Chapter 279 Really Crazy or Fake Crazy?

Whenever there is heavy rain and snow, Pei Xiaoran can stay at home to rest instead of going to the camp.

This was an order from Emperor Chixuan, firstly because she was afraid that the high-intensity training would exhaust her, and secondly because she was afraid that something might happen to her on the way to Daying.

It just so happens that Pei Xiaoran doesn't like to go out when the weather is bad. She prefers to stay indoors, lie by the window, eat snacks, and enjoy the rain, not to mention how comfortable it is.

At this time, Pei Xiaoran was lying on a rocking chair by the window, looking at the heavy rain pouring outside the propped up window, slowly tied a piece of watermelon with a bamboo stick and stuffed it into his mouth. Chilling on a rocking chair chatting casually.

Han Chan had never tried to lie down and enjoy the rain scene before. This feeling was both novel and comfortable, which made her whole body relax unconsciously.

There was a strong wind outside, and the branches of a few trees in the yard swayed, and the leaves rattled. Occasionally, a flash of lightning pierced through the darkness covered by heavy dark clouds, causing bursts of thunder.

Listening to the thunder, Han Chan couldn't help but feel nostalgic, and said softly:
"I was very afraid of thunder when I was a child. Whenever I heard thunder outside, I would run to find my mother, then throw myself into my mother's arms, hug her, and bury my head in her clothes. will feel less intimidated.”

After a pause, he continued:

"Later, my mother left, and when the thunder outside sounded again, I couldn't find her anywhere. I was terrified, so I ran to her room and cried loudly holding the quilt she had covered, but no matter how much I cried How bad it was, how sad my heart was, my mother still wouldn't come back, so gradually, I got used to being alone when thunder was thundering, and after that, I even got used to being afraid, and now, I have completely Don't be afraid anymore."

Pei Xiaoran paused for piercing the watermelon, and couldn't help but look sideways at Han Chan.

But she found that her elder sister Han Chan's eyes were calm, there was no fragility, let alone sadness, only the firmness and calmness after seeing it away.

After all, so what if you don't look away?

The deceased relatives will never come back and can no longer be relied on by her. She can only be forced to become strong and brave.

Pei Xiaoran felt pain in his heart when he heard it, and raised his hand to lightly rest on Han Chan's hand on the armrest, giving her silent comfort.

Han Chan smiled and said:
"I just heard the sound of thunder, and then I remembered this incident. It was just a momentary feeling. Sister Xiaoran doesn't have to worry about me, and birth, old age, illness and death are common things for people. It's just morning and night. One day I will If I go, won’t I be able to reunite with my mother in heaven? So, now, I’m not sad at all.”

Having said that, her hands were still frighteningly cold.

Pei Xiaoran has also lost close relatives, and more than one, and he has a deep understanding of this.

No matter how strong and brave you look, every time you think about it, you still feel pain like gouging out your heart, and even feel that every moment and every moment of life is suffering.

Pei Xiaoran suddenly stood up, walked to the window, closed the window with a 'snap', and pulled it hard, closing it tightly.

The roaring thunder still lingered in from outside, but it was much quieter than before.

Han Chan froze for a moment, sat up, and subconsciously called out:
"Xiaoran, you...?"

Pei Xiaoran turned around and looked at her with piercing eyes.

There was a candle burning in the room, and the candle light was hazy, but her eyes were brighter and warmer than the candle light.

Pei Xiaoran held his head high, patted his small chest vigorously, and said very seriously:

"Although my embrace is far from soft and firm as Sister Han Chan's mother, if Sister Han Chan needs it, I can always rely on Sister Han Chan."

Han Chan couldn't help but smile slightly, but her eyes were hot.

She felt that the luckiest thing in her life was probably meeting this little girl...

Just as she didn't know how to hide her gaffe, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then the door was knocked twice, and Nanny Pan's voice sounded outside the door, saying:

"Miss, Miss Lingyu is back."

Pei Xiaoran frowned slightly, then turned and walked outside.

Taking advantage of Pei Xiaoran's attention being diverted, Han Chan hurriedly lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, stood up and followed closely.

"Is her injury serious?"

Pei Xiaoran asked while opening the door, thinking that with the help of the old lady and Cheng's, even if Ling Yu hadn't died, she would have already lost a layer of skin, right?

Mother Pan had a slightly strange look on her face, and said:
"Miss will know after going to see it."

Pei Xiaoran gave her a suspicious look, then picked up an umbrella by the door, opened it, and walked towards Lingyu's room together with Nanny Pan.

After entering Ling Yu's room, it was pitch black, Nanny Pan hurried to the table to light a candle.

After the candle was lit, Pei Xiaoran was startled by the scene in front of him, and said:
"This is……"

Seeing that Ling Yu was thrown on the ground without mercy, her body was tied up, and her whole body was drenched by the rain. She was trembling at this moment, her face was pale, and her figure was even smaller than when she was taken away. Quite a lot.

Pei Xiaoran said:

"Untie her."

She doesn't have the habit of abusing others, and she believes that with this experience, Ling Yu will definitely be more honest in the future.

After hearing this, Mother Pan shook her head again and again, saying:

"Miss, I can't help it. The old servant heard that Ling Yu has gone crazy, so if he let go of her rashly, he might hurt someone."

"crazy?!"

Pei Xiaoran's brows were raised high, he couldn't help but walked forward, squatted down in front of Ling Yu, and looked at her face carefully.

Seeing that Ling Yu's eyes were dull, his eyes were loose, and his mouth kept opening and closing.

Pei Xiaoran moved his ear closer, and only when he got closer did he hear what Ling Yu had been muttering:

"...with heads...human heads...dead heads...dead heads...white...dead heads...heads..."

Pei Xiaoran was confused when he heard this, thinking where did the old lady and Cheng's put Ling Yu?Could it be put into a mass grave or a pile of dead people?
Raising his hand and waving in front of Ling Yu, Pei Xiaoran moved close to Ling Yu's ear and called:

"Sister Lingyu, sister Lingyu?"

Ling Yu didn't respond, and kept chanting words like human head.

Pei Xiaoran rolled his eyes, looked back, and saw that the door of the house had been closed by Han Chan who came in last, and there were only Nanny Pan, Han Chan and himself in the room.

Pei Xiaoran simply sat down cross-legged, looked into Ling Yu's eyes, and asked with a smile:

"Sister Lingyu, do you want to know where all the rewards in my treasury have gone?"

Ling Yu didn't respond, she didn't even move her eyeballs.

Pei Xiaoran continued:

"Actually, I stole them myself~ No, I shouldn't say 'stolen', after all, they belong to me. It should be said that I transported them away!"

This should be what Ling Yu was most concerned about, because it was because she couldn't find a reward that Ling Yu was taken away by the old lady and tortured in every way.

But Ling Yu still didn't respond.

Pei Xiaoran carefully observed her expression, and said:
"Sister Lingyu, you must also be very curious. How come the bowl of fish soup I sent to the old lady is not poisonous?"
