There was a fish belly white color in the east, the door of Dai Er's house was wide open, Chen Yuan and Gu Ming were sitting on the threshold, no one spoke at this moment. Dai Er sat cross-legged on the bed, lost in thought, while Chen Yuan frowned, letting the cool morning breeze blow on his back.
"What's going on?" Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Even if those servants saw it, I would still think that they were dazzled or someone was pretending to be a ghost. But Dai Er also saw it, and he saw it so clearly... …”
"Are you sure you were awake at that time?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I don't know whether I'm awake or not? Even if I don't know once, how can I not know twice?" Dai Er said.
"Did you really see it?" Chen Yuan asked again.
"Damn it, I can kiss you just by pouting, you tell me if it's true or not." Dai Er said.
"Is there really a ghost on the bed?" Chen Yuan muttered.
"It's exactly like what they said. The eyes can see, the person is indeed awake, and the mind can think of things, but he can't move, not even half a finger, and can't make a sound." Dai Er said.
Chen Yuan remained silent, calmed down for a moment, and then said: "His second brother, please go back to the original story and tell me what happened after you entered the house. Don't miss any detail."
The sun had poked its head out, and golden light filtered into the room, shining on Dai Er's lips that were flying up and down, making the stars of spittle splash particularly clear.
"Stop, stop, needless to say about the touch, and needless to say the route you took," Chen Yuan said.
"Tell me every detail! I've told you everything I can remember, and now that you interrupt me, I can't connect again!" Dai Er said.
"Okay, you continue." Chen Yuan said helplessly.
Another long half-quarter of an hour later.
"You mean, the princess asked a girl to serve you?" Chen Yuan said.
"No wonder when we went out yesterday, the princess said she would personally send her apology." Gu Ming said with a smile.
"Then it's better not to give it away!" Dai Er said bitterly.
"Yeah, who would have thought that girl was menstruating." Gu Ming bared his teeth and smiled, as if he could see Dai Er's expression at that time.
"Why would the princess send a girl here who is menstruating?" Chen Yuan asked, picking his eyebrows.
"She said that the princess didn't ask her, so she was probably negligent. She also didn't know anything about it, so she definitely didn't tell her, otherwise would the princess let her come over?" Dai Er said.
"Why does it always feel wrong..." Chen Yuan muttered.
"What's wrong?" Dai Er asked.
"I can't figure out what the connection is, but there is indeed some connection." Chen Yuan muttered again.
"What are you thinking about?" Dai Er was a little anxious, maybe because the fire last night hadn't subsided.
"Look - Tingting, I discovered that the so-called 'ghost' is designed to scare women who are having menstruation. But you haven't had menstruation, and you can't have it either. But before you see the 'ghost', you really I came into contact with a woman who was having menstruation again, do you think there is any connection?" Chen Yuan said.
"Is it possible that she was supposed to be suppressed by a ghost, but she was already suppressed by you, so you were suppressed by a ghost on her behalf?" Gu Ming joked.
Dai Er frowned, suddenly jumped out of bed and said, "Let's go! I'll ask her again!"
"Not here? How could it be? She said she was in this courtyard." Dai Er stood at the door of the courtyard where he met Tingting that day and said to a maid.
"It's not that she doesn't live here, it's that she's not here right now." The maid rolled her eyes.
"Oh, where did she go?" Dai Er asked.
"I'm staying at Madam's place." The maid said, her tone seemed a little jealous.
"Why are you staying at Madam's place?" Dai Er asked.
"How do I know? Madam asked the housekeeper to bring a message yesterday, saying that no matter when Lele returns to the room, she will be asked to go there, which makes me wait until I get up to sleep." After saying that, he yawned and walked around the three of them. Go to the door. As soon as he went out, he poked his head in and said, "Here, I'm back."
The three of them looked and saw that the woman was slowly walking towards her. The rising sun penetrated her thin clothes and outlined her graceful figure. Dai Er couldn't help but recall what happened last night, and his breathing became a little short. He said awkwardly: "Early in the morning, qi and blood circulate quickly, and I can't hold it back."
"Xiao Lele." Dai Erthief greeted with a smile.
"Brother, why are you here?" The woman was a little embarrassed.
"What are you doing?" Dai Er asked.
"Madam, madam asked me to go and ask me, ask me if I have served you well..." The woman's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
"Oh, are you okay?" Dai Er asked.
"Well, Madam didn't raise any suspicion. Just tell her not to be angry," the woman said.
"Then why did you sleep at the princess's place last night?" Dai Er asked again.
