Chapter 3 Double-Storey Mansions
Outside the study is a long walkway with wooden planks on the floor. On the left side of the corridor are rooms with dark red carved wooden doors, occasionally with oil paintings hanging in the middle of the two doors, framed with gilded borders, slightly different in size, but all of them are portraits. Unlike the walls of the room just now, the walls of the hallway were drab white, with clusters of wall powder half-falling off, and on the right side of each door was a small hanging oil lamp with a dark tray of dark lines, and although the hallway was well lit, the candles on these lamps still emitted a dim glow, which was indescribably strange.
On the right side of the promenade is a regular black vertical bar railing, perhaps the reason for the age, these railings are covered with mottled rust, standing next to the railing, you can clearly see the situation of the whole house.
This is a simple and spacious two-storey building, the layout is very unique, at the end of the corridor on Ye Hong's side is a room on one side, and a semicircular staircase on the other side, separated by a vertical end, and the layout on the opposite side is symmetrical with this half, that is, although it is the same floor, if you want to go to the opposite room, you must go downstairs and go upstairs again. In the middle of the rooms on both sides are two-story semi-domed windows facing each other, and there are no curtains in the windows, so you can clearly see the outside situation.
Most of the wall powder on the roof had fallen off in bits and pieces, revealing crimson bricks and tiles, making the whole house look gloomy.
A light-brown-haired woman in an off-white coarse cloth dress bursts into the sight of the two. She looked up in the direction of Ye Hong and the others, and walked upstairs. Her skirt was mopping the floor, and she was walking in a hurry, and from Liu Qingcheng's point of view, it was like floating upstairs.
She ...... She won't be ......" Even during the day, Liu Qingfeng felt a chill in his back, he took a step back, and hesitated to speak to Ye Hong.
Ye Hong shook his head slightly, the space would not let the task performer die without any clues at the beginning. He is now worried that the sudden appearance of himself and Liu Qingfeng, two Chinese, in someone else's house will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Lord Lange, breakfast is ready, would you like to eat now?" Unexpectedly, the woman was not surprised by Ye Hong's appearance, on the contrary, she kept her head down, very respectful. She spoke English, but Ye Hong sounded effortless, as if she were her native language. It seems that the space has created an identity for him, and there is no need to worry about the language problem. It's the easiest two-player mission. But even so, he didn't dare to take it lightly. Ye Hong took the opportunity to look at the other party, this woman is very tall and thin, her cheeks are deep, her eyes are blank, she looks lifeless, her hair is wrapped in a headscarf, and the servant clothes she wears look new, but it is a little dirty, she should be specially working in the kitchen, and a place like the kitchen is the easiest to spread all kinds of small things, so you might as well start with her to inquire about the things here in a while.
It's just that the other party calls himself Mistress Lange...... Ye Hong turned to look at Liu Qingfeng, and the other party obviously thought of those invitation letters.
"Yes, please show us the way." Although there is no time limit, it is inconvenient for Ye Hong to hang the other party.
The staircase of the walkway lens is made of the same material as the guardrail, the span of each two floors is not small, the middle is hollowed, only a foot as thin as a railing, and there are guardrails on both sides.
Why did this maid run up and down the stairs that both men found difficult to walk? She doesn't look light.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and kept up with the maid as much as he could.
When walking through the hall on the first floor, Ye Hong did not forget to observe. The layout of the south side of the first floor is almost the same as that of the second floor, except that there is only one open door on the right side of the west side, and in the middle of the north side is the entrance hallway, which is connected to the double open door, and on the right side of the gate hangs a huge religious painting praising human nature, which looks abrupt and out of place. There was a downward passage in the corner against the wall, and it was pitch black inside, so far away that it was impossible to see anything for a while.
The maid led the two of them into the door on the right side of the west side, the room inside the door was very spacious, a rectangular wooden dining table was placed in the center, there was a door in the left corner, in the middle was a fireplace, there was a shelf on it, there were several handicraft plates and porcelain vases, and there was a deer head hanging in the middle of the wall on the right, which should have been used to keep it incorruptible, and it was still lifelike at the moment, but the part of the eye was completely gouged out, and there was only a piece of the black hole. Behind the dining table is a miniature version of the semi-domed window, which is exactly the same as in the living room, through the window, Ye Hong can clearly see the lawn outside, which looks remote.
Sitting down on the main seat and seeing that there was only one breakfast, Ye Hong pretended to be casual and asked the maid: "Have I introduced you to this handsome young man beside me?" ”
"No, sir. It was the first time I met him. The maid looked at Liu Qingfeng, and there was confusion on her face.
"This is my friend, please make him a breakfast."
"Yes, sir." After getting down, the maid walked through the door on the side, and it seemed that it was supposed to be the kitchen.
"Eyes...... Deer's eyes! Liu Qingfeng, who had just sat down on the right side, looked at the restaurant, and at the same time as he looked at the deer's head, an eye suddenly appeared in the originally empty eye socket! He held back the fear in his heart, and suddenly leaned towards Ye Hong, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
But when Ye Hong raised his head, the deer head was empty!
