In addition to the main door, there are more than a dozen windows on three walls in the workshop, which are larger than ordinary people's windows, which were originally used for summer ventilation, but now they are closed all day with ice.

But, if it is......

Gu Qingzhu's mind moved slightly, covered his forehead with his hand, looked at the lattice of the rhombic window, thought for a while, and continued to bury his head in reeling, after about half a cup of tea, the other girls also came back one after another, but they were not like before, they did not do work when they came, but gathered together and talked mysteriously.

"Have you heard?" A fat girl whispered.

"What?" The other younger, for some reason, asked.

"There is a big white cat hidden in our workshop, and it walks around on the roof on a full moon night, sucking people's souls, do you know why the third master suddenly stopped coming? It is said that it was sucked into the spirit, resulting in the incompleteness of the three souls and seven spirits, and now the whole person is wasted, like a fool! The fat girl said with a flutter of eyebrows, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"So miserable! Don't scare me, why didn't I see or hear? A squinting girl asked with a hard glare.

"That's a demon cat, where can ordinary people see it, if you really saw her, you would have been dead a long time ago, how can you still speak and tell others!" The fat girl's words are conclusive and irrefutable.

"It's horrible! Wouldn't I be able to go to the toilet in the middle of the night? The young girl covered her mouth in horror.

"I can't tell you to eat less on weekdays, if you are bitten by a big cat in the middle of the night, I can't save you!" The squinting girl said with a look of disgust.

Another older girl couldn't see it, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't believe her nonsense, just be careful around the night of three or five, the rest of the days are not what to do." ”

"Ah, it's terrible, it's fifteen today!" The squinting girl counted the days with her fingers, and her face changed suddenly.

Her words frightened the young one even more, and she said in a loud voice: "My mother, I ...... I'm not eating tonight! ”

……

Gu Qingzhu was reeling silk, his ears were filled with the frightened muttering of a few girls next to him, and as far as he could see, there were groups of girls in other parts of the workshop gathered together to whisper.

But her back is very quiet, Jia Min and Peng Zhuzhu, who are usually the most noisy, didn't say a word today, only the sound of the monotonous cycle of their feet, their abnormality, revealing inexplicable eccentricity.

Mama Guo didn't seem to know about this terrible rumor, she stepped into the workshop, and when she saw the commotion, she covered her handkerchief and coughed.

But this rumor is like a whirlpool undercurrent, causing a great shock among the girls, sweeping everyone into it, as long as Mama Guo is not paying attention, the girls will get together, exchange the news they get, and when her stern gaze sweeps, they immediately stopped talking, and turned to work in a fake way.

Throughout the afternoon, the girls in the workshop did not do anything serious, so when the scales were passed in the evening, except for Gu Qingzhu's silk ingots, the others were more or less less than usual, and Gu Erni, Jia Min, and Peng Pearl were actually a little more than yesterday, and they didn't know how proud they were for a while.

Mama Guo does not doubt that there is him, but it is hot weather, and the girls are deliberately lazy, after all, in such a hot season, standing is sweating, fortunately, the cocoons harvested before are almost used up, and now they can do as much as they can do every day, and the completion is just a day earlier and a day later, so she scolded two sentences and just did it.

After dinner, Gu Daya, who couldn't hold back her words, and the other three came to Gu Qingzhu, for fear of scaring Qingying, so she asked Zheng Zhaodi to take the little girl out to play.

"Qingzhu, did you hear the words from the workshop today?" Gu Daya asked in a low voice.

"Listen, it's colorful, it's like who's seen it, you must not believe this kind of deceitful nonsense, you have been fooled in vain!" Gu Qingzhu poured a bowl of water for each of them and said in a deep voice.

"How do you know? I was scared by them, the wire was always not well connected, but I was unlucky, I broke it three times, and I didn't make much money today. Gu Xiaohua poured a sip of water and muttered.

"Where are the demon cats they are talking about, it is clearly a ghost pretending to be a human, it is exactly fifteen today, if you are brave enough, go with me to catch ghosts, and see who is doing the demon." Gu Qingzhu sat down and smiled faintly, his eyes were clear.

"A ghost? Who? Why do you do this, is it fun to scare people? Gu Daya asked in surprise.

Gu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows: "I don't know which one, as for why, we can only wait for us to catch them and hand them over to Mama Guo to ask." ”

"They? More than one? Fang Ling quickly caught the key words in Gu Qingzhu's words, and asked with round eyes.

"Think about it, no one has mentioned today's events before, how can it appear out of thin air in just one day, and it can still spread in the workshop and make people panic, I'm afraid this is not something that one person can do." Gu Qingzhu picked up the small scissors and cut off the lanterns, and the flames flickered, and the room lit up.

