Chapter 1: The cold roar of the moon in the night

8days ago Historical fiction 5
The waning moon is as thin as a jade hook, shining with a spotless brilliance as silver frost, making the thick and ink-like sky; the stars in the distance are continuous, and the twinkling fluorescent light is as clear as water, slowly flowing in the deep dark curtain...

Under the night sky, the streets were empty, and the bluestone road stretched deep into the ground. The rows of houses on both sides had already been out of lights, leaving no noise during the day.

dumb!A strange cry suddenly sounded like Li Tong whispering in his ears, breaking the night covered by silence. The barking of dogs around him followed the roar, and there were also a few yells of annoyance from the awakened person and the cry of the baby.

If you look up at the sky at this moment, you can't see the silver moon and the sea of ​​stars. Only the miserable and stormy night fog is constantly surging, as if a huge and boundless black claw is ripping all this wildly.

The empty streets were filled with cold winds, and the branches beside the road were blown by the fan, and the shadows of the branches were twisting on the stone slabs.

The strange and gloomy wind passed through the streets and alleys, and after several twists, I came to a house and sneaked in through the hollow carved windows of wooden windows.

As the strange wind penetrated, two thin tall oil lamps in the house instantly lit up the painting candle. A faint halo came out from the bright red oil paper. The originally dark room was covered with a layer of blood, but it became clear and you could see the display around you clearly.

This is obviously a woman's boudoir: the dressing table made of rosewood is decorated with exquisite bronze mirrors; in the middle of the house is a big rosewood case, with a simple piano on the case and a flower bag filled with small flowers of various colors; over the flower fan screen, there is an ancient small tripod in the corner, and the embered sandalwood still lingers and exudes fragrance.

On the side of the wall, a soft soft wooden bed carved with exquisite floral ornaments is particularly eye-catching. Through the hanging gauze tent, you can see the double embroidered floral silk quilt on the bed wrapped in a graceful body.

In the silent night, the beauty who should have fallen asleep peacefully seemed to be enduring great pain at this time. Even though her delicate body was curled up in the bedding, she could still be seen trembling uneasyly, and sometimes she made intermittent sobs.

A huge force seemed to be condensed in the air, rolling up the silk thread, making it messy, and even half of it slipped to the ground.

Just as the lamb to be slaughtered was stripped of the last layer of protection, resistance was futile, and the woman under the silk embroidery was exposed to this strange environment and finally saw her true appearance.

I saw that she was still young, and her appearance was quite beautiful and extraordinary. Her face was like blooming night-blooming flowers, but her eyelashes trembled uneasyly, her eyebrows were frowning like willow leaves, and her clear and bright pupils released a terrified mood.

The cherry lips, as delicate as petals, opened lightly. The woman tried to shout, but couldn't make any sound. It was strange. She was clearly empty, but she was like a heavy object pressing on her body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move at all.

The silk quilt had already slid down to the side, and the apricot yellow tulle skirt could not hide the woman's delicate curves. She had shoulders cut, her waist was as plain as she wanted, her peaks stood tall and erect. Under the hazy gauze dress, the charming snow color appeared and faintly appeared.

I don’t know if my tall chest was swaying up and down due to fear, and the amplitude became more and more obvious. I was shocked to see that the plump and round snow peak sometimes became flattened, and sometimes returned to its original state by reliance on its elasticity. It was changing various shapes out of thin air, as if someone was playing with pinching and rubbing!

The woman was shocked. Since she was awakened by the weird evil spirit, she felt that her body was extremely soft and numb and she was out of control. At this moment, the feeling of being blasphemed came from her chest. It was obvious that there were evil things at work and she was defamed!

In an instant, I felt a chill and insult in my heart. I had never suffered such shame in my innocent body, and my whole body felt as uncomfortable as insects and ants.

But as the feeling of being touched by foreign objects on her chest became more obvious, what the woman had never expected was that her body, which was originally cold due to fear, actually had a strange hot flash.

