This girl, if she is really a subordinate, then it is a little too unruly. This is a suspicious point, but all large families are undoubtedly well-behaved, and they will not let the servants in the family talk like this.

Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be the face of this big family that will be lost.

This second place is such a big house, there is no cook!

Or rather, the cook.

The girl said she couldn't cook, so the old woman told her to buy it outside. This undoubtedly means that there is no second person in this house except for this girl.

But in such a big house, there is only one subordinate, is this normal?

A family like this, to say the least, should have more than a dozen servants to summon, even if one is enough, then why do you have to bring a few guards, right?

It's not a peaceful time right now!

The combination of these two doubts made Tan Mo wonder if he had broken into a place where something that was not a human being.

After all, the girl's description of him was like saying something delicious.

And the old woman's words just now also made Tan Mo can't help but think more, because he still has half a dry steamed bun left on his body, but how does this old woman know?

He thought it was probably a good thing to smell it.

Tan Mo suddenly had the idea of leaving, so he made a wooden face, folded his hands, and said, "Don't dare to trouble the donor so much, steamed buns and clear water are also very good." The little monk was thirsty and didn't bring any water with him, but he just came to ask for a sip of water to drink. Little monk thanks the donor for his kindness! ”

"How's that going to work? The visitor is a guest, Heng'er, don't you say? The old woman shook her head, and patted the little boy beside her on the head.

The little boy was slapped a few times by the old woman, and was a little unhappy, so he looked at the old woman with bared teeth and made strange noises in his mouth.

So the old woman slapped her.

The little boy squatted on the ground and did not move. It's just that with squinting eyes, it seems that he is quietly looking at Tan Mo.

Tan Mo wanted to say something when he saw this, but he saw that the girl had already run out.

I just went out, and I was gone.

This made Tan Mo unable to say what he said, and at this time, the old woman had already come over and grabbed him, and said while pulling him: "Come on, come on, the little monk will come in with the old man, this sun is too poisonous, and if you get sunburned for a long time, you will get heat stroke." ”

Tan Mo was helpless, if he escaped at this time, I am afraid it would not be good, and besides, this old woman's strength was not small, and he couldn't break free, so he had to follow in.

When I entered the house, I found that the house here is a little splendid, and the lighting is also very good, from front to back, it is very bright. There is no eerie atmosphere that Tan Mo thinks.

Tan Mo clasped his hands together, but he didn't let down his guard.

The old woman sat down and asked, "Little monk, where did you come from?" But from the ruined temple? ”

"The little monk is from the Lotus Temple in Ningjia County, and this time he came with the senior brothers." Tan Mo replied truthfully, he wanted to try whether his senior brother's name worked.

When the old woman heard the three words of Lotus Temple, her face changed slightly, but then she let out a laugh, but she didn't know whether to sneer or think it was funny, and after laughing for a while, the old woman stopped, and then looked at Tan Mo, and said in a slow tone: "Lotus Temple, it turned out to be Lotus Temple!" ”

"Does the donor know the abbot?" Tan Mo asked tentatively, the old woman's tone and demeanor were obviously a little abnormal.

"I don't know, but I've heard of your senior brother's name, the White Bone Arhat Lotus Monk, but the name Zhenkun Lingfu, the head of the top ten and six royal masters." The old woman shook her head.

It was also at this time that Tan Mo learned that his senior brother had the title of White Bone Arhat in addition to the Dharma name of Lotus Monk.

"Little monk, do you think there's something missing in this mansion?" Suddenly, the old woman asked. When he asked this, he looked at Tan Mo with his eyes.

At this moment, Tan Mo felt a chill.

It's like being in the middle of the night, and suddenly being targeted by some night creature.

He had a wooden face, as if he was calm, but he was a little anxious inside, but he tried to keep his tone steady and said, "Popularity." ”

"Popularity?" The old woman's face changed slightly.

"It's popularity." Tan Mo nodded.

"Let's talk about it carefully." The old woman laughed, her hand was inadvertently lowered, and under her sleeve, five slender nails as black as ink suddenly poked out, like knife blades.

Tan Mo's face was expressionless, and he said slowly: "Such a big house, there are no more than a dozen to call, it can't be called, and it is not a peaceful and prosperous era at the moment, the more big the family, the more guards there are at home." The little monk once heard from his senior brother that there were more than 100 guards in the mayor's house in the town below the mountain, and they had become private soldiers. ”

"Besides, there's something wrong with a house in the neighborhood. How dare a rich family live in this vicinity? It's because it's an ancestral house, you can't give it up, and you have to have some precautions. ”

"So you can see the little monk?" The old woman grinned.

Her mouth is not small, it is very large when it is opened, and it seems to be able to swallow a person's head in one gulp, which is a little scary.

Tan Mo doesn't speak.

So far, he can only gamble.

I hope that his brother's name can cover him.

The little boy who had not moved all this time suddenly walked towards Tan Mo. I saw him bent over, his hands stretched forward, and a strange sound came out of his mouth.

Suddenly, the little boy pounced on Tan Mo.

Bang!

The black shadow flashed, and the little boy lay on the ground, his hands and feet trembling.

And the old woman, who had been sitting before, suddenly appeared beside the little boy, and one of her hands was pressing the little boy's head.

It was an unusually long hand, covered in scales.

At first glance, you can tell that it is not human.

"Stupid stuff that can't be raised." The old woman scolded, and then looked at Tan Mo, the expression on her face gradually became pleasant, "Thank you, little monk, your words have made the old body have been confused, and they have been explained." ”

"Don't dare to be." Tan Mo hurriedly said.

"There's nothing to thank you for, you go to the inner room and pick something to take away, this is what you deserve, and it's what the old body wants to give you." The old woman said, her eyes staring at Tan Mo again.

The feeling of shuddering in my heart resurfaced again.

Tan Mo nodded quickly, and then walked in. That chilling feeling gradually subsided.

Compared to the brightness outside, the room inside is a little gloomy. It was pitch black, with no light at all. Especially on the ground, there is still some water, and when you step on it, it's all sound.

Tan Mo couldn't see what was in this room at all, he only felt that there was a bad smell lingering, like a salted fish that had been marinated for many years and had been blistered and moldy.

Faintly, in the darkness he also saw a figure, posing in various poses, but motionless.
