31, Chapter 31(4/5)
Juesheng and Qizhi shouted: "What happened?"
The servant came in and said, "Replying to the two Taoist priests, the lights in the main room suddenly went out and turned on again a moment ago. Uncle Cheng has led the guards to see what happened."
Teng Yuyi only felt a gust of wind blowing on the back of her neck. The main room was her mother-in-law's bedroom. This time she returned to Beijing and specially brought her mother-in-law's belongings back with her. Except for those she wanted to touch every day, most of them were stored in the main room.
Du Tinglan was shocked: "Could it be that the corpse evil is here? The lights in Prince Cheng's Mansion were turned off for no reason last night."
Juesheng and Qizhi ran to the east and west and stood still: "Be careful of the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We can't leave this place without permission."
Du Tinglan shouted: "If Mr. Cheng has any news, come over quickly and reply."
The servants left in response, and everyone in the courtyard was frightened and uneasy. Fortunately, Uncle Cheng came not long after. He entered the courtyard and replied: "Madam, don't worry, the two ram's horn lamps are indeed turned off in the main room, but after the old slave carefully
After inspection, it was found that the lamp oil was exhausted. In the evening, the old servant ordered lamps to be lit in every corner of the house. The lamp oil was out of supply for a while, and it went out before I could replenish the lamp oil. Now it has been replenished. Just now, the master personally inspected everywhere.
There are no signs of intruders inside or outside, and the master also said that he will personally guard outside Songtao Hall later and will not leave even half a step tonight."
Not long after, footsteps were heard again outside the courtyard. Teng Shao personally led the guards and surrounded Songtao Garden, while he stood outside the door holding a tree.
When everyone saw Teng Shao's tall and slender back, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Teng Shao was a famous general with great ambitions. He usually went into battle to kill enemies, and killed thousands of people while talking and laughing. Even if he was only wearing regular clothes, he still had a certain aura.
A majestic and murderous aura.
Teng Yuyi was still frowning, and Du Tinglan thought for a while and said: "After the lights were turned off in Prince Cheng's Mansion last night, everyone in the mansion couldn't open the fire discount. If the corpse evil really came, how could they light the oil lamp easily? Maybe the lamp oil is really not enough, and now my uncle
We're all here, don't get into trouble."
After this experience, everyone no longer had the time to talk. The night was as cold as water, and the wind gradually started to blow. Du Tinglan was the first to be unable to bear it, and quietly gathered her silk robe.
Teng Yuyi was worried that her cousin would catch a cold, so she pulled Du Tinglan into the house.
Juesheng said: "Mrs. Teng, Madam Du, if you are tired, you might as well take a nap. Juesheng and I only meditated on the low couch last night and never went to bed to sleep."
Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi looked at each other and smiled.
Du Tinglan whispered: "These two little dolls are so interesting."
Immediately he raised his voice and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Master Taoist, but Ayu and I don't feel tired. We just need to sit for a while and it will be fine."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qi Zhi's face: "Juesheng, Madam Teng and Madam Du are not like you who can take a nap wherever they want. There are so many people inside and outside, and they can't sleep even if they want to."
Juesheng muttered: "I'm just concerned, what's bothering you? You're so verbose, even more verbose than Master."
"You, you... how dare you be so disrespectful to Master!"
Teng Yuyi was very happy to listen to the two of them bickering, but the quarrel stopped after a few words. She was a little bored and had nowhere to go, so she simply moved the chessboard in and had a hand-to-hand chat with Du Tinglan. She soon felt sleepy.
He barely held his chin up, but his head couldn't stop knocking down.
Du Tinglan said: "Are you tired? Why don't you take a nap and my sister will stay with you."
Teng Yuyi nodded, listening to the calm outside, she lay down on the table and fell asleep. In a daze, Du Tinglan covered her with something, and her body gradually became warm. She became more and more sleepy, and fell asleep soon.
She didn't know how long she had slept, and her arms and feet were extremely sore. Teng Yuyi woke up in a daze and planned to change the pillow on her other arm. As soon as she raised her head, she realized that her ears were extremely quiet. She sat up and took a look. She was the only one in the room, Du Tinglan.
