Chapter 200 The Hundredth First Love (3)

Bai Yao picked a persimmon hanging on the branch and said to him viciously: "Just wait for me!"

If she didn't take revenge, she would not be called Bai Yao! Bai

Yao climbed down the ladder and put the freshly picked persimmon into her brother's hand, then grabbed her brother's other hand and walked away quickly.

She walked quickly, her green skirt fluttering, and her pair of white embroidered shoes looked like fluttering butterflies.

The boy shook his legs lightly, watching her back disappear as she left. His curious eyes fell on the branch next to him that was full of bright red persimmons. He stretched out his hand and casually picked a soft persimmon. He first sniffed it with the tip of his nose, then opened his mouth and took a bite.

The next moment, he vomited it all out with a "Puh, Puh".

This sticky stuff is really disgusting.

Bai Yu and his wife Wenwan returned to the yard. As usual, they went to see how their daughter was. Because Bai Yao's face was injured, Bai Yu and his wife, as well as the servants who served Bai Yao, were worried that Bai Yao would not be able to figure it out and do something stupid.

In their view, a girl who was waiting to be married had her face disfigured. This was simply a big deal!

However, Bai Yao was sitting in the room now, holding a cake in one hand and taking a few bites, while the other hand was soaked in a basin of water. She looked ferocious, as if the cake she was biting had a deep hatred for her.

Bai Yu asked quickly: "What happened?"

Bai Jue sat next to her sister and answered obediently: "My sister was bitten by a bug on her hand."

Wen Wan hurried over to take a look, "How is it? Is it serious?"

She took out her daughter's hand and took a look. She saw that Bai Yao's whole hand had turned red. She was extremely anxious in an instant, "It's so serious! Don't you know how to call a doctor? What are you using to soak your hands!"

Bai Yao put her hand back into the basin, "Rice water."

Bai Yu was also anxious, "What's the use of using rice water!"

Bai Yao said, "It's useful. I don't feel so much pain anymore."

Bai Jue interrupted and said, "My sister said, this is called... acid-base neutralization..."

As he spoke, the child scratched his head, and it was obvious that he didn't know what acid-base neutralization was.

Bai Yu thought his daughter was just making a fuss, so they quickly asked the servants to call a doctor. Wen Wan looked at Bai Yao, her eyes reddening again. Even though Bai Yao said it was just a minor wound on her face, which was not noticeable on weekdays and not serious, they all knew that there was no girl who didn't love beauty.

So Bai Yao must have given up on herself and didn't take her body seriously.

Bai Yao had to change the subject, "How's the ritual going with Second Uncle?"

Speaking of this, Bai Yu snorted unhappily, "They found a weird Miao native who said he was a master. His name was also strange, called Chi Chong or something. But seeing how young he was and his frivolous and frivolous behavior, I guess he's a charlatan."

Wen Wan glanced at her husband, "Everyone knows what he was doing. He was just waiting for the so-called summoning of the spirit so that he could point out that we were the ones who killed his son."

Bai Yao asked: "That Miao man said he could call back the souls of the dead?"

Bai Yu said: "He said that the altar has been set up, and the deceased will be able to come back to life at midnight tonight. Now the people from the second house are guarding the mourning hall, and they are watching it closely."

Wen Wan: "They are watching so closely, aren't they afraid that we will cause trouble? I want to see what kind of ghosts they are going to call back tonight."

Bai Jue hugged Bai Yao's waist in fear. Children are instinctively afraid of ghosts.

Bai Yao fed Bai Jue a piece of cake, and she whispered: "Don't be afraid, Jue, there are no ghosts in this world."

Bai Jue raised her chubby little face, her big black eyes full of innocence, "But sister... everyone says that there are ghosts in our house, and many people have died."

"That must be because there is a murderer hiding in the house, and he knows that everyone is afraid of ghosts, so he made such a big fuss. Jue, you have to remember that human hearts are much scarier than the ghosts in the stories. Even the ghosts that harm people in the stories are also transformed from people, aren't they?"

Bai Jue nodded, not quite understanding.

After a long time, the doctor finally came. The Bai family was haunted by ghosts, and it was late at night. If it wasn't for a large sum of money, it would be difficult to invite a doctor to come.

The doctor looked at Bai Yao for a long time but couldn't figure out what bit her. He could only prescribe some common ointment.

Fortunately, the thing that bit Bai Yao was not poisonous. She soaked in rice water for a long time, and the symptoms were not so serious. However, her hands were wrinkled.

Bai Yu told Bai Yao that she and Bai Jue should not go to the mourning hall to join in the fun at night. No one knew what would happen in the second room tonight. She asked Bai Yao to take Bai Jue to stay in the room, lock the doors and windows, and there would be servants and maids guarding outside the door.

Because of the death of the eldest master and the appearance of several dried corpses in the mansion, no matter whether it was humans or ghosts, people were always in a panic. Everyone was afraid that they would be the next person to die, and everyone's nerves were tense.

