Chapter 421: Like a Dream
Lin Mumu looked around again in disbelief, this place was indeed the same scene as she saw, but the cobwebs and dust covered with those straw and paper figures looked like they had not been touched for a long time.
Looking at this place, she remembered that it was the basement that she climbed in with Nangong Zun from the mouth of the well, but now she took a serious look, the walls here are all made of yellow mud, because of long-term erosion, the walls have turned dark gray, and a small window has been opened above the house, which is probably to protect against the cold wind in winter, although it is dim and dilapidated, it will definitely not be underground.
Lin Mumu shook her head, except for the things in her memory, she couldn't even remember anything else.
"I ...... How did I get here? ”
Mingyang was surprised when he heard this. "The county lord forgot? You said that lying in the house in the afternoon was a little boring, so you thought that you would walk around the village to breathe, and the lower official was worried about the safety of the county lord and followed the county lord all the way, but when the county lord was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he suddenly broke away from the lower official and the others, and when the lower official returned, the county lord was nowhere to be found, and later found the county lord here. ”
Mingyang frowned unconsciously when he thought of Lin Mumu's appearance when they first came in.
At that time, he and the prince heard that there was a movement in this farmhouse and rushed in, and as soon as they entered, they saw the county lord holding a dagger in his hand and gesturing there alone, but there was nothing around, and that scene was full of indescribable weirdness.
"You mean, I came out on my own?"
Mingyang nodded.
So there was no Nangong Zun coming to her at all? Could it be that everything was imagined by her?
Lin Mumu looked at Zhao Xuanling in a daze, and suddenly reached out and pinched his thigh. "Shhh It hurts, proving that she's not dreaming right now.
Zhao Xuanling frowned in pain when he saw her, and grabbed her hand. "Nonsense."
"Uncle Wang, I think something may be wrong with me."
"Don't be cranky, go back first."
In the next moment, Zhao Xuanling picked her up horizontally and walked out, Mingyang was stunned when he saw it, his lips buzzed and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
"County Lord, what's wrong?"
As soon as Zhao Xuanling returned to the village with Lin Mumu, he saw Nangong Zun coming out of a farmhouse.
Hearing this, Lin Mumu raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Zun, in fact, she was still a little reluctant to believe that everything she had experienced before was fake.
"The county lord is unwell, and this king will take her back for treatment as soon as possible."
Nangong Zun looked at Lin Mumu. "Didn't the prince say that the county lord's body is fine?"
"The illness is repeated, it's not early, the village is backed by a barren mountain, and the eldest prince should not walk around at night." After speaking, Zhao Xuanling hugged Lin Mumu and left.
Nangong Zun looked at the backs of the two and narrowed his eyes. "Why does this temple feel a little green on his head?"
The guards lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything, not to mention a little green, it's simply the Xichubei Xilun Prairie, okay!
Zhao Xuanling did not take Lin Mumu back to the courtyard where she used to live this time, but took her to the farmhouse where he lived.
The farmhouses in the village look similarly structured, and this one also has a well.
Zhao Xuanling put her on the bed, and was about to ask Mingyang to call the doctor, but was stopped by Lin Mumu.
Zhao Xuanling looked at her suspiciously.
"Uncle Wang forgot, if there are a few people in Xijing who can compare with me, I can be sure that there is no problem with my body." On the way back, she had already checked her pulse, and judging from the pulse, she was indeed fine.
"Aren't feeling any well?" Zhao Xuanling looked at her.
Lin Mumu shook her head. "Nope." Except for some weakness with insufficient qi and blood, there is really nothing uncomfortable.
"I'm hungry, this king asked them to make some porridge."
Lin Mumu nodded, she really felt a little hungry.
Soon, after the porridge was boiled and brought in, Lin Mumu ate two or three bowls in a row, and she felt warmer after the big bowl of porridge was in her stomach.
Zhao Xuanling saw that she started to fight after eating her eyelids, so he helped her lie down on the bed.
"Uncle Wang."
"Hmm."
Lin Mumu looked up at Zhao Xuanling who was sitting in front of the bed. "I feel like I've been a little abnormal for the past two days, and I've always had weird dreams."
Zhao Xuanling thought of how she woke up when she fell ill and stopped talking. "What did you dream about?"
"Some ghostly stuff, it's scary." She didn't really feel too scared, she just felt confused, but she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality. "Mingyang said that I went out of the courtyard by myself, but I don't remember it at all, in my memory, it was Nangong Zun who came out of that well and found me and said that he would take me to a place."
Zhao Xuanling's warm palm fell on her forehead. "Nangong Zun took you there?"
"Yes, it's him." Zhao Xuanling's eyes darkened.
"What happened?"
"There is a little girl like a dead man......" Lin Mumu slowly told Zhao Xuanling about the situation she had encountered several times, and Zhao Xuanling listened with the same expression.
