Rolling Red Dust(2)

"Miss?" This Ah Piao stood far away and shouted to Lin Yutong in surprise.

Um?

To be honest, if the Fourth Master hadn't been supporting him from behind, Lin Yutong would have really wanted to take two steps back. To be honest, Ah Piao is really not a beautiful creature. Her face is stiff, her face is blue, her lips are black and purple, and her eyes are sunken.

, the image presented seems to exist and not exist, and is quite erratic.

Of course, this person doesn't seem to have any ill intentions.

"You are..." If you can call yourself Miss, you are probably someone who knows the original person.

Lin Yutong had asked the fourth master before. In the vague memory of the original person, she was picked up by her husband, but in the fourth master's impression, he had never left the house at all. There is a contradiction in this. Anyway, it is weird.

There are so many things going on, and those weird logics cannot be understood by human thinking. As long as it does not hinder them, they have no idea of ​​pursuing the matter for the time being. Who knows, how could A Piao suddenly come to recognize her.

Seeing that Lin Yutong didn't recognize her, Ah Piao floated two meters this way and quickly retreated: "Miss, don't you recognize Qiu Ye?"

Autumn leaves?

Lin Yutong didn't want to lie... No, he was a liar, but even if it was the original person, the answer he gave now was the same: "I don't remember!"

Qiuye's figure began to sway again, followed by a whimpering cry. To be honest, this kind of crying was really scary. If this continues, it will be impossible to live in the house that was finally found.

It will scare the neighbors. She quickly waved her hands and changed the topic: "...I am so confused in my mind that I can't remember anything... Since you know me, tell me who I am and what you are doing."

Who is mine again..."

Qiuye choked with sobs: "Miss, you are Qiuye's lady. Miss, you are the third lady of Prince Xiu's Mansion, don't you remember?"

Show Prince's Mansion?

"Why am I not in the palace?" Lin Yutong asked first.

"The prince was convicted, and everyone in the palace was beheaded. Only the lady was not in Kyoto. When the imperial envoy came, the servant and the lady hid in the dry well in the garden... Later... Later, the lady suddenly disappeared in the well. I was

I waited in the well for seven days, but I couldn’t wait for the lady to come back, so I starved to death..." As he said this, he sobbed and cried again, and the sound made Lin Yutong go crazy.

Don't cry, I really can't stand this sound.

She hurriedly asked: "Then how did you find this place?"

"Looking for?" Qiuye shook his head: "...At night, you can see a dazzling place. It's like a treasure was born. I can't help but want to come here... It's a pity that no one dares to get close to this place.

More... I didn't dare to peek at the treasure, I just looked at it curiously, but it helped me see your face clearly, you are my young lady... That's why I dared to come forward..."

The fourth master squeezed Lin Yutong's hand and shook his head gently. Lin Yutong suddenly realized. If the fourth master hadn't reminded her, she would have almost believed it.

But how much can you believe what this ghost says?

What’s the word? It’s called nonsense!

Maybe what she said is true, maybe it's false. Who knows?

What can Lin Yutong say? "Since you have found us, it means that our fate has not been broken. Since you are still in the dry well, so be it. I will find a way to find your bones and bury you properly."

Is this good?"

What she said really wasn't trying to coax the ghost. No matter why she came, she had to go and have a look. At least don't just run home all the time. This ghost is crying and howling, and if it keeps doing this, people in the alley will go crazy.

Qiuye looked very docile and fell down happily.

As for Lin Yutong, her heart trembles when she thinks of what she said, 'At night, you can see a dazzling place.' If Qiuye can't help but want to get closer to this place, what about the other drifters?

The fourth master said: "The lies are scary! Do you believe her? Let's go and have a look tomorrow."

Even though what the Fourth Master said was very reasonable, Lin Yutong also slept very uneasily all night, and she never moved from her arms. The Fourth Master looked at her and smiled: "You are not afraid of anything, either heaven or earth, huh?"

That's not what they said.

Fourth Master touched her hair, as if to say that she would not be surprised if he touched her hair: "I used to say that some people are scarier than ghosts. You are not afraid of evil people, so why are you afraid of ghosts?"

This doesn't seem right either.

Forget it, right? Lin Yutong felt that he had to go and take a look. He had to find out one thing. At night, he was like a lighthouse, particularly eye-catching.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the two of them set off.

It’s easy to find out where exactly Prince Xiu’s Mansion is. It’s just outside Qingbo Gate, but people say: “Don’t go there…it’s haunted…”

We believe this! Really! We believe it very much.

After taking a boat, you have to spend a hundred dollars to get to Qingbo Gate. On the way, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master asked the boatman about the Xiuwang Palace. In fact, you don’t need to ask much about this kind of thing, you can guess that the palace has been raided.

There is no other possibility than treason among the whole family.

This is roughly what the boatman said: "...the imperial court sealed the courtyard and initially said it would sell it. Unfortunately, before it was sold, I heard it was haunted. Many people who went in to look for treasures were frightened and sick when they came out.

Now, no one will dare to go in..."

It really didn't look like anyone was going in.

The bright red door of the mansion has long been mottled, and the seal attached to the door has blown away. Only the paste that was used to apply the seal and the paper stained on the paste are still stuck to the door.

