The three of them got into the car together, and Su Musha and Feng Xuanjing sat in the back, watching Li Nuo drive the car slowly. Su Musha asked, "I see that Mr. Li, your driving skills are very proficient, did you practice a lot before?" ”

Li Nuo replied while observing the road conditions ahead: "No, because I am usually busy with my studies, I don't have much time to practice." Later, I came here, and I had to drive every day when I went out, so I also practiced my driving skills. ”

Su Musha took the rat master off his head, put it in the palm of his hand, and asked, "Then Mr. Li should be familiar with the environment around here, right?" ”

Li Nuo nodded, "Sort of, when I first came, my cousin asked the housekeeper to take our family to familiarize ourselves with the environment here, for fear that we would get lost here, so I am quite familiar with this area." ”

Su Musha's words changed, "Then where are the two weird scarecrows that Mr. Li said?" We haven't looked for ...... yet."

With a tooth-aching brake sound, the car stopped suddenly, and the huge inertia made Su Musha and Feng Xuanjing almost fall headlong into the front seat.

"What's going on?!" Feng Xuanjing forced his anger and asked, what is going on with this person, can't he notify him before he brakes?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Li Nuo hurriedly turned around and apologized, looking a little flustered, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, I just, just ......" Speaking of this, he was a little speechless and stopped, as if he didn't want to mention this topic.

"It's okay, I know it's the first time you've encountered this kind of thing, and it's inevitable that you'll feel scared." Su Musha comforted.

Li Nuo glanced at him gratefully, lowered his head again, and after doing some ideological construction, he whispered: "Those two scarecrows are in the center of the field, blocked by those stalks. That day, I watched them come out of there and disappear again. When I asked someone to go with me to check on it, the two scarecrows actually went back to their original places, and they didn't move, as if nothing had happened...... I, I don't dare to go any further, I always feel like they're staring at me in the dark......"

"You also said that there was a 'scarecrow killing' here, so your uncle also knows that these two scarecrows are wrong, right?" Su Musha asked him.

Li Nuo let out an "um" and looked around hesitantly, before he said mysteriously: "My cousin once whispered to me that in fact, these two scarecrows were possessed by his two elder brothers, so they became like this. When his cousin was seriously ill, his two older brothers joined forces to cause a car accident in order to fight for the inheritance, trying to kill his cousin. Although my cousin was fortunate enough to survive the car accident, he became a high paraplegic and recovered a little later/after treatment, but he was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. And the brothers, I don't know if it was because of a conflict of interest or something, actually killed each other in a fight. When the grandfather learned everything, he was angry and sad, so he gave all the inheritance to his cousin, but the cousin said nothing...... Oh, sorry, I said too much. Li Nuo realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly stopped.

As if he hadn't heard what he said, Su Musha only said, "You mean, in fact, because your cousin's two elder brothers were jealous that he got the inheritance, even after death, they attached their souls to the scarecrow to take revenge on him?" ”

Li Nuo nodded hurriedly, "Uncle Cousin did say so, and the fact that his two elder brothers killed each other in order to compete for the inheritance caused a great sensation at the time, and many people knew about it. ”

Su Musha bowed slightly, and then fell silent, looking thoughtful.

Li Nuo saw that he no longer asked himself, and his assistant didn't have any intention of speaking, so he planned to turn around and continue driving, but he didn't expect his eyes to flicker and fall on the rat master in Su Musha's arms. He screamed, pointed at the rat master and said, "Mr. Su, why did you bring a Dutch rat in?!" ”

His reaction was really violent, causing the two people behind him to look at him at the same time. Su Musha was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with that? ”

Li Nuo looked at the rat master and said, "My cousin hates pets like rats, he thinks they will steal food, so he never allows these pets to enter his manor...... I'm really sorry I didn't tell you in advance......"

The rat was blown up in an instant - who do you say is the rat who steals food? Is my compulsion so low?!

Su Musha shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, he smoothed out the hair of the rat master, and then patted its head. The rat master had to reluctantly crawl into Su Musha's pocket, and he didn't forget to bare his teeth at Li Nuo. Su Musha smiled and said: "My rat master is very well-behaved and won't run out, don't worry." ”

Li Nuo saw that this pet was so understanding, so he was relieved.

In the rest of the journey, Feng Xuanjing was still silent the whole time, but Su Musha and Li Nuo chatted with each other. His cliché ability is first-class, and Li Nuo is not deeply involved in the world, so unconsciously, he quickly explained his situation.

From the dialogue, Su Musha learned that Li Nuo is twenty years old this year, a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, very good at character sketching, and his family background is average; He also has a 10-year-old brother, and this time the family came to his cousin's house as a guest, and when the winter break was over, they would leave.

