A smoky dinner is finally over. Du Hengnian returned to the bedroom with a sigh of relief!

The night was so dark that there wasn't even a star, like boundless ink smearing the sky.

Du Hengnian walked to the window boredly, and there was a dark and oppressive forest behind the villa. Suddenly, a familiar white shadow ran out.

Du Hengnian stared wide-eyed and watched carefully. "Mom!" Du Hengnian exclaimed, why is my mother here? Hurriedly ran downstairs to the back of the villa.

The lights in the villa suddenly went out, and it was gray in front of him, Du Hengnian's heart suddenly tightened, as if there were countless cold little snakes crawling on him.

The surroundings were quiet, the clouds and mist in front of me, a gust of wind blew, and the trees stretched out like ghosts and claws. Faintly, a man's miserable cry kept coming to my ears.

Du Hengnian looked around with the sound in shock, realizing that his mother would definitely not appear in Du's house at this time. Her heart immediately hung in her throat, and she immediately ran desperately in the direction of the villa, and there seemed to be an invisible ghost following her tightly behind her. The ghost shadow approached step by step, Du Hengnian clearly felt that the ghost's hands had reached her back, she was about to suffocate, the soles of her feet slipped and rolled into a lotus pond full of dense, intertwined water snakes, the ghost was close at hand, she struggled desperately, she actually saw the ghost's face clearly, it turned out to be the man in white who had been as warm as jade in the nightmare, she began to despair, crying silently, tears blurred her eyes......

Du Hengnian woke up crying from the nightmare and found that there was a bright hall in front of him, and he was lying in the bathtub in the bathroom, which turned out to be another nightmare.

She put on her pajamas and didn't care about the shiny things next to the tub. He walked out with his feet up, frowned, and looked up, and the alarm clock on the table showed that it was half past twelve in the morning.

She didn't feel sleepy, and she knew it would be impossible to fall asleep again tonight. So I found a study material in my schoolbag and started to do the questions......

A hurried mobile phone rang suddenly, breaking the fresh and quiet morning. Du Hengnian put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his neck with his hand, picked up his mobile phone and connected the phone.

"Niannian, today you are at home by yourself, what do you want to eat, tell the kitchen to do it, we have to go out in advance." Du Jingqi's gentle voice came from his ears.

"Oh, got it, Daddy!" Du Hengnian said tiredly.

Hung up the phone and went to the window to look out at the green woods behind the villa. Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew, and the hairs on his body immediately stood on end. Du Hengnian was frightened, how could the summer wind be so gloomy?

The previous tiredness disappeared, Du Hengnian went downstairs to have breakfast, and after being bored, she involuntarily walked in the direction of the woods behind the villa, as if that place had a huge magic that attracted her.

Du Hengnian walked north along the cement road by the red-edged three-dimensional carpet, and saw a simple and elegant moon-shaped doorway surrounded by green trees.

Walking into the doorway, there is only a tree-lined path that leads to a secluded path.

At this time, a woman who looked like a maid came over: "Miss, there is a forbidden place ahead, please go back." ”

"Forbidden land? Oh, got it, you go get busy. Du Hengnian bypassed the maid and walked into a gazebo, pretending to sit comfortably on a stool and enjoy the scenery.

The maid took a deep look at Du Hengnian and turned to leave.

Seeing the maid leaving, Du Hengnian quickly walked to the deep path just now and ran straight to the depths.

However, she didn't notice a dark shadow following closely behind her.

At the end, there is an old and cold old mansion. A large, rusty lock clasped the vermilion wooden door.

On both sides of the house stretches out about three meters high courtyard walls. What's the scene inside? From the rust on the lock, it can be seen that no one has been in it for a long time, and it seems that no one lives there. Why did the high wall and the deep courtyard become a forbidden place? It is clear that there is an ulterior secret to be able to become a forbidden place......

Du Hengnian walked back while thinking, and fell into a pond full of silt without paying attention.

Du Hengnian, who was so frightened, struggled in the pond and fell deeper and deeper.

At this time, a man dressed in a servant's costume quickly took off his clothes, rubbed his big hand agilely, formed a rope, and threw it towards Du Hengnian, who was not possessed by his soul.

Du Hengnian quickly grabbed the rope thrown by the man, and because there was too much silt in the pond, the man struggled to save Du Hengnian.

Du Hengnian, who was covered in mud, lay on the shore without an image and gasped for breath, looked at the panting maid sitting next to him, and said, "Thank you for saving me." ”

The corners of the man's mouth hooked: "Oh? So how can Miss Du thank me? I saved the eldest lady's life! ”

Du Hengnian was stunned, and there was a wild and uninhibited aura on the man in front of him that could not be ignored. His eyes darkened slightly: "Then what do you want?" ”

"I want ......" The man's body was slightly close to Du Hengnian and hurriedly moved back: "Stinky to death!" ”

"You're not a servant of Du Zhai? Who the hell are you? Du Hengnian knew that the servants of the Du Mansion were well-trained, and they were absolutely respectful to the Du family.

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes: "My name is Qi Rui!" ”

Looking at Du Hengnian, whose eyes were full of vigilance, he said, "Since I saved you, I am not your enemy." But your Miss Du doesn't seem to be popular. ”

Du Hengnian's deep gaze was a little more sharp and inquiring.

Qi Rui smiled ruffianly: "What I want is very simple, you have a lot of enemies, I have good skills, I will be your bodyguard, each takes what he needs, how about it?" ”

"Purpose?" Du Hengnian narrowed his eyes as if he wanted to see through the mysterious man in front of him.

"It's hard to imagine I'm talking to a seventeen-year-old girl." The man seemed to be joking and laughing at himself: "The purpose is very simple, but I can't tell you yet, but I promise you that I will never hurt you." ”

"Something to do with the Forbidden Land?" Du Hengnian turned his face to look at the quaint and vicissitudes of the house. The deep expression did not look like the expression of a seventeen-year-old girl at all.

"Well, you can say that, how about it? Is it possible to reach a consensus? Qi Rui asked again.

Du Hengnian thought that he really needed allies in this deep mansion compound. What's more, she is just a pawn of the Du family, a person who has temporary use value, so she doesn't mind if the Du family's water is muddy again. Met the man's gaze and nodded.

"Then let's go back, I'm afraid there is still a tough battle waiting for us." Qi Rui urged.

Du Hengnian glanced at him, a little tired, didn't want to ask any more questions, got up and walked towards the villa.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Du Hengnian quickly ran to the bathroom and cleaned the foul smell of mud on his body until it was clean and fragrant.

While she was blowing her hair, the maid knocked on the door and invited her to the living room.

Du Hengnian changed into a pale yellow dress, tied up his hair at will, and came to the living room.
