Chapter 4 Preliminary Exploration
"What?" Intuition told Ye Hong that Liu Qingfeng must have seen something just now.
"There are eyes in the eye sockets of the deer head...... When he spoke again, Liu Qingfeng's voice had returned to normal, he looked at the deer head again, and the part of the eye socket had returned to the appearance of a black hole, and he couldn't help but think of the old horror movie in the past, and he was more sure of what he had just seen, but he was afraid that Ye Hong would think he was going crazy, so he changed his words: "Maybe I saw it wrong." ”
"The restaurant is the next one, and there is no room on the other side of this wall." Ye Hong paused, "I believe you are not mistaken, this may be a warning from the space, and some clues should have appeared...... It's just that these clues don't matter, so the ghosts can't hurt us for the time being. However, we still have to be careful. In addition, although space does not limit our time to complete the task, we still have to complete it as soon as possible, after all, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous our situation becomes! ”
"The trail has been posted...... What is it? Those letters? Liu Qingfeng sensitively grasped the key words in Ye Hong's words.
"Perhaps, we'd better check all the rooms here after breakfast. I briefly read the title of the book in the study just now, and I haven't had time to turn it over, so I don't know if there will be other clues in the pages. Ye Hong said, picked up the knife and fork, and began to enjoy his breakfast, perhaps because of his identity, his breakfast was quite rich, so although he didn't feel hungry, Ye Hong still planned to taste all these breakfasts.
When Ye Hong was halfway through eating, Liu Qingfeng's breakfast was also delivered, and the two of them finished their breakfast quietly.
"Which one shall we go to first?" Probably because Ye Hong was the only person he knew in this place, and he was also older than himself, Liu Qingfeng was faintly convinced of him.
"Kitchen."
After speaking, Ye Hong got up and walked to the door next to the wall, Liu Qingfeng wiped his mouth indiscriminately and followed.
The kitchen was much larger than expected, and it was dimly lit, and a faint smell of rancid odor filled the air. The windows were nailed shut, illuminated only by the faint glow of a few candles. Under the window is the stove and some commonly used kitchen utensils, there is a cabinet on the left, two servants sit at a table facing each other, different from Ye Hong's previous imagination, they are very silent, there is no interest in talking and chatting, seeing Ye Hong coming, his face did not show the slightest surprise, just stood up and saluted: "My lord." ”
"Yes, give me a box of matches." Taking advantage of the time when the two servants got up, Ye Hong looked at the sealed window, and tried to look at Liu Qingfeng, there were many questions that it was inconvenient to ask with his identity that he had always lived here, but according to Liu Qingfeng's identity when he came here for the first time, it was most appropriate to put forward.
Fortunately, Liu Qingfeng immediately understood what Ye Hong meant, and asked, "Why are the windows here sealed?" ”
The maid Ye Hong had never seen before lowered her head and replied respectfully: "The glass of this window was broken last winter, and because I was afraid of the cold, I nailed it up with a wooden board." Ye Hong looked at her, this person looked very similar to the yellow-haired maid next to her, the same thin and tall, but the hair was not yellow, but dark. But in the dim candlelight, it is difficult to distinguish the specific colors.
The yellow-haired maid quickly took out a box of matches and handed them to Ye Hong. Ye Hong pulled Liu Qingfeng, who wanted to observe more, out of the restaurant.
"Let's take a look at the other rooms first, and we'll wait until they're all asleep in the evening."
In addition to the dining room and kitchen, there are two rooms in the south, after Ye Hong and Liu Qingfeng entered, they didn't find anything important, but from the simple furniture and the shabby clothes in the closet, it was inferred that this was probably where the servants lived, one of these two rooms was a single room, and the other was a double room, and there were at least three servants here.
"Bang-" Ye Hong and Liu Qingfeng were about to leave the room when the sound of glass breaking came from overhead.
"Can you tell from which room it's coming from?" Seeing Ye Hong running out of the room quickly, Liu Qingfeng's face changed slightly, and when he got out of the room, he couldn't help but ask Ye Hong who was running in front. For a moment, he felt stared at, and the sound of glass breaking seemed to come from all directions.
"It seems to be directly above the room just now" Ye Hong didn't seem to feel that feeling, and ran all the way to the room he said.
It's a bedroom, the curtains are tightly drawn, there are no candles in the room, and visibility is very low. Ye Hong tried to pull the curtain open, but the hook on the curtain had not been used for many years, and it was already seriously rusty, and he couldn't pull it no matter how he pulled it, so he had to give up. He looked around and lit a few candles in the candlestick on the bedside table and two wall lamps on the wall at the end of the bed with the matches in his hand, and the whole room was a little brighter.
The quilt on the bed is very messy, lifted halfway up near the pillow, a landscape painting hangs above the head of the bed, and there is an eye-catching church-like building in the corner. On one side of the door is a large wardrobe, one of which is ajar, indicating the hurried departure of the owner of the room. Liu Qingfeng took a step forward and opened the cabinet door completely, and inside were some silk shirts and formal clothing such as black leggings. One of the red thin knot-tie shirts attracted Liu Qingfeng's gaze, and for some reason, a strong thought occupied his heart, he wanted to wear that dress!
"I've found the source of the sound." Just as Liu Qingfeng's outstretched hand was about to touch the dress, Ye Hong's voice sounded, and he immediately came to his senses and walked towards Ye Hong.
A ceramic doll with a broken body but still intact lay on the red carpet and watched them.
