The sound of the wind seemed to grow louder and louder, like the sound of a sharp wind passing through a canyon, twisting and changing its tone. The window paper whistled as it vibrated, even the panes were compressed to the point of letting out a distorted ping sound.
Wu Yu suddenly woke up from his stupor. He could tell that the sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of the wind … The woman's mournful wails.
No, to be exact, it was not the sound of the wind at all, but the sound of crying and laughter mixed together with something indistinguishable, as if there were intermittent words.
"I... Good... Pitiful … Woo woo … * I died... "How tragic …"
Wu Yu felt something pressing on his chest, and his hands and feet seemed numb, unable to move.
"Ming Zhu!" She struggled with all her might and suddenly let out a loud shout, but she did not hear Ming Zhu's response as scheduled.
Wu Yu almost cried. She wanted to move desperately, but her body was numb. She could only shout "Ming Zhu" again and again.
However, the mournful sound outside the window did not let her go. It was getting closer and closer, to the point that there was the sound of claws scraping against the window pane.
"Wh …" "Who is it?" Wu said in a trembling voice.
No one paid any attention to her, and the scrape of the window grew sharper.
Wu Yu suddenly remembered that when he came back at night, Zhou Zhen had called out to him when she looked at the lonely cabin: "Cat!"
Maybe the cat was scratching at the window? Suddenly, from somewhere, she felt a surge of strength. With trembling hands, she grabbed the porcelain pillow and slammed it against the window pane.
With a loud bang, a hole appeared in the window paper, and the porcelain pillow shattered into countless pieces.
A cold wind blew through the broken window paper. The sound of the wind was getting louder, but the sound of claws scraping against the window was gone.
Wu Yu was so exhausted that he couldn't even lift his hands. He could only stare at the window and see a black shadow that was slightly distorted on the window pane. It looked like a tall, thin and pretty woman.
Wu Yu couldn't stand the shock, so he let out a short cry, his vision turned black, and he fainted.
When the sun was rising in the east, even a tiny bit of the morning sunlight could not dispel the coldness of the mist. Condensed droplets of water fell on people's faces, making their skin shiver.
Outside of the latrine, a woman had fainted. Her eyelids moved due to the sunlight, and she slowly opened her eyes as she frowned.
Ah!" She stumbled to her feet, only to realize that she was completely numb from the cold. She lost her balance and fell down again. After much difficulty, she stood up again. When she raised her eyes in panic, it was already dawn.
Ignoring the mud and dew on her hands, she stumbled into the room and pushed open the door to her bedroom, feeling the warmth only when she opened it.
"Miss … "Miss?"
Wu Yu was shaken awake. When he woke up, he immediately jumped up and started screaming non-stop. His terrified eyes were wide open and bloodshot.
"What's the matter, Miss?" Ming Zhu was even more frightened, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Ghost …" "Ghost!" Wu Yu pointed at the window. "There's a ghost — why is it dawn?"
"Miss, you … Don't scare me! "
Wu Yu spread out his hands and said in fear: "Why …" How come I can move again? I couldn't move my hands and feet last night, I... Where did you go? "
"This servant woke up to go to the toilet, then fainted for no reason …" Ming Zhu rubbed the back of her head. Because she was lying on the ground, the back of her head was still swollen, and there was still some pain from touching it.
"Someone knocked you out?"
"Nope." Ming Zhu shook her head. Her memory was very clear. She definitely did not encounter any attacks, nor did she encounter any strange occurrences. She just mysteriously fainted.
"How is this possible!?" You're not sick! You have been serving me since I was young, and you are always so lively! " Wu shook her, full of fear.
Ming Zhu was also trembling as she felt a strange and terrifying feeling. If he had been knocked unconscious, it would not have been the most terrifying thing to do. It was because he had fainted for no reason that everything seemed even more bizarre. All of this did not seem like human actions at all.
Listening to Wu Yu's story again, Ming Zhu suddenly turned around, pointing at the window, her face pale.
The window facing the bed was in perfect condition, and there were no broken pieces of porcelain pillows on the floor. When he looked back, Wu Yu had the porcelain pillow placed on the bed, unharmed.
"I... "Impossible, I clearly remember!" Wu felt like she was going crazy. She got dressed and got out of bed. She walked around to the window, her hair all disheveled.
It was early in the morning, and the wailing sounds within the rain-filled courtyard woke everyone up from their stupor.
Zhou Zhen woke up early and finished washing up. When she heard the sound, he walked over.
When Cheng Yingzhi woke up, she felt as if her body had been tossed and turned. There was a little pain from last night, but it was not clear. It was as if Xiao Yixiu was hugging her, whispering softly and affectionately.
She was a little shy, a little lost and frightened. She reached out her hand to touch the empty blanket beside her.
He opened his eyes and lifted the blanket. Seeing the dark bloodstains on the white silk, Cheng Ying suddenly felt like crying.
"You're awake?"
In panic, Cheng Ying Zhi grabbed the blanket to cover herself up before realizing that Xiao Yi Xiu was already dressed neatly and was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her from the start.
The quality of the white satin clothing was excellent. It gave off a pure and cold aura. His face still had a faint smile, but his eyes did not allow anyone to get close to it. He could not find any trace of that kind of gentle chatter from last night. It was as if the person that was a little crazy and indulgent was not him.
However, such a Xiao Yi Xiu, with his inky eyebrows and thin, red lips, was especially attractive.
Cheng Yingzhi was stunned for a while. Suddenly, she thought, this is the person she married. If she is not the rumored dying patient, she should be much better than the King of Yan.
She sighed to herself and tried to look elegant and shy as she got up.
It was at this moment that he heard Wu Yu's screams and cries.
"What happened?" Cheng Ying's hairs stood on end, this cry was too mournful.
"I don't know. This King will go take a look first. Put on your clothes first and don't catch a cold." He seemed to glance at her meaningfully and went out.
Cheng Ying's face suddenly flushed red.
Wu Dong's hair was down and his legs were down. His outer robe was also lightly draped over his body, and he was crying. Ming Zhu also looked a little disheveled, her clothes were stained with mud and dew, as she frantically supported Wu Yu.
Zhou Zhen was listening to her rambling about what had happened last night, so much so that they hadn't even noticed when Xiao Yixiu had arrived.
Jinshu respectfully followed Xiaoyu. When she heard Wu speaking about the sound of claws scratching the window, she interjected, "Is it the sound of human nails or the sound of animal claws?"
Wu Yu was stunned: "No …" He didn't know that Zhou Zhen had seen a black cat in the herb garden last night … "None of us saw it. I was afraid that I would scare myself, but in reality, it was just a cat doing something, so I just used a porcelain pillow to smash it …"
Cheng Yingzhi also rushed over and listened to the second half of the narration.
When Jin Shu heard this, she chuckled. "Black cat? "Xin Wei's concubine once had a black cat, called Black Jade, and died."
"Dead?" Wu Yu's hair stood on end.
Even Cheng Ying Zhi crossed his arms and caressed it, his eyes revealing his fear.
