Hua Su seems to be used to being above others, and he never puts other people's lives in his eyes, as if mortals in this world are insignificant ants, but if he really cares, he will show favoritism, like treating a cat or a dog... …protect.

The back of Rongli's neck was chilled, and he was so terrified by the cat's blue eyes staring at him that he almost threw the cat out. After several tests, she confirmed that Hua Su would not kill her, but if Hua Sui didn't Making a blood contract with her is different.

Her eyes trembled clearly, and seeing Xiaofu's suspicious eyes, she hastily raised her hand to touch the kettle with a thin neck and round belly, "Is the honey water contained in the kettle? Thirsty."

Xiaofu took out the clean cup from the wooden box, picked up the kettle and poured out half a cup of honey water, and handed it to the girl, "Drink it, girl."

Rong Li concealed the strangeness in his eyes, took a small sip, his pale lips touched the rim of the cup, it seemed that he had touched the water, but in fact he didn't take a sip, he was just pretending so that Hua Su couldn't see what she was thinking .

The cat in his arms was quiet, strangely quiet, obviously changing his temper.

Its blue eyes turned slightly, and it looked at the curtain of the car door silently. The curtain was shaking, and a corner was lifted by the wind from time to time, and the carriage in front of it could be seen.

Hua Su didn't speak any more, causing Rong Li to bow his head curiously.She saw the cat's eyes closed, and her arms lightened immediately, as if all the bones and viscera were pulled out of the cat's skin.

What kind of bones and viscera were taken away, the sum of all these things is not as heavy as Hua Su's soul.

Hua Su left the cat, and the cat closed its eyes, as if it had fallen asleep.

Rong Li put down the water glass, hugged the cat in his arms tightly with one arm, stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the curtain, but couldn't see Hua Su.

There was no strange movement in the carriage in front, and there was only the sound of wooden wheels grinding the ground, and the groom remained silent.

Rong Li withdrew his hands, put down the curtain, quietly retracted his slender fingers into his sleeves, and held the painting firmly.

Seeing that the girl drank the honey water, Xiaofu remembered the decoction boiled early this morning, and pulled out a frying pot from under the wooden seat, "Kongqing told me that the boiled medicine was put on the carriage, I almost forgot, and also I don't know if it's cold or not."

She carefully put her palm on the body of the pot, and she was delighted, "It's still hot!"

Rong Li gave a soft "hmm" and frowned slightly, "Is the medicine boiled by Kong Qing?"

"Kongqing is too diligent. Before dawn, I went to the kitchen to cook fish and boiled the girl's medicine." Xiaofu poured the medicine into a clean bowl. The medicine juice was as black as ink, and some finely divided medicine dregs Followed by poured out.

"Is what she boiled the medicine I ordered you to buy, or was it prescribed by the government doctor earlier?" Rong Li took the bowl, lowered his head and sniffed it.

Xiaofu thought for a while, "I told her that the girl's medicine is in the medicine box in the house, and the medicine prescribed by the mansion doctor is on the wooden shelf on the east side of the kitchen. After it is boiled, it has to be poured quietly, so that it cannot be found."

Rong Li didn't smell any strange smell, so he felt a little relieved.

Xiao Fu lowered her voice, "But when Kong Qing came back, she told me that the medicine on the wooden shelf in the kitchen seemed to have been replaced."

"How to say?" Rong Li vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"There was some dust on the original medicine bag, and the string tied to the medicine bag was a little shorter. Today, she saw that the medicine bag was clean, as if it had just been wrapped, and even the thin rope tied on it It has become a lot longer." Xiao Fu was puzzled.

Rong Li chuckled, sure enough there was something wrong with the previous medicine, now that Rong Changting came back, and something happened to Yu Zhuo again, some people were afraid that Rong Changting would find out that the medicine was wrong, so they quietly changed all the original medicine.

She shook her head, even if she told Rong Changting about it, as long as the government doctor didn't change his words, Rong Changting would never know that the medicine was bad.

