It's just that one day, the firecrackers watched the eldest lady and the lover go to the backyard as usual, but a figure came out behind the rockery, a touch of green, it was the maid in the garden, the pearl bird who liked to meet with the housekeeper behind the rockery, peeking at the direction of the eldest lady's departure.

Seeing this situation, the firecrackers not only remembered a sentence: "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." "But she didn't want to be a yellow sparrow, because she didn't want to worry about it at all.

Don't grasp the master's handle, if the East Window incident happens, even if the master is ruined, how good will his fate be?

Firecracker thought that she would keep this big secret and countless small secrets and spend the rest of her time in peace, but probably the sky is a big deal, and her stable days are finally over.

That night, the moon was still bright and the weather was slightly cold, and most of the people in the house went to bed early, and in the middle of the night, firecrackers poured out of the nest and climbed up to the old place, ready to spend the most pleasant hour of the day.

That night, I always felt a little noisy, not related to the knowledge on the tree, nor the occasional slight blowing of grass, probably because of the unrest in my heart, and I always felt that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, just when the firecrackers were about to get off the tree and go back to the house early, they suddenly heard a scream near the rockery, and the firecrackers almost fell from the tree.

Before she had time to think about it, she got down the tree and rushed towards the rockery. A figure flashed among the flowers, and the pearl finch lay on the ground, blood oozing from under it.

The firecracker lifted the sparrow, but found that it was too late, the sparrow's throat was cut and it had already lost its breath.

For the first time in her life, she witnessed murder, and she was so frightened that she didn't even have the strength to scream, her throat seemed to be choked, she tried her best but found that she couldn't shout too loudly, and looked around, obviously the screams of the pearl sparrow did not attract the attention of others,

The firecracker carefully put the body of the pearl finch back on the ground, and with great effort it took a lot of effort to get up, stumbling into the yard, knocking on the doors of the people's houses, and shouting in a hoarse voice, "Kill, come out!" ”

After a while, a maid ran out and complained, "What's wrong? What kind of demon are you doing at night? ”

Firecracker couldn't care who it was, and she shouted with all her might: "The pearl bird was killed, in the garden." ”

"What ?!!" The maid was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly ran to the garden, and the maids who followed out the day after tomorrow also heard about the house, and followed behind to look for the rockery.

When the crowd arrived, the sparrow's blood was almost gone.

The firecracker leaned against the door, unable to stand up again. She didn't know what happened next, because she passed out.

I don't know how long it took, she was woken up by Mo'er's strong King Kong palm, she was just frightened, and she was dizzy from being shaken, and the firecrackers looked at Mo'er's face and almost vomited.

Mo'er didn't pay attention to the strange expression on the firecracker's face, and hurriedly said, "Wake up, the master has summoned you to the front hall." ”

"Sir? The old man she hasn't seen half a time in the three years she has been in the house? The firecracker rolled his eyelids and almost fainted again.

On the way to the front hall, Firecrackers kept trying to keep his head less cloudy, so as to prevent the confusion of speech from getting into trouble for a while.

But she found that no matter how much she tried to refresh herself, her head hurt, her eyes were flowery, and she just wanted to sleep.

Those who should have come are still coming, but what are you afraid of, she didn't kill people, and she didn't have a murder weapon, so she can't be identified as cutting the throat of the pearl sparrow with her fingernails.

And she didn't say a word to the swaggering maid of the pearl sparrow....

"Don't kneel down for the master yet, what do you think?!" A scolding interrupted Firecracker's thoughts.

It turned out that she had unconsciously entered the front hall and walked in front of the master, and at this time, Manager Li was standing aside and looking at her unhappily.

"Say hello to the master, I've seen the master with firecrackers." Firecracker hurriedly knelt down, lowered his head, and only a pair of boots from his master were left in his sight.

"I heard that you found the body of the pearl sparrow and saw her killed?" The old man asked.

"It's... It was discovered by the slave maid. The firecracker buried her head lower, and she didn't even want to see the master's boots.

"It seems that this kid is not lightly frightened, he raised his head, lowered his head and said in a sullen voice?" The old man said.

"Yes...... It's ......" Firecracker slowly raised his head reluctantly, and saw the old man's boots, robe, sleeves, and neck, and finally fixed on a sharp face of vicissitudes.

Originally.... It turns out that this is the legendary all-powerful master! Firecracker thought to himself

"Do you see the assailant?" The old man took a sip of tea and asked in a normal tone.

"No.. No, I heard the cry and ran over to see that the sparrow was already lying there. Firecracker said, "I don't see who it is." ”

"What are you doing outside in the middle of the night? It's so coincidental that you bumped into it? Steward Li asked with a sharp voice

"I'm going to the thatched house, people have three urgency." Firecrackers whispered to defend that the thatched house is really a paradise to hide from right and wrong.

