readx; Someone was outside the door. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

That Xiao Gong's eyes lit up, thinking that Xu Heng was back, and he was about to run up to open the door with a happy face, but was stopped by Shi Lan.

Shi Lan's hand grasped the soft sword at his waist again.

It stands to reason that their doors and windows were tightly closed, and even the cracks of the doors were stuffed with strips of cloth, and from the outside they must have been dark, and no one could have come to the door at such a time.

The little palace maid only then reacted, if Xu Heng came back, she would call the door directly, how could she make such a strange sound?

The sound of the peeling pecking seemed to be someone using their fingernails to smash the crack in the door panel, which was terrifying to hear, and it sounded for a while, probably seeing that there was no response, and paused for a while.

They began to hear the sound of dragging things away, squirming, squirming, rhythmic, chilling dragging, like a footless man walking silently outside the door with his hands on his crippled body.

dragged a few times, and the sound gradually faded away, probably confirming that there was no one in the house, and left early,

Shi Lan was still vigilant of the movement outside the door, frowning slightly, and the little palace maid who was already frightened looked at Shi Lan with a crying voice and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, what is that?"

Before she could finish speaking, the closed door of the wing room was suddenly slammed by a force that was so great that it almost deformed the door covered with a thick quilt.

The little palace maid screamed in fright, and Shi Lan didn't have time to cover her mouth. As if receiving some kind of signal, the thing outside the door paused for a few seconds, and then responded with a more violent impact in the next moment, which became faster and faster, as if a hungry beast had discovered its prey, and crashed and crashed wildly.

The dust on the door frame was all sprinkled, and the air in the wing, which was not bright enough, suddenly became a little dirty. Something that was frantically banging on the door became more and more anxious, and from behind the somewhat shaky door, it sounded like a woman who had been choked by the throat, and let out a near-death moment choking and hissing.

The four people in the room held their breath, Shi Lan was already holding her sword and ready to go, waiting for the moment when the door was destroyed, killing the intruder who didn't know what was happening as soon as possible.

Just when their nerves were tense, they heard the sound of a small pebble flying, Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, and then heard a loud ping pong, and her eyebrows jumped again.

Is there anyone out there, trying to lure away the monsters outside the door?

Sure enough, the thing outside the door was no longer focused on breaking the door, but was distracted by the sudden noise, and the sound of a long voice and a low roar was followed by the sound of clothes dragging again.

Shi Lan did not let her guard down, and after the dragging sound was far away, she heard a rapid running sound as soft as possible, and someone knocked on the door twice quietly through the window paper and quilt.

In the distance, the monster's low roar was heard again.

"Open the door quickly, it's me!" Xu Heng's anxious voice came from behind the door and window, and the surprise in the eyes of the little palace maid flashed, and then she rushed forward happily and opened the door neatly.

Xu Heng panted sideways and flashed in, turned around and quickly pressed the door panel with his hand, took all the deadbolts with a pale face, made a silent gesture and quickly retreated from the door.

After waiting for a long time, the moaning of the monster from far and near finally could no longer be heard, and Xu Heng exhaled a long breath of breath, patting his chest and calling his mother in fear.

"What is that?" the little palace maid looked at Xu Heng with a worried face, and asked with concern, "Why did you come back and were you injured?"

Xu Heng smiled slightly apologetically, shook his head, looked at the little palace maid with a rare trace of soft light in his eyes, and then didn't even have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, took out a box of needlework from his arms, and gasped: "The rooms here are a little weird, and the place of the sewing box is a little far away." I took a detour to avoid those things......"

Shi Lan was silent for a moment, took the sewing box in Xu Heng's hand, handed it to the busy palace maid, and said, "Is it useful?"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that the mother won't be able to stand the pain!" The palace maid glanced at the sleeping Wei Ruoshui distressedly, I don't know how much of a crime this precious lady should suffer, she glanced at the sewing box again and said, "The afterbirth has been pressed out before, but the wound has not stopped bleeding...... This thing is dirty, there is no strong wine needle, even if it is saved, the slave is afraid that the future mother's life will be more sinful!"

"It's fine. Shi Lan moved a candle at the head of the bed and placed it on a small stool at the end of the bed, raising the wick high, so that the brighter candle flame illuminated Wei Ruoshui's body, "Use coals." ”

Seeing this, the little palace maid probably understood something, and she almost fainted when she shook it, and her face turned pale.

Following Shi Lan's instructions, she rolled up the towel and stuffed it into Wei Ruoshui's mouth, pressing her tongue, in order to let the queen mother not hurt her name later.

After doing all this, the little palace maid quickly turned her face away and didn't dare to look at it, but Xu Heng simply pulled her to stay in the corner in order to avoid suspicion.

"Fang Cai, what is that?" The little palace maid secretly glanced at the soles of Xu Heng's shoes, and found that a slip of blood stains remained on the soles of his shoes, and where Xu Heng walked, blood-colored footprints were imprinted one by one.

Xu Heng looked down at his feet, frowned in disgust, obviously felt the little palace maid's frightened eyes, avoided Shi Lan's gaze, and quietly took the little palace maid's hand and whispered: "I don't know what it is, it looks like a human, but it's not." Next time, don't run out without me leading the way. ”

The little palace maid nodded firmly, her eyes softened, and she suddenly whispered aggrievedly: "I thought you ran away earlier." ”

"Silly girl, how could I. Xu Heng sighed helplessly, looked at the little palace maid's gaze was extremely sincere, and said in a low voice, "One day, I will take you out of the palace." ”

The little palace maid nodded happily, and a smile just appeared on her cheeks, but she was frightened by a sharp scream.

Wei Ruoshui was obviously the one who had exhausted his last strength, but he woke up again and howled in the sting pain of the wound stitching and the burning coals.

Shi Lan's eyes were full of forbearance, she used her rough hands to prop up Wei Ruoshui's legs, and then pressed Wei Ruoshui's struggling upper body with her legs, lest she would do something irreparable under the extreme pain.

"Hold it down!" the palace maid shouted, and the silver needle with blood in her hand stopped on the burning flame for a few moments, and without hesitation, she retracted, pulled up, punctured, pulled, and stitched up...... Her face became more solemn, but her hands became more and more steady.

Even though I just counted the time for the stitches, it seemed like it was as long as one night.

It wasn't until Wei Ruoshui, who was hoarse and exhausted, fainted several times and could no longer struggle hard, that the palace maid exhaled, turned around and carefully put down the silver needle that had already been stained with blood, collapsed, slowly looked at Shi Lan, who was also pale, and nodded.

Stone Orchid. Wei Ruoshui's face was as white as a piece of paper, her eyes were scattered, and she murmured silently with difficulty, Shi Lan, Shi Lan.

Shi Lan leaned in gently, held Wei Ruoshui's hand, and whispered something.

The air was filled with a strong smell of charcoal burn and blood rot, and the little palace maid, who had already had weak legs, finally couldn't bear it anymore, her legs were weak, and with Xu Heng's support, she turned around and knelt on the ground and vomited. (To be continued.) )