"Girl, the doctor in the mansion really got angry with the third lady." Xiaofu was annoyed, "Young lady drank the medicine in the mansion for so long but it didn't work, and the medicine I got from outside the mansion only lasted a few days. It looks much better."

Rong Li said softly, "I'm afraid the medicine package got damp, so the people in the kitchen specially opened it to dry it, and wrapped it in new paper. How can we know whether the medicine inside is good or bad?"

Xiaofu snorted softly, "If we can show the medicine to the master when the master comes back, it will be fine. If there is something wrong with the medicine, the government doctor will not be able to escape the blame!"

"If the doctor also said that the medicine was swapped, then who is to blame?" Rong Li coughed a few more times, his cheeks flushed.

Xiaofu was indignant, "But besides him, who else in the mansion can provide medicine?"

"There are too many people who can leave the mansion." Rong Li paused, and then said: "What's more, even if you tell father about this, will the mansion doctor confess the person behind it? If he is as silent as that accountant Mr. If you don't admit it, the person who instructed him is not living a happy life."

Xiao Fu was trembling with anger, "My girl has a good heart, but she is a big girl from the Rong family, how can she be bullied like this."

"Take your time, don't rush it." Rong Li lowered his head and drank the medicine.

Meng Yuan did have a lot of tricks, but he was not a smart person, and he might be instigated by others, but he didn't know if there was a oriole behind the praying mantis?

In the carriage in front, Rong Changting fell asleep, his eyes were black and blue, and he hadn't rested for a long time.Si Zhao was sitting with him, turning the cup, as if thinking about something.

Rong Changting hadn't slept so soundly for a long time since he returned home. The mountain road was obviously difficult, and the wooden wheel would run over stones half buried in the mud from time to time.

After he fell asleep, his brows were still furrowed, and he suddenly fell into a dream. In the dream, he seemed to relive what happened yesterday through the eyes of others.

The door of the firewood room in the orchid courtyard was wide open, and a maid was lying motionless on the ground, with a hemp rope around her neck, and there was a circle of bruises under the hemp rope. Her face was purple, as if she had been strangled to death.

The furnishings in the firewood room were different, and the maid's lying posture was also different, but in the dream, he didn't feel anything wrong.

The stool fell to the side, and when I looked up, I saw a piece of rope hanging from the hanging beam swaying.

His eyes were drawn, as if he had become a puppet, and a force from nowhere forced him to look up.

As soon as he raised his head, his eyes suddenly fixed on the high window next to the roof tiles. The window was closed, but there was a mud print underneath. The lower half of the mud print was blurry, but the upper half was clearly visible. People stepped on it.

Rong Changting felt in a daze that the maid's death was really strange, his eyes paused for a moment and then moved away, he suddenly saw a ghost jumping up from the maid's body, the soul was full of blood and tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Someone Kill me, I didn't hang myself."

Si Zhao was playing with the cup, when she heard Rong Changting exclaimed suddenly, she turned her head hastily, and saw Rong Changting's eyes were staring, his sweaty appearance seemed to have just been scooped out of the water.

"Water." Rong Changting's voice was hoarse.

Si Zhao hurriedly poured water and handed it to his mouth, "Master, did you have a nightmare?"

Rong Changting's eyes were heavy, panting for breath, he drank the water in the glass until there was not a drop left before he managed to regain his senses.He frowned and asked: "Did you find anything wrong outside the woodshed yesterday?"

Si Zhao was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Rong Changting would ask about this matter, and said slowly: "Everyone has already been buried in Gaomianling, what could be wrong, does the master feel that the maid was murdered by others?" gone?"

Rong Changting pursed his lips and remained silent.

Si Zhao said softly, "Does the master think that the beam is too high? Thinking about it, it is true. Even if Yu Zhuo stepped on the stool, he might not be able to reach the hemp rope hanging under the wooden beam."