Gone.
Teng Yuyi's back suddenly broke out with thin drops of sweat: "Sister."
It was only after I called him that I realized that I could speak. How could I suddenly—suddenly be able to speak?
She was confused and hurriedly went to find the house. Du Tinglan was not under the verandah. No, not only Du Tinglan, but also Juesheng and Qizhi were missing.
Teng Yuyi knew something was wrong. Could she be dreaming? She pinched her arm, feeling a sharp pain. In desperation, she touched her sleeve. Fortunately, Xiaoya Jian was still there.
Teng Yuyi calmed down, held the hilt of the sword tightly and said, "Xiao Ya."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaoya Sword began to feel hot. Teng Yuyi felt happy and lowered her voice: "Come out quickly, I have something to ask you."
Unexpectedly, the Xiaoya Sword quickly became cold again. Teng Yuyi did not expect it. She knew that this time was very unusual. She looked around anxiously and slowly walked down the steps. Uncle Cheng was gone, and the Spring Velvet Biluo was gone. In an instant,
Suddenly, she was the only one left in the entire Teng Mansion.
Teng Yuyi had an illusion in her heart, as if she had returned to that terrible night in her previous life. There was an unfathomable trap lurking on the opposite side. All her struggles were in vain. The man was determined to take their lives, no matter where she escaped.
, don’t even think about escaping this catastrophe.
She tried to calm down and walked slowly outside. Her grandpa was at the door. As long as he was still there, everything would be easy.
She shouted in a low voice: "Grandpa."
There was silence at the courtyard door.
"Grandpa?"
Still no sound.
Teng Yu's heart sank, but my grandfather had an extraordinary ear and he would definitely answer her call.
This situation was so weird that Teng Yuyi's palms were filled with sweat. Even if everyone in the house ran away, he should not abandon her.
Could it be that something unexpected happened to Grandpa? Her legs trembled, and she moved out step by step. Desperation filled the air, and she couldn't help shouting again: "Grandpa."
When he walked to the door and raised his eyes, Teng Yuyi's eyes froze. He saw two people standing in front of a rock outside the courtyard door. They were tall and straight, it was Teng Shao, and the other was a slim woman.
The moon is cloudless tonight. The moonlight shines down and casts a silvery glow all over the world. This woman is graceful and graceful, wearing a goose-yellow red cloud-like brocade skirt. The woman is talking softly and is caressing Teng Shao's face.
Teng Shao's Adam's apple rolled and he stared at the woman, as if he was in a daze.
Teng Yuyi looked at the woman in shock. There was no mistaking her. That face was clearly visible in the moonlight. The familiar eyebrows, familiar corners of the mouth, familiar sideburns, and even the cinnabar mole under the ear were exactly the same.
Her teeth were chattering, and she wanted to go over and take a closer look, but her legs were as heavy as lead. She saw her grandfather slowly kneeling down, hugging the woman's legs and crying loudly: "Hui Niang."
The woman seemed to be very sad. She bent down and held Teng Shao's head in her arms, wailing more and more.
Teng Yuyi swayed and walked towards the woman in a daze. There was a gentleness about the woman. Hearing Teng Yuyi's footsteps, he slowly turned his head and saw that it was Teng Yuyi. Every line on his face relaxed softly.
The tears in Teng Yuyi's eyes were already on the verge of falling. Her face could be fake, but her eyes could not deceive others. Only her mother-in-law would look at her like this in the world.
Mrs. Teng was choked with sobs and couldn't speak. She stretched out her hand towards Teng Yuyi: "Ayu."
Teng Yuyi burst into tears. She had dreamed of this scene many times, but she was at a loss when it came true. Her mother-in-law was back. She sobbed and took big steps, rushing over: "Mother-in-law.
"
Mrs. Teng burst into tears and opened her arms to wait for her daughter to come into her arms.
