Chapter 175: The Dead Gravedigger
Xiao Man took a look, changed the topic, and stretched his neck to lean over: "Yesterday, you met Duan Lengyan?"
Twilight nodded.
"Then did he mention to you about the matter behind the mountain?"
Twilight Snow blinked, "Well, there is." He said that he was too impulsive, and after returning to the house to calm down, he felt that he was a little too much. I thought about going to Brother Chuan the next day, but I didn't expect that he would apologize that night. However, he also said that he was a brother after all, and a few days ago, the words of the adopted son that the eldest brother said were very hurtful, and Xiao Chuan didn't know it, so Brother Chuan's words made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. β
Xiao Man pursed his lips: "I actually wanted to go to him afterwards." Thinking about it later, I still forget it. I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak, and I'll mess up again. Fortunately, in the end, this result is quite good, like I said, it is a bad thing to turn into a good thing. Heck, if it ends well, it's better than anything. β
Twilight Snow also sighed, "Yes! β
Xiao Man tilted his head sideways and looked at her: "How did I find out? You are talking about things in the past, but it is obvious that the past two days have not been as happy as before." Aren't you going to be careful?"
"Watch out?"
"It's just that I have something to keep in my heart, and I can't get over that hurdle. Anyway, the matter has been resolved, and you're preoccupied every day, aren't you asking for trouble?!"
Twilight Tianxue frowned: "I don't know why, I just always feel like something is on my mind." β
Xiao Man smiled: "I know!"
"You got it?"
"Yes, you see, you used to be alone, but now you have to worry about the affairs of two people alone, so that's it! So, falling in love is no different from finding a son, you have to worry about everything!
"I found that your analysis seems to be really relying on some spectrum!"
"What do you mean by being reliable? I'm telling the truth! I, I'm a bystander of your love, and I can see it better than you!" Saying that, Xiao Man stood up: "I'm going back, I'll come to you in a while." You also rest and rest. β
"Hmm. β
After Xiao Man left, Twilight Tianxue turned around: "Linglan, Miss Xiao Man will come in a while, you call me." With that, he turned and went to bed.
Linglan blinked: "Miss, are you going to take a nap?" She hurriedly stepped forward, and while helping Twilight Tianxue tidy up the quilt, she said with a smile: "Sleep! I was scared to death when I saw you like that last night!"
Twilight Tianxue smiled: "Don't be afraid now, because Xiao Man has already helped me analyze the reason." β
"Find out why?"
"Well, don't you think, she's right? I wonder why I can't be happy all of a sudden, and now I've found the reason. To put it bluntly, he is worried about General Duan, and he will consider the harm to him from his standpoint. Perhaps, in the eyes of others, everyone cares more about the result, but I am different, what I care about is whether General Duan will be injured, whether he will be sad, and whether he will be wronged alone among everyone. That's why I'm worried. β
Linglan nodded: "Hmm." Don't think about it. β
γPartial Roomγ
Lan Xiu, who is in the middle of the house, has been fidgeting since early in the morning, and this is restless, more waiting for good news.
In Lan Xiu's eyes, digging a dead man's grave is not a matter at all! As she said, if she didn't have a big belly, she wouldn't be able to get out of this Linghou Mansion, otherwise, she would be able to dig the grave in the grove herself, and she wouldn't have to spend money to hire others.
As a result, I waited all morning and didn't see the person who should have come to "report the good news".
The little girl was on the side, helping Lan Xiu make breakfast, while drying the fetal pills prescribed by Doctor Liu. Seeing that Lan Xiu always looked at the door from time to time, the little girl glanced back in the direction of the door. Turning his head again: "Young grandma, what are you looking for?"
"No, no. Lan Xiu said, lowered her head and picked up the spoon, scooped up some porridge from the bowl and drank it. Suddenly looked up at the little girl: "Do you remember, the person I asked you to find last time?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment: "I remember." What's wrong, young grandma?"
"You can go and help me see it later, and tell him to come to me quickly. β
"Oh, good. As soon as the little girl agreed, Lan Xiu's heart began to panic. She put down the bowl and put one hand on her chest: "You say, why is my heart beating so fast?"
"Young grandma, are you not feeling well? Why don't I help you call Doctor Liu?"
Lan Xiu waved her hand: "No, no, no." I know what's going on myself. Come on, don't wait a while, now you go. β
"Go now?"
"Yes, go now. β
"Oh. The little girl answered, turned around and walked out of the room.
Lan Xiu looked at the rice in front of her, but she didn't have an appetite, so she simply put down her chopsticks. Turned his head to look at the fetal pills beside him, and frowned: "Son! My mother is alive, it's all up to you to hang this breath for me! If it weren't for you in your mother's belly, your mother and I would have lost interest in life!"
