Just like Xiaoyue's ghost stories, the Li Mansion has hidden rules. Compared with the rules given by the Li Mansion on the surface, the hidden rules are more specific and detailed.
After all, it was given to the female ghost after her favorability reached fifty.
Xi Yu put away the rice paper note and finally felt better.
Cursed dolls themselves are not supposed to have emotions. Even if they do, these things that symbolize darkness and filth cannot simply have a good impression of people.
This is the territory of the underworld female ghost. From the maid to the original owner of the Li family, everyone is in awe of the female ghost. Unless other guests also have special items like Xi Yu, it is impossible for the female ghost not to know about it. The doll exists.
At first, Xi Yu did think that the doll belonged to someone else, most likely Xu Cheng, who seemed prepared and full of malice towards others.
But Li Shun's attitude towards the doll is very strange. He is a little jealous and afraid, but he always shows a bit of indifference.
If, as Li Shun said, Sun Xuanyi put the cursed doll in Xi Yu's room, why did he ignore this supposedly important matter and insist on hoping that Xi Yu and he could escape from the backyard through a loophole?
Think about it another way, maybe Li Shun knows the origin of the doll and doesn't think the doll can hurt him, or even that the doll is his property?
Think bolder.
Since the doll is something in Li's house, it can be said to be something belonging to the female ghost. Whether it is something she hates or loves, it can be sacrificed to her to gain a certain amount of forgiveness.
Thinking of the doll's abnormal favorability towards herself, Xi Yu speculated that there should be some connection between the doll and the female ghost.
The increase in favorability the next day also truly illustrates this point. To a certain extent, the doll represents the likes and dislikes of the female ghost.
Xiaoyue, who has a favorability level of 50, has a little trust in her. The female ghost should not be much worse, right?
Can it at least give her some extra protection for her survival?
Tomorrow midnight is the time for the underworld wedding. Who knows what will happen then, and there is not much Xi Yu can do to prepare.
Regardless of whether Merlin and the wishing well were safe or not, she had to go there.
There were fewer people, but the portion of breakfast was not less. Xi Yu and Zhou Xiang were eating breakfast in silence when they saw a familiar figure staggering towards them, holding on to the door frame.
Xu Cheng is still alive!
Zhou Xiang stared at Xu Cheng who walked into the restaurant in surprise and confusion. He opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head.
"You almost killed me, are you very proud of it?"
Xu Cheng limped to Xi Yu's seat, glanced at her sinisterly, but unexpectedly said nothing, and viciously started eating breakfast with his hands covered in long and short bloodstains.
"Don't have too many dark emotions in ghost stories."
Thinking about his friendship with Jiang Yingnian, Xi Yu gave a final reminder: "The more negative emotions you have, the more closely you will merge with ghost stories."
Without waiting for Xu Cheng's response, Xi Yu waved to Zhou Xiang and the others, turned around and came to the pool again.
With black hair tied around her wrist and followed by Li Shun and two maids, Xi Yu squatted by the pool generously: "Hey, I'm here to save you."
"You should have felt it. I found the eldest young master of the Li family and he was taken away by a female ghost."
"As long as you find the second young master of the Li family and find the three lingering things, the wife and the master of the Li family, I can take you away."
Xiaoshuang, a female ghost in the pool, slowly emerged from the water. After seeing the two personal maids, she said in a strange tone: "Then why are you here to see me now?"
Xi Yu snapped her fingers and asked with a smile: "Is the body of the head of the family really in the Merlin? Tell me how much you know about Merlin and the Wishing Well."
"Also, I've been to the kitchen more than once, but I haven't found the Mrs. Li you mentioned. Xiaoshuang, if you want to leave, you can't lie to me."
It was just a casual talk at that time, who knew you would actually be alive today.
Xiaoshuang looked at Xi Yu blankly for a while, and recalled with difficulty: "Madam, she shouldn't be in the kitchen. Madam, it seems that Madam is always with the head of the family."
That's it, Xi Yu thought.
The woman who returned to the restaurant as if nothing had happened after entering Merlin suddenly became elegant, probably because she was the wife of the Li family in the skin of a guest.
"When that woman was still alive, she loved to go to the plum grove in the mansion. She didn't actually know plum blossoms, but she always played the bamboo flute she cut herself in the pavilion of the plum grove."
Xiaoshuang's feelings towards women are very complicated. She pities women who are treated like livestock in the Li Mansion and are just waiting to be slaughtered. She was born and raised in the Li Mansion and can't help but yearn for the unusual romance and liveliness of women.
"She has a rag doll that she made by herself. It's not pretty. Even the cotton stuffed inside is old cotton that others don't want. But she likes it very much."
"Unfortunately, I was the one who gave her doll to the second young master in the end, and I was also the one who drugged her dinner."
Memories related to women gradually became vivid. Xiaoshuang's scary face showed a complex look of nostalgia and guilt. Her tone became softer: "If you want to enter Merlin, it's best to go alone. If you meet If you find someone wearing mourning clothes, throw the hair that I have tied on your hand at him."
"You, like her, want to save me and take me out. You are a good person and should not die here."
The plum blossoms looked like blood, splattering all over the ground.
The head of the Li family obviously didn't welcome Xi Yu very much, as shown by the fact that Xi Yu never heard any call while heading to Merlin.
In other words, his IQ has not dropped to the point where he really thinks Xi Yu is Qin Shihuang.
The maid and Li Shun were left outside the Meilin by Xi Yu. She only carried the butcher's knife, and the only trump card she had was the female ghost's trust.
Merlin was much older than Xi Yu thought. If the head of the Li family didn't say anything, it would be difficult for Xi Yu to find him before dark.
Well, she actually doesn't like to make too much noise.
Xi Yu said sorry to the female ghost in his heart, raised his hand and struck the plum blossom tree with a knife.
One knife, two knifes...
Xi Yu's movements were extremely crisp and neat, with the force and angle controlled just right. Even if the long knife was not that sharp, her efficiency in chopping down trees was comparable to that of a professional lumberjack.
The plum blossoms scattered, and the blood-red petals that had fallen all over the ground covered the original ground.
Finally, the tip of Xi Yu's knife was blocked by something.
"Ah, I found you."
She pushed aside the plum blossoms on the ground and smiled at the face with ferocious features on the ground: "Don't worry, I'm here to help you."
