Chapter 882: Curse
On the night after Wen Yi went down the mountain, Zian's nightmare came again.
She saw that Murong Jie was in great pain, covered in blood, and kept calling her name.
After she woke up, she was in a trance, thinking of the scene in her dream, her heart ached like a knife.
She suddenly remembered the murder case she saw on a trip with Murong Jie. That case has not been solved yet, occasionally she can always think of it, like a spell, but whenever she is restless, she always thinks of this case.
As long as she thought of this case, she felt an indescribable panic in her heart, and her heart beat faster.
The oil lamp was lit in the house, the lampshade was dimly reflected, and the room was also dimly reflected.
This oil lamp was lit by Wu Yanzu before going to bed, in case she would fall in the latrine at night.
Zi'an got up with his clothes on, sat in front of the lamp, looked at the dim light, and calmed down a little.
She remembered that Lao Qi had analyzed the case for her, saying that the wife was killed instead of committing suicide, but every time she thought about it, she always felt that the wife died for her husband.
Thinking of dying for love, her heart throbbed, and she always had a strange idea that if Lao Qi died, she would die too.
"Master!" Wu Yanzu gently knocked on the door outside.
Zian was startled. In the silence of the deep mountain night, she was inexplicably terrified. A sudden knock on the door really scared her.
She opened the door and saw Wu Yanzu standing at the door wearing a cloak, she asked worriedly: "I heard you getting up, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
His room is right next to Zi An's room, and the sound insulation of the wooden room is not very good, so any movement from Zi An's side can be transmitted to his room.
"I'm fine, I had a nightmare." Zian stepped aside and let him in.
The wind outside the door was whistling, and the pitch-black mountain was full of monsters, which was very scary.
Zian hurriedly closed the door, and couldn't help shivering.
Seeing her acting strangely, Wu Yanzu asked, "What's wrong? What nightmare?"
Seeing that he couldn't sleep anyway, Zian chatted with Wu Yanzu, "I dreamed that Lao Qi had an accident. Tell me, what is the situation in Beijing now?"
Wu Yanzu said: "I don't know what's going on in Beijing, but don't worry too much, I don't think there is anything the prince can't handle."
Although Wu Yanzu was very afraid of Murong Jie, but he had a kind of obsessive belief in Murong Jie, and he always felt that there was nothing in the world that he could not handle well.
Hearing this, Zian laughed, "Are you so confident in him?"
"Of course." Wu Yanzu didn't say the reason, because, there is no reason, just so confident.
In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and listening to Wu Yanzu's tone of voice, Zian felt a little peace of mind.
"You have traveled far and wide and seen many things. Let me tell you about a case." Zian suddenly became interested in talking.
"The case?" Wu Yanzu is not interested in the case, he is only interested in medical skills and curing diseases, but if the master wants to talk about it, let's talk about it, "Okay, tell me."
Zi'an then told him about the bizarre case that he met with Murong Jie that day, and said: "The murderer has not been found so far. The woman was pregnant with Liujia and died like this beside her husband. Although it was later said that she did not commit suicide, the initial judgment at the scene of the crime remained in my heart. I stubbornly believed that she died for her husband. Even when I think about it now, I feel a strange feeling in my heart. obsession."
Wu Yanzu was startled, "I seem to have encountered what you said before."
"Have you ever encountered such a case?" Zi'an asked.
"It's not a case, it's a disease." Wu Yanzu restrained his expression, and said seriously: "This was the year I first practiced medicine, that is, the year before last. I was a wandering doctor, so I had no fixed place to live. I went to Baizhou, and there happened to be a poor family who wanted a doctor, so I went. The patient was a woman in her fifties. She had three sons, all married. The husband of the woman died early, and she fell ill that year. It was because when I went to the grave in Qingming, I saw a rabbit crashed to death on a stone. Beside that rabbit, a rabbit was shot and killed. At that time, she was frightened, and she was sick for more than a month when she returned. Whenever she saw the rabbit or some of the scenes she encountered on the day of going to the grave reappeared in her life, she would think of the rabbit's death in love again. Finally, she hanged herself and was rescued. She committed suicide, and her sons thought she was sick, so they called a doctor."
After Wu Yanzu finished speaking, he asked Zian, "Since you encountered that murder case, have you been worried all the time?"
"Yes, what happened that day, before and after, are all circling in my mind, not only the murder case, but even the scenery I saw in the mountains with Lao Qi, seeing the woodcutter, seeing the same place and similar The road will cause uneasiness in my heart."
She raised her head and looked at Wu Yanzu, "How did the patient end up? What disease did you diagnose her?"
Wu Yanzu was a little depressed, "She wasn't sick at all, so I casually prescribed some calming tea. Before I left Baizhou, I heard that this woman committed suicide after all, and died next to her husband's grave."
Zi'an's face suddenly turned pale, and the fear in his heart became more and more severe.
Ever since the murder case, she felt terrified every time she thought about it. She thought it was a psychological shadow. At that time, she also felt strange. After all, she was a person who came out of the hail of bullets. How could one case cause so many psychological shadows for herself? Thinking about it now, I'm afraid not.
Wu Yanzu said: "I also went to that woman's funeral. I heard from the Taoist priest who pretended to be a funeral that she was cursed to disturb her mind and make her commit suicide. The people in the neighborhood There are also discussions, saying that the person who cast the curse is her eldest daughter-in-law, because her eldest daughter-in-law has a bad relationship with her and is always noisy, and some people have seen her eldest daughter-in-law go to some charlatan. Of course, this I don't believe that statement."
Zi'an was a little confused. She couldn't say no to the strange things.
However, among the people she knew at that time, Shangqiu was the only one who would cast a spell on her.
It is not ruled out that Shangqiu will do this.
If this is really a kind of sorcery, and its purpose is to make her commit suicide, then there must be an inducement. Whenever she becomes disturbed, she will think of suicide. This is really dangerous, and she has no way to prevent it.
However, she thought, when the curse was cast, it probably wasn't aimed at her, but at Lao Qi, because as long as something happened to her, Lao Qi would be in a mess.
Before and after the murder, many things happened to her. If she committed suicide at that time, at least King Nanhuai would be the one who benefited.
Now that these layers of conspiracy were revealed, Zian didn't feel it was clear, but instead became more and more disheartened.
She had dealt with the depression of secret agents in modern times, and if it was a spell, it would be similar to depression, where one point of stimulation would lead to the impulsive blow.
