The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 37 Seeing the Ghost Mother

37
Mi Congcong glanced at the stupid big man who had already slept well, and suddenly lost his temper: "Give me another room."

"That's right, it's too hot to sleep together on such a hot day." Ade consciously found an excuse for Mi Congcong, smiled and went to find the shopkeeper.

When it was almost dawn, Mi Congcong was awakened by thunder. She looked out of the window, and another lightning flashed across the night sky. It was raining heavily outside at some point.

It rained for a long time, and it didn't stop until Mi Congcong finished his breakfast.

Guo Hongyuan was still sleeping like a pig, Mi Congcong went into the house to get the Taoist robe and the things he needed and went out.

The ghost had just come over while she was having breakfast and asked her to go with him.

"Rent a carriage and go to Chenjiazhuang outside the city." As soon as he reached the street, the male ghost spoke to Mi Congcong without any doubt.

The weather is gloomy today, and the male ghost is closely following Mi Congcong.

Mi Congcong's phoenix eyes stared slightly: "It's very expensive to rent a carriage, I'll just walk, you don't have to worry, I can walk very quickly."

Isn't this turning a corner and asking her to pay back?The money for renting a carriage is enough to buy food for her family for several days.

Seeing the male ghost's expression distorted in an instant, Mi Congcong's heart tightened, and he changed his words in embarrassment: "All right, rent a carriage, rent a carriage!"

Mi Congcong rented a horse-drawn carriage for Chenjiazhuang in pain. She didn't notice the male ghost's ugly expression when she was bargaining with the coachman.

Although the male ghost felt that Mi Congcong was petty, he had to admit that this little girl was really powerful, and he insisted on cutting the price of the car from two taels of silver to just one tael.

In fact, Mi Congcong is not good at negotiating with others, but now she has inherited the memory of the original owner, and the original owner has been struggling in the business field for many years in the previous life, making many men feel inferior, and is better at figuring out people's hearts.

Chenjiazhuang was just outside the city, less than ten miles away, and Mi Congcong felt that one tael of silver for this distance was within a reasonable price range.

It rained heavily last night, and the road leading to Chenjiazhuang was full of water. The carriage trembled for a while before arriving outside Chenjiazhuang village.

Mi Congcong got off the car outside Chenjiazhuang Village and put on a Taoist robe before entering the village.

When such a little Taoist priest came to the village, the villagers were shocked and frightened, and they all guessed which family had an accident and needed a Taoist priest?

"Little Taoist, what are you doing in our village?" Finally a middle-aged woman couldn't help asking.

Mi Congcong glanced at the male ghost who was leading him the way, and smiled: "I'm looking for Chen Mengliang's mother, Mrs. Chen."

Mi Congcong found that as soon as he spoke, the expressions of all the people present changed, and everyone became vigilant.

"You little Taoist priest, why are you looking for Chen Mengliang's mother?" After everyone looked at each other, the middle-aged woman began to probe.

"There's something wrong." Mi Congcong sensed the hostility of the villagers in Chenjiazhuang, and dealt with it carefully.

"Don't worry about it, hurry up!" The male ghost sneered and floated forward.

Mi Congcong found that after entering the village, the male ghost's chilly aura seemed to subside a bit, and his eyes were not so cold, so the sudden scolding startled her.

"Little Taoist priest, let's take you to Mrs. Chen." The middle-aged woman chased after the eyes of the villagers.

Mi Congcong subconsciously glanced at the male ghost again, only to see the male ghost smiled, this smile was a little joyful, which made Mi Congcong startled.

This was the first time she saw such a warm smile on the male ghost's face.

This idea just came up, but was cut off by Mi Congcong.

She is really crazy, how can a ghost have a warm smile?
On the way to Chen Mengliang's house, the middle-aged woman kept telling Mi Congcong what she said, but Mi Congcong fudged it all the time.

The middle-aged woman brought Mi Congcong to a very grand courtyard with a closed gate, and said, "This is Mengliang's home."

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she went to knock on the door.

The male ghost next to Mi Congcong looked at the gate quietly, without any change in his expression.

After a while, the courtyard gate opened, and the middle-aged woman said something to the servant. The servant glanced at Mi Congcong, closed the door again, and within a quarter of an hour came out again to see Mi Congcong and Zhong Congcong. The young woman invited in.

Seeing the male ghost standing there motionless, Mi Congcong lowered his voice and said, "Go in quickly."

"I can't get in, you go and invite my mother out."

Mi Congcong followed his gaze to the door, only to find that there are door gods on both sides of the door.

"Then I'll try, but I can't guarantee whether I can invite your mother out." Mi Congcong said in a low voice.

As if he didn't hear Mi Congcong's words, the male ghost continued to instruct: "When you ask my mother to come out, ask her to pick off the prayer beads on her hand."

Mi Congcong's phoenix eyes turned slightly. It turned out that the ghost couldn't come to his mother by itself because he couldn't get close to his mother?
In other words, this ghost is not afraid of anything!

The Chen family is a courtyard with five entrances, covering a large area. It is estimated that there are very few families in Feiyu County who can live in such a large courtyard.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be very familiar with the Chen family, and the Chen family also trusted her, so she led Mi Congcong through the second gate to the side courtyard.

As soon as he entered the side yard, Mi Congcong could smell the pungent incense.

As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, they saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid who came forward to greet them: "Aunt Xiuhong, my old lady is waiting for you and the little Taoist priest in the side hall of the Buddhist hall."

The middle-aged woman exchanged a few words with the maid, and then took Mi Congcong into the side hall.

Mi Congcong couldn't figure it out, when they came in just now, they didn't meet a few servants, the courtyard seemed deserted, and the old lady of the Chen family actually lived in the side courtyard, which was too unreasonable.

"Sister Bai, long time no see, how are you doing lately?" As soon as she entered the side hall, Aunt Xiuhong, whom the maid was talking about, greeted the old lady sitting in the hall holding a Buddhist bead with concern.

The male ghost just mentioned something to Mi Congcong, saying that his mother's maiden name is Bai, presumably the "sister Bai" that this middle-aged woman calls is the male ghost's mother.

This old Mrs. Chen looks to be in her sixties, with silver hair and an old face, with a faint sadness in her expression, and her eyes are still soft at this moment.

"Is there anything good about me, isn't it just like this?" Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly, glanced at Mi Congcong, and said to Xiuhong: "You know that I don't want to see people, why do you bring me with you?" Xiao Dao is here?"

Hearing this, Mi Congcong finally realized that without this middle-aged woman, he might not even be able to see Mrs. Chen's face. Scolded hundreds of times.

Knowing that his mother was nowhere to be seen, he still let her come!
"Sister Bai, I know that what happened to Mengliang has hit you hard, but seeing you like this makes the folks feel sad..."

"Xiuhong, didn't I tell you that you are not to blame for Mengliang's death, and you don't have to feel sorry for me. I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace." Mrs. Chen interrupted the middle-aged woman. As a human being, it seems that he has completely forgotten that there is an outsider like Mi Congcong.
