Yanyan walked back to the east chamber with cheerful steps. Although she slept in the same room with several palace maids, she didn't feel anything unhappy. On the contrary, she slept in a room alone without even having anyone to talk to.
.
With a muffled sound of "squeaking", Yanyan walked in. They were all asleep, but there was still a weak lamp on the table. She walked carefully to her bed and looked at the
Looking at their sleeping faces and the lamp left for her on the table, I felt very warm in my heart and thought they were very cute.
With a happy mood, Yanyan lay on the bed. To be precise, it was a kang, which could sleep six people. It was the first time she slept on the kang, and she felt very novel. She vaguely felt something moving near her feet.
, the nerves tightened in an instant, and blood suddenly rushed to the scalp like an avalanche. The numbing feeling made people break out in cold sweat.
The skin all over his body was trembling fiercely. Yan Yan jumped off the bed without stopping. He felt that the blood all over his body was boiling with fear. His heart was beating so high that it almost jumped to his throat.
She held her wrist tightly with her hands, not daring to look at what was on the bed. With the faint light, Yanyan stared at the place where she had just slept with her eyes wide open. The numbness on her scalp made her nerves tense.
As she stood, she seemed to be able to see that the quilt on the bed was slowly shaking, wave by wave, and she felt like something was moving inside. The tingling feeling seemed to still stay on her feet, and when she pulled them up,
There was nothing on the hem of the skirt, but that feeling lingered in my heart and couldn't go away.
"Yanyan, what are you doing? You're still up so late." A confused voice came from the kang, which seemed to have been awakened by the noise she made. She raised her head and looked with half-lidded eyes.
Hold her.
Yan Yan, who had not yet recovered from the shock, stared blankly at the person waking up on the bed.
The palace maid simply sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Yan Yan. She was shocked and shouted loudly, "Yan Yan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you looking so pale?
And I sweat so much.”
After being called out by her, the palace maids who were sleeping next to her woke up one after another. They all looked at her with a little annoyance and complained one after another.
"Why don't you let me sleep? It's so late."
"Yes, the yelling and screaming in the middle of the night makes it difficult for people to sleep peacefully."
"What are you two doing? I was sleeping well, but you woke me up. If you can't get up tomorrow, it's all your fault."
"Really, I was kind enough to leave a light for you, but you were lucky enough to wake everyone up when you came back. It's such a kindness that goes unpaid."
Hearing the complaints, Yanyan came out of the fright, pointed to the sleeping position on the bed, and said with lingering fear, "There seems to be something crawling on the bed."
"ah--"
Suddenly there was a loud shout in the room, and all five people fell off the bed. They hurriedly got up from the ground and hid behind Yan Yan. They stared in the direction of Yan Yan's fingers with their eyes wide open, not daring to take a breath.
I saw the quilt on the bed shaking slightly from time to time, and a few small sounds coming from the quilt. Everyone watched with wide eyes, and no one dared to move forward to see what was going on.
"Ruoxin, go and see." Suddenly, one of them pushed the palace maid next to her forward.
"No, I'm afraid. You'd better go and see Xingyu." The palace maid who was pushed hurriedly stepped back, shaking her head, and pushed the palace maid next to her.
"I can't, I'm afraid. Hongyu, go and see." Xingyu was pushed and pushed Hongyu again.
"No, no, I have always been timid, as you all know. Chuntao, you are usually the bravest among our sisters, so you should go and see." With that, Hongyu pushed the palace maid who was woken up first.
Chuntao couldn't stand them pushing each other and she shouted, "How can you see clearly in such a dark place?" As she said that, she turned back to the table and lit all the lamps.
The room suddenly lit up, Yan Yan followed them, and they all stepped back, getting further away. Unable to avoid the curiosity in their hearts, they all stretched their heads forward, trying to see clearly what was on the bed.
thing.
"Really, all of them are so timid." The maid of honor held the candlestick in her left hand, found a stick from somewhere in her right hand, and slowly approached the bed. Although she was brave, she looked at the person on the bed.
The quilt was moving, and her heart was beating a little.
Not daring to release all her anger, she watched quietly, and Yanyan also watched with bated breath as Chuntao approached the bed.
"Chun Tao..." Yan Yan was just about to call out to Chuntao, but he saw that because of his shouting, the stick in her hand fell to the ground with a muffled "bang" sound, which was even more serious in this quiet and tense environment.
Shocking. The people behind suddenly let out a scream, and Chuntao also ran behind Yan Yan. She was obviously frightened, and her voice was slightly trembling, "No, I'm afraid. No matter how brave I am, if I see
This crawling thing appears inexplicably on the bed, I wish I was a coward."
There was another small sound coming from the bed, and everyone stepped back again, staring with wide eyes, not daring to take a step forward.
