Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 108 "The Fourth Day" Meat Puppet

This song is like the chirping of a spiritual bird, so beautiful, so beautiful and moving.

Just hearing this sentence will dispel the fear in your heart.

The two of them looked from a distance and saw a graceful woman fetching water by an ancient well in the auxiliary house.

Under the stars and moon, the smoke and smoke from her body actually dissipated some of the gloominess of the haunted house.

Raising her hand, her jade arms were bathed in a layer of twilight, and the starlight fell on her face, and the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town was ready to come out.

Such a gentle woman.

A pair of amber eyes, as beautiful as autumn water, can really kill people and set fire to their hearts.

After carefully arriving in the yard, the woman also noticed the two of them, with a trace of astonishment appearing on her pretty face.

"You are..."

Zhao Yi scratched his head and said:

"Are you the Second Madam Su Mei of the Royal Palace?"

"We are people from outside the palace. We have to come here for some special reasons."

Su Mei's eyes flickered slightly. She asked the two of them to sit down, then went inside the room and brought them warm tea.

"It turned out to be a guest from outside the house... It's really rude."

"The house is in decline and there is nothing to entertain you. I will fry some glutinous rice for you two."

She pulled up her hair at the temples, her eyes as gentle as water.

Zhao Yi did not refuse, and Su Mei quickly served two bowls of hot and fragrant glutinous rice to the two of them.

And she herself cooked some millet porridge.

The palace used to have a rule that if a guest came, he would eat some with him.

It would be impolite to just watch while the guests eat.

"Ma'am, why don't you eat glutinous rice?"

Zhao Yi asked casually.

Su Mei said softly:

"I am old and have a bad stomach. I cannot eat glutinous rice."

Zhao Yi looked at Su Mei.

She is very young, with no trace of age on her face.

Skin is firm and fair.

A lively young woman in her twenties.

But she was heavily clothed.

The haunted house is not cold.

The three of them immersed themselves in eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After Zhao Yi finished eating the glutinous rice, he asked:

"Second Madam, I would like to ask... Has the First Madam passed many forty-year-old birthdays?"

Su Mei's pupils suddenly shrank.

She was very surprised:

"How do you know?"

Zhao Yi took out Che Lin's memo and explained:

"Director Che Lin told us."

Su Mei looked at the memo, and the familiar handwriting on it made her eyes reveal a trace of sadness.

That honest face, that old but still strong figure...

The heart that is always enthusiastic about the mansion...

Now they are all just cold ink stains on paper.

"well……"

She sighed quietly.

"Sister, she...has indeed passed many fortieth birthdays."

Zhao Yi asked:

"Why?"

Su Mei nodded, bit her red lips tightly, closed her eyes and said:

"I'm sorry...I can't say."

Luo Qili asked in a different way:

"Then...was Madam good to you during her lifetime?"

Su Mei nodded.

"My sister was very good to me during her lifetime..."

She paused mid-sentence.

Got... tricked!

Luo Qili's eyes shone:

"So... the eldest lady is 'dead' now?"

Su Mei smiled bitterly and said:

"I'm sorry, I really can't say..."

"You guys should leave quickly. The haunted house is very unsafe, and...if you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

Grandma Paperman also said this.

Zhao Yi replied:

"Madam, we can't get out, so we want to investigate the truth about this haunted house and find a way to leave here."

"Otherwise... we will die here."

Su Mei's hand that put away the bowl shook unconsciously.

After standing there for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said:

"I'm sorry...I can't help you."

She was about to walk into the house. Luo Qili wanted to catch up, but Zhao Yi held her back.

Seeing that Su Mei was about to close the door, Zhao Yi said:

"Madam loves me very much, right?"

Su Mei stopped, but did not turn around.

After being silent for a long time, she sighed quietly.

"The master rescued me from the brothel and the fireworks, and always doted on me in every possible way. I feel grateful for my kindness, so naturally I also have admiration for me..."

"It's a pity that time was short and I still couldn't leave an heir for me..."

She stood in the room, glanced at the two of them, frowned, and stopped talking.

But finally he closed the door gently.

Luo Qili whispered:

"Why don't you let me catch up and ask?"

"This woman obviously knows something..."

"If it doesn't work, we can still treat her..."

Zhao Yi:

"If you dare threaten her... you will die miserably."

"Faced with a living person who can live and show off in a haunted house, what do you think you have a chance of winning?"

Luo Qili choked, the look in her eyes changed, and when she looked at the room in the auxiliary house, solemnity and fear appeared in her eyes.

This woman is so gentle and harmless to humans and animals, she almost got killed!

After dealing with ghosts for a long time, she subconsciously regarded people as safe NPCs!

If Zhao Yi hadn't grabbed her just now...

"The Second Madam can't ask anything else here. Shall we go to the First Madam?"

Zhao Yi heard this and said:

"You just went to the west side, did you find any useful information?"

After being asked, Luo Qili suddenly remembered and hurriedly took out a cloth bag from her body.

"I found a special book in a room dedicated to gods on the west side, which records a strange puppet technique."

"Just now in the hall, there were many people and eyes, so I didn't take it out."

She took out the cloth bag and put a dusty book inside on the table. Zhao Yi opened it and read it quickly.

Ten lines at a glance.

Read, understand, digest.

A few minutes later, he finished reading a book of nearly a thousand pages.

"You...finished it?"

Luo Qili had not dared to disturb Zhao Yi until now.

Although she didn't believe that Zhao Yi could finish reading this book in such a short time.

Hundreds or thousands of words on a page, he just scanned it, what could he remember?

Zhao Yi closed his eyes.

"Meat puppet...761 pages."

He spoke.

Luo Qili turned the book to page 761, and her pupils trembled!

"Damn!"

She couldn't help but curse.

On page 761 of this book, there is a record of the smelting method of meat puppets!

"Are you a ghost?"

Zhao Yi blinked and said:

"Meat puppets - made from corpses that have just died and have not decayed, can partially carry the owner's memories and joys, anger, sorrows and joys before death, but the memory is limited, and the emotions are very unstable, and it is easily stimulated by the outside world."

"Its memory will slowly melt over time, and it is irritable and jealous."

"Generally speaking, it is best not to have too much difference between its life and the corpse before death."

"When the memory of the meat puppet disappears completely, it will retain the emotions before the memory disappears, but it will no longer have its own thinking ability..."
