……

“holle，……”

Bang~~!

Qi Siyuan slammed his fist on the mural hanging in the doorway. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info smashed all the words that the middle-aged man who looked like a European-style Western butler in the portrait was going to say.

"Today you put up a portrait of me, do you hear? Otherwise, I'll chop you up and burn you!" Qi Siyuan used the door panel to block the sight of Aunt Wang behind him, lowered his voice, and threatened the man in the portrait.

Bring~~Bring~~, the middle-aged housekeeper in the portrait covered his nose and nodded hurriedly and obediently.

"Xiao Qi, who are you talking to?" Aunt Wang pushed open the door and looked around suspiciously, but didn't see anyone.

"Nope. Auntie, I was just contacting English. …… mayihelpyou~？ Don't you think this sentence has a British London accent? Qi Siyuan suppressed his throat and imitated the tone of the middle-aged housekeeper to cover up.

Aunt Wang didn't believe it. She had clearly heard someone talking to Qi Siyuan just now. But she searched carefully behind the door, but found no sign of anyone, so she gave up.

Then, Qi Siyuan shouted that he wanted to prepare lunch for Aunt Wang, and quickly ran to the kitchen to get busy. And Aunt Wang has the time to carefully look at the hall of this villa.

The first thing he paid attention to was naturally the decorations that she had just checked at the gate several times: high-end carpets, gorgeous wall paints, and shoe racks in just the right place...... She didn't look at these furnishings carefully just now, but this time she paid special attention. Only then did I notice that on both sides of the wall at the door, there were still a few strange murals hanging.

That's right, it's weird!

Most of the portraits look like the unfinished work of a famous master. They are obviously extremely beautiful and ancient in various margins and environments, but the place in the middle where there should be people or a certain main subject is blank.

It feels like a ...... It's like someone inside has snuck away!

But there is one that does not seem to be like that.

The painting depicts a housekeeper standing in an ornate hall. He wore shiny parted hair, a pretty mustache, a modest black tuxedo, a pair of spotless white gloves, one hand behind his back, one hand in front of him. There was also a neat white towel on the arm in front of him. In his embarrassed eyes, it seems that he can faintly see his loyal, careful, and proficient management wisdom......

This portrait of a housekeeper is extremely expressive! So much so that Aunt Wang's attention was all attracted by the mural. But just after Aunt Wang stared at the portrait of the housekeeper for more than a minute, she suddenly discovered something that made her feel frightened.

The portrait bleeds!

A red ink color, like real blood in the painting, flowed out of the nostrils of the middle-aged housekeeper inside, and dripped on the white towel on the butler's arm with a click~click~, leaving a dotted red spot.

Aunt Wang couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes vigorously with her hands, pale.

But after she rubbed her eyes, the portrait returned to the first time she saw it in the blink of an eye. The butler still stood in the painting with a faceless and respectful, no red ink, no nosebleeds, and no white towels dyed red! It's as if everything is an illusion......

Kick~~, Aunt Wang took two steps back in disbelief, and didn't stop until her back was pressed against the wall of the other wall. While she was afraid, she didn't dare to stay at the door for a long time.

It wasn't until Aunt Wang walked away that the middle-aged housekeeper in this portrait suddenly squatted down with his hands over his nose in pain. Qi Siyuan's punch when he entered the door was too hard, and it was really not easy for it to endure it until now.

The white gloves he wore on his hands behind his back were already partially dyed red. The butler quickly turned over the white towel on his arm, and carefully wiped the nostrils that were still a little red with the side that had already dripped a few drops of red liquid.

……

Aunt Wang quickly ran to the back window of the hall and took a few deep breaths before gradually suppressing the doubt in her heart. But when she raised her eyes to see the scenery of the back garden outside the window, her heart sank.

Autumn winds, fallen leaves, dead grass, iron railings, and a sealed dry well in the garden......

This doesn't seem like much on a normal day, at most it's just a little desolate because the garden has not been cleaned for a long time. If this person is a literary and artistic young man, in a good mood, he may still think that this garden is very poetic. But Aunt Wang, who was frightened, looked like a scene that was seventy percent similar to that in a horror movie at this time, but she felt a faint depression. is in the "Death is Coming" series, when the Grim Reaper is coming, people feel stuffy in their hearts.

