Cheng Baiyu followed Ye Ming to a small town and looked around. He saw that there were many townspeople here and they seemed to have not experienced war.
The residents in the town live a pretty good life and can get by.
After arriving in the town, Ye Ming pointed to a large family with a "Yu Mansion" plaque and said:
"Let's go, let's eat food from this family today."
Seeing this, Cheng Baiyu quickly grabbed Ye Ming:
"Brother Shanyuan, no, this looks like a wealthy family. How can we just enter it?"
"It's not a wealthy family, so I don't like it. It's a wealthy family. Let's go!"
Ye Ming staggered a little crazy, pulling Cheng Baiyu towards that house.
When the concierge saw the two of them, he looked them up and down. He couldn't figure out where they were coming from and didn't dare to chase them away easily.
Ye Ming smiled and pointed at Cheng Baiyu and said:
"This person is here to help your family deal with evil spirits. Why don't you invite someone in quickly? How dare you be so negligent."
When the concierge heard this, he looked at Cheng Baiyu, who was dressed as a scholar, with some surprise. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like he could get rid of evil spirits.
It's just that they don't talk about their family's affairs to irrelevant people, so not many people know about it.
The concierge couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask the housekeeper for advice.
After hearing this, the housekeeper decided to let him in.
In this way, while Cheng Baiyu was confused, the two of them successfully entered "Yu Mansion".
When the housekeeper saw the two of them, he saw that Ye Ming seemed like a madman but Cheng Baiyu seemed normal, so he asked him how he knew about Yu Mansion.
How did Cheng Baiyu know what was going on in Yu Mansion? His eyes darkened a bit. He was about to say that he didn't know, but he heard Ye Ming laugh and say:
"Another attack, another attack."
If ordinary people heard this, they would probably think it was nonsense.
But when the housekeeper heard this, his expression changed, and he ran straight to the backyard without caring about the two of them.
Seeing this, Cheng Baiyu was a little confused.
Before he could do anything, Ye Ming pulled his sleeves and followed the housekeeper.
Soon, they arrived at the backyard of the mansion.
At this time, you can see a group of people surrounding a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes.
This man's abdomen was bulging and looked very abnormal, as if he was ten months pregnant.
The middle-aged man with this appearance was laughing, making trouble, and talking nonsense:
"If you don't want to die well, you don't want to die well!"
While scolding, he slapped himself.
Several servants around him stepped forward and held him down.
Just by pressing harder, I heard the middle-aged man scream, "The child is going to be gone."
A second look showed that its abdomen really showed signs of exploding.
No one dared to press harder, but the middle-aged people started making trouble again.
The housekeeper, several wives, young masters, and ladies all called this person "Master".
Seeing their master like this, everyone was worried.
In a panic, the housekeeper discovered that the two people who said they could exorcise evil spirits were also here. He immediately took Cheng Baiyu's hand and said, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
"Expert, please take action and save my master!"
Being begged by the housekeeper, Cheng Baiyu couldn't refuse. He had no other ability, so he had to take out his slingshot and hit Mr. Yu with stones.
Seeing this, the housekeeper quickly stopped Cheng Baiyu's movements:
"Master, what are you doing?"
"I'll give this a try."
"Slingshot? Master, stop joking, human life is at stake, please use your magic power to eliminate evil spirits!"
Cheng Baiyu said truthfully:
"But I only know this one trick, and if you don't let me use it, there's nothing I can do about it."
When the housekeeper heard this, he had no choice but to let Cheng Baiyu give it a try.
Cheng Baiyu opened his slingshot and ejected a stone, hitting Mr. Yu on the forehead.
Mr. Yu was hit by a stone and screamed twice at the same time.
One sound was from Mr. Yu, and the other was from a woman.
After the screams, Mr. Yu sat down on the ground and stopped going crazy.
But her belly still looks like she was ten months pregnant.
Seeing that he had become quiet, everyone gathered around him and asked how he was doing.
After Master Yu took a few deep breaths, he said that nothing happened for the time being.
Seeing this, the housekeeper understood that Cheng Baiyu's method was really effective, and immediately pulled him and asked him to play Mr. Yu a few more times.
Cheng Baiyu tried a few times as he was told, but found that subsequent attacks were useless.
Only Mr. Yu cried out in pain, and the woman's screams were no longer heard.
"Stop, stop, don't fight. That female ghost got into my intestines and can't escape. It's useless to fight."
Mr. Yu was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he repeatedly begged for mercy.
Seeing this, Cheng Baiyu stopped.
Later, Mr. Yu arranged for someone to help him into the house, and called the housekeeper, Ye Ming, and Cheng Baiyu. No one else was allowed to approach.
After the surroundings calmed down, Mr. Yu no longer cared about his image and directly took Cheng Baiyu's hand and begged him for help.
Cheng Baiyu naturally didn't, and subconsciously looked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Didn't Master Yu ask other experts to come and see this disaster?"
The butler heard this and replied for Mr. Yu:
"Please, since I was possessed by evil spirits, I have invited a lot of Taoist priests and monks, and they have also burned incense at the Chenghuang Temple, but it's all in vain.
Many people say there is no solution to this problem. "
When Cheng Baiyu heard this, he couldn't help but asked strangely:
"Why do you say it can't be solved?"
"this......"
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed to speak for a moment, so he looked at Master Yu and said nothing.
Seeing this, Mr. Yu coughed dryly and then said:
"They said it was my comeuppance, so there was no way around it..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Yu himself couldn't help but lower his head and didn't elaborate further.
"Retribution? Is this evil spirit known to the head of the family?"
Cheng Baiyu was not stupid, and he immediately guessed that it might be caused by something immoral that this man had done before.
"this......"
