Li Yao is actually a quick temper, usually hidden very well, only when she is extremely angry will it be revealed, but Hu Muran is like a match to her, and she can always easily ignite her anger.

She raised her hand to hit him, Hu Muran felt a little funny, and said while hiding: "What are you doing, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth!" ”

Li Yao said angrily: "I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman!" ”

After that, he chased after him, the two of you chased me, Li Yao was obviously angry and her face was flushed, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was like flirting.

Hu Huilan heard the movement outside, so she chased out to see, only to see her younger brother being chased around by Li Yao, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, and said while laughing: "Don't fight, Mu Ran, you come over to me, and apologize to the people!" ”

Hu Muran listened to his sister's words the most, immediately stopped, hid behind her, and said: "I didn't expect that Miss Li San, who is soft and weak in other people's mouths, is actually a shrew who scolds and beats people at every turn!" ”

Li Yao originally wanted to spare Hu Huilan's face, but she didn't expect that he didn't have a good word in his mouth, and he didn't care about his identity and face, and said, "Yes, I'm a shrew!" ”

Hu Huilan couldn't help but laugh again, she knew that Li Yao shouldn't be able to get any bargains, so she stopped between the two of them, grabbed Li Yao and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, my younger brother just owes his mouth to clean up, don't worry, I'll help you teach him a good lesson when I go back." ”

Hu Muran immediately smiled and began to beg for mercy: "Sister, how can you help outsiders, can't I apologize?" ”

He was like a half-grown child, squirming and walking up to Li Yao, Li Yao was angry, he didn't even look at him, Hu Muran had to speak: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I apologize, I reflect!" ”

"That's right!" Hu Huilan grabbed her and coaxed: "Okay, he also apologized, you can forgive him!" ”

Li Yao thought to herself, the two of them breathed out of one nostril, and their anger was reduced by half, so they had to nod: "Then spare him this time." ”

Hu Huilan saw the opportunity and said, "Stay and have a meal." ”

Li Yao has been out for a while, she must go back before the meal, otherwise the eldest lady will know that she will be ridiculed again, so she excused herself: "I won't stay to eat, the family has been strict recently, and I still sneaked out." ”

Hu Huilan felt a little sorry for her, and said, "Okay, let Mouran send you!" ”

When Li Yao heard this, she resisted even more: "It's good for me to go back by myself, if I let others see it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the house." ”

Hu Huilan turned her head and glared at Hu Muran fiercely, reproaching: "It's all your fault!" ”

Hu Muran looked aggrieved and spread his hands.

Yuncui covered for her, she went back to the yard smoothly just to get to the meal, and the fourth wife at the dinner table said about Linglong's marriage, and now Shao Hua's business has improved, and his parents are also urging, Shao Hua plans to simply advance the wedding.

Linglong is naturally happy, the eldest lady was thoughtful, she didn't seem to be much interested, and only replied lightly: "It's best to be in advance, so as to add some joy to the family." ”

Although the happy event was approaching, there was a sudden haunt in the Li family's house.

It is said that as long as it is past twelve o'clock in the night, you can hear the cry from Beiyuan, desolate and desolate, intermittent, the sound seems to float from a long distance, but these days there is a strong wind, and there is a lot of rain, a tree in Beiyuan was broken by thunder to Qi Gen, there is an abandoned well next to the tree, and two maids who have drowned have been sealed, everyone says that the ghost of the person who drowned at the bottom of the well has returned, and for a time Beiyuan has become ghostly, and passing by has to take a detour.

Wu's mother said that Beiyuan used to be the place where her father lived, but since his father left the Li Mansion it was abandoned, she has never been there to see it, first, I am afraid that it will touch the scene and hurt the second, the eldest lady never allows others to pass, she has seen it from a distance, the yard is locked by heavy iron, and the key is only owned by the eldest lady.

The yard where she lives is not far from Beiyuan, although she is not a superstitious person, but this kind of thing will be hairy in anyone's heart, there is no wind tonight, the sky is dark and obscure, and the thick clouds are pressed down heavily, and there are fire clouds before dark, dyeing a piece of sky red, thinking that the sky is going to be clear, but I didn't expect that just after night, the fire clouds are like being splashed with ink, and they have become dark clouds.

Just after 11 o'clock in the clock, I heard a faint cry outside, the cry became louder and louder, hysterical, listen carefully, and it didn't look like a human cry, but like a terrible cat's cry, heartbreaking, and the gloomy ghost breath slowly climbed up from Li Yao's feet, goosebumps rose on her hands, but the sound didn't stop at all, and the sound seemed to come from her pillow from far and near.

She left the light before going to bed because she was afraid, and she felt a little more at ease when there was a bright light in the room, but the window forgot to close, and the wind rose outside without warning, and the wick was blown by the wind, and the light flickered on and off, and the shadow of the light on the wall was like a beating ghost, and the shadow was enough to make people have endless reverie.

