die, just listen to me and carry this old man on your back and hurry up and bury the old man. As long as you can get out of this mountain before sunset, you may be able to retrieve it. One life; if you don't listen to me, there are leftover herbs here, you can try to drink it for this old man. But I want to remind you that the Queen Mother's elixir can't save the dead, he has two Your feet have been dragged into the gates of hell, and the rest is just a matter of time, if you insist on doing your own thing, you are afraid that you will put yourself here too."
Of course, Chi Yan refused to take Uncle Zheng out as they said and bury him there, but he couldn't find a doctor right now, so he had to be a living horse doctor, thanking the two women with a sullen face Bo decocts the medicine and waits for the old man to drink it. Uncle Zheng was sweating all over. He changed the sweaty clothes for the old man, wiped his body with a dry towel, and put on clothes to dry. This busy, busy until sunset.
He didn't worry about Uncle Zheng, and let Uncle Zheng sleep on the bed in the inner room.
However, this feeling was not stable, and he had the same dream as last night, but it was clearer than the chaotic feeling yesterday.
He dreamed that someone seemed to push the door open and came in. He stood in front of his couch, leaned down, kissed his neck and cheek, and he stretched out his hand to push it, but the man put his hand into his clothes and groped recklessly. He wanted to struggle. , but he was picked up by the man, and he was carried straight out of the yard. I didn't know where to go and pushed open a door and walked in. He threw him down in front of the bed, and then leaned over and pressed him...
The scene in the dream was even more turbulent than the day before. He vaguely remembered that his clothes were all torn and torn, barely hanging on his body, and they were wrinkled and dirty... In the end, it seemed that the man took one A black satin robe came over, wrapped him directly, and carried him back to the yard where he lived...
Chi Yan woke up from the dream, looked left and right, and saw that the sky was bright, obviously it was already three poles in the sun. Uncle Zheng was still lying on the bed, breathing steadily, but he still didn't wake up from the coma.
Chi Yan thought that there was no way to drag it on like this, so let's say goodbye and take Uncle Zheng down the mountain to find a doctor to have a good look.
He looked down, but was stunned. I saw that he had all the clothes inside. It was indeed his own clothes that were good, but he was wrapped in an unfamiliar black robe. The robe was of excellent quality, obviously made of high-quality silk and satin. It was as thick and smooth as water, and the workmanship was exquisite. The cuffs, robes and feet were all drawn with gold threads to outline delicate and luxurious cloud patterns.
It is not accurate to say that it is unfamiliar, after all, he seems to have seen this dress in his dream last night.
Chi Yan blushed all of a sudden, and his body trembled slightly. Could it be that what he experienced last night was not a dream, he was really robbed by someone in his room, doing whatever he wanted as in a dream Have you ever played? But why has he never woken up? Although he has a sense of touch, he has always felt that it is not real, and he just regarded it as a dream. Could it be that the food and drink are not right, and he unknowingly got the Dao
But he couldn't say such words. He followed his husband to read books on sages and sages since he was a child, and he attached great importance to propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. Such a thing is obviously not about shame. How can a decent gentleman do it? He could only hide this matter in his belly, and when the two women came, he only told the other party that he planned to leave and took Zheng Bo to the bottom of the mountain to find a doctor.
He took out the remaining entanglement and wanted to thank the two women as a gift, but the two sisters refused to accept it. The men and women couldn't accept it, so Chi Yan had no choice but to take the money back.
The younger sister opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but was pulled by her older sister. The older woman had already been angered by Chi Yan's behavior of doing her own way and not listening to advice, and she didn't want her sister to talk to him any more.
So the two sisters watched Chi Yan pick up the little luggage that was left, carry the old servant on his back and leave, and start cleaning up the house after he walked out of the gate.
