Chapter 26: [Ghost House]
...
"The scenery of this yard is good, with flowers and grass, so I decided to move here." Ao Wu made his request.
But this request scared the housekeeper so much that he opened his mouth: "Ah?!"
Looking at his expression, it seemed like he was a ghost.
"What's wrong?"
"Son-in-law, no one wants to live in this yard..." The housekeeper became a little embarrassed.
"What's inconvenient to say?" Ao Wu said deliberately, "Does the butler also regard me as an outsider?"
Just after the hang, this identity conflict became a sensitive point between Ao Wu and the Zhong family. As soon as this said, the housekeeper's face turned solemn, afraid that Ao Wu would think a lot, and quickly explained: "No, my son-in-law is not an outsider, but the matter in this yard is a bit scary, and Alang told him not to spread it. Since my son-in-law wants to listen, I will tell you. After the old man died, everyone found that the flowers and plants in this yard grew much faster than those outside. Even in winter, the grass outside was withered yellow, and the grass here was still green and growing constantly. Everyone didn't know what was going on, but they also felt a little afraid in their hearts."
"So, no one was willing to come in. Later, a monk pointed out that he wanted to live in this yard. Everyone thought that the monk might be able to keep the yard, so he agreed. With the monk living in the yard and often trimming flowers and plants, he was a bit popular and could not see the flowers and plants growing wildly. But a few years later, the monk passed away in the yard. The flowers and plants in the yard grew wilder than before, and everyone was even more afraid to come here, so no one came in again, and they didn't even dare to come here."
He continued: "Alang asked not to spread the news about the yard, so I only came over to trim these crazy flowers and plants when I was idle. This was just cut off ten days ago and it grew like this again!"
Cut it off ten days ago? The growth rate is really scary. No wonder ordinary people from the Zhong family are so scared that they dare not come in.
The reason why the vegetation grew wildly was of course the spiritual energy of the purple-hearted umbrella grass. Ao Wu thought of the monk who was staying here, and he pointed out that he must know the existence of the purple-hearted umbrella grass. In this way, there were also cultivators in ancient times, which forced Ao Wu to be alert in his heart. If he met in the future, he would not know whether it was an enemy or a friend.
Speaking of this, the housekeeper thought that this scholarly son-in-law who had always been weak should be scared and dared not say that he would live in this yard again.
However, Ao Wu ordered: "The housekeeper finds a few servants to clean the yard."
"Ah?" The housekeeper was shocked again.
Then he advised: "Son-in-law, although you and your wife sleep in separate rooms, you are still the husband and wife. It is not good to move out. Moreover, this yard is not as simple as you think. It is very scary. I have come here several times and I have heard ghost sounds and saw ghosts, but I cannot live in anyone."
He actually suspected that Ao Wu and his wife had to separate because they had a bad relationship, and then exaggeratedly scared Ao Wu.
Ao Wu smiled, "If you don't ask someone, I'll do it myself."
After saying that, he found a sickle in the yard and removed the weeds in the middle of the yard. When the butler saw that he was serious, he hurriedly said, "Okay, son-in-law, I'll ask someone to clean it up."
The servant called by the housekeeper seemed to be crazy about the horns, and his body trembled constantly. The housekeeper beat and scolded him from behind and walked into the yard. Seven or eight people made the yard a little popular. Four were weeding in the yard, and four entered the only second-floor loft to clean up.
The attic looks a little old, but it is not difficult to see that it was also a very exquisite attic back then. I had not entered the attic before and saw it. Ao Wu ordered the servants who were weeding: "Put off the grass in the aisle first, and the ivy on the south wall are not allowed to touch me!"
Then he entered the attic and saw that the first floor was being cleaned up, and the room was flying full of dust. The decorations in the room were very simple. He glanced over and there was nothing special. He walked out and went up to the second floor.
There is a bedroom and a study on the second floor. There is a thick layer of gray on the desk. Under the desk, there is a mark made of spiritual energy. There is indeed something.
He walked over, squatted down to look under the desk, and gently stroked the clothes on his chest. A knife was added in his hand. The tip of the knife pried on the wooden board, and a crack appeared. He broke the wooden gap with his fingers, and a thin piece of wood was broken down, and a piece of cloth floated down and fell on his hand.
There are words on the white cloth sheet, not written in ink, but burnt marks made of iron. Although the above is written in traditional Chinese characters in cursive script, I am a well-educated person and can still understand this thing.
"I was fortunate to be given by God and realized it for more than 80 years. I have achieved a small success in the Tao. But how could a disaster come to me? I got this treasure land in my later years and finally could not escape my fate. If someone who is destined to come here, I will truly inherit a certain mantle."
This is not good for ancient people. They did not use punctuation marks to write such a short suicide note. Ao Wu had to cut off the sentences several times before he could read it smoothly. It was really laborious.
After the sentence is broken, look at the content again, which makes people complain again. The suicide note does not leave its name from beginning to end. Who knows who you are for such a suicide note? I am really worried about your IQ.