The grass grew as high as half a person, and the branches of the trees grew in random directions. It was inaccessible from the main entrance, but when you walked around, the wall was basically gone. I wonder if someone knocked off the turns on the wall and took them to their own home.

I went there, but it looked like ruins and desolate.

Stepping over the remaining wall, you will see an abandoned house.

The doors and windows inside were all broken, everything that could be stolen had been stolen, and there was almost nothing inside. The two of them had no interest in entering the house, and only went deeper along the verandah. According to Qiuye, she

In the dry well in the back garden.

In fact, this house is well built. There are bamboos planted on both sides of the verandah. If someone takes care of it, there will be a cool breeze in the summer. Now, the bamboos that have not been taken care of have stretched out into the verandah.

, if you are not careful, you will scratch someone.

Just as he was about to scratch someone, he felt the bamboos swaying wildly, as if a strong wind was blowing... But Lin Yutong knew that the wind was wrong. The bamboos on both sides were not blowing towards the verandah.

Lin Yutong was about to pull the Fourth Master away, but was grabbed by the Fourth Master: "Look..."

Um?

Just now, when the bamboo was motionless, they were scratched by the bamboo. But now the bamboos on both sides were swinging crazily in this direction, but not a single bamboo or branch could hurt them.

Lin Yutong was determined, and followed the fourth master's footsteps through the crazy swinging bamboo strips until he reached the back garden, where the wind stopped.

The back garden, rockery and waterfalls are still the same, but the flowers that should have been delicate now grow and bloom randomly like wild flowers.

After searching for a long time, I found a small well in the corner of the back garden. How big was the wellhead? Lin Yutong felt that it would be difficult for a five-year-old child to fall in. With such a wellhead, two teenage girls could go down.

.

If there was no second well, what Qiuye said was indeed nonsense.

So, they searched again and confirmed that there was no second well. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master looked at each other, and it seemed that they were lured here on purpose.

Lin Yutong deliberately said: "It seems that the lies are really unbelievable, so let's go back."

The fourth master pulled her, and the two of them were about to leave, when someone floated out of the small well: "Miss... Miss... Qiuye is indeed in the well... It's just that the well has been tampered with..."

Lin Yutong didn't believe a word of what she said.

During the day, Qiu Ye's figure was even more ethereal, with half of his body hidden in the well, still pretending to block the sun.

Lin Yutong sneered: "You saw it, you can't hurt me."

Qiuye sighed softly: "You are not my lady... What kind of monster are you? Where has my lady gone?"

Lin Yutong was stunned, so it turned out that she thought she had done something to the original owner, so that's why she was like this. She said softly: "I don't know, if I say I don't know, I just don't know. It's just that I visited a Taoist monk before, and she said that I was raped by someone.

I was trapped in one soul and two souls. I have been living in a haze these years. Later, the eminent monk helped me do the Dharma, but I became sober, but I also forgot all the past..."

Qiuye looked at Lin Yutong seriously: "A soul and two souls were taken away?" She looked thoughtful: "Have you become stupid, ignorant of people's affairs, and forgetting the past..."

"Yes!" Lin Yutong looked at her: "What do you know?"

Qiuye slowly closed her eyes: "Everyone in Prince Xiu's palace died unjustly." As she said that, she knelt down, and her whole body floated at the mouth of the well: "Miss, it was all Qiuye's fault.

You, Qiuye hurt you. You are the third wife of the Lin family. The Lin family has been officials for generations and has a scholarly family. You have parents and brothers and sisters... The young lady is a wonderful person, but marriage is a problem.

It's quite difficult. I occasionally listened to the conversation between the master and his wife, and I realized that the young lady is a woman, but her birth date is Chunyang. Those families who are not willing to get married are afraid that the young master in the family will not be able to control your fate, the young lady. The slave girl is

The young lady was worried, so she... went out to ask for a marriage sign for the young lady, and then she revealed that the young lady's birth date was Quan Yang. At that time, the servant really didn't know that it was all the thief's plan, and only thought that the old Taoist said there was a way.

The solution can really be resolved, so I persuaded the young lady to go out. Unexpectedly, once she went out, she could never go home again, and we were locked up in this house... Later, the officers and soldiers came in, and we were afraid that we were in the cave of the rockery.

Hiding. But after hiding for three days, I was so hungry that I went out to look for food, but when I came back I didn’t see the young lady... Now that I think about it, the young lady was already a little confused before she went missing. The servant only thought that you were frightened, so I

...Now that you said it, you are right. Later, the slave girl still couldn't get out, and she didn't dare to run away. She was afraid that the lady would not find the slave girl when she came back, so she waited and waited in the rockery. As soon as she fell asleep, she

It has become like this ghost now, and the slave's body is already a pile of bones. Over the years, I have been staying here alone. I couldn't bear to see my own bones, so I hid in the well and came out to look around when the moon came out.

If you don’t believe what I said, you can go to Kyoto and ask. The third house in Willow Alley is the Lin family’s house. Our master’s name is Shangyuanxiadao..."

Lin Yuandao?

Okay! Remember this name for now.

If she wanted to ask any more questions, she saw Qiu Ye's figure moving away in an instant as if being pulled by something, and then disappeared without a trace.

What's going on here?
