Chun Ying screamed and took a few steps back, only to realize that the face was somewhat familiar, and under the light of the lantern, a long shadow fell on the ground behind him. She calmed down, raised the lantern and looked at it a few times, and recognized that it was the strange man in black who she had seen a few months ago by the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and was looking at herself with a blank face, and suddenly became angry: "What are you doing running out at night and pretending to be a ghost?!" Don't you know that people can be scared to death?! If you scare me out of my illness, will you pay me?! ”

The strange man in black moved slightly, took two steps forward, Chun Ying's anger did not subside, and he crossed his waist when he saw this: "What are you doing?!" Are you going to threaten me?! ”

The strange man in black didn't move, and was silent for a while before he said in a muffled voice: "You can't go in." ”

"Who's going in?!" Chun Ying said angrily, "Master Hou's order is not to go to the house at the bottom of the mountain, it's still far away!" I'm just picking a few bamboo leaves, what? This bamboo belongs to yours? No one is allowed to pick it?! "Obviously, this place is nearly 100 meters away from the foot of the mountain, can this strange man run out and be scared?

The strange man in black was silent again, Chun Ying gasped a few times, and her anger gradually subsided, and she began to be a little afraid. This strange man doesn't look like a good person, just now he was angry at him on the spur of the moment, if he was angry, would he ......

Chunying's mind suddenly appeared "Moon. Black Wind High Murder Night", here is still a long way from the garden gate, and there is a forest and a few buildings in the middle, it is dark around, there is no one else, it seems to be far away from the house last night, if this strange person is really not good for her, even if she shouts for help, others will not have time to save her, right? If the strange man gets ruthless, dig a pit on the spot and bury her, or simply throw her into an icy pool......

She shuddered, just to see that strange. The person didn't move, her face was expressionless and she didn't know what she was thinking, she rolled her eyes a few times, and then slowed down her voice: "This ...... Eldest brother...... I guess you must be guarding nearby, right? This one...... I have absolutely no intention of violating Lord Hou's orders! I definitely don't have the heart to find out any secrets! I am the third young master's girl, and I will pick a few bamboo leaves on his orders and go back, just a few, just ...... Those ...... slices" She cringed and pointed to the bamboo branch beside the stranger: "Pick it and leave, okay?" ”

The strange man turned his head to look at the bamboo branch and stretched out his hand. took a handful of it down and handed it to Chunying. Chunying took it carefully and smiled at him a few times: "Thank you...... Thank you......" and slowly retreated, and suddenly found that the burden he was holding was gone, and he didn't know when it fell to the ground, and he laughed carefully, and quickly stepped forward to pick up two cloth bags, and then kept laughing and retreating, bumping into a bamboo tree on the way, bending down in pain, and when he straightened up, he found that there was no one in the bamboo forest except her, and the strange man in black had long since disappeared.

Is he a human or a ghost? Just a moment of effort......

A cold wind blew, Chun Ying sneezed, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she hurriedly ran in the direction of the garden gate.

When I arrived at the gate of the garden, I saw the mother-in-law guarding the gate carrying a lantern from a distance. was waiting for her, and as soon as I saw her, I asked, "Girl, are you shouting?" Bumpers? ”

Chunying didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to wave her hand and say, "It's okay. It's okay", and ran as fast as he could. The woman looked back at the shadow of the mountain in the distance, and saw that between the shaking of the branches and leaves, there was a faint light that was faintly extinguished, and the fear in her heart gradually spread in her heart, and she hurriedly ran back to the house, closed the doors and windows, and threw herself in front of the shrine to chant.