"No," Rong Changting murmured, "There is one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Si Zhao asked.

Rong Changting raised his hand, put his palm in front of her lips, and stopped her words, so Si Zhao had no choice but to keep silent.

After a while, the cat in Rongli's arms moved again, his blue eyes opened again, and his body sank a little.

The cat in his arms suddenly weighed, and Rong Li knew that it was Hua Su who had returned.

Rong Li didn't know how this dream was "given", he slightly raised his hand, hesitated for a long time before dropping it lightly, just like he was stroking the pendulum before, he was caressing Hua Su who had penetrated the body of the pendulum.

The cat meowed a few times indifferently, and it was very reluctant to hear.

Hua Su said: "Rong Changting has become suspicious, but I haven't seen the firewood room layout that day, so what he saw in his dream will be somewhat different from the real world."

Rong Li's raised hand suddenly paused, thinking this is really a dream for Rong Changting.

Hua Su snorted indifferently, Bi Tong was cold, "You don't need to say thank you."

Rong Li hesitated to speak, this ghost made such a special remark, as if he wanted her to thank her.

After walking for a long time, the carriage suddenly heard a loud voice, and finally reached the river under Huawu Mountain.

The river around the mountain is not turbulent, the water is thick and green, just like winding silk, and the wooden bridge on the river trembles in the wind.

The groom left behind the chariot at the foot of the mountain, and the master, wife and young lady went up the bridge, followed by several maidservants carrying precious candles and incense sticks.

The river was rushing under the bridge. When walking on the bridge, the bridge kept shaking, and the wooden planks creaked under the steps, as if about to fall.

Rong Li didn't panic, she had already died once, the last time she died miserably, if she was drowned this time, it would be better than being beaten to death.

Xiaofu, who was holding her shoulder, kept shaking, her eyes were red from fright, and she muttered to herself: "Don't be afraid, girl, don't be afraid."

The cat lying in Rongli's arms flicked its tail, didn't even bother to raise its eyes, it wasn't afraid at all.

After crossing the bridge is the foot of Huawu Mountain. The Qiushou Temple is on the mountainside, as if born out of nowhere, independent.

The road up the mountain was steep and slippery, surrounded by trees, and the shade of the trees completely covered the soil. Even though the sun was shining, the soil was not warmed and dried. The loess was sticky to the feet along the way, which was really difficult.

Seeing her girl walking slowly with a cat in her arms, Xiaofu simply said: "Girl, if you don't put the cat in my back box."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, not like the chill brought by the mountain wind, but with oppression, which made her feel trembling in the bottom of her heart.

How dare Rong Li wrong this ancestor to stay in the bamboo box, shook his head and said: "I'll just hold it."

"If not... let the servants come and hug me?" Xiaofu asked again hastily.

"I'll hold you, you help me." Rong Li said softly.

Rong Changting glanced back, seeing her unwillingness to let go, he frowned, "Why do you have to hold this thing when you go out?"

Rong Li smiled weakly, "I've never raised such a little thing before, and now I can't bear to let it go."

Meng Xian was sticking to the wooden stick, turned around and saw the cat in her arms, his eyes were full of disgust, and he was extremely displeased.

The maid who was supporting Meng Xian frowned, "Third Madam can't touch these long-haired things, if you touch them, your whole body will itch."

Before Meng Xian could speak, Rong Li said in a soft voice: "I know San Niang doesn't like it, I'll go farther away, and don't let the cat's fur get on San Niang."

This grievance melted into the wind like spices, and people could smell it from far away.

"Is this true?" Rong Changting asked.

Meng Xian froze all over, turned her head and glared at the nearby maid, and reluctantly said: "It's not that I can't get along with it, I didn't expect Li'er to like this cat so much that she even brought it with her when she came to Huawu Mountain."

"I also carried Chuizhu out of the house yesterday, and I didn't dare to get too close to Sanniang." Rong Li said lightly, "If Sanniang really doesn't like it, Li'er will put it on the carriage."

