cpa300_4(); Inside, it's a little dark.

I sat at the table, stunned as the only ray of sunlight shone in through the hidden window, but it could no longer illuminate the dark room, and I could only see a lot of dust flying in the light, the more chaotic and quiet.

The wind was blowing outside, and the half-hidden window lattices hit the window frames and made a loud sound, and I could faintly hear the rustle of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves and rolling down the corners of the road in the empty courtyard outside, but it became more and more silent, so quiet that people felt like going crazy.

Then came the voices and the cry of a girl.

This voice is a little unfamiliar, like a newcomer.

An old woman stood outside and asked loudly, "What's going on?" Who is she? ”

Another slightly younger grandmother said: "This dead girl, when she was serving the concubine Niangniang in Chonghua Hall yesterday, she actually accidentally broke the concubine Niangniang's son Guanyin, and the lady didn't pick her skin, which is considered her ancestor to accumulate virtue!" ”

"Ouch, who doesn't know that the most important thing for the concubine is the Guanyin, who sent the son, was actually broken by her, hum, no wonder she is going to be distributed here now."

"I'm here, but don't even think about going out."

The two of them were still talking, but the girl was already crying silently, and begged for mercy: "Mama, you are good, help me, help me intercede, Mama." ”

"Intercession? Hmph, you're still dreaming, you've already come here, even if the king of heaven pleads with you, don't think about going out again. ”

Hearing this, I lowered my eyes.

The two grandmothers outside were still talking coldly, the girl cried for a long time, and the crying finally subsided, she listened to the words of the grandmothers, and it seemed that she had accepted her fate, and after a long time she said: "Then, Mama, what are you going to do when you send me here?" ”

"Well, this is good, you should accept your fate when you come here. Actually, there's nothing to do here, just go and deliver three meals a day to the crazy woman in that house. ”

"Crazy woman?!"

The girl's voice suddenly lowered, as if frightened: "What crazy woman? ”

The older grandmother said: "This crazy woman was imprisoned more than two years ago, and at the beginning she was sick every day, and she cried and screamed inside all day long, calling for her daughter, and shouting for her three children, and she was noisy day and night, so noisy that we couldn't sleep, and then beat her a few times before she became a little better." ”

"So, where did she come from? Why not get out of here? ”

"Kick out? Hey, it would be nice if she could really get out, but this crazy woman committed a capital crime, how could it be so cheap to be kicked out. ”

"Capital offense? What did she do? ”

"I heard that she actually dared to assassinate the emperor in front of everyone in the Texas Mansion!"

"Huh?! Are you sure? ”

"I've heard about it too," said the younger grandmother, "My nephew was on an errand in Texas, and he sued me, saying that this crazy woman didn't know what she had done, and he annoyed the emperor, and the emperor didn't let her go, but she insisted on leaving, and when the emperor caught her, this crazy woman pulled out a knife and stabbed at the emperor out of nowhere, if it weren't for the crown princess-"

"What nonsense!" Before she could finish her words, another grandmother immediately interrupted her, and although she couldn't see her, she could feel her current voice as she looked: "Do you want to die?" You forgot the emperor's taboo! ”

The grandmother hurriedly changed her words and said, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I damn it, it's Concubine Li." If it weren't for Concubine Li's mother going up to help the emperor block that knife at that time, I'm afraid that now-"

"Huh? She is so bold, so why didn't the emperor kill her head? ”

"Hey, it's also true, if you want to say that the emperor loves Concubine Liniang so much, others don't dare to play a fingernail, this crazy woman dares to stab the emperor, and injured Concubine Li's mother so badly, I'm afraid that a thousand knives will be innocent, but it's strange that the emperor didn't cut off her head, just locked up here, it's really kind."

"yes......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about these gossip, this is her lunch at noon today, you can quickly bring it to her and put it at the door."

“…… Be. ”

I sat quietly by the window, listening to the timid panting voice of the girl outside, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before picking up the tray and cautiously walking in, I listened to her lightly ascending the steps, as if she was holding her breath.

