Little Xiyue
Moving into a new courtyard was quite comfortable. It was far from the streets and very quiet.
It was better than the yamen!
At night, Ji Yunshu felt bored, so she took a few books she borrowed from the yamen and strolled to the courtyard, intending to read to kill time.
She had just sat down and hadn't even opened the book when she heard a voice in the air, "Big Brother."
Big Brother?
The voice was very quiet and strange, thin and long.
Oh my god, I'm so scared!
She looked around, but she couldn't see anyone. It was completely empty.
Suddenly, she felt a chill down her spine.
It wasn't because she was afraid, but because she found it strange.
"Big Brother."
Another voice came!
It was like a stereo surround sound circling around her ears. She really couldn't tell where the voice came from.
At this moment, Qiao 'er came over with a basin of water.
Seeing that she was looking for something, she walked over and asked, "Teacher Ji, are you looking for something?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
"Sound?"
Qiao 'er opened her ears and listened, then looked around.
Other than the courtyard and the door lit up, the rest of the place was dark, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
She shook her head, "I didn't hear anything. Teacher Ji, please don't scare me."
She made her hair stand on end, and timidly shrunk in Ji Yunshu's direction, looking around vigilantly.
It's so late at night, please don't cause any trouble!
Ji Yunshu let her stay by her side, only to hear the faint voice in the air again, "Big Brother, I'm here."
'Where are you?
I can't see you! '
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment, then took a hanging lamp from a short tree, held it in her hand, and shone it around.
The light moved slowly, and when it reached the wall on the left, it suddenly illuminated a palm-sized face.
"Clang!"
Qiao 'er saw it, and her body trembled. Her hands trembled, and she smashed the basin of water to the ground.
She was quite frightened, and her face turned pale.
"Ghost … Ah!" She took a few steps back.
Ji Yunshu was already mentally prepared. After all, she loved horror movies. She had watched almost all of them, from America to Thailand. She had long since figured out what the ghosts would do when they appeared.
Besides, she had seen many dead people and touched countless white bones. Although she had never seen a formless and shadowless' ghost ', she was not as frightened as Qiao' er.
She boldly raised the lantern higher and leaned forward. She saw that the 'ghost' had delicate and exquisite facial features, a pair of big curved eyes under the orange-red light, especially bright and large. Her dense eyelashes were clearly visible, and her facial features seemed to have not yet grown up, and she still had a childish air about her.
So, it was that little girl from earlier in the day!
Xiyue!
She leaned on the top of the wall with some difficulty.
"It's you?" Realization dawned on her.
Xiyue hurriedly smiled, "Big brother, it's me, I'm not a ghost."
Naive and unaffected.
"It's already so late, why are you here?"
"I'm bored."
"Where are your parents?"
"They never care about me." Little Xiyue's tone was indifferent, as if she was used to being wild.
Qiao 'er let out a long sigh of relief when she knew that it was a' person '. She patted her chest, "I was scared to death. I really thought I saw a ghost."
Ji Yunshu saw that Little Xiyue's body was already shrinking back. If she continued like this, she would definitely fall down. She hurriedly said, "It's dangerous up there, hurry down."
Little Xiyue shook her head, "No, I want to play with Big Brother."
"Then come down."
She was a little afraid, "The wall in your courtyard is too high. I have a big box here, I can just step on it."
Her childish voice was as clear and melodious as a bell!
Ji Yunshu smiled, "It's okay. Jump down, I'll catch you."
"Can you catch me?"
"Trust me."
"Alright," he said loudly.
Little Xiyue used all her strength to climb up the wall, half squatting on it. She looked down and saw that the wall was several heads higher than her. She hesitated.
What if she fell to her death?
If she didn't fall to her death, it would be even worse if she was half crippled.
A pair of watery eyes looked at Ji Yunshu. She doubted, "Will you really catch me?"
Ji Yunshu handed the lantern to Qiao 'er, who was still in shock. She rolled up her sleeves and walked to the bottom of the wall. She stretched out her hand, "Come, don't worry and jump."
Although she wasn't strong, catching a child was not a problem.
"Okay."
Little Xiyue's small body swayed on the wall before she jumped down.
She was caught in a full hug!
Her small body landed in Ji Yunshu's arms.
Although Ji Yunshu was a little sore from the weight, the child was fortunately very light. She put her down and shook her arms. Then, she reached out and rubbed the head of the little person in front of her.
"Big Brother is the best!" Xiyue looked up at her with a face full of admiration.
She smiled sweetly.
The little girl's face turned red.
Qiao 'er hurried over and said, "Xiyue, you were really scary just now. You made a sound, but I couldn't see you. I thought I saw a ghost. You can't scare people like that next time. Scaring people can scare people to death."
Little Xiyue revealed an apologetic expression, "Big Sister Qiao 'er, I really didn't mean to scare you. Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world. My father said that ghosts only exist in people's hearts."
Yes, your father said it well.
Qiao 'er tilted her head and asked, "How do you know my name is Qiao' er?"
"Didn't Big Brother call you just now?"
"Oh!" she replied in a muffled voice.
The two of them were four years apart, but they seemed to be of similar age. Their conversation was very cute.
Ji Yunshu said, "Alright, don't just stand there. Come and sit."
She pulled Little Xiyue into the courtyard and sat down.
When she saw the books on the stone table, Little Xiyue's eyes lit up. She quickly picked up one of the books and flipped through it. She said excitedly, "This is my favorite book."
She couldn't put it down!
"Oh? You read this book too? "
"Yes, of course I read it. I started reading it two years ago." She said, "I found this book in my father's study. At that time, I secretly took it and read it for a few days. I only returned it after I finished reading it. The things inside are very interesting."
She was even excited. Her small hands hurriedly flipped through the book she had read before, and she read it with relish.
Her small appearance, with her head lowered to read the book, really did have the demeanor of a little adult.
The book in her hands was called "Hundred Records"!
Ji Yunshu had borrowed this book from the yamen yesterday. It was written about hundreds of years of battles on the battlefield. It was said that there were thirty-six stratagems in "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and this "Hundred Records" had seventy-nine stratagems. Every stratagem was excellent. She had finished reading it in Liu Qingping's study a few years ago, but she felt bored these two days, so she borrowed it and flipped through it again.
But she didn't expect Little Xiyue to like this kind of book.