Suddenly, there was a miserable cry outside, which frightened people, Li Yao could feel the green tendons on her forehead beating, and then something fell from the beam, it was a sound of squeezing, her scalp was a little numb, and she pointed her ears before realizing that Fang Cai's miserable voice was not a woman's cry, but two cats fighting on the roof.

Only then did she dare to get up from her bed and close the window.

At this time, the crying outside sounded again, and she thought it was the meow of a cat again, so she was bold, opened the door, and picked up a broom, but the sound did not come from her own yard, but really came from the North Garden.

Her hand holding the broom suddenly lost her strength, and she turned to hide in the house, when a dark shadow flashed over and collided with her, almost knocking her three souls and seven spirits apart.

The two of them screamed at the same time, and when they looked at it, it was Yuncui's girl.

She was so frightened that she lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, and her eyes were closed, dancing and flapping in the void, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit.

Li Yao shouted at her before she came back to her senses, she helped her into the house, Yun Cui was scared enough, her hands and feet were still shaking badly, and her voice was trembling, she said, "I...... I was a little scared. She secretly scolded herself in her heart, during the day, she chewed her tongue with the maids in other rooms, and listened to them talk about Beiyuan in a weird way, and it was inevitable that she would portray some scenes in her mind after listening too much, and the crying in this night was simply a reproduction of the scene.

She was so scared that she wanted to come over and squeeze Li Yao, her master was a warm-hearted and regarded herself as her own sister, she must not bear to turn her away, where did she think that when she pinched a candle and came over, she saw that the door of her room was open, and she felt bad and just turned around to find it, but she bumped into Li Yao head-on, the light of the candle was reflected on the person's face, she couldn't see it really, she could only see clearly that the two eyeballs were staring at herself, she was naturally so frightened that she almost lost her mind, the candle was knocked over, the candle tears dropped on one hand, and the back of the hand was burned, a layer of blisters.

Li Yao smeared some cool and pain-relieving ointment on her, she was also scared, but most of people's fears come from unknown things, she has accepted the idea of anti-feudal superstition, she does not believe in evil, picked up the kerosene lamp on the table and said to Yuncui: "Go, follow me to take a look." ”

Where is Yuncui willing to go, she immediately shook her head into a rattle, and seeing her resolute attitude, Li Yao had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, then you stay here, and I will go alone." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Cui tightened her sleeves, looked at her with a melancholy expression, and reluctantly said, "Miss, I'll go with you!" ”

The two of them carried the kerosene lamp and walked to Beiyuan, the cry that had just disappeared suddenly floated into their ears like coming out of the ground at this moment, the two of them shivered firmly, one of Yun Cui's hands was about to stiffen, and the other hand held Li Yao tightly, she trembled and spoke, and her voice was extremely low: "Miss, let's go back." Li Yao still walked in the direction of Beiyuan as if she hadn't heard her speak.

The dry well of Beiyuan was pressed by a boulder, and the side of the well was some paper money burned by the maids in the past two days, and the paper ash that was scattered all over the place was blown into the air when the wind blew, and the broken ocean was sprinkled and fell everywhere, and then looked at the tree called thunder next to the dry well, which was split in half from the middle, but there were still some stumps and bark, and the branches and leaves were scattered and no one came to clean up.

The cry did not come from the well, but from the courtyard wall of the North Garden.

Yun Cui's hand carrying the kerosene lamp suddenly trembled a little, she didn't expect her young lady to be so bold, she silently recited Amitabha Buddha in her mouth, and prayed in her heart that their young lady could wake up in time and take her out of this place of right and wrong.

Li Yao's curiosity rose, and she had an urge to find out, but she was not so afraid when she arrived in Beiyuan, the courtyard door was locked, and there was a faint light through the crack in the door, she almost wanted to put her whole face on, squinted her eyes, and saw a black shadow inside, she was shocked, the black shadow looked at the figure of a woman, and there was a lamp inside, although the light was dim, she could barely see that it was a person, not a ghost in the mouth of people in the world.

Why do you say that she must be a human being, it is because under the light, her shadow is projected to the ground, she sits on a swing, her hair is extremely long until her ankles, and she wears this red gold twisted twisted bracelet on her ankles, and she is dressed in white, which is indeed easy to misunderstand.

She was humming something, sometimes low, sometimes loud, sometimes long, if she didn't listen carefully, it was indeed like crying, but in fact she was humming some tune, her voice was suppressed, and the melody was a little sad.

A figure came out of the inner room, shouted at the person on the swing, she stopped humming, stood up like a marionette, entered the house, she suddenly paused for a few seconds the moment she entered the room, turned around and raised her head at the position of the door, Li Yao gasped in fright, and almost shouted.

Her face was pale and pale, the first few hairs were scattered on her cheeks, she grinned at her, the smile was extremely weird, as if she could see her clearly through the thick courtyard door, but she was in the dark and she was in the light, she clearly couldn't see herself, and in just a short moment she put away her smile and turned into the room.

It took Li Yao a long time to smooth her breathing, and immediately pulled Yun Cui to escape and left Beiyuan.

She didn't sleep well at night, and when she closed her eyes, the woman's distorted and terrifying face always shook in front of her eyes.
