Chapter 66: The Wolf Is Coming
Early the next morning, Qiaoya ran into Xue Ying's room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Usually, because Qiaoya has a "morning class" - practicing martial arts with Aunt He'an, Dong Xun has always been doing the things of serving Xue Ying to get up. Dong Xun saw her come in and asked strangely, "Don't you have to go to class today?"
"Miss!Dong Xun!" Qiao Ya ran out of breath, looking half nervous and half excited, "The wolf is coming!"
"Wolf?!" Dongxun shook his hand in fright, and the hairpin he was holding fell to the ground.
"Where did the wolf come from?" Xue Ying leaned over to pick up the hairpin and put it back on the dresser, asking.
"It's from the mountains!" Qiao Ya gestured, "a large group came, and dragged away the sheep of the Shuang'er family, and the cattle of the Juyi family were also bitten a lot, but fortunately Dalang found out early and drove the wolf away." ”
Dong Xun's legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground in fright, and asked in a trembling voice: "Here...... Will there be wolves?"
"It's okay, the wall of our yard here is so high that wolves can't get in. Xue Ying comforted, and followed Qiaoya to help her up and sit on the chair, "It is estimated that this kind of thing has not happened before, Zhao Zhuangtou and they were unprepared to be dragged away a sheep, and now that they already know that there are wolves nearby, they will not sit idly by." ”
"Hmm!" Qiao Ya nodded vigorously, "Early this morning, Zhao Zhuangtou has already led the team up the mountain to drive the wolf." ”
Dong Xun relaxed a little at this time, but his face was still very ugly. "We're here against the mountains, and there are few people, so wolves won't come to us!"
"Didn't the young lady say that the fence of the yard is high, and wolves can't get in. Qiaoya was bold, and her eyes lit up when she talked about this topic, "Don't be afraid to come, just show me what the wolf looks like!"
"Don't scare Dongxun. Xue Ying gently pushed her, "Go and tell Uncle Shunzi, Aunt Shunzi and Zhao Hu, lock the doors and windows during this time and try to go out as much as possible, how much fire is lit during the vigil, wolves are afraid of light, and they dare not approach if there is a fire." ”
"Oh. Qiaoya was just about to leave, but Xue Ying stopped her again.
"You too, until Zhao Zhuangtou is sure that it is safe, you are not allowed to run around. ”
Qiaoya's face collapsed: "I just went to the master's house to go around......"
"That's not good!" Xue Ying looked serious, "If you have to go down the mountain, at least let one of Uncle Shunzi or Zhao Hu accompany you." ”
Qiaoya pouted and left very reluctantly.
"Miss......" Dong Xun's voice was still trembling, a little panicked.
"It's fine. Xue Ying patted her on the shoulder, and her mind had turned to how to pick up the past.
Originally, she planned to act after dark today, after all, there were many people during the day, but now that the wolves are making trouble, I am afraid that there are many people keeping vigil at night, and it will be difficult to act secretly.
In the evening, Aunt He'an came to report the situation.
"Traces of wolves were indeed found on the mountain, but these wolves were very cunning, and they went all the way to the mountains, and Zhao Zhuangtou was afraid that there would be any danger if he went in again, so he asked everyone to withdraw first. The winery was in the mountains, and for fear of not being safe, only the able-bodied male workers remained, and the others had withdrawn. Security has been strengthened on the side of Bezhuang, and patrols have been lined up both day and night. There will also be people patrolling this side of the yard, and once an hour, the patrolling people will go around outside and will not come in to disturb them. In addition, we also gave the fireworks to Uncle Shunzi and Zhao Hu, and once we found something, we will issue a fireworks warning, and we will come up soon. ”
Xue Ying nodded: Everything was arranged properly, and Zhao Zhuangtou was really very reliable.
However...... "I don't know what happened to the master's side?" their house is deep in the mountains, and there is no one around, will the wolves disturb them?"
Aunt He'an smiled and nodded: "Miss has a heart, they will arrive in a while, they will stay in the Zhuangzi for a while, and then go back when the wolves are gone." ”
"That's good. ”
"It's just that it's not been peaceful lately, and I'm afraid some things will be postponed. ”
Xue Ying knew that she was referring to the past: "Then Aunt Lloyd will have to worry about it for a few more days." ”
"It should. ”
Qiaoya on the side had been about to move for a long time, and Xue Ying glanced at her: "Say it." ”
Qiao Ya immediately couldn't wait to ask, "Master, I'm going down the mountain tomorrow to practice martial arts, right?"
"No, I don't. You can't just go down a mountain until you're sure it's safe. ”
"What can happen in broad daylight? Besides, it's just a short journey...... "Qiao Ya was anxious. Xue Ying didn't allow her to go out, she originally wanted to get support from the master, but she didn't expect the master to dismantle the stage like this.
"Won't I just come up?" Aunt He'an sometimes felt helpless about Qiaoya's straight-line thinking, "Now that Miss is back, I will also teach her to practice martial arts!"
"That's right. Qiaoya suddenly realized, "I almost forgot that Miss is also your apprentice." She didn't look like she had practiced at all......"
"I know I'm not good at learning, thank you!" Xue Ying glanced at her.
Qiaoya stuck out her tongue.
"I'll also bring my master up by the way, and while it's not snowing yet, I have to give Miss a few more lessons. "Xue Ying went to Ganxiao Temple to practice for half a year, and a lot of homework was dropped, seeing that the weather was about to enter the depths of winter, and after the snow, the master stopped class, and Xue Ying didn't want to learn anything. After all the calculations, Xue Ying has been able to attend classes seriously for less than three months a year, and the master has one day of class and one day off, so the class time is pitiful.
"Don't be too anxious, Master is not in good health, don't be tired. Xue Ying understood what Aunt He'an was worried about, but there were some things that couldn't be rushed.
In addition to taking Liuli's class, she also has to find time to practice the footwork and martial arts taught by Aunt He'an, and the etiquette courses on Aunt Sun's side must also be arranged into the schedule, and the calligraphy that Master Mingtu asked her to practice cannot be left behind...... Counting, she's really not idle.
………………
At night, a long wolf howl woke Xue Ying from her sleep.
After waking up, she found that her clothes were wet with cold sweat, and only a vague shadow was left in the dream just now, but the panicked feeling still made her heart palpitate.
"Miss?" Qiao Ya came in, "are you scared? It's okay, the wolf is far away." ”
Xue Ying came back to her senses, and sure enough, there was a wolf howl outside, but it was obviously much farther away than she had just felt, and if it weren't for the silence of the night, it would have been impossible to hear it.
So, was the wolf howling just now the wolf howling outside, or the wolf in her dream?
Qiao Ya lit a candle and was frightened by Xue Ying's pale face: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Ying touched the cold sweat on her forehead and responded weakly: "It's okay." ”
"Isn't it sick? Qiaoya put down the candle, touched her forehead, and suggested, "I'm going to call Zhen's mother?"
"No, Zhen's mother is prone to sleep hard at night, don't make any noise about her. Xue Ying took a deep breath, "Pour me a glass of water." ”
Qiaoya poured water and put it in Xue Ying's hand, but Xue Ying suddenly remembered an aggressive voice in the dream just now.
"You save her, why don't you save me?!"
Her heart skipped a beat, and the hand holding the cup shook and sprinkled some water.
"Miss?" Qiao Ya looked worried, "I'm going to call someone, right? You look sick." ”
"I'm not sick. Xue Ying clutched her chest and muttered, "I'm ...... I'm in the middle of it. ”
