Renew

In the courtyard, the wind was blowing, sand and stones rose from the sky, and fallen leaves shook the sky.

After the female ghost in blue swallowed the hanged ghost, she seemed to sense that someone was watching behind her, she pinched the unrolled painting, and suddenly turned her head.

Rong Li had already averted his gaze, and was looking up at the gloomy sky, squinting his eyes slightly, with a relaxed and indifferent expression, only a tendon in his back was still being pulled tightly.

The green-clothed ghost stared at it for a while, then snorted coldly, turned into a ghost and flew away as soon as it turned.

The ghost energy was also green, like miasma in the mountains, it suddenly dissipated so that even the shadow could not be found.

But Rongli didn't dare to relax, who knew if the ghost was hiding in the dark and spying quietly, she still looked up at the sky, until her eyes were dry and her body trembled again, then she rubbed her hands and closed the window.

It was dark outside, but there was still a faint light in the sky.But Xiaofu still didn't come back, and she didn't know what happened to stop her.

Rongli closed the window, her heart was beating wildly, as if she was about to die, she had no choice but to hold her chest, walked slowly to the table and sat down.She was dizzy, but she didn't dare to close her eyes, she was the only one in the room, if another ghost came, it might scare her out of her wits.

She thinks that she has never done anything wrong, so she will not be too scared to move when encountering ghosts in the mansion, but if the ghosts come from outside the mansion, like the ghost in Tsing Yi just now, then she will be afraid.

Just when he was about to pick up the teacup, the maid named Yu Zhuo sent by Meng Xian said outside the house: "Girl, the third lady is listening to the spring pavilion and throwing a banquet, to clean up the wind and dust for the master, and let the girl go with her."

Rong Li let out a long breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he blinked again, he looked soft and weak again.She got up and said, "Let's go then."

Three maids stood outside the house, waiting for her to come out.

Ting Chunting is in the middle of the lake, the lake was dug some years ago, I heard that the eldest lady wanted to go boating on the water, but she is too weak to travel far, so Rong Changting specially ordered someone to dig the lake in the mansion.

The water of the lake is crystal clear, and there are fish in it. When a group of fish swims by suddenly, it looks like Luo Qi is rippling past.

The plank road to Tingchun Pavilion is very narrow and twisted, and the handrail is so thin that it seems that it will break if you lean on it.

Rong Li walked from the Orchid Courtyard to the lake, he was already out of breath, his slender wrist rested on the railing, and he stopped for a while to rest.

The pavilion was indeed filled with delicacies, Rong Changting and several wives were all in the pavilion, they talked and laughed, they were really happy.

"Girl, we'll be there after passing this plank road, let's go there and take a rest?" Kong Qing, who seldom spoke, said.

"If not, I'll go there with the girl behind my back?" Yu Zhuo said suddenly.

Rong Li remembered clearly that she was on Yu Zhuo's back at that time, and she staggered and broke the railing, she fell into the water, but Yu Zhuo was standing on the shore perfectly.

She is not familiar with water, falling into the water is half a foot into the palace of Hades, not to mention that it is still the middle of winter and the lake is frozen to the bone.

"No need, if you make people carry you even for a meal, wouldn't dad feel even more distressed when you see him." Rong Li leaned towards the guardrail seemingly unintentionally, and the guardrail was really crumbling, as if someone had tampered with it.

Although she hadn't come to listen to Chunting for a long time, even if the handrails of the plank road were in disrepair for a long time, it would not be like this.

Rong Liu stood up straight, walked forward slowly, and when he walked for almost half a while, he suddenly heard the maid behind him talking.

"This soup is about to shake out, why don't you let me serve it." Yu Zhuo scolded.

Rong Li paused, and when he turned around, he saw a little maid holding the soup pot with her head down, and said in a low voice, "It didn't come out."

The edge of the pot was not even stained with a little bit of soup, and it didn't know where it came from.

But Yu Zhuo had already stretched out his hand, took the soup pot, and said, "You are clumsy, if you splash it on a girl, you will be the one to look at it."

