That night, Zhuang Sheng reviewed the accounts in the account room after dinner, and there was a pile of account details on the counter in front of him. Zhuang Sheng did this kind of thing for the first time, it was inevitable that there were many difficulties, this month, the details of the use, had to be checked one by one, all kinds of accounts were chaotic, he only looked at it for a while and fell asleep, half-asleep and half-awake, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "In 1912, in February, Yuan Shikai forced the Qing Emperor Puyi to abdicate, and the Qing Dynasty collapsed. He was awoken.

Yun Yun sat aside, figuring over these old accounts, and frowned.

"What's wrong? Elder brother. Yun Yun asked.

Zhuang Sheng didn't answer, his eyes widened, and he thought distractedly, "The fall of the Qing Dynasty will inevitably affect a mansion like ours. ”

Zhuang Sheng tried to think of something more, but he couldn't, and the memories that existed were blurred.

"How so?" He thought to himself, "My mind will flash through what will happen in the future, and it is unpredictable!" ”

"Brother...... Are you okay? Yun Yun handed him a cup of tea.

Zhuang Sheng drank it with a grunt, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's okay." ”

"It must be busy these days, take a few days off, I can try to do these things." She said.

"How can you let you do these things, this also seems that I, the eldest brother, is too incompetent."

Yun Yun smiled and said nothing.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed too," Zhuang Sheng stood up and asked again, "Is Dad asleep?" He hasn't been in good health lately, and it's not easy to sleep, so if you go and take a look, don't come over. ”

Yun Yun dropped the accounts, Zhuang Sheng came out of the account room and returned to his bedroom, and Luo'er took care of everything to prepare for the young master to sleep. "No matter what, you have to be prepared," Zhuang Sheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep, he thought, "It's November now, time is running out, we need to think of a way sooner." ”

I don't know how long it took for the long night, but it was still dark.

"Knock...... Knock knock" Zhuang Sheng heard a series of sounds, as if they were coming from his room, he suddenly opened his eyes, and only the faint moonlight sent a ray of light to the room.

Zhuang Sheng looked at the door, there was no figure, he got up and sat down, looked around, it was dark, but he didn't find anything abnormal. When he was confused, the sound of "knock ......" sounded continuously. It was like coming from the depths of the earth, so far away and hollow that he didn't even dare to think about it, his heart was already pounding.

"Luo'er, Luo'er—" Zhuang Sheng shouted.

"It's coming—"

Luo Er heard it in the ear room next door, hurriedly got up and ran in with the lamp, lit the candle, and even Yun Yun across the courtyard wall was also awakened, because of some strange things, and because of fatigue for days, so sensitive, always worried about what happened, I wanted to go and see, another small bed across the curtain is her little girl Jun'er, after being awakened, I saw that the young lady got up to go, because of superstition some folklore, saying that the rich and noble people have little ghosts to follow, and they are attached to them late at night to make them sick, which is the exclusive "rich disease" of the rich and nobleJun'er hurriedly dissuaded her, thinking that she was not afraid of these poor girls, so she went to see it herself.

There were also two Ben who were dozing off at night, and they were startled when they heard the shouting, and ran over to look.

But when they all came in, there was no movement underground.

These two middle-aged men on duty at night were full of resentment, thinking that this young master had been a fool since he was a child, and he was timid and timid, so he was just making a fuss and coaxing people.

Seeing this, Luo Er scolded sharply: "You are deaf, or you are sleeping to death, you haven't slept, you don't care about the night, so you don't hear the sound, I heard it, and it's weird and scary!" ”

The two were silent, unconvinced, and Zhuang Sheng didn't bother to pay attention to them, "Luo'er stays, you all go, go and go......" Zhuang Sheng said, saw Jun'er again, and asked, "Miss asked you to come and see?" ”

"Hmm."

"Go back, it's okay, I'm having nightmares."

Jun'er was silent and withdrew to tell Zhuang Yunyun.

After everyone left, Zhuang Sheng asked Luo'er, "Did you hear it too?" ”

"I didn't hear any sound, but your voice is quite scary, sir." Luo'er said with a grin.

"You little slippery man, you still know how to defend me." Zhuang Sheng said seriously, "But I'm not lying, there is really a voice underground." ”

Luo'er looked at the floor, stepped on it a few times, it was very strong, he knew that Zhuang Sheng sometimes chattered, and he didn't fight with him much, "Don't do bad things, are you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door?" Even if you sleep, we won't stand in anyone's way, and the gods and ghosts won't be able to embarrass us. He said.

The underground was silent, and Zhuang Sheng couldn't explain it, so he said helplessly: "That's it, you can go down too, it's really strange." ”

Luo'er kept watch for another quarter of an hour, but the voice did not sound again, and it was after midnight that Zhuang Sheng fell asleep.
