The Haunted

The night falls, a lamp is like a bean, and under the flickering candlelight, the young man is meditating alone with his eyes closed, with several open books spread out in front of him.

With a "squeak" the door was pushed open, and the old servant Zheng Bo came in with a cup of hot ginseng soup, put it respectfully on the table, and said in a low voice, "Master, you can drink the soup just now while it's hot."

The young man opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dark and moist pupils, which were clear and innocent, but they were particularly touching in the night.

After seeing the old man in front of him, his complexion softened significantly, the corners of his mouth curled up, he nodded, opened the soup cup and slowly took a porcelain spoon to drink.

Zheng Bo carefully observed the young master's expression, seeing that he was in a good mood, he couldn't help hesitatingly said: "Master, now that your side is stable, shouldn't it be time to choose a day to take the young lady over?"

With a "click", the porcelain spoon in the young man's hand fell to the edge of the table and broke in two.He looked at the old servant who took care of him and finally sighed. He didn't have the heart to say anything else, he just pressed his forehead and stood up, lowered his eyes and said softly: "...There are many official affairs, let's discuss it later."

After speaking, he walked out of the study.

He could understand what the old servant was thinking.The Great Zhou Dynasty did not prohibit marrying a man as a wife and concubine, so in Zheng Bo's view, since he married that person, worshiped him and entered the bridal chamber, that person is his Chi family's daughter-in-law, the young lady whom Chi Yanming is currently marrying , Naturally, it is necessary to connect to Beijing as soon as possible.Not only should he be connected to Beijing as soon as possible, but he should also bring his young wife back to his hometown as soon as possible to pay homage to his wife who died prematurely and the ancestors of the Chi family.He had never confessed the truth to the old servant, and Zheng Bo could only guess based on clues that he didn't like his wife being a man with him, so he was reluctant to take her over.

But the truth is far from that.

In the yard, facing the moonlight, Chi Yan shivered as he opened his wide robe sleeve on the left, and saw a finger-wide silver chain intertwined around his white left forearm, reflecting the silver light in the moonlight, like a silver chain. The snake finally clasped his wrist.This thing is not heavy, you get used to it after wearing it for a long time, and it will not affect your daily activities.

But when Chi Yan saw the chain, he couldn't help but tremble - it was the thing that locked him.

He still remembered the morning when he left, the sky was very cloudy, the window was foggy, and the house was still very dark, and it was even more difficult to see the outside situation clearly through the warm crimson curtains.While pressing down on him and kissing him, the man stretched out his left hand to rest on the wrists of his hands bound together by the silver chain, deftly moving his fingers to unlock the hidden lock on the silver chain.

Both hands were finally free, and before Chi Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, the man pulled his left arm, wrapped the entire silver chain around it, and finally locked it firmly at the wrist.

He opened his round black eyes and looked at the other party anxiously and angrily, but the other party just smiled lightly, leaned over and pressed a kiss on the lock of his wrist: "...Hey, don't try to run away, wait for me Looking for you."

His breath was cold, his brows were curved with a smile, but his dark eyes were bottomless.

The red candle outside the Qingluo tent crackled and burned to the end, under the candlelight, only his shadow was reflected on the tent.

In the courtyard, Chi Yan closed his eyes, put down his sleeves again, and covered the delicate silver chain.

As early as the night of the bridal chamber, he knew that his bride herself had no intention or plan to hide it—the new wife he married with was not a human being.

After Chi Yan left, Zheng Bo cleaned the study alone, took the soup cup back to the back kitchen and looked at the moon in the sky, thinking of his little master, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

He was picked up by Chi Yan's mother when he fled. To him, the other party was a kindness to him, not to mention that he has no wife and children. He has been watching the little master grow up, although he has always obeyed the master and servant Dutiful, but his concern for the little master is not fake at all.He knows that the young master has had a hard time in these years, and now seeing that the young master has managed to get a good name and a job in the court, he can be called a bright future, but he is depressed because of family affairs, so he can't help but feel anxious. I want to match him and the young lady in love and harmony, with harmony and harmony.

