Chapter 94 The best of both worlds
"Xiaolan's last reminder shouldn't be fake. She treated me as her brother at that time."
Tongguan said to Chang Nian beside him while packing his equipment.
That reminder, accompanied by the blood in Xiaolan's neck, made them still unforgettable.
"Don't drink the water from the mansion."
What does this mean? Maybe others can't hear it.
However, the clerk who had been wandering between ghosts and death several times realized it almost instantly.
Water, seems to be a key message in this mission.
And Tongguan was immediately reminded of the "dead road"!
Could it be that the rule of ghosts killing people is that all living people who drink water in the mansion?
In fact, Tongguan has always been quite doubting this because Fang Shenyan was attacked by ghosts at that time, but he did not drink water.
On the contrary, Tongguan, Chang Nian, Yu Guo and Tao Xiaoyi did drink tea from the mansion during the first meeting.
But they were still fine.
Only Fang Shenyan, a person who had never drunk water, was tortured to death.
However, Tongguan still used this as a backup method.
He shook the portable kettle in his hand, and a clanging sound came from inside, and half a pot of water was stored in it.
"I poured half a pot of tea prepared by Li's mansion.
When something really happens, I will ask Chen Fu to drink and pull him to the same starting line with us.
If we violate the dead end and are attacked, he will not be better.
Perhaps, this is how we get rid of constraints…”
This plan sounds good.
It is both the best of both worlds, and it can also be judged as the true meaning of Xiaolan's prompt.
However, after hearing this, Chang Nian put down the backpack in his hand, took the kettle worriedly, and asked tentatively:
“But, contact with water is not a dead end.
Moreover, Chen Fu didn’t know that there were ghosts in the mansion and that the water source was an opportunity for attack. Wouldn’t we be in vain?”
Tongguan nodded, and the worry that I always thought was reasonable.
But he held the backpack in his hand and said softly:
"In fact, it may be a mistake for us to take the initiative to face the conflict between red and white at the beginning.
Now that you are being chased by ghosts, threatened by Chen Fu, your initiative is lost. You and I can only hope that the plan will work, that's all."
Yu Guo on the other side had already packed up his things and was located in the yard of the North Courtyard, sitting upright on a stone bench.
Fang Shenyan, who was wrapped around his neck with a pale face, said softly:
"What do you think the old woman will do if she wants to find us?"
Fang Shenyan ignored him, and he really couldn't help him. There was a burning swelling pain on his neck.
Not only can I speak, but I even feel very uncomfortable in breathing.
He pushed the newly replaced spare glasses, staring at the cigarette box in front of him, but he couldn't smoke one.
"Can it be lunch? It's time? I'm really hungry."
Tao Xiaoyi also heard Yu Guo’s question and replied indifferently.
When Yu Guodai heard this, he knew that this was a joke, but he also said with a smile:
"I guess that's right. The Li family has a great career. Will we have some delicacies and enjoy our appetite?"
"The meal should be prepared, but it may be because we have to spend some time working next."
At this time, the Tongguan couple who had prepared from the bedroom walked out of the door and looked up at the gloomy weather.
There was an ominous sign in my heart, but I didn't take it too seriously, and I just responded to Yu Guo's words softly.
He could roughly guess what the old woman wanted them to do and the funeral.
However, it is unknown whether this time the funeral will be held or the fake funeral will be held.
Up to now, according to Fang Shenyan's information, their funeral was to achieve a purpose similar to a sacrifice.
The object of the sacrifice was a strange portrait.
Judging from Fang Shenyan's records, the female ghost in red they encountered before should be the ghost bride in the portrait.
The act of funeral should be the process of sacrifice.
But Tongguan hasn't figured out until now, what is the purpose of their doing this?
A few people followed the maid who had been waiting for a long time and rushed to Dongtang.
On the way, I learned that the maid's name was Xiaozhu, which seemed to echo Xiaolan's name.
Yu Guo also asked tentatively: "You Li's Mansion, have you put all the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums together? Where are the little chrysanthemums?"
But Xiaozhu obviously had a much stiffer temper and sneered in disgust and ignored him.
Along the way, they spent laughing and fighting, and no one showed enough worry on their faces.
It’s just that everyone knows it from Fang Shenyan’s records.
Chen Fu, today I want them to die.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Yu Guo's eyes shone brightly. In front of them was a long and wide solid wood table.
There are five chairs placed on both sides, and the dishes on the table are extremely rich.
Five people, after talking about at least fifteen dishes, stretched from the top of the table to the end of the table.
"Li's Mansion is so generous. It's true that he is so poor that he only has money left."
Yu Guo walked down with a big golden sword, picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, shouted to Xiaozhu next to him, "Come on a bowl of four taels of rice!"
The other few people also sat down separately, but no one except Yu Guo and Tao Xiaoyi went to eat this job.
Tongguan and Chang Nian were afraid of the tips Xiaolan said before his death, while Fang Shenyan was injured, so it would be troublesome if he took it.
"Mrs. I said, you eat first, and then talk about the important matter after eating. Please give me a visit!"
Xiaozhu brought two more friends to serve at the dining table, and turned around to the back hall and left the clerks here.
Fang Shenyan turned his head and looked at the two silly servants who had never said a word since they came in.
Almost all the servants and maids of the Li Mansion ran away and died, leaving only a few maids around the ladies and the servants in the stables.
The two servants, sweating on their faces, and their palms trembled. They must be the so-called "temporary workers" employed by the town.
Just as Yu Guo and others were having a feast, a servant hurriedly ran over from the outside.
Fang Shenyan stared at him and observed that this man was also a strange face.
The man whispered in the ears of two slaughtermen serving rice, and then the man who served rice showed horror in his eyes.
The porcelain bowl that was filled with rice for Tao Xiaoyi fell to the ground and broke in response to the sound.
This made Tao Xiaoyiton feel dissatisfied, but after looking at the man, he also noticed something was wrong. He looked around and didn't speak again.
After a while, the servant put down the rice spoon and bowed 90 degrees.
He muttered to the clerks: "Masters, there are some urgent matters here, so we can only go and do our job first."
After saying this, the three servants flew out of the lobby almost quickly and ran in one direction.
Fang Shenyan always looked at all this, and this direction was the backyard!
At this moment, Yu Guo picked up a chopstick and stuffed the dish into his mouth, while saying vaguely:
"The person who came said something happened in the backyard, and the four people carrying the coffin died of some reason.
Chapter completed!
