"Cousin, you're here."

"Sister, long time no see, you have a boyfriend."

Seeing them coming, the two new faces spoke, calling Yan Lan's cousin a young man about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and calling Yan Lan's sister a sixteen-year-old girl.

Seeing their seats, Dou Xiaotian glanced at them, and roughly understood the origin of the two people, that girl should be the daughter of Aunt Yan Lan.

As for the young man, it was Uncle Yan Lan, the son of Yan Sifang.

The two of them walked over and went on, Yan Lan sat down next to Yan Sihai, and Dou Xiaotian sat down next to Yan Lan.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Steward Wu pulled a bell, and four women in their twenties dressed as maids walked in with meals.

When they entered, they put down the food, lifted the lid on it, and a steaming smell wafted out, and in a short time there were sixteen dishes on the table.

At the other end of the table, the young man looked at Dou Xiaotian with a faint smile and asked Dou Xiaotian.

"My name is Yan Wu, what's your name, brother?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Dou Xiaotian."

The sixteen-year-old girl also looked at Dou Xiaotian and said.

"Hello little brother, my name is Yan Mei."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Hello."

A few people got to know each other and began to eat, and while eating, Dou Xiaotian tasted the taste of the food, and every dish was very good.

There are still some differences between the food here and the taste of Zhonghai.

The dishes in Zhonghai tend to be salty and spicy in taste, and the dishes here are relatively light, with a faint sweetness in the meals, and it is obvious that the taste of the meals has changed in this place.

When Dou Xiaotian was holding a piece of lamb chops and nibbling on it, Yan Wu said to Dou Xiaotian.

"Brother Xiaotian, looking at your appearance, you are just in your early twenties, you should still be a student, right?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"I'm a sophomore at Zhonghai University."

Yan Wu said.

"That's not the same university as Xiaolan."

Yan Lan said at this time.

"The two of us met in college."

She was a little disgusted in her heart for Yan Wu's efforts to probe Dou Xiaotian's information like checking an account, everyone has their own privacy, why do you ask so clearly.

Yan Wu still said with a smile on his face.

"Xiaolan, I'm also for your good, you're so young, you don't know much about many things in this world, like our Yan family is a rich family, it is inevitable that someone will spy on our family."

After speaking, he said apologetically to Dou Xiaotian.

"Brother Xiaotian, I'm not targeting you."

Dou Xiaotian smiled faintly, and thought in his heart, I feel that you are targeting you. However, when he came over, he thought that such an intrigue like the Yan family must be indispensable when he came, so he didn't care much about this matter in his heart.

Yan Sihai opened his mouth and said.

"I don't know anything else, but I've been in the mall for so many years, and I'm still very accurate in seeing people, Xiaotian, this child, is what I personally fancied in, so naturally he won't be that kind of person."

Yan Sihai knew that if Yan Wu and the others were allowed to continue talking, they might say something ugly, and the younger generation of the big family was arrogant in their hearts, and he knew it.

So he just said it and ended the topic.

Yan Sifang also spoke at this time.

"Since it's the person that the second brother has a crush on, naturally he can't be wrong."

Yan Sise also said.

"The second brother knows people, we all know it."

After Yan Sihai said it, no one said anything about Dou Xiaotian, Yan Wu talked about other things, soon, the dinner was over, after the dinner was over, the second and third generations of the Yan family went to the mourning hall to worship, after the worship was over, except for Yan Sihai and a few people who guarded the spirit, the others went back to their respective rooms to rest.

The funeral arrangements are not too complicated, and the wake today will be prepared tomorrow for the ceremony of burial.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day, Dou Xiaotian and Yan Lan also attended the funeral, it was drizzling lightly, and the cemetery had already been determined, and the coffin was put into the cemetery.

Yan Sihai, Yan Sifang, Yan Sise, everyone took out a memorial text, starting from the largest, mourning on one side, and finally put a row of empty guns, and the matter was over.

After the funeral, they returned to the castle, and when Steward Wu came out this time, he brought a lawyer and read out the will in front of everyone.

