Chapter 423 Chapter 3 Red Apricots on the Wall

"This is my granddaughter." Mrs. Ma introduced, "My surname is Yao, and her name is Yao Xiaojuan." Grandpa said that it was such a coincidence.The girl named Yao Xiaojuan is also Madam Ma's granddaughter.As for where the coincidence is, I will talk about it later. Yao Xiaojuan called out obediently: "Grandpa Ma!" Grandpa quickly invited the two of them into the house to warm up.Grandpa and Mrs. Ma inevitably talked about their childhood, and lamented how quickly time passed, and in a blink of an eye, their grandchildren grew taller than themselves.While her grandfather was chatting with Mrs. Ma, Yao Xiaojuan fiddled with the flames in the stove wholeheartedly, keeping the dead sticks burning.

The old lady Ma suddenly changed the subject, and said to her grandfather, "I'm here this time to ask you for a favor." When she said this, the old lady Ma winked at Yao Xiaojuan who was beside her.Yao Xiaojuan immediately understood, put down the stick to poke the flames, and sat upright, as serious as a primary school student whose name was called by the teacher. Grandpa smiled and said, "Of course I will help you. You don't have to be so cautious, just say it straight." In fact, when Grandpa saw Mrs. Ma appearing with this woman, he had already guessed seven or eight points.He vaguely saw a bit of melancholy from Yao Xiaojuan's delicate face.Besides, Mrs. Ma had never brought anyone here to visit before, but today she suddenly brought her granddaughter, so it was not as simple as bringing her to meet her grandfather.

"We are all acquaintances, so I won't talk around the corner. My granddaughter is in trouble." Mrs. Ma glanced at Yao Xiaojuan, who immediately nodded, "This trouble is strange...Of course, If it's not strange, I won't bother you." "What's the trouble? Why is it so strange?" Grandpa asked. "Since she turned twelve years old, she has had the same dream on a fixed date every year. And this dream is also very strange." Mrs. Ma looked at Yao Xiaojuan again, and Yao Xiaojuan immediately nodded to her grandfather, expressing that she There is nothing wrong with what grandma said.

"After turning twelve?" Grandpa asked with a frown. Madam Ma looked at Yao Xiaojuan, Yao Xiaojuan nodded, and she nodded too. "Then," Grandpa rubbed his chin, turned to look at Yao Xiaojuan, "what strange things did you dream about?" Yao Xiaojuan replied: "I dreamed of killing someone!" After speaking, Yao Xiaojuan shivered.Obviously, this dream was very terrifying, and she couldn't help but feel chills sitting by the fire. "Murder? Did you kill?" Grandpa asked, "Don't be afraid, no matter how scary it is, it's just something that happened in a dream, nothing happened now."

"Well. I didn't kill people. I saw others kill people." Yao Xiaojuan replied. Grandpa thought for a while and said, "Then, can you describe to me the scene in the dream, the more detailed the better?" Grandpa was worried that Yao Xiaojuan was afraid of recalling the scene in the dream, so he deliberately lowered his voice so that it sounded It has the same temperature as the flame in the stove, which can relieve the tense nerves. Yao Xiaojuan swallowed dryly, took another deep breath, and then said: "I dreamed that I was lying on a big, big bed, covered with a big, big satin quilt, and on the quilt were embroidered two water-playing quilts." But I can be sure that this is not a quilt for a wedding, because the edges of the quilt are frayed, and there is a smell of a man. I feel lazy, as if I have just gone through a strenuous exercise. I When I looked up, I saw a man standing beside the bed, although I didn't know this man, but when he turned to look at me, I felt somewhat familiar."

"Déjà vu?" Grandpa asked. "Yes, deja vu. There's an image of this man in his head, but it's a blur. He's shirtless, with his hands on the belt around his waist. I'm not sure if he's unbuttoning or tying his belt. Because As soon as I saw him, an old man broke into the door. That old man also gave me a feeling of deja vu." Yao Xiaojuan frowned. The flames danced on the faces of the three people. "The old man holds a cane in his hand, and wears the clothes of a big landlord in the late Qing Dynasty. He also wears a ring with a big gemstone on his finger, as if he is a person of status. And I wear pants beside my bed. The man in front of him should be a low-status person. He was wearing big-footed trousers and a simple strip of cloth for his belt. Just as I was thinking so, the old man raised his crutches and beat the man. The man had sharp eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly I took a few steps back, but the old man didn't hit him, and staggered, almost fell to the ground. I wondered in my heart, why are they fighting?"

Yao Xiaojuan licked her lips, and said again: "At this moment, I didn't intend to get up, and secretly noticed the furnishings in this room. There is a dressing table opposite the bed, and the mirror is vaguely printed with bottles and jars on the dressing table. I guess the bottles and jars are full of cosmetics. The mirror of the dressing table is made in the shape of a fairy peach, and the engravings on it are very fine. There is a small stove next to the dressing mirror, on which there is a steaming kettle. The water is boiling." "I was looking at the kettle. The old man who didn't hit his head picked up the kettle and threw it at the man. I was shocked. The boiling water splashed on the man, and he still didn't take it off. A layer of skin?" Yao Xiaojuan's face showed panic, as if she was about to pour such a pot of boiling water on someone right now.

"I hurriedly lifted the quilt to get up to stop me, only to realize that I was naked and had nothing on. I hurriedly covered the quilt that was lifted, wondering where all the clothes before going to bed were. Then I heard stabbing With a clack, boiling water splashed on the man. The man croaked in pain. The old man smiled triumphantly. The old man scolded, "Even if my red apricots lie on the wall, you won't come to pick them." portion!' I was even more confused, what did the old man say?" "I saw that man's crotch and thighs were wet, and white steam was rising from the wet place. I thought to myself, it's over, this man is probably useless in the future. The man grinned, but I also took a moment to look at me twice. I hurriedly hugged the quilt tightly, lest he know that I was not wearing anything. But he seemed to know it, and showed me a lewd smile. As soon as he looked at me like that, I felt guilty in my heart, as if I had done something shameful with him."
