Chapter 13 second quarter

There was a man named Ji and Tosuke. He is a native of Mino, and works as a concierge at a mansion near Shijo Horikawa. When he was hired to go to Beijing, he came with his wife, Xi Nv. Ensuke usually works at the Shijo Horikawa mansion, but whenever he has the opportunity, he will return to his own house in Saikyo and live with Hoshio. The owner of the mansion is the lover of a high-ranking official named Takako. One day, the hostess Takako asked Tosuke to go out to do some errands, so Tosuke came to Otsu. Although there are three days for him to do things, the things the hostess ordered actually don't take that much time.

The next morning, Tosuke finished his work. I could have stayed in Otsu one more night and returned to the mansion on the third day.However, as long as he arrives in Beijing on the same day, Tosuke can go back to his home and rest next to Xi Nu for a day.Thinking of this, Tosuke decided to set off on his way home. When we came near the Kamogawa Bridge not far from Beijing, the sun had already set. After passing the Kamogawa Bridge at dusk, Tosuke heard someone calling him. "grown ups……" It was a woman's voice. Looking back, I saw a woman with a hood on her forehead standing at the head of the bridge.

It's strange, when I passed the bridge just now, I didn't see anyone, but there was a woman in front of me, presumably I was in a hurry and ignored the woman.Tosuke thought secretly. At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the surroundings are dim. "Is there something wrong?" Tosuke asked the woman. "Yes." The woman nodded and replied, "Your master, Miss Guizi, I had a shallow friendship in the past." What? Tosuke felt strange again. The woman said that she was an old acquaintance of the master Takako, which is not a problem.But, why did she know that she was a servant in Takako's mansion?

Tosuke asked the woman. The woman replied: "I have passed by the mansion several times, so I know the appearance of the adults." I see. "Two days ago, I happened to see my lord crossing this bridge and going eastward. At that time, I saw the lightness of the clothes on my lord's body. I guessed that I would be back in about two or three days, so I waited here..." It turned out to be such a thing. "Why wait for me to come back?" "Is such that……" Because the woman was wearing a gown on her forehead, Tosuke could not see all of her facial features.Only a white chin and bright red lips can be vaguely seen.

Bright red lips smile contentedly: "To be honest, I want to ask you to bring something to Miss Takako..." The woman let go of her grip on the gown, reached into her bosom, and took out a box wrapped in beautiful brocade that looked like a letter box. "The reason I'm waiting for your lord to return is to entrust you to pass this on to Miss Takako." "Why don't you send it yourself?" This woman seems to have been waiting here for two days, and in this case, these two days should be enough for her to go back and forth to Takako's mansion - Yuansuke thought secretly in his heart.

"Because of the unspeakable secret, I can't go to Miss Takako's mansion in person. Please do me this favor, sir." The woman forced the box into Yuan's assistant. Tosuke could not help but accept the box. "Then please take care of everything." The woman bowed deeply. "What's your name?" Tosuke asked. "Please forgive me for not being able to report it for the time being. When Miss Guizi opens the box, everything will be clear." The woman replied. Then he said something shocking. "At the moment, I can only tell you one thing, that is, before you hand over the box to Miss Takako, please don't open the box anyway. If you do, it will be harmful to you..."

Yuanzhu thought to himself: I don't know what will happen after accepting the box, so he planned to return the box to the woman. When he was about to refuse, the woman said before him: "Then, please take care of everything..." After finishing speaking, the woman saluted deeply, turned and left. Yuansuke had no choice but to continue to move forward, after taking two or three steps, he became concerned about the woman again, turned around and wanted to stop her and refuse her request, but the woman had disappeared. At this time, the evening was over, and the night was getting darker.

never mind. Tosuke gave up looking for the woman and walked forward holding the box. Fortunately, the nearly full moon was rising in the east, and under the light of the moon, Tosuke walked non-stop for a while, and finally returned to his home before midnight. Seeing Tosuke's return, his wife, Xi Nu, was overjoyed, then saw the box in her husband's hand, and asked: "Hey, what is that?" Tosuke hurriedly replied, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal, don't mind." After speaking, he put the box on the shelf in the tea room. However, Tosuke's wife was still thinking about the box after her husband was exhausted from the long journey and fell asleep.

She was always a jealous woman, and she thought that the box must be a gift that her husband bought for a certain woman during his travels. Wrapped in such beautiful silk, what kind of box is it? The more I think about it, the more strange I feel, the more angry I become, and the more I can't sleep. Xi Nu finally made up her mind, got up, lit the lamp and came to the tea room. She put the lamp on a shelf beside her, and reached out to remove the box. Uncovering the silk wrapping reveals a lacquer box inlaid with exquisite mother-of-pearl patterns. On a whim, Xi Nu opened the box——

rustle! Something squirmed in the box, and a strange black thing rushed out of the box. "oops!" Xi Nu couldn't help yelling, the sound reached Yuansuke's ears, and he also got up. When Yuansuke came to the tea room to have a look, he found that his wife's limbs were weak and she was sitting on the ground, trembling all over. "what happened?" Tosuke asked his wife, but his wife's mouth opened and closed like a carp, and she couldn't say anything, she just pointed to a spot on the floor. Yuansuke held up the lamp to illuminate the place his wife was pointing at, and was surprised to see a bright red blood stain on the ground that seemed to have crawled or dragged something.

Yuansuke walked out of the tea room following the bloodstains, came to the corridor, and found that the thing had got out of the gap in the wooden door. He didn't have the courage to continue the pursuit. Back in the tea room, Xi Nv was finally able to speak, she said to her husband: "The box... I opened the box, and a horrible thing jumped out of it..." "What jumped out?" "I don't know. I was so shocked that I didn't see clearly." Xi Nu said dying. Tosuke looked up at the shelf, the box with the lid off was still on the shelf.Tosuke reached out to take off the box and looked inside. After only one glance, he yelled "Wow!" and threw the box vigorously. When Tosuke held up the light and looked carefully again, he saw that there were two eyeballs gouged out together with the eyelids, and a penis with pubic hair gouged out inside.