Rong Li smiled, his eyes slightly bent, "It's just splashed, it's not intentional, why bother to train her."

"I'll come here in person, the new girl in the mansion is really ignorant." Yu Zhuo snorted coldly, probably because she had been by Meng Xian's side for a long time, her face was very arrogant.

Holding the soup in his hands, Yu Zhuo said again: "Miss, hurry up and enter the pavilion. There is a fire in the pavilion, and it is very warm. Don't blow the cold wind here."

As soon as Rong Li turned around, he saw Yu Zhuo staggered, and the hot soup splashed out from the pot.

This soup is steaming hot, if it is spilled on the body, it will scald a layer of skin off.

Rong Li turned around and bumped into the handrail suddenly, the handrail broke with a creak, and sawdust flew away.

The big girl wrapped in fox fur fell into the water just like that, and the water sprayed high, and her black hair swayed away, like ink melted in the water.

In the pavilion, Rong Changting stood up abruptly, and several servants jumped into the water one after another.

Rong Li fell into the water, she saw a few people swimming towards her in the distance.She felt very uncomfortable when her eyes got water, but she didn't dare to close them. At this time, her lungs seemed to be on fire, as if someone had strangled her neck, and her head was swollen violently.

A shadow approached quietly, Rong Li opened his sore eyes, and suddenly realized that the one who came the fastest was not the boy from the mansion, but——

Ghost in the water.

The ghost was soaked white all over, with long and black hair, floating like a curtain.On the pale face, a pair of eyes were so black that even the whites of the eyes could not be seen, as if there were two round black jade inlaid.

When the water ghost saw someone fall into the lake, his strangely long hair wrapped around her ankles as if he had become wise.

Rong Li suddenly regretted it, if she knew there were ghosts in the water, she might as well be splashed by the hot soup.

Fortunately, the few servants who came down were familiar with water, and brought her to the water, but the black hair wrapped around her ankle shrank back with a rustling sound when it saw a living person approaching.

On the plank road, beside Yu Zhuo's feet was a soup pot that was broken into pieces. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying out of breath, "Master, it's all the slave's fault. It's the slave who didn't hold the soup pot firmly. come out to scare the girl, otherwise, otherwise the girl wouldn't have to fall into the water just to avoid it."

Rong Li fell on the side, his whole body was dripping wet, his slender fingers curled up slightly, clinging to the fox fur of his cuffs, and the veins on the back of his hands were clearly marked.The clothes on her body were soaked, as if she was still soaked in water, and her whole body turned white from the cold.

Rong Changting pointed at the kneeling servant with trembling fingers, speechless for a long time.

Meng Xian stood on the side, frowned and said: "You bastard, is this how you take care of the eldest girl?"

Yu Zhuo knelt on the ground and shivered, as if she wasn't the one who deliberately dropped the soup pot just now.

Meng Xian said again: "If the master wants to punish, please wait for Li'er to wake up before discussing. Let Li'er decide how to punish at that time."

"Drag to the woodshed, don't let me see her these few days." Rong Changting didn't even want to look at the maid.

Meng Xian's misty brows were slightly frowned, and the downcast eyes glistened, "I also ask the master to punish the concubine, this ignorant maid was sent by me to take care of Li'er, how could she be so reckless."

Si Zhao stood beside her, raised her hand to cover the lower half of her face, but smiled and said nothing.

"Third Madam will not leave the house these few days." Rong Changting said coldly.

Meng Yuan was stunned for a moment, but it didn't work if he subdued himself first.

"Take the third lady back to the house." Rong Changting waved his hand, "I don't think anyone needs to eat this meal."

Hearing that the table full of delicacies in the spring pavilion was put in the cold, no one touched it, and finally let the servants withdraw to the kitchen.

When Rong Li woke up, Xiao Fu was sitting next to her, Xiao Fu looked at her worriedly, her eyes were as red as rouge.

Seeing her eyes open, Xiaofu leaned down suddenly, as if she was afraid that her voice would startle her own girl, so she lowered her voice and said: "Young lady caught a cold, and now her body is burning badly, so don't get up."

