Chapter 204 Write to Me

In the afternoon, Mrs. Xie came back.

She ran straight to Xie Yuanjiu's room with a panicked look.

"Jiujiu, something bad has happened." She grabbed her daughter's shoulders and shook her, ignoring her daughter's practice of calligraphy.

Xie Yuanjiu impatiently shook her hand away: "What's wrong?"

She just wanted to be quiet, why was it so difficult.

Mrs. Xie's lips trembled with fear: "Mother just went to the fortune teller to tell fortunes, and the result was bad fortune again."

"The fortune teller said that Caiying died unjustly and will become a fierce ghost to disturb our lives."

Hearing Caiying's name, Xie Yuanjiu's hand trembled, and the calligraphy she had just practiced was destroyed.

Her face turned pale, and then she raised her eyes unhappily: "Mother! The witch said so, you should ask the witch to solve it, why are you telling me?"

Mrs. Xie was anxious: "Caiying is your maid, aren't you afraid that she will hurt you?"

Xie Yuanjiu was frightened and immediately said angrily: "It was my uncle who ordered someone to beat her to death, why did she come to me?"

Mrs. Xie sighed: "But she died in our yard, but don't worry, I have spent two hundred taels to let the witch pray for her soul to be calmed down. Her resentment. "

"I couldn't sleep last night. When I thought of Caiying being beaten to death in front of me, as soon as I closed my eyes, the blood and flesh were all mixed together. "

Xie Yuanjiu covered her ears: "Mother! Go out, I don't want to listen anymore."

Mrs. Xie didn't know why she reacted so strongly, so she could only curl her lips: "Okay, then you practice calligraphy, and don't tell your father about this."

After she left, Xie Yuanjiu spent a long time to let the fear in her heart fade away a little.

Before Caiying died, those unwilling eyes kept staring at her...

Xie Yuanjiu shook his head and tried not to think about it.

Unfortunately, it was night.

The cold wind in late autumn knocked on the window, making a fluttering sound.

The branches outside swayed in the wind, like a ghost with fangs and claws.

The dark corners of the room seemed to hide countless ghosts and monsters, and when Xie Yuanjiu closed her eyes, they would stretch out their black hands and drag her away.

The words that Second Madam Xie said during the day, such as evil spirits and dying with eyes wide open, lingered in her ears.

They could not be shaken off.

Xie Yuanjiu was scared at first, and finally fell asleep, but she heard two soft "da da" sounds in her ears.

It was as if something fell on the ground.

She opened her eyes and looked, and saw two beads on the ground not far away, stained with blood.

Xie Yuanjiu sat up slowly, looking suspiciously, she called the maid twice, but the answer she got was a sad cry-

"Miss... I died so miserably."

"Why don't you care about me? Didn't you say that everything would be fine?"

"Miss, why did you watch the Prime Minister beat me to death without saying a word for me."

Xie Yuanjiu was so scared that she looked around, but she couldn't see anyone.

"Caiying! Is that you? Don't blame me. The situation was special and I couldn't save you."

The ghostly voice was shrill: "Miss killed me, you killed me!"

Xie Yuanjiu huddled in the corner of the bed, hugged the quilt and shouted: "It's not me, go find Shen Ningning, she killed you!"

Suddenly!

A head hung down from above, Caiying's face was beaten beyond recognition, blue and purple, and she didn't look like a human at all.

She stretched out her hand and pinched Xie Yuanjiu's neck: "I am loyal to the Lord, but Miss killed me, I want you to pay with your life!"

Xie Yuanjiu screamed and sat up.

She gasped, and the maid who was on night watch outside heard the noise and ran in.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Xie Yuanjiu covered her neck, sweating all over her head, and her face was as pale as a ghost.

She stared at the front with her eyes, and the blue veins on her forehead were very obvious due to the shock.

The maid knew that she was in a nightmare at a glance.

"I'll cook you a bowl of soothing soup."

Xie Yuanjiu grabbed the maid's wrist and said, "Don't go. Stay here and let me relax for a while."

