Chapter 34: Dreams
Cai Ling recently loves to run to Bao and Lin, not to visit Wei Wei who is recuperating in the hospital, nor to meet the prince by chance, just for Yuan'er. The child has been having nightmares recently, and when he was serious, he suffered from "maze", and he slept until midnight and suddenly went out to walk around, fortunately, Dongxi Lou did not turn off the lights at night, and the little two quietly followed him, and only when he was paralyzed on the ground, he carried it back to the house. After returning to the house and sleeping for less than half an hour, he muttered "Brother Song, Brother Song" in his mouth, and then kicked his legs profusely, unable to wake up no matter how he screamed, as if he was haunted by nightmares.
On the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, I always felt cautious when I heard the sound of "Brother Song", the child died in a young man, and he was somewhat resentful, so he repeatedly entrusted his dream to Yuan'er. The full moon persuaded Cai Ling to find a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts, but Cai Ling thought that everything in the world had cause and effect, and the most credible person was a doctor, so he arranged for Yuan'er to take a day off from school, and came to Jiang Taichang for advice.
"Hello Grandpa Jiang." After Yuan'er entered the house, he made a gesture, which was very polite. Cai Ling looked left and right and didn't feel that the child had a mental problem, so she asked too often, "I don't know if there is a solution to the mystery." ”
Taichang didn't reply, only twisted his beard and looked at it for a while, and then said, "The pulse is stable, and all aspects are normal." He asked Yuan'er with a pleasant face, "What have you seen recently?" ”
"Recently, Brother Song always comes to the backyard of the academy to play with me. Once, he threw a kemari and rolled it to my feet, and I ignored him, but when I thought it was his favorite kemari, I went to him with the ball, but he ran away. The next day, I came again, and I went to look for it again, and he ran away. I can always see it at night, but the face is very blurry and I can't see it really. Yuan'er replied very seriously.
Cai Ling only felt a chill on her back and unconsciously pulled up her clothes.
"Who is Brother Song?" Too often asked.
"My uncle's child." Yuan'er pouted, "But I don't like to play with him." ”
"The boy died of smallpox." Cai Ling couldn't help but whisper in Taichang's ear.
"Auntie, what did you say?" Yuan'er couldn't really hear it.
Cai Ling was anxious and persuaded: "My aunt said that maybe you were wrong." ”
Yuan'er was not mistaken. I know the red robe that Brother Song loves to wear. Yuan'er fought hard. Cai Ling saw that he was anxious and wanted to talk to Taichang in private, so she said to the child kindly: "Hao Yuan'er, go to the yard to play for a while." ”
Yuan'er jumped out, and Cai Ling asked, "Shouldn't this kid really be stunned?" ”
I often think about it for a long time, "I am physically fine, but I guess it is a heart disease." Heart disease also requires cardiac medicine. ”
The two discussed for a while, and Cai Ling decided to talk to Yuan'er immediately after returning to Dongxi Building, and told him what happened to Liangsong. Knowing the reason, this child should be able to understand her suffering.
Pushing open the door, I saw that the herbs drying in the yard had been knocked over two baskets, and in a hurry, I couldn't find Yuan'er everywhere. He Yue came from outside the courtyard at this time, still holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, "Yuan'er, Master bought you the ...... you like" Seeing Cai Ling's frightened eyes, the words stopped at his lips. Cai Ling asked, "What about Yuan'er?" ”
"Didn't you follow your sister?" He Yue expressed many concerns. Cai Ling's heart was already beating the drum, and she thought that He Yue was waiting for his aunt and nephew in the courtyard, so she asked Yuan'er to go out of the house, so the child was nowhere to be found.
The little people who liked to play hide and seek in the past wouldn't hide in this heavy house, or did Brother Song's unjust soul really come to ask for his life? Cai Ling didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly looked around in the courtyard.
After a moment of searching to no avail, Cai Ling and He Yue decided to go to the city separately to find it, and Bao and Lin's masters continued to search in the courtyard. Cai Ling went to the east, looking hard along the corner alley, seeing that the children in front of him were about the same height, he hurriedly ran over, saw that it was not, and his heart was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Shen Muchi said: It is not easy to take children. It was only now that she doubted whether she was really up to the job.
After the crowd of "Little Four ......", someone hurried over and grabbed her shoulders.
Shen Muchi was right in front of her, she was completely bent on looking for the child, but when she suddenly saw him, her nose was sore, and tears were about to fall, so she tried her best to endure it, "I lost Yuan'er." ”
"Don't worry." He took her into his chest, and his gentle voice was like the gurgling of a mountain stream, which was extremely soothing, "Let's look for it together." ”
At this time, a carriage galloped by, the two copper flower bells on the carriage made a jingling sound, Cai Ling remembered that day to take the original Mingyue's car to Qiu's house, her heart was uneasy, sitting in the car always heard the bell outside the car jingling, like a soundtrack, she deliberately looked at the two bells when she got on the car. I can't think of it at a glance, but I remember it. She muttered, "The car of the good house." ”
"I need to go to Liangfu." Whenever something happens, she looks forward to Yuan'er running back to Liangfu by herself.
