Judgement

Chapter 46 Exogenous branches

Chen Mengsheng hurriedly supported Zheng Weimin and went back to the house. After a while, he patted his chest and back.Then Zheng Weimin woke up slowly, crying loudly when he thought that Ye Shuang'er was dead.

After Zheng Weimin finished crying, Chen Mengsheng asked: "Duanyang Festival before February, what else did you think about?"

Zheng Weimin lost his mind and murmured: "How can I forget that..."

That day I was hugging Peng'er to give you sweets, but Lu Yunxiao rushed over angrily, couldn't help but slap Peng'er and dragged the child into Qianyuan.I wanted to go to Lu Yunxiao and explain that it was just a joke, but I knocked on the door for a long time, only to hear Peng'er's heart-piercing cries but no one came to open the door.

I waited outside Qianyuan, probably after a stick of incense.Lu Yunxiao came out with a livid face, and when he saw me, he let out a cold snort.I went over and explained to him.He not only didn't listen to what I said, but also ridiculed me, saying that I was guilty of being a thief, so I had no choice but to follow him from a distance, and followed him all the way to the Zuixian Restaurant in Yifengqiao, Huzhou Prefecture.I didn't bring much money with me, so I waited for him to come out outside the Zuixian Restaurant and explained to him.I remember that Lu Yunxiao didn't drink until the second watch of the night when he was so drunk that he was dragged out by the staff of Zuixian Restaurant.I saw the guy call a donkey cart for him, and told the driver to go to Qianyuan.The handlebar type was a ten-year-old boy who drove away.

"Then what happened later?" Chen Mengsheng asked.

"Later, I couldn't keep up with the donkey cart, so I had no choice but to go home. When I arrived at Zhuangzi, I heard that the third master who was in charge died at the door of my house. It was already four watch days. The dead body of the third master had already let them My family members carried it back, and I myself was full of troubles, so I didn't ask about the third master."

Hearing why someone was killed, Chen Mengsheng frowned for a long time and was speechless, thinking that the death of the third uncle was a little strange, was it a sudden death?Still saw something?

"Then have you ever seen Lu Yunxiao before?"

"No, who the hell are you. Why are you asking me this?"

"Don't you know that the Lu residence in Qianyuan is haunted by ghosts?"

"I, I, went to Lu Zhai the next day. It was already empty. I only saw this in Lu Zhai's study." Zheng Weimin took out a piece of Ye Shuang'er's death letter from under the mat. It is self-cleaning, and the turbid one is turbid. The injustice that is not in vain can be manifested with death." These sixteen characters.

Chen Mengsheng asked: "Have you never looked for Ye Shuang'er?"

"I've been looking for it every day. In the past two months, I have traveled all over Huzhou and Shaoxing. I finally found the private school where Lu Yunxiao teaches, but people say that Lu Yunxiao never went back. I thought it was Lu Yunxiao who came back. After Qianyuan took Ye Shuang'er away, I didn't expect Shuang'er to die, she died. I killed her, I killed her." Zheng Weimin beat his chest, stomped his feet and burst into tears again.

When Chen Mengsheng walked out of Zheng Weimin's house shaking his head and sighing, it was already noon.There were a few children in the back village who were catching crickets in the field. Chen Mengsheng quietly walked over to help the children turn over the big rocks. The children caught the crickets and were very grateful to Chen Mengsheng. stop.Chen Mengsheng asked with a smile: "Does any of you know where the third master who is playing watch lives?"

"I know."

"I know."

"The third one in the east is the one with the Zaohong gate." Several children rushed to answer Chen Mengsheng, so that Chen Mengsheng didn't know who to listen to.

The third master can be regarded as a highly respected person in Houzhuang. He has been dead for two months, but whenever Houzhuang mentioned this old man, he would sigh from the bottom of his heart.Chen Mengsheng came to the third house with a date red wooden door in the east of the village, raised his hand to knock on the door, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl came to open the door.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I came here to enjoy the lotus. I was thirsty and wanted to ask for a bowl of water."

"Grandma, grandma. A passer-by wants to ask for water." The little girl asked back.

"Little girl, why don't you let me come in and have a drink of water, sit down and rest for a while."

Chen Mengsheng entered the courtyard and saw a white-haired and filial old woman picking lotus seeds in the shed with five or six children.There were two bamboo plaques on the ground with lotus seeds in them. Several children were reaching for the hill-like lotus pods piled up next to them. The children looked at Chen Mengsheng, a stranger, from time to time.

The old woman said: "Little girl, hurry up and pour a bowl of lotus seed tea for the guests."

Chen Mengsheng bowed to the old woman to thank him, and after a while the oldest girl in Chen Zili brought out a bowl of lotus seed tea and handed it to Chen Mengsheng.

Chen Mengsheng took a sip of lotus seed tea. It was [-]% sweet with [-]% bitterness. After the bitterness, there was a trace of freshness, and the taste was endless.Chen Mengsheng began to help the old man pick up the lotus seeds while chatting about homework.

"Ma'am, what's your surname? How long will you live this year?"

"Hehe, this guest is in charge. My surname is Qin, and I will be sixty-six this year."

