Chapter 2: The Mysterious Housekeeper

"Anyone?" Feng Qiqi shouted loudly, patting the knocker vigorously in her hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Is there anyone in there?" There was no response from the house.

But I saw a candlelight on the second floor! Feng Qiqi continued to knock on the door unwillingly, and Yuying said to Qiqi a little scared: "Miss, there seems to be no one, why don't we go forward and see!" ”

"It's so late, where are you going? Settle down here! There must be someone in there, I saw the candlelight, maybe I didn't hear it! I'll shout louder. ”

"Excuse me, is there anyone in there?" Kiki shouted with all the strength she could eat.

Finally, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs from the house, and the sound was heavy, like the footsteps of a man.

"Someone is coming down, Yuying, there's someone inside." Kiki was excited to hear footsteps.

"Miss, I'm a little scared." Yuying hugged Kiki's arm. My voice trembled a little.

"What are you afraid of, some people are not terrible, but no one is afraid." Feng Qiqi is bold when she is small, which has something to do with the fact that she grew up with her brothers when she was a young mother. Kiki is a bit more daring than the average girl.

The door creaked open a crack, and through the crack could be seen half of a man's face, a man in his fifties, with dark eyes and dark skin, holding a candlestick, which was made of copper, and the half-white candle shook a faint light, and the candle oil flowed down the edge of the candlestick.

The man just looked at them and didn't speak.

"Uncle, we got lost on our relatives' walk, and we want to rest here with you." Feng Qiqi is a natural liar.

"Why did you two girls go out alone?" The man's voice was low and hoarse.

"Oh! That's right, uncle, my parents died early, I grew up with my brother, and I quarreled with my sister-in-law yesterday, and I took my sister out in a fit of anger. Feng Qiqi opened her mouth to answer the man's question. There is no need to make a draft.

"I'm a man guarding this house, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep you two girls' house, right?" The man didn't want to open the door, but spoke to them through the crack in the door.

"Uncle, it's okay, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, so we won't delay you." Kiki spoke as she pushed hard against the door and squeezed inside.

The man obviously didn't expect Kiki's move, and Kiki squeezed the door open. The man's whole body was clearly seen by Kiki and Yuying.

This man has a long scar on the left side of his face! The scar was hideous and terrifying against the faint candlelight.

Yuying was so frightened that she hid behind Kiki, and even Kiki herself was a little flustered for a moment.

"If you really want to rest here, come up with me!" The man let them in, but he was polite.

The man took the candlestick and walked up the stairs.

"The stairs are a bit steep, look closely."

Feng Qiqi glanced at Yu Ying, who was already shrunk behind her in fright. Kiki took Yuying's hand and walked up the stairs.

"Don't be afraid, aren't you human! Isn't it just a scar on your face! I don't see like a bad guy. Kiki gave Yuying a boost of courage.

"Miss, I'm afraid, let's go! Go elsewhere! ”

"What are you afraid of! With me here, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Qiqi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, took Yuying's hand and went upstairs.

The stairs are a bit steep, and each step seems to be higher than the normal staircase. The wooden steps crunched when stepped on, probably because they were in disrepair.

The man walked in front of him on his own, and the candlelight imprinted his back as tall and tall. You can see that there is a long spiral staircase on the second floor of the house, and the handrails of the staircase are carved from wood, and the pattern is broken in some places.

"When you get there, you can rest in the guest room on the second floor for the night!" The man walked to a door by the stairs and stopped.

"I live on the third floor, just call me if there's anything, rest early!" After the man finished speaking, he turned to the stairs on the third floor.

"Thank you, uncle. We'll leave early tomorrow morning! Kiki said politely to the man.

The man turned his head to look at Kiki and Yuying, and went upstairs without speaking.