The Chi family has a certain reputation in the Guanqing area, there are quite a few children in the family, and Chi's father is a relatively collateral branch of the family.Chi's mother was originally an orphan girl in the local area, and she lived alone in a bamboo house on a nearby mountain. One day, Chi's father and his friends went out on a mountain trip but lost their way in the mountains. They happened to meet Chi's mother who was washing yarn by the stream, and she was shocked. From then on, they didn't think about tea and rice, and went to visit the beautiful woman in the mountains every day. After the two exchanged affection, they insisted on marrying each other back home.

Who knows that the good times will not last long, Chi's mother has not been pregnant for three years after entering the family, and she has been criticized by the clan. The clan members have persuaded Chi's father to take a concubine, and the elders in the clan have continued to put pressure on him.Under a lot of pressure, Chi's father's love for his wife gradually faded, and he began to prepare for taking a concubine.

At this time, Chi's mother finally became pregnant, and gave birth to a baby boy safely, named "Chi Yan".But just one month after Chi Yan was born, Chi's mother's body gradually weakened, and all the doctors were helpless. She knew that her fate was not long, so she even asked the maid to take out her son who was less than a hundred days old after hugging her son for the last time. I lit the mattress alone in the house... In the end, the fire was extinguished in time, but Chi's mother also died in the fire.

Not long after Chi's mother passed away, Chi's father married a second son, and the second wife soon gave Chi's father a pair of children.

The step-wife is in charge of all the affairs of the family, she doesn't like Chi Yan, and under the influence of the step-wife, Chi's father doesn't care much about her eldest son, Chi Yan will inevitably suffer a lot of harsh treatment at home, all thanks to Uncle Zheng and several former attendants Guo Chi's maidservant secretly supported her.

After Zheng Bo came to Chi's house, he saved Chi's father's life. He was a model of loyal protection and reliable work, so he was promoted by Chi's father to be the housekeeper.After his step-mother came in, although he didn't like Zheng Bo who was loyal to Chi Yan, but he couldn't find an excuse to do something to the famous loyal servant in this clan, so he slowly arranged his own people to squeeze him out.

Uncle Zheng wanted to take care of the little master to grow up safely, so he didn't care about these things, he just endured slowly.

Fortunately, Chi Yan is the legitimate eldest son of Chi's father, and when he got old, he naturally entered the ethnology. Because of his talent, he was highly praised by the gentlemen, and he was placed with high hopes by the elders of the clan. Make trouble for him.

Chi Yan lived up to expectations, passed the children's examination and the rural examination at a young age, and only waited to go to Beijing to take the general examination.

Now Chi Yan's status in the clan has increased even more, even Chi's father is proud of this son who has been neglected by him for many years.But Chi Yan's stepmother was jealous in her heart. She also understood how she treated Chi Yan harshly back then. She was jealous and worried that the other party would come back to take revenge on her, so she decided to take the opportunity to get rid of Chi Yan completely.

Chi Yan set off from home to go to Beijing to take part in the examination, besides Zheng Bo, he also brought two servants from his family and his ration.In the middle of the journey, the two young men said to relieve themselves, but they never came back.After all, Zheng Bo had many years of life experience, and he was also wary of the mistress of the family, and when he saw this, he realized that something was wrong, guessing that the two servants had been bribed by the other party, so he hurriedly asked Chi Yan to leave on horseback.

Unexpectedly, the two young servants drugged the horse, and the horse foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground within two steps.At this time, bandits had already chased after him, thinking that the other party had secretly reported to the bandits.

In desperation, the master and servant had no choice but to leave the official road and run towards the mountains on foot. After finally getting rid of the bandits, the sky darkened and their vision became blurred. There was an extremely deep wound on the leg cut by a branch, and it was simply bandaged with the torn clothes, and at this time it began to ooze blood.

