Chapter 18: Twilight Snow

Lan Xiu, who was taken to the side room, quickly recovered from the war that struggled at the "Ghost Gate" pass.
This woman is also said to have a big heart. After seeing that the servants outside had gone away, he secretly took out the talisman given by Mr. Yin and Yang from his bosom.
It's just that after tossing and turning, I actually forgot how to get it at the time.
Lan Xiu patted his brain: "This stupid brain! Such a big thing, I actually forgot about it." She sat on the edge of the bed with her eyes wide open, and couldn't come up with anything to think about.
Later, he was simply annoyed: "Come on, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!" As he spoke, he looked around at the objects in the side room, and there seemed to be no one who could burn the talisman, so he tore it up with his hands, took a few pieces of paper and threw them into the tea bowl, closed his eyes, and drank it.
Lan Xiu touched her stomach with her hand and bit her lower lip: "Ben Xunsi came back and picked up the clothes and left, who would have thought... Hey, it was better to listen to Xiao Wuzi at that time, and go directly to the woods with things, how could there be such a terrifying thing! Child, you can fight for me! It must be a boy! It's better to look like that sick seedling again, so that your mother and my life will be saved!"
For two days in a row, the food and drink in the waiting house were taken care of, which made Lan Xiu also feel relieved. In addition, there were no "unjust soul creditors" who came to the door to beg for their lives for two nights, so this woman simply raised the fetus with peace of mind.
In Lan Xiu's opinion, she was pregnant, and even the owner of the Hou Mansion couldn't touch herself. Yes, in the past few years since she married Xiao Jiang, she understands Ling Hougu's temperament. Even though this man is brave on the battlefield and scheming, he still has a certain amount of sympathy for women and children.
She dared to spend money to find someone to bury her alive in her place, and it was precisely for this reason.
It's just that two days later, one of his male servants bought off the doorman at the door and entered the side room. This move startled Lan Xiu, who was about to go to bed at the time.
"What are you doing?!I'm scared to death!What are you doing here?" Lan Xiu sat on the edge of the bed with her shirt tugging.
"Madame, something is wrong!" said the servant's voice, which was soft and trembling.
Lan Xiu's willow leaves raised her eyebrows: "Something's wrong?" This damn thing is dead, what else can happen? Don't make a fuss, say something quickly." β
The servant tiptoed close to Lan Xiu: "Husband, madam." After speaking, he swallowed his saliva.
"That, that, that Mr. Yin and Yang, found out this morning, dead!"
Lan Xiu was shocked: "Dead?" However, he comforted himself again: "Death is death! There are so many people who have died in this world, what does it have to do with me if he dies?"
After speaking, his eyes widened, and he rolled the servant's eyes.
"No, no, ma'am! yes, it's the place where he died! He, he died by the pit where the Gao clan was buried!" said the servant, feeling like he was about to cry!
Hearing this, Lan Xiu was not calm.
"Gao, Gao?" he said, touching his stomach with his hand: "Could it be, could it be that the soul seeker, Suo He has gone?" Quick, look at me, am I still human?"
As she spoke, Lan Xiu leaned her face closer to the manservant behind her and pinched her face with her hand.
The servant beside him took a look: "Hey, grandma, you are alive! It's just that this Mr. Yin and Yang died in this place, he, he..."
Lan Xiu's expression instantly froze, and the feeling of joy that Ling Hougu didn't kill her in time had disappeared without a trace.
The servant trembled on the side, crying and mourning: "Madam, you say, what can I do about this? I, I helped fill in the soil that day, can you find me?"
"Shut up, I'm still alive, and I can't take your turn! Oh, don't stand here and scare yourself. Maybe it was an accident?" Lan Xiu got out of bed and suddenly asked, "Are you all ready for the people outside the door?"
"Well, well, it took money. β
"Get out of here! I can tell you, no one has mentioned the matter of burying people in the last two days. Don't pick things up for me anymore. Also, don't scare yourself every day. In this city, Mr. Yin and Yang is not the only one. Find one tomorrow, write two talismans, won't it be over!" Lan Xiu said very easily, but in fact, her own heart was also panicked and uneasy.
The servant beside him had no intention of leaving.
Lan Xiu turned around: "What are you doing here? Let's go?! Don't forget, find a fortune teller!"
After the servant left, the more Lan Xiu thought about it, the more scared she became.
She suddenly pounced~ and knelt on the ground, clasping her hands together: "Oh my God! Besides, I also live a miserable life! I married Xiao Jiang at a young age. I, I also missed, but it's a relief that he died! Also, there is that Gao Shi, whose fate is not good, I let her go to reincarnation! I can also be regarded as helping them! Okay, okay, don't scare me, don't scare me!"
Lan Xiu knelt on the ground and chattered for a long time.
After finishing speaking, he secretly raised his eyelids to look around, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he simply stood up, still comforting himself: "Hey, it's just a coincidence." β
The next day, this made the waiting house lively. Why? The twilight snow has arrived.
From afar, Xiao Chuan and Xiao Song looked at the cars and horses on the road, looking long-awaited. It made Xiao Man impatient!
"Hey! I said you two, you two are here in the twilight, are you playing with me? Look at you two like that! Just look here, how can you look at home! Don't say stammering with me, hum! If you want me to say something nice on the side, then..." Xiao Man's neck was about to rise to the sky, but as a result, he talked for a long time, but the two guys in front of him didn't react at all.
