Chapter 73: Day and night.
There seemed to be a servant behind him, following closely behind him. Hearing this, he said respectfully: "Young master is smart!"
... Pei Ling suddenly came back to his senses, only to see the dim palace lanterns before his eyes, and the various ornaments on the treasure grid, filled with light and death.
His expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he revived another memory of "Master Zheng"!
The mask can help him regain his strength at night; but during the day, it will aggravate the curse!
However, without wearing a mask, Xiao Zheng's memory will begin to recover step by step over time. The other party's destiny will gradually awaken and gradually replace his own!
He originally thought that this house would be safe during the day and dangerous at night, but now it seems that the actual situation is exactly the opposite!
Daytime is a dead end, night is their opportunity!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was suddenly a slight knock on the door outside the house.
A crisp and respectful voice came: "Master, my maid is here to bring you breakfast."
Hearing this, Pei Ling immediately came back to his senses, looked at the screen in confusion, thought for a while, and quickly said: "Come in!"
"Squeak."
The ajar door was pushed open, and a maid in a green cloth skirt turned around the screen and walked into the room with a food box on her arm.
This maid is not wearing a mask. She wears a blue shirt and blue skirt, with some vine-like patterns embroidered on the cuffs. Her hair is parted into a bun, and her hair is tied with a red headband and falls on her left shoulder. She looks about sixteen years old.
seven years old
He is young, has a round face and round eyes, fair complexion, and is delicate and naive. Looking carefully, he has a small, inconspicuous scar on his forehead, as if he bumped into it somewhere in the past, leaving a pea-sized depression.
After turning around the screen, she walked quickly to the table. After bending her knees slightly, she placed the food box on the table, opened the lid and said, "My maid will serve the young master's meal."
Pei Ling carefully observed the new maid, whose face was unfamiliar and completely different from the maid who served him yesterday. He just didn't know whether the maid in front of him was a living person or someone who had also been sacrificed.
Sacrifice?
However, the other party is not wearing a mask now, and we will wait until night...
Thinking of this, Pei Ling said the same as yesterday: "Please step aside first, I don't have to serve you. I'll come back to take care of you after an hour."
When the maid heard this, she immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"
Seeing that Pei Ling had no other instructions, she turned around and left.
After watching the maid go out and hearing her footsteps disappear, Pei Ling picked up the food and started eating.
Soon, he swept away the food in front of him, and with the warm porridge and vegetables in his stomach, his whole body suddenly felt a lot more alive.
Pei Ling felt that his condition had improved significantly, and his original condition had also eased.
However, he did not take it lightly. After putting down his chopsticks, he continued to sit at the table and wait.
As long as he feels any physical discomfort, he will immediately use the system hosting.
Time passed slowly, and after an hour, nothing happened.
"Bang bang bang."
At this time, the door was knocked again, and the maid's voice came: "Master, can the maid go in and clean up?"
Pei Ling nodded slightly and said, "Come in."
"Squeak."
The door was pushed open, and the maid in a green skirt walked in. She neatly packed away the dishes, wiped the table, and left with the food box in her arms.
Pei Ling watched her disappear behind the screen, and suddenly felt a strong wave of sleepiness.
After losing his cultivation, his physique has declined significantly. He has worked hard all night again, and even after eating, he has no energy to do other things.
"Get some sleep first..."
Thinking of this, Pei Ling took off his coat, then walked to the bed and lay down.
At this time, his sleepiness was almost overwhelming like a tidal wave. Pei Ling reluctantly pulled the quilt on himself and immediately fell asleep.
The palace lantern burns quietly, and the shadows in the room slowly squirm with the slight sway of the light. The brilliance of the pearls and jade is refracted in thousands of ways, bright and cold. In the dim room, it seems that some disaster or misfortune is brewing...
※※※
In the remote courtyard, the flowers and trees that were originally lush with branches and leaves were withered.
The pink bride was covered in bruises, her dress was torn and stained with blood, and she looked in a miserable state.
She stood under a flower tree that was almost cut into a stick, her face was splattered with blood, her clothes and sleeves were exuding a strong smell of blood, and her face was ashen.
Suddenly, the pink bride bent down and let out a fierce cough.
She was seriously injured this time!
The maid who was chasing her suddenly became much stronger for some unknown reason. Even though she was full of tricks, if it hadn't been for the rooster crow just now that made the maid suddenly retreat, she would have been killed by the other party!
"It seems that as soon as it gets bright, it will be safe."
"Be careful at night from now on. Do important things during the day!"
"Prepare the sacrifice first!"
Thinking of this, the pink bride took a short rest and regained some strength, then she got up and walked towards the embroidered building where she lived.
Soon, she returned to a small private courtyard shaded by flowers and trees. In the courtyard stood an embroidered building with carved beams and painted pillars.
The pink bride walked straight into the building and just sat down at the table when there was a knock on the door behind her.
The maid's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, the maid has brought breakfast."
The pink bride's face turned cold and she immediately said: "Come in!"
"Squeak."
The door was pushed open, and the maid in an indigo skirt walked in with a food box on her arm.
She wore a double bun with a freshly picked pink chrysanthemum on one side of her hair. The dewdrops on the petals were still wet, and there was a slight chill in the bitter aura.
This maid has curved eyebrows, big eyes, and a delicate appearance. Her eyebrows and bangs are scattered on her forehead. There is a natural and submissive expression between her eyebrows. She is the maid who chased the pink bride last night.
However, the other party didn't seem to remember what happened last night at all. After entering, he immediately curtsied and said respectfully: "Miss!"
The pink bride looked at her quietly, silently.
Seeing that the young lady looked a little strange, the girl was confused and asked slightly uneasily: "Miss, what's wrong?"
The pink bride calmly ordered: "Bring out all the food."
The maid quickly said: "Yes!"
As she said that, she put the food box on the table, opened the lid, and took out a plate of Ruyi rolls, followed by a cup of almond tofu, followed by various pickles, fermented bean curd, water chestnut cake, stir-fried cabbage sum...
Just when the maid lowered her head to fiddle with the dishes, poof!
There was a muffled sound, and a dagger suddenly penetrated his heart from behind.
The maid looked shocked, but before she could react further, there was another chill in her throat...
Puff puff puff puff...
