Xu Meng dreamed and had a terrible dream.

That day in the alley, after Yoko-san said that he was going to break her leg, he passed out and disappeared with the skull.

When he woke up again, he had completely forgotten what had happened in the alley, as if he had never threatened her. That incident has no trace in Sangwa's life.

But the dream is different.

She began to have nightmares day and night, struggling to wake up in the middle of the night. In the dream, she returned to the previous world and became a puppet without legs, dressed in a phoenix crown and a cheek rouge, sitting quietly in a strange new house.

I can't speak, I can't move, I have no expression, I can only stare blankly at the door, through the gap, to get a glimpse of the spring and autumn of the outside world.

Only then will she remember that she is still alone.

At night, Yezi-sang would come to the new house, bring her the food, clothes, and notebooks she liked in the past, and talk to her about trivial things.

......

"Sister, do you remember our big wolf dog, called cow. ”

"Ah, it arched the flowers on the next street, and now the dog owner has come running over and making us lose money. ”

"I scolded it, and it hung its ears aggrievedly, splashed and rolled, and it was all spoiled by you. ”

......

"Sister, the lotus flower in the east of the city has bloomed today, pink and white, delicate and tight. ”

"Sister, do you want to take a look, or pick some flowers and leaves and come back to make tea?"

"Don't you often say that lotus tea has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin? This time, we will make more of it, so we won't have to run back and forth to the lotus pond. ”

......

"Sister, I'm eighteen years old, and in two years, I'll be an adult. ”

"I originally planned to marry my sister when I was twenty years old. ”

"It's a pity that time is too slow, and Sister Ah refuses to wait for me. ”

......

"Sister, Lu Sui was drunk today, and he said that he missed his husband very much. ”

"Actually, so am I, and I miss you too. ”

......

Day after day, year after year, Xu Meng listened like this, and he could even deduce what he might have done from the miscellaneous things and some details he said.

For example, he used the cow incident as an introduction to gradually establish his image as an honest and responsible good official, and the Son of Heaven paid more attention to him when he heard this anecdote.

For example, that day and night, in order to show her the beauty of the lotus blossom, Zisang painted herself, and let her see the blood stains left on his fingernails.

For example, on the day he was eighteen years old, guests came to his house to celebrate him, and while the servants were walking around, she heard someone say that on his birthday, he had ordered Chen Shangshu to be slaughtered in order to be in the upper ranks.

and he drank with Lu Sui, half-drunk and half-awake, revealing their idea of refining the formation with the life of a death row prisoner, but the power of the prison is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, so they want to rebel.

The last time Xu Meng saw him was on the eve of his and Lu Sui's forced palace. He said that when they seize the palace, they will have the greatest power in the world, and at that time, the world's strange formations and strange methods will be in their pockets.

"Sister, I will definitely resurrect you. Yezi-san leaned on the side of the bed and said to her, "If I can't resurrect you, I will go with you and follow you for the rest of my life." ”

"I've got to find you. ”

After that, she never saw him again.

I heard that on the first day they forced the palace, they tied up the most powerful Si Tianjian in the Zhen Dynasty.

After Lu Sui ascended the throne, Ye Zisang led a team of men and horses and hurried to the Ruthless Snow Mountain, and two months later, he brought back the secret treasure of the Night Clan.

The prisoners of the prison were all gathered in one place and bloodily tortured.

"Alas, the blood of hundreds of people filled the two lakes hollowed out by the Night Lord, and the fishy smell was overwhelming, and even the clouds in the sky were very black and heavy!"

No, it should be said that it was deliberately told to Xu Meng.

Since Xu Meng became a puppeteer, this little maid has often come to the door and inadvertently told some things about Yezisang, but she probably knows much more inside stories than the housekeepers in the house.

"Lord Night's actions have accumulated a lot of obstacles. She shook her head, her tone a little helpless, "What's going on?"

"No! I have to negotiate with him. The little maid straightened up and flicked the fan in her hand, "But before that, the person who caused trouble for me will have to suffer a little." ”

"Whew-" She blew a breath, threw the fire fold on the ground, waved her hand away, and said, "Bye-bye!"

The fire gradually rose, the temperature in the house slowly rose, and in the thick smoke, there were flames licking her wedding dress.

The hole was tense, and the body could not move. Xu Meng watched the tongue of fire crawl around her body little by little, her limbs were all burning, the crackling sound of burning wood, the choking smell of thick smoke, the high temperature when the fire was fierce, and the fear of being burned to death almost made her desperate.

"Pain-" In the Sword Fu Sect, the sleeping girl frowned and cried out in pain, "Don't burn me-"

"It hurts—woo-"

"Water—is there water—help me—my eyes—"

Mu Miao, who was in the next room, heard the movement and hurriedly came over to check the situation, "Master?"

