"Not bad! Not bad! ”

Seeing this, the corners of Ji Xiaoyou's thin lips rose upward, and he couldn't help but nod in praise, and for a while, his stuffy mood finally relaxed again.

But who knows, at this moment, in the quiet environment, a breeze blew, and vaguely, there was a sudden movement.

Suddenly, Ji Xiaoyou's footsteps froze, and he hurriedly raised his attention and listened attentively.

"Wow Wow...... Woowoo woo ......"

After careful distinction, I can also listen to a rough idea. It seems to be the whimper of a puppy, it seems to be there and nothing, intermittent, but when it enters the ear, it is obviously infiltrated with a painful feeling.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoyou couldn't help frowning, and his face was hesitant.

Directly, she specially asked Fan Yichen why she didn't raise some small animals in the manor. The reply was that he had no time for scruples, so he didn't have a single living thing.

But now, how can there be the sound of a puppy. And, it sounds so painful.

For a while, Ji Xiaoyou's curiosity was immediately aroused. After bowing her head and groaning, she immediately made a bold decision to find out.

After making up his mind, Ji Xiaoyou deliberately increased his attention, listened carefully to the source of the sound, and then raised his legs, walked lightly, and cautiously looked for it.

After a while, I came to the corner of the garden. And the dog's mournful screaming became louder and louder, Ji Xiaoyou stopped, raised his eyes and swept it, only to see a circular entrance faintly revealed in the place covered by the flowers on the wall.

What Ji Xiaoyou can be sure of is that the dog's screaming voice came from there. Immediately, without any hesitation, she hurried over.

Standing still and looking at the circular entrance, there is a ladder that goes down. It turned out that there was a cellar in it.

In order to find out, Ji Xiaoyou did not hesitate, and while improving his concentration, he moved quickly and climbed down little by little.

This cellar is not very deep, and roughly estimated, it is only as high as a two-story building! So soon, Ji Xiaoyou landed steadily.

His brows furrowed, and he glanced up, only to see that the light inside was very dim, and it was not the kind of area that could be seen at a glance like an ordinary cellar.

Instead, there are corners, which are connected to each other by a corridor more than one person wide. At first glance, it gives people a very depressing feeling.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoyou couldn't help but hesitate. But it was only for a moment, and the look of fear disappeared without a trace. Turned, and replaced by unending steadfastness.

The matter has come to this, how can she give up halfway with her heart, and what she says, she must also find out and find out.

Then, Ji Xiaoyou stretched out his hand, took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, held it high, and walked in cautiously while shining on it.

As the distance narrowed, the air was filled with a strong smell of decay, mixed with the feeling of wet moisture, which couldn't stop drilling into her nose, very choking.

Suddenly, Ji Xiao bit the corner of his lip and couldn't help frowning. It's just that at this time, she didn't care about so much, because the puppy's painful whimpering sound became louder and louder, and it seemed that as long as she turned the corner next to her, she would see the truth.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoyou took a deep breath, turned his heart sideways, suddenly increased his speed, and rushed forward directly.

But who knows, at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly happened.

Without any warning, a figure on the other side of the corner rushed out at a very fast speed, rampage, and couldn't help but say, the body was horizontal, directly blocking the way.

At the same time, in a low and hoarse voice, with a thin layer of anger, he asked unpleasantly, "Who is it?" ”

Suddenly, Ji Xiaoyou's heart was shocked, and without any defense, he was immersed in this terrifying atmosphere, and he was immediately taken aback.

In a panic, she hurriedly calmed down and stopped with difficulty. This was just the moment before he was about to hit the opponent, and finally stopped the trend of rushing forward.

In the blink of an eye, he hurriedly raised his head, looked carefully at each other, and looked at each other.

But after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Ji Xiaoyou's heart trembled violently, and he was suddenly taken aback.

I saw that it was a face hidden under the mask, a black dress, from head to toe, tightly wrapped, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

In the dark environment, his pupils were clenched, and from time to time there was a cold dark light.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but suddenly, when the four eyes met, Ji Xiaoyou easily caught a trace of hostility and murderous aura in his fierce eyes.

It's just that he was slightly stunned, and when he looked at the past carefully, the hostility and murderous aura disappeared without a trace. Instead, all that is left is a piece of indifference and alienation. 360 Literature Network

"Is that you?"

