At midnight, everyone in the Tian Mansion had gradually fallen asleep.
Hua Xiaogu worked hard all day and was very tired. After taking a bath, she didn't even dry her hair, so she fell on the bed and fell asleep. Baitao was afraid that she would have a headache when she woke up the next morning, so she sat on the bedside and gently
She wiped her hair.
The candle danced slightly, and it was already late at night. As usual, there were watchmen or servants watching the several doors of Tian Mansion, including the main entrance. The young men watching the night were drowsy, and they
Even the servants patrolling around the mansion with lanterns yawned again and again.
The person guarding the door today is Old Man Xie, who has been working in this mansion for decades. He was originally the gatekeeper of the side courtyard, and today he was entrusted by someone to stay overnight. At this moment, he was folding his hands and shrinking his neck.
He leaned against the door, sat on a small stool and squinted his eyes, almost going into confusion.
"Dong dong dong!" Suddenly there was a fierce slamming sound on the door. Old man Xie was frightened and looked towards the door with wide eyes.
"Is there anyone? Open the door! I'm from the ruined temple in the south. I'm looking for Yong'an!" Following the knock on the door, a boy with a shrill voice rang out. Old man Xie frowned and stood up.
"Who is it? The masters are all resting!" Old Man Xie shouted through the door.
"Don't care who I am, just go find Yong'an and tell him that I'm from the ruined temple. I'm afraid something will happen to the person he asked us to watch during the day!" Someone yelled like this from outside the door.
.
Old man Xie scratched his head in confusion, feeling a little hesitant.
He naturally knows who Yong'an is. Hua Xiaogu once recovered from his injuries in this mansion and has a pretty good relationship with Old Man Xie. Later, he met a younger brother outside and it was Yong'an. Now Yong'an was supposed to live in the side courtyard.
, but they thought it was too far, so they simply slept in a room with Tian Lu.
"Dong dong dong..." "Open the door! Hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to save that person!" There was a loud knock on the door, as if it was really urgent.
Old man Xie didn't dare to delay, so he simply shouted outside: "I'm going to find someone, you wait first!" and hurried to Tianlu's room.
Not far from Tian Lanqing's yard is the small house where Tian Lu lives. At this moment, Yong An is lying on the bed in a "big" shape, but Tian Lu, the real owner, has been squeezed to the bed, right on the edge of the bed.
If it doesn't fall off, it will look awkward.
"Little brother Tianlu? Little brother Tianlu?" Old man Xie shouted in a low voice from outside the door, fearing that his voice would be too loud and disturb the master's rest.
Tianlu was quite alert when sleeping. Old Man Xie only shouted two or three times before he opened his eyes.
It didn't matter if he fell asleep, but when he woke up, Tianlu just moved and immediately rolled under the bed. He stood up and patted the dirt on his body, turned his head and glared fiercely at the bed, and then opened the window.
"Uncle, what's the matter with you?" Tianlu didn't know Mr. Xie. After all, he was just the gatekeeper of the side courtyard. A high-level slave like Tianlu would never keep such an unimportant person in his mind.
"Little brother, someone called at the main entrance, saying they were from the ruined temple in the south and were looking for Yong'an." Old man Xie whispered to Tianlu.
Tianlu's mind was confused for a moment, and then he suddenly woke up.
"In the ruined temple? Looking for Yong'an? Did you say something?"
Old man Xie hesitated and said hesitantly: "It's... the person you want to protect, are you afraid that you can't protect him?"
When Tianlu heard this, he broke into a cold sweat. He suddenly turned his head and stretched out his hand to shake the person on the bed.
