At first it was An Hongdou, who was visiting the garden with her sisters, and suddenly came to a small corner to the west of the courtyard.But seeing the environment there is quiet, there is an imperceptible path, along which you can vaguely see a few low houses.

An Hongdou asked casually, and the maid Xiangxiu next to her told her that there was nothing there. I heard that it was the place where Mrs. Bu kept the relics of the ancestors, and they were all worthless objects that she was reluctant to burn.An Hongdou didn't pay attention either, but one day, when An Yisheng heard that Cui Xiucai and Mr. Bu were old acquaintances, he remembered the west corner of the courtyard that day, and relayed Xiangxiu's words.

Young people are full of energy, and they can't hold back their energy.

An Yisheng was a student and had heard of this master Bu more or less, but he was not interested in the life experience of this master Bu.In his opinion, Master Bu's body and bones were the same as his son's, but he was a little stronger than his son, so he died young after all.

On that day, the Bu Mansion followed the custom of going to the Lotus Nunnery to pray for blessings on the [-]th day of every month, and most of the women in the whole mansion were dispatched.

Bu Qinghe also had some signs of illness. Whenever spring and autumn and seasons changed, he would feel tightness in his chest, palpitation and shortness of breath, and then he would cough and bleed.Although I took the prescription of Master Du Nan, it can only be temporarily suppressed and relieved.By this time, he had no energy left, he was groggy, and just fell asleep.

An Yisheng was naturally inconvenient to bother Bu Qinghe, and Chunfen also took advantage of this opportunity to go home on leave.The embroidered red in the outer room also looked listless, and An Yisheng didn't want to take her with him either.He walked around the room alone for a while, read a book by the desk, and wrote a few words with a pen. He finally felt bored, so he prepared to go out for a stroll.

Xiu Hong dozed off, and when he saw him coming out, she immediately cheered up: "My lord, you want to go out?"

"Well, just go out for a walk, don't follow me."

Xiuhong said nothing, got up and picked up a cloak to put on him, but An Yisheng refused, so Xiuhong didn't do anything else, but told: "Just hang out in the garden, this courtyard is full of women, go Wrong, it’s not good to enter any house.”

Xiuhong's voice was a bit rough, and she spoke with a bit of an earthy accent. When she made a sound, she immediately scared away a group of birds on the tree outside.

An Yisheng smiled at her: "Since I came here, the rooms in this courtyard have been locked more tightly." He Wuxin and Xiu Hongpin strode away after speaking.

The garden of Bu Mansion is actually quite big. It was rebuilt from a natural hill, and you can still see some ancient trees and rocks that existed in the beginning. Some cobblestone trails.The servants here are extremely tired, because the terrain here is high and low, it is dark and uncertain, and it is difficult to clean and clean.

People who come here are punished for doing something wrong.

An Yisheng sat in the long pavilion for a while, surrounded by rustling, birds and insects, but no living things could be seen.There are only a few small sparrows jumping among the carefully cultivated flowers and plants, but they only stay among the flowers and plants and never leave. An Yisheng guesses that these sparrows may only love this kind of flower.He also heard that there were strange beasts in the garden, but he didn't know them. He asked a watering servant, but the man shook his head and said, "The former strange beasts disappeared once they were put in."

Maybe the little beast was shy and afraid to meet strangers, An Yisheng thought so, and walked out of the garden from east to west in a blink of an eye.

The west side of the garden is relatively quiet, and there are not many houses. The masters will not live in this kind of place where the west is exposed to the cold winter, and they usually live in it for the servants to use as woodsheds.

An Yisheng passed by these few houses, all of them were low houses, hidden in a willow forest, where the flowing water in the garden twists and turns, bringing the old willow leaves out of the Bu mansion.

An Yisheng suddenly remembered what An Hongdou said when he visited last time, and as he thought about it, he saw a path covered by a few willow trees. Looking closely, the path was also made of cobblestones. Maybe there were fewer people walking, and it was gradually covered by green grass. On the vine, there is no real content.An Yisheng stepped onto this trail unknowingly, and he didn't know why, as if someone was calling him in a trance, and he felt like the wind around him was blowing him there.

The willow trees in autumn are like old people in dusk, hanging full of listless and crumbling yellow.

The winding path is secluded, and the flowing water blocks the road in front, but there are three low houses on the other side of the river bank, and the low houses are juxtaposed. This place in the west is gloomy and not at all popular.The doors of the three low rooms were locked tightly, and the dark windows were opened, as if everything had been sucked away, the light nearby was much dimmer, and there was no wind.

An Yisheng felt a chill on his back, and an inexplicable chill came up all over his body. He rationally decided not to wade across the river, even though he had already seen some stone slabs in the water, which might be the former bridge piers.

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, so he decided to turn around and go back the same way, but the moment he turned around, he felt a gust of wind, to be precise, it was a kind of movement of air currents.A few dead leaves on the ground flew up, turned around a few times and fell down again.

someone?What animal?

