24. The moon is dark and the wind is high

Huo Chickweed, who heard the news of his younger brother and Xiong Er talking again, didn't know what kind of expression to put on.

simply let Huo Fanlou swing, and she slapped him on the ass, "Call you disobedient!" ”

Huo Fanlou put on a crying bitter gourd face with a wow.

By the time he asked the question, it was already after the story of two Jia Dongdong talking to strangers and being deceived.

"That's him talking nonsense with his eyes open!" Huo Chickweed crossed his arms, "How can my sister not be like you?" You're fat because you love candy, but your sister doesn't. ”

"Is it easy to get fat by eating sugar?" Huo Fanlou asked in a low voice with red eyes.

"Eating sugar is not only easy to get fat, but also easy to get old," Huo Chickweed replied to him with a cold face, and by the way, he told the story of Jia Dongdong's third time being deceived because of sugar and getting old because of eating sugar.

When Huo Fanlou had nothing to say and squatted on the futon to reflect, Huo Chickweed was still thinking about that question.

Why is Huo Fanlou fat but not fat?

Huo Chickweed remembered the scene when he took Huo Fanlou when he was a child.

She has never brought children, she was an only child in her previous life, she was still a single dog, she has no experience with children at all, everything is based on books. In addition, she has money in her hands, even if the eldest lady deducts her, she is not afraid, she will buy whatever is good, so Huo Fanlou is less than a year old, and she has been raised by her to look white and fat.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Huo Chickweed suddenly had an epiphany, the eldest lady wouldn't suspect that her younger brother was fat because she still had money on her, right?!

The more she thought about it, the more likely it was that she didn't pay attention to food and clothing on weekdays, so she only spent money on Huo Fanlou's food, and Huo Chickween suddenly remembered a sentence of chicken soup she had read.

Where you spend your money, the final harvest will be.

She spent the money on her brother's food, and finally harvested a fat dumpling.

So......

Does the eldest lady have to take her brother's food?

Huo Chickweed stood up, looked at the sky that was beginning to darken outside the tulle window, and sighed, "It's going to rain......

She looked at the clouds and speculated that the rain did not come so quickly, and it would take about two or three days or so, and if it was windy, it might not even fall. Either way, these clouds will be well shaded, especially at night.

She is too lazy to get involved in the struggle of those women's back house, even if it is for the sake of her father's face, she is not easy to start, so leaving is the best and fastest strategy.

If you can't leave openly, then run away secretly, she really doesn't want to face these people's faces.

——

It was night, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the capital was dark, and only some lights could be seen.

The guard's mother-in-law was called away, and Huo Chiwix and Autumn Luohui whispered in the ancestral hall to discuss leaving.

"Go while it's night."

"No, no," Luohui waved his hand hurriedly, "There is a curfew, the slave and maid have seen it in the past few days, and the curfew starts at night and is not released until the end of the next day." ”

Chickweed Huo: ...... How did she forget about it?

From the end of the night to the end of the next day, that is, from seven o'clock in the evening to five o'clock in the morning of the second day, Huo Chickweed thought carefully, "Then I will leave at the beginning of the day, rent a carriage, and I will be able to arrive in half an hour." ”

The two glanced at each other, and Luohui said, "The slave and maid have been looking for it for the past two days." ”

Autumn said, "The slave and maid pack their luggage." ”

Huo Fanlou on the side also hurriedly said, "I also packed my luggage." ”

Huo Chickweed laughed and blasted the three people away.

Large dark clouds fell on the dome like fish scales for two days, and finally at night they could not stand the raindrops, and the raindrops the size of beans splashed down, and the storm carried the rainfall on the ancestral hall, smashing the doors and windows with a bang.

There was no one guarding the ancestral hall, and a quarter of an hour ago, Huo Chickweed asked Luo Hui to bring his younger brother and Wei Shu and Wei Shan back to Mingzhao Pavilion, but fortunately they left early, otherwise they were afraid that they would be drenched in soup.

Qiu Color, who had not yet left, shrank under the table, "Miss, you are leaving tomorrow, why are you unhappy?" ”

Huo Chickweed's expression was cold, like the Nine Heavens Goddess sitting upright on the futon, and the sound of wind and rain was staggered, only her voice was like a jade bead rolling down, a clear and cold sound, "The mother-in-law who guarded us has been called away for two days, and the maids who guarded the door have all left, if they want to do it, tonight is the best time." ”

Qiu Se clenched her hands, "Then has anyone come in recently?" ”

Huo Chickweed understood what she meant, and shook her head, "No one has changed the incense candles." ”

The incense on the offering table curls around the smoke line, and most of the two pairs of red candles are still unburned, smoking the few tablets on the offering table.

Qiu Se leaned out and took a look, grabbing Huo Chickweed's hand with a pale face, "I'm afraid it will be ......"

Huo Chickweed didn't say a word, followed her gaze to look at the doors and windows, the wind gusted, blowing out the two lanterns under the eaves, but still couldn't shake the locked door, hitting the windows and shivering.

"We'll leave when the rain gets lighter," she said. ”

The cold wind was blowing, the dark clouds obscured all the brightness, the wind and rain covered the sound of heaven and earth, and the sky became darker and darker, and I could barely see my fingers.

In the windier woods, someone whimpered and walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

The night is dark, but the figures are darker than the night.

On the other side, someone walked in the dark with an umbrella, without even mentioning a lantern, and staggered to the ancestral hall next to the grove.

On the edge of the ancestral hall, there is not a single maid.

All the darkness is hidden in the night, and no one can see it. The rain poured, the eaves were loosened, and there was a scene of heavy rain outside and light rain inside the ancestral hall.

Outside the house, a thunderbolt suddenly cleaved, and the sky and the earth suddenly lit up in an instant, and then the drum roared, exploding in people's ears, and the doors and windows were blown up.

Outside, the door lock was loosened and clanged to the ground.

Huo Chickweed was covering her ears at this time, and was pulled under the table by Qiu Shi, "Miss, come in and hide from the rain." ”

However, even this sentence was drowned out by thunder.

The rain flowed for half an hour, and then the rain became lighter, and after another quarter of an hour, only a few drops of rain were occasionally heard.

This rain fell so heavily that half of the Huo family was flooded, and there was water on the bluestone ground, which was wet to the ankles as soon as he stepped on it.

Autumn Colors nudged Huo Chickweed, "Miss, let's go." ”

Huo Chickweed nodded, and when he left, he lifted the tablecloth and looked out, but saw that the door was ajar, the dark clouds dispersed, and a few thin rays of light sprinkled in, and in the distance, several lanterns flew like fireflies.

Huo Chickweed's heart suddenly sudden, she got out of the table and said, "Don't come here yet, I'll go and see the situation." ”

She opened the door, stepped out of the threshold, and stood under the gatehouse looking at the lanterns, behind which were six or seven figures, and the chuckle of warblers and swallows all the way.

Huo Chickweed walked down and suddenly found a black shadow raised in the water beach.

The shadow of the light waded through the water, reflecting the silhouette of the dark shadow in the waterfront.

The crowd breathed sluggishly.

Shaoqing screamed.

"Murder!"
