The poetic words immediately made my heart sink: It’s over! With just this sentence, Shi Qing can shatter the alliance we just established.
Jianghu people are inherently the most suspicious beings. Any disturbance can arouse their vigilance, let alone at such a life-or-death moment? Moreover, the first person they suspected was not Ye Sanqi, but their companion who had been with them for several years.
Some people may ask: Can people who have been together for several years become suspicious of each other and even use knives and guns just because of a word from a ghost? Aren't those a bunch of fools?
In fact, not only are they not stupid, on the contrary, they are extremely smart. However, what is ridiculous and sad is that they will definitely believe in ghosts and not their companions.
If you don't believe it, think about it. Have you ever experienced a situation where a few words from a stranger can make two people who are close to each other suspicious of each other, or even break up completely?
As for who is better, ghosts lying or living people telling tales? Then no one can tell clearly.
After the poetry retreated from me, the light returned to the yard again. Among the eight people standing there, except for Ye Sanqi, who looked normal, the others' expressions were extremely ugly.
I guess poetry speaks different things to everyone. Moreover, every word can make the other person feel scared from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, just saying "There is a dead person among you" will not make everyone's face look so ugly.
Originally, I was also panicking, but I calmed down when I saw Ye Sanqi.
In my impression, Ye Sanqi is unshakable and as stable as Mount Tai no matter what time he comes. It was Ye Sanqi's indifference that made me feel at ease.
After a while, a suona sound came from outside the yard.
I have never heard such a strange suona. The tune sounds extremely cheerful, but there is an unconcealable gloominess in the sound of the suona. It sounded like a group of evil spirits were playing the suona happily and walking happily into the yard.
The seven people in the yard tensed up at the same time, and my hand touched the double-pointed knife at my waist.
That knife was also a hidden weapon given to me by the Ninth Prince. On the left and right sides of the knife's handle were scimitars as long as a dagger. This design can be used for close combat or as a hidden weapon for long-distance sneak attacks. It's just that these sharp knives are not easy to master, and I might hurt myself if I don't do it properly, so I never took them out.
This time, the opponent we encountered was not a living person. The first weapon I thought of was a double-pointed knife engraved with runes.
As soon as I held the knife in my hand, the courtyard door quietly opened, and a bride-to-be team with bloodless faces and paper clothes stood outside the door carrying a sedan chair with stiff bodies and expressionless faces.
As soon as the sound of the suona stopped, the master of ceremonies with red cheeks came up: "Master Mu, we are here to send a bride to the Mu family. Shiqing is a good woman, Master Mu must treat Shiqing well!"
"Shiqing, if you suffer any grievances in the Mu family, our mother-in-law family will not agree! Hehehehe..."
The last few sneers made by the emcee were exactly like the movements of a night owl, which made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, many people also ran out of the house behind us in a panic, but they stopped in the middle of the yard, and no one dared to approach the door.
One of the servant-looking people was standing less than one meter away from me.
Not only did the man not have the smell of death, but he also couldn't feel the yin energy. Out of curiosity, I reached out and touched his arm, but in the end, I stretched my hand directly into the other person's body.
Is this person just a shadow?
By the way, the mystery Shiqing gives us is the cause of her death and finding her body. I can’t see what it was like back then, so where can I start to solve the problem?
Poetry is now recreating the scene of that year for us.
Just when I figured it out, I heard someone sighing: "They have sent their daughters here, so our Mu family has to welcome them in! Go out and pick up the bride! They are here to send the bride off, and they won't embarrass you."
"Those who go out to get married will be rewarded with ten pieces of ocean each."
The master of the Mu family promised a heavy reward, and the servants walked to the door tremblingly and welcomed the bride out of the sedan.
I thought they would pick up a dead person, but unexpectedly, what they picked up was a real bride.
That was the poetry of those days.
When the master of ceremonies saw Shiqing getting off the sedan, he couldn't help but shed tears: "Miss, when you go to your husband's house in the future, it will be no better than your own home. You must be kind to yourself!"
"Miss, if you are wronged by your husband's family in the future, you must tell your family!"
The master of ceremonies babbled for a long time before saying: "Miss, go in! We won't follow. It will be bad if it interferes with the happiness."
After the master of ceremonies reluctantly sent the poem to Mu's house, the door of Mu's house slowly closed amidst a strange suona sound.
The sound of the suona outside gradually faded away, and the Mu family was relieved when they heard the people outside walking away. But there was no one to arrange the rest.
Shiqing stood alone in the yard with her head covered, looking so at a loss.
"Well..." As soon as Mr. Mu who was sitting in the room said something, the old lady standing next to him stabbed Mr. Mu hard. Mr. Mu shuddered and said, "Well, since we are getting married, I The Mu family has to handle things smoothly. Today's incident is a bit sudden, and our Mu family is not ready yet. I think..."
"Miss Shiqing, stay at the Mu family first. When our Mu family is ready, we can invite relatives and friends and hold a beautiful wedding. That..."
Master Mu turned his head and looked around him. It seemed that he wanted to find a servant to serve Shi Qing. All the servants of the Mu family lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Master Mu.
Mr. Mu could only point to one person and said, "Take Miss Shiqing to rest."
The maid was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes, but she had no choice but to step forward and lead Shiqing to the backyard.
After Shiqing left, Mrs. Mu said impatiently: "Old man, our Tian'er cannot marry such a person! Look at the people who sent her here."
Master Mu said helplessly: "I know!"
"You know nothing!" Old Mrs. Mu said angrily: "Over the years, there are still not many people who have taken a fancy to our Mu family's property and Tian'er's talents? Are there still few women who got into his bed? In the past, those women cried and asked for help. Didn't you get rid of everything when you came to the door? What's wrong with this? What do you want me to say..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Mu slapped the case and roared: "Didn't you see who sent her? Can you afford to offend the people who sent her from Yanghuagou?"
Old Mrs. Mu immediately started crying: "What should we do? Do we want Tian'er to marry a woman who doesn't know whether she is a human or a ghost? How can this be good? Doesn't this mean that our Mu family will have no descendants?"
Master Mu said with a gloomy face: "Stabilize her first, and I will slowly think of a solution!"