I've been walking for quite a while now, and I'm afraid it will take a while to go back.

"Take it with you, it's windy on the mountain, and all the animal hair won't come to you." Rong Changting was very displeased.

Meng Xian lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes: "The master is right."

Rong Li lowered her eyes, the mountain wind was blowing towards her face, her forehead was disheveled, the red ribbon was faintly visible in her hair, the corner of her mouth covered by the hair was slightly raised, "I'll walk slowly, it happens that I'm weak, walk for a while I'm going to take a break."

Hua Su, who was attached to Chui Zhu's body, snorted coldly, her round blue eyes were cold and heartless, "You knew she couldn't touch this four-legged beast."

Rong Li nodded his head, the extent of the nod was barely noticeable.

Really cunning, Hua Su scoffed again.

Not to mention a human being, even if it was a demon or a devil, she would never despise such a secret game of tricks.But Hua Su doesn't feel bored now, on the contrary, she thinks the girl's complacent appearance after she succeeds... is interesting.

Along the way, Rong Li really walked very slowly, and he had to stop for a long time after a few steps, but Rong Changting was waiting for her, so Meng Xian had to follow her far away, wrinkling the handkerchief in her hand all over.

The door of Qiushou Temple was wide open, and the smell of incense and incense wafted from the temple, and the big bell at the door remained motionless.

Rong Changting waited outside the gate of the temple, Si Zhao showed no expression on his face, but Meng Xian looked around for a while.

Rong Li sat on the rock for a while, he had almost rested, but he didn't get up immediately, instead he still lowered his brows and eyes, his complexion was as pale as onyx, and he looked very pitiful.

"If the girl can't walk anymore, if you don't let the slaves carry it." Xiaofu said distressedly.

Chui Zhu called coldly in Rongli's arms a few times, short and perfunctory.

"You have clearly rested." Hua Su said lightly.

Rong Li hugged the cat, shook his head and looked at Xiao Fu, "You can't walk steadily by yourself, so don't be brave."

Xiao Fu pursed her lips, "That girl rest a little longer, let's walk slowly, I don't know if the masters and wives have arrived at the Qiushou Temple."

"It's time to arrive." Rong Li said.

She raised her head and looked up the mountainside, and she could vaguely see a cornice protruding from the mountain wall, with overlapping green branches and sparse green leaves.

This Qiushou Temple looks the same, but it is clean, not even a bit of ghost energy can be seen, it is completely different from Jingyin Temple.

The black cat lying in her arms was also looking up, its blue eyes were clear, but their eyes were very cold, like a ghost.

Hua Su suddenly said: "There is a corpse in the temple."

Rong Li took a sniff. Although her nose and eyes were much sharper than before after getting Hua Su, she couldn't smell the corpse smell from Hua Su's mouth. She didn't know what the smell was, so she guessed it should be related to ghost smell. No difference.

"I just passed away not long ago, it should have been eight hours." Hua Su's voice was light.

Rong Li frowned slightly, there are so many monks in the temple, it is not surprising that there are dead people, there must be some sick and old people.

But it was very strange to say these words from Hua Su's mouth, eight hours, that was yesterday, maybe it was still when the fog started.

"Go into the temple and have a look." Hua Su lowered his head, his blue eyes lightly closed, and said in a low voice, "This mountain is hundreds of feet high and stretches for nearly three miles. If you look at it up and down, you can see the aura of corpses, but no ghosts. It's strange."

Only then did Rong Li stand up, and said to Xiao Fu: "Let's go, rest well."

In front of the temple gate, Rong Changting waited for a long time, and almost called his servants to go down to have a look. Fortunately, before calling, he saw Rong Li and Xiao Fu climbing up from the stone steps.

The maidservant who was following Rong Changting held a candle and incense sticks, her eyes lit up, "Miss is here."

