It's not a dream, Liu Yong opened his eyes, and the sound of footsteps was in the yard. At this time, he, Su Erniang, and Niu Rong lived in the courtyard. Su Erniang lived in the downstairs room. Niu Rong lived in a small room at the back of the second floor. Only Liu Yong's room is transparent from front to back.

On a late summer night, the front window was open, and the sound of footsteps came in through the window. In the dark night, it was eerie and terrifying, and Liu Yong's scalp exploded when he listened, and his hairs stood on end.

Liu Yong settled his mind for a moment, and felt that the footsteps were louder. He got up, got out of bed with his shoes on, walked to the window, and peeked out into the courtyard.

The empty courtyard was not even a single figure in the dim starlight. At the same time, the footsteps disappeared.

"Is there really a ghost?"

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a soft squeak. It was the sound of the door opening, soft, soft, but still distinct in the silence of the summer night.

Liu Yong's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"What the hell is it?"

He wanted to go and see, "Then do you want to wake up Niu Rong?" He thought as he quietly walked out of the room. Even a ghost can't be alarmed.

A small flower hall outside the door. And the house where Niu Rong lives is next door to the flower hall. However, the door of the house is facing the door of the flower hall, that is, the hall on the second floor.

Liu Yong walked through the flower hall in the dark and came to the hall. There are six doors around the hall, and there are six large and small rooms. The big one is for the common family, and the small one is for the maids. And the room where Niu Rong lives is small. From now on, it will be his permanent room.

After that creak of the door opening, there was no more sound.

Liu Yong walked to Niu Rong's door and heard snoring inside. He thought about it, but it was better not to bother him. So he left the door and went to the westernmost staircase. The panes in the hall were also open, and a faint glow of starlight formed a misty halo on the ground. Shine a light on Liu Yong.

As soon as I reached the top of the stairs, I heard a few muffled bangs downstairs. Liu Yong was shocked and hurried downstairs. Halfway down, I saw a dark figure moving in the hall on the first floor.

"Who is it?"

Liu Yong involuntarily asked.

"Brother. I caught a thief. ”

It was Su Erniang's voice.

"Thief?"

Liu Yong staggered downstairs, feeling the fire fold and lighting a candle. walked to Su Erniang's side and saw a person lying on the ground, who turned out to be a woman in a pink shirt. The woman was knocked unconscious by Su Erniang, and she was motionless face down.

"Huh? How is it a woman? Su Erniang said in a daze.

"Turn it over and take a look." Liu Yong said.

Su Erniang bent down and turned the woman on the ground over. The two were shocked that this woman turned out to be Ma Miaozhen.

"How is she?" Su Erniang was puzzled.

But Liu Yong could only shake his head with a wry smile, and said secretly, "This horse girl is really a master of demons." I don't sleep in the middle of the night, and I pretend to be a thief and scary. ”

"Wake her up." Liu Yong said.

Su Erniang pinched people and made Ma Miaozhen wake up slowly.

"Liu Yong, Liu Yong, is that you?" Ma Miaozhen lowered her eyes and asked in a daze.

Su Erniang helped her to sit on the chair.

"It's me, how did you get here in the middle of the night?" Liu Yong asked.

"Liu Yong, Liu Yong." Ma Miaozhen said as she got up and threw herself into Liu Yong's arms and cried.

Liu Yong handed the candle in his hand to Su Erniang, patted Ma Miaozhen's back and comforted: "Miss Ma, don't cry, you can tell me if you have anything." See if I can help you. ”

Ma Miaozhen just cried, crying aggrieved and sad.

Liu Yong looked at Su Erniang and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Do people miss you?" Su Erniang said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, Miss Ma, don't cry, okay?" Liu Yong pushed Ma Miaozhen away from his arms, put his hands on her shoulders and said.

Ma Miaozhen wiped her tears and cried, "I miss you." Whining. He began to cry again.

"Look, I'm right, right?" Su Erniang smiled bitterly, "Okay, people miss you, then I won't bother here." After speaking, Su Erniang went back to her room to sleep with interest. But she couldn't sleep.

Liu Yong helped Ma Miaozhen sit down again.

"Miss Ma, do you think I don't have to come to me in the middle of the night?" He said.

"But people can't come out during the day?" Ma Miaozhen said aggrievedly.

"Why can't you get out?" Liu Yong was puzzled.

"You don't know, since we came back from Western Xia, my father locked me up and didn't let me go anywhere." Ma Miaozhen cried.

"Your father must be angry with you." Liu Yong said.

"Well, he's angry and I won't say goodbye." Ma Miaozhen said.

Liu Yong only smiled bitterly and said in his heart, "If I had such a daughter, I would be angry." ”

"I've been locked up for ten days." The more Ma Miaozhen talked, the more aggrieved she became.

"Okay, don't cry, you stay with me tonight for one night, and go back tomorrow, or your father will be worried again." Liu Yong said.

"No, I'm not going. When I go back, he's going to lock me up again. Ma Miaozhen said.

Liu Yong knew Ma Miaozhen's temperament, so he didn't persuade her, but said, "Okay, I'll find you a room to sleep in." ”

"No, I'm going to sleep with you." Ma Miaozhen is very direct.

"This, this is not good. There are so many rooms here, choose from you. Liu Yong said.

"What's so bad, it's not like we haven't slept together." Ma Miaozhen took Liu Yong's hand.

"Miss Ma, I'm a person who is going to get married. How can I sleep with a woman other than Rou'er? Liu Yong thought to himself, she probably didn't know that she was going to get married, so it was better to tell her first.

After listening to Liu Yong's words, Ma Miaozhen was immediately stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Liu Yong, you, what you said is true?"

Liu Yong nodded and said, "On the twenty-eighth of this month, it will only be ten days." ”

Hearing the exact date, Ma Miaozhen's heart was shocked, as if a thunderbolt sounded overhead. She suddenly grabbed one of Liu Yong's arms and asked eagerly, "What about me, what should I do?" Don't you want me? ”

When did I say I wanted her? Liu Yong was stunned.

"Liu Yong, you speak, you speak?" Ma Miaozhen's voice became louder.

Su Erniang listened halfway, and sweated for Liu Yong in her heart. She also knows Ma Miaozhen's temperament.

Liu Yong still didn't speak.

"I don't agree anyway." Ma Miaozhen finally said.

"I've already set a wedding date with Rou'er, and I can't change it. Miss Ma, can we still be good friends! Liu Yong said.

"I don't want to be friends with you, I want to be married to you." Ma Miaozhen said very firmly.

Liu Yong sighed in his heart, there were such arrogant women in ancient times, and he was really convinced. With Ma Miaozhen's reluctance, I know how difficult it is to get rid of her.

He had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "Then what do you say?" Am I going to go back on my word as a big husband? So how can I live in the world? ”

"This ......" Ma Miaozhen was stunned by Liu Yong's words. Although she is spicy, she is reasonable. She still understands the truth that the gentleman is difficult to chase.
