199 Chapter 172-house haunted (1)
“???”
Xu Qi ‘an looked at her blankly for a long time, then gave her a thumbs up.”Those who recognize food are wise men.”
Everyone had dreams. Xu lingying had found his dream at a young age.There’s nothing in this world that can’t be eaten. It’s only whether I want to eat it or not.
For the sake of delicious food, he could use himself as bait … This determination and perseverance, in a sense, was a genius.
then you should continue to work hard. When you manage to trick someone, I’ll make something delicious for you. Xu Qi ‘an patted her head.
“En!” Xu lingying pecked her head in fear and yearning.
Before dusk, they booked a private room in a restaurant not far from the new house. The family ate in the restaurant and was extremely satisfied. Although the taste was not as good as the guiyue restaurant, it was cheap and close, so they could eat in the restaurant more often in the future.
Xu Qi ‘an was lying in the spacious and comfortable new house. Looking at the beams above her head, she suddenly remembered something.
She didn’t seem to have written to Erlang about moving?
“Forget it, I don’t need to worry about this. Go to sleep.”
…..
In the East Room.
After her aunt coaxed Xu lingying to sleep, she returned to the bed and looked at her husband, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. She suddenly felt a little worried.
“Old master, when ningyan gets married in the future, will he fight with me for the power of the housekeeper? Will we be moved to the west room?
“I heard that the daughter-in-law is very vicious, always thinking of ways to fight the mother-in-law.”
The aunt was happy. When she married second uncle, the two masters of the Xu family had long passed away, and she had never been bullied by her evil mother-in-law.
But even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen a pig run. In particular, Xu Qi ‘an had bought the house, so she was not a legitimate’ mother-in-law’.
Xu Pingzhi opened his eyes and thought for a moment. with your temper and character, you won’t be able to win.
“Hmph!” The aunt was speechless and snorted.
“Maybe ningyan will marry a stupid wife in the future,” Xu Pingzhi comforted her.
Hearing this, the aunt felt that it made sense and secretly prayed that her nephew would marry a stupid wife in the future. This way, she could bully others.
“By the way, I haven’t written a letter to Erlang yet. We’ve moved to the new house, but he doesn’t know about it yet. He won’t be able to find us when he goes to the outer city.” His aunt was worried about her son.
“You don’t have to worry about this, you’re illiterate.” Xu Pingzhi, who was also illiterate, said, ”
“Ningyan will write it.”
….
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Qi ‘an’s life was very peaceful. Every day, he would patrol the streets, cultivate, and find time to go to the noble spirit building to interact with Wei Yuan.
Because of the fall of the Minister of Works, the fighting between the various parties had cooled down a lot. For the time being, no party targeted the night watchman.
That night, when Xu Qi ‘an returned home, he found that his second uncle was not there.
“I’m on a night patrol today.” His aunt replied.
It was also possible that he had gone to the Imperial Academy … Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.
His second uncle was a Baihu of the Royal saber guards. Sometimes he patrolled the streets during the day, and sometimes at night. His work mechanism was the same as that of a night watchman. If Xu Qi ‘an was involved in so many cases, he would have a lot of work to do.
In the past, Xu Qi ‘an had trusted his second uncle like his aunt, but ever since their ” chance encounter ” at the Imperial Academy’s workshop and the operation of using orange peels to remove the perfume, Xu Qi’ an understood.
A man’s mouth was a ghost that lied.
I don’t seem to have the right to ridicule second uncle … Xu Qi ‘an lowered his head and ate.
At night, Xu Qi ‘an was suddenly woken up by a scream. He opened his eyes, turned over, and sat up. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the black gold long knife leaning against the bed.
When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw lingyue’s maidservant sitting on the ground in a daze. The candlestick had fallen to the ground, and her face was pale. She pointed in the direction of the well and trembled, unable to speak.
“What did you see?” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.
The door behind him opened, and Xu lingyue came out with a coat on to check on the situation.
In the East Room, the candlelight in her aunt’s room also lit up. She followed the sound and went out with Lu er.
“What’s wrong?” His aunt frowned.
After the number of people increased, the fear in the servant girl’s heart weakened a lot. She pointed to the well and said in a trembling voice, “”Well, there’s a head in the well.”
A few shrieks rang out at the same time.
Xu lingyue’s face turned pale. She hid behind Xu Qi ‘an and grabbed his sleeve tightly. His aunt also leaned over in fear.
“You, didn’t you say …” Xi Jue’s eyes widened in fear.
She didn’t say that she had already dispelled the ghost. She couldn’t let the servants in the residence know about this.
There’s a head in the well? Xu Qi ‘an gripped his black and gold long knife tightly and pressed his hand down, signaling his aunt and sister not to panic. He slowly approached the well.
The vengeful spirits in the well had indeed been eliminated, and the well used to keep ghosts at the thieves ‘lair had also been purified. Logically speaking, it was impossible for such things as vengeful spirits to appear again.
Could it be … Xu Qi ‘an strode over to the back of the well and saw the little boy sitting by the well, looking drowsy.
“Big pot …”
The little boy mumbled as he rubbed his eyes after being woken up by Xu Qi ‘an’s scabbard.
“What are you doing here?” Xu Qian said, ” as expected.
“I’m hungry, so I came out to find something to eat.” The little boy looked at the well and said with a look of admiration,”It’s really good at hiding. Children don’t even come out when they’re at their doorstep.”
Xu Qi ‘an guessed that the head that the maidservant saw was Xu lingying, who was lying on the well and looking around. He had a rare feeling of grievance that he could not express.
“Big brother will get the kitchen to bring you some pastries.” Xu Qi ‘an picked her up and walked back.
“The sound of the bell?” The aunt was shocked, and then she raised her eyebrows. you damn child, sneaking out in the middle of the night to scare people …
Only then did she realize that Ling Ying was not in the room.
Xu Qi ‘an interrupted her aunt angrily, “”She’s just hungry.”
Even though she had eaten three bowls of rice for dinner, she was still hungry.
The aunt did not have much confidence now. She snorted, put her hands on her waist, and glared at kaziland with her big eyes, she glanced at the young girl.
Xu Qi ‘an comforted his sister, aunt, and a few servant girls and coaxed them to sleep. He went to the kitchen to get some cakes to feed Xu lingying.
The little boy didn’t need to be coaxed. He fell asleep while eating.
Xu Qi ‘an returned her to Lu’ e and went back to her room to sleep. In her daze, she heard someone knocking on the door.
“Big brother …” Xu lingyue’s clear and melodious voice came from outside the door.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Qi ‘an didn’t open the door. It was late at night, and as an older brother, he couldn’t open the door for his younger sister. It was not appropriate.
“I, I can’t sleep. I’m scared …” Xu lingyue paused and added,”mother can’t sleep either. When Lu ‘e asked, mother told her about the haunted house.” As they spoke, the two of them became afraid.
“Father isn’t at home, so they don’t dare to sleep.”
What does it have to do with me that they don’t dare to sleep? everyone sat down and played Mahjong all night? Xu Qi ‘an recalled how he had moved with steps and felt the same way, so he said patiently, ”
“Don’t be afraid. There are no ghosts in the house.”
Xu lingyue didn’t reply. She hesitated for a few seconds. big brother, can you accompany us? ”
