We have just read the beginning of the story, and the three of them are all curious about how it will develop next, and who the inexplicable ghost bride is.
So after briefly exchanging their thoughts, the three of them decided to stay and watch the excitement.
So the carriage followed the direction Mr. Huang left, walked through several streets, and watched the man get off the carriage and enter a large house with a sad face.
Gao Ning and others turned around and returned to the previous inn.
The waiter was still guarding the door. When he saw an acquaintance returning, he thought the guest had forgotten something, but he didn't expect that the guest had changed his mind and wanted to stay here.
The waiter immediately greeted him warmly. After asking for specific requirements, he said hello to the shopkeeper and diligently led everyone to a quiet small courtyard at the back.
After sending the waiter away, the three of them sat down on the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea and continuing to play eavesdropping.
Unlike Dr. Huang and Xiao Hui, Gao Ning was no longer satisfied with just eavesdropping on sounds. He devoted part of his energy to carefully sensing the subtle changes in the gold refining array.
In this way, what is happening in Mr. Huang's house is projected into his mind in a clever way.
It feels a bit like watching a VR movie from the previous perspective in a car, with a strange immersive feeling.
Not to mention the three of Gao Ning who were idle and miserable, just saying that when Mr. Huang found out who wanted his life and it was obvious that he was powerless, he felt bad.
Although the female Taoist priest apparently gave two ways to break the situation, in fact there was only one.
For a person like Mr. Huang, no matter what the situation, he cannot sacrifice himself.
So the dilemma now is whether to sacrifice his daughter to save his own life.
You know, he had three sons in his life, but only one daughter.
His daughter has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She is completely different from her three libertine brothers. She is a standard lady, and she is also his pride.
He has loved this daughter the most since he was a child, and now she is only over sixteen years old. It is the time when a daughter has just grown up and is pretending to get married.
Just give it to an evil ghost for no reason, causing it to perish forever and never be reincarnated.
Even with his heart of stone, he still felt a little dull pain.
This is his daughter!
Mr. Huang screamed desperately in his heart, and walked into the courtyard gate like a zombie. He ignored the concierge's respectful greetings, pushed aside the housekeeper who was coming to serve, and walked stiffly through the middle hall and into the backyard.
This is the Huang family residence.
It was also the first haunted place.
In order to escape the disaster, the family also tried to move to other places, whether it was an inn or a friend's mansion, but it was no use.
No matter where you live at night, when everyone opens their eyes the next day, they will be lying flat in front of their own yard.
Just like the first day.
The only difference is Mr. Huang, who gets closer to the mass grave every day.
Today is already the fifth day. Once the sun sets and he falls asleep, he will automatically enter the blood-red coffin. I am afraid he will never wake up again.
When he thought of this horrific scene, Mr. Huang turned pale.
He grabbed the tea on the table and drank a glass of it. At this time, the old butler walked in cautiously.
"master?"
"It's the butler!" Mr. Huang raised his head and glanced at the butler. The bloodshot eyes were full of blood, which made the other person startled.
Although the experiences at home these days have made everyone feel uneasy, as if something bad is going to happen to them anytime, anywhere.
Even the open and secret fights that were always going on in the master's back house have calmed down a lot these days.
For the housekeeper, this is rare good news, because he can finally relax for two days.
But it's also absolutely bad news. If this matter isn't handled well, you won't have to worry about it in the future.
Previously, the housekeeper was checking the family's assets in the accounting room.
This was the master's order a few days ago. He is considering spending a lot of money to invite a well-known and genuine expert to solve his troubles.
But what the female Taoist said today directly shattered his luck.
Even if he is willing to spend money, he no longer has the time.
Before the sun sets, he must make a decision.
Mr. Huang rubbed his face, his decadent expression gradually turned cold: "Butler!"
"Master!" The butler quickly handed over his hands, waiting for the master's order.
Mr. Huang took a deep breath and said: "Go, let the scorer prepare a set of Fengguanxia, a percussion instrument and a sedan for the wedding, and also dress up the young lady!"
The butler was confused: "Sir, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, just do as I say! This is to save the lives of dozens of members of our family!"
Mr. Huang shook his head and secretly gritted his teeth and said: "I remember there is still some Ecstasy incense in the warehouse. Later you can have someone use it for the lady. After she is completely unconscious, call someone to paint her a bride.
Makeup, put on Fengguanxia matching.
Then give three times the amount of silver to the bridegrooms and ask them to leave the city and head north, all the way to the mass graves!"
The housekeeper was horrified and said: "Mass graves? Bride-taking? Ghost kings who steal brides? Master, what are you trying to do? That's a young lady. That's your most beloved flesh and blood..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Huang suddenly became irritable and shouted with his eyes wide open: "Do I still need you to tell me? Xiaodie is obedient and obedient. She has been my treasure since she was a child. It's not too late for me to love her!
But this time it is a matter of life and death for the entire family, with dozens of people up and down, and the family fortune of several generations of our Lao Huang family, could it be ruined just like this?
I can’t help it, if we don’t do this, we will be the ones who die!”
"But...but Master!"
"Nothing but!"
Mr. Huang interrupted him angrily and ordered coldly: "Go and do what I tell you and don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, when the sun sets today, our Huang family will be completely wiped out!"
The housekeeper froze on the spot, suddenly shuddered, looking at Mr. Huang's indifferent and sad expression, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He turned around slowly and walked out with complicated thoughts.
After a cup of tea, a servant in green clothes and a small hat slipped out from the side door and ran towards the west city.
At the same time, four unfamiliar women walked into the backyard show building with indifferent expressions. One of them held a rope in his hand, and the other held an incense box.
The other two people, carrying phoenix crowns and harems, entered the young lady's boudoir unobstructed.
Half an hour later, more than twenty funeral processions had gathered at the back door. The red sedan entered and exited the side door.
The butler personally pulled the leader aside, whispered a few words into his ear, and pushed a heavy money bag in front of the confused look in his eyes.
The other party immediately showed a big smile, patted his chest and promised that everything would be taken care of by him.
So he waved his hand and the team headed towards the north gate.
The butler's eyes were complicated, and he could vaguely see a bride-to-be leaning on the backrest in a red sedan, in a coma.
