Chapter Fifty-Eight: There Are Ghosts in People's Hearts
The heavy rain made the visibility only a few meters, and even the flowers and trees in the garden under the window became a blur. The Ye family's mansion is like an island in the angry sea, surrounded by loneliness and despair.
Lin Xiaofan even felt that she had lived for twenty-four years since she was a child, and she had never seen such heavy rain. It's almost ...... Tyranny, like God wants to destroy something and punish something. The raindrops were swept by the wind, and flung against the window, crackling, and it seemed as if something was beating desperately, trying to break in.
Inadvertently, she saw a butterfly dying and hiding by the window frame, gritting her teeth to open the window.
No matter how humble she is, it is a life, and she really can't bear to see death without saving it.
But the butterfly flew in, and the rain slammed her face, so that she had to go to the bathroom again, wash her face and hair, and change her clothes.
After all the tossing, Judy called.
"The Ye family eats dinner at five o'clock every day." Judy told her that she actually laughed, "Real thunder can't move." ”
"Old man, it's not digestible." Lin Xiaofan is empathetic.
The Ye family's dinner time was a little early, but it was the same when my grandmother was sick in bed. After eating, she and her mother also help gently rub their stomachs to help their stomachs move.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little compassion for Old Man Ye, whom she had never met. When my grandmother was alive, she often said that there is nothing wrong with illness, nothing else and no money. In her opinion, being sick is more pitiful than having no money. But Ye Zhaojun doesn't seem to have a good relationship with his father, should she do her filial piety on his behalf?
"The restaurant is on the ground floor, a bit far away." Judy continued, her voice full of apologies, "Originally, I said to pick you up, but this kind of weather is even more unpleasant for Mr. Ye. He's not very good at heart, can you come over by yourself? ”
"Okay." Lin Xiaofan was a little stunned, but he had to agree.
Could it be that for a young man like her, to let a person who has been in a hospital bed for a long time risk a heart attack without a personal nurse by his side?
This kind of thing can't be done by normal people.
"I'll tell you Lin again, lest you make a mistake." Judy thoughtfully instructed. "Get out of your room and go to the left. After finding the stairs, go downstairs, we walked before, you should have an impression. When you get to the first floor, you turn right. Look at a hallway and turn left, and you'll see double-open, black-purple walnut doors with light gold carved roses. Behind that, there's the restaurant. Me and Mr. Ye. Waiting for you right there. ”
Lin Xiaofan followed the memory very seriously, and when Judy confirmed. Please, the other party said it again.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at her watch, and it was almost 4:55. She understood that it was rude to let the elders wait, so she hurriedly tidied up her appearance and clothes. I mustered up the courage to open the door of my room and walked out, forgetting to bring my phone.
in the hallway. Still empty, there was no one else but her.
Window. The storm was raging, and it kept banging on the windows. Fortunately, because of the lights everywhere, even if the huge Ye Mansion seemed deep and silent, and even the sound of the door closing echoed, it was not particularly terrifying.
"Be generous, be calm, don't embarrass Ah Jun." Lin Xiaofan said softly to himself, and then recited what Judy said about Lin Jing, and moved his steps.
All parts of the mansion are covered with thick carpets of pure wool, and people walk on them silently. But it is this silence that also puts pressure on people's psyche, especially those who are very unfamiliar and a little timid in this place.
Lin Xiaofan kept looking back as she walked, as if she was afraid that something terrible would quietly follow her and choke her neck behind her back.
However, no.
She had no way of knowing that when she went downstairs, one pair of feet quietly walked to Ye Zhaojun's bedroom, and the other pair sneakily walked to the control room behind the house.
There are ghosts in people's hearts, and nothing can stop them.
She only said that she walked to the first floor safely, then turned right, saw the corridor and turned left.
No wonder it's called the Ye family's mansion, it's really too big to be imagined by a poor person like her. She felt like she was walking in a labyrinth, and it was a maze of luxuriously decorated hotels. But what's the matter, she seems to have been walking for a long time, why haven't she seen any dark purple walnut double doors?
Be...... Gone wrong?
Lin Xiaofan suddenly panicked, because she was already a bit of a forest idiot. still remembers the first time I met Ye Zhaojun alone, or she was lost in the Ye headquarters building.
"This way...... This way...... That's right. She stood still, trying to remember, and looked around in confusion.
Hey, what's that?
By the wall, in the shadow of the pouring rain and the heavy and ornate curtains, lay something, a large, dark thing. It felt like it didn't fit in with the whole room.
Lin Xiaofan subconsciously knew that she shouldn't see it, but she acted slightly faster than her brain. So she took a few steps in that direction, and finally saw it.
A coffin!
It was pitch black, with a big depiction of gold and longevity written on the front, and it was tightly closed, as if it was trapped by the undead.
This scene was caught off guard.
Lin Xiaofan was startled, took several steps backwards, and almost fell to the ground. If it weren't for the tight cover of her mouth, and the sound of thunder happening, the hall would be filled with her screams.
Who will put a coffin in the house! But the question is, is it really empty?
Looking around, there is actually an empty table, like an offering table, and there are two humanoid objects next to it. On closer inspection, it is obviously a South American or non-regional handicraft, but under the gray-cyan light of lightning, it looks as evil as a ghost. Under the light and shadow, it seems that it can still move!
It's not a mourning hall, is it? obviously thought it was impossible, but Lin Xiaofan couldn't help but think nonsense. At the same time, she turned abruptly, instinctively wanting to get out of the place as soon as possible.
But thunder and lightning will usher in more than ten seconds after the lightning, and this thunder is obviously super powerful, and after a series of loud bangs, the entire mansion is plunged into darkness.
The power is out.
Lin Xiaofan stopped as if he was frozen. The sudden darkness after the light caused her to fall into a half-blind state. She didn't dare to walk around at will, but she tried to turn around and look at the coffin!
People are like that, they know they shouldn't, but they do it.
She wondered if there would be a withered ghost claw sticking out of the coffin, and then a bloody skull would let out an eerie laugh at her.
At that moment, all the ghost stories that Luo Chunli told to scare her when she was a child poured into her mind.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...... There was a dead silence.
But the next moment, two glowing green lights suddenly appeared in mid-air, glaring at Lin Xiaofan!