"Eh, get up, get up, get up! You two stand in front of this mansion with a fork, who would dare to come in! really!" Xiao Man rolled his eyes, tugged Xiao Chuan's armor with his hand, and squeezed to the front.
A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached in the distance.
The carriage was not overly ornately ornamented, and was very unremarkable. Compared with this ordinary, the twilight snow sitting in the car is like a touch of sunshine and red stamen in that winter, adding a ray of beauty to this reckless west.
Xiao Man looked at the vehicle that was slowly approaching him from a distance, and jumped up in front of the mansion with an excited face: "Is this it?
Twilight Snow lifted the curtain and poked her head out. A pair of apricot kernel eyes instantly smiled into crescent moons, and stretched out their hands in response: "Xiao Man!"
At that moment, the land of Xifan was scattered in the sunshine with the small beauty of these young people. Although the yellow wolf is around, it can't hide the diffuse and arrogant youth of youth.
The coachman reined in his horse in front of the door of the Linghou Mansion.
Xiao Man lifted his skirt and hurriedly ran over, but was taken by Xiao Chuan behind him.
"Miss Cher, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you've grown taller than the last time I saw you. Xiao Chuan's face was a little red. This second young master of the Linghou Mansion was just as shy and timid when he saw his sweetheart.
"Brother!" Xiao Man shouted dissatisfiedly behind him.
"Uh-huh, I, I'm trying to help Miss Cher get off the horse!" he said, holding out his hands.
Twilight Tianxue was stunned, and smiled: "Is it Brother Chuan?"
Xiao Chuan was recognized by Twilight Tianxue, and his face was like a flower: "It's me, it's me." Hehe~ I really didn't expect that Miss Cher still remembered me. β
Twilight stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Remember." Among Xiao Man's three elder brothers, you are the blackest! I was most impressed by you when I was a child. After so many years, Brother Chuan seems to, uh... It's a little bit white..."
Xiao Song behind him laughed so much that he almost squatted on the ground: "I, what am I talking about? You are really, indeed impressive!haha~"
Twilight Tianxue smiled again: "Just kidding, Brother Chuan." I can come down myself. As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped neatly out of the carriage!
"Xue'er! You, I haven't seen you for a few years, why do you still like to do things that don't match your appearance like when you were a child! This just looks like you're a lady! It's easy to do things, but it can make people's jaws drop!" Xiao Man dragged the twilight snow beside him, stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and pointed at her from top to bottom.
Twilight Tianxue turned her head and approached Xiao Man: "What's so good about a lady? Playing the piano and embroidering flowers? It's not that my father hasn't found someone to teach me, but I can't sit still at all with my temperament." β
After speaking, Du Tianxue clenched Xiao Man's hand: "Xiao Man, the third brother is gone, don't be too sad..."
Xiao Man pursed his lips and laughed again: "It's all over." Go away, my father is still waiting for you. As he spoke, he took Twilight Snow's hand and wanted to enter the Linghou Mansion.
"Eh, no..."Xiao Song stretched out his hand awkwardly behind him.
This sound attracted the attention of the two girls in front of her.
Xiao Man looked back at Xiao Song suspiciously, and suddenly looked like he suddenly realized. She patted Twilight Snow gently, "I forgot to introduce you." This is also my brother. Xiao Song. However, uh... I don't know what to say, but he's my father's nephew. β
Xiao Song took two steps forward, seemed to feel inappropriate again, thought about it, and retreated.
Twilight Tianxue smiled, "Hello, Brother Song!"
"You two don't know each other! I'll go, Xiao Song, I thought you and Xue'er knew each other?! Look at your excitement! Dare to love, I don't know!" Xiao Chuan said, his mouth pouted: "You still laugh at me! I'm black, and I'm better than people who don't know who you are!"
Xiao Song ignored the guy next to him, but asked the girl opposite: "That, Xue'er, a few years ago, Xiao Man went to your house to play, and when she came back, I picked her up!
Twilight Tianxue frowned and thought for a while, "It seems, it's a little impressive!"
"Xue'er, don't be embarrassed, just say it if you don't have an impression! He's thick-skinned!" Xiao Chuan snorted on the side.
After a few people finished laughing, Twilight Tianxue was just about to turn around, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, that's right, Xiao Man." As he spoke, a girl was pulled from the side of the carriage.
The girl was about the same age as them, but she was dressed strangely, as if she had just escaped from somewhere!
Twilight Tianxue pulled her in front of Xiao Man: "She was met on my way." The itinerary on the road was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to ask in detail. You see, it's quite pitiful, as if you haven't eaten for a few days. I'm in charge of it, take her to the house to wash and change, do you think it's okay?"
Xiao Man looked around the girl: "What's your name?"
The girl lowered her head and twitched her fingers with both hands: "I, I, my name is Linglan." β
"Linglan?" Xiao Man repeated the name in his mouth, and then asked, "Where is your home? How did you get like this?
Linglan lowered her head and cried. This cry made the two men beside him unable to stay.
"Let's ask again when we get home. Xue'er has been here for a long time, and her father is still waiting. Xiao Chuan said, leading the groom to take the lead in entering the Linghou Mansion.
Linglan followed behind Twilight Tianxue and Xiao Man all the way, her head bowed deeply.