She reached out and patted Xu Meng's back, her face full of anxiety, "Shiyu, are you having nightmares again?"

"Don't be afraid, it's good to wake up, it's just a dream. ”

"It hurts-" The skin burned hotly, forcing Xu Meng to scream one by one, "Help me-help me-cough-cough-"

The girl on the bed suddenly gasped, sweating profusely, and her face was full of pain, but even so, her eyes were still tightly closed, and she was trapped in a dream and could not escape.

"Senior sister?" Mu Miao was completely panicked, stretched out her hand and pushed Xu Meng a few more times, seeing that her limbs were stiff, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she called, so she hurriedly rushed out to find a doctor.

As soon as Mu Miao walked on her front feet, the girl's chest on the bed rose and fell violently, her throat was blocked, and she could only open her mouth and shout silently.

The night was dark, the trees in the courtyard were silently dropping their leaves, and after a while, the heavy breathing gradually subsided, and the stiff limbs slowly softened, and the sweat-soaked sheets were paralyzed like mud.

When Mu Miao came back with the doctor, Xu Meng had already fallen asleep, his little face flushed, but he was calm and serene.

"Senior sister?" Seeing this, Mu Miao tentatively pushed Xu Meng's arm, her fingertips burned, and she was startled, "Why is Shiyu's body so hot?!"

The palm of his hand touched Xu Meng's forehead, and Mu Miao was even more frightened, "Doctor, come and take a look!"

"Hey!" the old doctor stepped forward tremblingly, stretched out two fingers to probe the pulse, and was also frightened by the temperature on the girl's body, and his face changed, "This, is there anything uncomfortable about her today?"

"She's still alive and well during the day, and there's nothing special about her. ”

The gray brows frowned, the old doctor closed his eyes, sank down to probe her pulse, and the small light snake swam around Xu Meng's body twice, and finally returned to the fingertips of the old doctor.

"Strange. His beard trembled, and the old doctor wrinkled his bitter face, "There is nothing wrong with her, young master. Wiping the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, he muttered quietly, "Could it be that there is something wrong with my medical skills?"

Mu Miao didn't hear his muttering clearly, but just stepped forward and asked him, "Or is it the same as her nightmare, can't you find the reason?"

The doctor nodded silently.

She sighed, there was helplessness and distress in her eyes, speaking of which, the nightmare of the little junior sister had been haunting her for four years, and the master searched for famous doctors everywhere, and they all said that her body was healthy and there was nothing abnormal.

All the doctors said goodbye, saying that they could not do anything, and the little sister's illness became a well-known incurable disease.

"In this case, what harm will there be if the little junior sister's body is so hot?" Mu Miao frowned, took cold water and wiped the sweat beads on Xu Meng's face, "She just cried out in pain again and again." ”

I saw the old doctor look down for a moment, and then put his middle finger on the pulse to carefully examine it, and then hesitated and said, "It should be harmless." ”

"In addition to the young master's body temperature, his pulse is normal. ”

"Visiting with Yang Power, I didn't see anything special about the injury. ”

"That's it......" Mu Miao muttered, looking at Xu Meng with some unease: "Little junior sister, don't you really need to take medicine or anything?"

The girl's breathing was light and shallow, long and long, a picture of falling asleep peacefully, and there was no embarrassment and pain at all.

The old doctor shook his head in embarrassment, "The old decay really can't find the root cause. The voice paused, and he suddenly remembered something, "I heard that Xiao Yesang went to Penglai Mountain Pavilion to find that famous medical immortal to treat the young master?"

"Yes!" Mu Miao showed surprise on her face, "Senior Brother Ye also sent a message to Master a few days ago that he had been on his way back with the Medical Immortal, counting the days, these two days should be almost up." ”

"The afterlife is terrifying. The old doctor stroked his beard, and there was a look of appreciation in his tone, "The medical fairy never leaves the pavilion easily, and I don't know what method he has used to invite the medical fairy to come down the mountain." ”

"yes. Mu Miao smiled and agreed, "Senior Brother Ye has only been under the Fu Sect for four years, and now he can fight with Senior Brother Qingfu and still have a draw, which is also very tight." ”

"But......" She probed Xu Meng's forehead again, and saw that the temperature was gradually dropping, so she sneered, "He was very cowardly in front of the little junior sister, and even Sect Master Fu said that the apprentice he accepted had his elbow turned outward." ”

Then she sighed again, and a puzzled look rose between her eyebrows, "It's just that the little junior sister doesn't know why, but she has some rejection of him." ”

"I clearly remember that when Senior Brother Ye went up the mountain, the two of them were extremely close. ”

"It's weird, too. ”
