Today is the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival, the time of year when the yin energy is the heaviest.
When the girl who fell into the water said that someone was pulling her feet under the water, many men who wanted to save her hesitated and refused to go into the water.
Everyone's house has three floors and three floors outside. It's noisy and lively, even more lively than when going to the market.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s so popular that things under the water have escaped, or maybe there’s nothing under the water at all.
With the sound of shouting, the girl who fell into the water took a few sips of water. After sinking into the water, she actually floated up again and floated along the river bank.
"Save people, save people quickly"
Everyone came to the shore, and a few young men braved the situation and pulled the girl out of the water.
After the girl was dragged ashore, she seemed to be still breathing, but not dead.
Hearing someone say he was still alive, Wu Xiaoming pulled Yinniang closer and looked into the river under the moonlight. He vaguely saw a black shadow in the river, like hair soaked in the water.
"Is there a doctor or one who knows first aid?"
The young men who were rescuing people asked the crowd around them.
Unfortunately, there was no doctor present. Only Liu Niang stepped forward and said, "I know first aid!"
The crowd quickly moved out of the way for Liu Niang, fearing that the rescue would be delayed.
Liu Niang was not timid, she called to the two women, and placed the girl who had fallen into the water on her knees in a lying position.
He pressed his knee against the girl's abdomen and slapped her back with his right hand. Soon he heard the sound of coughing water.
"Look, the water came out after coughing up. It should be fine."
People around were talking a lot, craning their necks to look at it in amazement, thinking that they would be blown away again when they go back.
Wu Xiaoming was also in the crowd. He couldn't help but glance at Yin Niang and whispered: "Your sister is really capable. Not only is she a good businessman, she can also save people."
"Liu Niang has been very good since she was a child." Yin Niang answered a little absent-mindedly, looking preoccupied.
Wu Xiaoming didn't pay attention. He looked at the girl who fell into the water through the moonlight, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
Under the moonlight, the girl who fell into the water had her hair disheveled, and no one could see her clearly.
A pair of white and tender calves were exposed outside the dress, and Wu Xiaoming suddenly discovered that there were two blue-purple scratches on her ankles.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough"
After a cough, the girl who fell into the water woke up and sat up from the ground without speaking.
I asked her where her home was, but she didn't answer.
I asked her what her name was, but she didn't answer.
The girl seemed stupid, sitting quietly on the bank of the river, her hair disheveled and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Mr. Wu, who rushed over, sent someone to ask the crowd who the girl was with. After asking around, no one knew.
After the quarrel for a long time, the girl had no place to go. In desperation, Mrs. Liu could only take her back. After all, her daughter saved the person. She could not save the person and then throw her to the shore and let her fend for herself.
Bar.
"Sister, I don't like her, she's cold." On the carriage, Qiniang kept hiding in Yinniang's arms, looking a little shy.
Similarly, the girl who was rescued kept hiding away from Liu Niang, as if she was afraid of Yin Niang and Wu Xiaoming.
These two strange phenomena made the three of them confused.
Liu Niang only thought that she had saved the girl and was close to her, so she said: "This sister was frightened when she fell into the water. She will be fine after a few days. Sister, don't be afraid."
Qiniang was still very scared, twisting and turning in Yinniang's arms, not daring to look at the girl.
Wu Xiaoming was not afraid. Instead, he was curious about how the purple scars were left on the girl's ankles. He couldn't help but reach out and said, "Don't move, I'll take a look at your ankles."
"Whoosh!"
Just like a frightened little white rabbit, the girl crawled backwards on her hands and knees, curling up in the corner shivering.
Seeing such a fierce reaction, Wu Xiaoming could only retract his hand and said to Liu Niang: "Liu Niang, look at her ankle. Is there a purple scratch on her ankle?"
Liu Niang moved gently and moved closer to the girl.
The girl was not afraid of Liu Niang and allowed her to roll up her skirt, exposing her little feet and the scratches on her feet.
Purple scratches were clearly left on the ankles, in stark contrast to the snow-white skin.
Liu Niang hesitantly stretched out her hand and compared the scratches with her fingers. She found that the two scratches matched her fingers very well, as if they had been scratched out with force.
"That's really strange!" Liu Niang looked at her for a while and couldn't help but turn around and said, "Did someone really grab her ankle after she fell into the water?"
When the girl called out, she said something was under the water and grabbed her ankle.
Along with the two scratches, a hint of gloom came over everyone's mind, and they felt that the night style tonight was extremely cold.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed, and the day of re-employment is getting closer and closer.
The girl who fell into the water never spoke or said where her home was, so she stayed in the Liu family.
The Liu family didn't like the girl, so they named her Qiu Hua and left her alone.
Every day, Qiu Hua stayed with Liu Niang, and she would go wherever Liu Niang went. Just as the Liu family didn't like her, she only liked to be by Liu Niang's side.
