Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 228 The Nightmare

It was only later that Wan Wan understood that Yan Shan knew that her husband and wife knew the second young master of the Xie family, and that Wan Wan also helped Xie's farm with work, which was also a contract signed with the second young master. After hearing Xie Xian's words, Yan Shan also agreed I don't know whether this is Xie Xian's idea or Xie Yi's idea. After inquiring for a while, I learned that Xie Yi was a very talkative person when he came to the mine. He had no choice but to beg Wan Wan and Bai Shou , intercede with Xie Yi.

If it was really Xie Yi's idea, he hoped that Xie Yi could give their family a fair explanation in the face of Wanwan and Baishou.

If it was Xie Xian's idea, he hoped that Xie Yi would intervene in this matter.

It's not a big thing, it's not a small thing.

Not to mention that Xie Xian will definitely have more prejudice against Baishou and Wanwan if he knows this.And they were not sure how Xie Yi would deal with this matter when he found out.And more importantly, if they helped Yan Shan this time, wouldn't everyone come to their house for help if there was anything going on in the mine?
Seeing that the two were hesitant, Yan Shan stood up at once, then knelt down straight to the two, and said with tears in his eyes: "Please help me, this is also an explanation to my sister-in-law and mother."

Baishou looked at Wanwan, who nodded.It's all like this, it seems a bit unreasonable for them not to help, but it's okay to just help spread the word.

Baishou helped Yan Shan up: "Brother Yan, you get up first. How about this, we can't guarantee this, and now the second young master is not here, so I will go to the market to find shopkeeper Yu another day, and ask him to write to ask the second Young master, let me help you bring the news, we have no control over what happens."

"Hey, it's okay, thank you so much." Yan Shan wiped the corners of his eyes, nodded straightly, and then hesitated: "This shopkeeper..."

"Oh, don't worry about that, shopkeeper Yu has been following the second young master, he is a good person."

The implication is that it is not like some people in the mine.

Yan Shan nodded reassuringly, as long as Wanwan and Baishou talk, I believe the Second Young Master will definitely ask.No matter what, there must be an answer!

Although he promised to help Yan Shan, Baishou asked him not to publicize it, and Yan Shan agreed.Coming out of Wanwan's house, many people saw Yan Shan go to Wanwan's house on the way, and then some people came to inquire about the news.

Baishou said impatiently: "The Yan family is really pitiful. A woman is widowed at such a young age... She wants to ask me for help..." Then she laughed at herself: "I can't help, I can't help you now. It's the clay bodhisattva crossing the river."

The person who asked nodded, who doesn't know that the third young master is not pleasing to the eyes when he reads Baishi.

Baishou was telling the truth, they couldn't help much at all, they just helped pass a message.Ever since Baishou was resigned from the position of vice-captain by Xie Xian, some people who used to flatter him now also ignore him, there are good and bad, and some people who were a little distant from him before suddenly became warm to him .There are also those who have a good relationship and care more about him.

After Baishou went to work in the afternoon, Wanwan took the child to take a nap. After getting up, he took the child to Mai Cao's house. The courtyard door was closed. After knocking on the door for a long time, he heard footsteps coming from inside. , the voice stopped behind the door but there was no movement, Wan Wan said in a timely manner: "Wheatgrass, it's me!"

Then the door opened at once, Mai Cao looked at Wan Wan with lights shining in her eyes, she hurriedly invited Wan Wan to enter the room.

Wanwan felt sorry for Mai Cao's increasingly thin face, she lost even more weight after not seeing her for a few days.

In the main room there is a memorial tablet for Xiangxiu, and incense is burning in the incense altar.In the past, Xiangxiu was often away from home, and there was only wheat straw in the house, but it is completely different from now. Now this home feels deserted and desolate from the bottom of my heart for no reason.

For some unknown reason, a sense of desolation rose in Wan Wan's heart.Maybe it's sympathy for wheatgrass.

Sitting down on the stool, Wan Wan carefully looked at the wheat straw. Apart from getting thinner, she also had blue shadows under her eyes, making her look even more haggard. Go, but you still have to take care of yourself."

Wheatgrass eyes turned red and she nodded.

Wan Wan gently embraced her shoulder, and said softly: "We are so close, come and sit when you are free."

Wheatgrass lowered her head.

"If you need help, just come and tell me, you know? It's getting colder, save some charcoal when you cook every day, and make a brazier when it's cold..." Wan Wan told her carefully.

Wheatgrass heard the tears falling straight down, and finally she looked up at Wanwan, decided to tell her what was in her heart, and then gestured with her hands.

After Wanwan understood what she meant, he was startled: "Is there every night?"

Wheatgrass gestured a few more times.

Wan Wan frowned: "It's just these few days? What kind of sound, where is it? In the yard or outside?"

The expression on Mai Cao's face was a little strange and frightening: there was a strange sound, outside, and the courtyard door was fine every morning.

Wan Wan couldn't help thinking.

