After standing so focused and holding her breath for a long time, Jiang Xixi still heard nothing. Her tense nerves gradually relaxed, thinking that what she heard was just one or two wild cats crying in her heart. She secretly laughed at herself, Jiang Xixi, Jiang Xixi, you are still a constable, and you are like those who have never seen the world, you will start to catch the wind and shadow when you encounter a little movement.

The moon finally broke free from the dark clouds, but its light seemed a little dim and not as clear as before. Jiang Xixi glanced at the full moon again, turned around and prepared to go back to the house, but she had just taken two steps, but suddenly stopped.

"Crack...Crack...Crack..." A strange sound came from the shadow beside the wall. The sound was very real, and it hit Jiang Xixi's heart rhythmically, breaking the confidence she had finally established. She clenched her fists and slowly turned her head to the right. She found a woman standing under the corner not far from her. The woman had no hair tied up, and the long hair curtain was hanging from both sides of her head, covering her face. She was wearing a white middle coat, not wearing an outer cover, and the clothes seemed to be soaked in water, and water dripping from the cuffs were constantly oozing out of her cuffs. Her fingers were clenching the wall skin, and then, making a continuous "Crack" sound, even if her nails were broken, she still did not stop.

"Girl..." Jiang Xixi frowned and took a step forward. She felt that this woman might be a madman, otherwise how could she stand here alone in the middle of the night to pick the wall? "The wind is tight at night, and you are wearing thin clothes, so go back to your room quickly."

"I can't go back." The woman seemed to be responding to her words and muttering to herself. Instead of looking at Jiang Xixi, she embedded her hands hard into the wall and tried harder to dig it up on it. With a "cuckling", several of her nails were broken, and blood poured out from her fingertips and dyed the wall red. Jiang Xixi couldn't help but hold her fingers. But the woman seemed to have no pain, and was still holding the wall with her hands, which made the wall dust fall down.

"Stop." Jiang Xixi couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed her arm and scolded, "Don't you hurt? Her nails are gone."

The woman slowly turned her head and showed a white and blue face. Jiang Xixi was surprised because she saw a black snake printed on the woman's forehead. The snake should have been branded. The snake's body was black and thick, wrapped in ugly patterns. The snake's head was raised high and he spitted out a letter fiercely.

"Who made you look like this?" Jiang Xixi's voice trembled a few times, and she took another step forward, trying to reach out to grab the trembling body.

"Girl, who are you talking to?" A question suddenly came from behind. Jiang Xixi turned around and saw a tall girl standing behind her. Her face was cold and her expression was not very good, giving people the feeling that she would not enter a strange person.

"She..." Jiang Xixi pointed to the front, but suddenly held the words in her throat, unable to say a word, because the woman with a black snake on her head disappeared, as if she had turned into a burst of smoke and was blown away by the wind. Jiang Xixi looked at the wall and found that the blood on it had also disappeared, but she had clearly seen that several of the woman's nails were broken, leaving a bloody mark on the wall.

"Girl, are you a guest of Jing Mansion? Why have I never seen you?" The woman behind her spoke again. Although her tone did not fluctuate, she could not hear the slightest disrespect.

"I just arrived at the mansion tonight, so the girl doesn't recognize me, too." Jiang Xixi replied quickly.

The woman pondered for a moment, "I understand. The servant who was guarding the door came to report that a family named Yang came to join Jing Mansion. I guess you are the girl of the Yang family."

Seeing that she was elegant and talkative, Jiang Xixi knew that she was definitely not an ordinary maid. Now that she heard her say this, she guessed her identity seven or eight, "I am indeed Aunt Yang's girl, can the girl be Miss Jing?"

The woman nodded slightly, and then said to Jiang Xixi, "Why is the girl not resting so late? I just passed here and vaguely heard the girl talking to whom, but when I came here, I found that there was only one girl," she looked around, "I wonder who the girl was talking to just now?"

"I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk. Unexpectedly, I saw a black shadow when I passed by, so I asked casually, "The man walked very fast and disappeared all of a sudden. I don't know if he was a servant in the mansion." Jiang Xixi said vaguely, because even she was half-believing and half-doubted about her experience just now, how could she explain it to the eldest lady of the Jing Mansion clearly?

"Black shadow?" A trace of doubt appeared on Miss Jing's face, but she quickly suppressed it. "Miss. Don't wander around. Just after the flood, there are many refugees. It is difficult for the Jing family to be missed by those thieves. It's better to go back to the room early to rest."

Jiang Xixi bowed and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, so he asked again, "Miss Jing, I look very good at this pagoda. I don't know if I can come to watch a few incense sticks during the day."

Miss Jing was stunned for a moment. After a while, she looked at the tower with a strange light flashing in her eyes. "Outsiders thought that my father believed in Buddhism, so they built this tower. In fact, this tower was built to commemorate my biological mother. It has always been open to the Jing family, so it is really inconvenient..."

"I'm sorry, I mentioned your sad things." Jiang Xixi quickly apologized, but Miss Jing did not respond to her. She looked at the pagoda behind the high wall, and seemed to have been completely immersed in melancholy thoughts.

Jiang Xixi didn't want to disturb her anymore, so she quietly stepped back and prepared to leave here quietly, but Miss Jing suddenly called her behind: "Girl, I have Buddha in my heart, everything I see is Buddha. Otherwise, burning incense to these statues every day would not be of any use." After that, she did not look at Jiang Xixi again and then walked away.

Jiang Xixi looked at her gradually moving back and sighed in her heart: Miss Jing is a funny person. She is not old, but she seems to have learned everything in the world. She looked at the corner of the wall where the woman in white was standing just now. It was still empty and black, not even a figure, as if everything just now was just her illusion. A gust of wind came towards her, which made Jiang Xixi tremble for a few times, and her heart felt a little chill. The cold became deeper and deeper, longer and longer, and it jumped into the bone marrow bit by bit, and even the light of the pagoda could not dispel it.
