Chapter 24, the old house is suspicious
"Is the old gentleman mistaken, where is the housekeeper here?" Fang Chao asked suspiciously.
The old butler glared at him, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "The master is resting in the bedroom, if he disturbs the master's dream, even if he is a few distinguished guests, he will not be able to forgive." ”
Fang Chao is also a shrewd person, at this time, he had already seen that there was something wrong with the old housekeeper, but he didn't make trouble immediately, nodded with a smile and silently retreated to Tang Yao's side, and the old housekeeper returned to his original state and continued to lead the way in front.
The group of four made their way through the antechamber, and the destination in front of them looked like the garden of the old mansion.
"Tang Yao, this place doesn't seem to be quite right, Boss Zhang didn't tell me that there is a housekeeper here, and what's the matter with that old man, could it be that there are still people living in this old mansion?" Fang Chao said in a low voice.
Tang Yao replied quietly: "When I arrived at the garden in a while, I found an opportunity to sneak away to another place to take a look, I feel that there must be some secrets in this place." ”
Silent all the way, through the front hall is the garden of the old house of the Zhang family, which occupies a relatively large area, but because it is vacant and untended all year round, the garden now looks particularly messy, withered plants and broken flower pots are thrown everywhere.
"This is the east corner of the old mansion, if a few guests want to hunt for treasures, they can explore here, don't walk around and disturb the old man's rest." After the old man finished speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave.
Fang Chao stopped him and said, "We have never mentioned the four words of the east corner of the old mansion since we came in, how do you know?" ”
But in the face of Fang Chao's questioning, the old housekeeper didn't have the slightest intention of answering, and still walked forward to leave, Fang Chao saw this and rushed up with an arrow, stretched out his hand to grab the old man of the housekeeper, but unexpectedly, the old housekeeper who was obviously facing away from Fang Chao and looked frail and old actually took a step to the side like a long eye on the back of his head, and lightly avoided the hand stretched out by Fang Chao, and walked like the wind, and walked out seven or eight meters away in a few blinks of an eye.
Fang Chao retreated, and it seemed that he did not dare to continue to ask the old man of the housekeeper.
Tang Yao watched the old man of the housekeeper disappear into the corridor of the old mansion, and after waiting for a while, he said to Fang Chao: "You keep an eye here first, and I'll take a look around." ”
Walking along the empty corridor, Tang Yao gradually entered the interior of the old mansion, for the housekeeper who appeared inexplicably, he was full of questions, and he didn't even believe in the identity of this old man, and the old man mentioned the so-called "master" many times, it stands to reason that Boss Zhang is the only heir to the Zhang family's industry today, then he should be the current "master" of the Zhang family, but how can Boss Zhang live in this kind of place.
That is to say, is there another big man of the Zhang family here?
The more he thought about it, the more curious he felt, Tang Yao vaguely felt that this project was not as simple as it seemed.
Stepping on the old floor, he could hear the sound of "creaking" with every step, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, Tang Yao tried to press the switch on the wall, but found that there was no electricity.
Unexpectedly, the interior of the house is quite tidy, although the furnishings look very old, but it seems to be cleaned every day, Tang Yao wiped the tables and chairs in the hall, there is no dust on them.
There was no sound in all directions, Tang Yao's nerves were highly tense, as if any wind and grass would get into his ears, at this moment, someone behind him suddenly slapped him, Tang Yao was so frightened that he almost shouted, but he turned around suddenly and saw Sanyu looking at him with a smile.
He was on fire in his heart, and scolded in a suppressed voice: "You are insane, do you want to scare me to death?" ”
"What are you doing? Stealing from other people's things? Sanxiao didn't seem to feel guilty at all about scaring Tang Yao, and looked like a child with a curious face.
Tang Yao didn't want to pay attention to her, so he turned his head without saying a word and was about to continue walking, when he suddenly heard a series ......of "squeaks" from the corner in front of him, presumably someone was walking towards them.
Tang Yao immediately grabbed Sanyu's hand and quickly retreated, but he immediately made a sound under his feet, but fortunately, Tang Yao reacted very quickly, and immediately stopped his movements when he landed on his toes, so the sound of stepping on the floor was only half heard.