Chunying ran all the way back. Huanhuaxuan, the lantern hanging outside the courtyard gate has not been extinguished, Mei Xiang stood under the lamp, looking at the direction of the garden worriedly, and when she appeared, she greeted her happily: "I came back so late, I'm still worried about what happened to you." ”

Chun Ying settled down a little, and smiled and handed over the bamboo leaves and the skirt given by Begonia: "How can there be something?" I couldn't find the bamboo leaves that hadn't dried up, so it took a little more time. Sister, see if this skirt is the one you want? ”

Mei Xiang didn't check, so she hugged her in her arms and stretched out her hand to hold her: "You are doing something, what else am I worried about?" Looking back, I'm looking back. Tell me, it was a pretty smooth journey, right? It's dark and cold in the garden, doesn't it scare you, does it? ”

It was indeed frightened, Chunying wanted to spit out her bitterness, but suddenly remembered that it was easy to get involved in the last time she inadvertently ran into the forbidden land, and hurriedly shook her head and said: "It's just that it's dark and you can't see the road clearly, but it's actually nothing." Is there anything else going on with Sister Meixiang? I'm sleepy. ”

Mei Xiang hurriedly let go of her hand: "Then you go and rest, they are already asleep." ”

Chunying responded, slowed down and returned to her room, seeing that Shi'er and Xia He were indeed asleep, she put the small burden for Aunt Li on the counter, planning to give it to her tomorrow morning, and changed out of her clothes, broke her hair, and added a few new charcoal to the brazier, and then went to bed.

Two days later, Chunying sent something to the maid next to her wife again, but this time in the afternoon. She has been delivering things for Mei Xiang lately, and occasionally once or twice for Lan Xiang and Lu'er. Originally, the errand of delivering things was a fat difference for the girls in Huanhuaxuan, not only could they take the opportunity to play and relax, but also had the opportunity to get a reward, seeing that Chunying was always sent out, some people had gossiped. Fortunately, what she received was sent by the big girl, not to the masters of the courtyards, except for the occasional piece of cake or something, there was no reward to receive, and everyone didn't care.

After delivering the things, Chunying chatted with Wisteria for a while before returning to Huanhuaxuan. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she saw that the girls of all sizes were gathered in the front yard, chattering non-stop, she curiously pulled over the villagers present and asked, only to know that it was the second room who went south to be an official sent someone to send two cars of oranges back, the housekeeper just sent the third young master's share over, there was a basket, the third young master didn't want to eat fruit because it was cold, only two were left to try the fresh, and the others were distributed to the girls, so everyone would gather in the courtyard, presided over by Lan Xiang, standing in a row, and dividing the fruits.

Chunying saw it interesting, and hurriedly ran to the backyard to make an errand, thinking about coming out as soon as possible to divide the oranges, but she didn't expect Mei Xiang to change her habits, and after listening to her words, not only did she not let her go, but signaled her to go to the main house with her. Chun Ying was puzzled, followed her into the door, and saw that the third young master was sitting behind the big case again, so she knew that he must have been ordered, so she hurriedly stood with her hands and waited for him to speak.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xiang turned around and went out, leaving only the two of them in the house, Chun Ying suddenly became alert, secretly glanced at the third young master, and asked carefully, "What do you command?" ”

Li You was a little surprised to see the vigilance in the eyes of this little girl, and felt very interesting, so he beckoned to her: "You come over here, I have something to tell you." ”

Chun Ying became more vigilant in her heart, and said with a smile: "You just tell me." But he refused to move half a minute.

Li You smiled dumbly, but he was relieved: "I won't eat you again, what if you get closer?" I don't want people outside to hear me, come here! ”

Chun Ying hesitantly took a few steps closer to him, and stopped three meters away from him: "Please command." ”

Li You rubbed his head with a headache and sighed, "Okay." Listen to me. I've been paying attention to you this month, you're an honest girl, you're not stupid, and your mouth is tight, so I'm going to give you a heavy responsibility, you're going to do it for me, but don't let others know, can you do it? After a pause, he added: "As long as you do a good job, the reward will not be less, I can't call the shots of the monthly money, but the benefits are definitely yours." ”

Chunying was happy at first, and then noticed that something was wrong, and the alarm bell sounded in her heart. If there really is such a good thing, how can it be her turn? Except for occasionally thinking of a few new dishes, she hasn't shown any face in front of the third young master? So she remained silent: "Third Young Master, I don't dare to say this to you, if you have an order, just mention it, if I can't do it, aren't there still Sister Mei Xiang and Sister Lan Xiang?" My sisters are a hundred times more capable than me, and they are loyal to you, and they will surely satisfy you. But he refused to agree.

