C74 (1/2)

In her dreams, the old lady thought she saw a string of familiar golden bells. It was the golden bell she had given to Si Xiang. He had always been carried around by Si Xiang, but the monk in the temple had said that the golden bell could lock down one's life …

In the dream, she wanted to grab the golden bell, but she couldn't touch it no matter how hard she tried.

She ran after it, but she could not reach the golden bell.

Only when the golden bell landed with a bang did it shatter into pieces.

The old lady woke up from her dream.

He was sweating profusely. When he woke up, he realized that the windows were all open and the curtains were flying in the night breeze.

The old lady was slightly displeased. Shui Sang had served her for so many years, yet he had become so old that he even forgot to close the window.

”Shui Sang!” ”Water Mulberry!” The old lady got up and called out, and as she did so she went to the window and began to close it.

Shui Sang was sleeping right next door. When the old lady called out, she immediately ran over. However, he didn't expect to see such a large window open, ”Old lady, the old lady had her servant come. Please lie down first.”

”What's going on? It was clearly locked earlier.” Shui Sang asked in bewilderment as he closed the window. He lowered his head and checked the bolts on the windows one by one. They were all intact and the wind could not blow on them.

”I've really seen a ghost.” Shui Sang complained softly as he turned his head to light a candle on the bedside, afraid that the old lady wouldn't be able to see him fall.

The speaker has no heart, the listener has no heart.

The old lady suddenly thought of that dream and felt that something was amiss. She had never dreamed of Si Xiang before, so why did she suddenly dream about Si Xiang tonight?

Could it be that Si Xiang had something to say to him?

As she thought about it, the old lady nervously patted Shui Sang. ”Go and light all the candles in the room.”

Shui Sang looked at the strange expression on the old lady's face, but did not ask anything. He turned around and started to light the candles one by one.

When they reached the desk, Shui Sang's expression was somewhat stiff.

When the old lady saw Shui Sang's expression, she could tell that he was not ordinary, ”What's wrong?”

Shui Sang raised his hand and continued lighting the candles, then he said, ”Old granny, someone has used this ink.”

Startled, the old lady got up from the bed and rushed to the table. Sure enough, the paper on the table was spread out, and the pen with the dripping ink was placed at the side. Inside the inkstone was a freshly grinded ink.

She remembered that no one had touched it before she went to bed.

The old lady's fingertip twined lightly as she reached under the paperweight and pulled out the piece of paper. However, the paper was as smooth as new and there were no words on it at all.

The old man who was over a hundred years old trembled as he looked at Shui Sang with the paper in his hand. His heart was filled with complex emotions, as well as hope.

She hoped it was Si Xiang who came to tell her the news, but she didn't dare to believe so easily. After all, there was nothing on this piece of paper.

After a long time, the old lady finally opened her mouth and said, ”Ah, Shui Sang, I dreamt of Xiang'er.”

In comparison, Shui Sang was much more clear-headed.

Hearing the old lady's words, he immediately associated it with what she was thinking.

Taking the paper from the old lady, Shui Sang examined it again. Without any words, Shui Sang calmed down and comforted the old lady, ”There are no words on this paper, maybe someone is just trying to be mysterious.”

The old lady didn't know if she should believe it or not. The hand holding the paper loosened, and the paper fell to the ground. The old lady sat by the bed, tears streaming down her face. ”Xiang'er, did you come to see me?”

Shui Sang looked at the table a few more times. The ink in the inkstone had just been ground and the brush had not dried yet. If someone was playing tricks on him, that person should not have gone far!

While he was thinking, Shui Sang walked out of the house and called for a few servants.

”Call everyone to stand guard in the courtyard. You are only allowed to enter and you are not allowed to leave. Any suspicious people are brought here! ”

After finishing all the arrangements, Shui Sang ran back into the house to comfort the old lady.

The old lady was already in tears as she leaned against the bed. ”Xiang'er, is it you? Are you wronged?!”

Seeing the old lady in such a sorry state, Shui Sang could only constantly console her. ”Old lady, someone must be playing tricks on you. Miss Si Xiang thinks of the old lady as a relative, so how could she scare you?”

Unfortunately, the old lady could not bear to listen to him anymore. She could only pick up the piece of paper without any words and cry bitterly.
