"Did my grandfather do it?" I added another sentence.
"Who knows, anyway, they all died soon. Who dares to ask about the old man's affairs." Rusao said, her eyes full of disdain.
"Sister-in-law Ru, do you think my mother is also imprisoned in this back house, is there any danger?" I asked.
"I know that the eldest lady voluntarily stayed in this back house before. She should be investigating something, but she didn't tell me what it was specifically. She just asked me to stop everyone, including the young master, from returning to Chen
"My wife said that the old man was doing something incredible, but later I felt that the eldest lady was controlled by the old man," Rusao said.
"It's under control, how did you know?" This time, it was Chen Mo who asked.
"Because every night, the eldest lady is listening to the noises coming from Yuxiaoxuan, and I feel like she is asking for help." Sister-in-law Ru said, "It's just that the eldest lady may be wary of the water ghosts hiding in the reeds.
So I kept talking in code words. But then I seemed to have a feeling that I shouldn't have, no, no, no, this idea is too scary, and I kept rejecting it." Sister-in-law Ru said, and then said to herself.
"Sister-in-law Ru, what are you thinking?" She had successfully aroused my curiosity, and besides, it was still about my mother.
"At first I thought that the eldest lady was locked up in Tingyu Xiaoxuan, so the sounds she made every night should be venting her dissatisfaction or asking for help in a special language. However, later I
But I found that as long as the eldest lady screamed, the water ghosts in the reeds didn't seem to come out to show off." Sister-in-law Ru's voice was low, as if she was telling a big secret.
"Sister-in-law Ru, please don't say that you think mother is communicating with those water ghosts in the reed swamp." I asked a little uncertainly.
"Master Zhou Cang, if you don't believe it, you can go and listen to it tomorrow night. Once the eldest lady's voice comes out, the noise made by the water ghosts in the reed marsh will be much smaller," Sister-in-law Ru said.
After hearing this, I said firmly to Chen Mo and Ru Sao: "Chen Mo, Ru Sao, no matter what reason my mother stayed in this swamp, or whether she was imprisoned in the Chen family by her grandfather,
In the back house, before I leave here, I must see my mother. I am very grateful that you came to rescue me tonight, but after daybreak, I still have to return to the small building."
"Zhou Cang, please be sensible. You must know that now we have left the surveillance range of the Chen family's back house. As long as we walk along this creek, we can leave the swamp of the Chen family's back house.
, don’t you want to go to Mustang?” As soon as Chen Mo heard what I said, he immediately became anxious.
"However, compared to going to Mustang, my mother is more important to me. I must see my mother. I have many questions to ask my mother. I am almost alone now. My grandma has passed away and my grandpa has gone.
Guizhou, Zhou Lan is in Kunlun Mountain again, and my father is no longer here. Only my mother is by my side. I almost only
If I can reach out and touch her, am I required to give up my mother just because the Chen family is full of conspiracies and there are many institutions in the swamp? I can't do it, Chen Mo, this time, I won't
If you listen to anyone's advice, I must see my mother." I was very excited at the moment and said with a louder voice.
"Zhou Cang, if you insist on doing this, I may use violence to force you to leave." Chen Mo said, "The Chen family is currently in chaos. I am not sure what grandpa's purpose is in bringing you to the Chen family.
What is it? But just because he brought you to the back house, it already shows that he does not want to let you go. Rusao and I spent a lot of effort to bring you out.
I will never let you go back and die."
"Chen Mo, this is my own business. Please don't interfere. Otherwise, our friendship in the past ten years may be ruined." I said not to be outdone, and in order to threaten Chen Mo, I did not hesitate to use ruthless means.
Words come.
Sister-in-law Ru probably smelled the smell of gunpowder between the two of us, so she immediately said: "You two brothers, please stop arguing about this matter. Listen to me, Master Zhou Cang doesn't want to leave the eldest daughter alone in the back house."
It is reasonable and reasonable. This is a manifestation of his filial piety. Master, you cannot deny it outright. If you really use force to make him leave, then I believe that Master Zhou Cang will not be able to do anything else with peace of mind.
of things.”
"Yes, Sister-in-law Ru, it's what you said." I said this immediately as soon as I heard that Ru's sister-in-law was talking about me.
"However, Master Zhou Cang, when I say this, I am not supporting you to go back and rescue your aunt now," Ru's sister-in-law heard what I said and immediately said what she said.
"Ah!" I immediately expressed doubts.
"I mean, if you really want to see my aunt before leaving, then you have to follow my instructions. I can be 60% sure that you can see her. However, if my aunt insists on not wanting to see you,
Then that's another story." Sister-in-law Ru said.
When Chen Mo heard this, his tense expression relaxed slightly, "Sister-in-law Ru, tell me your plan."
Sister-in-law Ru looked at me, and then continued: "I feel that every night, when my aunt makes those strange noises, the water ghosts hiding in the reeds in the swamp will gather around Tingyu Xiaoxuan.
, I don’t know what my aunt is doing.
We can't attract them all, but this is an opportunity for us. We can follow the sound and find the hiding place of our aunt. Moreover, at this time, there are no water ghosts patrolling in the reeds. If we act, we will
It’s a lot more convenient,” Rusao said.
"But if the water ghosts are really attracted by my mother's voice, then there will be a lot of water ghosts where my mother is, and we won't be able to get close to my mother." I immediately expressed doubts.
"Don't worry, Master Zhou Cang. I can ask the young master to bring you out at the door of Tingyu Xiaoxuan tonight. I will also have a way to avoid the water ghost tomorrow night and bring you to my aunt. However, if my aunt is really
If I don't want to see you, then I have no choice." Sister-in-law Ru said.
,
"Really, Rusao, do you really have a way to deal with those water ghosts?" I said excitedly.
"Silly boy, if you don't have any skills, how can you survive in the Chen family for so many years." Sister-in-law Ru said with a smile.
"Just, Sister-in-law, what should I do with the bone shackles on Zhou Cang's ankles?" Chen Mo lowered his head and stared at my ankles.
"Perhaps, we can use this to lure my aunt out, but we will have to force Master Zhou Cang to carry these two ghosts for a day." Sister-in-law Ru frowned and said.
"As long as I can see my mother, I will obey Ru's sister-in-law's arrangements in everything." I looked at Ru's sister-in-law and said gratefully. I seemed to be sure in my heart that I would definitely be able to see my mother tomorrow night.
"Master, Master Zhou Cang, it will be dawn soon. After dawn, you must stay in this cabin honestly. No matter what noise is heard outside, you must not come out. Otherwise, the Chen family will find out
, I will be torn into pieces by the old man." Sister-in-law Ru said.
Chen Mo and I nodded at the same time.
Almost at the same moment we nodded, a cockcrow came from the distance.
"Two young masters, please take care of yourself. I have to rush to Corridor Yunlangyuan immediately. I will be discovered later." Sister-in-law Ru said, and hurriedly got out of the cabin, and then we clearly felt the violent vibration of the hull.
Shake.
When we opened the cabin curtain, Sister-in-law was gone.
