Chapter 3 Call from Death (1)

In the next few days, the task assigned by Ah Jiu and Su Ya was still to dry the clothes.

But after what happened last time, Suya moved further away from Ah Jiu, completely avoiding her.

Ah Jiu knew that she was doing it for her own good, but some things couldn't be solved by just hiding from her.

Although the weather is good today, the wind is not light, and it is said that it will rain heavily in the evening. Therefore, Ah Jiu and the others must complete the drying work before noon, and put away the clothes before it rains. Time is very tight.

In the afternoon, it is a rare half-month holiday for the maids of the Clothing Bureau, and no one will do laundry anymore.

Seeing that noon was approaching, some of the palace maids had finished washing their clothes and were already going to the dining hall in twos and threes to get their meals. There were fewer and fewer people at the Huanyi Pond, and Ah Jiu's work was gradually coming to an end.

As long as the last basin of clothes is dried, she can rest.

At this moment, a strange wind suddenly rose up, and the yard was filled with flying sand and rocks. When the strange wind stopped, Ah Jiu found that the palace dress that had just been dried in front of her was gone.

When he looked up again, he saw that it had been blown into the air by the strange gust of wind, and then fluttered on the high eaves.

"What's going on?" Aunt Yun rushed over aggressively.

Due to the strange incidents happening in the Clothing Bureau one after another, Aunt Yun has been sitting in the yard these days, supervising everyone's work.

At this moment, she was about to finish the day's work safely, but something happened again. How could she not be angry.

As if he glanced at the other corner where Su Ya was inadvertently, Ah Jiu narrowed his eyes and said slowly to Aunt Yun:

"Auntie, the wind has blown the clothes to the roof."

"Ever since you arrived, the clothes department has been busy!"

Looking up at the place where the clothes were hanging, Aunt Yun's triangular eyes glared, and she stamped her feet and yelled loudly: "Those are Miss He's clothes, hurry up and pick them up!"

"Yes." Ah Jiu responded, and hurriedly went to find the bamboo pole leaning against the wall, trying to pull off the clothes.

But the bamboo pole was too short and could not reach the high eaves.

"Idiot, there is a ladder over there, why don't you climb up and take it down."

As Aunt Yun spoke, she leaned her thick back against the trunk of a nearby sycamore tree, hugged her shoulders with her hands, and cursed fiercely.

"But the roof is so high. If you accidentally fall down..."

Looking at the high eaves, Ah Jiu frowned slightly.

Before she could finish her words, Aunt Yun scolded her again: "Go if you are told to go. If you don't go, why don't you let me go? You bitch, you can't fall to death so easily!"

Seeing Aunt Yun's mean expression and fat body, Ah Jiu had no choice but to shake her head, walk to the ladder in the corner, and slowly climb up the ladder to the roof.

The roof was very sloping. Ah Jiu walked carefully on the roof. With the sound of the roof tiles clicking on her feet, she finally reached the eaves.

The ridge starts from the cornice and gradually converges to Jubaoding. Therefore, the cornice is the narrowest, most sloping and most dangerous place. If you are not careful, you will fall off the roof.

However, the viewing angle here is also the best. Ah Jiu can almost have a panoramic view of the entire Huanyi Bureau.
