"Are you Mr. Yang's descendant and Mr. Yang's granddaughter?" Zhou Bo asked suddenly.

Yang Yinglin didn't expect that Uncle Zhou also knew his grandfather this time.

"Yes." This week, Bo showed a reverent expression on his face: "That's a good person."

"Let's find a private place to talk carefully, my courtyard is over there, this time I'll come alone, there are a lot of empty houses, these days, Yinglin wants to live on my side."

"I don't seem to be that close to you, so you might as well call me Miss Yang."

"Don't, Yinglin, we can be regarded as having been taking pictures a lot lately, the so-called first life, second familiarity, we are old acquaintances."

"Who knows what you're up to." Ji Ran looked at Xing Zhao with some disgust and said.

"Don't worry, it's not the same idea as you, Ji Gongzi, besides, I'm more reliable than you." Xing Zhao wasn't very angry, just looked at Yang Yinglin with a smile on his face, "Looking at you with a tired face, don't be exhausted, come and rest with me." ”

"The young master has been arranged, Miss Yang lives over there, I'll take them over to rest, don't bother Young Master Xing, Miss Yang, let's go." Zhou Bo interrupted Xing Zhao's invitation.

"Why do you live there, Yinglin, it's even more inconvenient for you to live in that building." Xing Zhao said reluctantly.

"It was arranged by the young master." Zhou Bo said.

"Zhou Xuran is in trouble." Xing Zhao said complainingly.

"Uncle Zhou, please lead the way." Yang Yinglin hurriedly followed behind Zhou Bo, at the moment he just wanted to get rid of Xing Zhao, he could avoid it, this guy had this relationship with Zhou Xuran, and he secretly checked himself, it was not at all what he was before, and it was not ruled out that the previous look was also disguised, today he repeatedly looked at his expression like a businessman's mercenary calculation, Yang Yinglin felt that he should stay away from him in the future.

"I have time to look for you, if there is anything inconvenient, and where you still need me, you can find me at any time, or I will be at your service at any time." Xing Zhao looked at their backs and said, fortunately, he didn't catch up.

"We'll stay away from him in the future."

"It's rare that you finally understand, I didn't like you to get too close to him before."

"Ji Ran, don't worry, I'll watch him take a detour in the future."

"Young Master Xing, in fact, people are not bad, but their minds are sometimes unpredictable." Zhou Bo suddenly burst out and seemed to defend Xing Zhao again.

Zhou Bo took Yang Yinglin and Ji Ran to the depths along the scattered courtyard, and they came to a small building with a quiet environment.

"Let's rest here for the next few days, and I'll take you to your respective rooms." Yang Yinglin looked around curiously while following Uncle Zhou, the house was a few years old.

Uncle Zhou led them through the corridor of the hall to the second floor, there were several rooms along the long corridor, but Uncle Zhou kept leading them to the corner one: "Miss Yang, this is your room."

Yang Yinglin stood at the door and wandered a little, she didn't like the room arranged by Uncle Zhou for herself, the westernmost and most corner room on the second floor, even if Yang Yinglin, who was not too taboo about anything, really felt uncomfortable with this arrangement, the long corridor here, so many empty rooms, she was a guest and was arranged in the tail room, she was not very satisfied.

Uncle Zhou didn't pay much attention to Yang Yinglin, who was standing outside the door, and said to Ji Ran: "Your room is arranged on the third floor, I'll take you up." ”

Yang Yinglin thought about it and was still a little breathless: "Uncle Zhou, is there any other room, and I want to be closer to Ji Ran, if there is something, we can take care of each other." ”

"It's all arranged for you." Zhou Bo's answer was very brief, and he refused in action.

"But you see there are so many of them, I wonder if we can live there, this is the most corner of the tail room."

