husband from hell

Chapter 41
But I never thought that the so-called powerful ghost raiser would be this little girl!

Then when she came over during the day, did she come here specially to check out the situation here!
"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Ke still looked very relaxed: "It's such a lot of trouble, why don't you come to me for it?"

The little girl smiled slightly, restored her original crisp and sweet voice, and said, "I want it from you, will you give it to me?"

"You're so smart." Cheng Ke's big peach eyes were crooked, but his smiling eyes were evil and dangerous: "But since you're so smart, why are you here?"

"Because I think, since I want your most precious thing, it's better to exchange it for another most precious thing." The little girl smiled innocently: "In this way, I can help you choose, whether you want the fish or the bear's paw."

"But, I just want to have both." Cheng Ke's evil smile and piercing eyes, said with the usual intimidating momentum: "It just so happens that I also have the best of both worlds."

"It doesn't matter." The little girl's bright eyes were also like stars: "I'm not in a hurry. Instead of asking for it, you might as well give it to me."

"Okay." Cheng Ke turned his head sideways, his peach blossom eyes were bright: "I wish you success."

The little girl turned her head to look at me again, and said with a smile, "Sister, we will meet later."

As he said that, he turned around and walked away bouncing around.

Looking at the back of the little girl, I knew in my heart that according to Cheng Ke's personality, it would be impossible to let someone go without making a move. The ease with which the little girl left could only show that the two were evenly matched, and Cheng Ke and The little girls all understand this point. Fighting with each other can only result in a lose-lose situation. Therefore, it is better to say, "Take care of each other, and there will be a period later."

In order to avoid a direct confrontation, the little girl's goal is me, and then use me to exchange Cheng Ke for something she wants.

In other words, the mourning stick that helped the ghost groom find me was hers.

I am the only weakness of the omnipotent Cheng Ke.

Thinking of this, I feel a little sad.

I just wanted to ask how my second aunt was doing, but Cheng Ke seemed to see through his mind, smiled, put a slender index finger on his lips, and pointed back.

I turned my head and saw that the second aunt was lying on the sofa, her eyes were closed tightly, and there was a lot of dead grass and dirt on her body.

"Did the second aunt fall down the grassy slope?" I hurried over, only to see that the second aunt's face was pale, there was a swollen bump on her forehead, and the arms exposed under the short-sleeved shirt were covered with fine scratches. .

I remember that this kind of scratch is a mark made by a prickly plant called purple star grass. Purple star grass hurts people, so when we were young, adults told us not to play near purple star grass. When we saw purple star grass It must be burned, but today I followed Cheng Ke to take a look at the cemetery. The inside of the cemetery is purple, as if it is covered with purple star grass!
"Second aunt is fine, but she may have been disturbed just now and needs a good rest." Cheng Ke said: "Second aunt seems to have some unknown secrets."

When he said this, I remembered the eyes that were hidden behind the door of the wing room on the first day here.

Not only the second aunt, the second uncle, Lulu, even Fatty Hu from the grocery store, in my eyes, almost everyone has a secret!

"The groom took the second aunt to the cemetery!" I turned to look at Cheng Ke: "Is he going to take the second aunt to threaten me so that I won't interfere with their ghost marriage? Isn't this kidnapping!"

"What do you think?" Cheng Ke said leisurely: "It's only natural for a bachelor to want a wife."

"But dark marriage is when two dead people are buried together, so there's no harm to the living!" I then asked, "Where's the groom?"

"Today's time is up, and he can't get out." Cheng Ke calmly looked at the coffin outside, and said very casually: "If you find him again, just kill him."

I felt uneasy for a while: "Cheng Ke, is the groom and the ghost raiser on the same team?"

"Oh?" Cheng Ke Taohua narrowed his eyes: "What do you see?"

"I can see a lot," I said hastily: "A single ghost, how can he have such a great ability, not to mention the audacity to marry a living person, and the ones who help the ceremony are virgins and virgins, and they are also 'busy people'. With the help of the power of the ghost breeder."

Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up, noncommittal, but asked with great interest: "What else?"

When I saw Cheng Ke, I didn't say I was stupid, and I couldn't help but feel a little flustered, so I continued: "There is no benefit, and the little girl who raises ghosts will not help a dead ghost for no reason. I just saw the unreasonable things. Her ultimate goal is still you. So, we came to Tanshen Town. Maybe it is a big trap, just like those ghost-raising masters in Yuning who died tragically. , eyeing us."

Our technique of yin and yang to control ghosts is also a kind of raising ghosts. Didn't Li Minglang mistakenly think that I am a ghost raising master?

"Don't forget, this is Tanshen Town." Cheng Ke patted my head and said thoughtfully, "Everyone here is extraordinary."