Whew~~~~, a cool breeze blew outside the house, rolling up layers of autumn leaves flying around. Of course, in Aunt Wang's opinion, this gust of wind is a "strange wind"!

A blackened leaf that had been half rotted and had experienced one or two autumn rains happened to fall on the windowsill. The empty part on it looks a bit like a face in a stick figure, which is nothing. But when Aunt Wang saw it, she felt that this person's face seemed to be a demon smiling at herself, and issued an ultimatum of death.

At this time, the rhizome of a certain tree in the iron railing of the back garden, like a thick yellow snake, moved strangely. Frightened, Aunt Wang quickly closed the window, and walked quickly to the dining table and sat down restlessly.

……

"Aunt Wang, look at the braised fish, steamed bamboo shoots, pork rib soup, honey yam ...... I made"

As the names of the dishes broke out one by one, Qi Siyuan put these dishes on the table one by one, which may not be able to be made in an hour or two. But Aunt Wang was still immersed in the thriller plot just now at this time, where would she notice that this was inappropriate?

It's just that Aunt Wang's face made Qi Siyuan mistakenly think that these dishes were not quite to her appetite, and decided to 'borrow' a signature dish with enough portions from a nearby five-star hotel.

"Ou~, that's right! There is also the most critical one 'Super Invincible Seaview Buddha Jumping Over the Wall', Auntie Wait a Minute......" After he finished speaking, he went into the kitchen, closed the door, picked up the kitchen knife, and cut it on the cutting board, pretending to be cooking.

But when Qi Si was far away, Aunt Wang discovered a strange event that frightened her:

The huge wardrobe in the hall, which was at least hundreds of pounds, was actually shaking gently!

Now there are no earthquakes, and there are no major construction sites around. The sound of intercommunication ~ intercommunication ~ and the slight shaking movement really look as if a certain beast and evil ghost are imprisoned inside.

If you add to it a certain woman screaming, hoarsely shouting "Let me out!" "The lines in this kind of thriller, the sound of contact with the human body and the plank, can directly make a good box office horror movie.

In fact, there is no need for dubbing at all, and she is already a little frightened, and Aunt Wang can already make up for it at this time......

"Who? Who's in it? ”

Although Aunt Wang was scared in her heart, after all, she had received decades of atheist education, and she still did not believe that there were ghosts in this world. She cautiously approached the closet and shouted softly inside.

Hearing Aunt Wang's voice, the contents of this cabinet seemed to be frightened. The shaking movement died down in an instant. But just as she was about to return to the table, the cabinet began to shake slightly.

This time, even Aunt Wang, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, is really untenable. She moved her limpy legs closer to the closet, and a pair of trembling hands approached the closet handles. After holding the closet door, she resisted the urge to immediately change hands and run away, gritted her teeth and pulled the handle hard......

Empty~!

Of course, it can't be considered a vacuum.

Aunt Wang slowly opened her eyes, but found that there were no "dirty things" in the wardrobe except for some simple spare clothes and a few sheets.

"Whew~~, it turned out to be a false alarm. Scare yourself ......"

But at this moment, the wardrobe was interconnected again~, and the slight shaking of the intercommunication~ was so shocked that Aunt Wang couldn't hold back anymore, and suddenly sat down on the ground, and cried out "ah~".

"Meow~~!"

A cat meow, as if with anger and scolding, came from behind Aunt Wang. The movement of the cabinet disappeared and converged in an instant. She turned around to meet Tom's golden cat's eyes. It was Qi Siyuan's Tom who was supposed to sleep in a drawer.

Although, the cat didn't know where it came from, it undoubtedly "saved" itself just now. Moreover, thinking of "cats can ward off evil spirits", Aunt Wang felt more and more that the gray fat cat in front of her was even more cute.

"Aunt Wang, what's wrong?"

Qi Siyuan heard Aunt Wang's exclamation and walked out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife. I happened to see Aunt Wang sitting on the ground with a pale face, while Tom looked at him innocently.

"Did Tom's stupid cat scare you?" After Qi Siyuan carefully helped Aunt Wang up, he immediately gestured with a kitchen knife to Tom with a 'I am innocent' expression.

