Chapter 15 Lou Family Collection (5)
Zhu Qingsheng couldn't help asking, "Old man, how did you know?"
Lou Kangcheng glanced at the two of them and said, "Come with the old man."
Lou Kangcheng's home is in front of the house, surrounded by wooden railings, two layers of wooden sticks were placed in the southeast corner of the yard, and they were surrounded by hemp rope nets, which seemed to be where chickens and ducks were raised, but the inside was empty, and a chicken and duck were gone. There was a haystack on the west side, leaning against the wall, there were only three earthen houses in the yard, with windows and doors closed, and the yard had not been cleaned for a long time. The homemade wooden table was thick with dust, and it looked lifeless.
Lou Kangcheng pushed open the house in the middle, and a smell of smoke came to his face. Inside the main entrance, there were two spiritual positions on the table. The left side read "The Spiritual Statue of the Yuzi Lou Yun" and the right side read "The Spiritual Statue of the Chang family of Lou Men" was written. Lou Kang saw that the incense was burning out, so he stepped forward and lit three more, inserted it expressionlessly into the incense burner and walked aside.
Sima Yuanji felt sorry for the elder brother who lost two close relatives for a moment and signaled Zhu Qingsheng to bow three times together.
Zhu Qingsheng saw that the room was dead, only a little light was there in front of the tablet, and the flames as big as beans shone on the tablet, and the light and shadow were inconsistent, making it even more depressing and uncomfortable. When he followed the master three times before, he felt sad for Lou Kangcheng's family. But after standing in the room for a long time, he felt an inexplicable depression and nervousness.
At this time, Lou Kangcheng took out a ball of brown cloth and said, "The room is too dark, you two should come out."
Zhu Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and followed his master and sat down at the yard table.
Lou Kangcheng opened the brown cloth layer by layer, revealing a bright red veil, with two phoenixes with joy with their necks embroidered with yellow thread in the middle, but the red veil did not look festive, but it had a sense of silence and terrible feeling.
Zhu Qingsheng couldn't help but shivered, turned his head and stopped looking.
Sima Yuanji reached out and stroked the edge gently, feeling that the hands were cold, and the needle and thread were full of death. He retracted his hands and remained silent.
Lou Kangcheng closed the red veil again and said, "Sir, you can feel it too."
Sima Yuanji nodded and said, "Can you tell me about the bride and groom seven years ago?"
Lou Kangcheng picked up the dry tobacco, took a few more sips, pondered for a long time before saying, "I can't remember this matter. If it weren't for the haunted recently, I would have forgotten it. It has to start from eight or nine years ago that the groom is called Lu Jian, a native of Baisha Town, Bali Road, and the bride's name is Lou Huixin. Her mother died early, so she would be a farmer. Both families are wealthy families. It is said that the couple met at the morning market. At that time, Lou Huixin helped her father sell fish. Maybe it was at that time that Lu Jian went to buy fish and fell in love with it."
"The two are both at the age of discussing marriage. Lu Jian invited a matchmaker and said, "The husband has a love and a concubine is interested. The parents of the two families have met each other again. They are both satisfied and happy, so they decided to make the marriage. Unexpectedly, on the day of the wedding, they disappeared together. After searching for a long time, they didn't find it. Others said that they had taken the wrong Yin-Yang Road. Looking at the little old man's village, they all said that it was because of the unjust souls who walked into the Yin-Yang Road seven years ago, so every family closed their doors and every household closed their doors."
Sima Yuanji asked, "So do you have any enemies in the two families?"
Lou Kangzhenma shook his head and said, "These are all honest people, how could there be..." At this point, he suddenly paused: "But...but...then...this matter is not considered an enemy."
"What?"
"It was ten years ago, a playboy brother appeared from somewhere. He was a dumb guy. He seemed to be the last name of Quan. I forgot his name. When I passed by..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Qingsheng was suddenly shocked and remembered the incident of Yu Xiu's talk about asking people to catch ghosts in the whole mansion. I wonder if this young master surnamed Quan has anything to do with the whole mansion?
Lou Kangcheng continued to say, "When the guy saw Huixin look good, he teased her with a silly face. Although Huixin's child was very angry, the young master's family had money. He said directly that he might cause trouble. At this time, the village chief gave her an idea and asked her to tell the young master that the person she liked must have some knowledge, otherwise he would not look down on him. Huixin said to the young master, but unexpectedly, the young master agreed immediately, saying that he would pass the exam and marry Huixin's child. After leaving, he never came back. I am afraid that if he didn't pass the exam, he would have no shame to come back. This is not an enemy."
Sima Yuan and his index finger tapped their foreheads, not knowing what they were thinking.
Zhu Qingsheng remembered something and said, "Old man, what's the matter with the wealthy businessman's treasure hunting you?"
Lou Kangcheng's face showed an angry and sad look: "Now all this is not the ones who are the three profiteers. I don't know what news they heard from that, saying that there was a treasure in Poyang Lake, so he brought a large group of dog legs to stir up the matter. Those who were not familiar with the place would spend money to hire a large number of people to help. It was because they, the child followed him and died tragically after he came back. The village also began to kill people one after another. I think that, I'm afraid that those profiteers would annoy the Heshen Master and come to take revenge on us."
The sunset was dim, and the shadows of the three of them were dragged on the ground. A breeze blew, and a shadow seemed to be blurred.
Sima Yuanji looked at the red veil several times. The veil was brand new, but it also had a sense of death. Is it really the veil of the bride seven years ago? Or was it because it was taken down from the dead Lou Yun's hand that it was contaminated with death?
Zhu Qingsheng never dared to walk into the house where the spiritual seat was worshipped alone, so he sat in the yard, idle, and remembered all the fragments that the storyteller said.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!" A few gongs pierced the sunset, and a noisy sound rang from far to near in the streets and alleys of Loujiaji: "Don't let the thief run away, Lao Qi, block the back road, Lao Si, come with me."
A shout came immediately, and it seemed like he was running towards the house.
Hearing this attitude, it seemed that the constable was catching some thief. Could it be that the murderer who harmed the place was finally arrested? Zhu Qingsheng thought of this and couldn't help but get up and watch.
Sima Yuan and his ears moved slightly and shouted suddenly: "No, a thief is coming to us."
Before he finished speaking, a man in black jumped up from the roof in front, and a black light flashed in his hand, and countless hidden weapons came to his head.
Sima Yuan and Daxiu shook most of the hidden weapons with true power, and a small part fell around the three of them, which did not work. Zhu Qingsheng looked closely and found that they were stones or something. Zhu Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he heard a sound, and the master suddenly fell on the table.
Just as he was about to help the master up, he heard a very hoarse voice behind him shouting: "Ghost, ghost! Don't come over, don't come over!"
Looking back, Lou Kangcheng looked at the red veil with fear and panic on his face.