The so-called blessings are unparalleled and misfortunes never come singly.The master and the servant were tired and hungry in the mountains, and they didn't know how to go down the mountain. It started to rain heavily again.Chi Yan's body couldn't take it anymore, he gradually developed a fever, and his consciousness was dizzy and awake very unclearly.

Zheng Bo stretched out his hand to touch the young master's forehead, only to feel that the place where he touched was scalding hot, he thought something was wrong in his heart, and understood that the most urgent thing to do was to reduce the young master's fever.But in this barren mountain and wild ridge, even the way down the mountain can't be distinguished, and there is no one's house, let alone a medical center.

Just when he was anxious, he raised his eyes and saw a bright light in the valley not far away, Zheng Bo didn't care about it any more, immediately wrapped Chi Yan in his clothes, carried him on his back, and led him towards the light.

After running closer, he realized that it was an extremely magnificent mansion, with two unnamed bronze beasts crouching at the main entrance, and two heavy gold-plated knockers on the black gate.

Zheng Bo put Chi Yan aside and went forward to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened from the inside, and two young girls in light yellow silk dresses came out from it.Uncle Zheng didn't have much knowledge, he just felt that the two young girls were dressed more luxuriously than the hostess at home, so he thought that the other party was the master of the house. Although he thought it was wrong for the master to answer the door himself, he didn't have time After thinking about it, he knelt down in front of the door with a plop, and begged the second daughter to save his master's life with tears in his eyes.

Seeing Uncle Zheng like this, the two girls felt a little helpless, and quickly bent down to help him.

Among them, the older woman in the goose-yellow skirt thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to stay overnight with you tonight, but you have to be honest, and you must not disturb our master. You will leave early tomorrow morning."

The woman was not polite in her speech, but Zheng Bo didn't care about it at this moment, he was very grateful to hear that the other party was willing to take them in, he stood up and thanked him repeatedly, and then ran to Chi Yan's side to help him up and followed the two A girl goes in.

After entering the gate, I feel that this mansion is extraordinary and magnificent. The pavilions and pavilions are exquisite everywhere. When you look up, you can see all carved beams and painted buildings. There are glazed lanterns hanging under the corners of the eaves. From a distance, it looks like thousands of stars with the wind. Swaying, the central winding corridor surrounds a green lake, sparkling under the light of the night lights, and there is a bit of exquisiteness and chic in its magnificence.

The black door closed behind the two of them, and the younger girl with round face and curvy eyes led them to a remote courtyard, opened the door for them, and said softly: "You two, don't blame me. Sister speaks bluntly, she is also for your own good, and is afraid that you will get into trouble that you shouldn't get into. You two must not leave this courtyard tonight, and I will send the two of you away tomorrow morning. "

After finishing speaking, the girl said goodbye and left, and after a while, she brought over herbs for dispelling dampness and reducing fever.After Zheng Bo took off his shoes, he went to the kitchen in the yard to boil hot water to boil the medicine, and waited for Chi Yan to eat the medicine.

"This house is a bit weird. It's such a big place, with so many courtyards. When we came in just now, there was no sound at all. It seemed that there were only those two little girls." Uncle Zheng muttered while packing up the medicine bowl.

After drinking the medicine, Chi Yan rested for a while, changed his wet clothes, dried himself, and felt much better. Hearing this, he said, "I'm afraid the owner of this house is not an ordinary person. He has strict rules. Let's rest for one night, and tomorrow we will listen to the Let the two girls leave as soon as possible."

Zheng Bo should be, and the master and servant rested here.

But the sky didn’t do what people wanted, and the next morning was gloomy, with heavy rain pouring down, and the bean-sized raindrops crackled on the window lattice, which made people hardly open their eyes.In this kind of weather, don't talk about going out of the mountain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the gate.

