Chapter 53: The Night Watch
The long, questioning and threatening gaze made me feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Lu, what do you want to talk about?" Lu Xiaoling asked without being stunned at all.
"What do you want?" Lu Xingming asked.
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Lu Xiaoling said.
"What do you want out of this?" Lu Xingming asked again. "As far as I know, you haven't talked about compensation yet, have you?"
"Don't you think it's a little inappropriate to talk about this now?" Lu Xiaoling asked rhetorically.
"I think the opposite." Lu Xingming said.
He stood up from his desk and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and I noticed that if I stood in front of the window, I could not only see the spirit chamber and the fountain, but even faintly see the place where Lu Xiuyao had an accident through the treetops.
What kind of will do you need to keep working in this room?
If it were me, I would definitely change to a study room where I couldn't see it as soon as my beloved daughter had an accident, right?
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaoling frowned.
"I'm grateful to you two for finding the problem for us." Lu Xingming said. "But we all know that the people who can identify the problems are often not the ones who can solve them."
Lu Xiaoling wanted to say something, but he raised his hand and asked her to listen to him.
"I've come into contact with quite a few monks over the years." Lu Xingming said. "At your age, to be honest, I haven't seen anyone come out and do things alone. I've also heard about Master Lu Lou, which is very regrettable, but this is also the reason why the two of them came out on their own at a young age, right? ”
Lu Xiaoling's face turned black all of a sudden.
"Although it is a bit disrespectful to say this, I have already invited Master Huang Qihu from Xiangjiang to come over, and he will fly to Yuanshan at eleven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Huang Qihu~" Lu Xiaoling sneered.
"What do you two want?" Lu Xingming said. "As long as it's within reason, you can mention it."
"And then it's none of our business, is it?" Lu Xiaoling asked.
Lu Xingming said unabashedly: "I probably know a little bit of the taboo of monks, although there are also people who don't care about others, but a character like Master Huang usually has his own apprentices and assistants, and he doesn't like to have other monks around." ”
Lu Xiaoling was silent for a while, and then said, "I only have one request, let's stay until he comes." ”
"Do you think you have what it takes to solve the problem in such a short time?" Lu Xingming showed a surprised expression for the first time. "Do you know how many masters we've had?"
"I just want to be able to do my best." Lu Xiaoling said.
"Okay." Lu Xingming shook his head. He returned to the desk, wrote a check and handed it to Lu Xiaoling, but she didn't look at it and dragged me away.
"It's a bit of a good thing, no!" She said to me.
"I just wanted to see how big a number he wrote......," I replied reluctantly.
Of course, Lu Xiaoling doesn't have to worry about money, as far as I know, the rent of several shops under her name adds up to tens of thousands of dollars a month.
But I haven't had much business in that store for almost a year!
"The master has already told me, let me cooperate with you tonight." Li Yao didn't know where he came from.
"Just prepare us something to eat, warm clothes, a flashlight, and a room with a view of the mourning chamber." Lu Xiaoling said. "Of course, if we can come and go in and out of the mansion freely."
"It's all right." Li Yao nodded.
He arranged a room next to the study on the first floor for us, probably a reception room, with no bed, but a few big sofas, and then sent everything Lu Xiaoling wanted.
"I've already spoken to the security guards on the night watch, and you can go directly to them if you have anything." Li Yao gave us two walkie-talkies. "The frequency has been adjusted, channel one is the communication channel of the security guard, and channel two is the channel where the two walkie-talkies talk separately. This computer has internet access and the password has been canceled. ”
"Thank you very much."
Lu Yunwen also came over to talk to us for a while, and Lu Xiaoling tried to ask him about some secrets of their family, but he carefully avoided it. After sitting for a while, he also took his leave and left.
The delicate large grandfather clock in the room struck eleven bells, and it was the time when yin and yang alternated and yin was at its peak.
"Want to go out for a walk? Master Sun? Lu Xiaoling picked up a flashlight, about thirty centimeters long, which looked sturdy enough to be used as a weapon.
"Let's go, Master Lu." Not to be outdone, I said.
The hallway was lit up, but it felt a bit eerie compared to the daytime.
Because the girl's ghost never haunts the mansion again, our affairs are much simpler.
Walking along the stone path next to the house to the back, and then through the somewhat ghostly garden, the white spirit chamber appeared in front of us.
It seems to sparkle in the moonlight.
Lu Xiaoling walked towards it without hesitation, and I hurriedly followed.
The street lamp at the door of the mourning chamber was on, and there was also a light inside, and I looked at it, and the dead air did not increase.
Lu Xiaoling tried to summon her out with a spirit charm again, but still unsuccessful.
"Now it's just a matter of trying your luck everywhere." Coming out of the spirit room, Lu Xiaoling said to me. "Let's go our separate ways, and if we see her, hold her steady and notify the other person."
She headed in the direction of the fountain, and I stepped into the waterway where the girl had been in an accident.
This is where she was first seen, will she show up tonight?
If I see her, what should I say to her?
But I stayed in the hallway for ten minutes, and there was nothing.
"Do you see anything?" Lu Xiaoling asked on the walkie-talkie.
"Nothing."
"I'm going to walk along the south side of the garden."
"Then I'll head north." I said into the intercom.
In the distance, near the wall, a security guard walked by with a wolfhound, and he shook his flashlight at me, and I responded.
The trees in front have been trimmed into a little labyrinth, will the little ones love such a place?
I cautiously made my way through the middle and found a small playground behind the maze.
The swings, the wooden horses, the slides, all of them are wooden and look well-made, but no one has come to play for a long time, and they look a little dilapidated.
I think of Lu Xinghua's son, he is a year younger than the dead Lu Xiuyao, but has he never come to play with these things?
Squeak......
The swing was blown by the wind, and I sighed slightly and prepared to leave.
Squeak...... Squeak......
The voice suddenly became coherent.
I turned around and saw the swing reverberating rapidly, as if someone was sitting on it!