"Uncle Wang, do you think I have hysteria?" She wondered if she was hallucinating because of too much pressure in her heart, as for where the pressure came from, she should know that her life was short, although she wanted to look down on life and death, but when she really knew her death, it was still a little difficult to accept.
Zhao Xuanling reached out and gently rubbed her frowning brows away. "You're just too tired, don't think about getting a good night's sleep, this king is here with you."
Lin Mumu looked at him with open eyes. "Will Uncle Wang always be here with me?"
Zhao Xuanling nodded.
Looking at Zhao Xuanling's straight back and feeling the breath on his body, Lin Mumu's nerves gradually relaxed, and he slowly closed his eyes.
In a few moments, she fell asleep.
Feeling her even breathing, Zhao Xuanling waited another two quarters of an hour before walking out of the room.
"Lord Wang." Mingyang had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Say it."
"The subordinates have already checked, and today the great prince of Western Chu has not left the farmhouse where he lives, let alone approached the house where the county lord lived before, and the subordinates of the well have also gone down to see, and there is no passage, it is an ordinary well."
"Go and bring the king's Dingkun lamp and light it in the lord's house."
Mingyang was stunned for a moment, and Dingkun lamp. "Is the prince saying that the county lord is likely to be bewitched by witchcraft?"
"It's very likely, light the Dingkun lamp first, and you are asking Wu Ze to secretly take the Broken Illusion Incense up the mountain to search, and let him be careful not to startle the snake."
Realizing that this matter was not so simple, Mingyang did not dare to delay and immediately received orders to investigate.
Mingyang asked Hui to send the Dingkun lantern over, lit it with incense, and as soon as the wick was lit, a stream of yellow green smoke floated out and gradually spread out in the house.
Zhao Xuanling stood in front of the bed, watching Lin Mumu's quiet sleeping face, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and her dark eyes gradually moved down to her slightly pale lips.
Lin Mumu unconsciously turned over and licked her lips gently, making her lips look moist and watery, like a freshly peeled lychee.
Zhao Xuanling gradually lost her mind, her throat moved, and her body slowly approached her......
"Lord Wang, Wu Ze has something to report."
Just when the two were only a palm away, Mingyang's voice sounded outside the door.
Zhao Xuanling suddenly came back to his senses, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes and he stood up, he settled down and turned around and walked out, Wu Ze was already waiting in the courtyard.
"What?"
"Lord Wang, my subordinates were ordered to go up the mountain to investigate, and found that there was a cemetery on the mountain that looked a little strange." Wu Ze stepped forward and said.
"What's weird?"
"The subordinates and others found that after dark, a woman in white went up the mountain to the cemetery, but the subordinates and others chased after the woman, but there was no trace of the woman."
If such a scene had been changed, he would have been scared a long time ago, but Wu Ze is the commander of the dark guard, and what he brought this time is the elite of the secret guard, and they don't know how much blood they have on their hands over the years, even if there are really ghosts who dare to be unfavorable to the prince, they will kill them.
Without this fear, many things can be seen clearly, such as the woman in white in the middle of the night, they can be sure that it is a living person, because they feel the breath on her body as they follow her.
"Disappeared in the graveyard?"
"Yes, because it was dark and I couldn't see the terrain clearly, my subordinates didn't let people come forward to search so as not to startle the snakes."
Zhao Xuanling nodded. "Send someone to keep an eye on that place, and send a message to Fang Zhou, asking him to come to see this king immediately."
Mingyang was stunned, Fang Zhou, the prince rarely saw him, he remembered that the last time was because the soldiers were ambushed during the battle with the Rong clan.
Mingyang will never forget how weird that war was, yes, it was weird, that time they were obviously able to repel each other before dawn, but when they stood halfway through, a burst of white smoke suddenly blew, because the white smoke had no smell When it first blew, they thought it was a thick fog, but who would have thought that after the white smoke, all the soldiers suddenly fought, and then Zhao Xuanling quickly found out that there was a problem with the white smoke, and immediately let the team retreat, but even so, they suffered heavy losses in that war, which was the most embarrassing since Zhao Xuanling led the army.
In the next few battles, such white smoke also appeared on the battlefield, each time it led to their defeat, and later Zhao Xuanling called Fang Zhou, I don't know what method he used, in the war afterwards, even if the other party released white smoke again, their soldiers were not disturbed again.
To this day, Mingyang has not figured out what was going on at that time.
"Yes, the subordinates immediately sent a message to Fang Zhou."
The morning light broke through, the golden light broke through the clouds, and the pale golden halo was refracted into the room through the tattered window paper.
Lin Mumu opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, she slept well last night, and the terrible little girl did not appear in her dreams.
The door was pushed open, and a maid walked in with hot water for washing.
"The county lord is awake."
Lin Mumu nodded.
"Where's the prince?" She slept in Zhao Xuanling's house last night, so where did Zhao Xuanling go?