"Those rooms are used for other purposes, Miss Yang arranged this room for you very well, I think it suits you very well, you will like it." Yang Yinglin still wanted to argue, seeing Ji Ran signaling herself with a look, she understood that if she sent someone under the fence, she would not be qualified to be picky, so she could only shake her head lightly, and sighed secretly, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, this is the Zhou family, how can they still have the energy to take care of them when they are busy with those things, and they can't offend the Zhou Uncle in front of them, in case there is something to say, maybe Zhou Bo is the only person who can help them here, now this Zhou Bo is obviously very persistent, she can only puff her mouth, and reluctantly said: "Okay then, Thank you, Uncle Zhou. ”

Uncle Zhou took Ji Ran and prepared to go upstairs: "Yinglin, do you want to go up with us and take a look at my room." ”

Yang Yinglin lost interest and opened the door: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to go up, you know where I live, settle down and find me in a while." ”

Walking into the room, antique, Yang Yinglin stood at the door and looked around, this room should have been renovated, there is a mix of traditional Chinese furniture and Western furniture, the carved pattern of the mahogany bed hollow out, but the full princess style bed curtain is a typical combination of Chinese and Western products, there are ancient clocks and oil paintings hanging on the wall, Yang Yinglin as a person who does not know much about art, the style is not very appreciated.

There is a separate bathroom inside, the decoration is very modern, of course, the most eye-catching is the big dresser opposite the door, finely carved, very old characteristics, very conspicuous is inlaid with a heavy copper mirror, next to the delicate jewelry box and rouge gouache box, as well as horn comb.

What kind of routine is the layout of this room, ordinary people can't stand it. Yang Yinglin felt that no one had lived in it for a long time, although it was very clean and spotless, but there was no life. This is the tail room on the second floor, in the corner, it is not sunny all year round on the shady side, but it is still with heavy curtains, which is extraordinarily dark and heavy, maybe it will feel better if there is light and breathability, and it will not feel heavy and press people through the feeling as soon as you enter the door.

She approached the bed, pulled back the heavy curtains, opened the window, and felt much better when there was light. She stood by the window, it was rare to have an excellent perspective here, she looked around, the east side was very bright, it should be the garden, she heard the sound of people coming and going, it was the second young lady just now who was supporting the frail and sickly young man called Wenxuan, Yang Yinglin couldn't help but look at it more, this young man who should have been the age of the flower season, so sick and weak, it was a pity, when they passed by her downstairs, the young master Wenxuan suddenly looked up at him, and the corner of his mouth flashed with an inexplicable sneer. Yang Yinglin's heart trembled, and when she rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, Young Master Wenxuan was obviously wearing sunglasses and a mask and hanging his head listlessly, and the casual scene just now was more like his own illusion. Perhaps she was too tired, she sat at the dresser, looked at her somewhat tired face in the mirror and was in a daze for a moment, feeling that all this in front of her was a little unreal.

"What do you think, just sit still." Ji Ran walked in at some point, breaking the peace at the moment.

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt like my mind was empty. Ji Ran, do you feel that there is anything wrong with this room, I can't always say, it just doesn't feel good"

"This strange decoration of Chinese and Western styles, what kind of taste does the family have this week, it is really a messy match, and whoever comes in will not feel too good. But fortunately, it's clean inside, and it's okay to make do. ”

"Well, maybe I'm overthinking it."

"You have an empty stomach, so your brain is empty. Uncle Zhou said that at this time, there is a bonfire dinner in the garden over there, and we can have something to eat over there and join in the fun. ”

"I'm not going, I'm very tired, I just want to take a good rest, you go, remember to come back and get me something to eat."

Sending Ji Ran away, Yang Yinglin fell on the bed, thinking about nothing, just wanting to sleep well.

Yang Yinglin collapsed on this mahogany bed weakly, the bed was very soft, but she felt very uncomfortable, as if something was pressing on her body by gravity, and she couldn't move.

