The Golden Age Chapter 490: Water well

The street where Wei Mansion was located was extremely deserted. When Qin Xiao rode Qiuniang to Dewei Mansion, the gate was closed.

Qiu Niang went to call and opened the door. The janitor in the house knew Qiuniang naturally and sighed: "Ms. Gu is here? Madam's situation is getting worse. It just happened that you are here, so hurry up and look at Madam."

Qin Xiao tied the horse and followed, Qiuniang said to the doorman according to Qin Xiao's instructions in advance: "This is an expert I'm looking for, who knows well in medicine, and see if he can help Sister Hui. "

Seeing that Qin Xiao was young, the janitor thought that it was useless to hire a lot of experienced doctors in the house. What can this young man do?

But he obviously believed in Qiuniang very much, and invited the two into the mansion.

"Master Wei is in the mansion?" Qiuniang asked.

The janitor shook his head and said: "Master has just left the house before, and we are the servants and dare not ask where we went."

Qiu Niang didn't ask too much. She was obviously very familiar with Weifu. She led Qin Xiao to the east courtyard. Qin Xiao followed behind. She only felt that Weifu was deserted and there was really a gloomy atmosphere.

"Lady Gu!" Suddenly a voice came.

Qin Xiao looked at the sound, and saw a half-hundred old man approaching here. Qiuniang saw the visitor and saluted: "Uncle Wei!" Introduced to Qin Xiao: "This is the steward of the Wei mansion." , Uncle Wei is Wei Sicheng’s clan uncle, and has been taking care of all things in the mansion."

Qin Xiao bowed his hand in salute, but the steward Wei asked in confusion: "This is?"

"Sister Hui is not in good health, I found a doctor." Qiuniang bit her scalp and said: "He has been taught medical skills by an expert, so I invite Sister Hui to take a look."

"Ms. Gu is interested." Steward Wei sighed: "It rained heavily the night before, and the lady was frightened again. From the night before until today, the rice has not been fed in, and she has not even drank a sip of water. Continue like this. It's really...!" With a sad expression, he shook his head with a wry smile.

Qiu Niang said in surprise: "I haven't entered the water for two days? How...how does this work?"

"It's really impossible." The steward guard said, "The master will take the rice water to feed it. Gu Niangzi, see if you can help your wife eat something, even if you drink a few sips of water, it will work, otherwise This body can't hold it."

"Okay, I'll feed Sister Hui." Qiuniang nodded immediately.

Qin Xiao asked suddenly: "Uncle Wei, you said that Madam was frightened the night before, did you...reappear again?"

Guardian Wei looked at Qiuniang with an inquiring look. Although she didn't speak, Qiuniang understood what he meant and clicked on her head slightly. Steward Wei sighed, "It's here again. It rained heavily the day before yesterday. The master was by his wife's side, and the wife suddenly screamed in the middle of the night, and kept shouting that Lian Cui came out again, but the master did not see it."

"In that case, only the wife can see Lian Cui's resentful spirit, and everyone else can't see it?" Qin Xiao asked.

The steward Wei thought for a while, and then said: "That's not what I said. No one of you has seen Lian Cui's resentful spirit, but.....Weird things often happen in the house recently, and a few people say I heard someone singing a song in the middle of the night, and the sound was like Liancui, and that song was also Liancui’s favorite humming song during his lifetime...!" After a pause, he continued: "The sound of singing. It rang from time to time, and there were also a few bold people in the house, leaning together and following the sound to find it, but when they got closer, the sound disappeared. In addition, there were people who saw ghosts drifting in mid-air in the middle of the night. I'm dressed in white, so weird.....!"

Qiu Niang also had a trace of fear in her eyebrows, but Qin Xiao frowned and didn't ask much.

Mrs. Wei lives in the eastern courtyard of the mansion, and is in charge of the health care

The family led the two to the east courtyard, and saw that the room was lit, bright as daylight, if it were normal, Qin Xiao, as a man, would of course not be able to enter his wife's boudoir, but this time he came here under the banner of seeing a doctor.

The housekeeper opened the door, several oil lamps were lit in the room, and even lanterns were hung in the corners.

A maid was waiting in the room, and when she saw someone coming in, she immediately greeted her and saluted Qiuniang: "Sister Gu."

Qiu Niang said to Qin Xiao: "This is Hanxiang serving by sister Hui."

Qin Xiao nodded to the maid Hanxiang, who naturally didn't know Qin Xiao, and was a little confused, but didn't dare to ask more.

"Hanxiang, you go to the kitchen to fetch the food." The steward Wei ordered.

Hanxiang stepped back immediately, but Qin Xiao followed Qiuniang around the screen and looked up at the past, only to see a woman curled up at the corner of the bed, her body wrapped in brocade, her hair a little messy, His face was white paper, without blood, and he was ashamed and thin.

The woman's eyes were dull, staring at an oil lamp in a daze, Qiuniang approached her, and the woman was unaware.

Qin Xiao saw in his eyes and knew that this woman should be sister Hui.

Ms. Wei's situation is more serious than Qin Xiao imagined.

"Sister Hui." Qiuniang's eyes were red, and she walked to the bed and stretched out her hand. Madam Wei didn't notice, she only waited until Qiuniang came to caress Madam Wei's hair with one hand, and Wei husband yelled in horror. With a cry, she drew back, Qiuniang hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me, sister Hui, I am Late Autumn, I am your sister Late Autumn."

