Chapter 155
"Can you be more specific?"
Paradise asked.
"Oh, how detailed can it be? Isn't it just those four words? Their family paid money in the city, and relying on their reputation, they had people post notices to all the people in the city, including those coming in and out, saying that they have money and will definitely reward anyone who can help them solve their problems. When those people heard that there was money to be made, they hurried over to see and listen.
They all knew what was written on the notice. The specific problem was that the Marquis' wife was unwell and had nightmares all night. In order to relieve her discomfort, she hoped that everyone would help her to look for strangers everywhere in the next three days. If anyone came here during this period, please be sure to postpone your search for a while. If you find the stranger who unexpectedly appeared during this period, as long as you report it, you will definitely get a reward.
So, if I just hand you over, I will get a lot of money, and I won't have to live outside the city, and I won't have to endure poverty. Tell me, am I or not tempted?"
the girl asked.
Leyuan said: "When it comes to money, no one is right or wrong. No matter how you think, it's the same."
The girl snorted: "It's boring."
She stood up and said, "Can you still walk? It looks like you were frightened and fell into the water, but you don't look like someone who would fall into the water. You didn't want to commit suicide by jumping into the lake, and suddenly changed your mind and heard someone coming, so you got up?"
Paradise said: "It's not what you think."
He patted his clothes and said, "I'm just lost."
The girl rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of something: "Since you are lost, you must have been here for a while, right? If so, you must have heard something unusual here, right?"
Leyuan asked, "Do you mean the voices of men and women talking?"
The girl stared at the paradise closely. "Tell me clearly! Is it the sound of horse hooves, men talking, women shouting and cursing, and the sound of death? Is it? Is it? Please, tell me?"
Leyuan took a step back: "Yes."
The girl smiled in surprise, turned around, and came back to look at the park. She retracted her smile with a twinkling look in her eyes, and took a step forward with a bit of worry and asked, "Hey, since you heard it all, did you see it?"
Paradise asked, “Is there anything I should see?”
The girl looked at Paradise's clothes and said, "That's right, you are soaked. You probably heard the noise and didn't want to be discovered, so you hid in the water. It's reasonable that you didn't see anything. Let me tell you, this is not the first time this has happened here. This strange noise has been heard many days ago. It was unclear at first, but later at night, someone was screaming or arguing, so everyone was aware of it.
People who lived nearby who could find a way to move away have all left, and those who cannot leave have tried to visit relatives and not live here temporarily. The number of people passing by here has also gradually decreased, and it has become very quiet. The sounds are clearer than before, and there is no sign of them disappearing. No one knows when they will end.
Some brave people would stay here together at night, wanting to have some excitement and also to earn some living expenses for people like me who live nearby. I had no objection. After they came, they stayed nearby, did not sleep well at night, and played games with their eyes closed. At first, they only played simple games like throwing things in the house, drinking and talking, and then they went out.
They started playing horse riding, archery and hide-and-seek, and then they started to attract ghosts.
This kind of thing is always scary. You can believe it if you believe it or not. Here, we have to believe it a little after seeing the situation. Otherwise, even if they are in awe and walk around it, not touching, looking, listening or caring about it, they probably can go home without any problem. However, they were disobedient and did not believe it at all. After playing the ghost-summoning game a few times, they felt something was wrong and kept going out.
Before they came, they knew that there was a problem here, namely those noises. When they arrived, they immediately ran over to look followed for them, saying that someone was playing tricks and they had to find them out, so they them. I didn't dare to go in, so I just watched them go out and tried to persuade them, but they didn't listen to a word I said. They all left and none of them came back.
Afterwards, those people were considered missing, and the guards in the city were visited by their relatives, so they went out to look for them. When they found me, I told them everything, but they didn't believe me. But at least they became more alert. They waited until night, played games, heard the noise, and followed them out to look for them, but no one came back.
The third wave of people were relatives of those people. They were fully armed and walked out of the city gate very vigilantly. They came in broad daylight and found my residence. They almost knocked the door down. I opened the door, and they glared at me.
I can't help it.
I walked around everywhere, but they were still not satisfied and said they would chop off my arms to show me how powerful they were. I begged them not to, but they said I was acting more like a child. I complained in my heart that they were threatening others so confidently.
