Chapter 42
"My lord, are you here to go to the toilet too?"

Outside, came the voice of the servant girl.

Fang Yao frowned, did that Fan follow her to the bathroom? !
After she put away the booklet, she suddenly realized that the toilet in Wang Yuanwai's house was surprisingly luxurious!
The inside is very spacious, all paved with polished stone slabs, and the pit is half squatting and half sitting, unlike the big dung tanks in Lijia Village.

Incense was lit on the side, and there were shelves with wooden basins for clean water, soap locusts for washing hands, folded handkerchiefs, and a roll of rough straw paper.

So extravagant!

Mrs. Jiang said that Daxiangguo's paper is a rare commodity. Except for the rich, ordinary families can't afford it.

Since she traveled to the present, she has only used tree leaves to go to the toilet, and she will silently collect all kinds of suitable leaves every day.

As for Dabao and A Wuniang, they are even more rough. They basically use whatever they pick up, such as sticks and lumps of soil.

Sure enough, the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road!

Fang Yao thought bitterly, but at the same time she was very curious, what did Wang Yuanwai's family do for a living, to be so rich.

When she left, she silently took two pieces of paper and stuffed them into her pocket, walked aside and pretended to wash her hands.

Just treat yourself as if you really went to the toilet... After all, it is more real to act in a full set.

While thinking about the two pictures in the booklet, he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movement outside.

"Meow!"

A cat screamed suddenly, and the footsteps surnamed Fan seemed to be farther away. She wiped her hands and walked out.

As soon as he went out, he saw neither the cat nor Fan.

Fang Yao recalled seeing the cat passing by in the old lady's yard. It seemed to have that stench on it, but the smell was very light.

But now she can't wander around other people's houses at will, lest she doesn't find any clues in time, and instead be regarded as a thief who came into troubled waters to fish and steal things.

When returning to the old lady's house, Aunt Liu and the maids happened to clean up the old lady Wang.

"Hey, where is Mr. Mu?"

Aunt Liu's almond eyes turned around in the crowd, slightly disappointed.

Fang Yao thought about the two paintings in the brochure, and said casually: "He went to the toilet."

Aunt Liu blushed.

Doctor Cui said softly: "He should be back soon, Mrs. Liu, can I go in and see Mrs. Wang?"

"Of course..."

Aunt Liu glanced out the door again, and then led everyone into the old lady's bedroom again.

Probably to cover up the previous stench, more incense was added to the room, and wisps of green smoke came out from the incense burner, filling the whole room.

Fang Yao only felt that the fragrance was too strong, and her nose was not clear from the smell.

Li Fugui and the others were about to enter when they were stopped by Aunt Liu.

"The old lady's bedroom is not accessible to ordinary people, you should wait outside first." Aunt Liu shook the veil after she finished speaking, twisted her waist, and closed the door.

in the bedroom.

Fang Yao looked up at the bed, Mrs. Wang probably woke up after a lot of tossing, although her eyelids were still closed, but the eyeballs underneath were shaking violently.

Dr. Cui had the highest official position, and was surrounded by people and came to the old lady's bed, while Fang Yao and others stood a little further away.

Dr. Cui sat on the chair, first took the pulse of Mrs. Wang, and soon, he frowned slightly, and continued to check his eyes.

However, just as he opened the old lady's upper and lower eyelids with his palm, he suddenly found that the two eyeballs under the old lady's eyelids were staring straight at him, and the surrounding whites were bloodshot.

"what……"

Dr. Cui was caught off guard, frightened by Mrs. Wang's too menacing eyes, quickly withdrew his hand,
Except for Fang Yao, the others stood a little far away because they were afraid of blocking the light, so they didn't see what happened clearly. Aunt Liu wondered: "Doctor Cui, what happened?"

Dr. Cui pursed his lips: "I'll take another look."

Fang Yao's attention was finally attracted by Mrs. Wang's strange appearance just now.

Although she has never studied medicine, she somehow felt that the old lady's eyes were clear when she was a child when her eyelids were pulled away!
I thought Mrs. Wang had woken up, but as Dr. Cui let go of her fingers, the old lady's wrinkled eyelids slowly drooped again.

