Chapter 2 Little Peach
In the dead of night, the bright moon hung high, and the entire Liu Mansion was as silent as death.
In a firewood room in the corner of the courtyard of Liu's Mansion, Zeng Jing, who was sleepy, suddenly felt a chill attack, even if he was in a dream, he subconsciously shrank his body and wrapped the quilt corners.
At this moment, a woman's sobs reached his ears without warning.
Suddenly, he woke up from his dream, sat up suddenly, and looked around with a cloudy face.
In the vast darkness of the night, there was nothing but the moonlight shining in from the stars outside the window.
He let out a long breath, laughed at himself, and just as he was about to lie down to sleep, a woman's sobbing sound sounded in his ears again, without warning.
In an instant, Zeng Jing's hairs stood on end, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead, if he suspected that it was his own delusion just now, then at this moment he heard it very really, and the voice really seemed to be in his ears.
Zeng Jing didn't hesitate anymore, rolled off the bed directly, turned over and jumped up, and picked up a sickle placed behind the door.
Tremblingly looked around all the corners of the house, and said with a fierce expression: "Where is the demon, although I Zeng Jing is a slave of others, I have never done anything against my conscience, why did the demon harm me?"
As Zeng Jing's words fell, a yin wind blew out of thin air in the firewood room, and then everything returned to normal, and the woman's sobbing sound never sounded again.
Zeng Jing trembled slightly, his original sleepiness was swept away, and he stood until dawn with apprehension.
Early in the morning, Zeng Jing was impatient to find his little peach sister.
I want to tell her what happened last night, and let her help her analyze what happened.
Otherwise, he really couldn't rest assured, for fear that something strange would happen tonight.
But who would have thought that even if he ran all over Liu's mansion, he never found his little peach sister.
asked other handymen, and they all said that Xiao Tao had disappeared since last night.
Zeng Jing was flustered for no reason, so he had to have the courage to go to Steward Tian, who had always been very strict with his subordinates, to ask about Xiao Tao's whereabouts.
But he didn't want to even find Steward Tian, which made Zeng Jing feel even more ominous in his heart.
I didn't care about breakfast, and I asked many miscellaneous servants in a row, and it was only when I learned from a nurse of Liu's Mansion that Steward Tian had left the house as early as last night and had not returned.
Zeng Jing stayed up all day in despair, and he didn't know what he had done that day, he just worked according to instinct, as if he was a soulless person.
There was hardly a drop of rice all day long, and although the other handymen looked at these things, not even one of them would care about him.
As a miscellaneous servant of the Liu Mansion, there is endless work to do all day long, and everyone is tired half to death at the end of the day, how can they still be interested in caring about the life and death of others.
Tonight's Liu Mansion Mansion, it was Zeng Jing's turn to be in charge of patrolling the night, he wanted to refuse, but now his mind is full of Xiao Tao's whereabouts, and he can't even take care of eating, how can he still have the heart to patrol the night.
As a result, as soon as he said his refusal, he was reprimanded by a steward surnamed Wang of the Liu Mansion: "Bastard thing, what do you think you are, Lao Tzu still has no time to take care of him, you want to be lazy, there is no door, get out of here." ”
..................
In the middle of the night, Zeng Jing carried a lantern and wandered around the courtyards of Liu's mansion.
When he walked to the depths of the backyard of Liu's mansion, he suddenly heard a woman's cry from the ground in the darkness in front of him, and for a moment Zeng Jing almost exclaimed, and sat directly on the ground, and the lantern in his hand also fell to the ground.
Zeng Jing grew up in Liu's Mansion since he was a child, and of course he knew that this backyard located in the deepest part of Liu's Mansion was not Liu's inner house, but an empty courtyard that had long been abandoned.
Before he could get up from the ground, by the faint moonlight, he saw a faint female phantom gradually appear in the darkness in front of him.
This phantom Zeng Jing was too familiar, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Xiao Tao, is it you?"
The phantom flickered for a while, and it was about to fly away completely, Zeng Jing didn't know where he got the strength, so he jumped up and rushed straight towards the phantom.
rushed straight to the phantom, and Zeng Jing could see it completely that the phantom fruit was really the little peach sister he had been thinking about for a long time.
It's a pity that Xiao Tao's eyes are prominent at this moment, her face is blue, and she is really indescribably hideous and terrifying, and for a while, Zeng Jing was really like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she was completely stunned on the spot.
At this moment, Zeng Jing only felt a yin wind coming towards him, and then his legs and feet did not obey the call, and went directly to the dry well two feet away with Xiao Tao's phantom.
Zeng Jing was startled at first, then relieved, subconsciously closed his eyes, and said in his heart: "Let's go, it's okay like this, let's let you and I be a team of underworld couples!"
Zeng Jing thought of this, only to feel that his feet were empty, and the whole person fell directly into the dry well.
With a muffled sound, Zeng Jing subconsciously screamed in pain, and then couldn't help but be stunned, only to feel that there was a soft piece under him, and his entire body had no pain.
He hurriedly turned over and sat up, wanting to see the situation in the well, how could the dry well be about a foot deep, and it happened to be backlit, and he could barely see on the well, but under this well, he really couldn't see his fingers.
Zeng Jing's heart moved, and he hurriedly called Xiao Tao's ghost, at this moment, how could he not know that Xiao Tao was dead, if it weren't for the strangeness everywhere in front of him, he really wanted to cry out loud.
No matter how he called, he never got a response from Xiao Tao, and in an instant, there seemed to be lightning and thunder in his head, his face turned pale, and he murmured: "Sister Xiao Tao, are you already gone!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back the grief in his heart anymore, and the hot tears came out of his eyes directly, and he couldn't cry and said, "Sister Peach, I'm ...... I must ...... for you I must avenge you!"
At this moment, only the sound of footsteps came from the well, and the red-robed old Taoist priest and Liu Kunlun walked side by side to the dry well and stopped.
I only heard the red-robed old Taoist priest wondered: "There seems to be a sobbing sound of a living person just now, did you send someone to check it out before you start casting spells?"
Zeng Jing in the well covered his mouth and nose vigorously, and his body did not dare to move, for fear of making even the slightest sound.
Liu Kunlun didn't think about it, and said: "Dao Chief, I heard it wrong, it's so late, who would run here with nothing to do, and hide under this gloomy dry well." Please ask the Taoist to cast a spell quickly, and completely solve the ghosts in this dry well, recently the old man has always felt nightmares and worries. ”
The red-robed old Taoist smiled indifferently and said: "Ugly said in front, the 100,000 taels of silver promised to the poor Dao outside the staff are just the reward for refining the partial wealth, as for solving the many wrongs in this well, please don't be stingy." ”