I said it was very unfair, and they said that all their relatives and friends were dead, but I was still alive. Even if they killed me, it must have been related to me. How could it be unfair?
I knew there was no way to convince them, but even though I really didn't want to see the source of the noises, I had to continue leading them to look for it. They were a little, and someone pushed me. I was very tired from walking, and I couldn't stand steadily, so I sat on the ground and couldn't help crying. As I started crying, the sound of angry horse hooves came closer and closer.
At first the sound of horse hooves was not loud, but then it became heavier and heavier, obviously getting closer. The group of people panicked, they threw me on the ground and ran to hide. They also thought that those noises must be made by some uneducated playboys riding horses to play tricks and imitate dramas to scare people around, causing the deaths of innocent people. If they saw people, they would not come over.
I stood there, crying loudly. When I saw them all running away, I was very scared, so I ran to a tree nearby, closed my eyes, and clung to the tree tightly, hoping that I would not be discovered.
The sound of horse hooves stopped. Logically, both the rider and the horse should have appeared.
But I didn't open my eyes, so I didn't know. However, I vaguely heard the person hiding over there say that there seemed to be no one there.
A voice scolded, "Be quiet, it must be nearby, wait a little longer, maybe it will appear soon."
But after a while, he didn't show up.
They saw no one.
There is nothing, as if there was nothing in the first place.
But the sound continued.
Even from the previous episodes, I could almost recite most of the sentences.
The man scolded, the woman begged for mercy, the woman cursed, the woman died, the sound of horse hooves sounded again, and the group of people should have left.
I waited for a long time, and when I felt it was getting dark and then light again, I dared to open my eyes cautiously. Suddenly I found a bloody face staring at me with its eyes open. I was startled and almost fell off the tree.
I had been frozen in the tree with my eyes closed for too long. I couldn't walk without moving my body, so I had to crawl back home. When I moved my body, the body fell down. I looked down and saw that everyone around me was dead, except me. I went home afterwards and didn't dare to look again. It was strange that you were not dead. Maybe you are the hope to solve the problem.
That's why I said that you are most likely the one the lady is looking for, and you can give me a lot of money."
Leyuan nodded: "So, I saved a life."
The shadow laughed and said, "Why are you afraid? We won't die."
Leyuan responded, "That's true."
The girl asked, "You can still walk now, why don't you come sit over here with me? Your clothes are wet and you'll get sick easily. No matter what you do next, getting sick won't be good, right?"
Paradise said, "Okay."
The girl took Paradise back to her home.
Leyuan changed into clean clothes and looked more like the people here.
The girl looked at him and said, "You are the only one who came into contact with the source of those sounds and survived. What are you doing here?"
Paradise said: "Looking for someone."
Leyuan asked: "Do you know Xu Miaoman?"
The girl blinked and said, "Xu Miaoman?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Madam Peach Blossom?"
Leyuan asked: "What is Peach Blossom Lady?"
The girl said, "The concubine of the second son of the Marquis's mansion is as pretty as a peach blossom. People who have seen her say she is pretty, and when they praise her they all say she is Madam Peach Blossom. Therefore, when people in the city hear the word peach blossom, they think of Madam Peach Blossom, and when they mention Madam Peach Blossom, they think of that person.
However, she either had bad luck or bad fate, everyone only said that she had a pretty face, and when talking about other things about her, they just said it was a pity. "
Paradise asked: "What's the pity?"
The girl said, "I don't know much, and I'm not on their side. I'm not sure whether what they said is true or false. Do you still want to listen?"
Paradise said, "You speak."
The girl sighed, "It is said that Madam Taohua was a member of a troupe many years ago, singing songs. Because of her pretty face, she was spotted by the second son of the Marquis who passed by and was taken home as a concubine. But she was not satisfied and after giving birth to a son and a daughter, she wanted to be the main wife.
The second son of the Marquis was a dissolute person. He spent all day in red-light districts and did not work hard. He did not get any honors in the imperial examinations, and he did not do things properly. He was not favored by his father at home, and his mother died early. His stepmother was very good to him, but he did not appreciate it and insisted on going against others. His reputation was so bad that decent people did not want to see him, let alone have much contact with him. He left the mansion a long time ago and lived alone.
