Jiang Wan looked back at Madam Xun and nodded, "Madam, wait a moment. I will burn the copied scriptures."

"Hurry up! The old lady will be going to bed soon."

"Okay, come right away."

At the beginning, Li was afraid that she would be lazy and wanted to find an excuse to make trouble. Nanny Xun would carefully check the scriptures she copied to see if she was lazy.

Later, seeing that she was obedient every time, Nanny Xun was too lazy to look at it again and just let her burn it.

So this time, no matter what is written, they won’t know.

The flames gradually died down, and Jiang Wan stood up and walked outside.

The Buddhist temple is located in a remote corner of the entire courtyard.

Reflected by the walls and big trees, this is the darkest place in the entire Jinyu Hall.

Li always talks about worshiping Buddha and praying for blessings, but in fact, she has only come here a few times over the years.

In Li's room, Jiang Wan sat on the footstool beside the bed with her knees hugged. She heard Li's snoring and looked out the window, waiting for something.

The midnight hour has passed and the Chou hour has arrived. Wind blows outside the window and occasionally a figure seems to pass by.

Jiang Wan stood up and kindly moved the curtains to the sides so that Li could see everything at a glance.

Looking at the sleeping Li, Jiang Wan's lips curled up coldly.

And then...

"Oh, grandma, there's someone outside the window."

Jiang Wan's frightened voice woke Li up. Just as the sleepy Li was about to scold him, she saw the scene outside the window.

The man with long hair had bloodshot eyes as big as copper bells, his tongue hung down to his abdomen, and he was wearing a bloodstained white robe with sleeves that were missing his arms. When the wind blew, the empty sleeves stained with blood swung back and forth.

The rebuke on his lips turned into fear, "Ah! Who are you? Someone come quickly!"

Jiang Wan held Li's arm with his trembling and cold hands, causing Li to almost take off on the spot.

"Grandma, what should I do? Who is he? Why is he outside the window? I'm so scared. Why is he bleeding so much..."

Jiang Wan's vague words made Li panic again and again. She changed her usual hypocritical attitude and hysterically asked her to shut up!

Jiang Wan was frightened and became stunned.

Just as she was in a daze, a cool breeze blew open the door, and the coolness came over Li. In the blink of an eye, the person outside the window was in front of her.

With a cry of "Ah", Jiang Wan was frightened to faint.

Li also said “Ah.”

She was also shouting: "Someone come, come, Madam Xun, come quickly, ah..."

However, no matter how she howled, no one came, and she didn't faint.

The cold fingers touched the old face of Li, who was curled up in the corner of the bed. She opened her eyes wide in fear, her hands still waving, "Don't touch me."

Jiang Wan, lying on the ground, moved his legs and found a more comfortable lying position. He yawned and listened to Li's screams and poking at the ground.

With every poke, Li screamed hysterically.

An old face turned pale with fear, a pair of old hands covered his old face, and he kept saying: "Don't come over."

After an unknown amount of time, Li was frightened to the point of insanity, grabbing around with his hands, and a yellow liquid emitting an old man's smell.

In the blink of an eye, the cool breeze on her body disappeared. Li looked up at the bedside nervously, but the ghost was gone.

She looked towards the window and the door again in fear, but it was really gone.

Just when she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to look for someone, she glanced around and raised her head nervously...

There was another earth-shattering and soul-stirring cry: "Ah!"

This scared her so much that she couldn't pee anymore.

"Give me back my life... I have done so many things for you, you have ruined my life and turned me into a wandering ghost. Stay with me... Come and stay with me..."

The chilly words blew into Li's ears, and she was so scared that she grabbed the wet quilt and covered her head with it.

The sound gradually disappeared, and Li was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

Suddenly, she felt heat from the quilt and pulled it down abruptly. Flames suddenly ignited on the quilt. If she was a step later, her head would have been burned.

Li rolled off the bed in terror and was about to run out when she felt something on her leg.

With just one touch, she fell to her knees and crawled out like a stray dog.

Every time I climbed up a few steps, I felt a chill on my body.

She didn't dare stop. The door was right in front of her, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.

After finally crawling out of the door, suddenly! The ghost face appeared in front of her, grinning at her with its bloody teeth bared...

"Gah..." Li fainted with her head tilted.

Maybe she fainted in a bad place, on the steps outside the door.

He fainted and knocked his head, causing a crack in his head...

Seeing that she had completely fainted, Jiang Wan raised his hand and waved it, then yawned and fell into a light sleep.

……

The next morning, Li was woken up by the voices of "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you? Madam..."

The moment he opened his eyes, Li waved his arms wildly and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Jiang Wan, who had fainted, did not wake up. She was not in good health, so how could she be as strong as an old person? So after Jiang Mingwang arrived, she was dragged back to Luowan Courtyard by the servants.

He patted his butt, stood up, and with a smile on his face, he high-fived the book shadow that was running towards him.

They both raised their eyebrows and grinned.

"Miss, how is it?"

Shuying looked like he was asking for praise, and Jiang Wan praised him generously, one sentence after another, and even smiled foolishly because of the praise.

After giggling, Shuying pushed Jiang Wan to the room to rest, and she followed up with the next things.

Jiang Wan agreed, went back to his room to take a shower, changed clothes and had breakfast. Just after resting for a while, he saw Shuying running towards him with shining eyes, "The young lady is here!"
