Chapter 298: Secret Two in the Bell Tower
The bridge is built very strongly, consisting of wooden frames, handrails and planks, and the two ends are firmly fixed under the eaves of the two tower houses, and there are wooden brackets below to connect the roof supports, so there is no need to worry about sudden collapse.
The internal room arrangement is also very peculiar, let's first talk about the tower on the side of the main house, from the ground floor door in, is a spiral upward staircase, the guest rooms are distributed on both sides of the stairs, not like the community housing after a flight of stairs there is a platform, and then the rooms are distributed on both sides of the platform.
No, there are no landings in the tower, and the rooms are randomly arranged on both sides of the staircase, with no pause in the middle of the spiral staircase, and the bottom edge of the door slopes along the staircase. But the inside of the room is of course flat. There were eleven rooms up to the top of one tower, twenty-two rooms in two towers, and exactly eighteen rooms were left after the servants' and stewards' rooms.
When I walked across the rooftop overpass, fortunately, the rest were some boys, and no one had a fear of heights, so everyone passed smoothly.
The brown tower on the side of the main house has a slightly different internal structure, except for the color and overall shape, which is actually similar to the blue tower here, and the staircase also goes down in a circle.
Because the exit of the brown tower is open on the roof, this time our room arrangement should be from top to bottom, and the first to third rooms are placed for middle-aged women and young couples who have not yet been able to move on their own! The boys helped them over when the three of them were drinking coffee just now.
Because Sister Wang said that the tower here is quieter, and the environmental conditions are a little better, suitable for them to recuperate, the next day can let the housekeeper come to show them, the housekeeper here has learned a little medical knowledge before, everyone has a small illness or pain or something basically do not go down the mountain, by the housekeeper to treat them.
After a long time, when Yun Yeyao was about to go back to his room to find another way, a woman's voice finally came from the room: "Who! ”
"I'm sorry, my name is Yun Yeyao, and I'm a guest who came to stay overnight today...... I have a cold, and there is no extra paper in the room, and it is too late to disturb the host's house, so I thought I could ask you to borrow some paper here. ”
"Oh, wait a minute!" The woman's voice inside became crisp, as if she had fully awakened.
Sure enough, after a while, there was the sound of slippers clattering in the room, and a pair of well-maintained hands like white jade opened the door, and with the appearance of the hand, the face of the owner of the room also appeared at the door.
In the afternoon, the time seems to be much more abundant, and everyone can work with determination. The proprietress also asked them if they slept early in the evening, but Xiao and the old housekeeper completely denied it, and said that all the servants except the master of the house would go to the recreation room to relax at night, and would not go to bed until the bell tower struck nine o'clock.
In this case, if the clock in the villa goes fast, it can be established in the morning, but not at night; If the clock in the villa slows down, it becomes a situation where it cannot be established in the morning and can be established in the evening. The proprietress felt like her brain was all confused.
However, the proprietress also asked: "Is the clock on the bell tower that everyone can go up to adjust?" (It should be noted here that everyone in the treacherous house relied on the big clock in the bell tower to determine the time, and there was no clock in the house, and the owner did not like the sound of the clock ticking.) )
This kind of appearance is the worst to wear in a suit, and Liu Hang himself knows this, so he often wears loose casual clothes.
After getting dressed, Liu Hang felt that his mouth was astringent, and there was a smell when he used his hands, which was because he usually had the habit of drinking and smoking, so he always had a little bad breath when he got up in the morning.
Forget it, no one else cares about it anyway except grandpa. Just wait a minute, go wash up early. ’
While thinking, Liu Hang looked around at the layout in the room. Here he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, so he could only roughly stand close to the big bed and take a look.
There was a wardrobe on the wall opposite the door, it was the old-fashioned, very dark wardrobe, Liu Hang saw it and immediately remembered the cupboard that his grandmother used to hold food when he was a child, it was also this color, but it was much cleaner.
The cracks in the door of this wardrobe here are covered with black dirt, and the surface is very peeling, and in some places it is even rough and rough, as if the wood has been worn.
In front of him was a petite black cat, the cat's demon-like pupils stared at Liu Hang for a while, and then quickly left the corridor and ran towards the overpass outside. At this time, Liu Hang heard the sound of snow removal on the overpass, probably because the people of this family got up.
Sister Wang told them yesterday that the people in this family would get up at half past five. Liu Hang, who was relaxed, hurriedly ran up for a while, and the upper part of the stairs was already illuminated by the sun, Liu Hang couldn't help frowning, and thought to himself: "Why is the sky so bright at half past five?" It's winter! ”
But he quickly let go of his doubts, is it normal for people to get up late once, why are they strange about this kind of thing! Really.
When I passed by, I swept the woman in the room out of the corner of my eye, and of course I was amazed.
Behind him, there was a woman's sweet laughter and talking, "Husband, this young man is so strange!" He seems to be afraid of you! ”
"I'm so scary, but you, I think it's scary......"
Ignoring the man's voice, Liu Hang only heard the word 'husband' in the woman's mouth, and a big picture of a beautiful woman and beast immediately appeared in his mind, which felt so vivid!
Further down was the room of the last two strange guests, Liu Hang stopped and thought: "I don't know each other anyway, I shouldn't be angry if I don't say hello!" ’
Just as he was hesitating, the voices of Sister Wang and the young girls from yesterday came from upstairs, among which the voices of Meng Qi'er and Xia Hongyan sounded particularly energetic.
Except for the students at the dance academy, everyone else seemed to be a little unaccustomed to eating together around a large table, especially the two old men.
On the dining table, there was a Western-style breakfast for one person, which was very varied, including eggs, milk, and toast bread with sliced ham, but Grandma Tang and Yaya didn't move.
