Chapter 20: Dive into the night with the wind, moisten the heart silently 1
That's just a dream, it's not true.
Can the curse really kill people? Can it turn the chivalrous woman who once traveled around the world with a sword into a living dead person who can only survive on the sickbed.
That's terrible. Gradually sunken cheeks, eyes covered with gray-black smoke, the hand stretched out to him quickly dried up, the skin peeled off like old bark, and finally only the white bones were left.
"Little snot, why are you crying?"
No, no, that's not the voice of the master's wife. The voice of the master's wife should be more gentle than that of the yellow warbler. How can it become a burning voice after drinking boiling iron juice?
"The master's wife will get better. Go and practice."
The beautiful face has turned into a skeleton, but she grinned and smiled at herself.
"Don't come here..." I couldn't help trembling and retreating.
"Come here, the master will wipe your face for you. Look at your crying." Bai Gu's hand stretched out and poked his cheek hard.
He could no longer control his inner fear and panic, and shouted, "No, don't touch me! Go away!"
"Puff--" It seemed that someone couldn't help laughing. The skeleton disappeared, and what he saw in front of him gradually turned into a dimly lit room. Only then did Han Ruxu realize that it was just a nightmare.
Master's wife... Master's wife actually turned into a skeleton in her dream and poked the white bone's finger on his face.
How can you have such a dream? The master who is still beautiful and still smiles at herself after despheming to death!
"Lord Han, with all due respect, even if I dislike that my cloak is not new, I can't scream as if it will eat you. A big man is entangled with these little things all day, and it is difficult to become a big weapon."
Han Ruxu was stunned and turned around again. Wei Tanyi was holding a cloak and seemed to put it on him, but he was only wearing a single coat. It seems that I'm nosy. With a sneer, he folded the cloak in half and hung it back on the screen.
Watching him drag his tired steps back to ** to lie down, Han Ruxu's head, which was stunned by the nightmare, finally woke up - he should have come to visit the sick, right? This guy fell ill since he took over the jade seal last time, and he happened to meet the autumn festival, the hardest month of the year, and he didn't even have time to rest, let alone visit the doctor. After the autumn festival was over, he bought some light pastries.
When Wei Tanyi came, he didn't wake up. When he didn't pay attention, he looked into his nose again. Sure enough, it was no different from death. But didn't it also wake up?
"Si Si said that you were too sick to get out of bed. What kind of disease is it? Why don't you go to see a doctor?" After wiping his face, Han Ru asked.
"It's no big deal. I've been here for more than ten years. It's not bad for the past few days. It's useless to look at the doctor. It can't be cured horizontally and vertically. Wei Tanyi was very indifferent, but he didn't even have the strength to sit up.
Thinking that he had just got out of bed to put on a cloak for himself, Han Ruqi was ashamed and said awkwardly, "I'm really sorry just now. I haven't had a nightmare for a long time, and I didn't distinguish between reality and illusion for a while."
"Well," he still said in such a lukewarm tone that people couldn't tell whether he was angry or not. "What did you dream about?"
Dreaming of... "Some things that can't happen. Forget it, it's my fault. I won't explain it.
Wei Tanyi lay motionless and suddenly asked, "Your mother-in-law likes to call you a little snot?"
In a word, Han Ruxu almost fell to the ground from the stool: "You, how did you... do you peek at me in my dream?"
"Do you think there is something wrong with my brain?" Wei Tanyi was not angry. "Obately, your nightmare prevented me from resting, and you still blamed me for peeking?"
Han Ruxu took a few deep breaths and thought that he was sleepy. How could the things in the dream be peeked and heard?
"Dreams are born from the heart, and obsession is also born from the heart, and the soul is detained after death is precisely because of obsession. Your dream is caused by the resentment of others. If it were the imagination of ordinary people, I can't see it." The voice was weak, Wei Tanyi explained.
"You mean, the nightmare I just had was because of the master's wife?"
"I want to ask you, how can I know?" Because he couldn't see, Wei Tanyi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled cunningly.
Not knowing that he had fallen into a trap, Han Ru touched the wooden charm through his clothes thoughtfully.
Is the master's soul still here?
That is to say, I can see her and ask who killed her back then?
Thinking of this, Han Ruxu was excited and his voice trembled: "Is she still there? I want to see her. Is there any way to see her?
Wei Tanyi answered lazily. He didn't seem to hear it, and said, "Do you still have the ecstasy incense you used last time? Sell it to me!"
"Lord Han, don't laugh," the dying shopkeeper suddenly raised his voice. "not to mention that ecstasy fragrance is rare in the world. The recipe has long been extinct. A small spoon that night is enough to buy a street, even everywhere. Why should I sell it to you?"
He was hit with a stuffy stick, and Han Ru was tongue-tight. Reason reminded him that he came to visit the doctor and talk about it later, but it was difficult to let go of his feelings. The impulse to ask the murderer who killed the master's wife fluctuated in his chest and fell in his chest and could not be calmed down.
"Well, although I can't see it, I know how pitiful Lord Han looks at this time."
Wei Tanyi turned over and hid his treacherous smiling face: "Of course, it's easy to help the little snot see his teacher, but I want three conditions."
Han Ruxu asked almost immediately, "What's the condition?"
"First, the debt you owe me has doubled."
"..." Three thousand taels is enough for him to turn over to the next life.
"Second, no matter what happens, don't draw a knife to me."
"In case you do the job of killing and arson, do you want me to be negligent?" Han Ruqi's eyes are bulging.
Wei Tanyi snorted and said, "You can mobilize 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital to arrest me. Does Lord Han think he is more powerful than 100,000 forbidden troops?" Han Ruqi didn't answer with an iron face.
"Third, I want three more conditions."
"You dream!"
Han Ruxu roared out, completely ignoring the patient he was facing.
"Ha ha, I'm just joking. Why should Lord Han be so stingy?" Wei Tanyi stretched out his hand and waved it peacefully. "The third condition, if you can't abide by the second condition, you have to resist my counterattack."
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it. Han Ruqi nodded: "If I can't take you, let me deal with it."
Wei Tanyi put down his hand and gently tapped his finger on the quilt: "I hope there won't be that day."
Han Ruqi was silent. Does that day mean that he fought back, or did he break his promise?