"Could it be..." I frowned: "Isn't the groom official with the little girl? Then can he have such abilities? Ah, yes, unless he was also a ghost raiser before he died!"

"Many things are coincidences, and many things are planned by someone." Cheng Ke murmured, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are ghosts, it's the same."

"You are acting like a fool!" I protested, "There are too many strange things in the second uncle's family, and from what happened today, what she wants in the end is..."

Speaking of this, I thought of the word "Longevity" in the mouth of the little girl, and I couldn't help but feel chills all over my body. It seemed that all these strange things that happened to me could be connected with that thing!
Cheng Ke had already seen what I was thinking, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Longevity?"

I nodded quickly: "Changsheng, is it something you told me before that can get everything and destroy everything? What's the use of it?"

"I can only say that that kind of thing can't fall into anyone's hands casually." Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "This thing, no matter how powerful it is, it will bring so much evil."

This... can be imagined!

"Stop thinking about it." Cheng Ke took my hand: "You don't need to worry about those things. If you have something to do, just hide behind me."

"But that little girl, I don't think the visitor is kind." I looked at Cheng Ke and said, "By the way, she sold me that sachet, so she couldn't possibly be afraid of the mugwort leaves in that sachet, but She has never been able to approach me, why?"

"Ghost raising masters have a ghostly aura on their bodies. Even if they are living people, it is not good to enter the Yangzhai with thresholds casually, otherwise, they will be hurt by the upright aura of the Stove Lord in the town house." Cheng Ke seemed to recall something from the past The same, with a little nostalgia: "He needs to be invited by the people in the house before he can come in. At that time, she had already controlled the lights in the house, and you couldn't turn them on even if you wanted to. In this way, she would find An excuse, I want you to pull her in."

No wonder!
"Okay," Cheng Ke rubbed my hair and said, "Go and rest. Tomorrow, let's go and see what the origin of the groom is."

"Look at the bridegroom officer..." I hesitated and asked, "That little girl, do you know her?"

"I don't remember." Cheng Ke's big peach eyes narrowed slightly: "I can only say that it looks familiar."

Familiar... If Cheng Ke had seen her before she was sealed, how could she still be so young?
There are not only many secrets in Cheng Ke, but also so many that it seems difficult to touch.

"Cheng Ke..." I looked at him: "Will I cause you a lot of trouble?"

Cheng Ke smiled all of a sudden: "Obviously, I caused you trouble."

"That's true..." I sighed: "I always feel that the development of things is too different from what I expected."

"You are not a fortune teller, you can predict the future." Cheng Ke said with a smile: "Everything that will happen in the future is familiar in advance, and it will be so boring to live in those days."

"However, the current thrill is also..." I sighed: "I feel like I'm turning somersaults on the edge of the cliff every day."

"I told you," Cheng Ke's long eyelashes flickered, "it's me."

My heart trembled, is this a promise, or...

"Hmm..." Second Aunt suddenly groaned, and I quickly turned my head to the side, only to see Second Aunt sitting up with her hands on her forehead, her eyes narrowed, her face full of confusion: "Lu Qiao? This is... What's wrong?"

"Second Aunt, don't move yet." I went to bring Second Aunt a glass of water: "How do you feel now?"

"My head hurts..." Second Aunt frowned: "On and off, I don't really remember what happened before."

Upon hearing this, I suddenly felt that my second aunt was much more normal than when I first came here, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Second aunt, what do you remember?"

"I still remember..." Second Aunt was about to say something, when suddenly a chill shivered all over her body, and her pupils shrank suddenly, as if remembering something that horrified her!

"Second aunt?" I tentatively asked, "Are you okay?"

The second aunt's hands were firmly clasped on my wrists, as if she was afraid that I would leave, she couldn't stop trembling, and she denied it: "No... I don't think of anything..."

It is clearly lying!But looking at the second aunt's appearance, even if she was very flustered, she was indeed a different person from the previous insane appearance. I hurriedly said to comfort: "Don't worry, if you can't remember it, don't think about it. Rest, rest well, and talk about it tomorrow."

"Where's your second uncle?" The second aunt's thin chest heaved violently, and she couldn't hide her fear: "Where did he go?"

I quickly replied: "Second Uncle took Lulu to the hospital for reexamination, maybe he will come back tomorrow, don't worry."

"Lulu..." Speaking of Lulu, the second aunt's eyes showed a kind of despair as if she was in the mud: "She's back...she's still back..."

came back?
"Second Aunt, calm down." I touched Second Aunt's forehead and felt it was hot: "You have to test your temperature and take some antipyretics."

The second aunt took a deep breath, grabbed my hand, but did not let go: "Lu Qiao, you, can you accompany me today?"

She obviously needs someone to take care of her now, so I said to Cheng Ke: "I'll sleep with my second aunt today, she needs someone to accompany her now."