He had long told people outside that he was unwilling to return to the mansion. He didn't want any needle or thread from the mansion. He didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the mansion, and he wouldn't abide by the rules there. But the reality was another matter.
Not only did he have close contacts with the third son of the Marquis, he also secretly contacted his stepmother. We don't know how they contacted each other specifically, but his house was always full of gold, silver and jewelry. He didn't work, and he rarely went out unless he was having fun. He also had a nanny who did chores, a mistress, a son and a daughter at home, including himself. How could he survive just by eating and drinking?
He must have taken the money!
I just don't know where the money came from.
He did not admit that the money came from the Marquis's Mansion, but that did not stop others from saying that he had asked for the money from others, such as his younger brother, the third son of the Marquis's Mansion.
It is also possible that the person had a good relationship with him and often helped him.
Even if he doesn't say it, others can guess it.
Even so, he had clearly said long ago that he would not abide by the rules of the Marquis's Mansion. But after Madam Taohua gave birth to a son and a daughter for him and asked him for the position of the head wife, he refused and said no.
You know, he often says to Madam Taohua, "I love you very much, I can't live without you, you are my sweetheart." He also says the same thing to others about Madam Taohua, "She can't live without me, she must be with me, we are a perfect match made in heaven and cannot be separated." But now, it turns out that all these words are lies and not a single word of them can be believed.
When Lady Taohua asked him why, he was vague. When his maid asked him why, he said that it was not allowed in the mansion and he still had a living biological father, so he had to be careful. Although he didn't like it, he couldn't make her angry to death, right? Even if she was his stepmother, she was still his mother. Although she was not his biological mother, he couldn't ignore her face.
When Madam Taohua heard this, she was furious and felt very aggrieved. She went back to her room and cried. When asked about it, she just said that she was blinded by the wind outside and felt very uncomfortable, so she came back to cry. From that day on, she became depressed and gradually suffered from major and minor illnesses. Everyone around her knew about her illness and said that their house was not good and people living in it would get sick.
The second son of the Marquis did not move, nor did he take care of himself. He still went out to play every day. The people nearby secretly said to their children, "Did you see that? You can't get close to people like that, or you'll be in trouble. Madam Taohua is one of them. You can't learn from them!"
The children all nodded and said they understood.
Later, the second son of the Marquis found a lady from a high-class family to be his wife. Lady Taohua fell seriously ill and was almost angry to death. After she recovered, the lady humiliated her, saying that she was just a singer. It was nothing more than that. It seemed that the rumors about her beauty in her early years were just misunderstandings.
Madam Taohua fell ill again. This time it was a minor illness, nothing serious, but her body became weaker.
Later, no one knew what Madam Taohua had done wrong, but the eldest lady wanted to kick her out, along with her child. The second son of the Marquis protected his child, but that was all. The eldest lady wanted to kick everyone out again, and cried to the second son of the Marquis, "If you let them stay here, what will I do? If I have a child in the future, what will I do with the child?"
So, the second son of the Marquis persisted for a while, but he didn't win, so he had to give up and let Madam Taohua take the children away from their residence. It was not a tall house to begin with, and after they walked out, they were only three or five steps away from someone else's door. The incident was quite a big deal, and everyone around saw it. They knew everything from talking about it, and they told the story vividly, as if it was a real story.
Madam Taohua had nowhere to go, so she could only find an uninhabited place nearby and settle down reluctantly. She struggled every day to survive and looked for a job everywhere. But the mistress drove her out because she wanted her to die early. She thought that since she was a worried and sickly person, she would definitely catch a cold and die naturally in two days, so that others could rest assured.
Who knew that when things happened, Madam Taohua became less and less sick, and the eldest lady was angry and also fell ill, ordering the whole house around. She invited a doctor, then drove him away, scolded her husband, and found fault with the nanny. But after all these, one night she suddenly said she had a stomachache and insisted on sending someone out to find a doctor.
The doctor came back and said she was pregnant, congratulations.
I don't know what the family's expressions were like, but they were pretty good. The doctor took the money and went home, and the lady became even more arrogant.
The house is in chaos every day. I don’t know what’s going on. One day people are smashing things, one day they are digging holes, and one day they are swearing. It’s so annoying.
The neighbors were so annoyed that they wished they could move away immediately.