Most of the people who came out of the corner in front of him were the strange butler, and if the old man found out, the consequences would be hard to imagine, at least it would be impossible to continue exploring the secrets of the old mansion, but now he couldn't move, there would be a noise when he moved, and there was nowhere to hide here, it seemed that it was a matter of time before he was discovered.
"Oh, what should I do if I am discovered?" Sanyu stood behind Tang Yao and asked with a smile.
Tang Yao's brows were about to be twisted together, and at this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of several vases on the cabinet opposite the hall, and he immediately had a plan in his heart, and immediately felt something from his waist, which was the grappling hook that Fang Chao used during the interview, and this time it was temporarily lent to Tang Yao for use.
Tang Yao took the grappling hook, shook it gently, stared at the cabinet opposite, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, he took a deep breath, the grappling hook came out of his hand and accurately hit one of the vases on the cabinet, and then pulled it hard, and the vase fell from the cabinet.
There was a crisp sound, and the vase smashed on the ground, and sure enough, the voice of the old man of the housekeeper came from the corner, and he heard this guy scolding: "Who?" ”
Then the pace quickened, and a few seconds later they rushed into the hall, but at first glance the hall was empty.
Tang Yao and Sanyu, who were still standing in the hall a few seconds ago, have disappeared like a trick at this moment, and at this time these two people are hiding behind the sofa in the hall, and the European-style leather sofa is noble and atmospheric, just completely covering the bodies of the two people.
Just now, while Tang Yao smashed the vase, with the help of the sound of the vase breaking, he pulled Sanyu and quickly hid behind the sofa, so he cleverly avoided the inspection of the old housekeeper.
The hall was almost dark, the outside was covered with dark clouds, the heavens and the earth seemed to be about to suffer a catastrophe, and there was no electricity in the old mansion, so the two hiding behind the sofa should be safe for the time being.
San Yao squatted behind Tang Yao, supporting his chin with his hands, but his eyes were staring at Tang Yao's back, and then slowly leaned over and smelled Tang Yao's body, Tang Yao felt hot behind him, and when he turned his head and saw San Yao approaching, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, he was still young after all, and San Yao was a big beauty, the two of them were in such close contact at the moment, it was inevitable that Tang Yao's heart beat faster, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"What are you doing?" Tang Yao asked softly.
Sanyu smiled and continued to sniff, Tang Yao's neck was itching with a snort, and then said, "You smell so good, there is a special smell." ”
"Huh? But I haven't worn perfume or anything like that, don't you stop and don't you see that the old man still has a flashlight in his hand? Tang Yao said impatiently, and San Yao immediately covered her mouth with her hands, but there was still a smile between her eyebrows.
Tang Yao really didn't understand this woman, the identity was mysterious and the origin was unknown, not to mention it, even if the beauties he had seen in the past couldn't catch up with the level of Sanyu, they were all arrogant and arrogant.
The so-called beauties in society, many of them wear heavy makeup all day long, and then carry brand-name bags that don't know which spare tire to send, eat hundreds of high-end restaurants per capita, and even if they call a special car, they have to be luxurious.
"Huh? How did the vase fall, is there a mouse? The old man took a flashlight to check the vase that had fallen on the ground, and seemed to think that it was a mouse, and at the same time, Tang Yao also saw that the old man seemed to be carrying a lunch box in his other hand.
"No, how could there be rats in the house, or is there something else?" The old man seemed suspicious, and his voice gradually became gloomy, and he stood up and began to search the hall with a flashlight.
Tang Yao hurriedly shrank his head, the light of the flashlight had not yet shone near the sofa for the time being, but the old man was slowly searching every corner of the hall, and it seemed that it would be a matter of time before he found Tang Yao like this.
At this time, Tang Yao's brain was running rapidly, if he pulled Sanyu out of the back of the sofa now, he would inevitably make a sound, this old man didn't seem to be simple, I was afraid that he and Sanyao would be found immediately, but if he didn't transfer at the moment, he was afraid that there would be no chance.
The light of the flashlight was getting closer and closer, and at this time, Sanyu said to Tang Yao with a grin: "Rookie, I can help you, but you have to beg me." ”
