The prince and concubine of the poor family will catch ghosts

Chapter 12 Red Leaf Villa
In the middle of the night, there is a cool breeze outside the window.Suddenly, a scream came from the silent night sky, waking up everyone in the room.

Lu Xiaoguo hugged the quilt blankly and looked at Beichen Wuyou who was also awake on the couch, "The voice seems to be coming from the left."

Beichen nodded without worry: "On the left is Ye Shibo's dormitory." Worried, he got off the couch and put on his shoes, ready to check.

Lu Xiaoguo also jumped out of bed in a hurry, put on her clothes in a hurry, lit a lantern, and followed him out.

The yard was quiet, the two of them walked through the garden, and when they arrived at the gate of Master Ye's bedroom, their voices had already stopped.The courtyard door was locked, and there was not even a gatekeeper, so they couldn't go in.

"Do you see this?" Beichen Wuyou noticed a series of small black footprints on the ground, as if they were smudged with ink on the rice paper, and they were slowly fading away.

"Hey, is it left by the little ghost who played cards with the little water ghost during the day?" Lu Xiaoguo took a look at the footprints, which seemed to be about the same size, but unfortunately, only seven or eight of these footprints came out of the yard, and It quickly faded out of sight.

There is another thing that made Lu Xiaoguo very strange. They came all the way, but they didn't see half a figure. Could it be that they were the only ones who heard the woman's screams?

The two were very curious, but it was a pity that there was no one to answer the question in the middle of the night, so they had to go back and continue to rest.

The next day, while Lu Xiaoguo was going to have dinner, he struck up a conversation with Xiaomei, the little girl who led the way. When asked about yesterday's voice, Xiaomei said disapprovingly, "That's Aunt Wu's abdominal cramps. She has been sick for many years. Everyone is used to it."

"So that's how it is." Lu Xiaoguo suddenly realized, and looked at Beichen Wuyou, she was sure that it wasn't colic at all, and it must have something to do with that kid's footprints last night.

Master Ye didn't come during breakfast, he presumably stayed in the yard to accompany Mrs. Wu.

Because Beichen Wuyou proposed to take Lu Xiaoguo to catch fish in the deep pool of the back mountain yesterday, so he asked the housekeeper Ye Fulai for some tools, took Xiaomei with him, and went to the back mountain.

Hongye Villa covers a relatively large area, and in the back of the mountain, apart from the trails along the mountain, there are dense bushes.At this moment, it is the genus of summer, and the foliage is even more luxuriant, even covering the path, making the road dark and gloomy.

Halfway up the mountain, the three of them were resting in the small pavilion. Lu Xiaoguo jumped up and down and climbed to the top of the pavilion, but suddenly saw an open space in the lush forest, and there was a small gorgeous tree. Grave mound.She couldn't help being a little curious: "Xiaomei, isn't this the area of ​​the Ye family? Why is there a grave over there?"

Xiaomei ran out from the pavilion, looked up at the direction she was pointing, "Oh, that's our Young Master Bao, Auntie Wu suffered from colic after he disappeared."

Lu Xiaoguo couldn't help but tsk-tsk, the grave was so well-made for a three-year-old child, I don't know if the little water ghost will be envious and jealous when he sees it!
Seeing that she hadn't come down for a long time, Beichen Wuyou knew that she was quite skilled, but he was still worried, "Come down quickly, sit here and rest for a while, we are continuing to climb the mountain." The green leaves scattered on his moon-white figure, making the whole person more spiritual and elegant.In the mellow and pleasant voice, there is a taste of pampering.

Lu Xiaoguo stared at him with a pursed smile, wanting to jump into his arms, but she was afraid that she would scare him, so she obediently landed on the open space next to him.

Before he could stand still, Beichen Wuyou held his hand, "Be careful." His unique coolness penetrated the heart and lungs in an instant, and it was more refreshing than this mountain breeze.

"Let's go." She was afraid that Beichen Wuyou would let go of her hand when she was resting in the pavilion, so she simply let him lead her up the mountain without resting.

In the deep pool on the mountain, there are indeed many delicious grass carp, and Xiaomei's craftsmanship is good, she ate two of them herself, and her stomach was full.

When I came back from the mountain, it was already [-] o'clock in the evening, and the sun was setting, and the path covered by the shade of trees looked more and more eerie.

At dinner time, not only Master Ye was there, but his concubine Wu Shi was also there.

In her early thirties, she has a small and exquisite figure, with graceful eyebrows and eyes unique to Jiangnan women, and her every move reveals a gentle and delicate atmosphere.But even the delicate makeup couldn't hide the small black spots on her eyes and cheeks.

"Did my concubine scare the two of you yesterday?" Her voice was as soft as a human being.

"No, you don't have to worry about it." Beichen Wuyou replied lightly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wu also relaxed, and enthusiastically persuaded Lu Xiaoguo and Beichen to eat food without worry.She is a person who is used to long-sleeved and good at dancing, and she speaks impeccably. With such a charming person, it's no wonder that Master Ye dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, and holds her on top of his heart. It's a pity that the two of them have no children now, which is really a pity.

On the way back, Lu Xiaoguo couldn't help gossiping: "That Mrs. Ye, doesn't she have children?"

"Yes, I remember holding a grand full moon banquet back then, but I was sick at the time, and my father and mother were not going to attend, so I never saw the child. Later, I heard that when I was three years old, I fell If you enter the pond, it will be gone." He paused for a moment, stopped and looked at Lu Xiaoguo: "Could it be the one who played with the little water ghost yesterday?"

But Lu Xiaoguo shook his head: "No, if he is a water ghost, I can sense it, not to mention if he is drowned, how can he allow the little water ghost to live in this house." One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. "Go, go and see the little water ghost, maybe the little ghost came to play with him today."

It was still in the shadow of the rockery, but Lu Xiaoguo and the others came later, and now only the little water ghost was left, happily counting a lot of paper money there.Seeing Lu Xiaoguo coming, he wanted to show off to her happily, but he just opened his mouth and saw Beichen Wuyou behind her, so he closed his mouth sleepily, "I heard that there are new coffins on sale in the market recently, I'll see you tomorrow Maybe go to the market."

The bazaar he was talking about was a special market for these lonely ghosts. On a certain date, lonely ghosts from all over the world would come to sell their handicrafts or buy things.

Lu Xiaoguo couldn't be bothered to complain, he couldn't find his own bones, and he was so keen on buying a coffin, he couldn't help but glared at him: "What are you doing buying so much, the river in the town has been blocked by your coffin not once or twice. "
