A knife in love

Chapter 2398
Wu Xiucai didn't look at it, but when he looked at it, he was stunned and stunned.There was a red candle lit on the table in the room, Qing Mei was sitting by the table, with her back to the window, combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror.It's just that what's reflected in the bronze mirror is not a beautiful face, but a snow-white skull.The two black eyeholes of the skull were eerie, the mouth was slightly opened, and the two rows of extremely sharp teeth shone coldly under the candlelight.

Wu Xiucai felt his whole body was cold, and wanted to turn around and run away, but his body seemed to be frozen in ice, and he couldn't even move. He could only stare blankly into the house through the small hole in the window.A moment later, Qing Mei grabbed her hair bun with her left hand and lifted her head from her neck.Holding the comb in her right hand, she slowly combed the long hair on her head in front of the bronze mirror.Seeing such a strange situation, Wu Xiucai couldn't bear it any longer. With a loud cry, his eyes went dark and he fell backwards.Just hearing a "bang", Wu Xiucai fell to the ground on his back, and passed out.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Xiucai slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was already lying on the bed, and Li Leniang was sitting beside the bed.Seeing Wu Xiucai woke up, she had a look of surprise on her face, and said in a trembling voice, "Husband, what's wrong with you? You scared Le Niang to death!"

Only then did Wu Xiucai remember what had happened before, and his face immediately turned pale again.It's just that he was about to speak, but he heard footsteps, turned his head to look, and saw Qingmei walking in with a square plate in both hands, and a black medicine pot was placed on the square plate.When Wu Xiucai saw Qing Mei, it was like seeing an evil spirit. He was so frightened that he cowered at the head of the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and was shaking like chaff, unable to utter a word.

Li Leniang saw that Wu Xiucai was so frightened, she hurriedly comforted him softly and said: "Husband, the godmother came here early in the morning. She knows the way of medicine and said that the husband is too weak, so she passed out in the yard. The godmother made Qingmei suffer The decoction, my husband will recover after drinking it, so there is no need to worry too much."

After Li Leniang finished speaking, Qing Mei interjected, "Madam is right. Mr. Wu, you should get up and take your medicine."

When Wu Xiucai heard Qing Mei speak, her body trembled more and more.Li Leniang comforted him softly, he was just hiding under the quilt, unable to even speak.Seeing this situation, Li Leniang had no choice but to let Qingmei put the square plate on the table, then turned her head and said to Wu Xiucai: "After Qingmei got up this morning, she was about to go to the kitchen to cook, but she found her husband lying in the yard. She I don't know what happened, so I called Le Niang up in a panic, and helped her husband back together."

When Li Leniang said this, she paused for a while, and then continued: "Husband usually wakes up after sunrise, why did he wake up so early today? And why did he pass out in the yard?"

Wu Xiucai hid in the quilt, although he was terrified, but he was much calmer than before.He thought to himself, if I told about spying on Qingmei, Le Niang would definitely be furious, maybe kick me out immediately.After I fainted from fright, Qingmei went out and saw me lying under the window, so she must know that I was peeping at her.But listening to what Le Niang had just said, Qing Mei only said that she saw me lying in the yard.This girl is covering up for me like this, she must have affection for me.When I peeked at her, it was still dark and the surroundings were dark, and there was only one candle burning in the room, and I was two or three feet away from the bronze mirror.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiucai felt relieved, poked his head out of the quilt in a panic, and secretly looked at Qingmei.I saw Qingmei standing beside Li Leniang, looking at him with a self-smiling smile.Wu Xiucai felt a chill in his heart, and almost retracted his head again.It's just that he knew that if he showed his flaws at this time, and Li Leniang found out that he had mischievous intentions towards Qingmei, he was afraid that he would be kicked out of the house immediately, so he could only grit his teeth, forced a smile, and said in a trembling voice: "Le Niang, Qing Mei, you don't have to worry. I had a nightmare in the morning. After waking up, I didn't dare to go back to sleep. I was afraid of disturbing Le Niang's rest, so I sneaked into the yard. Maybe I was just scared She was covered in cold sweat, and when she got up, she was wearing one less piece of clothing. When the wind blows her, she felt her eyes darkened, and she fell to the ground. There is no serious problem now, just don't worry, Le Niang."

Hearing what Wu Xiucai said, Li Leniang patted her chest lightly with her right hand, and said with a smile, "This is the best. Husband, you don't know how frightened Le Niang was when she saw you passed out on the ground. Husband is safe now. Nothing happened, the clouds all over the sky cleared up, which is great."

After hearing what Li Leniang had said, Qing Mei hurriedly picked up the medicine pot on the square plate, gently brought it in front of Wu Xiucai, and said: "This is the soul-soothing soup that the old lady ordered the servant girl to make for you, sir. After drinking it, your body will definitely get better."

Wu Xiucai took the medicine pot and thanked him.Qing Mei smiled and said: "Qing Mei is a servant, and it is only natural to contribute to the husband and wife. If the husband thanked the maidservant, that would be killing the maidservant."

Although Wu Xiucai was not as panicked as before at this time, he was a little afraid of Qing Meiwu, so after listening to her, Wu Xiucai avoided looking at her, and drank the soup in the pot on his own .It was almost noon, and in the afternoon, Wu Xiucai was already in good health, so Li Leniang felt relieved, and said that after Li's mother came here in the morning, she repeatedly told herself to take good care of Wu Xiucai.Now that Wu Xiucai is in good health, he is going to tell Mother Li about this so that she won't worry about it.

After Li Leniang left with Qing Mei, Wu Xiucai was really bored staying in the house, so he put on his clothes and walked to the yard.Although it was bright all around, standing in the yard, he felt chills down his spine, thinking of seeing Qing Mei's appearance in the morning, he felt a little panic in his heart.Wu Xiucai stood in a daze for a moment, only to feel that there seemed to be countless sinister eyes peeping at him from the surrounding houses, and he didn't dare to stay in the yard anymore, he hurried to the front yard, and he didn't grow up until he walked out of the house. Let out a sigh of relief.

Wu Xiucai stood by the side of the road, thinking to himself that he was the only one left in this house, it would be too gloomy.It's not too late to wait for Le Niang and Qing Mei to return home from Mama Li's house.Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved, just thinking about taking a stroll around, suddenly he heard someone behind him say: "Mr. Wu, why are you wandering around here if you don't go back to the mansion?"

Wu Xiucai was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw Bai Wei walking down the mountain, only two or three feet away from him.Ever since Wu Xiucai got married to Li Leniang, he was intoxicated in the gentle countryside every day, and rarely even walked out of the gate, so he never saw Bai Wei again.Seeing Bai Wei at this time, Wu Xiucai was taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Ah, so it's Mr. Bai. We haven't seen each other for a while, how is Mr. Bai recently?"

Wu Xiucai looked at Bai Wei carefully while talking.I saw Bai Weibu covering his head, wearing only a short shirt, holding a bamboo basket in his left hand, and a short-handled iron medicine pick in his right hand, completely different from his usual scribe's attire.Wu Xiucai was startled, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Bai, why are you dressed like this? Could something have happened?"
