The next day, Martial Master told Cai Wenye and the county constable about the situation. When the constable brought people to take a look, the water stains had long dried up, and there was nothing left on it. This matter left the county constable and the entire Cai Residence puzzled.
When the old butler Cai Zhang said this, the corners of my great-great-grandfather's mouth twitched. He seemed to want to say something, but after looking at my great-great-grandmother, he swallowed his words.
The old butler continued. A few days after this incident, something strange happened again. All the flowers and plants in the garden of the manor withered almost at the same time. The next day, all the fish in the fish pond turned white. After the fish died, it floated on the surface of the water with its belly facing up. It was white. Here, we call dead fish "turning white belly".
In the next few days, it became even worse, especially at night. Many people saw a blue figure running in front of them and a white figure chasing behind them. Wherever they ran, they would leave water marks. Sometimes, they could even hear the shrill cries of women and the fierce beating and cursing of men near the garden. Hearing these sounds in the middle of the night made people's hair stand on end.
At that time, there was a servant who was very bold. Usually, the people in the Cai residence called him a stupid bold man. One night, he followed the sound and looked for it. He didn't know if he found anything. The next day, when the people in the Cai residence found him, he was lying beside the well in the garden and fainted. There was a layer of white scab around his mouth, as if he had vomited white foam before. After he woke up, he was really stupid. Other than laughing foolishly, he only said some irrelevant things.
For a time, everyone in the Cai Residence began to panic. Rumors spread in all directions, filling the streets and alleys of the entire county. The commoners all said that the Cai Residence was filled with two ferocious beasts, blue and white. Something that was haunted and unclean.
At this time, not to mention the maids and old women in the Cai residence, even the few martial arts guards were afraid. They all suggested to Cai Wenye to leave the Cai residence, even if they didn't want a single cent of their salary. Martial masters were different from those maids and servants who were bought with money. They were all hired with money and had personal freedom.
Cai Wenye had no choice. In order to keep the few martial masters, he had to let his second son transfer a few capable constables from the county government to cooperate with the servants to guard the courtyard at night. Of course, those constables did not come for nothing. The Cai family had given them many benefits.
However, constables were also humans. Strictly speaking, in terms of ability and courage, they were even inferior to the martial masters of the Cai Residence. These constables did not manage to stay in the Cai Residence for three days. Their faces were pale with fear. They did not even want the money and fled back to the county office in fear.
Cai Wenye was suddenly at a loss. At this moment, something strange happened again!
One night, Cai Wenye had just fallen asleep when he felt someone pushing him. After a few shaves, Cai Wenye woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the maid Xiao Lan standing in front of the bed, covered in blood. Her clothes and hair were wet and bloody. It was as if she had been beaten up and then pressed into the water to soak for a while.
Cai Wenye was so scared that he almost fainted. He wanted to call for help, but he realized that he couldn't make a sound. Then, he realized that he couldn't even move his body. He could only stare at the bloody and wet Xiao Lan in front of the bed with a horrified expression.
At this moment, Xiao Lan spoke with a sobbing tone. She cried and said to Cai Wenye," Master, Master, save me, Master…" Xiao Lan only said this one sentence. Before she could say a second sentence, Cai Wenye heard the sound of the window being smashed from the outer room. It was like muffled thunder, very scary. Not only did it scare Cai Wenye, but Xiao Lan also screamed and disappeared in front of Cai Wenye.
Cai Wenye suddenly sat up on the bed and realized that the bedsheets and blankets were all wet. He was drenched in sweat. It was only then that he realized that what had just happened was a nightmare.
As a result, Cai Wenye was no longer in the mood to sleep. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face and sat on the bed, panting heavily. At this time, my great-grandmother's mother, Madam Li, was sleeping soundly beside him and did not notice Cai Wenye's abnormality at all.
Then, Cai Wenye lit the candle at the bedside. He looked at his wife through the candlelight and subconsciously turned his head to look at the place where Xiao Lan had stood in his dream. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the spot where Xiao Lan had stood in his dream. There was a small patch of water on the spot, and it reflected the candlelight. Seeing this, Cai Wenye's chin trembled, and he almost collapsed on the bed...
The next day, Cai Wenye told his family about his dream while having breakfast. At this time, the Cai residence was already in a state of gloom. Cai Wenye's dream paled in comparison to the strange things that had happened in the Cai residence these past few days.
At this time, my great-grandmother suggested to her father to ask my great-great-father to come over. Because from the strange things that had happened in the residence for the past half a month, it was indeed a fierce fight. However, my great-grandmother had never heard my great-great-father say that the fierce fight in the family could be so serious.
My great-great-grandmother is very familiar with my great-great-father's methods. If there's no trouble in the family, it's fine. If there's really trouble, my great-great-father will definitely have a way to get rid of these things.
Cai Wenye was basically at his wit's end at this time. He was just like my great-grandmother when she couldn't get married. He was anxious and worried. He could only temporarily put aside those things that he didn't know about.
After listening to my great-grandmother's suggestion, Cai Wenye originally planned to let the old butler Cai Zhang come alone to invite my great-great-grandfather, but…perhaps because my great-grandmother missed my great-great-grandfather, she insisted on coming. Cai Wenye could only nod and agree. Just like that, my great-great-grandmother and Cai Zhang brought two martial masters and two coachmen to the Three Kings Manor.
After listening to the old butler Cai Zhang, my great-great-grandfather took a deep breath. Then, he looked at my great-grandmother and then at Cai Zhang without saying a word. "From Cai Zhang's words, my great-great-grandfather deduced that those things in the Cai residence are causing too much trouble. They are much more powerful than those child ghosts from a few days ago. It can be said that the situation in the Cai residence has reached a point where we can't afford to delay. If we are late, there might be a life lost in the Cai residence. Not to mention others, my grandfather is still in the Cai residence. Because it was an urgent matter, my great-grandmother didn't bring my great-grandfather home this time.
At this time, it was already lunchtime. My great-great-grandfather didn't tell my great-grandmother and Cai Zhang about lunch. He got up from the chair and walked into the inner room to pack some things. Then, he took the gifts that he had prepared in the morning, the big carp from the Yellow River, the local specialties, and the carriage that he borrowed from the village. He urged my great-grandmother and Cai Zhang to rush to the Cai Mansion in Kaifeng.
The journey was silent. After two days and two nights of non-stop travel, the few of them finally arrived at the Cai Residence.
At this time, the sky was already dark. When Cai Wenye and his wife saw their daughter and son-in-law arrive, they hurriedly called for the servants to serve tea and cook.
After drinking tea and eating, it was almost the second watch. My great-great-grandmother led my great-grandfather back to Fragrance House to sleep. She hadn't slept well these days. Coupled with the rush from Kaifeng to Sanwang Manor, she was already tired. However, because of my great-great-grandfather's arrival, my great-grandmother is destined to be able to sleep soundly tonight. Not only my great-great-grandmother, but everyone in the Cai Residence has also calmed down a lot because of my great-great-grandfather's arrival.