Afterwards, things gradually became quiet, the eldest lady became pregnant, and she suddenly remembered Lady Taohua who had been driven out of the house, so she sent someone out to look for her, saying that she was pregnant, and now they wanted to pray for blessings and accumulate virtue for their unborn child. The second son of the Marquis also went out to look for her, and when he found Lady Taohua, she was working in a restaurant, wiping tables, washing dishes, and singing songs. She was getting by, but her life was very tight.
In any case, it's not as good as before.
The second son of the Marquis found the person and was very sincere in his heart. He persuaded Madam Taohua to go back and took the two children home with him.
Who knew that the eldest lady fell and had a miscarriage. She was in a bad mood and cursed everyone she saw. When she was mad, she beat and cursed the two children and drove them out again, insisting that she was wronged. The second son of the Marquis was a weak man. When he met someone like the eldest lady, he became useless. He walked around and turned around countless times, but still couldn't go out, let alone take them back.
Mrs. Taohua could only continue her previous life with her children outside and suffered a lot of ridicule. Fortunately, she did not lose her job and was able to make a living.
However, because the eldest lady was too angry, she fell ill again, so she went to see a doctor. The doctor told her to take some medicine and she would feel better if she calmed down. But she couldn't help but be angry, so she said that the root of the problem must be Madam Taohua and the two children, and asked people to drive Madam Taohua away, along with the two children.
This time, the second son of the Marquis finally showed some strength and said that Madam Taohua could be driven away so that a living person would not starve to death, but the child could not be taken away, as even a tiger would not eat its own cubs.
The eldest lady beat and scolded him, and the two of them had a quarrel. After a night, they finally calmed down because the second son of the Marquis promised the eldest lady to drive Madam Taohua away, and also forbid Madam Taohua to find a job and take the children back to raise them. However, he would not let them appear in front of the eldest lady. The eldest lady was tired of quarreling and reluctantly agreed.
The second son of the Marquis immediately sent people out to do work, and Madam Taohua was driven away from her residence, lost her job, and her child was kidnapped. She cried uncontrollably, and later became a little crazy. It was not obvious at first, and she still looked for work everywhere, hoping to survive, but every time she was about to find a job, she was disturbed by the people sent by the second son of the Marquis to follow her.
Therefore, Taohua Niangzi never found a job. She was driven away from here and there. She was starving and could only survive by begging for alms. Her clothes were dirty and her shoes were dusty. She didn't look as bright and beautiful as before. Her appearance gradually became weaker and less beautiful. When she walked among the crowd, it seemed as if she had always been there.
You can't tell at all that she used to be such a beautiful person.
Missing her child, she returned to the door of the residence of the Marquis's second son and wandered around. One day, she suddenly saw a child thrown out. She didn't know what had happened, so she went to ask and found out that the lady inside was upset when she saw her son. She thought of her own child who died before he was born, so she had someone beat Taohua Madam's son who laughed out loud while playing.
The child was not convinced and made the eldest lady angry. In a rage, the eldest lady had the child beaten severely and then driven out. The child was thrown out. The second son of the Marquis was not at home, and even if he was, he could not do anything if he knew about it. Wasn't this the case with everything that happened before?
Madam Taohua took her son away, and the two of them stayed together for a while. The son became ill due to the wound and later died.
Madam Taohua buried her son and became even crazier than before. She spread the word everywhere that the second son of the Marquis was a treacherous and heartless bastard. Some people believed her, some did not. The people who had followed her before still followed her. She was not allowed to find a job or say bad things. She made more and more trouble and finally went to the Imperial Palace, which became a bigger matter.
When the eldest lady found out, she was so angry that she beat Madam Taohua's daughter. The child was beaten, and there was nothing she could do but cry. She cried so hard that the house was filled with water at night, as if there was a female ghost. The neighbors simply couldn't stand it, so they discussed staying at a relative's house for two days to avoid the situation here.
We don’t know what Lady Taohua did in the Golden Palace, but she lost and was chased away again, even further away. It is said that she was surrounded and killed by a group of people near here. After her death, those abnormal noises began to appear here. We don’t know what happened, but I guess it must be related to her. ”
Leyuan blinked and said, "You said you don't know, but you still know a lot."
