Chapter Seventy-Four: Fellow Travelers (Fifth Update)
The moment the door was pushed open, the cold wind entered the house along the crack in the door.
It was clear that it was past the coldest time, but it still made Fu Chu shiver.
The laughter still seemed to echo in my ears, but the doorway was empty.
Fu Chu looked at the empty night in front of her, but she didn't feel the slightest demonic aura, and after standing at the door for a while, she couldn't help frowning - was it her auditory hallucination, or was someone playing a prank?
She hesitated and closed the door as she thought.
Then, the moment the door was closed, the laughter rang out again, this time as if it were coming from the window.
The laughter fell, followed by another sigh.
I don't know if it was Fu Chu's illusion or fact, but it didn't take long for the laughter to turn into a woman's sobbing, the sobbing sound, as if she had been wronged by something.
Fu Chu couldn't stand this voice, and the next second, Fu Chu turned around firmly, and then pushed the door open - she really wanted to see who was pretending to be a ghost there.
However, when the door was opened, it was still empty. There seemed to be a figure in the distance drifting away, and Fu Chu wanted to catch up, but finally gave up.
Just as she was about to close the door, Yu Guang happened to catch a glimpse of Chu Duan on the side—he also came out.
The four eyes were facing each other, but there was no superfluous expression on Chu Duan's face at this moment.
"Did you hear that?" Fu Chu asked tentatively.
After finishing speaking, Chu Duan said "um".
After looking at Fu Chu for a while, he seemed to have something to say, but after a while, he dispelled that thought again, and after he was quiet for a while, he slightly opened his thin lips: "It's not early, rest early." ”
"But ......"
"It's okay, it's going to be fine. Before Fu Chu could finish speaking, Chu Duan opened his mouth to interrupt him, and he smiled lightly at Fu Chu, as if to soothe.
Chu Duan said that, Fu Chu had no choice but to obediently say "oh", and then obediently closed the door.
......
This whole night, Fu Chu didn't sleep well, although there have been no strange sounds since then, but Fu Chu's heart is still a little unsteady.
I always feel like something is going to happen......
After Fu Chu took care of everything, he slowly pushed the door open. However, when she pushed the door open, she felt that something strange had happened today......
The ladies were in a hurry, but everyone was muttering as if they were talking about something.
They talked very quietly, as if they were evasive.
Fu Chu felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but take a few steps forward and made up for the palace maid.
However, Fu Chu hadn't heard anything yet, and the voice of the palace maid who groomed her yesterday fell into Fu Chu's ears: "Miss Fu Chu, why did you come out?"
The palace maid looked at Fu Chu in surprise, as if she was surprised to see Fu Chu at this time.
However, at this time, it is indeed a little early.
Fu Chu smiled wryly at the palace maid, a little embarrassed: "I haven't slept well all night, so I got up......"
When the palace maid heard Fu Chu say this, she couldn't bear to sigh softly, as if she was a little helpless. After that sigh, the palace maid looked at Fu Chu again, with a complicated expression.
Fu Chu was not stupid, and he also saw that this palace maid seemed to have something unspeakable: "What's wrong?"
As soon as Fu Chu asked, the palace maid's expression became even more difficult, and after she stared at Fu Chu for a while, she leaned over to Fu Chu slightly: "Miss Fu Chu, you will know if you follow me......
......
Fu Chu followed the palace maid all the way, and the palace maid walked very fast, and finally, she took Fu Chu to stop in front of a lower room.
Before Fu Chu could fix his eyes to see what was going on in the house, the palace maid's voice fell softly into Fu Chu's ears again: "Another palace maid hanged herself last night - I heard that the unjust soul is looking for a substitute......
After finishing speaking, Fu Chu couldn't help frowning, and she took two steps forward.
There were already a few people standing in the lower room, among them, Fu Chu saw two white clothes standing there at a glance, which made Fu Chu's heart stunned - Chu Duan and Chu Qize are also here?
Fu Chu stood quietly at the door for a while, and didn't say anything. She wanted to watch quietly at the door, but she didn't want to, she hadn't stood at the door for long before Chu Duan slowly turned around.
At this moment, the sun was rising, and the sunlight was faint, and it fell gently on his shoulder, which actually added a little tenderness to him.
The moment Fu Chu's gaze and Chu Dui looked at each other, her heart couldn't help but beat heavily, and her eyes met, Fu Chu squeezed out a smile towards Chu Dui: "Senior brother......"
However, Chu Duan didn't seem to have any response to Yu Fuchu's smile, he just stared at Fuchu tightly, and couldn't help frowning, as if he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Fu Chu seemed to see that Chu Duan didn't want him to come over, Chu Duan said, Fu Chu didn't say anything, she obediently closed her mouth, in front of Chu Duan, she was like a child who had made a mistake.
"It was the slave maid who brought the maid to help the first girl...... the palace maid began.
After finishing speaking, Chu Duan's brows seemed to be furrowed a little tighter, and his gaze fell on the palace maid, and there seemed to be a question in his eyes: "Didn't you tell Fu Chu?"
Chu Duan asked coldly.
"Chu Daochang is not angry, the slave maid is also looking at the Fuchu girl who may understand something, thinking about what she should be able to help, so she brought her over......" The palace maid lowered her head, as if she had made a mistake and was ready to admit her mistake.
Fu Chu glanced at the palace maid, and couldn't help but look at Chu Dui - can't she come to this kind of place?
Thinking about it, Fu Chu moved his body towards Chu Duan faintly, and his little hand quietly climbed up Chu Duan's sleeve, and then gently pulled twice like a peacemaker: "It's okay...... Aren't we all like-minded......"
What's more, something happened in the palace, and Fu Chu was also very concerned.
Fu Chu said that, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the palace maid hanging above—her eyes were staring straight ahead, and her face was hideous, as if she had been frightened by something before she died.
"So, what the hell is going on?" Finally, Chu Qize's voice sounded leisurely.
"As I said before, there are unclean things in the palace, and those dirty things must be doing something wrong!" After Chu Qize's voice fell, the grandmother in charge answered, her face looked very bad, and she seemed to be a little flustered: "This is not the first time!
Seeing that the grandmother was anxious, it seemed that it would be her turn next: "Once there is inexplicable laughter and crying at night, then the next day will definitely find a palace maid hanging herself——"
