Chapter 71: The Truth
"Girl, why are you so decent, you don't stay in the house, what are you doing when you come out? Doesn't the girl know? Several nearby Zhuangzi have been occupied by the bloodthirsty monster. ”
"Our Zhuangzi is also occupied by most of it. That day and night, the slave and maid heard the sound and climbed the wall, only to find that there were already so many bloodthirsty monsters outside. The slave and maid were frightened, and took the two children and hid in the house. ”
Fluttershy led Sheng Mingyu into the house, and two children, one older and one younger, came up with tea.
"Sister drinks tea!"
One of the big boys looked at Xie Yunjin and smiled, and put the tea on the high table next to Sheng Mingyu.
Seeing Sheng Mingyu looking at the two children, Fluttershy introduces Sheng Mingyu.
"Girl, these are the two children born to my dead man, if it weren't for the fact that the lady had purchased this yard for the slave maid, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the slave and maid to raise the two children smoothly with the slave and maid alone."
Fluttershy says, patting the two children on the heads before instructing them both.
"Go to the door of the house and keep guard, if you find any movement, come back quickly to report to your mother."
The two children nodded, "um", and jumped out of the room.
Sheng Mingyu glanced at Fleur behind her, Fleur immediately understood what the girl meant, and after whispering to Uncle Wu, she went out with Uncle Wu.
And Li Qian also went out with him.
When only Sheng Mingyu and Fluttershy were left in the room, Sheng Mingyu asked.
"Fluttershy, do you remember that one of the dowries that my mother brought from the Xu family when she was alive was a treasure map of the previous dynasty."
"I've searched the whole house these days, but I haven't found that treasure map. You used to be by my mother's side, I wonder if you have ever seen that treasure map. ”
Sheng Mingyu's eyes are fixed on Fluttershy, who hesitates for a moment before telling Sheng Mingyu about it.
"Girl, in fact, before Madame died, the treasure map was indeed handed over to me. Madame ordered me to keep it well, and I have kept it all these years, but a year ago, when the slave remembered the treasure map, the slave and the maid could not find it. ”
As Fluttershy speaks, Sheng Mingyu's gaze doesn't take her eyes off Fluttershy's face.
Fluttershy wasn't lying.
"Fluttershy, have you looked carefully for where the treasure map is?"
Sheng Mingyu asked again.
Fluttershy looks at the girl in disbelief and says.
"Girl, the slave and maid dare to swear to the heavens that the slave and maid did not hide the treasure map. Madame treats Fluttershy as kind as a mountain, and treats Fluttershy as her own daughter, how can Fluttershy be sorry for Madame. ”
"A year ago, I was going to take out the treasure map and look at it, but at that time, my aunt came to the door, and when I looked for the treasure map again, I couldn't find it."
Could it be that the treasure map in Fluttershy's hand has been stolen?
So who stole it?
Since the whereabouts of the treasure map are still unknown, she came out in vain.
Sheng Mingyu was about to ask Fluttershy about the whereabouts of her treasure map again, when a sound rang out outside the house.
"Enough is enough? It's going to get dark soon, and when that group of bloodthirsty monsters comes out again, I'm afraid that if we want to leave, we won't be able to go. ”
It was Li Qian's voice.
Li Qian was standing in the courtyard and said to Sheng Mingyu in the house.
Pushing open the door, Sheng Mingyu glanced at the sky outside, and the sky had darkened.
If you leave now, I'm afraid that before you reach the official road, it will be completely dark on this day, and even if you want to leave, you won't be able to go.
"Either the girl will stay with me for one night! The slave maid still has something to say to the girl alone! ”
Fluttershy says, calling the two children back.
Seeing Sheng Mingyu nod, Fluttershy takes her two children and goes to the kitchen next door.
Sheng Mingyu followed Li Qian and inspected the house around.
"Miss Sheng, the door of this house is not strong enough. If there are those monsters gathered outside, I am afraid that this door will not be able to stop it. It still has to be reinforced. ”
Li Qian looked at Sheng Mingyu behind him and said.
"Whatever you want, whatever!"
Sheng Mingyu said that, she followed Fluttershy into the back room.
After a night of hard work, Sheng Mingyu has not yet freshened up.
The two children had already boiled hot water and brought it in.
Fleur comes out with a change of clothes, and after Fluttershy helps Sheng Mingyu freshen up, Fleur waits for Sheng Mingyu to change into new clothes.
It was made by Lu Niangzi a few days ago when she called the tailor outside to come in, and the green gown was inlaid with large and small pearls.
Because Sheng Mingyu didn't have any clothes to take, when he went to other homes in the future, he would inevitably be despised by other families.
That's why Lu Niangzi made a good assertion and invited a tailor to come into the house to make a new dress for Sheng Mingyu.
After Sheng Mingyu changed her clothes, Sheng Mingyu asked Fleur to go out to help Li Qian and Uncle Wu, while she stayed in the house and talked to Fluttershy.