Chi Yan still had a low-grade fever, his whole body was limp, and he couldn't lift his strength.Seeing this scene, the two girls couldn't drive them out, so they could only let them stay for another day, and brought them medicine and food.

As a result, in the evening, Chi Yan's fever not only did not subside, but even worsened, the two girls did not show up again.Uncle Zheng was very anxious, he thought over and over again that Chi Yan's safety was the most important thing, and ignored the repeated warnings of the two women, he hurried out of the yard to find someone.Although this land is built in the mountains, according to common sense, given the size of the mansion, there must be a doctor who specializes in treating the people in the mansion. Uncle Zheng wanted to invite someone to see the doctor for his young master.

Uncle Zheng went away for a long time and didn't see him back. Chi Yan felt better after sleeping, and his fever subsided a little. He couldn't help worrying that the old servant's eyesight would offend the nobles in the mansion, and he was afraid that Uncle Zheng would go out because of his weak legs. What an accident.

After thinking about it like this, I couldn’t sit still any longer, and reluctantly supported the bed to get off the ground. I felt that the world was spinning for a while, my feet were weak, and I couldn’t use any strength, but I still walked forward slowly while holding on to the wall. I feel a lot easier.

Chi Yan was a fledgling at this time and was a bit young and vigorous. He felt that if Zheng Bo accidentally offended his master, he should come forward to persuade him.He also felt that he was going to participate in the examination after all, and the master might sell himself a little bit of face.Moreover, my master and servant stayed here, logically speaking, I should thank my master.

It was evening at this time, the rain had stopped, the clouds had dispersed, and the sky was covered with orange, red, purple and yellow clouds under the setting sun.Chi Yan walked out of the courtyard without knowing the direction, originally wanted to ask the servants and servants of the mansion, but after walking out for a long time, he didn't even see a single person.

Just as he was feeling strange, he saw sparkling water in front of him, and a green lake in front of him, thinking that all the water systems in this mansion are connected.Standing in front of the lake was a young man with a jade crown on his head and a black brocade robe, looking at the lake with his back turned.

Seeing the other party's extraordinary clothes, Chi Yan guessed that the other party's status was unusual, so he paused, stepped forward and asked, "Young master, are you the master of this mansion?"

The man turned around when he heard the sound, his black eyes fixed on him, they dimmed slightly, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

His skin was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun all year round, but even so, he couldn't hide his appearance.His voice was cold, and he had the aura of a superior person. Chi Yan was forced by the other party's power, and he took a moment to follow the other party's question. Staying overnight, and how to find out that the old servant disappeared and went out to find people anxiously.After speaking, I apologized to the other party for bothering and thanked the other party again and again.

The man seemed to think for a moment after hearing this, then raised his hand and pointed in the direction Chi Yan came to, and said, "Go back from here, your old servant will be back soon."

Chi Yan felt that this person was a bit weird, and he said this without thinking.How did he know that Zheng Bo would go back soon?But subconsciously, he felt a little beating in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask again, so he had no choice but to thank him dumbly, then turned around and returned along the original road.

But he didn't see the man standing there, staring at him without blinking until his figure completely disappeared.

Chi Yan went back to the courtyard and waited for a while, but Zheng Bo didn't come back. Just when he couldn't hold back and wanted to go out to look for someone again, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Zheng Bo came back.

As soon as the old man entered the door, he sighed again and again, saying that he had somehow lost his way after walking out of the yard, and had been spinning in one place, unable to move forward or backward. The wall, knowing that just now somehow found the way back.But this trip neither found a doctor nor met anyone else, and he couldn't find someone to treat Chi Yan's illness, so the old man felt quite guilty.

Chi Yan repeatedly comforted him and said that he was much better. Zheng Bo looked carefully at the young master's expression and found that his spirit had indeed improved a lot. Feast decoction.

Soon the sky completely darkened, Chi Yan finished drinking the medicine, the master and servant discussed to leave early tomorrow morning.

