After leaving Meng Xian's house, Rongli went back to the room and let Kong Qing go in to stare at Meng Xian.

Kong Qing responded, and when she entered the room, she heard Rong Li say: "Take good care of the third lady, she is unbearable now, don't let her be in pain for a while... bit her tongue, or hit the wall when she couldn't bear it."

Rongli's breath was weak, and the words he spoke should be soft, soft and soft, but at this moment, there was a chill in his words.

Kong Qing was stunned for a moment, bowed hurriedly, and went to serve the third lady without changing her expression.

Rong Changting went to the government and learned everything from Mr. Luo, but the account manager surnamed Lin still concealed something, and refused to tell the truth from beginning to end, so he had to beat Meng Xian.Furious, he slowly returned to Rong Mansion in a sedan chair.

Last night there was a lot of rumors about some big families being haunted by ghosts, all the sons and daughters were haunted by ghosts, and the people on the road were whispering, wondering if Qi An was too dark and would have to do several rituals to do it.

Rong Changting was in the sedan chair, raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, and heard the city residents outside the sedan chair discussing this matter loudly.

One person said: "Those young masters seem to have bumped into the daughter of the Rong family on Water Street yesterday."

"How can you believe this kind of thing? In this way, there were so many people who saw the eldest daughter of the Rong family on the street that day. How could they be the only ones who encountered ghosts?"

"It's not a 'collision', it's a real collision. The maid of the Rong family didn't look at the way and bumped into someone. My second aunt saw it with her own eyes. The young master of Xiao's mansion chatted with the Rong family girl for a long time." , maybe because of this, it got dirty with something."

"The young master of Xiao's mansion is really big-hearted. When we saw the girl from the Rong family, we always walked around!"

"Perhaps it's because of the beauty of the girl from the Rong family. Although it's a bit unlucky, that face is always pretty."

"Who has the guts to be nice to her..."

"However, Lord Luo knew about this time early, and sent people to preach everywhere, so that we don't spread these nonsense anymore. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Lord Luo and the master of the Rong family have a deep friendship, and it is clear that they want to stop the mouths of the people."

"Shh, isn't that the sedan chair of Rong's mansion, don't talk about it anymore!"

Rong Changting's complexion turned pale, and he didn't know if it was because he heard others slander Rongli, or because...that young master of the Xiao family had spoken to Rongli.

In the courtyard of Rong Mansion, Rong Li was sitting in the room, and a white-faced ghost stepped in through the wall. Its body and face were all crooked, like unfinished paper bundles, it seemed that it couldn't even stand stably, it was very shabby .

Xu Yin came back during the day and saw the sunlight, so his face and body were even more crooked, as if they were sunburned.

The Skinner stood motionless, and stood against the wall after penetrating into it, as if being punished to stand still, without saying a word.

Rong couldn't leave the house, so naturally he didn't know the rumors in the market, looked at it sideways, took a look and then looked away, couldn't bear to look at this shabby thing any more, and asked: "Is it all done?"

The Skinner said in a thin voice, "Sure."

Rong Li nodded slightly, guessing the time, Wan Kui should have invited the government doctor, but I don't know if the doctor will come.

After a while, there were rustling footsteps in the yard, Rongli turned his head to look at the door.

"Only one came back." Hua Su said.

Rong Li was a little surprised, she remembered that the government doctor and Meng Xian were also grasshoppers on the same rope, and now that Meng Xian is in prison, how could the government doctor not come?

It seemed that the hemp rope was broken, and the grasshoppers also capsized in the gutter.

Wankui was very anxious, she quickly walked into the main house, and drove Kong Qing out.

Kong Qing came out of the house, walked back to Rongli's door unhurriedly, knocked on the door and said: "Miss, Wankui is back, it seems that the government doctor has not been invited, what should I do."

Xiao Fu was also outside the door, sitting on the stone steps and playing with her hair. Hearing this, she raised her head slightly, pouted her lips and said: "If you can't get it, you can't get it. Normally, if we want to get a doctor from the government, we may not be able to get them." , do you still think about her?"

Kong Qing didn't respond.

In the room, Rong Li pondered for a while, "Kong Qing, you go, and then said that the eldest girl and I are also sick, and let the government doctor come over in person."

Kong Qing was blessed outside the door, and walked out of the orchid courtyard quickly.

Sitting outside the house, Xiaofu was very puzzled. She thought that her daughter had a heart of a bodhisattva, even if she was wronged again, her heart would still be good.

But Hua Su didn't think so, and said in a low voice, "You don't really want to hire a doctor for her."

Rong Li laughed, "How can I not be sincere, but this heart is not that heart."

Hua Su saw that she was smiling with the corners of her lips raised, and knew that the fox was thinking something wrong again, and shook her head slightly, "You want to expose the fact that Mengshi and the government doctor jointly framed Zhushi?"