Lenovo’s housekeeper just said that a monk had lived here and hung up here again, so this suicide note was most likely left by the old bald donkey.
The first three sentences mean that a pie fell from the sky brought him on the road of cultivation. He practiced for more than 80 years, and he snot and tears along the way, and finally achieved some small achievements. The next sentence is wrong.
Everyone knows that he is thirty, and he is not confused at forty, and he is 50 at fifty. In other words, this sentence refers to fifty years old. But this old bald donkey clearly said that he had practiced for more than eighty years, and he was at least 80 years old, and he was more likely to be ninety years old. Suddenly, he said that he was only fifty years old. He was rejuvenated, or did he suffer from Alzheimer's disease, and regarded himself as an old man in his fifty years old?
Your thinking is really hard to understand!
Skip this place, the treasure land behind refers to this yard. There is a spiritual herb here. The old bald donkey is a pit, and the spiritual herb is not a word. It just doesn't tell the person who found the suicide note that there is spiritual herb. You will be destined to find the grass, and you will not be destined to find the grass. If you don't find the grass, you will not be destined to find it. Grass, I will use my middle finger to greet your soul.
The robe and bowl behind means that the old bald donkey has some practice techniques left behind.
But the old bald donkey is a bad guy who has been trapped all the way. The suicide note does not mention where the relics are. Under the desk, only the suicide note is hidden with wooden pieces, and nothing else is left. Use the middle finger to greet your soul again and tell others that there are relics, which makes people feel itchy, but they can’t find the relics. Isn’t it just a pity?
The wooden stairs made footsteps, and Ao Wu hurriedly came out from under the desk, patted the dust of his clothes and spider silk, walked out, and ran into the front with the butler, "Son-in-law, Mr. Fang is here to visit you."
Hearing this, Ao Wu immediately refused to meet. He only had the memory of the scholar's memory the night before he hanged him. He didn't know who Mr. Fang was. Didn't he expose himself after going out? "I'm still sick and it's not convenient to meet guests, so you can quit me."
"Mr. Fang has a good relationship with his son-in-law. Last time he caught a cold, you asked him to enter the room to express his friendship..." The butler's donkey face told him, is it not good to quit now?
"The patient is the most serious, and the disease I have may be infected. What if I get infected when I meet? Hello, hey, I asked you to use this excuse to go out for Mr. Fang, why are you hiding?"
Seeing the butler go down, Ao Wu picked up the old bald donkey's suicide note and looked at it, then put it in his arms.
The housekeeper came back and said that he had sent Mr. Fang, but Mr. Zhang came to visit him. He asked the housekeeper to send him away again, but this time he didn't drive Mr. Zhang away. Mr. Lin and Mr. Wang came. Unexpectedly, the Xiucai had such a good connection during his lifetime. There were so many people visiting him when he was sick. It seemed that he was not so failed in life. He was sent all of them.
The weeds in the yard were about to start lunch at noon and had just been removed. Ao Wu asked someone to stop and rest, and then clean the pool after dinner.
Walking from the East Courtyard to the hall, you have to pass the road that comes in through the gate. When Ao Wu comes back, he meets a scholar who is walking out. This should be a young man who is here to visit Ao Wu's condition. It's broken. This makes the housekeeper send someone, but he ends up meeting him here.
While considering whether to turn around and leave immediately, the young man had already reached out to say hello to him: "Hey, this brother doesn't need to go in. Butler Zhong Xie Ke, you don't have the chance to see the most beautiful lady!"
A pity tone.
Ao Wu was stunned. Is the amount of information about this sentence too much?
Who are you visiting? I am right in front of you and you don’t even know me. Are you here to visit me?
And there was no cover, so I just said that I was here to see the most beautiful lady.
This forced Ao Wu to think that these people came to visit Ao Wu verbally, but in fact they wanted to see the cold and beautiful first lady up close.
Damn, I just said that scholars did not fail as human beings, but now I realize that they have failed completely!
"It's okay, please ask first." Ao Wu said to him with a friendly smile on his face.
After seeing off the man, Ao Wu turned dark and went inside, grabbed the butler and asked, "Did these people often come to my house to find me in the past?"
"Uh? Yes..." The housekeeper was confused. What's the matter with the son-in-law?
Ao Wu sneered, "In the future, these people will be sent away for me, and no one will be seen!"
Looking at his sneering look, the butler actually saw Zhong Qing's appearance. It was so cold that it made people tremble.
He nodded quickly.
After lunch, Ao Wu went to the East Courtyard again and planned to clean the pool. There are purple-hearted umbrella grass in the pool, as well as other aquatic plants. It is not good to stay in too much aquatic plants, so it needs to be removed. We need to find a reason to leave purple-hearted umbrella grass. The best reason is to plant the scenery.
As soon as he commanded people to go into the water, a icy voice sounded from behind: "Langjun, why are you moving to the East Courtyard to live?"
