Chapter 067: Missing
The room was dim, except for a faint glow of a night light outside.
The chest was popping and jumping, Tong Xue raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and gasped for breath.
"Picking green!" When her breathing had calmed down, she called outside.
Cai Qing slept on the outer bed to keep vigil, Tong Xue waited for a while, and did not hear any movement, so she raised her voice and called again.
There was still no response from the outside.
"Picking green!" Tong Xue frowned and called loudly.
"Girl! The slave is here, the slave is here! Cai Qing seemed to be startled by her voice, got up from the bed with a grunt, hurriedly put on his coat, and walked inside with the night light.
Tong Xue remembered Fang Cai's dream, and her heart was empty and panicked.
"I had nightmares, I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to go to my mother." Tong Xue raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and said in a muffled voice.
Cai Qing yawned, nodded, and said in a daze: "Slave, I'll change your clothes." ”
As he spoke, he put the night light on the table and walked to the cage to find clothes for Tong Xue.
Tong Xue looked at Cai Qing's appearance and couldn't help but feel very weird.
When Cai Qing approached with her clothes, Tong Xue suddenly remembered that something was wrong.
Cai Qing forgot to light the lamp!
"Did you fall asleep late yesterday?" Tong Xue looked up at her.
"Huh?" There was a hint of confusion in Cai Qing's eyes.
"But you clearly slept very deeply, and I called three times to wake you up." Tong Xue retorted again.
These words were like a basin of cold water poured down, and Cai Qing was full of excitement, and he instantly sobered up.
"Girl, forgive me! The slave didn't know what was going on, but for some reason she slept very deeply tonight, and was so sleepy! Cai Qing held her clothes in her hands and knelt down against the bed.
Cai Qing is one of the two big girls in Tong Xue's yard, and she and Cai Lan take turns to keep vigil on the couch outside.
As a night watchgirl, she should have paid attention to every move in the inner room, but she didn't realize that Tong Xue had a nightmare and was awakened by a nightmare.
"Don't kneel, get up quickly, and serve me to dress!" Tong Xue's uneasiness became thicker and thicker, and her voice couldn't help but be impatient.
"Yes!" Cai Qing hurriedly got up, looked down at the clothes she had picked out, and only hated to slap herself twice, and hurriedly ran to match the appropriate clothes for Tong Xue to wear.
After Tong Xue was dressed neatly, Cai Qing turned her head and found that there was only a night light burning on the table, and her face was also red.
She hurriedly went over to light the lamp, and then remembered that it was not yet dawn.
"Girl?" Cai Qing glanced at the drip in the room, just after the fourth watch, "You have a nightmare, just the slave and maid accompany you, at this time, I am afraid that the Hou Ye and Mrs. are resting"
"I'll go to the Rising Sun Hall to have a look, if I don't wake up my father and mother, I don't want to take a look, I'm uneasy." Tong Xue raised her feet and walked outside the house.
Cai Qing hurriedly lit a lantern and followed up.
The courtyard was quiet, and even the cries of night insects seemed to have subsided a lot.
Tong Xue frowned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
The courtyard door was locked, and the two mothers-in-law fell to the door one left and one right, their heads bowed, and they were snoring.
"Zhang Er's family, Mrs. Li, wake up!" Cai Qing bent down and shook the shoulders of the two.
However, the two of them just fell asleep, how could they look like they were going to wake up.
Cai Qing couldn't, so he had to pinch the noses of the two to wake them up.
"The girl is going to the Rising Sun Hall, open the door quickly!"
When the two mothers-in-law saw Tong Xue and Cai Qing, they were also shocked, and they hurriedly listened to the instructions, took out the key and opened the door.
When they opened the door, they remembered that the door of the courtyard had been locked, and they could not open it until they were idle.
"The old slave dared to ask, I don't know why the eldest girl went to the Rising Sun Hall so late?" The corners of his mouth were still flowing with the seal of Hadazi's family, squeezing a smile and asking with a flattering expression.
Since Lu's pregnancy, Tong Xue has helped the housekeeper, and earlier there was Song's mother on the side to help with ideas, and now in addition to human contacts in the house, Lu handed over all matters to Tong Xue, Tong Xue also did a good job, it was because these slaves in the house saw her, and their demeanor became more and more respectful.
"I had a nightmare and wanted to find my mother." Tong Xue said the same rhetoric as Fang Cai.
The mother-in-law guarding the door was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, and seemed to not know how to reply.
"I'll go and come back, and I won't be delayed for long." Seeing this, Tong Xue said earnestly.
Cai Qing has been serving by Tong Xue's side for a long time, and knows that she has her own way of doing things, so she also helped on the side, "Two sisters-in-law, look, this door is open, please make it convenient for the two of you." ”
"Girl, please! Girl, please! The two men were also accustomed to observing words and feelings, and hurriedly retreated to both sides and moved out of the way.
Tong Xue and Cai Qing have a kind attitude towards them, and they should give them more respect.
Tong Xue nodded to the two gatekeepers, and rushed to the Rising Sun Hall with Cai Qing.
Along the way, I met several teams of guards patrolling the house, and the team leader knew Tong Xue, so he didn't feel embarrassed, so he let her walk unimpeded to the Rising Sun Hall.
When she arrived outside the gate of the Rising Sun Hall, Tong Xue said a basket of good words, and coaxed the two gatekeepers to open the door.
After Tong Xue arrived at the Rising Sun Hall, she did not go to the bedroom to find Lu's, but took Cai Qing and knocked on the door of the side room where Tong Shuang was placed.
"Girl?" Cai Qing was puzzled, didn't Tong Xue come to find the Lu family.
"I'll take a look at my sister first, and then I'll look for my mother when she wakes up." Tong Xue turned around and explained, raising her hand "dong dong dong" and began to knock on the door.
After three knocks, and after a while, there was not a single sound in the room.
"Knock knock!" Tong Xue knocked hard three more times, and the expression on her face became grim.
"Girl?" Cai Qing called her cautiously, I don't know if it was affected by the condensation aura emanating from Tong Xue's body, and she also had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Why did the girl come here at this time?" At this moment, Mother Song, who heard the little girl's advice, rushed over with a hastily tied bun.
"I miss my sister." Tong Xue replied without looking back, raised her hand again, and knocked on the door with "dong dong".
There was still no reaction inside.
"Mom, please find two strong mothers-in-law for me." Tong Xue put down her reddened hand, turned around, and said to Mother Song with a solemn expression.
Mother Song didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to Mom, the girl knocked on the door three times, but there was no movement inside!" Cai Qing replied on the side.
Mother Song's face changed immediately.
"I arranged a vigil for Lingzhi and Muzhi, how could it be!" even forgot to call herself an "old slave", which shows that she is in turmoil.
"The old slave is looking for someone!" Mother Song was only flustered for a moment, then returned to normal, and hurriedly went to find two strong mothers-in-law.
The two of them slammed into the door with all their strength, but they didn't want to pounce on it, but there was only a square table in the door, and it was not latched!
Tong Xue snatched the lantern from Cai Qing's hand, stepped over the two thick women, and ran towards the inner room with her feet raised.
"Poof!" The lantern fell to the ground, and she was stunned a foot away from the bed.
The bed was empty, and there was nothing!