After sitting for a few minutes, Grandma Tang finally couldn't help but walk into the kitchen, and everyone could hear her politely discussing breakfast with the cook in the kitchen, it seemed that both of them were allergic to milk, hoping to return the breakfast and go to the room to eat the snacks they brought with them.
Grandpa Liu and Liu Hang ate happily, and probably they didn't have any allergies or hated foods.
At this time, Grandpa Liu suddenly said, "Hey! Mr. Butler, I heard Xiao Wang say that you know a little bit of medical skills, do you want to go and see the three injured guests on the side of the brown tower, they have not moved yet, and I don't know what happened. We're almost done eating here, so we'll tell the cook about something. ”
"It's okay, Mr. Liu," the housekeeper is about ten years younger than Liuqiaopu, so he can't call Liuqiaopu Grandpa with everyone, the housekeeper said: "Don't worry, the three guests over there, I went to see them early in the morning, there is no danger to life, but they need to recuperate for a few days, I applied the wound medicine to them and fed them a little sedative painkiller medicine, and now they are probably sleeping soundly." ”
"Oh, that's reassuring, so are their injuries all caused by avalanches?"
At this time, it was close to ten o'clock in the morning, and the plates on the dining table had been cleaned up by the cook, and only the cook and Sister Wang did not follow, because they still had a lot of housework to do.
Mr. Butler was a little more relaxed, so he went to see with him, and if anything happened to this house, the master would be the first to trouble him.
The group walked through the blue tower to the skybridge above the rooftop. Walking in the front are Lian Fan, Butler, Liu Hang, Yun Yeyao, Yan Muheng and Meng Qi'er, Yan Muheng is followed by his wife Xiaomei, then Lu Haoyu and Qiao Keli, and then, Grandpa Liu, Yaya, Grandma Tang, Wen Manman, Xia Tomato, Yuan Sen and Tao Muqing follow in an orderly manner. A total of 16 people walked onto the overpass.
Crossing the flyover is the coldest part of the road, and everyone unconsciously spends up their pace, because at the moment most people are only wearing sweaters and trousers, and some girls are even wearing long skirts, and they are afraid that they will freeze if they slow down.
"What's wrong? Lian Fan. Yun Yeyao asked beside him.
"The door looks like someone locked it from the inside!"
Lian Fan's words made everyone fall into a strange atmosphere in an instant, and the housekeeper blurted out and asked, "How is this possible?!! Then he said as if he had thought of something, "Could it be that our little maid is cleaning up in it?" ”
The butler parted the people around him, walked to the door and knocked lightly a few times, and then shouted loudly inside; "Horror, are you in there?"
After waiting for a few seconds, no one in the room answered his question, so Mr. Butler shouted again, but there was still no answer.
The first to answer him was Yun Yeyao, "Not for the time being, there are no traces of other corpses in this room except for blood, and I don't think this blood is sure if it is human blood." Mr. Yan, do you think that if you are to be killed, you will spurt such a large amount of blood at once? ”
"It's difficult, if you stab yourself in the chest, it will bleed a lot, but it shouldn't be so bad if you completely soak the bed and floor, unless you disembowel...... "Yan Muheng said very seriously.
His wife, Xiaomei, took over her husband's words and said, "Even if you disembowel, there will not be such a large amount of blood, and such a amount of bleeding is like pouring out all the blood in the human body at once." You see, the bed is still pouring down, and the blood is already gathering in the lower floors. ”
"Yes, this room is completely enclosed, there are no secret rooms or secret passages or anything like that, if someone is really killed, there are only two reasons why the body cannot be found: the first murderer transferred the body, but do you think this is possible?
What a cruel and cruel thing! I couldn't think of any other words in my head other than these two words, and the blank space occupied my mind more and more, and even the memories of the past began to blur a little.
From that day on, my father no longer communicated with me, but lived as if he were alone every day, and the maid of the house was very close to him, and every time I secretly looked at them, my father would severely reprimand me and let me go back to my room.
I feel that love is gradually draining, and if the last bit of warmth is gone, how can I live!
A man in his twenties, like a teenage girl, is locked up in his home like a caged bird...... It was only from those books that I could feel a hint of solace.
Many of the books were left by my mother, who was also a teacher, and a good teacher who was much more patient than my father, and sometimes I thought that in the next life I must no longer be reincarnated as a mother's daughter, but as her student, because the student spends much more time with her than I do.
As soon as Wen Manman's words fell, the fat butler immediately picked up: "Probably our hostess doesn't want to meet strangers, she hasn't seen anyone other than us for almost five or six years. Especially in the last two or three years, even we rarely see the hostess. ”
"What? Is the owner of this place a girl? Yao Muqing asked, she had always thought that the owner of the treacherous house should be a man, and her classmates probably thought the same, because the same question could be seen from the expressions of Meng Qi'er and Qin Sen.
Lian Fan didn't have the heart to think about this now, he had been worrying about the luggage and wallet in his room, and of course, some personal necessities, but he was too embarrassed to ask the four people who had just come out of the room, that would make people feel that they didn't trust them, so he had to worry silently alone.
When the footsteps were close enough distance that his eyes could sweep over most of the room, Yun Yeyao realized that this was actually a small room of less than ten square meters.
The long and narrow space has a single bed and a full range of daily necessities, including a bathroom and an induction cooker.
"Is the mistress of your house cooking alone in the room?" Yun Yeyao suddenly asked, this was indeed the question he was thinking about at the moment.
But this question made the housekeeper in front of him stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, but she is very afraid of seeing strangers, so the induction cooker is in case of emergency, in case the cook is sick and cannot cook, the hostess will let the little maid make some simple meals in the room." ”
"So what are you going to do?"
"Let's go eat at the restaurant outside."
