Chapter 123: The Secret of the Back Garden

The middle-aged manservant walked slowly along the bluestone paved path to the front court.

He walked and walked and always felt that something was wrong, and he was confused about what was going on.

"What the hell is it? What was going on? Is it really haunted? This is impossible?"

The manservant pondered carefully, recalling what he had just seen.

"Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this back garden, no one has paid attention to this place for so many years, and few people have come here, is there still someone hiding in the back garden? ”

As the manservant walked, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the back garden, and there was still no one around.

The manservant was very confused, he couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in it for a while, who was doing what in the back garden, everyone didn't find out, could it be really haunted in broad daylight, the more the manservant thought about it, the more confused he became.

"I've got to pay attention, I'll come back tomorrow to find out what's hidden here. If it's really haunted, it's a bit unreasonable. But I'm quite bold, and even though it's a bit frightening, I'm not too scared. What is there to be afraid of a big man, hmph! Find a time to see what secrets are hidden in this back garden! What if there is a thief hiding in here?

The manservant straightened his waist while pondering, raised his head and walked to the front court, he planned to come again next time to find out, he wanted to find out about this matter, whether it was a person hiding here, he wanted to see it when the time came.

Maybe if he finds out that it's a thief's hideout, he'll have done a great job. When the time comes, it is not impossible for General Murong to reward him with a few ingots of silver.

Thinking of this, the manservant smiled proudly, if he caught a thief, then he would have done a great job.

So the valet swaggered out of the back garden, and he felt that he had an idea that would be more reliable than to convince him that it would be haunted.

Yuxi returned to the room and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so dangerous! I was almost discovered! If I was accidentally seen by that troublesome servant just now, it would be troublesome, I really don't know how to explain it, even the rockery was shattered by me with a volley, alas! I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if this matter is known by my father, I really can't find an excuse to hide the past." ”

Yu Xi still doesn't know about the good servant, and still wants to plan to find another opportunity to find out, Yu Xi just said that this matter is over like this, and she will still be unfazed in the future, and she can continue to practice the exercises in the back garden, just like usual, no one will disturb her and Brother Frog.

Yuxi fell on the couch and closed her eyes, intending to rest for a while before going to eat.

The next morning, Yuxi got up early as usual, opened her eyes, sat up from the incense couch, opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at the shiny sky outside the window, it seemed that it was still early.

Yuxi climbed out of the bed, walked to the window, and pushed the lattice halfway open, revealing the vibrant courtyard outside.

Outside, it was quiet, only the morning light shone silently into the courtyard, and a few birdsongs were occasionally heard in the distance.

Just as Yuxi opened her eyes to look out the window, she suddenly saw a figure walking on the stone path outside the house.

Yuxi hurriedly retracted and hid behind the window lattice.

"Who is it? Who came here so early?"

Yuxi was taken aback, who was that person outside the window, and what was he doing?

When she saw that there was no sound outside, she peeked her head out from behind the lattice to look outside.

I saw that the man was dressed as a servant, and he was tiptoeing in the direction of the back garden.

"It's him, it turned out to be the servant from yesterday, he didn't expect to come here today, he must have thought of the back garden, to see who split the small trees and rockeries there yesterday, it seems that he is a thief, and he wants to get to the bottom of this." ”

Yu Xi couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in her heart, this manservant had too many things, if she continued to make trouble like this, she wouldn't even have a place to cultivate.

If she is accidentally discovered by the manservant, then she will not be able to speak, and she will not be able to explain the matter in front of her father at that time.

Yuxi was unwilling, unwilling to be ruined by a good manservant like this, but how could she get rid of this servant?

Yuxi was silent for a long time, and a thought came to her mind: "It's better to scare and scare him, so that he never dares to come to this place again." That's it, it's up to me! I can't care so much, scare him away first, who wants him to be troublesome!"

Yuxi got dressed, tied her head full of green silk with a ribbon slightly, and then put on her shoes and slipped out the door.

At this time, the manservant was at the door of the back garden, and poked his head out and looked around the garden, trying to find something.

Yuxi was still some distance away from the manservant, and he could see the manservant's panicked back, looking at the servant's appearance, he seemed a little nervous, after all, he didn't know the truth of the matter.

Yuxi hid behind the bushes, secretly observing the servant, who was quiet in the courtyard at this time, and almost no one had walked by, because at this time, it was still early, and it was not yet time to get up and work.

In the villages and towns at the foot of Yuxu Mountain, people live a relatively casual life, and no one will get up early in the morning to be busy with this or that.

I saw that the manservant slipped into the back garden, and Yuxi moved lightly and followed closely until he reached the door of the back garden.

At this time, the manservant entered the gate and went straight to the direction of yesterday's rockery.

Yuxi followed behind, in order not to let the manservant find out, she hid behind a rockery that she practiced on weekdays, quietly climbed up, hid behind the high rocks, and watched the sneaky servant.

The manservant walked up to the severed tree and looked at it in a daze. Nothing has been discovered at all today, there is not a single person here.

The manservant raised his eyes and looked around blankly, not finding anything as far as his eyes could see.

When he turned around and looked in the direction behind him, Yuxi happened to be observing him from the rockery, but Yuxi was worried that the servants would find out, so he hurriedly lowered his head and hid himself.

The manservant still found nothing, and stood there muttering, "That's weird, there's nothing! ”

After saying that, a hand scratched around his head and neck, which was different from what he had expected, and there was nothing unusual in this back garden.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time, maybe they have already found out, so I hid, I have to find another chance to take a look again, I don't believe I can catch you!"

With that, the servant turned and looked down at the broken tree.
