Ya Xiang watched the decoction in Yan Xiaoyi's bowl gradually decrease, and couldn't help but feel that her mouth was slightly bitter. Seeing that the soup bowl was at the bottom, she immediately poured tea at a moderate temperature from the side to rinse her mouth, and handed a candied fruit intimately.

The sweet candied fruit slid from the tip of her tongue, and Yan Xiaoyi's frowning eyebrows were relaxed. However, this decoction was drunk, and the real effect was already before falling asleep.

On the moon, after Yan Xiaoyu bathed, she changed into a clean middle coat and shrunk into the quilt. I was just about to lie down, but suddenly I felt that my hair was wet and sticking to my back, which was very uncomfortable, so I pulled my shoes and got out of bed again, and found a dry handkerchief to dry the water on my hair. I swallowed it in my throat unintentionally, and suddenly found that the fish bone that was stuck in my throat was gone, and I was suddenly happy.

Since drinking the bowl of decoction, Ya Xiang has to ask her almost every half an hour if the fish bones are still there, for fear that the bowl of medicine will not work, and she looks frightened. Now the fish bones went down, but she didn't know where to go.

Is it taking a bath? Yan Xiaoyi put the handkerchief in her hand on the table, scattered the long hair on her head and draped it over her shoulders, took the peach wood comb in the makeup and combed her hair through it, and knocked on the door of the hut: "Yaxiang, are you inside?" The fish bones in my throat went down, don't worry. His fingers clenched into fists, and with a slight tap, the door of the hut creaked open.

There was a large wooden barrel on the ground, full of bath water, but the Yaxiang man was not there.

Yan Xiaowei used her slender fingers to puff the water in the wooden bucket, and found that the water temperature was already cold, and she felt very strange.

"Where did Yaxiang go at such a late hour? I didn't even say hello! ”

His eyes swept over the hut, and he suddenly saw that the window looked half-open. She slowly approached the bamboo window and listened carefully, and there was a faint sound of a woman talking outside. So, I stretched out my hand and slowly pushed the bamboo window outward, and I saw the dense locust trees in the yard, swaying in the night breeze. She poked half of her front body out, squinting her eyes as she wandered through the night. Finally, around the corner of the wall, I saw a white cloth, which looked like the corners of someone's clothes were dragging on the ground.

She cleared her throat and asked, "Who's there?" ”

As soon as the words fell, not only did no one answer, but the corners of the clothes on the ground disappeared from the corners.

There's a ghost in there!

Yan Xiaowei pursed her lips, "Yaxiang, is that you?" ”

Seeing that he was named, he really couldn't hide it, so Yaxiang leaned out from the corner. Wearing only a middle coat, she looked very thin in the night, one hand hanging on the side of her body tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, and her pupils showed a panicked look under the yellowish candlelight, which was clearly a weak heart.

Yan Xiaowei frowned and looked at her from head to toe: "I called you just now, why didn't you make a sound." Who are you talking to outside at this late hour? ”

Yaxiang lowered her head stupidly: "Girl, I was wrong. I didn't mean not to answer, I just didn't hear it for a while. ”

Yan Xiaowei beckoned to her: "Come here." ”

Ya Xiang lowered her head, glanced behind her eyes, hesitated, and finally moved her two feet to rub over step by step. As soon as she approached Yan Xiaoyi, she immediately stretched out her hands and held them high, her rabbit-like eyes swept her quickly, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed: "Girl, I was wrong, you hit my hand!" ”

Yan Xiaowei looked at her calmly, the night breeze gently lifted the long hair on her cheeks, a little itchy, she couldn't help but stroke it with her hand.

"Call your little friends along."

Ya Xiang didn't move, and looked at Yan Xiaoyun beggingly: "Girl, it's my fault that I came out without telling the girl, if you want to punish me, it's none of her business." ”

Yan Xiaoyi's gaze turned to the corner, and her tone raised slightly: "Yaxiang is a very righteous child, and she is still protecting you at this time." Can you bear to see her punished alone? ”

There was a rustle in the grass twice, and then a figure in a light blue dress slowly walked out from the corner. Looking at this dress, it should be a maid in a courtyard in this Yan Mansion.

She glanced at Yan Xiaoyun timidly, bit her lip and walked to Ya Xiang to stand up, and then saluted Yan Xiaoyi.

"Hello second girl, I am Lingxiang, the maid in Aunt Liu's room, and I was sold to Yanfu with Yaxiang two years ago, so I am usually very affectionate, and I always get together to talk when I have the opportunity. I came here so late today, because I wanted to discuss something with Yaxiang. ”

Yan Xiaowei raised her eyebrows: "Oh? If you have something to look for Yaxiang but don't go into the house, you have to ask someone to go around the corner. So, to avoid me? ”