The girl smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's nothing, but if you want to know other things about Taohua Madam, I can also point you in the right direction. I know where Taohua Madam used to work. You can go there and ask, maybe you will know things about Taohua Madam that others don't know."
Le Yuan nodded doubtfully: "You tell me this, what do you want? I have nothing."
The girl smiled and said, "I've lived here alone for a long time, and I think it's a good thing to have someone to talk to me. I don't mean anything else. You don't have to give me anything. I don't know if you have anything to give me. Your changed clothes are over there. I found this set of clothes for you. If you have anything, how can you not even have an extra set of clothes to change into?"
Leyuan nodded: "Yes."
The girl said, "You can stay here for a while. When you have finished your business, it won't be too late to leave. Many people have died here. I live alone and sometimes I feel scared. No matter how brave you are, you can't endure this."
Leyuan responded, "Okay. I'll stay here until this is done."
The girl smiled and said, "Well, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Rakuen nodded.
After a break, the girl came back. Le Yuan stood up and said, "There is no time to lose. I'd better go find the place where Madam Taohua works."
The girl was a little disappointed, but still nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you the address, you can go find the guys there and ask them. If they don't tell you, don't be discouraged, they are all like this. Maybe you can see the two policemen who have been following Madam Taohua on the road. If possible, it's the same if you ask them, they must know about Madam Taohua.
I just don’t know how much they know and whether they are willing to tell you.”
Leyuan responded, "Thank you."
The girl nodded and said, "It's okay. I won't follow you in."
Leyuan got the address, left the girl's residence and entered the city. It was almost dusk in the city. Leyuan found a waiter of the hotel. There were tables and chairs outside the door. Some guests were chatting. Leyuan stood nearby and listened to a part of the conversation.
"That Lady Taohua is a monster! Don't you know? Oh, I know! After she was driven away, she continued to have an affair with that guy and got pregnant. It was so strange that she was going to give birth in just one day. The baby was a monster. No one knew what it was, but it was definitely not a human. It was extremely scary. Everyone was scared, especially the midwife. She had never seen such a strange thing and was terrified.
The midwife ran away, and the man also ran away in fright.
Only Lady Peach Blossom felt scared when she looked at the child, because when she looked closely, she saw that it was a twisting peach branch covered with a milky white, salty mucus. There were peach blossoms on the branch, and under the peach blossoms was a peach fruit. The peach blossom had a human face with all the facial features, and there was a snake tail at the back, as if a snake might crawl out of it at any time.
Madam Taohua couldn't bear to kill her own child, and she didn't want to raise such a monster, so she lit a fire and threw the thing into the fire. The thing screamed, and the sound was so loud that people around could hear it. Otherwise, how would I know? They wouldn't tell me these things. Family disgrace should not be made public. They are too busy covering it up.
Haha, but this is quite interesting, isn't it? Have you heard any other interesting stories about Peach Blossom Lady? Tell me about it so I can tell others. It's rare to find such an interesting person in these years."
The man was drinking and looking around. When he saw the amusement park, he waved at him and said, "Hey! I don't think I've seen you before. Do you know anything?"
Leyuan said, "I came here to look for the guys here."
The waiter came out and asked, "Hey! You looking for me? What's the matter?"
Leyuan asked, "Has Madam Taohua worked here before?"
When the waiter heard that he was not a guest, his expression changed. However, after hearing that he was only asking this, he remained patient and said with a smile, "Oh, yes, I was the one who received him at that time. What do you want to ask?"
Leyuan said: "Do you know where Lady Taohua went later?"
The clerk shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know. Not only do I not know where she went, I also don't know where she worked, how she survived, how she got the money, who the money belonged to, I don't know anything. If you want to ask these questions, you can leave now. If you want to buy something, please find a place to sit down."
He smiled at the paradise, turned around and was about to leave, his perfunctory attitude evident in his words.
Leyuan asked: "Have you ever seen a woman who looks similar to Lady Taohua?"
The clerk turned around and looked at him: "What you said is really interesting. Everyone knows that Madam Taohua is an orphan, without parents or brothers or sisters. How could a woman who looks similar to her suddenly appear? Did you have a dream?"
The people around laughed: "That's possible! Some people can't tell the difference between dreams and reality."
Paradise said: "It's not a dream."
The guy laughed and said, “Then I don’t know.”
He turned and walked away.
