Chapter 21

It was noon.Here, Shu Er just retrieved the plate from Ye Jieman's room and was about to take it down to make it clear, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the gate of the courtyard, and then saw An'er stepping into the courtyard door sweating, walking in without stopping Come.Shu'er became suspicious, and watched An'er hurriedly approaching with her head lowered from a distance, and called out to call An'er.

"An'er, where have you been?"

Hearing the sound, An'er seemed to be startled, her footsteps stopped abruptly, she raised her head to look around, and when she saw that it was Shu'er, her expression was obviously a little nervous: "Sister Shu...why are you here?"

"Where can I be if I'm not here?" Shu'er sized up An'er with an inquiring look, "What have you been up to these days? Since yesterday, you've been running out of Pei's mansion in secret."

An'er was not good at hiding it, so she could only laugh a few times, and tried to change the subject stiffly: "I just went out to deal with some private matters. That's all... By the way, has Sister Shu had lunch?"

After the words fell, the guilty An'er subconsciously put her hands behind her back, covering the other party's sight.

Shu'er took all of this into her eyes, and after a moment of silence, Fang slowly said, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"No... nothing."

Before An'er finished speaking, Shu'er in front of her had already reached out.An'er quickly backed away, but her wrist was already grasped by the other party.Her face was slightly red, and finally the hand behind her was pulled out, revealing a dark brown object in her hand.

"What is this?" Shu'er glanced at the thing in An'er's hand, and touched it suspiciously, only to feel that it was a piece of wood no matter how it looked.

"Ahem...it's wood." An'er's eyes flickered.

"What is it for?"

"Use... to ward off evil spirits." An'er squeezed out words between her lips and teeth, and suddenly hugged Shu'er's arm coquettishly, shaking, "Sister Shu, don't be so curious, it's just a piece of wood anyway, it's nothing Strange stuff."

Shu'er glanced over, and said calmly, "Wood is not strange? What are you doing with this thing when you have nothing to do?"

"Actually, I don't know what to use it for?" An'er whispered to herself.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"It's nothing, in fact, I'm interested in woodcarving, and I just want to practice it." An'er lied casually.She also didn't want to hide it from Sister Shu, but the Young Madam specifically asked her to, so she couldn't reveal it.An'er was afraid that Sister Shu would ask more questions, so she hurriedly said, "Sister Shu is busy first, I have something else to do, I will come to you later."

After the words fell, he ran away in a hurry.

Shu'er frowned slightly, looking at An'er's disappearing back, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

"Young lady."

An'er pushed open the door and caught a glimpse of Ye Jieman sitting by the bed.She quickly closed the door, then quickly walked to the side of the bed, opened her hand to reveal the dark brown wood in her palm, smiled a little smugly, "Young Madam, what is this?"

Seeing the things in An'er's hands, Ye Jieman quickly realized: "Huaimu? Did you find it so soon?"

An'er nodded: "Yeah. But the other party is not sure if it is more than ten years old, I only know that it is an old pagoda tree."

Hearing this, Ye Jieman subconsciously glanced at Ji Xiwu at the table, saw her gaze fell on the locust tree, then raised her eyes and nodded to herself: "It should be right."

After An'er left, Ye Jieman touched the piece of locust wood left by the other party, only to feel that his hand was rough.She looked up at Ji Xiwu: "I already have the locust tree, what then?"

"You go to Suzhou City to find a craftsman to carve this locust tree." As he spoke, Ji Xiwu looked for a pen and paper, lowered his head and wrote something, then slowly walked to the window with the paper, and handed it to Ye Jieman , "Carve this rune pattern on the front, and write my birth date on the back."

Ye Jieman reached out to take the paper in Ji Xiwu's hand suspiciously, and looked down.I saw a strange rune drawn on the white paper, and a birthday horoscope was written underneath.Ye Jieman was slightly startled, then looked up at Ji Xiwu, and asked the doubts in her heart: "You haven't told me, what is this pagoda tree used for?"

Ji Xiwu looked at Ye Jieman calmly, and after a while, he opened his lips and said slowly: "Do you know why there is a ghost word on one side of Huaimu?"