Rong Li was honest, nodding his head and said: "Er Niang would have died back then, and the government doctor's contribution was indispensable. At first...it should be able to save her."

She paused, then said slowly: "You see the feng shui turns, it was Erniang who suffered from abdominal pain back then, but now it's her."

Hua Su snorted softly, "If you just want to see her in distress, wait a little longer, now that the puppet fragrance has been released, she will be able to remember all kinds of things in Wuxiang Town after a while."

"I thought I would remember this incense as soon as I took it off." Rong Li blinked.

"No, she is in a state of confusion now, and it will take some time." Hua Su said, "You have burned the triangular talisman in her house to ward off evil. The talisman was originally used to suppress ghost babies. The baby is about to wake up, the red talisman on her body alone may not be able to restrain the ghost baby."

"What's going to happen?" Rong Li didn't see any fear in his eyes, firstly, he had the painting ghost in his hand, and secondly, the big ghost was beside him, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Hua Su said: "When a ghost baby comes into the world, it will be associated with its mother, but Zhu's ashes are still kept in the bamboo yard. You can find a chance to dig it out and destroy it in the altar to restrain it."

Rong Li lowered his eyebrows and said slowly: "Wait a minute, I wanted to remove the restriction for Erniang, but I can't come in person, I have to borrow a pair of hands."

Hua Su stared straight at her, and raised the corner of his mouth for a while, "You have an idea?"

"That's right." Rong Li pushed her chin up, her eyes were curved, she turned them nimbly, and said loudly, "Xiao Fu."

As soon as Xiaofu heard her girl calling her name, she quickly opened the door and entered the room, and said in a low voice, "Miss, what are your orders?"

Rong Li beckoned, "Come in."

Xiaofu walked into the room, turned around and closed the door, wondering why it was so mysterious.

Rong Li drew her closer, staring at Hua Su without blinking, but said into Xiao Fu's ear: "You take some silver taels and find a Taoist priest to arrange it. Tomorrow, the master will find a mage to do it. Tell the Taoist priest to come quickly."

She paused, vaguely feeling that this was not enough, and said again: "Bring a pen and paper."

Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly studied the ink, spread the paper on the table, and presented her girl with a pen dipped in ink.

Rong Li quickly wrote some words, dried the ink, then folded the paper and handed it to Xiao Fu, "Give this letter to the Taoist priest."

Xiaofu quickly reached out to take it, she didn't dare to read what the girl wrote, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, vaguely felt that she couldn't understand what the girl was doing more and more, but she didn't understand, she should do what the girl ordered of.

Rongli pointed to the makeup box in the distance, and said: "I became a Zhuchai last time, and I still have some silver taels left over, take them all."

Xiaofu walked towards the mirror stand, found some broken silver from the makeup box, and hurriedly hid the broken silver in her belt, "I'll go right now."

"Be careful, don't be caught by others." Rong Li said.

Xiaofu went out cautiously, and said to Bai Liu in the yard: "I'll go to Xiudanlou to buy some rice cakes for the girl, you take good care of the girl, and remember to add some charcoal to the girl's sleeve stove later."

Bai Liu was puzzled and said: "Xiu Danlou is very crowded at this time, and I don't know when the girl will be able to eat rice cakes, so it's better to let Paowu make them."

Xiao Fu glanced at her, and walked away without saying much.

Rong Li could hear clearly from inside the room, and said softly: "I don't know how reliable this girl is when she makes up a lie, and she's giving you rice cakes."

Hua Su closed her eyes tightly, and sat motionless on the drum stool. The wind blew up beside her, and her loose braids and black robe flew into the air.

The dark wind whirled around her body, but it didn't touch Rongli at all.

Rong Li looked at it for a while and then closed his eyes, thinking that this ghost should be practicing.

Kong Qing, who went to ask the government doctor, rushed back quickly. The government doctor heard that the eldest girl was ill, and asked for him by name, so how dare she not come, and rushed to Lan Yuan with the medicine box.

Rong Li heard the knock on the door, and answered, "Come in."

Kong Qing pushed open the door, and closed the door after the government doctor entered the house, lest the cold wind outside the house would blow away more than the warmth of the earth dragon.

The government doctor lowered his eyebrows, bowed his hands and put the medicine box at his feet, respectfully.

Rong Li coughed lightly, "Finally the government doctor has been invited."

The government doctor still lowered his eyebrows, and said cautiously: "Is there something wrong with the girl?"

Rong Li said unhurriedly: "My body has never been better since I was born. I have been feeling comfortable every day. After drinking the decoction for so long, my body has not recovered. Instead, I have become much weaker. , it’s not that the medicine prescribed by Xiao’s doctor is not good, it’s that I’m dying and the medicine doesn’t work.”

