Chapter 7: Aunt Lan
Who would have thought that the magnificent and prosperous palace would have such a desolate place at night? Wang Dong got lost and stumbled like a headless fly, he was a lawyer and a staunch atheist, but when the "crossing" happened to him, it subverted his perception that the theory of ghosts and gods was nonsense.
Now, walking through this eerie courtyard, who knows if there is a pair of eyes staring at him in some dark corner?
Wang Dong was also quite nervous at the moment, and the method he used to relieve this tension was to walk, keep walking, for fear that as soon as he stopped, something would come out and lure him into the eighteenth layer of hell. It has been proven that when people are nervous, their senses become very sensitive. Suddenly, the autumn wind swept among the fallen leaves, and he heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind him, the footsteps were very light and slow, and every time the strange footsteps stepped on the ground, Wang Dong's heart would "bang".
There will be no ghosts, and there will never be ghosts in this world! Even though he said this to himself, he didn't even have the courage to turn around, and the sound of footsteps disappeared behind him.
Wang Dong's Adam's apple shook and made a "coo" sound. It may be a long time, or maybe it is just a moment, at the limit of fear turned into incomparable anger, Wang Dong turned around violently, he wanted to see what was behind him.
The fallen leaves under his feet made a dilapidated sound as Wang Dong turned around, and Wang Dong's eyes widened, but when he saw it, it was empty and pitch black. Finally, after determining that it was he who scared himself again, Wang Dong breathed a long sigh of relief, between the ups and downs, Wang Dong's body and mind were on a roller coaster, if he changed his heart to a bad ......
A long breath slowly exhaled from the depths of Wang Dong's body, Wang Dong only felt that all the pores of his body were extremely refreshing, in this breath seemed to be broken, the line was continuous, the upper breath had been weakened and the lower breath was out of breath, and when he wanted to vomit the old and accept the new, he suddenly stretched out a palm in the dark night air behind him, and then gently, gently patted Wang Dong's left shoulder twice.
"Ahh ――”
There was a scream in the dark night, and then a generation of god-like Comrade Wang Dong fainted, and his whole body fell straight to the rear, in front of him, there was a woman dressed in white and holding a child with a surprised face, but on the child's face at the moment was with a "fierce Zhang Fei" face, and in his hand, he was holding a small lantern, and the red light of the lantern shone on the child's face, exuding a bit of demony.
"Auntie, what's wrong with this person? Is it dead? ”
"Shhhh
……
It's another night, when Wang Dong woke up slowly, he immediately became nervous, where is he now? Last night...... What was that sudden appearance last night?
Wang Dong looked around nervously, but found that he was lying on a low bed at the moment, and a quilt was still draped over his body...... Last night's qiē, could it be all a dream? But if you think about it, it's not like that, what did you see last night?
Just as Wang Dong was sitting on the bed with his brows furrowed, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the room again, but at this time it was already bright and the sky was already bright, and Wang Dong was also afraid of something.
"Squeak......
The door was gently pushed open, Wang Dong hurriedly got up and got out of bed, and as soon as he sat on the edge of the bed, the person outside the door had already entered: "You are awake." ”
The person who came was carrying a bowl of things, steaming, and the person who entered the door was a middle-aged woman dressed as a woman in her thirties, although she was dressed plainly, she had a bit of luxury in her gestures.
"You are?"
"Hehe, you can call me Aunt Lan." The man called himself Aunt Lan, and after entering, he put the things he was holding on the table beside him, and then turned to look at Wang Dong, "By the way, which courtyard are you, why did you come here last night?" ”
"Me?" Hearing Aunt Lan ask Wang Dong like this, he remembered to ask, "That...... Can you please sue me first, how did I end up here? ”
"You don't know?" Aunt Lan's forehead was slightly furrowed, and the look between her eyebrows made Wang Dong feel so familiar, this ...... Where have you seen it?
Seeing Wang Dong shaking his head, Aunt Lan said, "Last night, you ran to my courtyard for no reason, but I didn't expect that when we met, you fainted to death." ”
"Last night...... You were the one I saw last night? The word "Wang Dong" was used indiscriminately, and it took Aunt Nalan to understand it for a while.
Aunt Lan replied: "Well, to be precise, there is one more person besides me. ”
"Who?"
As Zhang spoke, a child's shout came from outside the door: "A-Niang, A-Niang, where are you?" Boa is here. ”
A shout was accompanied by a dense sound of small footsteps, and then a small figure ran in from outside the door, and then plunged into Aunt Lan's arms to be coquettish. Wang Dong looked at Aunt Lan looking at him, and then glanced at the child in his arms with deep meaning, and couldn't help asking, "There was another person last night, was he?" ”
"yes, yes."
The child raised his head from Aunt Lan's arms as he spoke, and it was not until this moment that Wang Dong realized that there was a face mask on the top of the child's head, and this face, the more he looked at it, the more familiar Wang Dong felt, and finally, he remembered something......
"Original...... Hehe, I thought I saw the hell last night. Wang Dong smiled embarrassedly, he didn't expect to be scared to death by a face mask.
"Shame ......" Bao'er coaxed on the side.
Aunt Lan smiled slightly: "You are walking around the mansion, you must have just entered the mansion, right?" ”
Wang Dong shook his head, then nodded: "Sort of." "It's not that I was forced to sell myself, but it's also a helpless choice," by the way, Aunt Lan, here...... Where is it? ”
Aunt Lan said: "This is the backyard of the palace, and it is also the place where I live, few people come here on weekdays, how did you come here last night?" Saying this, Aunt Lan's eyes stared at Wang Dong, and there was a bit of expectation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for something.
Wang Dong was a little puzzled by Aunt Lan's eyes, but he still answered truthfully: "Because I am not familiar with the house, and the sky was gloomy last night, I disturbed Aunt Lan's rest, hehe......"
"Original...... That's right. ”
Hearing Wang Dong say this, Aunt Lan's face couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment, and then immediately covered it up and said, "Come, this is while it's hot, let's eat breakfast quickly." ”
"Oh, thank you."
Wang Dong thanked him, because he didn't have a wide coat last night, now Wang Dong didn't even have the trouble of dressing, got up and came to the table, looking at the bowl of paste-like things on the table, I don't know what ingredients are made of, to be honest, Wang Dong really didn't dare to eat it, but looking at Aunt Lan's concerned look, if she didn't eat, it would be too rude.
