Strange Tales of the Ghosts

The beam pressed down, and with a "pop." Meng Zixuan spit out a mouthful of blood, held the earring tightly with his hand, and closed his eyes.

Only then did the maid Ping'er realize what she was doing. She hurriedly stepped forward, pushed away the wood, and shouted loudly: "Are you okay? Miss."

"...I'm fine...push him away quickly..." Dong Jinling was suppressed and could hardly breathe. After Ping'er pushed the pillar away, she pulled Dong Jinling out from under Meng Zixuan. Ping'er went up and down. He looked at Dong Jinling carefully and asked with concern: "Miss, are you injured anywhere?"

Hearing Ping'er ask this, Dong Jinling became angry. Normally, she was not kind to this girl. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Ping'er only cared about herself and did not care about her own safety, so she scolded: "You damn girl, how dare you say that?" , if it weren't for him, I would be dead!" As she said that, she pointed to the person crawling on the ground. When she looked at it, she realized that the person who saved her was actually the beggar that day.

"It's him….."

Ping'er also noticed it and was stunned for a moment: "Miss, it turns out that what the fortune teller said was true..."

"..." Dong Jinling also came to his senses. The fortune teller said that he was in for a big disaster, and he also said that he would do good deeds to overcome the disaster. He didn't expect that things would come true so quickly. He really let this beggar save him. Seeing the beggar vomiting blood, Dong Jinling lightly kicked him and asked Ping'er in a low voice: "Is he going to die?"

Ping'er stepped forward to check Meng Zixuan's breathing, and replied happily: "Don't worry, miss, he's not dead, he just fainted."

"That's good." After hearing this, Dong Jinling breathed a sigh of relief. Of course it was important that she was fine, but she didn't want to kill someone just after coming to this place. After all, her father was the former petitioner, so she would not cause any trouble to her father. alright. After thinking about it, Dong Jinling decided to leave and walked out of the mansion with Ping'er. As soon as he walked to the street, Dong Jinling regretted it. If that person died, it would be fine if he left. Now that person is alive, wouldn't it be a good thing? ? She originally wanted to buy a house with that person, but now that person saved her, if she saved that person's life again, maybe that person would be grateful and sell the house to her. After thinking about it, Dong Jinling felt that it was better to go back to the house. It would be better to rescue that man, so he told the maid: "Ping'er, go back to your house and call some servants."

"Miss, where are you calling the servant?" Ping'er came out to accompany the lady to buy things. Usually the lady buys things by herself. She didn't know what Dong Jinling meant by saying this now.

Dong Jinling took two steps back and shouted angrily: "You stupid girl, of course you went to the house to save people."

"Miss, he was supposed to protect you from disaster, why did you save him?" Ping'er lowered her head, glanced at Dong Jinling, and asked in a low voice.

Dong Jinling poked Ping'er's forehead and scolded: "If you are asked to go, just go. Why are you so long-winded?" After saying that, he walked to the abandoned house on his own. After Ping'er saw the lady leaving, he hurriedly went there. Rushing home, as soon as she entered the gate, she shouted for some servants. The servants knew that she was the young lady's personal maid, so of course they obeyed. Several servants followed Ping'er trotting all the way to the Meng family's abandoned house. Dong Jinling ordered his servants to take the beggar home and place him in the guest room. He also invited a doctor from the city to treat the beggar. Others didn't understand why the young lady brought back a smelly beggar. There were a lot of discussions, but Dong Jinling had no time to deal with it. After seeing the doctor check his pulse, he asked softly: "How is he?"

"He was seriously injured, but it's not serious. He can recover as long as he takes care of himself for a while." The doctor answered loudly.

When Dong Jinling heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. After asking Ping'er to give the doctor the money, he went to the drug store with the doctor's prescription. At dinner, Ping'er took the first bowl of medicine for Meng Zixuan and looked at him lying on the bed. Meng Zixuan, who was sleeping peacefully, Ping'er frowned.

"Miss, he stinks so much that he will stink up the whole house."

"That's right." Dong Jinling covered her nose, glanced at Meng Zixuan with disgust, and said loudly: "Then you should clean him up."

"Miss, I..." Ping'er is an unmarried girl, how could she help a strange man undress? But Dong Jinling had already gone out at this time. Ping'er knew that if she didn't do what Dong Jinling said, the consequences would be serious, so she thought of a good idea. Although this maid didn't have much money, fortunately she was the lady's personal maid. Usually, when the young lady is happy, she will reward herself with something. Those things are treasures to Ping'er. She also thinks that when she has money, she will redeem herself and find a good family to marry. If it hadn't been at this juncture, she wouldn't be able to part with it. So he carefully picked out one of the treasures, gave it to a servant, and asked the servant to do it for him.

The next day, Dong Jinling came to Meng Zixuan's room again. Meng Zixuan was indeed much cleaner. There was no dirt on his face, his hair had been washed and combed. The smell of sandalwood floated in the room, and there was no stench. Look. Looking at Meng Zixuan who was lying motionless on the bed, Dong Jinling was surprised to find that Meng Zixuan looked pretty good, and he was a little distracted. At this time, the maid Ping'er came in with the decoction. Seeing that Dong Jinling was lost in thought, she asked in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"No..." Dong Jinling blushed slightly. She is eighteen years old this year, but she has not left the cabinet. The main reason is because those high-ranking young men don't look very good. Now that her father has moved to Tingzhou, naturally There was no one he knew well. For the first time, Dong Jinling felt that a man looked pretty good, and there was a slight disturbance in his heart. Dong Jinling looked back and saw the medicine bowl in Ping'er's hand. She pretended to be indifferent and said, "Put the medicine here."

