This female ghost is obviously very beautiful

For the convenience of addressing, Yuan Shuangqing gave the female ghost a name and called her Abai.

For this slightly perfunctory title, the female ghost expressed strong protest and rang the bell to vent her dissatisfaction.

A dog named Ah Huang was tied to the gate of the courtyard, and the female ghost felt that she was treating herself as another Ah Huang.

But Yuan Shuangqing was no longer afraid of her, and kept calling her like this when chatting one-sidedly with her, and she got used to calling the female ghost, and could calmly ring the bell to answer Yuan Shuangqing's various questions.

After another winter, Yuan Shuangqing found that she could touch A Bai, so she wanted A Bai to sleep beside her, and said, "Aren't you tired when you always stand like this?"

Ah Bai rang the bell twice and answered her: I'm not tired.

"Ah Bai," Yuan Shuangqing put her hands on her head, looked at the position of the female ghost, her eyes were flickering, and said seriously: "Qiu Yu said that good sisters will hold hands and play together, and they will play together on the same bed." Go to sleep, she and Chunxia are like this, so... you don't want to, but you dislike me?"

A Bai shook Ling twice, which meant negation.

Yuan Shuangqing became happy: "Then you come up to sleep, and I won't disturb you. If you don't like me touching you, I won't touch you."

After a while, the bell rang, and Yuan Shuangqing keenly noticed something passing by her leg, and it fell lightly behind her, and the sound gradually stopped.

Yuan Shuangqing turned around and helped her cover the quilt. Seeing the bulging quilt, but the inside was empty, she bit her lips and smiled: "It's strange..."

The quilt was lifted, and the female ghost expressed her agreement with her words with actions, and then two bells rang, as if they were further away. Yuan Shuangqing stretched out her hand and touched a corner of the clothes. Although she couldn't see it, she knew that Ah Bai should be against the wall.

"What are you doing so far away from me?" Yuan Shuangqing asked, squirming and leaning over again.

The air froze for a long while, and suddenly there were bursts of bells, drifting over her, and going away until they could no longer be heard.

"Ah Bai!" Yuan Shuangqing shouted.

She didn't care about putting on her shoes, and got up to open the door. The cold wind hit her face, cutting her face and feet, causing pain.Yuan Shuangqing took a deep breath and didn't stop. She just stepped on the stone slab in the yard wearing unlined clothes and barefoot, calling eagerly: "Ah Bai! Ah Bai!"

The next door soon lit up a sliver of yellow light, and Qiu Yu came out of the house with a candlestick in her hand, wearing a jacket, and was shocked when she saw Yuan Shuangqing's appearance: "You girl, why did you come out dressed like this?" Why are you going crazy, go back to the house and lie down!"

Yuan Shuangqing paced around in circles, ignoring Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu frowned: "But did you have a nightmare?"

Yuan Shuangqing had no choice but to answer vaguely: "Well... yes..."

"Would you like me to sleep with you?" Qiu Yu proposed a pillow mat.

"Need not."

Yuan Shuangqing turned around and went back to the house, and lay down on the bed after being tied up, not caring how Qiu Yu knocked on the door to call.

"Stupid!" Qiu Yu said bitterly, and finally went back to her room.

Yuan Shuangqing ignored it and just stared at the dark roof, a little sad and flustered.I don't understand why Ah Bai left suddenly, could it be because he disliked his approach...

After a whole night like this, Yuan Shuangqing woke up early the next morning and found an extra piece of paper on the table. When she spread it out, it turned out to be an unfamiliar handwriting.

Yuan Shuangqing stared blankly for a while, then suddenly smiled, then put the paper away, and carefully put it in a cabinet.This was written by Abai, she has to treasure it.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and Yuan Shuangqing's 13th birthday comes quietly in the warm spring.

This is an unforgettable birthday, no one prepared longevity noodles for her, and there was no voice of blessing.

Yuan Shuangqing has long been used to this kind of loneliness.

She ordered a bowl of noodles in clear soup and fried an egg, sat in the room silently and finished eating, then went to the kitchen to wash the bowl and put it back in the cupboard. There was no sense of ceremony, and she completed the steps slowly, as if it was over A happy birthday.

If you have never been warm, you will not accumulate disappointment.

So, she is not in pain at all.

In the evening, just before going to bed, Abai came.

Yuan Shuangqing listened to the familiar sound of bells, but today she was not in the mood to chat with her, so she pretended to be asleep.

Usually Abai is the passive side, she can't hear Yuan Shuangqing when she speaks, so she can only ring the bell to answer questions, if Yuan Shuangqing is in a bad mood, she will obediently stand aside and not disturb.

Said to be friends and sisters, in fact, Abai is more like a shadow.

Today, Yuan Shuangqing felt different, because Abai actually took the initiative.

At first, she just felt that something was entangled with her hand, and then she turned her palm over, spreading it open.

Yuan Shuangqing's hands trembled, but she didn't break free out of trust.

Abai is here.It must be Abai who touched her.

The thing holding her was extremely cold and soft, Yuan Shuangqing subconsciously squeezed it, it was a very thin hand.

Yuan Shuangqing confirmed in a low voice: "Ah Bai."

The palm of the hand suddenly itched, as if being brushed by a fingernail, Yuan Shuangqing smiled muffledly: "Abai, what are you doing? Do you want to tell my fortune?"