It's just that the eyeballs under the eyelids are shaking more and more.

strangeness.

Dr. Cui, who was sitting on the bedside, also frowned, asked the medicine boy to get tools, and then squeezed the old lady's jawbone, intending to check the tongue coating.

He had just pressed the polished bamboo piece on the old lady's tongue, at this moment, Fang Yao suddenly heard a grunt from the depths of old lady Wang's throat.

"what……"

Mrs. Wang's jaw snapped shut, and she bit the bamboo piece!
Everyone was taken aback.

Dr. Cui immediately pulled back the bamboo piece, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Wang, although she was old and had lost her front teeth, she was biting so hard that her ravine-ridden face seemed to be distorted.

It took a lot of effort for Dr. Cui to pull out the bamboo slices, which were even stained with traces of bloodshot saliva.

Aunt Liu clutched her thumping little heart, and took two steps back, "This, this... what's wrong with the old lady?"

Dr. Cui had never seen such a situation before, and he stood up solemnly.

Fang Yao was also full of doubts. Mrs. Wang was obviously not normal, but she didn't find anything weird while wearing a mask.

There is not even a figure of Mrs. Wang in the painting.

Now she just wanted to know who the other strange maid in the book was, and what was going on in the burning Liyang County.

"willow……"

But just as she opened her mouth, the fat monk beside her suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted: "The old lady must be bewitched!"

The elder Taoist also nodded in agreement.

Fang Yao raised her head suddenly. Could it be that these Taoist priests and monks are really masters? !

Aunt Liu's complexion changed even more, and she hurriedly asked: "Bewitched by an evil spirit? Then, what should I do?"

The fat monk and the old Taoist priest exchanged glances, the former pondered for a moment, and said: "Of course there is a way, but the old lady's situation is a bit serious, even if I work together with the master and apprentice of the Zhengqing sect, we may not be able to defeat that A monster..."

Fang Yao was silent, how could this rhetoric be so similar to how she fooled Li Fuguier and the others back then.

"Master, no matter what method you use, please save the old lady..." Aunt Liu had tears in her eyes, she was so sincere that she almost knelt on the ground and begged the masters to cheer her on.

The fat monk and the Taoist rubbed their bare foreheads in distress, wondering: "But the things needed for the practice cost a lot, these..."

Aunt Liu quickly said: "Master, how can you make several masters spend money? If the masters need anything, just make a list and give it to the housekeeper. He will naturally send someone to do it."

It was even more difficult for the fat monk, "These items all have requirements, and laymen may not understand them. If there is a slight mistake, the power of the ritual will be greatly reduced..."

Aunt Liu suddenly realized, she patted her cheek lightly, and spat: "Oh, Master is thinking, look at my brain, it is really... Master, just tell me how much you need, and I will inform the accountant Make arrangements."

The fat monk immediately smiled, chatted with Aunt Liu, and then said that he would go back early to discuss the schedule of the practice with other people.

Aunt Liu naturally hurriedly called the housekeeper and asked him to allocate rooms to the guests.

Along the way, the old Taoist priest and the fat monk were talking about various matters for tomorrow.

Fang Yao reckoned that the two groups had already hooked up, and they probably didn't want to get involved and get a share of the pie.

A Wu Niang was dying of anxiety, for fear that the 100 taels of silver would end up flying into other people's pockets.

As soon as she entered the guest room, before the door was closed, A Wu Niang hurriedly said: "Master, what happened to Mrs. Wang's illness? Why didn't they discuss it with you?"

Fang Yao squinted at her, "I said earlier that I don't know how to cure diseases."

A Wu Niang was so anxious that she wanted to say more, Fang Yao continued: "Besides, what can I do with a mere 100 taels of silver?"

A mere 100 taels...

Everyone was dumbfounded by Fang Yao's adjectives.

Everyone hasn't escaped from the poverty-stricken life, and they all look down on 100 taels of silver? ? ?
"come over."

Fang Yao glanced at the foggy sky outside, raised her legs, and whispered to Li Fuguier and the others who came over, "You guys go out later, just say this..."
