Chapter 88: Dark Shadows Outside the Window
Chapter 88: Dark Shadows Outside the Window
Mu Ziqi was taken aback, and looked up, but it was the old woman, I don't know when, she came to the front, Mu Ziqi quickly tied the trouser belt, pretending to be casual.
But my heart was thinking, why didn't she make a sound when she walked, I was young, and I didn't have my ears back, why didn't I hear her come to me, but fortunately I didn't pee out, if I happened to be seen by her, how embarrassing it would be.
The old woman spoke: "Guest officer, what's the matter with coming out at the third watch in the middle of the night, don't you want to make it convenient?" ”
Mu Ziqi nodded.
"It's all my fault, forget about it, there is actually a night pot at home, just put it in the back room, I'll just go and get it."
So saying, the old woman went into the house, took out the night pot, put it under the bed, said goodnight, and went out.
After Mu Ziqi was convenient, he lay down on the bed and wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep.
He wondered, why did this old woman appear at the right time, just when I was about to pee, was it a coincidence, she also came out to the bathroom?
But it did not look like it, for the old woman, after taking out the night pot, could be heard clearly by the footsteps, and went to the house where they had slept before, and did not go to the hut.
He pondered again, could people have already been there before, just when you wanted to get rid of it, and came to him?
Thinking about it, it's not right, if that's the moonlight outside, so bright and bright, even if he lies there, he can see people walking by outside the window, but why doesn't he notice it at all?
Besides, this old woman walks so strangely, when I came out, I didn't hear it at all, but why when I went back, I could clearly hear her walking, isn't it strange?
Mu Ziqi thought, no, after dawn, I have to leave here if I say anything, because the two old people are really incomprehensible, just stop there, it doesn't matter, but I am afraid that if I suffer an accident, it will be too late to regret it.
In this way, he couldn't sleep even more, and finally, he couldn't lie down anymore, so he simply got up, sat there, and quietly lifted the window lattice up to enjoy the night view of the courtyard.
A soft ray of moonlight shone on the windowsill, which seemed to be silver-plated. Today's moonshine is particularly beautiful. There are also a few twinkling stars in the distance, which adds a bit of poetry to this moonlit night. From time to time, a nightingale or two could be heard in the sky.
The moonlight sprinkled all over people's clothes, warming people's hearts—making people feel that the warmth of the sun was too warm and unrestrained, and the starlight was lonely and cold. Only this gentle and tranquil moonlight can be so appropriate.
The moon soaked the whole land, and the surrounding was illuminated by the moonlight, and the world was completely enveloped in an atmosphere of holiness. The senses are blurred, but the heart is sublimated in holiness.
Unconsciously, the whole body and mind are constantly dispersing, as if they have melted into the vast universe......
Everywhere there was the cricket chirping, and the scent of the night filled the air, weaving a soft net that enveloped all the scenery. All the eyes come into contact with is the thing covered with this soft net, no grass or tree, not as realistic as in the daytime, they all have a vague, ethereal color, each of which hides its subtleties, keeps its secrets, and makes people feel like a dream.
Looking overhead, the sky looks so empty, but it uses only the simplest decoration to make the world seem so soft and picturesque.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he was a child.
In the summer in the countryside, because the house is too hot at night, it is impossible to sleep, so a group of boys go to the roof to sleep, but it is all bungalows, and the tiled houses with ridges are definitely not good.
Facing the deep and distant sky, I can't help but have many fantasies, how I hope that one day I can travel in space like an astronaut.
As I was watching, a snowy light suddenly flashed in the sky, it was a meteor, which instantly crossed the sky and disappeared between the clouds.
Some people say that if a meteor falls from the sky, a person will die on the ground, and when I hear this, I can't help but feel some chills on my body, and I don't want to look at it anymore......
At this time, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing outside the room where the old woman was sleeping, Mu Ziqi looked carefully, and from the walking posture, it seemed that it was an old woman again.
Hey, what's going on, is the old woman urinating frequently and urgently?
But it doesn't seem to be the case, first, it doesn't look like it's in a hurry, and it's not in the direction of the thatched house.
What is the other reason why you want to spy on me?
It's not difficult to understand that if there is a first time, there will be a second time, and since I ran once, the possibility of running a second time exists.
If they just don't want me to leave this place, it's only natural to keep an eye on me.
But why didn't they want me to go, what was my use to them, or how could I help them?
Just thinking about it, I saw that person came out of the shadows, Mu Ziqi looked at it again, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, ho, it turned out to be a beautiful woman!
Under the moonlight, the woman moved the lotus step lightly and walked out, just like a gentle mist sweeping through the flowers and ponds, without making a sound.
