Chapter 230 Both sides are scared

"I'm so afraid of the dark..."

Wen Ning looked pale and clenched his handkerchief, his eyes full of panic.

In the past few days, she could only take a nap during the day. I don't know if there was enough sunshine during the day, but she slept very well.

No nightmares either.

At night, I will be trapped in a nightmare and unable to wake up.

I knew it was a dream, but I couldn't break free.

"He...he said he would come to marry me tonight." Wen Ning's heart was beating wildly.

The world is extremely harsh on women. If it were known that she met a man in her dream, the news would be extremely unpleasant.

Besides, it was hard for her to talk about it.

"I once went to the temple to ask for a peace charm, but I still couldn't stop him. He even sent me a betrothal gift..." Wen Ning walked to the bed and took out a pair of small paper figures from under the pillow.

The boy and girl were cut out of yellow paper, with two dazzling blushes on their faces.

The mouth was red and dripping with blood, and the smile on the paper man's face was terrifying.

"I can't even tell if it's a dream or reality. It's obviously a dream, so why does this paper doll of a boy and a girl appear beside my bed?" Wen Ning trembled with fear.

"Chaochao, I like your second brother. I just want to be his wife. If I can't escape tonight..." Wen Ning had a cruel look in his eyes.

"If I can't escape, I will risk my life and die with him!"

Lu Chao's angry little face was ashen.

The second brother went out to conquer the world, but she didn't even protect her future second sister-in-law.

Her Chaoyang Sword can hardly be restrained!

"Sister Aning, don't be afraid. Did he tell you his address?" Lu Chaochao asked.

Wen Ning's eyes turned red and he nodded.

"Yes, he asked me to go and identify his family. But I was afraid and never went." Wen Ning was embarrassed, and she didn't dare to tell outsiders. In desperation, she even told the two-year-old Chaochao.

"Chaochao, you are still a child. Sister Aning will find a way to deal with it. You should go back to school first."

Lu Chaochao muttered: "That won't work, you are my future second sister-in-law."

"I promised my second brother that I would protect Sister Aning."

Aning's face turned red, and Lu Chaochao took her hand and walked out the door.

"Yushu, help me take a day off."

Yushu made a sad face: "How can I invite this slave..."

Lu Chaochao climbed onto the carriage and climbed into sister Aning's arms: "Sister Aning, where is his home?"

Aning pursed his lips and took a deep breath: "In the dream, he told me that his family walked three miles east from the city. There was a huge locust tree at the entrance of the village. The name of the village was Dahuai Village."

"There are many households in the village, and there is a river in front of the door..."

"He kept asking me to go find him, but I was afraid and never went. Last night, he got angry..." In his dream, he asked her crazily, why didn't he go, why didn't he go...

"Dahuai Village? Three miles away?" Lu Chaochao touched his head suspiciously, it sounded familiar.

The carriage headed all the way out of the city.

Along the way, the maid kept asking for directions,

"Old man, how can I get to Dahuai Village?" the maid asked the old man who was on his way.

The old man was startled: "Dahuai Village? What are you doing in Dahuai Village?"

Wen Ning opened the curtain.

Seeing that the old man was in ragged clothes, the snow had not melted, and he was wearing a pair of open-toed straw sandals, he asked the maid to bring him a thick blanket and gave him some scattered silver.

"A relative lives in Dahuai Village and wants to visit his relatives."

The old man thanked her profusely and frowned when he heard that she was going to visit relatives.

"Girl, you are a kind-hearted person. Good people are rewarded. Go back quickly. You are afraid that someone has deceived you. This Dahuai Village disappeared many years ago."

"The tyranny of Emperor Xue of the previous dynasty caused widespread complaints and made the people miserable. That Dahuai Village was under the emperor's feet. Because of offending Emperor Xue of the previous dynasty, the village was massacred long ago."

"That area is now a mass grave. There are no residents anywhere... there are just rows and rows of graves."

"I'm afraid of that place when I pass by it. You'd better go back..." The old man, wrapped in a thick blanket, advised seriously.

"Some time ago, I heard that it was haunted."

"There is a ghost baby who died young crawling out of the grave. He is still holding a chain to lock his soul, and he wants to resurrect his soul as a dead ghost..."

"Girl, listen to me and go back. No fisherman dares to go to that place now." The old man shook his head in fear.

Wen Ning's face turned slightly stiff. She forced a smile and thanked him before sitting back in the carriage.

"It's actually a mass grave?"

"How could that be? Could it be that...he is really a lonely ghost?"

Wen Ning shivered violently when he thought of the lonely soul in his dreams every night.

"Anyway, we're already out of the city, why don't we go take a look? Sister Aning, don't be afraid..." Lu Chaochao held Wen Ning's hand and kept cheering her up.

Aning took a deep breath.

With a white face: "Go and take a look first."

After leaving the city, follow the path pointed by the old man and enter a trail.

Lu Chaochao felt that this road was becoming more and more familiar.

Isn't this the mass grave where she slept when she ran away from home? ? ?

"I've been here before..." Lu Chaochao whispered.

"There is a river in front, and there is a big locust tree by the river."

"Is it haunted or not? I didn't find it..."

"But there is a crazy old man who likes fishing."

"Last time I only said a few words to him, and he ran away crying and howling. It was so scary." Lu Chaochao looked frightened and patted his chest.

"Crazy, so scary, so scary..."

Wen Ning was amused by her: "So scary?"

"Yeah, he's howling...crying and screaming, who wouldn't be afraid..." The little guy spoke softly, which sounded particularly cute.

The carriage stopped under the big locust tree.

"The locust tree gathers shade, and there have always been legends of summoning spirits. It's really scary..." The maid stood behind Wen Ning, feeling quite worried.

Lu Chaochao pointed to the river: "Well, that's where I met Crazy Grandpa..."

Wen Ning looked pale at the large mass of graves behind him.

Her figure was shaky, almost unsteady.

"Miss, let's go back? Or, go to the Huguo Temple and ask the eminent monks to help?" The maid's teeth were chattering, and she saw countless graves in front of her eyes.

"The abbot of Huguo Temple will not return to Beijing until March. I can't wait any longer." Wen Ning squeezed the handkerchief.

"Sister Aning, what's that person's name?" Lu Chaochao asked.

"My name is Zhu Yonghe."

Lu Chaochao led the trembling Wen Ning forward.

Most of the mass graves are ownerless and solitary graves. Some of them have monuments, but they are in dilapidated condition.

Most of them don't even have monuments.

As Wen Ning walked, he suddenly looked around in panic.

"Daughter-in-law...Daughter-in-law, have you come to see me?"

"Tonight you are my bride, daughter-in-law... you are my chosen wife..."

Wen Ning suddenly raised his hands to cover his ears and looked around in horror.

"Who is it?" Wen Ning suppressed his fear and asked loudly.

The cold wind howled, picking up countless piles of snow.
