Chapter 325 The Weird He Family
The woman is crawling out quietly.
Suddenly, he was pressed on his back and lay sprawled on the ground. He turned to look at the man behind him with a look of horror on his face, and begged.
“Please, let me go!”
??Wu Xian looked at this woman curiously. She was wearing a green and white cheongsam, a furry shawl on her shoulders, a fair and delicate face, a graceful figure, and various jewelry such as gold hairpins and jade bracelets...
"Who are you?"
The woman shrank back: "I...my name is Du Rushi, and I am the seventh young mistress of the He family."
??Wu Xian touched his chin: "Hey, there are quite a few young masters from the He family. It seems I''m lucky. I can catch a useful one casually."
Du Rushi cried: "I''m useless!"
"No, no, no, you are very useful." Wu Xian said with a bad smile on his face, "As long as I use you as a hostage, I will have a bargaining chip with the He family."
?Du Rushi looked at Wu Xian, the expression on his face slowly changed from horror to helplessness, self-mockery, and speechlessness.
"You can''t use me to blackmail the He family. You can only drag me to death with you."
From a woman’s eyes.
Wu Xian could know that what she said was true.
But this is strange, how could the identity of the seventh young mistress not be important at all?
?Wu Xian looked up at the sky. The sun was almost setting and it was getting dark.
He couldn''t spend too much time here, so he asked Du Rushi to take him to the Three Immortals Auditorium.
But when Du Rushi heard about the Three Immortals Auditorium, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. He refused to take Wu Xian there, as if there was something terrifying there.
??Wu Xian could only threaten with a telescopic stick, and then she gave in in horror...
On the road.
Wu Xian asked a lot about the He family.
?Du Rushi was reluctant to say anything at first, but maybe it was because no one had chatted with her for so long, so she started chatting after asking.
In the Immortal City, the He family has a high status.
?Everyone thinks that as long as a woman marries into any family, she will be happy and have a good life. Du Rushi thought so at first.
But after marrying into He’s family.
?Du Rushi realized how strange and indifferent the He family was.
Even though she has been married into the He family for so long, she still knows nothing about this family.
I only know that the He family has a master and a dozen young masters. The family has no branches. The daughters of the He family have all been married off, and all the young ladies can only move around in a small area.
Even her husband feels very strange to her.
She remembered the wedding day very clearly. She put on a bright red wedding dress in the middle of the night, was helped to the Third Immortal Hall, and got married to the Seventh Young Master under the witness of the Three Immortals.
Throughout the whole wedding process, she didn''t feel any joy or shyness at all. She just felt scared for no reason and wanted to escape from the auditorium as soon as possible.
Her head was covered with a red cloth during the whole process, so she could only see the feet of other people. What was a little strange was that the feet of the guests at the wedding were a little fluffy, as if they were standing on tiptoes...
After the wedding.
?Life is still weird.
Even until now after getting married, she still doesn’t know what her husband looks like.
The seventh young master would come to see her every ten days or so, and each time he came at night, the atmosphere was hazy, like a dream. When she woke up in the morning, she would feel extremely tired, as if her body had been hollowed out. It often takes a few days of rest to recover...
"This kind of life will drive people crazy!" Soon Du Rushi''s topic turned from herself to other people.
These dozen so-called ''young ladies'' are like caged birds. They can only move around in some areas of He''s house. They have maids to take care of them in their daily life. However, those maids are cold and just obey orders and will not say caring words to them. So usually young ladies will leave the maids and party secretly.
"The third young mistress was the first one who couldn''t bear it. She was so depressed that she almost went crazy. She felt that her husband was not a human being. She wanted to test it using the method she heard from the old man. She didn''t know where she got some incense ash from, and she spent the evening with the third young master. When you get home, sprinkle it in front of the door..."
“After that...I haven’t seen her.”
“Later I heard that she was kicked out of the He family, lived in a deserted village, and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well…”
?Wu Xian''s heart moved slightly.
The third young lady she was talking about should be the female ghost they killed in Wu Burial Village!
The more Du Rushi talked, the more he felt his body getting colder.
In the past, in order to protect herself, she tried her best to comfort herself and hypnotize herself, so as not to think about these things. Today, when she talked to Wu Xian, the more she talked, the more creepy she felt.
So much so that I felt that every plant and tree in the He family was terrifying, but Wu Xian, the coercor who emerged from the earth, was safer than her husband...
So she subconsciously grabbed Wu Xian''s clothes.
?While Du Rushi was telling stories, Wu Xian was also observing everything in the He family.
?The He family is very big, very big, with an area comparable to that of a university campus, and the layout is like a maze. Without Du Rushi to lead the way, it would be difficult for him to find the Three Immortals Auditorium quickly.
In addition, except for a few areas, most of the land in the He family has not been hardened. It is just a dirt floor that has been weeded. Many of the dirt on the ground have traces of being turned over. Under those traces, all the bodies should be buried...
They met many patrolling servants on the road. These servants all had gloomy faces, their steps were sloppy, and their footprints were light as they walked on the road.
? Judging from Du Rushi''s expression, these servants usually don''t have a good look towards the ''young mistresses''.
Walked for a while.
They finally arrived at the Three Immortals Auditorium.
This auditorium is simply majestic. It is a typical verandah-style building with five ridges and a single eaves. It is nine rooms wide and five rooms deep. It is 40 to 50 meters long and 20 to 30 meters wide. Counting the platform, it is two More than ten meters high…
?Wu Xian had only seen this kind of large wooden building in some temples before.
The auditorium was very empty, and everything inside could be seen at a glance. As soon as Wu Xiang stepped in, he felt cold all over. This was definitely not a good place.
“Where are the coffins? Where are the coffins and urns?”
Du Rushi asked doubtfully: "Why are you looking for a coffin? That thing is very unlucky and approaching it rashly is taboo... But I did hear that the He family often has some ''safe'' coffins, but that kind of thing is not good." Maybe put it in the auditorium."
?Wu Xian was silent.
?This auditorium should be the mourning hall mentioned in the Dudu.
??He thought the lost coffins and urns would be here, but he didn''t expect that there would be nothing here. So how could he complete a proper funeral before twelve o''clock tonight?
?Wu Xian''s mood hit rock bottom and his train of thought suddenly stopped.
At this time.
?Du Rushi''s hand grabbing Wu Xian''s arm suddenly became stronger.
??Wu Xian frowned and saw that Du Rushi was looking towards the entrance of the auditorium tremblingly. Following her gaze, he saw two people walking quickly!
One is a tall old woman who walks very impressively.
The other one is the maid who is following the old woman with her head lowered.
