Chapter 170: It's Finally Here
Suddenly, squatting in the corner, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the place at the door of the firewood room.
Just because in this silent night, a clear sound of footsteps came into her ears, although the sound was a little slight, but Mrs. Zhang could hear it clearly.
Because of the footsteps, Mrs. Zhang's body was suddenly startled, and in the room without a trace of light, she looked at the direction from which the footsteps came from in fear.
Outside the door of this firewood room, is there death, or is there still a chance to live?
What's out there at this door?
She didn't know, she wanted to know, but she didn't want to know.
Hopelessness?
Despair is killing people in the dead of night, and hope is saving people in the middle of the night.
The footsteps seemed to be extremely slow, but one after another, as if rhythmic, beat on Mrs. Zhang like a drum.
Just like the sound of drumming footsteps, it was as if she was about to come to ask for her life, and Mrs. Zhang was already extremely nervous at this moment.
Mrs. Zhang's old eyes didn't dare to blink and look at the door, and a big drop of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her whole body trembled compared to before, and she became uncontrollable trembling.
With a soft sound, the door of the firewood room was gently pushed open.
Suddenly, a dark red light instantly came into people's eyes, only to see the person who appeared in front of the door of the firewood room, holding a red lantern in his hand, the color of the lantern was already a little terrible at night, and the lantern was painted with strange patterns, which was even more weird.
With the movement of a dark red lantern, like a ghost fire, it walked towards Mrs. Zhang in the corner, as if to take her life.
Under the reflection of this dark red light, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly lowered her head, she was already so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, and her teeth kept trembling.
After the person with the lantern entered the house, he did not immediately walk towards Mrs. Zhang, but stood quietly.
Mrs. Zhang also seemed to have noticed the abnormality of the person carrying the lantern, and slowly raised her sweaty head to see who was standing in the place where the dark red light emanated.
A figure shrouded in a black cloak, covered in pitch black, could not see what the person looked like.
Under the dark red light, a black figure was reflected, the shadow was stretched long, and I didn't know who it was, and the panic in my heart was even worse.
Finally, the black figure moved, untied the cloak on his body, and revealed a round and beautiful, fair-skinned little face, the girl under the cloak turned out to be Xie Shu.
The girl seems to have grown taller again, her whole body is more slender again, her face is smaller than before, and she is becoming more and more beautiful, but her beautiful face is under the dark red* lantern, which makes Xie Shu look like a living person at all.
Xie Shu looked at Mrs. Zhang who was shrinking in the corner expressionlessly, with a pair of eyes as deep as Gu Tan, without any fluctuations, and the red candlelight reflected in her eyes, as if she was urging her life.
When Mrs. Zhang saw the appearance of the person who came, she was overjoyed.
Xie Shu gently placed the somewhat terrifying lantern emitting dark red light in her hand on the ground, walked to Mrs. Zhang unhurriedly, and stood quietly in front of her.
Standing for about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Zhang's eyes kept staring intently at Xie Shu in front of her.
Xie Shu suddenly chuckled, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, all the emotions that Mrs. Zhang had endured before seemed to explode at this moment.
"Thankfully, you're here, Miss, you're here. Mrs. Zhang muttered repeatedly.
Xie Shu looked at Mrs. Zhang, who was a little overwhelmed in front of her, and didn't say anything, but still smiled slightly.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Xie Shu's appearance and said excitedly: "The old slave knows that Miss must have my mother-in-law in her heart, Miss is so kind-hearted, she will definitely not let it go, she will definitely come to save me, the old woman, Miss Old Slave is waiting for you so hard......"
Mrs. Zhang didn't want this old face at all, she crawled directly to Xie Shu's feet, grabbed Xie Shu's dress tightly, and cried a grievance, tears flowed down her face, as if Xie Shu was her relative, and kept complaining.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang, who was holding the corner of Xie Shu's skirt, was already terrified to the extreme, where would she pay attention to Xie Shu's unusualness, but she just cried to her, telling her what happened here, hoping that Xie Shu could save her from this sea of suffering as soon as possible.
Xie Shu glanced at Mrs. Zhang, who was sobbing at her feet, and chuckled: "Looking at the appearance of your mother-in-law, has she suffered a lot of sins in this place?"
Xie Shu's words, although they were said gently, the taste was also very mild, but it always sounded a little wrong.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhang raised her head when she heard Xie Shu's words, and kept her head at her feet, quietly looking at Xie Shu in front of her.
Xie Shu's little face did not have an extra look, and the smile was also soft and gentle, but this smile seemed to be as if there was no smile, and it was too calm in the face of this matter, especially after hearing that she was suffering, her expression still did not change at all, as if her heart was like stopping water.
Mrs. Zhang only found out at this moment that this Xie Shu, whom they had always thought was a fool, she had never seen through it, and she had thoroughly understood it, and at this time she couldn't understand Xie Shu in front of her at all.
"Miss, since you were born, my wife and I have always been by your side, watching you grow from a screaming baby to a slim girl, the mother-in-law's heart has always loved Miss, and her loyalty to Miss can be seen by the sun and the moon. On the day of returning to the village, the old slave just wanted to see if the young lady got up to prepare breakfast for the young lady, but unexpectedly ran into such a scene, the young lady, the old slave was really too wronged, and he couldn't say that there was nowhere to talk about the injustice, and he gave people a misunderstanding. Mrs. Zhang said.
Xie Shu seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "It seems that my mother-in-law seems to regard me as a life-saving straw, but I don't have any way! What can I say about this huge Xie Mansion? I am not the one in charge of this Xie Mansion, but my second aunt and the person in charge of the house have not said anything, so how can I interfere? Besides, I don't have such ability at all. ”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her face was full of panic, and she said hurriedly: "Miss, you are so smart, how can there be no way?"
