Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wolf Howls in the Night

Zhou set up five carriages for Yan Yao, two carrying people and three carrying goods, such as cages, bedding and grain and vegetables, and sent four maidservants to her.

The maidservants' expressions were as sad as if they were going to die, thinking that they knew the identity of Yan Yao's 'plague star', and also knew that she had only been back for half a month, and the ten maidservants in the courtyard were all sick and half dead.

They were going to accompany Yan Yao until they ...... Die!

Before leaving, Zhou promised to take care of their families and gave them their deed of sale to Yan Yao.

Yan Yao originally wanted to send them back, and the things were all returned, but after thinking about it, she accepted it again, she thought that the Zhou family did not plan to take her back again, and it was not bad to have more gold and silver, as for whether these handmaidens would be a blessing or a curse when they arrived, it depended on their own performance.

Yan Yao didn't say anything, and pulled the finch into the carriage.

The coachman drove away without stopping for a moment, all the way out of Kunjing, and in the evening he arrived in front of a lonely manor, unloaded the things in the courtyard quickly, and fled one by one.

“……”

Yan Yao stood in the messy courtyard speechlessly looking at the sunset, is she a ghost now? One by one is more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things, just pack up your place tonight, and clean up tomorrow, who will cook and go quickly."

Yan Yao casually instructed a few words, picked up a quilt and entered the main house, and after a while, he moved out again, found a cloth towel, and fetched water from the well in the courtyard and went into the house to clean up.

The yard is not big, only one in, three is two boxes.

Yan Yao and Que'er cleaned up a main room, laid out the bedding, and the maid who cooked had already made two meats, two vegetables and one soup, and said timidly when they entered the house: "Miss, the things in the car are not thorough enough, and the dinner can only be done, tomorrow the slave and maid will go down the mountain to buy more food and come back, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Yan Yao glanced at the dishes on the table, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's just that the amount is less, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat." ”

The maidservant raised her eyes in surprise, four dishes and one soup were not enough for her young lady to eat?

"Forget it, I'll just eat some and call them over for dinner."

Yan Yao's words and the maid were shocked again, did she ask them to come over for dinner together?

Doesn't that work, right?

Not to mention that she is a young lady and they are slaves, as far as her close ones are either dead or injured, they will also make people stay away.

"Miss has tormented the slave maid, the slave maid does not dare to share the table with the young lady at the same time, the slave maid cooks noodles and eats them in the kitchen."

The little maid hurriedly refused, and she didn't know whether she was shocked or afraid, and her little face turned pale.

Que'er was serving soup for Yan Yao, glanced at the little maid and said unhappily: "Miss asked you to come, you will come, why do you look like you want to eat poison?" ”

Have they ever seen a young lady cleaning up her house?

A lot of goods that I haven't seen!

The finch pursed her lips, and when she saw that the little maid was still hesitating, she couldn't help but stare and shouted: "Hurry up and ask them to come over for dinner, and wait for the young lady to invite her in person!" ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

The little maid stumbled away, Yan Yao glanced at the finch and smiled, "You little girl is getting more and more fierce." ”

"As soon as I saw their appearance, I didn't fight anywhere, they all seemed to be ghosts, and I was most annoyed by this kind of person who listened to the wind and rain."

Bird's eyes were full of disdain, she glanced at the old furnishings in the house, kicked on the rickety table legs, and sighed: "This is obviously the abandoned Zhuangzi, the grass in the yard grows taller than a person, the courtyard wall will fall down as soon as it is kicked, this bed, table and chair may collapse one day, the doors and windows are not closed tightly, the gauze paper is broken, the ground is potholed, and it may leak when it rains......"

She saw that this house was not pleasing to the eye everywhere, and it was not pleasing to the eyes of this realm, I really don't know how Houfu found such a place where birds do not lay eggs, there are no people nearby, the surrounding forests are deep and dense, and I don't know if there will be wild beasts!

"Let's stay for a few days, maybe ......"

Yan Yao was only halfway through his words, and the finches were confused, and the maidservants entered the house one by one with low eyebrows, one of them brought a bowl of noodles, timidly saluted Yan Yao, and then stood at the crooked square table and ate, because there were only two chairs in the room.

The chopsticks of the maidservants did not touch the plates on the table, Yan Yao said while eating: "Que'er, give each of them some dishes and let them eat each." ”

They are awkward, and she looks awkward, so it is better to be clean.

After eating and drinking, and washing hastily, Yan Yao slept with the birds, she didn't have to be served by the maids, and she didn't want to care about them, she always felt that the fate with these people would not last long, so she didn't even bother to ask the name.

They must also be low-class girls who are not welcomed in the waiting house, and they leave the house with her, the 'plague star', for fear of being scared, and losing half their lives.

In the middle of the night on the first night, the other half of the maidservants' lives were almost lost.

The maidservants were huddled in a room in fear and fear, and in the middle of the night they had just fallen asleep in a daze, when they were awakened by the howls of wolves.

The doors and windows were so broken that they almost collapsed at the slightest touch, and the courtyard wall collapsed a few times, so they couldn't stop the wolves at all.

So the maidservants huddled together, trembling, hugging their heads and weeping.

This time, they were even more convinced that Yan Yao was a 'plague star', and they had just landed and attracted wolves, and the sound was still everywhere, what was not a 'plague star'?

This time, they will not be slowly killed, but all of a sudden.

When they were afraid, Yan Yao and Que also woke up.

Both of them were afraid, but neither moved, just held their breath and listened to the wolf howl that was getting closer and closer.

Yan Yao sighed lightly in her heart, it seems that someone really doesn't want to let her go.

"Sparrow, do you think it's a man or a wolf?"

Yan Yao muttered lightly, feeling that whether it was a human or a wolf, he was only afraid that it would be more auspicious tonight.

"Don't be afraid, Miss, the finches protect you."

A slightly cool little hand grabbed her hand in the middle of the quilt, and I don't know whose hand was trembling.

Yan Yao grabbed Que'er's hand with his backhand, shook it hard, and said lightly: "Que'er will run away when you have a chance, I may not be able to protect you." ”

"Miss, don't be afraid, the finches can protect you."

Que'er said with confidence, Yan Yao only thought that she was comforting herself, and gave up with a wry smile.

At this time, the wolf howl outside suddenly stopped, causing Yan Yao's heart to stop for a moment, she squeezed the small blanket at hand, which contained all kinds of medicinal powder pills collected from Zang Jiu's body, and the things on Zang Jiu's body were very evil, and she took it for a while.

Now there is a broken house as a cane, plus the medicine powder and her skills, I don't know if I can withstand it, if it is over, she must leave here after dawn.

When a thought flashed in her heart, the wind suddenly rose outside, and the dilapidated doors and windows were blown 'bang', and the faint and suppressed cry was carried by the wind, adding a lot of depression in the darkness.

Yan Yao frowned, pulled the finch gently, the two of them got up quietly, the table and cabinet were piled up to the door, and one person stood in front of the window with a piece of unloaded chair legs.

She opened a paper bag and spilled the unknown powder.
