Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 129 The Xu family is haunted (3)
"Well, it's pretty good. You have to walk a few steps and be active on weekdays, but you must not catch the cold. Don't go out on cloudy and rainy days like this."

The doctor girl saw that the people receiving her were cousins ​​Qing Ju and Qing Li, but she didn't see the second sister, so she looked disappointed. It seems that gossip can make friends.

Qingli led the doctor girl to the second room to treat guests, and the cousin served melon and fruit snacks, and freshly painted flower and fruit tea, planning how to inquire about gossip.

"This is flower fruit tea? It's really rare!"

The medical girl took a sip, and then savored the taste carefully, "This flower and fruit tea is very good. I heard that the process is complicated, and if it is not done well, it will completely lose its fragrance. It is only a little bit from a rich family. I drank it last time. It's still at Xu's house."

"Yeah, my little aunt arrived at a good time. This was sent by a servant girl sent by a sister I knew yesterday. She said it can beautify the skin."

"Well, nourish the liver and kidney, replenish qi and blood, and generate body fluid."

The doctor girl talked about the benefits of flower and fruit tea, but she didn't find out who gave it to her, and she didn't know if the second sister had mentioned that their sisters met Zhao Wanchun.

Outside the window, an autumn rain was falling, and the sound of dripping water from the eaves was heard through the window lattice. Qing Li got up and looked out through the small open window. , washed the leaves so pure that she could see the clear veins on them.

"It's raining in this weather."

The medical girl didn't bring an oil-paper umbrella when she went out, and she didn't want to rush back in such a hurry at this moment. Sitting here, eating some preserved fruits, eating a handful of melon seeds, and drinking some flower and fruit tea, she also enjoys the treatment of the wife of a rich family. .

"Yeah, little aunt, it probably won't be too long, why don't you take more rest."

Qingli asked to stay, and then her cousin Qingju continued to serve hot water, and the three gathered around a table, grabbing a handful of melon seeds and nibbling.

"Well, I don't think it will be too long. Why isn't your second sister at home?"

"Second sister and my mother have gone back to the village. My village is building a house."

Qingli rolled her eyes, and mentioning her second sister was definitely a prelude to gossip. She held her chin and pretended to ask casually, "Little aunt, is there anything new in town recently? Our sisters are all from the village. And let us see the world."

"Speaking of new things, there is one thing, but don't be afraid after hearing it, you two little girls."

The doctor girl loves to gossip, and when she mentioned this, there was a look in her eyes, that kind of excited and excited look, which Qingli often saw in the eyes of the old ladies in the village.

"I also heard this from a doctor in our hospital yesterday. Didn't the Xu family suffer a fire a while ago, and several houses were burned down, and a person was actually burned to death."

"Ah, burned to death?"

Qingli thought of the situation in the fire scene where there was no way to ask for help, and she couldn't escape, and immediately got goosebumps all over her body. Cousin Mo Qingju's face turned pale, but the young master of the Xu family stepped on her third uncle with a horse's hoof, so he had something to do with her. So she suppressed the fear in her eyes and asked, "After burning a person to death, what then?"

"The person who was burned to death is called Cuishan, and she is the servant girl of Young Master Xu." Speaking of this, the medical girl drank a glass of water, and then asked suspiciously, "Do you know what it means to be a housekeeper?"

"I know, the second sister said that the big families in the town have concubines, probably about the same?"

Qingli pretended to be naive, and secretly despised herself in her heart. The maid in the house is the lowest maidservant who sleeps with her.

"more or less."

Regarding the difference between the Tongfang and the concubine, the nurse did not explain to them, "I heard from the servants of the Xu family that Cuishan could have escaped that night, but was knocked down by Master Xu because he wanted to climb the window. He escaped, but his height was a bit short, and he was fat, so he couldn't move his legs, so he stepped on Cuishan's foot, which was also witnessed by the servant who rushed into the fire scene later."

"They didn't have time to pay attention to Cuishan's life and death. After rescuing Young Master Xu, Cuishan was also burnt beyond recognition. She had been dying for a long time. I heard that when she died, her eyes were wide open and tears of blood flowed."

The doctor girl didn't know if she also imagined the scene at that time, her face turned pale, and she sighed several times.

"Then, Cuishan turned into a ghost looking for Xu Zhu... Did Master Xu take his life?"

Qingli called Xu Zhutou already fluently, and the word Zhutou almost slipped out of his mouth again, letting the servant girl step on her feet. Qingli suddenly remembered that Xu Zhutou got off the carriage by letting the driver bend over to make a horse stool. It can be done.

"Before, I only heard a woman crying late at night. The Xu family had a lot of servants on patrol. After the disaster, they have been vigorously arranging manpower. Master Xu said to the public that he suspected that someone deliberately set the fire, because a lot of lamp oil was found outside the house."

Finally when it came to the critical moment, the doctor's expression became tense, "It's nothing, Master Xu is at most a little scared, for a big family like the Xu family, the life of a slave with a death contract is similar to that of a dog, and those who died unjustly Not one or two, even Ms. Xu, usually scolds slaves, beats them with a whip, scalds them with hot water, sometimes plays tricks, and pricks them with embroidery needles, in short, it is abusive."

When the medical girl mentioned Miss Xu, Qingli curled her lips. When she met on the East Street two days ago, Miss Xu threatened to kill her brother and make her family an extinct one. Whip for fun.I have to say that everyone in the Xu family has a problem. They like to daydream and have paranoia at every turn.

"What's the matter with the haunting? Could it be that something terrible happened again?"

Seeing that Mo Qingju didn't get to the point for a long time, she quickly answered the conversation and brought the topic back.

"There was a thunderstorm night two days ago, do you have any impression?"

"Well, there was thunder and lightning."

That night Qingli was practicing exercises in the space, and was disturbed by the thunder outside, and even opened the window to take a look, so she was very impressed.

"It was that night..." The doctor's description was vivid, and her voice lowered a lot. In addition, the room was dark, and it was raining outside the window, slowly filling a terrifying atmosphere. Qingli and her cousin Qing Qiang also held her breath, concentrating on it.

"Master Xu went to bed very early that night. He was woken up by thunder in the middle of the night and found that he was in a hurry to urinate. Because he was burned by the fire and couldn't move, he called the maid to come over to help. Who knew that after shouting for a long time, the maid didn't answer outside."

The doctor girl's pupils began to dilate, and her eyes showed panic, as if she had brought herself into that time, "At this moment, the wind suddenly became stronger, and the window lattice was blowing, I don't know what happened, Suddenly the window was opened wide, and the cold wind that came in extinguished the candles in the house, leaving only a dim oil lamp flickering on and off, casting a shadow on the wall."

"Woooo, woooo...then there was a burst of crying from a woman. This voice obviously belonged to Cuishan. Recently, Young Master Xu had nightmares all day long. When he heard it, the sweat pores all over his body stood up. He yelled loudly, 'Come here. Ah, come here, you stupid hoofs, let’s see if the young master won’t hit you!’ Young master Xu was so frightened that his whole body was trembling. He huddled in the corner of the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and lifted the quilt from time to time. , small eyes staring at the open window."