"It's been a long time." Rong Li coughed twice, looked around, and said softly, "I rested below for a while, my legs are a little weak."

The temple was completely silent, and there was not even a monk sweeping the floor inside. The incense in the hall was still burning, and the green smoke wafted up against the wind.

"It's okay, since we're all here, let's go in." Rong Changting said.

Si Zhao took the precious candles and incense sticks from the handmaid's hand, one pair of precious candles, and three sticks of incense sticks.

This Qiushou Temple is not too big, and there is no stele archway. After passing through the mountain gate, you will arrive at the temple. There are fish swimming in the release pond on the right.

Rong Changting did not enter the Heavenly King Hall on the side, but went directly to the Daxiong Hall, turned around and said: "Share the incense."

Si Zhao shared the incense, turned back and handed it to Rongli, and said softly, "Li'er has a sincere heart, what you ask for will surely come true."

Rong Li took it and said with a smile, "I hope so."

She was still holding the cat in her arms, so it was not easy to light the incense, so Xiaofu simply lit it for her, and then she put it into the incense cauldron herself.

Xiao Fu wanted to take the cat away, but Rong Li turned sideways to avoid her hand, knelt down on the futon, and put the cat beside him.

The black cat lay quietly on the ground, with a pair of blue eyes turning slowly, looking at the palace.

There were still no monks in the temple, and it was surprisingly quiet, not even the sound of chanting sutras.

When Rongli kowtowed, when his head was almost touching the ground, he raised his eyes slightly, and suddenly saw the figure in the back half of the Buddha statue.

No, it's not a human figure, that shadow is vague and clearly a ghost.

But she clearly couldn't smell the slightest ghost aura, the shadow was as faint as a puddle of water.

How could the ghost stay in the Daxiong Palace and hide behind the Buddha statue? How could this ghost not be afraid?

Rong Li pushed his forehead down, and when he straightened up, he couldn't see any ghost.She turned her head slightly, and looked at another place without any trace, but she still couldn't find the ghost, as if it was hiding.

She suddenly remembered that when Hua Su clearly said that there were no ghosts in the mountain just now, what she saw must not be a ghost. If it wasn't a ghost, what could it be?

Si Zhao, who was kneeling on one side, closed his eyes tightly and muttered to himself, while Rong Changting stood with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the huge Buddha statue in front of him.

Just as Rong Li wanted to pick up the pendant pearl, he didn't expect the cat to run away, so thin and small, it jumped like a mouse, and went straight to the place where the monk lived behind the arch.

"Cat!" Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran to chase after her.

Rong Li got up and followed, panting and running, in the blink of an eye, the cat's figure disappeared behind the arch.

Xiao Fu stopped in front of the arch, not daring to step in. It is not easy for a girl to break into the place where the monk lives.

Rong Li patted her on the shoulder and said: "I'll go find Chui Zhu, you wait outside."

Xiao Fu wondered: "But here is..."

"It doesn't matter." Rong Li chuckled, "I went in to find the cat, and I didn't do anything rebellious."

Xiao Fu hesitated, "If you don't let the servants in, the girl will just wait."

"I'm coming, I'll go in and call it, and it will follow me, you wait here, so that the masters and wives don't know where I have gone for a while." Rong Li walked in, flicked his sleeves, and secretly drew the painting Hold tight.

The row of houses behind the arch are all closed doors, the house is quiet and silent, it seems that there is really no monk in this temple.

Rong Li slowed down his pace, just now he ran in a hurry, his chest was burning badly, he had to raise his hand to hold it down, panting for breath.Her eyes were red, and she swayed every step of the way, as weak as if she would collapse in the wind.

Walking slowly along this row of houses, she didn't dare to call Hua Su's name, so she could only lower her voice and ask, "Where have you been?"

The roof tiles creaked suddenly, a black cat was squatting on the cornice, its green eyes were quietly looking down at her.

"Did you see it just now?" Hua Su asked quietly.