"Madam, madam said that I did a good job, and she wronged me and asked the housekeeper to give her ginseng tea." The woman said, her mouth dropped as soon as she finished speaking, which made her feel particularly distressed. He added, "It's all my fault that I was clumsy and didn't hold the tea cup steady and spilled water on my clothes. I haven't drunk ginseng tea yet."
"Oh, my clothes got wet, so I stayed at the princess's place." Dai Er nodded.
"Well, Madam asked the housekeeper to bring me some clean clothes, and also asked some sisters to help me wash myself, and asked me to stay in the wing and go back tomorrow," the woman said.
"Oh, did you see anything strange after you fell asleep last night?" Dai Er asked.
"No, no." The woman said timidly, "I have fallen asleep, my eyes are closed, how can I see..." the woman said again, indescribably cute.
"Um..." Dai Eryi was speechless for a moment, "Then did you have any strange dreams?"
"Yeah!" The woman blushed and nodded while burying her head in her maturing breasts.
"Oh? What did you dream about?" Dai Er asked eagerly.
"That's, that's what happened last night, last night..." If it weren't for the three people's deep inner strength and their hearing being much sharper than ordinary people, the woman's voice would have been inaudible.
"Uh..." Dai Er seemed to be choked. No wonder the woman's expression didn't look like she was scared. It turned out she wasn't dreaming about a ghost.
"Okay, okay, then go back and have a rest. You must not be able to sleep well if you dream like that. I often do it." Dai Er scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hmm..." The woman nodded and hummed, letting the three of them go in. She turned around slightly and glanced at Dai Er from the corner of her eye, then quickly ran into the house and locked the door.
Dai Er watched the squirming little buttocks and blushing pretty face disappear from sight, his heart felt hot, and there was a fire burning in his lower abdomen. He stared straight at the door that had just been closed, panting heavily and moving slowly towards the door as if possessed by a ghost.
Chen Yuan, who had been frowning and saying nothing for a long time, suddenly took Dai Er's hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. Dai Er was so shocked that he came to his senses, quickly retracted his hand, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"
"How are you? Pretty, aren't you? Do you miss girls too? I touched her with this hand last night. If you want to smell her, just smell her! Let's go, let's go together." Dai Er winked.
"Have you washed your hands?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Yeah, your nose is pretty good. You don't smell girly, right?" Dai Erjian said with a smile.
"I'm serious." Chen Yuan said seriously.
Dai Er saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and said honestly: "Wash it. When you walk out the door, there is water in the basin on the shelf next to the door, so I wiped my face twice. I didn't sleep well last night. , are you awake?"
"Let's go! Go back quickly!" After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed towards where Dai Er lived, and the two of them quickly followed.
The three of them had just returned when they happened to meet the crying maid who had finished cleaning the room yesterday and was holding a basin of water in her hand, about to pour it into the courtyard. With quick eyes and quick hands, Chen Yuan snatched the washbasin from the maid's hand, and without stopping, he turned around in a circle and slowly stopped. Not a drop of water in the basin was spilled.
"What are you doing!" The maid shouted like Dai Er, with exactly the same concatenation.
"It's none of your business here. We'll take care of the rest ourselves. You can go down." Chen Yuan said.
The maid rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan. If she hadn't seen him handsome, she would have cursed him a lot. After the maid left the door, Chen Yuan put the tip of his nose close to the basin, and then said: "Sure enough, hemp boiling powder."
"What is that?" Dai Er asked.
"You can see ghosts thanks to it. It's so clever!" Chen Yuan couldn't help but praise.
"What, Brother Yuan?" Gu Ming, who was still confused, said again: "I have heard of Ma Fei Powder. The disciples in the sect used it when scraping bones to treat poison."
"It's the same thing as Ma Fei Powder. It's just that a bowl of Ma Fei Powder can be mixed with more than a dozen bowls of Ma Fei Powder." Chen Yuan said.
"Oh, the medicine is more powerful." Gu Ming said.
"Well, Ma Fei Powder needs to be taken to take effect. This Ma Fei Powder only needs to be stained on the skin and flesh to take effect, and it will last longer." Chen Yuan said.
"Drinking Ma Fei Powder only numbs the person slightly, so that the person does not feel the pain or the pain is less severe, and the person can still move. This Ma Fei Powder is very powerful and can make the body unable to move. The mouth cannot speak, but the person can still be awake, so his eyelids can move." Chen Yuan added.
"It's exactly the same as when he was pressed into bed by a ghost!" Dai Er suddenly said.
"Any doctor who is good at making this Ma Fei Powder can roughly prepare it, but I have never heard of this Ma Fei Powder." Gu Ming said.
