The next day, Yun Xuan woke up and ran to his mother's room, empty and nowhere to be seen, it turned out that his mother was the same as when she came, and she set off to go back before dawn, Yun Xuan was so lonely.

After breakfast, a little guy came over, "Young Master Cousin, I'm Anu." Mrs. said that the guest rooms in the West Wing Courtyard are too noisy for you to study. Let the little slave take you to a quiet place to live. After speaking, he looked at Yun Xuan a little strangely and a little mysteriously.

Yun Xuan didn't think too much about it when he saw that it was Anu who he met at the door of the hall yesterday. Yesterday, a few people leaning out of the window in the West Wing made him feel weird and weird, and it was good to leave.

I went back to the room and packed my things, put on my umbrella and backpack, picked up the iron bar, and followed the little guy.

Gradually walking out of the West Wing Courtyard, passing through the courtyard, and then walking to the door of the Li family's compound, Yun Xuan felt strange and asked, "Aren't you going to take me to a quiet place, why did you get out of here?"

"Uh......" Anu said a little hesitantly, "Madame said, that place is quiet, more suitable for reading." Childe, just come with me. ”

Yun Xuan wondered for a while, what did this aunt want to do.

After walking for half an hour, I was already outside the West City Gate, and a lotus pond about two acres in size appeared in front of me.

Golden, pure white and pink lotus flowers bloom brilliantly among the turquoise lotus leaves, gently swaying in the breeze. On the flower-viewing platform by the lotus pond, several ladies in yellow or green light clothes were whispering, looking up to see Yun Xuan and Anu walking over, covering their faces with fans and laughing.

"It's here, it's here. Anu pointed to a courtyard not far away, deep and in the shade of a shady tree. The tung paint of the fuchsia courtyard door peels off, revealing the brown door panel. The surrounding courtyard walls are hung with vines.

Na Anu approached the gate of the courtyard, took out a piece of yellow talisman paper, put it on his chest, and said, "Young Master Biao, borrow your stick to use it." ”

Yun Xuan couldn't understand what he was going to do, so he handed over the iron rod.

Anu took the iron rod, hugged his waist, and slowly approached the door step by step, using the iron rod against the purple and red wooden door. Listening only to the "squeak" sound, the wooden door slowly opened to both sides. He looked inside for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "Young Master, go in." ”

When Yun Xuan walked to the front, Anu followed in.

There are three rooms in the courtyard, two of which appear to be rooms and the other is a kitchen. The courtyard was covered with dead leaves, a small pavilion on the left, and a small round pond raised above the ground with stones on the right, and many green vines had crept in from the outside, and it seemed that no one had cleaned them for a while.

Yun Xuan chose a room, pushed open the door and entered, the room was sparsely covered with cobwebs and dust. Let Anu clean up inside, and walk to the courtyard by himself.

The water in the round pond had dried up, and on the dry mud surface lay many withered yellow lotus leaves, some of which had begun to rot into dirt in part, and a wilted pink lotus flower, hiding under a few burnt yellow lotus leaves, revealing a corner of the haggard petals.

Yun Xuan opened the lotus leaf, looked at the wilting lotus in front of him, and said, "The lotus flower outside is blooming so brightly and brilliantly, but this flower is struggling to survive here." Seeing that you are so pitiful, I will give you some water. ”

Yun Xuan walked to the kitchen, put down the umbrella backpack on his body, found two wooden barrels, walked out of the courtyard gate, went to the lotus pond to fetch water, brought it back and poured it into the lotus pond.

A few ladies outside felt funny when they saw Yun Xuan puffing his arms back and forth carrying water back and forth, and half of his body was soaked.

Yun Xuan heard the laughter, and an inexplicable shyness and irritability rose in his heart. I felt that it was very hot, so I took off my shirt and showed my strong muscles. A few ladies looked at it, "Ahhh

Yun Xuan smiled: "Cut, I can't clean you up!" After that, he picked up the bucket and continued.

When the half pond was filled, Yun Xuan stopped, and saw the pink lotus flower and many burnt yellow lotus leaves floating on the water, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. The flower can slowly recover.

When Anu came out of the room after cleaning, he hesitated on his face and said, "Young Master Cousin, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I think that people still can't have a clear conscience, and I still have to say that this place can't be lived." ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" Yun Xuan asked.

"Don't you see the yellow rune paper on my chest, there are ghosts here. Anu pointed to his chest, he heard his wife's order last night, so he went to buy yellow rune paper in advance and prepared for today's trip.

"It's a quiet place, the scenery is pleasant, I think it's a good place, are you deliberately scaring me before leaving? ”

"Don't believe it. Anu said, "Ten years ago there was a very beautiful woman who died in this courtyard after shedding blood. Then not long after, two sons died by the lotus pond in amazement, and the government inspected that both of them had been sucked dry of blood. “

"Everyone said that the woman was angry after she died, and turned into a ghost, specializing in seducing young people with strong blood and sucking their blood dry. The government also invited a person who had a good reputation, and the Taoist did it here, and then said that the female ghost had been subdued. ”

"But the people who moved in the back moved away in a panic the next day, saying that they saw a female ghost in the middle of the night and heard a cry: Give me back my blood, give me back my blood!"

"That's what I've heard. But there is one thing I have seen with my own eyes, the year before last I sent a boy to live here, but the next day, when I delivered breakfast, I found that the boy was sleeping outside the door, and his whole body was buried under the soil except for his head, and I woke him up to save him. When asked how he did this, he said, "I don't know, I slept in my room last night!"

Yun Xuan listened to what he said, and he had goosebumps on his body. "Dad said that evil is invincible. I'm still a child, and I'm going to pee when I do. Yun Xuan thought, but he was still not at ease.

"Since you told me, there must be some way to solve it. Yun Xuan asked.

"Of course there is a way, you can live in another place, but I don't have any money, little slave, I need you to pay. I can't go back to live in the West Wing, if I ...... If Madame, she knew that I told you this, and she might have cleaned me up. Anu said.

Yun Xuan heard this, and he didn't have the heart to go back. But thinking that I didn't have a penny on me, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed again.

"No one has died since then, it should have been those people who frightened themselves and imagined it. Yun Xuan thought, and then said to Anu: "I'd better live here, I'm not afraid." ”

"Alas, Young Master. If you're really unlucky, don't settle the account on me, I'll just burn you some more money when the time comes. Anu said innocently and fearfully.

"Crow's mouth, not as evil as you say, I'm still a child, and soaking the boy's urine can scare the ghost away. Yun Xuan said while tinkering in his heart.

"That's all I said, anyway, there is a debt to live in, so don't look for me when the time comes. Young Master, I'm going back, you can keep this rune paper, maybe it can come in handy. Anu took off the yellow rune paper on his chest, put it in Yun Xuan's hand, and turned around and left quickly.

Yun Xuan thought about it, and still put away the rune paper. Instead, he put his umbrella backpack in his room, tidyed up his room, and swept up the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

A shout rang out outside: "Cousin Yunxuan...... Yun Xuan's cousin ...... "It was Li Yanhuan, the cousin who was holding a paper fan and had a face like white jade, who walked into the courtyard and said: "This is really different from what I have seen, I have said that this place is quite scary, I look good." He pulled Yun Xuan and walked out: "It's been a long time since we've been shopping together, I'll take you to a good place." ”

"Where are you going?" Yun Xuan asked.
