Chapter 441 Su Xiaoxiao sneaked into the house

"This..."

The old woman seemed a little embarrassed. When she saw Su Xiaoxiao's appearance, she did feel that she was quite pitiful.

Su Xiaoxiao continued: "Well, I am over sixty this year, have no children, and no wife. I make a living by collecting garbage in the city, and it is very precarious. I hope I can find a suitable job. If I keep doing it for a long time, people won’t accept me because I’m older, but I can do any job. Look at the income. Trash work, emptying chamber pots, dirty and tiring work, as long as I have food to eat and a fixed place to live, I don’t care about anything else. I wonder if my old sister can help me? "< br>
The old woman was also a sweetheart. When she heard what Su Xiaoxiao said, she immediately felt sympathy in her heart.

"Old sister, your accent sounds like you are not from Beijing?"

The old woman's surname was Wang, and everyone called her Mrs. Wang, she asked Su Xiaoxiao.

“Yeah, I’m not a local, I’m from Baihua Village!”

Speaking of Su Xiaoxiao’s accent, it really looks more and more like a local from Baihua Village. It’s also a kind of thing to do as the Romans do when you’re in town.

As a result, the old lady Wang said with surprise on her face: "I am also from Baihua Village. That is such a coincidence."

She came over and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand, shook it vigorously and said, "I felt it when I heard your accent just now. You must have come from there. In fact, I was quite puzzled before. There are very few people in the capital who can I met a sister from the capital, now I have met her.”

She seemed very excited, and now she seemed quite happy to see Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao did not expect to meet an old sister from Baihua Village by chance here, and she was quite happy. He said: "Then look, can you help me find a job in the house, as long as I can eat."

Wang Po felt compassionate, and she said to Su Xiaoxiao: " Okay, but there is a job now that I don’t know if you can do!”

“Well, tell me, we people from Baihua Village have endured hardships and can do any job. As long as you have enough to eat.”

"Just looking at the body. Our lady's body will be buried in three days. I wonder if you would like to?"

When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she was so happy. She was really worried that she couldn't look at the body and analyze the murder. According to the situation at the scene, this opportunity has arisen now. Just because she is a fellow villager of this Wang Po, this matter has become very easy, and she is quite happy.

Po Wang has been working in Prince Gong’s house for decades. When she speaks, her accent has changed a lot. Now it is more like the accent in the capital. But when she hears Su Xiaoxiao’s hometown dialect , she immediately felt very cordial.

Wang Po left her hometown of Baihua Village when she was almost a teenager and came to the capital to look for a job. So many years have passed. She still misses her hometown very much, and of course she will be very friendly to people from her hometown when she meets them.

Su Xiaoxiao got a job in this way. She came to Prince Gong’s residence and saw that the residence was really big and magnificently decorated. Although Prince Gong was not in the residence before, But recently, in order to comfort the injured princess, he has moved back to the house.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had to be careful and not encounter Prince Gong in the end. After all, Prince Gong recognized Su Xiaoxiao easily, and no one else had seen Su Xiaoxiao.

Vigil means staying in the same room with the corpse at night. Su Xiaoxiao saw that the mourning hall was set up in the front yard. In the center of the yard was a large black coffin with elegiac couplets hanging on both sides.

There are layers of white gauze hanging in front of the black coffin. Su Xiaoxiao does not need to go there. She just needs to sit on the futon in front of the coffin and watch the oil lamp in front of her stay on.

There are three oil lamps placed in front of the coffin, which are actually very particular. They represent the three lights on the person's head. As long as they are not extinguished, the body can be ensured to go on the road safely.

After Su Xiaoxiao received such a job, the other maids and wives said that their young lady died violently and was killed on their wedding night, so they must have a lot of resentment.

So when it comes to the mourning hall, they are all very worried. They are afraid that if they go to watch the mourning hall, what will happen if something happens? If this young lady’s soul is immortal, wouldn’t they be frightened to death if she comes out to cause trouble?

Everyone is very afraid. Regarding the matter of guarding the mourning hall, it is best if we can avoid it. If we cannot avoid it, it is really easy to get into trouble.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao appeared at this time. The housekeeper still trusted Mrs. Wang. Hearing that Su Xiaoxiao was from their hometown, he decided to see if Su Xiaoxiao could stay overnight and see if she could successfully complete the task. If so, we will talk about arranging other work for Su Xiaoxiao later.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately expressed her willingness to work hard and ensure that the housekeeper is satisfied.

Speaking of which, things happened several times when guarding the mourning hall.

It turned out that a maid said she saw the young lady’s soul coming out of the coffin, crying that she was wronged. It was not enough to scare others, so few people were willing to come out and take over the job.

Everyone was very scared. They always felt that the young lady had been wronged and she would never die in peace.

It’s really hard to talk about going out to cause trouble. But since that little maid kept vigil at night, she was frightened and sick by the young lady's soul. No one else dared to take the initiative to go to watch the night, but whoever was sent to her head was forced to deal with it. .

Many people are unable to keep an eye on the three oil lamps all night, and always make the oil lamps go out unconsciously, but no one can guarantee that the oil lamps will not go out all night long.

This is quite worrying. As for when the three oil lamps were extinguished?

Those who were keeping vigil said that it was hard to say. After all, when they were keeping vigil, they quickly lost consciousness and slowly fell asleep. Whether they were keeping vigil alone or with two people, in the end they all missed it. Fell asleep for no reason.

This situation is quite strange. In short, it seems that they can't say that they don't think the power of ghosts is at work. To put it simply, not everyone can explain this matter. .

But at that time, they still felt that the young lady died unjustly, and her soul must not be able to live in peace, so it would occasionally come out to cause mischief.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have done this job before and know this matter very well. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to handle this matter well."

Su Xiaoxiao patted her chest. Guarantee, she will ensure that the oil lamps will not be extinguished tonight. She said that she has not been afraid of ghosts since she was a child. People in this world are much scarier than ghosts. She is not afraid of ghosts and does not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts.
