Chapter 2 Chapter Two Wordless Book

That night, Han'er ate dinner in a daze, and sat in the boudoir in a daze.Her parents had gone out to entertain, so she wanted to tell her parents what she saw in the afternoon and it was impossible, not to mention that strange guest had told her never to tell anyone?After thinking about it, she was at a loss.She is a daughter of an official family. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. Her mother, nurse and maids will always take care of everything for her. Group, do not know what to do. At Xu time, the little girl, as usual, came into the room to untie her hair, and helped her go to bed and sleep well.Han'er is lying on the bed, but how can he sleep?She tossed and turned, only thinking in her heart: Should I go to the well tonight?Should I go to the well tonight?

She thought through the things that the strange guest had entrusted to her from the beginning to the end. As she thought about it, her fear gradually receded, and she finally couldn't help her curiosity, and took out the package that the strange guest gave her from under the embroidered quilt.Under the moonlight, I saw that the package was wrapped in a piece of blue calico, with a few dark brown blood stains on it.Han'er opened the blue cloth, and inside was a package of oiled paper, on which was a letter with the words "Dear Doctor Hero" written on it, and the seal was sealed with wax paint.She put the letter aside, gently opened the oiled paper, and saw that inside was a thin book with a dark blue cover, but no words.She opened the front page, and saw that there was no text inside. She continued to flip through, and found more than 30 pages, all of which were blank.Han'er was very surprised, if this book is so important, how come there is not even a single word in it?She wanted to light up the lamp to take a closer look, but she was afraid that the girl outside the room would come in to inquire after seeing the light, so she gave up the idea.She looked up and saw a crescent moon hanging on the branches outside the window, and felt hesitant in her heart: what time is it now?Did I really go to the well in the backyard when I was a child?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she quickly wrapped the book and hid it under the quilt, lying on the bed listening to the sound of the hourglass, thinking for a while: I will stay in the house, and no one will know.I'd better not go!After a while, I thought again: No, I promised that person to deliver the things, how could I break my promise to him?He looks like he's going to die, and if I don't do this for him, and pass the words for him, he'll be very sad.Thinking that the man might be about to die, I seemed to hear his voice: If you don't do what I say, I will become a ghost after death, and I will come to you too!Thinking of this, I couldn't help shivering.She closed her eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, but the bloody fight and the bloody face of the strange man kept appearing in front of her eyes.She was fighting again: to go, or not to go?to go, or not to go?

When it was almost midnight, Han'er finally put on his clothes and got out of bed, opened the door on tiptoe, and walked to the backyard.There are seven entrances to the Zhou family mansion, and the back door of the last entrance is a small courtyard where servants live. Next to the courtyard is the kitchen. The only well in the house is in the northeast corner of the small courtyard near the kitchen.Han'er walked gently through the corridor, the inner garden and several patios before coming out of the kitchen.But hearing the silence all around, the servants had already fallen asleep.She stretched out her hand and pushed open the kitchen door. Under the moonlight, she saw that there was still a kindling on the stove, emitting a faint red light in the darkness.Clutching the package in her arms tightly, she walked through the kitchen step by step and came to the door leading to the small courtyard.The door was not closed tightly, she looked out through the crack of the door, but saw that the small courtyard was silent, and the moonlight was falling on the well, emitting a faint light.

At this moment, Han'er's heart skipped a beat: That letter!That letter!She had forgotten the letter! She hurriedly lowered her head to check the package, and sure enough, when she wrapped the blue calico, she forgot to put the letter in! Han'er had mustered up enough courage to come here in the middle of the night, but at this moment, he realized that he had missed the letter, and couldn't help panicking. He wanted to go back to get it, but he was afraid that it would be too late, and he kept blaming himself: Han'er , Han'er, why are you so muddled and careless?I thought again: Yes, when I see the aunt, I will explain to her and ask her to wait for me here for a while, and I will go back immediately and bring the letter to her.

At this moment, the shadow beside the well moved, and a person really came to the well.Han'er was overjoyed and wanted to go up to greet him.Before stepping out of the kitchen, that person had already noticed her. He suddenly stepped forward, opened the door and rushed into the kitchen, grabbed her wrist, and said in a low voice: "Who? Han'er felt that his wrist was bound by an iron hoop, and he cried out in pain.The man had covered her mouth with his hand, stifling her screams.The man said again: Hey, I see!Are you Zheng Hanqing's daughter?Where is your mother?His voice was high-pitched, but he didn't look like a woman, it sounded very strange.At this moment Han'er could see clearly that the person was ugly and had no chin, but he was not a woman.

