Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 124 Weird
Hong Xing widened her eyes, and the scene of that night unconsciously emerged in her mind.

The miserable and pale moonlight shone on the patriarch's cheeks, his bright red robe matched his dry and frizzy skin, and he sang a sad and gentle song in the end. The whole scene became extremely weird.

It seems like he is accusing something, or blaming something.

Even though he was forcibly taken away by the servant, he still kept singing the tune.

Weird, so weird.

This was the first time Hong Xing encountered such a thing. She was extremely scared and did not dare to mention it to anyone for fear of bringing about fatal disaster.

"I originally wanted to pretend I knew nothing, but then I discovered that the clan leader loved to go to the garden and sing late at night. Because it was quite remote and his singing was eerie, no servants came near."

There was a layer of sadness between Hong Xing's brows. How come she happened to bump into him?
"Sister Hong Xing, no wonder you couldn't eat for several days."

Daya, who was standing by, widened her eyes, thinking of Hong Xing's abnormal behavior these days.

"Sister Hong Xing, why didn't you tell me? I'm not afraid of these things, and I can protect you when the time comes."

Hong Xing smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is obviously a secret, not many people know about it. If I tell you about it, it will only put you and me in danger."

"Sister Daya, just pretend you didn't hear anything about what happened today."

Seeing that both of them were ready to be killed to silence them, Shen Fuyu quickly interrupted them.

"Sister Hong Xing, Sister Daya, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you."

Shen Fuyu's tone was firm.

Hong Xing and Daya just felt warm in their hearts, they knew they had not misjudged the person.

Shen Fuyu deserves to be treated well by others.

"But, Sister Hong Xing, are you sure no one has noticed this?"

Hong Xing nodded affirmatively. Ever since she learned about this, she has become more cautious, fearing that her life would be in danger if others found out.

"Okay, Sister Hong Xing, Sister Daya, you guys go ahead and do your work. I have more important things to deal with, so I won't delay you any longer."

After getting the information he wanted, Shen Fuyu suggested leaving.

After all, Shen Fuyu and Madam Shen are in the same boat, and he has already offended the other party completely. Only when Madam Shen gains a firm foothold can Shen Fuyu get better and better.

As the night deepened, the moon emerged, with scattered stars surrounding it.

Shen Fuyu squatted in the garden that Hong Xing mentioned, and his breathing became extremely light, for fear of being noticed.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared intently at the back of the rockery.

Time passed little by little, and no one showed up.

When Shen Fuyu was so bored that he almost fell asleep, suddenly, a bright red robe came into view.

The patriarch's voice became shrill, and he sang an incomprehensible little tune.

Either sharp or subtle.

Shen Fuyu subconsciously covered his ears, and goose bumps appeared all over his body. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, the patriarch's voice continued, and Shen Fuyu could only plug his ears with two pieces of cloth.

Shen Fuyu did not act rashly, but squatted beside and silently observed the situation.

Sure enough, the servant followed the patriarch not long after he started singing.

"How do you judge people? We've clearly sent more people, so why does the clan leader always escape?! I've warned him countless times not to let his guard down. If anything happens to the clan leader, none of us combined can be held responsible."

Xiao Wu deliberately lowered his voice and glanced around first to make sure that there was no one around before he dared to step forward and subdue the patriarch.

The three guards following closely behind Xiaowu couldn't help but complain.

"Xiaowu, we know the seriousness of the matter. We have been in a tense state of mind the whole night, for fear that the clan leader would seize the opportunity and run away if we were not careful. However, no matter how we cheered up, we still couldn't keep an eye on the clan leader at the appointed time." The guard had a bitter face. He originally thought it was a simple task, but it was not so strange. If he had known earlier, he would have given it to other brothers.

"I guarantee with my life that we are absolutely not lazy, and we are definitely not taking advantage of the situation."

The guard almost raised three fingers to swear.

Xiao Wu sighed and did not doubt the guard's words. No one knew the patriarch's condition better than him during this period.

"Thank you for your hard work. I believe that the clan leader will increase your monthly salary after he wakes up."

Xiao Wu and the three guards hugged the head of the Shen family tightly, and did not forget to take out a handkerchief and stuff it into the head of the Shen family's mouth, and the sad and melodious singing stopped.

Xiao Wu had a bitter face and said, "Chief, ah, Chief, when will you get better? I can't bear it anymore."

"What is going on? I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen this."

"Xiao Wu, could it be that the clan leader is possessed by a ghost?"

One of the guards spoke boldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu kicked him hard and said, "Be careful with your words and actions. We servants only need to do what our master tells us to do. We don't need to say anything."

The guard gave an ingratiating smile and rubbed the back of his head, "I understand."

"Ahhh!"

The sharp voice of the Shen family head came from the side.

Even with a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth, the head of the Shen family was still unwilling to sing the little song, and his eyes were dull as if he was in a sleep.

The scene is weird and makes people feel extremely creepy.

Xiaowu and the three guards unconsciously quickened their pace, wanting to return to the yard as soon as possible.

Shen Fuyu in the corner followed quietly.

No wonder!

Originally, Shen Fuyu was still wondering, in such a huge Shen Mansion, isn't there even a single sober person? Why are they all insisting that it was the work of a demon?
Does everyone believe such a ridiculous reason?
It turned out that the situation of the head of the Shen family was too strange, so they had to believe it.

courtyard.

The clan leader's wife had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing the crazy look on the Shen clan leader's face, she wiped away her tears.

"What a sin! What a sin!"

The clan leader's wife personally took the person from Xiaowu and carefully took off the bright red robe.

It’s strange to say, but when other people try to take off their costumes, the clan leader will resist fiercely.

The only person he didn't resist was the clan leader's wife.

The clan leader's wife helped the clan leader take off his robe with trembling dry fingers, and then called for a servant to bring him a flame.

The bright red costume was completely burned to ashes in front of everyone's eyes.

However, everyone was not happy because they knew that the patriarch would definitely get a new robe the next day.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became very strange. No one could sleep with such a thing happening, for fear that the patriarch would accidentally run into the house and sing a little song.

Even many maids bought amulets.

The clan leader's wife turned a blind eye to this.

Seeing the clan leader's makeup on her face, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Oh my God, you are so unfair. My husband and I have never done anything wrong. Why do you treat us like this? If you have any conscience, you should get rid of the female ghost as soon as possible."
