Chapter 188 A false alarm

The strange coughing sound was really terrifying. Although Niangzi Xin was worried about these little girls, he decided to leave the craftsman alone and go to the tent of the Central Army to seek Zhu Li's help.

She had no intention of looking for Gao Su, the person she really wanted to meet when she came to Jiuyuan this time.

No matter how much Zhu Li praised Gao Su, in her heart, the sturdy general who could even scare away women was just an embroidered pillow, which was not useful to her. I really don't know that she really wanted to leave.

Outside the big tent, the cold wind was gentle.

It was pitch black all around. I knew that I was in the military camp, and there were torches in the far Central Army camp, and the faint light could be seen from afar. But at this time, due to my anxiety, Madam Xin still couldn't see the road clearly, so she could only follow the feeling in her heart and walked outward.

Something happened again when I left.

The range of nearly 100 acres is large or small, and it should be possible to get out of this area in just a cup of tea.

But because of her anxiety, Madam Xin could only walk by feeling, and sometimes she would look around, waiting behind her, looking around, as if she was worried that something would follow her. She walked for more than half an hour and had not yet walked out of this area.

The more this happens, the more anxious she becomes, but the more anxious she becomes, the faster she is, and the more she turns her head and looks at her, so she will be even less able to get out of this area.

After another half an hour, Xin Qiniang was horrified to find that she had returned to the big tent again, and the "cough cough" sound came out again. In this cold and dark night, the sudden sound seemed extremely terrifying, which made her sweat fall down and her body tremble.

A strange and familiar word suddenly surged into her heart, "Ghost hits the wall", is this a ghost hitting the wall?

Thinking of that word and the terrifying legend, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and she had goose bumps all over her body, and she felt quietly.

At this moment, as time comes, it is already the situation around midnight. Now she is letting her go out, she is really afraid, but if she is letting her return to the tent in shame, she will not be able to let go.

In this way, Madam Xin was in a dilemma, standing alone in the wind, trembling, as pitiful as if her husband didn't love her and her mother-in-law didn't love her.

Xin Qiniang is a brave, strong, stubborn girl, and she is very persistent in doing things. Since she has no shame to return to the big tent, then rush out bravely. When the thought emerges, she resolutely turns her head and walks outside again.

This time she left even more panicked. About an hour later, she was shocked to find that she had left back. At this time, she felt a sense of collapse and wanted to rush into the big stake regardless of face.

Perhaps it was two strange things that made her feel a little disappointed, but she calmed down. Even if she really encountered the legendary ghost-hitting wall, at least she was still alive. This is her confidence. After calming down, she chose a torch as her goal and ran directly towards the torch.

Perhaps God had eyes, she finally walked out of the craftsmanship area smoothly. It took less than a quarter of an hour to walk out of the "haunted" area. Looking back at the dark area that had trapped her for nearly three hours. While Xin Qiniang was still scared, she also breathed a long sigh.

Finally came out, it was calculated.

At this time, the patrol guards also discovered her. They didn't know this little girl, but they knew the official uniforms on Xin Qiniang, and they knew that they were a Youcheng. A team leader on the patrol hurried over and said politely: "Is it Xin Youcheng?

, Why don’t you sleep in the middle of the night? Why do you run out and wander around?”

Xin Qiniang raised her hand to wipe her sweat for a moment and said urgently: "I have important matters to report to the general. I would like to ask this general to help me and take the official over."

At this time, if she was beaten to death, she would not dare to walk on the dark road alone, so she rashly asked.

"Meet the General?" The team was full of surprise. At the third update in the middle of the night, a female chief wanted to pay a visit to the general. It was difficult to think about whether someone wanted to be biased.

The team was looking at Xin Qiniang with a strange look and said quickly: "Okay, I'm happy to serve you, please come here."

This team leader, also a veteran of Shuozhou, had long been imagining in his heart while guiding Xin Qiniang.

As we all know, there is a woman in Shuozhou. I heard that she is still fighting with others in Hedong. There is also a beautiful Shu Zuo under the general. I heard that she was waiting for the general to speak and then she could be included in the room.

Now a Xin Youcheng suddenly appeared again. This little girl is not bad. Her tall figure, enchanting figure, and beautiful face. She may not be a general's wife again.

Xin Qiniang didn't know that this guy thought so much in an instant. When she saw that the team was agreeing, she hurriedly thanked her, as if she was leading a way, and she was such a great favor to her.

This team on duty has made me sigh and feel like a kind lady. The general is so blessed.

Zhu Li was not displeased with Xin Qiniang coming to ask for a meeting in the middle of the night. She quickly dressed neatly and met the lady in the handsome tent.

As soon as he saw Zhu Li, Xin Qiniang was like a lost child. She suddenly saw her relatives and said earnestly and anxiously: "General, General, our place where we live is haunted. Please bring some people and take out all my subordinates."