But this night Chi Yan didn't sleep peacefully. During the half-dream and half-waking period, he felt as if he was being tightly bound by something. The thing was cold all over his body. He felt comfortable sticking it to it for the first time, so he couldn't help but slam into it. , and rubbed his face against each other.But after a long time, I felt uncomfortably restrained, my whole body was tightly surrounded, and my body was too cold to bear, so I subconsciously whimpered and wanted to run away.

However, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to, he hid back, and the thing entangled him one step closer, and it no longer just held him in his arms, but acted recklessly... Chi Yan and the other party hugged tightly The place where it was located was uncomfortably cold, and the inside was teased to be hot and unbearably hot, but the consciousness was so drowsy that he couldn't wake up, so he could only let the other party do whatever he wanted, so he entangled with that thing all night in this dual world of ice and fire.

This night, he was afraid, tired, anxious and uncomfortable. He just felt that his whole body was soaked in sweat, sticky and greasy.

After waking up the next day, he didn't feel tired, and the sticky feeling like a spring dream disappeared. Instead, he only felt refreshed, and all the diseases in his body were cured.

The house they lived in was divided into two rooms, inside and outside, Chi Yan slept in the inside, and Zheng Bo slept in the outside to take care of him.After waking up, Chi Yan tentatively asked Zheng Bo: "Uncle, did someone come to our place last night?"

Zheng Bo shook his head: "No, this old slave has been guarding outside and never saw anyone coming."

Chi Yan shook his head, attributed everything last night to a dream.

Zheng Bo waited on Chi Yan to wash up as usual, and then began to make the bed. Suddenly his legs gave way, and he fell beside the bed and couldn't get up.Chi Yan hastily went over to reach out to help, and helped Zheng Bo to lie down on the bed. The old man's eyes were closed tightly, his hands and feet were twitching slightly, his face was flushed abnormally, and his mouth was trembling, making the sound of teeth colliding.

Chi Yan was startled and was at a loss for a while, when there was a knock on the door, Chi Yan hurriedly went to open the door, and outside stood the two young girls who welcomed their master and servant in that night.

Chi Yan hastily welcomed the two daughters in and asked them to help check on Zheng Bo's situation.Unexpectedly, the older woman's expression changed when she saw Zheng Bo's appearance, she frowned at Chi Yan and said solemnly, "Has he ever been out of this courtyard?"

Chi Yan thought of the two daughters' previous warnings, and felt guilty, but at this moment he had to admit: "Yes, I was seriously ill before, and Uncle Zheng was worried, so..."

Before he finished speaking, the older woman interrupted him with a wave of her hand: "Needless to say. This old man has already been dragged into the gate of hell with both feet. If you listen to me, you should take him away as soon as possible and find a good man." The place allows the elderly to rest in the soil."

Chi Yan was stunned when he heard that, from his point of view, Zheng Bo had always been in good health before, but he suddenly fell ill, but this girl made such a conclusion without even asking for a doctor, directly saying that Zheng Bo is going to die, In addition to being puzzled, he also faintly felt a little angry, and his face showed two points of sullenness.

The younger girl also advised: "My lord, don't be arrogant. The two of us sisters have told you in every possible way not to leave the yard, but since you didn't obey, there is nothing you can do now. Let the old man rest in peace earlier. "

Chi Yan knew that it was his master and servant's fault for not listening to the second daughter's instructions, and it would not be beautiful if he bumped into his master's house and caused trouble for the two girls.But when the old servant's life and death were involved, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said to the two women: "I also left this yard. According to what you say, I should die too?"

The two women showed a hint of surprise on their faces, and they looked at each other. Finally, the older woman said: "My sisters kindly let your master and servant come in to rest and shelter from the rain, but I didn't expect to hurt you in the end. I see you There is still life, I will show you a clear path, if you want to die, just listen to me and go quickly with this old man on your back, and bury the old man well, as long as you can run out of this mountain before sunset, maybe you can get it back One life; if you don't listen to me, there are leftover herbs here, you can try to give this old man a drink. But I also want to remind you that the Queen Mother's elixir can't save a dead person, both of them Your feet have been dragged into the gate of hell, and the rest is just a matter of time, if you insist on going your own way, I am afraid that you will put yourself here."

