Song Yi

Chapter 199
All of a sudden, Lin Qingdai felt that her feet were stepping on the ground, and she had nowhere to rely on her strength, so she fell rapidly!
Lin Qingdai was fearless in the face of danger, and stabbed the short blade towards the nearby cliff, trying to stop her body, but unexpectedly the surrounding cliffs were so hard that the short blade could not penetrate.The body fell more and more quickly, and in desperation, he used his strength in his arms and stabbed out with all his strength, and there was a light click, and the short blade just pierced into the gap in the stone wall, but was broken by the huge force of the fall, leaving only one in his hand. Hilt!
Fortunately, the huge force of the body's fall also offset most of it, and then, with a bang, Lin Qingdai fell to the ground of the cave!
The moment Lin Qingdai touched the ground, she took advantage of the momentum and rolled, taking off part of the force of her fall. With a bang on her back, she hit the cave wall with pain, and her legs were also in severe pain as if they were broken.

She didn't bother to check her injuries, because she didn't know what danger would be in the deep hole of the fall, but the only short blade on her body was broken, and the blade was stuck in the stone wall halfway up, and there were several hidden weapons on her body, locusts Stone, touch it in your hand, and listen quietly to the movement around you.

It was quiet in the dark, with the occasional chirping of insects.

Above the head, there is only a piece of light the size of a copper coin at the entrance of the hole, but it is gray.It can be seen that the hole is very deep.

Those wolves were gone, and so were the headless men in black.Not even a wolf howl.

Lin Qingdai felt severe pain in her right hand and two feet, her heart tightened, and she moved her right hand and ankle with great pain, and they were still able to move!I stretched out my hand to feel it again, but found no trauma or fracture, and felt a bit more at ease, it seemed that it was just a muscle contusion, and I couldn't use my strength for a while.

She supported the wall and got up slowly, and groped for the place where she fell. The surrounding walls were piled up with smooth mossy ashlars, round in shape, and there was no other exit. The hard soil under her feet, it seemed, It's like a dry well.

Lin Qingdai sat down again and wiped her swollen ankle and wrist, hoping to find a way to climb out of the dry well when her right hand and feet got better and it was dawn and she could see the cracks in the stone wall clearly.

But for some reason, she soon felt dizzy, and tried hard to wake herself up, but she still tilted her head and fell asleep.

------------------

Wuweitang, the sky is bright.

Du Wenhao couldn't wait any longer and decided to pay a visit.He arranged for Yan Miaoshou and Hantou to stay behind, asked Shapang and Wu Cong to prepare an ox cart, and took Pang Yuqin, Xue Feier and Yingzi to Qiao Yusheng's residence in an ox cart.

At this time, it was already daylight.

The house was very dilapidated, the door was closed tightly, Du Wenhao motioned for the silly fat to knock on the door.Silly Pang went up the steps, picked up the brass ring on the gate, and slammed on the door.After a while, the door finally opened, and an old woman with a stooped back poked her head out from the crack of the door, with a look of old eyesight, she took a look at Silly Pang: "Who are you looking for?"

Du Wenhao stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Old man, may I ask if this is Qiao's Mansion?"

"Yes, you are...?"

Wu Cong stepped forward and said, "We are from Wuweitang Pharmacy. This is our young master, the genius doctor Du Wenhao. He has treated your young master Qiao Yusheng."

The old woman glanced at Du Wenhao blankly: "Are you looking for our Young Master Qiao?"

"Yes."

"Oh! Don't you know? Our young master... died a few years ago!"

Wu Cong's smile froze, and he looked back at Du Wenhao.

I don't know if he had already guessed the result, or he didn't care about the result at all, Du Wenhao still looked calm, but the faces of the others turned pale.

Du Wenhao strolled up the steps, and at the moment when the old woman was about to close the door, he put his foot against the door: "Old man, can you inform us that we want to see you, Mr. Qiao, and we have something important to discuss, please. !"

The old woman shook her head and said, "This house has been abandoned for many years. My old lady is the only one in the whole house. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Du Wenhao said: "You are the only one, what about the master's family?"

"Let's go! I moved away many years ago. The house was haunted by ghosts. The young master and several servants were frightened to death. The master and old lady moved the house away. I wanted to sell the house, but, despite the It’s cheap, but who would buy a haunted house? So it’s left unused like this.”

Du Wenhao thought for a while, and said: "Since that's the case, I'm interested in buying this house, but I want to take a look at the house first, okay?"

The old woman took another look at him, and then slowly opened the door: "Young man, I didn't scare you, this house is really haunted."

"Really? I want to see what a ghost looks like." Du Wenhao waved his hand and led everyone into the house.

The house is very big, several times bigger than Du Wenhao and his current house. There is a special back garden and a small lake. However, the house has obviously been deserted for many years, and the green bricks on the ground are full of miscellaneous things. The green grass is already tall and old.The surface of the small lake is also covered with dead branches, the paint on the doors and windows has peeled off, and the window paper is fluttering in the wind.

They quickly went around the entire house, and apart from the old woman's room, there was really no trace of people living there.
Yingzi couldn't hold back and shouted loudly: "Madam—! Madam, where are you—!"

