Chapter 301 A Complete Nightmare
Chapter 301 A Complete Nightmare
Once a person has a doubt in his mind, what he sees with his eyes, hears with his ears, and thinks in his heart will change along with that doubt.
People often feel anxious and at a loss because they cannot distinguish the truth from the false.
Bai Xun stood in front of the tomb without an inscription on it in the cemetery, and snowflakes fell on his shoulders.
It's so cold!
"Mother, are you cold here alone?"
"If someone thinks of her, her heart will definitely be warm."
An oil-paper umbrella shielded him from the wind and snow. Nanchun looked at him tenderly with a warm smile on her face.
Nanchun handed the umbrella to Baixun, opened the lunch box, and placed a plate of small dishes and snacks in front of the tomb. "How could you come empty-handed? I asked Ah Fu where you were going, and he said you wanted to walk around by yourself. So I guessed you must have come here."
After placing the offerings, he knelt in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times.
Bai Xun picked up a piece of steaming rice cake from the plate and handed it to Nanchun.
Nanchun took it in surprise, took a bite, and said, "I didn't steal it this time!"
Bai Xun smiled and said, "After the worship, we can eat now."
Nanchun broke off a piece and handed it to him: "Aniang's spirit in heaven will bless you."
Bai Xun took it and ate it with big mouthfuls.
"Come with me to find my memory. I'm afraid I'll slowly forget what my mother looks like."
"it is good."
After coming out of the cemetery, Bai Xun and Nan Chun went to the old house together. They did not go to the main courtyard or the old lady's courtyard. Instead, they went straight to an abandoned house in the corner of the old house.
The courtyard walls were mottled and overgrown with weeds. The gate was faded and dilapidated, with the shabby plaque above it reading "Plum Garden." A gentle touch of the rusted copper ring seemed to still bring back echoes of the past.
Nanchun hadn't expected such a dilapidated courtyard within the old house. The owner and the old lady had always been particular about the old house, repairing even the slightest fade in the pillars. How could they have allowed the house to become so dilapidated?
After entering the yard, the stone road was covered with weeds and fallen snow, looking particularly desolate.
Bai Xun hesitated in his steps, as if some terrible scene would be waiting for him if he went any further.
Nanchun noticed his strangeness and took his hand and asked, "There's not a single plum tree here, so why is it called the Plum Garden?"
"The Plum Garden used to be Jingyuan. My mother moved here to recuperate after she became seriously ill. My grandfather changed the Plum Garden into Jingyuan for me to live in, and this place became the Plum Garden." Bai Xun said.
Walking under the eaves, he saw rotten beams and rotten window lattices, and incomplete carved windows. Bai Xun stood at the door for a long time.
Nanchun looked through the torn window paper and saw that the furniture in the house was tilted to one side, covered with dust and with cobwebs hanging from it.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, why are you here?" Butler Bai ran over breathlessly.
Bai Xun turned around and looked at him gravely, and said in a deep voice: "I miss my mother. Can't we go to her old house and take a look?"
Butler Bai was slightly stunned. The second young master had never spoken to him like this before.
Although he was a servant, he had watched the eldest and second young masters grow up. The second young master had always been respectful and polite to him, and his attitude had never been as cold, distant, and even hostile as it was today.
"Okay, of course you can. But... this plum garden has been in disrepair for a long time, and the houses are already dilapidated. It has snowed for two days in a row, and there is a thick layer of snow on the roof. I'm afraid it will collapse at any time. It's really too dangerous. It's better for the Second Young Master and the Second Young Madam not to get close to it." Butler Bai explained.
Bai Xun didn't say anything, turned around and pushed open the door.
The horrific scene deep in my memory came flooding back.
A Niang's shrill screams seemed to be right next to my ears.
After the door was opened, the room was in a mess. A Niang was holding broken porcelain pieces in her hands, and blood was dripping, which was dazzling and horrifying.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was withered and thin, and there were festering wounds on her cheeks.
The housekeeper and two maids held her down tightly, while Yang Wude stood by with a syringe in his hand.
Bai Xun opened his eyes wide and wanted to shout but no sound came out.
He didn't understand why the beautiful and gentle A Niang had become so strange and terrifying.
Suddenly, A Niang looked at him, the anger in her eyes disappeared, and what remained was endless sadness.
"Why is the second young master here? Quick... take him away!" Butler Bai shouted with a frown.
Then a pair of large hands covered his eyes.
Seeing that Bai Xun was unstable, Nanchun hurriedly supported him.
"what happened?"
Bai Xun shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just have a headache."
"You must have caught a cold because of the wind when you went to the cemetery." Nanchun said worriedly.
"Second Young Master, go back and have a bowl of ginger soup first. Come back when the weather gets warmer. After the New Year, I will ask someone to come and repair this place." said Butler Bai.
After returning to the villa, Bai Xun didn't even have time to rest. While Nanchun was making ginger soup for him, he called Ah Fu into the house.
"Afu, go to the county town quickly and call Guan Fang and Sun Cheng over. You wait on the way out of the village and keep a close eye on the car coming out of the old house. You know the doctor Yang Wude from Yangcheng, you must catch him. Remember to avoid the eyes and ears of my grandfather!" Bai Xun instructed.
"Little one understands."
The main courtyard of the old house.
"Master, the second young master went straight to the plum garden when he arrived at the old house. I noticed that he looked a little strange, and the second young mistress said that he got caught in the wind in the cemetery. They must have gone to the cemetery first, and then came to the plum garden. Now they have returned to the villa."
After listening to Bai Shan's words, Bai Yishui put down the teacup.
Seeing that Bai Yishui was silent, Bai Shan continued, "The New Year is coming soon. The Second Young Master must be missing his wife. That's why..."
Bai Yishui frowned, feeling a little uneasy: "Since that woman died, Xun'er has never been to the Plum Garden."
"Maybe... maybe the second young master has grown up and has accepted the fact that his wife has passed away. That's why he went to the plum garden to take a look." Bai Shan said.
Bai Yishui was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is Yang Wude?"
"He's resting in the guest room in the front yard. After lunch, we'll prepare to send him back to Yangcheng." Baishan replied.
Bai Yishui thought about it and said, "No need to keep it."
Bai Shan was slightly stunned.
"Xun'er, I'm afraid he remembered that he had been to the Plum Garden when he was a child. He met Yang Wude at that time. If he found out something from him that he shouldn't say..." Bai Yishui frowned slightly.
"I understand." Bai Shan agreed and went to make arrangements.
Finished lunch at noon.
Baishan personally saw Yang Wude off to the car.
"It's almost New Year's Day, and I'm sorry to bother you with this trip. These are the special instructions from the head of the family."
Yang Wude took the heavy purse and smiled happily: "Master Bai, you are so polite."
"Let's set off quickly, there might be more snow later. Be safe and have a safe trip." Bai Shan said with a smile.
"Hey, goodbye!" Yang Wude waved at him.
The car slowly drove out of Baishan's sight.
"Goodbye means we'll never see each other again. Go away!"