Then, she told the maid to light all the candles, and just kept her eyes open to survive a difficult night.

...

Autumn is getting colder.

Shen Ningning invited Mo Lingwei to eat mutton hot pot at her home in Langshan.

A square table was set up in the wide yard.

The hot pot was brought out and placed on the fire, emitting a bubbling aroma.

The base soup was stewed with mutton, and Grandma Qin spent a whole night to make the soup.

At this moment, the soup base was fragrant and rich, with a few pieces of chopped mutton, mushrooms, scallions, wolfberries and two kinds of herbs floating in the pot.

The smell floated directly out of the house.

Mo Lingwei almost found his residence by smelling the fragrance.

The door of the house was half-closed, and he pushed the door open with one hand while carrying a bunch of gifts.

Suddenly, the wolves lying in the yard pricked up their ears and looked at him with cold eyes.

Seeing that it was a familiar person, the wolves withdrew their eyes.

"Brother!" Shen Ningning was wearing a light jacket with bean green and orange ribbons, and the whole person looked like a bright color in the silent autumn.

She just ran out of the kitchen, holding a plate of sliced ​​raw mutton slices in her hand.

Mo Lingwei walked over with a smile: "Why is the door not closed?"

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "To wait for you, I'm helping grandma, afraid that you can't hear me knocking on the door."

Mo Lingwei thought about it and it was true.

There was only Xiangyun Village at the foot of the mountain, and most people didn't dare to go up Wolf Mountain rashly.

This yard full of wolves is a guarantee of safety.

At this time, Grandma Qin came out with two plates of green vegetables.

Seeing Mo Lingwei, she immediately said kindly: "The prince is here, sit down, we will eat soon!"

Mo Lingwei put the gift prepared for Grandma Qin in the corner.

He brought the best purple ginseng.

It is a tribute from the court, and only the royal family can use it.

The table was full of dishes, with the most raw lamb slices, followed by chicken thigh slices, radish slices, oily green vegetables, and corn segments.

There was also the braised pork with eggs that Grandma Qin had stewed in advance.

Shen Ningning took out the lung-moistening snow pear water she made and handed it to Mo Lingwei.

The three of them sat around the table, eating happily, and laughing from time to time.

Wolf Four lay at Grandma Qin's feet, not going anywhere.

When Grandma Qin took out the cooled bones and quietly threw them on the ground, it immediately started to eat with relish.

At the end of the meal, Mo Lingwei said to Shen Ningning: "I will be away from Beijing for a month."

The little guy was biting a piece of mutton, and he silently put down his chopsticks when he heard it: "Brother is leaving again?"

Mo Lingwei nodded, his cold face has become more profound with age.

"My father asked me to inspect the four counties on my behalf to show the emperor's grace and the drought is far away."

"So, do you want to come with me? I'm going to Mengzhou, where the scenery is beautiful and there are many special foods."

Grandma Qin looked at Shen Ningning, waiting for the little guy to make a decision.

The Black Wolf King howled in dissatisfaction.

Where to go! This thief, he wants to take his delicate little Ningning away every day.

Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes: "Brother, I can't go. The National Academy has just started classes not long ago. If I leave now, I can't study!"

Mo Lingwei pretended to snort.

The conscienceless little guy, learning is more important than him.

He then laughed: "Forget it, I will rush back before the New Year, and we will celebrate the New Year together."

"I will arrange a few light cavalry to be responsible for the correspondence between us."

"Letters?" Shen Ningning was stunned.

Mo Lingwei narrowed his eyes: "Of course, don't you plan to write to me? I will have someone take my letter and send it back to the capital first."

"After you finish writing the reply, the light cavalry will send it back to me quickly. This way, it will be much more convenient."

Because he will be on the road all the time, he is afraid that Shen Ningning's letter will be lost.

The little guy thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will write back to my brother!"

Mo Lingwei looked at her full smile and felt much happier.

He moved his thin lips slightly: "There is one more thing I want to tell you."
