The three of us worked for more than an hour, and finally found footprints on a hidden and very ingenious path on the far right, and walked along the road until we saw us.

There are also Xu Lu's footprints in front of the door, looking at this footprint to infer her posture, it seems that she wants to enter the yard.

I looked up slowly, and the two courtyard doors in front of me were also hidden, and the spider silk in the middle was all broken, and there were spiders on top of it trying to weave new webs.

"Looks like she's supposed to be in." I pushed the door open hard, only to feel a crisp fresh air rushing towards me.

"Wow!" Shen Xue behind her shouted in surprise, only to see that the scenery in the courtyard in front of her was completely different from the outside.

In this garden, the peonies and peonies on the flower stand are blooming vigorously.

The flowers of all colors attract countless butterflies and bees to flutter, which makes people dazzled, and the nearby furnishings are also in order, quietly staying where they should be, the road on the ground is the road, the soil is the soil, the road is clear, and there is no trace of weeds.

And in the middle of the courtyard, like the front house, there is a brazen bronze lion, it looks up proudly, there are two osmanthus trees planted next to it, and at this time there are countless pale white flowers blooming on the top, which is exuding a strong and greasy fragrance.

My whole body froze in surprise, and it took a long time to react, and I rushed forward, I kept looking at the flowers that were in full bloom, holding my head and groaning: "Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

Shen Xue and the others also walked in, she gently poked my back with her fingers, and asked curiously, "What is impossible?" ”

I immediately shouted in a rude tone as if I wanted to fight with someone: "As long as anyone with a little common sense knows, the flowering period of peonies is about April to May, and peonies are generally a month later than peonies, and the flowering period of the two of them happens to meet together, I can understand, but these two osmanthus trees ......"

I tore a leaf from the tree with my hand and exclaimed, "Look! This is silver cinnamon, its flowering period is in September, and it is famous for only delaying and not advancing, how can these three things bloom together, it's really weird! ”

Shen Ke kicked the bronze lion beside him nonchalantly.

"No matter how much he has, maybe this is a new breed cultivated by the previous Shen family's geeks, idle and boring. The most important thing now is to find Xiaolu! ”

"Do you know how valuable this is? Good silver cinnamon is not high in production, you smell this floral fragrance, thick and elegant, and noble with some bleak melancholy, this is the best!

"And, my God, even in my madman's laboratory, I have never seen a single silver laurel tree grow so many flowers."

Uncle Crazy is a member of the Yejia family, a well-known flower and tree maniac, and is now a professor at an agricultural university, just because he was poisoned since he was a child, I now know so much about flowers and trees.

"Silent night, have you had enough! Is Xiao Lu important, or is your damn Yingui important?! Shen Ke was almost going crazy, and he glared at me angrily.

And my heart trembled, and I suddenly woke up completely from my feverish emotions, by the way, what was going on with me just now? will actually lose his temper, and that kind of fanatical appearance of not caring about anything is definitely not in line with his usual calm character.

Could it be that there is something strange about this yard?

I couldn't help but look around again, the butterflies, bees and other flying insects that were originally in order were all busy flying into the sky by us, and the whole yard was quiet.

Quiet, as silent as death, the sound of insects stopped screaming at the same time in a moment, only the various flowers in bloom, swaying slightly in the wind.

But this pleasant scenery inexplicably brings people a strong sense of oppression at this time. The peony-red ones on the flower stand were like blood, and they suddenly reflected on the retina, and immediately gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Those red abnormal petals were carried up by the wind and slowly fell to the ground, with an unstoppable strange aura.

Shen Xue rubbed her bare arms back and forth with her hands and said, "Have you noticed that the surroundings are suddenly cold?" And, you smell it! She took a few hard breaths: "There seems to be some strange smell." ”

I nodded and said indifferently, "It seems to be some kind of blood." ”

As soon as the words came out, he saw Shen Ke tremble, and then lowered his head and thought thoughtfully about something.

I wasn't in the mood to pay attention to him, in fact, at the moment I woke up just now, I keenly felt that the atmosphere around me had changed, and the air began to emit a strange smell, which was not unfamiliar to me, it was the smell of blood!

The smell of blood overwhelmed the greasy aroma of silver cinnamon, becoming more and more intense, I followed the smell to the flower bed, picked a bright red peony and smelled it gently, a strong strange smell rushed into my nose, I was taken aback, and immediately threw it to the ground in panic, my face suddenly became pale, and people were a little unable to stand.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Xue immediately came up to support me.

I resisted the trembling and said in what I thought was the calmest tone, "The smell of blood is coming from the peony. ”

She exclaimed in disbelief, and then looked back at Shen Ke as if she had thought of something. The two of them kept making eye contact, and finally Shen Ke bit his lip with fear on his face and nodded fiercely.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" I said in a deep voice in displeasure.

"Xiao Ye, are you interested in listening to an old story of the Shen family more than a hundred years ago?" Shen Ke kept looking at this courtyard, his eyes were full of intense horror.

"Tell me about it."

I'm not stupid, and of course I know that guy wouldn't talk about boring stuff in such situations.

Shen Ke coughed: "A long time ago...... Alas, when I saw these strange situations, I should have thought about it a long time ago. ”

"Hurry up and get to the point!" I frowned.

Shen Ke immediately laughed awkwardly and said, "Don't be so anxious, I'm not not going to say it...... Okay, okay, right away! ”

Seeing that I raised my fist, this cheap bone suddenly became serious, and continued: "More than a hundred years ago, the Shen family produced a freak named Shen Yu. That freak is not interested in anything but planting flowers and trees. He has a madness for flowers and trees, especially peonies, peonies, and laurels......"

Shen Yu stood in front of his new home, his face was still indifferent, and the people around him kept pointing at him, but he turned a deaf ear, not that he didn't care, but he didn't know how to care.

A few days ago, the old ancestor asked him to move to the back house, saying that it was because no one around could stand his stinky temper, he didn't argue anything, and happily gave up the house and moved into a remote corner of the back house.