Cheng Ke nodded and said, "Take the second aunt to rest, and you go to bed early too. Remember, everything depends on me."

I nodded, followed the second aunt's guidance, and went to the second aunt's room.

That room is the master bedroom, which is big and spacious, but maybe there are too many things at home these days, so I didn't bother to clean it, and there was a little dust on the table.

I helped my second aunt try the thermometer, and she really had a fever. After taking the antipyretics, I helped her lie on the bed, and she looked at me gratefully: "I'm really sorry, but you have to come to take care of me after so much trouble. I."

I replied: "It's okay, I can help you with something, I'm too happy!"

I helped my second aunt cover the quilt. I was afraid that my second aunt would not be able to blow the wind, so I lay on the side by the window. In midsummer, there is no air conditioner, so the window can only be opened. There is a slight breeze outside, and I can barely see A few stars, it's quite pleasant.

The second aunt seemed to be unable to sleep, and was always tossing and turning. I chatted with the second aunt for a few gossips, and comforted me: "Your body is important, don't think too much now."

The second aunt hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "Lu Qiao, you...do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

I froze for a moment: "This..."

Looking at the eager eyes of the second aunt, I nodded: "I believe it."

"That's great..." The second aunt seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, lowered her voice, and said, "I... I just want to tell you what I said, Lulu seems to be no longer a human being!"

"What?" Of course I believe that there are ghosts in the world, because of this fate with Cheng Ke, I got such eyes, I can't remember how many times I saw them!
However, Lulu still lived and ate with me during the day, and went to the grocery store to talk to that fat man. Most importantly, I held Lulu's hand, and it was indeed warm, and the bottom of her feet was indeed warm. There are shadows.

But if there is something wrong with Lulu, I have already noticed it, but I also wondered if she encountered some difficulties, but I never thought that she could be human!
"It's true!" The second aunt held my hand, her eyes were full of urgency: "Lulu, she is really dead!"

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at the second aunt fixedly. The second aunt's expression was very serious. Seeing that look, I hoped that I could trust her.

I hurriedly asked: "Second aunt, tell me why you think Lulu is dead..."

"After she drank the pesticide, she was already dead!" The second aunt said with certainty: "It's really dead, how can a dead person come back to life!"

Of course I knew that Lulu had taken pesticides and her life was in danger, but I still asked cautiously: "Are you sure? After all, you are not a doctor. If something goes wrong, it is..."

"Impossible!" said the second aunt, "I touched her neck and her chest, she was lifeless, and they were all motionless. I opened my eyelids, and even my eyes opened!"

I am a thriller, I love detective novels, of course I know that "dilated pupils" is one of the manifestations of brain death, an important feature of medically judging death!
"You think, she is dead, so dead, how could she come back to life!" The second aunt kept nagging: "She is not human... But your second uncle didn't believe me, he said I was crazy... ...he said I was crazy..."

I hurriedly comforted my second aunt, said good things, and expressed my trust in her. Only then did her emotions calm down, and she fell asleep again because she was too tired.

I lay back on my pillow, and I couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. How much is true and how much is not what my second aunt said?
After a while, the second aunt whispered in sleep again: "I am sorry for you...I am sorry for you..."

As soon as I heard it, I immediately remembered what Brother Hu said. Brother Hu seemed to have said, "It has something to do with your second aunt..."

Alas, why did such confusing things happen around me?
Just when I was about to close my eyes, I suddenly heard that knocking sound!
It was that time, when I was taking a shower, the person who told me not to go out beat it!
Who is this person?

I secretly opened my eyes, only to see a vague figure lying on the window sill, beating on the anti-theft window!
It was such a shock that I almost screamed when the hoarse voice said, "Shut shut shut shut shut shut..."

I froze, close?
Do you mean curtains?I raised my hand, and with a "swipe", I closed the curtains, and there was no sound outside.

I listened with trepidation, only to feel that after a while, there was a faint "hiss..." sound outside, as if someone was sniffing something vigorously with their nose!
Knowing that Cheng Ke is also in this house, nothing will happen to me, but this sleep is still spent in fear.

When I woke up again, there was no one around me, so I sat up quickly, went out with my head disheveled, and when I opened the door, I bumped into Cheng Ke who was about to come in.

Cheng Ke looked at my disheveled hair and smiled slightly: "You slept well."

I stroked my hair and asked, "Where is Second Aunt?"

Cheng Ke replied: "I said I had something to do, so I left in a hurry, not long after I left."

"So that's how it is..." I pursed my lips and said, "Second Aunt has also suffered a lot these days."

"I helped find her lost soul." Cheng Ke smiled slightly and said, "So don't worry, the fever yesterday was also caused by the invasion of yin qi. After resting, you will be fine when the yang qi returns."