Of course Chi Yan refused to take Zheng Bo out as they said and buried him here, but he couldn't find a doctor right now, so he had no choice but to act as a living horse doctor. Uncle decocted the medicine, and then waited for the old man to drink it.Uncle Zheng was covered in sweat, so he changed the old man's sweaty clothes, dried his body with a dry cloth, and then changed into dry clothes.Once he got busy, he was busy until sunset.

He was worried about Uncle Zheng, so he let Uncle Zheng sleep on the bed in the inner room, and he set up a couch not far from the bed, and only closed his eyes and clothes when he saw that the old man was at ease, and went to sleep.

However, this sleep was not stable, and he had the same dream as last night again, but it was more clear than yesterday's chaotic feeling.

He dreamed that someone opened the door and came in, stood in front of his couch and leaned down, kissed his neck and cheek, he stretched out his hand to push, but the man put his hand into his clothes and groped unscrupulously, he wanted to struggle , but was picked up by that person, carried straight out of the yard, walked to nowhere, opened a door and walked in, and only threw him down in front of the bed, and then leaned over to press him up...

The scene in the dream was even worse than the previous day. He vaguely remembered that his clothes were all torn and were barely hanging on his body, and they were crumpled and dirty... Finally, it seemed that the man took a A black satin robe came over, wrapped him up, and carried him back to the courtyard where he lived...

Chi Yan woke up from the dream and looked around, only to see that the sky was bright, it was obviously already high in the sun.Zheng Bo was still lying on the bed, breathing steadily, but he still didn't wake up from the coma.

Chi Yan thought that it was not an option to procrastinate like this, so why not just leave and take Zheng Bo down the mountain to find a doctor to have a good look at it.

He looked down, but couldn't help but froze.I saw that he had all the clothes inside, indeed his own clothes were good, but outside he was wrapped in a strange black robe.The robe was of excellent quality, obviously made of high-quality satin. It was as thick and smooth as water, and the workmanship was exquisite. The cuffs and feet of the robe were outlined with delicate and luxurious cloud patterns with gold threads.

It is not accurate to say that it is unfamiliar, after all, he seemed to have seen this dress in his dream last night.

Chi Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, and his body trembled slightly. Could it be that what he experienced last night was not a dream? Ever played?But why didn't he wake up all the time, even though he had a sense of sensation and touch, he always felt that it was not real, and he only regarded it as a dream. Could it be that the food and drink were wrong, and he was unconsciously caught in the Tao?

But he can't say such words. He has read the sage books with his husband since he was a child, and he attaches great importance to etiquette, justice, honesty and shame. Such things are obviously not about shame. How can an honest gentleman do it?He could only keep this matter in his stomach, and when the two women came, he only casually told the other party that he planned to leave and took Zheng Bo to the mountain to seek medical treatment.

He took out the money left on his body to thank the two girls, but the two sisters refused to accept it, and Chi Yan had no choice but to take the money back.

The younger sister opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but was stopped by her sister.The older woman was already angered by Chi Yan's behavior of going her own way and not listening to advice, she didn't want her sister to waste any more time talking with him.

So the two sisters watched as Chi Yan picked up the few remaining luggage and carried the old servant on his back to leave. After he walked out of the gate, he began to tidy up and clean the house.

The younger sister cleaned the room and suddenly let out an exclamation. The older sister walked in and was about to reprimand her for making a fuss when she saw her holding a black robe in her hand, standing helplessly, looking at her in panic, and said, "Sister, Sister, this is... Master, I am afraid that he has already discovered that we have released people in."