"Who is there in the family?"

"There are two sons and three daughters in the family. The daughters are married, the sons have gone to the fields, and the daughter-in-law has gone to pick lotus. Alas, the old man died two months ago."

"How did you die? Did you get sick?" When Chen Mengsheng asked here, he felt a little nervous.Thinking of Ye Shuang'er who never saw anyone alive or dead, it was really confusing.

Aunt Qin looked at Chen Mengsheng and said, "Why is Ke Guan so concerned about my old man's death? There is nothing to say when everyone is dead."

"To tell you the truth, I am a feng shui watcher. I just passed by and saw that you have a strong evil spirit here. Only by knowing how you died can you break the evil spirit."

Aunt Qin's face suffocated when she heard this, and said to the children: "You don't have to work today, little girl, you are a big sister and a good student to bring your younger siblings." Amnesty, happily out of the hospital.

Aunt Qin waited for the children to go far away, then closed the courtyard door and said to Chen Mengsheng: "Master, my old man died strangely. Every night, I think of the tragedy of the old man's death." Aunt Qin opened her eyes angrily when she said this. His hands clenched into fists and his teeth clenched.

"Ms. Qin, tell me slowly what's going on?"

"My old man's surname is Ye and he is the third in his family's family. He is 74 this year. People in the village call him the third master. In the early years, a blind fortune teller came to the village and told my old man that 74 is a hurdle. If you pass it, you can pass it." Live 89. But I never expected..., ah, my miserable old man, tell him not to go to fight, he insisted that it was for atonement..." Aunt Qin burst into tears when she said this, who is better? Can be ruthless.When Mrs. Qin's crying gradually stopped, Chen Mengsheng asked, "Atonement? What happened two months ago?"

Aunt Qin choked up and said: "My old man is a warm-hearted man. He always feels bad that there is no watchman in the village at night, so he ignored our objection and went to watch the night in the village every night. It happened to be the Duanyang Festival two months ago. It was dark after the whole family had dinner. My old man looked at Gengxiang as usual and went out to watch the watch. Afterwards, the whole family also turned off the lights and went to sleep, probably before the third watch. There are people in the village Come and knock on the door, and say that my old man passed out at the door of that idiot Zheng Weimin's house."

"Stupid Zheng Weimin? Why?" Chen Mengsheng asked in confusion.

"Oh, I don't know what evil this child did in his previous life. Even good girls can't match each other, but he can't forget the Shuang'er girl of the Ye family. On the day that Shuang'er girl married into the Lu family in Huzhou Prefecture, Zheng Weimin still danced. Luckily, he was seen in time, and he was still like that even after he was married. People in the village called him a fool. Later Zheng Weimin's parents died, and no one cares about this fool. Carrying a sugar man burden every day to Huzhou Mansion, someone saw that idiot outside Qianyuan's Lu Mansion every day. If that idiot could see Ye Shuang'er outside Qianyuan, he must be singing and returning Zhuangzi, if I don’t see you for a few days, then Ye Shuang’er will definitely come back listless. I don’t want the fields anymore, and I’m on the way to and from Huzhou’s capital every day.”

"Thousands of gold are easy to get, and it's rare to have a lover. Then when you went to Zheng Weimin's place, was the third master already dead?"

Aunt Qin looked around and said in a trembling voice, "I... and my two... sons... when we arrived,... my... my old man...hasn't died yet. He grabbed my hand and said... There is a ghost, he saw Ye Shuang'er...hanging on a tree...with her tongue sticking out...a foot long, and her eyes were full of...blood. She was smiling...walking towards him..."

Chen Mengsheng asked again: "Is there really a person hanging from the tree?"

"No, I've seen it. There was no one in the tree, but my old man said he saw a ghost. When he died, his eyes were protruding, his mouth was crooked, and his ears and nose were full of blood..."

"Boring, boring, boring. Come on, the idiot has set himself on fire, help me. The idiot has set himself on fire..." Chen Mengsheng jumped out of the yard with a vertical ladder after hearing the sound of gongs and Qiangs, and headed straight for Zheng Weimin's house fly away.

When Chen Mengsheng arrived, Zheng Weimin's house was already in flames, and the tangy smell of lamp oil filled the whole street.

Zheng Weimin in the room was yelling: "Shuang'er, I killed you, Weimin will pay for your life..., hahaha. Shuang'er, you have to wait for me..." Zheng Weimin kept shouting, and kept When the house collapsed, Zheng Weimin was engulfed in flames.

Chen Mengsheng saw Zheng Weimin's soul floating up in mid-air, took out the soul-absorbing bottle, cast a soul-absorbing spell, and absorbed Zheng Weimin's soul into the bottle.This time Zheng Weimin's self-immolation made Chen Mengsheng feel a little bit of self-blame. If he hadn't come to him today, perhaps Zheng Weimin would not have died.No matter what, I have to go to the Underworld to find out the matter and give Zheng Weimin and Ye Shuang'er an explanation...

While everyone was trying to save the fire, Chen Mengsheng found a place where there was no one to chant a spell, and went to the Underworld with his yin and yang boots...
