Da Suining

Chapter 5 Dragon Subduing Wood

How could Mingzhu find those things that didn't exist?
It was just to scare Tang Xiaoniang's mother and daughter.

People who have done bad things are easy to show their feet without being frightened.

Mrs. Xiang listened to Madam Su talking about Tang Xiaoniang and Xiangyan's distressed appearance, her laughter seemed to drive away a dozen ducks, and she said, "Their mother and daughter also have today, treat me well, they have to give it to me." Ancestors offer two sticks of incense."

Xiang Suining fed her rice porridge, and she drank half a bowl more.

These years, Tang Xiaoniang has been calling the wind and rain in the mansion, but why has she ever put Mrs. Xiang in her eyes.

It was other Bohou's mansion who invited guests to the banquet, Tang Xiaoniang also acted like a hostess, and left in a carriage "da da da".She donated sesame oil to the Huguo Temple in the west of the city on the fifteenth of every month, and lit incense and kowtowed at the Xiangshi Ancestral Hall on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Someone is working hard, grandma can rest." Xiang Suining comforted.

"I don't know her yet." Mrs. Xiang Lao snorted, "It's because she came from a humble background and hasn't experienced a big battle, so whenever she has a chance to show her face, she never misses it, just to show off and let everyone know." We all know that she is the head of the Xiangfu. She is the head of the house, and I don't care about her, but she shouldn't tolerate people everywhere. "

In those years, every time Tang Xiaoniang troubled Xiang Suining by beating or punishing her, the news reached Mrs. Xiang, but Mrs. Xiang thought she didn't have wings and couldn't fly over to protect her immediately, so she reprimanded Tang Xiaoniang afterwards. But with the protection of Prime Minister Daying, Tang Xiaoniang is always safe and sound.

"Grandmother, don't be angry."

"Don't get angry, don't get angry." Mrs. Xiang caressed Xiang Suining's hair: "Grandmother is happy, the revenge has been avenged, and she should drink to celebrate. Suining, bring a glass of rice wine to grandma."

"Grandmother is still sick."

"I just want a glass of rice wine."

"Grandma is disobedient again."

"Okay, okay, grandma listened to Suining, Amitabha, I am the elder in this mansion, and I should be merciful. Tang Xiaoniang suffered a disaster, and I can't secretly make fun of her. If I want to laugh, I just let go of it, hahaha .”

Mrs. Xiang's smiling eyes wrinkled.

Xiang Suining fed Mrs. Xiang some medicine, ate two pieces of snacks, and combed Mrs. Xiang's hair. When she returned to her side, Mrs. Xiang told Madam Su who was serving beside her: "Didn't you get some hair the year before last?" Jianglong wood? You go and get two and hang them on the door of the second girl, which can avoid ghosts and evil spirits, and prevent others from always making trouble for her."

Su Nanny picked the two thickest ones and sent them to Xiang Suining's room.

These two dragon subduing trees are as thick as Xiang Suining's arms.

Xiang Suining loosened his hair, took off the pearl flower and put it in the jewelry box, washed his face with the warm water brought by Mingzhu, washed his hands, wiped it with a white handkerchief, and felt warm all over his body.

"It's dark and early today, and the second girl has been running all day, so go to bed early." Mingzhu twisted her handkerchief and said.

"Can't sleep."

"Second girl, don't be afraid. Didn't the old lady give the second girl the dragon tree? Demons and ghosts can't get close to the girl, and the girl can sleep peacefully."

"I'm not afraid of ghosts and ghosts."

"The second girl is not afraid of ghosts and ghosts?" Mingzhu wrung out the handkerchief and put it on the rack, then spread out the quilt for Xiang Suining, swept it twice, and smiled with her head down: "Young lady often has nightmares, and that year, that year While listening to an opera in the Nian Mansion, the second girl saw the painted-faced actors on the stage, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to sleep at night, and the next day she was so hot that she couldn't get out of bed."

Pearl did not continue.

That was four or five years ago.

I still remember that I had a high fever that day and couldn't get up. Tang Xiaoniang said that she was an old hen, and she would make a nest at every turn.

Mingzhu lowered the tent, and the candles were dimly lit.

Xiang Suining closed his eyes, as if he could still see the stage.

It was my grandmother's birthday, and the house invited the best theater troupe from Xuanguo. The repertoires included "The Drunken Concubine", "Worshiping the Moon Pavilion", "A Chinese Girl's Leaving Soul" and "The Orphan of Zhao Family", the first two pieces are really good Yes, it was a bit bluffing when "A Chinese Girl Lies Soul" came out. As soon as "The Orphan of the Zhao Family" came out, Xiang Suining quickly shrank into Mrs. Xiang's arms. Silver let them go.

The flags are swaying, and the python clothes overlap.

The dream was colorful, until a gust of cold wind extinguished the candle.

Xiang Suining opened his eyes, the room was dark and the windows were wide open.The wind poured in through the window and hit the tent.

"Mingzhu—" Mingzhu usually fell asleep not far away.

"Pearl—"

When no one responded, Mingzhu fell into a deep sleep.

Xiang Suining lit the candle and went to close the window with the candlestick. As soon as he got to the window, a man in red stood up suddenly. He was slightly taller than Xiang Suining. hanging over the shoulders.

Xiang Suining thought he was dreaming.I thought it was my grandmother's birthday that year, and it was still under that stage.

Until the man in red stretched out a pair of white hands with two-inch-long nails.

"Pearl—" Xiang Suining called out unconsciously, as if to embolden himself.From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happened, Mingzhu was always with her. Mingzhu grew up in a poor family and her parents died early. Back then, she had no money to buy a coffin. With shorter hands, he watched her come to Xiangfu with tears in his eyes.

Seeing that Mingzhu was filial, the old lady thought it would be useful, so she transferred it to Xiang Suining's room.

Mingzhu finally heard Xiang Suining's call, put on her clothes and stood up holding a cup of tea: "Is Second Miss thirsty? Why are you standing by the window facing the wind, it's so cold."

The man in red looked like a log, twisting his neck and looking in the direction of the pearl.

Mingzhu was so startled that she didn't say a word, her mouth softened before she closed it.

The man in red twisted his neck again and looked in Xiang Suining's direction.

"You—" Xiang Suining was actually afraid: "Who are you?"

The man in red didn't speak.

"You—your fingernails are dirty—"

"Huh?" The man in red lowered his head, looked at his fingernails, and then raised his head again: "Don't be clever, you can't run away."

He can see.

Not blind.

In this way, at midnight, in this remote Xikuo courtyard, as long as he jumped into the room, he would kill Xiang Suining without much effort.

There is nowhere to hide.

He sees everything.

"What do you want to do?" Xiang Suining's shoulders trembled. On such a winter night, is she going to die?If you haven't lived enough, you will die if you don't want to.

The man in red said: "You look good." He stretched out his two-inch long nails to pinch his own neck. After pinching for a while, his face without facial features was "cuckling" with blood. The blood was very bloody, dark red. Like strips of earthworms, they protruded from his hair and climbed onto his clothes.

I've seen someone who kills someone, but I haven't seen someone who kills me. I've never heard of it before.

Xiang Suining was dumbfounded: "You—"

The man in red pinched her small face: "Those who dare to make trouble will end up like this. Now it's your turn to strangle you to death."

Xiang Suining was startled, took a candle and pressed it on the hand of the man in red.

The man in red wiped his hands, revealing a mole as big as a coin.

"I know you." Xiang Suining was taken aback.