Leyuan thought about it, walked away, and looked around the city, but didn't find anyone. He was about to take a break when he suddenly heard a woman singing, the same voice as Xu Miaoman he had heard before. Leyuan chased after her, but didn't see anyone. He walked back to the door of the hotel and asked the waiter again. The waiter still said no, waved his hand, and asked him to go away.
He was a little disappointed and took two steps outside. Two people came out from the side. They looked like policemen. They looked around the park and asked, "Where are you from? I have never seen you before. Are you a stranger who just came here today? What are you doing here? Are you a spy from outside?"
Leyuan said, "I'm here to look for Madam Taohua."
The two people looked at each other and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha! Madam Taohua? There has always been only Madam Taohua. Where did Madam Taohua come from? Are you stupid?"
Leyuan said, "Then it's Lady Taohua, have you ever seen her?"
The two people over there still laughed: "Where is the Peach Blossom Lady? She died a long time ago, not today. Did you just find out? Or do you still not know? We are telling you now, you should know. Tell us what you are here for! If you don't tell the truth, we will be rude to you. We have repeatedly reminded you not to let relatives and friends come at this time."
They blocked off the park and looked serious.
Le Yuan said, "I am telling the truth. I am here to look for Madam Tao Hua. I am looking for Xu Miao Man. Do you know her?"
The two people looked at each other and asked, "Then tell me, what does the Xu Miaoman you are looking for look like?"
Leyuan said: "She is 80% similar to Taohua Niangzi, but there are mottled red marks on her face, which look like birthmarks. At first glance, it is difficult to recognize what she looks like."
The two officers laughed and said, "You are joking again! How could two people look so alike? They are not sisters. Even if they are sisters, they rarely look so alike. Do you think we don't know? If you want to deceive people, choose someone that others don't know! People in the city know something about Madam Taohua. You want to use this to deceive us brothers, but you are wrong."
They questioned: "We'll give you one more chance, this is the last one! What exactly are you here for? If you can't explain it clearly, we won't be polite to you!"
Leyuan was also a little impatient: "I told you! I'm here to find Xu Miaoman."
The two policemen thought he was still unwilling to tell the truth and said angrily, "Okay! Do you think we are unworthy of talking to you and look down on us? We will show you how powerful we are today! We must arrest you and bring you to the lady!"
Leyuan asked: "What lady?"
The messenger sneered, "That's a strange thing to say. Don't you know that? If you want to ask Madam Taohua, you will definitely have to ask the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion."
Le Yuan frowned: "Madam Taohua is not the concubine of the second son of the Marquis. Even if she is a concubine, she is only related to the first wife of the second son of the Marquis. What is the first wife of the Marquis's mansion?"
The messenger laughed and said, "Ah, that's why you don't know. It was like what you said before, but it's not the same now. The Marquis has died, and the Marquis's eldest son has a lame leg and is sick, so he can't take the position. Naturally, according to the order of succession, it's the Marquis's second son's turn, so he went back to take over the position and is now the Marquis of the Marquis's Mansion.
The Marquis’s wife is naturally the Marquis’s wife.”
Leyuan frowned: "No wonder."
If it weren't for the lady of the Marquis's Mansion, posting the notice with such fanfare would have taken so much manpower and resources, and no one would have been willing to do it.
If so, it's not surprising.
The policemen attacked him when he was not prepared. Leyuan turned and ran away. The two policemen shouted, "Catch him! He is related to Madam Taohua! He is the person the Madam is looking for! Maybe he is here to kill the Madam! We can't let him go! We can't let him get away! Catch him quickly!"
The crowd that heard the sound had their eyes brightened and started running, wanting to catch Paradise to exchange for prize money.
Leyuan ran faster than them, and they disappeared when they couldn't keep an eye on her.
They searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so they turned around and left in disappointment and regret.
The two policemen were somewhat unwilling to give up, and finally left without finding the person. They murmured angrily, "Next time! Don't give me a chance to see you, or I will capture you and bring you to the Madam, and let her give you a good beating!"
Having said that, they left.
After waiting in the park for a while, he felt that everyone outside had left, so he gradually stuck his head out to look. Indeed, there was no one there. He breathed a sigh of relief and went out to rest. While he was resting, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming hurriedly towards him.