By the time they finished talking, the car was almost in front of the villa. Su Musha turned his head to look out the window, and just happened to see a scarecrow on the side of the road. Its head was made of cloth wrapped in straw, painted with two eyes like black dots, and a smiling mouth, and there was nothing special about it - just like the most common scarecrow.

When Li Nuo drove the car to the front of the villa and stopped, there was already a middle-aged man in a crisp suit waiting in front of the gate. After seeing that several people got out of the car. He walked over quickly, bowed to the three of them, and said respectfully: "Welcome Young Master Cousin home, and welcome the arrival of Young Master Cousin's two friends, Master has ordered someone to prepare lunch and wait for you in the restaurant." ”

This Steward Ji's hair was gray and neatly combed, without a single messy hair. His face is not old, but his nasolabial folds are very deep, and he wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses.

Li Nuo nodded, and introduced to Su Musha and the others: "This is Steward Ji, who is responsible for managing the affairs of this manor. He said to Steward Ji again: "Thank you Steward Ji, I will bring my friend over immediately, and I won't let my cousin wait for a long time." ”

Steward Ji helped his glasses and said, "Then I won't disturb a few, if you have any needs, please come to me directly." With that, he bowed to the three again, and turned to leave.

Su Musha looked at his back and found that this Ji steward was really well-trained, the distance of each step was almost the same, and the walking posture was even more standard, which could be cited as an example.

Li Nuo saw Su Musha's eyes and explained to him: "Steward Ji has been with his cousin for more than ten years, and he looks at Yan Sù, but he is a very good person. Okay, I'll take you to dinner. ”

Following him, Su Musha and Feng Xuanjing passed through a rather luxurious corridor, both of which were "habitually loaded", so even if it was the first time they came to such a magnificent place, they did not show any curiosity or shock. The rat lord lay in his pocket and nodded with satisfaction, well, the two servants are quite sensible, but they didn't lose my face......

Together, the three of them turned into the tastefully furnished dining room at the end of the corridor. In the center of the dining room is a long, strip-shaped dining table with a variety of mouth-watering dishes. At the head of the table was sitting a man in his forties, dressed in Tang costume, although he had a smile on his face, but because he had a pair of inverted triangular eyes, and a kind of momentum that was not angry and arrogant, it was not easy to get close to him, and the Ji housekeeper was standing beside him and was helping him set up the tableware.

On the left side of the dining table, a man and a woman and a teenage child sat down, who should be Li Nuo's family. The woman was quite beautiful, but her face was very mean, and the man was very obese, and kept wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, and both of them looked very impatient. And the child, that is, Li Nuo's younger brother, was cute and cute, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Li Nuo's, and he was also pouting at this time, as if he was losing his temper.

When the middle-aged woman saw Li Nuo, she immediately reprimanded: "Why are you so slow?!" is such an adult, and someone is waiting for you to eat! Don't you see that your brother is starving?! ”

Li Nuo glanced back at the two behind him with some embarrassment, and then said to the woman with a smile: "Mom, I'm sorry, there was a delay on the way." ”

The woman raised her eyebrows, and she had to lose her temper, "You don't talk nonsense......"

"Alright, alright." At this time, the man in charge, that is, Li Nuo's cousin, spoke, "Cousin-in-law, the child is so old, you have to save more face in front of outsiders, it won't hurt the child's self-esteem." Xiaonuo, come on, come on, take your classmates to sit down and eat together. ”

Although the woman's anger did not subside, since her cousin had spoken, she couldn't say anything, and after glancing at Li Nuo deeply, she turned her head.

Li Nuo answered, and hurriedly took Su Musha and Feng Xuanjing to sit down at the dining table, and when Steward Ji saw this, he walked to their side, set up the tableware for them, and then returned to Li Nuo's cousin's side.

Li Nuo's cousin smiled at the three juniors and said very gently: "Welcome two friends of Xiao Nuo to come here, since you are here, you should treat this place as your home." When you're done eating, let Arnold take you around the manor, young man, don't always be bored in the house. ”

Su Musha and Feng Xuanjing both nodded respectfully, although Li Nuo's mother was a bit superb, but his cousin looked really good.

Nothing special happened during the rest of the meal. But it was Li Nuo's younger brother - that ten-year-old child named Li Ran really opened Su Musha's eyes - he finally saw what an out-and-out bear child was. Perhaps Li Nuo's parents didn't dare to make too much trouble because they were afraid of their cousin's identity. Then this child is really unscrupulous, he is young, and he may be pampered at home, so he is picky and picky when he eats, shouting and screaming, extremely impolite, and his parents don't think there is anything wrong with this, but everything follows him, which makes people have a headache when they look at it.

Su Musha glanced at Li Nuo beside him and saw that his expression was very calm; Glancing at Li Nuo's cousin again, there was no anger on his face, as if the scene in front of him was normal.

Su Musha could only shrug helplessly, what a strange family.
