Chapter 3: Overnight stay

Yan Ning was stunned.

"You may have misunderstood me." Yan Ning couldn't help but defend: "I just want to save people, I don't mean anything else." ”

The housekeeper snorted and frowned: "Since the old lady went to the fairy, my Lu family has closed the door and not accepted guests, if it is not for the insistence of the eldest young master, outsiders should be to purify themselves and drive away evil spirits, worship the ancestors, burn incense and pray for three days before entering the Lu family." ”

Yan Ning was curious about the housekeeper's theory, and also understood that the two were not on the same line at all. She just wanted to explain it clearly to the housekeeper, but was stopped by Lu Heng.

"You don't have to go, they're all dead." At last, he added, "Stay, and I'll take you out tomorrow." ”

Although she had already guessed that no one had survived when she came out, the cold reality still made Yan Ning shiver.

So Yan Ning said, "Okay, let's go out and find a helper...... Let them rest in the earth. ”

The housekeeper led Yan Ning through the arch and came to a small courtyard.

The courtyard was similar to the lobby, and a bamboo broom was thrown at random next to the archway, and at a glance, it was too barren.

Yan Ning couldn't help but wonder, can such a house really be inhabited?

The housekeeper didn't speak all the way until he walked to the front of the house, opened the door, and stepped back a little to signal Yan Ning to enter the house, and then asked her if she had eaten dinner.

There was no light in the room, and a strong musty smell mixed with dust rushed to her nose, Yan Ning looked in through the dim sky, and saw that the quilt was slightly arched, as if there was a person lying underneath.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No more! She was taken aback by her own imagination, and when the housekeeper asked her for the second time, she subconsciously refused, and then she immediately realized that she had overreacted: "I have eaten before I came here." ”

The housekeeper swept Yan Ning strangely, went into the house and lit the candlestick on the table, the warm yellow light turned on, he seemed to know that Yan Ning had a stomachache, and proposed to boil hot water for her, Yan Ning did not refuse this time.

"Miss's clothes are soaked, the weather has been bad these days, if you don't dislike it, you can take the clothes in the cabinet first." The butler gave another stiff smile and left.

The day's rain had stopped, and the wind was blowing cold.

Yan Ning sent the housekeeper away, closed the door, and looked at the room by candlelight.

The lobby seemed to be an abandoned old house, and this house was not much tidy, Yan Ning lit another red candle, and the bright flame made her feel a lot more settled.

Her luggage was broken along with the bus, and she only had a bag with her, and she really didn't have a change of clothes.

Yan Ning thought that the housekeeper was still quite humane, so she simply changed her wet clothes first and moved around the house in short sleeves.

It was a very quaint room, with a bed of the kind with a gauze curtain on the four corner pillars, and a hanger and wardrobe on the right, made of fine rosewood, but it looked very old.

On the left was a papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, and to her surprise, there was a red wedding window flower pasted on it, next to it was a dresser, and directly opposite the door were two Taishi chairs and a coffee table, and a huge red double happiness was hung on the wall.

The furnishings in the house are all red. The red curtains and red bedding are also spread on the bed frame, and if you don't look at the outside environment, the jubilant atmosphere makes her feel that she is in the marriage room.

The room was stuffy, and when the door was closed, the musty smell became even stronger, and there was a lingering smell of decay.

So Yan Ning opened the window and saw the whole yard through the window.

It was dark in the yard, and the lack of electric lights made her very unaccustomed.

The stomach growled twice at an untimely time, Yan Ning took out the chocolate in the bag, swallowed it in three or two bites, and a piece of chocolate was just stuffed between the teeth, which made the worms even hungrier.

It would be nice if there was takeaway here.

She turned on her phone, and this time there was finally a signal, but it was intermittent, and it was only two bars, and she tried to call the police, but she tried several times but couldn't dial it out.

The housekeeper soon returned, and this time he was not alone. Two men came in carrying a large bucket and placed it behind the screen.

Yan Ning thanked the three of them, and tried the water temperature in the past, and it was slightly hot at the beginning, and it was just right to take a bath.

She didn't plan to take a bath, so she carried water to wash the mud off her face, and her fatigue eased a lot.

After drinking the last sip of mineral water, Yan Ning and Yi lay down.

In fact, it was still early, far from the point where she went to sleep, but the mobile phone did not have much power, and the night was so quiet, and the surrounding black lights were blinding, she didn't dare to run around, lying on the bed and slowly adjusting her breathing.

In the second half of the night, the wind picked up, the windows swayed and rustled, and she took out her mobile phone, just in time to see the picture of the mobile phone automatically shutting down because it was out of power. She was a little worried, fumbled and closed the window, and kept hurrying during the day, too hurried, and did not recharge properly.

Looking at an old-fashioned house like the Lu family, I didn't see any electric lights along the way, and maybe I didn't even pull the wires.

The candles quickly burned out and the door creaked.

The surroundings suddenly became cold, she was only wearing short sleeves, and she couldn't help but pull the quilt over her body.

The futon was new, but there was still a musty smell when I smelled it carefully, and Yan Ning became colder and colder the more she covered it, as if she had returned to the time when she was drenched in the rain during the day and walked out of the col. She sat up, trying to see if there were any candles in the room, when there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door.

Yan Ning's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell, and she subconsciously hugged her knees and looked at the location of the door with her eyes open.

It wouldn't be the family that saw her alone and came to do something bad to her.

The dogs in the village barked twice, as if to drive away uninvited guests.

Rao is Yan Ning is bold, but in this environment, she can't help but feel weak, and the Lu Mansion is too quiet, as if she is the only living person in the whole house.

Yan Ning felt a chill in her back, and she suddenly found that the window was blown open, and the wind was blowing towards her face. The door creaked louder, and suddenly a shadow appeared on the wall close to the doorway, swaying, and floated out of the wall little by little, making a gesture of reaching out to her.

What kind of thing is this? She was almost scared to cry, pinching the tiger's mouth, trying to calm herself, thinking of the great compassion mantra that her grandmother often recites on weekdays, and recited it as a dead horse doctor.

It would be nice if the mobile phone had a charge, and at this time she could also play the video of the monk's lecture to strengthen her courage.

After stumbling and reading it again, the shadow seemed to fade a little, Yan Ning was encouraged, so she started the second time, and when she read it for the third time, the candle in the room suddenly lit up. She looked in amazement at the lit candle, which turned out to be whole, with dragons and phoenixes entwined around it.

It was just a normal door panel, as if the ghost that was about to come out was just Yan Ning's illusion.

The self-burning candlelight flickered strangely, she gasped for breath, she told herself that she couldn't relax, but then her spirit suddenly became in a trance, she adjusted her breathing one by one, and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, which made her head dizzy, and slowly lost consciousness.

"Is that her?"

There were two male voices faintly at the door, scattered in the courtyard by the wind.
