9. The Land of the Cemetery

Nangong can't find anything wrong with the little maid Chiannu's cooking skills, and for a maid who is alone in charge of cleaning, cooking, entertaining, and even taking care of the eldest lady, Chiannu who doesn't have some "moment-pause" ability is already very powerful.

Of course, this is exactly what Nangong himself thinks strangely, which has nothing to do with the thoughts of the machine spirits and Sister Tangerine. To put it simply, whether it is a young lady or a maid, they are all powerful to a strange degree. Far from the world, even the transportation is about to return to the medieval address; The presence of a young maid is not a strange thing, but it is a bit unreasonable to manage so many things alone; Even life is stuck in the environment of the last century and the identity of the musician is still unknown......

This kind of topic naturally can't be mentioned on the rare "candlelight dinner", but unlike Sister Tangerine, who seems to be completely unguarded, until the monotonous but not boring chit-chat time has passed, Nangong, who is lying on the bed that is so soft that it almost sinks in, is still thinking about every movement of Winnie and Chiannu that she saw today.

"If you're still not at ease, how about going out and having a look?"

Just when Nangong was a little sleepy, Xixuan didn't know when she rushed to Nangong's side, but her purpose was naturally not a night attack, but pointed to Elizabeth, who had turned into a cold saber and was resting on the ground.

Do you want to leave Elizabeth alone?

On such a quiet night, any movement that was too big would alarm Elizabeth. Fortunately, Nangong almost understood what Xi Xun meant, otherwise he would have asked him to talk to Xi Xun's ear, but he was afraid that the scene would get out of control.

Elizabeth's personality is slightly rigid. Determined that there was nothing wrong with Winnie, she naturally would not allow herself to walk around other people's homes without permission. So......

After gesturing to Xixin to slip out of the window first. Nangong, who made a "dummy" with a pillow and quilt, also jumped from the window quickly and decisively. Although the fall from the second floor will not cause disability. However, Nangong was still caught by Xixun very intimately with a "princess hug".

"The master is really still suspicious of them." Xixun's voice was extremely low, in fact, except for the insects hiding in the shadows from time to time, the environment in the suburbs was really quiet and a little scary. Although the distance is endless, it is truly "endless", and even at night, the mansion is lit by candles, and it looks like a haunted house that serves as a signpost in the dark.

The appearance during the day is very good, but how many normal people can stand this environment at night? Speaking of which, Winnie and her maid, two young little girls, live here, which is strange in itself.

"Why don't we take a closer look? You should have noticed the strange ...... at dinner."

"A little bit."

Nangong lowered his voice, and at the same time held Xi Xun, who had turned into a knife, in his hand.

That's right. It's just a little bit of a doubt, and maybe it's just a delusion. At dinner, Winnie said with a vague touch, "If the guests have any needs, just tell the maid, don't do it yourself." "This preferential treatment, this is the translated version of Sister Tangerine, I'm afraid it should be about going out at that time.

It's unclear to what extent Winnie is talking about it, but if you take it a little bit, you can interpret it as "you should let the maid know everything you do, even if it's just for a walk", and if you take it in an unceremonious direction, it's better not to go alone.

As the host, it is natural for guests to be unhappy to move around the house at will, and it is not uncommon for a maid to accompany guests when they ask for anything. But......

【Rustle】

The sound of leaves rubbing, but that's not something a bug can do. That is to say......

Is there anyone in the distance?

Nangong forced the sound of drinking back. In such a quiet night, the slightest noise would alarm the owner here. If the person holding the knife found out like that. It's going to be very hard to explain.

Catch up, there is no other way. If it is really human, then I am afraid that only the residents of the town are left in this sparsely populated place, perhaps due to rumors such as the so-called "cute girl living in a mansion in the distance", or some "maid who often goes to buy".

There was a slight vibration in her hand, and the location of the infiltrator who seemed to have blended into the night should also be known to her. So before we know the specifics......

【Click】

Nangong, who suddenly exerted his strength, was very unfortunate to step on a branch, judging from the sudden air current, I am afraid that the other party finally noticed this side. The luck in the misfortune should be the reaction of the other party, even if it is too late to run at this time.

But what followed was not the muffled sound caused by the back of the knife hitting the body, but rather the fact that there was no real feeling of smashing it at all. Hey, got caught? How can anyone have the skill of taking the white blade empty-handed......

Immediately afterwards, the other party seemed to give up the idea of dodging the knife and chose to turn around and run away, although the move of not grabbing Xixun should be regarded as a great blessing for it in some sense, but it was not too cool for Nangong. The reaction was quite fast, and he didn't hesitate to take the slash with his hand, not to mention whether this strength was a thief who came to patronize, even if it was, there was no need to run immediately......

Without any hesitation, Nangong, who immediately followed after him, finally suddenly thought of another possibility after the other party's figure disappeared, but judging from the time of reaction, it was obviously a lot late.

If you break away with one blow, you can remove the reason of timidity, and the rest is deliberate. So the guy who didn't even see his gender clearly just now was able to catch up when he ran away at first, but the reason why he disappeared when he reached a certain distance must be to lure himself here. Regardless of who that guy is, the place where he brought himself doesn't look so pleasant......

"Graveyard ......"

Nangong muttered, held the weapon tightly, and began to silently walk towards the tombstones that looked extremely cold under the moonlight not far away. Judging from the distance of the attack just now, even if the movement is a little louder now, no one will notice it. Of course, it is not ruled out that the possibility that the guy is still hiding somewhere.

As far as the slightly barren knowledge in Nangong's mind is concerned, it is not strange what kind of property the princes and nobles owned at that time a hundred years ago, and the cemetery that symbolizes the "belonging of death" will naturally be included in it, and the burial places of the nobles tied by the family system after death are basically together. And if there are a large number of cemeteries, it cannot be said to be a cemetery, but a cemetery.

As long as the nobles with a slightly larger family business should keep and cherish the resting place of their ancestors' bodies, it seems that Winnie's family also has such a habit, after all, there is only one mansion in the vicinity. However, as far as the surrounding environment is concerned, even if the cemetery cannot be as strict as the residence, it is too cluttered.

Not only do the fallen leaves on the ground look like they haven't been cleaned for a long time, accumulating a thick layer, but even the cemetery itself has begun to exude a smell of "death". If you look back, even the fence at the entrance has corroded and melted into the earth, and the corners and corners of some tombstones have even fallen off, looking dilapidated.

Is it true that there is no one to manage anymore? But it was clear that the cemetery was not far from Winnie's house at all, and for an extremely efficient maid like Chiannu, it would not be difficult to even take the time to sweep up the fallen leaves, but why didn't she do it?

And not only that, but it is not even mentioned. Not only the cemetery, but even Winnie's introduction to herself at dinner was perfect for avoiding all information about her family, which should have been a matter of pride for an old nobleman.

Is it inconvenient to mention as a "declining" nobleman, or is it ...... What does everything I see now have to do with Winnie and the maid? (To be continued......)
