"Are you hungry?" After speaking, the old man took the soup on the fire: "Drink it while it's hot." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu felt the fragrance, and now she was hungry and thirsty, and she didn't wait for the old man to finish: "Be careful of burning." Lan Xiaoqiu had already stretched out her tongue when she was already hot.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry. Lan Xiaoqiu felt that her chest was pressed against her back, thinking that she must have experienced a disaster and was physically and mentally exhausted, so she felt very hungry.

"Let's drink the soup first, you haven't eaten for three days, so you can only drink some soup to make up for it." The old man said.

"What? Three days? Lan Xiaoqiu felt that being swept away by the mudslide had just happened, how could he wake up three days later?

The old man said: "It's cold here, so I can save your life, if it's hot outside, I'm afraid you won't wake up." ”

Hearing the cold, Lan Xiaoqiu remembered to snort. Just now, Lan Xiaoqiu felt that his body was cold, and looking around at the cave where he was seemed to be very deep, isolated from the world like an ice cellar, and there was a little ice slag condensed on the wall, which was also beautiful to reflect the firelight.

Lan Xiaoqiu hugged the quilt tightly: "But it's summer, why is it so cold here?" ”

"It's a magical place, I've lived here for decades, and its cold has calmed my heart a lot and cured me."

Lan Xiaoqiu looked at the old man's disabled leg and said with concern: "What's wrong with your leg?" ”

The old man smiled: "It was interrupted, so it's just a decoration now." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu didn't dare to ask any more, but said, "Do you live here all year round?" How can there be people living here? ”

The old man nodded: "I am a person who can't see the light, so I can only hide here for decades." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu took a breath of cool air, listening to the old man's tone, his leg was broken and he was hiding here for decades, that was either a violation by the imperial court or a heinous person.

The old man saw Lan Xiaoqiu's solemn face and said, "When your body recovers, leave it, don't tell others that you have seen me." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded desperately, she naturally wouldn't tell others, at least not now.

Lan Xiaoqiu held the soup in her hand, and she felt a little warm: "What kind of soup is this?" It smells so good. ”

"Ice snake soup, it's on top of your head." Lan Xiaoqiu looked up with the place where the old man was fingering, and when he saw it, he threw away the soup in his hand in fright.

On the top of Lan Xiaoqiu's head, there were several crawlers as big as earthworms tangled on the stone wall, and some of them were still hunched over the stone wall, as if they were about to fall. Lan Xiaoqiu saw that their bodies were white and transparent, so transparent that he could see the tissues in his body, and the thought of drinking this unknown species made Lan Xiaoqiu feel sick to his stomach.

The old man hurriedly stopped: "Don't vomit, it's a good medicine to nourish the body, it's a pity to vomit." The old man cleaned up Lan Xiaoqiu's scattered rice bowls, there seemed to be some residues in it, and he poured all the waste into his throat, and said, "Although there is no shortage of ice snakes here, if I don't save you, I don't want to harm them." ”

Although Lan Xiaoqiu couldn't accept it, she was still grateful: "Thank you, what do you call it?" ”

"I have no name and no surname, you are gone, don't come back, just treat me as a passerby, call me an old man."

Lan Xiaoqiu Lan Xiaoqiu didn't want to cause trouble, so she turned over and got out of bed and said, "Thank you for saving me, I'm going back to find my friend." ”

When the old man saw that Lan Xiaoqiu was leaving, he took out something from his arms and said, "Is this yours?" ”

Lan Xiaoqiu turned his head and saw that his red pendant was in the palm of the old man's hand, and the old man said, "I picked it up by your side, it is a magical pendant." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu took the pendant from the old man's hand and asked in a daze, "Does the old man know where it came from?" ”

"I don't know where it came from, but when you rolled down the mountain, I saw that your whole body glowed red, as if you were covered with a protective aperture. I think it's this aperture that kept you alive. The old man waved his hand at Lan Xiaoqiu: "Let's go, your family should be in a hurry." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu put away the jade pendant, she went down the mountain, and seemed to drink the transparent 'earthworm', and her body was much better.

Lan Xiaoqiu thought of the last time Xiao Er was so frightened when she was lying on the bed, and she understood everything.

Lan Xiaoqiu did not go back to Fang's house, but went to find Ruosu, and Ruosu saw that Lan Xiaoqiu's anxious mood finally eased. Ruosu took Lan Xiaoqiu's hand and said, "After the rain stopped that day, I went to Fang's house to pick you up, but they said that you didn't see anyone for a day, and after waiting for another day, you still haven't seen you, so I'm in a hurry." Looking around for my sister, someone just now said that I saw you go to Yeshan, and I was about to look for you. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu smiled slightly: "I did go to Yeshan." ”

Ruosu pulled Lan Xiaoqiu nervously and asked, "What are you doing there?" It's going to be a grave on a rainy day, so why are you going there? ”

"Looks like you know." Lan Xiaoqiu was even more determined.

"Everyone in the capital knows it."

Lan Xiaoqiu told Ruosu about Xiao Er's intention to harm herself.

Ruo Su paced: "But you are coming back, and she still won't let you go, this person is really vicious." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "In our place, a girl of her age can only be regarded as a child, I didn't expect her to be so vicious." ”

"Sister Lan, I will definitely avenge you, I'll go and tell Master Fang, he will definitely not let Xiao Er go." Ruo Su Dao.

