Fang Hai was forcibly recruited by Bai Fuling to be an accompanying doctor. He traveled a long distance from Beiguan City to the capital. It was hard to say whether he would contract any disease or be accidentally injured. Therefore, Fang Hai had a lot of various medicinal materials in his car, enough to prepare Life-saving elixir for different diseases and... poison that kills invisible!
"What if he doesn't give it?" Bai Shao knew Fang Hai's nature too well, if he asked him to save someone, he would definitely take the lead immediately, and if he asked him to get some harmful medicine, he refused to agree at nineteen.
"You have to make it clear to him that someone is going to kill me, but I have kind thoughts in my heart and I don't want to hurt people. If they don't come to hurt me, I will never take the initiative to attack them. By the way, let Fang Hai prepare some drugs to deal with drug addiction , common laxatives." Bai Fuling suddenly weakened herself into an innocent victim, and her safety was concerned, Fang Hai generally would not be too principled. She guessed that if the other party wanted to attack them, they would probably choose to use drugs. After all, there were a lot of them, and many of them could be seen as Lian Jiazi at a glance, so it was not so easy to eat them. If she was a bandit, she would choose to use drugs and laxatives to reduce the combat effectiveness of the robbed target first.
Sure enough, Bai Shao asked for the medicine back soon. Bai Fuling divides the medicine into two parts, Bai Shao takes one part, and herself takes one part.
The horse team bid farewell to Lushan Town slowly, walked forward along the official road, and stopped at the foot of a hill at noon to rest. After lunch, they had to climb over this hill before arriving at the next town for the night.
The mother and daughter were very lively along the way, trying to curry favor with the maid who was in the same car. The woman claimed her surname was Xu, and her husband's surname was Shen. She was a scholar. Her daughter's nickname was Ruzhu, and her hometown was in Xiazhou. The husband failed many times, and his family was poor. Last year, there was a famine. Some people in Xiazhou took the opportunity to rebel and the imperial court sent troops to suppress it. The two sides fought fiercely, and the life of the people was even more difficult. Therefore, the Shen family moved to Pingzhou. Unexpectedly, before he settled down in Pingzhou, the husband became seriously ill, and the little money he had was exhausted, and he died in the end.
Xu's words were eloquent and emotional, Ruzhu kept wiping her tears beside her and weeping in a low voice to create a sad atmosphere, which really touched a few little maids, and comforted them one after another: "My master is the most lenient, you will support me in the future You can live a good life, but you can’t come back to life after death, so let’s be sad and resigned.”
Mrs. Xu thanked them one by one, and took the opportunity to ask about the affairs of the Bai family. , Seeing these little maids around me also wearing gold and silver, and covered in silk and satin, I was overjoyed.
In the middle of lunch, the sky suddenly changed, a gust of cold wind blew past, dark clouds rushed over from the horizon, and the rainstorm was coming.
The whole group of the Bai family yelled bad luck. It's already late autumn, and there was a shower of rain. Now the weather is cold, and it's not just a joke to get wet in the rain.
People want to hide in the car to avoid the rain, and it is really crowded. The worst thing is that the rain will definitely delay the trip. Today, I can’t make it to the opposite side of the mountain. It’s a problem where I can spend the night. Do you want to go back to Lushan Town after going to the shop
Everyone was in a hurry when the mother and daughter of Shen's family who sold themselves to bury their father suddenly stood up, Mrs. Xu said to Hongqu, "When we came here a few days ago, we saw an empty mansion in the mountain depression ahead."
Hongqu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he hurriedly told Yang Mei that Yang Mei was the steward of the motorcade, and Bai Pingzi went to the front to open the way. Among the group of people, she was the steward, and immediately sent Bai Ah Wu Going to check, if there is such a place, a group of people hurried over without caring about others.
When I ran to the gate of the mansion, raindrops the size of soybeans had already poured down from the sky.
The mansion seemed to have been vacant for a long time, and the dilapidated gate was half-closed, it looked like the mansion of a rich family. Entering the door is a square courtyard. After passing through this courtyard and bypassing the screen wall is the hall.
On the left side of the courtyard is the promenade for people to walk and lead to the hall, and on the right side is the place where carriages are parked and horses are placed. This is the unique house design of a large family in the northwest of the Qi State. People can get off the car at the side of the corridor and go directly to the hall, so as to minimize the wind and cold when the host and distinguished guests enter and exit.
Due to disrepair for a long time, a small slope where the carriage entered the house collapsed and a large piece was missing, and the distance between the wheels and axles of the Bai family's carriage was too large, so it was almost impossible to quickly drive into the yard.
Bai Fuling and others entered the house first, turned around and saw other people running back and forth trying to drive the carriages into the courtyard one by one, and shouted angrily: "People and horses came in to hide from the rain, and the empty carriages are still here for a while." Can you fly to the sky?!"
