At this time, my great-great-grandfather realized that these two cold winds might have come from that well, so he wanted to go up and take a look. At this moment, a series of cries came from somewhere. It was a woman's cry. There were also some unclear words in the cry. It was very scary to hear it in the middle of the night.
My great-great-grandfather's heart tightened because he clearly heard those unclear words shouting," Son-in-law, I'm Xiaolan, save me…"
Hearing this voice, my great-great-grandfather felt a little uneasy. This was the first time he had heard the voice of a ghost in all his years of helping people exorcise ghosts. He hurriedly raised the lantern and shone it around. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
In fact, if a person lived in a fierce place for a long time, even if the person had strong Yang qi, it would be affected after a long time. For example, the martial masters in the Cai Residence had stronger Yang Qi than ordinary people. However, this could not withstand the long-term interference of Yin Qi. Over time, they would be affected.
My great-great-grandfather was able to hear Xiaolan's voice at this time because of this reason. Moreover, Xiaolan wasn't the only one in the garden. There was an even more powerful one, which will be mentioned later.
"This caused my great-great-grandfather to be more or less affected. Even if my great-great-grandfather had an item to ward off evil on him, he wouldn't be able to last long if he stayed here for too long.
After writing to this point, I thought of a possibility. This might be another reason why my family's grandparents and grandchildren couldn't see ghosts. It was because we usually stayed in those places for a short period of time. Before we were affected by them, we had already sent them away. Yes, this possibility is valid. I just realized this. I wonder if this is considered reviewing the past and learning new things.
Hearing Xiaolan's cries for help at this moment, my great-great-grandfather's heart also felt uneasy. After listening to the old butler Cai Zhang's description, my great-great-grandfather was sure that Xiaolan was already dead. However, what made my great-great-grandfather very accepting was that he could actually hear Xiaolan's ghost crying and crying for help. It could be said that this was the voice of a "ghost". This was the first time he had heard a voice since he helped exorcise evil spirits. Even his master, Wang Shoudao, had never told him that he could hear the voice of a ghost.
My great-great-father had originally wanted to go to the well to take a look, but when he heard Xiao Lan's voice, he immediately stopped and held his breath as he stood in place and listened carefully. He wanted to find the direction of the sound, but unfortunately, after listening for a while, he realized that Xiao Lan's voice was floating. It was sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes left, and sometimes right. It was as if the garden was filled with her voice, and it was as if Xiao Lan had been circling around my great-great-father. He could not determine her exact location at all.
At this moment, a man's angry voice was heard amidst Lan's cries.
The man's voice wasn't clear either. It was the same as Xiao Lan's voice, sometimes far and sometimes near. My great-great-grandfather could barely hear clearly that the man seemed to be calling Xiaolan a 'slut' and also saying something about wanting Xiaolan to pay with her life. After that, Xiao Lan stopped crying for help. Other than crying, she was screaming. Her voice was very miserable, as if she was being pulled by a man's hair and beaten up miserably.
At this moment, it was completely certain that the man who beat up Xiaolan was also a ghost. It was the white shadow that the people in the Cai Residence saw chasing after the blue shadow. The blue shadow was Xiaolan, so the white shadow must be this man. Moreover, my great-great-grandfather judged that the white shadow that beat up Xiaolan was very likely the disciple of the old chef of the Cai Residence, Zhang Jiang.
My great-great-grandfather said before that Xiaolan might have had feelings for this little chef, Zhang Jiang, when she was alive. After she died, she pulled Zhang Jiang along with her, wanting to be a pair of ghost lovers with him in the netherworld. But from the current situation, this Zhang Jiang was very likely unwilling to give up on her. Not only did he not get together with Xiaolan after his death, but he also turned into a malicious ghost to take revenge on Xiaolan's ghost. The two of them probably had something going on before they were alive. Otherwise, Xiaolan would not have dragged Zhang Jiang into being a ghost couple for no reason.
As for what kind of emotional entanglement Xiaolan and Zhang Jiang had when they were alive, my great-great-grandfather didn't dare to jump to conclusions at this time.
My great-great-grandmother has two maidservants, Xiao Lan and Xiao Xiang. My great-great-grandfather has a good impression of Xiao Lan. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also smart and understanding. She is like a sister to my great-great-grandmother and knows how to make my great-grandmother happy. She also has a good relationship with my great-great-grandfather. Originally, Cai Wenye wanted to bring Xiaolan along with my great-great-grandmother to the Three Kings Village as dowry, but my great-great-grandfather didn't let him. He felt that the servant girl was also a human and couldn't be used as a dowry.
Xiaolan is three years younger than my great-grandmother. When my great-great-grandfather and great-grandmother got married, Xiaolan was seventeen years old. In ancient times, a twenty-two-year-old girl was already considered an old lady.
When my great-great-grandfather heard that Xiao Lan's ghost might be beaten up by the little chef Zhang Jiang's ghost, his mood could be imagined. To put it bluntly, one had to look at the owner to beat a dog, not to mention the servant girl who was like a sister to my great-great-grandmother. No matter if she was a human or a ghost, my great-great-grandfather would not tolerate her being beaten up like this.
My great-great-grandfather took a deep breath and then shouted," Zhang Jiang, if you have something to say, say it properly. What's so great about beating people up!”As mentioned before, my great-great-grandfather's voice was loud and full of confidence. When he shouted, it was like a bolt of lightning striking out of thin air. According to my estimation, his voice will definitely wake up half of the people in the Cai residence. Of course, as for whether the people in the Cai residence will really be able to sleep tonight, I don't know.
Back to the main topic. Before my great-great-grandfather could finish shouting, the noisy cries, beatings, and curses in the courtyard suddenly stopped. It was as if someone had pressed a stop button and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Then, from the well not far away from my great-great-grandfather, two sounds of water falling into the water came. Then, the entire garden was completely silent. Only my great-great-grandfather's slightly angry breathing could be heard.
Logically speaking, if it was really Xiaolan who caused Zhang Jiang's death, it would not be too much for Zhang Jiang to seek revenge on her. After all, Xiaolan had caused her death. However, humans are selfish, especially when faced with the weak and the strong. People generally tend to lean towards the weak, especially people like my great-great-grandfather who are sincere, generous, and sentimental.
It is human nature to sympathize with the weak. Regardless of whether the weak were right or wrong before, whoever is the weak in front of us will receive widespread sympathy and pity.
After hearing the sound of falling water, my great-great-grandfather turned his head to look in the direction of the well. Then, he stuffed the night watch into his waist and carefully walked to the well with the lantern.
Just as my great-great-grandfather put the lantern down at the well and was about to poke his head out to take a look, he suddenly thought of the " stupid and bold person " that the old butler Cai Zhang had mentioned before. He quickly withdrew the lantern and gave up the idea of peeping into the well.
At this time, according to my great-great-grandfather's speculation, this foolish and daring Cai Fu was probably in the same situation as he was now. He must have heard the sound of falling water and walked to the well to take a look. It didn't matter if this foolish and bold person had taken a glance at it, or if he had been washed by the Yin Qi, or if there was really something terrifying in the well that he couldn't accept, he was so scared that he spat out white foam at the mouth and fainted. Even now, that idiot only knows how to laugh foolishly and talk nonsense. My great-great-grandfather is still thinking of showing him after the chaos in the Cai residence has subsided.