When A Bai's hand was withdrawn, Yuan Shuangqing suddenly found that there was a box of things in her palm. She looked up at the direction where A Bai was standing, then sat up and looked at the exquisite porcelain box in her hand. Chunxia's house has seen similar.

"This is..." Yuan Shuangqing murmured, opened the box, and after seeing the contents clearly, she instantly confirmed that her guess was correct, and she couldn't help widening her eyes, which were full of surprise and doubt: "Rouge? "

Ling——

Abai answered her with a bell.

"Ah Bai, why did you give me rouge?"

"Ling."

"Ah Bai, you know today is my birthday, right?"

"... Ling."

"Thank you, I really like it." Yuan Shuangqing didn't know what to do. She pinched the box, smiled for a while, bit her lip and became entangled: "But I haven't grown up yet, can I use this? No. How about finding a place to hide it and wait two years to use it?"

"Lingling." Abai disagreed.

Yuan Shuangqing backed down and said, "Then I'll keep it for now. After two days, ask Qiu Yu to teach me how to put on rouge."

Abai rang the bell in satisfaction.

After her 13th birthday, Yuan Shuangqing's stature quickly increased, and she was about to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qiu Yu and the others.

Qiu Yu said that according to this growth method, Yuan Shuangqing might be taller than both of them in the future.

Chunxia said that if she doesn't eat well, she will look skinny if she grows too tall, which is not beautiful.

It was an unintentional analysis, but Yuan Shuangqing took it seriously.Everyone has a love of beauty, and she has reached this age, and she has unconsciously started to pay attention to her appearance, pinching her arms, touching her collarbone, looking at her thin face in the bronze mirror, and suffering from insomnia for several consecutive days Night.

Therefore, no accident, Abai also knew.She is a ghost who has learned to be a mouse and steal vegetables in the old lady's private kitchen.

Yuan Shuangqing couldn't laugh or cry because of this incident, but she couldn't refuse her kindness. She made up for it every night without telling Qiu Yu and Chunxia, ​​and she was even more certain in her heart——

Abai must be a lovely and kind girl.

As she grew older, Yuan Shuangqing's chest also swelled up.

Her development was very late among girls, and Chunxia had already had her period when she was 13 years old.

Yuan Shuangqing was ashamed of the sprouts brought about by this kind of growth, even if she didn't step out of the yard, she wrapped her chest with long white cloth strips.

Later, Chunxia accidentally discovered it, and spent a long time instilling in her a simple truth: this is a process that a girl must go through.

Yuan Shuangqing reluctantly accepted her preaching, took off the white cloth, and pressed the girl's thoughts at the bottom of the box.

Yuan Shuangqing was full of melancholy, and when A Bai came, she said, "I don't want to grow up."

Yuan Shuangqing didn't expect Abai to do anything, she just wanted to speak out what was on her mind, and Abai was the only one who listened.

"When I grow up, I'm going to get married," Yuan Shuangqing said, looking at the dark yellow candlelight, "Yuan Qingqing is a favored person, but she can't decide her own marriage. Uncle is going to marry her to the prefect's concubine." , Such a big family, in fact, has long been in decline, and it is ridiculous to marry the eldest daughter to the magistrate's concubine in order to find a better way out."

Yuan Shuangqing looked in A Bai's direction, her gaze was empty: "I don't want to grow up, let alone get married, and I don't want to be used as a tool to stabilize the family business. Although I have been forgotten for so long, I am not stupid. They... never intend to Let me go."

Abai couldn't answer her either.A Bai couldn't do what she wanted, and Yuan Shuangqing couldn't hear what she said.

A Bai was a little anxious, she left to find a pen and paper, and wrote down what she was thinking.

In Yuan Shuangqing's eyes, the writing brush and paper are moving in the air, but the person holding the pen cannot be seen.

This is really weird, Yuan Shuangqing waited for her to finish writing very seriously.

For so many years, Abai didn't know how to communicate with her with pen and ink, but he would occasionally do it when he pushed her.

The piece of paper floated down in front of Yuan Shuangqing, it only had four words, Yuan Shuangqing read it out in a low voice: "You go out of the house."

Yuan Shuangqing was a little disappointed, it's not that she hadn't thought about going out.

"I also want to leave the house, but I need a legitimate excuse. As long as I am still Miss Yuan's family, I will have no freedom at all."

The paper was taken away again, and soon floated over——

Tomorrow night, you find a way to go out of the house.

Going out of the house?Why?Yuan Shuangqing looked at the words on the paper, and then at A Bai's position, looking confused.

A Bai didn't intend to write any more, the rolled up paper fell onto the candlestick, and was quickly burned to ashes, emitting a pungent smell.

Yuan Shuangqing smiled helplessly and went back to bed to sleep.Ah Bai has Ah Bai's reasons, she will never harm her.

The next day, Yuan Shuangqing got up early, and when she walked out of the yard after washing, the rising sun was about to dye a small part of the sky red.

She was not grounded, and she could go to every place in the Yuan Mansion, but Yuan Shuangqing had only a handful of opportunities to go out and walk around on weekdays. Apart from the older generation, the new servants in the Yuan Mansion didn't know her well.Looking at Yuan Shuangqing's unpretentious clothes, she thought she was a new girl from some yard.

Yuan Shuangqing walked the way to the back door once, then turned back to the courtyard, rested for half an hour after lunch, and went out to the courtyard door again when the sun was high. No expression.