The will demanded that the estate be divided into three parts, and that each person receive about 30 percent of his property, as for the remaining 10 percent.

He donated to several organizations for charitable causes.

Finally, the lawyer said that some wills will take effect, that is, two days later, according to the customs of the place where they are, within two days of the burial of their loved ones, they need to be there and cannot go, stay at home.

The meaning of this event is similar to doing a final farewell event with the deceased.

Although they can't leave, but until now, there are no rules to die, as long as they don't leave the confines of the castle, basically, there is nothing to do.

In the afternoon, Yan Lan said to Dou Xiaotian.

"Xiaotian, let's take a walk around the castle together?"

Dou Xiaotian nodded, he was also bored, after he came, he had not been familiar with the castle, so he took this opportunity to see the castle.

As soon as they walked out, they bumped into Yan Mei, who said.

"Sister Xiaolan, Brother Xiaotian, what are you going to do?"

Yan Lan said.

"We want to walk around the castle?"

Yan Mei said.

"It just so happens that I don't have anything to do, so I'll go with you."

The three of them walked up in the castle, and along the way, Yan Mei was like a curious baby, asking all kinds of questions.

"Sister Xiaolan, is there another singing and crying love between you and Brother Xiaotian?"

"Can you tell me about your acquaintance?"

"Is love the same as meeting a prince and a princess, as soon as you meet, you are sure that the other party is the person you need in your life, and it is that heart-warming feeling."

“·······”

Sixteen-year-old Yan Mei, who is at the same age as the flowering season, is full of all kinds of unrealistic ideas about love, and said to Dou Xiaotian and Yan Lan.

Dou Xiaotian and Yan Lan looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Yan Mei was still talking.

"The love I look forward to is that one day, I met the bad guys, a prince charming, stepping on seven-colored clouds, wearing battle armor, and a long sword in his hand, swept the bad guys and saved me from the bad guys."

Hearing Yan Mei's words, Yan Lan couldn't help but flick Yan Mei's forehead and said.

"You're so young, you're thinking about some mess all day long."

Yan Mei said.

"What kind of mess is this called, this is whether love is good or not."

Yan Lan said.

"You're only sixteen years old, it's not good to go to school well, what kind of love do you have."

Yan Mei said.

"What's wrong with sixteen, Jessica in our class, they've already had two boyfriends, and at our school, several people are pursuing me."

"However, I think they are too naïve, not at all like the type I like, the person I like must be a big hero."

"Little kids and little boys aren't my type."

“·······”

Yan Lan flicked some Yan Mei again and said.

"You're still a little kid yourself, what's the reason to say that others are little kids, immature."

Yan Mei said.

"It's just because of me that I don't want to look for the same one."

Dou Xiaotian was also amused by her and said.

"There seems to be some truth to this reason."

Just as he was walking, they had unconsciously walked through most of the castles, and when they came to the garden outside the castle, Dou Xiaotian walked and suddenly stopped.

His gaze looked towards the woods on the opposite side of the garden, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a faint murderous aura in the woods.

Seeing that Dou Xiaotian suddenly stopped his footwork, Yan Lan asked.

"What's wrong?"

Dou Xiaotian continued.

"Nothing."

The murderous aura only existed for a moment, and by the time he looked towards the forest, the murderous aura had disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Am I feeling wrong?

He also had some doubts in his heart, he observed that he obviously felt an unusual aura, but he didn't expect that the aura just appeared and disappeared.

He continued.

"It's been so long, and the castle is finished, let's go back."

Yan Lan nodded, and the three of them returned to the castle, and when they returned to the castle, they met Steward Wu, and Steward Wu greeted them cordially.

"Three, how about a walk?"

Yan Mei said.

"Uncle Wu, this castle is big, beautiful, and very historical."

Yan Lan said.

"The castle is good."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Elder Wu, I want to ask, how is the security of the castle?"

