husband from hell

Chapter 43
The fourth aunt walked outside while talking, and when I turned around and saw Cheng Ke was still there, talking to the little girl in a low voice, the little girl's expression turned ugly all of a sudden.

I felt strange when I saw this, and wanted to ask what was going on, but I didn't expect that little girl to see me coming, turned her face away in a panic, and left.

Cheng Ke straightened up and turned to look at me. Before I could speak, Cheng Ke said, "Don't be jealous, I'm not interested in such a young girl."

"Who is jealous?" I said in a low voice, "I just feel puzzled, and you didn't see it, how did you just come in and know about the little girl's peach branches and blood dripping?"

Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "Those two ferocious beasts guarding the gate are encouraged by one 'evil' and one 'evil'. It is estimated that this family is used to being honest and is often bullied by other members of the same sect, so they vowed to make their own family also fierce." Some of them used that ferocious beast to influence the emotions of their family members, becoming more competitive and not suffering losses.

And as soon as the little girl went out, I could tell that she was different from her mother, she had a kind of Yin Qi that could only be obtained by using the technique of raising ghosts, but it was not heavy, and I could see the traces of the threshold of their house , it was newly removed, and I understood that the little girl must have only recently learned the art of raising ghosts.

Then observe the wounds on her feet and hands, and you will know what kind of soul-calling technique she used. "

Cheng Ke is really smart, which made me admire, but I didn't want to show this admiration, so I pretended to be disdainful and said: "I can also see that her foot is injured, but I don't know as much as you do."

Cheng Ke still had the usual expression of "I don't care about you", and it clung to my ears. The cool breath mixed with the smell of sandalwood rushed to my ears, which made my ears feel hot, and my body felt so hot. Wei Wei trembled: "But, do you think that little girl can really learn that kind of spirit raising technique by relying on her own comprehension?"

I was just blushing, and suddenly the heat on my face subsided when I heard him say this: "You mean, there is someone behind this little girl?"

Cheng Ke's slender index finger stuck to my lips, and it was cold for a while: "It's not easy, I don't want you to waste your brain."

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly took a step back: "You have something to say, can't you say it? What kind of hooligans are you playing in broad daylight..."

Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up, and he smiled evilly and beautifully: "No, I can only play hooligans."

"Can you two go away?" The fourth aunt knocked on the door, a little unhappy: "The days are still very long, and you will be sticky every moment, how decent it is."

I hurriedly turned around to leave, but Cheng Ke insisted on holding my hand tightly, and said leisurely: "No matter how long the time is, I don't think it's enough."

An unknown feeling slowly spread in my heart. The feeling of being held by him is inexplicable, as if I am familiar with it, as if I am used to it...

This is of course not good, I quickly reminded myself that the contract is just a contract, just a contract!
Turning around again, the little girl was watching us from behind the upstairs window, with a pair of clear water eyes, which seemed to be filled with strong and deep hatred, and the back of the person stared at was cold.

I was slightly taken aback, the little girl realized that I saw her, turned around immediately, and disappeared.

Although this little girl looks nothing like the little girl who sells seafood, but for some reason, I always feel that the two of them are somewhat alike.

When they arrived at the second uncle's house, the second uncle and Lulu had already returned. The two of them were facing the coffin, and their eyes were fixed, as if they had developed clairvoyant eyes, looking through the coffin boards, and looking at the things inside the coffin.

Cheng Ke said in a low voice: "This coffin has been filled with new goods."

"New product?" What is the old product? Of course I still remember it. It is the child's corpse jar that was stuffed in by the circling weirdo last time. If the groom doesn't come again, the child's corpse jar will also be removed. But what new goods can be packed in?
Cheng Ke patted my head and said, "Let's see what Second Uncle said first."

And the fourth aunt's temper was very hot, she entered the door first, and said with a fierce face, "The matter is so big, why don't you know to say something to my hometown?"

The second uncle turned around, and when he saw that it was the fourth aunt's grandmother, his expression changed immediately: "Fourth aunt? Why are you here?"

With a straight face, the fourth aunt tore off the wreath at the door and sneered: "If you don't come, I don't know if you still have such a plan."

"What can we plan." The corner of the second uncle's mouth twitched probably because he was too nervous: "The elders are also getting old. Since Lulu is fine, of course I don't want to alarm you."

"Cui Ya, you!" The fourth aunt threw the soul-calling flag on the coffin with a domineering attitude like the Empress Dowager Cixi: "The soul-calling flag is for fear that the soul will get lost. Your house is fine, and you want to attract ghosts? What's the matter, you I understand in my heart."

