After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 20 Strange Dreams
Mallow and the others seemed to be unaware and fell asleep.

'Boom boom boom! '

The knocking on the door became louder and louder, Yao Shouning sat up involuntarily and asked:
"who is it?"

There was a knock on the door outside, and after a long time, a soft and charming voice finally came in:

"The little girl's surname is Hu, she is from Jiangning, her mother died early, and she came here to join her relatives..."

After speaking, there was a thin sobbing sound, and while the clothes were rubbing, she seemed to wipe away her tears, and said:

"Unexpectedly, I'm here, it's already late at night, I want to ask a kind person to open the door, let the little girl stay overnight-"

As soon as the woman's voice fell, for some reason, Yao Shouning was covered in sweat.

She always felt that this sentence was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, and before she could answer, she heard the woman begging again:
"Open the door, open the door-"

Before Yao Shouning could speak, the voice continued:

"The little girl's surname is Hu, from Jiangning, her mother died early, so she came here to go to her relatives..."

"Miss, make it easy, open the door, let the little girl stay overnight, and leave tomorrow..."

The more Yao Shouning listened, the more strange it became. Just as he was about to call out the Mallow—the people outside seemed to be unable to wait for her answer, and the closed door was suddenly pushed open with a creak.

A girl in a white filial attire strode in and shouted with a smile:

"Cousin, it's me, Hu Miaozhen."

The appearance is not very clear, but the red mole between the eyebrows is particularly clear.

"I am coming."

As soon as the red mole appeared, Yao Shouning vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere, and it was indeed very familiar.

Paradoxical memories flooded into her mind, and she 'remembered' the scene in her dream. The girl who was kneeling in front of Koyanagi's couch crying bitterly indeed had a red mole on her forehead.

She remembered that she had been looking forward to her cousin for a long time, and at this time she finally came.

Under the joy, Yao Shouning seemed to be bewitched, and was about to open his mouth to call someone——

For some reason, in a daze, she remembered something.

Her mother had said that her uncle's name was Su Wenfang, so how could her daughter have the surname Hu?
"nonsense!"

Thinking of this, Yao Shouning finally realized that something was wrong and retorted loudly, "My cousin's surname is Su."

As soon as she finished speaking, she sat up.

With this reprimand, Yao Shouning only heard a sharp and unwilling howl in his ears, and the illusion was instantly broken.

The drowsiness has all faded away, and the mind seems to have cleared away the obscuring cloud and mist, and is much more awake at once.

"What's wrong?" Mallow, who was sleeping in the outhouse, heard the sound and got up in a daze:

"Have you had a nightmare, miss?"

Yao Shouning gasped for breath, remembering the previous scene, and for some reason, his heart lingered in fear.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and through the window one could see that the sky was blue outside, and it was not yet dawn.

There was a knock on the door and the woman's figure disappeared, only the sound of Mallow's 'Xixi Susuo' about to get out of bed.

"It turned out to be a dream..."

Yao Shouning let out a long sigh and wiped his forehead.

There was fine sweat on his head, soaking his clothes and hair, sticking to his body, causing some discomfort.

The quilt looked a little chilly because of the sweat, so she couldn't help shaking twice, pulling the quilt to wrap herself even tighter.

"What time is it?"

Frightened by this dream, Yao Shouning lost sleepiness and couldn't help but ask.

Mallow quickly turned on the lamp, and a light appeared behind the screen, dispelling the gloom and cold in the room.

She came in with a coat on and yawned:

"It's still early."

There was still sleepiness on this girl's face, and she couldn't open her eyes:
"Why did you get up so early, miss?"

"I had a strange dream."

She has a free and easy character and doesn't take everything to heart. Mallow has served her for many years, and she has never seen her wake up in the middle of the night.

Immediately, I couldn't help being a little curious and asked:
"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed..."

Yao Shouning hesitated.

She remembered the previous scene in the dream, and she felt cold on her back when she came in to see the mallow palm lamp again. She couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on her arms, intending to suppress this strange feeling.

Well, how could she dream of such a scene?
After thinking about it, the woman in the dream claimed her surname Hu, and when she pushed the door and came in, she looked like the cousin she had dreamed about before, which was really too weird.

Yao Shouning remembered the story told by the storyteller at Wangjiao Teahouse half a month ago, and now, thinking about it, the plot of the story seemed to overlap with her nightmare.

"Could it be... Could it be that after I really listened to the story, I was thinking wildly?"

She remembered what Liu Shi said, and she couldn't help but have doubts at this moment - otherwise, how could she dream of Xiao Liu's death twice in a row?
Such a dream is somewhat unlucky.

"What are you talking about, miss?" Mallow heard her whispering to herself, sat down and asked.

"I'm afraid I've fallen for evil..." Yao Shouning murmured back to her.

This sentence startled Mallow - but the first thing that came to her mind was Liu Shi's face, even if she only imagined it, it was fierce, causing the poor little girl to shudder:

"You can't say this nonsense. The wife may have to scold someone when she heard it."

"exactly."

Yao Shouning reacted to what he said, and also thought of the consequences of Liu Shi's hearing of his words, and shook:

"I think I need to see a doctor. Maybe I heard the story of the storyteller before and was shocked."

In this case, Mallow is acceptable.

She reached out and touched Yao Shouning's back, only to feel that the vest was cold and the clothes were slightly moist, so she hurriedly put the light on:
"Oh, it seems that I was really frightened and had a nightmare. I was sweating profusely. I can't wear such wet clothes again."

Mallow suddenly forgot her previous curiosity and hurriedly got up to look for clothes. Yao Shouning calmed down and began to think about the dream.

The last time I dreamed that the Xiaoliu family would not survive the winter solstice, and this time I dreamed that the Xiaoliu family had already died.

It is now in the first ten days of November. According to the time of last year, there are still about ten days before the winter solstice.

If after the winter solstice, there is no news of Xiaoliu's family, Yao Shouning decided to urge Liu's family to send someone to Jiangning to ask.

She made up her mind and was no longer as restless as before.

After all, I was still young, so I wasn't too afraid of such a thing. After I was completely sober, I recalled the previous story, and even felt a little interesting.

The woman who claimed to be surnamed Hu in the dream, but seemed to look the same as Su Miaozhen didn't know why she knocked on her door, she shook her head, and whispered 'hehehe':

"I'm not a scholar surnamed Wang."

After this toss, she couldn't fall asleep either, so she simply turned over and got up to wash up, so she had already packed up and came to Liu's room as soon as the day was bright.

At first, Liu Shi only thought she was eager to watch the fun, but she didn't notice the strangeness in her expression.

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, they boarded the carriage that had been prepared for a long time.
