Chapter 413: I'll Tell You a Story
"Don't look for it anymore, the eldest lady is already gone......"
As soon as Qiao Qiao got up from the bed, he saw Ning Xiang, who had red circles under her eyes, walking in with a piece of letter paper in her hand.
"What? Gone, where did you go? Ning Xiang, don't talk nonsense! Qiaoqiao panicked and didn't dare to think deeply.
Stacked also looked at Ning Xiang with a calm face. "What's going on?"
Ning Xiang choked up and said: "This is a letter left by the eldest lady I found it on the eldest lady's dresser, the eldest lady stunned us that night and made us sleep until now, today is not the person who left the envoy of the Western Chu State at all, the eldest lady left three days ago!" ”
Stacking and Qiaoqiao took the letter paper in Ning Xiang's hand with ugly faces, and their faces immediately sank when they saw it.
Qiaoqiao's eyes turned red and cried. "The eldest lady doesn't want us anymore, she said that she would take us to Xichu together, but she left by herself."
The letter paper in his hand was also red. "Miss...... It's because you don't want to bother us. "No one knows what the outcome of Xi Chuxing will be, if this is a good thing, why didn't the princess who was obviously of the right age in the palace send it but let Lin Mumu go, which shows the hardships and dangers.
If she didn't take them there, she was afraid that if something happened at that time, she would not be able to keep them.
Ning Xiang said in a hoarse voice: "After following the eldest lady, my life is the eldest lady's, even if I die for the eldest lady, I am also willing, the eldest lady, the eldest lady is really bad, how can she leave us like this...... Woowoowoo......"
"I said that the eldest lady was so good, why did she let us choose a house in Xijing, and gave us the house, it turned out that she was afraid that we would not be able to gain a foothold in Xijing after she left, and this is to think about the back road for us."
"Let's chase it, and if we chase it now, we might be able to catch up." Qiaoqiao wiped away her tears.
"I can't catch up, it's been three days, unless I ride a thousand miles of treasure horses every day, I can't catch up at all, except for me and Ning Yuan, can you ride a horse? Even if we can ride, what if we catch up with the eldest lady and don't let us follow? ”
Hearing this, Qiaoqiao sat on the ground dejectedly. "Then what should we do, how can we watch the eldest lady go to Xichu alone to go on an adventure."
Stacked and looked at them. "I'll chase after you, you stay in the house to guard the house for the eldest lady, if the eldest lady comes back one day, at least there is a place to stay."
"I'll go with you."
Diedie's head turned around, and he saw Ning Yuan, whose eyes were bloodshot, standing outside the door, he was outside the door just now, he heard what they said, in fact, when he got up in the morning, he felt that something was wrong, he was usually tired, and he wouldn't sleep until that hour during the day, plus the weakness of his limbs made him even more suspicious, he was afraid that something would happen in the inner courtyard, so he rushed over after getting up, and just listened to the conversation between them.
Diedie's brow furrowed. "You stay to take care of Ning Xiang and them, how can you rest assured that there are only two girls left in a huge mansion?"
"We're fine, Sister Diedie, you can let your brother follow you." Ning Xiang said busily.
Stacked shook his head. "You all stay, I'll chase after you, don't say anything more, I'll pass a message to you when I catch up with the eldest lady, Ning Yuan, this house is the eldest lady's home, you must guard it for her!"
Ning Yuan looked at the stacks, and his brows were about to twist into Sichuan characters.
Seeing that he was silent, he continued: "If you and I both go, and something happens here when the eldest lady returns one day, how can we explain to her?" You, listen to me. ”
Ning Yuan pursed his lips and finally agreed.
Now that the decision has been made, several people are ready to get up, Qiaoqiao and Ning Xiang went to prepare dry food for Stacking to go on the road, Ning Yuan went to the horse market to buy horses, and Stacking went back to his house to pack his things.
An hour later, Diedie took the horse out of Xijing.
Regarding the stack that came after him, Lin Mumu didn't know at all.
No matter how good the scenery is, you will get tired of seeing too much, and on the fourth day, Lin Mumu is completely tired of it, and lies in the carriage every day and eats melon seeds.
"Have you heard about the Closed Gate Village?" Lin Mumu looked at the two palace maids who were guarding her at night and were sleepy during the day, took a cushion and leaned on her back and lowered her voice.
The drowsy two opened their eyes suddenly when they heard her say this, looked at each other suspiciously, and then looked at Lin Mumu without saying a word. Let's do it
Lin Mumu didn't seem to care if they responded, and only said to herself: "You should not know that you are in the palace all the year round, this Fengmen Village is the first ghost village in the Eastern Jin Dynasty." ”
Hearing Lin Mumu say this, the two of them fell on her one after another, as if waiting for the following.