The fourth aunt seemed to be a master who likes to take care of things. The second uncle looked completely miscalculated, and then said: "Si aunt, this matter is my own family business, you still..."

The fourth aunt walked straight in front of Lulu, and said in a very pungent tone, "Come with me."

There was no expression on Lulu's pale face, her dull eyes just stared at the fourth aunt, motionless.

The second uncle hurriedly pulled the fourth aunt's grandmother: "Fourth aunt, if you have something to say, don't scare the child."

"It depends on whose family she is." The fourth aunt raised her hand and was about to push Lulu into the small building. The second uncle gritted his teeth and stood in front of the fourth aunt: "Fourth aunt, this things, don't worry about it."

"Little bastard, who are you talking to?" The fourth aunt did not give in, and the two confronted each other because of Lulu. Their swords were tense and the atmosphere was very solemn.

I was quite embarrassed. As a junior, of course I shouldn't say anything, so I had to say to Lulu: "If you encounter any difficulties, it's better to speak up. What can't the whole family talk about?"

But Lulu just gave me a cold look, and still didn't say anything.

After being stiff for a while, the fourth aunt, even though she was old and strong, couldn't hold on any longer. She suddenly turned around, looked at me, and said, "Lu Qiao, come with me."

"What?" I was stunned, and my fourth aunt pulled me away a long time ago: "You fool, you are being used as a spear here! Even if you are a dragon, the evil spirit here You can't bear it either!"

The second uncle's eyes were sullen and resentful, and he stared at the fourth aunt. The fourth aunt responded unceremoniously and dragged me away.

Cheng Ke followed and took my hand back from the fourth aunt's hand: "I can hold it myself, so I don't need the fourth aunt to worry about it."

The fourth aunt was in a bad mood, and even gave Cheng Ke a look: "Could it be that Lu Qiao is your dog, and you have to lead it?"

Good guy, the fire at the city gate really hurt the fish in the pond, I could have been shot lying in the soil.

Cheng Ke smiled slightly and said, "Why is Fourth Aunt so angry? Second Uncle and Lulu have their own ideas."

"You've seen it a long time ago, haven't you?" The fourth aunt glared at Cheng Ke angrily: "Then you still pretend to be okay!"

I couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly asked, "Fourth aunt, what's going on with Lulu? I also sensed that something was wrong with her, but she is indeed a living person!"

"There are many kinds of living people." The fourth aunt said coldly: "There is a kind of living people, called the living dead!"

I felt like my scalp was going to explode, and I immediately remembered the zombies in zombie movies: "Fourth aunt, so, after Lulu had an accident last time, people..."

"Not only Lulu, but the whole Tanshen Town is being targeted." The fourth aunt frowned and said, "There will be troubles for a while."

Of course I remembered that Yuning died a lot of ghost raisers, and immediately asked: "Fourth aunt, what kind of trouble are you talking about?"

"A lot of old people have died in this period of time." The fourth aunt quickly stepped on her feet, and said thoughtfully: "I'm investigating the specific situation, but what is certain is that outsiders came to the village. Moreover, there must be a conspiracy, so I searched for suspicious Yin Qi everywhere, and found you today."

My heart sank. I originally thought that the accident of Yuning's ghost-raising teacher was caused by Yuning's situation. Who knows, looking at the current situation, it is more likely to be an incident in Tanshen Town, and it will affect Tanshen where people are outside. A ghost raiser from the town!
What's more, Cheng Ke and I were implicated in an unbiased manner... No one would believe that no one was behind the scenes to fuel the flames.

I looked at Cheng Ke worriedly, and after all, is it related to that longevity...

Cheng Ke had a pair of big peach blossom eyes, and he was also staring at the fourth aunt, but he couldn't express his emotions, and I really couldn't see anything from his beautiful and unreal face.

The fourth aunt still said to herself: "I knew it earlier, I would ride the electric bike..."

I hurriedly asked: "Fourth aunt, where are we going?"

"Go to the ancestral hall and discuss it with those old guys." The fourth aunt gritted her dentures: "Sure, it has something to do with that Biluomen."

When the fourth aunt saw me before, she suspected that I belonged to Biluomen, so I hurriedly asked: "I heard you mention Biluomen just now, what kind of place is that?"

"Bi Luomen is also a group of ghost raisers." The fourth aunt said: "However, they are not ordinary ghost raisers. They raise ghosts for the purpose of earning a living and inheriting blood. For the benefit of future generations, but those from Bi Luomen are a kind of ghost cultivator who have abandoned reincarnation and descendants and pursued longevity, that is, they have no past and no future."

