Ye Mu, who had studied interior design, couldn't understand the whimsical design of this house at all, and it was the first time he saw someone put his bedroom in the main courtyard area, facing the door.

There are five rooms in the main area, and when you enter the old house from the gate, you can see the master bedroom facing the main door through a path paved with black stones.

The first two rooms are the second bedrooms on both sides of the master bedroom, and the room where Xiao Tian's body was found is on the left side of the master bedroom; The location of the shelter room is relatively hidden, and it is difficult to find it without careful exploration.

"I thought that more things were better than less, so I didn't go into this house to check, but now that I have decided to check out, there is no need to be taboo."

With that, Ye Mu pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed the rusty red lock in front of the door with a single sword.

Cautiously pushing open the door, everyone was stunned by what was inside.

The space behind the door was not a master bedroom as Ye Mu expected, but a vestibule.

"It's not a bedroom, it's a hall."

The main area is located directly opposite the main door is the vestibule of the home, which is understandable, but once you add the two bedrooms on the left and right, it is very puzzling.

In the middle of the antechamber was a throne intricately carved with gold trim, but the throne was empty and there was no one in sight.

There were four chairs on each side of the vestibule, on which sat eight shriveled and ugly corpses.

When Ye Mu's gaze swept to the pointed ears on the heads of several corpses, he couldn't help but look suspicious: "Vampires? ”

Although the eight corpses were decayed, the ornate clothing on their bodies still showed the extraordinary status of their status, and the eight dead vampires were all male, dressed in brocade clothes similar to those worn by the nobles of Haidry City.

Vampires have always been associated with terrifying high technology in Ye Mu's impression, but he didn't expect them to appear in this ancient mansion in clothes that don't match their own image.

Liu You'er walked up to a corpse, observed it carefully for a moment, and then said, "These people are not in pain when they die. ”

Dai Qing frowned and muttered, "It looks too abnormal, how could these people sit directly on a chair and suddenly die, Ye Mu, do you have any other discoveries?"

"Wait, I'll take a look."

Ye Mu licked his lips, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth around.

Eight chairs and one throne, on the left side of each chair is a small coffee table, on the coffee table is a small ceramic cup, the tea in the cup has long been dried up, only the dry and blackened tea leaves remain.

The dragon carvings on both sides of the front hall are all rare and exotic beasts that Ye Mu has never seen, and a few wisps of white silk hang down on the beams, and I don't know if it is decorative or has another purpose.

There are no other clues.

After half a ring, Ye Mu shook his head, looked at Dai Qing and said: "Looking at the appearance of these corpses before they were alive, they should be discussing something, have you noticed that the eyes of four of them are looking at the door, plus the vacancy of the main seat, they should be waiting for someone." ”

"That's true!" After Ye Mu's reminder, Dai Qing seemed to have an understanding, she thought for a while, frowned again, and puzzled: "Since they are looking out of the door, which means that the door should not have been closed before they died, who locked the door... Who are they waiting for?"

Liu You'er reminded: "The one waiting should be the head of the family, and the throne in the middle of the front hall should only be qualified to sit by the head of the family." ”

Ye Mu turned to look at the lotus pond and asked, "Master, can you still see something?" ”

Monk Lianchi shook his head and said, "The little monk can't see any other doorways in this house, but the red lock that Brother Ye broke before, the little monk feels a little weird." ”

Ye Mu thought to himself, the clues in this room were really limited, so he walked to the gate, leaned over and picked up the red lock that had been cut in two on the ground and held it in his hand.

Ye Mu observed the two red locks in his hands, and muttered in surprise: "Let's just say that the feeling just now is not quite right, this iron lock is too light." ”

Qin Aowu looked left and right for a long time, but he didn't find any clues, he simply didn't bother, walked to Ye Mu's side and asked, "Do you see that something is wrong?" ”

"Not yet, I'll try to burn it with fire."

Ye Mu tilted his head, a fireball was born from his fingertips, and carefully scorched the iron lock in his hand, the rust on the surface of the iron lock gradually faded, the red paint was tumbling and bubbling under the high temperature, but the black iron wrapped in the red paint did not react.

After burning for a while, Ye Mu didn't see any doorway, but the hand holding the iron lock was burned and the flesh was opened.

Ye Mu blew the iron lock in his hand, wiped off the red paint that had been melted by himself, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed.

A fishy smell.

Ye Mu shook his head, converted the fireball on his fingertips into an ice element to cool down the iron lock, and after half a ring, he put the iron lock in his hand into his bag and looked at everyone: "Hmm... Except that this lock is relatively light, I can't see any other doorways at all, and that's all the information we can get now, so take this lock with you, and let's go to the other rooms to have a look. ”

Liu You'er led Liu Wen out of the room, looked at Ye Mu and said, "We can't find any other clues, so let's go to other places to take a look." ”

Just as everyone had left the door and was about to move to the next room, Ye Mu suddenly stopped.

