Chapter Seventy-Four: Frightened
"Actually, I'm resurrected, no, I'm not dead at all!"
Cao Ming thought to herself how to explain it, ancient people were very superstitious, and they definitely couldn't accept this reality.
The soldier didn't believe it and said: "You are on the fourth day from Bintian to now, even if you cheat to death, it will become a real death, who can live without eating or drinking for four days." ”
Cao Ming touched her forehead and said, "I have a body temperature and sweat, these ghosts don't have it, right?" ”
The armor took a look at it with a lantern, and found that Cao Ming's forehead was really sweaty, and he thought that Niangniang was still alive, and he had to report the matter.
The soldier turned his worries into joy and said, "This is really a happy event, I will take you into the city now." ”
"Wait a minute, nothing happened in the past few days, right?"
Cao Ming wanted to find out what had happened on this day, especially the people around her who heard the news of her death, whether they were happy or sad.
The soldier replied: "In the past few days, the imperial court has sent people to offer condolences, saying that it is deeply unfortunate that you have been assassinated, and that they will definitely send someone to severely punish the murderer." ”
Cao Ming thought it was funny and said: "They came really fast, as soon as I stepped into the coffin, they sent someone directly, and they really looked at others as fools." ”
Jia Shi added: "There is another matter, it seems that Cao Gong is coming to Wen County, saying that he is here to investigate the cause of your death. ”
"Is there anything else important?" Cao Ming felt that these things were not important, she wanted to know the reactions of other people, especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
The armor shook his head and said, "The rest of the things are unknown to the villain, and these words are still spoken by the villain." ”
Cao Ming nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me so much, but this funeral has to be continued, just when I am really dead." ”
"The little ones must do it!" Although the soldier did not understand Cao Ming's thoughts, the soldier's intuition told him that this matter must be kept tight-lipped, otherwise disaster will befall him.
The armor escorted Cao Ming all the way to the city, and at this time the city gate was closed, unless the people who entered and exited had tokens on them.
"Who are you two?" The officers and soldiers defending the city climbed on the city wall, and because it was too dark now, they could only see two figures vaguely.
The soldier shouted, "We are the ones in charge of guarding the mausoleum, and this brother is seriously ill and needs to go into the city to see the doctor." ”
The guard opened the gate and said, "I don't care what you want to do, if you have a token in your hand, you can enter, and if you don't have a token, you don't need to talk." ”
The armor took out a token from his waist and said, "Look carefully, this is given by the county magistrate, there is no problem, right?" ”
The guard glanced at the token and said, "There is really no problem with this token, but the one behind you, how does he look like a girl?" ”
"Like you, get out of the way!" The armor directly pushed away the guards, completely acting like I was an uncle.
The guard's anger erupted at once, and if it hadn't been for someone next to him, he would have been fighting with the armor soldier a long time ago.
The guard spat on the backs of the two and said, "Phew! Isn't it the one who guards the mausoleum, what's bullish! ”
The two of them walked quickly to the alley before stopping, they were almost exposed at the city gate just now, but fortunately the armor soldier reacted quickly.
Cao Ming took off the gold bracelet in his hand, handed it to the armor and said, "Thanks to your help along the way, this bracelet will be rewarded to you." ”
The armor man arched his waist and said, "Xie Niangniang's reward, the little one will go back first, I'm afraid that the brothers will be in a hurry." ”
Cao Ming pressured: "The benefits have been given to you, if my news is spread, you should know the consequences." ”
"You put your heart in your belly, and I'm sure I'll bring the news into the coffin."
The armor knew that this reward was not taken for nothing, and if he really said it, then the family would not be able to keep it.
After the armor returned, Cao Ming relied on his memory and groping, and finally came to the main gate of Sima Mansion.
At this time, the gate of Sima's Mansion was closed, the white cloth on it had not been removed, and there were many small lanterns lit outside the mansion.
Cao Ming knocked on the door hard, but no one came to open it for a long time, and it was estimated that the gatekeeper was asleep.
Cao Ming thought that since she couldn't knock on the door, she could only go to a nearby post house, and there were a lot of funeral decorations on her body, which could be used as accommodation expenses.
Just as Cao Ming was about to turn around, there was a noise from the door, and it seemed that someone was about to open the door.
"Who are you!" The housekeeper of Sima Mansion opened the door and stared at Cao Ming a few times with a tired expression, wondering how this woman was a little familiar.
Cao Ming said apologetically: "I used to live here, please help me find a maid, her name is Yan Ying." ”
"You, are you a mother?" The housekeeper's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and the person in front of him was not the queen, the woman who was sent to the mountain today.
Cao Ming complained: "You don't burn a paper maid for me, I'm alone over there, and now I can only come to the door to ask for it." ”
"I'm going to find her!" The housekeeper was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and ran back to call someone.
Cao Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's so funny!" There are no ghosts in this world, and not all of them are scary. ”
"Are there really no ghosts?" A voice sounded from behind Cao Ming, accompanied by a cool breeze.
"Who's there!" Cao Ming turned around and was stunned, a green-faced and fanged demon was standing behind him.
"There's a ghost!" A person and a ghost screamed at the same time, and Cao Ming suddenly collapsed to the ground, and her eyes fainted as soon as her eyes went black.
Cao Ming felt that someone was pushing him in his sleep, and when he woke up, he found that it was already dawn, and there was an old man he didn't know sitting next to him.
"Who are you?" Cao Ming's eyes were full of fear, and he remembered that he was stunned by the evil ghost, and he didn't know what happened after that.
The old man comforted Cao Ming and said, "I am the doctor of the medical hall, and the mother is just frightened, just rest for a few days." ”
"There are ghosts! Doctor, have you seen a ghost? Cao Ming looked around the room, except for the old man, there was only the maid Yanying.
Yan Ying grabbed Cao Ming's hand and said, "Niangniang, calm down, there is no one here except us." ”
Cao Ming recounted: "I remember seeing a green-faced ghost, and then I didn't know anything. ”
Yan Ying was a little angry and said: "It's all to blame on that Cao Zhen, if he wasn't wearing a mask, how could he scare you." ”
"Cao Zhen?" Cao Ming didn't understand Yan Ying's words, and Cao Zhen didn't go to sleep in the middle of the night, but pretended to be a ghost to scare herself.
Yan Ying explained, "He said that doing this would help you ascend to heaven, so he went and bought a ghost mask and then jumped around the courtyard all day. ”
"This kid, you must teach him a hard lesson!" Cao Ming's eyes were full of anger, I don't know if people are scared to death, how old they are and pretend to be ghosts.
