Walking and thinking, Nian Sheng unconsciously went around to the back garden of the house.

Looking up and seeing the closed moon gate in the garden, Nian Sheng realized that he had gone a little far, and turned around and was about to walk back, but he heard someone whispering beside him. Nian Sheng didn't feel displeased, just teased: "What? It's all locked, and you still want to go over the wall to go in? ”

The little maid who followed beside her was busy silencing when she heard the sound of reading.

Nian Sheng didn't want to be too restrained by them, and said with a smile: "What is this? Are they still the age of playfulness? Tomorrow I will ask Mama to arrange for you to pick flowers, and then you will not patronize and play and forget the time to go back. ”

An older one stepped forward and said back. "Miss, no."

"Oh?" Nian Sheng then asked, "What's that?" ”

"If you go back to Miss, the slaves and maids are looking at the strangeness of the lock of the door." As if he was afraid of not believing it, he pointed to the moon gate in the garden.

Nian Sheng looked intently, and the lock that should have been locked outside the garden was locked inside. This made Nian Sheng a little strange, and she walked over to take a closer look, only to find that the lock was not locked, but could only be hung on the door as a deadbolt.

In order to prevent someone from committing misdeeds, the gap between the fences on this moon gate is small and dense, and it is obviously impossible to hang the lock from the outside of the door like this. In other words, there must be someone in the garden at this time, although it is difficult to say for what, but it is really difficult not to be suspicious at such a time in such a place.

Niansheng thought about it, made up his mind in his heart, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "It's really cold this day, why did you come here unconsciously?" You don't remind me to do it. ”

The maid who had just answered looked at Niansheng's eyes, so she had to bite the bullet and say loudly: "Miss bows her head and thinks about things alone, and the slaves and maids don't dare to disturb." "She's telling the truth.

Nian Sheng nodded approvingly, "Let's go, let's go, don't let my wife know in a while, I'm going to talk about me again." Did you know? This night, all the spirits in the garden have come out, and it would be great if they provoked them. ”

"Miss, don't scare the slave." This sentence is sincere, what kind of ghosts and monsters are the little girls afraid of.

Nian Sheng laughed at their timidity as she led them back. After waiting for a corner, he stopped, pointed to the maid who had just answered, and said, "You run back quickly, and let the hanging toad bring a few strong nurses here." Just say I'm here waiting for her to take the thief. ”

The little maid saw the seriousness of Niansheng's command, and did not dare to delay, so she picked up her skirt and ran away.

Nian Sheng turned around and instructed the mother-in-law and maids around him, "Go to a smart eye, hide near the moon gate, and as long as you see someone coming out, learn to call cats here." ”

A petite maid was pushed out and trembled away.

Nian Sheng asked the rest to hide their own secrets, "Whoever comes out of the back garden will stop me later, and no one will be allowed to run away." Nian Sheng paused, and then said in an accentuated tone: "If you dare to let someone slip inside, you will be regarded as an accomplice of the thief, and he will be dealt with heavily." Do you understand? ”

At this time, the moon also disappeared into the clouds, and everyone couldn't see the look of the voice clearly, and they didn't dare to have any other thoughts just by listening to this.

In fact, there is no need for anyone to stand by the moon gate, because the sound of the door opening is loud enough in this quiet night.

Not long after the words fell, the door opened and then two trembling cat meows.

Next, a shrill female voice said uneasily, "Why are there cats here?" Isn't it something unclean? ”
