In winter, the city is covered in silver.

After the incident of Yan Mansion a few days ago, it fell into low pressure, especially Yan Zheng, and the subordinates who were punished by the cane did not know Yunyun, which made everyone in the mansion nervous, and they did not dare to breathe.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with Qi Niang's Lixiang Courtyard, since that day Yan Zheng interrogated the people of Xiaoxiang Yuan, Lixiang Yuan has been isolated, and even the small kitchen that has not been used for a long time has been reopened, and there is a special person in charge of purchasing and other matters, and Qi Niang is completely locked up.

Today, the heavy snow that has been pressing for several days has finally stopped, and after lunch and dinner, the sun has not been seen for a long time and quietly appears.

"I wonder if the plum blossoms in the garden have bloomed?" Qi Niang stood in front of the window, looked at the bent branches outside, and sighed faintly.

After a few days of suffering, Qi Niang finally found out that Yan Zheng really doubted herself this time, although Gu's mother repeatedly emphasized in her heart that this was to protect herself, but she didn't see Yan Zhengren in the past few days, and even the little guy next to him didn't see her, Qi Niang couldn't help but start to doubt if she wanted to believe it anymore.

Maybe in the face of this situation, Qi Niang would be confused and cry in the past, but now......

Qi Niang sighed leisurely again, since that day she dreamed of the lonely city with millions of corpses, almost every night Qi Niang repeated the same dream, but the things in the dream were more real than once, and the inner feeling was greater than once.

What is real is like reality, but what is far away is like a world away.

Qi Niang herself can feel that she has become a lot more rational, and many things that she couldn't think of clearly before have become easy, and even when Gu's mother wanted to speak to her again, she could immediately think of what she was going to say, and she also knew that Gu's mother was right, she was really naïve before.

Qi Niang didn't tell others about her changes, but just casually found a reason to prevaricate when Gu's mother wanted to speak and stopped, and when she saw the worried look in Gu's mother's eyes, Qi Niang was moved and guilty, but she couldn't understand the reason for her change, so she didn't speak casually, only to increase her worry. After all, the change in myself is too obvious......

Every now and then, Qi Niang always thinks of the black shadow, and now that I think about it, there are really many secrets on him......

Hehe...... Qi Niang smiled softly, although she hadn't seen that black shadow for a long time, she believed that he would still appear.

"Miss ......" Ruyan has been beside the time, seeing that Qi Niang first sighed inexplicably, and then stared out of the window in a daze, and now suddenly laughed out loud, remembering that day Qi Niang drank tea like a cow, and suddenly asked worriedly, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, "Miss is getting more and more abnormal, it's all those uneasy things outside!" ”

"It's finally clear, come and go for a walk in the garden with me......"

Qi Niang skimmed Ruyan's worried eyes, raised her feet and was about to go out, but she was so frightened that Ruyan hurriedly stopped, "Miss! Master...... The lord said he wouldn't let you ......."

Ruyan wanted to persuade, but her voice became smaller and smaller under Qi Niang's gaze, and she didn't even dare to raise her head in the end.

"Daddy only told me not to go out casually, and didn't say not to let me go out......"

"Huh?"

Ruyan froze in place, "Miss is really getting more and more abnormal......" remembered that she had always spoken softly before, and the young lady who had never done anything out of the ordinary actually said such a thing, and there was only one thought left in Ruyan's mind.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't keep up with the ......" Qi Niang's figure has arrived at the gate of the courtyard, like a smoke and a spirit, I don't care about the change of Qi Niang, I quickly agreed, "Miss, it's cold, I'll get you a cloak!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Qi Niang to answer, and hurriedly entered the house.

"Hehe......" Qi Niang smiled softly, looked up at the dazzling but could not withstand the cold winter sun, and waited silently in place.

………………

"Sister Chuncao, I just met Mother Zhao from the carbon house, she asked me to talk to Mother Gu in Miss Seven's courtyard, saying that this month's charcoal fire has been bought back, and let her bring someone to collect it, but I still have something on me, can I trouble Sister Chuncao to run?"

Qi Niang took Ruyan and just walked outside the garden, when she heard a delicate voice sound, Qi Niang paused, and looked at Ruyan suspiciously.

But it was taken back in an instant, although she wondered if the charcoal fire should have been received a few days ago, but she didn't care much about these, and she used them left and right.

It's just that the place where the two maids stand is the only way to go to the garden, although Qi Niang doesn't want to hide behind and listen to the conversation between the two maids, but she doesn't want to appear in front of people. Now that the Yan Mansion is messed up enough, Qi Niang doesn't want to catch anyone anymore.

Yes, handles.

Maybe Qi Niang couldn't understand what was happening in the house before, but as her brain has become better and better recently, Qi Niang has felt that someone is targeting her in the house, but I don't know who it is......

At this time, naturally nothing can happen again, so although Qi Niang said it didn't matter in front of Ruyan, she also tried to pick up places with fewer people to walk, but she didn't expect to meet the two maids.

"Sister Li'er, what are these words, there is nothing left and right, sister, I will run!" After hearing this, the maid named Chuncao laughed coquettishly and scolded with a smile, "Where did you carefully pull me here?" ”

Chuncao was happy in her heart, looking at the delicate-looking Li'er in front of her, she couldn't help but like it, thinking that she was a newcomer in the house, and she acted more or less cautiously, and couldn't help but care, "In the future, you can rest assured that this kind of thing will be said that the masters in the house are kind-hearted and will not punish you for such a trivial matter."

"But......" Li'er opened a pair of big watery eyes, innocently looked left and right, and only after making sure that there was no one around, did she say cautiously, "I heard that a lot of people have died in the mansion recently, otherwise I wouldn't have been bought......"

"What nonsense!?" Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chuncao, "You can talk about the side things at will, but remember, don't chew the root of your tongue in the house, especially the master's affairs, otherwise, you will have to affect your family if you die!" ”

"Ahh Li'er let out a low snort, and when she saw this, she hurriedly saluted Chuncao, thank you sister for her advice, and Li'er didn't dare in the future.

"Okay, aren't you in trouble? Hurry up, I'll help you run to Miss Seven's! Chun Prairie thought that Lian'er was not bad, but she didn't expect her to start talking about the master's affairs without saying a few words, and she was suddenly startled, and she didn't dare to stay anymore, so she left in a hurry.

Seeing Chuncao hurriedly walking in her direction, Qi Niang hurriedly took the smoke to the rockery to avoid contact. I thought that after waiting for the girl named Li'er to leave, I would be able to continue the unfinished journey, but I waited for a long time, but I didn't see another footstep to leave.

I couldn't help frowning.

Qi Niang hadn't heard of Li'er, listening to their conversation just now, thinking about the new house. It's just that her performance made Qi Niang very disliked, but it was the spring grass, Qi Niang looked at the place where she left, but it was very well-behaved.

"Miss, do you want the slave to pretend to pass by and see what's going on?"

Ruyan originally heard that Qi Niang wanted to appreciate the plum, and was frightened, but she picked a place with few people along the way, and Ruyan also understood her young lady's thoughts, and now she waited for a long time and didn't see the maid called Li'er leave, Ruyan was more anxious than Qi Niang, and suggested out loud.

"It's okay......" Qi Niang thought about it, there was no other way, she couldn't wait all the time, although the snow stopped, but because the sky had just cleared, when the ice and snow melted, it was colder than usual.

But before she could finish her words, she heard a heavy footstep from far and near, causing her to swallow the words back into her stomach.

"Man!"

Qi Niang and Ruyan glanced at each other, and immediately frowned......