The corners of the other party's thin lips hooked upward, and he muttered softly with deep meaning.

At this time, Ji Xiaoyou was taken aback, his heartbeat accelerated, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet. Naturally, a moment of negligence did not notice the strange meaning in these two words.

"In the middle of the night, you are a woman who is really bold, what are you doing in this ghost place?"

Like a big mountain blocking in front of her, the other party's tone seemed to be soaked with a trace of dissatisfaction, and asked again.

"I heard the puppy screaming in pain, so I came and looked. Here......"

"You heard me wrong, there's no puppy barking. If you don't believe me, listen carefully. ”

However, Ji Xiaoyou's words to explain were ruthlessly interrupted by the other party as soon as he was halfway through. The tone is stiff and indefensible.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoyou was slightly stunned, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but look at him deeply several times with a thick scrutiny.

Instinctively, in order to verify the authenticity, listen carefully to his voice.

Sure enough, at this time, the surroundings were quiet, and there was not even a sound, let alone the sorrowful scream of the puppy, as if everything before was really just an illusion.

Merely......

In the rotten and moldy smell, there is a faint smell of blood. The two are entangled together, because there are strong and weak, it is difficult to detect.

It's just that Ji Xiaoyou is delicate, smart and alert, and with his keen sense of smell, he still easily captures this strangeness.

Immediately, my heart couldn't help sinking, and I immediately became vigilant.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Xiaoyou looked at him and said tentatively: "What about you?" And who? Why did you hide in this gloomy cellar in the middle of the night? ”

When she calmed down, she was powerful in her gestures, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she unceremoniously asked questions.

When the words fell, I saw that in the other party's slightly constricted eyes, a trace of murderous aura flashed at an accelerated speed. It's just that the speed of disappearance is extremely fast, even negligible.

Then, he opened his mouth coldly and explained: "I am the gardener of this manor. Because I was researching a new variety of flowers, I chose this place as a research base. Because this new variety of flowers has a very special property, from the seed to the germination of seedlings in the early stage, they are afraid of the sun, but prefer the dark and humid humidity in the air. And in the whole estate, the only thing that echoed the request was this cellar, which did not see the light of day all year round. ”

His face was expressionless, his explanations were unhurried, and he didn't see the slightest trace of lying.

"I didn't expect that there were such strange flowers!"

Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyoudai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and between her eyebrows, a shallow hesitation kept floating, with her smart mind, she always felt that there was something unspeakably strange.

"The world is full of wonders. Shallow knowledge, no wonder there is a fuss. ”

Immediately, I saw that the gardener's face sank, and his voice was hoarse, and he unceremoniously scolded her.

At the time of the confrontation, it was obvious that because of Ji Xiaoyou's questioning, the other party had begun to feel unhappy. Moreover, this kind of unkind malice, without any scruples, was directly and unabashedly revealed.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaoyou's pupils frowned, but with her forbearance, she naturally wouldn't tear her face directly with the other party when she didn't figure things out.

So, after a pause, she asked tentatively, "You wrapped your whole body tightly, and even covered your face with a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes." Aren't you afraid of the heat? ”

After finishing speaking, Ji Xiaoyou's pupils narrowed slightly, his sharp eyes were not instantaneous, staring at his face for a moment, deliberately raising his attention, wanting to capture as many strange traces as possible on his expression.

Such a weird outfit, if it is not said that there is a ghost in the heart, then it is really wrong!

However, after the words fell, he saw that the gardener seemed to be in a trance, and after a flash of pain, he said in a tone of extreme grief: "I encountered a fire before, and although I was lucky to escape death, I was burned beyond recognition, like a ghost. In order not to scare others and annoy people. Therefore, I had to wrap my whole body tightly. Because only in this way can we continue to earn a living in the world and support ourselves. ”

When he lowered his gaze, most of his body was hidden in the shadows, so that people could not see his outline at all.

However, even so, from the sluggish aura emanating from him, it is not difficult to capture the grief and loneliness caused by the old things.

"This ......"

Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyou was slightly stunned, unexpectedly, the truth was actually like this. No wonder, this person behaved strangely, with a slight aggression in his gestures, obviously full of tyranny and anger.

Then, she said slowly: "I'm sorry, it's because of my curiosity that it has aroused your sadness again." ”
