Chapter 1434 If You Lend It Out, if Xiaoli Doesn’t Pay It Back...
It is absolutely impossible to lend money to Xiaoli for a pearl. It doesn’t matter whether it has money or not. Even if it does, what if Xiaoli doesn’t pay it back after lending it out? The so-called brothers settle accounts openly. Even if the relationship is good, once money is involved, it's hard to tell. If Xiaoli doesn't pay back, it can't go after others to collect debts?
Pearl pretended not to hear, and the flickering light flew around the coffin lid.
Xiao Li stared at it for a while and saw that it was unwilling to borrow it. He pouted and muttered: "I won't default on the loan."
Pearl still ignored it. When it came to money matters, none of them named Liu were easy to talk to.
Yes, Pearl has always felt that her surname is Liu and her surname is Liu Wei.
Xiao Li polished the pearl for a while, but when it didn't agree, he had no choice but to give up. The little guy took out two large chairs from the side hall and placed them next to the coffin. He asked Li Yu'er to sit on one and he sat on one, guarding the coffin. , waiting for the leg-cutting ghost to appear.
The door of the ancestral hall is always open all year round, and the wind in the empty room is quiet. Xiao Li feels sleepy after sitting for a while. He is a child and doesn't stay up late on weekdays. After sitting for a long time, he naturally gets sleepy. Looking at Li Yu'er next to him, he is already sleepy. Nodding his head, he drifted into a nap.
Xiao Li was very worried. He pushed Li Yu'er to wake up and whispered: "Sister Yu'er, I'd better take you back first."
Li Yu'er opened her eyes, grabbed Xiao Li's hand in a daze, shook her head at him dependently, and wanted to follow him.
Xiao Li sighed: "You will catch a cold if you sleep here for one night."
Li Yu'er didn't listen, and stood up and put her chair next to Xiao Li's chair, getting closer to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li had no choice but to hold her hand, thinking in his mind, if the person who cut off the leg didn't show up after another hour, would he not wait?
Time passed bit by bit, and Pearl had finished all the late-night snacks by leaning on the minced meat in Tang Qin'er's wound. She casually nestled next to Tang Qin'er's skirt, padded with soft cotton wool, and lay on her stomach. Going to take a nap.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, I heard small footsteps coming from outside the door.
Xiao Li also heard it. He immediately opened his eyes and woke up Li Yu'er at the same time.
Li Yu'er was confused, scratched her face, and looked at Xiao Li in confusion.
Xiao Li put the two chairs back into their original positions and took Li Yu'er to hide behind the memorial tower. The ancestral hall was patrolled by the townspeople, and they could not be discovered until they were sure who the person coming was.
Pearl was relatively free. She retracted directly into Tang Qin'er's skirt, hiding herself tightly just like she had done before when facing the prying eyes of Zhu Shu and Liu Yue.
The footsteps outside the door gradually grew louder, and then, there was a reflection of candlelight. Xiao Li poked his head out and saw a woman, holding a candlestick, walking inside.
Liu Xiniang?
Xiao Li remembered this name and became excited.
But he saw the candlestick approaching, and the woman's face hidden in the darkness revealed a beautiful and beautiful face under the candlelight.
is her.
Xiao Li's steps stopped, and he shook his head at Li Yu'er, signaling her not to move either.
Outside, Liu Yue, who had returned, put down the candlestick in her hand. She looked around to make sure there was no one else in the ancestral hall, then walked to the coffin and looked at Tang Qin'er's body calmly.
Unlike her who was startled and frightened half an hour ago, at this moment, her expression was calm and her movements were decisive. She took a deep breath and raised her hand to search for something on Tang Qin'er's body.
From the lapel to the cuffs, he found nothing. Liu Yue frowned and pursed her lips and said, "It's impossible. It should be there..."
With this thought in mind, she put her hand on Tang Qin'er's skirt.
With a "crash", the hem of her skirt was lifted up, but before she could see clearly what was underneath her skirt, she was attacked by a black shadow that suddenly jumped out and covered her face.
Liu Yue was startled and quickly stepped away, then she saw a black bird flying out of Tang Qin'er's coffin and heading straight out the window.
"Damn it." She cursed and managed to steady her breathing and calm down.
Without fear or fear, Liu Yue walked over again and turned over Tang Qin'er's body, but found nothing.
She held the edge of the coffin, her fingertips turned white, and bit her lip fiercely: "I saw it clearly, how could I not see it?"
This afternoon, Liu Yue was forced to rush to the ancestral hall by Zhu Shu. People were coming and going outside the ancestral hall, but the two of them did not dare to approach. They only dared to hide aside and wait for nightfall before sneaking in secretly.
But at that time, outside the circle of people, Liu Yue clearly saw someone approaching Tang Qin'er's coffin and putting something inside.
But how come there isn’t one now?
When Liu Yue was suspicious, she suddenly looked out the window again: "That bird from before?"
She hurriedly ran to the window, but the bird was completely black and had wings. In this gloomy night, it had already disappeared.
Clenching her fist and hammering the window frame hard, Liu Yue's eyes flashed with annoyance: "I thought I had a clue, but I didn't know it was another trip in vain. I'm really unwilling!"
Angrily, she thought that she had used the excuse of abdominal pain to leave Zhushu and sneak back. For fear of being discovered by Zhushu and causing trouble, she had to take another look at Tang Qiner's coffin and reluctantly left again.
It wasn't until Liu Yue walked away again and the sound of footsteps was almost gone that Xiao Li took Li Yu'er out from behind the spiritual throne tower.
Looking at the direction Liu Yue left and looking at the gloomy and heavy coffin, Xiao Li sat over and started rummaging in the coffin, imitating Liu Yue's example.
After finding nothing, he looked at Li Yu'er and asked, "What is she looking for?"
How could Li Yu'er know? She smacked her mouth in confusion and grabbed Xiao Li's clothes, waiting for when he would finish and go back.
Xiao Li frowned, staring at Tang Qin'er's coffin more and more fascinated. For a while, he suddenly felt blessed. He reached out on tiptoes and turned Tang Qin'er's body around, turning her back to face up. facing down.
This time, Xiao Li really saw something on Tang Qin'er's back, which was thin and stuck to her vest, hidden in her clothes.
Xiao Li took it out and looked at it under the moonlight, but it was a piece of yellow paper with runes written on it.
Yellow Talisman?
Just a ghost-suppressing talisman that can be seen everywhere among the people?
Xiao Li didn't believe it, and felt that this might not be what the woman just now was looking for.
Just when he was puzzled, the pearl flew back from the window. It fell directly on Xiao Li's shoulder. When it saw the yellow paper in his hand, it jumped over and poked the yellow paper with its small mouth. runes.
Xiao Li hurriedly stopped him and said, "I don't know if it's important yet, so don't break it."
Pearl raised her head and called out to Xiao Li: "Jie Jie."
Xiao Li was stunned and asked in astonishment: "Isn't this cinnabar?" After saying that, he picked it up and smelled it, and sure enough he smelled that the runes on the yellow paper were not drawn with cinnabar, but with human blood.
Xiao Li folded the yellow paper, put it in his arms, and said, "Take it back and show it to mother." After putting the yellow paper away, he restored Tang Qin'er's body to its original shape, and looked around to make sure that everything was restored to its original state. By the time I looked at the time, it was almost time. I guessed that the person who cut off the legs would not show up tonight, so I cautiously took Li Yu'er and Pearl out of the side door.
