Laoshan Taoist Chapter 22: Please enter the coffin, the master
half a month ago...
Qiu Tingsheng is two in his sixties this year.
When he was young, he repaired the national book in the cabinet. After he resigned from the old man, he was so kindly invited by his old friend to take over as the dean of Sheng Academy.
has been in this position for six or seven years. Although I look old, my body is much tougher than my peers.
Qiu Mansion was built in Shangyuan Street, Xicheng District. The family has been in business for several generations, with seven or eight brothers and sisters, and three of them inherited their ancestral properties, so the family is very rich and wealthy.
The entire base mansion is large in scale, with red walls and green tiles, cornices and arches, seven or eight built-in courtyards, rockery, ponds, flower gardens, and vegetable gardens.
In fact, he can be a rich child for a lifetime.
Because the emperor later came to the throne and carried out reforms, merchants could also be admitted to the official ranks. He didn't want to do business, so he simply took this opportunity to obtain fame and glory.
Nine years of Yuanshe, that is, eight years ago, the emperor died and the prince came to power, which is now the emperor. Since then, he has resigned from a group of colleagues and returned to his hometown to live a rich and rich family. life.
Sons and grandsons are full of the hall, Cheng Huan’s knees, and now Lin Lao has taken the post of the dean again. He has no regrets in his life.
Who would have thought that at this time, a sudden trouble came to him silently.
In the evening of this day, Qiu Tingsheng was invited by his friends to gather in the Yue Wing Building. After a moment of chatting among friends, he drank a few more glasses.
When went home, it was almost two more days.
with a bit of drunkenness, after the dean Qiu returned to the mansion, under the wait of the servant, he went to bed in a daze.
Because he is busy outside from time to time, sometimes he will come back very late, so he and his wife have always slept in separate rooms.
slept until the fourth watch, perhaps because of drinking too much, so urinary urgency was awakened.
Fortunately, I have a chamber pot in the room. Qiu Tingsheng got up from the couch, finished his trance, and poured two cups of tea from the table to sober up.
was about to return to the couch, but at this moment, there was a sound of drumming and gongs outside the door, accompanied by a soft crying.
Qiu Tingsheng was puzzled, and taking advantage of his alcohol strength, he came to the door and looked out through the cracks in the door.
In the courtyard outside the room, I saw a team of villains less than four feet in length, all tall, short, fat and thin, dressed in mourning clothes for the dead, playing mourning, carrying a black coffin, and walking in the courtyard. Go.
At first, Qiu Tingsheng thought he had drunk too much and had hallucinations, so he rubbed his hazy eyes and temples vigorously.
But when I looked again, the team of villains walked straight toward his room, and when the coffin was placed in front of the door, several people immediately knelt to the ground, bowed inwardly, and cried loudly at the same time. Come.
In this way, Qiu Tingsheng's anger rose for no apparent reason.
Who dared to be so rude, blatantly cursing himself to die, and didn't put him in the eyes at all, and he could stand it where he was right now.
opened the door of the room, furious, pointing at everyone and cursing!
"Who are you who broke into my mansion in the middle of the night and made such an unreasonable act. I am not afraid that the old man will send you to the mansion, and Jier will wait for a crime of trespassing into the house?"
After a rebuke, Qiu Tingsheng thought that these people would be somewhat afraid, and even if they did not apologize, they should retreat.
is not the case. What he didn't expect was that this team of villains seemed to have not heard them. Not only did they not restrain themselves at all, but the few who were crying became more violent.
"It's really unreasonable! Come here, come here, butler..."
Qiu Tingsheng was provoked into anger, and shouted towards the outside of the courtyard. However, no matter how he shouted, there was no movement in the huge Fuzhong.
The night wind hit, and the weather was not cold, but now Qiu Tingsheng couldn't help but shudder two times, and only felt a chill in his body.
The scene in front of him was maddening. Since no one can hear him here, he simply left the room and prepared to find someone to solve it.
"Please enter the coffin, Lord!"
"Please enter the coffin, Lord!"
It's a pity that he hasn't stepped out of the courtyard. At this moment, the first two little people with crying sticks suddenly came up quickly, jumped and jumped around him, and shouted loudly.
didn't give him the slightest chance to react, the two cried out and hit Qiu Tingsheng's body. In an instant, he only felt as if his whole body had been electrocuted, and he had no strength on the spot, and he collapsed directly.
This stick doesn't hurt even when it hits the body, but for some reason, it seems to have a powerful magical power, and it's hard to compete with it.
The four villains who were carrying the coffin before, Wen Ling immediately stepped forward and easily lifted him above their heads, then threw him into the coffin and sealed the coffin lid at the same time.
Qiu Tingsheng was weak and weak, but his consciousness was so clear that he could be sealed in a coffin by these people, and he was anxious and afraid in his heart.
"What are you doing? Let the old man go out soon! Otherwise, the old man will have to send you off to the officials and deal with it strictly! Let the old man go out soon..."
Qiu Tingsheng yelled in the coffin, but there was no response outside.
At this moment, he is completely sleepy, and the alcohol has evaporated into cold sweat. He just feels that someone lifts him up, and then moves towards a certain place.
"Come here! Come! Bold fanatics, lawless, how dare you treat the old man like this, you...Where are you going to send the old man?"
Qiu Tingsheng suffered from being unable to move, even struggling to do it.
He can't imagine what will happen next!
Let me talk about it again~IndoMTL.com~ I have no grievances with this group of people in the past, and I have no grudges recently, and I don’t even know them. Why do they treat themselves like this?
Qiu Tingsheng yelled for help while yelling at the people outside. Perhaps it was because of the lack of air in the coffin. Gradually, he felt a little short of breath, his chest became panicked, and finally his consciousness became blurred.
Unknowingly, Qiu Tingsheng fainted in the coffin.
……
"Master! Master! Wake up! Don't scare your concubine!"
"Father! What's wrong with you, dad? Daddy, wake up soon!"
"Doctor, didn't you say that my master is fine, why haven't you woken up yet?"
Vaguely, Qiu Tingsheng heard several familiar voices.
Is still alive?
slowly opened his eyes, the first thing that caught the eye was his wife, followed by the eldest son, second daughter, and the servants of the housekeeper.
"Master is awake! Bodhisattva bless you, I really scared my concubine!"
An old woman who is similar to Qiu Tingsheng's age, crying with tears on her face.
"Madam, don't cry, the old man is okay!"
Qiu Tingsheng gave a comforting sentence, and then looked around.
At this time, he was lying on the bed in his room, his whole body aches and pains all over, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.
I recalled what happened last night in my mind, I just felt very weird.
What's the situation?
Is it possible that what happened last night was really just a dream?
If it were a dream, it would be too real.
was dazzled by anger at the time, coupled with the upsurge of alcohol, he didn't pay too much attention.
I think about it carefully now, and I can't help but feel terrified for a while, and I have a lingering fear.