"Can a person abandon reincarnation?" I couldn't believe it: "The underworld in the legend, don't you care?"

"Their technique is called the technique of longevity," the fourth aunt said: "As long as you have that kind of technique, your body can be discarded at any time, but your soul is immortal, and you can use the body you fancy at will. The exchange of souls by soul art means to let others enter the book of life and death for oneself, occupying other people's lifespan, and exchange bodies in this way to obtain eternal life."

This is simply robbery!Immediately, I remembered the little girl who sold seafood with an expression that didn't match her age: "Grandma Si, the grandfather who sells seafood in our village, how is it now?"

"Been dead for several months," the fourth aunt replied, "you still remember him. He has been single all his life. He has no children. When he is old, he doesn't even have a sweetheart. It's your grandpa who helped him intercede." , buried in the corner of our Yang family’s ancestral grave, with the protection of the Yang family’s ancestors, we can still find a few cards underneath.”

I also want to know, how could that little girl really help grandpa to sell seafood!
"How do you know that there is a Biluomen in the world?" Cheng Ke suddenly turned his peachy eyes to the fourth aunt and asked very seriously.

When the fourth aunt heard this question, she completely sneered: "What do you think? Do you think that we are old and dim-witted and don't know anything? Wei Changsheng, the founder of Biluomen, came from Tanshen Town!"

The Art of Longevity, also known as Wei Changsheng?I also know that it must be inseparable from the "longevity" in Cheng Ke's mouth!

I am really more and more curious, what is that longevity?
"There are not many orthodox ghost raisers in the world," Cheng Ke said solemnly, "I don't know, but there are a few left."

The fourth aunt's eyes froze, but immediately changed into a sneering expression: "If you want to die, you have to die long ago, why do you have to wait until today?"

The fourth aunt's answer was obviously irrelevant to the question, but I saw the gloomy expression on the fourth aunt's expression, and I knew it was not good to ask more questions, so I followed the fourth aunt all the way to the west end of the Huangtupo.

Compared with when I was a child, the village has changed a lot now. A river ditch has been filled up with loess, and new houses have been built. There are also small civil construction buildings rising from the wilderness in the past, and set foot on the new road. I was really dazzled by the asphalt road. After passing through several alleys, I became relatives with a few villagers who my fourth aunt knew. Suddenly, I saw the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is an old house with blue bricks and blue tiles. It looks old and sturdy, and it is still built in ancient times. It is located in a square shape, which looks safe.

The vermilion lacquer gate is still the vermilion lacquer gate in memory, and there is still the brass alien animal knocker that I often touched with Lulu when I was a child.

In the center of this courtyard, there is an old locust tree planted. The fourth aunt pushed the door open and yelled: "Who is at home?"

A short old lady came out of the house, saw my fourth aunt, me, and Cheng Ke, and was stunned: "Fourth, this is..."

I hurriedly introduced myself, and Cheng Ke also took the opportunity to say that he is the son-in-law of Tanshen Town.

The fourth aunt puffed her cheeks and went all the way to the main room, saying unhappily: "That little bastard Yaohui, that's a big treason!"

The short old lady also knew my grandfather and my mother, and she came over to pull me enthusiastically, but when she saw Cheng Ke behind me, her face changed slightly, and she obviously recognized the yin and yang in me just like the fourth aunt. The art of controlling ghosts: "This little girl is quite capable."

I had no choice but to pull out a pure and harmless smile and get away with it.

The two old ladies chattered about Lulu's matter, talking about technical terms such as this soul technique and that sleepy technique, and I couldn't understand it. Seeing Cheng Ke standing under the big locust tree, Also passed: "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Ke stared at the branch of the locust tree intently, and said thoughtfully: "There seems to be something in that hole. However, this is the locust tree of the ancestral hall. It has withstood incense for many years, so I can't touch it." .”

I looked up and saw an inconspicuous tree hole in a very high place, which was completely covered by branches and leaves. Xiaoao Jianghu once, taking advantage of his neat clothes, he climbed up the tree without saying a word.

Cheng Ke looked at me like that, and Taohua narrowed his eyes: "I didn't expect you to have such abilities."

I replied: "What is this? I skipped class by digging out the bird's nest. I have done everything a little boy dared to do."

As soon as I said this, I suddenly understood why I couldn't find a boyfriend for more than twenty years, and I couldn't help feeling a little sad.

