C131 Danger of Death (1)

Wan Rong saw that there was only one Wan Rou in the room, she gave her a look and whispered to her.

"Do you remember the time you asked me to go to father's place to ask about the temple? When he returned, it was already dark. This servant was afraid that someone would see him, so he intentionally took a shortcut. She happened to be drunk on the way and was about to sleep with a groom. Take a look at who the coachman is, he's also at our place, and is Tie Tou. "

Xu Mingwei was clearly startled, that's not possible... How old was Tie Tou at that time? Old Mrs. Yang was almost forty. The old cow was almost nibbling on the seedlings.

"Even Tie Tou's belt was torn apart by Old Woman Yang. If not for the fact that he escaped quickly, that old granny might really have ended up in trouble. Since this servant wanted to learn her ability, he had no choice but to use this weakness to pass it to her. Her son and daughter are both servants at home and cannot afford to lose that person. Naturally, they would be extremely willing and willing to do their best to teach the slave so they wouldn't dare to hold back. " Coincidentally, Wan Rong pressed her hand on Xu Mingwei's waist and eyes, causing them to go numb, unable to say a word.

After a while, Xu Mingwei squeezed out, "Old Woman Yang has good eyes, seeing that you have strength, isn't it?"

Wan Rong was startled, she could not help but let out a pfft sound, and laughed till she could not breathe. After a while, she said, "So grandmother was also a narrow-minded ghost, or did she teach Young Master to be a bad one?"

Hearing Wan Rong mention Fu Heng, Xu Mingwei laughed and did not say anything.

When Wan Rong was tired, she served her well and went back to her ear room to listen to the night duty.

Although they were supposed to be on duty, there was nothing for them to do. Xu Mingwei had always slept soundly, and very rarely did she wake up to ask for water to drink. When it was Wan Rong and the others' turn to be on duty, they probably slept with them until dawn.

So when Xu Mingwei rested, after Wan Rong and Wan Rou talked for a while, when they could no longer bear the sleepiness, they all went to sleep. Unexpectedly, it was precisely this kind of relaxation that nearly led to an accident at night.

In the middle of the night, there was the sudden sharp cry of a cat. Wan Rong was startled awake, and when she heard the sound clearly come from Xu Mingwei's room, she felt that it wasn't good. She hurriedly reached out to push Wan Rou, and as she put on her outer robe, she rushed into the room to take a look.

When she saw it, she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. Inside the room, on the foot of the mahogany bed, was a snake as thick as an infant's arm. Its scales were dark and shiny.

"Don't come near me, this snake is poisonous." Xu Mingwei also saw Wan Rong at this time, and warned him.

The snowball impatiently swung its tail, its strange eyes staring at the poisonous snake under the bed, occasionally puffing at it.

"Miss, what should we do? Who should we call? " Wan Rong was anxious, she even used the way she used to be called before.

In his heart, Xu Mingwei felt it was funny. In this life and death situation, Wan Rong actually still had the strength to pay attention to the defense of men and women.

With the snowball protecting her, she did not panic like she did before. She became calmer and calmer and instructed, "Go call the Nanny Xu and Peaches over."

One had the experience of cooking and killing snakes, while the other had boundless strength.

Wan Rong immediately understood her meaning, she turned and saw that Wan Rou had also entered, but was leaning on the wall with a white face, and did not dare approach.

"Look after the girl."

Wan Rou nodded, her legs were weak as she took a small step forward.

Xu Mingwei shook his head, "You don't need to come over, even if you get closer you won't be able to help.

Wan Rou was extremely afraid. After hearing this, she thought that it was because her master despised her and was of no use. Gritting her teeth, she walked forward a few steps.

Xu Mingwei saw that Wan Rou could not hear her, so she changed her tone, "Wan Rou, go and close the window, so as to avoid letting it escape into the courtyard later. "Then I opened the trunk and brought in the bed quilt."

Although Wan Rou did not know what she wanted to do with the blanket, but at the moment, if there were anything she wanted her to do, it would be better than trembling before the poisonous snake, and so she listened to him.

Peaches and Nanny Xu came in one after the other. In the middle of the night, when they saw the black snake at first glance, their faces turned pale and they froze for a moment.

Xu Mingwei asked, "Xu mama, do you have any ideas?"

The Nanny Xu's face turned white, "I have made snake soup, but I have never taken over the live snake …"

"This servant has caught a cauliflower in the countryside. Why don't I try it?"

Xu Mingwei stopped him, "Wait a moment, if we lose, it will be a matter of life and death. I have an idea and I want all of you to work together. "

The four people in the room looked at each other and nodded their heads heavily.

Seeing that, Xu Mingwei ordered everyone, "Wan Rou, Wan Rong, one of you hold onto the blanket while the other is holding onto it. I will shout for one, two, three times, and you will throw the blanket on top of the snake. Peaches, if you see a blanket with a bump on it, step on it and be careful not to fall down. "Xu mama Xu, you take out a broom and move around the side of the formation. If the peaches step on them and the snake shows its head, you can crush it to death."