The government doctor lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"Since that's the case, I've resigned myself to my fate. Naturally, I'm not looking for the doctor for myself, but for Sanniang." In just one sentence, Rong Li spoke intermittently, as if he was about to die.

The government doctor lowered his head even more, "But... that's what the master ordered."

Rong Li looked at him and chuckled lightly, "Father is probably out of breath."

"But master..." The government doctor still has concerns.

Rong Li sighed weakly, her eyes were bright and moist, she didn't seem to be threatening, but her words were really sharp, she said: "I don't want Sanniang to lose her life because of miscarriage. Then there are fortune tellers who say that father restrains wife and children, I didn’t believe such god-spirited things, but there was Erniang first, and now I’m like this, how dare I not believe it.”

The government doctor's pupils shrank suddenly, he didn't expect that she would mention the second wife, Mrs. Zhu.

Rong Li looked at him, without moving his eyes for a moment, and said slowly: "Second Niang should be able to save at the beginning, Mr. is a good doctor, but it's a pity that he came a little late, it's a pity." It's a pity.

After a pause, she continued: "I'm not blaming you, life is not always satisfactory, do you think so?"

"Yes..." the doctor squeezed out a word from his throat.

"The matter of the second mother is irreversible. The third mother is suffering from severe abdominal pain. Go and see her." Rong Li waved his hand, "If father asks, he will say that I am sick. You go to see the doctor for the third lady. By the way."

The mansion doctor bent down to pick up the medicine box, and retreated anxiously. He felt anxiously that the eldest lady seemed to know what he did back then, but where could the eldest lady know about it?

Rong Li stood up, opened the door a crack, saw the government doctor enter Meng Xian's room, raised the corner of his lips, and closed the door again.

The house was darker than the yard, and half of her face was slowly hidden in the shadows, her eyes were surprisingly bright, which didn't match her sickly body.

Bai Liu, who was standing in the yard, saw the vague smile on her face, and was stunned suddenly. She walked over when the door was completely closed, knocked on the door and asked, "Miss, do you want to go to the sleeve stove?" Add charcoal?"

"No, there is still more." Rong Li said in the room.

Hua Su grabbed Rongli's cuff, as if he wanted to take out the painting ghost from his sleeve pocket, but she didn't take it, just said softly: "Pen."

Rongli took out the painting ghost suspiciously, pointed at the light bamboo pen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Draw a bird." Hua Su grasped her wrist, as if teaching her to paint, and flicked the animation in mid-air.

The brush head's wool was originally clean, but when it was waved, thick ink seeped out from the wooden pole, and it seemed like a ghostly aura hung on it, the wool was so black that there was not even a speck of white left.

With just a few strokes, Hua Su took Rongli's hand and drew a bird. The ink in mid-air instantly condensed into shape. The bird's wings fluttered. Godless.

This bird is not like a thing in the world of the sun. Although it looks like a bird, the feathers covering the wings are sparse, and the bones can be vaguely seen, and the dull eyes are as red as blood, with no pupils and a sharp beak. It was bloody, as if it had just eaten meat.

"This is..." Rong Li stared in astonishment, not daring to touch it, the bird was too fierce.

"Bone Owl, also known as Rotten Bone Bird." Hua Su let go of her wrist, and grabbed the bird with flapping wings. "Things in Cangming City."

It looks like an eagle, but its appearance is smaller, and its eyes are round and big.

"Why draw it?" Rongli was puzzled.

"My old department is still hidden in Cangming City. I need to know who else came to Qi'an this time, besides Luo Xia. This bloody mist is not easy. Although I know the general idea in my heart, I can't be sure. "Hua Su grabbed the Bone Owl's wings, stretched out an index finger with the other hand, and put it in front of its beak.

The beak was so sharp that it pierced her finger in one fell swoop.

Hua Su's fingertips immediately oozed blood, but her blood was so red that it was black, and there was still a strong ghostly aura lingering on it.

Rong Li watched intently, remembering in his heart that when the ghost crushed the relics last time, his hands were eroded to the point of bone and flesh, and finally healed, and now he was pecked again.

Fortunately, it was not pecked hard.

The Bone Owl pecked at Hua Su's fingertips, and the ghostly blood seeped into its beak, without any omission.

Hua Su remained calm and didn't feel any pain. As soon as he raised his hand, the Bone Owl flew up and smashed out of the white wall, leaving no black smoke behind.After letting the bone owl go, she rubbed her fingertips, and the wound on her finger healed immediately, so that no one could see a single scar, and even the blood seemed to have slipped back.

Rong Li didn't say a word, and suddenly felt that being a ghost is pretty good. If you die, you will die. Although you will be injured, you will heal quickly. It won't be like she is now...

Looking forward to life and death, he guarded his coffin day and night for ten years.

"When Cai's doctor was here, you said that on purpose." Hua Su said suddenly.

