The three of them walked through the thick fog towards the villa complex. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info walked to the door of the community, first saw a luxurious Europeanized carved iron door, and the stone wall next to it was engraved with four lacquered gold characters of "Dream Garden". However, the gold paint on the words had long since peeled off and become mottled, and the big iron door was also rusty, and at this moment the iron door was wide open, as if it was silently "welcoming" them.

This situation reminded them of the scene when they went to Zheng Xiangqian's house for the first time. Zheng Xiangqian's house is also such a small western-style house, with a spacious courtyard surrounded by high walls and separated by a large iron gate. It's just that this villa community is obviously much more magnificent than the small western-style building built by Zheng Xiangqian's family, although there is no light, it is not clear to see, but in the faint moonlight, it can still be seen that these two- or three-story single-family villas are carefully designed and built, showing extraordinary taste.

However, Xiao asked for directions, but the three of them had no intention of appreciating it, because this was obviously not a good place: there were dozens of villas in the huge community, and none of them were lit up; From time to time, crows and owls stand on the branches, staring at them condescendingly and fiercely, and then suddenly flapping their wings and flying away. The roads in the neighborhood are also dilapidated, full of potholes, overgrown with wild grass, in some places the grass is as high as a person's chest, and in other places the grass is still shaking, as if there are rats and other things running through it.

Moran led the way in front, Xiao asked for directions, and the three of them were in the back. Yang Qianqian saw her walking alone in front of her, and couldn't help but step forward and pull her arm, and asked, "Mo Lan, you go slowly." Aren't you afraid? ”

Moran looked back and smiled: "I'm already a dead man, what's so scary?" ”

Yang Qianqian was speechless and smiled at her embarrassedly.

After a few turns, Moran stopped in front of a three-story single-story villa: "It's here." ”

The style of this villa is similar to that of other villas, all of which are in the same European style, but the color combination is a little strange: the exterior wall is white, but the roof is red; Moreover, compared to the decay of other families, the courtyard of this family is actually clean and clean, and there are no weeds at all.

The gate of the courtyard was not closed, and the three of them opened it with a gentle push. The three of them walked into the courtyard, only to see that in the center of the courtyard was a European-style fountain, and in the middle of the fountain was a marble sculpture of three little angels, and water flowed out of the mouths or ****** of these little angels. These little angels all have wings on their backs, their bodies are chubby, and their appearance is innocent and cute, and they are very lifelike. There are also various kinds of goldfish swimming in the fountain pool, and they are a rare species at first glance.

The fountain is flanked by two large flower beds, surrounded by low shrubs, with countless flowers blooming in between. Yang Qianqian only recognized a few kinds of roses and magnolias, and many other flowers could not be named. The scent of flowers blows towards them in the thick mist, and the smell is refreshing, even making people feel slightly drunk as if they have drunk wine.

This family is full of life in the whole gloomy villa complex, and it is out of place with other houses, which makes people feel much more secure in comparison. Yang Qianqian felt a little relieved, and asked Mo Lan: "The ghost baby asked us to come here because this is his home?" ”

Moran shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know, he just instructed us to come here, and didn't say anything else." ”

Xiao asked for directions: "It's okay, just go in and have a look." He's not going to let us here for no reason. ”

So the three of them went up the steps and walked to the door of the villa. Yang Qianqian stretched out her hand and was about to push the door, but Xiao asked for directions and said, "It's so clean here, there should be people inside." So he reached out and knocked at the door.

Xiao Wenlu knocked lightly on the door a few times, but there was no sound inside, and no one came to open the door. Xiao Wenlu waited for a while, raised his hand and was about to knock again, when suddenly a voice came from behind them: "Who are you looking for?" ”

All three of them were startled by the sudden sound, and they all turned to look at them, and saw an old man of about sixty years old, holding a small shovel in his hand, standing at the bottom of the steps and looking up at them.