"Wait!" Flying

"What's wrong?" Everyone was stunned.

"Is there anything good about those eight people? Have you searched for it? ”

Everyone looked at each other, all of them full of helplessness, Liu You'er smiled bitterly and said to Ye Mu: "Don't think about it, Qin Aowu and I have seen it, there is nothing on these people." ”

"So poor." Ye Mu pursed his lips and said, "Aren't these vampires all living on babies?" You see the white coat I gave Qingqing, it won't get dirty without washing. ”

"Baa~"

The six of them searched all the rooms in the main area, there were five rooms in the main area, except for the hall and the two bedrooms that had been passed first, the remaining two houses were all bedrooms, and they were all women's bedrooms.

The bedrooms were all empty, but some of the women's clothes and household items could be found.

The clothes were neatly stacked on top of each other, exuding a pungent musty smell, and the daily necessities and some uneaten food were placed on the table haphazardly, which had long been rotten and smelly.

Nothing else.

Dai Qingliu frowned slightly, pinched her nose and asked, "How long has this place been deserted?" ”

Liu You'er shook her head and said: "I don't understand, sometimes it feels like this place has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and sometimes it looks like it has only been abandoned for a few years."

After everyone walked out of the last house, Ye Mu closed the door, turned his head and said: "Don't use conventional logic to speculate about this kind of unreasonable place, otherwise it will only become more and more confused, this place is really weird, let's go to the other four small areas to have a look." ”

Qin Aowu also knew that this ancient mansion was full of weirdness and danger, he held the blood spear in his hand and waited solemnly, looked at Ye Mu and asked, "Which area to go to first?" ”

"Choose the one closest to the gate of the ancient mansion, and it will be convenient to run away in case of danger."

Dai Qing gave Ye Mu a thumbs up and exclaimed, "It's worthy of you, you think about running away all the time." ”

Ye Mu glanced at Dai Qing and said resentfully: "It is you who say that I am too floating and have no sense of crisis, and it is you who say that I want to run away." ”

Dai Qing sighed lightly, with an expression that saw through the world, and her words were full of thousands of complex emotions: "Men are too fickle. ”

Ye Mu was speechless.

"Baa~" The little gray goat under his feet called and rubbed Ye Mu's shoes affectionately.

According to Ye Mu's words, everyone chose the nearest sub-area to explore the gate, and through the moon gate, they could see six wooden poles, on which were tied slender black ropes, and the ropes were hung with all kinds of clothes, the most of which were the clothes worn by women.

Qin Aowu looked left and right, and after a while, he spoke: "This should be a living area for washing, cooking, and drying clothes, right?"

Ye Mu glanced at Qin Aowu helplessly: "Yes, didn't I say it when we came here to see it before?" You wouldn't have heard it, would you?"

Qin Aowu pouted a little embarrassed and said, "You can see a bunch of doorways in front of a stone, how can I have the energy to write down everything you say." ”

"I agree with that." Dai Qing nodded sympathetically.

Qin Aowu glanced at Dai Qing and teased: "If you don't come, you two have the same smell, and you agree with anything, the ghost will believe you." ”

"Phew!"

"Alright, okay, don't make a fuss." Ye Mu was more or less accustomed to the ridicule of his partners, he tilted his head and looked at the clothes hanging in front of him thoughtfully: "I just glanced at it in a hurry before, and I didn't think about it, but now it seems..."

"What does it seem?" Qin Aowu couldn't stand being sold to him the most.

"This place is supposed to have a sun."

"Why? Even if it's not sunny, there's nothing wrong with hanging your clothes outside. ”

"If you look at the position of the windows of these houses, are they all facing the same direction?"

"Hmm."

"Just like the houses on the earth sit north and face south, the windows generally choose a place with better lighting, and the distribution of the windows can roughly infer the position of the 'sun' rising and setting, and combined with this, it is obvious that these drying racks are intentionally placed in a well-lit place."

Qin Aowu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help but give Ye Mu a thumbs up and praised, "I really don't know how your brain grows. ”

Ye Mu glanced at Qin Aowu and said speechlessly: "I really don't know if you are praising me or hurting me." ”

There is a stone well behind the hanger, and the hemp god hanging the wooden barrel in the well has rotted, Ye Mu stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and it was broken into two, and with a 'bang', the wooden barrel under the well fell into the water.

A golden ball of light slowly appeared in Ye Mu's right hand, and in this dim space lit by candlelight, the ball of light in his hand was particularly dazzling.

"Go."
