Chapter 108: A rather strange scene
The thing outside kept barking and barking, then burped. It seemed a little tired, so it rested for a while.
After resting for a while, he stretched out his hand and knocked on her door, calling out again and again: "Mother..."
"Mother..."
Perhaps he thought she was asleep, so calling her mother was useless. After a while, there was a shocking thunder outside.
Most people would probably wake up after hearing such loud thunder.
Then the next moment, the shrill and painful voice rang out again, "Mother!"
"Mother, I'm in so much pain, why don't you come out?"
"Mother, please save me, mother, please save me!"
"Mother..."
The cries of "A Niang" were so shrill, as if all the pain in the world was concentrated on this person.
It really was heartbreaking.
And Su Tan...
Su Tan said nothing, just kept his head down and wiped his sword.
"Mother!"
The voice seemed to carry a hint of anger, becoming even more shrill, and even changing its tune halfway through.
Su Tan remained silent, just lowered his head and wiped his sword.
Things outside: "..."
Finally, the things outside seemed to calm down and stopped calling "A Niang".
It just makes some noise frequently.
Suddenly there was the sound of a vase breaking.
Suddenly there was the sound of dripping water.
After a while, the cat meowed again.
The lethality is not great.
It's just quite annoying.
It beeps every once in a while, disturbing people's sleep.
Su Tan lazily held the sword and sat quietly beside the bed. This thing was indeed not very powerful, but it was quite unethical.
When the midnight bell rang, the noise outside finally changed, and it seemed that there were noises inside the house as well.
On one side, there were rustling sounds outside, which were eerie.
On the other side, a creepy and strange noise was heard from inside the house.
Before the midnight bell rang, the innkeeper told her that if she heard the noise she must get out quickly to save her life.
The waiter at the inn told her not to go out no matter what sound she heard, because it was an illusion created by the ghosts, and if she went out, she would surely die.
Now, the two voices sounded at the same time.
In the end, should she go out or stay?
Su Tan said nothing, just picked up the sword, slowly stood up, and walked to the door.
At this moment, her hand gently touched the bolt. Opening the door or keeping it still would determine her future fate.
Su Tan gently turned the bolt, curled his lips, pushed the door open, and then...
One foot outside.
Keep your feet inside.
The air was silent for a moment.
A gust of wind blew over and stopped in front of her.
Another gust of wind blew over and stopped when it was one step away from her.
“…”
“…”
Su Tan held the sword and stood there quietly, one foot outside and one foot inside.
Let's talk about it, she's still half standing in the room.
She was said to be staying in the house, but half of her body had already stuck out.
"...Why are you standing like this if you're not sleeping?"
The sound of her opening the door made the man on guard outside suddenly open his eyes.
Song Tingchen turned his head and his eyes fell on Su Tan. Seeing that she had one foot outside the door and one foot inside the house, his expression suddenly became complicated.
Su Tan held the sword in her hand and saw Song Tingchen standing outside her door in the middle of the night without sleeping. She did not feel moved, but just found it a little funny.
"I'd like to ask General Song, what are you doing squatting in front of my door in the middle of the night?"
"Eating too much salt makes you feel salty (and idle)?"
Song Tingchen frowned.
Su Tan's attitude towards him has always been like this, and he is actually somewhat used to it.
He said calmly, "After all, you are Song Xiao's biological mother. It is only right that I protect you."
Su Tan frowned, then turned his head and looked at Song Tingchen with a puzzled look, "You, protect me?"
She seemed to have heard some particularly funny joke, and for a moment she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Su Tan, I told you that you have a very good temper."
Lu Zhiheng waved his folding fan, his voice nonchalant, his eyes swept across Su Tan's face, and then he raised his eyebrows, "How could you tolerate him showing off his skills and making irresponsible remarks in front of you?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that Su Tan had one foot inside the house and one foot outside. He couldn't help but arch his eyebrows, "Are you... planning to piss off the ghost to death?"
Su Tan raised an eyebrow, leaning against the door frame with his sword in his arms. "So, how did His Highness come out? But did you hear any noise tonight?"
Lu Zhiheng shook his head, waving his folding fan gently. "Not really, it's just that I seem to have been drinking a bit too much tea tonight. It's already this late, and I can't sleep anyway, so I decided to go out for a walk."
Su Tan hummed, "I see."
Song Tingchen's brows furrowed even more tightly. His eyes were cold as he glanced at Lu Zhiheng's face. Suddenly, he sneered, "Your Highness seems to be enjoying himself, walking around on his own. But have you ever thought about what the little princess should do?"
"Even though there are guards inside the house, they are still mortals. Your Highness is just letting them go. Aren't you afraid that the little princess will get into danger?"
He used to think that Prince Lu Zhiheng was a good and responsible father.
Now I realize that even after becoming a father, this man is still willful and capricious. He does everything according to his mood without caring about the consequences.
For example, now, he left Princess Zhaoyang alone in the room and walked around at will. Someone had clearly said before that there was a tiger demon in this area and baby girls were most likely to be abducted.
Lu Zhiheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, his tone casual and even hinting at a hint of sarcasm, "When will it be General Song's turn to teach me how to be a father?"
"General Song, just mind your own business. Father asked you to escort me all the way, but he didn't ask you to meddle in other people's business and become my teacher."
Song Tingchen sneered and said no more. He just held the sword with a stern expression.
His eyes fell on Su Tan, and his brows furrowed even more. "Are you planning to stand like this all night?"
Su Tan ignored him, with four words clearly written in his eyes.
--none of your business.
Lu Zhiheng ignored Song Tingchen and just stood beside Su Tan, fanning himself nonchalantly.
This created a very strange scene.
Lu Zhiheng stood on Su Tan's left, fanning himself.
Song Tingchen stood on Su Tan's right, holding a sword.
There is a sense of respecting Su Tan.
Su Tan, with one foot outside the house and the other foot inside, added a touch of weirdness to the already disharmonious picture.
There seemed to be a cold wind in front and behind her.
It’s just that this cold wind is not going to work if it blows, and it’s not going to work if it doesn’t blow.
Finally, the sound of the Vajra Bell rang out, and this sudden sound finally broke the tranquility.
The three of them raised their eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