"No, I want to ask her why she did this, would you like to help me?" Lan Xiaoqiu didn't believe that Xiao Er's revenge was just because of the lack of half a month's salary.

The two discussed in the room, and decided to ask Xiao Er for clarification at night.

At night, Ruosu took the maid to Fang's house, and the people of the Fang family were a little nervous about Ruosu's visit so late, Mrs. Fang stepped forward and took Ruosu's hand and asked, "Ruosu, is something happening?" ”

Ruo Su nodded in horror: "Look." As he spoke, he stretched out his palm, and a pile of loess slowly dispersed from his palm, forming a small mound on the ground.

"Is this dirt?" Mrs. Fang asked.

Everyone looked at the mound of loess, Ruosu nodded: "In the past few days, every time I wake up, I will find these things on the bed, no matter how I send someone to clean the bed, how to change the new bedding, I will still find these soil when I get up the next day." In the past two days, I have dreamed of Sister Lan every day, and she always asks me to avenge him, so I think it may be that Sister Lan has an accident. ”

Xiao Er stood aside, subconsciously took a step back, Ruo Su stepped forward and approached Xiao Er, Xiao Er's hand was pulled by Ruo Su, Ruo Su said leisurely: "Sister Lan said you know where she went?!" ”

"I, I don't know." Xiao Er shook her head desperately.

"But." Ruo Su wanted to say something, Fang Hao hurriedly asked, "Xiao'er, do you know anything?" Why the panic? ”

Mrs. Fang grabbed Xiao Er, who was trembling, and said: "This girl is timid, what Ruo Su said must have scared her, if she knows how not to tell us, I see that she is also tired, go to the room to rest." ”

Xiao Er nodded in a daze, and Ruo Su sighed when Xiao Er stepped out of the door: "Poor Sister Lan always tells me in her dreams that she is so wronged and wronged. ”

Xiao Er paused, but didn't dare to look back, and left the hall as if she was holding on to the door frame.

Ruo Su saw Xiao Er leaving, so he said: "Ruo Su recently found a mage, saying that she can be found with Sister Lan's belongings, why don't you go to the next room with me to find out what else Sister Lan has." ”

Everyone followed Ruo Su, and when they went, Mrs. Fang said, "Where is the girl next to you?" Since Ruo Su entered the door, Mrs. Fang looked at the girl beside Ruo Su very familiarly, why didn't she raise her head, her hair covered half of her face and she couldn't see her face clearly, Mrs. Fang felt strange, but now the girl is gone.

Ruo Su said: "Don't care about that girl first, maybe she ran out to play." ”

Mrs. Fang raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and followed everyone to the next room, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Xiao Er shouting hysterically: "I didn't kill you, don't come to me." ”

The room was darkly lit, but two figures could be faintly seen, one was Xiao Er snuggling next to the bed, and the other was a woman dressed in white with a cloak and hair.

Ruosu said to everyone: "It seems that the truth will be revealed soon." ”

I only heard a familiar trill whisper in the room: "Why did you lie to me to go to Yeshan, why did you harm me?" ”

"It's not me, it's really not me, I'm just doing what I'm told. You have to look for people who really want to hurt you. Xiao Er cried as she spoke, trembling her hands around her chest, only to see the long-haired woman in white floating close to Youyou and said, "Who, who is that person?" ”

Before Xiao Er could answer, Mrs. Fang kicked the door open: "Xiao Er, it turns out that you did all this. ”

"Madame, Madame." Xiao Er pointed at Mrs. Fang and said, "It's her, it's she who told me to harm you." ”

Mrs. Fang looked at Xiao Er and shook her head pretending to be heartbroken: "Xiao Er, people must have a conscience, you can't point to whoever you see coming in, if the master comes in, can you still say that the master is not the master?" Mrs. Fang looked at the woman in white and said: "If you want revenge, come to me, I am also responsible, I am too spoiled by Xiao Er on weekdays, it must be that day Xiao Er heard me say that I want to keep you by my side forever and be my personal girl, and when Ruo Su marries in, you will serve with Ruo Su." She must have thought that I didn't want to let you go, and she would lose her status in the future. ”

Xiao Er cried to explain, but was grabbed by Mrs. Fang's wrist: "Is that so?" ”

Xiao Er's hand was scratched by Mrs. Fang, she didn't dare to speak, she just cried.

Mrs. Fang turned her head to the woman in white and said, "Qiu'er, she is also carried away, if you don't want to forgive her, come to me, she is a girl who has never seen the world, and although she does something wrong, she will not repent, but don't ask for her life." You have an accident in our family, and we will give you an explanation. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu only felt that this Mrs. Fang was a little abnormal, and at this time, Fang Xu took Lan Xiaoqiu's hand and asked, "Are you really a ghost?" ”

"Sister Lan is naturally not a ghost." Ruo Su also stepped into the door to tell the truth, and at this time, the woman in white lifted her hair and said, "I'm just immortal, everyone knows the truth, right?" ”

Fang Hao smiled: "Lan Xiaoqiu, why do you have so many ghost ideas?" You can also do things that pretend to be ghosts and scare people. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu said proudly with her hands behind her back: "If not, how can you make her show her original form?" ”

Mrs. Fang patted her chest and said, "Ah, great, it turns out that you are not dead, it's really good, otherwise I am going to eat fast for you in January and pray for you." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu arched her hand and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Fang, it's just that Mrs. Fang came in too hurriedly just now, and Xiao Er's words didn't seem to be finished yet." ”
