Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Bai Yilou picked up a piece of wood and put it on the pier, picked up the hatchet and worked silently.
At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky.
Bai Hao worked honestly and hard all morning chopping firewood. By now, his arms were sore and weak, his stomach was empty, and he was too hungry to lift his hand again.
Bai Hao stood up and moved his body. He glanced at Bai Yilou who was still chopping firewood like a machine, and said, "How about we go and see if dinner is ready?"
Bai Yilou said without raising his head, "Go by yourself."
Bai Hao suddenly became depressed, and looked at Bai Yilou helplessly.
It's almost impossible to please him once.
Normally, if Bai Yilou had told him this, he would have run away long ago, but the place he was in today was not free, and Bai Hao couldn't just wander around by himself, so Bai Yilou didn't go, and neither did he.
Bai Hao sat back on the pony saddle, leaning against the mountain of logs behind him, staring at Bai Yilou half dead.
Bai Yilou was doing what he was doing with a blank expression, like a robot repeating a movement, in an infinite loop, without any redundant movements.
After sitting bored for a long time, a little maid suddenly appeared outside the door. She stood outside the door, looked at Bai Hao, then went to Bai Yilou, and said shyly, "Aren't you going to eat? It's time for dinner."
Hearing these words, Bai Hao immediately swept away his sluggish mood, revived on the spot full of blood, stood up and said, "I'm going, where to eat."
The servant girl pointed behind her and said, "It's in the kitchen."
Bai Hao looked at Bai Yilou and motioned for you not to go?
Bai Yilou ignored him, and Bai Hao left the room in a panic.
The maid outside the door looked at Bai Yilou a few more times before reluctantly leaving.
As soon as the two left, Bai Yilou immediately put down what he was doing, disappeared, and stepped out of the house.
He stood in the courtyard of the third courtyard, and there were people coming and going in the courtyard, Bai Yilou released ghost power to detect, and found the person he was looking for after a while.
He went straight to the second courtyard. There are several other courtyards here. The Bai family's courtyard occupies a very large area. Although it is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, its scale is very spectacular.
Bai Yilou tilted his head slightly to confirm his perception again, and then passed through one of the arches of the other courtyard, and stepped into the other courtyard, but he just stepped into the courtyard, and before he could see the structure of the courtyard, several golden streaks burst out all around him. The light hit him.
Bai Yilou's expression changed in an instant, before he had time to resist, the next moment he felt a blatant attack all over his body, and his soul trembled instantly.
He couldn't control the ghost power of hiding his figure anymore, he showed his figure, and was instantly knocked out of the other courtyard.
This blow almost dissipated the ghost power from his body, Bai Yilou fell to the ground, and hurriedly raised his hands to cover his chest, suppressing the urge to cough.
At the same time, there were bursts of cracking sounds in the courtyard, followed by the sound of the door opening.
Bai Yilou frowned in pain, propped up his body and hurriedly stumbled towards the backyard.
Fortunately, it was lunch time, and there was no one in the courtyard.
In the other courtyard of the second entrance courtyard, a man in Taoist robes was holding a walking stick in his hand, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he saw that the bronze mirrors hanging on the doors of each room were now shattered into dross and scattered on the ground.
There are a total of eight ghost-suppressing mirrors in the courtyard. What kind of hostility must it be to destroy the bronze mirror soaked in the blood of the black dog for 49 days on July [-] and [-]?
It seems that the White House is not going to be peaceful in the near future.
Bai Hao had a full meal and went back to the firewood room contentedly.
He saw no one in the house from a distance, and he didn't know where Bai Yilou had gone, did he go to investigate?Bai Hao thought to himself, he didn't bring him with him.
As soon as Bai Hao entered the firewood room, the door suddenly slammed loudly. Bai Hao was startled, turned around to look, and saw Bai Yilou rolled to the ground from behind the door.
Bai Hao was shocked again and again, he hurriedly ran forward to pull Bai Yilou, but Bai Yilou was unconscious at the moment, and he couldn't cooperate with him, it was so heavy that Bai Hao worked his life out to kill him. help up.
In order to avoid being seen by outsiders, he moved Bai Yilou to lean on behind a pile of firewood, worriedly looked at Bai Yilou's pale face like paper, wondering what happened to him to make it like this.
Bai Yilou's eyes were closed tightly, his whole body had no temperature at all, like a corpse.
As soon as the word "corpse" appeared, Bai Hao became a little scared. He stretched out his hand to check Bai Yilou's breath. Fortunately, Bai Yilou did not die, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first time he has seen such a powerful Bai Yilou hurt like this. What happened to him that could make him suffer such a disadvantage?
Bai Hao looked worriedly at Bai Yilou, who suddenly fell into a coma, and was at a loss when he heard voices in the courtyard. Bai Hao hurriedly turned out of the firewood pile, and sat on the saddle pretending to be chopping firewood.
Bai Hao was doing things absent-mindedly. He always wanted to see if Bai Yilou was awake, but he was afraid of disturbing others. Fortunately, no one came to the firewood room this afternoon to ask the two of them.
Night gradually fell.
When Bai Hao was worried about when Bai Yilou would wake up, there was a sound behind the firewood pile, which was heard by Bai Hao, who was always paying attention, and hurried to look behind the firewood pile.
Bai Yilou had already woken up, but his condition was terrible.
His eyes were slightly closed, his lips were dry, and he tilted his head slightly following the movement Bai Hao made.
Bai Hao frowned tightly, squatted down slowly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you, how did you make it like this, what can I do, tell me."
