Chapter 330: There is another woman outside
"I sent over two new mattresses. What's the matter, miss?"
Wen Yan frowned and didn't say much for a while.
Until Ying Zhilin came back, Wen Yan consulted him: "I just suddenly thought of my mute sister's mother-in-law, and I felt very uneasy.
There's a big storm tonight, and I want to go and take a look."
The business of "Qingfeng Xiaolou" was good, and the rich young ladies in the capital city really liked the nail polish and flower ornaments painted by Yamei.
It just so happened that the mute girl also wanted to earn more money, so she stayed in the store with Xianglian, who also wanted to make money, and did not come back.
Wen Yan paid them double wages.
Mute sister worked hard to earn money for her in the capital. If she couldn't even take care of Mute sister's mother-in-law, it would be too heartbreaking.
"It's snowing so hard, I'll go for you."
"No, I won't feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes. I'd better go by myself." Wen Yan saw Ying Zhilin's disapproval and quickly changed the subject, "I can go with you."
Ying Zhilin still disagreed.
Wen Yan suddenly grabbed his hand: "Ying Zhilin, just promise me. Let's go together, okay?"
Wen Yan's hands were warm and soft.
Ying Zhilin felt that what was holding him was not a hand, but a fluffy cat's tail, which made him feel itchy.
There was no way she could say no, so she obediently let Wen Yan take her hand and go back to the house to change clothes.
After Wen Yan finished speaking, she took Ying Zhilin's hand and went back to the house to change clothes.
Wear thick, warm clothing and waterproof leather boots.
Wen Yan went to the kitchen and picked out a large sack of charcoal, and also picked out some meat, vegetables, and rice.
After thinking about it, she went back and carried a few bags of charcoal.
There are several elderly people living alone in the village, so you might as well give them some as well.
After packing up their things, the two of them went out.
**
Capital city.
Qingfeng Small Building.
The mute girl was busy all day, and after the guests left, she washed up and rested early.
After falling asleep, she drifted into a dream.
In a dream.
She and her grandmother are still in Songshan Village.
Although she and her grandmother received help from the clan leader, their lives were still very difficult.
It was a warm winter that year, but she still prepared a lot of firewood as usual.
New Year's Eve was approaching, and she was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.
After waking up, she found that there was a snowstorm outside, and the roof, which had just been repaired at the end of the year, was shaking in the thick snow.
Both she and her grandmother's hands and feet were numb from the cold, but the house was no longer safe.
She ran away with her grandmother on her back, but she was a step too slow.
The beam fell down and the grandmother protected her with her body.
My grandmother immediately vomited blood and soon lost consciousness.
She could clearly feel her grandmother on her back becoming colder and stiffer.
"Ah——" the mute girl screamed and sat up.
Xianglian, who shared the room with her, woke up in shock: "Mute sister? What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? Nightmares are always the opposite of what they used to be. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, your sister-in-law is here for you."
The mute girl was making "ahhh" gestures, but Xianglian couldn't understand anything.
The mute girl pushed her away and rushed to the window.
She opened the window and looked at the heavy snow falling outside, and her face instantly lost color.
This kind of heavy snow is exactly the same as in the dream.
Is it possible that everything in the dream will come true?
What about grandmother?
Would Grandma...
She trembled all over, pushed Xianglian away, and ran out without even having time to put on her clothes or boots.
"Mute sister, we can't go back now. The city gates are closed, and with such heavy snow, we can't tell the direction or the road at all."
Xianglian chased after her and hugged her, but when she was about to lose control, Xianglian grabbed the door bolt and knocked her unconscious.
**
Mute girl and her grandmother lived at the other end of the village, and they had to cross the entire village to get to Mute girl's house.
The wind and snow made the clothes rustle, and when they scratched the skin, it felt like a knife cutting and tearing.
Ying Zhilin lifted his cloak and covered her in his arms.
Not to mention, Ying Zhilin's chest was surprisingly warm and solid.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which made a crunching sound when you stepped on it.
It wasn't long before the two of them entered the village.
Wen Yan vaguely heard a faint "bang" in the wind and snow.
"Listen." Wen Yan grabbed Ying Zhilin's sleeve and reminded him.
The two stopped.
The crunching sound of stepping on the snow stopped instantly.
Yingzhi Lin pricked up his ears to listen.
The "bang bang" sound in the wind and snow was more obvious, but faint, accompanied by the whistling wind, like the eerie howling of ghosts and wolves.
Ying Zhilin hugged her tighter and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Wen Yan poked her head out from his collar and walked towards the direction of the voice: "Oh my god, that sound is so scary, could it be the Black and White Impermanence coming out to take souls away? This is too scary."
If Ying Zhilin lowered his eyes, he could see the furry head turning around on his chest.
She continued to shrink into his arms.
The small, soft body pressed against his.
Ying Zhilin's chest felt like it was about to burst out of his chest in the next second.
Ying Zhilin grabbed her waist and said, "Don't move. Be careful of leaks."
Wen Yan calmed down.
Ying Zhilin knocked her on the head and said, "Don't move. Those should be Brother Qingshan from the clan leader's family."
"What are they doing out here in the middle of the night?"
“We went door to door to remind everyone to be safe.
With such a heavy snowstorm, I was afraid the villagers were sleeping too soundly and wouldn’t be able to find out.
The accumulated snow could collapse the roof, which could easily cause death."
As the two were talking, the sound of the gong was getting closer.
Wen Yan and the others waited for them to come over and discuss the situation with each other.
The distance was close enough that they could see each other's figures.
There were four of them.
Wen Yan was about to call them.
Suddenly, a scream came from the other side: "Ah... ghost!"
"Ah... there are two more heads!"
"Mom! I want to go home!"
The four people opposite were screaming and jumping up and down, looking so panicked, as if they had really seen a ghost.
"What's wrong with them? Do you want to go over and take a look?" Wen Yan was scared by them.
"Okay." Ying Zhilin took her in his arms and went over.
The four of them huddled together in fear: "Ghost... a ghost is coming towards us, wow... Brother Qingshan, what should we do..."
Wen Yan tilted her head and looked at Ying Zhilin, "The ghosts they are talking about seem to be us!"
"Brother Qingshan..." Ying Zhilin shouted.
Only then did the people who were huddled together recognize them.
"Oh, it's Ying Zhilin! I was so scared. But what are you doing hanging around outside in the middle of the night?"
The wind was so strong that they had to shout to talk.
Ying Zhilin explained his purpose and handed the remaining charcoal to them: "Please take these over."
After saying that, Ying Zhilin helped Wen Yan leave.
Qingshan and the others looked at each other in confusion: "Is there someone hidden in Zhilin's arms?"
"Oh my god, Zhilin is not meeting a woman outside, is he?"
"Although it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but they've been married for less than a year and Zhilin is already having another woman outside. This isn't good!"
“Yes, Wen Yan is still so nice.
Should we tell Wen Yan about this? "
Several people looked conflicted, not knowing whether to stand on the side of reason or on the side of their relatives.
Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin soon arrived at the door of the mute girl's house.
I saw the thatched house of the mute girl's family swaying in the howling north wind, as if it would collapse at any time.
