Chapter 470: Imprisoned · Old Ghost

The room was a little dark.
I sat at the table and watched the only ray of sunlight coming in from the hidden window, but this dark room was no longer illuminated. I could only see a lot of dust flying in the light, and it became more chaotic. , The quieter.
The wind was blowing outside, and the half-closed window lintel hit the window frame and made a rustling sound. You could hear the rustling sound of the rustling leaves in the empty courtyard outside. It has to make people feel like going crazy.
Following those voices, there was a cry of a girl.
This sound is a bit strange, like a newcomer.
An old uncle stood outside and asked loudly, "What's wrong with this? Who is she?"
Another slightly younger puppet said: "This dead girl, when she served the concubine in Chonghua Palace yesterday, unexpectedly broke and broke the concubine's son-in-law Guanyin. It's up! "
"Oh, who doesn't know that the most important thing for a concubine is the one who gave the child Guanyin. She was actually broken by her. Huh, it's no wonder that she will be assigned here now."
"Come here, but don't even think about going out."
The two of them also said that the girl was crying so hard that she begged for mercy: "Well, you can do good, help me, please help me, oh."
"Pleading? Huh, you are still dreaming, you have already come here, even if Tianwang Laozi pleads with you, you don't want to go out again."
When I heard this, I lowered my eyes.
The two uncles outside talked coldly, the girl cried for a long time, and the cry finally calmed down. She listened to those words of hers, and it seemed as if she had accepted her fate. He said, "Well, oh, what am I doing here?"
"Well, isn't that good? When you come here, you should confess your fate. In fact, there is nothing to do here, just go and give the mad woman in that room three meals every day."
"Crazy woman ?!"
The girl's voice dropped suddenly, as if frightened: "What crazy woman?"
The older sister-in-law said, "This crazy woman was imprisoned more than two years ago. She started to get sick every day, and she cried all day, shouting what daughter and shouting three children, no day It was noisy all night and we couldn't sleep, but after beating her a few times, I was just a little bit better. "
"So, where did she come from? Why don't you rush out?"
"Get out? Hey, if you can get out, it's all right, but this madwoman commits a capital crime. How could it be cheaper to get out?"
"Sin? What did she do?"
"I heard that she dared to assassinate the emperor in front of everyone in Texas!"
"Ah ?! Really?"
"I heard that, too," said the younger sister. "My nephew had been on a business trip in Texas. He told me that this madwoman didn't know what to do, and annoyed the emperor. The emperor refused to let him. She left, and she was going to leave. When the emperor seized her, the madwoman did not know where to pull out a knife and stabbed at the emperor, if it was not the princess ---
"Nonsense!" She didn't finish her words, and another uncle interrupted her immediately. Although she could not see her, she could still hear her sound with her voice: "Do you want to die? Do you forget the emperor? Taboo! "
The uncle hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, yes, yes, I it, it was Princess Li. If it wasn't for the Princess Li to go up and help the emperor block the sword, I'm afraid now--"
"Ah? She is so brave, why doesn't the emperor kill her head?"
"Hey, it ’s the same. If the emperor loves Princess Li so much, others will not dare to scratch her nails. This mad woman dares to stab the Emperor, and hurts Princess Li, and she is so badly wounded. They are all dead, but it's strange that the emperor didn't cut her head, but just kept it here, really kind. "
"Yes……"
"Okay, don't talk about these gossips. This is her lunch at noon today. You can hurry up and give it to her at the door."
"……Yes."
I sat quietly by the window, listening to the timid gasping voice of the girl outside, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before holding the tray, and walked in carefully. I listened to her as she stepped up the steps lightly, as if even My breath was held.
The tray was on the ground, and the girl didn't dare to look inside, and turned to leave.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, suddenly, a pale, thin, bulging hand stretched out of the fence and grabbed her wrist. She whispered in shock and looked back at the fence. I was here, I was holding her wrists vigorously, digging on the fence, watching her and saying, "Can you do me a favor?"
The girl suddenly saw my face and suddenly screamed, "Ah! Ghost, there is a ghost!"
