I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 18 Disperse
The courtyard, which was usually extremely quiet and deserted, was now in chaos.Densely packed insects of various colors were flying and making noise in the air, and dark clouds were pressing in the sky like a canopy, surrounding the yard.

It was obviously a sunny day, but those flying insects of all colors blocked the blazing sunlight.The brilliant golden light was submerged by the dense darkness and disappeared without a trace.

Under the darkness that blocks out the sun, whenever a living creature approaches, the bugs will rush over in a swarm, screaming, as if they want to swallow the intruding living creature completely with their dark mouths bared and bared fangs.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to approach easily.

Mother Jia looked at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief, and was speechless for a long time.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. There are so many insects out there, but there are so many here."

The incident happened in her courtyard. Mrs.

Jia Mu came back to her senses and glanced at her displeasedly.

Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "Such a mess should not disturb our ancestors. Why don't our ancestors go back first and find those boys to clean up this place?"

Jia Mu responded softly.

Yuanyang supported Jia Mu and was about to leave, when suddenly bursts of wailing came from the yard: "Heaven wants to kill me, God wants to kill me! Where did this god-killing thing come from? Could it be that he wants to kill me here?" Let's go!" The voice was shrill and it was clear that he was extremely frightened.

This sound is too familiar.Wang Xifeng's expression changed first.

Mrs. Wang said "Huh": "Why does it sound a bit like Brother Lian?"

"It's not him!" Mrs. Xing ordered the boys around her: "Hurry up and rescue the second master."

The boys were shaking like chaff, looking at the dense pile of insects, no one dared to nod in agreement.

One of them said tremblingly: "I heard that someone fell into a well and died there, and it happened again today. We, we really don't dare to go."

Others nodded: "Yes, yes. They didn't let anyone in earlier, so why are we suddenly allowed in today? You can't change the order overnight."

"If you can't do things well, you'll find excuses." Wang Shanbao's family said angrily: "You are very happy when you receive the monthly payment, so why do you shirk it when you have to do something? No one should be left behind, let's get over it! If the second master has a problem, you all should stop living!"

The boys moved inside in shock, and for a long time they didn't get an inch out.

Wang Shanbao's family called the women to drive them away with sticks.They screamed and pushed, and for a while they couldn't tell which was more miserable, their screams or Jia Lian's screams inside.

Just when the place was in chaos, all of a sudden, all the bugs scattered.As if the fireworks bloomed to their most brilliant moment and then disappeared, the dark buzzing sound suddenly disappeared.

This incident made everyone stand on the spot.

Wang Xifeng was the first to react, pointing to the vacated courtyard and excitedly said: "Ancestor, gone, all gone!" He then shouted loudly: "How are you doing, Master? All the insects have dispersed!" "

Jia Lian was obviously still in fear and did not react for a while, still shouting loudly.

Mrs. Wang hesitated: "Old lady, look -"

"Go in and take a look." Mother Jia said in a majestic voice: "I want to take a closer look to see what the regulations are." After saying that, she went to the yard first.Although he spoke firmly, the pressure of those insects just now seemed to still be there.The group of people couldn't help hesitating as they walked forward. They took a step to look around three or four times, but they still couldn't reach the door of the house after lingering for a long time.

Jia He didn't want to miss this best opportunity, so he said: "Grandma has always worshiped the Buddha and received the blessings of heaven and earth. Those monsters and demons are afraid of grandma and immediately disperse when they see grandma coming. In this case, since grandma is protecting us, we can just go straight there." "

Mother Jia was pleased that the child was so well-spoken, and everyone else was so frightened that her face changed color, but she was still as rosy and smiling as usual. She was indeed blessed, much like the Jia family.But remembering what Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng said before... Jia Mu couldn't help but hesitate.While I was still thinking about it, the person had already arrived at the front of the house.

The door of the house was wide open, and the situation inside was clearly displayed in front of everyone.After everyone saw the room clearly, they were shocked by the situation inside. They all took a breath, and some of the timid ones even stepped back and did not dare to get even closer.

But it wasn't that Jia Lian's condition was so terrible, but that there was a corpse lying in the house.

The corpse was already pale, but its appearance could still be seen as beautiful.Those who know her well can't help but exclaim: "It's Huo Xiang! It's Huo Xiang, the maid next to the eldest lady!"

Mrs.

Maybe the insect pile just now was too scary, so now he became a little calmer after seeing the corpse.Mrs. ?”

She looked at Zhao'er next to her who had fainted from fear at some point, with a bit of fear on her face, and asked Jia Lian: "Did you kill her? Otherwise, how could you know that her body was here and lie to me?" Said she was home."

"Nonsense!" Jia Mu yelled, "Can this be said nonsense?" Then she looked at Jia Lian and said, "Tell me what's going on."

Jia Lian had been frightened to death by the black insects that surrounded the house just now, and his whole body was wet and smelled of irritation.

He slumped down on the ground with his face stained with snot and tears, and cried: "I didn't kill him, he didn't kill him." Because of his confused thinking, he kept repeating these words, but he couldn't say any more for a while. .

Jia Mu's face became darker and darker.

Wang Xifeng was also extremely angry - there was just a corpse standing there, and there wasn't much blood at first glance. She could have covered it up by saying that the maid died suddenly or committed suicide by taking poison, no matter what, she could have covered it up.

Fortunately, now, in front of everyone, Jia Lian directly admitted that the person was killed.It is difficult to cover up anymore.No matter who did it, the person who committed this crime must be caught first.

The masters present were very silent after thinking about this.

At this time, a crisp voice suddenly asked: "Second brother Lian said that you were not the one who killed the person, so you know who told you to lie to your mother and tell her that Huoxiang was coming home, right?"

Everyone looked around and saw the fifth girl, Jia Lian, staring at Jia Lian, her big watery eyes full of curiosity.

Because the bugs had dissipated, the buzzing in Jia Lian's ears was gone, and the dense darkness in front of his eyes was gone. His body felt lighter and he was gradually getting better, and his head began to return to normal little by little.

He heard the question and subconsciously followed the memory in his mind and replied: "It's Meiren, she asked me to say this to my wife."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, an idea suddenly came to him. He realized that this matter should be concealed and not mentioned, so how could he blurt it out?

But I can't regret it anymore.Jia Lian subconsciously trembled all over and started to retreat using his hands and feet.

Jia Mu glared at him angrily and shouted: "Then you really lied for that bitch slave? And you came to see the body for her! Why don't you tell the truth! Did the person die in your hands?"