If someone else is there, you can clearly see that although the woman's face is frightened, her pretty cheeks on both sides and her slender and fair neck behind her are all red, which is so bright that it looks very beautiful.

Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie heard a hoarse and low strange sound, but I couldn't tell which direction it was sounding. It seemed that the withered yellow nails were scratching the old door panel, and it seemed that an evil ghost was hiding in the corner, grinding his teeth and trying to suck blood.

Jie Jiejie The strange sounds are endless, like a sharp blade penetrates into the heart, making people shudder.

Jie's strange voice was even more sharp and unpleasant, and he was creepy when he saw people. As the woman was about to collapse, her pupils tightened in her bright eyes, as if she had seen some incredible scenes. The fear on her pretty face was replaced by an incredible expression.

The candlelight swayed. Although the swaying light and shadow blurred the field of vision, you could still see clearly a purple smoke with blue smoke in front of you, spreading and expanding like boiling hot water, and then slowly gathered together to form a body similar to a skull...

It is no longer possible to tell whether this horrifying scene was an illusion or reality. The skeleton that appeared inexplicably, surrounded by the remaining small amount of purple-green smoke, countless disgusting red nematodes appeared on the surface, constantly squirming and crawling. After looking closely, I realized that they were bloodshot after blood.

The bloodshots were entangled together, and they melted into each other, turning into a piece of flesh and blood with clear texture. Not only that, the outer layer also formed a layer of smooth skin, but the skin was bloodless and faintly exposed to the dead purple color.

This strange evil spirit, unexpectedly turned into a human head. Although the facial features have not yet been fully formed, they can still be vaguely identified and should look like a child.

The woman trembled suddenly, and her heart felt like a bell and drum beat, which had an inexplicable resonance. For some reason, she did not have the imagination of her soul flying and trembling, but she felt that the stingy and disgusting child's head in front of her looked familiar.

But no matter how she thought, she could not find someone in her memory that could overlap with the head in front of her. The woman stared at the ball of head in a daze, and the facial features gradually became three-dimensional, and her face began to become clearer.

The sense of familiarity is getting stronger and stronger, but I can't remember who it is. The contradictions and anxiety caused by the integration of various complex moods are broken, but all these knots seem to be able to be solved by just identifying who it is in front of me.

The mysterious head, the facial features of the face are raised and increased at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the eyes, mouth, nose, and eyebrows can all be seen in the prototype. It may be possible that the true face can be seen clearly in just a few breaths!

You...who are you??The truth was about to be revealed, and the woman became nervous and shouted in her heart eagerly.

Just as she was about to witness the true face of the strange ghost, the woman suddenly felt a trance, and the surrounding environment was spinning, and everything she saw became distorted, and everything turned into nothingness...

Miss?Miss?What's wrong with you? Wake up, wake up!The woman suddenly heard the anxious shouts in her sleep. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and realized that it was Huang Ying, the personal nanny responsible for serving her, who was constantly shaking her body.

Huang Ying was about fifty years old and had an ordinary face, but her eyebrows were kind, which easily made people feel close. She was wearing a yellow coat and staring at her lady Yunxi's pretty face intently. She woke her up and breathed a sigh of relief. Her nervousness finally eased.

Aunt Huang, what's wrong?Yunxi asked softly, although the voice was light, it was extremely sweet and clear, and she was surprised. Why did this always careful nanny come to disturb her tonight, but she was not angry.

Miss, I was scared just now. You kept making strange shouts in your sleep, and you couldn't really hear anything you were shouting, but I heard it in other wing rooms, so I immediately came over and woke you up.Madam Huang Ying truthfully told what she had just experienced.

I?Strange shout?How could such a ridiculous thing be possible?Yunxi was quite surprised. Although she refused, she actually felt a little convinced that what Huang Ying said was not false.

