Chapter 61: Crying
The cry was intermittent and mixed with the wind. Wanwan and Nian Xia just stood at the door, sounding like a ghost crying wolf.
"Don't be afraid."
Wanwan held her breath for a moment, and her steps were about to move forward.
"Slave... Slave and maid go ahead. ”
Nian Xia stopped Wanwan at once. Even if she was extremely scared, at this time, how could she hide behind her master and be a turtle with a shrunken head?
"It doesn't matter."
Wanwan was not afraid at all.
Not to mention that the ghosts and gods of this world are not credible. Even if she was in the Chen family, she didn't believe that anyone would be able to harm her.
Nian Xia only hesitated slightly, and Wanwan had already taken the lead. In desperation, Nian Xia followed Wanwan closely behind and walked in.
Chen's mansion was deserted, and many things around him were already scattered on the ground.
A pomegranate tree that used to flourish in the small garden behind the wall is now dead.
Everything is so sluggish.
"Woo-woo-"
The cry is still ahead.
Wanwan squeezed the veil tightly, and was a little nervous.
Is there anyone in Chen's mansion? Who could it be? Former servants?
Walking through the end of the verandah, it was already close to the place where the cry sounded. Wanwan followed the familiar road, and after passing the Weeping Flower Gate, it was the backyard.
Suddenly—
A black thing flew in front of me!
"Ahh
Nian Xia was so frightened that she screamed. He took a few steps back.
Wanwan also took half a step back, and the thing that flew in front of her before fell to the ground in an instant.
It turned out to be a black cat?
Black cats have a swarthy body and a slender body. A pair of eyes are extraordinarily deep, green and blue. Looking at it like this, it was as if the evil spirits from hell were looking at them as "uninvited guests".
"It turned out to be a cat."
Nian Xia was really scared.
She knew the tragic situation of the Chen family, and she was naturally nervous. I heard the cry again, for fear of what would happen.
"Slave... Slaves and maids must exercise their courage! Nian Xia bit her lip, her face flushed. I knew that she should have called Xiuyue to come out!
Wanwan shook her head helplessly, and was about to say something to make Nian Xia not nervous, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps at both ends of the verandah.
Someone's coming?
Wanwan immediately pulled Nian Xia to retreat to the corner of the wall, so as not to expose her back.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the black cat that had flown in front of Wanwan before had been standing there, looking at Wanwan and Nianxia.
"Meow."
Black cats are not afraid of people at all. When it saw Wanwan and Nian Xia retreating, it even took a small step forward, with an aggressive posture.
The footsteps gradually stopped.
Wanwan looked around, but she couldn't see people.
This hanging flower gate is the place that connects the front yard and the back yard, and the verandah is staggered, and it is inevitable that there will be some dead ends. They... Could it be that someone found out?
"Nian Xia, squat down."
Wanwan slowly crouched down.
She didn't know why there were other people in this Chen Mansion. And listening to the footsteps, there are at least three or four!
However, there is no one in this world who knows the Chen Mansion better than her. If you want to calculate her in the Chen Mansion, it is absolutely impossible.
"Okay."
Nian Xia also looked around vigilantly, listened to Wanwan's words, and squatted down.
Wanwan pointed to a rockery outside the verandah, and said, "There is a small hole behind the rockery, let's hide in it first and wait and see what happens." ”
"Okay."
The two of them bent their waists, looked at the situation around them, and moved to the rockery step by step.
However...
But the black cat has been following them! From time to time, there will be a meow or two.
Wanwan was sweating profusely, and when she was about to reach the rockery, there were footsteps and the sound of people talking behind her.
"Who are you? Why is it here? ”
