The sky gradually darkened, the door was pushed open, and the personal servant Awang walked in, and saw Xiao Kexiao leaning on the couch, looking extremely haggard.
"Second Young Master didn't sleep well last night." Awang frowned, "If you don't want me to report it to the princess, please ask Dr. Wang to come and take a look."
Xiao Kexiao shook his head gently: "It's useless. No matter how many doctors I've seen, it's no use."
Awang stepped forward and helped Xiao Kexiao wash up while asking, "Did the second young master have another nightmare last night?"
"I must have disturbed you." Xiao Kexiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Serving me is really embarrassing for you."
"Don't be embarrassed, I've been serving you since I was a child, and I won't leave even if you chase me away."
"I know, I won't drive you away." Xiao Kexiao sighed, "You are the only one left by my side."
Awang looked at Xiao Kexiao and couldn't help but feel sad. Because of his poor health, the second young master rarely had a yard and seemed to have been gradually forgotten over the years. Although he didn't say it, he was actually very sad.
"Since Miss Seven came a few days ago, no one has come here." Awang muttered in a low voice, "Now even the young masters rarely come. They often go to Miss Six's Yicai Garden."
Xiao Kexiao stood up, staggered a few times, and felt a little dizzy. Awang quickly supported him.
"Awang, my sixth sister is young, so it's normal for my eldest brother and the others to care about her often."
"The seventh lady is even younger, but I don't see any young master caring about her."
After Awang finished speaking, he saw guilt flash across Xiao Kexiao's face, and he hurriedly said: "Second Young Master is different from them. You have been in poor health recently and haven't even gone out of the courtyard."
"Okay, let's do whatever we can and should do, and stop talking behind our backs."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Xiao Kexiao pointed to the chair: "Sit there and open a crack in the window so I can get some air."
Awang helped Xiao Kexiao sit down, walked over and gently opened the window, and then listened to Xiao Kexiao's instructions to get something from the cabinet in the corner.
Open the daily sweat towel and see that what is wrapped inside is the two talismans and the small bottle that Xuan Bao gave to Xiao Kexiao.
"Second Young Master, where did these things come from? I don't think I've seen them before." Awang said as he handed the things to Xiao Kexiao with both hands.
Taking it over and playing with it, Xiao Kexiao said, "Miss Qi gave it to me."
"It looks like a magic talisman." Awang poked his head and took a look, "It means Miss Seven is thinking about you."
"Xuan Bao gave me a peace charm like this before, and I slept very well that night."
Awang also remembered: "Yes, Miss Seven came over early that morning, and you hadn't gotten up yet. In the past few years that I have been serving you, you slept the most deeply that night."
"Yes, there was some black ashes on the bed that morning. Xuan Bao said it was the peace charm that spontaneously ignited, so he gave me this one again."
"The Peace Talisman will burn on its own. Miss Seventh must be joking."
Awang's hands and feet were busy making the bed. The bedding was clean and soft. He hoped that the second young master could have a good sleep tonight.
Xiao Kexiao sat in a chair and looked thoughtfully at the thing Xuanbao gave him in his hand. His serious face appeared in front of his eyes. What she said that day suddenly seemed to be very clear, as if it was ringing in her ears.
"Second Young Master, the bed has been made. Regardless of whether you can fall asleep or not, you can go up and relax for a while, just to rest your mind." Awang came to Xiao Kexiao and whispered.
Xiao Kexiao nodded and returned to the bed. He looked at the things still in his hands and then at Awang, and made a decision in his heart.
"Awang, please go out, I don't need you to wait on me tonight."
"Second Young Master, I'll be here to serve you. If you can't sleep, it's convenient for you to have a chat or drink some water."
"I can't sleep well, and you have stayed up for so many days. Go back and have a good sleep tonight, so that you can serve me better tomorrow."
After hearing this, Awang hesitated a little, but was finally persuaded by Xiao Kexiao. He wanted to find a servant to serve him instead, but his son rejected him because he didn't like unfamiliar people.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xiao Kexiao immediately stood up and spread all the liquid in the small bottle given by Xuan Bao in front of the bed.
Strange to say, looking at the small bottle, the liquid inside can be spread all over most of the ground from the front of the bed to the door.
Returning to the bed, Xiao Kexiao looked down and observed carefully. Within a moment, the area where the liquid had been sprinkled dried, and it looked the same as before.
With a chuckle, Xiao Kexiao couldn't help but laugh at himself for being stupid. How could he still believe what a five-year-old baby said? If it was true that there was a ghost in the house as she said, he had never heard any movement, let alone anyone said he had seen it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Kexiao threw the two talismans given by Xuan Bao to the pillow and fell on the bed.
Within a moment, Xiao Kexiao fell asleep quickly, perhaps because he was very tired due to lack of sleep during this period of time.
Worried, Awang secretly came back and took a look outside the door. When he saw that his young master was motionless and looked like he was asleep, he finally went back to the house to sleep.
Cold! Xiao Kexiao shrank involuntarily in his sleep, as if he was in an extremely cold place. Half asleep and half awake, he could feel the thick quilt covering his body.
Especially my face, it feels cold. Is it because the window is not closed?
Xiao Ke became more awake, and it was like this again, this familiar feeling, and then he would feel unable to move, and then it would be difficult to breathe as if life was flowing, until he suddenly woke up with a feeling of suffocation.
Strangely, unlike in the past, there was a warm breath coming from the pillow, and Xiao Kexiao opened his eyes suddenly. When he heard the sound of the wind and the sound of the window hitting, he breathed a sigh of relief. The window just now was indeed not closed.
Just when he was about to call Awang, Xiao Kexiao remembered that he had been driven back to sleep by him.
It was so cold, Xiao Kexiao turned his face and looked at the window, wondering whether he should get up and close the window.
Xiao Kexiao accidentally looked in the direction of the door. The door opened. Did Awang not close it properly when he left and the wind blew it open?
Suddenly, Xiao Kexiao's eyes widened open and he clenched his hands. He almost suspected that he was deceived by the doubts in his dream.
Footprints, a woman's footprints, two women's footprints, only the footprints but no figure. At this moment, the two footprints moved quickly from the direction of the door to the direction of Xiao Kexiao's bed.
It was eerie and the cold air was getting thicker. What Xuan Bao said at that time came to mind. "Two female ghosts." Xiao Kexiao subconsciously grabbed the talismans originally thrown next to the pillow with one hand.
The peace talisman can keep you safe. Xiao Kexiao turned pale with fright. In his panic, he didn't know which peace talisman was in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, the two female ghosts were already close to the bed. Xiao Kexiao stared at the two lines of footprints that appeared out of thin air and came to them. He closed his eyes and stretched out his hands while exclaiming.
"Xuanbao, ghost!"
Xuan Bao, who was learning magic from an experienced Taoist master in space, knew something was wrong as soon as she heard it. After so many days, she almost forgot that her second brother's place was haunted.
