Chapter 752: Scary (Updated on October 4th)
Of course not.
Manbao didn't regret beating Bai Ning, and she wasn't even afraid. But seeing that her fourth brother was so worried that he was about to pull his hair out, she thought carefully about what medicinal herbs could make them look so miserable.
Manbao searched and searched in his limited knowledge, and finally shook his head and said, "No."
Zhou Silang asked with a bitter face: "What should we do then?"
Bai Shan also came out after applying the medicine. After thinking for a while, he said, "Since I can't disguise my external appearance, why not pretend to have internal injuries?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his stomach and said, "Ouch, I was kicked and injured internally. My stomach is bleeding."
Manbao watched for a while, then covered his head and said, "I have a headache. I hit my head and I feel dizzy."
Shirojiro:......
He raised his paw and pressed his chest, then asked Manbao, "Then I feel bad?"
Manbao: "Don't feel bad, the heart is on the left, you pressed the wrong one."
Bai Erlang moved his hand to his left chest and cried out, "Ahhh," "My heart hurts."
A bystander in the yard: ...
Mr. Zhuang, who had watched the entire process from the study doorway, rubbed his head with a headache. He moved a chair out to the courtyard and asked them curiously, "Why did you fight with Bai Ning? You're bullying the weak with your numbers."
Although his three disciples are relatively smart, they still abide by the rules sometimes. For example, they will not bully the weak with their numbers against ordinary enemies, and can basically maintain the rules of justice.
If he remembered correctly, the second young master of the Bai family next door seemed to be about the same age as the three children. Shouldn't this situation be one-on-one?
It's three to one?
Zhou Silang was also curious.
Manbao lowered his voice and said, "Sir, Fourth Brother, do you remember the crying sounds coming from our house at night a few days ago?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "I don't remember."
Zhou Silang said, "I remember!"
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but look at him.
Zhou Silang said, "Sir, it's not here, it's at the Xiao family's house across the street from us. Is he the one behind this? I told you, the Xiao family is just in jail, no one's dead, how could there be a ghost? It's made me hide back here for the past two days."
Mr. Zhuang: "...So you moved back here these days because the place across the street is haunted."
Zhou Silang smiled embarrassedly at Mr. Zhuang.
Ever since Zhou Silang rented the yard of the Xiao family across the street, Datou and Ertou would occasionally use their own ox cart to deliver medicinal herbs, vegetables and the like to the family.
Zhou Liulang has basically moved out of Zhiweiguan and now lives across the street.
Even Zhou Lijun moved there, and the Zhou family basically lived and ate there, so they didn't have to pay for living expenses here.
As a result, for some unknown reason, these past two days, not only did Zhou Silang and Zhou Lijun move back in, but even Zhou Liulang would go straight into Zhou Silang's room and share a bed with him when he came home from work at night.
Since Datou and Ertou were not there, the Xiao family's house opposite suddenly became empty.
Mr. Zhuang thought it was because their quilts were not cold enough, but now he heard...
Mr. Zhuang asked, "What's the matter with the ghost?"
"It's not a ghost!" Manbao said somewhat disappointedly, "We checked and found out that it was a little girl from the Bai Mansion crying..."
When they first heard their fourth and sixth brothers say that the Xiao family was haunted again, Manbao and the others got excited.
But because of previous incidents, they all felt that it was not a ghost, but someone was deliberately pretending to be a ghost crying.
But the crying sound was really real, and it didn't seem like it was meant to scare people. Moreover, they looked carefully and found that the person was not crying in the alley, but in the Bai Mansion across the wall. At that time, even Manbao was a little suspicious and thought it was really haunted.
So, on a dark and windy night, which wasn't really that dark, just when it was getting dark, they had just finished their dinner and were coming back from a walk...
Basically, the crying sound from the other side started at this moment.
Under Daji's gaze, Manbao and the others jumped onto the wall together, then lit a red lantern and jumped down from the wall, scaring the little girl who was hiding and crying by the wall into fainting.
Fortunately, Manbao was quick and knew first aid, so the person was not scared to death.
But the little girl was also very scared when she woke up. When she saw Manbao, she immediately burst into tears and said that she didn't mean to hurt her...
Manbao was completely confused, thinking that the little girl had recognized the wrong person. However, she held Manbao's hand tightly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried, "Miss Zhou, I really didn't mean it. I have been punished. Please let me go..."
Manbao looked at her carefully, and after a while he said "Huh?" and said, "You are the little girl who led me on the way but got lost."
The little girl raised her head and looked at Manbao with snot and tears on her face.
Bai Shan frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Did she get lost on purpose to harm you?"
The little girl then realized that there were other people around. She looked up tremblingly and saw Bai Shan and Bai Erlang standing beside her. Only then did she react belatedly.
Yes, Miss Zhou is not dead. She left alive and well without suffering any injustice. How could she turn into a ghost and come looking for her?
But under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, the little girl still trembled, because she seemed to have said something terrible just now.
Bai Shan stepped forward and, along with Man Bao and Bai Er Lang, surrounded the little girl who had fallen to the ground. The little girl couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears, shouting, "Miss Zhou, please forgive me. I was just following the Second Young Master's orders. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Bai Ning? How does he want you to harm Manbao?"
The little girl hiccuped as she cried. "Well, it's nothing. It was just that on the day of the Winter Solstice Feast, they asked me to lead Miss Zhou to the most secluded part of the garden, where there were many trees and it was dark and spooky. Then they said something to scare Miss Zhou and make her look bad."
Bai Erlang scratched his head and said, "Are you hiding here crying because you didn't harm Manbao?"
The little girl was so scared that she kept shaking her head, "No, no."
How could she be so bad as to cry over something like this?
She explained, "I didn't expect Miss Zhou to know the way. She found her way to the lotus pond before she even reached the destination." The little girl continued, "The second young master was very angry when he came back from outside the next day. He smashed the cup and said it was me who broke it. He transferred me to the garden to do menial work. I had to do a lot of things every day, and when I came back, the food was all eaten up. I was so hungry and felt wronged, so I found a place where no one was around to cry..."
How could she have known that even after finding such a secluded place, she would still be discovered by someone, and it was Zhou Man who discovered her.
The little girl didn't dare cry loudly and could only sob quietly.