The running water was flowing quietly, but there was no sound of splashing. The willow branches seemed to be frozen, and the leaves did not move.

An Yisheng didn't stay any longer, pulled out the thick willow branches, and walked forward quickly. He didn't know what he was guilty of, what he was afraid of, but he was driven by instinct to leave here as soon as possible.

He was striding forward, but he always felt that there was something following behind him. The more he wanted to go, the more he could feel the entanglement of these willow branches.

What the hell is it!Play tricks.

He was so annoyed, his father fled, his mother committed suicide, and now he was living in another family, but he still had to be entangled by something unknown, which made his long-term depression turn into anger.At that moment, his anger overcame his fear, he grabbed the willow branch in front of him to protect his chest, and turned around angrily.

Yet nothing.

What a wicked place this place is!He threw down the willow branch angrily, and turned and left without feeling his chest raised.

However, he was still scared and fled.

When he just turned around, he saw an old face with sores all over his face and warts on his head. He couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. It looked like an old monster who had lived for a thousand years. The old monster opened his mouth and drank, The voice was sharp, "Who's brat dared to sneak into the Bufu..."

An Yisheng ran away before he could finish speaking, and ran all the way back to his residence.

Xiu Hong was startled by him, and hurriedly poured him a glass of water.After An Yisheng drank in one gulp, he picked up the teapot next to him and took several swigs from the spout before his heart calmed down.

An Yisheng didn't tell Xiuhong about it, he decided to figure out the mystery slowly in the future.Xiu Hong raised her lips, as if she wanted to ask, but she stopped. She knew the young man's temperament, and seeing that An Yisheng didn't mention it, she didn't ask any more questions.He just said: "My lord, slow down, be careful of choking." But I thought in my heart, I will go out and find out later, and I will know why.

An Yisheng had a dream tonight, and it was a bad dream.

In the dream, there is boundless chaos and endless jumping.That old face with sores and warts appeared repeatedly. He dreamed that he didn't know who died, surrounded by a blurred face. He could only kneel beside the coffin and burn paper money; on both sides of the coffin were two red candles, as huge as With thick arms, there is a person in red clothes next to him. It should be a woman. When An Yisheng was wondering who this woman was, the woman slowly turned her head.Only then did he see clearly that this woman in red was dressed in red makeup, like Bu Qingxian and An Hongdou. The woman's posture was stiff and her face was weird. She smiled at him, revealing her white teeth...

At the same time, he also heard a familiar and sharp voice: "Who's kid dared to sneak into the Bu family, and then entered the door of my Bu family. From then on, he is a member of my Bu family..." He saw Someone lifted the coffin...and someone pushed him to the side of the coffin. At this moment, he clearly saw that the person lying in the coffin was - Bu Qinghe.

"I do not!!!"

An Yisheng was sweating profusely, and woke up with his heart beating faster. The embroidered red in the outer room was startled awake. He hurriedly put on his coat, lit the lamp and asked, "Young Master, is your dick?"

She couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart any longer, and said again: "My servant saw that the young master was hurrying in the afternoon, and his expression was flustered, but he encountered something unclean."

An Yisheng didn't know how to explain it, so he just told her about the encounter in the willow forest in the west courtyard in the afternoon.

Xiu Hong lowered her head, she wanted to say that it used to be the former residence of Mrs. Bu, that is, the first three low houses of Mr. Bu's mansion. Both Mr. Bu and Mr. Bu's relics were there, and no one went there for a long time.But now is not the time to say this, Xiuhong heard from his words that he met a terrifying person.So he reacted quickly, and said: "So it's about this. Nanny An has been in charge of the West Courtyard for a long time. She is old and sick, and she has a scary image, so Mrs. Bu asked her to take care of the rooms in the West Courtyard. Keep an eye on it, to prevent some wild beasts from running in and making a nest."

"Nurse An usually doesn't go out very often, so it's a coincidence that you bump into this, why don't you ask him to come and accompany you tomorrow." Xiu Hong smiled to herself.

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't. If I don't see him anymore, it's my luck." After hearing this, An Yisheng felt unlucky, and took the time to relax, but he was flustered.

"However, don't go to that place in the future, and don't mention today's matter to others. The old lady will be unhappy if she hears it." Xiu Hong suddenly said to him seriously.

"Yes, but there's nothing to go there..." An Yisheng was frightened in the afternoon, had nightmares at night, and exhausted too much energy. Just as he put his heart down, he felt a little sleepy.

Xiu Hong stayed with him for a while, saw him fall asleep, and left just now, thinking about asking Aunt Zhilan next to the old lady for instructions tomorrow, trying to hide the matter from the past.

On the second day, An Yisheng didn't sleep well, and was a little tired. After Xiuhong waited for him to wash up, he heard the noise outside, scattered people coming and going.

An Yisheng and Xiu Hong looked at each other, Xiu Hong went out, and came back after a while: "Master's illness... I have committed a disease."