Wheatgrass told her that in the past few days and nights she would always hear the sound of rubbing outside, not too long, just for a while, and then it disappeared again, she was timid and did not dare to get up to check, but every morning when she got up, the yard door was closed tightly , the door of the main room was also bolted, but the sound was a bit intrusive.There was no such strange sound before.

When he came to this world, he saw a lot of strange things, and the first sentence that popped up in Wan Wan's mind was: Could it be Xiangxiu's soul?
Immediately denied this absurd idea.

Then he told Mai Cao: "If there is anything unusual at night, remember, the first time..." Speaking of this, Wan Wan choked, Mai Cao is a mute, how can he call someone?Immediately changed his words: "You close the courtyard door. If there is any abnormality, just take a stick and knock hard in the room. The louder the sound, the better. It is best to attract the attention of the neighbors. I will go to Brother Dashi's house to talk about it later. , let them pay more attention to this side at night."

Wheatgrass nodded gratefully.

After coming out of Mai Cao's house, Wanwan came to Li Dashi's house. Li Dashi happened to be there, and Wan Wan told him about Mai Cao: "...I have to trouble Brother Dashi to wake you up at night. Mai Cao is a girl, and I'm afraid of her thoughts." Impure people!"

Li Dashi patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will pay more attention to their house at night."

Thinking that the top seven in Xiangxiu will be here soon, the top seven in the country are still a little more disciplined, so they went to Yang Yizhi's house again, and it happened that both Yang Yizhi and Grandma Shitou were there.

"...I don't understand this either. You elders know a lot. Tomorrow is Xiangxiu's first seven. I'm afraid I will have to ask Grandma Shito to tell Mai Cao what to prepare and what not to do?"

Grandma Shitou looked at Wanwan and laughed: "I knew you were a good girl. Everyone in this village is pitying wheat grass every day. When something happens, you are the only one who can think about it. Don't worry, Shitou was his friend yesterday. Grandpa is still telling me about this, I will go to Mai Cao's house in a while, and I will go to help her tomorrow afternoon."

"Hey, then please trouble Grandma Shitou."

"Look at what you said, it's all from the same village."

After saying goodbye to Grandma Shitou, Wanwan went home.When I came out of Shitou's house, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and the sky that was still bright just now was covered with thick clouds.The wind blows the trees on the side of the road whirring!Not long after I got home, there was a crackling sound from the roof, and it started to rain heavily.

Wanwan sat under the eaves and looked out of the courtyard door, and saw someone running past the door with their heads in their arms from time to time, yelling: "Wow, it's raining so hard!"

She took out a few potatoes from the lentils in the bathroom, took a knife and peeled them, and was going to fry the shredded potatoes at night, until she peeled and cut them, and the afterlife did not come back. It's raining.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the next life slowly walking in from the outside, his hair and clothes were completely soaked and stuck to his body, and a stray hair stuck to his forehead.
Wan Wan hurriedly took a dry handkerchief to wipe his hair, and then blamed: "Why are you outside in the rain? It's raining and you don't know where to hide?"

Laisheng flicked her wet sleeves, looked very contented, looked at her and laughed, "It's so cool in the rain!"

Wanwan couldn't help giving him a blank look, threw the handkerchief to him, and went into the kitchen to cook.

After she cooked the meal and set it up, the next life was playing with the child in the house. Seeing that he had changed into a new suit and his hair was still a little wet, he took the child and said, "Wipe the hair."

Laisheng smiled slightly: "It's been wiped off, it's okay, it will be done in a while."

Wan Wan couldn't help turning his head to look outside, it was already dark, he still said: "Be careful not to catch the wind and cold."

"Am I that weak?"

The two entered the kitchen one after the other, walked into the kitchen, and after dinner was cleaned up, Wanwan took the child to bed, and went back to the house to rest in the next life.

When Baishou came back, she had already woken up, and she didn't know what time it was, only that the rain outside had stopped.

It was getting cold, and the two of them didn't let the child sleep in the small bed, but directly hugged the big bed next to the adult, which was also warmer.The child sleeps in the middle, two people on one side.After tucking the quilt up for the child, and checking to see if the quilt was covered, Baishou lay down.

After the heavy rain, the temperature dropped sharply at night, and those who worked at the coal pile had to take another coat to wear.

Mai Cao opened her eyes wide, hugged the quilt and huddled in the corner of the wall. She was already asleep, but was suddenly awakened by a noise outside. She immediately sat up like a frightened bird and stared out of the window. About a quarter of an hour later, her eyelids were about to slam When they were together, there was another sound from outside the eaves, like the sound of someone stepping on a branch.

Wheatgrass was so frightened that she hugged her shoulders and kept shaking, her eyes filled with panic. For the past few days, she would hear strange sounds every night, but they were all outside. Today, there was a noise in the yard, and Wheatgrass almost screamed out, , she is a mute, and she opens and closes her mouth silently!

However, after a while, there was no movement outside again, just when Mai Cao thought she had heard wrong, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and a black shadow flashed outside the window.Wheat Grass Heart raised her throat, her trembling hands tightly grasped the wooden stick that had been prepared by the bed.
