Chapter 420 Crying
After leaving the lady's boudoir, the three of them walked out.

Unlike before, Ming Xi was a little silent at this time.

There was a sudden noise from behind the courtyard wall, and Ying Shiyi's eyes froze, "Who is it?!"

When his voice fell, the person had already chased him out quickly.

Ming Xi saw a black shadow passing by before her eyes, and Ying Eleven was no longer there.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the past, secretly vigilant in her heart.

Is there anyone else in this house?
Yueli gathered Sumeifeng, took her hand and walked out very naturally, just after leaving the gate of the courtyard, he bumped into Ying Shiyi who turned around and turned back, and the other party was holding a dirty and thin cat in his hand .

Ying Shiyi raised his eyebrows, and moved his hand forward, with a helpless tone, "It's a wild cat."

The thin kitten was held by the back of the neck by him, and its paws waved feebly in the air a few times. It made a pitiful "meow", and the voice was also weak.

Most girls don't have much resistance to this furry animal, Ming Xi raised her hand and tentatively touched the kitten's head, it lazily raised its paw, but didn't scratch her.

It looked like he was hungry and weak.

"There are still cats in this place?" Ming Xi carried the cat over, and was about to put it into his arms, when he stretched out a hand to stop her movement.

Yue Li Su's eyelids twitched, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, his eyes were dark, and his tone was forbearing, "Are you sure you want to hold this little thing in your arms?"

Facing her blankly staring almond eyes, he narrowed his eyes and said concisely, with a hint of gnashing of teeth, "Dirty."

Ming Xi looked puzzled, ignored him, patted the kitten's head, curled her lips and muttered, "I'll hold it even if it's dirty, why do you dislike it?"

Yue Li Su: ...

Sensing the gloomy aura that was almost condensed on his master, Ying Shiyi shivered, and said bravely, "Madam, why don't I come to hug it? This wild cat doesn't know where it has gone, what is not clean Not to mention, in case there are bugs..."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Ming Xi pursed her lips, and gave him a disgusted look, "Besides, you have rough hands and feet, what if you hurt it?"

Thick hands and feet · Shadow Eleven: ...

A heart attack.

He stood a little farther silently while covering his chest, looked at Mingxi's face gently comforting the restless kitten in his arms, and then looked at his master with his cold face, his sympathy was inexplicably mixed with a hint of humor.

People are not as good as cats.

The corner of his mouth was half grinned when the other party's cold eyes swept over him, his tone was chilly as if it had been frozen.

"Any clues about what's going on here?"

Ying Shiyi choked up and shook his head honestly, "No."

"Then you're still so idle?" Yue Lisu dropped these words and snorted coldly, "If you're too busy, go clean the room."

The accommodation for tonight has not been packed yet.

With a flick of his sleeves, he stepped forward.

Ming Xi finished coaxing the restless kitten in her arms, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the other's back full of indifference and anger, she blinked in confusion, "Did he take the wrong medicine?"

Ying Shiyi thought bitterly, the medicine was not wrong, but he drank too much vinegar.

But he didn't dare, he was afraid that after he said it, he would not clean the room, but the hut...

Ah, he is just a shadow guard, why should he bear so much.

-

The pond is in the backyard, where there is a gazebo, which is very conspicuous.

Ming Xi was silent for a while as she walked over.

It is too modest to say that the pond is a small artificial lake, and the area is not small.

Sure enough, poverty limited her imagination.

The pavilion is in the center of the lake, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery.

There are large areas of lotus leaves all over the lake, which looks pleasing to the eye. In summer, the lotus blooms one after another, and the scenery must be extremely beautiful.

There are white railings on the surface of the lake, which are as high as a person's waist. The texture of marble is very firm. Ming Xi took a closer look, and it was quite difficult to accidentally fall into the lake.

That lady could never have stumbled and fallen into the lake.

However, too much time has passed, and the house has welcomed countless owners, and even if there are any traces left, they have long since disappeared with the passage of time.

She stepped into the gazebo, Yueli Su and Ying Shiyi were discussing something under a tree not far away.

Ming Xi pursed her lips, looking around boredly, just about to find a place to sit for a while, she was a little tired after walking for so long.

As soon as she sat down on the stone bench, the cat in her arms suddenly broke free and jumped down. Ming Xi was taken aback, and quickly stood up, only to see the cat quickly running in one direction, grabbing something with its feet at the corner of the wall. , Ming Xi couldn't see clearly.

Soon the cat came back with something in its mouth, put the thing in front of Ming Xi's feet, and looked at her as if asking for credit by licking its paw.

"Where did you pick it up? Is it dirty..." She leaned over and scratched the kitten's chin, listening to the sound of "wheezing and wheezing" from its throat, she couldn't help but be amused.

Turning her gaze, Ming Xi's gaze landed on the lump of unknown object, and she paused slightly.

It looks like a ball of paper...

She bent down to pick up the ball of paper, and unfolded it little by little.

A line of words was written on the ball of paper.

Ming Xi quickly went through the words in her mind, and looked at Yue Li Su's direction, but the other party didn't pay attention to her side, she tore up the note without changing expression, crumpled it into balls, and threw it back.

The note rolled silently into the pond.

She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, her eyes darkened slightly.

*
into the night.

Ming Xi sat on the chair, completely sleepless, she watched the faint, jumping and flickering candle flames, the candle flames cast long silhouettes on the wall, sometimes enchanting and charming, sometimes hideous like ghost shadows, her eyes dim and difficult to understand .

She was the only one in the room, under her strong request, Yue Lisu did not sleep in the same room with her tonight, even though she knew that doing so would arouse the other party's suspicion, Ming Xi had no choice.

Thinking of what was written on the note, she frowned.

At this moment, there was a faint cry of a woman not far away. It was inexplicably sad and intermittent, from far to near, and it was especially scary in the silent night.

Ming Xi's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a dark light flashed across his eyes.

She leaned over to blow out the candle, and the room fell into darkness for an instant. The bright moonlight spilled in from the window, barely able to illuminate the sky and the earth.

When vision is blocked by darkness, hearing becomes extremely clear.

Ming Xi hibernates in the dark, waiting patiently.

Darkness tends to breed fear, she thought she would be terrified, but she was unexpectedly calm at this time, probably because she knew that Yue Li Su was next door.

The courtyard door seemed to be blown by the wind, or pushed open by someone.

The old wooden door made a creaking sound, slow and heavy, making your teeth ache.

The cry was getting closer, and the voice was mixed with unspeakable sorrow and sorrow. Those who heard it were sad, and those who listened were weeping.

Ming Xi guessed, who is the owner of this voice?

that lady?

But didn't the other party die a long time ago? Could it be that he still couldn't fake his death?
And even if the other party is still alive, he should be in his 20s or almost 30 years old now.
