Chapter 44: Thunder Strikes in the Sky
A faint scent of ambergris wafted through the dark air.
At Wanying's request, a red candle was left in the room, emitting a warm light.
The fourth master and Wan Ying were lying on the bed, and they were already asleep.
Boom, thunder as if a train was rolling on ice slag.
The fourth master has never fallen asleep, but just kowtowed his eyes to recuperate.
Xiao Gege next to him nestled in his arms as soon as he got into bed, and he had to cover his ears with his hands.
And now, she is asleep. But one hand was still holding one of the fourth master's hands, and he never let go.
The fourth master opened his eyes, and looked at the girl in his arms through the little red light that came in through the candlelight outside.
She was just a girl, and her eyes were so pure that she could see as far as she could see, like the clearest stream among the mountain streams.
The fourth master looked at Wan Ying's sleeping face in a daze......
Suddenly, the little thing in his arms twisted, smashed his lips, and said, "Thirsty, thirsty, mother......"
It turned out that Wan Ying, who was always asleep, dreamed of her mother. It's been a long time since she's dreamed of her mom and dad three hundred years later.
"Mom......" The fourth master involuntarily repeated these two words, guessing what these two words meant? It doesn't seem to be a word in Mongolian, and it doesn't seem to be in Manchu, it's a word in Chinese.
The fourth master couldn't figure it out, and seeing that Wanying was still screaming "thirsty", he had to carefully take Xiao Gege out of his arm.
The fourth master got out of bed, walked to the round table, lifted the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and then walked back to the bed.
He personally pulled Wan Ying's head up, and then put the teacup in his hand to her lips.
In this way, she still hadn't woken up yet, but her mouth was very cooperative with several sips of water.
The fourth master couldn't help lowering his head when he saw the action of smashing her mouth like a baby, but he was afraid of waking her up, so he had to give up and place her on the pillow.
He walked back to the round table, poured himself another cup of tea, and sat down to drink it slowly.
The fourth master has no sleepiness at all, so he can't sit all night.
He thought about it, thought of a way to relieve his boredom, got up and put on his clothes, and woke up the minions who were keeping vigil outside the door.
It just so happened that it was Su Peisheng who was keeping vigil today, and the fourth master kicked him a few times.
Su Peisheng was clever and was about to get angry, but he saw the fourth master in a black straight shirt looking at him condescendingly.
"Master!" Su Peisheng almost screamed, and immediately got up from the recliner.
"Be quiet. Don't wake her up. The fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Will you play?" ”
"A little bit of a slave." Su Peisheng immediately retracted his voice and said cautiously, but he was talking in his heart: Tsk, Dong Gege's fortune is really coming, and even when he comes to Kwai Shui, he is still staying in the front yard. Now Lord Belle is actually afraid of waking her up, and he comes out to play chess with a miscellaneous family.
It turned out that Chunhua saw that the fourth master was leaving Wanying to rest, and accidentally said something in front of Su Peisheng.
"Go get a pair of clouds. Play against the master! The fourth master said.
Where did Su Peisheng dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the study to get the fourth master's pair of jade.
Outside, the wind and rain still have no intention of stopping. It's the end of May, and after this rain, the weather is about to get hot.
Mama Gao lay on the bed, thinking about Mama Li's words over and over again. She naturally knew that this was Fu Jin who had come to buy herself, and the purpose was to overthrow the Li family!
But could the Lee clan be overthrown so easily?
When the time comes, I am afraid that I will be the scapegoat of myself in a different place.
Although, she knew that she still couldn't get out of it all, but she didn't want to die.
I wondered what if Lee's bad luck arrived?
Moreover, the conditions offered by Fujin are indeed very tempting.
Mama Gao suddenly felt a deficit in her abdomen, and the hunger pangs came to the sea all at once.
She began to curse Qiu Ling's "ingratitude" again.
Mama Gao couldn't hold back any longer, and sat up from the bed again.
She decided to sneak into the dining room to steal some food.
Coincidentally, the fasting room of the Four Belle Mansions was not far behind the flower room.
She consciously passed without knowing it, and under the cover of night and wind and rain, no one should see it.
Just do it.
Mama Gao immediately got up and went to her closet to look for clothes.
She still didn't dare to go out like this, otherwise if she was seen, it would be a blatant disobedience to the fourth master's grounding order.
After Mama Gao got dressed, she secretly went out of the house.
Another thunderstorm!
Mama Gao held an ordinary umbrella and walked to the back door of the flower house she knew.
Although the rain was heavy, she did not dare to walk under the eaves for fear that people who had not slept would find out.
It was easy to get to the back door, and the doorkeeper had already gone back to sleep.
Moreover, the door was not locked with an iron lock, but was tied with a wooden bolt, and it was now being washed clean by the rain.
Mama Gao hurriedly pulled the wooden bolt and opened the back door.
After she had blocked the doors with the stones she had prepared, she walked in the direction of the room.
Mama Gao walked forward on the road with one foot and one foot deep, but the rain was so heavy that she couldn't see the direction in front of her.
She thought that holding an umbrella could block the rain, but she didn't expect that this short section of the road would be so difficult.
Suddenly, a silver serpent roamed the sky, and suddenly stretched its legs one side and one foot there, while its head stretched tentatively downward.
Mama Gao held an oil-paper umbrella and moved her steps with difficulty, scolding Qiu Ling in her heart as she walked, and even scolded Li Fang Fujin for throwing herself out, but she hadn't gone to find a way with the fourth master, so that she still had to find something to feed herself in such a ghost weather.
The silver snake swooped down tentatively and rushed to the ground.
Mama Gao was drenched all over, and she even regretted running out in such weather.
She looked around, and finally saw a small wooden pavilion, and thought that it was better to take shelter from the rain, but it was not important to eat.
Mama Gao ran towards the wooden pavilion, and the silver snake in the sky was also poking out its tongue of fire towards the wooden pavilion.
Bang, snort......
A thunderbolt struck the figure running on the ground. A huge electric current instantly pierced her body, and then quickly spread to the ground.
Mama Gao didn't run to the small wooden pavilion until she died, and she was still on an empty stomach until she died, and she never imagined that she would be thundered by the sky.
The rain was still pouring down, and the blackened body lying on the ground was beaten by the rain.
In such a dark night, no one noticed her. In this way, she was destined to lie here all night, until the slave maid who was in charge of the sprinkler came to find out the next day.
At that time, the fourth master and Su Peisheng had already played two sets, and Su Peisheng lost every time.
"Lord Belle, the minions are no match for you. The minion was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. Su Peisheng said with a bitter face.
"Bold, you haven't slept yet, do you dare to sleep?" The fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng and said.
"Lord Belle, the thunder outside seems to be quiet. Why don't you go back to sleep? Su Peisheng said again.