Chi Yan carried Zheng Bo on his back and walked down the mountain. He was a scholar, he didn't have much strength, and he didn't have much experience in living in the wild. He carried Zheng Bo on his back as an adult, stopped and stopped, sometimes lost his way, and had to start again. Go back around.

Unknowingly, the sun has gradually moved to the west, the dark clouds in the sky began to gather, and after a while, it started to rain again.But luckily it didn't rain too much at first, so Chi Yan gritted his teeth and rushed down the mountain with Zheng Bo on his back.

Suddenly he heard the sound of grinding his teeth beside his ears, he was a little puzzled, turned around and saw Zheng Bo's eyes were closed tightly, his eyeballs were rolling, his throat was rumbling, and he kept grinding his teeth.

He thought Zheng Bo had fallen ill again, so he quickly called "Zheng Bo" and "Zheng Bo" twice.The old servant didn't pay any attention, just struggled again and again, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were protruding outwards, his face turned blue, and two fangs grew out of his mouth, and he opened his mouth to bite Chi Yan. .It didn't look like a kind and loyal old servant, but like some kind of evil spirit crawling out of hell.

Chi Yan was startled, and hastily broke free. Zheng Bo lost his support and fell directly from his back. His complexion returned to normal, but he fell into a coma again.

Trembling, Chi Yan stretched out his hand to touch the old man, but Zheng Bo didn't respond.After all, Chi Yan couldn't leave the old servant alone, so he gritted his teeth and put Zheng Bo on his back again, and quickly ran down the mountain in the rain.

However, until it was completely dark, he still couldn't find the way down the mountain. He was cold, hungry, anxious, and afraid. Suddenly, he saw a light not far away. He was overjoyed and hurried towards that direction. He thought it would be nice if he had a family, at least he could buy some food and stay overnight, and when the weather cleared up tomorrow morning, he would ask about the way down the mountain. If he was lucky, he might even invite a doctor to see Zheng Bo.

However, when he got closer, his expectations were completely cooled. He saw that it was an extremely magnificent mansion, and two unnamed bronze beasts were squatting at the main entrance. Heavy gilt knocker.Magnificent and majestic, magnificent and magnificent, it was the mansion he had just left in the morning.

Chi Yan was hesitating whether to go up and knock on the door again, when the sound of teeth grinding came from behind.

Chi Yan was anxious and frightened for a moment, he didn't even dare to look back, and was about to put down Uncle Zheng to knock on the door, but the two black doors opened from the inside, and it was still the pair of sisters who came out to welcome them.

Strange to say, after seeing the pair of sisters, Uncle Zheng became quiet again.

It's just that when the two women looked at Chi Yan again this time, there was something more in their eyes that he couldn't understand, it seemed pity, helplessness, and sigh.But Chi Yan didn't notice it, and walked up to the two women in embarrassment: "You two sisters, please allow us one more night, master and servant. I lost my way when I went out today. Unfortunately, it rained again. After walking for a day, I came back here again."

The two women nodded, didn't say much, opened the door as expected, let him walk in with Zheng Bo on his back, and took them back to the courtyard where they lived before.

Light the lamp for the two of them, and after arranging everything, the two sisters did not leave. Instead, they stood under the light and looked at Chi Yan quietly, saying, "My master said that as long as you agree to a marriage, the master will rescue you." This old man's life."

However, Chi Yan suddenly felt angry, it seems that the owner here really has a way to save Zheng Bo, but he just refuses to save him, and wants to use some kind of marriage as a threat.Don't say it's a matter of marriage, he simply despises such an act of threatening his life, it's not what a gentleman does.

But this family has taken in his master and servant many times in times of crisis, and they really have no obligation to treat Zheng Bo's illness, so Chi Yan couldn't say anything more serious, just turned his head and said: "Miss, don't say anything, tomorrow My master and servant will leave in the morning."

The older woman nodded without forcing her, but said again: "Then listen to me, bury the old man as early as possible tomorrow morning, and go down the mountain earlier by yourself."

