The sweet potatoes dug out of the ground were huge. After roasting, they were hot and fragrant. Peeling off the charred skin revealed the red flesh. It was so delicious that I almost swallowed it with my tongue.
"Miss, this roasted sweet potato is so delicious. It is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life!"
Xiaoru ate two big sweet potatoes in one go, her belly was bulging, but she still wasn't satisfied, so she licked her fingers.
Shen Ning refused to let her eat anymore and said with a smile: "Although sweet potatoes are good, you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will have acid reflux, diarrhea, burping, and, by the way, you will keep farting. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ru was so frightened that she retracted her hand that was reaching for the roasted sweet potato, stuck out her tongue and said, "I won't eat it. I don't want to fart loudly like the prince and the second lady."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
It was late at night, and both the master and the servant slept soundly.
The wooden bed was very narrow and could only accommodate one person. Shen Ning slept on the bed, and Xiaoru spread some thatch beside the bed and made a floor bunk.
In the middle of the night, two wooden windows suddenly opened with a "squeak" and a cold wind blew in.
Shen Ning and Xiao Ru woke up at the same time.
"It's okay, the window was blown open by the wind. Miss, please continue to sleep, and I will close it."
Xiaoru rubbed her eyes, yawned and went to close the window.
Before she could reach the window, a ghostly face with a face as white as paper and disheveled hair suddenly appeared in front of her. He stuck out a blood-red tongue towards her, and made a ghostly sound from his mouth. Ten of them were as curved as chicken feet. His hands were about to pounce on her.
"Ghost, there is a ghost..."
Xiaoru was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he fell to the ground with one foot, almost fainting.
The ghost jumped in from the open window, jumping up and down.
"Mom, you are still a lame ghost..."
Xiaoru was so frightened that she couldn't even scream. She was trembling all over. She closed her eyes tightly and kept mumbling: "Don't eat me, don't eat me. My meat is not delicious. I want to eat you." Go eat the second lady..."
The ghost jumped past her and pounced directly on Shen Ning on the wooden bed.
Xiao Ru was heartbroken, but she still mustered up the courage to hug the lame ghost's feet and shouted: "If you want to eat me, don't touch my eldest lady!"
The ghost suddenly jumped up to the bed and gave Shen Ning a ferocious smile.
"Miss, run!" Xiao Ru screamed.
Shen Ning sat up and instead of running away, she faced the ghost and reached out to catch the ghost's tongue.
"Hey, your tongue is so bad at pretending. You can tell it's fake at a glance. Do you think it's like tying a red cloth strip on your tongue? And where did you get the torn hair? It's fake. , It’s too fake! And these clothes, tsk tsk tsk, next time you want to pretend to be a ghost, I’ll teach you!”
As she spoke, she pulled off the ghost's red tongue, messy hair, and pulled on the ghost's clothes.
The ghost was so frightened that he grabbed his belt with both hands and jumped back, shouting: "My aunt, don't pull, don't pull."
He almost tripped over the ghost robe that he dragged to the ground, and was in a state of disarray.
Shen Ning got out of bed with a smile, threw the red tongue and hair on the ground, walked up to the ghost, and grabbed the ghost's ears.
"Hello, Xiaobai. You haven't shown up for several days. When you show up, you pretend to be a ghost to scare your sister. You scared my girl half of her life. What do you think I should do to punish you?"
The ghost's eyes widened and he said frustratedly: "You are still a girl! Are you not afraid of ghosts in the middle of the night?"