Rong Li was still groggy when he opened his eyes, but he woke up instantly when he heard her words, she pursed her lips, frowned, and sat up forcefully, dragging the quilt along: "Did the doctor come here?"

"I've been here, I prescribed some medicine, boil one dose a day, and one dose can last two meals." Xiao Fu looked sideways outside the house.

It was late at night, the candlelight outside the house was burning, and the two figures guarding the door were reflected on the door, they should be Bai Liujiu and Kong Qing who had not been punished.

The clothes on Rongli's body were dry, Xiaofu changed them after he passed out, his hair was also dried, and all the red ribbons tied in his hair were untied.

At this time, her face was not covered with makeup, her face was as white as if she could see through the light, her eyes were sleepy and moist, and her slightly trembling eyelashes were like butterflies resting on the deep pool.

"Girl?" Xiaofu raised her voice heartily.

"Did you feed me the medicine prescribed by the government doctor?" Rong Li raised his hand and touched his lips.She felt uneasy. In her previous life, she drank the medicine given by the government doctor. Although the cold was cured, the root cause of the disease was left behind.

"No." Xiaofu lowered her voice, leaning into Rongli's ear and said, "I entered the kitchen under the pretense of making porridge, and quietly boiled the medicine that the girl asked me to go out to buy, and I fed it to the girl. , is the medicine I brought back from outside the residence."

She paused, then said in a low voice, "I only fed one mouthful, and I can't feed the rest."

Rong Li nodded slightly, with the tip of his tongue against the gap between his teeth, he could only feel a bitterness in his mouth.

Xiao Fu said again: "When I was taking the medicine, the doctor asked if someone in the family was proficient in medical skills, and then he said that this medicine can not only cure the wind-cold, but also nourish the body, so that the body will not be weak when the wind-cold is cured."

She paused for a while, and said puzzledly: "But how did the girl know that she would catch the wind and cold, could it be, could it be that the girl knew that Yu Zhuo had ulterior motives?"

Rong Li leaned against the bedpost, his hands were still tightly pinching the edge of the quilt, his knuckles turned white as soon as he exerted force with his five fingers.He was so weak that he could barely speak, but he still had a slight smile and said softly, "I didn't know that she would stumble suddenly, and I didn't know that the soup would suddenly spill on me, let alone the plank road The handrails are so fragile."

Xiaofu's breath stagnates, somehow feeling that there is something in her girl's words.

"I fell into the lake before this one stood still. It was just the cold wind blowing and I was not feeling well, so I asked you to go out and get some medicine." Rong Li said again slowly.

"I'm sorry for our girl." Xiao Fu was about to cry again as she spoke.

Rong Li glanced at each of the four corners of the room, and seeing that there was no ghost in the room, he asked, "Has my father ever been here?"

"The master came twice, and left when he saw that the girl was still awake." Xiaofu paused, "Since the girl is awake, do you want to tell the master?"

"No." Rong Li's thin lips moved, and his eyes slanted towards the window lattice, but the window lattice was pasted with paper, so he couldn't see the curtain outside the house. "If the master comes, tell me that I'm not awake. If you find a chance to leave the house in the past few days, then spread a message for me."

"What news?" Little Fu Nana asked.

"Let's say that Rong's house is haunted by ghosts, and they dragged the poor girl into the lake. The girl committed a crime and couldn't wake up." Rong Li said slowly.

"But, but this..." Xiao Fu stared.

"Even if you let dad believe this, you can persuade him to find a few monks and priests. You take the golden hairpin left by mother as a pawn, and exchange it for silver taels. You can bribe the master you invited, and say that I am haunted by resentment. , anyone who is close to him will suffer a terrible death." Rong Li rolled over and got off the bed, got up and took out the golden hairpin from the cabinet.

It is indeed haunted by resentment, and I don't know if the green-clothed ghost that I saw during the day will come again, since she has found this place, I am afraid that the ghost in the painting is in Qi'an City.

The ghost in the painting...

I don't know what it looks like, but unfortunately I only saw a corner of the picture scroll.