Steward Wu didn't expect that Dou Xiaotian didn't say how he was walking, but when he talked about the security measures of the castle, he was a little curious.

He spoke.

"The security of the castle is very good, there are surveillance in every four corners, and the castle also has a security team, since we have lived in the castle for decades, there has been no overseas business."

Dou Xiaotian nodded and said.

"That's good."

Steward Wu heard Dou Xiaotian's words and asked with some curiosity.

"The little brother asked, did you find anything?"

Dou Xiaotian shook his head and said.

"No, just a casual question."

Then Steward Wu took his leave, he was the steward of the castle, and there were still many things to deal with, so he couldn't chat with them all the time.

Then, Yan Mei also left.

After the two of them left, they arrived at a remote place, Yan Lan asked Dou Xiaotian.

"Xiaotian, did you find something?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"I just feel a little wrong."

Yan Lan said.

"Then do you want to talk to your father?"

Dou Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.

"Still don't, I'll see again."

He doesn't have any evidence now, and rashly alarming Yan Sihai will only make Yan Sihai worried, so it's better not to say it, he will take a look at whether there is any danger.

Soon it was night, and then Dou Xiaotian and Yan Lan separated, he found various interfaces, sneaked into the woods and walked aside, he saw a few cigarette butts and a few footprints under a tree in a forest, and there was nothing else.

With these few things alone, he can't prove anything now, but the crisis in his heart has not disappeared, but has become even more visible.

He took a closer look at the footprints, the footprints and shoe prints were different from the others in the castle, and from the depth of the footprints, he could see that this was a burly man.

A strange burly man, smoking a few cigarettes in the woods opposite the castle, looked in the direction of the castle.

Dou Xiaotian returned to the castle, found Yan Lan, and said.

"Xiaolan, from now until we leave a little, be careful, remember not to move at will, you are going to go there when you leave the room, it is better to talk to me."

Yan Lan saw Dou Xiaotian solemnly warning him, not like he was joking, he said.

"I'll pay attention."

Dou Xiaotian continued.

"Pay attention to this, and talk to your uncle as well."

After dinner, Dou Xiaotian stayed in the room, looking outside, his door was suddenly knocked, Dou Xiaotian walked over and opened the door.

It was Yan Sihai who came over.

After Yan Sihai came in, he closed the door, and then said to Dou Xiaotian.

"Xiaotian, do you feel something abnormal in the castle?"

After Yan Lan told him, he still attached great importance to this matter, and he still believed in Dou Xiaotian's judgment, since Dou Xiaotian said this, there should be a reason.

Dou Xiaotian nodded and said.

"I just felt a little wrong."

"I walked through the woods outside the castle in the afternoon, and in one place I saw a few unusual footprints and a few cigarette butts."

Yan Sihai asked.

"Are you sure it wasn't someone from the castle who secretly smoked and left it there."

Dou Xiaotian said.

"I don't know about cigarette butts, but the footprints are not, I've seen them all in the castle, and the figure and body shape shouldn't be."

Yan Sihai said.

"Then I know, I'll take care of it."

Dou Xiaotian asked about drowning.

"Uncle Yan, the funeral is over, can we leave now, I'm afraid that if we stay any longer, something bad will happen."

Although Dou Xiaotian didn't know if something bad would happen, he felt the danger, and the safest way was to stay away from the danger.

Yan Sihai shook his head and said.

"If we leave now, it will be the greatest disrespect to the second uncle, unless something really happens, something irreparable, otherwise we can't leave."

Dou Xiaotian sighed.

When he didn't make this suggestion, he really didn't work, but he tried to ask anyway, and this was the best solution.

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Uncle Yan, be careful, if something is wrong, remember to find me quickly."

Yan Sihai said.

"I know."

"I have one more thing, please, if there is really danger, I have a request?"

Dou Xiaotian said.

"Uncle Yan, you say?"

Yan Sihai said.

"I hope you can protect Xiaolan as soon as possible, as for me, you can do it."

Dou Xiaotian nodded in agreement, he knew that this was a father's request.
