Chapter 124: The Black Crow is in the Eaves
The sound of logging came from the yard. Several servants took turns to set up the front, and the axes slammed on the trunks, bringing countless petals and branches down.
The falling petals made the fragrance even stronger, as if a wind covered by the fragrance of flowers was blowing in front of the courtyard.
Liu Shi secretly smelled the fragrance and felt it was too fragrant. His nose sneezed unconsciously. He said, "Save a few people to cut down trees, and the others come with me."
Flowers and trees are planted in front of the front yard. Entering the gate is a square room with roads on both sides leading to the back yard.
Liu Shi secretly threw a bunch of keys to a servant and said, "You go and open this pavilion to see if there are ghosts living inside."
The servant followed the key and was about to open the pavilion, but a rude speech from a crow came from above the eaves.
"Wow!"
"ah!"
"Wow!"
"ah!"
Several people took a few steps back and looked up to see more than a dozen crows yelling on the eaves, yelling, as if they were calling for bad luck and bad omen.
Crows represent bad luck, and everyone knows this. Now the crows are crying, which makes the servants feel a little hesitant.
"Young Master Liu, is this crow unknown?"
One of them said.
"I heard from the old man that if we were going to open a door and there were crows flying over the eaves, it means there were ghosts inside, and we told us not to touch the door."
Another person said it very well, as if he was afraid of the crow's cry.
Liu Shi smiled secretly, picked up a stone from his feet, and said, "I have heard that if you can kill the crows, you can drive away all your bad luck."
"Bang"
After the words were finished, the stone in Liu Shinan's hand had hit the tiles and made a sound.
"thump!"
"Wow!"
"thump!"
"ah!"
More than a dozen crows were frightened by the stones and their black wings spread out and soared, making unpleasant sounds while flying.
Liu Shian threw out a few stones in succession, frightening the crows away and flying out of the yard.
Liu Shi secretly watched the crows fly away, clapped his hands, and said, "There are no such things now, we can start. We are not tomb robbers, so don't be so divine. You all say what's there to be afraid of in the blue sky and the sun."
The servant holding the key listened to Liu Shian's words and walked directly to the pavilion and opened the door.
The moment the servant opened the door, he saw a shadow flashing by. The servant was also good at it and hurriedly shouted: "Who is it?"
He ran inside, but the shadow disappeared.
Liu Shi stood behind and saw the black shadow, but the black shadow disappeared immediately in an instant.
This is a welcome hall. Because there are often few people coming, the windows were originally closed, but now they are open and shaking.
Liu Shi secretly looked at the window in the east, and the light was shining outside, and said, "You two go outside to see if anyone?"
There were two servants who walked around the attic and found that there was no one.
Lu Bushan also said: "Boy Liu, he should have been alone just now, and then ran away."
Liu Shi looked inwardly at the hall where there were few spider webs, and someone probably lived in this place.
The servant who opened the door before also said, "Can it be a lonely ghost?"
Liu Shi shook his head secretly and said, "Impossible, how could a lonely ghost appear during the day? Maybe it is someone who has nowhere to go, or someone else."
Liu Shi thought of something inwardly, and the guess in his heart was even more profound.
Then several people looked at the pavilion. On the pavilion, some blood was found on the pavilion. The blood was not obvious, and it seemed that it had only been recently.
Nothing else was found, and Liu Shihan also asked someone to open the windows and the doors to let the pavilions be ventilated and breathable.
Then I took a rough look at the house in the front yard and found nothing. I just walked back.
There are several small springs in the backyard. The water in these small springs seems to emerge from the ground, causing the spring water to continue to bubble.
Liu Shi secretly felt that this small spring seemed to be a hot spring, because there was a lot of heat in the backyard, forming a little fog, just like a fairyland on earth.
Lu Bushan said, "This place looks good, with mountains, water and flowers, but it's too deep."
Liu Shi secretly refused to comment.
There are many plants in the backyard. At first glance, Liu Shian actually recognized only a few of them.
Several people just walked to a corridor and headed towards the backyard.
A servant suddenly ran away and started talking nonsense in the corridor, dancing.
Then the other five or six servants were in this state.
"So much money, a lot of money."
"No one can compete with me, it's all mine."
“I have a lot of food, roast duck beef braised fish.”
This sudden incident surprised Liu Shian. He reached out and patted a servant, but the servant looked at Liu Shian fiercely, and then said, "You want to steal my money?"
Liu Shi listened to the words secretly, shook his head quickly, and said, "Brother, are you okay?"
"Do you dare to rob?"
Liu Shi waved his hand secretly and said, "I dare not, brother, please continue."
Seeing the demons dancing in the corridor, I didn't know what happened at once.
Lu Bushan was fine on the side, and there was nothing wrong with Liu Shian and Lu Bushan. What's the reason? Let's not worry about it for now.
What’s important is that these six servants all entered hallucinations.
Liu Shi said secretly: "Lao Dao Lu, what's going on? I suspect they were poisoned and entered hallucinations."
Lu Bushan took out the silver needle from the medicine box and said, "It is indeed entering the environment. The plants here have hallucinogenic effects. Moreover, because the temperature rises, people inject many harmful odors. I can't find out which plant is there, so I'd better get these people out first."
Lu Bushan said: I'll go and apply a needle to make these people unconscious, and you carry them out of the backyard."
Liu Shi nodded secretly: "Okay."
At any time, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered it on his nose and mouth, so as not to inhale more odors and fall into a coma.
Suddenly, Lu Bushan applied a needle and stabbed the six servants who were all in hallucinations to their respective acupoints, causing them to temporarily unconscious.
Liu Shinan was not very tall and had no strength. It took him a long time to carry all six people to the front yard.
Lu Bushan also walked out and no longer stayed in the backyard.
Liu Shi looked at the unconscious people and finally realized that this ghost house was not a false statement, and there were indeed some difficult things in it.
Liu Shi said secretly: "Old Dao Lu, I understand that this is not a ghost house, but a house full of poisonous plants."
Lu Bushan also nodded, looked at the servants, and found that there was no other discomfort. He said, "Most of the plants in the backyard are hallucinating and coma herbs, and because the backyard seems to have sufficient fire, these plants grow well."
Lu Bushan continued: "These herbs are very rare, and their shapes, branches and leaves are not outstanding. Few people can see the reputation. I am also familiar with Baicao, so I know some of them."
"What do you do?"
Lu Bushan's last question made Liu Shi secretly fall into deep thought, which was a problem.