Rong Li's eyelashes trembled, he nodded and said: "I'm just telling the truth, what he thinks has nothing to do with me."

Hua Su hooked the corner of her lips, and approached suddenly, so close, and if she got closer, the cold breath would definitely fall on Rongli's hair.

Rong Li suddenly held his breath, he was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know where to look, as if he was tied upright by a rope and couldn't move.

She moved her lips, and when she spoke, she realized that her voice was half hoarse, "Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"

Hua Su sized her up for a while, then snorted indifferently, and stood up straight again, "Let me see if you turned into a fox after all."

The heat on Rongli's cheeks faded away slowly, and he said mockingly, "If I had the ability to transform from a fox into a human, how could I be in such a miserable situation."

"It was miserable before," Hua Su said calmly and indifferently, with no expression on his face, "It's not like I met you."

Rong Li's pupils trembled, and she lowered her eyes for a long time before she said anything. She didn't know whether meeting this ghost was a blessing or a disaster, but the enmity in her previous life could probably be repaid.

The house she lived in was on a gravel road from Meng Xian's main house, not too close, but not too far away.

Hua Suju could hear the movement in the room clearly, she sat down, looked at the city scene picture on the desk, and said, "Do you want to know what the two of them said in the room?"

Rongli: "Think."

This is not concealed. When facing Hua Su, she was sincere for at least half of the time.

Hua Su's eyes flickered, and he looked at the town of Wuxiang on the map again, and tapped twice with his bent index finger, "Mengshi didn't say anything, probably because he was in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound, but this doctor said a lot. .”

"What did you say?" Rong Li asked.

Hua Su said: "The government doctor asked her if there was someone else telling me about the past."

Rong Li squinted his eyes, went to lift up the window beside the mirror stand, the cold wind penetrated into the room, and the gauze and bead curtains rolled up randomly.Standing here, she could vaguely see a corner of the main house, the door was closed tightly, and Wankui stood guard outside the house.

Hua Su said again: "Mengshi said no, and asked him why he asked such a question, and the doctor told her exactly what you just said."

"It's okay, I just want them to know." Rong Li looked at the corner of the main house, "How much do I know, they don't know what to do, and they have ghosts in their hearts, so they are more afraid."

Hua Su glanced at her, and said again: "Mengshi asked the government doctor to save her. If the fetus is safe, I can give him 700 taels of silver."

"700 taels of silver..." Rong Li read softly, "It turns out that the 700 taels that the government failed to catch are really with her."

Hua Su listened quietly to the movement in the distance, after a while, he said without changing his expression: "The doctor of the government came down and said that once the matter is over, he will return to his hometown and will not stay in Rong's residence again."

Rong Li chuckled, "The government doctor is scared, the account manager has been arrested by the government, if he doesn't leave, he will be next." She saw Wan Kui walking around outside the main house, staring at Bai Liu from time to time, She closed the window, feeling meaningless, and stopped looking at it.

Hua Su looked at the map on the case, raised his eyelids suddenly, and said in a low voice: "The government doctor gave the injection, and I have to go now."

"Then let him go." Rong Li walked away from the window, approached the wooden case, and asked: "The puppet incense has been removed, when will Meng Xian remember everything?"

"In a hurry?" Hua Su looked sideways at her.

Rong Li shook her head, but she felt anxious in her heart, the sooner this matter is over, the better, she doesn't want to stay in this Rong Mansion for a moment.

Seeing her hesitating to speak, Hua Su knew that the fox must have lied to her again, so she didn't point it out, and said calmly: "Wait for half a day, she will remember at night, don't be in a hurry."

There is nothing else to do today, Qi An has many Taoist temples, it is not difficult to find a Taoist priest.

The reason why Rongli didn't let Xiaofu go to find a monk was because there was a monk with the name of Dharma Zijue first, and now he is dubious about the monk in Qi'an City, and there was a ghost pretending to be a monk before, thinking about it this way, it's still Taoist priests are more reliable.

Rong Li pondered for a while, "Luo Xia and this bloody ghost are unlikely to get along with each other."

Hua Su looked at her sideways, "Why did you say that?"

Rong Li said in a soft voice: "Luo Xia wants to use the formation of mortals to kill you, many little ghosts in the city may have suffered because of that formation, but the ghosts who came this time wanted to make the city full of ghosts, and then make them Fight head-to-head, so as to create a powerful thing to replace you."

There was no emotion in Hua Su's eyes, and there was even a bit of disdain on his calm face, "Ghosts always come and go alone, and it should be right if they don't get together."

Rong Li was surprised, "But you didn't have many subordinates before..."

Hua Su lightly said: "Sometimes, others follow you, not because they respect you or trust you, but because they are afraid of you."

Rong Li lowered his eyes, looked straight at the big ghost with a little cinnabar between his brows after a while, and asked slowly: "Do you think I respect you, or am I afraid of you?"