Really, Miss, I have served you for so long, have you ever heard me talk nonsense?Seeing that the lady was a little disbelief, the nanny was anxious and hurriedly spoke.

Yunxi said nothing, lowered her head to ponder, and only then did she notice that cold sweat had oozing from her smooth forehead. She seemed to have had a nightmare just now, and the remaining fear had not completely dissipated, but strangely, why did she not remember anything after just a moment of awakening.

Jie... Hehe?In an instant, somehow, Yunxi seemed to have grabbed a fragment of the memory, as if she had remembered the strange sounds she heard in her dream, and murmured and repeated them involuntarily.

Yes, that's it, Miss, you were just shouting "Jie... Sister, Sister"!Miss, did you think of your sister in your dream?Huang Ying heard the lady's murmur and replied loudly.

What nonsense is that you are not unaware that your mother only has a daughter like me, and I don’t have brothers and sisters, how could you shout “sister” out of thin air? You must be sleeping in a daze!Yun Xirou's face was slightly red, her expression was ashamed to speak and she thought she could really make a strange sound, but out of her girlish nature, she was unwilling to admit it. She turned her eyes wisely and spoke a few words.

How could I be confused when I sleep? I think it was probably because the lady had dreaming symptoms, so she shouted and talked nonsense.Huang Ying was stunned for a moment, and after a few breaks, she joked that she had watched Yunxi grow up since she was a child and served for many years, so she was not afraid of the lady, and this was a common thing.

Go and go, you have the dreaming syndrome.Yunxi replied angrily.

If you didn't make a dream, how could you make the bed so messy? Look, the silk quilt is almost falling to the ground.The yellow oriole picked up the embroidered silk quilt that had been dragged to the ground, brushed his little hand a few times, and then carefully covered Yunxi.

OK OK OK I won’t talk to you anymore. It’s late at night. Aunt Huang quickly go back to her room to continue sleeping, but don’t fall asleep tomorrow morning and can’t get up!Yunxi looked at Huang Ying coming to serve her late at night, feeling warm, and at the same time she felt ashamed of waking her up, her tone became much gentler.

Well, Miss, please go to bed soon, I will take my leave first.The nanny also yawned, saluted Yunxi, then put out the wicks of two oil lamps, closed the door and left.

The room returned to its quietness and returned to its usual shape, but Yunxi couldn't calm down. It seemed that many strange things had happened tonight, but she couldn't figure out the clues.

Especially that nightmare, the terrifying feeling was still there. I forgot the glare, but why did it make people care so much? Yunxi felt a little inexplicably melancholy, as if she had lost something extremely important.

Lying on the bed and tossing and turning, how could she feel sleepy? Yunxi simply got up and got out of the bed, wearing a long gauze dress, her ink hair was like a waterfall, leaning alone by the window, the moonlight poured on her graceful figure, making her skin as clean as warm jade, and a light and aura.

Yunxi raised her pretty and elegant face and looked at the sky, dazed and dazed. The exquisite carved patterns of flowers, plants, birds and beasts on the edge of the window gave the night sky a frame. The moon was still the same moon, lonely and cold, but there were more layers of blue light that could not be seen clearly.

Jie, Hehehe... sister?Yunxi said again the strange sounds he had heard in his dream, and the words he mistook when the nanny Huang Ying listened to the Cha, and compared the homonyms between the two.

The coldness rose late at night, and the cool breeze suddenly came. Yunxi shivered, her delicate body trembled slightly, as if it was throbbing from the depths of her soul, and her thoughts were interrupted by this.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, if you catch a cold, you will be in trouble.Yunxi shook her head, sighed lightly, stretched out her soft hand to close the window sash, and then turned around and moved towards the bed.

She didn't notice that the wind outside the window had not stopped, the branches and leaves in the courtyard were shaking, and the moonlight squeezed into the house from the gap between the two wooden windows, and a twisting shadow of the tree was reflected on the floor. For a moment, it looked like a hideous smiling face.
