CHAPTER IX
When Ye Hong opened his eyes, it was already four o'clock in the morning, he sat up suddenly, Liu Qingfeng, who was originally beside him, didn't know where he went, and he was the only one left in the whole room.
What about Liu Qingfeng? Could it be that he saw that he was sleeping too deeply and went to the kitchen alone?
The more Ye Hong thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he hurriedly went out of the room, wanting to go downstairs to the kitchen to find Liu Qingfeng.
The wall lamp in the corridor was still on, and the dim light reflected Ye Hong's shadow. Although Ye Hong tried his best to slow down, the sound of his footsteps still echoed throughout the house. He kept himself from looking at the portrait between the doors of the room, but there was still some unexplained fear. It was still dark, and the half-dome windows on both sides of the house were gloomy.
In this era, there should have been no electric lights, and the visibility of oil lamps alone was not high. Suddenly, Ye Hong stopped, he had just reacted to what bad idea he had before. The visibility in the kitchen is so low, how to check it after you go? What's more, three hours have passed since he proposed to go to the kitchen, will Liu Qingfeng stay in the kitchen alone for so long?
There is also a possibility that he is now in a dream! If that's the case, you're in trouble.
However, I had already had a dream just now, and it shouldn't be in a dream now. But no matter what, you have to find Liu Qingfeng first.
When Ye Hong was going downstairs, he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him from behind, and this feeling sent chills down his spine. He turned his head, and there was nothing behind him. Probably because the scene here was so depressing that I was hallucinating. Forget it, don't scare yourself out. Let's hurry up and take a look at the kitchen. Ye Hong quickened his pace, and the sound of footsteps hitting the metal staircase echoed, as if two people were going downstairs at the same time. Ye Hong was taken aback by his own idea, and when he reached the last section of the stairs, he almost ran away.
Looking through the kitchen doorway, it was pitch black, and there wasn't even an oil lamp lit. Ye Hong wanted to open his mouth to call Liu Qingfeng, but he was afraid that making a noise would cause trouble, so he stepped into the door. Fortunately, the match he asked the maid for was still with him, and Ye Hong groped for the position of the small table with the position in his memory, and there were indeed many candles on the table.
Ye Hong lit these candles one by one, and the dim light instantly enveloped the entire kitchen, and a middle-aged man was sitting at the dining table looking at Ye Hong.
Ye Hong was frightened by this sudden appearance and took a few steps back, and he quickly recognized this person as the servant who had told him to go to the church a week later. The servant's expression was very hollow, his eyes were facing Ye Hong, but those eyes were not godly, and he didn't seem to notice the changes in this room. He didn't mean to speak, Ye Hong looked at him, and suddenly had a not-so-good guess. He walked over to the middle-aged man and put his finger under his nose.
No breathing! This middle-aged man is dead! Thinking that he was alone with the dead corpse at the moment, Ye Hong didn't bother to check the kitchen for clues, he almost ran away from the door and rushed to the hall.
Ye Hong...... Ye Hong! In a trance, Ye Hong heard someone calling him, it seemed to be Liu Qingfeng's voice, this voice was very urgent, it seemed to come from a room upstairs.