Xiao asked politely, "May I ask who you are?" ”

The old man did not answer, but still asked, "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

Xiao asked for directions: "We are friends of the master, and we have something to do and want to find them." ”

The old man said, "The master is not here, and he hasn't been back for a long time, so please go back." ”

Xiao asked for directions, how could they go back so easily, thinking that although the master was not there, this old man would have a close relationship with this family at first glance, otherwise he would not have appeared in the courtyard of the family, looking at him with a shovel, he looked like a gardener, maybe ask him what new discoveries will be made, so he said: "In this case, we should go back and visit another day." But it's late at night, and I'm afraid it's hard to find my way back. Could you please be accommodating and let us stay here for one night? ”

The old man was very talkative, nodded and said, "Since I am a friend of the master, I am naturally obliged to entertain you, and it is no problem to spend the night." As he spoke, he walked up the steps, took a key from the short coat he was wearing, and opened the door to the house: "Come in, a few people." ”

The three of them followed the old man into the house, the old man reached out and pressed the switch of the electric light, and the whole house was suddenly brightly lit.

After a while, the three of them reopened their eyes, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them: they saw that the whole living room was richly decorated and extraordinarily luxurious; Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, famous paintings hang on the walls, sofas and furnishings are all meticulously crafted, and all the decorations are extremely exquisite and ornate, revealing the owner's strong financial strength and good eye.

The old man looked at the three of them with a shocked look, and couldn't help but smile: "Several, my surname is Zhang, and I am the housekeeper of this house, you can just call me Steward Zhang." I'm in charge of everything inside and outside this house. I live on the first floor, so you can tell me directly if you have any needs. You are friends of the master, and I will do my best to entertain you well. ”

Xiao asked for directions, and the three of them thanked Steward Zhang. Steward Zhang beckoned them to sit down on the sofa in the living room and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make tea for a few people." ”

After a while, Steward Zhang brought a tray with a beautiful teapot and a few small cups on it. Steward Zhang poured tea for the three of them: "A few people, please use it slowly." Xiao Lili picked up the teacup and drank it to herself. Xiao Wenlu put the teacup on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and there was a burst of tea fragrance, refreshing, it was really good tea. He picked up another cup and handed it to Yang Qianqian, asking her to drink it too.

After Steward Zhang finished pouring the tea, he walked into the courtyard, and after a while, he walked in with a bundle of firewood: "Several, this place is close to the foot of the mountain, and it is relatively cold at night, so I will light a fire for you." ”

Only then did the three of them notice that there was a fireplace in the living room, which was supposed to be used for heating in winter.

Yang Qianqian leaned into Xiao Wenlu's ear and whispered, "This Zhang Steward family is really good. ”

Xiao asked Lu and let out a soft "um", but his eyes never left Steward Zhang.

Steward Zhang lit a fire, and the living room quickly warmed up. He turned around and said politely to Xiao Wenlu and the three of them: "A few guests, it's late at night, and the upstairs guest room has been cleaned up, please rest early." Please follow me. ”

Xiao asked for directions, and the three of them followed Steward Zhang up the huge spiral staircase to the second floor. Steward Zhang pointed to the doors of three of the rooms and said, "I have just cleaned up three rooms for you, please feel free to move in." ”

Xiao Wenlu smiled slightly and said politely: "Thank you, it's really hard." We are a family, or living together is more customary, one room is enough. ”

Steward Zhang was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and said respectfully: "If that's the case, it doesn't matter." Please feel free to stay in the three rooms, each with a large bed, and the three of them should not feel crowded. Then I went downstairs, and a few of them rested early, good night. ”

Xiao Wenlu said goodnight to Steward Zhang, watched him go downstairs, opened the door of a room, and walked in.

The luxury of the living room just now was enough to surprise them, and the luxury and elegance of the decoration of this bedroom was not much better, which made the three of them speechless.

The bed was really big enough, not to mention three people, four people could sleep. Xiao asked for directions They hadn't rested for several days, and now they took off their coats and threw themselves heavily on the bed, suddenly feeling comfortable in their limbs, not to mention how comfortable.

At this time, Xiao Lili spoke: "Moran said, that ghost baby still hasn't said anything. ”

Hearing this, the expressions on Xiao Wenlu and Yang Qianqian's faces were a little dignified. Yang Qianqian asked, "Why didn't he reveal more?" We're here, but we don't know what to do! ”

Xiao asked for directions: "I'm also confused about this question. However, since he asked us to come, we will naturally know his intentions. And he didn't say, we can explore it ourselves. After a while, when Steward Zhang fell asleep, the three of us went downstairs to the living room. ”

"What are you doing in the living room?" Yang Qianqian asked suspiciously.

"You'll find out when you go. Maybe I'm dazzled. Xiao asked.