Hearing what the other party said, Ye Jieman was startled. After thinking about it, a bold idea came up in her heart, and she hesitated: "I know that pagoda tree is yin, and it is rumored that it is easy to get some dirty things... don't you Maybe you want to..."

"That's right." Ji Xiwu hooked the corners of her lips, "When a person dies and becomes a ghost, the yang qi is broken and scattered, and it is formed by a few wisps of yin qi. I told you before that I can't travel during the day, otherwise I will be exposed to the sun." I'm afraid your life is in danger. If you want to go back to Ji's mansion with you, you will inevitably be exposed to sunlight, so naturally you need to protect your things. This pagoda tree is the best choice at present." After a pause, Ji Xiwu explained, "At that time I will attach myself to this locust tree to keep my yin energy from dissipating. This thing is as small as an ordinary ornament, and it is not easy to attract the attention of others."

"So that's how it is..." Ye Jieman murmured, looking down at the locust tree in his hand, as if remembering something, couldn't help shivering, "Listen to you, could it be that this locust tree is the shelter of ghosts? ?”

"It's true to say that." Ji Xiwu glanced at Ye Jieman, and said quietly, "This pagoda tree is the best place for lonely ghosts to haunt. You are a **** mortal may not be able to see it, you know Just on a locust tree alone, there are dozens to hundreds of wandering souls. Especially the ancient locust tree, the abundance of yin energy is not comparable to that of ordinary trees."

Ye Jieman was startled by hearing it, and secretly thought that he would never get close to any locust tree in the future.Maybe in a place where she couldn't see, a group of lonely ghosts were pointing fingers at her.

It is not difficult for Ji Xiwu to guess what Ye Jieman was thinking, and continued: "After this thing is made, it will be a ghost talisman of pagoda wood, which is much more powerful than ordinary pagoda wood. And the horoscope of my birthday engraved on the back is also for Avoid other ghosts taking the opportunity to possess, so you don't have to worry about attracting other messy ghosts. After all, I don't want to cheap other ghosts."

"I see. I will find someone to engrave it on it." Ye Jieman said and put away the white paper and the locust tree together, but she was a little uneasy in her heart, always feeling uneasy, and suddenly asked: "But how do you know?" So much? You just died not long ago, right?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiwu laughed.That smile fell in Ye Jieman's sight, it was indescribably weird.

"I've been outside for the past few nights, but it's precisely to inquire about these important matters," Ji Xiwu said in a slightly erratic voice, "a big mansion like Pei's Mansion will inevitably bear blood, and there are some lonely ghosts lingering there. For example, someone died by the well next to Huanxi’s washing room in Xiyuan, and the dead woman would sit by the well in a daze at night, and occasionally sing some tunes; the tree with the crooked neck by the Dongyuan pool also hanged to death. A maid, always wandering around at night, chanting some love poems; and..."

"Enough!" Ye Jieman abruptly interrupted Ji Xiwu's words with trembling words, her eyes widened in disbelief, "So you went out these few nights just to find... to find other ghosts?"

"Naturally. One of the older ghosts told me about this locust wood ghost talisman." Ji Xiwu shrugged meaninglessly, "You know, news is the fastest to come, no matter if it's the population or the ghost's mouth. place."

Ye Jieman swallowed, a little afraid to look directly at Ji Xiwu.The other party has only been a ghost for two days, but he has adapted so quickly, and his methods are swift and resolute, which is simply terrifying.It seemed that death had no effect on her at all, except for the hatred it brought to her enemies.

During the silence, Ji Xiwu's thoughtful eyes fell on Ye Jieman.When the latter came across such a line of sight, he was a little terrified immediately, and always felt that he was being calculated.I saw Ji Xiwu sat down on the side of the bed, and then smiled at Ye Jieman: "How is your body?"

"...It's better. What's the matter?" Ye Jieman looked suspiciously at Ji Xiwu who was smiling abnormally, feeling more and more uneasy.

"I want you to do me another favor."

