Chapter 42 Suspicion gives birth to dark ghosts
"I'll go and see how Li Yong's injury is," Li Dan raised the supplement in his hand, "Let him replenish him with some supplements."
You must be a smiling tiger in front of others, so that you can only use a knife after others.
Li Dan went out, and then Mrs. Li cleaned up and went to pay tribute to Mrs. Li. As soon as she walked into the yard, she saw two maids secretly hiding to the side.
"Come out." Mrs. Li Er shouted angrily. Since Ji reached into the inner house with a hand, he had never stopped everywhere.
The little maid came over to apologize.
Mrs. Li looked at it, and the small basket contained some incense candles and paper money, and her heart trembled: "What are you doing?"
"It's the third grandma," the little maid couldn't help but say it immediately, "Let us go to the yard to burn... After burning these worships, there will be no ghosts at night."
Mrs. Li Er's heart seemed to be pulled hard by a thread.
Was this paper money burned to Brother Cheng?
Mrs. Li didn't sleep well, and she became even more restless when she heard this. As soon as she stepped into Mrs. Li's house, she heard Ji Yanran talking. She deliberately slowed down.
"My father punished me to copy scriptures. How dare I be negligent? I asked my grandmother for her and would go back."
"You can't wait until the night to copy, I'm afraid... the shadow floats everywhere at night. We often hear strange sounds. The older nannies say that it's a ghost who is complaining. It's a bad thing for you to stop early these two days."
"This string of Buddhist beads is for you. This is worn by Master Shikong. What's the point of protecting me? I have the protection of the Third Master, and there is no one here..."
The more Ji talked, the more he became less and less arrogant.
Mrs. Li took two more steps forward, and the nanny beside Mrs. Li immediately coughed.
The grandparents and grandchildren looked at Mrs. Li together.
Mrs. Li remained silent: "Yanran, did you really see a ghost?"
When Ji Yanran saw Mrs. Li Er, she immediately waved to deny, "No, I... was so dazzled. It must be something like a geese, is it a grandmother?"
Ji Yanran blinked, and the old lady Li immediately said, "Yes, there are no gods and ghosts, they are all scaring themselves."
Obviously the two of them didn't want to tell her the truth, and the more they covered it up, the more suspicious it was.
Mrs. Li's second wife's eyes fell on the wrist of the old lady Li: "The Buddhist beads on my mother's hand look so beautiful."
"That's a worshiper, I can only wear it myself," Ji hurriedly covered it up, "My grandmother and I will ask for another string for my second aunt tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Your second aunt doesn't lack this."
Mrs. Li couldn't help but be angry. The old lady also helped Ji's words, and the whole family was about to hide it from her.
"I still have to copy scriptures," Ji Yanran stood up, "Second Aunt talks with her grandmother!"
Ji ran away like a burning butt.
"Mom," Mrs. Li Er's tears fell, "I heard it all."
Old Mrs. Li asked the servants to step down and said, "You can't believe those words, don't listen. You're just getting better over the years... There can't be any more trouble."
"You are talking about Brother Cheng, right? Brother Cheng is back..."
"Nonsense," said Mrs. Li, "It was Ji's ignorant family. Brother Cheng has been there for so many years and has long been reborn as a human being. Only those with heavy resentment will wander around the world. Although Brother Cheng and those children cannot enter the ancestral grave, I also asked someone to be liberated when they were buried. There are incense offerings every year. Even if there is resentment, they will disperse long ago. It is not Brother Cheng."
Brother Cheng's body was found last. When the other corpses were found, they could still recognize their eyebrows. Only her brother Cheng's clothes were gone and they were so rotten that they didn't dare to look at them. The master repeatedly identified them and said that it was Brother Cheng's right.
Perhaps because he died so miserably, Brother Cheng really felt resentful.
But why didn’t Brother Cheng explain it clearly to her?
"What if it is true," Mrs. Li's second face looked sad, "Don't you just ignore it?"
"How can I ignore it?" Old Mrs. Li sighed for a while, "I have heard before that if her child refuses to leave, he can only move him to the ancestral grave. In this way, he will no longer be a lonely ghost and his resentment will gradually dissipate."
This is what Mrs. Li Er dreamed of: "But the ancestors had rules that would ruin Feng Shui..."
"Rules are rules," said Old Mrs. Li, "You should keep this in your stomach first, don't tell anyone, let's make a decision after seeing the situation."
Mrs. Li's eyes heated up and she nodded immediately.
...
After dark, Ji Yanran was busy outside for a while, then she came in with a smell of fireworks.
The Li family burned paper money everywhere in the yard, which made everyone panic. Everyone said they saw ghosts.
So the people didn't dare to walk around the yard before it was dark.
"Why do you think there is something wrong with Brother Cheng's body?"
Li Yong suddenly spoke, scaring Ji Yanran to death: "San Master, have you never heard of people scaring people so scary?" He said that, and walked a few steps to the table.
Two lamps were lit on the table. The dim light made her feel much more at ease, and her heart slowly relaxed.
Li Yong looked at Ji Yanran. She was obviously thinking of these ideas, but she was frightened by herself.
"Suspiciousness brings dark ghosts," Ji Yanran said, "There have been a story about Brother Cheng these two days, and everyone in the family is rumoring the situation when the burial was at that time. Although some of the matters are deliberately exaggerated, many of them are real."
"Brother Cheng's body is already incomplete, so I wonder why Uncle Second insisted that it was Brother Cheng. First, according to the season and water temperature at that time, the body should not be rotten like that. Second, the people in the clan searched for so long but failed, but Uncle Second found it as soon as he came back."
Li Yong said: "I also find it suspicious. I have sent people to check more than once over the years, but no clues were found about Brother Cheng. If Brother Cheng is still alive, there will be clues."
Ji Yanran sighed: "The guess is useless, so why not wait for the result. If the second uncle has a problem, he will definitely be exposed soon."
After saying that, Ji Yanran got up and went to the side room. No one was staring at them all the time, so they should sleep separately, so they were much more comfortable.
Li Yong ordered Tang Qian: "Although Li Wenqing was careful, he could not find any evidence of him selling vassal goods for the time being, but Li Dan was not sure. He often drank flower wine outside and was generous. Where did the income come from? This man has always been lazy and hates labor. He will never do anything wrong with guarding the Jiang family's gold mountain." As long as evidence is found, not only can he catch the second uncle, the thief, but he can also severely damage the Jiang family.
Tang Qiandao: "I will definitely follow the Fourth Master."
Tang Qian retreated. Li Yong had just taken off his outer robe and was about to rest. He pulled open the door alone and squeezed in.
It's Ji's.
"I can't sleep, I'd better sleep on the couch!"
Without waiting for him to speak, Ji turned around and closed the door, walked a few steps to the soft couch, and then lay on it without hesitation.