Its eyes are like water, but with a touch of coldness, it seems to be able to see through everything, and the moonlight is hazy, which just sets off its bright flowers and moonlight.
Her ten fingers were slender, and her skin was like clotted fat, although it was not as clear as in the daytime, but she could imagine that the snow white was pink, as if she could wring out water, and her every move seemed to be dancing.
After walking for a while, she came to a tree, she untied her hair, and the green silk danced with the night breeze.
At this time, it can be clearly seen that the woman's waist is slender, her limbs are slender, and she has a fairy-like temperament, wearing a white dress, rusty butterfly dark lines, a green silk with butterfly tassels shallowly raised, and a butterfly carved from a night of pearls on her forehead, emitting a faint light, and her eyebrows are swept lightly, and she does not apply powder on her face, but she still can't hide her stunning appearance.
After tying her hair, she walked slowly among the flowers and plants, as if she had some thoughts.
Look at its neck, there is a crystal necklace, shining in the moonlit night, more and more called the collarbone clear, the white jade bracelet on the wrist lined with snow skin, a pair of gilt shoes on the feet decorated with gemstones, beautiful eyes flowing, like a pale butterfly that has lost its breath in the dark, and its expression is as light as a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
It can really be said that heaven and earth are moved, and flowers are lost because of it.
The beauty stopped in front of a well in the courtyard, because her back was to herself, Mu Ziqi couldn't see the expression on her face, and the woman looked down at the well for a long time.
At this time, it seemed that they were all holding their breath, and the insects in the garden stopped chirping.
Although separated by a distance, Mu Ziqi could hear the sigh of the beauty.
Who is this, is it the daughter of an old woman, and if so, why does she not show up during the day, but go out to wander at night?
This family is a little too weird.
What did the young woman want to do when she came out in the middle of the night?
Mu Ziqi suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, she was going to throw herself into the well?
Thinking like this, Mu Ziqi couldn't sit still, and got together, but his head hit the window lattice above all of a sudden, and he let out a "Bang!" There was a thud.
Mu Ziqi was taken aback, now he was worried that he would be heard by the woman.
But because it was too quiet in the night, the woman heard it and turned around......
When Mu Ziqi saw it, he hurriedly and quickly put down the window lattice, and continued to observe the movement outside along the crack in the window.
At this time, he saw that the woman was looking this way, but she did not come immediately, as if she was thinking: to pass, or not to pass?
Finally, she finally made up her mind, and the beautiful woman slowly walked this way.
When Mu Ziqi saw it, she was a little flustered, why, she didn't want to commit suicide by throwing herself into the well, if this is the case, three watches in the middle of the night, it would be a great thing to save someone's life unintentionally!
Hey, I'm still thinking about what I'm doing, people are coming to the front, why don't you lie down quickly!
Mu Ziqi didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly climbed back to his original position and quickly lay down.
But his eyes were still on the white window paper, to see if the shadow of the beautiful woman could appear there.
However, before this scene could happen, I suddenly heard a movement in the courtyard, as if another person had come out.
The beautiful woman also seemed to be a little flustered by this, and the footsteps outside the window quickly faded away.
Because of the layer of window paper, Mu Ziqi couldn't see the outside clearly, so he immediately got up and looked out along the gap in the window lattice, but the scene in front of him made him shiver, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the window, and a pair of snowy eyes were attached to the window crack, looking at himself!
Mu Ziqi was frightened, "Ah! I couldn't help but lean back, and fell on the bed, followed by another roll back, and fell to the ground with a "swish", hitting my head hard against the wall, and many Venus stars popping out of my eyes.
He lay on the ground, not daring to move, leaning back, trembling, and looked at the window again, but there was nothing.
And I couldn't hear anything unusual outside.
What's going on, he was lying on the ground and thinking, was it just his own delusion?
After lying on the ground for a while, I only felt that my body was cold, and I couldn't lie down anymore, so I quietly got up, tiptoed up to the bed, and lay down by the window.
This time, because of the lesson he had learned last time, he no longer dared to look out of the window, but looked at it from a distance, and after confirming that there was no danger, he tentatively pushed the window slowly with his hand, and then dared to lift it upwards.
At this time, when I looked inside the courtyard, there was nothing.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, white light sprinkled onto the earth, the breeze blew, and the water of the pond rippled.
The breeze blows in the face, bringing a hint of coolness. The leaves then make a "sand, sand, sand" sound, like whispering, like weaving a dream of a summer night; All kinds of unknown insects in the grass are singing leisurely, one after another, very pleasant.
This made Mu Ziqi puzzled, where did that beauty go?
And what kind of monster is lying on the window and staring at himself?
I was in confusion, and suddenly, I saw the bushes in front of me move.
