Chapter 16: Scorched
Mrs. Cheng's worries have not decreased, and she has become more and more anxious.
Cheng Shilang's illness is getting worse day by day, the doctor comes and goes like a stream, and the servant woman has reminded her to prepare for the future earlier.
Compared with the second room with only one son, the four sons of the big house will not be too many, and the family business must be inherited by someone.
What's more, this son is still a descendant, Mrs. Cheng's youngest son, and the old children are all particularly favored.
Master Cheng's sigh and Mrs. Cheng's anxiety and crying made the Cheng family talk miserably.
Even Cheng Liuniang and Cheng Qiniang, who have always loved to be noisy, have been much more stable these days, and the sisters no longer quarrel when they get together, but worry about their brother's condition.
There are many brothers in the family, and the women they marry outside are imposing, and the brothers in this family are their future supporters.
"I said I bumped into a guest in the lotus pond." Cheng Liuniang said in a low voice.
Cheng Qiniang was so frightened that she hugged Cheng Wuniang.
"It's sick, don't scare people." Cheng Siniang said.
"Why did you suddenly get sick like this?" Cheng Liuniang said, "The third brother said that Shiro met a beauty in the lotus pond and became like this. ”
At this she lowered her voice.
"How can there be a beauty in the lotus pond all of a sudden?" She said, "What else could it be but a ghost?" ”
"I don't want to live in the lotus pond!" Cheng Qiniang screamed in fright, shouted to the nurse and ran away crying.
The sisters in the house were startled by her like this, Cheng Qiniang was scared away, the room was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
"It's so timid." Cheng Liuniang said, waving her hand, "I'll go find my mother." ”
She got up and left.
Cheng Siniang and Cheng Wuniang glanced at each other.
"Sister, let's move in together, work together, and make the embroidery for my mother's birthday faster." Cheng Wuniang said.
Cheng Siniang nodded hurriedly.
With Cheng Qiniang moving out of the lotus pond to live in her mother's ear room, Cheng Liuniang also used the excuse of helping her mother take care of her family affairs to live in Mrs. Cheng's place, Cheng Siniang and Wuniang sisters live together, and the yard is lit up every night.
The rumor that there is a ghost in the lotus pond is getting more and more popular, and the little girls dare not come to the lotus pond, and the lotus pond, which has always been a good place for summer vacation, is becoming more and more shady.
Master Cheng and Second Master Cheng were so angry that they punished a group of people who spread rumors, but they couldn't curb it, and they also knew that it was very simple to curb it, one was to send their daughters back to live in the lotus pond first, and the other was that Cheng Shilang would get better quickly.
The former old men have the heart to act resolutely, but the daughters are helpless to cry and the wives do not follow, and the latter is even more powerless, and they are helpless except to find a better doctor.
"Lady, they all say this place is haunted."
Banqin carefully helped Cheng Jianniang to walk in the lotus pond, looking left and right, not so much supporting Cheng Jianniang, but hiding behind Cheng Jianniang.
"Let's stop fishing." She said, "Aren't you afraid? ”
"Afraid of what?" Cheng Jianniang asked, "Ghosts are afraid of talents." ”
"Huh? For what? Banqin asked.
Cheng Jianniang was silent for a moment.
Banqin Zhilu said that this is the lady preparing to speak, waiting with a little expectation.
"Don't talk about it, it's too troublesome." Cheng Jianniang finally said.
Half celery pouted.
"The lady dislikes me for being stupid and won't tell me." She said.
But these two sentences relieved her, she was not so nervous, walked a few steps quickly, and happily pointed to the mountain rocks.
"Lady, our fishing rods are still here!" She shouted, happily running over first.
Cheng Jianniang walked forward slowly, watching Banqin sweep away the frightened and excited description.
"Not really." She said slowly, "I think it's good not to speak now." ”
If you say you understand, if you don't say it, you will understand it, so it's actually nothing to say it or not.
Cheng Jianniang held the fishing rod and sat down on the rocks, watching the rippling water surface return to calm.
In the flickering memory, it seems that she loves to talk and can speak, but she doesn't seem to be happy, and when she reluctantly explores this memory, her heart is sour.
"Lady, the sun is shining." Banqin, who was fiddling with the branches of flowers and trees, said, blocking the dazzling sunlight with his hand.
Cheng Jianniang noticed that her skin was hot and painful, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to block it slightly.
People say that ghosts are afraid of the sun, so is she a ghost like this?
The sun suddenly obscured.
"Lady, bring the power with you." Banqin said, took the power on the side and put it on her, "Play for a while, and we'll go back." ”
Although she was still afraid of the sun, she was spending more and more time outside.
This is a good phenomenon, indicating that her physical condition is improving day by day.
Cheng Jianniang hummed and continued fishing.
The lotus pond is indeed much quieter than usual, but it is not that no one has passed by.
It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and when she walked to the bend in front of her, she seemed to dare not go any longer, put down a burden in her hand, and knelt down herself.
"Please, let Childe go..."
The girl trembled and wanted to light a handful of red paper, but she was helplessly scared to the extreme, the more she wanted to light it quickly, the more she couldn't light it, the more she couldn't light it, the more she couldn't click it, the more she felt that it was cold and weird here, and so on, the girl almost cried in fright.
"What are you doing?"
A voice came overhead.
The little girl subconsciously looked up, and the first thing she saw was a black figure holding a pole in her hand.
"Hell!" The little girl screamed in fright, wanted to run but couldn't run, fell to the ground and shivered.
Banqin also screamed in fright and hugged Cheng Jianniang.
"Hell!" She shouted too, not looking around.
Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand and patted her and pointed at herself.
Banqin suddenly realized.
It turned out that the little girl was frightened by the lady with the power.
"You're scared us to death!" She jumped up and shouted, "How dare you be so small! ”
forgot that Fang Cai himself was so frightened that he hugged Cheng Jianniang.
The little girl raised her head boldly and saw a little girl as big as herself, alive.
She breathed a sigh of relief, looked intently, and found that the black figure was wearing a power lid.
"Who are you! It's scary to run on purpose! She also shouted, angry, afraid, aggrieved and sad.
"My wife and I are fishing here, it's scary for you to suddenly run out." Banqin said.
Wife?
The ladies in the family don't dare to come here to play, so this lady is...
"Oh, that idiot!" The girl suddenly shouted.
"You're a fool!" Banqin immediately retorted.
The girl who stayed by the side of the fourth prince in the past, she definitely wanted to teach this unruly girl unceremoniously, but at this time, thinking of the fourth son who was dying soon, his life was gone, and he might as well be a fool.
Especially thinking of myself, I have been with the fourth son for so many years, and suddenly there are no people, and these girls don't know where they are sent to, and they are used to being close-fitting girls who don't touch the spring water with ten fingers, who can stand to be those rough girls.
Look at the girl in front of her, even if she follows the fool, but the fool is at least alive and well, and she doesn't have to worry about being driven away.
The girl began to cry.
Banqin was a little stunned, and scolded her for crying?
"What are you crying about? Don't cry. She hurriedly said,
The girl cried out without restraint, and simply cried loudly.
Banqin was a little at a loss, turned her head to look at Cheng Jianniang, Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand to lift the power and looked at the crying girl.
"We have a solution to the problem of food shortage." She looked at Banqin and whispered.
