Chapter 55 The Haunted House

"Hehe..." Lan Yunjin curled his lips as soon as he entered the room, with disgust on his face: "This is the courtyard of a young master of a mansion? Even if he can't catch up with the residence of the servants in my mansion!"

"This broken bed, this broken table, this broken... Why don't you even have a wardrobe?" Lan Yunjin's words made Xiao Tao feel a little surprised. He really seemed to have not seen the wardrobe yet.

The two of them looked at Xi Yu who was entering the door, and saw that he was blushing and embarrassed: "The wardrobe is broken. I'm waiting for Yueyin to come down this month and I'm going to buy it! My clothes are all placed in the side room next to me!"

"It's really..." Lan Yunjin couldn't say anything, bit her upper teeth and threw a small porcelain bottle to Xi Yu, and explained: "Wipe this for her to save scars!" Then she left without looking back!

"Why are you back?" Xiaotao looked at the embarrassing Xi Yu and asked differently: "You should be in the yamen at this time? You came back in time!"

"It was Shang Ning who came to me smartly! I asked her to look for the Second Prince again!" Xi Yu answered with a sigh of relief, thanking her for not continuing to figure it out, and not disliked the shabby and dilapidated room of her humble room.

"Did I cause trouble for you?" Xiao Tao saw his embarrassing and humble appearance in this mansion, and felt that when he came up, he had turned him upside down. Did he cause trouble for him?

"They didn't come to you. No matter what, you are my woman in name? Hitting you is like hitting me in the face!" Xi Yu said in a deep voice, trying to reach out to pour a glass of water for Xiaotao, but found that the pot was empty and threw down the porcelain pot with some annoyance.

After a little slow down, he handed the porcelain bottle to Xiaotao, and then said, "You wipe the place you can first. I'll ask Shang Ning to help you with medicine. I'll cook some water for you now!"

Seeing him leave the house without looking back, he got into the side room next to him. It was obvious that it was not only a place for miscellaneous items, but also a simple kitchen. I guess he had always been self-sufficient in the mansion, and no one was cooking for him!

"Oh!" Xiaotao sighed deeply, this poor kid!

Soon, thick smoke came out from the chimney in the side room, and Xiaotao no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he took off his dress and cleaned the wounds on his arms and legs.

Fortunately, the things that were easily healed to Lan Yun last time were still there. My poor child brought all the things that he could take away from the Shangguan Mansion, so that he would not have a short-term situation.

After cleaning up the wound, I applied the ointment left by Lan Yunjin on the wound, praying that this thing would work best, otherwise the scar I left in the slave field last time, and I had not yet recovered and had new injuries, so I would have become an ugly woman covered with scars!

A quarter of an hour later, Xi Yu walked in with a kettle, filled the porcelain pot on the table with water, and said, "There is nothing to eat in my yard now. Wait a moment, I'll go out to buy some later!" The voice apologized inside.

"Okay! Before you leave, call Shang Ning over. The wound on my back has not been applied to medicine yet!" Xiaotao was only wearing a middle-clothed shirt and lazily lay on the bed.

Xi Yu wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he left without saying a word!

After a while, Shang Ning came to the house and poured Xiaotao a glass of water. After Xiaotao had drunk it, Shang Ning started applying medicine and bandaging her.

"You are quite skillful in your movements!" Xiao Tao praised.

"Brother Jiu was always injured... Later, when I grew up, he didn't need me!" Shang Ning sighed, recalling the sad past of himself and Xi Yu, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Looking at the blood coming out of Xiao Tao's wound and staining Xi Yu's bed sheets, Shang Ning said as if reminding: "Sister Xiao Tao, can you get up? Brother Jiu is a little obsessed with cleanliness. I'll change the bed sheets for you?"

Xiaotao then remembered that Shangguan Yuxuan had once said that he had a cleanliness obsession. It seemed that he wanted to speak but stopped just now. It should be because he saw that he had dirty his bed?

This guy is not big, but he has a lot of things to do!

Xiaotao got up with a humming huff, Shang Ning quickly changed the sheets and helped Xiaotao lie down. He was next to her bed, fanning her with a cool breeze.

He started to nag with some thrills: "Sister Xiaotao, I'm really happy. After going around, you still entered Brother Jiu's door. Brother Jiu is actually easy to get along with.

However, in this mansion, they wanted Brother Jiu to be the same as them. Brother Jiu has always disagreed, so they would oppress Brother Jiu everywhere!

Now that you are here, they shouldn’t dare to bully Brother Jiu easily…”

"Your mansion is specialized in managing money, so there shouldn't be such a dilapidated and simple house!" Xiaotao was a little confused. Why could he be able to induce Xi Yu and give him good treatment, why did he have to suppress him everywhere, force him, and give him such a remote place?

Shang Ning looked around and said in a low voice: "Originally, Brother Jiu was in the same yard with Aunt Mu, but after all, Brother Jiu was already an adult later, and they said there was no spare room, so they drove Brother Jiu here!"

