At this time, my great-grandmother was holding Zhengxiang, who was sleeping in the Xianglou, and suddenly, my great-grandmother sat up from my great-grandmother's arms, slowly turned his head, stared at the window, and cried out with a "wow".

My great-grandmother felt shallow, and as soon as my grandfather sat up, she woke up, and before she could ask me if my grandfather wanted to pee, my grandfather had already started crying.

My grandfather was very well-behaved when he was a child, he didn't cry often, and this was the first time he cried in the middle of the night, and he cried with all his might, and his voice was hoarse after a few times.

My great-grandmother was scared, so she quickly hugged him, patted him on the back and coaxed him, but to no avail, my grandfather still cried non-stop.

It didn't take much effort, my grandfather couldn't cry anymore, and his body was leaning on my great-grandmother's arms, as if he was tired of crying, and it was more like crying out of breath. Still, my grandfather's eyes were staring at the window, as if he had been frightened by something terrible.

At this time, the light inside the room was dim, relatively speaking, the outside of the room seemed quite bright, and the cold moonlight Bai Sensen entered the room through the window, reflecting the window grilles on the window to the ground, looking like he was dancing with his teeth and claws.

It was only then that my great-grandmother noticed that something was wrong with my grandfather's eyes, so she followed my grandfather's eyes and glanced at the window......

At the moment when my great-grandmother's eyes touched the window, a blue shadow floated outside the window, and my great-grandmother didn't have time to be surprised, the blue shadow actually pressed her whole body tightly to the window, like a window flower, but it couldn't block the moonlight coming in from the outside, and the light in the room didn't fall because it blocked the window, the thing was just so sticky, weird, cold, and transparent......

My great-grandmother finally came to her senses, and she screamed "ah" in fright.

At this moment, the blue shadow attached to the window spoke, and his voice was quite urgent, "Miss, Miss, don't scream, I'm ...... I'm Xiaolan, I'm Xiaolan, miss, miss, don't be afraid......"

Hearing the blue shadow outside say that she was Xiaolan, my great grandmother relieved herself a little, stopped screaming, and then quickly calmed down. After all, Xiaolan is her personal maid, like a sister, there is nothing to be afraid of, and my great-grandmother remembers that on August 15, Xiaolan seems to be wearing a blue long dress, and then look at the blue figure pasted on the window, the silhouette, the figure, it really looks like Xiaolan, but through a layer of window paper, my great-grandmother can't see Xiaolan's face clearly.

However, my great-grandmother's question soon came, Xiaolan has been missing for seven or eight days, and she has searched all over the house, inside and outside the city, and she can't find it, why did Xiaolan suddenly appear outside the window of the Xianglou in the middle of the night today, which is very difficult to accept.

Before my great-grandmother could say anything, Xiaolan spoke again, "Miss, don't be afraid, I found a man who loves me, I am going to go with him now, I am here to say goodbye to you." ”

Hearing Xiaolan say this, my great-grandmother still didn't speak, and hugged my grandfather tightly with her two arms. At this time, my grandfather was lying in my great-grandmother's arms with his eyes closed, not crying or making trouble, as if he was asleep.

After all, my great-grandmother has been following my great-grandfather for five or six years, and although she has never seen many things, she has heard my great-grandfather tell her a little bit, such as ghosts climbing walls, ghosts sticking to windows, ghosts knocking on doors, and so on.

Thinking of what my great-grandfather told her, my great-grandmother felt that Xiaolan at this time was probably no longer human, and her whole body was cold.

At this time, Xiaolan spoke again, "Miss, my father and mother died when I was very young, my uncle sold me to the master as a maid, and the master and I let you serve you, I am a maid, you didn't look down on me, treat me like a sister, I feel that you are my sister, I am leaving today, I will come back to tell you, Miss, take care, I am gone, Xiaolan is gone, ......" Xiaolan's voice fell, and the blue figure attached to the window disappeared suddenly, as if it had never appeared.

The whole world returned to normal at this moment, the moonlight was still white outside the window, and it was quiet, and another team of courtyard warriors and family members came back from patrolling the front yard, making a long series of clear and dull footsteps under the incense building, and occasionally there was a cough from among those people.

At this time, my great-grandmother shivered, slowly opened her eyes, and found herself lying on her back on the bed, wet with cold sweat, the room was still dark and dark, and the moonlight shining into the room from the window was still bleak and bleak, but there was no trace of the blue figure.

The footsteps of the patrolling family downstairs also became louder and farther, and the sound became smaller and smaller, and gradually became inaudible.

My great-grandmother touched her side for the first time, and just touched my grandfather's small belly, and they fell together, and my grandfather was obviously sleeping soundly, as if my grandfather had never woken up at all, let alone cried.

My great-grandmother breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that what she saw and heard just now was just a dream she had?

