Chapter 230 Both sides are afraid

 “I’m so afraid of the dark…”

Wen Ning looked pale and clenched his handkerchief, his eyes full of panic.

 In the past few days, she could only take a nap during the day. I don’t know if there was enough sunshine during the day, but she slept very well.

Nor will I have nightmares.

 At night, you will be trapped in a nightmare and unable to wake up.

 Knowing that it is a dream, but unable to escape.

"He...he said he would come to marry me tonight." Wen Ning's heart was beating wildly.

 The world is extremely harsh on women. If it were known that she met a man in her dream, the news would be extremely unpleasant.

Furthermore, it was hard for her to talk about it.

“I once went to the temple to ask for a peace charm, but I still couldn’t stop him. He even sent me a betrothal gift...” Wen Ning walked to the bed and took out a pair of small paper figures from under the pillow.

Boys and girls cut out of yellow paper, with two dazzling blushes on their faces.

The mouth is red and dripping with blood, and the smile on the paper man's face is terrifying.

"I can't even tell if it's a dream or reality. It's obviously a dream, so why does this paper doll of a boy and a girl appear beside my bed?" Wen Ning trembled with fear.

"Chachao, I like your second brother. I just want to be his wife. If I can't escape tonight..." Wen Ning had a cruel look in his eyes.

"If I can't escape, I will risk my life and die with him!"

 Lu Chao’s energetic little face was ashen.

The second brother went out to conquer the world, but she didn't even protect her future second sister-in-law.

 Her Chaoyang Sword can hardly be restrained!

“Sister Aning, don’t be afraid. Did he tell you his address?” Lu Chaochao asked.

Wen Ning’s eyes turned red and he nodded.

"Yes, he asked me to go and identify the family. But I was afraid and never went." Wen Ning was embarrassed, and she didn't dare to tell outsiders. In desperation, she even told the two-year-old Chaochao.

"Chachao, you are still a child. Sister Aning will find a way to deal with it. You should go back to school first."

Lu Chaochao muttered: "That won't work, you are my future second sister-in-law."

 “I promised my second brother that I would keep Sister Aning safe.”

Aning's face turned red, Lu Chaochao took her hand and walked out the door.

 “Yushu, please help me take a day off.”

Yushu made a sad face: "How can I invite this servant..."

 Lu Chaochao climbed onto the carriage and climbed into sister Aning's arms: "Sister Aning, where is his home?"

Aning pursed his lips and took a deep breath: "In the dream, he told me that his family walked three miles east from the city. There was a huge locust tree at the entrance of the village. The name of the village was Dahuai Village."

“There are many households in the village, and there is a river in front of the door…”

"He kept asking me to find him, but I was afraid and never went. Last night, he was angry..." In his dream, he asked her frantically, why didn't he go to find him, why didn't he go to him...

"Dahuai Village? Three miles away?" Lu Chaochao scratched his head suspiciously, it sounded familiar.

 The carriage headed all the way out of the city.

Along the way, the maid kept asking for directions.

"Old man, how can I get to Dahuai Village?" the maid asked the old man who was on his way.

The old man was startled: "Dahuai Village? What are you doing in Dahuai Village?"

Wen Ning opened the curtain.

Seeing that the old man was in ragged clothes, the snow had not melted, and he was wearing a pair of open-toed straw sandals, he asked the maid to bring him a thick blanket and gave him some scattered silver.

“There is a relative who lives in Dahuai Village and wants to visit his relatives.”

The old man thanked her profusely, but when he heard that she was going to visit relatives, he frowned.

"Girl, you are a kind-hearted person. Good people are rewarded. Go back quickly. I'm afraid you were deceived. This Dahuai Village disappeared many years ago."

“The tyranny of Emperor Xue of the previous dynasty caused widespread complaints and made the people miserable. The village of Dahuai was under the emperor’s feet. It had been massacred for offending Emperor Xue of the previous dynasty.”

“That area is now a mass grave. There are no residents anywhere...just rows and rows of graves.”

“I’m scared of passing by that area. You’d better go back...” The old man, wrapped in a thick blanket, advised seriously.

“Some time ago, I heard that it was still haunted.” “There was a ghost baby who had died young crawling out of the grave. He was also holding a soul-locking iron chain, hoping to resurrect his soul as a substitute for the dead ghost…”

“Girl, listen to me and go back. No fisherman dares to go to that place now.” The old man shook his head in fright.

Wen Ning's face was slightly stiff. She forced a smile to thank her, and then sat back in the carriage.

 “It’s actually a mass grave?”

"How could it be? Could it be that...he is really a lonely ghost?"

Wen Ning shivered violently when he thought of being alone in his dreams every night.

"Anyway, we're already out of the city, why don't we go take a look? Sister Aning, don't be afraid..." Lu Chaochao held Wen Ning's hand and kept cheering her up.

Aning took a deep breath.

With a white face: "Go and take a look first."

 After leaving the city, follow the road pointed by the old man and enter a trail.

Lu Chaochao felt that this road was becoming more and more familiar.

Isn't this the mass grave where she slept when she ran away from home? ? ?

 "I've been here..." Lu Chaochao whispered.

   "There is a river in front, and there is a big locust tree by the river."

 “I haven’t noticed whether it’s haunted or not…”

 “But there is a crazy old man who likes fishing.”

“Last time I only said a few words to him, and he ran away crying and howling. It was so scary.” Lu Chaochao looked frightened and patted his chest.

  "Crazy, so terrible, so terrible..."

Wen Ning was amused by her: "It's so scary?"

"Yes, he is howling...crying and screaming, who is not afraid..." The little guy spoke softly and sounded particularly cute.

 The carriage stopped under the big locust tree.

“The locust tree gathers shade, and there have always been legends of summoning spirits. It’s really scary...” The maid stood behind Wen Ning, feeling quite worried.

Lu Chaochao pointed to the river: "Well, that's where I met Crazy Grandpa..."

Wen Ning looked pale as he looked at the large mass of graves behind him.

 She was shaky and almost unsteady.

"Miss, let's go back? Or, go to Huguo Temple and ask the eminent monk for help?" The maid's teeth were chattering, and she saw countless graves in front of her eyes.

“The abbot of Huguo Temple will not return to Beijing until March. I can’t wait any longer.” Wen Ning squeezed the handkerchief.

“Sister Aning, what’s that person’s name?” Lu Chaochao asked.

 “My name is Zhu Yonghe.”

Lu Chaochao led the trembling Wen Ning forward.

Most of the mass graves are ownerless and solitary graves. Some of them have monuments, but they are in dilapidated condition.

Most of them don’t even have monuments.

As Wen Ning walked, he suddenly looked around in panic.

“Daughter-in-law...Daughter-in-law, have you come to see me?”

“Tonight you are my bride, daughter-in-law... you are my chosen wife...”

Wen Ning suddenly raised his hands to cover his ears and looked around in horror.

 “Who is it?” Wen Ning suppressed his fear and asked loudly.

The cold wind howled, picking up countless piles of snow and flying.

The surrounding trees began to tremble.

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was shaking like chaff.

At some unknown time, Lu Chaochao was holding the Chaoyang Sword.

The sharp sword is not unsheathed, covering up the anger all over his body.
