Chapter 31: Ghostly Shadow
"As long as you are here, I won't be afraid."
Zhou Xiaodu was stunned for a moment, then straightened his face and scolded: "You kid, don't act like a baby."
Zhima frowned slightly and said aggrievedly: "I'm not acting coquettishly... I'm just telling the truth. Now we are in a passive position. If we continue like this, it will do us no good at all, so why not take the initiative? Anyway, you are good at martial arts, and you will take care of everything."
, is better than missing out on a good opportunity.”
Liu Yangyang deeply agreed, "The details of the Han family are getting darker and darker, and Yiyi's life and death are unknown. We can't be led by Han Wenze all the time. Han Wenze dares to compete with us, but we can't afford it! I just want to do it as soon as possible
I know the news about my sister...Zhou Xiaodu, you promised me! You should think of something quickly!"
When Zhou Xiaodu heard what the mother-in-law was talking about, he suddenly had two big heads on his head. She always spoke with a gun and a stick, and never knew how to appease and please. Liu Yangyang, who was full of anxiety when faced with worrying about his relatives, could not help himself for a moment.
I tried to refuse, but I was afraid that some sarcastic remarks would come out of my mouth, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
In this deep pool of water, you still have to throw a pebble first to stir up the water.
From this day on, the Han family manor began to be haunted.
At first, a little maid bumped into her. Near Han Wenze's courtyard, there was a woman in green clothes wandering in the night. When she stepped forward to ask, the woman suddenly disappeared.
Later, more and more people saw the woman in green.
Her hair was disheveled and she was wearing a flowing blue dress. She came and went without a trace, leaving no footprints wherever she went... No one could catch her.
Once, the evening wind blew her black hair, and from a distance, her face actually looked like Liu Yiyi's!
That face was so pale that it didn't look like a human being at all. Everyone in the Han family thought it was Madam's ghost who had come back to claim her life! That night, Madam was indeed killed by Miss Huo Yan!
In the garden, the two maids who saw the female ghost's face screamed in unison, turned around and ran, just in time to bump into the oncoming young man.
Zhima wondered: "Sisters, what happened?"
A maid shouted with a cry: "Ghost! There is a ghost!"
Zhima's eyes widened and he asked exaggeratedly: "Ghost? Where is the ghost?"
"It's husband..."
Another maid covered her mouth in time and forced a smile to Zhizhi: "It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost. Where did it come from? It was too dark and she was dazzled by the mistake... Oops! I told you, that was
A big bird just flew by, you have bad eyesight, why don’t you believe it!”
"Oh... it's a big bird!" Zhima said, "What kind of bird is that? Where is it? I want to see it too!"
"Hey, it has disappeared a long time ago! Let's go back to work first, young man, you can do it yourself... let's go, let's go quickly!"
Zhima looked at the two of them walking away, and vaguely heard the maid scolding the other person, "Are you stupid?! That's a servant of the Liu family! You dare to tell him about this! You're not afraid that the head of the family will know.
, I will peel off your skin..."
Sesame smiled coldly, turned around and walked around the banana tree, walking briskly back to the small courtyard where she settled.
Zhou Xiaodu had just come back and was sitting in the hall drinking tea. She casually threw her green dress aside.
Zhima leaned over with surprise in her eyes and looked at her disguise mask that combined Liu Yiyi's stand-in, Liu Yiyi's portrait, and Liu Yangyang's description. She gave a thumbs up and sighed: "Awesome."
Zhou Xiaodu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "You are already a person who has read books, why are you still speaking so vulgarly?"
Zhima smiled and said: "With the friendship between you and me, we won't deal with those vain things." As he said that, he wanted to touch Zhou Xiaodu's face, "How did you do this?"
Zhou Xiaodu shook his head slightly and avoided his paw, "Want to learn? I can teach you."
Zhima nodded, with bright eyes, "I want to learn!"
Zhou Xiaodu felt a sense of pride when he saw that the son of destiny was no longer in trouble. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I will teach you another day."
Zhima tilted his head and stared at her face intently, "It's so natural, there's no sign of fraud... The face you usually show me is also fake, right?"
Zhou Xiaodu was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it's false."
"Really?!" The boy's eyes widened.
"I told you, it's a lie..." Zhou Xiaodu was speechless.
"Hey, what do you look like?"
Zhou Xiaodu picked up the tea cup, gently blew away the floating tea leaves, and said calmly: "You are old and ugly, so you have to pretend to be a handsome young man!"
Zhima shook his head, "I don't believe it."
Zhou Xiaodu sneered lightly, "Then let me tell you one more thing. When we disguise ourselves, it is better to use pig skin to make a mask than to use human skin to make a good mask... A white and beautiful little doll like you is the best.
To please us old monsters, peel off the skin and make a human skin mask, it will definitely be the best~" She touched her sesame-smooth face.