Qin Xiao knows that Late Autumn is Qiuniang's name in the palace.

Ms. Wei heard the word "Late Autumn", stayed for a while, looked at Qiuniang, the color of horror on her face slowly faded, suddenly raised her hand, grabbed Qiuniang's hand, and said mournfully: "Late Autumn, save I, I...I'm going to die, I...I'm scared, she's been around here all the time, she...she wants to claim her life from me...!" The thin body is rustling trembling.

Qiu Niang's voice choked: "Don't be afraid, I am by your side, no one can hurt you with me."

"She wants her life...!" Madam Wei looked dull and murmured: "I can't help her, I can't help her...!"

"How do you diagnose and treat your lady like this?" The steward Wei sighed and looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao claims to be good at medical skills, but he is not aimless. He has learned some simple medical skills in the A character supervision, but he also knows that Madam Wei has become what she is now. Caused by mental fear.

But such mental illnesses are sometimes even more life-threatening than physical illnesses.

"Because Madam is frightened, it will inevitably lead to poor blood flow." Qin Xiao said: "Looking at Madam's face, I am afraid that the liver is damaged because of the fright."

The steward Wei nodded slightly and said: "The previous doctors also said the same, so the prescriptions are all medicines for nourishing qi and blood, and the wife has taken a lot of them, which is not very useful." He said peacefully. But there was something in the words, it was clear that the doctor before Qin Xiao saw all the problems, and there was nothing special about Qin Xiao.

"Madam is suffering from heart disease, and she still needs heart medicine." Qin Xiao said calmly.

The steward Wei asked immediately: "What is this heart medicine?"

"Uncle Wei, I heard that the maid named Lian Cui was cast and died?" Qin Xiao asked not to answer.

The steward Wei nodded, Qin Xiao thought for a moment, and then said: "Can you take me to that well?"

"Look at the well?

" Steward Wei frowned, "What does this have to do with the well? "

"I said, heart disease is treated with heart medicine." Qin Xiao said: "If you want to find the heart medicine, naturally you have to look for the cause of this matter." Seeing Qiuniang holding Mrs. Wei's hand, she whispered comfort. , Steward Xiang Wei winked, Steward Wei hesitated, and the two of them left the room and went to the outside corridor before Qin Xiao continued: "Madam was frightened all because of Lian Cui’s resentful spirit, and Lian Cui died by throwing into the well. , So that well is also the cause of the matter. If I can go and take a look, maybe I can figure out a way."

The steward Wei showed a suspicious look, he pondered, and suddenly asked: "I don't know which Xinglin master you followed to study medicine?"

"My master is Xianyun Yehe, his reputation is not very big, but his medical skills are not weak." Qin Xiao had long thought of a good remark, calmly and calmly: "Uncle Wei rest assured, I'm here this time, I really want to do it all. Mianli, no matter whether he can help his wife treat the disease, he will not take any money, and he is definitely not coming to bluff and cheat."

Qin Xiao said so bluntly, it made the steward Wei a little embarrassed, he smiled and said: "After the accident, the well was sealed. If you really want to see it, I will take you over."

Weifu has two wells, one is beside the kitchen and the other is behind the west yard.

"This well is used to wash clothes." When he came to the well behind the west yard, the guardian said: "There are two servants in the house to wash clothes for the old lady, so they use this well a lot. "

This is a very small courtyard behind the west yard. There is also a drying line for drying clothes. There is an old locust tree next to the well. In the dark, the courtyard is very deserted. The well has also been sealed with boulders. Wellhead.

"How far was Lian Cui's residence at the time from here?" Qin Xiao asked.

The steward Wei frowned, but still said: "Lian Cui is a maid serving his wife. She lives in the small courtyard behind the east courtyard, which is a little away from here."

"Where does she live, is it closer to the kitchen or here?"

"Naturally be closer to the kitchen." The steward said: "From the east courtyard to this side, you have to go through the atrium, but you can go back to the kitchen directly from her residence. Why, what's the matter? Question?"

"No." Qin Xiao smiled slightly and continued: "I heard that Liancui broke a vase and was said something by his wife, so he was so angry that he fell into the well and died?"

The steward Wei sighed and said: "The lady has a very good temperament, and she is always pleasant to the servants. Just because the vase is the lady's favorite object, it was broken by the lotus green, and the husband scolded a few words casually. , Who would have thought that Lian Cui would commit suicide because of this."

"How long has Liancui been in the house?"

"It was almost four years before she plunged into the well." The steward said: "In the beginning she entered the mansion only to do some chores, but she was quick and clever, and she was caught by his wife less than a year after entering the mansion. Transfer to your side to serve."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

"You said you are looking for a heart-seeking medicine, is there a way now?" Steward Wei asked, looking at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao looked at the well and sighed: "I thought I could find some medicine to relieve the lady, but there is nothing special here. For a while, I really have no good way."

The steward Wei seems to have known this result a long time ago, and said indifferently: "It's no fault of you. Lian Cui's resentful spirit is troubled by her, and the lady is entangled by her, and even the Taoist priests who have been invited before can do nothing. Ordinary doctors can't even think about it. What's a good way."

"Uncle Wei said that." Qin Xiao sighed: "The grievances are causing trouble, so we can only ask people to cast down demons and catch ghosts. Doctors like us are really helpless."
