Chapter Seventy-Three: The Nightmare
In the early morning of the first day, Chu Fuyan was taken away by a secret letter, and it was estimated that he would not be able to return home for a few days, so his subordinates packed up their luggage for a short distance and left in a hurry.
Chu Fuyan has been gone for three days, and Lin Qingwan didn't feel anything at first, but every time it was ten years old, he was always in a mood and couldn't sleep peacefully.
For this reason, Tongque also went to ask for medicine, but it still had no effect.
Lin Qingwan looked at the swaying branches outside, jagged on the window paper, the moonlight was lonely and bleak, and the lining became more and more weird.
She closed her eyes and pulled Lu up a little, obviously with a cool night, but there were bursts of cold sweat oozing out of her body, Lin Qingwan turned over, in order not to press the wound, she tried to move slowly.
With her back to the bed, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but open her eyes, there was a snow-white wall in front of her, she stared at it in a daze, and vaguely saw a faint outline floating on the wall, which looked like a fluttering cloth, but the doors and windows were closed by the copper bird before going to bed.
She took a secret breath, only to feel a cold blow in her ears.
The silhouette gradually enlarged in front of him, and when he stared at it, it looked like a swaying and approaching figure.
It wasn't an ordinary walking position, the shadow stopped near the edge of the bed, and there was no movement for a long time.
Lin Qingwan could almost hear her uncontrollable heartbeat, she clenched her fists trembling slightly, the sweat in her palms was slippery and greasy, and she couldn't bother to wipe it at the moment.
"Who!"
She finally mustered up the courage to turn back, but there was no movement behind her, and then she looked at the wall, where there were any flickering figures.
Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly laughed at his mind for being too nervous.
Just as she was about to fall asleep again, she suddenly heard a terrible scream.
The sound was not very loud after many barriers, and it was even a little unreal, but in this silent night, all the sounds were further amplified, and Lin Qingwan turned his ear to the past, but there was no follow-up.
If it is said that the figure just now is an illusion, then this time the cry is categorically not, although the sound is very small, Lin Qingwan still heard it clearly.
Lin Qingwan's heart that was finally settled was raised again, and at this time she was completely sleepy, she got up and put on a coat, and rubbed to light the lamp in the room, looking at the candle flame like the warm sun, which was a little relaxed.
Counting the days with her fingers, she didn't know when Chu Fuyan would be able to go home again, she always felt that since Chu Fuyan left, there were more strange things in this house.
I often hear the old man say that the big house needs a man's yang energy to deter, but there are mostly women in this backyard, and I think it is caused by too much yin energy.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wrap her coat tightly.
"Ahh
Another bang!
This time the voice was louder than the previous one, so she heard it more clearly, Lin Qingwan had already stood up in shock, she looked in the direction of the dungeon, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
It seems like...... It's out there.
When it comes to the secrets of the Chu family, she tries her best not to snoop, Lin Qingwan calmed down, and then paced to the window, the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, she stretched out her hand to push open the window, and sure enough, there was a cool breeze coming to her face.
But the air was not as fresh as she imagined, and she took a deep breath, only to feel sluggish.
It seems to be mixed with a hint of fishy sweetness, slowly blowing in the hair.
Lin Qingwan's eyebrows frowned slightly, how could this taste be so familiar.
Looking at the taste, it was a sea of flowers, I don't know if it was because of the night, Lin Qingwan only felt that even the flowers were a little dark.
Are you thinking too much about it?
She shook her head to try to pull away the fear, but in a flash, the nearest flower was swaying a drop of liquid.
Maybe it's dew?
Lin Qingwan wanted to come, but couldn't help but be curious, there could be no dew at this hour.
The obscured clouds faded, and the faint light slowly illuminated the sea of flowers in the distance, only to see that the drop of liquid had not fallen, and it was hanging lightly on the tip of the petals.
No! It's not water!
She gasped, the cloudy and dazzling color was obviously bright red blood!
At this time, Lin Qingwan knew where the faint fishy sweetness in the air came from, and the fingers holding the window frame were still trembling slightly, what was going on? Why do the flowers here have to be watered with blood in the middle of the night.
"Bronze Sparrow!"
Lin Qingwan's voice was quick and terrifying, and Tong Que kowtowed to make sure that she was not in a nightmare, she hurriedly answered, got up and walked to the house.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Lin Qingjuan's chest was still undulating, and she didn't care about whether the water temperature was appropriate, Tongque poured a cup and put it in her hand, only to find that even the back of Lin Qingwan's hand was covered with a thin layer of fine sweat.
"Tongque, did you hear anything just now?" Lin Qingwan bit the tip of his tongue before he finished speaking.
Tongque thought about it for a while, and before Lin Qingwan called her name, she seemed to be asleep.
"Didn't I hear, ma'am?" did anyone disturb your rest?"
After saying that, she also deliberately ran to the door to look.
