Chapter 16 (8)
Yin Yin shrunk her neck and said, "Yes, the slave maid followed the wild man, and saw that he lived in a firewood house, with only a few wooden railings nailed to the window, and the wind was breathed on all sides, and the environment inside was conceivably cold in winter and hot in summer." The daylight is not very good, and it is still dark during the day, let alone at night. There is some thatch on the ground, and it is very prickly to sleep, and it is estimated that there will be rats coming out...... It's really scary, such a ghost place, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to stay even for a moment, Concubine Yun is really cruel to her lover!"
Zhen Ying was so angry that half of her eyebrows twitched, and said coldly: "Who asked you to describe that broken house?
Yin Yin suddenly came to her senses, and said endlessly: "When the slave saw him go to the corner, she took out a pen and paper from under a bundle of thatch, grinded the ink clumsily, dipped it with a brush, and wrote on the paper one by one. He probably didn't read much, and it took him a long time to write every word, and he couldn't write two lines before he could write it, so he signed it and folded the paper into a small roll little by little. As soon as the slave maid was distracted for a moment, he conjured up a pigeon, tied a small tube with a thin thread to the pigeon's feet, wrapped it round and round, tied it tightly in a knot, and took the pigeon and walked to the window. The slave hurriedly squatted down, and heard the sound of the pigeon's wings flapping overhead, and the carrier pigeon flew into the blue sky from the small window, flying higher and higher, farther and farther, turning into a small black dot, and the last flash of crystal light, and it was no longer visible......
Zhen Ying couldn't cry or laugh when she heard it, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she interrupted: "Okay, stop showing off your pitiful literary talent, and it's not storytelling and singing, will you talk about heavy topics?" Yin Yin said: "Yes, the heavy topic is coming." After the pigeon flew away, and heard his footsteps far away, the slave dared to straighten her legs inch by inch, and carefully poked her head into the window again. Niangniang, you say it's funny or not, it's clear that they are cheating, but they make others as thieves as thieves and can't see people......"
Zhen Ying shouted: "Yin Yin!" Yin Yin said: "Yes." As soon as the cat's waist and head were raised, the wild man returned to the corner and was stabbing a small puppet with his sword. The slave maid thought, could it be that he is playing witchcraft and making voodoo dolls to harm people? It happened that there was a row on his window edge, and the slave and maid took the opportunity to steal one, and when they looked closely, they didn't feel very similar, didn't they all say that the voodoo doll would be engraved with the birthday of the cursed person? But this little man was bare, was it a half-finished product?"
Zhen Ying shouted: "That's Shen Shiyun's carving, take it out, don't rub it around!" Yin Yin lifted her sleeves and shook them for a long time before she shook out a small puppet from the cuffs, and before she could catch it, Zhen Ying snatched it halfway in a hurry, and when she saw it, she was disappointed.
Although the puppet barely had a rough humanoid outline, its limbs were all flattened and spread out, with different lengths, thicknesses, and thicknesses, not to mention the proportions of hands and feet. The facial features are all muddled, the eyebrows are a total of four, each composed of two straight thick lines that are cocked separately, and a sharp angle is erected at the intersection, the eyes are two large holes of different depths, the nose is a spherical bulge, and the mouth is a ravine-like cut, if you want to say that this ugly puppet is Shen Shiyun, no one will believe it if you ask all over the palace. Thinking that what Li Yijie said about "being ashamed to make a move" was indeed true, he scolded in a low voice: "Unlucky!" With a turn of his mind, he had an idea, hugged his arms, and sneered: "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult." The carving skills are not good, the palace is willing to do a favor, hire a skilled craftsman to help him with this, well, just carve two intimate puppets, a metaphor for their love for each other, and the beauty of the appearance. The good man will do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and then the palace will send someone to give it to Concubine Yun in his name. Yin Yin, you start handling this matter today. ”
Yin Yinqi said: "Since Niangniang hates Concubine Yun very much, why do you still want to help her?" Zhen Ying said angrily: "This palace is talking back, can't you hear it?" Yin Yin nodded lightly and said, "Well, it turns out that Niangniang said that she wanted to help her, but in fact, she just didn't want to help her." Zhen Ying just wanted to praise her for "finally opening up", but Yin Yin said smartly: "By extension, if you want the slave to handle this matter, you actually want the slave to not do it......"
Zhen Ying couldn't bear it anymore and said, "If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand." Forget it, this matter can be postponed for a day, you go back to the palace with me now, and immediately undress and go to bed. Yin Yin asked, "Immediately, it's still daytime!" Zhen Ying said: "This is for your sake, first come to the Yinxue Palace to recuperate." Yin Yin was shocked: "Second watch, that is the hour when the slave and maid sleep the most soundly." Besides, at that time, the lights were blind, and a hundred ghosts were traveling at night, and my grandfather said that if you don't sleep well, you will encounter ghosts. If you forget to take something, it's not the same when you go back now, so why bother tossing again?"
Zhen Ying took a deep breath and said word by word in a slow tone: "Go back now?" Shen Shiyun is in the palace, let the palace stab her in the face......?" Hey, Niangniang?" Seeing that Zhenying had already gone far away, this time she didn't care about talking, and trotted all the way to catch up.
Back in the palace, Zhenying fell asleep, Yin Yin also lay on the pillow, but her life is very regular, since the sky is still bright, she stares at a pair of big eyes, and she still has no sleep after more than an hour. Worried that there would be a noise in the hall to disturb Zhenying, in desperation, he got up and went to the garden to hoe grass and water the flowers, and he was tired and exhausted after working for a long time, and he wanted to go back to the room to rest for a while, but he fell asleep as soon as he lay down. To the second watch, he was forcibly dragged up by Zhen Ying, put on a black tights, and walked to the Yinxue Palace, all in a half-dream. When I had to peel off the bushes and sneak in carefully, I was blown all the way by the cold wind, and the sleepiness disappeared.