"Miss, the doctor said that the medicine should be drunk while it is hot, otherwise it will have no effect." Ping'er looked at Dong Jinling puzzled. Dong Jinling obviously hoped that Meng Zixuan would get better soon, but he didn't know why he didn't let Meng Zixuan drink the medicine now. .

How could Dong Jinling let a maid see through her thoughts, so she coldly shouted: "Let

Just go out when you go out, why do you come up with so many words? "

"I understand, miss." Ping'er bowed, put the decoction on the table, and then exited the door.

When Dong Jinling saw Ping'er go out, she walked over, locked the door, picked up the medicine bowl on the table and walked gently to the bedside. She sat on the bedside and looked at Meng Zixuan on the bed. She felt a fondness in her heart, which she had never done before. She, who was doing rough work, held the bowl and poured spoonfuls of medicine into Meng Zixuan's mouth. At this time, Dong Jinling had another idea. Although she had a good impression of Meng Zixuan, she didn't necessarily like it completely. She could use this method to get the house. Now she just wanted to use the trick to pretend to have a good impression of Meng Zixuan, make Meng Zixuan like her, and then make Meng Zixuan willingly give the house to her. As she thought about it, Dong Jinling actually laughed to herself. Make a sound.

After Dong Jinling fed Meng Zixuan medicine for several days, Meng Zixuan woke up. About half a month later, Meng Zixuan was able to get out of bed and walk around. During this period, Dong Jinling was kind to Meng Zixuan and kept Meng Zixuan in his house. She was taken care of and provided with food and drink. Meng Zixuan didn't even mention her leaving, so she stayed. One afternoon, Meng Zixuan couldn't sleep and walked around the yard alone. Dong Jinling looked for it for a long time before he found it. Looking at Meng Zixuan's back from a distance, Dong Jinling didn't know what Meng Zixuan was looking at so intently, so she secretly hid aside without appearing and watched carefully. Finally, when Meng Zixuan turned around, she saw Meng Zixuan clearly. Isn't the thing Xuan is holding in his hand the same thing that he has lost and failed to find? How could Dong Jinling not recognize her things? She felt secretly happy in her heart. Seeing Meng Zixuan's serious look, she felt that Meng Zixuan really fell in love with her, so she pretended to be here, walked out slowly, and asked softly: "Meng Zixuan The young master was originally here."

"Miss Dong." When Meng Zixuan saw that it was Dong Jinling, he hurriedly hid the earring in his hand. This was something he had fought hard to grab. How could anyone take it back casually? Even though Miss Dong was kind to him, After all, he is a guest, and he can only eat and drink in this place for a while. When he gets better, he has to leave and go back to live his life as a beggar. What can he do without any money?

Dong Jinling walked under the peach blossom tree and smiled sweetly. A peach blossom just fell on her head, which looked particularly touching. Meng Zixuan was a little trance when she saw it. After all, Dong Jinling was born beautiful. Dong Jinling felt embarrassed and asked with a smile: " What is Master Meng looking at?"

"I'm sorry for being so rude, young lady." Meng Zixuan also came from a wealthy family and was educated, so he naturally knew how to be polite. After handing over his hands and apologizing, he slowly raised his head, pointed at the peach blossoms and said, "The peach blossoms are blooming very well. "

Dong Jinling didn't expect that Meng Zixuan actually said that the peach blossoms were beautiful. He felt a little depressed, but on the surface he smiled and said: "It's rare for peach blossoms to bloom so well in Tingzhou. This peach blossom tree was moved by my father from afar. I didn't expect that Meng Zixuan would say that the peach blossoms are beautiful." Young Master also likes it."

"I see, no wonder it looks so good." Meng Zixuan nodded.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew down several more peach blossoms. Dong Jinling felt a little chilled and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng is in good health. The wind won't blow for a long time, so let's go back to the house and rest."

"Miss Dong is right." Meng Zixuan nodded with a smile. He was wearing the clothes sent by Dong Jinling. He looked like a gentleman from a well-known family and looked somewhat elegant.

Dong Jinling and Meng Zixuan walked side by side and returned to the room. After a while, the maid Ping'er brought fruits and a chessboard. Dong Jinling motioned Ping'er to put it down and asked Meng Zixuan with a smile.

"I wonder if Mr. Meng is in better spirits today. Can he play against Jin Ling?"

"It's rare for Miss Dong to be so elegant, so of course Meng will accompany you." Meng Zixuan is not a fool, and it is natural for him to do whatever the master wants him to do. After all, he has been eating and drinking in Dong's house for so long. Although on the surface he has a crush on Dong Jinling, Meng Zixuan knew what he really wanted to do to save his life. In order not to make Dong Jinling unhappy, Meng Zixuan would do it even if he didn't like it, so he took the chessboard and started playing with it seriously.