I try to make myself look kind and softly: "You, help me, okay?"
She struggled desperately to get rid of me, but I still held her wrist vigorously and did not let go, but I tried to soften my voice as much as possible and said, "Can you help me, help me?"
"You let me go, let go!" She screamed in fright, and beat my hand with the other hand. The pale hand was beaten red and swollen, but I didn't seem to feel anything at all, but I held her seriously Said: "You help me, help me to ask, have you found my daughter, her name is Lier ... my daughter, have you found ..."
Just then, the two uncles had heard the news, and scolded at the sight: "She's crazy again!"
Having said that, the young uncle came up, flicked a wooden staff in front of the door, and knocked it hard against the back of my hand. Suddenly a sudden pain came. I finally let go of my hand, and a large swelling on the back of my hand. The girl was so scared that she fell to the ground and wow cried.
The uncle still hurried my hand before I had time to retract, and beat again a few times, scolding: "If you don't hit you for a few days and make trouble, believe it or not I can't get you to bed for three days!"
I retracted my hand, and it seemed to be hurting.
The girl was so scared that I couldn't stand up, was pulled out by the two uncles, and also scolded her: "It's really useless, scared by her like this, see how you can live in the future!"
The girl almost collapsed and said, "Well, I can't stand it, it's scary!"
Geng coldly said: "What do you think this place is, you can choose it? Also, in the future, take care of your mouth, don't talk about a crazy woman here, few people in the palace know. Do you know why you can come here, that is, the previous girl talked to others, and was cut off by the emperor. If you don't want to die, be obedient! "
The girl's frightened face was all white, and Vino promised, several people left.
I was still lying on the wooden fence, but I couldn't do anything, I just watched them three swear and closed the courtyard door of the small courtyard and left, and in the empty courtyard, only the wind was yellow. The rustling sound of the fallen leaves restored everything like dead water.
I didn't know how long it took before I stood up slowly and sat back at the table.
As soon as I looked up, I saw the dusty bronze mirror reflecting my appearance.
The cheeks were thin and sunken, the eyes were the same, the cheekbones were slightly raised, and there was a kind of skinny sharpness, but the eyes were still very bright, even in a room with such a dim light, just that kind of light Like the winter sun shining on the ice, although splendid and splendid, it still cannot melt the ice of that thousand years.
The long hair drooped down, which somewhat covered the embarrassment of thinning cheeks, but the hair that was once as bright as satin also lost its luster at this time, with a hint of withering.
No wonder, that girl was scared to tears by me. Isn't it just like a ghost like me?
I picked up the comb, slowly combed it, and a lot of hair fell on the comb teeth.
It's autumn, and even the leaves outside are falling, not to mention human hair?
I slowly turned my head and looked at the door. Although the door was open, the light could not shine in, because outside the door, there was a row of wooden fences added later, tightly locked by iron chains, only It opens only a few times, allowing me to go out and breathe, and more often, I can only watch the light pouring down in the middle of the wooden fence and spend the day like this.
I don't know how long I sat there, the light slowly dimmed in front of me.
It's another day.
.
I was awakened by a strange noise.
I opened my eyes and found that I slept on the table and slept all night again, and my arm pillow was tingling painfully, but I had no time to think about it, and heard that the door outside the courtyard was pushed open.
There was a very light footstep, and slowly came in.
Not the aunts and maids, they would scold every time they came, and when others came here, it would not be such a footstep, that footstep, I am too familiar.
The sound of this footstep seemed very light and careful, as if exploring something unknown, every step was taken so carefully, step by step over the gate of the courtyard, stepped on the dead leaves in the courtyard, and went up the steps And finally stopped at the door of the house.
"what?"
The comer made a voice of doubt. This voice was soft and tender, and strange, with a surprised emotion, as if never knew that there would be such a place in the palace.
After being quiet for a while, a small hand passed through the gap between the fences, and gently opened the cover door.
I sat at the table, slowly watching the door pushed open, and the morning sun shone into this dark room. I narrowed my eyes slightly, and a strange figure appeared in my sight, standing Outside the door, a pair of clear eyes widened, looking at me.