The younger sister was cleaning the room, and suddenly exclaimed, the elder sister walked in, just about to scold her for making a fuss, she saw her holding a black robe in her hands, standing bewildered, looking at her with panic, looking at her and said, "Sister, Sister, this is... Master, he is afraid that he has already found out that we have released people in. "
Chi Yan walked down the mountain with Uncle Zheng on his back. He was a scholar, and he had little strength and no experience in the wild. He walked and stopped with Uncle Zheng on his back, lost his direction from time to time, and had to start again. Circle back.
Before I knew it, the sun was gradually moving westward, and the dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and soon it started to rain again. Fortunately, it wasn't raining much at first, so Chi Yan gritted his teeth and ran down the mountain with Uncle Zheng behind his back.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of grinding his teeth on the side of his ear. He was a little puzzled. Looking back, he saw that Uncle Zheng's eyes were closed, his eyes were rolling, his throat was ho-ho, and his teeth were constantly grinding.
He thought that Uncle Zheng was sick again, so he quickly called "Uncle Zheng" and "Uncle Zheng" twice. But the old servant ignored it, and just kept writhing, suddenly opened his eyes, both eyes burst outward, his face turned blue, and two fangs grew out of his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to bite at Chi Yan. . It didn't look like the usual kind and loyal old servant, but rather like some kind of evil spirit crawling out of hell.
Chi Yan jumped in horror and quickly broke free. Uncle Zheng fell off his back without support, his complexion returned to normal, but he fell into a coma again.
Chi Yan shivered and touched the old man, but Uncle Zheng didn't respond. After all, Chi Yan couldn't leave the old servant alone, so he gritted his teeth and carried Uncle Zheng on his back again, and quickly ran down the mountain in the rain.
However, until it was completely dark, he still could not find the way down the mountain. He was cold, hungry, anxious and afraid all by himself. Suddenly, he saw a light not far away. He was overjoyed and hurriedly walked in that direction. I thought that it would be good to have someone home, at least I could buy some food and stay overnight. If the sky was clear tomorrow, I would ask about the way down the mountain. If I was lucky, I might even invite a doctor to see Zheng Bo.
However, his expectations completely cooled before and after he approached. He saw that it was an extremely splendid mansion, with two unnamed bronze beasts squatting at the main entrance, and two inlaid on the black door. Heavy gilded door knocker. Rich and solemn, grand and dignified, it was the mansion he had just left in the morning.
Chi Yan was hesitating whether to go forward and knock on the door again, when there was a sound of grinding his teeth from behind.
Chi Yan was instantly anxious and scared, and didn't even dare to look back. Just as he was about to put down Uncle Zheng and knock on the door, the two black doors opened by themselves, and the pair of sisters still greeted them.
Strange to say, after seeing the sisters, Uncle Zheng became quiet again.
It's just that this time when the two women looked at Chi Yan again, there was something in his eyes that he couldn't understand, like pity, helplessness, and sigh. However, Chi Yan didn't notice anything, and walked up to the two women in embarrassment and said, "Two sisters, please let us wait for one more night, I lost my way when we went out today, and unfortunately it rained again. After walking for a day, I walked back here again."
The two women nodded and said nothing, as if they had expected to open the door, let him walk in with Uncle Zheng on his back, and took them back to the yard where they lived before.
Lighting the lights for the two of them, after arranging everything, the two sisters did not leave, but stood under the lights and looked at Chi Yan quietly and said, "My master said that as long as you promise a marriage, the master will rescue him. The old man's life."
However, Chi Yan suddenly burst into anger. It seems that the master here does have a way to save Uncle Zheng, but he is prejudiced that he will not be saved, and he will use some kind of marriage as a threat. Don't say how the marriage is, he simply despises this life-threatening behavior, not a gentleman's act.
But the family has taken in his master and servant many times in times of crisis, and they really have no obligation to treat Uncle Zheng, so Chi Yan couldn't say anything more serious, just turned his head and said, "You don't need to say it, girl, tomorrow My master and servant will leave in the morning."
