Zhong Wenqing didn't say anything, just stared at the Taoist priest.
It is not uncommon for people to die in these small western-style buildings. After all, how could there not be deaths during war? And someone had indeed committed suicide by hanging in this building before.
After liberation, these small Western-style buildings were first requisitioned for office use. Many government agencies had their offices here. Later, they were distributed to the military and used as dormitories for officers and soldiers. It was not until more than ten years ago that they were allocated to some old leaders with outstanding contributions.
It has been moved so many times and the layout of the house has changed again and again, so the death of someone before is not a serious matter.
The Taoist pointed to the beam above the staircase on the second floor and said, "This is where the woman hanged herself. She was wearing a red dress when she died. She was so resentful that she has been trapped in this room and has never left."
"After that, because the house was full of people with abundant yang energy, she never had the chance to cause trouble."
Zhong Wenqing was surprised, but still had some doubts in his heart. After all, the stories in every small Western-style building were no secrets, and many people were telling them.
For example, the house where someone lives was once the house of the third concubine of a warlord, and another house where someone else lives was once the house of a big businessman.
Everyone knows what happened there through listening to legends.
Zhou Hongyun was so frightened that his scalp went numb. He used to go up and down the stairs here countless times every day, but now he suddenly didn't dare to look at the beams above his head.
The Taoist shook his head: "Let's go and see the patient."
Zhong Wenqing brought the Taoist priest into Sheng An Ning's bedroom. At this moment, Sheng An Ning was sitting quietly in bed, staring at the door with lifeless eyes. When she saw someone coming in, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange smile.
The Taoist priest held a tangled rattan stick in his arms, paced twice in front of Sheng An Ning, shook his head repeatedly, turned around and looked at Zhong Wenqing: "I can't treat this disease."
Zhong Wenqing's heart suddenly rose in his throat: "How come I can't see it?"
The Taoist priest squinted his eyes and calculated silently for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Wenqing, looking at them with sympathy: "The female ghost attached to your daughter-in-law has too much resentment. Even if her soul is scattered, she will not leave easily. If you want her to leave, the living will definitely suffer."
Zhong Wenqing suddenly understood and stared at the cane in the Taoist's arms: "Is it not possible to not use it?"
At this point, she still couldn't bear to leave.
I can’t bear to see Sheng An Ning suffer!
The Taoist sighed and said, "That's why I said I can't cure it! If you start, you can't stop. If you stop, the ghost's grievances will backfire on me. Not only will the patient not get better, but his condition will get worse in the future."
Xue Caifeng held Zhong Wenqing's hand, her voice a little nervous: "Sister-in-law, let's let the master take a look, we can just endure it outside. An Ning's pain will only last for a while, she will be fine in the future. Apart from anything else, you have to think about the three children. If An Ning is not well, the three children will not be well either."
Zhong Wenqing was conflicted. Looking at Sheng Anning, who had lost a lot of weight during this period, with no flesh on her face, her eyes looked particularly big, and with a sinister smile at the corners of her lips, she looked like a ghost crawling out of the ground.
Thinking of the three poor children, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's get started. Can we hurry up?"
Let Sheng An Ning get hurt less.
Zhou Hongyun couldn't bear it either: "Can you be a little gentler?"
How could Sheng An Ning, with her delicate skin and tender flesh, withstand the beating with a rattan stick?
The Taoist priest glanced at Zhou Hongyun and Zhong Wenqing, frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "If you don't believe it, then don't watch it. Otherwise, please leave."
Xue Caifeng quickly pulled Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun and said, "Sister-in-law, Sister Hongyun, let's go out. It will be better if we can't see. After what happened to An Ning, everything will be smooth sailing and safe in the future."
The Taoist priest suddenly called out to Zhong Wenqing: "Wait a moment, come and help me tie the person up. When she feels pain, the ghost in her body will attack back."
Zhong Wenqing hesitated for a moment, then went over to help Sheng Anning lie down, tied her hands and feet to the bedposts, and couldn't help crying while tying them: "Anning, don't blame me for being cruel, I'm doing this for your own good. Just bear with the pain, and you'll be fine after it's over."
Zhou Hongyun also went over to help hold Sheng Anning's arm, even though she didn't seem to be struggling at all at this moment.
After everything was tied up, Xue Caifeng dragged Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun out.
Zhong Wenqing turned around and saw the Taoist priest take out a rattan stick with thin and sharp thorns on it, then raised it high and swung it towards Sheng Anning's body.
I didn't dare to look anymore and quickly closed my eyes.
I felt someone push my body, and then someone rushed over, and then I heard a roar: "I don't dare you!"
Zhong Wenqing quickly opened his eyes and saw Zhou Chaoyang rushing over and pushing away the Taoist priest waving the rattan stick. The rattan stick missed and landed on the head of the bed, but the tail end of the rattan stick swept Sheng Anning's forearm, leaving a deep blood mark in an instant.
Zhou Chaoyang turned around angrily, grabbed the cane and whipped the Taoist priest with it, saying quickly and angrily: "You liar, I'm going to beat you to death today."
He was already angry, and attacked with great force and ferocity. The Taoist priest had no time to dodge when the cane came down, and the cane went straight across his face and landed on his shoulder.
The pain made him stagger and fall to the ground.
Without waiting for Zhong Wenqing and the others to react, Zhou Chaoyang slapped the Taoist priest hard on the face: "You old bastard, I think you are tired of living! I think there is a ghost in you, I will help you to exorcise it today."
As he spoke, he slapped the Taoist priest several times quickly and fiercely. Zhong Wenqing finally reacted and rushed over with Xue Caifeng, grabbing Zhou Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, let go, he is treating your sister-in-law."
Zhou Chaoyang got angry and pushed Xue Caifeng away, yelling at Zhong Wenqing: "Mom! How can you believe what they say? I've already told you, they are liars! They just want to beat my sister-in-law to death."
The Taoist priest was in pain and tried to stand up, covering his face. However, Zhou Chaoyang took the opportunity to kick him over. He turned around and glared at Zhong Wenqing with bloodshot eyes: "Mom, how can you be so stupid! Do you want my eldest brother to come back and never recognize you? Do you want to see our family break up?"
Zhong Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "No, I didn't, I just want your sister-in-law to get better."
Zhou Chaoyang was anxious: "Do you think it's possible? Do you think this will really work? If my eldest brother comes back and sees this scene, what will he think? He worked so hard and entrusted his wife and children to us, is this how we take care of them? Mom, we haven't warmed up my eldest brother's heart yet, are we going to push him out?"
Zhong Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and tried to explain in a panic, but when he turned around, he saw Zhou Shixun standing at the door...