Family leader Yu was a little embarrassed to speak.
Cheng Baiyu knew that this matter was private and didn't want to press for anything.
But Ye Ming suddenly said:
"It's okay if you don't tell me. The baby in your belly is about to be born anyway."
"What?"
Master Yu and the housekeeper were shocked when they heard this.
"How can a man give birth to a child?"
Ye Ming smiled and replied:
"Of course men can't have children."
"What will happen if I can't give birth?"
"It's nothing, it's just swelling to death."
Ye Ming said relaxedly.
When Mr. Yu heard this, his face looked horrified. After his expression changed several times, he still said:
"These are all the sins I made back then..."
It turns out that Mr. Yu once had a sweetheart when he was young. Before the two got married, they were already secretly married.
Master Yu wanted to marry her, but was unable to do so due to family background.
His father had arranged a separate marriage for him.
Mr. Yu was reluctant at first and wanted to fight.
As a result, he accidentally met his betrothed partner at a temple fair, so he decided to abandon the woman he was originally in love with.
Well, this is purely because he wants to follow his father's arrangements, not because of his beauty.
Later, he was worried that his pregnant sweetheart would cause trouble and embarrass his family, so he took the first step and strangled his sweetheart, who was already seven months pregnant, to death and threw him into a well...
Over the years, nothing happened. Mr. Yu had almost forgotten the past, until two months ago, he was suddenly possessed by the ghost of his former best friend.
After Cheng Baiyu heard what happened to Mr. Yu, he immediately had the urge to lift the table and leave.
But after all, he didn't really leave directly, he still sat down.
Sure enough, for him, he still couldn't do such domineering things.
After telling the origin of the evil spirit, Mr. Yu swore to heaven that he had changed his ways, otherwise he would drown. He used this oath to express his intention and asked Cheng Baiyu for help.
Before Cheng Baiyu agreed, Ye Ming suddenly asked again:
"Master Yu, who was the person who went to the temple fair with you back then?"
"An old servant in the family."
Mr. Yu replied casually, not feeling anything wrong.
When the butler on the side heard this, he was a little surprised and said:
"Sir, I remember that at the temple fair, you were having a bad temper with your family, so you went alone without anyone."
"How could it be? I remember going with an old servant at home."
Mr. Yu said with certainty,
"I was able to meet my current wife in advance, thanks to him pointing it out to me!"
The housekeeper asked curiously:
"There were only a few old servants in the family back then. I still remember them. I wonder if the master went with that old servant?"
"Nature is and..."
The name that was supposed to be blurted out suddenly got stuck. Mr. Yu paused for a moment and began to think in silence.
"Strange, why can't I remember the old servant's name..."
"Master, is it the old clock?"
"no."
"That is......"
The housekeeper asked several people's names in succession, but Mr. Yu said no.
The housekeeper said: "How could it be possible? There were only so many old servants in the mansion back then. Could it be that there were none at all?"
Mr. Yu also realized the problem at this time, and his face turned pale:
"Now that I think about it, I don't even remember the appearance of that old servant clearly..."
Cheng Baiyu, who was listening to them talking about this, suddenly felt a storm in his heart.
Because he immediately thought of the home of the young man he saw last night who sold poison to "save" his mother. An old servant also appeared inexplicably and disappeared afterwards...
This feeling made Cheng Baiyu feel uncomfortable and subconsciously looked at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming smiled a little abnormally, and suddenly looked at it, even a little bit weird.
"Expert..."
Master Yu and the housekeeper both looked at Cheng Baiyu, feeling frightened and hoping to be comforted by "experts".
But as everyone knows, the "expert" in front of him is also panicking now.
Cheng Baiyu looked at Ye Ming for help, hoping that he could give an explanation.
Ye Ming smiled:
"Master Yu can put a copy of the Purana Sutra on his belly and place the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue on the bedside. After one night, the evil spirits will be gone."
When Mr. Yu heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
The two of them also understood at this time that this madman was the real master.
They were immediately arranged to live in the best wing in the mansion.
It was originally a room for one person, but Cheng Baiyu didn't dare to sleep alone no matter what, and insisted on being in the same room as Ye Ming.
"Don't worry, Lao Cheng, that happened more than 20 years ago. It's over long ago. It's okay."
The more Ye Ming said this, the more scared Cheng Baiyu became.
It's just that after the night gets dark, it's inevitable that I'll still feel sleepy and fall asleep...
After sleeping until midnight, I got up to urinate. As soon as I went out, I saw an old servant standing there at the door, looking face to face with him, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth...
"ah!!!"
Cheng Baiyu yelled and woke up suddenly, breaking into a cold sweat. Looking around, he realized that the sky was already bright.
The evil spirits in Mr. Yu's body have gone away, and his abdomen has returned to normal.
Cheng Baiyu had no intention of exploring the secrets of the Yu Mansion and just wanted to leave. Completely ignoring Master Yu's gratitude and attempts to stay, he dragged Ye Ming away without even eating breakfast.
After recovering, Mr. Yu felt refreshed and couldn't help but want to find a woman again.
His wife was originally beautiful, but now she is old and yellow, and they both hate each other, so he is not interested.
There are still several concubines in the house, but they are a bit boring, and I still want to find something new.
He thought about going to the town to see if there were any beauties. Anyway, he had money and could easily get them.
It's just that there aren't many beauties in the town that stand out.
After a lap, I was out of town before I knew it.
Not far from the town, there is a small river.
When he got nearby, he heard a woman crying.
Master Yu followed the sound and saw a woman in mourning clothes crying by the river.
Looking at its appearance again, people are very moved, and they have already taken steps towards it unconsciously.
And under a tree not far away, an old servant was watching all this, with a smile on his lips...
...