"No, no! …… Why did you scare it with that knife, what scared me just now...... It's a mouse, thanks to Tom. It's a shame that it drove away the rats and saved the aunt. Is it called Tom? …… What a good boy! ”

As she spoke, Aunt Wang fondly stroked Tom's soft head. The dead cat immediately squinted its eyes and pretended to be cute with a look of enjoyment.

Mouse? Could it be Jerry? Qi Siyuan guessed. But it's good to take the cabinet and block it there!

Of course, with Jerry's physical fitness, which is several times stronger than that of a tiger, it is naturally no problem to penetrate the cabinet, or make another hole or something. But after this rat had been repaired a few times before, he no longer dared to make holes and destroy furniture at will. The rat would never dare to commit another crime, Qi Siyuan was confident in this.

But what is that? Could it be that Aunt Wang lied? What is she trying to hide?

…… After seeing the wardrobe door opened, Qi Siyuan figured out a certain key. While he blamed himself for not thinking it through, he also knew how to appease Aunt Wang.

"Mouse~? How can it be! There are rats in this villa.

…… Okay~, at the beginning, they patted their chests and assured me that there would never be mice. No, I'm going to call the property company and ask them to compensate! Qi Siyuan's eyes were full of anger, and he said indignantly.

"This ...... Xiao Qi, maybe I was dazzled just now. You know, when you're older, you're prone to this problem. Maybe it wouldn't have been without mice...... In case someone else's property company comes over and doesn't find a mouse, aren't you also responsible? Forget it, forget it! ”

Aunt Wang was a little embarrassed, her eyes flickered, and she persuaded Qi Siyuan with a calm expression.

"But...... Aunt Wang, really not? ”

"Not really!"

"Okay, let's hurry up and eat, wait a while, the food won't taste good when it's cold." Qi Siyuan pointed to the sumptuous meal that had been prepared on the table a long time ago.

As soon as he said about eating, Tom immediately became excited. It suddenly jumped out of Aunt Wang's arms and scurried onto a high chair. While pulling a plate over for himself, he looked at the exquisite food on the table with his saliva in his eyes.

"Tom, let me go down~!" Qi Siyuan shouted at Tom.

If it's a weekday meal, Tom will be on the table. But Aunt Wang is still here, and it shows the wisdom of human beings, isn't it too weird?!

"Meow~~."

Tom pulled his ears away from his seat, looking battered and lost. After letting Aunt Wang on the side see it, she immediately relented.

"Forget it, forget it. You kid, scare it again...... I don't pay much attention to the environment when I eat. Besides, I think Tom must be very well-behaved if he is so sensible. Aunt Wang touched Tom's head and said lovingly.

"Meow~~!" Tom immediately jumped back into his chair excitedly. Pick up the spoon with one paw and serve yourself a bowl of pork rib soup......

"Ahem~~!" With coughing, Qi Siyuan's sharp eyes glared at once. Frightened, he quickly threw away the spoon and pretended to be an ordinary cat waiting for the owner to feed him food.

"Nuo~, this plate of braised fish is yours, and other things are not allowed to be touched, do you know?" Qi Siyuan put a plate of braised fish weighing several catties in front of Tom and said.

Don't look at this fish so heavy, it's actually already on Tom's diet. Tom, who has been strengthened by him several times, is definitely comparable to players above level 10 in terms of physical fitness. Even if it and Jerry were both sealed at 90% of their strength, it would not be surprising to eat too much.

It's just that this gray fat cat is a typical foodie! I usually catch mice, and I don't look after my house, and I eat so many things that all grow into meat. If this continues, Tom's name will be changed to Garfield!

……

I don't know if the fright of her old man has not subsided, after lunch, about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, it is still early after dark, Aunt Wang opened her mouth and said that she wanted to leave.

"Auntie, you're leaving?" Qi Siyuan said with some reluctance. But seeing Aunt Wang's determined look, he couldn't persuade him anymore.

After Qi Siyuan drove the car and sent Aunt Wang to the door of the house, Aunt Wang took his hand and nagged:

"Hey~, seeing that Xiao Qi is also doing well, Auntie is relieved.

It's just such a big villa, and it's really not good for you to live alone. Now that you have a house, I think it's time to talk about a girl. Auntie is looking for one for you these days, don't turn off your phone. ”