There was nothing but the still shaking branches, and the bronze finch turned around, "There's nothing out there." ”
Lin Qingwan felt that everything was too weird, maybe it was really because she was too nervous, she took a sip of herbal tea, and then said: "Maybe, it's me who has a nightmare, Tongque, you go and rest." ”
"Madame, I'll stay with you for a while, and I'll leave when you're asleep. ”
Tongque saw that her mood was still sad, and she couldn't rest assured for a while, so she simply leaned on Lin Qingwan's bedside and lay down.
Lin Qingwan didn't want to let the bronze finch work like this, but thinking of the cry just now and the strangeness in the sea of flowers, she still nodded with a little gratitude, "The copper sparrow, thank you for your hard work." ”
Someone is really different when he is around, although Lin Qingwan is still a little afraid, but because of the copper sparrow, it is still a lot less.
After a while, there was the sound of shallow breathing, coming from the bed.
......
Lin Qingwan was in the fog, she reached out and flicked the thick fog, and she could see the direction of air flow.
An unknown voice was coming in the distance, but Lin Qingwan couldn't even see his outstretched palm.
"Who's there?"
Although her Qingling voice changed a little in the mist, if it wasn't really coming from her mouth, Lin Qingwan couldn't believe it, it was her voice.
The only thing that answered her was the sound of a mechanical blow, and Lin Qingwan had to follow the sound.
Fortunately, the further you go, the more the fog in front of you will dissipate.
Sure enough, more than ten meters away from her, there was a figure half-crouching, and there seemed to be a human-shaped body flat in front of him.
The body only has upper limbs, and where it should have been legs, there is only a pile of erosive flesh.
As he lifted his right hammer, it fell again with a stinky mist of blood.
Lin Qingwan covered her mouth and almost vomited,
From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to leave slowly, but she never thought that the road she came from would become a wall without gaps.
She slapped in a panic, and a crisp sound came from her palm, and she could tell when she heard that this wall must be very thick.
Just when Lin Qingwan was desperate, there was a low sound of footsteps behind him.
Also, the sound of a hammer slashing on the ground.
Even if he didn't turn around, Lin Qingwan could imagine the blood-dripping hammer pulling a long trail on the ground.
In desperation, she was in the sea of flowers again, and the delicate flowers that had bloomed wantonly turned into blood-soaked fangs in an instant, and because of coagulation, many flower branches turned black and brown.
The flower closest to her, as if it had eyes, struck at Lin Qingwan close to the ground, she screamed, and suddenly opened her eyes.
This is not a sea of flowers or a dense fog space, it is her familiar bedroom, the tightly clenched fist was held in the hand of the copper bird, and she said with a worried face: "Madam, you finally woke up." ”
Lin Qingwan supported his forehead, and the sun was gradually rising beside the bed, and it was already ten in the morning.
"Bronze Sparrow, I'm fine. ”
Tongque still didn't let go of her hand, "It's been half an hour, no matter how you refuse to wake up, and you've been breaking out in a cold sweat, but it frightens me." ”
How much time has passed?
Lin Qingwan wanted to recall the dream just now, but his mind was already in a mess, and everything that happened just now slowly dissipated like a cloud of smoke.
"Let's change the medicine that calms the nerves, I always feel that it is not very useful. ”
She patted the back of the bronze sparrow's hand to indicate that it was okay, and then lay back on the bed.
"Bronze Sparrow, I'll rest a little longer, don't call me yet. ”
Strangely, after seeing the warm sun outside the house, her disordered heartbeat slowly flattened.
After almost tossing all night, seeing that Lin Qingwan finally had a sense of sleep, Tongque retired with interest, and instructed the dining room to warm the prepared porridge on the stove, and wait for Lin Qingwan to wake up and wait.
By the time she had completely made up for her sleep, it was already ten in the afternoon, and the porridge was in her stomach, and it was really indescribably comfortable.
In addition to the dream last night, Lin Qingwan has reorganized his thoughts.
If he knew that Lu Zhao would appear at this time, Lin Qingwan would definitely not have the intention of wanting to come out for a walk.
There was a fragrant wind floating in the distance, Lin Qingwan raised his eyes, and just saw Lu Zhao Miaoman's posture, "It seems that Ah Yan is gone, and you have not been affected." ”
She covered her nose, as if she was very disgusted by Lin Qingwan's extremely light fragrance, and sensing her dislike, Lin Qingwan deliberately walked in front of her and shook it a few times.
"Sister's words are bad, your mood naturally can't be generalized with me, besides, it's not that you won't come back, I'm a woman, so naturally I'm waiting for news at home. ”
Lin Qingjuan's implication was very obvious, Lu Zhao snorted lightly, he still didn't want to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to torture Lin Qinghuan.
I saw that she glanced at the maidservant girl on the side, and threw the silk in her hand at Lin Qingwan.
"This silk was sewn by my mother's own hands, so it's good if it's dirty. The maidservant said this, but there was no sign of any desire to pick up the silk.
"Help me pick it up, take it lightly, don't dirty my mother's mind for no reason. ”
Lu Zhao raised his chin and looked at Lin Qingwan with a mocking expression.
