The noblewoman's cheeks turned red and she stammered, "How … dangerous … can it be outside …"
Although Shangguan Wan had a sweet tongue and could be coaxed by anyone, there was another side to her. She could also be sharp with her words.
"Hmph, if it's not dangerous, why don't you go out and try? You don't have to go far. Just carry a few pieces of firewood from the door. "
Shangguan Wan's words made the little girl speechless. She did not dare to go out and carry firewood.
Wan Xiu 'er became the peacemaker when she saw that they were arguing. "Stop it. Can't you both take a step back and give in to each other? Everyone was frightened today. Who wouldn't be hungry? I'll carry the firewood from the door. "
Jiang Pengji had been gone for half an hour, which was a little more than a quarter of an hour.
In such a short time, the firewood that had been carried in earlier had been burned to the ground by them.
If she did not go out and bring in more firewood, the bonfire might be extinguished in a while.
The wooden bolt on the door was a little heavy. Wan Xiu 'er moved it with the help of another noblewoman.
She opened the door with both hands and carefully closed it.
She ran from the hot room to the cold night wind outside. Wearing a spring gown, she could not help but shiver a few times.
She tried hard to suppress the creepy feeling. After searching for a while, she frowned and picked up a few thick pieces of firewood. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net]

When she straightened up and was about to enter the house with the firewood, she vaguely saw a few blurry shadows moving at the entrance of the village.
In an instant, a huge chill ran from the soles of her feet to her whole body. If she had not encountered so many things that day, she would have fainted from fear.
She was so scared that she could not move her legs. She suppressed her fear and secretly bit her tongue. She used the pain to get rid of the nervousness and fear she had just felt. She did not dare to directly scatter the firewood in her arms. What if the sound attracted the ghosts?
Then, the noble ladies saw Wan Xiu 'er enter the room with a pale face and trembling gums.
After entering, she quickly stuffed the firewood into the arms of the noblewoman closest to her. Before the noblewoman could react, she closed the door with both hands.
"Quick, quick … Bring the door bolt over … Outside … There's a ghost outside …"
She said it almost in tears.
Hearing this, the noblewomen who were still sleepy were instantly startled awake. They hurriedly moved the wooden bolts and bolted the door.
"Phantom Shadow? Don't tell me … Liu Lanting was right? "
Thinking of the other party's restless words before he left, the group of noble ladies felt their hearts beating violently, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.
"Isn't her mouth quite sharp? Perhaps it was true … Otherwise, how did those thieves … How did they die? "
"But … should we put out the fire? Isn't this light a little too eye-catching? "
"Aren't ghosts afraid of light? If we put out the fire and they come in through the door, what will we do? "
At this time, even if there were noble ladies who were unhappy with Jiang Pengji, they hoped that she would return as soon as possible.
However, what they were worried about still happened.
The shadow on the paper window was getting closer and closer. Even the most cowardly of them knew to bite their own hands. No matter how scared they were, they could not make a sound.
Outside the house, the group of people who had been mistaken for ghosts were also extremely embarrassed. They were even more embarrassed than the noblewomen in the house.
"There's a village deep in the mountains … Let's take Fourth Langjun there to rest and ask if there's a barefoot doctor …"
Their clothes were messy, and their hair was crooked. The weapons in their hands were stained with blood, and many of them were injured.
Although it was rare for a barefoot doctor to be found in a small village like this, they were at the end of their rope. In order to avoid being hunted down, they had mistakenly entered the mountains for two days. Fourth Master was injured and had caught a cold. He was unconscious from the fever, so they could only rely on their luck.
However, when they followed the light to the door of the village, their expressions changed.
"You guys go check it out first …"
There was only one house in the village that was abnormally bright, and it was so quiet that not even the crowing of chickens or the barking of dogs could be heard.
In a village like this, there would always be hunters, and hunting dogs were a must.
How could it be so quiet when it sensed strangers approaching?
The young man's mind was spinning. The two guards who had been sent out returned quickly, and the contents of the report made him pale.
"Feng Langjun, I'm afraid this is not a normal village. It's a bandit's stronghold. All the bandits have been killed, and the time of their deaths is estimated to be less than two hours. The culprit is very strong, and his method of killing is frighteningly simple … "
The young man called Feng Langjun pursed his lips. He looked at Fourth Master, who was being carried, and quickly asked, "Is there someone in the main house?"
"Yes, and quite a lot of them … Could it be … the bandits?"
The young man licked his dry, pale, and chapped lips and made a prompt decision. "Go knock on the door. Remember, don't scare the people in the house."
The guard did not hesitate and did as he was told.
Then, someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night.
A group of noblewomen huddled under the door and pressed against it. They clenched their fists and were all thinking about Jiang Pengji.
No one answered?
The guard turned around, and Feng Langjun nodded at him, gesturing for him to continue knocking.
Finally, someone answered, but the voice was unexpected. It was a slightly hoarse girl's voice.
Of course, Wei Jingxian spoke with a pinched voice, but the people outside were knowledgeable and could tell that her voice was unnatural.
"Is that person outside … a human or a ghost?"
Wei Jingxian tried hard to imagine how Jiang Pengji had tricked the bandits to calm herself down.
It seemed like there was no danger.
Feng Langjun's furrowed brows slowly relaxed. "Of course it's a living person. Don't be afraid. We are a group of merchants who accidentally entered the mountains and got lost. My Langjun was injured and caught a cold. Now he has a high fever. I wonder if you can help us? "
A man?
The noblewomen looked at each other and shook their heads at Wei Jingxian. They could not let him in!
"At home … My husband is out hunting, and I'm the only one left … with a few of my close friends who came to visit a few days ago … It's late at night, and you and I are a single man and a single woman. It's really inconvenient. My husband will be back soon, and to avoid any misunderstandings, I hope you can find another place to stay. I will be very grateful."
Feng Langjun raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips into a thin line. His eyes flashed with something.
Inside the house, Shangguan Wan looked at Wei Jingxian nervously and whispered, "Will you scare them away by saying that?"
"There are corpses of bandits killed by Lanting outside. They said they were a group of merchants, so they must have seen a lot of things. They should be able to tell that there's something strange about the corpses … I said that Lanting will be back soon. If they aren't stupid, they won't dare to force their way in even if they don't leave …"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan looked at her in surprise. The other noblewomen also looked as if they had expected it.
