Chapter 5 Settlement

Seeing this, Fan Qing rubbed her arms and leaned against Jiang Xixi, "So disgusting, are you scared too?"

Jiang Xixi frowned. She was not scared by the cat, but the cat was involved in the wound bitten by a mouse when it jumped to her feet. She squatted down and saw blood oozing out of the wound. She couldn't help but bared and took a breath.

"What's wrong with the feet?"

"I was bitten by a mouse in the temple just now, so it's okay."

Fan Qing looked much nervous than her, so she came over to support Jiang Xixi, "Why didn't you say earlier? It's big or small to be bitten by a mouse. If you don't deal with it in time, you will cause a big mess."

Jiang Xixi was about to ask more questions, but saw Fan Qing wave at a exactly the same figure in front of him, "Fan Yin, come here quickly and help me help her home."

***

Jiang Xixi sat on the bed, and the pus and blood in the wound had been squeezed out. Mrs. Fan took a small white jade bottle, cut out a small piece of light yellow ointment from it, and carefully applied it to the wound. The fishy and bitter taste of the medicine penetrated into Jiang Xixi's nose, which made her think of someone and couldn't help feeling a long-lost peace of mind.

Mrs. Fan looked up at the daughters around her, "It's okay, it's just a little trauma. I took medicine and I'll get healed after two days of rest." Seeing that they were still frowning, she added, "The disease has been eliminated for more than ten years and has long been broken. You don't have to worry so much."

"Sickness? What disease?" Jiang Xixi said suspiciously.

Mrs. Fan gently patted her shoulder, "Didn't your brother tell you? It was because of that epidemic that my master met him."

Jiang Xixi shook her head blankly and was about to ask again, but Mrs. Fan took the pillow away and let her lie on the bed. "This matter is a long story. You have been rushing for so long, so you should rest first. Anyway, you have to stay here for a long time. I will talk to you slowly in the future."

Jiang Xixi looked at her gratefully, but suddenly she remembered something, and then turned over and took out two ingots of silver from the bag around her waist. "Madam, I will disturb you during this period. I can't do anything. I will just treat this money as my boarding, food and accommodation."

Mrs. Fan's face stagnated and pushed the silver back, "If I collect this silver, I will meet the master a hundred years later, and I don't know how to explain to him, hurry up, put it away."

Fan Yin advised her, "Girl, you are making things difficult for my mother like this. When you come here, we are just adding a pair of chopsticks. How much more money can you pay, hurry up and take it back."

"I'm poor, I like to pretend to be generous." Fan Qing said just as soon as she was glared back by Mrs. Fan. She could only glance at Jiang Xixi and walked out the door, "Let's go, if you don't go up the mountain, you will be picked by others."

Mrs. Fan gave Jiang Xixi a few more words and walked out the door with Fan Yin.

Finally, she was the only one left in the room. Jiang Xixi breathed, spread her legs, lay on the bed in a large shape, staring at the beam blankly: Judging from the situation just now, this family named Fan should have a good relationship with Lord Cheng, so they treated herself thoughtfully. However, Mrs. Fan said that Mr. Fan and Lord Fan met more than ten years ago. At that time, Cheng Muyou should be in his early 10 years. Could it be that they were not close to each other? And Fan Qing, why was she so nervous about her injuries? But after being bitten by a mouse, she seemed to be facing a great enemy, which was too much of a problem. What's even more strange is the rats in the temple, they seemed to be climbing down the raindrops, and there were no tributes in the temple. Could it be that the statue of the silkworm god attracted them?

However, even though the thoughts were lingering in her mind, she could not withstand the trouble of sleepiness. She ran around for half a month and was already exhausted. Before she could finish her thoughts, her eyelids were so heavy that they couldn't hold back. After struggling for a few times, she closed heavily.

It was already dark when she woke up, but she did not wake up naturally, but was awakened by fear. In her dream, she saw pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, which were very bright, reflecting a mottled white light, lurking in the corner, staring at herself without blinking.

When she woke up, Jiang Xixi felt a cold back on her back. Her face was facing inward and her chest was undulating violently. The fear in her dream had not dissipated for a long time.

Finally, she recalled where she was and realized that it was just a dream just now, but her body was still tightly closed, and she did not relax at all because of waking up from a nightmare. Her legs were curled up and her toes were tightly hooked. She was very scared and creepy, but she didn't know what she was afraid of.

Is there anything behind her? Curled up in a ball and peeked at her in the darkness.

Jiang Xixi turned her head little by little. She saw a small black shadow lying on the windowsill, her back hair was illuminated by the moonlight, and her eyes were shining with cold light, which penetrated straight into her heart.

Mouse, I killed so many of its companions, so it came to seek revenge on me.

A ridiculous idea broke into her mind, but even though she knew it was ridiculous, she firmly believed it, her heart was beating, and her hands were fumbled by the bed with her long sword.

The fingers touched the hilt of the sword, and the cold touch made her heart slightly calmer, but the mouse's next move made her throat tighten, and blood in her body surged to the top of her head.

It opened its mouth to her, revealing the deep red mouth and tongue inside. A bright red ball was mixed with a few sharp fangs, which were white and shiny, as if all the frost in the world was concentrated.

Jiang Xixi felt that her whole body was being gnawed by millions of ants, and that disgusting feeling once again surged into her throat, making her almost unable to help but churn her chest.

"Meow."

A white light flashed, and the mouse on the windowsill disappeared. Jiang Xixi hurriedly walked to the window and looked down. She saw that the white cat she met on the road today was standing in the yard. It had swallowed the mouse's head into its mouth.

"Crack."

A few strands of blood overflowed from the white cat's mouth, the mouse's head was bitten to pieces, and it finally stopped struggling, and the half of the body exposed was gradually limp.

The white cat looked at Jiang Xixi proudly, held his prey in his mouth, and walked out of the yard with his head held high.

“Mimi.”

Jiang Xixi called it in front of the window and bet on it with praise, but the white cat was not interested in her praise. It walked to the wall, bent its feet slightly and prepared to jump up, but the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened at this time.

When Fan Qing saw the figure of a cat and a mouse, she screamed in fear. The flowers piled up in her arms were thrown out, sprinkling the yard.

The white cat was shocked, and his body was like lightning, "swooshing" through the courtyard gate, and rushed out against Fan Yin's legs.

Fan Yin didn't scream, but her reaction was even more exaggerated than her sister. She fell to the ground immediately and covered her face and started crying.