"In this way, they spread rumors to trap people in their own rooms, so that they can do bad things outside without being discovered, but what bad things are they going to do?" Gu Xiaohua finally figured it out, but there were more questions waiting for her.

"Our weaving workshop now has nothing else except silk reeling, making up such a big rumor, naturally it is not a trivial matter, don't worry, if it is early, you will be able to see it in the third watch." Gu Qingzhu said confidently.

"Qingzhu, I'm not afraid anyway, we've always been together, you stay with Zhaodi to guard Qingying, where do you go, where do I go with you!" Gu Daya stood up and patted her chest.

Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling glanced at each other quickly, and said in unison: "Let's go too!" ”

"Since you are all going, then we will ...... like this" Gu Qingzhu lowered his voice and gestured on the table with a tea bowl.

"Okay, let's get ready." Several people listened to Gu Qingzhu's words, and they were extremely excited, and they went back to their respective rooms and quietly got busy.

On summer nights, the cicadas chirp for a while, the night breeze blows, and the branches of the trees sway, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

In the middle of the moon, the whole workshop slept quietly in the milky night, and the three figures quietly went out of the room in the backyard and tiptoed straight to the window of the west wall of the workshop.

As if they were coming and going, the three of them cooperated very tacitly, one stood on the shoulder of the other, opened a rhombic window lattice, and jumped into the workshop with familiarity.

The other did the same, and flipped over quickly, while the one who remained outside, apparently keeping an eye on the door, wore a long white cloak, and even her hair was tightly covered.

Thanks to her ability to endure the heat, she curled up in the corner of the wall and escaped a rumored huge white cat.

After a while, there was a sound of stones hitting the wall inside, and people outside also knocked three or five times.

Just as she was looking around the wall, two men silently rushed out of the shadows behind her, knocked her down, quickly gagged her with a piece of cloth, and then took off her cloak, tied her with a rope, and threw her into the shadows behind the trees beside her, to be guarded by another man.

At this moment, another person came from the shadows, she quickly put on her cloak, picked up a stone on the ground, and rhythmically knocked on the wall of the workshop, and soon, Ying He came from inside, and the other two quickly hid in the corner of the gable.

"What's going on?" The lattice was lifted, and a muffled, angry voice came.

The white-cloaked man was tightly covered, and she didn't say anything, only pointing her finger in the direction of the backyard.

A long knife was thrown from the window with a cold glow, and a rope was tied to its hilt, and the man in the white cloak carefully collected it and set it aside.

"It's not enough to succeed and more than to lose, what a good opportunity today is, it's almost cut off, if it's okay today, see how I clean you up!" With the sound of swearing, the man slowly crawled out of it.

"You're stupid, don't follow me!" The man had nowhere to put his feet on it, and he kicked in mid-air.

At this moment, the two people hidden by the gable rushed out, grabbed her feet and dragged her, and the person in the white cloak accurately gagged her, "Hmm! With a quick and short sound, she was stuck in her throat, and before she could resist, she was already tied up like a rice dumpling.

As soon as the two of them dragged her to the corner, the window lattice rang again, and another person came out.

She was very cautious, leaned out most of her body and looked down, and saw that there was only one person in a white cloak below, and couldn't help muttering: "I knew that she was unreliable, and when she encountered something, she slipped faster than a mouse!" ”

The white cloak didn't say a word, only nodded very seriously, and beckoned to her, signaling her to come down quickly, the hood of the cloak was very large, and the whole face was covered, and the person on the window could not really see the bottom, only her movements.

"You can take me." Flipping through the window, the man slowly slid down.

"Okay!" The white cloak spoke suddenly.

Thump! The person who climbed over the wall slipped in horror and fell directly from the high wall, slumping on the ground, and the two men grabbed the rope around the corner and walked towards her, tying up the person who was unable to resist.

"No, no, no, Gu Qingzhu, you can't do this!" Gu Erni said in a trembling voice.

"You have the ability to compare silk reeling with me, pretending to be a ghost, and destroying the machine!" Gu Qingzhu took off his white cloak and threw it in her face, and said contemptuously.

"Didn't you think that way to me? It's a pity that the old witch only believes in you, what do I compare with you! Under the moonlight, Gu Erni's face turned pale and said.

"What people want to win is only themselves, even if it is the same for reeling silk, you don't practice hard, you just want to complain about the heavens and others, and even use your mind in this kind of indiscriminate place, it's too embarrassing to lose the face of Gu Jiaao!" Gu Qingzhu said angrily.

"Gu Qingzhu, if I have another chance, I will definitely be able to win you!" Gu Erni stared at her blood-red eyes and shouted hysterically.

"Eat things outside the grill, it's too late for you to say this now, there will be no chance in the future!" The lights around were suddenly bright, and Mama Guo appeared with more than a dozen doormen carrying lamps.

"Mama!" Gu Qingzhu turned his head and said in surprise.