The next day, my great-grandmother took my grandfather accompanied by the maid Xiaoxiang and a martial artist to play in the city for a day, although she was confused by the strange, almost real dream at night, but she didn't care too much, she felt that maybe because of Xiaolan's disappearance, she had a dream day and night, but a dream is a dream after all, even if it is real, it is just a dream.

No words for a day. In the evening, the old cook who was in charge of cooking for Cai's house came to Cai Wenye from the room in a panic, saying that his apprentice was missing.

The old cook said that he had seen his apprentice before going to bed last night, and the apprentice brought him water for washing his feet and washed his feet, but when he came early in the morning, the clothes were all there, but the person was gone.

The old cook and his apprentice were not in the big room where the family lived, and the two of them lived in a small side room next to the house, which was considered a special treatment.

At first, the old cook thought that his apprentice was called by the people in the house to do something else, but he didn't expect that from morning to noon, from noon to night, he didn't see the apprentice's shadow all day, and in the afternoon, the old cook also asked a few family members who had a good relationship with the apprentice, and those family members said that they didn't see him.

After going back and forth, it was at night, and the more the old cook thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly came to report to Cai Wenye.

When Cai Wenye heard this, the green tendons in his head jumped up, the matter of the maid Xiaolan has not yet been resolved, and now a little cook has disappeared, what is wrong with them Cai Fu?

When the old cook told Cai Wenye that his apprentice was missing, my great-grandmother happened to hear it next to her, which reminded her of the dream she had last night, in which Xiaolan said that she found a man who loved her, and the man Xiaolan said could it be the old cook's apprentice, and the two of them would elope together?

However, to talk about elopement, it seems a bit unreasonable. Cai Wenye once said in advance, if Xiaolan wants to get married, she can do it at any time, and Cai Fu also prepared a dowry for her, there is no reason why she doesn't want to elope with someone with a dowry.

When Cai Zhang, the old housekeeper, told my great-grandfather about this, my great-grandfather interjected, saying that this Xiaolan might have died on the night of August 15, and that his wish might not have been fulfilled before he died. Xiaolan gave my great-grandmother a dream goodbye, the next day the little cook disappeared, it is not a coincidence, the little chef is likely to be killed by Xiaolan's ghost, Xiaolan may have feelings for this little chef before her death, and after death, she wants to be a ghost couple with the little chef in the underworld, when she gave my great-grandmother a dream, the little chef may have died, Xiaolan's wish has been fulfilled, so she dreamed goodbye to my great-grandmother.

When my great-grandfather said the above things, he analyzed them from his own professional point of view, and it would be another matter if the officials of the yamen did it, and they generally did not involve the gods and ghosts in the disappearance case. If my great-grandfather heard what the people in the yamen heard, they would definitely not believe it, and if they didn't do well, they would say that my great-grandfather was lying and telling the public. Of course, except for the county officials of Yanjin County.

After my great-grandfather finished speaking, my great-grandmother and the old housekeeper Cai Zhang nodded together. The old housekeeper Cai Zhang took a sip of tea and continued: "Uncle, you said that Xiaolan killed Zhang Jiang, I believe it, but the stranger thing is still to come, you listen to me and tell you slowly......"

The little cook, that is, the Zhang Jiang mentioned by the housekeeper Cai Zhang, disappeared, and the Cai Mansion made a big fight again. This time, even the county magistrate couldn't sit still, because the arrest of the investigation of Xiaolan's disappearance was in and out of Cai's Mansion every day, it can be said that Cai's Mansion was heavily guarded at this time, and in this case, under the eyes of the people who investigated the case, Cai's Mansion still had people missing, which was probably not just blocking Cai's Mansion, this was deliberately provoking the government.

At that time, there were already bandits who tied up meat tickets and extorted money, but the area of Kaifeng was relatively peaceful, and I hadn't heard of bandits making noise anywhere.

At this time, according to my speculation, the secret edict of the Tongzhi Emperor may have come to Kaifeng Mansion, and the government government notified the various county governments under its jurisdiction as soon as possible.

At this time, the people in the county government no longer regarded Xiaolan's disappearance and the disappearance of children as the same thing, and they believed that the disappearance of Xiaolan and Zhang Jiang was most likely the work of bandits who tied up meat tickets. However, if you want to say that you kidnap the meat ticket, how can you kidnap the maid cook. For the county government, this is the biggest suspicion of the case.

The county government investigated the case of Xiaolan's disappearance and the case of Zhang Jiang's disappearance in today's words, that is, the two cases were investigated together as one thing.

However, the county government quickly checked and checked, and had no clue, if it was said that the bandits had tied up meat tickets, it had been a few days, and someone should have placed an order for Cai's house. Most of them take advantage of the night to stuff a note from the crack in the door, with a list of how much money or items the family prepares for the meat ticket, buy their lives and redeem people, etc., and some are bold enough to come to the door directly