Then he whispered in Xiao Tao's ear, "I heard that Brother Jiu's yard is haunted, so no one dares to come, and no one renovates it for Brother Jiu. Only Brother Jiu who is unpopular, lives by himself!"

Xiaotao looked at the nervous Shang Ning and smiled slightly. She had seen this story. The house was actually haunted by Xi Yu, in order to better avoid people, go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and act!

"There are no ghosts and gods in this world! They are all lying to children!" Xiaotao gave the little girl a reassurance, afraid that she would never dare to come to play with her.

"Really? Ergou said that a female ghost in white he saw was hung in a side room and said that there was a little ghost jumping around the roof of the room!" Shang Ning became more and more afraid and couldn't help but lean against Xiaotao.

"Some things that are not necessarily true when seen, and hearing is not necessarily false when hearing! There are many phenomena that can be explained scientifically!

For example, the ghost fire that appears in the cemetery or wilderness at night is actually a faint green phosphorescence that burns after contact with the air. However, it is superstitiously called ghost fire!"

"What is phosphorus?" Shang Ning asked curiously.

"Phosphorus is a non-metallic substance. It exists in all cells of the human body. It is a necessary substance to maintain bones and teeth. It participates in almost all physiological chemical reactions. Phosphorus is also an important substance that causes the heart to beat regularly, maintains the normal function of the kidneys and conveys nerve stimulation..." Xiaotao told her patiently what she knew.

Shang Ning was amazed in his heart. Sister Xiaotao is so amazing that she knows everything!

The two of them wanted to see that they had endless things to say, chatting for a long time, but they helped Xiaotao get to know the people in the mansion and talked well. When they saw that it was already dark outside, they were still scared to say goodbye.

Xiaotao's stomach was so hungry that he was roaring. He thought to himself why Xi Yu hadn't come back yet. He simply got up with difficulty and came to the haunted side room that he had not had time to set foot on.

As soon as he opened the door, he felt a cold air coming to his face. Xiaotao couldn't help but shivered. Could it be... a ghost? After all, he could even walk into the book. Who knows what else would the author arrange to come in?

Having strengthened himself, Xiaotao stepped into the house, and as soon as he entered it, there was a kitchen, a larger earth stove and a small stove.

As I imagined, a man was messy in his own cooking, but everything was so organized and meticulous. Obviously, Xi Yu not only had a cleanliness, but also had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Going further inside, there is a washing room, with a large wooden bucket placed behind a screen in a corner of the room, and a washbasin is placed in front, and cloth towels of various sizes are hung on the horizontal rope above the washbasin.

The broken wardrobe was lying on the floor on the other side, but the clothes inside were still neatly placed there, with a piece of cloth covering it!

In the corner, there were some debris piled up neatly, and there was no point in sight!

Xiaotao turned around and returned to the kitchen, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found half a bag of rice, scooped out half a bowl, washed it, and started to cook porridge on the stove.

Suddenly, a small furry gray figure rushed out of the corner. Without seeing clearly, Xiaotao knew what it was!

"Ah!" With a scream, he jumped onto the earthen stove!

That's right, a tomboy who was not afraid of the world in his previous life was afraid of this shabby little mouse!

This scream made the servants who were already scared of this dilapidated and haunted little yard, even more hiding away!

"Second Young Master, I can see clearly. The concubine that the Ninth Young Master took was the female devil. The female devil and the second prince supported her. Even the eldest and young lady were helpless!" The servant who climbed Xi Yu's courtyard wall ran back to Xi Zhe's carved beams and painted buildings, and the exquisitely decorated courtyard, reporting to him.

"Continue to look at the other side. Let's not show up first. Let's wait until the situation is clear in the future! Don't let her see if you hear it?" Xi Zhe's face suddenly collapsed, and he repeatedly reminded his servants with lingering fear.

I am afraid that anyone who doesn’t have eyes will provoke that evil star female devil and suffer a loss!

"Yes, I heard it clearly!" The servant immediately nodded and bowed.

When Xi Yu returned to the small yard, he heard Xiao Tao's hysterical and hoarse crying. He thought she had suffered some harm, so he rushed into the side room without caring about anything else.

Looking at Xiao Tao who was crying like a little cat, waving his hands with his teeth and claws, as if you were not here, I couldn't help but wonder, is this yard really haunted?

Otherwise, how could this girl who was not afraid of the emperor or life and death be scared like this?

"Xi Yu, are you back from Xi Yu?" Xiao Tao looked at him in disbelief. His eyes were shining with light, like a person who had been thirsty in the desert for several days, seeing the water source.

Xi Yu looked at her in confusion and asked, "Yes! You are..."

But before he could finish his words, Xiao Tao pounced on him, like an octopus, with his arms tightly around his neck, his legs tightly wrapped around his waist, and his head desperately stuffed into his neck.

"Don't be afraid! What's wrong with you?" Xi Yu opened his arms unnaturally. In summer, the fabric was already very thin. He felt the softness on her chest and tightly pressed against her. His face turned red and he didn't dare to touch her at all.