Amid the neighing and neighing, her voice could only be heard by a few people around her. Bai Shao cheered up and repeated the words aloud. The carriage full of belongings was driven into the yard, and the horses pulling the empty carriage were untied and led into the house.
It didn't take more than a quarter of an hour, and everyone hid in the house.
The three members of the Bai family and the women in the convoy were in the car all the time. They didn't get caught in the rain, and they got busy quickly when they entered the hall of the house. Some made a fire, and some were going to clean up the resting place.
Everyone was busy when suddenly there was an exclamation from the backyard, and several guards hurried towards the direction of the sound. After a while, Yang Mei walked back to the hall with a pale face and said to Bai Fuling: "Miss, just now the girls found her in the back. There are many memorial tablets in a side hall... I'm afraid there is something wrong with this house."
Mrs. Xu came out from nowhere, and tremblingly said: "It's all the little woman's fault. We asked people about the origin of this vacant house in Lushan Town. I heard that it was there decades ago. The plague has killed many people, it is not clean... "
Yang Mei got angry and said, "Then you still suggest we come here?"
Xu's face was apologetic and cowardly, she bowed her head and said: "The little lady is confused. The little lady thought it was the flattery of the people in the town, so she didn't take it to heart. She only remembered it after hearing what Sister Yang said."
Bai Fuling stood up and said: "It's already here, what else can I do? On this bastard's rainy day, I would rather stay in a haunted house than brave the rain. There are nearly a hundred of us here, so what's there to be afraid of being full of yang energy? Besides , who am I, your lady, if a ghost sees me, I have to play honestly. Let’s go! Let’s go and see who is in the side hall.”
Yang Mei originally thought that this place might be a haunted house, and something was wrong with her body, but after hearing Bai Fuling's words, she felt that she was suspicious.
Bai Fuling said it lightly, but she was actually a little vigilant in her heart. She was not afraid of ghosts in the house, but she was afraid of some mechanism or thieves plotting against her. He specially hugged Xiao Lihua and took Bai Shao to the side hall together.
The Bai couple was worried about their daughter, so they also went together. No one noticed, and the mother and daughter shyly followed behind them secretly exchanged a smug look.
This house is very large, with five entrances at the front and back. Although most of the doors and windows have been decayed and damaged, the luxury of the heyday can still be seen. The side hall where the memorial tablets are placed is on the east side of the third entrance yard. It is really far away. It is not easy for ordinary people to find this side hall when they pass by this yard. Someone must have lured others here on purpose.
A little maid and three guards stood in front of the side hall. The little girl's name is He Geng, she was the one who screamed just now, she has completely calmed down now, when she saw Bai Fuling and the others approaching, she stepped forward and saluted.
Bai Fuling asked casually: "When you found this side hall, were you alone?"
He Geng shook his head and said, "Miss Ruzhu was also there, and she was also very scared. Later, when Sister Yang came, she followed her back."
Sure enough... it must be this Ruzhu that led the lotus stem here.
Bai Fuling remained calm, and walked into the side hall with her parents, facing a musty smell of stagnant air. The hall was empty, only hundreds of memorial tablets of different sizes were neatly lined up from high to low. Judging by the surname, this family should be Gao.
Several people looked at the whole side hall carefully, and found nothing else, Bai Fuling said: "I've never heard of a ghost who knows how to set up a memorial tablet for himself. This is probably the place where the descendants of the Gao family worship their ancestors. Let's borrow It’s not good to disturb their ancestors anymore, so don’t come to this house again. Anyway, this house is very big, even if we spend the night here, we don’t have to worry about not having enough rooms.”
That's exactly what the Bai family meant. Everyone bowed to the memorial tablet, then retreated and walked back to the hall. The Bai couple also suspected what Xu's mother and daughter were planning to do with this house, and secretly signaled a few guards to carefully monitor their every move, while Mu Peilan dragged Bai Fuling and whispered: "Will the two mother and daughter Could it be that woman surnamed Cui who came here to harm you? Hmph! It's really deceiving, she did it before we did anything to her."
The Bai family heard about Cui Zhenyi asking Qiufengge to kill Bai Fuling more than a month ago. Bai Fuling is indeed Cui Zhenyi's natural nemesis, and this time is no exception.
Before Bai Chou retired from the Jianghu, he "coincidentally" was the number one person in the Qiufeng Pavilion. He disbanded the Qiufeng Pavilion back then, and brought many former brothers out of the Jianghu to start a business. Together with them, they reorganized the Qiufeng Pavilion after many years of silence. These people chose differently from Bai Chou, but they still talked about the old feelings, so Yang Heng was hunted down first in Beiguan City, and Bai Fuling rescued him , Qiufeng Pavilion withdrew from the assassination operation for a very simple reason - not wanting to confront Bai Chou. They were not sure how good the guy who was rescued by Bai Chou's precious daughter had a good relationship with them, so it was troublesome, so they simply rejected the deal.
This time Cui Zhenyi came to them, and she wanted them to kill the precious daughter of the former boss! How can this be? !