Privately, Wu Xiaoming asked someone to check Qiu Hua's identity, but nothing was found in the end. He could only send several nursing homes to the Liu family.
The peaceful days are still peaceful. What it was like before is what it is now. Except for the addition of the maid Qiu Hua, there is no difference from before.
As time passed, people became accustomed to Qiu Hua's existence and regarded her as a maid serving Liu Niang.
"Qiu Hua, where have you been? Come with me." Liu Niang held a small fan in her hand and called Qiu Hua's name while fanning herself.
Suddenly, Qiu Hua's head stretched out from the window, his movements were shockingly fast, and Liu Niang was startled.
"People are scary, they will scare them to death." Liu Niang stretched out her hand and tapped Qiu Hua's forehead, while Qiu Hua stood expressionless outside the window, as motionless as a piece of wood.
Seeing that Qiu Hua was as cold as ice, Liu Niang lost interest and waved her hand: "Put the pastries I made in a box. We will go see Master Wu later. These walnut cakes are his favorite."
"Don't go"
"What?"
Liu Niang stopped holding the fan in her hand, her face suddenly filled with surprise. She looked at Qiu Hua in disbelief and said, "Qiu Hua, you have spoken!"
"Don't go"
Qiu Hua remained expressionless, repeating the words "don't go".
This time, Liu Niang heard clearly and couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you go? Where don't you go?"
"Don't be afraid"
In addition to the word "don't go", Qiu Hua also said the word "fear".
Liu Niang frowned slightly, looked at Qiu Hua's pale face, and said hesitantly: "Don't go to Brother Wu's house, are you afraid of him?"
"Don't go if he's awesome," Qiu Hua said, and Liu Niang laughed.
Brother Wu was not great, so how could she fall in love with him? If she stayed away because of this, how could she marry her sister?
Liu Niang's eyes were soft, she took Qiu Hua's arm and whispered: "Don't be afraid, my sister has promised me that she will have a good talk with Brother Wu. When the time comes, my sister and I will marry together, and we will also marry each other."
You brought it with you."
"Sister Li is afraid, and so are you." Qiu Hua had difficulty pronouncing the words, eager to express something.
After living with Qiu Hua for half a month, Liu Niang could understand some of what Qiu Hua meant even when she didn't speak.
Seeing Qiu Hua's anxious look and a few intermittent words, Liu Niang became even more confused and said: "Sister is also very powerful. If you are afraid of her, should I be afraid too? What the hell is this? Sister is very nice to me.
Okay, why should I be afraid? And Brother Wu, you are afraid of Brother Wu, why should I be afraid too?"
"You and I are not afraid of dying." As he spoke more and more, Qiu Hua's pronunciation became more and more correct.
Liu Niang had nine of her ten orifices opened. She looked at Qiu Hua with a bored look on her face and said irritably: "What's different? Are you trying to sow discord? It's not like me marrying Brother Wu, right?"
Qiu Hua's calm face became a little more impatient, but he couldn't speak when he was anxious.
After gesticulating with both hands for a while, seeing that Liu Niang still didn't understand, Qiu Hua took her arm and walked out, coming to the bronze mirror where she washed her face.
In the slightly blurry bronze mirror, the reflections of two people stood side by side.
Liu Niang's intuitive hand was scratched and hurt, so she hit Qiu Hua's hand twice and said unhappily: "What do you want me to see?"
As soon as he said this, Qiu Hua opened his mouth and spat out, and a ball of sewage fell on the mirror.
The next second, I saw a flash of light in the mirror, all the sewage was absorbed by the mirror, and the reflected image changed from two people to four people.
There are really four people, stacked two by two, crowded in the picture.
Over at Qiu Hua, Liu Niang looked at it carefully.
He discovered that Qiu Hua was carrying a woman on his back. The woman's eyes were white and her hair was disheveled, and she was waving to him.
"Ah!" Liu Niang subconsciously wanted to scream, but when she saw herself in the mirror, she swallowed her scream.
A little girl, who looked to be four or five years old, was carrying a thirty-year-old woman on her back.
Liu Niang subconsciously opened her mouth, because this little girl was exactly when she was a child, and the professional woman in her thirties, wearing a black silk skirt, was clearly her before time travel.
"This child, this child" Liu Niang was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She only felt cold all over.
Because only she knows that this body should belong to a little girl, and she is just a dove occupying a magpie's nest.
So the question is, what is Qiu Hua, who looks like me, carrying on her back, and why is the little girl carrying her on her back?
Ghosts, Qiu Hua is carrying a female ghost, a dead ghost, or a drowned ghost with an upper body.
Qiu Hua should have died in the river. What came up was just a water ghost, and the one he saved was also a water ghost.
As for herself, looking at the white-collar beauty in the mirror, Liu Niang was silent for a long time, then picked up a chair and threw it at the bronze mirror.
