Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 61

In the early morning of this day, as soon as Gu Huai woke up, the servant at home rushed over to him and said, "Master, there is a guest at the house, and he wants to see you."

Gu Huai rubbed his eyes and asked, "Who? Wang Huacheng?"

The servant replied with some distress: "It's a young man dressed as a Taoist priest, very tall."

"Taoist dressing?" Gu Huai repeated in doubt, and began to search in his mind. He didn't seem to know any Taoist.

"Okay, I got it, you go down first." Gu Huai waved at the boy, then washed up briefly, and went out.

It had been five or six days since I saw Lan Yuyan last time, during which time that person really disappeared without a trace, which made Gu Huai wonder if the other party had lost interest in him.

When Gu Huai walked into the living room, he saw a familiar figure in Taoist robes talking happily with his servant Fu An, who even stuffed a small bag of things into Fu An's hand.

Gu Huai froze for a moment, that person was Yan Chixia.

When Yan Chixia saw Gu Huai, she stood up excitedly from her chair, walked to his side in three steps at a time, and gave him a big hug: "My dear brother, I haven't seen you for so long, are you okay? "

Reunited with Yan Chixia again, Gu Huai was naturally very happy, but he never liked to have too intimate contact with people, so he broke away from Yan Chixia's arms uncomfortably, and said somewhat cautiously: "Thanks to Yan Chixia Brother misses you."

Gu Huai looked at Fu An who was standing aside, and asked, "Fu An, what did you take from Big Brother Yan just now?"

Fu An shivered for a moment, and reluctantly took out a purse-like thing, opened it, and sure enough, there were a few gleaming silver ingots inside.

Gu Huai handed the purse back to Yan Chixia, and said with some displeasure: "Brother Yan, what do you mean? Our family has never deducted people's wages. You gave him so much money for no reason, and he also accepted it." Sorry."

Yan Chixia spread her hands in embarrassment, and said, "I see that kid Fu'an has been with my virtuous brother for so many years and has served you well. I want to encourage him."

Gu Huai murmured in his heart, this Yan Chixia really has a lot of troubles, don't she know how to reward her servants, does she need him, an outsider, to help "encourage" her personal servant?

This Yan Chixia hooking up with her personal servant always reminded him of the plot in "Water Margin" where Lu Junyi's housekeeper Li Gu committed adultery with his wife and in turn framed him.

Although he knew that he was too suspicious to think like this, but there was always a knot in his heart that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Huai's face turned cold, he cupped his hands at Yan Chixia, and said respectfully and distantly: "Brother Yan, you will never forget the kindness you gave to save me back then in the next life. It's just that you really don't need to overdo it." Interfering with my family affairs, I will take care of these matters myself."

Yan Chixia smiled guiltily, and put the purse back on her body.

He then changed the subject and said, "By the way, brother, do you still remember Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian?"

The expression on Gu Huai's face relaxed, he nodded, and said, "Remember, how are they doing now?"

Yan Chixia laughed in a good mood, and said: "Ning Caichen went to Niejia Village and buried Xiaoqian's body. After Xiaoqian's wish was fulfilled, her soul became a free body. Xiaoqian's soul followed Ning Caichen returned to his hometown, and the two got married. Not only did Ning's mother not dislike her daughter-in-law as a ghost, she was also very satisfied with Xiaoqian's beauty and gentleness."

Gu Huai listened, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face: "That's really great."

"They also gave birth to a pair of baby twins. When you come back, elder brother will take you to have a look."

"Then congratulations to them."

Yan Chixia looked at Gu Huai, her eyes filled with love for the younger generation, and said, "Oh, brother, after all, you have reached the age to talk about marriage, which girl do you like?" Is it?"

Gu Huai's heart trembled, and Lan Yuyan's domineering face involuntarily appeared in front of his eyes, his ears turned red, and he shook his head hastily.

Gu Huai's series of reactions were all seen by Yan Chixia, he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and said jokingly: "Now I'm really curious, which girl is it that fascinated you?" It’s like this, look at you, your face turns red when you think of it.”

Gu Huai looked away, and said sullenly: "I said no, no, brother Yan, stop asking these questions. Hey, but why did you come to visit me today?"

"Recently, I've been doing some ghost hunting business. I just drive out evil spirits for people, and earn some spare money to eat. No, my boss asked me to catch a naughty ghost. It's strange to say that that ghost neither eats people nor robs people." Just do some mischievous things. For example, steal some eggs from other people’s houses today, and scare their ducks away tomorrow.”

Gu Huai laughed out loud: "How can there be such a ghost?"

"Who knows what that guy thinks. It stands to reason that being a lonely ghost is also uncomfortable. If it wasn't for unrevenge and becoming a resentful spirit, who would want to wander outside instead of reincarnating?"

Gu Huai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Tell me, does that ghost have any unfulfilled long-cherished wishes in this world?"

Yan Chixia rubbed her chin and nodded: "That's a possibility. The owner said that the ghost seemed to have something to say, but people were scared out of their wits by him, and no one wanted to listen to him."

Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded outside the door, interrupting their conversation.Gu Huai rushed out without thinking, followed by Yan Chixia.

The two of them rushed out of the house in a hurry, and saw a few servant girls screaming and rolling all over the floor with snot and tears.

Gu Xianrong also hurried out from other rooms, seeing the scene of chickens and dogs jumping around in the courtyard, he yelled loudly: "What are you doing? How decent are you?"

The two servants pointed in one direction tremblingly, opened their mouths, but couldn't speak.

Gu Huai followed their fingers to look over, and the scene he entered scared him so much that he almost cried out.

I saw a pole scattered on the ground, and the fruits and vegetables in the bamboo basket rolled all over the ground, and on the bamboo pole of the pole was a human head.

The head had a ferocious and painful expression, one of its eyeballs fell out, and black and red blood flowed from its nostrils.

When Gu Xianrong saw the head, he clutched his heart and groaned and fell back.

Since Gu Huai also saw some bloody scenes a few days ago, he quickly calmed down.He approached the human head, trying to pick it up.As a result, just when his hand was about to touch the hair of the human head, the bamboo pole holding the human head stood up suddenly, and ran away with a hop, with the head dangling from the top.