Bai Yilou raised his finger with difficulty, moved his lips, but did not make a sound.
"What?" Bai Hao put his ear to Bai Yilou's mouth and said, "Say it again."
"...baby soul..."
"Ghost?" Bai Hao looked at Bai Yilou uncertainly and asked.
Bai Yilou nodded his head with difficulty, but Bai Hao was stunned, swallowed his saliva, and said, "What ghost."
Bai Yilou opened his eyes slightly, looked at Bai Hao, and said weakly, "Go and find out... is there, is there a place to throw dead, dead babies around here."
Dead baby?
Bai Hao's hair stood on end for a moment, and he asked anxiously, "What are you doing asking about this?"
Nima, you don't want him to look for it.
As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come, the ancients never deceive me.
I only heard Bai Yilou say: "Go help, help me find some."
Bai Hao: "..."
Bai Hao's originally worried expression collapsed in an instant. He looked at Bai Yilou miserably, and said very spinelessly: "Why are you looking for it? Can I not look for it?"
"Yes, yes." Bai Yilou looked at Bai Hao with difficulty, and said, "If you, you like to look at me like this, you...cough cough cough..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yilou hurriedly clutched his chest and coughed painfully.
Startled by his violent coughing, Bai Hao hurried forward to pat him on the back, compromised and said: "Okay, okay, don't get excited, I'll go find a job for you, okay?"
Bai Yilou didn't answer, but after getting Bai Hao's answer, his body couldn't bear the heavy damage of the ghost-suppressing mirror anymore, and he passed out directly in Bai Hao's arms, pressing Bai Hao to the ground.
Bai Hao was caught off guard, and was crushed by him. He struggled to sit up, patted Bai Yilou's face, and shouted: "Hey, Bai Yilou, are you okay?"
Bai Yilou, who had already passed out, couldn't answer.
Bai Hao looked at Bai Yilou irritably, sat on the ground for a while, and then tried his best to get Bai Yilou up and carried him on his back, planning to find a place to settle down first.
However, just as Bai Hao walked to the door, a group of servants happened to come from the yard and walked towards the kitchen.
Bai Hao hurriedly retreated into the house. Fortunately, the firewood house was located in a remote place, which happened to block other people's sight. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if others discovered Bai Yilou's abnormal state.
The most important thing right now is that he doesn't know what Bai Yilou is doing to make him look like this. To ensure safety, Bai Hao can't let others discover anything wrong with Bai Yilou rashly.
Fortunately, there has been no change in the mansion so far, it seems that Bai Yilou should not have disturbed anyone.
But why did he look like this?Bai Hao couldn't understand it.
He carried Bai Yilou back to his original position, carefully placed him, gathered some firewood to cover him, and planned to ask Butler Bai for a place to live before talking.
Bai Hao ran out of the firewood room in a flash, and ran to the lower room.
Because it is a place where servants live, there are no lanterns hanging on the road. The light along the way is very dark, and there are few sparks overhead, all illuminated by a few lanterns under the eaves.
There are crickets chirping in the corners of the walls, under the trees and in the grass, which makes the hot and dry July feel cool.
However, Bai Hao's heart was on fire. He remembered Bai Yilou in his heart, and was afraid that he would die by accident, and he was also worried that he would not find Butler Bai when he went to the next room.
Bai Hao didn't meet anyone along the way, he ran to the small courtyard in one breath, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath when he saw the lights in Butler Bai's room lit up.
After adjusting his state so that he didn't look so flustered, he stepped forward to knock on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
Butler Bai narrowed his eyes, saw that it was Bai Hao, and said with a smile: "It's you, it's just in time, I'll take you to where you live right now."
Bai Hao felt at ease, and nodded calmly, just in time, there is no need for him to ask.
Butler Bai went back to the house and picked up a lantern, and led Bai Hao straight out of the arch and into the back porch by the back door.
He pointed to the innermost simple hut, motioned to Bai Hao, and said, "Here, this is it. I built it specially for you two brothers. I was thinking that it would be inconvenient for you two brothers to live with a group of outsiders. No, I will give it to you directly." It’s clean and comfortable to build a hut here.”
Bai Hao looked at the room in front of him, and suddenly became angry. This old guy took the money but didn't do anything about it. Let them live here. How is it different from a dog guarding the gate?
He clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said euphemistically, "Steward Bai, it's not good to be special like this. We've only been here for a day. If other servants know that you're making trouble for us, I'm afraid I'll be run out in the future." , Besides, there is nothing inconvenient for us, or can you help me find out who to change with?"
Butler Bai naturally knew Bai Hao's thoughts, didn't he just not want to live here, so he was able to say such good things, so he also imitated Bai Hao's way of carrying people in a sedan chair, and said: "Whoever dares to run on you, it will be with me." If you can't make it through, you two brothers can live here with peace of mind, and if you have any shortcomings, just come and tell me."
When it came to this point, Bai Hao had nothing to say.
Butler Bai handed all the keys and lanterns to Bai Hao, and said with a smile, "I'll leave the keys to you. Hey, why don't you see your brother? Where did you go?"
Bai Hao held the key and said, "He's still working in the woodshed."
"That's fine." Butler Bai said, "Both brothers have to work hard, I'll go first." After saying that, Butler Bai twisted his fat buttocks, hummed a little tune and left.
Bai Hao made an international gesture to his back with a displeased face, went forward with the lantern in hand, unlocked the door, went in and looked at the dilapidated house carefully.
