The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 150
Wei Xi turned around and saw that the two brothers, Wang Xian, were already asleep, and most of the servants sitting outside were yawning. He felt something was wrong. He had gone out to play until midnight before, but he had never been so sleepy.
He suddenly stood up, shook the Wang Xian brothers awake, and shouted, “Stand up and wake up!”
The servants were awakened by his shout and stood up one after another. Everyone felt something strange and subconsciously gathered together to protect the four young men. Wang Xian was still a little sleepy and didn’t know what was happening. Wei Xi twisted his arm hard, and then he woke up with a cry of pain.
“What! You pinched me…” Before he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, closed his mouth, and looked around vigilantly. The flames of the bonfire jumped, reflecting in the dense forest, and it seemed that countless shadows flashed by the corners of his eyes. At that moment, a faint laughter came.
The laughter sounded like a woman’s or a child’s. It should have been clear, but because of the woods, it became ethereal and hard to detect. In addition to the laughter, there were also many whispers, as if many people were talking quietly. However, if they listened carefully, they couldn’t hear what they were saying, nor could they tell where it was coming from. It just felt like it was coming from all directions.
Many servants secretly swallowed their saliva and held up torches, trying to drive away these things that could only be heard but not seen, but it was no use; these tiny sounds continued to be heard.
The faces of the young men, except Wei Xi, turned pale. If a tiger or a big bear came, they would not be afraid. They might even be excited to shoot it to death and drag it back. However, since it was an unknown entity, they could not help but feel afraid.
Wei Xi looked calm, but he was still a teenager after all, and he was also nervous inside. He began to regret not stopping them at the beginning. If he couldn’t stop them from doing it on their own, he could have told Sister Zhen and let her handle it. Why did he have to come with them?
As everyone looked around in fear, suddenly, the chattering and laughter stopped abruptly. That did not make everyone relax but made them even more nervous, and they looked at the dark bushes around them with heightened vigilance.
In the dead silence, a figure slowly walked out of the woods.
The figure was tall and thin, holding something in his hand. After recognizing who it was, the young men were stunned for a moment, and it was Wei Xi who spoke first in surprise, “Mr. Mei?”
As he spoke, he saw clearly what Mei Zhuyu was holding. The neck of that thing was broken, and blood dripped from the severed neck. The blood was dark and had a strong fishy smell. It looked like a monkey but had two long tails and pointed black claws on its limbs. Its face was unclear in the dark, but it vaguely resembled… a human?
What was it? Wei Xi realized that he had never seen such an animal before, so he took a step forward to see it more clearly.
Noticing his gaze, Mei Zhuyu threw the object in his hand face down into the bonfire and burned it, saying, “This is the mountain’s female owl. The laughter just now was made by it.”
“It’s getting late. Madam is still waiting for you at the farm. Let’s go back first.”
Perhaps because of the sight of Mei Zhuyu wiping the black blood from his hands, the four young men and their servants all followed him obediently. They walked out of a small forest and saw a dozen servants from Duke Yu’s Mansion waiting there. Wei Xi and the others finally felt relieved. They were still nervous, wondering if “Mr. Mei” was some kind of ghost.
It was strange to say; they had never been able to get out of the forest that trapped them before, but following Mei Zhuyu, they escaped in a short while. Not long after, they walked out of the woods and saw the starry sky outside.
“We got out!” The two brothers, Wang Xian and Wang Jian, were simple-minded and just focused on being happy. Xie Daopu looked at Mei Zhuyu in surprise, and then he, too, felt joy at having escaped. Only Wei Xi, thinking of the strange thing that had been thrown into the fire, had some guesses in his mind, and the way he looked at Mei Zhuyu became different.
The group returned safely, and as expected, Wu Zhen scolded them. Wei Xi later quietly asked Wu Zhen, “Sister Zhen, is my brother-in-law… a person from the secular world?”
Wu Zhen smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, “He used to be a Taoist priest.”
Wei Xi showed a clear expression and sighed, saying to Wu Zhen, “It turns out that my brother-in-law is such a powerful person. No wonder you chose him, Sister Zhen. It’s good. At least with my brother-in-law by your side, you don’t have to be afraid of those evil spirits.”
The young man who said that didn’t know that his Sister Zhen herself was in charge of countless so-called evil spirits and monsters.
He didn’t know what Wei Xi said to his friends, but Mei Zhuyu discovered the next day that those young people who had previously ignored him, either intentionally or unintentionally, began to look at him with a strange and respectful gaze.
Wu Zhen waved her hand in a good mood. “Ignore them. Wait until we bring them to the hunting area and let them go hunting by themselves; I will take you somewhere.”
Mei Zhuyu asked, “Where?”
Wu Zhen poked his waist with her whip and smiled, “Do you think I will tell you now?”
There was no need to guess to know that it wouldn’t happen. Mei Zhuyu shook his head helplessly.
Wu Zhen wanted to send her little followers away to have some time alone, but she didn’t expect that not long after they arrived at the hunting area they had marked out in previous years, they ran into another group of people.
At that moment, Mei Si was driving a deer with the help of two young men and several servants. He was about to draw his bow and shoot an arrow when he saw an arrow coming from a distance, piercing the deer’s neck.
Mei Si was immediately furious and shouted, “Can’t you see that there are people hunting here? Who is the bastard stealing other people’s prey?”
A young man riding a black horse walked out of the forest, accompanied by several young men that looked like nobles and many servants.
Wu Zhen also heard the noise and brought her men over, leading to a head-on confrontation between the two sides.
When he saw Wu Zhen, the man on the black horse who had robbed Mei Si’s prey smiled but spoke in a strange tone, “Isn’t this Miss Wu? I haven’t seen you for a long time. I heard that you got married. Why don’t you stay at home to take care of your husband?”
Wu Zhen raised her eyebrows, looked him up and down, and smiled as if she had seen an old friend she hadn’t seen in a long time. “So it’s Prince Jiaoshan. How come you came to Chang’an this year? I didn’t know that. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely visited you at your mansion to see if you could ride a horse and hunt. Have you recovered from your leg injury?”
Wu Zhen had a big smile on her face, and there was no anger in her tone. However, Prince Jiaoshan’s eyes almost spit fire, and he could hardly contain the urge to rush over and beat her to death.