The older woman nodded and didn't force it, but said again: "Then listen to me, bury the old man as soon as possible tomorrow morning, and go down the mountain earlier."
Chi Yan was even more angry when he heard the words, but he couldn't say anything else, so he just nodded with a stern face.
The two masters and servants settled down in the previous house.
After lying on the bed, Uncle Zheng's condition improved a lot, his body no longer trembled, and the grinding teeth that made Chi Yan tremble with fear disappeared. It's just that the old man's face was covered with a layer of blue and gray, like a ghost who stepped into the Hall of the King of Hell with half a foot.
But Chi Yan was grown up by the old man. Even if Uncle Zheng looked like this, he didn't feel too scared, but felt sad and worried. He went to the yard to boil water, scrubbed Zheng Bo's body with hot water, and carefully dressed the old man and covered him with a quilt.
He was unwilling to accept the coercion of the owner of the house to agree to Luo Shizi's marriage, but of course he would not find a place to bury Uncle Zheng as the older woman said. Chi Yan had already made up his mind, he would leave at dawn tomorrow, and he would take Uncle Zheng to a doctor anyway.
He was afraid that something would happen to Uncle Zheng, and he noticed that he was not taking care of him in time, so he didn't take off his clothes, so he sat on the wooden chair in the room with his clothes on, lying on the wooden desk and closed his eyes.
When he slept until the middle of the night, he felt in a daze that someone was standing in front of the table looking at him, but he couldn't open his eyes because of fatigue.
Then he felt that the "person" in front of him stretched out his hands. Those slender and powerful hands were so cold that they slid down his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and finally touched his lips. After stroking for a while, those hands continued down again, probing in along the collar of his loose coat, and wanton kneading on his chest.
Chi Yan was half awake as if drowsy, groaned in the dark sweet dream, and wriggled a bit, but the shadow took the opportunity to put both hands in, then grabbed his waist, and pushed him brutally against the hard body. On the wooden table…
When Chi Yan woke up the next day, he felt a little dizzy. He reluctantly raised his head from the table and looked down subconsciously. The clothes on his body were still well worn, and there was no sticky or uncomfortable place all over his body.
He vaguely remembered some of the situation from last night, but now it seems that it was just a dream, and there is no trace when he wakes up.
Chi Yan's face couldn't help turning red. He had never had such a dream when he was at home before, not to mention that the scene in the dream was so absurd... It turned out that he pleaded and tactfully lied beneath others.
Chi Yan shook his head and tried his best to drive away all those thoughts in his mind. When he looked out the window, he saw that the sky was already glowing with white light. He hurriedly turned around to pack his bags, and then carried Zheng Bo, who was still in a coma, on his back.
He couldn't find the two sisters to bid farewell, so he simply left a note and a bank note and left on his own.
When he was in the mansion, the sky was fine, but he didn't expect the sky to darken as soon as he left the mansion gate, and the darkness covered the top of his head, causing Chi Yan's heart to sink.
Chi Yan was thinking about Uncle Zheng's situation and didn't dare to delay at all. He chose the road that seemed the most flat and open.
In the room where he lived, the older woman looked at the note left by Chi Yan with an inexplicable expression on her face, and after a while, she sighed, "... She's a pedantic scholar who values love and righteousness."
The younger sister watched from the side, and her beautiful face showed a bit of worry: "Sister, do you think they can get out?"
The older woman slowly shook her head: "...with a living dead who only had one breath left, how could he leave this place of death...he wanted to spare his life, but he was obsessed with it."
"It's not necessarily..." The younger sister shuddered, thinking that she was thinking of something extremely terrifying, and trembled, "If he obeys the master, then..."
The older woman did not speak, and upon closer inspection, she could see that even in the sunlight, the faces of the two of her sisters were pale and bloodless.
Even if they are no longer from the sun, they still retain a bit of human temperament. How can they not understand that if a good living person is married to a ghost like a master, how can they escape the fate of being eaten into their stomachs