Teng Yuyi cried bitterly and threw herself into her mother's arms. She had only seen the skirt on her mother's body a few days ago when she was sorting out her belongings. The familiar pattern of grass and brocade closely matched her mother's name. All her belongings were stored in the upper room. That was Ah Niang's.
It was my mother’s unique mark. She smelled the quiet scent on her blouse, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She recognized it even if it was a dream. No one knew better than her how much she missed her grandma.
Mrs. Teng hugged her husband and daughter tightly, and her clothes quickly became wet with tears. Teng Shao seemed to be too distracted to notice that his daughter was here. Not only did he not say a word, he never even looked at his daughter.
When Teng Yuyi heard her mother's cry, her heart twisted into a ball. She clenched her mother's hands and sobbed: "Aniang, are you doing well... Could it be that I am dreaming... Aniang, my daughter is obedient.
Grandma, please don’t leave again."
Mrs. Teng said in a trembling voice: "Okay, I won't leave. I will stay with you father and daughter from now on, and I will never be separated from you again."
Teng Yuyi's ears were buzzing, and the sudden surprise overwhelmed her. It took her a long time to react, and while wiping away her tears desperately, she said incoherently to Teng Shao: "Grandpa, did you hear that? I won't leave in the future."
Already."
Teng Shao ignored his daughter's words and was still immersed in miserable emotions. Teng Yuyi's heart suddenly shrank. She looked at Teng Shao and then at Mrs. Teng, and her lips trembled: "Auntie, do you still want to leave?"
Mrs. Teng's eyes were full of sadness, she stroked the top of Teng Yuyi's hair and cried without answering.
Teng Yuyi's mind went blank. She went from ecstasy to despair in just an instant. This kind of blow was so cruel that it almost crushed her internal organs in an instant. She lowered her head in shock, then raised her head again: "Aniang, I, I
I can’t bear to leave you, please don’t leave, please, please, grandma.”
She grabbed Mrs. Teng's belt and cried like a child.
Mrs. Teng's eyes were heartbreaking, but her words were cruel: "Ayu, how can I let you go? But I am forever separated from you, so I can't help but leave you."
Teng Yuyi's entire chest was hollowed out. It felt like a blunt knife cutting flesh, gouging out her heart and heart. She looked at that gentle and amiable face and said slowly: "Auntie, why did you coax me just now?"
Mrs. Teng cried: "Because I dream of coming back to you."
Teng Yuyi's tears couldn't stop flowing down her face, and she opened her arms to her mother: "Mom, then hug me again."
Mrs. Teng bent down with tears in her eyes, and Teng Yuyi choked and pressed against her. Suddenly her face darkened and she took out the sword from her sleeve.
The sword unexpectedly stabbed Mrs. Teng. Teng Yuyi said with tears in her eyes: "How could I torture my daughter on purpose? You are clearly a monster. If you dare to pretend to be my grandma, I will fight with you!"
Mrs. Teng's tears were still hanging on her cheeks, but she didn't want to avoid them. Her fingernails were as red as cherries, and they suddenly swelled several inches. A strange smile appeared on her face, and she reached out to grab Teng Yuyi's heart.
At this moment, there was a sharp roar from behind, and a golden arrow was shot from the sky, hitting Mrs. Teng's eyebrows straight.
Mrs. Teng squinted her eyes upwards, leaving Teng Yuyi to catch the weird golden arrow. But at this moment, another silver chain flew out and wrapped around Mrs. Teng's neck with lightning speed.
.
Zhixie clasped the silver chain with both hands, his eyes became extremely fierce, but before he could tear the chain apart, he was dragged away from the place.
Someone exclaimed ecstatically: "Caught! Caught!"
"Master Patriarch, bless me! I didn't expect that the old Taoist would be able to catch Xie Xie in his lifetime!"
"Your Majesty, this method is better. If I hadn't endured it until now, would I have been able to lure the corpse evil into the trap?"
"Hahahahaha, it is busy setting up traps to confuse people's minds. It doesn't pay attention to the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it. It must have fallen into the trap after all. Let's see where it escapes."
