Chapter 142

The woman gave the cake to Lan Hui again, and Qi Tan shouted: "Little Shadow, don't eat it!"

The woman turned around, and the ghost pounced on Qi Tan, pulled out a dagger, put it on his neck, and said gently: "If you don't let him eat, is it because you want to eat it?"

Qi Tan grabbed the cake in one bite, bite a large piece, and chewed it hard a few times: "Haha, it's not bad. How about it?"

The woman smiled softly again: "You child, wouldn't it be enough to do this long ago? Why do you have to ask for a fight?"

There was another movement from the entrance of the cave. Amaranth climbed down the ladder again. She still held the basket just now, took out the previous bowl of porridge and sent it to Lanhui's mouth.

"Drink, it's really not poisonous."

The woman put away the dagger on Qi Tan's neck, stepped over, raised her hand and slapped Amaranth in the face.

A little porridge was spilled out from the hand of Amaranth, she stepped back a little, took out a small spoon from the basket, scooped it up and sent it to Lan Hui's mouth.

The woman squatted and gently wiped the porridge stains on Lan Hui's body: "When I get there, my aunt will change you new clothes."

Amaranth smiled at him: "Drink it."

Lan Hui shivered and silently opened her mouth to drink the porridge.

Amaranth fed Lan Hui a spoonful of spoonfuls of porridge. The woman also fed Qi Tan and ate the cake. She asked him to drink some water. Then, she took out the dagger.

Qi Tan's expression froze. Lan Hui shivered for a moment, but Aunt Cai used a dagger to cut the rope on Qi Tan's hand, then opened the chains on his feet and body, and then untied Lan Hui.

"Come on, be good, go up with your aunt."

Lan Hui looked at the hole where the bright sunshine was shining, and the hairs on her neck stood up.

“Where to go?”

Aunt Cai touched the top of his head: "Be good, hurry up."

Lan Hui took a breath, walked to the ladder, and slowly climbed up.

The dazzling sunshine made him squint his eyes. Around him were broken walls and broken bricks, mostly burnt black. Withered vines covered it, dotted with clusters of newly emerging green buds this spring.

A gray bird squatted on a wall and looked at Lan Hui from afar. Aunt Cai, Qi Tan and Amaranth also climbed up one after another. Lan Hui followed Aunt Cai around a wall. The gray bird flapped its wings and flew away. A donkey stood in the open space just blocked by the wall. Behind him was a cart, and there were a few grass piles beside the cart.

Lan Hui and Qi Tan suddenly felt relieved.

Aunt Cai asked them to walk to the side of the car, took out two more bottles and handed them to them: "Be good, drink it, it's sweet."

Qi Tan and Lan Hui's expressions became stiff again.

Amaranth sneered at Qi Tan, "I'm afraid, don't worry, I'll only sleep after drinking it. It's not time to kill you."

Aunt Cai turned around like lightning, slapped her twice again, and turned around, but still had a gentle smile on her face at Lan Hui and Qi Tan.

"Be good, drink it."

Lan Hui stiffly reached out to take the bottle, and Qi Tan took the other bottle with an indifferent look. Amaranth stood behind Aunt Cai and smiled provocatively at Qi Tan, as if nothing had happened just now.

Only then did Lan Hui notice that in addition to her cheeks, her eyes were also red, with purple edges and foreheads, and scars on her wrists and exposed arms.

The water in the bottle tasted the same as what he had drunk before, and it was indeed sweet. He swallowed it, followed Aunt Cai's words and lay on the cart. Before he lost consciousness, he saw a lot of grass covering it.

Qi Tan said in a hard voice: "Remember to leave a breathable place for this brother."

Neither Aunt Cai nor Amaranth answered him, and more grass was covered.

After Feng Tai asked the village chief and Li Zheng, he went to check the house again. Before too long, the constable brought several women living nearby. The women knelt down and said they didn't know much about Huang. In the past two days, except for being questioned by the official mission this morning, they did not see anything special or heard any strange noises. They didn't know what Huang did at home except to go to work. The world can be seen, so please let the prefect inspect it clearly.

Feng Tai took action: "I said that you are here, not asking about these things. Just ask about one thing. Huang Zhiniang usually worships the gods, does she worship the grandma on the mountain for a long time?"

There is a smell of incense in the main hall, but there is no statue of the gods. The incense burner and incense utensils are all contained in a low cabinet. There is a small case next to the cabinet, and the futon stands below. There are traces on both sides of the desk and it is often moved. There are incense ash falling from the front door of the main hall.

Ordinary families, statues of gods and ancestral tablets are all placed in the upper heads of the house.

