Chapter 157: Someone on the river bank, water ghost Lin Chuner
"Go and take a look, but don't alert the enemy. There is something in the water. I'll go and take a look." Yu Banxia instructed Liuli, and Liuli nodded.
She walked to the river and looked into the water. Apart from the ripples on the water caused by the cold wind, there was nothing special.
"Sir, please help me." Just as Yu Banxia was about to turn around, a woman's face appeared.
If Yu Banxia hadn't seen a lot of things, she would have been frightened to death when she saw this pale face of a beautiful woman.
What's this?
Water ghost?
Is this world a fantasy?
"Master, do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Xiaobai complained weakly.
Yu Banxia chuckled, yes, she owns the space and the spirit Xiaobai, and she has even been reborn now, isn’t that fantastic enough?
"No matter which world, there are warlocks and demons, they just differ in strength."
"This world is the same, except that you have been active in Yunshan Town and Anping Village, both of which are clean places."
After hearing what Xiaobai said, Yu Banxia pointed at the thing in the water and said, "What about this? I don't know how to exorcise ghosts!"
"Let's listen to her request. Helping her reincarnate will not only earn you merit, but may also bring you unexpected rewards." Xiaobai suggested.
"How can I help her?" Yu Banxia was speechless.
Xiao Bai told her to ask the water ghost about her unfulfilled wish, and Yu Banxia did so: "Do you have any request that you want me to help you with?"
"Sir, please help me. My name is Lin Chuner, and I am from Fenggu County..."
Yu Banxia learned about Lin Chuner's story from her narration.
She was also a poor person. When Lin Chun'er was sixteen years old, she fell in love with a scholar. Her family had two shops and was relatively wealthy.
When her family found out that she was in love with a poor scholar, they did not allow it, because the scholar had many brothers and sisters and could not provide him with a good study environment.
Lin Chuner's parents were afraid that she would suffer after marriage, and since they only had one daughter, they were reluctant to let her get married.
But since Lin Chun'er liked him, Lin's father and mother finally compromised.
She agreed to their marriage by letting the scholar marry into her family, but the scholar's family would never allow him to enjoy a good life, so they refused to allow it.
Seeing this, Lin's father and mother became even more angry and locked Lin Chun'er at home, not allowing her to see the scholar again.
They even started arranging a marriage for her, but Lin Chun'er was not willing to accept that. The scholar was handsome and good at talking, so she had already fallen in love with him.
She cried and begged her maid to tell the scholar to wait for her on the arch bridge at midnight. She was willing to elope with him and leave Fenggu County, and come back after she became pregnant. By then, her parents would have no choice but to agree.
The maid also tried to persuade her, but seeing that she was determined to do so, she had no choice but to help her deliver the message.
The scholar felt distressed when he learned that she was locked up at home because of her resistance, so he asked the maid to tell her that he would be waiting for her at the arch bridge at midnight.
Lin Chun'er was very happy to get the response. She took all her valuables with her and waited for the night to come.
The maid was also loyal. For her happiness, she secretly took the key for her, let her go, and even lay on the bed in place of Lin Chun'er to delay for her.
Lin Chun'er was very scared to go out alone at night, but she was more looking forward to her future happy life with the scholar.
But when she finally reached the arch bridge after stumbling and falling many times, she didn't see any human figure.
The sky was getting darker and darker. There were footsteps behind her. Lin Chun'er turned around happily and called her lover's name, but what greeted her was an iron hammer.
The person who came was not her lover at all. Her eyes were full of fear and reluctance. Then she was carried by the masked man and thrown into the moat.
Her bag fell onto the bridge. Lin Chun'er struggled and screamed as something grabbed her tightly.
After that she lost consciousness, and when she woke up again, she had become the new water ghost in the area.
"Hmph, I think the murderer is your heartless lover." Liuli returned to Yu Banxia at some point and said to Lin Chuner.
Lin Chuner growled unhappily, "No, no, Shaonan would never do this to me. The person who threw me into the river that day was not Shaonan either. Their heights were different. He was at least half a head shorter than Shaonan."
Xiao Bai said, "Master, please give her a hand. As a water ghost, she not only does not have any evil spirit, but also has a golden glow of merit, which shows that she has done a lot of good deeds."
"How can I help her? Help her find out the truth of what happened back then?" This was also the first time that Yu Banxia encountered such a thing.
Xiaobai told her the method, and then an emerald green bracelet appeared in her hand.
Yu Banxia squatted down and said to Lin Chuner, "Okay, I'll help you. You can stay in this bracelet for a while."
Xiaobai told her that this apple green jade bracelet is a magic weapon for storing souls, a soul-nourishing bracelet.
Lin Chun'er looked at the bracelet on the water. Just as she was about to ask how to get in, a suction force sucked her directly into the bracelet.
Yu Banxia also looked at the jade bracelet curiously, and then put it on her hand. It made a tinkling sound when it collided with the gold bracelet.
"Is that all?" Yu Banxia asked Xiaobai.
Xiaobai hummed, Yu Banxia stood up, stretched, and walked towards the Jufu Inn.
"What happened just now?" Yu Banxia asked Liuli.
Liuli replied that the person hiding opposite should be a young man, then she suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.
"I understand, young lady. You said that the young man was thinking of scaring Miss Yu, and then taking the opportunity to jump down to save her, so that they could have physical contact."
"Then Miss Yu is going to marry him. What a vicious mind he has. He wants to destroy a woman's reputation. And now it's winter. How can he be so cruel!"
After listening to Liuli's analysis, Yu Banxia also felt that she was right.
"Maybe it's just as you said. It's so cold, why is he hiding on the shore alone? I'm afraid he has bad intentions!" Yu Banxia nodded in agreement.
Liuli snorted disdainfully: "Why are all the men in Fenggu County so virtuous?"
"Miss, do you think Lin Chun'er was killed by her lover?" Liuli was more curious about Lin Chun'er now.
Yu Banxia shook her head, indicating that she didn't know and needed to ask more.
The master and servant quickly returned to Jufu Inn.
"Boss, I want to ask you something." Yu Banxia walked straight to the counter and smiled at the slightly plump shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper raised his head and bowed to Yu Banxia: "Young Master, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. As long as I know something, I will not hide it."
Yu Banxia didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Boss, your Jufu Inn has been open for many years, right? Do you know that there is a scholar named Shaonan in Fenggu County?"
"Fang Shaonan?" The shopkeeper was stunned, looked at Yu Banxia and directly said a name.
Liuli was very surprised. The girl was smart and actually asked the question.
