After the third watch, the weather in Chang'an City changed suddenly, and the strong wind brought dark clouds, which soon covered the bright stars. There was a faint thunder rolling in the heavy dark clouds, and it was frighteningly low.

At this moment, a carriage suddenly appeared on Anle Street, and judging by the dust of the horses and the painful creaking of the axles, it could be concluded that it was a carriage that had traveled a long distance from outside the city.

The coachman was dozing off with the reins, when he heard the dull sound of thunder, and suddenly came to his senses, urging the horses to hurry up.

In the carriage, the little lotus girl who appeared first just opened the curtain and looked at the weather, and then complained with a crossed waist: "What the hell is the weather, Miss just came back and changed." Bad luck! ”

There was another sound in the car, which was soft but clean, and it didn't drag on the water.

"Quiet, I want to rest."

"Oh." Xiaolian answered, feeling depressed, holding her cheeks and not talking.

The wind blew open half of the curtains, and the only glimmer of moonlight shone through the half-pointed jaws deep inside the carriage. A slender little hand gently supports it, and you can imagine the lazy appearance of the woman lying on her side in the car.

Xiaolian was silent for a few seconds, took a breath, and was about to speak when she was interrupted.

"Quiet."

"Oh."

The carriage was finally quiet.

Early this morning, Xiaolian received the news that the young lady's carriage was about to arrive in Beijing, so she left the city and waited for a whole day at the post house outside the city.

I held back my stomach and wanted to tell the eldest lady, but the eldest lady refused to let me, which made Xiao Nizi so depressed.

The eldest lady of the Sai family is called Sai Jiangnan, and the second day after the Sai family died of illness, she left home and went to Jingzhou, and she has not come back until now.

was a girl in her prime, but she had to leave home for two months to talk about business with some old men.

Perhaps from the moment she left home, she was destined to be different from other women, seeing that the door was in front of her, Sai Jiangnan could not see the slightest joy on her face, only sleepiness and tiredness.

The clouds grew thicker, and the thunder became more frequent.

The lantern at the main entrance of Saijia was blown to the left and right by the wind, and the door was closed.

"Go through the back door."

Sai Jiangnan shouted lightly.

The coachman answered, turned his horse's head and went to the back door.

It only takes half a minute to go around the back door, because the people live in the backyard, and the thunder is ringing at the moment, and if you knock at the front door, it may not be heard.

The back door is next to the alley, there are no lights, and you can only rely on the slight night to see the direction.

Just as the carriage was about to reach the back door, the thunder suddenly stopped.

Coincidentally, at the moment when the thunder alternated, there was a creak of the door opening.

At this moment, the location of the carriage is next to the courtyard wall of the Saijia's backyard, and the front and back are well-known as neighbors, and the only place with a door is the Saijia's back door.

Fang Cai's voice could only have come from there.

Sai Jiangnan sat up, lifted the sedan curtain and poked his head out to look out: "Can you see someone?" ”

The coachman smiled: "Miss, what time is it, how can there be people here?" ”

"What about the door?"

"The sound of the door?"

"Hey, forget it, I guess I misheard."

Sai Jiangnan retracted into the sedan chair and was about to close his eyes, when Xiaolian suddenly spoke: "Miss, you heard it right, I heard it just now." I guess it's the cook I told the lady about. He definitely had a problem with the young lady, who was in the back garden that day......"

"Quiet."

"I was in ...... that day"

"Quiet."

"Oh."

……

The return of the eldest lady of the Sai family did not affect the rest of the Sai family, and even the eldest lady did not wake up.

Everything was very flat, like a drizzle of rain hitting the water, and the ripples were just for a moment.

Saijiangnan's boudoir has not been inhabited for a long time, although it is often cleaned, but the bed has not yet been arranged.

"Xiaolian, you all know that I'm coming back, why haven't you cleaned up the room yet?"

Xiaolian knew that she was derelict in her duties, so she lowered her head and muttered: "I thought Miss would arrive in the morning." ”

"Alright, alright, make the bed for me."

Xiaolian didn't say much, and honestly began to make the bed. Sai Jiangnan sat on the side, opened the window, and suddenly felt that everything in the house had become strange.

The raindrops fell at this moment, and they hit the bluestone road outside the house. After a while, the sound of rain became the main theme of the world, and another heavy rain quietly came in people's sleep.

The howling raindrops brought a cool breeze, blowing on Saijiangnan's cheeks to dispel her tiredness.

This is a girl who is known as the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, with a face that cannot find any flaws, the indifference of the expression is not as charming as Wu Ruyi, and the calm naturally reveals a pleasant feeling like a spring water, as if just looking at her face will make people feel happy.

But even if Meiguan Jiangnan, the tiredness on her face at the moment still made her lose three points.

Xiaolian, who was making the bed on the side, turned her head and secretly glanced at Miss, twisting her brows and unable to connect the young lady at this moment with the previous miss, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, why does Xiaolian think that you are not the same as before?" ”

Sai Jiangnan raised his hands, gently pressed his middle finger against his temples, and replied in a low voice while rubbing them: "Let you face all kinds of foxes every day, and you will also change." ”

"Fox? Didn't the lady go to talk about business? How did you go to catch a fox? ”

The corners of Sai Jiangnan's mouth rose and he shook his head silently.

Xiaolian saw that Miss was willing to talk to herself, so she hurriedly said: "Miss, Ah Huang died so miserably, you have to avenge him!" That wicked cook......"

"Enough. It's not that the person has left the Sai family, since he has left, don't mention the previous things again. ”

"Miss, you've really changed. Ah Huang is our best partner, how can you ......"

Xiaolian didn't finish her words, and Sai Jiangnan suddenly raised her hand seriously: "Shhh ”

Xiaolian had never seen such a serious expression from the young lady, so she was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.

Sai Jiangnan squinted his eyes, shrewdly like a black cat in the night: "Listen, is someone screaming?" ”

"Huh? There was only rain outside, ......" and before she finished speaking, Xiaolian was stunned, because a clearer scream came, "Really...... Someone is really shouting! ”

Immediately afterwards, there was movement in the courtyard of the Saijia, and one after another people rushed into the rain in pajamas.

Sai Jiangnan quickly got up, took the umbrella behind the door and left the room.

Xiaolian dropped the quilt and hurriedly followed: "Miss, wait for me!" ”

……

More and more people are waking up from their sleep, everyone is rushing into the rain in a panic, and no one knows what is happening. But we all know that the scream just now is not simple! This is not a scream that can be made when encountering ordinary things, only a big thing can make people scream so badly.

The screams of the Sai family echoed, and the sound of the rain could not be suppressed.

Everyone in the Sai family searched for the sound, and finally stopped at the door of the young master of the Sai family.

The young lady fell to the door in disheveled clothes, her face was bloodless, trembling as if she had lost her soul, and the first words she knew from her mouth were: "The young master is dead." ”