The tray was placed on the ground, and the girl did not dare to look inside, but turned to leave.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, suddenly, a pale and emaciated hand with protruding bones reached out from the fence and grabbed her wrist, she was caught off guard and let out a low cry, and when she looked back, she saw me in the fence, I was grabbing her wrist hard, while grabbing the fence, looking at her and saying, "Can you do me a favor?" ”

The girl saw my face clearly, and immediately screamed in fright: "Ah! Ghosts, there are ghosts! ”

I tried to look kind, and said softly, "You, help me, okay?" ”

She struggled desperately to shake me off, but I still grabbed her wrist hard and didn't let go, just tried to soften my voice, and said, "Can you help me, help me?" ”

"You let go of me, let go!" She screamed in fright, and hit my hand with her other hand, and her pale hand was red and swollen, but I didn't seem to feel it at all, so I still grabbed her and said seriously: "You help me, help me ask, have you found my daughter, her name is Li'er...... My daughter, did you find ......"

At this moment, the two grandmothers had already heard the sound and rushed over, and as soon as they saw this scene, they immediately scolded: "She is crazy again!" ”

After saying that, the young lady came up, picked up a wooden cane at the door and hit the back of my hand hard, and suddenly a sharp pain came, and I finally let go of my hand, and a large swelling on the back of my hand, the girl fell to the ground in fright, and cried wow.

Before the grandmother could retract my hand, she hit me a few more times and scolded: "If I don't beat you for a few days, I will make trouble again, believe it or not, I beat you so much that you can't go to bed for three days!" ”

I retracted my hand, and it hurt so much that it felt like it was about to break.

The girl was so frightened by me that she couldn't stand up, and was pulled out by the two grandmothers, and scolded her: "It's really useless, being scared like this by her, see how you live in the future!" ”

The girl almost broke down and said, "Mama, I can't stand it anymore, it's so scary!" ”

Mama said coldly: "What kind of place do you think this is for you to choose?" Also, keep your mouth shut in the future, don't go around saying that there is a crazy woman locked up here, and few people in the palace know about it. Do you know why you can come here, it was the girl before who said a word to others, and the emperor cut off her tongue, if you don't want to die, be obedient! ”

The girl's frightened face turned white, and she resigned, and a few of them left.

I was still lying on the wooden fence, but I couldn't do anything, so I could only watch the three of them scold and scold and close the courtyard door and leave, and in this empty courtyard, only the rustle of the wind rolling the withered yellow leaves was, and the dead silence like stagnant water was restored.

I don't know how long it took me to get up and sit back down at the table.

As soon as I looked up, I saw my appearance reflected in the dusty bronze mirror.

The cheeks have been emaciated and sunken, and the eyes are too, and the cheekbones are slightly raised, looking at a kind of skinny and bone sharpness, but the eyes are still very bright, even in such a room where the light is a little dim, it's just that the brightness is like the winter sun shining on the ice, although it is brilliant, although it is brilliant, it still can't melt the ice of the thousand years.

The long hair fell down, somewhat hiding the embarrassment of the emaciation of the emaciation of the cheeks, but the hair that was once black and shiny as silk also lost its luster at this time, with a hint of withered air.

It's no wonder that girl was scared to cry by me, don't I look like a ghost?

I picked up the comb and slowly brushed it off, and there was a lot of hair on the teeth.

It's autumn, and even the leaves outside are falling, not to mention human hair.

I turned my head slowly and looked at the gate, which was open, but the light could not shine in, because outside the gate, there was a row of wooden fences that had been added later, which were tightly locked by iron chains, and only opened on rare occasions to allow me to go out to breathe, and more often than not, I could only watch the light pouring down from the middle of the wooden fence, and spend the day like this.

I don't know how long I sat there, but the light slowly dimmed in front of me.

It's another day......

I was awakened by a strange noise.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the table all night again, and my arm was aching, but I didn't have time to think about it when I heard the small door of the courtyard outside being pushed open.

There was a very light footstep, and he slowly walked in.

It's not those grandmothers and maids, they will be scolding every time they come, and when other people come here, it won't be such footsteps, that footsteps, I am too familiar.

The sound of this footstep seemed very light and cautious, as if exploring something unknown, and every step was so careful, and he walked from the gate of the courtyard step by step, stepped on the dead leaves in the courtyard, walked up the steps, and finally stopped in front of the door of the house.

"Huh?"

The visitor let out a voice of doubt, this voice was soft and tender, but also unfamiliar, with a sense of surprise, as if he had never known that there would be such a place in the palace.

After a moment of silence, a small hand passed through the gap in the fence and gently pushed open the false door.

I sat at the table, slowly watching the door being pushed open, the morning sun shining into this dark room, I squinted my eyes slightly, and a strange figure appeared in my sight, standing outside the door, a pair of clear eyes wide open, looking at me.
