Chapter 20: Strange Things
[I went downstairs as fast as I could, and I didn't turn off all the lights on the first floor, even the kitchen or the street lights outside the backyard, all of them were turned on. Presumably, the owner of this house will not care about the slightest electricity bill, the key is to make me feel at ease and down-to-earth. "Mr. Liu? Is Mr. Liu you? Are you back? "I cautiously made my way to the lobby, and with the help of the wall lamps in the corridor, the door was closed." Mrs. Liu? Are you guys back? "I tried to shout, but I didn't get any response.
I thoroughly inspected the first floor, and even moved from the front yard to the back yard, and there was nothing unusual except for a few dead yellow leaves floating in the pool. It was so quiet that it was so frighteningly quiet, and all of a sudden, I felt a little panicked, and I was worried that if there were robbers or robbers here, wouldn't it be a terrible thing to call the heavens and the earth. Back in the room, I locked several major passageways and double-checked that nothing was missing, so that there would be no emergencies.
When I went upstairs, I stayed outside the children's room again, this time the door was not open, otherwise I would have jumped and held my breath, and I was in a daze. To be honest, I don't know why, I feel as if there is movement in it, like someone is walking around, but in fact I don't hear anything, it's just an intuition, sometimes the cognition of the mind will be directly transmitted to the brain, and then to the action.
It was so crazy that I numbly stretched out my hand and hovered on the knocker of the children's door, but in the end I still didn't twist it, because I knew that there was only a wax figure inside, and it was really open, wouldn't it be a bad brain, and I would scare myself. Back in the room, I was going to take a bath, my body was sticky with sweat, in the jacuzzi, I enjoyed it very much, even the facilities in a high-end love hotel are not as complete as this bathroom, let alone comparable, I really wish I had been living here and being the owner of this place.
Enjoy the feeling of the foam gliding over the skin, with a hint of coolness in the itch, which makes my whole body relaxed, my pores are open, and I feel that the filth is rushing out all at once. I thought that such a beautiful mood would last forever, but I was wrong.
When I was about to change into a dressing gown, I found that my necklace was missing, it was my necklace, given to me by Yang Peng, although it was not gorgeous and exquisite, but it carried a heavy feeling. Changing into my dressing gown, I searched everywhere and found no sign of it, but I do remember hanging it on the towel rack before bathing, along with my dressing gown. I searched the room again, including where I had just sit, but it was still nowhere to be seen.
Late at night, close to eleven o'clock, I put on my mask, sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, opened my notebook, and then logged on to the communication device and sent a video call to Yang Peng. "This guy, why didn't he call me all day, didn't I forget about me when I wasn't by her side, or did I meet another woman? Went to a café with another woman? Maybe I even ordered my favorite dish. I pouted, and said in my heart, maybe this is the nature of our women, as long as he doesn't call me, I will always think about it, many associations.
Doodle...... ......"Hi, dear, you finally got a message, I'm in a hurry, where have you been, why can't I contact you for a day." As soon as the video was connected, Yang Peng's anxious voice came, and I looked at the beating video image, he seemed to be sitting at the desk in the hospital duty room, and there was a happy photo of the two of us next to him.
"Peng?" It should be that the signal is unstable, and the image on the screen always jumps one frame at a time. "Peng? Can you hear me? Peng? ”
"Hey, Xiaoya, I can hear you, where are you?"
The video image returned to normal, and I gently patted my face to make it more able to absorb the essence of the mask. "I've left you a message in the morning, I'm here now, around eleven o'clock."
"Message, I didn't receive it, where did you go? I almost called the police, contacted your classmates, they didn't know about any of them, and I called your tutor. He glanced in front of the camera, probably trying to see me better.
I remember leaving him a message, thinking that he was too tired to miss my phone because of last night's surgery. "I got a job as a domestic caregiver, and you see, where am I." With that, I stood up, holding my notebook in one hand and turning it in place, so as not to show everything in the room in the video, extremely proud. "See, haha, I'm in the palace, I really didn't expect it, sparrows also turn into phoenixes."
"Xiaoya? You're all right, it's pitch black over there, I can't see anything. ”
Hmph, Yang Peng is such a character, he can't see me living well, and he is afraid that I will leave him if I get used to a good life. "Can't see? I expected you to say that. "I pouted, not angry, but not happy, and at least that would motivate him, and I was counting on him to make me happy in the future, and I might be a beautiful princess in the castle." Yang Peng, I won't be back until about half a month, you don't have to worry about me, it's good to work here, although it's a little deserted. "I have a different heart, in fact, when I first came, I enjoyed and loved this kind of life, everything, everything.
"Hello? Xiaoya, the signal over there is too poor, the voice is always intermittent, where are you working, I'm free to come and see you, Xiaoya, hey? "He really knows how to dress, he wanders in front of the camera with his eyes, the video image is very clear, and I can even see the work badge he wears on his chest: Night Duty, Yang Peng. He must not believe me, maybe he saw me in such an environment, and thought that I ran away with a rich man, hmph, he is such a little belly.
I said in a deep voice: "Okay, Yang Peng, don't talk about it, I have to go and change the mask, bye." "After turning off the computer, I was going to go to the bathroom, but as soon as I got out of bed, a strange sound suddenly came.
Bang! This deep sound came from the corridor outside, and I was puzzled, and walked barefoot and tiptoeing. With a bang, I opened the door, and the corridor was brightly lit, and I could see the end at a glance. I stayed for a moment, but there was a dead silence around me, and there was no movement, could it be my hallucination, I just turned around and turned my head. Bang! The voice came again, and I'm pretty sure it's not a hallucination this time!
After a short decision, I quickened my pace and entered the corridor, the doors of the rooms on both sides were closed, and the children's room was also closed. Oh, it's weird, where did that sound come from? I stood at the entrance of the stairway, wondering, could it be a small animal in the woods that slipped in? The manor is already in the middle of nowhere, and it is inevitable that it will attract some chipmunks or stray cats.
Bang! It was like the sound of something hard hitting a wooden board, and this time I was able to discern the direction, and the sound source was from downstairs! (To be continued.) )