Chi Yan was even more angry when he heard the words, but he couldn't say anything more, so he just nodded with a straight face.

The master and servant settled down in the previous house.

After lying on the bed, Zheng Bo's condition improved a lot, his body no longer trembled, and the sound of teeth grinding that made Chi Yan shuddering also disappeared.It's just that the old man's face was covered with a layer of blue-gray color, like a ghost with half a foot in the palace of Hades.

But Chi Yan grew up under the watchful eye of the old man, even though Zheng Bo looked like this, he didn't feel too scared, on the contrary, he felt sad and worried.He went to the yard to bring water to boil, and used the hot water to scrub Zheng Bo's whole body, then carefully dressed the old man and covered him with a quilt.

He was unwilling to accept the coercion of the owner to agree to Lao Shizi's marriage, but of course he would not find a place to bury Zheng Bo as the older woman said and set out on his own way.Chi Yan had already made up his mind, he would leave at dawn tomorrow, no matter what, he would take Zheng Bo to the doctor to see a doctor.

He was afraid that something might happen to Uncle Zheng, and he realized that he was not taking care of him in time outside, so he didn't take off his clothes, but sat on the wooden chair in the house with his clothes on, and closed his eyes as he lay on the wooden desk.

When he fell asleep in the middle of the night, he vaguely felt that someone was standing in front of the table looking at him, but he was too tired to open his eyes.

Then he felt the "person" in front of him stretch out his hands, those hands were slender and powerful, but they were so cool that they slid down his eyebrows and bridge of nose, and finally touched his lips.After stroking for a while, the hands continued to go down, poking in along the collar of his loose coat, kneading wantonly on his chest.

Chi Yan was half-awake and half-conscious, moaned in the dark and sweet dream, and struggled a bit, but the black figure took the opportunity to put both hands in, then grabbed his waist, and pushed him down on the hard floor. On the wooden table...

When Chi Yan woke up the next day, he felt a little dizzy. He reluctantly raised his head from the table, and subconsciously looked down—the clothes on his body were still on, and there was no sticky or uncomfortable place on his body.

He vaguely remembered the situation of last night, but now it seems that it was just a dream, and there was no trace when he woke up.

Chi Yan's face couldn't help but blushed, he had never had this kind of dream when he was at home before, let alone such absurd scene in the dream... It turned out that he was begging and tactfully lying under someone else's body.

Chi Yan shook his head, trying to drive away all those thoughts in his head, but when he looked out of the window, he saw that the sky had already glowed with white light, he quickly turned around to pack his bags, and carried Zheng Bo, who was still in a coma, on his back.

He couldn't find the two sisters to say goodbye, so he simply left a note and a bank note and left on his own.

When he was in the mansion, the sky looked fine, but he didn't expect that the sky would darken as soon as he left the mansion, and the darkness covered the top of his head, which made Chi Yan's heart sink.

Chi Yan was thinking about Zheng Bo's situation, so he didn't dare to delay at all, and chose the most flat and open road to walk along.

In the room where he lived, the older woman looked at the note left by Chi Yan with an inexplicable expression on her face, and sighed after a while: "...he is a pedantic scholar who values ​​love and righteousness."

The younger sister was watching from the side, her beautiful face showed a bit of worry: "Sister, do you think they can get out?"

The older woman shook her head slowly: "...with a living dead person who is only breathing, and he can't leave this place of death...he wants to spare his life, but he is obsessed with it."

"It's not necessarily..." The younger sister trembled, as if thinking of something extremely terrifying, she tremblingly said, "If he obeys the master, he will also..."

The older woman didn't speak, and upon closer inspection, one could see that even under the sun, her sister's face was pale and bloodless.

Even though they are no longer people in the mortal world, they still retain some of the temperament they had when they were human. How can they not understand that if a good living person marries a ghost like his master, how can he escape the fate of being torn apart and eaten?