"Girl, the second room is a little heartless. If it weren't for Madame's hard work all day, how could Madame be sick? And in the days when Mrs. was ill, the Sun family in the second room also came to see Mrs. At that time, Sun was talking to his wife in the house, and for some reason, Sun and his wife had a conflict, and the two quarreled in the house. ”
At last when the slave and maid went in, they saw the lady sitting alone in the house, wiping her tears. The slave asked the lady what had happened, and the lady did not mention a word to the slave and maid. Girl, if one day in the future, the girl becomes stronger, you must not let go of the Sun family in the second room easily. ”
Fluttershy is crying as she speaks.
Tears welled up in Fluttershy's clothes.
It was the Sun family who caused her mother to have a sudden illness, and she would definitely not let Sun go easily.
If she has the opportunity, she must let the Shengguo Mansion pay the price.
Out of the house, Fluttershy goes to the kitchen to gather dinner for the others, while Sheng Mingyu goes to help Fleur.
The door of the front yard is the most important thing, and Uncle Wu has already helped Li Qian move the stone grinding disc in the yard to the front of the house and block it in front of the door.
Under the courtyard wall, several large water tanks were placed.
There was no water in the tank, but a little hay piled up.
When the time comes, even those bloodthirsty monsters will climb over the wall and fall into the tank as soon as they get off the courtyard wall, and all they need to do is a fire.
Fluttershy and Fleur spend a moment in the kitchen before finally making dinner.
"Girl, there is not much food at home, only some noodles, so I have to cook a few bowls of noodles and entertain the girl."
Sheng Mingyu lowered his head and looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him, except for a fried egg in his noodles, among the noodles of others was noodles with clear soup and little water.
"Fluttershy, what are you doing here? It's not easy for you to take two children, this egg, you should eat it! ”
Sheng Mingyu said, holding the fried egg in his bowl and putting it in Fluttershy's bowl.
Fluttershy's eyes sparkle when they see the fried egg.
"Mother, I want to eat eggs! I want to eat eggs! ”
The two children talk, shaking Fluttershy's arms.
"Okay, well, since you two want to eat, let's give it to you two!"
Fluttershy divides the fried egg into two halves with chopsticks, half of which is in a child's bowl.
After dinner, there was a lot of movement outside.
The bloodthirsty monsters are starting to come alive.
Underneath the kitchen is a cellar that Fluttershy leaves after putting her two children to sleep.
"Girl, it's not safe outside, you better go and hide in the cellar!"
With a look of worry on her face, Fluttershy takes Sheng Mingyu's hand and tries to pull her into the cellar below the kitchen.
Sheng Mingyu didn't speak.
Instead, he continued to listen to the movement outside the hospital. I saw a burst of fire outside, and there was a loud shout.
It's like the sound of someone being bitten to death by a wild beast.
It's just that the monsters outside are ten times more terrifying than the beasts.
"Girl, why don't we go back to the house! Slaves are afraid! ”
Listening to the mournful shouts outside, Fu Rui was already trembling, took Sheng Mingyu's hand, and was about to drag her into the house.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Fluttershy, Fluttershy, are you in the house? I'm a princess! Please save me! ”
It was a woman's voice.
Listening to the voice, it seemed that the woman had been so frightened that she was crying outside the house.
"Girl, outside the house is the princess who lives next door, listening to her voice, it seems that she is being pursued by those bloodthirsty monsters, or let's open the door and let her in!"
Now it is Sheng Mingyu who is in charge here.
If Fluttershy wants to let someone in, she still has to ask Sheng Mingyu what she means.
When Fleur hears that Fluttershy is going to let someone in, she hurriedly speaks.
"Girl, that princess has been outside for so long, maybe she has been bitten by those bloodthirsty monsters, and she can't be let in. Once she is let in, we will die! ”
Hearing what Fu Hui said, Li Qian also persuaded him.
"Miss Fleur is right, now is not the time for mercy, we can't determine whether the princess has been bitten or not, for the sake of the people in the house, we can't let her in."
The voices outside became quieter and quieter the more they shouted.
Gradually, the voice was no longer heard.
The voice stopped, could it be that the princess was already dead?
At this time, there was another violent knock at the back door of the courtyard.
Fortunately, before dinner, Li Qian had already taken Uncle Wu and reinforced the back door with wooden strips, and he couldn't break through the door for a while.
"Girl, let's take shelter in the cellar! The slave has taken everything you need in the house to the cellar, and we are always safer in the cellar. ”
Fluttershy continues to persuade Sheng Mingyu.
Hearing this, Sheng Mingyu follows Fluttershy and goes down to the cellar together.
In the cellar, candles have been lit.
Only then did Sheng Mingyu see the cellar in front of him clearly, the place was very large, like the cellar that the people who lived here before had dug up a long time ago.
As soon as they get out of the cellar, Fluttershy's two children rush out and hug Fluttershy in front of them.
"Mother, Chang'er is worried about you, why did you come down? It's all those monsters above, hurry down, Chang'er protect you. ”
In the cellar, Fluttershy has moved the screen down, separating the two rooms.
One room in the back is for Sheng Ming Yufu, and the other room is for Li Qian and Uncle Wu.
Because Fluttershy had cleaned the cellar before, there was no dust or bugs in the cellar.
However, sleeping on the ground is still cold, and Sheng Mingyu still feels unaccustomed.