"Legend has it that the cottage buildings of this Fengmen Village are self-defeating feng shui, people live in a fool's house, and there are strange burial customs where people die without leaving the village, as well as worshipping the Buddha instead of worshipping the gods and worshipping the official puppets.
"How can you get a fever?" The palace maid who was dissatisfied with Lin Mumu's hijab before, couldn't help but answer.
Lin Mumu threw a peanut into her mouth. "I tell you from the beginning, these three scholars are from relatively poor families, all three of them are from the same place, at that time they were going to enter Beijing to catch the exam, because they were afraid of delay, they left home early, who knew that when they were about to arrive in Beijing, they found that there were still two months before the exam, and the Beijing was a place where eating bowls of noodles was more expensive than other places, and it was still so long before the big exam, and it was impossible for the three poor scholars to support them to live in Beijing for two or three months. When they had nothing else to do, they found a deserted village. ”
When the two of them heard Lin Mumu talk, they both raised their interest, anyway, Lin Mumu couldn't run away in the carriage. "After that."
"When the night has fallen, the three of them want to go to the village to stay in the house, walked around but found that there is no one in the village, it is an empty village, at that time the three scholars thought about the empty village is good, anyway, here to the nearest town is half a day, and then buy something at dawn and come back They can at least stay here for a month, so that they can save a lot of money, the three of them are very happy, they found a very complete farmhouse to live in, after cleaning up, several people are tired, and they rest early, I thought this sleep was no different from usual, but who knows......"
"What's wrong? Night...... What happened? A palace maid asked anxiously.
"At night, a scholar surnamed Gu heard the sound of water in the courtyard when he got up at night, he looked out of the window and saw a naked woman bathing with her back to him, the scholar was startled, and secretly muttered that the indecent thing was not to be regarded as rudeness, but his eyes were unwilling to take his eyes off the woman."
"Hmph, these men are like that, they are all hypocrites."
Lin Mumu smiled and continued: "When the scholar was obsessed with reading, the woman suddenly turned back and smiled at him, the scholar was stunned, and the ghost sent him forward, seeing that he was only one step away from the woman when he suddenly heard someone call him, the scholar came back to his senses violently, and found that he was only one step away from the well, as long as he took another step forward, he would fall into the well!" He looked around again, where was there any woman taking a bath, and his companion also stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and the scholar told the truth, and his companion laughed at him, saying that he was Sichun, so he ignored it and went back to sleep, and the scholar surnamed Gu also felt that he might be dreaming, and followed back to the house, but who knew that in the second half of the night, he kept dreaming of the woman who was bathing by the well, and kept smiling at him, and the scholar surnamed Gu fell ill with a fever the next day. ”
"So, is that woman a human or a ghost?"
Lin Mumu sat up suddenly, leaned in front of the two of them, and lowered his voice: "It's a ghost, specially to hook the soul of a living person...... The story is not over, after the scholar surnamed Gu fell ill, his companion was very anxious, but they didn't have a car, so they couldn't pull the scholar surnamed Gu to the town to see the doctor, so they could only go and invite the doctor back, so the two discussed, one stayed to take care of the scholar surnamed Gu, and the other went to the town to find the doctor, but something strange happened again, the scholar who went to find the doctor went out in the morning but did not come back until the evening. ”
"Didn't you say that it only takes half a day to walk to the town, and it won't take more than a day to go back and forth." The palace maid asked.
"Yes, but the person just didn't come back, the rest of the scholar surnamed Wang, Wang Shusheng was also very puzzled, and even guessed that the scholar would not have run away, but his things are still here, where can he go, if the person doesn't come back, he can't find it, and he can only continue to wait in the village, this wait is a day and a night, seeing that the scholar surnamed Gu is about to burn out, the scholar surnamed Wang has no choice but to go to the town by himself......" Lin Mumu said here and suddenly paused
"After that, did the scholar surnamed Wang find the scholar and the doctor back?"
Lin Mumu looked at the two of them, and a tricky smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Ask the doctor's scholar, I found it, but it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"But he had already drowned in the well in that farmhouse."
"Huh!?" The palace maid snorted. "He, he's dead?!"
"yes, dead, dead."
The palace maid called Xiuhe had a tight complexion, and her lips were a little pale. "So, then how did he die?"
"The scholar surnamed Wang didn't know, he was so frightened looking at the scholar's death that he turned his head and wanted to run, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the scholar surnamed Gu, who was burned and his whole body was red, standing behind him with a pair of eyes, looking at him with empty eyes, the scholar surnamed Wang was directly frightened and fell to the ground, at this time the scholar surnamed Gu suddenly pounced on him and rolled into the well with him."
"Yikes!"
"At this time, a burst of laughter like a silver bell suddenly came from the well, hehehehahaha......ha
The shrill laughter caused goosebumps in both of them.
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped with a "clang", and the two of them were so frightened that they almost screamed.