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the bowl of fetal medicine on the table, looked at it and sighed: "This medicine soup is also for you, I can tell you, you have to remember what your mother has done for you? stinky boy!" he said, wrinkled his nose, and poured the half bowl of soup medicine into his stomach.
Then she stood up, and just wanted to go to the bed to lie down for a while, but before she could reach her position, the little girl ran back in a panic outside the door.
Lan Xiu turned his head: "Didn't I ask you to go to him?"
"Yes, yes, young grandma, young grandma!" the little girl's face turned pale: "Something happened to the young grandma!
Lan Xiu grabbed the little girl's hand: "You slow down, what's wrong?"
The little girl gasped heavily, swallowed her saliva, and was just about to speak, when Lan Xiu suddenly glanced at the open door: "You wait a while!"
So saying, he went to the door in three steps and two steps, closed the door, and hurried back to the little girl's side: "Hurry up, what's the matter?"
"That's it, just last time, the person you asked me to find last time, he, he, he, he's dead!" When the little girl said she was dead, her hand broke away from Lan Xiu's hand and gestured in the air, and her face was full of hideousness and panic!
She looked at Lan Xiu intently.
Lan Xiu's body shook: "Dead, where did you die, when did you die?"
"I, I had just walked out a short distance when I heard someone talking, and as soon as I heard it, I realized that what they said was actually the person you were looking for!
Lan Xiu sat down on the stool beside him all of a sudden, and his whole body seemed to be petrified. She muttered to herself, "Dead, dead in the woods?" Suddenly, she looked up, "Did any of them say how he died?"
The little girl gasped: "I heard, I heard that she was strangled to death!"
Lan Xiu frowned: "Strangled?"
"Yes. And he died next to a pile of dirt!"
"A pile of dirt?"
"It should be, it should be a grave without a point!"
Lan Xiu sat on the chair, she found that her legs were shaking uncontrollably, this kind of horror from the bottom of her heart was not controlled by human factors at all.
"Less, less grandma, then, what now?"
Lan Xiu blinked, and suddenly raised his head: "How do I know what to do?
Lan Xiu's words, although they sounded quite tough in terms of tone, did not have any confidence! That's right, she was deceiving herself!
She took a deep breath: "Quick, help me to the bed, I want to rest for a while." β
"Eh, eh!" the little girl's voice was also vibrato. In this interrupted journey from the table to the bed, Lan Xiu kept thinking about the scenes of death related to the Gao family! From Mr. Yin Yang to this time, was it a coincidence, twice, or not?
Could it be that the Gao family came to ask for his life? Could it be himself next?
The more Lan Xiu thought about it, the weaker her legs became, and when she was on the edge of the bed, she suddenly fell to the ground.
"Oh, young grandma, young grandma!" The little girl was anxious to help her up, and she kept chattering nervously: "Young grandma, look at where it hurts, I'll call you Doctor Liu!"
When I was trying to get up, there was a knock on the door behind me!
Lan Xiu was still lying on the ground, one hand supporting the ground, and when she heard the knock on the door, both of them froze in place and looked back at the door.
"Less, less grandma, who is it?
Lan Xiu didn't speak. She swallowed: "Don't, don't make a sound!"
The two of them didn't dare to breathe, but the knocking outside the door did not stop.
The little girl looked at it and lowered her head slightly: "Less, less grandma, yes, or I'll take a look!
"Don't go! Don't go!" As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Young grandmother, why are you closing the door in broad daylight? This side room is not ventilated in the first place, and it will be suffocated again! What can you do with the child? I'll bring you something." β
The little girl's mood relaxed a little: "It's okay, it's Linglan, I'll open the door." So saying, he got up.
Lan Xiu grabbed her arm: "Don't go, don't go! I don't want to see her!" But as a result, when the two of them were in a stalemate, Linglan shook the door and pushed it open by herself!
"What's going on?"
"Hurry up and Linglan help!"
"Why did you fall again?" Linglan said, trotting to the side of the bed in a few steps, standing on the other side of Lan Xiu, trying to help her up with the little girl.
Kelan Xiu's already nervous heart, because of Linglan's arrival, the sense of fear was magnified countless times!
When Linglan's hand was about to touch her arm, Lan Xiu squinted her eyes and whispered, "No, no, no, I will get up by myself! I can get up by myself! I don't need anyone's help!"
As he spoke, the hand that held the little girl on his body also shook it off.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Linglan's face, and then she comforted nervously: "Young grandma, let me help you! I didn't help you when I saw you fall, if I let our young lady know about it when I turn around, don't blame me for being ignorant?!"
Linglan said, and immediately put her hand on Lan Xiu's arm!
Lan Xiu was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her clothes were soaked in cold sweat!!
"Young grandma, your body is weak enough! Why are you soaking wet and shivering after you fall? Could it be that you are sick?"
Linglan looked at the little girl on the side. The little girl blinked and coughed lightly: "Our young grandmother, these two days have indeed been a little uncomfortable." β