Zhima took advantage of the situation and held her delicate hand, his eyes moved, and he joked: "Which old monster can have such young hands?"
"What I practice is the kung fu of my hands. It's not like you don't know that I take good care of myself."
Liu Yangyang came into the room while they were talking, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Zhou Xiaodu, can you change my sister's face and tell ghost stories to scare the children? I'll keep an eye on you like this.
It’s so uncomfortable!”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to change it now." She followed suit.
In just a few days, the rumors of the female ghost in green became more and more intense in the Han family manor, making people panic. The news soon reached Han Wenze's ears.
Han Wen pondered for a while, and not only did he not order people to hide Liu Yangyang's information, but instead sent a confidant to inform him of the matter generously and asked him to discuss countermeasures with Liu Yangyang.
The guard said to Liu Yangyang solemnly: "What the master of the house means is that he plans to invite a goddess to communicate with the ghost to see if it is really the lady who transformed after she was killed. If something unfortunate really happened, we need to find out the original reason.
Madam, it is up to you to wash away the grievances."
Han Wenze's candid attitude confused Liu Yangyang.
Liu Yangyang said: "But where are ghosts and gods in the world? How do you know it is not caused by man? You all said that you saw my Yiyi being kidnapped by the gangsters and her whereabouts are unknown. How dare you think that she has died and turned into a ghost now?"
The guard said: "The gangster is cruel and the government has not done anything. In the past many days, the gangster has not shown up again. I don't think the lady is in the same situation... And the ghost's dress and face are very similar to the lady. Everyone in the house
Every time I want to chase her, as soon as I get there, she disappears inexplicably. What is she if she isn't a ghost?"
Liu Yangyang was exchanging some half-truths with the man, while on the other side, Zhima was sitting on the porch feeding the dog.
The young man raised his head and glanced at the guard. He had a sword on his waist, his eyes were bright, his lower body was steady, and his voice was like a bell - he was a master.
If Han Wen wanted to talk about something, and it was related to Liu Yiyi, he would show his sincerity by coming to the door in person. Why did he send one of his masters here now? This is not like a conversation, but more like some kind of containment, to trip up Liu Yang.
Yang, it is convenient for Korean to do something else.
But if it was the matter of Liu Yiyi's ghost that made Han Wenze unable to sit still and planned to do something ulterior, then why didn't he hide it from them? Instead, he told them specifically. Could it be that Han Wenze found out that this matter had something to do with them?
Related? Deliberately acting to avoid suspicion?
Also, if Han Wenze wants to do something ulterior, and just cannot let them know about it, he would actually send someone to watch them secretly. It seems more necessary to blatantly trap Liu Yangyang and not hesitate to alert the snake.
To stop Liu Yangyang from doing something.
So, what can Liu Yangyang do?
Sesame touched the soft hair on Zizi's back and started thinking.
He lowered his head and watched Jiazi eating sesame seed cakes with relish, and suddenly realized the key point: Zhou Xiaodu was not here!
The young man's face changed drastically, he stood up and walked into the hall, interrupting the conversation between Liu Yangyang and the guard, "Second Master, have you forgotten that you have made appointments with some friends to meet?"
Han Wenze's move may be to prevent Liu Yangyang from supporting Zhou Xiaodu! He knew that the haunting of the Han family was related to Liu Yangyang and several others, and he even knew that Zhou Xiaodu was following him!
Hearing this, Liu Yangyang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized, "Ah, yes, look at me, I forgot about this while we were chatting! Then Liu went out to meet friends. What's the matter?
Let’s talk in detail when Liu comes back!”
The guard stopped him and said, "Er Liu also has friends in Nanshi County? I happen to need to go down the mountain to do something, so let me escort you there!"
"No need!" Liu Yangyang refused coldly, "I'm meeting my friends, so I won't bother you."
"Second Master Liu was joking. We are all from the same family, so why talk about two different families? If the Han family has just finished being haunted, and Master Liu is alone with friends, it will inevitably make people wonder what this haunting has to do with you... So,
It's better for me to follow you, and if anyone criticizes me, I can give you an explanation."
"What you said is so strange. I was just meeting a friend, so how could I be involved in the fact that your house is haunted? I went out to meet friends, but instead I was escorted all the way there by your guards like a prisoner. Isn't this arousing criticism?!
"Liu Yangyang snorted coldly, pushed him away and walked out.
The guard stopped him again: "Master Liu, please don't embarrass me. You have a lot. It's convenient for you."
Liu Yangyang refused to comply and started arguing with him. The two actually got into a fight and started fighting each other back and forth in the hall.
Seeing that Liu Yangyang was useless and unable to escape, Zhima couldn't wait any longer and turned around. He picked up the woodcutter he had brought and rushed out of the courtyard with the broken knife.
The guard saw that he was a weak young man who could not achieve anything, so he ignored him and let him go.