Her body was very heavy, she simply closed her eyes, I don't know how long it was, she felt that she was in a dark, no edge, no light, no end, what was even more terrifying was that she was floating in the depths of this darkness, she desperately wanted to struggle, but she couldn't move, she was suppressed to death, she remembered the legendary ghost press bed, she was so tired that she wanted to give up when her body was a little numb, she heard a voice calling her name softly, she couldn't make a sound, desperately wanted to open her eyes, At this time, a beam of light flickered through the darkness, she opened her eyes in a trance, she seemed to be walking through the tunnel of time, the light gradually became clear, she gradually woke up, the mirror by the door reflected the evening afterglow, she woke up completely, she was lying on this big bed in a cold sweat, she glanced at the ancient clock on the wall, only an hour had passed, she didn't remember when she fell asleep, she had never had such a strange boundless dream, the knock outside the door became more and more urgent, She tidied herself up a little lazily, and then saw Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran waiting for her at the door.

"I thought you weren't in the room, knocked on the door for a long time and there was no sound or response?"

"I just fell asleep and didn't hear much," Yang Yinglin said in a hoarse voice.

"Why do you sleep so haggard?" Ji Ran and Zhou Xuran both obviously noticed that Yang Yinglin's face was not very good.

Yang Yinglin didn't know how to tell the terrible nightmare just now for a while, and when she saw Ji Ran holding a cake and snacks in her hands, she was a little hungry: "Come in." ”

Ji Ran teased her: "Your sleep quality is amazing, we almost kicked in the door just now, this Zhou's manor is very lively today, and it is also spectacular inside, going out for a walk, it's better than staying in the room lazily all the time, don't do anything here, don't go downstairs." ”

"Knowing Ji Gongzi, tomorrow we will go out and enjoy the scenery, this cake and snacks are brought to me, I am still hungry, eat some cushions first."

"I know you're hungry, and you haven't eaten well after a day's journey today, so I didn't appreciate the beauty of the bonfire party and came to you with food."

Yang Yinglin gulped down the pastries brought by Ji Ran: "You are the best for me, give you a thumbs up." ”

"Your compliment is really perfunctory." Ji Ran said jokingly.

"Zhou Xuran, why are you here, don't you have a lot of relatives and friends and some things to be dealt with over there Jiang Yiyi, this is over?"

"I'm just worried about you, I saw Ji Ran wandering around just now, but I haven't seen you, I don't know how Uncle Zhou arranged, and you are not used to living habits."

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Yang Yinglin said unceremoniously: "I'm not used to it, I don't like this room, you look at this combination of Chinese and Western decoration, it's incredible, I haven't said anything about this taste, and I always think this room is very weird, can I change it?" ”

"Uh." Zhou Xuran was stunned, but he didn't expect Yang Yinglin to say such a topic: "The decoration of this room is quite weird, but you can rest assured that there is nothing weird, it's just that no one has lived in it for many years, I grew up here, and I have never seen anything strange in this room." I originally thought that Uncle Zhou would arrange for you to live in the guest area, but I didn't expect to arrange for you to live here, in fact, this is more private, this has always been the area he is personally responsible for, quiet and avoidable, and it is more convenient for me to take care of you. ”

Yang Yinglin didn't understand why Zhou Xuran and Zhou Bo ignored their own ideas and insisted on arranging for themselves to live in this room, and they always took the trouble to ask her if she was satisfied, and she didn't bother to say more, anyway, it was just two nights. She ate a lot of cakes, she felt tired, but her stomach was still hungry, she ran all day, she always felt short of oil and water, at this moment she suddenly missed the taste of meat, and needed to replenish fat and protein to recover her strength.

Ji Ran saw her put down her fork: "What, the cake is not delicious?" ”

"It's delicious, it's just that if you don't have some hard dishes, I feel like I can't eat enough."

Zhou Xuran smiled after hearing this: "It's my negligence that I'm busy, I think you will like to have a good time, the food prepared for the bonfire dinner is very rich, if you don't want to go, I will open a small stove for you, arrange someone to cook it for you, and eat whatever you want." Zhou Xuran said dotingly.

"Just have some meat."

"Here comes the meat." As soon as Yang Yinglin finished speaking casually, she heard a voice at the door, but it was a little familiar.

"Don't be so fast." Yang Yinglin exclaimed, but at this moment Zhou Xuran frowned.