I nodded and said, "Thank you."

Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up: "You are being polite. Let's go."

"Eh?" I hurriedly asked, "Why go?"

"Take you to see where the brother-in-law from hell came from." Cheng Ke raised his hand, and I saw a thin red rope in his hand.

"this is……"

"This is the missing rope." Cheng Ke said: "Follow the vines and find out where that brother-in-law lives."

"But at home, there seems to be no one watching the house." I hesitated: "What if someone really comes?"

"You don't have to worry." Cheng Ke turned his eyes to the wing room: "Here, there is a gatekeeper."

I remembered those eyes, and wanted to ask, Cheng Ke had already taken my hand and left.

"Hey, I haven't combed my hair yet!"

"So, I like it too." Cheng Ke's big peach eyes curved up: "Who else can you show it to except me?"

In those eyes, I can always be fully reflected.

My heart jumped up violently, and I kept telling myself that it was a sugar-coated cannonball, so I turned my head away.

Along the red string, Cheng Ke put away the red string like a ball of wool, but he collected a lot, and the ball of thread in his hand was not too big, so I asked curiously: "What is the material of this thing?" of?"

"You want to know?" Cheng Ke showed a mischievous smile: "Then I'll tell you, it's made from the umbilical cord of a newborn, soaked in the blood of a virgin's sunflower, and added the yellow big gecko. .”

Umbilical cords, periods and giant geckos?I felt a little uncomfortable in my throat: "It's really heavy..."

Cheng Ke said nonchalantly, "It's just that it's easy to use. Use the most yin energy to find the most yin things, and it will never work."

With that said, we have arrived at the cemetery full of purple star grass.

The vegetation in the cemetery grows lush and lush, and one can imagine what nourished it.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Ke didn't go in, but squatted down: "Come up."

"Eh?" I was a little dazed, "What's wrong..."

Cheng Ke didn't wait for my answer, he stretched out his arms and put me on his back: "I don't like this kind of grass."

Because of this kind of grass, it pricks people hard.

Cheng Ke's back was very stable, and I couldn't help laughing when I thought of the days when I pretended to be lame.

Cheng Ke supported my thigh with one hand, and continued to hold the rope with the other. After a while, he walked out of the large cemetery, turned around an angle, and continued walking towards the distance.

I suddenly remembered that the man was also buried alone, he was a kind of "child who died young", so he must also be in a desolate solitary grave.

Finally, under a big willow tree, I saw a small grave.

The top of the small tomb was bare and there was nothing.

And the red line is gone here.

I jumped off Cheng Ke's back and looked at the grave, only to see that the grave was neither new nor old, and it was covered with grass. It didn't look like people would come to pay respects often.

Besides, it is true that no monument is erected for this kind of solitary grave, so until now we don't even know the name of the groom.Cheng Ke knelt down, picked up the soil on the mound, twisted it between his slender fingers, and walked around the mound a few times, watching his movements, as if he was measuring the soil with his steps. what.

Then, he broke off a few branches from the tree next to him, and placed each branch around the grave with a certain gap in the shape of a five-petaled plum blossom. The thread came, trying to wrap it around the branch and make it look like a fence.

I looked at Cheng Ke wonderingly: "Are you maintaining and beautifying the grave?"

Before Cheng Ke had time to answer, an old voice suddenly sounded behind us: "This is the technique of trapping souls. I want the child in this grave to be sealed and unable to come out!"

I was taken aback, and turned around, only to see a white-haired old lady standing quietly behind us, her eyes fixed on the red thread in Cheng Ke's hand: "Damage is not damage!" Ah you?"

The old lady was in her seventies and was very energetic. She was dressed in linen Chinese-style short-sleeved trousers with a stand-up collar, and a pair of black cloth shoes.

I was a little embarrassed at the time, but Cheng Ke raised his face and smiled slightly: "Old man, did you grow up drinking sea water? You really care a lot."

"This matter is nosy to you, right?" The old lady retorted: "Did you eat too much salt, salty?"

I also saw that this old lady was no ordinary person, so I hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't be angry, he is not..."

"Little girl, I can't see that you are young enough to raise such a ghost." The old lady fixed her eyes on me and said coldly, "Are you from Biluomen?"

"Biluomen?" I was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er: "What is Biluomen?"

"Stop pretending, this body isn't yours, is it?" The old lady poked me with her thin fingers honestly: "No wonder you can do such a shameful thing, but you are not afraid of retribution."

"I really don't know what you mean by Biluomen." I could tell that the old lady was not an ordinary person, so she hurriedly said, "I'm visiting relatives, and Yang Yunchang is my grandfather. It's definitely not someone of unknown origin."

"Yang Yunchang?" The old lady was stunned for a moment: "You, are you Lu Qiao?"

I was also stunned: "How do you know me?"