Wan Rou thought, since she could do it herself, she might as well go and prepare for it with Wan Rong. Upon hearing Xu Mingwei's shout, the venomous snake was covered by a blanket. Peaches was the calmest of the group. As soon as the quilt fell to the ground, she ruthlessly stomped on it. Who knew how many times she stepped on the azure silk. When she saw that it was clearly stained with blood, Xu Mingwei shouted for her to stop, causing her to relax and stop moving.

Nanny Xu stepped forward and carefully lifted the corner of her blanket, sizing up the snake that was badly mutilated, then exhaled.

Xu Mingwei's back was already drenched in cold sweat, but at this moment, she finally relaxed. Only then did she feel a sense of discomfort from the clothes sticking to her body, and she said, "Don't move the blanket away yet. Even if the snake was dead, it could still move. If it was accidentally bitten, it would be unjustly accused. Wan Rou, go and see if the windows are all locked. There was no one left in the house tonight, so she locked the door and watched carefully. No one was allowed to enter the house. Wan Rong, help me change clothes. Peaches, pour some hot water for me, enough to wipe my back is enough … "

With these words, everyone had a faint idea of what was going on. Is Master suspecting that someone is deliberately letting snakes injure people? No one dared to say a word and followed the order.

Xu Mingwei then turned to the Nanny Xu and said, "I will have to trouble Senior Mu a bit more to cook a few bowls of hot soup and everyone else to eat, but if there is anything else, we do not need to keep it until tomorrow to calm down."

Nanny Xu's mind immediately turned to the two catties of pig bone and half a duck stewed on the small stove at the back. Originally used to stew broth, but after adding a few vegetables to fish for noodles, she also left.

Xu Mingwei patted the snowball's fluffy little head, hugged it and kissed it, "If not for you today, I'm afraid that something bad would have happened. Thank you, snowball. "

The snowball let her hug it for less than a minute, but it finally lost its patience. It wagged its tail and got out, jumping onto the bed as it meowed proudly.

It was a thrilling night, and when everyone gathered at the side hall to eat noodles, their eyes were still filled with fear. Only after eating a bowl of hot broth noodles did Wan Rong and the others come to life. They couldn't help but start to think about how such a big snake could have entered into the house.

"Grandma, should we call the old woman who was guarding the door here tonight to ask?" Wan Rong asked.

When night came, the door was locked. Wan Rong was very sure about this, when she walked out from the inner room, she casually opened the door, and it was indeed locked. The only possible explanation was that someone had secretly let the snake in through the window … As a result, the most suspicious thing was that the gatekeeping woman had been bribed and allowed into the yard.

Xu Mingwei nodded her head and said, "You and Peaches, call a few more strong ones to wake up the old gatekeepers. At the same time, also capture all the patrolling women, the more noise the better. She brought him to the west side yard and tied the switch. Don't say anything, but just ask them who they are, and when they're locked, and who's been in and out of the house tonight. "When the sun rises, you are not allowed to sleep at all, nor are you given any water. If you want to shout, don't stop them from shouting, just do as they say."

Seeing Wan Rong looking at him with a hesitating gaze, Xu Mingwei laughed, "Go. "Also, call the old man from Old Lai's house over for me. It has cooled her down for quite some time now, so it's about time to use her."

Wan Rong then accepted the order.

Nanny Xu looked at the young master, who was leisurely teasing a cat, and couldn't help but be convinced in his heart. The so-called true colors of a man, Mount Tai in front of the face without change, is no other than this. Now that she thought about it, she still felt a bit scared. If it was her turn to sleep well into the middle of the night, then a snake would suddenly appear in the room. She would be scared out of her wits.

Xu Mingwei also noticed the look in Nanny Xu's eyes, and thanked her indifferently: "It was hard on you, you were even able to take out some duck meat and feed it to the snowball. "Tonight, he has done a great service and is worried that there is nothing to reward him for."

The Nanny Xu said respectfully, "I don't dare to say that, so I did it conveniently. It's still some time before dawn, why don't you go back and get a good night's sleep? "

Then, she remembered that there was still a dead snake on the floor, so where could she go to sleep? He regretted saying the wrong things secretly in his heart, and was feeling upset, when he heard Xu Mingwei laughed: "I will save myself. You can go by yourself. You still have to busy yourself at dawn, it's a bit early for you to rest. "

Nanny Xu originally wanted to accompany them, but seeing the expression on Xu Mingwei's face, she could only push the door and leave.

"Finally, only the two of us are left." Xu Mingwei sighed as she pinched the snowball's claws, her ten fingers slightly trembling.

The snowball seemed to have sensed something as it stuck out its pink tongue and gently licked her finger, letting out a soft meow.

With a slight smile on his lips, Xu Mingwei looked out the window into the pitch black night and could not help but to ponder. Who would be the one to harm her? She could no longer see the situation of the Fu Clan's inner chamber clearly. Lady Helan had always taught her that all the struggles in the world were made with one word, "fame" or "profit". No matter how dazzling the appearance was, it was impossible to escape suspicion no matter who benefited the most from it. But if she married into the Fu Family, who would be in her way?