It was unusually quiet in the palace that night, and even the guards who were patrolling the night could not see anyone, and the moon was covered by thick clouds, and it was pitch black everywhere. The two vermilion lacquer doors of the main hall were hidden, and they were opened with a gentle push. Zhen Ying didn't think much about how it could go so smoothly, but said that Shen Shiyun was already angry and resentful, and even God was desperate for her to perish. Pulled Yin Yin into the house and closed the door with his backhand. There was a faint light outside, and after the door was closed, the darkness in the hall was pressed down like a dense net, and the atmosphere was almost suffocating.
Yin Yin said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang, the slave maid thinks this place is not clean, I see ...... I think we'd better go back, otherwise...... I'm afraid I'm really going to hit the ghost......"
Zhen Ying reprimanded: "Where are the ghosts? Suspicion will give birth to dark ghosts! This palace has never killed people and set fires, and has not offended the dead, what are you afraid of? Even if there are really ghosts and ghosts in Yinxue Palace, it is also a ghost who killed Shen Shiyun, let's let her go down to the eighteenth floor of the underground mansion, she is doing a great favor to the ghosts, they should not harm us, but should bless us to win." Comforting Yin Yin in his mouth, in fact, he was comforting himself, his eyes were shooting around, looking from the fireplace in the corner, his eyes moved from left to right, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if there was a sharp knife that cut his arm open, struggled a few times, and finally couldn't get out, his heart fell suddenly, and he immediately thought that he was bitten by the ghost's teeth, and he wanted to call for help when he opened his mouth, but the voice just came out of his throat, and he had barely suppressed it, and secretly thought: "Could it be that there is really a powerful ghost? It is a small matter to be eaten by it, and it screamed to alarm Shen Shiyun, and her face was wrecked in front of her." Gritting his teeth, he looked at his forearm, and at this time his eyes had become a little accustomed to the surrounding environment, and he vaguely saw that it was Yin Yin who was pinching his wrist and digging his nails deep into the flesh.
Zhen Ying was afraid and lucky, twisted Yin Yin's ear with her other hand, and shouted: "Dead girl, what are you doing! Do you want to strangle this palace......?" I see, then, isn't that a ghost fire?"
Zhen Ying looked at it, and sure enough, she saw a faint green light flickering on the lower floor of the bookshelf, and secretly sighed, and the heart that had been hanging was settled, but she also came to the upside, wanting to tease Yin Yin, and sneered: "This time you are wrong again." It's not a ghost fire, it's the eyes of a monster, don't look at it now, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to it, it will grin and swallow you whole, not even a bit of bone dregs left. ”
Yin Yin was so frightened that her feet were weak, and she dragged Zhen Ying to barely stand firm, and said with a crying voice: "Slave and maid to the monster king...... With absolute respect...... Zhen Ying said: "That's very good, you just come forward and pick it up with this piety." When Yin Yin heard that she was going to hold a monster's head, she fell to the ground in fright, and was almost about to foam at the mouth and roll her eyes.
Zhenying La Yinyin was originally brave when she came to the same place, but when she was so intimidated, she didn't feel bored, and said: "I just told you the truth, that is what we want to take, it is the portrait of Concubine Yun to the wild man." When I was a guest during the day, I used to apply some phosphorus powder to the scroll, and it would glow at night, so you can bring it for me. Yin Yin promised: "Yes." But he could only sit on the ground, unable to move, and it was difficult to even get up.
Zhen Ying had no choice but to step forward to get the painting on her own. Gently press the book on the side with the palm of one hand to prevent it from squeezing, and finally pull out the scroll. Yin Yin saw that it was indeed a painting in her hand, and her spirit recovered, and she got up and persuaded: "Niangniang, the things are in hand, it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”
Zhen Ying sneered: "What's the hurry? It's rare to have the opportunity to visit the Emperor's most frequent Yinxue Palace, how can I bring more souvenirs? This is just one of them, and if you look through it carefully, maybe you can still find their letters full of love words, the more evidence there is, the more convincing my words will be to the emperor." "Take out a book, open it and see, it is an overview of the technique of "Qimen Dunjia", this is a very advanced knowledge, Zhen Ying is not interested in looking at it in detail, and the action is rude and stuffed back into the bookshelf.
Shen Shiyun has a large collection of books, and each book is crowded without leaving any gaps, and it is extremely difficult to stuff them into place. Zhen Ying pushed hard a few times, shook her hand impatiently, the jade bracelet on her wrist shook, and hit the wall of the frame, making a "bell" sound, which was very clear in the quiet night. Then I heard the sound of the "creaking" of the bed board in the inner room, it seemed that someone was turning over and sitting up, Yin Yin held her breath, and didn't even dare to breathe, only hurriedly pulled Zhenying's sleeves and signaled to go quickly.
Zhen Ying still knew the importance of it, and said in her heart: "When I tell the emperor about this matter, even if you know that you were betrayed by me, I can still look down on you condescendingly and trample you under my feet." But if you are caught by the thief now, you will not be angry when you see you in the future, so it is better to retreat first!" gestured to Yin Yin, and carefully explored the way with his toes upside down. slipped out of the back door of the Yinxue Palace, ran out of a long way, and finally let go of the hanging heart. As soon as he got out of danger, the whole person was immersed in the joy of pride, staring at the painting in his hand, imagining that Shen Shiyun knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, but was kicked away by the emperor, and couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, there was something different, Yin Yin, who usually talks like a chatterbox, has a surprisingly few words along the way, and she has never even opened her mouth. He cleared his throat and said, "Yin Yin, are you scared and confused? Your master's time to gain power is just around the corner, why aren't you happy for me?"