"Haunted?" Zhu Li was stunned when she heard this. For Zhu Li, whose soul came from later generations, he didn't believe that there were any ghosts and gods, but looking at Xin Qiniang's pale face, it didn't seem like she was lying again.

Suspicious for a while, Zhu Li had to ask about the situation in a gentle voice. Xin Qiniang did not hide it. She went out to investigate and could not find the figure. On the way to ask for help, she had been "hitting the wall" all the time. She was so sad that she had been talking about it.

The movement here also attracted Gao Su's attention. After a while, he rushed over, but Xin Qiniang didn't give him any good looks when he arrived.

The reason is very simple. Among the three, Zhu Li and she just arrived yesterday and were not familiar with the environment here at all. The person who is most familiar with this military camp is of course Gao Su, but Gao Su assigned them to the place where they were craftsmen's workshops. How could she give Gao Su a good face?

After listening to Xin Qiniang's statement, Gao Su was also a little thoughtful.

Zhu Li couldn't understand the coughing sound of Xin Qiniang, but he could explain one or two about the "ghost hitting the wall".

Therefore, he asked calmly: "Madam, when you came out of the big tent and came to ask for help, the first and second time, did you not choose a reference object, but did not use a specific thing as a guideline?"

Xin Qiniang didn't understand why, but she still nodded honestly.

"And the third time, the reason why Madam was able to get here was because you chose a torch as a reference to succeed. Is that true?"

Zhu Li's reminder made Xin Qiniang realize something was wrong and nodded again.

Seeing her admitting, a smile appeared on Zhu Li's face and said calmly: "Then Zhu can guarantee that the wife did not encounter a 'ghost beat'

wall'."

"Ah, but my subordinates were indeed in the darkness for two or three hours?" Madam Xin was so scared that she still insisted stubbornly.

Zhu Li raised her hand and pressed her down, indicating that she was calm and explained seriously: "People have two feet. Usually, the right foot steps are always larger than the left foot."

"If you are in the dark, without specific targets, you will walk around everywhere, and it is easy to circle around a small area. But as long as you choose a specific object as a reference, this will not happen."

"There is such a saying?" Madam Xin exclaimed in disbelief. After saying that, she looked at her feet carefully, as if she wanted to verify immediately whether the right foot was really bigger than the left foot.

But she thought about it carefully. The first time and the second time, she did not choose the reference object, and she went around two big circles. But the third time, she calmed down and chose a torch as the reference object, and she quickly walked out.

Doesn’t this fact just verify Zhu Li’s words?

Gao Su, who was standing on her side, looked at Zhu Li with a look of admiration. He hadn't thought Zhu Li was like this before, but the more he got along with this general, the more he felt that the other party was extraordinary.

For example, he heard the statement that "the step of a person's right foot is larger than that of the left foot" for the first time, which also explained how "ghost hits a wall" was formed over the past countless years, which made him admire him.

While admiring, he also turned to Xin Qiniang and bowed: "Sin Youcheng, can you ask for a question?"

Xin Qiniang was in a state of surprise when she heard Zhu Li's words. She glanced at him and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, what do you want to ask for advice or not."

Gao Su looked at the other party with annoyance and felt a little uncomfortable, but he was gentle, and this discomfort came and went quickly, and he said calmly: "Is the cough that the lady heard is like 'cough cough'?"

Hearing Gao Suxue's "cough cough" sound, Xin Qiniang suddenly trembled all over, turned her head suddenly, glared at him fiercely, confirming that the other party had no malice, but just imitating the secret voice, she nodded dissatisfiedly.

When he saw the other party admitting, Gao Su smiled and comforted him warmly: "Then you don't need to be afraid. If Gao guessed well, an uninvited guest came outside the wife's tent."

"Uninvited guest?" This is also called comforting people. Any uninvited guest that can't even be seen by ghosts. Xin Qiniang turned around, her beautiful eyes were full of anger, and she stared at Gao Su's face that was fascinating and lifeless. She suddenly had the urge to slap her in her heart.

"That's right, but this visitor is a very common small animal on the grassland. It is a hedgehog." Gao Su explained patiently, "The hedgehog likes to build its nest in a place where weeds are lush. When the wife and others come out to check it out, it is impossible to find a figure because it is not a human at all, it is just a cute little animal."

"The sound made by the hedgehog sometimes looks like sneezing, and sometimes looks like coughing, which disturbed the wife and others."

Xin Qiniang did not completely believe Zhu Li and Gao Su's explanation. In order to reassure the lady, Zhu Li and Gao Su took a few soldiers and went to Xin's big tent in person. A hedgehog was found near the big tent, which also verified Gao Su's explanation.