She was at a loss, when she suddenly heard the ugly-faced man let out a low cry, pulling her back a few steps.Han'er turned around, but saw a gray-clothed man appearing from nowhere, rushing forward, with a cold light flashing, he swung a dagger and attacked the ugly-faced man.The ugly-faced man drew out a dagger, which made a series of bangs and cuts, and shouted: "Do you want your daughter's life?"Suddenly, with a muffled groan, as if he was injured, he let go of Han'er's hand and rolled to the ground.The man in gray caught up with him a few steps, and the dagger plunged straight into the chest of the ugly-faced man.The ugly-faced man didn't even hum, and died.

The man in gray turned his head, looked at Han'er, saw Han'er's face clearly under the moonlight, and said in surprise: Miss, it's you!How did you come here? At this time, Han'er had seen the man's face clearly, it was Aunt Rui who had been a cook at home for more than a year!Aunt Rui is good at cooking Beijing dishes, and was introduced by her father's friend Admiral Yang. Han'er loves her paper-wrapped chicken and egg skin dumplings the most.It was not surprising that a chef like her appeared in the kitchen, but what was surprising was that she appeared in the middle of the night and even killed a person.Han'er was also dumbfounded, and said: Aunt Rui, I love you

Aunt Rui made a silent gesture to her, stepped forward and took her hand, led her out of the kitchen quickly, to a corner of the backyard, looked around, saw no one, then lowered her head, Looking at Han'er, he said, "Miss, who asked you to come here?" Han'er hesitated, didn't know how to answer, suddenly heard a girl's voice whisper: Mother!Is daddy here?But he saw a girl turning out from behind the rockery, about the same age as himself, with a package on her back, dressed in a bunt, as if she was going to travel far, but it was Aunt Rui's daughter Bao'er.Bao'er lived in Zhou's house with her mother more than a year ago, and usually helps out in the kitchen.Han'er has met her several times, and knows that she is well-behaved and smart, and she is very popular among servants.Han'er looked at their mother and daughter, and his heart moved: That's right, the strange man said that an old woman and a little girl are they!Now he asked tentatively: Madam, did you just go to wait for someone by the well?Aunt Rui's complexion changed slightly, and she said: Exactly.how do you know?Han'er said: "Because someone asked me to go to the well to find an old lady and a girl, and give them something.

Aunt Rui looked dignified and said, "The one entrusted to you is a tall, thin man named Zheng?"Han'er nodded and said: Yes.I heard they call him Zheng Hanqing.Aunt Rui said happily, "Yes."That's my husband.He frowned again and said: They?who are they? Han'er talked about the fight he saw next to the swing in the afternoon, then he took out the package in his arms, handed it to Aunt Rui, and said: "He wants me to give you this package, and he wants me to tell you to run away quickly." Go to Hushan, ask someone who is, ask the doctor couple, ask them to protect you.He also said that things must be handed over to the doctor, which is very important.

Aunt Rui's expression became more and more serious, and she asked, "Did he explain anything else?"Han'er remembered the few words he said back before leaving, and said: He wanted me to tell the little girl that she can't read the things in this package until she is twenty years old, and said, well, that Daddy has gone, and she wants to remember it. So, she will always be Daddy's most beloved baby.These few words were uttered by her childish accent, Aunt Rui and Bao'er heard them, looked at each other, and couldn't help crying.Han'er looked at their mother and daughter, knowing in his heart that the strange man, that is, Bao'er's father, would not come back, and felt very sorry for them. Aunt Rui took a deep breath, wiped her tears and said: Miss Han'er, thank you for sending gifts to my husband, my mother and daughter are very grateful.Bao'er, Miss Han'er has brought you a message from your father, please kowtow to Miss Han'er to thank you.Bao'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Han'er. Han'er remembered that she had forgotten the letter, and felt extremely ashamed, and quickly said: No, no!You get up quickly.In fact, I also forgot a letter in the room. He asked me to give it to you together with the package. That letter must be very important.I was so confused that I left the letter in the room.I'm going to get it now!