Li You frowned slightly, he noticed that this little girl seemed to be a little cunning, which was a little different from his impression. But he couldn't care about it that much, someone had been moving more and more excessively lately, and he didn't want to wait any longer. He said: "What I want you to do is to send something to a person, you have seen that person, you have been to the place, I think you still have a little guts, you should not be afraid to walk at night, right?" I don't want to send the big girl around me, it's too conspicuous, and your identity is just right, and it won't arouse suspicion. ”

Chunying asked cautiously, "What do you want to send to whom?" Is it in the house? I can't go out easily...... "During the time she entered the house, in addition to Huanhuaxuan, that is, when she sent things, she went to the courtyard of the old lady, wife and young lady, there are many places that I haven't visited, when have I seen a special person?"

"Zhumeng Mountain Residence under the Garden Mountain, have you been there?" Li You saw the clear look in Chunying's eyes, so he knew that she had guessed, and said with a smile, "It's the person you saw last time." ”

"But isn't that the eldest young master?" Chun Ying asked in surprise, she had always thought it was the eldest young master, and she was very sympathetic, but how did the third young master know that she had seen him?

Li You's face showed a hint of astonishment: "How is it possible?!" That man...... He's completely different from his big brother! He seemed a little upset: "How could you have confused them?" It's too much! Nian Ge Ta...... He's a different person from his big brother! Chunying didn't dare to say anything more, so she hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to admit her mistake and reflect.

Li You was bored for a while, and then coughed twice: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's too cold this winter, I want to send him some food and clothing, but I don't want to alarm others, so I'm looking for you." How is it? It's an easy errand, right? ”

It sounds simple, but ......

Chun Ying asked: "Such a simple matter, why does the third young master hide it from others?" Command, naturally someone will do it. ”

"You don't understand, he ...... He has a special identity and cannot be known to outsiders. Li You said sullenly, thought about it, and revealed some truths to Chunying, lest she ask outsiders: "That was originally a family friend of our family, his father and my father had a good relationship, more than ten years ago, he was killed, and he was the only one left in the family." Fearing that the murderers of his family would hurt him again, my father hid him in the house and kept him from outsiders. But no matter how secret his whereabouts are, he still has to dress and eat, and now he ...... My second brother is becoming more and more domineering in the house, and he is at odds with Brother Nian, so he signaled the kitchen to deliberately slack. What do the kitchen guys know? Naturally, they did. Seeing that Brother Nian is getting more and more bitter, I can't see it! But ......" He gritted his teeth and said a little angrily: "Brother Nian always said that his father saved his life, and our whole family is his benefactor, and I don't want to discord our father and son because he is alone, so he always keeps quiet, and forces me not to tell anyone!" I can't do it, so I want to send things over by myself, I have a small kitchen here, cook an extra meal, and outsiders won't be suspicious. ”

Chunying then understood, but the third young master's words seemed to be a little vague, such as who was the murderer who killed the family of "Brother Nian"? The energy is so great that even Hou Ye doesn't pay attention to it? And why didn't Hou Ye help his good friend take revenge and punish the murderer, but instead just hid "Brother Nian" at home, and even the servants at home didn't know?

She was thinking about it, and Li You over there saw that she didn't agree, thinking that she was hesitating, so he simply gave another guarantee: "Don't worry, although my father ordered everyone not to approach Zhumeng Mountain Residence, someone asked you, you only need to mention my name, but you are not allowed to tell others!" If you do well, you will not only be rewarded, but you will also ...... I promise you that I will promise you one thing in the future, as long as I can do it. ”

Chun Ying was stunned, and a look of surprise immediately burst into her eyes: "Really?!" ”