Xue Fei'er, Pang Yuqin, Wu Cong, and Sha Pang also called out from all around: "The treasurer—!"

The old woman asked in surprise, "Hello? What are you doing?"

Du Wenhao said: "It's okay, they know some spells, which can increase Yang Qi and scare away those dirty things in the dark."

"Really?" The old woman was dubious, but it didn't matter what they called it, so it was up to them.

While they were calling and searching, Du Wenhao came to a rockery in the house, stood there looking up, thinking, since no one has lived here for several years, what about Qiao Yusheng?Where exactly do you live?Where did Lin Qingdai go?
After searching for an hour, I searched all the corners of the room, returned to Du Wenhao's place on the rockery, and reported that there was no trace of Lin Qingdai.

Yingzi cried again.

The old woman said: "Do you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, I will ask someone to inform the owner to discuss it with you."

Du Wenhao was depressed and asked casually, "How much money?"

"Our master said that the bid is 1000 taels."

1000 taels is 10 yuan. Buying such a large house for 10 yuan is really worth a thousand dollars.If it is not haunted, this mansion is worth at least 5 taels of silver.Du Wenhao sold 10 taels of silver for a single prescription last time, and with the money earned from selling equipment and medicines, he is considered a small rich man. 1000 taels is not a big number to him, so he immediately decided to buy the house. Then investigate carefully, looking for traces of Lin Qingdai.

The other party's bid was already so low that Du Wenhao didn't even bother to pay back the price, and said, "Okay! It's only 1000 taels, and I'll buy it. Ask your master to bring the house deed and land deed, and find Li Zhengbao to come to my Wuweitang to sign the contract. Immediately Come on! I'm waiting at the pharmacy. By the way, first give me the key to the gate, and I want to count the assets of the house."

The old woman never thought that Du Wenhao would buy this ghost house, she was overjoyed when she heard that, anyway, no one would come into this ghost house with the door open, it doesn’t matter if the key is handed over or not, so she hurriedly handed over the key to Du Wenhao, hurriedly I ran to report.

Du Wenhao took Pang Yuqin and others to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion first, found his father-in-law Pang Jinghui, and told the story before and after.Ask Pang Jinghui to send someone to investigate the people around the house to see if Lin Qingdai can be found.

Pang Jinghui is the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, in charge of criminal investigation, and immediately dispatched police to investigate and visit the people outside the house.

Du Wenhao returned to the pharmacy, and after a while, the owner of the house came with the land deed, house deed, Li Zheng and the guarantor.Du Wenhao paid the contract immediately and bought the house.He asked Master Qiao casually, and learned that his son Qiao Yusheng died a few years ago, and he died of fright.

After the house was bought, the police in charge of the peripheral investigation came to report that they found no clues of Lin Qingdai's entry or exit.Du Wenhao took Pang Yuqin and others together with the police and Min Zhuang sent by Pang Jinghui to conduct a carpet-like search of the house again.

Finally, an embroidered shoe was found in the tall grass in the back garden. After Yingzi identified it, she immediately confirmed that it was Lin Qingdai's shoe!

The sides of the shoes were covered with mud, indicating that Lin Qingdai had indeed been here last night.

After searching carefully, I found that some branches and bushes had traces of cutting with weapons!

This made everyone even more nervous.But until the sun went down, no clues were found.

Seeing that it was getting dark, and there were rumors that the house was haunted by ghosts, the police and the villagers were unwilling to continue to investigate, so Du Wenhao had no choice but to order the search to stop, and took Pang Yuqin and others back to the pharmacy.

Back at the pharmacy, the family sat in the living room, all looking eagerly at Du Wenhao.Eiko has been crying in a low voice.

At this moment, Wu Cong ran in with a greeting card in his hand to report: "Sir, Mr. Pan Guojin, the judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, is here to visit!"

Pan Guojin?Du Wenhao immediately remembered the old man with a smug smile on his face and the group comparison test between the two without an end.He frowned and said, "Why is he here? No see!" At this time, I really don't have the mood to take care of such things.

Pang Yuqin said: "Sister Qing, let's meet first. Maybe there is something important, we can't delay everything because of Sister Qingdai's affairs, as you said, Sister Qingdai is very skilled in martial arts, no one can do anything to her. Maybe There is really something urgent to deal with, and it is too late to tell us. Don't be too anxious."

Du Wenhao nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let him come in."

Pang Yuqin and others avoided entering the inner house.

After a while, Wu Cong led Pan Guojin in, and Pan Guojin smiled and cupped his hands as soon as he entered the door: "Mr. Du, congratulations?"

Du Wenhao was furious, thinking that my sister Qingdai was gone, and you said congratulations, I couldn't help but turn my face, and then thought, that's not what people are talking about, and few people know about it, He didn't even know it, so he raised his hand in return, and said lightly: "Why is Du so happy?"

Seeing that Du Wenhao didn't mention letting him sit, Pan Guojin was a little embarrassed, took out a golden card from his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands: "Mr. Du will know it after reading it."

Du Wenhao glanced at him, reached out to take it, and tore off the seal with a snort, took out the golden card inside, opened it, and found it was a letter of appointment from the Imperial Medical Bureau, appointing himself as a medical professor of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
