Cultivation is too difficult, and people will die if they do the tasks.

Chapter 165 Investigation in the Study Room
The father-in-law's surname is Li, and his family has lived here for generations. He has rich wealth, including an inn and a restaurant.He is a large householder in this town.

It's just that the family is sparsely populated, with only three generations passing down the family.

Now there is only one grandson named Li Zhonghua, who is eighteen years old, smart and polite, and studies hard.He has been admitted as a scholar.

It's a treasure for the whole family.

A backyard was built specifically for him to study in his home.

In another year, Li Zhonghua will go to Fu Dao to take the imperial examination.The whole family was so hopeful that even getting married was postponed.

But in the past month or so, family members have discovered that Li Zhonghua is pale and weak.

I thought it was because I was too tired from studying.He immediately consulted a doctor and treated him with supplements.He also told him to take rest and not to overwork himself.

Who would have thought that even though ginseng and deer antlers were as replenishing as drinking water, my body was still getting weaker day by day.

The family also wanted Li Zhonghua to study at home and not stay alone in the backyard study.

Li Zhonghua refused and drove his family away. From then on, he stayed in the backyard and never left the study.

One day, the book boy found Li Zhonghua fainted on the ground.

The parents quickly asked the doctor to take a look.It is said that he is depleted of essence and blood, and his life will not be saved in the long run.The mother in the family almost cried to death.

Later, some knowledgeable people said that there must be something sneaky around Li Zhonghua, and someone needed to exorcise the evil spirits.

I asked the Taoist priest from the Taoist temple in the town to do it, but it was useless.

It happened that Bai Wan'er was staying at her own inn today, so she quickly came to ask Bai Wan'er for help.

Bai Wan'er said helplessly: "Since I support you with all my strength, Xiaodao will go and see if it can be lowered. Xiaodao will do his best."

The old man bowed and saluted: "If the fairy comes forward, he will definitely get rid of all the evil spirits. Thank you very much, old man."

Bai Wan'er followed Shopkeeper Li to his house. It turned out to be a wealthy family. The house had three entrances and a garden. The backyard of Master Li's study was built next to the garden.

As soon as Bai Wan'er walked in, an old lady came over with a middle-aged beautiful woman.

She is Master Li's grandmother and the child's mother.

When the woman saw him, she became even more excited and started crying again.

After finally being persuaded, Bai Wan'er suggested to go see Li Zhonghua first.

The beautiful middle-aged woman brought Bai Wan'er to the inner courtyard. As soon as she entered the room, a wave of heat hit her face.

It's midsummer now, the weather is very hot, but there are still two big fire pits burning in the room.

Bai Wan'er asked: "Mrs. Li, why is this?"

Mrs. Li wiped her tears: "My son is depleted of energy and blood and is very afraid of the cold. He can only survive by putting a brazier in the room."

Bai Wan'er saw a person covered with a tight quilt on the bed.

As soon as I touched it, my skin felt slightly cool, the blood on my face was gone, and my lips turned white.If he wasn't still breathing, no one would believe him if he was dead.

Bai Wan'er scanned it with her consciousness and found that her body was indeed very weak, but there was not a single wound on her body.

A young man in his prime is as vital as an old man in his twilight years.

"Take me to the study."

A servant took Bai Wan'er to the study in the backyard.

The study room is very elegant and lined with bookshelves, making it look like a place for reading.

There is also a guest room outside, and a rest room inside, with beds and shelves fully equipped.Through the window is the garden, with the fragrance of flowers curling up.

The environment for studying is really nice.If there is another beautiful maid, the red sleeves will be even more fragrant!

"Fairy, this is Ximo, the scholar who is serving the young master. If you have anything to ask him."

The housekeeper brought a ten-year-old boy.

Bai Wan'er asked: "You are the one serving here, no one else."

"Yes, the young master likes to study quietly and doesn't want to be disturbed too much."

Bai Wan'er nodded. It seemed that Mr. Li was really a diligent student. "Your young master is in poor health and doesn't want to eat or drink. When did it start?"

"It's been more than two months. At first, I just said I was tired and didn't want to eat. Even taking tonics didn't help. Then I couldn't get sick anymore."

"No one else came in tonight?"

"No, the door to the outer courtyard is locked, and the younger one sleeps outside the study. It's important for the young master to study, and the wife comes every night to deliver supper. No one is allowed to disturb the young master."

"You have been serving the young master, do you also sleep in the study at night?"

The book boy was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Of course, we are here to serve the young master, there is no one else."

Bai Wan'er read the book and never dared to raise her head and speak. , rolled his eyes, bent close, and suddenly shouted in the book boy's ear.

"Bold, you dare to hide it."

The book boy's face turned pale: "Young man, I'm not hiding anything."

Bai Wan'er smiled coldly: "Have you ever heard a woman's voice in the study?"

The book boy trembled and fell to his knees.

"Fairy, spare my life. I didn't mean to hide it. I'm really not sure, and the young master won't let me tell you."

Bai Wan'er's mouth curved.Sure enough, this is the way to play again.

The young man meets his sweetheart in the study late at night, but he doesn't know whether the sweetheart is a human or a ghost.In my previous life, I didn't watch "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" for free.

Bai Wan'er scolded: "Honestly, what is going on, or I will inform the master and break your legs."

The book boy immediately fell to his knees and confessed tremblingly.

"After the young master became weak, the wife asked him to take good care of him and urge him to rest early. The young man stayed outside and heard the woman's voice faintly a few times. But when he came in, there was no one there, and he was beaten. The young master scolded me many times. Later, the young master stopped letting the little ones stay outside and sent them all to guard the courtyard gate."

The book boy cried: "After something happened to the young master, I was so scared that I didn't dare to say anything."

She is depleted of essence and blood, and she is a woman. Is this the only way the ghosts in this world can play?

Bai Wan'er couldn't help but curl her lips.

I checked inside and out, but found nothing.When I looked up, I saw a birdcage hanging in the corner of the study, and a myna standing on a long pole.

"When was this bird in this house?"

"The yard has been built, and my wife put it there. She said she was afraid that the young master would get bored studying, and it would be more comfortable to listen to a few birdsong."

"Has this bird always been here?"

"It's always been there. Young Master likes it very much. He usually feeds and changes water by himself."

"You go down."

Bai Wan'er waved away the book boy and came to the birdcage.

"You are here every day, so you must be able to see clearly."

Bai Wan'er took the Qiankun Marsupial Pill and picked up the bird food on the table.

"Good boy, you haven't fed me these past few days, come on." Bai Wan'er put the bird food in her palm.

The myna climbed over along the pole.

Bai Wan'er asked softly: "Eat slowly, I want to ask you something. During this period, will there be any girls coming to see the young master at night?"

"Yes" a rough voice sounded.

Bai Wan'er glanced at Ba Ge.

It is petite and exquisite, and its scream is clear and sweet.Unexpectedly, it turned into a human voice and turned into the rough voice of a Northeastern man.

It's really hard to tell what a bird looks like.

"Then tell me what kind of girl you are, how you came here, and what you did when you came here?"
