Chapter 12: The Red Abyss Emerges

The sky was blue, and the warm sunlight was shining through the gaps in the dense pine needles, forming beams of thick and thin pillars of light, illuminating the maple trees that fluttered with a light veil of mist.

It made Mu Bangting feel happy.

Since the last experience, she has learned to be obedient thoroughly, and she has done everything herself in terms of diet and did not dare to slack off.

Now, as usual, she came to the kitchen to help.

Like the ladies' meals, they are all graded, like Mu Bangxin and the second lady's dishes are generally five meats, one vegetarian and one soup, while Mu Jiaojiao and other ladies are all three meats, one vegetarian and one soup, and when it comes to Mu Bangting, it is one vegetarian and one meat and there is no soup.

Originally, Mu Bangting, as the concubine of Mu Mansion, should not have eaten so depressed and bleak, but the top and bottom of Mu Mansion were all full of people in the second room and Mu Bangxin, so naturally Mu Bangting couldn't help but cry out for grievances.

But since Mu Bangting came to help in the kitchen, her food has finally improved.

Although it is not as good as other young ladies' meals, you can still see some more meat foam coming out of her bowl.

This has nothing in common with maids and ladies of the same age, and there should be something to say with these aunts.

Mu Bangting was washing cabbage and gossiping with the kitchen lady.

"Erniang, I heard from other maids that today, it seems that the tall and thin steward with abrupt cheekbones died in his own house, and I don't know who this Steward Li offended."

When Erniang heard this, her face suddenly became a little innocent, but it was only for a moment, and she returned to normal.

"It's... Yes, then he will die when he dies, what do we subordinates do. ”

Although there is some truth in Erniang's words, her intuition tells Mu Bangting that this Erniang must have something to do with that Steward Li.

Today is the annual Qiqiao Festival, also known as the 'Tanabata Festival'.

Although, this kind of couple's holiday is not needed by others.

But the local custom here is that whether it is a New Year or a festival, a beggar or a Zhongyuan, it is indispensable to celebrate.

In such an extremely lively festival, it is natural that the government will also have to celebrate.

Every holiday, every family has to go to the market to buy items to decorate their mansions, just to have a festive time.

This may also be related to the local customs here, as for the purchase in Mufu, it is naturally more grand and gorgeous than ordinary people.

An old woman in a twenty-eight-year-old dress in a sequoia dress was cutting a turnip and asked:

"Girl Ting, Erniang can't be busy here, can you go to the market for Erniang to buy some dishes and come back."

If you want to come to this festival, you will inevitably have to ask people to play tricks, and she should have been a daughter, and she doesn't need to do everything herself, but who made her born with a bodhisattva heart?

"Okay, okay, I know, Erniang."

Mu Wangting responded sullenly, and then strode away with the vegetable basket.

On this day of the Begging Festival, the scene on the street is particularly lively, and festive lanterns are hung in front of the doors of every house.

The streets and alleys are boiling, and there are still vendors hawking. Recommend your own products.

From time to time, a few children will light fireworks in front of their homes and set them off in the sky, and sometimes there will be a few naughty children to join in the fun, and at this time, the street will become very lively.

The sky was full of colorful sparks, and the ground was full of red lights.

Seeing this grand and festive scene, the homesickness in Mu Bangting's heart also came spontaneously.

I can't help but think of my father in modern times.

If it weren't for her willfulness and persistence, perhaps... Father, he should still be alive in this world.

Mu Wangting shook her messy head to make herself happier.

Anyway, talking too much now is just adding to the sadness, and since you've come here, you can only be at peace when you come.

In short, she will live in this time and space instead of her father's faith and her own beliefs!

Unconsciously, Mu Bangting came to an extremely strange place.

Her sense of direction has always been bad, and she can't argue about the way, but now that she's lost, she admires herself.

In the haze, a silvery moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and the mournful cries of crickets filled the air.

The scent of lavender fills the air, weaving a soft net that envelops all the scenery.

All the eyes touched was something covered with this soft net, and every grass and tree carried an extremely cool chill.

Originally, it was a beautiful place.

But vaguely, Mu Bangting always felt that something was wrong. She was clearly walking down the alley.

Mu Wangting suddenly understood something, and turned her head suddenly.

But she found that the road she came from had been covered by lavender, and she couldn't see anything other than the lavender, and she couldn't hear other people's voices.

She squatted on the ground in fear, her hands folded together, and buried herself in her lap in some frustration, knowing that she would not come out to buy food.

At most, go to work.

……

Intermittently, the moonlight was soon obscured by dark clouds, leaving only an endless darkness.

Mu Wangting picked up the basket and ran forward in fear, sweat covering her forehead, but she didn't dare to wipe it, there was only one thought, get out of here!

Suddenly, a burst of white light came into her eyes, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw and ran forward desperately.

Because she ran so hard, she fell on an inconspicuous rock.

She had to stop and rub her sprained foot.

And the light I touched just now turned out to be a beautiful woman dressed in white.

Mu Bangting raised her forehead lightly, but she couldn't help but be stunned by this woman.

She thought that she was already at the beauty level, but she didn't expect that there would be a woman even more beautiful than Wang Zhaojun Xi Shi.

I saw that the woman was facing the sea of flowers, her body was slender, her long hair was draped behind her back, and she was gently held by a red ribbon. Dressed in white, the flowers are even more vivid, only to feel that there seems to be smoke behind her, when she is really not in the world, when she turned around, only to see her Fang Dangshaoling, but eighteen years old, the skin is better than snow, delicate and incomparable, the complexion is beautiful, and it cannot be forced to look.

The woman stepped forward and stretched out a palm as white as jade to pull Mu Bangting up.

The woman's elegant jade face is painted with light plum blossom makeup, and the delicate face shows a trace of charm, which is intimidating; If it was like a fairy, it was like a fairy with an outstanding demeanor and a captivating country, but now it is like a fairy who has fallen into the dust by mistake and has been contaminated with a trace of dust.

She smiled at Mu Wanting.

"Are you alright?"

Mu Bangting, who was watching in a trance, was called back to her senses by the woman's call.

"No... It's okay. ”

Among the dazzling lavender, there is a beautiful woman, Mu Bangting feels weird no matter how she thinks about it.

But I still can't help but be amazed by this woman's face.

"Why are you here?"

As if she knew Mu Wanting's thoughts, the woman covered her sleeves gently, and chuckled:

"Yuan'er knows where to go."

Mu Wangting's face changed drastically, and she scolded:

"The girl knows? If the girl knows, can she take the little girl out? As if grasping at a life-saving straw, she held the woman's hands tightly. She had to seize this opportunity.

Then, the red rope on the beautiful sister's hand was ripped off by her.

Mu Ting was embarrassed for a while.
