Chapter 19: The Red Candle


"I've seen this kind of death, there is a man in our countryside who was scared to death by his mother-in-law who died early, and the death is exactly like the Tingfang girl."

Aunt Wu was about to cry in fright, and her nails hurt Hong Yu's palms.

Hong Yu's heart was already hairy, and when she cried, she was even more frightened, and now she no longer thinks about making a difference, so she hurriedly walked out of the west wing, closed the door heavily, and blocked the smell of mushy behind the door, only then did she take a few breaths and force herself to calm down.

"Girl, I didn't bluff you, this Tingfang was scared to death, you look at her appearance, she must have seen something terrifying."

Standing under the sun, Aunt Wu also calmed down and began to express her opinions with her head held high.

"Fuck your shit, scared to death, then how did her corpse run under the stove, could it be that she crawled over by herself after she died?"

Hongyu interrupted her impatiently.

"Yes, when I saw Ting Fang, her head was stuffed into the stove entirely, unless someone stuffed it in, who would kill people like this, it's really vicious, except for me in the yard, there is only the new Miss Xie left, is it?"

Before he finished speaking, the courtyard door "creaked" and was pushed open, Xie Xiaoyu held a basket in his hand, walked towards the two of them in a curling manner, and when he came to Aunt Wu, he glanced at her obliquely, "Auntie, I just seem to hear you calling me." ” Aunt Wu lowered her head and laughed, "No, no, I think the girl heard it." ” Xie Xiaoyu didn't argue, just looked at her with a smile, staring at Aunt Wu's back.

"Miss Xie, what are you doing in this side room, it's bad luck here, don't get contaminated with you."

Hong Yu came up to relieve Aunt Wu.

Xie Xiaoyu smiled, "Although I didn't get along with Tingfang for a long time, but she died like this, I still think I should come to give her a ride, and I can't let her go on the road so alone."

These words were said lightly, but when Hong Yu and Aunt Wu heard it in their ears, it was quite unpleasant.

After speaking, she withdrew her gaze from the two of them, pushed open the door of the west wing and walked in, arranged the sacrifices in the basket one by one, and then folded her hands together and chanted at Ting Fang's strange-looking corpse.

Seeing this, Hong Yu hurriedly pulled Aunt Wu out of the yard, and the two walked all the way to the garden before stopping.

"Oops, it scares me to death, this Miss Xie is really not an ordinary person, and she doesn't change her face in the face of such a corpse."

Hongyu took out two ingots of silver and stuffed them into Aunt Wu's palm, "Help me keep an eye on her, report anything to Mrs. immediately, if you really catch her mistake, there will be you in the future." ” Aunt Wu said on her lips How dare I, but her eyes were all focused on the two ingots of silver shining, and at the end, she smiled and put the silver into her cuffs, "Girl, say okay, I'll help you keep an eye on her, I don't dare to take care of other things, I can't manage other things, if something really happens, don't embarrass me." ” Hong Yu nodded impatiently at her, and walked towards the east courtyard.

The moon climbed to the top of the tree little by little, and Aunt Wu sat under the dead walnut tree in the courtyard, staring at the upstairs window for a long time.

Qin Yingbao was going out to socialize tonight, and he came to see Xie Xiaoyu at dusk, he brought two carefully selected girls over, and also told Aunt Wu to cook a few more dishes for Xie Xiaoyu every day, so he went out with confidence.

But before it was time, the two girls came out of the house, saying that Xie Xiaoyu asked them to have fun by themselves, she was going to sleep, and it was boring for the two to be idle, so they found an excuse to sneak out of the yard.

Aunt Wu didn't dare to leave, although she was rude, she also knew the truth of eating people's short mouths, so she kept sitting in the courtyard, staring at the window that had turned off the lights early, and didn't dare to slack off at all.

The wind blew the dead branches above her head into a "quarry", Aunt Wu shivered, and just wanted to go back to the room to add some clothes, but she heard a brainless laugh floating upstairs, the laughter was crisp and tactful, but it was not like Xie Xiaoyu's voice.

She wondered, and took a few steps closer to the attic, trying to hear the voice more closely.

But the voice did not appear again, but a red light suddenly lit up in the attic, Aunt Wu stared at the upstairs with wide eyes, but the red light disappeared "suddenly", leaving only two black windows.

Eye-catching?

She rubbed her eyelids vigorously, but before she could put her hand down, the red light lit up again, and before long, it disappeared again, leaving a faint red shadow in the darkness.

At this moment, Aunt Wu sensed that something was wrong, she wanted to go to the East Courtyard to find Hongyu to come over, but after thinking about it, if she came, the vision was gone, wouldn't it be in vain to waste her own efforts.

Finally, the greed for money overcame the fear, and she crept up the stairs, holding her hand to the wall, and walked towards the attic as little as she could.

There is only one floor in the attic, and the stairs are neither cramped nor tortuous, but in such a not narrow space, Aunt Wu's heart is like a drum, beating non-stop, she feels that today's stairs are unusually dark, the moonlight seems to be separated by something, and it can't shine into this space at all, and the darkness is condensed layer by layer, touching the fear buried at the bottom of her heart.

"Whew."

Another red light lit up the entire staircase at once, Aunt Wu felt that the back of her neck was rubbed by a cool thing, she turned her head quickly, but the light disappeared again before she turned her head, and only the corner of her eye caught a fleeting ray of black.

What is it?

Hair?

Why is there hair in the back At this point, Aunt Wu finally knew that something was wrong, and it was clearly coming at her, like a trap set in advance.

It was her, she deliberately sent away the two maidservants, and lured herself upstairs with such a strange red light.

But by the time we realized this, it was already too late.

The top of her head was lightly touched again, and it was the same as Fang Cai's feeling, Aunt Wu was so frightened that she squatted on the top of the steps, holding her face with her hands, and closed her eyes and screamed for help, but in the end, it turned into begging for mercy.

"Miss Xie, it's none of my business, it was Mrs. and Miss Hongyu who asked me to keep an eye on you, I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything, girl, no, grandma, you don't remember the villain, just spare me" "Why don't you take a look, aren't you curious?"

A voice that didn't belong to Xie Xiaoyu floated down overhead.

Aunt Wu put down her hands, and the ghost slowly raised her head upward.

Xie Xiaoyu hung upside down on the stairs, her thick braid hanging down, and the braid swept over Aunt Wu's head.

And the reason why Aunt Wu was able to see her so clearly was because she took out the red candle, the red candle that she held in her mouth.
