Hongcai was shocked when she heard this.
What do you mean by just leaving it alone?
Is it okay to just ignore things like being haunted? The young master's heart is really big. Even if he is haunted by ghosts, he still wants to go to sleep. Can this bring peace to anyone?
Anyway, Hong'e didn't think she could still sleep.
"Sir, I'm afraid." Hong Cai held Han Du's hand tightly and didn't let go.
Han Du was helpless and had no choice but to say: "If you are afraid, how about I send you to Jingyun? If you sleep with them, you shouldn't be afraid anymore, right?"
Hong E was about to nod, but then she thought of what if she left. Then isn't the young master the only one left here? After all, it is impossible for the young master to live in the young lady's room with her.
Leave the young master alone in this haunted place? Hong'e thought for a while, then shook her head and refused: "I, I'd better stay with the young master." Even if there is a ghost, being here to accompany the young master can give him a little more courage.
Han Du didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement when Hong E insisted on staying. He yawned and walked towards his bed with a swaying step. When he came to the bed, he turned around and saw Hong Cai following behind him.
Then he asked: "If you don't go to bed, why are you following me?"
"Master, I, I'm afraid..." Hong'e's voice contained a cry.
Since you were afraid, why didn't you go to Han Jingyun's place? Han Du thought to himself.
However, Hong Cai looked scared and forced to stay. Han Du also understood what she was thinking. She was afraid of leaving herself here alone.
Feeling warm in his heart, Han Du asked: "What should I do? You can't just stand here without sleeping, right?"
After hearing this, Hongcai didn't know what to do. After a while, he said hesitantly: "Master is sleeping on the bed, and I can just lie down on the ground."
How about sleeping on the floor? Han Du shook his head when he heard this. The ground was made of compacted soil, covered with a layer of wooden boards. Not to mention dirty, it was still full of moisture.
"With your small body, if you sleep all night, you will definitely get sick." Han Du shook his head and said, "Forget it, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the floor."
Hearing that Han Du wanted to sleep on the floor, Hong Cai shook his head and disagreed with anything.
After several attempts to evade, Han Du lost his patience and suddenly said: "This won't work, that won't work either. Then why don't you just sleep on the bed?"
An angry remark made by Han Du himself.
Unexpectedly, Hong'e blushed and nodded imperceptibly after hearing this.
Han Du was silent for a while. What was this little girl thinking about? But after the words were spoken, Han Du couldn't take them back, so he had to make room for Hong E and let her sleep on the bed.
Han Du was so sleepy that he thought he would fall asleep quickly while lying on the bed, but the opposite was true. Hong Cai fell asleep, but Han Du hadn't fallen asleep yet. He was very sleepy at first, but he had no sleepiness at all. No matter how hard Han Du tried, he just couldn't fall asleep. It was even more tragic later. I don’t know if Hong Calyx was scared or something. After falling asleep, she kept squeezing towards Han Du. Until Han Du had no way to retreat, she continued to squeeze towards Han Du.
Han Du only felt a soft and fragrant petite body pressing tightly against him, making him unable to help but feel distracted. He raised his head slightly and took a look at Hongcai's childish face. He was still asleep at the moment. He was not sleepy at all.
It was hard to stay up until dawn, and Han Du's eyes were red.
Hong Cai woke up from her sleep, stretched out, punched Han Du on the nose, and suddenly looked back.
ah!
There was a scream, but before the sound came out, he quickly reached out to cover his mouth. Only then did Hongcai recall what was going on. Embarrassedly, he looked at the young master rubbing the bridge of his nose and asked apologetically: "It's my fault. Does it hurt, young master?"
Han Du rubbed it a few times, then put down his hand, shook his head and said, "It's dawn, get up."
Only then did Hong E realize that she was still on the young master's bed. She said "Oh" with a red face and quickly got up.
After Han Du finished washing, he took advantage of breakfast to tell his father and others about the haunting in his room last night. Then he said to Han Jingyun: "From today on, let Hongcai sleep in your room. That girl is timid. She was frightened very much last night."
After saying that, Han Du continued to drink kelp soup calmly.
Han Du was calm, but his mother was not. Upon hearing that Han Du's room was haunted, Ms. Liu quickly exclaimed: "Is it really haunted?" Han Du nodded and told his mother about the strange knock on the door last night.
Mrs. Liu took a breath when she heard this, and ordered Uncle Mu beside her with a livid face: "Let's arrange this matter and stop everyone from spreading nonsense. Let me know who dares to talk nonsense, and I won't spare him."
Having a haunted home is no small thing. Once it spreads, it will not only cause panic but also make people panic. If it spreads to the market, people will think that the Han family's family tradition is not good. In the eyes of today's people, if a house is haunted, it means either that it has lost the blessing of its ancestors, or that it has done something evil. In short, it is not a good thing, and it will have a huge impact on a family's reputation.
Uncle Mu also knew the seriousness of the matter. He looked solemn and said solemnly: "Madam, don't worry. I have lived in the house for so long and I have never heard of anything bad happening. Someone must have framed us." After saying that, he glanced at Han Du dissatisfiedly. If it was not Han Du who was haunted in the house, but his servants, he would definitely kick the servants out without hesitation.
This kind of thing, whether it is true or false, can be handled properly in private. How could Han Du say it so harshly in public?
But Han Du was the breadwinner of the family, so Uncle Mu couldn't say anything. I can only think about making up for it as much as possible. Fortunately, there aren't many servants in the Han family, so it's not too late to shut them up now.
Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, then turned to tell Han Du: "Not only Honge, but you also don't want to live in that house tonight. Change a room and let Honge clean it for you. In addition, Master, you are not allowed to live in that house tonight." Just go to Tianjie Temple and ask an eminent monk to come and take a look at your home in the name of Feng Shui. If there is really something dirty, ask the eminent monk to do rituals and remove it."
Dad nodded solemnly and agreed. The fact that the house is haunted is no small matter.
Han Du is not afraid because he is well-informed and does not believe that there are ghosts in the world. But my father is an orthodox scholar. Scholars say, "I would rather believe in something that exists than something that doesn't exist." The saints also say that they should "respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them." What about ordinary scholars?