"I'll go and see it!" Yan Yan said firmly and turned to look at them. In fact, she hoped in her heart that one of them would suggest it and go see it by herself. She felt the tingling feeling on her legs again, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
He kept playing the drums, his heart was in his throat.
"Yanyan, come on!" It was the palace maid who initially pushed others, looking at her firmly.
"Yes, come on!" The rest of the people agreed.
Seeing them looking at her firmly, no one offered to go for her. Helpless, she had no choice but to turn around, pumped herself up with clenched fists, picked up the stick on the ground, and walked towards the bed
go.
His feet felt like they were filled with lead. It was difficult for Yan Yan to lift his feet. Even though the distance was short, it took Yan Yan ten times longer than usual to cover it.
The stick was finally able to touch the quilt, and Yanyan stopped. No matter how he lifted his feet, his feet seemed to be trapped and he couldn't move forward.
The voice in the quilt was heard more clearly. Yan Yan vaguely remembered that he had heard that voice, but he couldn't remember it all at once. He only knew that the voice was very familiar.
"You are so bold and evil, why don't you hurry up and catch me." Yan Yan roared, closed his eyes, reached out and used a stick to pick up the quilt, and at the same time dropped the stick and ran to join them.
Following the movements of Yanyan's hands, they all closed their eyes and screamed.
After a long time, they slowly opened their eyes, and were immediately disappointed. It turned out that what Yanyan had opened was not their own quilt. As if they were frightened, the things on the bed swarmed even more violently.
"Yanyan, what's wrong? What happened?"
There was a concerned cry from outside. Yan Fang recognized the voice as that of Qi Feng, the seventh elder brother. How could he be at the place where the palace maids lived so late?
Yanyan hurriedly walked over to open the door. She really didn't dare to lift the quilt again. Now that she was fine, she could ask him for help. He showed up just in time this time.
As soon as he opened the door, Qi Feng grabbed her shoulders and said, "Yanyan, are you okay? I just heard the screams in the room. What happened?" He grabbed her eagerly and looked left and right, scanning his eyes.
The other maids standing together.
The maids obviously did not expect that Brother Seven would appear where the maids were sleeping at such a late hour. They forgot to salute for a moment and looked at him blankly.
"Don't worry about so much, please do me a favor first." After saying that, Yanyan broke away from his hand and pushed him to the bed, pointing to the quilt that moved from time to time, "Hurry up and help me look inside.
Something is moving?"
"What scared you so much?" Seeing the panic in Yan Yan's eyes, Qi Feng turned his head and looked at the place pointed by her finger, feeling that something was moving rustlingly inside the quilt.
"Hurry up and take a look for me." Yanyan eagerly wanted to know what was in front of you, and the numbness lingering in her heart made her feel numb. When she thought of herself sleeping in it before, she felt...
Afterwards, I felt more and more itchy and uncomfortable.
Soon after, Qi Feng reached out and lifted up the quilt she was pointing at. Yanyan closed her eyes quickly before she could see anything. A small snow-white object appeared in front of her eyes. Yanyan was pleasantly surprised. She recognized it.
This little animal is called Snowball. It is also a mouse, but compared to the common little mouse, it has a long tail.
The maid next to her suddenly screamed.
Qi Feng took the stick on the ground and went up to hit the group of things. He immediately brought the stick back with all his strength. Because at this time, Yan Yan had already run under his stick, hugged the group of small animals, and was busy shouting.
, "Don't hurt them."
Throwing away the stick in his hand, he grabbed her body, with a look of annoyance in his eyes, "Do you know if I hadn't stopped just now, the stick would have already fallen on you."
"Didn't you take it in?" Yanyan winked at her and smiled, then picked up the little animal on the bed and touched it gently. She had raised this little animal at home before, and she initially picked it up because of its name.
She liked them, so she raised a few snowballs and would hold them and talk to them every day when she had nothing to do.
"Do you like it that much?" Qi Feng smiled bitterly.
"Yes." Yanyan nodded, with only snowballs in his eyes. Seeing them, he suddenly felt like he was home.
"Then just keep it. I was scared to death just now, but now I'm so happy. Get some rest early, I'll go back first." After saying that, he ignored the palace maid who looked at them in surprise and walked out directly.
, disappeared into the night.
Just as Yan Yan was about to say something, she saw that his figure had disappeared. Looking at the dark night, she smiled faintly, and then looked down at the little guy in her arms. Their round eyes stared at her, as if they were frightened.
He shrank into her arms.
The rest of the people were scared to death at first, and now seeing how cute the little guy was in front of them, they all gathered around and reached out to gently touch the little guy's fur.
The little guy was touched like this and quickly retracted his head into Yanyan's arms.