Yang Yinglin came to the door excitedly, and saw that it was Xing Zhao's guy who came over.

"It seems that I came at the right time, just came to the door, and heard that you want to eat meat, and I happened to be holding it, do you think we have a heart." Ji Ran's expression of diswelcome was ignored, Yang Yinglin still beckoned him in, since she knew that Xing Zhao was Zhou Xuran's cousin, they were a family after all, and she was just a guest who lived here temporarily, and she couldn't distinguish between primary and secondary, this Xing Zhao didn't know what delicious food she brought, the fragrance aroused Yang Yinglin's hunger, and she didn't resist the temptation of this delicacy.

"It seems that I still understand you, I know you better than they do, I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared a little more, there are Kobe roast beef, Australian steak, and Chinese stewed pork ribs, with red wine and pasta, take out the dumplings you like to eat, how to be complete enough, I can always pick out what satisfies you."

Yang Yinglin looked surprised, "Satisfied, even with my heart, I like to eat." ”

Ji Ran said with a look of contempt: "Just now someone still had the backbone to say, seeing the detour, he was spineless so soon." ”

"Hehehe, this is not one time or another. These are delicious, they taste great, and those before were jokes that didn't count. ”

Zhou Xuran's expression was no better than Ji Ran's, and he asked Xing Zhao instead: "How did you find it?" ”

Xing Zhao said with a wicked smile: "With what I know about you, the building near the water will get the moon first, just try your luck, but I didn't expect it to really make me guess." You have to be careful of Miss Jiang's family, you can't let her misunderstand you Jinwu Zangjiao. It's just that I didn't expect Uncle Zhou to take the initiative to arrange her next door to you, and I saw that everyone took good care of Miss Yang. ”

"What's next door?" Yang Yinglin took a bite of Kobe barbecue, which melted in her mouth and was extremely tender, and she didn't forget to ask while admiring.

"It's Zhou Xuran who lives next door to you, don't you know?" Yang Yinglin almost squirted out a mouthful of ribs.

"Hidden deep enough." After Xing Zhao finished speaking, he began to look at the room: "This is the territory that Uncle Zhou is personally responsible for, a place guarded by such a principled person, prohibiting all people who may disturb your peace, even if it is your own family, today these two people living in your single-family house are exceptional, I have been to this place so many times but have never entered this room, because I have always felt that the end room in the corner is unlucky, and the decoration steps of this room are so tasteful, it is really difficult to describe." ”

Yang Yinglin thought to herself, the layout of this room is really criticized, and everyone who has seen it dislikes it.

Xing Zhao walked around the room as if he had discovered a new realm, then walked up to Yang Yinglin, and said with a serious face: "Do you feel that the aura of this room is strange, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Yang Yinglin put down the pasta in her hand and said approvingly: "I think so, they still don't believe it." ”

Xing Zhao suddenly changed his words: "Do you want to consider living next door to me, I also have a small courtyard with a single house, the environment is good, the sun is up, and it is lively, which is much more fun than here." ”

"Xing Zhao, don't mess around, even if she agrees, I don't agree either." Zhou Xuran interrupted decisively.

"Yinglin has the right to choose where she likes to live, how can you make decisions for her, it's very arbitrary and undemocratic." Yang Yinglin nodded approvingly after hearing this, and saw Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran with a look of intent to kill her, and decisively bowed her head to eat noodles in silence.

Xing Zhao frowned: "I'm not kidding you, this room is really weird, my intuition tells me that something is wrong." ”

Xing Zhao rarely explained to Yang Yinglin solemnly: "I said that I have been weak since I was a child, so I have strong perception in some aspects, as soon as I came in, I felt that it was very depressing here, something was invisibly suppressed, and the pores that I walked to the mirror just now were unconsciously erected, and I broke out in a cold sweat, I don't know why I felt that there was something in the mirror staring at me." ”

After Xing Zhao finished speaking, the three of them looked at the mirror in unison, and found nothing abnormal, but it seemed that the mirror was some years old.