But she didn't dare to be too tough, after all, she had already heard of Mr. Li's small belly chicken intestines, and she didn't dare to offend.

"A girl, go to the thatched house in the middle of the night, you are still...."Manager Li was really angry.

"That's it!" The old man waved his hand, "It's normal to get up at night, there's no need for Manager Li to get to the bottom of it, it's just a child." ”

"Yes, sir." Manager Li glanced at the firecrackers helplessly.

"Do you know if there was anyone who offended Pearlfinch during her lifetime?"

"I don't know, I don't know Zhuque well, and I haven't even talked to each other."

Firecracker thought to herself, I don't know if she offended anyone, but I know who she has a private meeting with. But I won't say that.

"A garden maid, you tell me that you two are not acquainted?" Mr. Li asked through gritted teeth.

It's coming and going, which is Mr. Li, this is clearly Gonggong Li.

"Zhuque, the eldest lady's personal maid, doesn't communicate much with us miscellaneous maids on weekdays." Firecracker said.

"Yes!" The old man put down the teacup and nodded, "I've seen that girl a few times, and her heart is quite high." ”

Chapter 5 is like a dream

It is estimated that as soon as he heard the old man speak for firecrackers, Manager Li became energetic again.

"The old body thinks that it is really redundant to recruit these weak girls in the house, and they will not behave in the world, they will know that they run the toilet at night if they are lazy, and they also bring a body of bad luck to the house to attract murder."

Listening to this set of rhetoric about pouring feces on people, Firecracker looked at Manager Li with wide eyes in surprise.

"Staring at me to see what to do, it's really uneducated." Manager Li shouted dissatisfiedly, rolling his eyes and having a fight with the third lady.

"Okay, Steward Li, don't worry about a child, you can retreat first, it's late, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning, don't alarm the old lady to rest." The old man waved his hand.

"Don't get out of here!" Manager Li scolded the firecrackers at the top of his throat.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." The firecracker was happy in his heart, and quickly got up and retreated quickly.

"What a girl who doesn't know the rules!" Manager Li looked at the back of the firecracker trot and scolded.

"Although it is not unusual for a subordinate to die, but in the mansion to kill and commit murder, this person's courage is also rampant." Manager Li turned around and bowed his head to the old man and said.

"A knife cutting your throat is ruthless enough, I'm afraid it was premeditated." The old man stood up and paced back and forth, I'm afraid things are not so simple.

"I don't want to take care of the affairs of the back garden anymore, so I'll leave this matter to the eldest lady tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." Mr. Li said.

After finally glancing at the moonlight outside the door, the old man turned around and lifted the curtain and walked into the back hall.

Only Mr. Li was left in the front hall looking at the chair thoughtfully.

The firecrackers returned to the house, and the young people in the same room, Feng Rong, had not slept yet, and they chattered quietly and didn't know what they were saying.

When I saw the firecrackers entering the house, I invariably closed my mouth.

Firecrackers lay on the bed in a daze, thinking that she would never climb trees at night again, so that whoever died and who fell had nothing to do with her.

"Firecrackers!" Seeing the firecrackers looking like they were going to sleep, they didn't plan to explain anything to them, so the two girls came to the side of the firecracker bed.

"I didn't kill people, don't ask me!" The firecrackers didn't even lift their eyelids.

"How did the pearl finch die? I heard that she had been stabbed more than a dozen times, and her body was covered in blood. Jue'er whispered.

"Me too, I ran over there with the big guy, and when I saw blood on the ground, I ran back, so I didn't dare to look at it." Feng Rong echoed.

"It must have been hacked to death, otherwise how could there be so much blood." Jue'er pushed the firecrackers, "Did you say?" Firecracker? ”

"She had her throat cut and blood was dripping all over the ground." Firecrackers suddenly opened their eyes and startled the two maids.

"Her body is covered with blood, her eyes are wide open, and it is said that the person who cuts her throat is very resentful, and her ghost does not go away, and she likes to find people who don't sleep in the middle of the night to follow." Firecrackers didn't blink with their eyes, staring straight at the gauze tent on the top of the bed.

The two of them gasped in fright and almost screamed. Seeing the hellish appearance of firecrackers, I was even more scared, so you pushed me back to bed and lay down.

When they dispersed, the firecrackers finally closed their eyes and sank into a dream in an instant, no matter how terrifying it was to recall the death of the pearl bird, they couldn't stop her from going to see Zhou Gong's footsteps.

If she could, she wished it was just a dream, and when she woke up, the moonlight was still there, the pearl finch was still there, and she could lie on the treetops at night and discover one secret after another in the house.

She never thought that more than ten years later, she still hoped every day before going to bed that her life was just a dream.

Even if it is like a dream or an illusion, it will eventually be trapped in it and cannot be freed, this is life.