"Get on the horse." After only a few steps, Shen Muchi drove a jujube red horse and leaned over to pull her.
Gu had to be embarrassed, she stretched out her hand, and Shen Muchi pulled her onto the horse and sat in front of her. He took hold of the reins with both hands, wrapped her in front of him, and was about to ride his horse forward. Cai Ling suddenly said, "Wait a minute." She raised her hand to take off the beaded hairpin, golden hairpin and step shake on the bun, hid it around her waist, and said, "Okay." ”
The bun was untied, and it could not stand the wind, and it soon fell apart, and she divided her long hair into two parts and hung down on her chest, feeling that it was very embarrassing to describe it like this, but she was even more reluctant to let those sharp objects hurt the people behind her.
The gate of Liangfu was closed, and the main branch guarding the door was reluctant to pass it on to her, and later heard that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who accompanied her.
The old man of the Liang family came to greet him in person, knelt down on one knee and arched his hand, "The mansion is slightly cold, I don't know that His Highness is here in person, and I am unforgivable." ”
Shen Mu was silent, and Cai Ling had already helped him up, "The good old man is fine." I wonder if Yuan'er has ever been to your mansion? ”
"Jiang Moyuan?" The good old man said with a straight face, "Didn't that kid follow you?" How did you come to the Mansion to ask for someone? When the child is safe, I didn't see you take him back to meet his grandparents, the child had an accident, and you thought of the mansion for the first time, I am really fortunate to be someone! After finishing speaking, he sneered a few times.
The prince, who was originally silent, suddenly turned pale, and as soon as his eyes arrived, Cai Ling said with a pleasant face: "What the good master said is true!" Cai Ling will not bother. "It's hard to hear, but it's reasonable. Recently, the etiquette has not been thoughtful, and I have never brought Yuan'er back to thank Liangfu for the nurturing grace, and I can't bother it recently.
She pulled Shen Muchi's sleeve and walked down the stone steps, and suddenly heard the little slave in the mansion crying "Master", and when she turned back, the Zhu Door was closed, and she couldn't see what was happening in the mansion.
"Do you think Yuan'er has been special lately?" Shen Muchi led the horse and lowered his eyes to ask.
"Yes." She suddenly remembered something, "That kid always said that Brother Song was coming to him!" Combined with the attitude of Master Liang, who tried his best to cover it up, she had already guessed that this matter must be related to Liangfu, but who would harm a little child in the name of a dead person? Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw a woman in scarlet clothes rushing out of the alley, she should have run too quickly, and gasped slightly after stopping. "His Royal Highness the Prince." The fluttering figure, the salute is like a ceremony, and the beautiful voice is full of ears.
"Bright Moon." Cai Ling said in frustration, "I lost Yuan'er again." ”
"Sister, don't worry." Mingyue comforted, glanced at the prince again, and then said in a low voice: "I probably know whose hands Yuan'er is." ”
Cai Ling was overjoyed, and hurriedly held Mingyue's arm, her strength was a little too strong, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and the prince took Cai Ling's hand away, "Don't worry, listen to her." ”
Mingyue glanced at the prince gratefully, her cheeks were like dewed begonias, "My sister-in-law has disappeared recently, and she was like a madwoman before her disappearance, and she always likes to wear Song'er's red clothes on the straw man, and she is pitiful to the pain of losing her son in this mansion, and she is connived." But it's getting more and more strange lately.,Always go out early and return late.,Sometimes I still hold Song'er's love to bow.。 I sent someone to follow her yesterday, only to find out that she had gone to the White Horse Academy. Today I went to Dongxi Building to look for my sister, but they said that my sister was not there, and I heard that Yuan'er was missing as soon as I came back. If my sister guessed correctly, this matter must be related to my sister-in-law. ”
"Where will Sister-in-law Liang go?" Cai Ling hurriedly asked.
Mingyue thought for a while, shook her head and said, "The eldest sister-in-law's family has a dart game in Kanto, and there are no extra relatives in Chang'an City. My sister really couldn't figure out where she was going with Yuan'er. ”
"Get on the horse!" Shen Muchi seemed to have an idea, and put Cai Ling on the horse with his waist, and then turned over and got on the horse, and the horse's hooves clattered and disappeared around the corner.
She didn't ask, she just knew that if he had an idea in mind, she would go with him.
Out of the city gate, the scenery along the way is a little familiar, she thought about it and knew that this was the way to the Liangfu Beijing suburb courtyard, how did she not think about it, this place is remote, it is a good place to commit crimes. I was already worried in my heart, and in the wind whistling, Shen Muchi said, "I'm just guessing, if the person is not here, it's not too late for us to ask the old man of the good family." ”
