Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 131 Abandoned Woodshed

The woodshed in the backyard is cold and damp, and the door is always locked. It seems that almost no one comes in.

The shabby wooden door was half-open, as if it had been asleep for a long time.

A cold wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness that made people shiver.

Daiyu and Xiaoling were escorted by several old women to the woodshed.

Their footsteps were as light as feathers, for fear of awakening this long-silent place.

With every step I took, I could feel the chill from the damp ground beneath my feet, as if it penetrated into my bones.

They walked cautiously through the rooms, their eyes scanning the piles of firewood and discarded utensils.

There is an old atmosphere here, as if time has stopped here for a long time.

The walls were covered with moss and the corners were full of cobwebs, giving people a depressing and eerie feeling.

Daiyu was in a heavy mood, she didn't know if she could get out of here safely.

She followed the maids silently, her heart filled with anxiety and fear.

Xiaoling held her hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort, but both of them knew that they could only leave it to fate.

Finally, they arrived at a larger room. The door was closed, but a faint light shone through the crack.

When the maids opened the door, a musty smell immediately emanated from inside.

Daiyu and Xiaoling covered their mouths and noses and walked into the room.

The room was dark and damp, with only an oil lamp emitting a faint light.

The surrounding area was filled with miscellaneous items and old furniture, making it look messy.

In the center of the room, there was a shabby table and several chairs, covered with various tools.

Daiyu's heart sank suddenly as she realized that she might face a test from Yan Jun.

A hint of despair flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She knew that no matter what, she had to be strong and face everything in front of her.

At this time, the leading maid looked at Daiyu in a flattering manner and said with a smile: "Yu Fujin, we have wronged you for a few days. We are just following orders from above!"

After saying that, they turned and left, leaving Daiyu and Xiaoling looking at each other, not knowing how to live here.

Xiaoling saw an old chair and quickly found a worn rag to clean the dust off it and let Daiyu sit down.

She took all the tools on the table outside and cleaned it.

At this time, the master and servant heard the sound of the yard being locked.

Daiyu looked at Xiaoling with resentment, and after a long while she uttered a few words: "Ling'er, you have suffered a lot by following me!"

Xiaoling hurried over and took Daiyu's hand, smiling and saying, "Miss, we will definitely get out, don't worry!"

Daiyu nodded, feeling so sad that she almost cried.

Ever since she separated from Xiangyun, she thought she would have the opportunity to send her back to Yangzhou, but who knew such a thing would happen. She was a little confused.

Xiaoling asked Daiyu to sit there while she cleaned up the room. After all, they would be living here from now on.

Daiyu suddenly said, "It's time now. I can't take my master's house any longer. Let's clean up this place together. At least we have a house to shelter us from the wind and rain!"

After Daiyu finished speaking, the two of them started to fight.

No one knew how long this yard had been abandoned, nor who had lived there before. Daiyu and Xiaoling could only clean up the room they lived in so that it wouldn't be too dirty.

By evening, although the house was still shabby, it was much cleaner.

All the discarded furniture was moved out, leaving only the table and chairs for Daiyu and Xiaoling to use for their meals.

The bed was cleaned. Although it was an old bed, it was big enough for the two of them with the mattress and sheets.

Daiyu found a few patched beds, and the two of them took them out to dry in the sun for an afternoon, and then brought them in to spread on the beds.

Although it is shabby, after being exposed to the sun for an afternoon, the previous musty smell is gone.

The two found an abandoned water tank. Behind the house, there was a small spring with dripping water.

Daiyu thought, as long as we have water, we can get out alive.

At this moment, two maids came over and shouted, "Xiaoling, come and get your food!"

Daiyu looked at Xiaoling and quickly asked her to get the food.

Daiyu thought that the eldest lady had sent her and Xiaoling here to fend for themselves.

Unexpectedly, they were not so extreme. At least they had food to eat and a place to live. So, as long as they could live well, there was hope.

When Xiaoling came in, she looked frustrated and cried, "Miss, the food they gave us is so delicious that even servants wouldn't eat it!"

Daiyu saw that it was just a few steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and she quickly comforted her: "This is already very good. I thought it was rotten food, but at least it's still edible."

As she spoke, Daiyu and Xiaoling washed their hands and began to eat the food voraciously.

After working for a whole afternoon, they were so hungry that they didn't care about their image at all.

In a short while, the food was eaten up.

In this way, the two spent their first night in the woodshed.

This night was too long for them, as if time had stopped.

This night is really hard to get through!

It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness.

Only the small kerosene lamp emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the small space around it.

Under the dim light, the yard outside looked particularly eerie and terrifying, as if it hid countless unknown dangers.

Every time the wind blows, the leaves rustle, which is creepy in the quiet night.

Xiaoling curled up in a ball in the corner of the bed.

She cried and asked, "Girl, no one lives here all year round. Is there any ghost?"

Daiyu hurried to Xiaoling, hugged her, and then quietly comforted her: "Close your eyes, Xiaoling, and forget for a moment that we live here.

Imagine us living in Cuizhuyuan, with its spacious and bright room and soft big bed, and the happy times we three would spend together! "

Xiaoling stopped crying and no longer looked at the dark sky outside the window from time to time, and gradually fell asleep.

"I don't realize I'm just a guest in a dream, I indulge in pleasure for a moment, and I won't lean on the railing alone.

The vast landscape is easy to leave but hard to meet again!

"Flowers fall, water flows, spring goes away, heaven and earth are gone!" Daiyu patted Xiaoling's shoulders gently while quietly reciting Li Yu's poems.

Yes, I have always been a passer-by, but I imagined that this would be my home.

I didn't expect that the people here are so good at dealing with people, but they treat me like this behind my back.

She was also very scared. It was a dark night and the deserted woodshed. It seemed as if there was a monster called darkness outside, which was enough to defeat her and Xiaoling.

However, she told herself not to bow her head and that she would definitely go out with a smile, and the road ahead would definitely be paved with flowers.