When I got to the branch, I leaned sideways and peeked inside, peeled away the circle of branches and leaves, and saw that there was indeed something hidden in the tree hole. It was really hard to find here, thanks to Cheng Ke's good eyesight. Yes, otherwise, it must have been discovered by other urchins long ago, right?

I reached in and took out a small oilcloth bag. Inside the oilcloth bag was a small antique rouge box.

The rouge box was made of cloisonné enamel. It seemed to be quite old, and it might still be an antique. I opened the rouge box, and there was no rouge in it. The photo, my eyes fell on that photo, but I was stunned, my body trembled, and I almost fell off the branch.

Cheng Kezao frowned: "Be careful."

The thick green leaves of the locust tree covered half of me. When I moved, the leaves trembled three times, and Cheng Ke couldn't see what I was doing at all.

I took a deep breath, suspecting that I was delusional, and stared at the rouge box again, only to see the photo inside the rouge box, which was indeed a photo of Cheng Ke with a woman!

They are wearing old-fashioned clothes with buckle loops, three inlays and three rolls on the stand-up collar, and the satin surface is exquisite. And never experienced the feeling of wind and frost.

I really want to know who is the woman who is taking pictures with Cheng Ke, but unfortunately, the position of that woman's face is damaged, as if it was cut off with ulterior motives.

Cheng Ke's photo appeared in Tanshen Town, does it mean that Cheng Ke was also from Tanshen Town before his death...

"Lu Qiao?" Seeing that I didn't reply, Cheng Ke said in a deep voice, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." I tried my best not to make my voice tremble, but quietly stuffed the photo in my pocket.

I don't know why I did this, I seem to be afraid, but I don't understand, what is I afraid of?
Are you afraid of Cheng Ke's identity, or are you afraid of the woman whose face was cut off inexplicably?

Who is Cheng Ke, and who is Cheng Ke's?

"Come down!" Cheng Ke's voice became deeper: "It doesn't matter what is on it, don't look at it."

I don't know how I fell down the tree, I just remember that I walked steadily, pretending to be nonchalant, but took out the rouge box first: "Here, look, I found this thing."

Cheng Ke stared at the rouge box with clear peach blossom eyes, with a trace of confusion.

I took the opportunity to ask: "Do you have any impression of this thing?"

Cheng Ke shook his head and said, "No, but it looks familiar..."

A little familiar, and a little familiar, is that part of his memory really lost?
I took a breath, and then said with a forced smile, "That hole is really hidden, how did you find it?"

The confusion in Cheng Ke's eyes deepened, and he said, "I can't tell, but I seem to vaguely know that there is something in there."

Only the person who put the thing will know.

My heart sank and sank. I never thought that Cheng Ke could have something to do with this Tanshen Town. I just felt like I was sucked into a huge whirlpool, and I could only get more and more trapped. Deeper, but unable to pull out!
"Lu Qiao!" Suddenly, in the main room of the ancestral hall, the fourth aunt leaned out half of her body and waved to me: "Come here, fourth aunt, I have something to talk to you alone."

I just felt that this was a great opportunity to escape from Cheng Ke's side, so I hurried over: "Fourth aunt, what's the matter?"

The fourth aunt pulled me over, looked carefully at Cheng Ke who stayed under the locust tree, lowered her voice, and said, "After you and him form the art of yin and yang to control ghosts, can you do things like men and women?"

I never thought that the fourth aunt I met on the first day today would ask such a question!Can't help being dumbfounded: "This..."

"The art of yin and yang to control ghosts is a secret art that has long been lost. I don't know how you learned it, but this forbidden art has its own taboos, not only the contract on yin and yang, but also the intercourse on yin and yang. You said, this is a matter of life and death, so I can't help but feel shy." The fourth aunt's eyes were somewhat urgent: "Say it quickly!"

Coitus?My face turned red immediately: "It's not that I didn't say anything, it's just that I don't know..."

"You don't know?" The fourth aunt looked at me like a monster, turned around and took out a bottle from the cabinet of the ancestral hall, and tapped the red thing in the bottle on my bare arm, Then, I wiped it with my hands again, but the redness could not be wiped off!
I was taken aback: "Fourth aunt, what is this? Could it be the one in the legend..."

"That's right, it's Shou Gongsha." The fourth aunt stared at the red mark: "You... are still a virgin!"

Is there really such a thing in the world?And... Cheng Ke, he really didn't do anything to me...

I breathed a sigh of relief, but the fourth aunt's expression was not relaxed. Instead, she became serious. She looked at me and asked, "But, hasn't your menstruation come for a long time?"

My heart trembled suddenly: "You... how do you know?"