Hearing this, Ye Jieman frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I want you..." Ji Xiwu's eyes approached, and he said word by word, "Go find Ji Chuan again for me."

"Why?" Ye Jieman was a little reluctant.Now she is not sensitive to people from such rich families, and she has as little contact as she can.What's more, Ji Chuan has a special status, and he doesn't want to provoke him.

It's just that Ji Xiwu will not let Ye Jieman refuse easily.She glanced at Ye Jieman, a moment of deep thought slipped through her eyes, and she suddenly said: "Are you wondering about the relationship between me and Ji Chuan? We are obviously brother and sister, but last time I used your body to talk to him, but there was no brother-sister relationship at all." Intimacy?" Seeing that Ye Jieman was silent and did not speak, he continued, "To tell you the truth, the Ji family is different from the Pei family. The internal strife is very chaotic, and the relationship is far more complicated. The head of the Ji family, that is, My father had five wives, and three of them died. As for how he died, it's hard to say. Anyway, besides the eldest lady, the third wife is still alive. Both of them have some influence in the Ji mansion. There are two factions. Although Ji Chuan is the eldest son, he was born to the third wife. He has narrow vision and mediocre abilities. He is not particularly loved by my father. Chuan is one year old, but he is born of the eldest wife of the direct line, and has a clever temper, which belongs to another faction. But his mind is not on business, and my father knows this, and it is a headache. It is natural that Ji Chuan and Ji Xi'an have a good relationship Not good. But I..." Ji Xiwu paused, and the corners of her lips curled up a little mockingly, "I was born as a woman, so naturally I have no chance to be the head of the family. But my talent also made my father very dependent, and I took many things Idea. Ji Chuan tried to win me over several times, trying to get me to say something nice in my father's ear, but of course he was severely humiliated by me. To be honest, I look down on him very much. If it weren't for his weak and sick brother Ji Yue helped him resolve some difficulties behind his back, and with his overjoyed temperament, he might have gotten into trouble a long time ago. In comparison, he is not as reliable as Ji Xi'an. So speaking of it, I can barely be considered to be on Ji Xi'an's side, and Ji Chuan naturally has a bad relationship."

"Then... what about the others?" Ye Jieman looked at the cold look on Ji Xiwu's face and asked hesitantly.

"The third miss of the Ji family, Ji Xiaoran, was born to the late second wife. Although she has a gentle and virtuous name, she has a very aggressive temper. Three years ago, she was unwilling to marry the Xu family according to her father's wishes, and played a big escape. When her family found her, she found out that she was married to a poor scholar, and she had already paid her respects and entered the bridal chamber. Father was furious, and later severed ties with her." Speaking of Ji Xiaoran, Ye Jieman noticed that Ji Xiwu's eyes were slightly With a mild smile, it is completely different from when he talked about the two brothers before, and it can be seen that he has no objection to the third sister's actions.Just before she could speak, Ji Xiwu glanced over, looked at herself and said meaningfully, "Although I don't know what Sanjie is doing now, but with her temperament, she will definitely hold her own destiny firmly in the palm of her hand, so I'm not worried about it." .Sometimes fate needs to be fought, not just a choice of letting nature take its course.”

Of course Ye Jieman heard that Ji Xiwu was referring to herself, she pursed her lips and refused to answer, nor did she want to explain her concerns to the other party.After a moment of silence, Fang said again: "Why are you willing to tell me these things today?"

"Since you're going to Ji's house, it's always good to know something about the situation." Ji Xiwu said lightly, "The people of Ji's family are not easy to deal with. Even a useless Ji Chuan may be enough to kill you gone."

"I just brought you to Ji's house, not to fight them."

"Just in case. After all, the clues are on them. Time is running out, and the enemy cannot be allowed to escape for too long." Speaking of the enemy, Ji Xiwu's expression sank again, and his red eyes shone coldly.

Ye Jieman looked a little startled, and suddenly saw Ji Xiwu leaning over, looking straight into her own eyes.She was about to step back subconsciously, but the opponent had already grabbed her wrist: "So, follow me to find Ji Chuan tonight to find out."