"I know of very few doctors who can purify this thing to this level." Chen Yuan said.
"So the second child was numbed by this thing and couldn't move. It's not that he was suppressed by the ghost and couldn't move." Gu Mingdao.
"Yeah!" Chen Yuan nodded noncommittally.
"Damn it! Who poisoned me?" Dai Er scolded, "You two are fine. The time we were not together yesterday was when you went to the princess's place for a banquet. Could it be that you were poisoned while drinking by the bonfire? poison?"
"No, this thing will take effect within half an hour, and then we went outside the city together." Gu Ming said.
"Then when did I do it..." Dai Er was confused for a moment, frowning and scratching his head.
"It's the menstrual cloth." Chen Yuan said.
"All people are menstrual cloth." Chen Yuan repeated. Seeing that the two of them were confused, they both stared at him, and then said: "That ghost put the medicine on the menstrual cloth."
The two of them suddenly realized, and Dai Er let out a long "Ouch——".
"That's not right, Brother Yuan. If a woman changes her menstrual cloth during the day, isn't it possible that she might get wet while working?" Gu Ming said.
"So you have to put the medicine on the strip that they need to change before going to bed. Women must change it before going to bed." Chen Yuan said.
"Who can control this?" Gu Ming said.
"Of course he's the one in charge of distributing clothes." Chen Yuan said.
"Butler?" Dai Er asked.
"The housekeeper wouldn't do this. Even if the housekeeper is responsible for distributing clothes, he will definitely not be responsible for the menstrual cloth." Chen Yuan said.
"Wait for me." After Dai Er said that, he flew out of the door.
"So Tingting found out that the ghost picked out menstrual women to scare her because only women who used menstrual cloths would be numb and unable to move." Gu Ming nodded.
"Well, if you don't numb yourself, what should you do if you encounter a bold person who exposes his secrets?" Chen Yuan said with a smile, "And the effect of numbing is better. People will think that it is the power of ghosts and gods that prevents them from moving. Didn't you see? Both are scared."
"I'm so scared!" Dai Er cursed and flew back, glared at Chen Yuan, and said: "I asked, it used to be the person named Li Niang who was in charge, but now no one is in charge, there is a special room. Go get it yourself.”
"Get it yourself? How could that happen?" Chen Yuan fell into deep thought again after hearing this.
"Also, the second brother said that he fell asleep as soon as the girl left yesterday, but how come the girl didn't get numb?" Gu Ming also thought deeply.
"This is simple. Just put the medicine on one side and it will be fine. But how can you ensure that the medicine-smeared side is worn outside? Unless the person named Lele also knows it?" Chen Yuan said.
"I asked, and Lele said that after she was selected by the princess, she had her personal maid wash her and bring her to my room." Dai Er said.
"So her menstrual cloth was put on by the maid?" Chen Yuan asked.
"It should be." Dai Er nodded and said, "Lele said that she never moved from washing to dressing, and she was always being taken care of."
"The princess said that the maid washed Lele and changed her menstrual cloth, but she didn't tell the madam that she couldn't serve the second child?" Gu Ming asked doubtfully.
"Hey! In the eyes of the master, the body of a servant is nothing. Some girls in the brothel are forced to accept guests when trouble comes, and there are even some who are good at it." Dai Er said with no surprise.
"It's very clear that this 'ghost' has absolutely nothing to do with the princess, at least not with those two servants." Chen Yuan said.
"She chose Lele, and it happened that Lele was menstruating. Her personal maids were waiting for Lele to take a bath, and the clothes were worn by the maids." Chen Yuan added.
"What should we do? Are you going to stare at the princess now?" Dai Er asked.
"Don't worry about it for now. Don't alert the enemy and pretend you don't know anything. Now go out and go find the fortune teller." Chen Yuan said.
"Yes! This matter has nothing to do with him." Gu Ming said.
The three of them chatted and went back to Chen Yuan's yard. They woke up Tai Mo, who was still sleeping: "Mo Mo, let's go and eat tofu." Tai Mo didn't even open his eyes when he heard this, he had already gotten up and put on his clothes. . Everyone smiled, and Chen Yuan asked at this time: "But his second brother, although this numbing powder is very powerful, if it is only absorbed through the skin, the effect will only last for an hour. How come you were intoxicated for two hours?" "
After hearing this, Dai Er scratched his head in embarrassment, his face turned red, and he said, "Didn't I smell the fragrance on my hand..." He suddenly sounded like Lele.
Chen Yuan laughed loudly and said, "It turned out to be an overdose."
Gu Ming shuddered and looked at Dai Er with indescribable disgust.
