The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 64 The storm is coming
  Li Shiyi's door was just opened now. I originally thought that she was too young to stay in bed, but when she opened the door, it seemed like she hadn't slept all night.

Wen Jiu was close, and he quickly stood up and walked over: "Why does your face look so bad? But you didn't sleep well yesterday?"

"Did you...did you hear a cat meowing yesterday? It was like the sound of a newborn child crying..."

Li Shiyi seemed a little unsure. She called the maid several times in the middle of the night, but she kept saying she didn't hear her.
  "Cat meowing?" Wen Jiu frowned in confusion. She slept late last night and had just changed places. She didn't sleep too deeply, but she didn't hear the cat meowing.

"Perhaps your room is against the back hill. The two princesses went back to the palace last night and will officially move in today. Miss Wen, did you hear that?"

Zhao Yan was also curious, how could there be a cat meowing at night if she didn't see a cat during the day.

Wen Jiu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Yesterday I saw a cat walking in the woods behind me, but I was a little tired from copying last night and fell asleep a little deeper, so I didn't hear the cat meowing."

No one heard the cat meow, except Li Shiyi.

The maid behind her hurriedly came out and explained: "My girl has always been afraid of cats. She saw the cat when she just moved in yesterday. She was so frightened that it took her a long time to recover. I'm afraid she was frightened during the day and had some auditory hallucinations at night. "

Everyone's expressions softened a little. It turned out to be auditory hallucinations.

In fact, it is normal to have cats. There are often wild cats walking around in the back mountains, so just ignore them.

"I once read in some miscellaneous books that if you hear these sounds in the middle of the night, you must not go out... Some people will use cat meows to trick people out..." Wen Jiu saw everyone holding their breath and looking at her intently, so she pretended to be mysterious. He said: "Then kill people and steal wealth!"

"what…"

"real or fake…"

"What should I do? I want to go home... I miss my parents..." Li Shiyi was almost scared to tears.

...

"Girl..." Zisu whispered in disgust from the side: "You will be scolded..."

"Okay, okay." Wen Jiu showed a gentle smile and patted Li Shiyi's shoulder gently: "I'm scaring you. You can listen again tonight to see if there are any more cats meowing. If so, come and wake me up. , let me help you listen together."

"Yes." Li Shiyi felt very relieved when she saw Wen Jiu's smile. Even though the face of the person in front of her was not much better than hers, she still nodded happily.

Soon everyone packed up and headed towards the school. Wen Jiu heard a few crows before leaving the room.

She subconsciously looked out the window. There were no crows in the forest, only a few ordinary black cats.
  "Girl, you're almost late." Zi Su reminded her standing outside the door. The master is teaching today, and the girl can't be late again.

Wen Jiu turned around and walked towards the door. The black cats in the forest suddenly dispersed.
  After spending two nights in peace, the two princesses have also lived in for two days. Everyone has become much more at peace, especially Liu Yue, who no longer dares to provoke at will.

But Li Shiyi's complexion became worse day by day. She dozed off in school every day and was punished a lot.

Wen Jiu paid attention, but he really didn't hear the cat meowing she mentioned.

She thought that after practicing hard on Qingyun Mountain for so many years, her five senses and six senses were stronger than many people's, but even so, she didn't hear a sound.

The night is dim and the lights are flickering.

After Wen Jiu finished washing, he sat in front of the window and looked at the dark mountains behind, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Why do I always feel like something is not quite right?
  She took off the ghost hunting order from her waist, held it in front of the candlelight and shook it, but nothing happened.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Wen Jiu put away the jade pendant in his hand and sat in front of the desk.

"Sister Wen, I always feel that there is something strange in my room. The cat seems to be barking under my bed. Can I come to sleep with you tonight?" Li Shiyi is so scared that she has not dared to sleep in the past few days. ,
  "Barking under your bed?" Wen Jiu looked at her in disbelief, "Have you ever had someone check it?"

"I asked the grandma in charge to check, but everything in the room is normal." The maid followed behind and looked at her girl worriedly.

"Don't worry tonight, the cat has been caught." As soon as he said that, the steward happened to be standing at the door of Wen Jiu's room.

"But is it true?" Li Shiyi turned her head to look at her in surprise, "Has she really been arrested?"

"Yes, girl, someone just saw the cat walking around here, so they caught it first. Girl, you can rest at night, but if you still hear it, ask someone to check the area tomorrow."

"Yes, girl." Zisu nodded and agreed, and many people in the courtyard heard it just now. "It is said to be a black cat, and the sound it makes is exactly the same as the cry you said you heard every night."

It must not have been this cat meowing. If it was on the roof, Li Shiyi was the only one who heard it. I don’t know which cat was captured and used as a scapegoat.

"Sister Wen, I'm going back first, and you should have a good rest."

Li Shiyi swept away the gloom in his eyes and left Wen Jiu's room gently and deftly with his maid.

Wen Jiu smiled unconsciously, she was such an innocent little girl.

But if he knew that tonight's look would be his last, Wen Jiu would never let Li Shiyi leave the room.

The rain was noisy outside. It was rare to see such heavy rain in winter.

It rained all night.

Wen Jiu fell into a coma last night as if he had been drugged, and he still felt like he had a splitting headache when he woke up this morning.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Wen Jiu looked at the door with doubtful eyes. Could he be late?

"Zisu, Zisu?"

Wen Jiu's voice was dry and hoarse, probably because he slept too deeply.

"Girl!" Zisu rushed in hurriedly, her eyes red and her face full of panic.

"What happened outside?" Wen Jiu asked in a hoarse voice.

"Miss Li, Miss Li. She's gone." Zi Su cried intermittently. Why was the person who was standing in front of her last night gone?
  "What's gone? What does it mean gone?" Wen Jiu's pupils shrank sharply, he opened the quilt and rushed to Zi Su, not even bothering to put on his shoes.

"Last night. Oh no, it was this morning. A servant passed by this morning and found that Miss Li had died. She was dragged to the window and seemed to be dragged to the back mountain!"

Zi Su pointed tremblingly at the window toward the back mountain, her voice trembling.

"What?" Wen Jiu looked at the window and stood there blankly, with no color on his face.

"Girl, please put your clothes on first. Master Chen is already here. I am afraid he will ask you one by one. Please freshen up quickly."

Only then did Zisu come to his senses, and saw his girl standing in the room disheveled, with a face full of grief.

"How could this be?"

Wen Jiu's mind was filled with images of spending time with her these past few days.

He helped me when we first met, and came to him with blood-tonifying cakes when we met again, until last night she stood in the room looking for her to sleep with a look of grievance on her face.