People worship the sky and the moon, and most of them are in the courtyard.

However, Huang Zhiniang was worshiping a case and burning incense at the door of the main hall, which seemed inappropriate to all kinds of worship styles.

The door of this main hall faces the direction of Shounian Mountain.

A woman shouted: "Sir, you are right!" Feng Tai's eyebrows slightly spread.

The village head next to him immediately scolded: "I rudely, bow my head and reply, and quickly apologize to the Lord."

Feng Tai raised his hand to stop him: "No need, I will ask you again, Huang Zhiniang believes in grandma, if she is sincere."

The woman knocked her head a few times: "The civilian woman went back to the palace to ask, "Sincere, so sincere! There is nothing more sincere than her! She went up the mountain to burn incense, and she kowtowed her step by step, and the other end was sturdy..."

Feng Tai cut off her words: "Did she go elsewhere to burn incense besides grandma?"

Another woman answered: "No, she only believes in Grandma Cishou and tells people about her grandma's effectiveness."

Feng Tai said: "What kind of effectiveness?"

The woman curled her lips: "Report to the Grand Master of the Prefecture, the Grand Master of the Prefecture, that Huang... I believe that the Grand Master of the Prefecture already knows it, it is different from ordinary people. The things and words in her eyes are different from those of ordinary people. Like Grandma Cishou, such a compassionate old god, who brings blessings, longevity, and children and grandchildren to everyone. We all sincerely worship them. Every year, we invite the largest golden-body boy in the best shop in the city to honor her. Huang never invites the boy, but also tells us that we offer sacrifices to the boy and are disrespectful to grandma."

Feng Tai's eyes narrowed: "Why are you disrespectful?"

The woman said, "I'll be punished if I commit fraud. I've hit the incense burner and forced the people on the mountain to lift it down. Anyway, she never said good things. Nine out of ten sentences were to curse people. Everyone knows that she was like that, and no one cares about her."

Another woman said, "Yes, if you disrespect your grandma, you will take away all the blessings you gave and even more blame. You will curse it bloodily and you will not hear it. That is, people in the countryside and villages have kind hearts. Her father has accumulated virtue before, and he just thinks that he has heard the birds cry, and who cares about half of the crazy people."

Feng Tai said in a deep voice: "Have she ever said that she was blessed and punished?"

The woman said, "Yes, she said that her daughter was given by her grandma, and marriage was also true. If her father had lost her child, she would be punished. Alas, her illness was like... in front of the master, we won't say much. The Taoist priest also said that this is a woman who was trapped by the devil. Grandma Cishou is merciful and will not care about her verbal mistakes."

Feng Tai said: "Can you know how she goes to Shounian Mountain to burn incense? Which path is it?"

Several women looked at each other, and one of them said, "On weekdays, she doesn't have much contact with others, so she goes to burn it by herself. Anyway, she goes early. Every time we go to Shounian Mountain to burn incense, even if we live at the foot of the mountain the day before, and if we go up the mountain the next day, she will definitely arrive in front of us. I don't know why she is so fast."

Feng Tai called the guards.

"So quickly send the order of this mansion to search the paths from here to Shounian Mountain, pay attention to the uninhabited houses and dilapidated temples, and ask passers-by if they have seen a woman or a girl over ten years old and a push-pull cart!"

On the bumpy dirt road in the sun, the skinny donkey pulled the cart and walked forward.

The coachman sat on the front of the car, constantly whipping the whip, urging the donkey to speed up.

The worn-out hat covered most of his face, and the thick and thick veil coat on his body was even more difficult to find out. "He" was actually a thin woman.

Looking at the road extending to the distant mountains, the woman's eyes were hotter than the sun.

quick.

It's almost done.

It's coming soon.

This mistake can be made up immediately!

The civilian woman bows respectfully and sincerely, hoping that all sins can be forgiven and all punishments can be avoided.

Quick, as soon as possible!

The guard rushed to pass the order quickly. The village chief looked at Feng Tai, his face pale: "Sir, Huang Zhiniang really tied up the son of the Minister of Rites?"

Feng Tai glanced in the yard, except for the coldness, without any other expression: "This woman is hysterical and silly and believes in the divine way. She tied up children not for money. Using evidence, two intentions can be drawn, one is to confine and raise them. But before she left, she burned incense, and the mansion thought it was more likely to be two."

The village head and Li Zheng were shocked.

"Sir, the second is..."

Feng Tai briefly said two words: "Premended."

If you are made of paper, you are cheating. If you are a real person, you are sincere.
Chapter completed!