Late at night, there was a strong wind outside the window.

Bai Yao woke up from her sleep and touched her side, but it was empty. She sat up hurriedly and scanned the room but did not see Bai Jue.

Bai Yao picked up her coat and put it on. She opened the door. The servants who were guarding outside were drowsy. She woke them up, "Did you see Jue come out?"

Several servants shook their heads, looking terrified.

Bai Yao was anxious, picked up a lantern, and said to the others: "Search separately!"

The servants did not dare to be negligent and quickly went to look for people.

Tonight, the moon was dark and the stars were dim. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the wind was howling, like crying and complaining. The white lanterns hanging on the eaves were swaying, and the candles inside were inexplicably flickering, making the word "甸" on the lanterns appear to be extinguished.

The maid following behind Bai Yao was timid, fearing that tonight was the night when the eldest master's soul returned, and they might encounter ghosts.

Passing through the corridor filled with white lanterns, the thin back of the child vaguely emerged between the shadows of the trees.

Bai Yao called out, "Ajue!"

Without stopping, Bai Jue walked straight ahead into the dark woods.

The maid said tremblingly, "Miss, is there something wrong with the young master?"

Bai Yao frowned, but she didn't care about anything else and chased after Bai Jue, "Ajue, stop!"

Bai Jue seemed not to hear anything. He stared blankly ahead, lost in the shadows of the trees, as if a woman's hand was calling him to her side.

There was a forest in the backyard of the Bai Mansion. Because there was an accident at a dry well here, not many people would come here normally. Bai Jue was also asked by adults not to enter the forest, as there might be wild animals here that would eat him.

He had always been very well behaved and had never set foot in this forest. Today was the first time, and it was also Bai Yao's first time to set foot here.

Bai Yao pushed aside the branches blocking the way and gradually got closer to Bai Jue's back. At the same time, she heard the sound of a silver bell.

There was another figure in red on the other side. His expression could not be seen in the darkness, but he seemed to be strolling in the same direction as Bai Jue.

Bai Yao stretched out her hand: "Ajue!"

She pulled Bai Jue into her arms. Bai Jue was just one step away from stepping into the well in front of her. Bai Yao panted and hugged her brother tightly in fear. She glanced to the other side and saw that the young man in red had passed her, and his back was still moving forward.

The bottomless well was right in front of them.

Bai Yao threw away the lantern in her hand and grabbed his hand, "Do you want to die!"

The lantern fell to the ground and the candlelight went out immediately.

He stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked down at her hand. There was a little surprise in his beautiful eyes.

Bai Yao said: "Wait for me to settle with you some other day!"

She let go of his hand and walked back with Bai Jue, who was still a little dazed.

Chi Chong looked up, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moon reappeared. He said: "Today is the night of the full moon."

Bai Yao looked back at him, "What's wrong with the night of the full moon?"

The moonlight was bleak, the red-clothed boy's hair was as white as snow, his skin was pale and bloodless, but when his eyes were relaxed, his smile was bright, but also hidden a bit of viciousness, "I'm waiting for you to settle with me."

- If you can still remember.

The slow-running maid finally caught up. Bai Yao suppressed her doubts, picked up the uneasy Bai Jue, and quickly returned with the maid.

Chi Chong raised his hand. Under the moonlight, he quietly looked at his hand that had been grabbed not long ago. Finally, he curled his lips in boredom, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand clean.

Bai Yao didn't know whether Bai Jue was sleepwalking or possessed. The child fell asleep as soon as he came back. She was afraid that the same thing would happen again, so she could only stay awake with Bai Jue. When it was almost dawn, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, Bai Yao was awakened by the noise outside again.

Bai Jue had woken up a long time ago. He was not in a good mental state. When Bai Yao asked him about what happened last night, he looked confused and had no idea that he had run out in the middle of the night.

The noise outside was really annoying. Putting aside what happened last night, Bai Yao took Bai Jue to wash up, and then went out with him to find his parents.

There was a lot of noise in the mourning hall, and no one knew what had happened.

After entering the yard of the second room, Bai Yao met the boy who was walking opposite.

Bai Jue immediately stood in front of Bai Yao, and he glared at the man in front of him fiercely, "Don't get close to my sister!"

Chi Chong was playing with a green leaf that he picked up from somewhere in his hand, with a smile on his face. He generously didn't care about being yelled at by a little brat.

Bai Yao pulled back her brother who was about to turn into a little lion, "What are you doing?"

Bai Jue said angrily: "My hand was bitten by a bug after I met him yesterday! He was a guest invited by my second uncle, he must be a bad guy!"

Bai Yao was puzzled, "I met him yesterday?"

Why didn't she remember this?

When she looked over again, she happened to meet the boy's smiling peach blossom eyes.

She was even more confused. If she had met him, she would definitely not forget him. After all, a man dressed so fancy was really impressive.
