We waited left and right, but we didn't wait for a letter from the Xiao family, so we had to leave for another trip to Beijing. At that time, the population was as scarce as before, especially near the Xiao family's courtyard, there were almost no residents, and the Xiao Mansion turned out to be an empty "ghost house"!

The door was open, and we pushed it open and entered, and after several calls no one answered. Looking at the dust and cobwebs everywhere, no one has lived in it for more than half a month.

If it had been attacked, it would have been impossible for such a large courtyard not to leave any traces, and the furnishings here were almost exactly the same as the last time we came, and the people inside seemed to have just gone out for something. But what happened to make the entire Xiao Mansion abandon such a large courtyard?

Feeling that something was wrong, the four of us split up to look inside, hoping to find some clues.

Before I knew it, I walked to the main house where Mr. Xiao lived, and the furnishings were almost the same as the last time I came. I remember he had opened the secret compartment near the bed, could there be anything left in it besides the painting? Maybe it's a clue.

waved the dust in front of him, scratched off some cobwebs that stood in the way, and pressed the bed here and there, but he couldn't find the mechanism. I didn't see it clearly that day, I only remember the approximate location, but I didn't move after looking for a long time, what is the reason?

I leaned against the window in frustration, and I heard a "click", and the place where I was leaning against it sank into a piece. But the bed didn't move.

Look under the bed,! Chamber......?!

I wondered if I should call them over and go in and have a look, and I thought I might as well go in first to see if there was anything special.

The secret room was straight down, only one or two meters high, and I jumped straight down. It was pitch black inside, so I had to figure out the phone lighting. It's better to say it's a secret room, but it's a treasure room. A few steps into it, there are shelves full of antiques, porcelain, bronze, jade, gold and silver...... The same does not fall.

I swept through them one by one, and saw that there was no more dust accumulation in this place, which was not as much as outside, probably because it was often cleaned, and it was not airy.

Further inside, I was about to turn around when I noticed a dark shadow in the corner.

I was stunned for a moment, and cautiously touched it: "Who?" Who's there? ”

No one answered, the black shadow remained motionless, and I began to wonder if it was just a pile of laundry thrown there.

"Xiao Xiao?!" I turned it over and took a look, isn't it Xiao Xiao who fainted there! I haven't seen it for about half a year, but I didn't recognize it after a few looks. After probing, her breath was very weak, and looking like this, it was estimated that she had been in a coma for a while.

What happened to the Xiao family, maybe only she knew, I immediately picked her up and walked outside, just came down, I didn't find that there was an iron frame here.

When I went up, I found that Gu Fei and the others were at the entrance of the secret room, I was startled by them, and they were also surprised by me.

"It's ...... Xiao Xiao?! After Gu Fei saw her appearance clearly, he immediately ran over and took Xiao Xiao from my back, "What's wrong with her?" ”

I patted the ash on my body before saying, "I stumbled upon a secret room here, and when I went in, I saw her fainting inside." What happened to the Xiao family, it is estimated that she is an insider. ”

Seeing that she was very weak, she decided to send Xiao Xiao to the hospital first. The sissy rushed to pick up Xiao Xiao, and kept asking me along the way, what does this Xiao Xiao have to do with Gu Fei, I deliberately lied to him: "Lovers, do you believe it or not?" ”

The sissy glanced at Xiao Xiao in her arms fiercely, and glared at me again: "Little white face, don't try to lie to me, take the master to find fun, and the master is not easy to provoke." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be verbose, save people first."

Gu Fei and Bai Liyou were already in the car at the door, and we closed the door of Xiao's house before leaving.

It turned out that they searched around Xiao's house, but they didn't leave any clues, and found that I was gone, so they came to the main room and saw the secret room under the bed.

"Lingyi, what's under this secret room?" While Gu Fei was driving, he didn't forget to ask me about the situation in the secret room.

I smacked my mouth a few times before replying, "Down here, it's all precious antiques, if converted into money, it's enough for a few of us to eat for a few lifetimes." "It's no wonder that when I wanted to buy a painting before, the old man not only didn't mean anything about the money, but also gave it to me for nothing. That painting, to him, is simply a drop in the bucket.

When he arrived at the hospital, Xiao Xiao continued to be in a coma for a day before waking up.

"...... you?"

I told her not to get excited, to lie down, and to speak slowly. Doctors said she was still weak and would need nutrient fluids for the next few days.

She calmed down and told us little by little what had happened......

Half a month ago, probably when we went to Zhejiang, a few people came to Xiao's house with a square porcelain jar about one person high, saying that they wanted to see the old man.

The old man avoided everyone, locked the door, and met with the men alone. But half a day has passed, there is still no movement in the room, Xiao Xiao was worried that something would happen, so he touched the door and peeked, who knows, this porcelain jar actually contains a person, but she only saw the part above the shoulder, and it was the back.

There was no sound in the room, and the person carrying the porcelain jar was seen closing the lid on the porcelain jar again, as if it was ready to come out. Xiao Xiao was startled at the time, and quickly hid, seeing that they appeared again after leaving the inner courtyard and entered the old man's room.

"Grandpa......" But as soon as he walked in, he saw the figure of the old man falling to the ground, "Grandpa! "But it was too late, and the old man had already lost his breath.

She stood up, was knocked unconscious as soon as she turned around, and when she woke up, she collapsed in the secret room with a few pieces of bread and two bottles of water by her side. The secret room was locked up from the outside, and she couldn't get out, so she had to wait for death.

We all know what happened later, we came to Xiao's house and rescued her from the secret room.

After listening to her statement, I have three questions. First, who is so bold that he dares to attack the old man; second, since he killed the old man, why did he just knock Xiao Xiao unconscious and send him to the secret room, and he also left bread and water; Third, after this incident, where did the rest of Xiao Mansion go? It's impossible to disappear into thin air, right?

The sissy leaned on the edge of the window, and after listening to Xiao Xiao's story, she just pouted, and Baili was still silent. Gu Fei glanced at me, and he must have the same question in his heart.
